Chapter 19 Arrogance

Wu Yi walked on the way home with a heavy heart, he drank more restrained and never got drunk.

Wu Ban, who was drunk and red-faced, followed Wu Yi's side, praising his brother with a big mouth.

The victory in the south was significant, but all the officers who participated in the war were highly rewarded.

On the street late at night, Wu Yi suddenly stopped and turned around, looked at Wu Ban with a silly smile on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The lord intends to take my little sister as a concubine, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Wu Ban, who opened his mouth wide and spit out the smell of wine, was stunned, as if he was immobilized, and it took a long time to close his drooling mouth, pat his cheek and shake his head, as if he came to Wu Yi's side after a few minutes of soberness, and asked in a low voice with red eyes: "Is this serious?" ”

Wu Yi nodded worriedly.

The sluggish expression changed suddenly, and Wu Ban grinned and showed a smile, but he didn't laugh out loud.

"That's a good thing!"

Wu Ban's tone was marked with obvious surprise.

The Wu family followed Liu Yan into Shu, because Liu Yan suppressed Yizhou Haoqiang, naturally he was more important to his cronies, the Wu family was like Zhongtian at that time, and it was a first-class magnate in Yizhou to see that the business continued, but he did not expect Guo Jia to be born, and the Wu family declined with the fall of Liu Yan, fortunately, Guo Jia still used Wu Yi regardless of his previous suspicions, but in terms of status, the Wu family was definitely not as good as the part of the civil and military that followed Guo Jia at the beginning in the class of the real power in Yizhou.

To be honest, among the civil officials, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Qin Mi, Zhen Jia, these are all ranked at the top of the pyramid, among the military generals, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiao Jia, Gao Shun, Zhou Tai, Zhang Yan, these are the characters that ordinary wealthy families look up to.

But these are now, ten years later, twenty years later, maybe it will be a different situation, because of the differentiation of power, even if they are now standing at the top of the top and only succumbing to Guo Jia's high civil and military positions, but they cannot use their power to cultivate wings and successor power for their own family, the next generation of the upper position, still rely on real talent and hard work, Guo Jia's ruling strategy is to constantly renew, and today's powerful people are only valued because of the talent of someone in the family. The new naturally replaces the old.

It is really difficult for Wu Yi to go further in Guo Jia's era, because the people who are pressed on his head, even if they are not geniuses in the world, are also the best among people.

And now, the Wu family has the opportunity not to hope to compete with characters like Gan Ning and Zhang Liao, at least it may be possible to sit on an equal footing.

Using a family woman to enhance the status of the family is a very cost-effective and even worthless deal no matter how you look at it.

Wu Yi looked up at the hazy moonlight, Wu Ban's reaction now, he seemed to see himself when Liu Yan proposed to him.

After experiencing a big ups and downs, the ups and downs of life made Wu Yi look down on a lot, and he also broke free from power, he is a self-respecting man, and naturally dreams of becoming famous for generations, and hopes that the descendants of his illustrious family will be shaded, but he is more willing to use his own hands to achieve it, rather than sacrificing his family and exchanging a transaction for hypocritical glory.

"Alas, I don't want to force my little sister in this matter, everything is up to her."

Wu Yi stepped forward, Wu Ban was stunned for a moment and then caught up with him, reminding him in his ear as he walked: "If the little sister refuses, does my brother want to refuse the lord?" If the lord is displeased, the Wu family will ...... in the future"

Wu Yi didn't look back, and said softly: "If the lord is really as you say, then how can the lord achieve the foundation today?" ”

When facing Guo Jia's proposal, Wu Yi's first thought was that he couldn't refuse, but after calming down afterwards, he found that in fact, even if he rejected Guo Jia, he would not suffer from future difficulties.

This matter should be viewed with a normal heart, it is just the love of men and women, and it is just the pursuit of a fair lady and a gentleman.

Wu's family is in Chengdu, but Wu Yuan lives in Taoyuan Village, and two days later, she rushed back to Chengdu from Taoyuan Village.

Taking off his armor and changing into a chic brocade robe, Wu Yi sat elegantly in the hall.

After Wu Amaran went home, she came to the hall to meet Wu Yi as soon as possible, she was quiet and generous, and saluted Wu Yi after entering the hall, and then asked: "The eldest brother sent someone to send a letter to the little sister, what is the matter?" ”

Wu Amaran has never been involved in family affairs, and at her age, what can make Wu Yi specially call her back to discuss is nothing more than marriage.

With preparations in his heart, Wu Yuan waited for Wu Yi to reveal the mystery.

Sure enough, Wu Yi was silent for a while and then spoke: "The lord intends to accept you as a concubine, I called my little sister home to ask you what you mean, this matter, little sister does not need to have any worries, the decision of success or failure is in your hands." ”

Wu Yuan was dumbfounded and looked at Wu Yi blankly.

Seeing her expression, Wu Yi thought he understood her reply, waved his hand and said: "Since the little sister is unwilling, then I will personally go and give the lord a reply, you don't have to take this matter to heart, the lord is reasonable, and will not be angry with the Wu family because of your refusal, okay, if the little sister is fine, you might as well stay at home for a few more days, and go wash off the dust and rest first." ”

"Huh? Big brother, I, I, I ......"

Wu Amaranth's face suddenly changed, red and white, and her shy and surprised look was mixed together, which was extremely complicated.

was so anxious that she stomped her feet, Wu Yuan lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes and rubbed them back and forth, there were some words, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Wu Yi said it so bluntly, although she was twenty-five or sixteen, she still couldn't confide in her heart regardless of her reserve.

Well?

Wu Yi, who had just picked up the scroll, put it down again, looked at Wu Amaranth's entangled and embarrassed appearance and lowered her head, staring at her for a long time, until she saw that she was ruddy from the root of her neck to her ears.

"It turns out that the little sister already likes the lord?"

Wu Yi, who was open-mouthed, chuckled.

laughed at himself for not understanding Xiaomei's mind at all, and laughed at himself for looking forward and backward but just worrying.

Wu Yuan ignored Wu Yi's ridicule, this kind of joke will only make herself more embarrassed, she hung her head and whispered: "Please reply to the envoy from the eldest brother, just say, just say that the little sister is willing to marry." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Yuan turned around and trotted away from the scene.

Since it is a situation where Lang has a concubine's intention, Wu Yi does not have to worry, but can face Guo Jia with joy, at least Wu Amaranth's lifelong events have been settled, and he has a matter on his mind.

On a sunny afternoon, Guo Jia is accompanying Zhen Jiang in the backyard of the house, there are flowers and plants that Zhen Jiang has carefully taken care of for several years in the courtyard, she has no hobbies, the only thing is to like flowers, and the characters who can deal with Guo Fu in Yizhou will send some precious flowers and plants to Mrs. Zhen every year.

When the flowers are in full bloom, the scenery here is extremely pleasing to the eye, but when the flowers are withering, it is a sad and desolate scenery.

Zhen Jiang squatted in front of the flowers and plants, humming a little song in a very good mood, although Guo Jia stood behind her without saying a word, but at this time, she had an indescribable sweetness, even in the face of the scene of flowers withering.

"Daddy, a General Wu has come to see Daddy."

The little girl trotted over, Guo Jia squatted down and asked her to pick her up, kissed her on the face and asked with a smile, "How did Yingying know?" ”

"My mother told me. My mother also said that I should leave after telling my father, and I can't disturb my father. Put me down, I'm leaving. ”

Guo Ying was put down after struggling in Guo Jia's arms, and ran back like a gust of wind.

Standing up and wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Zhen Jiang said to Guo Jia with a smile: "It's strange, Yingying is not like her mother at all, she is never coquettish in front of her husband, she is lively, sometimes naughty Even Jin'er often has a headache." ”

Guo Jia took the handkerchief from Zhen Jiang's hand, gently wiped the sweat beads from her face, and said with a smile: "I think it's good, maybe she didn't inherit her ladylike side, but inherited my active problem when I was a child." ”

"Hehehe, then she will definitely give her husband a headache if she marries in the future. The husband has something to talk about, and the concubine retires first. ”

The elegant lady gave Guo Jia a charming look and left with elegant steps.

Guo Jia stood in the courtyard, waiting for Wu Yi to arrive, Guo Jia stretched out his hand to invite, and the two chatted while walking.

Wu Yi thought that the reply he brought would make Guo Jia happy for a while, but Guo Jia just smiled and didn't show too much surprise.

"Ziyuan, I have something I want you to do, but I don't know if you can take on this task."

Guo Jia looked up, indifferent.

Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, his expression changed from relaxed to solemn, and he said: "The last general is willing to do his best for the lord, and he will go all out to do what he can. ”

Guo Jia set his eyes on Wu Yi and said softly: "Okay, I hope you will be more arrogant and arrogant in the future, and there will be no one in your eyes." Can you do it? ”

Wu Yi was dumbfounded, and his thinking was completely inconsistent with Guo Jia's words.

"Lord, you, what did you say?"

"Didn't you hear clearly?"

Guo Jia asked rhetorically, tepid.

Wu Yi was shocked, Guo Jia's words, he must not have misheard a word.

"But why?"

There is no right or wrong way to be arrogant, and there is no law that does not allow it.

But this is, after all, an unflattering gesture that will affect internal unity over time.

Guo Jia put a hand on Wu Yi's shoulder, close to his face, and now not only handsome but also a somewhat mature face appeared in front of Wu Yi's eyes.

"Ziyuan, I want you to draw a line with Gan Ning, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Zhang Yan and others in the future, in terms of authority, you are now controlled by Gan Ning, but in terms of attitude, you must be on par with them."

Wu Yi still couldn't figure out Guo Jia's plan.

Even if Guo Jia was really worried about which general under his command, it would never be possible for Wu Yi and the main generals in the army to secretly turn their faces all at once.

This errand is difficult to be very heavy, especially for Wu Yi, if he is not careful, he may be hit by the destruction of the surname in the future.

Guo Jia privately instructed Wu Yi to endure the humiliation.

For people who are arrogant and domineering to Wu Yi's status and identity level, they can no longer be reflected by superficial flaunting and prestige, but more of a gesture and the right to speak at critical moments.

Wu Yi wanted to think carefully about Guo Jia's purpose and figure out Guo Jia's intentions, but now, he was faced with a choice and had to give Guo Jia a clear answer.

"The last will obey."
