It is said that when Zhen Yu and his entourage returned home from Yecheng, they first entered the church to meet the elders and greet their parents, Zhen Jiang hurriedly ran back to his room, took out all his gold and silver jewelry, held it in front of Zhen Yu and said: "Brother, how much do you think these can be pawned?" ”

Zhen Yu couldn't cry or laugh, his father Zhen Yi looked surprised, and asked, "What does Jiang Er mean by this?" Aren't these your favorite pieces of jewelry?"

Zhen Jiang said with a serious face: "Now the world is chaotic, the people are not happy, our Zhen family is rich and difficult to covet, if the disaster falls, no amount of gold, silver and jewelry can not protect the safety of our Zhen family, it is better to help one side of the refugees, one is a good deed, can accumulate virtue, second, our Zhen family can do its best to appease the surrounding people, for a long time, the people are grateful and virtuous, and the small people do not dare to fight with our Zhen family." ”

Zhen Yi got up in shock after hearing this, glared at Zhen Jiang and asked, "These are all you came up with?" ”

Zhen Jiang shook his head and said honestly, "This is what my friend and my brother met in Yecheng said. I thought so, so I wanted to exchange some money to support the refugees. ”

Zhen Yi, who was shocked, turned his head and looked at Zhen Yu, Zhen Yu understood and told the bits and pieces of Yecheng and Guo Jia and Xu Shu, the only thing to hide was Guo Jia and Zhen Jiang's tryst in the middle of the night.

"Jiang Er, you have this heart, I am deeply gratified for my father, you can take back these jewelry, at this time, it is beneficial to help the Zhen family in need, and my father will naturally agree, and I will make plans after thinking about my father."

Zhen Jiang left happily, while Zhen Yi recruited all three sons to the study.

Although the second son Zhen Yan and the youngest son Zhen Yao are not sincere, they are both sixteen or seventeen years old, and they have begun to get in touch with family affairs, and they can take charge of themselves after a little experience.

"This Guo Jia is really talking wildly, how can I say that the country of the Han Dynasty for 400 years is chaotic and divided? Hmph, alarmist! ”

After listening to Zhen Yu Guo Jia said one by one, Zhen Yan first sneered at it, and was very disdainful, he is also a scholar who reads poetry and books, and yearns for fame and fame, and soon he will set foot in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty with filial piety and honesty.

"Women and children! There is no way, what is the end? What is the fate of tyrannical Qin and no way? The three of you have read the books of the sages, don't you still understand such a superficial truth? In my opinion, this Guo Jia has this vision at a young age, and this son is limitless in the future. Zhen Yu, you can get to know such a young man in Yecheng this time, and you must keep in touch with him in the future, I can't say that one day the wind and clouds will meet, this person will be a blockbuster. Zhen Yi looked at his three sons and sighed in his heart: Why don't I have a son as far-sighted as Guo Jia?

Coughing lightly, Zhen Yu wanted to speak and stopped, Zhen Yi saw this and said, "Between father and son, don't worry, but it's okay to say." ”

Zhen Yu stubbornly told the matter of Guo Jia and Zhen Jiang, and added a sentence at the end: "I think that the eldest sister has fallen in love with Guo Jia, but it is better to fulfill the eldest sister's wishes." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhen Yi was expressionless and did not say anything, but the third son Zhen Yao jumped out and said sharply: "Ridiculous! That Guo Jia is just a cold warrior in Yingchuan, how can he be worthy of the daughter of my Zhen family? If the eldest sister is married to Guo Jia, isn't that a way for the eldest sister to follow Guo Jia through the bitter cold and helpless days? Big brother, does the Zhen family need to recruit a son-in-law when they woo a poor child? In my opinion, it is enough to give Guo Jia gold, silver and jewelry, if he is not moved, then my Zhen family will find someone to recommend him, thinking that he is a poor disciple, if he can set foot in the career, he will definitely be grateful to my Zhen family. ”

Looking at the indignant third brother, Zhen Yu sighed lightly, did not speak, just looked at his father.

Zhen Yi closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and then asked: "Such a young man, can Qian Bo move his heart?" He has seen that troubled times are coming, how can he set foot in the official career? Besides, with this talent, how can I not see my Zhen family's means of giving favor and seeking retribution? Fellowship with this person must be sincere. However, today it is said that listening to Guo Jia's name is a one-sided word, if he is really interested in Jiang Er, he will have the opportunity to meet, and this matter will be discussed later. ”

Half a year later, when Guo Jia and Xu Shu were about to enter Wuji County in Zhongshan Kingdom, they saw a long queue of people outside the county, stretching for miles.

After getting off the horse and walking, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were surprised, so they asked an old man on the side of the road.

"Little brother, don't you know that the Zhen family gives porridge to the people every fifteenth day of the new year? There are also clothes to give, and the Zhen family is really a charity home. ”

Xu Shu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, led Ma Chao County to walk in the city, and at the gate of the city, they saw that the people of the Zhen family were busy with their worries, and they served porridge to the people who came forward, and if the people were in tatters, they would give new clothes.

And what dazzled Guo Jia was that the Zhen family who gave porridge was Zhen Jiang, and when it was winter, Zhen Jiang, who was wearing a leather jacket and a snow-white cloak, was thrillingly beautiful, like a fairy in the mortal world, and there were three delicate and moving little girls beside her, which was simply beautiful.

Just filled a bowl of porridge for the hungry people, Zhen Jiang lowered her head and asked her little sister to help her wipe the sweat beads on her forehead, and when she looked up, she found two smiling teenagers standing on the county road, and they immediately stood in place.

After a moment of surprise, Zhen Jiang suddenly smiled, as bright and moving as a hundred flowers blooming on the earth in spring.

"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and readable. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country? Beautiful women are hard to come by. Guo Jia couldn't help but whisper, and Xu Shu was smiling, secretly knowing Guo Jia for a year and a half, but he didn't know that this person was really a wanderer, I used to think that he was just pretending to be Meng Lang to confuse the public, but I didn't expect him to be a surname.

After handing over the soup kitchen to the subordinate next to her, Zhen Jiang hurriedly came to Guo Jia with her three younger sisters, and she was laughed by Guo Jia before she could open her mouth.

"I have heard for a long time that the eldest lady of the Zhen family is famous, and now I finally see it, which is the luck of my life."

After that, Guo Jia solemnly saluted, Xu Shu couldn't cry or laugh, this Guo Jia flirted and scolded, and he stood next to him, and he had to salute.

Zhen Jiangqiao smiled and said angrily: "Don't count, you still like to play tricks so much." It's so cold, you two are thinly dressed, and you don't worry about getting sick? ”

Guo Jia and Xu Shu only wore a robe, which was indeed pitiful, but Guo Jia smiled and said: "The two of us practice martial arts all year round, and the cold and heat will not invade, but if Miss Zhen intends to give me two warm clothes, it will be disrespectful." ”

Zhen Jiang glared at Guo Jia, but the corners of her mouth rose, full of smiles, and at this time, she felt someone tugging at her clothes, turned her head to see that the second sister and the third sister were hiding behind her, looking at Guo Jia curiously, so she pulled out the two sisters and said to Guo Jia: "This is my second sister Zhen Tuo, the third sister Zhen Dao, and the child held by the third sister is my fourth sister Zhen Rong." ”

Zhen Jiang, who was just about to let his three younger sisters see him, was hugged by Zhen Rong, who looked no more than three or four years old, and only heard Zhen Rong's milk voice and raised his head and said to Zhen Jiang: "Sister, hug." ”

Zhen Jiang had a headache, stroked Zhen Rong's head and said softly: "Rong'er, the eldest sister can't hold you, let the brothers hug you when you go home, be good." ”

Zhen Rong's mouth flattened, and he became sullen, but he didn't expect to be picked up from behind and held in his arms.

Zhen Jiang watched in surprise as Guo Jia picked up Zhen Rong, and after a moment, he said quickly, "Rong'er, come down." ”

Zhen Rong was comfortably hugged by Guo Jia, and saw Guo Jia with a warm smile, which made people feel close, and when he heard the words of the eldest sister, he turned his head, hugged Guo Jia's neck with both hands, and shook his head.

"Yuan Zhi, do you think if I aspire to be a child abductor, is it very promising?" Guo Jia held Zhen Rong in one hand and led the horse towards the county town with the other.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said to Zhen Jiang: "Fengxiao has always acted honestly, the fourth lady of the Zhen family is delicate and cute, and people are pitiful. ”

Zhen Jiang smiled silently, and led Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao to follow Guo Jia into the county seat.

Hearing that Guo Jia and Xu Shu were visiting, Zhen Yu opened the door of the mansion and greeted each other with a smile, Guo Jia saw the door of the Zhen family's mansion wide open, Zhen Yu came to greet him with a smile, and said with emotion: "Jiayi ordinary people, how can they be treated so favorably by the Zhen family?" ”

At this time, there are many rules for welcoming guests, and opening the door of the house is the highest courtesy.

Zhen Yu hugged his fists and said: "After a farewell to Yecheng, Yu Pan Fengxiao and Yuan Zhi are like a long drought and hope for Ganlin, today the two of them are visiting, how can I not fulfill the friendship of the landlord?" Two of you, please inside, my father has set down a feast, and I respectfully invite you two. ”

At this time, even Guo Jia, who has always been indifferent, replied solemnly: "This, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

You must know that Zhen Yi, the master of the Zhen family, is a person with an official position, although he is an idle official, he does not need to treat Guo Jia and Xu Shu so ceremoniously, since he has put on such a posture to welcome Guo Jia and Xu Shu, it is enough to show the weight of sincerity.

At the entrance to the hall, Guo Jia and Xu Shu saw Zhen Yi get up to greet him, and in the face of this elegant and elegant elder, Guo Jia respectfully saluted and said: "Yingchuan Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, meet Lord Zhen." ”

"Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi to meet Lord Zhen." Xu Shu also bowed respectfully.

"Hehe, I have heard that Yingchuan is more handsome, and now I can see the good man of Yingchuan, it is a blessing for the old man, if Feng Xiao and Yuan Zhi do not dislike it, just call the old man an uncle." Zhen Yi nodded frequently after looking at Guo Jia and Xu Shu, these two people are heroic and have a faint bearing, and they are really handsome among people.

The Zhen family is extremely hospitable, and the wine and food are not a problem, and Guo Jia and Xu Shu sit on one side, and the three sons of the Zhen family sit opposite, Zhen Yi frequently raises his glass on the main seat, and talks freely with Guo Jia and Xu Shu, sometimes laughing.

When the wine was in full swing, Zhen Yao raised his glass and came to Guo Jia, and said with an inexplicable smile: "I have heard for a long time that Fengxiao is incomparable in talent and lofty ambitions, but I came from a humble background and has no way to serve the country. ”

As soon as these words came out, the color of the person who heard it changed, Xu Shu had put down the wine glass heavily, and his face was gloomy, and the only one who did not change his face was Guo Jia.

Raising his head and drinking the wine in the cup, Guo Jia chuckled and said: "With the Zhen family's huge wealth, why do you need to be recommended by the court, the official who is clearly priced in Yanjing only needs the Zhen family to make a small fortune, and the official is at your fingertips, since the Zhen family treats me so kindly, why don't you seek a position of the third prince for me?" ”

After Guo Jia's words, the faces of the Zhen family changed greatly, the four fathers and sons had different complexions, Zhen Yi smiled slyly, Zhen Yu looked eager, Zhen Yan was thoughtful, and Zhen Yao was angry.

Guo Jia, who had a full view of the expressions of the four people, turned his words, got up and said: "There are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation in more than half a sentence." After thanking the Zhen family for their hospitality, he immediately said goodbye, and before leaving, he had a piece of advice: the court is a place of right and wrong, and now it is the monopoly of the ten permanent servants and relatives, if the Zhen family wants to make a difference in their careers, it is unwise. That's all I have to say, farewell. ”

"Filial piety and stay!"
