[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

In Hanoi in October, the autumn wind is rustling, the geese are flying from the north to the south, and the clouds are like fire.

Opening the curtain halfway, Guo Jia looked out the window.Perhaps because it was getting late, this street was not considered lively. A few Jia people were selling goods on the side of the road, and occasionally a few passers-by would stop and take a look.While the car was parked, Guo Jia beckoned and bought a bronze lamp that Jia Ren was selling.The lamp is in the shape of a cow, with patterns carved from the horns to the hooves of the cow. The front ring of the cow's tail is upturned, and the wick is placed at the tail of the cow. The body of the cow can just block the wind and keep the lamp from shaking. It is too delicate to be sold on the street.So, it's no wonder that no one else sold except him, the Jia family: for poor families, the lamps are too many and useless, and those who care about survival will not waste time on this kind of thing; Even if the lamps and lanterns are exquisite, they cannot compare with the fine products cast in their own gardens.Best of all, only a newcomer like Guo Jia who is curious about everything would buy such a thing for fun.

At this time, Xi Wu stepped into the car and said to Guo Jia: "Master, I just asked, and after driving one block ahead and turning west, it is the Xun Family House."

"Hmm." Guo Jia nodded, feeling the carriage started to move forward, so he withdrew his hand and let the curtain hang down again to block his sight.Although his coming to Hanoi was not an absolute secret, it was not something to be publicized, so Guo Jia could not go to the seat of Wen County in Hanoi.It just so happened that the Xun family had a house here.Although Yuan Shao was not dead and the four prefectures were not lost, the attitude of the Xun family was already obvious. The Xun family naturally agreed very happily to this kind of effort that Guo Jia could only borrow for a few days.

"In the house in Wen County, there should only be an old servant to look after the house. They don't have all the food and clothing.?? Feeling┨Kang bald and bald? Xuan?

Thinking of being in Xudu before leaving Xun?? Muv???? Tail waving Shantou Αu? ?So timid straight ring 1 Lai fluke ????br>

Obviously, whether it is the Imperial Medical Office or Hua Tuo, they all checked their own pulse in front of Wen Ruo:

In good health, everything is normal.

The car gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of a majestic mansion.Guo Jia got off the car, but the people waiting in front of the mansion's tall main entrance were beyond Guo Jia's expectations.The person in front of me is dressed in brown??, with a cloth scarf tied on his head, standing upright, his eyebrows and eyes are in line with Xun??

This person is exactly Guandu, who disappeared after World War I. Xun?? Nanzhiぁ??

"Jia really didn't expect that during this trip to Hanoi, he would be able to meet old friends."

"Long time no see, Fengxiao, Miss Xiwu." Xun Chen, Guo Jia, and Xiwu nodded slightly in turn, greeted warmly, then turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "If you have something to ask Chen, don't ask me." If you are in a hurry, go to the mansion first."

The Xunzhai in Wen County looks majestic from the outside, but the inside is much simpler, except for some ordinary rockery, short trees and green grass, there are no other embellishments, and there is a faint air of bleakness.There are not too many servants, but most of them are old. Guo Jia guessed that most of them are old servants of the Xun family.The world is chaotic, and the Xun family has no intention of taking care of the house in Hanoi. The majestic front gate is to deter the little thieves, and all the things in the house are just for the old servants to take care of them. If he didn't come, I'm afraid it would be simpler and simpler many.

After crossing the threshold and entering the main hall, Xun Chen invited Guo Jia and Xi Wu to sit down, and ordered the servants to serve tea and pastries: "Ah? The male pong Huiti is secretly playing? Xia Ai? Vinegar patting Nanbu 11 Dirty fold 4 have> Sauce polyp?? Halo Art Bream Breeding? What Jiacong? Excuse me!?br>

"Wen Ruo didn't know that his elder brother was not in Hebei, but he ran to Hanoi to escape." Guo Jia took an osmanthus cake and threw it into his mouth. After three or four more sips of tea, they patted the foam on their hands, and then looked at Xun Chen contentedly and said, "Okay, You Ruo, tell the truth, if you don't continue to stay in Yuanying well, you won't hide it. Let everyone go to Hanoi to hide their names, what are you planning to do?"

"As you said, come to Hanoi to hide and relax." Xun Chen finished with a smile, then paused, his expression gradually became more serious, "During Guandu, Chen did a few things too hastily and left too many loopholes. Except for the child from the Xin family who hasn't figured it out yet, Guo Tu and the judges should have seen some problems. Besides, Chen is willing to bet against you but not to fight at Guandu, and what happens after that has nothing to do with me."

The gambling Xun Chen mentioned refers to the rebellion of Dong Cheng, the capital of Xu, at the end of the previous year.Dong Chengneng had a large army in his hands when Dong Zhuo was in chaos in the capital, and he was able to send his daughter into the palace after Emperor Han moved east to Xudu.But on the one hand, Dong Guiren's pregnancy really made him think a lot. On the other hand, Xun Chen, who lived in his mansion, made countless empty words and vowed that once Xudu civil strife and Cao Cao died, Yuan Shao would immediately send troops south to control Xu Du, when the time is right, will work with Dong Cheng to support the new emperor.In this way, Dong Cheng's ambition was instigated more and more, and he couldn't wait to coax the little emperor into making a belt edict.

At that time, Xun Chenshang was planning for the Yuan family, instigating Dong Chengzi in order to disrupt the enemy's rear for Yuan Shao before the war, and strive for a victory without bloodshed; and for Guo Jia, he was also happy to see Dong Cheng as a young bird, fighting against Yuan Shao. Before the stalemate can't get away, we should clean up Xudu, which has different people's hearts, so that the conflict between Cao Cao and Emperor Han can break out when it is still controllable.Although the positions are different, the interests are the same, so Guo Jia secretly met with Xun Chen after learning that Xun Chen was in Xudu. .The one who loses has to plan for the other side so that the other side can win the next battle.

Guo Jia naturally didn't think he would lose, and even if he lost, he had already planned to renege on his debts.

"But before Guandu had a final result, the Xun family had already made a decision. So now that I think about it, it's clearly a blessing."

"That's better than Feng Xiao, you plan to renege on the debt from the very beginning." However, after hearing this, Guo Jia still had a reasonable expression on his face, so Xun Chen could only shrug his shoulders and let it go, "Actually, you don't Fortunately, the Xun family has plans for the Xun family, but it has nothing to do with Chen. If he hadn't agreed to you, Chen would never stand by and watch this battle."

"Oh, by the way, Jia only remembered Xingshi's questioning and forgot something." As he spoke, Guo Jia took a scroll of bamboo slips from Xiwu and asked his servant to hand it to Xun Chen, "Wen Ruo let Jia bring the letter from home. , said to ask Jia to hand over to the servant in the house, and the servant will send it back to the Xun family. Just like a good friend, if you are here, Jia will give it to you."

"A? Huanchu? Call?

"Curiosity is curiosity, but being ordered by others and being loyal to others, Jia would not do that kind of thing." Having said that, Guo Jia couldn't help asking curiously, "What did you write in Wen Ruo's letter?"

"The family letter from the Xun family, when you become a member of the Xun family, Chen will tell you."

"Hehe." Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, you said it was written for you, so Jia can guess it. Wen Ruo asked You Ruo to go to Xudu, right?"

Xun Chen smiled and did not comment: "You know it very well??!?br>

"Because Jia also entered the wolf pit because of a letter from Wen Ruo. At that time, Jia's expression was said to be exactly the same as yours at this time. But Jia also understood why Wen Ruo didn't send the letter back, but let Jia personally With this letter, I want Jia to be a lobbyist for him." Guo Jia said, "So, what is You Ruo's plan?"

"Chen just left Yuanying and came out of the tiger's den, how could he enter your wolf pit of Caoying again." Xun Chen re-rolled the family letter he had read and put it aside, "Okay, okay, didn't Chen think that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were the same? It’s the same kind of person, but as I said before, Chen wants to be free and stay away from these trivial matters as much as possible.”

After Xun Chen's words fell, Guo Jia didn't speak for a long time, but just looked at Xun Chen motionlessly with his head propped up, and Xun Chen couldn't help frowning because of the undisguised inquiry in his eyes reflecting the candlelight.When he first met Guo Jia, this kind of gaze made him subconsciously alert, as if no matter what he was thinking in his heart, Guo Jia would see through it in an instant.But instead of asking Guo Jia, he asked sincerely to Xi Wu who had been sitting quietly at the side all the time: "Miss Xi Wu, is your young master suffering from an eye disease?"

"Huh?" Xi Wu was taken aback.When Guo Jia and Xun Chen talked before, she had been distracted and didn't listen much. Now that she was suddenly clicked by Xun You, she was stunned for a moment, and after going through Xun Chen's words in her mind, she realized and looked at Guo Jia worriedly, "Master , Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

"..." He cast a glance at Xiwu with hatred, Guo Jia coughed lightly, "Awu, have you forgotten what I told you before? No matter what Xun Youruo said, it is definitely best not to answer The choice." Otherwise, I really don't know where he will be led unknowingly.

"Oh." Xiwu nodded, but it was obvious that she still didn't understand what was going on.

"Actually, Jia just thinks that Youruo is getting harder and harder to see through." Guo Jia turned his gaze back to Xun Chen, but he didn't return to the straightforward look of inquiry just now, "It's the first time I met Youruo, is it?" In the main house of the Xun family, after many years, Jia can’t remember clearly.” At that time, he was satisfied that it was Xun Wenruo, and the relationship with the rest of the Xun family was at most to meet and say hello. When Jia was in Yuanying, Jia still felt that Elder Brother Xun was really a kind and good man, but everyone seemed to have no temper even though he came from a noble family, and he didn't care about gains and losses in everything.

But after getting along for a long time, Jia felt that You Ruo didn't care about gains and losses, but that you didn't care about the slightest difference because you had great plans. Especially after Xu Du and Guandu, it was obvious that You Ruo was not a soft-hearted person who would kill and make decisions His cruelty is not inferior to anyone.

Now, You Ruo is hiding in Wen County again.The Yuan family is in decline, so it's understandable if you don't want to be buried with the Yuan family; but if Wen invites you, you won't go either...

Jia Su has been able to observe people's hearts one or two times, because no matter how complicated the human heart is, it must have something to ask for.But if you ask for it, there will be clues that can be traced back to the source.But you Ruo, where do you put what you want? "

Xun Chen didn't expect Guo Jia to ask all the questions so honestly.He chuckled and shook his head, and replied: "In today's world, there are no more than three scholars, just like A Mu Che He Suiya?? Guide Yidan?? Skeleton already yo parallel mortise? Baiqia r locust 缒阄far away? Playing? Obscure cheese bumang? Cheese bobbing blink? 蟮矮亲相相目烧忮奇#? Yes, word for word. Has Feng Xiao forgotten?"
