The matchmaker stepped through the threshold of Guo's mansion, and after a few days, Cai Yan couldn't withstand the swarming and continuous matchmakers.

Things are actually not complicated, at this time, Cai Yan wanted to make a decision simply, so he called Guo Ye and asked him what he meant in person.

Cai Yan sitting in the room did not have the sparkle of jewels, but only graceful and dignified quiet.

Guo Ye knelt in front of Cai Yan with a gentle expression, and he couldn't see his attitude towards getting married.

"Ye'er, your mother is willing to marry your father, even so, but at that time, at that time, your father was the enemy of the world, and glory and wealth were out of reach, I am committed to your father, at least no one will criticize your mother's heart for your father. And now, as the eldest son of the Guo family, you must be able to see the clues from the attitude of all kinds of people around you, some people are afraid of the Guo family, some people respect, some people flatter, some people deceive, some people hate, at this time, it is difficult to distinguish whether other people's intentions are sincere or not, these hundreds of people who want to be matchmakers in the family, no matter what the talent, talent, appearance and morality of the daughter's family are, at least ninety percent of them are with the purpose of settling with the Guo family, my mother wants to tell you, whether it is now or in the future, the object of your choice of wife and concubine, You can't just rely on preferences, the best thing is to find someone who really thinks about you, but you can see the truth in adversity, the Guo family is like Zhongtian now, and if you want to gain insight into people's hearts in tribulation, I'm afraid there is no chance. ”

Guo Ye listened carefully to Cai Yan's story, and when the words fell, he spoke: "The child should remember the teachings of his mother, these children are also thinking about getting married, thinking about it, the child finds that it may not be time to start a family, the four seas are uneven, the troubled times are endless, this turbulent day does not know how long it will last, the child's wish is to grow up sincerely and benevolently for his father to share his worries and relieve his labor, every time he wants to go to the military camp to practice martial arts, but also to go to Mr. Jia to listen to and learn, if he starts a family at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have no distractions, and the trivial matters at home will also distract the child, so, If the mother and father can put this matter aside for the time being, they will get married as soon as possible in a few years when the child is successful. ”

Unfilial piety is great, Guo Ye proposed to postpone marriage, he himself has no confidence, if Guo Jia and Cai Yan insist on letting him start a family, then he will definitely have no reason to shirk again.

Cai Yan only has him as a child, and the sooner she sees him start a family, she will naturally feel relieved as a mother, and she doesn't want to force him now, but she also has to have hope.

"Then Ye'er, when are you going to get married? At least let my mother have a bottom in her heart, right? ”

After Guo Ye thought about it, he lowered his head and said softly: "When the child passes the crown ceremony, he will get married as soon as possible, and at that time, he will have to bother his mother and mother." ”

Twenty...... That is, five or six years later.

Cai Yan was silent thoughtfully for a moment, then raised a smile and said to Guo Ye: "Since you have a plan, my mother doesn't have to bother much." ”

"Thank you for your understanding. The child quits. ”

Guo Ye saluted and got up and left the room.

Looking at his back, Cai Yan sighed: "Ye'er, do you want to learn from him even about getting married?" ”

Smiling lightly, Cai Yan shook his head slightly.

Guo Jia's situation back then could not be compared with Guo Ye now.

Whether it is the environment of the general trend of the world, or its own status capital.

The children of dignitaries and dignitaries generally get married at fifteen, and Guo Jia didn't have the capital and mind to get married more than ten years ago, after all, it was in the early stage of the chaos in the world.

Gao Ding, the king of Junyi in the south, wanted to demarcate the border with Guo Jia, but did not get a positive response from Guo Jia, and instead killed all his envoys.

The two countries are at war without cutting each other, and in Guo Jia's eyes, the war between King Yue Junyi and him is not a country at all.

Just because you are a self-proclaimed king does not mean that you have the power and status of a king.

Gao Ding, even if he is a king, is also a king of thieves who occupies the mountain.

If Guo Jia formally negotiated with him, or compromised with him, wouldn't he be laughing and generous?

The king of Yue Junyi retreated in Yue Jun County, and because of the cold winter and heavy snow, Guo Jia's army had to temporarily retreat to the north of Lushui, and then conquer the south in the spring of the next year, and during this truce, Guo Jia hoped that his "forgiveness" in the south would be conveyed to the ears of every southern people, so that the Gaoding congregation would betray their relatives and leave, and the Taiping army would get twice the result with half the effort to exterminate Gaoding.

Winter turned to spring, the earth warmed up, and the Taiping army once again embarked on a journey to defeat the rebels in the south.

At the same time, Guo Jia poured himself a drink in the pavilion in the backyard of the house, and it didn't take long for a pot of tea to go down.

The backyard is busy, the figures are in a hurry, and there are occasional heart-stopping cries in and out of the delivery room.

Da Qiao is about to give birth, Guo Jia, a big man, is definitely not easy to mix, the other wives and concubines are waiting nervously inside and outside the room, but Guo Jia is sitting in the gazebo, looking heartless and not in a hurry at all.

In this era, because of the low level of medical care, even if a large family gives birth to a child and the baby is born, at least three out of ten will not live for long, and the most common baby who dies of illness is "shock".

The help provided by Guo Jianeng is only a few simple disinfection methods to avoid infection of mothers and babies during birth.

"Your lady is screaming, you are about to have a child born, why are you still here so calmly? Don't you really care about them? ”

Zhu Rong didn't understand Guo Jia's current posture.

Guo Jia's expression remained unchanged and he was silent.

He didn't have to explain anything to Zhu Rong.

Nervousness does not mean jumping up and down like a headless fly, not causing trouble to others, not aggravating the nervousness of others, is the best help.

"Huh? Is it hot? Why do you have so many beads of sweat on the bridge of your nose? Zhu Rong approached Guo Jia as if he had discovered a new continent, staring at the beads of sweat on his face in surprise.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and touched it, it was really sweaty.

The mind is calm and naturally cool, and vice versa.

"Hehe, maybe it's because the clothes are thick." Guo Jia avoided Zhu Rong's gaze, picked up the teacup and wanted to drink it again, but the teacup that fell to his mouth was gone, and there was no drop of water.

"It turns out that you are different from the outside, and you must be worried about your wife in your heart."

Zhu Rong can see it, Guo Jia is calm on the surface, but in fact, he must be flustered in his heart.

Putting down the teacup and looking at Zhu Rong's somewhat triumphant expression, Guo Jia didn't care, lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "Is there something wrong?" Or, what's so funny about that? ”

Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, hurriedly waved her hand, her oblique ponytail swayed from side to side, and she said eagerly: "I didn't mean to make fun of you, I just thought you were too hypocritical, since you cared, you said it, and since you were concerned, you used actions to convey your mind, why do you want to sit here and look indifferent?" ”

Dare to love and hate, and act with a surname, perhaps this is the truest portrayal of a frontier woman.

Guo Jia lifted the teapot and poured water, poured six points The teapot has bottomed out, after putting down the teapot, Guo Jia's fingers gently stroked the body of the cup, and said leisurely: "Zhu Rong, you do things recklessly, don't consider the feelings of others, I can't." ”

Guo Jiayi is simply shocked and does not need more explanation.

He is the pillar of this family, if he panics, the Guo Mansion will not be at peace.

Zhu Rong looked at the busy scene in the delivery room, and said quietly: "She must want to know your mood, if she knows that you are nervous for her, no matter how much pain she has, she will definitely grit her teeth and stick to the past." ”

"She knows."

Guo Jia drank half a cup of tea.

In his heart, feelings are not spoken out, not shouting to the sky how much you love you is really as deep as the sea, his wife and concubine have a weight in his heart, a bowl of water is flat, that is not a saint who eats the fireworks of the world.

Da Qiao has been with him through ups and downs for so many years, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the current Guandu, each other does not need to test their hearts, they don't need to have a heart, and the foundation of mutual affection has allowed both parties to understand without words.

"It's a little boy. Congratulations Madame, congratulations Madame......"

The midwife's mother ran out of the room happily, and the baby's cry plunged the long-suppressed backyard into a wave of laughter.

Hu Guojia let out a long sigh of relief, got up and walked towards the delivery room.

Zhu Rong looked at Guo Jia's back, pouting and thinking for a long time without a clue, Guo Jia was a hypocritical person in her eyes, but it seemed that this hypocrisy was a rational and kind appearance.

It is a great joy for a newborn baby to live for three days, commonly known as "happy three", because the mortality rate of newborn babies in this era is really amazing.

There is also a full moon after the "happy three", after all, it is not reassuring for the baby to live for three days, and when it comes to the full moon, it is an even greater joy.

"Xi San" was supposed to hold a big banquet to entertain the guests, but Guo Jia just set up a family banquet in the mansion in a low-key manner, which was a little grander and more festive than usual.

After giving birth, Da Qiao's body is still a little weak, and he always has a faint and pale smile on his face, not only with a little bit of the brilliance of his mother's surname, but also a little bit of weak and morbid beauty.

This third son, Guo Jia named him Guo Yu, which is meant to shine.

Holding his newborn son in his arms, Da Qiao had a small amount of food, and he was forced by Guo Jia to eat a lot of nourishing food before he stopped.

The joy of celebration permeated the dinner table, only Xiao Qiao was happy for her sister, and at the same time, she kept harassing Guo Jia under the table with her mouth flat.

"Huh?"

Guo Jia turned his head and saw Xiao Qiao's resentful eyes, and he was also a little helpless.

Xiao Qiao pointed to his stomach, wanting to cry without tears.

"My sisters have children, but I don't have concubines, husband, you, you are eccentric."

Xiao Qiao lowered his voice and complained beside Guo Jia.

Guo Jia really has a headache, giving birth to a child is not something that can be done with hard work.

After scratching Xiao Qiao's palm, Guo Jia turned his head and muttered a few words in her ear, Xiao Qiao's face turned red and nodded gently.

The fox looked at Guo Jia suspiciously and implicitly expectantly, Xiao Qiao didn't understand, does it have to be in the open-air garden to give birth?

When the family was happy, Guo Ye suddenly stood up and came to Guo Jia, and said solemnly: "The child has something to ask his father to answer." ”

Seeing his serious expression, Guo Jia asked unexpectedly, "What's the matter?" ”

"If a child wants to join the army, even if he is a pawn."
