The way the ancients named the streets and alleys was usually more intuitive, and the streets and alleys were inhabited by large households surnamed Li, so they were called Lijia Lane; There are often black-clothed guards gathered on the street, which is called Wuyi Lane; Xun Yu's destination, Qingmei Lane, the biggest feature is just a few plum trees at the mouth of the alley.

It was the middle of winter, naturally there were no fruits, and the plum trees with lush branches and leaves came to meet the scene, but when Xun Yu's Wupeng carriage stopped in front of a certain house, he still felt a quiet and elegant air blowing on his face.

Before entering the door, you can smell the fragrance coming from the courtyard, listen carefully, although you don't hear the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra, but the faint sound of boiling water is not the slightest bit of the kitchen's tacky.

Xun Yu waved his hand to the coachman, signaling the other party to wait in the distance outside the door, he dressed up his clothes, did not knock on the door, and pushed the door in.

After walking a short distance, Xun Yu suddenly raised his voice and said with a long smile: "I don't know which master in the hall actually aroused such a good interest in Fengxiao, and made tea and served the cup with his own hands?" Xun Yu is not talented, please see me. ”

A clear voice came from the hall, and replied leisurely: "The so-called seeing mountains is not mountains, Jia thought that this was only referring to those fools, but I didn't want Brother Ruo to be confused by mundane things, so that he fell in love with his appearance, lost his wisdom, and wasted his younger brother's affection for hospitality." It's a pity, it's a pity......"

"Huh?" Xun Yu was slightly stunned.

Yingchuan Xun family is a century-old family, his grandfather Xun Shu is well-known in the world, known as the god monarch, the family is out of the official is countless, the world-famous Yingchuan Academy, is rebuilt by a separate courtyard of the Xun family.

Because of this origin, although the Xun family does not have the prominence and ambition of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, the children of the Xun family all have a wide range of contacts and contacts all over the world. Xun Yu is one of the best.

Guo Jia is a high-minded person, disdainful of visiting celebrities everywhere like ordinary scholars, and participating in scholars' gatherings to make a name for himself, so although his talent is high, his reputation is not obvious, and his personality is even less known.

But for Xun Yu, these are not secrets, he is well aware of Guo Jia's hobbies and habits. This young man has been in poor health since he was a child, but he likes to stay up all night reading or talking. Because of the body, you can't drink alcohol, so you can only use tea instead.

He smelled the fragrance outside the hospital, and through Cao Jun's intelligence system, he learned that there were some mysterious visitors operating in the city, so he said it in one mouth. Guo Jia was entertaining an uninvited guest, but he didn't want the other party to deny it, and bluntly said: He was waiting for himself at a vacant table......

Rao is Xun Yusu's ability to change organically, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.

"There are friends from afar, and they are happy, why is my brother hesitant? Don't you dislike the little brother's humble room is too simple to entertain distinguished guests? "The tone is steady. With a calm attitude, Guo Jia in the hall seemed to be completely unaware of Xun Yu's embarrassment, but just indifferently delayed the guest.

"Then bother." Xun Yu smiled bitterly as he walked into the hall.

I have long known that the owner here has a high temperament. The words are sharp, and it is not a good match. To break some relationships, in order to gain the upper hand in momentum, at least not to fall behind. Who knew that he was still pressed back by someone with a word. It's not that I don't work hard, it's that the other party is too smart.

Fortunately, I didn't come to try the case. It's to probe the wind and use the envelope, otherwise today's matter is really not ordinarily difficult.

The interior layout is very simple, Guo Jiayuan is not the real owner, just temporarily borrowed, so there is no furnishings.

A bookcase is placed in the center, and on the left hand side is a bookshelf, and in addition to the collection of books, there is also a guqin. On the other side is the stove, in which the charcoal is burning vigorously, and on top of the charcoal fire, the copper kettle that has been scrubbed to the point of bright tiles is already boiling.

Guo Jia was sitting in front of the charcoal fire, with a solemn expression, looking like he was not making tea at all, but doing something important related to the rise and fall of the world and the safety of the society.

What's even more incomprehensible is that in such a solemnity, there is a hint of leisure, which is in line with Guo Jia's sentence that seeing mountains is not a Zen machine for mountains - boiled in a pot looks like tea, but in fact it is not tea, but the world.

Guo Jia didn't greet Xun Yu either, just listened intently to the sound of the water, and after a while, he looked happy, took two magnetic bottles from the side, and placed them a little away from the charcoal basin to straighten them. Then he got up slowly, took a very clean silver spoon from the bookshelf, scooped out a small half spoonful of snowflake-white refined salt in one of the two magnetic bottles, opened the lid of the copper kettle, and gently put it into the water.

Only then did he turn around and smile apologetically at Xun Yu to show the other party to wait. Then he turned his mind back to the copper kettle.

When the water in the pot was a little louder, he lifted the lid and used another silver spoon to wipe the fine foam off the water. Then, cover the copper kettle again.

After a while, the water in the pot boiled like falling beads.

Guo Jia lifted the lid of the pot again, but this time he did not skim the water, but scooped out two large spoonfuls of boiling water with a large copper spoon and poured them into the magnetic bowl prepared in advance. Immediately, a bamboo tong was gently stirred in the water, and while stirring, a silver spoon was used to scoop some tea powder as fine as broken rice from another azure porcelain bottle, and slowly put it into the boiling water.

At this time, the tea in the bucket room is already overflowing, and you don't need to drink it, you are already drunk.

In the Han Dynasty, tea was only popular among the upper classes, and could not be tasted by non-honorable ministers. The Han Dynasty was a peak of Huaxia Ming, whether it was in terms of national strength and martial arts, or in etiquette, the popular tea drinking ceremony of the aristocratic class naturally came into being.

Xun Yu is also from a wealthy family, and he is no stranger to this, but he has never seen anyone who can deduce this ritual of boiling tea and drinking tea into such a realm, which is simply not a kind of etiquette, but should be called 'Tao'.

Xun Yu only felt that he couldn't help himself, mechanically raised the lamp with the other party's action of inviting tea, and straightened his waist with Guo Jia's action, only to feel that every movement of the other party implied rhythm, such as dancing in the wind, beautiful, and the root forgot what it was like to taste the tea in his mouth!

The clothes on the other party's body are just green clothes and linen, and the tea set is far from being precious, and the tea room is only a few feet of bucket room, far from being grandiose, however, in Xun Yu's eyes, the person in front of him is like a beautiful son in the turbid world. Between the gestures, there is not a trace of fireworks.

At this moment, he had already realized that he had completely lost the initiative in this conversation. However, since he met such an object, he didn't lose unjustly. At the same time, he was also glad that he persuaded the lord that he didn't send someone to summon him seriously, otherwise. I'm afraid it's going to be tricky.

The copper kettle is not big, and in a moment, when the water in the pot is finished, Guo Jia is a little humble, which means that the preparation is insufficient. is not intent on snubbing distant guests, Xun Yu finally found a chance to speak.

"Fengxiao, the foolish brother will come today, and it was also an accident, how could you know it earlier? Could it be that there is really the ability to pinch and calculate in this world, and the ability to predict the future? ”

"The prophet of the unknown is vain. However, the sage sees the subtlety to know the sprout, and the end to know the end, although the Jia is not talented. But there are still a few points of this subtle collar. "From the moment Xun Yu entered the door, the two of them were fighting, but. Guo Jia's words are very direct.

"On the same day, the younger brother left Yecheng Nandu, and Brother Ruo had already come once. invited Jia to serve in the shogunate of General Cao, but the younger brother refused on the grounds that he was unwilling to be subordinate. Brother Zhicai went to Langya, instigated Mount Tai to attack Qingzhou, it is not a secret, today Xiahou Jie quickly entered the city from the east gate, describing the embarrassment, the victory or defeat of the battle of Mount Tai, the safety of Brother Zhicai, is not it already clear? ”

Guo Jia's face was not proud, but there was a hint of sadness, but his tone was still light: "A few days ago, General Cao Zixiao fought in Qinghe, and there were already disputes in the army, and now Brother Zhicai is going again, and the trend of Qingzhou sweeping Hebei is irresistible. ”

Without waiting for Xun Yu to speak, he asked himself and replied: "Jia Zi still has such a thin name, and Brother Zhicai also respects Jia a lot. In this case, if the elder brother comes today, it is the proper righteousness, if he does not come, then the younger brother really looks away and thinks too highly of General Meng De. ”

A few faint words, the causes and consequences, and the many complex relationships involved, are already clear and organized, Xun Yu only felt speechless for a while, and the words prepared in advance were all invalidated, and none of them could be used anymore.

Xun Yu has seen too many characters in his life, and with his eyesight and insight, except for Wang Yu, a freak, he has never met any character that he can't see through.

It wasn't until today that he really saw the true talent of this young man who was unknown to the outside world, the unpredictable talent of ghosts and gods, and he realized that his so-called wisdom of knowing people was actually not as magical as the legend.

This is not the first meeting between him and Guo Jia.

When Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, like many talented scholars, Guo Jia was invited by Xin Ping and Guo Tu to go north to Yecheng and join Yuan Shao's shogunate. Among them, there are those who get ahead; Like most people, there are obscurity; Only Guo Jia is the most special.

He was the most powerful in Yuan Shao, and at the moment when the boundary bridge blocked the edge of Gongsun Zan and Wang Yu joining forces, he asserted: Yuan Shao does not know how to use people, and he is not a person who can achieve great things. Then he drifted away.

This is a rather inconspicuous event, and even Guo Tu and Xin Ping, who sent invitations to Guo Jia, didn't pay attention to it, let alone the complacent Yuan Shao. The only one who has expressed concern about this matter is Xi Zhicai.

He is in charge of Cao Jun's intelligence system, and he can't hide anything from him, and he is one of the few people in Yingchuan who really realizes Guo Jia's talent.

Xi Zhicai conveyed the news to Xun Yu, so Xun Yu's first solicitation was made. As a result, after the two met, Guo Jia said frankly that he refused to live under others, even if the chief military advisor above him was his friend Xi Zhicai.

Of course, Xun Yu can't agree to such a condition, not to mention that he, a staff member, even if it is Cao Cao, it is impossible to agree to this kind of condition casually!

The most important rules in the army, Hua Xia Ming also values the difference between the upper and lower levels and the inferior, the drama is very talented, and there are countless meritorious contributions, how can there be room for Guo Jia to take the position? What's more, Guo Jia came from behind, and it was not just Xi Zhicai who crossed over, but the entire shogunate!

At that time, Xun Yu didn't see Guo Jia's talent, but he appreciated his arrogance and lofty spirit, and reported afterwards that Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, so the matter was delayed.

In this contact, Guo Jia's style is still as straightforward as before, but the difference is that he did not deliberately talk about the conditions this time, but showed his talent and strategy without a trace, which shocked Xun Yu at once.

From the beginning to the present, Guo Jia's every word and action is targeted, and Xun Yu has only been shocked one after another.

Thinking of Guo Jia's accurate prediction of Yuan Shao and Xi Zhicai's solemn recommendation when he was dying, Xun Yu's attention to this ghost talent has also reached an unparalleled level.

However, this is not the end, just when Xun Yu's thoughts were surging, Guo Jia used a faint sentence to completely crush his defense.

"Actually, Brother Ruo is not bad, Qingzhou did come to someone, just last night. If it's just about time, Brother Ruo is actually one step behind. ”

Guo Jia's face was calm and light, his expression and tone were so indifferent, but the words he said were like thunder, and they exploded in Xun Yu's ears.

ps: There is another chapter in the back, and today I will finish the plot of Guo Jia's appearance, I hope to satisfy my friends~
