Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

The morning light penetrated through the carved window lattice, filling the room softly.

The two people who had just been gently awakened by Chen Xi were still wearing pajamas.On the small red sandalwood table, there are two hairpins, two hair crowns, two jade pendants, two belts placed side by side... even a pair of swords hanging on the wall.Xun Yu's ice-blue cloud-pattern robe covered Guo Jia's waist.

Guo Jia's loose hair was caught between Xun Yu's fingers.

The room is warm and fragrant, and the years are quiet.

It is a kind of elegance and fun to listen to anecdotes about other people's sons and sisters breaking their peaches and breaking their sleeves.But his own nephew was so masculine, it was a little hard to accept, Guo Xi was so irritable that he wanted to hit someone.

This is like the flower seedlings planted by one's own hands, carefully cultivated for many years, and finally blooming gorgeous flowers, and then being taken away by others.

Guo Xi stood by the door, the smile on his face froze slowly, he didn't jump into a rage, he didn't curse, he just looked at Guo Jia and Xun Yu indifferently, an invisible aura enveloped them like a dark cloud in silence heart.

This is the legendary self-defense without anger?

Guo Jia's eyelids twitched, almost jumping off Xun Yu's body, but he didn't know what to say, so he called out in a low voice, "Uncle."

"Put on your clothes, and you two come to the study to meet me." Guo Xi looked serious, his voice could not hear any emotion, and he walked slowly out the door with one hand behind his back.

Xun Yu looked calm as usual, Guo Jia put his ear on his chest, feeling the slight acceleration of his heartbeat.Xun Yu: "If you have to pass this test, you will try to get Guo Shibo's approval."

Guo Jia: "It's okay, the old man has a big heart. He used to praise you often, and said that Yingyin Xun's generation, Wen Ruo is the most elegant and upright." That is to say, the person who needs courage may not be Xun Yu, but he himself.

Not allowing the elders to wait for too long, Guo Jia rinsed his mouth with green salt, washed his face hastily, and changed into a set of regular clothes, a white jacket, a purple cloud-pattern robe, and a wide belt, which was refreshing.He led Xun Yu, who was also neatly dressed, to meet his parents.

The old house left by the ancestors is usually taken care of by domestic servants. Only when the ancestors are worshipped in the New Year, the master will come back to live for a while.

Across the corridor, melodious ancient Qin Zheng music could be heard faintly.

The study room has good lighting, and the mottled traces of time on the walls and furniture are almost invisible.The wooden floor is a little loose, creaking when walking on it, and occasionally a small piece will warp.On the east wall, there is a graffiti left by Guo Tu when he was a child: a pheasant carved with a knife and pen.But Guo Tu insisted that this was Phoenix.

Guo Xi knelt down on the main seat in an extremely elegant and upright posture, and saw his nephew and Xun Wenruo enter the room, one was elegant and the other elegant, performing the son-nephew ceremony together, it was pleasing to the eye.

If Xun Wenruo wants to be like his nephew, he will treat himself as a junior in front of him?

The corners of Guo Xi's eyes twitched slightly, and he waved his hands to make the maids who were making tea, playing the zither, and delivering snacks stand back, and asked Guo Jia, "When did you start?"

Guo Jia lowered his eyes: "Uncle, it was mid-autumn last year."

Guo Xi's eyes burst out with a cold and sharp light: "It's been more than a year without telling this old man? It depends on your ability!"

Guo Jia had a cheeky face, and said with a smile, "Why? My nephew wrote a letter to my uncle the next day."

Guo Xi: "You brat, you're talking nonsense again."

Guo Jia is serious: "Really, I still remember the original words in the letter: 'Uncle Wanfu Jin'an, Jia is in Puyang, and Wen Ruoyong is united, and we will assist you...'Uncle should have an impression?"

To tie the knot?Of course, he had an impression. At that time, he still felt that his nephew used words improperly and was a bit sticky.Two gentlemen, like-minded, have the same temperament, and if Jinlan can understand, what do you mean they are united?Tired and crooked like a young couple.

Got tricked by this brat!

Guo Xi stood up suddenly, and kicked with his foot.

Guo Jia didn't hide, it's better to let the bad old man calm down.But the expected pain did not appear, Xun Yu blocked him in time, and kicked Xun Yu's leg. Hearing the movement, the force should not be heavy, and he knew that the bad old man was reluctant to hit him.

Guo Xi kicked the wrong person, he felt a little sorry, and his attitude eased a little, and he said to Guo Jia: "Jia'er, you go out first. I have something to say to the boy of the Xun family." , to be honest, her appearance and talent are impeccable, but it's a pity that she can't get married...

Guo Jia looked at his words and guessed that his uncle didn't particularly dislike cutting off his sleeves, but just for a moment, he couldn't accept his nephew's sleeves being cut off in Xun Yu's arms.He gave a deep salute, patted Xun Yu's back comfortingly, and walked to the door, feeling uneasy, and looked back, only to see that Xun Yu had already sat down, one old and one young were sharing tea, and the picture looked quite harmonious .

Guo Hong was wandering in the corridor, and when he saw Guo Jia coming out, he smiled embarrassingly: "Sixteenth brother, I didn't tell my father anything, you were the one who had someone clean up a guest room for Xun Wenruo, and he never went to live in it. My father became suspicious."

Guo Jia glanced at him coolly.

Guo Hong coughed dryly: "Last night, my father suddenly asked about you, pretending to know everything clearly, and tricking me. Think about it, how many corrupt officials and thieves my father tried in those years, I couldn't stand it at all."

Guo Jia smiled: "Brother, did the old man ever say that you are the kind of self-confessed person?"

After about two cups of tea, Guo Xi and Xun Yu came out of the study without speaking, and the whole family gathered in the main room for breakfast, almost silently.

Guo Jia went to Guo Xi's food table, brought the steamed fish in front of him, picked out the fish bones with bamboo chopsticks, picked out even the small bones, and pushed them back to their original positions.

Guo Xi's eyes softened, and he said in a gentle voice, "I'm not yet seventy and eighty, so I don't need to take care of you. Go and eat by yourself, don't let the food cool down." This nephew is so thoughtful that even he used to like to eat steamed fish. Now I am afraid that the thorns are eaten less, and I can see it at a glance.

Guo Jia: No, he is 69 years old, and his body is stronger than most of his peers.

After wiping his hands with a silk handkerchief, he sat down on the mat next to Xun Yu and began to eat.

After the meal, Guo Xi took his nephew and Xun Yu to visit the scenic spots and historic sites in Yangdi: Juntai.Juntai is the place where Xia Qi, the son of Dayu, formed an alliance with princes from all directions and established China's first "hereditary" dynasty, the Xia Dynasty. It is located on Sanfeng Mountain, ten miles south of Yangdi City, and belongs to the hilly landform.The ruins of the capital of the Xia Dynasty are also here.

The old man was full of energy, climbed up the high slope, searched, pointed to a ruined wall, and said to Xun Yu: "It is said that this is the place where Xia Jie imprisoned Shang Tang."

Guo Hong brushed off the slush on the broken wall.

Xun Yu leaned over to look at the blurry pattern on it, it really looked like the beast pattern carved in the prison, and he was in awe of Guo Xi who was able to distinguish the ancient monuments from a large piece of ruined walls.

Guo Jia was wrapped in a thick fox fur, holding a hand stove, silently watching the old man pretend to be aggressive.

There is also an ancient building on the high slope, which is also a pavilion and a platform, named Qidiao Pavilion.It is said that it was the place where the kings of the Xia Dynasty sacrificed. In those years, all major national events had to be offered sacrifices and divination. For example, in battles, marriages, punishments, etc., one had to divine God's will first, and burn a tortoise shell to listen to the guidance of the "God". .

Every few hundred years, the Qidiao Pavilion will inevitably collapse, and it has been repaired in all dynasties.The current Qidiao Pavilion was rebuilt with donations from the Xin, Han, Guo, Yin and other Yangzhai clans.During the construction, some tortoise shells and animal bones engraved with runes were also excavated, which were collected by these gentry.Guo Jia knew some strange divination techniques because he was inspired by seeing some tortoise shells in his study when he was a child.

A group of people climbed the mountain and faced the water, nostalgic for the past and the present, and did not drive back to the old house until the sun was westward.

In the side hall, the cook and the maid were shuttling back and forth, preparing dinner for them.

The seats have been paved, and on the lower seat, there are four exquisite gilt-bronze leopards placed on the four corners. This thing is called "Xi Zhen", which is a suppressor to prevent the corners of the mat from rolling over or shifting the mat. .

On the upper seat, Xi Zhen are four white jade lions, exquisitely carved.

A small three-legged copper tripod stands on the carbon basin, and the fresh soup in the tripod is boiling, surrounded by fish slices, meat slices, matsutake mushrooms, mushrooms, bean skins and dipping sauce, as well as various fruits and vegetables, and there are grilling plates and seasonings on the side .Look at the posture, tonight, the bad old man is going to invite everyone to cook hot pot and have barbecue.

Before dinner, Guo Jia and Xun Yu went to the backyard to change their clothes. They didn't need to wear such thick clothes at home.After wandering around for a long time, Guo Jia finally got a chance to be alone. Guo Jia hugged Xun Yu's arm and asked a long-suffering question: "In the study this morning, did uncle make things difficult for you?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "No, Guo Shibo knew about it a long time ago." Xun Yu was moved a long time ago. He always thought that he could restrain his instinct, so he stayed by Guo Jia's side as a friend.However, it turns out that his self-control is not that good.

Guo Jia was suspicious: "I knew it a long time ago? How early?"

It turned out that Guo Jia's summer was so hot that year, the prodigal son was only swimming in a small coat, and invited his friends to fish together.

Xun Yu refused to go into the water, and his expression was abnormal.

When Guo Jia went ashore, a screw was sucked on his leg. Xun Yu rushed over nervously, pulled out the screw, and found traces of being bitten by something that likes to suck blood and parasitizes in the shell, and insisted on giving Guo Jia the screw. medicine, ask the medical staff to take a look.

At that time, Guo Xi felt something was wrong, so he paid extra attention to Xun Yu's every move.So, when Guo Jia was asleep, he saw Xun Yu sitting on the side of the couch in a daze, leaning forward, once very close to Guo Jia, although he didn't move or make any outrageous actions, but the distance was obvious. Beyond the realm of friendship.

As someone who has experienced it, Guo Xi certainly knows what that means.But he thought: A gentleman like Xun Yu should never tell this secret in his whole life.The key point is that Xun Yu's demeanor is peerless, and his nephew prefers beautiful women, so he can't point it out. Once he points it out, it might make his nephew think about beautiful men every day.

So Guo Xi simply pretended to be confused, pretending not to notice.

Guo Jia looked the person in front of him up and down, squinting his eyes slightly, really couldn't see that Wen Ruo had been hiding for so long.

In fact, Guo Xi also raised another very practical question: he wanted to know what plans Xun Yu had in the future, would he marry a wife and have children?
