Chapter Seven

The next morning, Zhen Yu woke up from his sleep. His servant was serving clothes and washing. He asked, "Have you two distinguished guests got up?"
The Qingyi family slave waiting beside him replied with a puzzled look: "The young master Xu Shu has already stood up and is practicing sword in the yard, and the young master Guo, Mr. Guo..."
"What should I hide it? Say it!" Zhen Yu frowned and shouted, showing an unhappy look on his face. He was also worried, afraid of neglecting Guo Jia.
The servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Please forgive me for your crime. Last night, when I was patrolling, I heard laughter from the lady's yard. Xiao was suspicious and eavesdropped outside the courtyard gate. However, I found that the person who was talking and laughing with the lady was Mr. Guo. As for how Mr. Guo entered the lady's yard, I didn't know."
Zhen Yu was stunned. Guo Jia and Zhen Jiang had a tryst in the courtyard late at night. He was confused and worried and asked sternly: "Be serious about this?"
The servant was so scared that he kowtowed quickly and said hurriedly: "It's true, every sentence is true. The little one was worried that Mr. Guo would behave badly to the lady, so he kept guarding the door. Sometimes the lady laughed in the yard, and sometimes the sound of Mr. Guo singing came. It was not until the fifth day that Mr. Guo climbed over the wall and was discharged back to the guest room. The little one was afraid of being discovered at the time, so he hid in the flowers outside the courtyard."
Zhen Yu's face slowed down, and waved his hand to get up. He walked out of the bedroom after dressing neatly. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why Guo Jia had an interaction with his eldest sister. Logically speaking, this was the first time the two met, and it was not a formal occasion. Why did they talk all night long and there were laughter and laughter?
Could it be that Guo Jia is interested in the eldest girl?
Thinking of this, Zhen Yu stopped and rubbed his hands and thought deeply.
In terms of age, Guo Jia and Zhen Jiang are not much different. Zhen Jiang is two years older than Guo Jia, but they are still young. If you really want to do it, you can make a marriage first. In terms of appearance and talent, Guo Jia is a rare talented man in the world. Her eldest sister is also a talented woman who is well-read in poetry and books, and she can be said to be a handsome man. In terms of family background, although the Zhen family is not a noble family, she is also a wealthy family, but Guo Jia is from a poor family, with a family that is not right and a family is inconsistent. This obstacle is like a gap that is insurmountable.
Zhen Yu was determined to have a relationship with Guo Jia. On the one hand, it was because he had been traveling all year round and had seen many so-called princes and nobles. There were very few people who could beat Guo Jia in terms of talent, let alone ambition and vision. On the other hand, Zhen Yu knew that his talent was mediocre, but he had been doing business all year round and had extensive knowledge. The Han Dynasty was now a sign of defeat. In the chaotic world, if there were no talent to provide advice, the prospects of the Zhen family would be dim. If Guo Jia helped him, the Zhen family would be worry-free!
But Guo Jia’s family background, family background...
Zhen Yu clapped his hands and murmured to himself as if awakened: "It is because Fengxiao came from a poor family and had no power or power. If he could be my son-in-law of Zhen's family, he would definitely help me. My father's wisdom will definitely understand my painstaking efforts!"
It was not until the afternoon when Guo Jia got up. After washing and dressing, he came to the main hall. When he saw Xu Shu and Zhen Yu drinking tea and talking, he smiled bitterly and complained to Zhen Yu, "After getting drunk last night, he became obsessed with the ghosts and entered the courtyard of Ling Mei. I hope he would forgive me."
Xu Shu looked surprised. Guo Jia did such a romantic thing last night. He immediately teased: "Yingchuan genius Guo Fengxiao is actually a romantic son. Shu is an eye-opener today. Xiao Taigong, you may have another title of disciple in the future, haha."
He glared at Xu Shu viciously. Guo Jia knew very well that although the atmosphere was still open at this time, the wealthy families valued family style and would not spare such things easily. Instead of being exposed in the future, it would be better to admit it generously.
Zhen Yu didn't expect Guo Jia to act and take responsibility, be straightforward, and he felt even more appreciative. He waved his hand and smiled and said, "A beautiful lady is a gentleman. Although my eldest sister is not considered a heavenly figure, she is also well-educated and has a good appearance. If I am filial, I will definitely meet you."
Guo Jia smiled bitterly, and Xu Shu was also stunned. After thinking about it, he guessed Zhen Yu's thoughts and sighed in his heart: As Fengxiao expected, the Zhen family already had the intention of recruiting a son-in-law, but he did not expect that it was such a heavy method of recruiting a son-in-law.
How could Guo Jia, who was active in his mind, not know what Zhen Yu meant, but could only pretend to be deaf and be dumb and talk to him.
This trip to Yecheng was not for the sake of romance, so Guo Jia and Xu Shu offered to say goodbye.
Zhen Yu asked in surprise: "Can I be negligent, why are you two in a hurry to leave?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "The Zhen family is very attentive to treat guests. However, I am traveling to Yecheng with Yuanzhi. Today I will go to the city to visit. If I have free time, I will come to Zhen's house to disturb me."
Zhen Yu knew that these two people had their own opinions, and since they had decided to leave, they must not force them to stay, so he said regretfully: "In this way, I will send you two respectfully. If you have the necessary needs, please tell me, and I will never refuse what I can do. In addition, I will return to Zhongshan Wuji soon. If you have time and invite the Zhen family to be a guest, I will sweep the bed and welcome you."
After walking out of the Zhen family's mansion, Guo Jia and Xu Shu led Ma Chaocheng Inn. On the way, Xu Shu sighed and said, "Although the Zhen family is a wealthy family in Hebei, the children in the family are of good moral character. If all the aristocratic families in the world are like this, the people will not be forced to a dead end."
Guo Jia smiled calmly and said, "The emperor has wise kings and foolish kings, the ministers have wise ministers and slandered ministers, and the people have obedient people and mobs. The identity and status do not determine their behavior. The root cause is human nature."
Xu Shu nodded and received the teachings, and a feeling of admiration arose.
When Guo Jia and Xu Shu were packing their clothes in the inn, Zhen Yu, who was studying in the pavilion in the Zhen family courtyard, looked at the eldest girl running in front of him in shock. Before he could ask, Zhen Jiang asked anxiously, "Is Guo Jia leaving?"
"I'm leaving, I left an hour ago." Zhen Yu told the truth.
Zhen Jiang was even more anxious and asked, "Why didn't the elder brother stop him?"
Zhen Yu chuckled and asked back, "Guo Jia is a distinguished guest of my Zhen family. He wants to come and welcome me. He wants to leave and I send him out. Why should I stop him? What reason do I have to force him to stay in the mansion?"
"Because, because... why did he leave like this..." Zhen Jiang's anxious expression suddenly changed, and his deep regret and loss appeared on Xiuya's face, sitting next to her brother, and then sighed, feeling depressed.
When Zhen Yu saw her appearance, he also lamented that Guo Jia was so charming, but meeting her with her eldest sister made her so worried. I think that person is so handsome, talented, and unrestrained. Why don’t women favor such a strange man?
"The water flows even more when you draw a knife and cut off the water. Raise your glass to relieve your sorrow and sorrow. Life is not satisfactory. The Ming Dynasty has a small boat. Brother, I suddenly want to escape from the world as he said." Zhen Jiang's head tilted, and a drop of tears gushed out of the corner of his eyes, and he felt very depressed.
Zhen Yu said in surprise: "Big sister, did you make this poem?"
Zhen Jiang curled his lips and said in a suffocation: "That Guo Fengxiao did, this is the whole poem."
After hearing this, Zhen Yu laughed and said, "Guo Fengxiao is truly worthy of being a genius, and he is also literary and elegant. The young man is very famous. If I were such a man, I would definitely not marry this person."
Zhen Jiang heard the big brother's implicit sound, and his face was flushed with shame, but he said in confusion: "Ghost? Little Grandpa? What are these?"
Zhen Yu deliberately cheered her up and said carelessly: "Guo Jia, didn't he tell you? He is known as a genius in Yingchuan and has the title of Little Grandpa."
"Oh, brother, stop laughing at me, tell me quickly." Zhen Jiang shook his elder brother's arm and was impatient.
Zhen Yu didn't joke anymore, and told Zhen Jiang what he knew about Guo Jia.
In a restaurant in the downtown Yecheng, Guo Jia and Xu Shu sat opposite each other by the window, looking at the officers and soldiers who were rushing to the street outside the street to carry away two bodies from the corner of the street and then hurriedly left. Guo Jia closed his eyes and sighed: "The rich people smelled of wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road."
Xu Shu also said with emotion: "If this continues, if you are hungry for thousands of miles, when will the people be able to have enough food and clothing?"
At this moment, a group of young men and men in gorgeous clothes came to the street. While throwing copper coins at the roadside, they kicked away the hungry people who ran to them to pick up copper coins. They laughed wildly all the way.
Xu Shu felt angry. He was about to get up but Guo Jia raised his hand to stop him and shook his head slightly.
After the young men left, Xu Shu couldn't bear to say, "The world was lost, and the children of aristocratic families were all more humble and gentlemen, but they did such unvirtuous and righteous things, which was really hateful."
Guo Jia sighed and said, "Yuanzhi, you are chivalrous, I understand, but why did you go to Yingchuan to study? Because you know, you can't kill all the evil people in the world alone. What you and I see today, you might as well imagine, what is the difference between the wealthy and the hungry people just now? In my opinion, these wine bags are just a good birth and born in a wealthy family. If they are ordinary people, how can they bully others with power? In their eyes, if the untouchables are born in the kings and princes, their achievements may not be under them. There is a saying that I once said to Zhicai, today, I will say this to you again."
Xu Shu was curious and said, "Please speak."
Guo Jia said lightly: "The rich families in the world are all birds of a feather, and they are full of evil and cannot be written. If this evil is not eliminated, there will be no peace in the world!"
Xu Shu was shocked and nodded heavily, but he asked, "What if you do a family like the Zhen family, which has a great family but is not evil?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Did you forget that I have said that identity and status cannot determine their behavior, and the root of it lies in human nature. People do evil, and officials will punish them. Now there is no one to restrain the evil of aristocratic families. No one can control the evil of treacherous ministers, and no one can eliminate the evil of emperors. If one day, I have the ability to eliminate the evil of the emperor, punish the evil of treacherous ministers, and punish the evil of aristocratic families, I will move forward."
"Hahahaha, little brother, you are so angry. Then I ask you, the emperor is still ignorant, the treacherous ministers are constantly in trouble with the country, and the aristocratic families are rampant. What should you do?"
There were two groups of guests on the second floor of the restaurant, one was Guo Jia and Xu Shu, while the other was three men. At this moment, the three men walked towards Guo Jia. The leader was in his 50s, with a rough appearance but a concise look. He walked towards him with nine chords in his hand, and his bright eyes were fixed on Guo Jia.
Guo Jia said in his heart: Take the bait, but he remained silent on the surface, and said lightly: "The emperor will not change, kill the monarch! The traitorous ministers will not stop harming the country, kill the ministers! The aristocratic families will continue to rampantly, and the family will be destroyed!"
All the four listeners changed their expressions. Even Xu Shu took a breath of air conditioning, and his heart was shocked!
But the middle-aged man who came to Guo Jia shook his head and sneered: "Little brother, you have a big tone. Do you know how many aristocratic families in this world? If you destroy each family, will you be killed?"
Guo Jia looked at the streets of Louwai and said, "I don't know how many aristocratic families there are in the world, and I don't know how many people there are, but I know that the number of people in the world is thousands of times more than aristocratic families. Instead of letting the aristocratic families harm the people in the world, it is better to destroy the aristocratic families. At that time, the new aristocratic families will stand out from the people. At that time, the new aristocratic rules of survival will surely come out. If those in power can see the lessons of the past, then the new aristocratic rules of survival will not give the aristocratic families the opportunity to harm the people."
"Little brother, haven't you asked Gao's name?" The middle-aged man holding the nine-legged battle asked Guo Jia respectfully.
Guo Jiasu Rong said: "Guo Jia, Yingchuan."
