Chapter 6 Stealing jade and stealing incense
Zhen's family is a huge rich man in Hebei, and it is not uncommon for there to be an industry in Yecheng, and Zhen Yu's trip is to come to Yecheng to supervise the operation of the shops at home.
Guo Jia and Xu Shu followed Zhen Yu into the Zhen family's mansion, took a short rest and rectification, washed away the wind and dust, and then sat down and sat down at the banquet. ”
The three of them raised their heads and drank the wine in the glass, and then they spoke freely, Guo Jia and Xu Shu saw that Zhen Yu was bold and sincere, and the three of them were quite speculative in their conversations, so they let go of their minds, and it was not taboo to talk about it.
Guo Jia and Xu Shu are ambitious people, and they often talk about world events with Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, and they can be said to be full of talent.
And Zhen Yu became more and more admirable in the conversation with the two, these two people are knowledgeable and have unique insights, and they are even more to the point when they talk about current affairs in the world, and they have more ambitions in their words, so they asked Guo Jia and Xu Shu for advice: "Fengxiao and Yuan Zhi are both talented, although the world is not chaotic now, but there are signs of troubled times, please teach me how to protect my Zhen family in the troubled times." ”
Guo Jia and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled, thinking in their hearts: Sure enough, they are children of the family, and they take care of their own family first in troubled times, but this is human nature.
Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "If you are far-sighted, I might as well be filial piety, so please talk about it." ”
Zhen Yu looked at Guo Jia nervously, and the expectation in his eyes was obvious.
Guo Jia didn't answer and asked: "Who are the robbers that the Zhen family encountered outside Yecheng?" ”
Zhen Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Looking at his clothes, weapons and martial arts, I'm afraid they are all outcasts." ”
"Why did the homeless people fall into the grass?"
"Cornered."
"Why can't the Zhen family give them a bite to eat?"
Zhen Yu was dumbfounded, and blurted out: "There are so many hungry people in the world, I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Jizhou alone, even if the Zhen family is bankrupt, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it." ”
Guo Jia, who was pouring himself a wine glass and drinking himself, did not look at Zhen Yu, who had changed his complexion, and said to himself: "If you want to become a hegemon, you must settle the hearts of the people, and if you want to become an emperor, you will win the hearts of the people in the world." The Zhen family is rich and famous in Hebei, even if it is said that the future is rich and rivals the country, if it is rich and unkind, then how long can it survive in the troubled times? Now Jizhou is full of hungry people, robbers who fall into the grass for the bandits, and thieves who occupy the mountains as the king, there are countless of them, and your Zhen family has a lot of money and food, if I am a thief, I will also seek your Zhen family. On the contrary, if your Zhen family is willing to help one side of the refugees, and give generous acts of kindness to win the hearts of the people, even if the troubled times are even, the mob is everywhere, and those who seek your Zhen family must think about it first, firstly, people are not ruthless, the kindness of the Zhen family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and secondly, the strong and strong do not dare to disturb your Zhen family, why? Moving the Zhen family is a move of separation from the people, and the lord with a little foresight will not take this path of self-destruction. ”
"Fengxiao's words can be described as a great goodness, and those who have achieved great deeds in ancient times must be the lord of the people's hearts. The people's backs are self-defeating! Hahaha! Xu Shu poured three glasses of wine, and was very excited.
And Zhen Yu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly got up, raised his glass to Guo Jia and said excitedly: "Feng Xiao's words woke up the person in the dream, Yu respects you with a cup." ”
Guo Jia raised his glass and drank with Zhen Yu and said indifferently: "Since the words have come to this point, I will say a few more words." ”
"Please speak, please speak, and please be filial to know everything." Zhen Yu happily sat back on the throne and waited for Guo Jia to follow.
Xu Shu also looked at Guo Jia curiously, to see what else he had to say.
Guo Jia took a few bites of food to suppress the wine, and then said: "What I said just now is the way for the Zhen family to protect themselves in troubled times, but if the troubled times come, when the heroes and the heroes start to divide one side, where should the Zhen family go?" ”
Zhen Yu once again showed a shocked face, while Xu Shu was mentally prepared and was not shocked by Guo Jia's remarks at all.
The meaning of Guo Jia's words is very clear, once the situation of the division of the heroes appears, it will not be the chaos of the Han Dynasty, but the death of the Han Dynasty.
When Zhen Yu heard this kind of rebellious remarks, the shock in his heart was incomprehensible, but he could only follow Guo Jia's words, so he asked, "Fengxiao, please speak clearly." ”
Guo Jia smiled faintly and said: "Qin lost his deer, and the heroes chased together, first Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and then Gaozu and the overlord. If the Zhen family was in the world at that time, when the victory or defeat between Gaozu and the overlord was not divided, who would the Zhen family help? ”
Who to help? Hindsight is naturally to help Gaozu Liu Bang, but the situation back then was that Xiang Yu was almost about to achieve the emperor's career, and now put himself in his shoes, Zhen Yu's head has begun to be chaotic, but he knows what Guo Jia means by this, if it is really a situation where the heroes are competing for hegemony, the Zhen family will definitely not be neutral, otherwise the new lord will reach the top, and the Zhen family will be wiped out, and if the Zhen family wants to support the overlord, who should be helped is the key, if the male lord who supports it is defeated, then the Zhen family will also be destroyed.
Go? Go? Zhen Yu was in a state of turmoil, and when he was fruitless, he had to look at Guo Jia for help, and asked: "Fengxiao, according to your opinion, how should my Zhen family be based on the troubled times to be worry-free?" ”
After hearing this, Guo Jia laughed and said: "There is no worry-free strategy in troubled times. From the heroes who compete in the world to the hungry people, who can guarantee that they will have no worries in their lives? ”
Zhen Yu woke up and sighed, as Guo Jia said, when the world is in turmoil, the destiny of heaven is still unpredictable, let alone these chess pieces. At the moment, he sincerely said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, I know that you are talented, if you have a high opinion, but please tell me." ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "I have no magic plan, I can only seek truth from facts and listen to you, if the world is chaotic, at the beginning, it will inevitably rise together, at this time the destiny of heaven is unpredictable, the Zhen family can be neutral, self-protection worry-free, and then when the hero stands out, the Zhen family can gamble, if it is successful, the Zhen family is not only rich and glorious, but also more likely to lean on one side." If not, hehe. ”
Zhen Yu was silent for a long time, his expression changed several times, and finally bowed to Guo Jia, and said gratefully: "Thank you Fengxiao for speaking frankly." Today, I have benefited a lot from listening to your words, and I can intersect with the two talents, which is the luck of my life. ”
The three of them drank until late at night before returning to their rooms.
Guo Jia was sent to the guest room and lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, first, he was not drunk, and secondly, he learned from Zhen Yu that he came to Yecheng this time, and his sister also went along, Guo Jia was itchy and couldn't bear it, and wanted to see how this Luoshen's sister looked, after all, the five sisters of Luoshen heard that they are all beautiful and fragrant, and now they are destined, if they don't see the beauty, wouldn't it be a pity?
So Guo Jia, who got up from the bed, sneaked out of the guest room and swayed in the courtyard to find his way, he didn't know where the daughter of the Zhen family lived, but according to his reasoning, it was expected to be in the courtyard deep behind the hall.
call
Guo Jia, who breathed a sigh of relief, hid behind a rockery, watching the yawning night patrol walk by not far away, and then walked out from behind the rockery, watching the courtyard gate being locked, Guo Jia looked left and right, and had a countermeasure in his heart.
He staggered to the wall, climbed the wall, and planned to turn over and jump into the courtyard.
The cold wind blew and the wine hit people, Guo Jia lay on the wall, muttering to himself: "Those who abandon me cannot stay yesterday." Those who disturb my heart are said to be troubled today. The long wind sends autumn geese thousands of miles, and you can be a tall building for this. Penglai's article is built on the bones, and Xiao Xie is clear in the middle. All of them want to fly, and want to go to the blue sky and catch the bright moon. Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water is more flowing, and the glass is more sorrowful. Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads flat boats. ”
Guo Jia, who had just had a drunken madness, supported his body with his hands and was about to jump into the hospital, but when he looked up at the courtyard, he was stunned.
Under the moonlight, the girl in the white dress was slim, with bright eyes and bright teeth, Qiong nose and pink lips, and three thousand green silk draped over the vest, like a fairy in the world, and at this moment the girl was looking up at Guo Jia with wide eyes, with a faint sense of horror in her eyes.
"Well, I'm not a thief."
Poof
Guo Jia fell from the wall in a panic and fell into the hospital, embarrassed.
"You, are you the young man who saved us during the day?" Zhen Jiang saw Guo Jia's face clearly, and immediately let go of half of his vigilance, but this move of going over the wall and entering the hospital, no matter how you look at it, I don't want it to be something that a humble gentleman would do.
"Yes, yes, in Xia Guo Jia, Tang Tu Beauty. Hehe, don't make a noise, I don't have bad intentions, it's just, it's just, hehe. Guo Jia patted the dirt on his body, and explained with a smile, in his opinion, it was not a big deal, as long as he didn't do anything to this girl, the problem would not be so serious, at most it would be a bad reputation.
"Just what? Although you said yesterday that you were kind to my family, what you are doing now is really suspicious, if you can't give me a convincing answer, I will ask my brother to arrest you and go to the official. Zhen Jiang half-turned around, looking unkind, Guo Jia couldn't see half of the pretty face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
Guo Jia had a headache and hurriedly explained: "I'm really not here to steal jade and incense, huh?" Do you really want to hear the truth? ”
Have clandestine affairs with women? This person Meng Langrusi is so hateful!
Zhen Jiangqi's pretty face flushed, glared at Guo Jia, and said, "Hmph, if you don't tell the truth, then wait to eat the official board." ”
After hesitating for a while, Guo Jia's head drooped, and he told the truth: "I heard your brother say that his sister came to Yecheng with him, and I heard that the women of the Zhen family all have a shy look in the closed moon, so I wanted to take a sneak look, but I wished. Do you believe it? ”
Guo Jia is really not sure, if the other party thinks that he is a flower thief, then this truth is that three-year-old children don't believe it, they all know that people are beautiful, sneak to see and leave? Who believes?
When she raised her eyes, she saw that Zhen Jiang's face was flushed, and her eyes were slightly ashamed, she avoided Guo Jia's gaze and asked in a low voice, "Then you should be disappointed when you see it." ”
Disappointed? Guo Jia was stunned again, and then suddenly realized that this little girl was disappointed because she praised her for her beauty, thin skin, shyness, and modest speech.
"Jia's wish has been fulfilled, so I will leave."
Guo Jia turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't want someone behind him to stop him.
"Hey, wait, I didn't hear the verse you chanted on the wall very clearly, can you read it again?"
Well?
