Chapter 50: A drunk party
Piao Tianwen Someone secretly spread rumors, Guo Jia does not intend to deal with this matter with great fanfare. If Guo Jiayue pays attention to this matter and puts it online to deal with it, it will cause greater trouble.
Because this will give outsiders the illusion of wanting to stamp a mud stamp.
The easiest way to calm this matter is to do nothing. As long as Guo Jia returns to Chengdu and lives as usual, he just pretends that he has never heard of it, the rumors will be self-defeating.
No one will talk about such taboo topics when they are idle.
Guo Xiu is an official of the Censorate. He has the power to supervise but does not have the power to deal with it. Therefore, he asked Guo Jia what to do next. The people behind the scenes have found out that the crime of slandering is big or small, and it can even be described as false. However, the monarch's punishment of his subordinates with such a crime will not cause too much criticism.
"Lord, then how should this person be dealt with?"
Guo Jia closed his eyes and thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Let's just pretend that this hasn't happened."
Guo Xiu nodded and stepped down. Guo Jia said this and was the final conclusion. He was the executor and did not have to die. He would do whatever Guo Jia said.
Guo Jia, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said to himself: "I owe it first, I will pay it back one day."
It was getting late, and Guo Jia walked back to the mansion. In the backyard of the mansion, his wives, concubines and children were waiting for him. They gathered together, and everyone was talking and laughing.
After Guo Jia walked in, he looked at everyone with a smile and found that there were fewer people.
His wife Zhen Jiang is not here.
The youngest son Guo Yu was held in Guo Jia's arms. Guo Jia lowered his head and asked him: "What have you learned these days?"
Guo Yu raised his face and thought for a while and said, "There are some books in Dad's study, and the children like them very much, but the books written by Dad are all fake. The iron birds flying in the sky, the iron carts that can run by themselves on the ground, and the treasures that transmit messages from thousands of miles away. Mom said that they were all made up by Dad."
Guo Jia laughed and looked at Da Qiao with an awkward expression and said, "So I am a liar in your heart?"
Da Qiao covered her mouth and smiled, shook her head without saying a word.
Since Guo Jia was a child, he wrote about things from later generations when he had time. This is really not a random fabrication, but just an existence beyond the times.
But children like this kind of fantasy and fantasy. After Guo Yu recognized his words, he spent his days reading books like this in Guo Jia's study. Now he is almost fascinated and thinks about finding the novel things that Guo Jia wrote in the books all day long.
Xiao Qiao looked at Guo Yu lovingly and smiled at Guo Jia: "Yu'er said that he would go to take a horse and don't master if he grows up. Her sister said that he wanted to secretly run out of his house last month. He didn't even recognize the way to Hanzhong, so he just wanted to find a horse and don't master. It was ridiculous."
Guo Jia was stunned. It is best to study in this era, followed by martial arts, and then to the back. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are ranked, and it is a good thing to learn a skill, but the social status is not high. Ma Jun’s current glory is given by Guo Jia. Only in Guo Jia can Ma Jun have such a high status.
However, in common sense, if Guo Jia's subordinates really have the ability to create technology, it is undoubtedly Ma Jun. Whether it is military or civilian, war equipment, or farming equipment, there are Ma Jun's ingenuity.
Da Qiao looked at Guo Jia with a worried look on his face, afraid that Guo Jia would be angry. He had never heard of a wealthy and noble child running to learn craftsmanship from others.
But Guo Jia laughed and pinched Guo Yu's face. He said, "Okay! Yu'er wants to learn, then in two years, I will let Deheng teach you personally."
The family was stunned. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia actually allowed his children to learn craftsmanship. This was a disgrace to the family tradition in bad terms.
Guo Yu had no distracting thoughts in his mind at this moment, and was attracted by the things he liked. When he heard Guo Jia nodding and agreeing, he immediately looked up excitedly and asked, "Dad, don't you drive a horse? Does he have the iron birds that can fly and the iron carts that can run by himself in the book?"
"When you see him, ask him yourself. Haha."
Guo Jia hugged Guo Yu very happily.
He knew that what really drives the progress of the times is technological productivity, and it is a good thing that Guo Yu is willing to study these things. He cannot be blocked by his professional status. Especially for children, who have infinite imagination and are better at discovering and creating than those adults who accept reality that have been smoothed out their dreams.
After laughing, Guo Jia asked Guo Jin in confusion: "Where is your mother? Are you feeling unwell?"
When I entered the house, I didn't see Zhen Jiang. I thought I had something to delay in the backyard, but it had been a long time since she came out, and Guo Jia couldn't help but worry.
Guo Jin lowered his head with little confidence and said, "Mom has returned to the Zhen family."
Go back to her parents' home?
It seems that the rumors made Zhen Jiang angry.
Guo Jia sighed softly, he could understand the bitterness in Zhen Jiang's heart.
The couple lived a good life, but outsiders slandered her parents' family and had bad intentions. They not only wanted to seize the family business, but also harmed her husband. Anyone would feel wronged and bitter.
Putting Guo Yu down, Guo Jia stood up and said, "I'll go to Zhen's house to invite her back. You can have dinner first, don't wait for me."
Everyone also understood that because they knew Guo Jia, no one was in panic from the day Zhen Jiang returned to her parents' home. When Guo Jia came back, it would naturally be properly resolved.
The guards carried lanterns to lead the way. Guo Jia soon came outside the Zhen Mansion's house. The door of the mansion was closed and ordered people to go up and call the door. Guo Jia was waiting outside.
After the servant informed him, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao quickly opened the door of the mansion to greet him.
Why did Guo Jia come to visit at night? The two brothers of the Zhen family are tacitly aware of it.
Zhen Yan said to Guo Jia with an awkward look: "This, lord, has caused trouble for you."
Guo Jia waved his hand and walked inward, and smiled in reverse and said, "It's my family matter that has caused trouble for you."
Zhen Yao looked good, and Guo Jia's actions outside the city in the afternoon allowed him to relieve his doubts.
"Lord, why don't you have a meal in the mansion?"
When Guo Jia heard this, he turned his head and smiled, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet."
Zhen Yao immediately ordered people to prepare food and drinks. As soon as the three of them walked into the main hall, they heard a burst of rapid footsteps. Guo Jia turned his head and looked from the corridor. Zhen Jiang came hurriedly, with a haggard face, and his expression was a bit aggrieved and surprised.
In front of the two brothers of the Zhen family, Guo Jia could not flirt with the same kind as he did twenty years ago, so he spread his hands helplessly and said, "Hey, if someone digs a hole, you will jump in. What else can you not think about when you have a husband and wife relationship for so many years? Hiding back to your parents' home makes people think you have a ghost in your heart."
Zhen Jiangting walked to Guo Jia with grievance, holding back tears, and said softly: "I should avoid suspicion, right? Outsiders say that my family wants to harm my husband, so what kind of face do I have to stay in the Guo family?"
Guo Jia reached out and picked up the handkerchief from her hand to wipe the corners of her wet eyes, and asked, "Then are you planning to live in your parents' home for the rest of your life?"
"ah?"
Zhen Jiang was stunned. It was her expectation that Guo Jia came to find her, but now Guo Jia's intention seemed to be either here to invite her or asking her what she meant. If she really didn't go home, she would stay in her parents' home for the rest of her life.
Seeing the anxious look on her face, Guo Jia patted her face and chuckled.
"Okay, have a meal here and go home together tonight."
Zhen Jiang glared at Guo Jia with lingering fear. If Guo Jia really lets her live in her parents' home, she will not know how she will live in the future.
The two brothers Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao had already entered the house. The servants brought the wine and food one by one. Guo Jia walked into the hall with Zhen Jiang and sat in the mat. Seeing that the three of them didn't move their chopsticks, Guo Jia asked while eating, "You have all had supper, right?"
The two brothers nodded, and Zhen Jiang served Guo Jia aside, picking up food and pouring wine meticulously.
When they were drinking, chatting, talking about trivial matters about family matters, Guo Jia and Zhen Yan opened their hearts to talk about their thoughts, including how he was worried about Guo Ye's life and death in Chang'an. Thinking of his mood at that time, Guo Jia poured wine into his stomach. Zhen Jiang, who was beside him, suddenly turned his eyes and became thoughtful.
"Why are you standing there? Pour wine."
Guo Jia touched Zhen Jiang with her elbow. She came to her senses and quickly filled the wine glass for Guo Jia. Guo Jia ignored her and continued to turn her head and reveal her feelings to Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao.
"Oh, I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat. I didn't close my eyes for three days. I didn't even have the heart to work during the day. For a moment, I regretted letting Ye'er join the army. But after thinking about it, maybe this is fate. I have been walking around the gate of hell once or twice before. Ye'er is my son. He almost disappeared before he was born. Maybe he was destined to have a bumpy journey. It's all a cliché. As a parent, who can watch the child in danger with a calm attitude?"
Guo Jia drank glass by cup, and Zhen Yao and Zhen Yan accompanied him to drink.
"Luckily, Mr. Ye is lucky and has a great life. Lord. In fact, let Mr. Ye join the army. Does the lord expect him to really step up in the military camp? According to my opinion, Mr. Ye can understand the cruelty of marching and fighting with his own hands. It is already commendable. With a little experience, he cannot focus on killing the enemy wholeheartedly. The subordinates can see that Mr. Ye is a great cause."
Zhen Yao's words were unscrupulous, but in fact, it was a taboo to say these words in front of Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was drunk and felt a little depressed. His son almost died. He did not show a worried look on his face, but his heart was always up and down. Now, when he turned around and thought about it, he was still scared.
The cup was empty, Zhen Jiang continued to pour him wine, but Guo Jia waved: "I can't drink it anymore, I'm already a little dizzy now."
Zhen Jiang blocked Guo Jia's hand and poured him wine. He smiled and said, "You are rare to come to the Zhen family. How can you not have fun? Look, the second and third brothers are not drunk."
Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao looked at each other, not knowing what Zhen Jiang meant. Guo Jia drank quickly and quickly. The two of them drank less than half of Guo Jia's amount. Of course, Guo Jia was drunk faster.
"Oh well."
