[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

I deliberately got up early in the morning to find out what happened to the mysterious guest, but was caught by Doctor Hua who also woke up early in the morning to get the medicine in the backyard.

While listening to the nagging that he was used to, Guo Jia was distracted.

This doctor Hua came to the mansion a few months ago, in order to blindly buy the precious medicinal materials from his father.But because the medicinal material is too precious, even if my father wants to get it, it will take several months to find a way, so in the end, Doctor Hua simply stayed.And because of his poor health, his father simply asked Dr. Hua, who is known as a "miracle doctor", to treat him, and he paid for the medicine.

Speaking of this, does a familiar name come to mind?

No matter how bad the history of the Three Kingdoms is, Guo Jia has heard of the great name of "Hua Tuo", so before the arrival of this doctor Hua, he was looking forward to the "Golden Finger" under the blessing of fate. Unfortunately, when someone arrives, Guo Jia dispelled that guess in minutes.

There is a huge gap between the handsome man in front of him and the old man with fluttering white hair in his impression.

Doctor Hua didn't care whether Guo Jia listened or not, he complained angrily for half an hour about the medicine he had worked so hard for but was ruthlessly poured out, and after taking Guo Jia's pulse, he spent two hours He cooked a new batch of medicine, and then poured the whole jar of medicine down to Guo Jia without any drop left.

Meow meow, how much coptis has been added!

Guo Jia, who had been hurt countless times, didn't want to think about the mysterious guest any more, so he floated back to the house and ate countless pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice cakes before he gradually regained his composure.

The whole morning passed in such chaos.

After noon, Guo Jia began to feel tired again.He has never had this habit before, but perhaps because of his body, taking a nap after meals has become a common occurrence.This time, he was talking about finding someone who would not sleep, but in the end, when he woke up, the sun was already setting outside.

This time Guo Jia didn't dawdle at all, and hurried to the other courtyard where the guest lived.According to the rules set by his father, it's cold at night, so he, who has been sick for many years, will not even think of going out of his room when it gets dark.

The guest lived not too close to his house, it was a separate courtyard, secluded, and there was a special kitchen and servant room inside. Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs, and it could almost be regarded as a small mansion.

God knows what was thought of when this house was built, won't it affect Feng Shui...

When Guo Jia stepped in, the guests were eating dinner at the stone table in the courtyard.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his eyes and saw a young man in a green shirt poking his head in from the courtyard gate.

Then, after he took a closer look, he immediately found that the clothes on the young man had been hastily put on. The most obvious thing was that the waist was not tied properly, which made the whole dress loose, and the chain bones at the collar were exposed.You don't need to tie your hair until you reach the crown, but I haven't seen a few people who just let the black hair hang around like this. When the night wind blows, it becomes even more messy.

Looking at the still red eyes, the boy must have just woken up.

He accidentally got the truth.

When being scrutinized, Guo Jia was also sizing up the guests... the food and drinks in front of him.

A total of eight plates of dishes almost filled the stone table, and Guo Jia felt that it was not at the same level as the green vegetables and porridge he was usually forced to eat no matter in terms of sight or smell.And the pot of wine was even more mellow. Guo Jia was extremely addicted to alcohol in his previous life, so he immediately concluded that the wine had been brewed for at least several decades.

Guo's house was not rich at all, and Guo Jia's father had never eaten like this, but to this guest, he was presented with a jade plate full of delicacies, one could tell at a glance that the difference in status and status was not ordinary.

"At this hour, I'm afraid I haven't eaten it yet. If you don't dislike it, how about using it with me?"

Good man, very good man!

Guo Jia was ashamed for a second because of rubbing against people for food, then nodded with a smile, and secretly gave him a good person card.

The two had dinner together, but it was obvious that Guo Jia's chopsticks were set down twice as fast as the person opposite, and he always went towards the meat dishes.The people on the opposite side were not so interested in these dishes, so they simply slowed down without leaving any traces, and watched Guo Jia feasting on them with great interest.

It's hard to get bored with a good-looking boy, not to mention that although Guo Jia ate fast, he still tried his best to abide by a little etiquette without disregarding his image.The opposite person was also a person who didn't follow the rules since he was a child, but Guo Jia's slightly unrestrained behavior made him feel real, vaguely seeing himself back then, and found it very interesting.

After Guo Jia found out about it later, he said hehe, no matter what, he didn't steal chickens and dogs to snatch other people's wives, okay?

Guo Jia squinted his eyes enjoying the clearness of the entrance. He hadn't had a drink for many years. At this moment, he was so excited that his heart burst into tears.

Putting down his glass, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten the main task of coming here.I wanted to start a conversation, but realized that no one knew the other person's last name, nor their age. How should I call it...

"My surname is Xiahou." The other party said with a slight smile.

"Brother Xiahou" Guo Jia immediately called out, and he didn't care whether it was in compliance with the rules, because he vaguely felt that the upright guest sitting across from him was actually a hypocritical r(s_t)q

The opponent's city was not easily seen by Guo Jia. Before he came, he also had the idea of ​​investigating the identity of the person, but in the end he gave up and chose a mission that was more likely to succeed.

"Jia usually stays at home, and except for occasional opportunities, he has never been able to set foot anywhere. I heard from my father that Brother Xiahou is well-informed, can you tell Jia interesting things about various places to comfort Jia's curiosity?"

This is what Guo Jia really wants to know.In the past ten years, the only information he has access to is that Emperor Hong is currently in power, which is also called Emperor Ling of Han in later generations.The master invited by his father was dedicated to learning, and he never talked about major affairs in the world except to pass on his knowledge, so until now, Guo Jia knows nothing about the affairs of the court and the party, and the situation of all parties.

Xiahou is a common surname, and the other party has an extraordinary status. From the other party's point of view, the information revealed should be enough to satisfy him.

"If the young master has this interest, I will naturally be happy."

Xiahou really has a wealth of experience. He talked about the scenery outside the Great Wall in Xiliang to the dark clouds and lonely smoke in Mobei, and from the magnificence and majesty of southern Sichuan to the gentle water color in the south of the Yangtze River. Under the narration, I couldn't help but be brought in, and the countless beautiful scenery of China seemed to emerge in front of my eyes.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, beautiful mountains and rivers, through the ages, how many heroes have bowed their heads.

But gradually, the topic diverged from local customs and customs.

"Since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, he has no interest in government affairs. The internal instability of the court, scholars and eunuchs are fighting for power, and the world has gradually become chaotic."

"Have you ever heard of the Yellow Turban Rebellion two years ago? Although people with ulterior motives bewitched it, most of the rebellions were peasants suffering from hunger and cold. Years of severe drought, local officials were corrupt and bribed, and formed cliques for personal gain. I once I went to the Yellow Turbans to see that their soldiers were not clothed, and many of them were just bare-handed. In the final analysis, they were just a group of people who couldn't survive.

"But even so, there are still people who want to use the chaos to start trouble. The matter of the Marquis of Hefei that I talked about with your father involved..."

"Wait a moment!"

Guo Jia hastily interrupted him.Although he wanted to hear about the situation in various places, but the other party really said it so bluntly, it also——

"What's the matter? Isn't this what the young master really wants to hear?"

been seen through...

The wind was warm tonight, but it was the first time for Guo Jia to feel what it means to feel a chill down his back when facing Shang Xiahou's smiling phoenix eyes.This time, he was completely sure that the other party's aura and experience were definitely not someone he could fool with his little tricks. The result of forcing himself to be clever was that he was completely seen through by the other party, and then he was eaten to death.

"You don't have to be surprised. In fact, Uncle Guo just knows how muddy the water is, and he doesn't want you to fall into it too. However, among the students in the world, who doesn't have the heart to serve the country and protect the people? It's understandable for you to want to know these things. I Let me tell you well."

The other party spoke again and slowed down his tone, which made the hidden sternness in his eyes fade a lot, and Guo Jia took advantage of the opportunity to lower his eyes to avoid the other party's eyes.

It turned out that the other party just regarded himself as someone who wanted to understand the world's major events and then devote himself to serving the country.

That's right, no matter how good he is, he looks like a 16-year-old boy. He rarely leaves the house and specializes in sage books. Even if the other party guesses that he has a heart, he can't think too far.

This is easy to handle, a little more truthful.

"That's right, Jia is indeed interested in the Yellow Turban Rebellion that brother Xiahou said, but the local customs before were not just perfunctory." Looking up again, Guo Jia's eyes were calm, and there was even a proper smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, Jia didn't want to serve the country, but because he was afraid of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yingchuan the year before last, he wanted to find an outstanding place earlier, so that he could take his father to live in seclusion in the future."

A 16-year-old boy, just when he is full of aspirations and wants to start a big career, how can he want to retreat to the mountains and forests like that old man who is over half a century old, and don't care about world affairs.But the indifferent look on Guo Jia's face was so real that he was surprised but couldn't doubt it.

In the cold, Xia Hou wanted to ask something, but he was not sure what the other party was thinking.

In the end, it was Guo Jia who picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Xia Hou looks down on Jia, thinking Jia is too unambitious?"

Of course normal people wouldn't say yes, Guo Jia was about to tell where he had it very calmly and detachedly, when he saw the person at the front of the table smiling and nodding.

Who said that the ancients were euphemistic and polite, what's going on!

"To be honest, I'm a little surprised to hear the young master say that." Xiahou looked at Guo Jia's darkened face for a moment, and said with great interest, "In my opinion, the young master is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. "

"No, Jia is very afraid of death, very, very afraid of death."

There is nothing wrong with Guo Jia's statement.Good food and wine, good nights and beautiful women, beautiful lakes and mountains, there are too many beautiful things in this world, but life is short, and he doesn't want to lose himself for any frivolous things like fame and fortune.

Unless, there is something worthwhile that he must achieve at the expense of his own life.

"However, Jia Wuxin is not only because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but also because Jia thinks that what you said is completely useless."

"Appreciate further details."

"If the world is divided for a long time, it must be united and for a long time it must be divided. Even if Jia does nothing, the troubled times will pass sooner or later, but it will be sooner or later."

"But if everyone in the world is like what the young master thinks, then wouldn't everyone be wise and protect themselves? If so, how can the troubled times pass? What's more, if the world can be stabilized earlier, there will be fewer people who will be miserable. Behind the difference between sooner and later It is the lives of tens of thousands of people, how can it be an understatement of "but" in the mouth of the little prince?"

"You're going to die sooner or later, aren't you?" Taking another sip of wine, Guo Jia, who had no idea how much he could drink in his body, blushed, his eyes began to blur due to the effect of alcohol, but the words he uttered were extremely cold, "People like this Existence, in the eyes of the superiors, is nothing but a string of numbers in the history books, is it worth it?"

"How can you be so contemptuous of human life?!" Xia Hou's eyes became serious. He didn't want to take the words of a young man who was not as good as the crown seriously, so he tried his best to suppress his emotions in the previous conversation, but at this time the other party's words were beyond him. The range of treatment touched the bottom line, and his phoenix eyes were already stern, "If there were no people in Li, and the numbers in your mouth were worthless, how would there be the rich clothes and fine food of the princes and nobles, and how would the century-old stability of the Han Dynasty come about? Every life is worthy of respect, no matter how high or low."

"Oh~?" Shaking and pouring himself another glass of wine, Guo Jia supported his head with his hands, and looked at Xiahou with surprise and curiosity, but most of them were covered by wine, "It's so interesting, it turns out that here Is there anyone who thinks like this in this era? What did you eat to grow up?"

"...?" Xiahou said that he couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought.

"But since you think so, I'll give you a word of advice."

Xia Hou looked at Guo Jia's mouth gradually evoking a smile, which was bright but indescribably sad, and the ethereal figure under the moonlight made him feel that the other party would go away with the wind in a second.

This was the first time he felt that no matter what, he would never be able to keep Guo Jia. However, it would never be the last time.

What Guo Jia uttered next puzzled him at the time, but he realized later that the 16-year-old boy in front of him had already seen through the end of this troubled world from the very beginning.

"If in your eyes, the common people are really more important than the superior emperor, then give up this rotten Han Dynasty."

"Only by breaking and then building can we truly usher in peace."

When Xiwu ran for most of the mansion and finally found Guo Jia, Guo Jia was already drunk and fell asleep on the stone table. Guo Jia's eyes were dark, as if he was deep in thought.

"I'm sorry, the young master has caused you trouble." Xiwu hurried over, apologizing while helping Guo Jia back.

Seeing that he was just a little girl, Xia Hou probably couldn't help Guo Jia, so he said, "Why don't I help him back with you..."

Before he finished speaking, he paused there, because he clearly saw that before he spoke, the thin little girl had already supported Guo Jia to stand up steadily, and after hearing his words, she stopped. It seemed that he staggered a few steps out of strength.

"That's a real inconvenience to you."

He helped Guo Jia up with the little girl, and he clearly felt that Guo Jia was leaning on his side. With the details he observed just now, he had no doubt that the little girl did it on purpose.

It seems to be inadvertently swept across the palm of someone's hand. The catkin of a woman who should be delicate and supple has thin calluses. It looks like a martial arts practitioner.

This, what is going on with one or two.

He helped the man to the door, but Xi Wu didn't let the man help Guo Jia in. Instead, he beckoned the man to walk around in a big circle, and sneaked into the house through the back door where there was no servant.

After pouring Guo Jia's hangover soup and helping him to lie down on the bed, Xi Wu bowed seriously to Xiahou and said apologetically, "I really troubled you today, and please don't talk about the young master's drinking." Tell the master, otherwise the young master will be scolded again."

"Has he never drank alcohol?" Xia Hou was surprised, he remembered that he was used to drinking when he was less than ten years old.

"Drinking alcohol hurts your health. The young master has been in poor health since he was a child, so the master has never let the young master touch alcohol." Xi Wu replied truthfully, but secretly sighed in his heart that the young master drank like this this time, and he might have been drinking for so many years. Completed.

Xia Hou had vaguely guessed the answer. When he was supporting Guo Jia just now, he found that the person was extremely thin, and the green shirt was like wearing it on him.

"I don't know who Young Master Guo studied under?"

Xiwu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why someone would suddenly ask this: "My master invited Mr. He, a great Confucian from Yangzhai."

Xia Hou and this so-called great Confucianist had a relationship, but the other party was extremely pedantic, and he only knew how to teach according to the scriptures, and talking to people casually was also "the one who knows". Obviously, Guo Jia's words were definitely not taught by this person.

How did that 16-year-old boy say those words?

"Xi Wu, what are you still doing in the young master's house? There is so much work here." Liu He's mournful voice came from outside the house.

"Here we come." Xi Wu responded, and gave Xiahou another apologetic look. Xiahou nodded immediately, and left the house through the side door, returning to his other courtyard.

The silence in the courtyard is still there, and the tangerine flowers blooming in the moonlight are blown by the night wind and fall on the stone table, which is as beautiful as a painting.

The scene of drinking and talking with people before could not help appearing in his mind. He couldn't explain clearly, so he laughed.
