Chapter 83: Guo Jia VS Jia Xu
After getting Yuan Shang's instructions, early the next morning, Guo Jia took a car to Jiafu, planning to meet this famous man for a while.
After arriving outside Jia's mansion, Guo Jia handed the name thorn to the porter: "Guo Jia, who is in the next book, came to visit Guangluxun." ”
"The master book?"
The porter was a middle-aged man with a somewhat mean appearance, and after hearing Guo Jia's official position, he immediately showed contempt on his face, and directly threw the famous thorn back: "I'm sorry, my master is not a guest today." ”
These days, it's all big shots.
Either in an important position, or from a famous family.
A small master dares to visit the door, and he doesn't even give him a little benefit, and he still wants him to report it?
Dream on!
Guo Jia looked at the famous thorn that was thrown back, and couldn't help frowning, feeling a little headache.
Today, he came to visit only in his personal name, and did not hang the name of Yuan Shang; A small master book visits Guang Luxun, and it is no wonder that he will be looked down upon by the porter.
"Sure enough, Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult." Guo Jia shook his head, but at this time, a voice suddenly came.
"Master Guo?"
The tone was slightly surprised.
Guo Jia turned to look, and then saw Jia Xu, who was slightly rich and had two beards, coming out, looking at him with some doubtful eyes.
Guo Jia immediately saluted and said, "I've seen Guangluxun." ”
Jia Xu was about to go out to walk around the other strategists' mansions, but he didn't expect to meet Guo Jia at the door, and he was surprised and a little surprised.
He had been waiting for the young man to come and visit.
After all, there are so many strategists, except for Xu You, who is friends with Yuan Shao, Guo Jia did not come.
Jia Xu smiled and stepped forward and said, "Master Guo doesn't need to be polite, why don't you stand outside the mansion and come in and sit down?" ”
Guo Jia smiled and said, "I was about to visit, but I heard from the porter that Guangluxun didn't see a guest today, so I was going to come back another day." ”
"Oh?"
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at the porter who was already pale and trembling.
Without saying a word, he slapped him hard!
Although Jia Xu is a scribe, he has a lot of strength, and a slap directly swollen the porter's face.
"What is not long-sighted, dare to make its own decisions for me?"
Jia Xu's face was angry, and his voice was even more calm.
He has always believed that he is not easy to make enemies and grudges with others, and he is exquisite, but this porter is unauthorized to turn away guests!
Even if this is the concierge sent by Yuan Shao, he has to find a way to replace it.
"My lord spares his life! Spare your life! ”
The porter kowtowed like pounding garlic, and blood soon came out of his forehead.
"Get out!"
Jia Xu kicked him away, then looked at Guo Jia, and said with a pleasant face: "The subordinate is shallow, let Master Guo smile, please come into the house and sit down." ”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
So he entered the house with Jia Xu.
When he came to the main hall, Jia Xu personally served Guo Jia good tea and asked the housekeeper to prepare lunch.
"Master Guo must leave a meal today, so that I can teach me to make amends for the rudeness of my subordinates." Jia Xu said apologetically that he didn't look down on Guo Jia at all because of his identity.
Guo Jia smiled faintly: "Guangluxun's words are serious, it's just a trivial matter that doesn't hurt, so why worry about it." ”
Jia Xu has been observing Guo Jia's demeanor, and found that he behaved naturally, without any restraint or anger because he was humiliated by the porter, and he was always calm and light-hearted, and he couldn't help but evaluate him a little higher in his heart.
Advance and retreat in a good manner, neither humble nor arrogant, is a talent.
After praising it in his heart, Jia Xu continued to ask: "Master Guo is visiting today, what is the matter?" ”
Guo Jia didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Don't hide it from Guangluxun, Xia Guan came to visit for the third prince today." ”
"The third prince often hears the name of Guanglu Xun and admires it for a long time, but he has been really busy with affairs recently and can't take a break, so he ordered the lower officials to come to visit on his behalf and send a small gift to celebrate Guangluxun's housewarming."
Guo Jia said and took out a gift slip from his arms.
Jia Xu glanced at it, this was a generous gift no less than the one given by Yuan Xi.
"The two hairy boys of the Yuan family are really ......"
Holding this gift list, Jia Xu was a little irritable, he really didn't want to get involved in these things fighting for the family business.
Several brothers are fighting back and forth, and if they get involved, they may be swept to death if they are not careful.
This is inconsistent with his usual life credo.
So he bluntly said to Guo Jia: "I can accept the gift, but I will forgive me for refusing." I don't plan to get involved in the affairs between the two sons, and I won't accept solicitations from either of them. ”
"The lower official will definitely tell the third prince truthfully." Guo Jia nodded, and agreed without saying a word.
As a strategist who has just arrived, he does not help Yuan Shao with advice, but he is impatient to participate in the battle of other people's sons, this is not wisdom.
Guo Jia's straightforward attitude made Jia Xu a little unexpected, and he looked at Guo Jia with some astonishment: "Didn't Master Guo come to be a lobbyist for the third prince?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Do everything according to your ability, if Guangluxun doesn't want to accept the invitation of the son, how can he persuade him to move if he is in an official position?" ”
"If you persuade you, you will also bring humiliation on yourself, and you will be disgusted by Guangluxun, and in the end, if you can't eat a bite of food, you will be kicked out of the door."
Jia Xu laughed when he heard this: "Master Guo is really an interesting person! With that alone, I will be entertained for this lunch today. ”
People who can talk are always liked. Chatting with Guo Jia made Jia Xu find it very interesting.
"However, I don't know anything, and I hope Master Guo can solve my doubts."
Guo Jia said: "Guangluxun, please speak." ”
Jia Xu said: "I look at the words and deeds of filial piety, but I am not a layman, why have I been obscure under the command of the general?" Why do you want to help the third son? Could it be that the third prince has any outstanding talent that makes Feng Xiao willing to be convinced? ”
There is a commonality between smart people and smart people.
Just a few words of conversation, you can judge the level of the other party, in Jia Xu's eyes, Guo Jia is a smart person.
So he was curious why such a person didn't emerge, and why he would help a child like Yuan Shang.
This time, he did not call Guo Jia "Guo Master Book", but called Guo Jia's character, which also means that this is his personal question, and Guo Jia can choose to answer or not answer.
Guo Jia clasped his hands on his sleeves and said with a smile: "Then sir, why did you devote yourself to the general's command?" Can a general make someone like Mr. Jia surrender? Or is it ...... What else do you have in mind? ”
The smile on Jia Xu's face slowly retracted, and he began to seriously examine the young man in front of him.
Guo Jia's expression was calm and unwavering.
"So ......"
Jia Xu sat up straight, looked at Guo Jia with deep eyes, and asked slowly, "I don't know what Feng Xiao is trying to do?" ”
"No other." Faced with Jia Xu's profound question, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Only Kuang helps the Han family and crusades against the traitor!" ”
When Jia Xu heard this, his face did not change, and his heart was turbulent.
Guo Jia's words have a double meaning.
The first is to support the Han family for the Son of Heaven and crusade against the unsubordinate princes, including Yuan Shao.
The second is to support the Han family for Yuan Shao Kuang and crusade against the princes who are enemies of Yuan Shao.
And this coincides with what Jia Xu thinks in his heart.
