Chapter 372: Don’t be too arrogant in life and work, be careful of getting a steel knife in the back
The wedding of Guo Jia and the second daughter of the Zhen family is in full swing...
During the wedding…
Zhen Luo is always by Yi Xiaotian's side, and she sometimes holds Yi Xiaotian's arm;
Sometimes her whole body leans towards him, and it seems that the second sister's belonging has given Zhen Luo great encouragement, making her more and more daring to pursue her own happiness.
Of course, the wedding was not all smooth sailing...
According to the rules of the Zhen family, the son-in-law enjoys the same treatment as his own son, but he also has to pass several hurdles at the wedding. It is considered a ceremony to prove that the person who enters the Zhen family is a talented person!
And precisely among these rules, some of the tests were not passed by the husband-in-law himself, but with the help of the husband-in-law's brothers and friends.
Originally, this was just a process.
But this time, for some reasons, it seemed crucial.
…
"Master Guo..."
In front of Zhen Tuo's boudoir, Zhen Yan, the second son of the Zhen family, spoke with a serious tone and a meticulous tone.
"There are still three hurdles before Mr. Guo enters this boudoir and marries into our Zhen family. If you pass these three hurdles, you will become a member of our Zhen family. I will treat you as my own brother, but you can't get through... The ancestors of the Zhen family can't.
There is a rule that no girl from the Zhen family will marry a mediocre person!"
Zhen Yan said it was serious, but in fact it was just a wedding...
This custom was very common in ancient times…
Of course, it's not as serious as they say. Most of them are just a little fussing, some problems arise, everyone is so happy, and the marriage goes on normally.
But...this time is different. Zhen Yan is the second son of the Zhen family, because the eldest son of Zhen died young.
He is the first heir to the Zhen family. He has a good relationship with Xu You's nephew Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan has always been thinking about the second girl of the Zhen family...
What's more, in the Battle of Guandu, Xu You helped Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao. Now the Xu family's status has risen and become arrogant...
It seems that it has suddenly become the most famous family in Hebei.
Considering the overall situation of the Zhen family, Zhen Yan is also more willing to marry with the Xu family.
However, he was very resourceful and showed no resistance to Guo Jia on the surface. He just secretly planned to use the marriage to create some obstacles so that Guo Jia would not be able to step down and retreat.
"Since it is a rule passed down by the ancestors of the Zhen family, second brother, just set the questions and I, Guo Jia, will pass them one by one!"
Guo Jia bowed his hands and looked very confident.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Zhen Yan laughed loudly. "I've heard for a long time that Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are talented people in Yingchuan and are extremely resourceful. However, our Zhen family's exam questions are not just about your talents and knowledge. This time, they are about your popularity and vision."
, among all the people present, you choose one, and I will set up three difficulties here. If he passes the test, you will be considered to have passed it!"
Speaking of this, Zhen Yan was still smiling, but the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, which was meaningful.
Yi Xiaotian has already felt that something is wrong with the atmosphere of this wedding.
"Second brother...it's just a formality. Just ask the questions casually. Is it possible that second brother really wants to fail the exam?"
Zhen Yao, the third son of the Zhen family, smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air and immediately felt unjust for Guo Jiaming...
"How can you be casual?" Zhen Yan's tone became more serious. "How can we easily change the rules passed down by our Zhen family for so many years? The Zhen family's adopted son-in-law enjoys the same treatment as his biological son, but he must also
Passed several levels in succession! Could it be that the third brother means that any mediocre person can marry a girl from our Zhen family?"
not good…
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, and Yi Xiaotian muttered secretly in his heart.
Zhen Luo on the side seemed to be about to stand up and defend Guo Jia, but Yi Xiaotian stopped him.
His eyes narrowed slightly, "Luo'er, don't panic, let's take a look at these three difficulties!"
Huh...you breath softly.
Zhen Luo bit her lip and took a step back. Her heart was throbbing. The second brother was too strong.
"Second brother...you..."
Sure enough, the third son Zhen Yao was still dissatisfied. He turned his head and looked at their father, Zhen Yi, the patriarch of the Zhen family... "Dad, the second brother..."
The words have not yet been spoken…
Ha ha ha ha…
A hearty laugh rang out, and the sound of "tap, tap, tap" footsteps came, and a man in his forties was seen walking over with a young man in his twenties.
As he walked, he did not forget to shout loudly. "There are state laws and family rules. How can the rules passed down by the ancestors of the Zhen family be easily changed? Mr. Guo passed the test if he had the ability and won the beauty back, but if he didn't...then...
Just get out of here and let someone with talent join Zhen's family!"
Everyone looked back...
The speaker is not Xu You, who has been in the limelight recently, who else could it be?
The 20-year-old young master next to him is named Xu Yuan. He is his nephew. He has been enamored with Zhen Tuo, the second daughter of the Zhen family, for a long time. Now, relying on his uncle's power, he is openly planning to steal the bride!
this…
Yi Xiaotian frowned slightly. From Zhen Yi's complicated expression, Zhen Yan's grinning face, and Zhen Yao's helpless affection, he finally understood the relationship between them.
Dare to be honest, the Xu family, who were in their prime, got involved. Not only did they get involved, they also planned to disrupt the marriage.
The patriarch of the Zhen family, Zhen Yao, and Zhen Luo's father, Zhen Yi, are obviously under great pressure. It's no wonder that he is silent at the moment.
Huh... Yi Xiaotian breathed out softly.
"Sir..." Zhen Luo looked a little anxious. "Second brother...Second brother is clearly trying to disrupt the marriage between the second sister and Mr. Guo. Sir, what...what should we do?"
"Don't panic..." Yi Xiaotian's mind was racing. He thought for a moment and then patted his chest. "Where is I? Don't the Zhen family need someone to complete the exam questions on behalf of Brother Guo? No, I am still here to take care of you.
The marriage between the second sister and Brother Guo is safe!"
As he spoke, Yi Xiaotian took a step forward...
He said loudly, "Brother Guo...the soldiers are coming to cover up the water and earth. Since the Zhen family has this rule, how can we not fight?"
Seeing Yi Xiaotian standing up, Guo Jia's originally uneasy mood suddenly calmed down.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Guo Jia laughed, and immediately untied the wine gourd from his waist and threw it to Yi Xiaotian. "Brother Yi, whether I can carry the beauty back this time depends on whether Brother Yi is willing to help!"
seem…
The appearance of Yi Xiaotian made Guo Jia suddenly become more confident.
This marriage was originally caused by Brother Yi. At this moment, it is a blessing for Brother Yi to end it successfully.
call…
Yi Xiaotian's appearance surprised many people, especially Xu You's uncle and nephew.
Nowadays, the Xu family is very arrogant in Jizhou. Even in military meetings or banquets held by Cao Cao, Xu You always calls Cao Cao by his nickname regardless of the occasion - "Aha, without me, you would
You can’t win Jizhou!”
Even when Cao Cao entered Yecheng for the first time, Xu You shouted from the tower - "Ah Hao, if it weren't for me, Xu You, would you be able to enter the gate of Yecheng?"
Cao Cao's answer was also very polite, "Without sir, I really can't enter the gate of Yecheng! Hahaha..."
Because of this conversation, Xu You almost walked around Yecheng. He said to everyone he met, it's okay for me to call Cao Cao by his nickname. How dare you offend me?
For this reason, no one in Yecheng dared to offend Xu You or the Xu family.
Some merchants even knew that Xu You was greedy for money and profit, so in order not to be missed by Xu You, they obediently paid filial piety to avoid offending him.
But...this time, there was someone who dared to openly stand against the Xu family, but the person was still a young company man in his twenties. Xu You raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at Yi Xiaotian.
"Young man, I advise you not to get into this muddy water!"
Well…
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "Sorry, what I am best at is making muddy water clear..."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian had already walked to the boudoir of the second daughter of the Zhen family with the wine gourd in hand, as if he was about to be tested!
"Hmph..." Xu You snorted coldly. "I think you are ignorant!"
"Mr. Xu!" Faced with Xu You's harsh words, Yi Xiaotian remained unmoved at all. He was always smiling, and his smile was very bright. "I would also like to advise you - don't be too arrogant in your behavior, and be careful behind your back.
