Walking out of the Zuiyue Tower slowly, Xi Fan finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and gently bumped Guo Jia with his elbow: "The appearance of Wen Ruo sitting upright in the Chu Pavilion in the Qin Tower really becomes more and more interesting the more you think about it."

The corners of Guo Jia's lips rose: "This is enough to keep me laughing for three years."

Xun Yu lowered his eyes slightly, he used the excuse of listening to a little song to trick Xi Yan out, but in the end he didn't listen to a single song, Xi Yan even had a little rouge stained on his skirt in order to protect him from mad bees and waves.He was a little embarrassed and treated guests at Caiwei Pavilion.

Caiwei Pavilion is indeed elegant, passing through the gate tower, there are several terraces and pavilions around, and the pine trees press the railings.White plums and horizontal jade, moon window snow cave, water pavilion and wind pavilion, one step at a time.

The opera party ordered fashionable ditties, juggling and sword dancing, and a few exquisite side dishes with wine, and the three friends faced the window, having a drink and talking and laughing.

Guo Jia has been recuperating for a while, and feels good about herself these few days. However, after only drinking two glasses of wine, she became dizzy for a while.He didn't want to spoil his friend's interest, so he didn't say anything, trying to cover up.

But Xi Fan was the most sensitive and careful, snatched away the wine cup and forbade him to drink any more: "It is an exception for Feng Xiao to drink alcohol today, don't be greedy." Looking at Xun Yu again, he said softly: "Let's go, let's meet another day get together."

Guo Jia grabbed Xi Fan's sleeve: "Zhicai is free to visit Xiao Yi'er, he misses you every day."

A rare tenderness appeared in Xi Yan's eyes: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

From the day of the winter solstice, all officials rest, business travel is closed, and they have a lot of leisure time to visit relatives and friends.Xi Yan hadn’t come to Guo’s mansion for more than half a month. The names of the maids in this mansion, except Jinmo, were changed by Guo Jia to all the names of medicines: Yingchun, Banxia, ​​Jianqiu, Lonicera, and Baizhi. , Qingdai, Scutellaria, Perilla...

Xi Yan was silent for a moment, as if he caught a glimpse of Guo Jia's resentment when he drank the medicine.

Nowadays, civil servants are accustomed to naming their maids from "Three Hundred Poems" and "Chu Songs".If Guo Jia was not careful, he was different again.

Xi Fan taught Guo Yi to recite poems in the Nuange, and Shen Shi had a small banquet. Sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, plum blossom cake, winter bamboo shoots and three delicacies steamed dumplings.

However, Xun Yu is now the Minister of the Book, and he is the most powerful in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Cao Cao.During festivals, Xun's mansion was full of guests, and Xun Yu couldn't get away from him at all, so he had to send a servant to spread the word that he couldn't come.

These days, banquets are divided into meals. There is a food table in front of everyone, and all the dishes are divided equally, and each person has a portion.In the side hall, the two Mr. Zuo and Chen Liang, the chief steward, also each have a copy.

If Xun Yu didn't come, there would be extra food for one person. Based on the principle of not wasting food, Guo Jia asked someone to pack it in a food box and take it to the backyard to satisfy the little maid.

After eating and drinking enough, Guo Jia patiently told Guo Yi a bedtime story.King Qi asked the painter, what is the easiest thing to paint, and what is the hardest thing to paint?The painter said: "Dogs and horses are the most difficult to draw. These two things are too common and well-known to everyone. It is very difficult to draw people satisfactorily. Ghosts are the best to draw. Anyway, no one has ever seen ghosts. There is nothing to say."

Guo Yi pursed his mouth, his eyes were wet, acting as a leg pendant: "Ah Weng, Yi'er still wants to hear."

"Then tell me another one. After listening to this, you must go to sleep."

So, Guo Jia told no less than ten short stories, his mouth was dry, but none of them could lull Guo Yi to sleep.

Xi Yan leaned on the side to read "Shen Yi Jing" (it is said to be a strange novel written by Dongfang Shuo), without raising his head, he just uttered two words lightly: "Go to bed." Guo Yi immediately lay down obediently, no longer playing tricks.

Guo Jia was speechless for a while, taking advantage of his friend's obsession with legends of mythical beasts and strange beasts, Guo Jia went to take a hot bath.

At night, snowflakes fluttered in the air and fluttered on the window lattice one after another.Guo Jia came out of the bathroom, glanced out the window, asked the maid to clean the wing, and said to Xi Yan, "The wind and snow keep guests, but God's will let Zhicai stay."

Xi Yan covered the "Shen Yi Jing" and smiled brightly: "Even if you don't look at God's will, you can't live up to Feng Xiao's kindness."

The guard came to report, and Cao Sikong came to visit.Seeing Xi Yan beside him, the guard groaned for a while, and after receiving Guo Jia's gaze, he gestured on his sleeve with his hand and said, "Cao Sikong's sleeve is torn, and he doesn't look too good in this position." good."

Guo Jia and Xi Yan looked at each other, and Xi Fan said, "I'll avoid it for now." Hearing that Cao Cao and Mrs. Ding were having a divorce (divorce), Cao Cao came to Guo Jia at this time, and even tore his sleeves. Mrs. Ding kicked her out of the house. As a subordinate, it's better to avoid him.

Guo Jia: "Do you dare to be a little loyal?" He had just bathed, his hair was still dripping, and he didn't welcome Cao Cao at all.

Xi Yan really broke off: "Can loyalty be eaten? Don't be afraid, if something goes wrong, I will rescue you at any time."

Cao Cao has been very troubled recently.

On the last expedition, Cao Ang returned home with injuries. The eldest son was always sensible, and he only told Mrs. Ding that he had accidentally shot an arrow.Mrs. Dante cared about her son and asked around, but she still found out about Cao Cao's Lieyan scandal.Cao Cao humiliated Zhang Xiu's widowed aunt and forced Zhang Xiu to rebel. In order to save his father, Cao Ang gave up his horse and almost died in the water.

In a way, Cao Cao is a hero.It is a very fortunate thing to be a hero's wife.Every time Cao Cao went on an expedition, it would take at least two or three months, and at most five or six months, and the burden of the family fell on Mrs. Ding.

Every time Cao Cao returned to the mansion, he would hang out with young and beautiful concubines. Mrs. Ding could not share the slightest tenderness. As the main wife, she must also show virtuousness and generosity, and be kind to those women who share her husband's favor.

Mrs. Ding has never had a child, and she treats Cao Ang who lost her biological mother as her own.Only Cao Ang is her spiritual sustenance.Recently, she has always had a strange intuition that the Cao Ang that Guo Jia found from the edge of the water is not the son she raised alone.

Mrs. Ding and Cao Cao, the relationship between husband and wife has long been broken, but they barely maintain the harmony on the surface.Cao Ang almost had an accident, and became familiar and unfamiliar, making Mrs. Ding unable to bear such a life anymore.She quarreled with Cao Cao and made peace.

Cao Cao knew he was in the wrong, and tried to let his wife do his best. In addition, Cao Ang mediated from it, and there were already signs of reconciliation.

However, this evening, Mrs. Ding couldn't calm down for a while, so she asked the maid to invite Mrs. Zou.

After Mrs. Zou entered the room, she stood timidly, more delicate than Hua.

Mrs. Ding plans to move out of the family law and severely punish this concubine of her husband Xinna.However, when she accidentally saw Zou Shi's side face, she was stunned. After a long time, Madam Ding's face became extremely ugly, and her fingers began to tremble.

At this moment, the string that had been tense in her heart suddenly broke, and she rushed straight into Cao Cao's study, crying and laughing, beating and beating, saying that she would go back to her mother's house.

Cao Cao's clothes were torn by Mrs. Ding, and he was slapped on the face. In a rage, he shouted: "If you make peace, you will make peace." Mrs. Ding immediately asked him for a letter of reconciliation.

Even if the relationship is not very good, they are still old couples who have loved each other for many years. Cao Cao's chest is uncomfortable, and he walks around the street alone without a servant.Misfortunes never come singly, snow fell all over his head, and he also had a headache. Cao Cao was unwilling to go home to face Mrs. Ding, so he knocked on the door of Guo's mansion.

Guo Jia is probably the only one who dared to hang him in the main hall drinking tea and not come out to greet him for a long time. His Majesty would not be so slow.Thinking of Guo Jia's appearance of not caring much about anything, Cao Cao pressed his temple with one hand, secretly annoyed.

Guo Jia's footsteps are always soft and easy to recognize.When Cao Cao turned his head, he saw Guo Jia wearing a light robe and holding a small and exquisite hand stove in his hand.It was the kind of pampered hand, with slender and clean fingers, shining as white as jade.Shi Shiran came.

Cao Cao smelled a faint scent of medicine, and his anger suddenly disappeared without a trace, and even his headache was relieved a lot, replaced by a strange feeling.

Guo Jia's black, shiny and smooth long hair was draped behind her back, fixed with only a hair band, the length reached her waist, and it was scattered but not messy.Probably because he didn't have his hair tied up, he didn't look as energetic as when he was discussing matters, his brows were calm and soft, as if he was going to rest on the couch.

Cao Cao grabbed the cold jade mat indiscriminately: "Madam Ding wants to make peace with Gu."

Guo Jia blinked: "My lord, I'm just an aide, without a wife, I can't empathize with you."

Cao Cao: "..."

Guo Jia leaned lazily on the table and took a sip of tea leisurely: "Besides, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework. If you have to come up with an idea, Jia has a golden saying: Madam is always right. A man is a man. What does it matter if you take the initiative to admit your mistake? As long as it can make Madam happy, it doesn't matter if you lose face."

Cao Cao narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes slightly, and asked silently in his heart: What if this mistake is because of admiration for Fengxiao?

He started to have a severe headache again, his body shrank like a big shrimp, and he held his head in his hands.

"My lord?" Guo Jia moved closer and reached out to touch Cao Cao's forehead.

Cao Cao was a little embarrassed, he didn't want Guo Jia to see him in a panic, and at the same time he was very eager to be comforted, even after Guo Jia withdrew his hand, he put his forehead on Guo Jia's waist with conflicting feelings, and his palms were dripping. Sweaty.

Iron-headed Cao Ah lied, Guo Jia was taken aback, and with a sympathy for the sick, he stood still for a while, and then retreated calmly: "Jia go ask Mr. Zuo."

"Don't go." Cao Cao grabbed Guo Jia's clothes and refused to let go.

Guo Jia was being dragged and tugged at, and when he was extremely embarrassed, footsteps came from outside the house, and someone smiled and called out "Feng Xiao" twice, but seeing Xi Yan wearing a flamboyant and gorgeous women's dress, and the gemstone pendant beside his ear was swaying brightly, With one hand resting on the door bolt, he was a little surprised: "The lord is here?"

Cao Cao was shocked, let go of the cloth he was holding in his hands instantly, sat upright slowly, and asked in surprise, "Zhicai is there?"
