After the business was over, the hall was full of laughter and laughter, and the guests and hosts were happy.

Zhen Yi, who rarely had a good drink, was helped back to the bedroom by his subordinates, Zhen Yi's wife saw Zhen Yi's face red and hot ears and a drunken and hazy appearance, and asked with a smile while taking off his clothes for him: "What is the happy event for the master?" In the past, it was said that he should avoid drinking less wine, but now he is greedy for a cup? ”

Zhen Yi laughed, stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Today, the old man is fortunate to know two young handsome men, this is a happy thing in life. ”

Now in Zhen Yi's eyes, Guo Jia and Xu Shu are really veritable young handsome, just based on Xu Shu's advice, it is already good, and Xu Shu is also a teacher and friend to Guo Jia, Guo Jia is full of talent, half a year ago Zhen Yu said that Guo Jia is a rare young talent in the world, Zhen Yi still doesn't believe it, now I see it, I deeply agree, and I remembered what Zhen Yu said half a year ago that Jiang Er fell in love with Guo Jia, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his wife and said: "Madam, Jiang Er is going to make a gift in the spring of next year, right?" ”

Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, master, I will find a good mother-in-law for her after the marriage, and I am always reluctant to think that Jiang Er will marry a wife." ”

Zhen Yi patted his head and said after dissipating some of the wine: "Jiang Er already has a place in his heart, it is the young man I saw today, Yingchuan Guo Jia." The old man plans to marry Jiang Er to him. ”

"Ahh Wang was shocked, she had also heard her son talk about Zhen Jiang and Guo Jia, but she just listened to it at the time, but she didn't expect that Zhen Yi really had this intention.

"Master, that Guo Jia is two years younger than Jiang Er. After he saluted, Jiang Er would be in his early twenties. ”

Zhen Yi closed his eyes and lay down, and said after a long time: "I mean, if Guo Jia really likes Jiang Er, let Guo Jia marry Jiang Er three years later." ”

"Three years? That Guo Jia is no more than sixteen years old, if he gets married at that time, Jiang Er, won't Jiang Er be a concubine? Wang's eyes were full of tears and grievances.

Men who have not performed the crown ceremony can only marry concubines, and only after the crown ceremony can they marry wives, of course, princes and nobles are not bound.

At this time, there was no system of three wives and four concubines, only one wife and multiple concubines.

Zhen Yi ignored Wang's tears, closed his eyes and lay on the bed and said leisurely: "I think Guo Fengxiao is not a thing in the pool, he said that his achievements are immeasurable, and when he crowned the ceremony, it was seven years later, seven years, seven years later, I will see how he has achieved, if I say what I said today, the second daughter of my family and the third daughter Dao'er coincide with the year of the marriage, and then marry a daughter to be his wife, so that Jiang Er will not be wronged by his side." ”

"Master, are you talking drunken now? Many wealthy families in Jizhou want to marry my family, but you politely refuse, why do you want to marry two daughters to Guo Jia, who was born in a poor family? Wang's tears couldn't stop flowing, and he really couldn't figure out if Zhen Yi was old and confused today.

Zhen Yi suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at the Wang family: "Women, what do you know? Do you think it is happiness to let your daughter marry into a big family? There are countless wealthy families in Hebei, that is now, now the world is chaotic, the Taiping Road is about to be chaotic, the world is about to be in chaos, and the wealthy family of today's family may be the dry bones in the grave! You married your daughters for their own good? That's pushing them into the fire pit! Now the old man and put the words here, the marriage of the children in the family is all decided by me, and all outsiders who discuss with you cannot agree, even if they agreed before, they can't be counted! The situation is treacherous, the Zhen family must act cautiously, and the slightest mistake will wipe it out. ”

Wang was frightened stupid, but she quickly nodded obediently and said, "Everything is up to the master, it's late at night, the master sleeps, I'll go see Mi'er." ”

Zhen Yi sighed lightly and pulled the quilt to sleep, while Wang went to the room of the youngest daughter Zhen Mi next door.

The words were divided into two ends, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were pulled into the room by Zhen Yu after the banquet dispersed, and Zhen Yu, who was still unsatisfied, asked people to serve fine wine, a few dishes of wine and side dishes, and the three of them knelt around the table and talked impromptuly.

Zhen Yu personally poured wine for the two, raised his glass and said with emotion: "Fengxiao and Yuan Zhi first saved me outside Yecheng, and now they have solved my family's predicament, Yu is grateful." ”

After drinking the wine in the cup, Xu Shu smiled first: "You thank you like this, I'm afraid it's a send-off." ”

Zhen Yu was puzzled and asked rhetorically: "What does Yuan Zhi mean by this?" I wish you two were staying here forever. ”

Guo Jia tilted his head and said: "Yuan Zhi is saying that I, Guo Fengxiao, am most tired of red tape, the more polite you are to me, the more upset I am, if you are polite, I can't stand it, so I naturally turn around and leave." ”

Zhen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "That's my fault." Fengxiao, I don't know where you and Yuan Zhi traveled in the previous half a year? ”

"Yecheng." Guo Jia did not hide it and said frankly.

Zhen Yu asked inexplicably: "What is the scenery in Yecheng that can make the two of you linger for half a year?" ”

Xu Shu smiled mysteriously and said, "Zhang Jiao." ”

Zhen Yu looked surprised, and then asked.

Xu Shu explained: "Half a year ago, Feng Xiao and I discussed the general trend of the world in the future, and Feng Xiao once asserted that the Taiping Road would be reversed, so the two of us went north to Yecheng to see Zhang Jiao and his people in person. ”

Expected it half a year ago? I'm afraid it's more than that, it was only said when the two of them were chatting, if he didn't say it, when did he start thinking about it in his heart?

Zhen Yu was already full of admiration for Guo Jia, poured wine for the three of them, and continued to ask: "If the Taiping Road is reversed, what will happen to this big Han country?" ”

Guo Jia took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "Although Taiping Dao is the opposite, it is difficult to become a climate, and sooner or later it will die." However, the Han Dynasty is not far from overthrowing. Your Zhen family must prepare early, what I said to you, don't forget it. ”

Don't look at Guo Jia's casual appearance, in fact, what he said in his mouth was shocking words, and Zhen Yu was convinced by Guo Jia, and he also knew what Guo Jia was referring to, that is, if one day the heroes were divided, the Zhen family must not support which hero with a hot brain, I am afraid that Guo Jia will have to consult Guo Jia at that time.

Half a year ago, Zhen Yu was skeptical when he heard what Guo Jia said, because at that time he didn't think that Taiping Dao would be in chaos, and now even his father is worried about Taiping Dao chaos, if it is really the opposite, half of the country will lose stability, and in this situation, Guo Jia in front of him has already expected that this person is young but talented, and he can meet such a person, as if God rewarded him, the Zhen family is very lucky.

Although Zhen Yu's talent is mediocre, but he is honest and upright, he is deeply appreciated by Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and the three of them talk about everything under the fate, speaking of Guo Jia's purpose of making friends is also very simple, don't look at your background, don't look at your talent, just look at your surname, his best friend Xun Yu was born in the Yingchuan Shi clan, and Xi Zhicai was born in poverty, Xu Shu is a ranger in the rivers and lakes, on the contrary, there are also children of wealthy scholars in Yingchuan who have stammered him Guo Fengxiao, but unfortunately Guo Jia just can't look at it, because he can see at a glance that those people have ghosts, And Zhen Yu obviously has a great appetite for Guo Jia, so he fell in love with him.

After three rounds of drinking, Guo Jia took out a piece of silk cloth from a package he brought when he went out and handed it to Zhen Yu, added another glass of wine, and continued to eat.

Zhen Yu took the silk cloth and opened it to see that there was a recipe written on it, and a strange thing was drawn, but fortunately, there was a detailed note below.

"Bonghyo, this is the recipe for winemaking? But what is the process called distillation? I've been traveling north and south for a few years, and I've never heard of it, so what's the use of this still? ”

Guo Jia gave him a detailed explanation after burping, Xu Shu was not surprised after listening to it, he had already seen the magic of Guo Jia, but Zhen Yu asked hesitantly: "Is the wine made with this recipe really a hundred times more mellow than today's wine?" ”

"You brew it according to this method, and after the thing is done, you will know it as soon as you taste it." Guo Jia was full of food and drink, his body was sideways, and he lay on the ground very unsightly.

He is used to following his surname, Xu Shu is not surprised, Zhen Yu also knows that this is Guo Jia's surname, and he doesn't mind, he asked solemnly: "Fengxiao, if the wine made by this method is really as you said, then this recipe is not worth ten thousand gold." How can I take such a valuable thing easily, you better put it away quickly. ”

Guo Jia lay on the ground and looked at the roof, and said with a smile: "You know that there is no merit, let me tell you frankly, I have helped 300 homeless households in Yingchuan, and it is still difficult to be self-sufficient, how can there be grain and wine?" Besides, this still can't be made by skilled craftsmen, so where can I afford to hire these people? This recipe is indeed worth 10,000 gold, but it is worthless in my hands, and it is a treasure to gather wealth in the hands of your Zhen family. ”

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhen Yu said: "My Zhen family can fund Fengxiao to open a winemaking workshop, and when Fengxiao is completed, I will return the capital to my Zhen family." ”

"Zhen Yu, you are really a big fool, this is a great way to make money, with this formula, why is your Zhen family rich in Hebei? The rich can rival the country, and it is said that it can be treated. Send it to you but don't want it? There are many people in the world who want to rob it. Guo Jia lay on his back on the floor with a drunken smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Yu refused even more directly: "Fengxiao, although I Zhen Yu is a businessman, I respect you and young heroes like Yuan Zhi, you are both proud friends in my life, for the prosperity of the family, I should accept your generous gift, but in the righteousness of friends, I can't accept it." ”

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Fengxiao, he doesn't appreciate your kindness, in my opinion, your desire to be the son-in-law of the Zhen family is afraid that it will be in vain." ”

Guo Jia sat up with a spirit, pointed at Xu Shu and scolded: "Xu Yuanzhi, don't talk about it, when did I say that I wanted to be the son-in-law of the Zhen family?" ”

Xu Shu ignored Guo Jia, and instead smiled at Zhen Yu: "Don't you still understand what Feng Xiao's move means?" This brewing recipe is a dowry for filial piety. ”

"Ahh Is this serious? Fengxiao, do you really want to marry my eldest sister? Zhen Yu took Guo Jia's hand with an excited expression and forced him to ask.

Guo Jia couldn't argue, his original intention of taking out this winemaking recipe had nothing to do with Zhen Jiang at all, but Xu Shu used the topic to make Zhen Yu believe it, and now what he says, I'm afraid Zhen Yu won't believe it.

Guo Jia, who covered his head and sighed that he was unladylike, had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, well, I will give my father and filial piety, and I will do my best to match this marriage."

Zhen Yu was overjoyed, and after dancing and drinking, he drank several glasses in a row, but he didn't notice that Guo Jia was glaring at Xu Shu hatefully, and Xu Shu's eyes were full of ridicule.
