Guo Jiayue watched Chen Mo skillfully mix the medicinal materials, make an ointment, carefully apply it on the little girl's wound, and bandage it very carefully.
The attentive Guo Jiayue ordered someone to find two pairs of clothes suitable for them. She had observed the clothes of the brother and sister. Although they were clean, they were extremely shabby. They looked like the clothes of refugees. They might have washed them extremely clean and they almost wear them now.
No more.
Lunch was relatively simple, and Chen Mo also refused. The Guo family did not force themselves too much. After all, everyone had traveled all day and night, and some of them had taken the exam.
In the back hall, seven people from the Guo family gathered in the back hall. Guo Shengwu didn't rest. Although he was tired, he couldn't sleep, so he had to chat with his family in the lobby.
"Dad, Mr. Chen may be from the north."
"How to say?"
"They are dressed like refugees. Didn't they say that the three border areas of Chu State were invaded by Shang State some time ago? A large number of refugees fled to the south. I wonder if these brothers and sisters escaped from there." Guo Jiayue said.
Have your own opinion.
"It seems that the family has been destroyed and people are displaced again. They are suffering from wars and wars every year." said Chen, Guo Jiayue's mother, the woman who was holding the little boy in the backyard.
"If Brother Chen really came from the north, he had to endure a lot of hardships during the journey. You must know that the local counties and cities will basically not accept the places where the refugees passed after the catastrophe, not to mention those mountains and fields.
The people here can only find their own habitat and start from scratch." Guo Shengwen said at the side.
"Not only do you have to suffer the pain of leaving your homeland, but you also have to endure hunger during this long journey. The most terrible thing is getting sick. Who knows how many people are going to die along the way."
"Uncle, it's really not easy to leave your hometown, but with Brother Chen's ability, it's not a big deal for him to endure hunger. I heard from my sister that he also has some medical skills. As long as it's not a plague or something, it's not a problem." Guo Jiawen did it all.
He looked at his younger brother and said.
"Jia Xing, look, this is the knife that the elder brother used. It was shot by that elder brother. From now on, you and I will use this knife to kill everyone. The power of the Guo family will be determined by the elder brother.
I carry it forward."
Guo Jiaxing, who was four or five years old, was drooling enviously on the side.
At this moment, a servant came to report: "Master, Mr. Sun of the Sun family is here."
When several people in the lobby heard this, except for the young Guo Jiaxing, their expressions changed subtly.
"No." Guo Jiayue refused decisively.
"Jiayue, is Sun so unhappy?" At this time, a young man with a sword on his waist came out from the side and appeared at the entrance of the lobby.
"Ah, it's a coincidence that both uncles are here." The young man looked surprised. "Uncle Shengwu, I heard that you came back safely from the escort trip this time. My father is really happy for you. He also said that the Guo family is not going to die.
Of course, from now on, the bodyguard affairs in Yangcheng will still be dominated by the Sun and Guo families."
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Sun." Guo Shengwen took over the conversation before his brother could speak. "My little girl was rude just now. I hope nephew Sun won't take offense."
"Uncle Shengwen was joking, why would my nephew blame sister Jiayue? My nephew likes her straight temper." Mr. Sun of the Sun family replied politely.
"Grand nephew, sit down."
The two women present gave up their seats, presumably to talk about something, and left with young Guo Jiaxing. When Chen left, she told her daughter not to cause trouble with her eyes.
Mr. Sun sat down next to Guo Jiayue and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. I just heard that my uncle has made another escort business, so I came here to congratulate you. Also, I just wanted to see Sister Jiayue, so I stopped by to ask.
Now, I wonder how the two uncles have considered the Sun family's suggestion?"
I'm afraid that last sentence is the real purpose of coming here.
Guo Shengwu sneered in his heart.
"Sun Yuanzhi, I will not marry you. We have made it very clear. I am already engaged. I am not afraid to tell you that I will get married next month. I hope the Sun family will come to you then."
Guo Jiayue said a word with an unhappy expression and left.
Several people with different expressions were left behind.
"Uncle Shengwen, is what sister Jiayue said true?" Sun Zhiyuan said calmly as before. He still knew that Guo Jiayue was engaged, but having an engagement did not mean that he could not marry.
It's about two families.
Guo Shengwen took a sip of tea and said with some regret: "Indeed, it's not like you don't know Jiayue's temperament. I, as a father, can't handle what she believes in."
"Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers." When Sun Zhiyuan said this, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he changed his words without leaving any trace: "I should talk to sister Jiayue, after all, this is related to the future of our family."
After saying that, Sun Zhiyuan saluted the two elders and left. From the beginning to the end, he never glanced at Jiaqi, which made Guo Jiaqi depressed.
You want to be my brother-in-law, but you still don't give me a good look. You deserve my sister's teasing with you.
Not long after Sun Zhiyuan left, a gentle young man walked in and greeted in a very polite tone: "Uncle, second uncle, Jia Qi."
"It's unfair, come and sit down." Guo Shengwen looked at this young man and smiled happily.
The young man named Buping thanked him and sat down.
"Uncle, if you are in trouble, I can cancel my engagement with Jiayue."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jiawen's displeased voice came: "Qu Buping, do you know what you are talking about? My sister has sacrificed so much for you, is it appropriate for you to say this now?"
"Jia Qi, what are you talking about? Bu Ping is also your brother, why is he neither big nor small?" Guo Shengwu shouted.
"He doesn't deserve to be my brother, huh."
Guo Jiaqi was already in a bad mood, so he snorted and left, leaving only three people in the lobby.
"Buping, do you dislike Jiayue?" The smile on Guo Shengwen's face disappeared and he said lightly.
"How could it be? Jiayue and I grew up together. Only Jiayue despises me as a poor Confucian scholar, not me. Moreover, the uncle is also a good friend of my father. After my father died, my mother and I have always been under the influence of Guo
We, the Qu family, only owe the Guo family for their care."
"You've said so, so why are you still thinking about canceling the engagement?" Guo Shengwu asked at the side.
"Because of the Sun family?" Guo Shengwen on the other side asked.
Qu Buping nodded and said, "I don't want the escort agency, which has just started to improve, to face greater difficulties because of me."
"Needless to say, the Escort Agency also has your father's hard work. The Escort Agency will not fall because of you. The matter between you and Jiayue should be carried out as originally agreed. I don't believe that the Sun family can do anything to us, hum!
"
Guo Shengwen slammed the table hard.
the other side.
Guo Jiayue left the lobby angrily and walked toward the backyard. Soon after, Sun Zhiyuan chased him out.
The two of them walked under the eaves.
"Guo Jiayue, our union is good for both our families. As long as we get married, the problems your family has encountered will be solved. I can do it without having to sleep with you after we get married, even if you secretly find me."
I don't mind that man either."
At this time, Sun Zhiyuan no longer had the elegant conversation in the lobby.
Guo Jiayue stamped her feet, turned around and wanted to slap the man, but thinking of the relationship between the two families, she lowered her raised palm.
"Shameless person."
"I am helping your Guo family, why am I so shameless?" Sun Zhiyuan showed an innocent smile.
Seeing his disgusting smile, Guo Jiayue was about to scold the guy with a human face and an animal heart. She happened to see Chen Mo appearing in the aisle. She immediately suppressed the anger in her heart and shouted to Chen Mo softly: "Mr. Chen, where are you going?
?"
"She's awake and wants to eat hot porridge."
Chen Mo glanced at the man.
"I'll take you there." Guo Jiayue said.
"who is he?"
Sun Zhiyuan and Chen Mo looked at each other, not liking the cold looks in their eyes.
"A guest in our house."
Guo Jiayue said a word and was about to leave, but Sun Zhiyuan grabbed her arm and said coldly: "I'm a guest from the country. Just let my servants entertain me. We haven't finished talking yet."
"Let go."
Guo Jiayue's tone was also not good.
When the two were in a stalemate, Chen Mo walked up and without saying anything, he grabbed the man's arm and said lightly: "How about we go together?"
Sun Zhiyuan was about to scold this man if there was something wrong with his brain, when he suddenly felt pain in his arm, which was so painful that he almost screamed. His palm couldn't help but loosen his grip on Guo Jiayue.
For a moment, the boy's hand relaxed, and he felt relieved.
Chen Mo ignored the man's expression. Finding food was what he was thinking about now.
Chen Mo and Guo Jiayue quickly disappeared from Sun Zhiyuan's sight.
"Where did you come from?" Sun Zhiyuan rubbed his sore arm and snorted coldly: "Guo Jiayue, don't think you can escape from my grasp. When the time comes, you fall on my bed. I, Sun Zhiyuan, will let you know what will happen to you."
die."
He flicked his sleeve and shook the sore hand again, but this time he did not show his teeth and grin, because a servant of the Guo family passed by not far away, and he could not lose the dignity he deserved.
On the way to the kitchen, Chen Mo suddenly said: "That hand should be beaten off."
Guo Jiayue was stunned for a moment before she realized: "Has Young Master Chen seen it?"
"Someone said, either obey or resist, don't be in the middle." Chen Mo remembered a sentence.
Guo Jiayue thought about this sentence for a moment, said nothing, and sighed secretly: That's what he said, but he didn't have the ability. There are many things in this world that have to be compromised.
"We're in the kitchen. There must be some hot porridge."
Guo Jiayue led Chen Mo to the kitchen. In fact, she could send him there, but she also had her own little idea in her heart. She wanted to use him to get rid of Sun Zhiyuan. Although the process was not what she thought, the end result was the same.
