Chapter 177: Zhen (1)

The group of four quickly got a little tired, and Guan Chun proposed to go to the Hero Building for a drink. Since he was going to his own territory, Guo Jia naturally had no reason to refuse, not to mention that today's incident did cost him a lot of effort, and although the verbal quarrel between him and Frustration was not smoky, it was more tense than the battlefield where he really saw blood.

It was almost noon when he arrived at the Hero Building, and the front of the Hero Building was already crowded with guests who came to party and drink, not good at the Chun and Geng Wuzai, these two people were high-ranking officials in Jizhou after all, and naturally someone gave up their seats, but Guo Jia was secretly smiling in his heart, although this person was a high-ranking official in Jizhou, but he was half a person in this Hero Building, and this kind of situation did have a bit of a feeling of life like a play.

The person who received Geng Wu and Guan Chun was naturally Zhang Gu, after all, the identity was there. And Guan Chun and Geng Wu are obviously also regular customers of the Hero Building, and after seeing Zhang Gu, they said directly: "We're still in the old place." After that, he looked back at Guo Jia and asked, "What else does Mr. Guo want?" The obscenity in his expression really couldn't bear to look at it directly, and Guo Jia was not interested in it at all, and immediately replied: "I'll forget it, what about you, uncle?" Chen Zhi saw that Guo Jia meant to frame himself, where could Guo Jia succeed, and immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Chen Zhi is not so glamorous, the two adults are fine." ”

Guan Chun and Geng Wu saw that these two were not interested, and naturally they couldn't enjoy themselves, so they said to Zhang Gu: "Then take us up." Who knew that Zhang Gu said with a sad face: "I'm afraid that the listening flute pavilion used by the two adults daily is not good, someone has wrapped it up today, can you change to a private room?" Guan Chun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said with some displeasure: "Who has such pomp and circumstance and wants us to avoid it?" ”

Guan Chun's attitude is also very natural. He and Geng Wu are separate from each other, except for Han Fu in this huge Jizhou, they can still be regarded as the most powerful figures. In the past, the private room was the most occupied by people, and they had to be afraid of the power concession between the two, but now Zhang Gu actually asked them to change the private room. And it was in front of Guo Jia and Chen Zhi, who were Xu Ji's envoys, this was really the first time, so Guan Chun was extremely angry.

But Zhang Gu stole a glance at Guo Jia before replying: "Don't be angry, the two adults, this person is not from Yecheng, and he is also from Yecheng today." I don't know if it's normal to hear that Xiao Ge is a common place for the two adults. After hearing this, Guan Chun was even more suspicious, he turned around and glanced at Geng Wu, both of them looked inexplicable, it was hard to imagine that an outsider could call the shopkeeper of the dignified Yecheng Hero Building so jealous, so the two of them were even more curious about the identity of this outsider.

And Zhang Gu didn't mean to deliberately sell Guanzi. He leaned in and whispered: "The one who occupies and listens to Xiao Ge is the second son of Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, the Bohai Taishou Yuan Yuan. ”

"What?" Guan Chun and Geng Wu exclaimed in unison after listening to Zhang Gu's words. And Guo Jia's face showed a playful smile, the situation in Yecheng is becoming more and more interesting, Yuan Shao really can't hold it back, and now even his second son has been thrown to Yecheng, so the next thing is a lot more means and fun. But that's just for Guo Jia. But Geng Wu and Guan Chun obviously didn't think so, between Geng Wu and Geng Wu already snorted coldly, and although Guan Chun was silent, there was also a cold glint in his eyes, obviously both of them were already dissatisfied to the extreme.

Guo Jia also understood at this time that the reason why Yuan Xi was listening to Xiao Ge was not just occasional, I was afraid that it was because Zhang Gu could arrange it, even if Zhang Gu didn't know when Geng Wu and Guan Chun would come, but such a small action was enough to prove that Zhang Gu's quick wit and mind were extremely good. But Guo Jia thought of another thing. At this time, Yuan Xi definitely didn't come to Yecheng for recreation, so he must have a special purpose, so what is that purpose? And why did Yuan Xi come to Yecheng and not go elsewhere, but to come to the Hero Tower?

Thinking about it like this, Guo Jia immediately understood that Zhang Gu was intent on provoking the contradiction between Yuan Xi and Geng Wu Guan Chun, but Zhang Gu himself probably did not know Yuan Xi's purpose. This trick is just a contingency measure. And as the head of Xu Ji's spies in Jizhou, Zhang Gu naturally knows the attitude of Geng Wu and Guan Chun towards Yuan Shao, and now that he can provoke the relationship between the two sides, why not Zhang Gu? And now Guo Jia's purpose in Yecheng is also to prevent Yuan Shao from intervening. Zhang Gu's actions are undoubtedly of great benefit to Guo Jia's actions, and Guo Jia can't help but be even more optimistic about Zhang Gu when he thinks about it. Although this kid is lame due to injuries, his brain is getting better and better.

However, Guo Jia here thought about it in his heart, but Geng Wu on the other side couldn't bear it anymore and was about to have a seizure. He was originally impatient and violent, but now that he was slapped in the face by Yuan Xi in front of Guo Jia, how could he bear this breath? You need to know that this is Jizhou, which is his Geng Wu's land, so Geng Wu has already stepped towards Tingxiao Pavilion. And Guo Jia can let Geng Wu solve Yuan Xi so easily? Keeping Yuan Xi for Guo Jia's follow-up action was very useful, so Guo Jia hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Why does Lord Geng need to fight for a while? Yuan Xi is just a pawn, and now the situation in Jizhou is still under control, a small private room can't spoil the overall situation, and now it's probably not necessarily a good thing to startle the snake. It's better to give it to this kid, Guan Daren thinks what Feng Xiao said makes sense? Guan Chun is still very calm, at least he is not as violent as Geng Wu, and he also smiled at the moment: "What Feng Xiao said is very true, Geng Wu, you and I should focus on the overall situation!" ”

Where did Geng Wu think of Guo Jia's good temper, originally he was worried about Guo Jia's loss of face, but now Guo Jia doesn't care very much, and as Guan Chun said, the overall situation is important, so he had to force himself to press the anger in his heart and go aside. At this time, Guo Jia turned to look at Zhang Gu and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhang, do you know why this second son of Yuan came to Yecheng?" ”

Guan Chun couldn't help but admire Guo Jia even more when he heard this, to say that Yuan Xi is the great enemy of Guo Jia's lord Xu Ji, and he is an enemy who has been contradictory since Luoyang until today, and now he can indifferently ask about his intentions in the face of Guo Jia, the son of the enemy, and this kind of strength and brain really live up to Xu Ji's trust. And Guan Chun also remembered that Guo Jia seemed to have a reputation for a long time, and the Yingchuan ghost who was called a prodigy at a young age should be this one, and it is not difficult to confirm Guo Jia's identity when he contacted Xu Ji from Yingchuan.

Zhang Gu's original intention was to provoke a dispute between the two sides. But now, it seems that his own military advisor sacrificial wine seems to have other plans, so he simply stopped mentioning the words that he was originally prepared to sow discord and said: "A few days ago, there were rumors that Yuan Shao intended to marry the Zhen family, and this Yuan Xi probably came for this. ”

Geng Wu, who was standing on the side, sneered and looked back at Guan Chun. Guo Jia looked back and saw the two of them looking at each other and sneering, obviously dissatisfaction with Yuan Xi had risen to a state of hatred. Geng Wu said in a calm tone: "Yuan Shao intends to marry the Zhen family? It's a fool's dream. The people who want to be on the Zhen family don't know how much, among them there are princes and princesses, but the most disappointed ones are disappointed, why should little Yuan Xi ask for it? It's delusional! ”

But Guan Chun had to think more, he said: "Yuan Xi must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise Yuan Shao can use the power of the Zhen family to influence the whole of Jizhou!" ”

Guo Jia didn't understand at all, as a native of Yingchuan, Guo Jia really didn't know much about Jizhou, so he couldn't understand why these two high-ranking officials in Jizhou would be so gaffe for a Zhen. So Guo Jia turned to Zhang Gu and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhang." What is the origin of this Zhen's? ”

Zhang Gu's face changed slightly, and he explained to Guo Jia in a low voice: "Mr. Guo is not a local person, naturally I don't know much, this Zhen family is a famous family in Jizhou Wuji, his ancestor Zhen Han once served as a Taibao in the court, and her father Zhen Yi was appointed Cai Ling, and the official was 2,000 stones. ”

Guo Jia nodded, indicating that he had heard the names of these two people.

Zhang Gu saw Guo Jia nodding and said: "But the reason why Zhen is so special is because of his young daughter, this girl's name is Zhen Mi, but the origin of this daughter is not simple, her mother Zhang had dreamed of the sister of the sage Fuxi before giving birth to her, Luo Shen into the belly......"

Guo Jia suddenly said, "I see." I think it was named Zhen Mi by the name of the god of Mi. ”

Zhang Gu nodded and said, "This name was given by her father, but in the third year after Zhen Mi was born, her father passed away. Rumor has it that her mother, who has been widowed, lives with her, oh. By the way, this Zhen Mi also has two elder brothers. ”

Guo Jia nodded, but he saw that Zhang Guyan's words were still unfinished, and he knew that there was still something to be done, otherwise why would Yuan Xi come to Yecheng at a huge risk.

At this time, Zhang Gu's eyes also showed a longing glint and said, "Seriously." If there is fate, I also hope to see this Zhen Mi! That's a strange woman. ”

Guo Jia's curiosity was completely impressed. looked at Zhang Gu, and even had a mocking look in his eyes. The implication is self-explanatory. And Zhang Gu was naturally extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Guo, don't misunderstand, I'm just a businessman, where do I dare to climb the Zhen family?" What's more, I'm afraid that my crippled body will not be able to enter the eyes of others. And Mr. Guo may not know that this Zhen Mi must have a veil to cover his face when he travels, because although he has been in Yecheng for a long time, he has never seen the true face of this Miss Zhen Mi. ”

At this time, Zhang Gu had already led the four of them to another luxuriously furnished room, and after hearing Zhang Gu's explanation, Guan Chun suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Zhen is indeed different!" When she was three or four years old, she was able to compose poems, and last year, there was a circus troupe from Shuzhong in Yecheng singing and dancing on the street, when Miss Zhen's brothers and sisters scrambled to climb up to the attic and saw the excitement of the circus in the downtown area, only she was indifferent, and when her second brother asked her why she didn't watch it with her brothers and sisters, Miss Zhen replied disdainfully: "This is not what a woman looks at." Hey! The little girl was only eight years old at the time. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, he had already become curious about this famous little girl, but it had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, it was purely an appreciation of intelligence. Or this should be the so-called sympathy, just like the relationship between him and Xu Ji.

While speaking, the group had already arrived at the luxurious private room called Dancing Shadow Pavilion, and after everyone sat down, Geng Wu was busy ordering, but Guan Chun continued to say what he had said: "This is nothing, this Miss Zhen is even more disdainful of doing flying needles, threads, embroidery, and red, and other female red, but is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Her brother was so angry that he couldn't understand what he learned from the teacher, so he always went to his sister for advice, so he was ridiculed, and her brother was so angry that he ran to his sister to mock his sister, saying that she was not a man, so why read so many books? Unexpectedly, the little girl replied, 'The wise woman who heard the ancients did not fail to learn from the successes and failures of her previous lives, and regarded them as her own commandments. I don't know the book. Why? 'Such a strange woman is truly amazing! ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "It's really a rare strange woman!" ”

At this time, Guo Jia remembered Cai Yan, who was now in Xu Ji's mansion, and was also a woman. But Cai Yan's talent is what he has really seen, and Guo Jia is not sure that he can beat Cai Yan. Of course, Guo Jia didn't dare to provoke that young lady at all. This is also why he is willing to stay in Yu County instead of going to Chenliu County with Xu Ji, Guo Jia definitely does not want to be stumped by a girl, so he resolutely chose to abandon Xu Ji, after all, this is the trouble caused by his best friend, and he Guo Jia is not interested in cleaning up the mess for him.

But obviously, now that I compare it, Cai Yong's daughter may have a good opponent? But anyway, this Zhen Mi is only ten years old this year. Although Guo Jia was curious, he didn't care much, after all, the lessons of the past have not gone far, and Xu Ji's lessons are reminding Guo Jia from time to time.

Guan Chun saw that Guo Jia wanted to be fascinated. thought that Guo Jia was also very interested in Zhen Mi, so he said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiaodon't think that this Zhen Mi is only ten years old and is a child, but this girl is recognized as the first beauty in my Yecheng, it is really not too much to say that she is the reincarnation of Luoshen. ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "Didn't the shopkeeper Zhang say that this Zhen Mi must be covered with a veil when he travels?" Why have so many people seen the real thing? Guan Chun smiled when he heard this: "It's just a joke of the shopkeeper, if we haven't seen our true faces, how dare we say that we are the first beauty in Yecheng?" Guo Jia realized that Zhang Gu deliberately said this in order to get out, and immediately pretended to be angry and said: "Shopkeeper Zhang really doesn't say anything, so he has to deceive me?" ”

Geng Wu, who was playing with talents, also sneered at this time: "That's why I said that Yuan Xi is a toad and wants to eat swan meat!" Just this young age does not allow Xu Mei's talent and ambition to be comparable to Yuan Xi and others. What's more, I see a peerless face that I still pity."

When Guo Jia heard this, he remembered Yuan Xi's matter, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, according to the information Xu Ji had collected before, this Yuan Xi was not good at dancing and writing. At best, she is just a martial artist, how could such a vulgar person be interested in a talented woman like Zhen Mi? Also, how did this Yuan Xi know that Zhen Mi would definitely appear in the Hero Building today?

Obviously, Yuan Xi has a crush on Zhen Mi alone.

But Guo Jia didn't show the slightest flaw, but smiled: "My fair lady." The gentleman is good, the so-called love of beauty. Everyone has it, and there's nothing strange about that. ”

Guan Chun sneered. The words were full of disdain: "I don't think Yuan Xizhi is here, who doesn't know that the Zhen family is the number one family in Jizhou?" Even the Xin family is stunned."

Geng Wu saw Guo Jia's blank face and explained to Guo Jia: "The Zhen family was an official in Jizhou during the era, although there are no too decent characters among the men of this generation, but their influence in Jizhou officialdom is still extraordinary. In my Jizhou is the richest man, my Jizhou's grain production is controlled by the Zhen family, the Zhen family wants to set the price of grain high, others dare not have any objections, Jizhou's other transactions such as: weapons, horses, silk, cloth, fishing salt, all of which occupy a pivotal position, it can really be said that 'Zhen is angry and Jizhou is afraid'. ”

Guan Chun said: "What's more important is that the current controller of the Zhen family is Zhen Mi's mother Zhang, in other words, if anyone can marry Zhen Mi into their hands, it will be like getting the support of the entire Zhen family." ”

Guo Jia changed the confusion she had deliberately pretended to be before, and said with a smile: "I'm just extremely curious about this matter, why does her mother Zhang love Zhen Mi so much, it seems that it is difficult to justify it with a dream alone, right?" ”

Guan Chun patted his head as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about it, this matter has a great deal to do with my Yecheng great minister Liu Liang." But it was said that when Zhen Mi was just born, Mr. Liu Liang went to visit him uninvited, and told Zhen Mi's father that she was the reincarnation of Luoshen, and her life was unspeakably noble, and she would be the queen of a country in the future. ”

Guo Jia suddenly realized that if this Zhen Mi married someone, it was equivalent to saying that that person could become a big treasure and rank in the ninety-five in the future, and he could get the full support of the Zhen family, which was of extraordinary significance.

In this way, this Yuan Xi's intention to come to Yecheng can be said to be well known to passers-by. But at the same time, Guo Jia also felt a chill in his heart, this Zhen Mi's so-called destiny seems to have been accepted by Jizhou. In this way, it is inevitable that some people will use this as an excuse, if Xu Ji also faces such a situation in the future, how should this Zhen Mi be handled?

Thinking of this, Guo Jia once again firmly undermined Yuan Shao's intention to marry Zhen, Zhen Mi's so-called destiny may be a hindrance to Xu Ji's future path, even if Xu Ji is unwilling to marry again because of Yining, he must not give it to others, otherwise this will definitely become a weakness for others. Although Xu Ji has no intention of becoming emperor now, Guo Jia must take precautions, and this is what the strategists need to do. (To be continued......)
