Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

After all, it was the new husband, Guo Jia, who knew how to love someone better. He stopped Si Qi, who bowed his head to peel the walnuts, and said that the flowers in the yard outside had already bloomed one after another, so it would be good to let her go out and wander around as she pleases.

Guo Jia's wife died early, and there were only him and his son Guo Yi in the house.Guo Jia himself is not the kind of person who cares about ostentation and loves to enjoy himself. The number of servants in his family is very limited, which is far from the staffing of Liu Yun's study.

Si Qi walked all the way, only met a few young book boys, and didn't see any maidservants.

Not long after Si Qi walked out of the courtyard, he saw a four or five-year-old child walking briskly towards this side under the care of a wet nurse.

The wet nurse cast a puzzled look at Si Qi in front, and the maid Wei Zi, who was following behind Si Qi, nodded at the wet nurse and introduced: "Our little lady is a girl from His Royal Highness Li Wang's house, and now she is also Mr. Guo's female disciple."

Thinking about saving trouble, he named the two later maidservants Wei Zi and Yao Huang with the peony flower name.

It's a pity that these days people are used to addressing each other with "Ah" plus a word in their names, so the two maidservants were called "Ah Zi" and "Ah Huang" respectively.

The two names originally sounded quite elegant and charming, but now they are called like this, which makes Si Qi feel a little "fate makes people".

That young gentleman is Guo Jia's youngest son, Guo Yi. After hearing that this elder sister is a girl from Prince Li's mansion, he straightened his posture and greeted Si Qi.

The young gentleman who is as tender as a glutinous rice dumpling, has exquisite and beautiful facial features, and speaks articulately. He bows to her like a little adult and calls her "sister", which makes Si Qi really like it.

After turning around, Si Qi had a general understanding of the layout and structure attached to Guo Jia, and even met Guo Yi by accident, which was a worthwhile trip.

After the Yidaizhao incident, Liu Bei fled in a hurry, killed Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and took care of Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao was very angry after receiving the news, and planned to send troops to attack Liu Bei in the near future.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu had to go to Cao Cao to discuss matters in the afternoon, and Si Qi and Liu Yun didn't stay in the mansion too much.Si Qi finished visiting the garden and Liu Yun finished his tea, so they drove back home.

Today's Jingyuan also had a visitor, and the visitor was Liu Yun's distant cousin and old friend Liu Ye.

Liu Ye is also one of the clan members of the Han Dynasty. According to the genealogy, he is the descendant of Fuling King Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

Although Liu Ye is inferior to Liu Yun in terms of status, he is much higher than Liu Yun in terms of fame. It is said that this person has a clear vision and judges things like a god, and is known as a "talent for the world".

In the past few years, Liu Ye had been fighting the world with Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, and saw through the tricks of local Sun Ce. Later, he defected to Cao Cao with his old master and became an important adviser under Cao Cao.

Liu Ye and Liu Yun were both clan relatives, and they had been rescued by Liu Yun in the early years, and their relationship with Liu Yun had always been unusual.

Liu Ye brought his family to visit. Liu Yun thought they were all relatives of his own family, so he called Si Qi, Liu Heng, and Liu Cheng out to meet the guests. Concubine Zhang was in a good mood today, so she asked someone to open Fuyun Pavilion. A banquet was held in honor of Liu Ye and his wife Meng Shi.

Si Qi changed into a new set of clothes, and followed Mrs. Zhang to Fuyunxuan for a banquet.

Liu Ye has been out with Liu Xun for the past few years, and in Si Qi's view, he is not familiar with him, and the frequency of Liu Bei's appearance in Jingyuan is much lower than that of Liu Bei.

Liu Ye has a handsome face. He has traveled a lot in the past few years, and there is a bit of vicissitudes on his face, but his charm is not diminished at all.

Liu Ye, like Liu Yun, was a good talker. During the dinner, Liu Ye kept talking to Mrs. Zhang Tai as a nephew, flattering Mrs. Zhang's face.

After the banquet was over, Mrs. Zhang saw that Liu Yun had used a lot of wine, so she asked Zhuhong to fetch water to wash his face, and asked Zhucui to serve sober soup for the king.

Liu Yun leaned back on the couch and asked Zhu Hong to wash his face, and explained to Zhang Shi why Liu Ye came today.

Cao Cao will take Liu Ye on a long trip in a few days, and his wife, Mrs. Meng, has to ask his mother to take care of him.

Mrs. Zhang had a good impression of Liu Ye, and Mrs. Meng was also a quiet and courteous person, so she agreed without thinking.

Si Qi felt that something was wrong just now, he only felt that Liu Ye was too attentive to Zhang Shi, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Si Qi asked Liu Yun curiously: "I heard that my uncle just returned to Beijing a few years ago, so is he going to travel again?"

Liu Yun said: "This time Meng De leads troops to march eastward, and Zi Yang will follow him in the future, and I'm afraid it will take another few months to go back."

Si Qi realized later, since Liu Ye was going to go out with Cao Cao this time, Guo Jia, as one of Cao Cao's most relied on counselors, would follow Cao Cao's eastward expedition in the future.

It was only her first day as a teacher, did the master go to war with his lord?

Doesn't she mean to be lonely?

Facts have proved that a small person like Si Qi can never understand the big guy's mind.

Within a few days, Cao Cao ordered Qi soldiers to go east to fight Liu Bei, and left Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others to stay in Xudu.

It is said that Cao Cao did not go to the palace to bid farewell to the emperor before leaving. He should still be afraid that something will happen again like that on the first day of the first lunar month.

Si Qi remembered that there was a saying in history that Cao Cao never went to see the emperor again after this incident.

Liu Bei has defected to Yuan Shao now, and after beating Liu Bei, beating Yuan Shao is inevitable.

In this way, the battle line will be longer, and the time to leave will be longer.Therefore, before Cao Cao left, he took Xun Yu, Xun You, Liu Ye and other advisers, as well as several generals such as Xu Chu and Zhang Liao, but left Guo Jia and others in Xudu.

Cao Cao's decision is not difficult to understand. It is important to go out to fight, but Xuchang is his base after all.Liu Xie became more honest after the Yidai Zhao incident, but the relationship here is complicated, too many clan relatives and old ministers of the Han Dynasty are eyeing him, so he must pay more attention to it.

It is not easy to start a business, so keeping it is very important. Guo Jia has always been reliable, quick-witted and fickle, and now he is on good terms with Liu Yun, so it is perfect to keep him in Beijing.

Mrs. Wei, the husband of the two gentlemen in the house, has something to do at home, and classes are temporarily suspended for three days. Siqi's husband, Guo Jia, has been busy in the yamen for the past few days, and has no time to take care of this female disciple.

And Liu Yun was only a member of the court every day. His identity was placed there. Even if he did not appear in the early court, no one would say anything, so he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the husband.

After all, Liu Yun was different from Mr. Liu, and there was no way to teach. After half an hour, he talked about the incident of the belt edict from the "Mozi" textbook, and asked the three children their opinions on this matter.

Most people don't discuss these issues at home, and even Mr. Wei can avoid these things during the teaching process.

But Liu Yun felt that his family was in a vortex, and it would not be a bad thing for the children to learn more about it, avoid risks in advance, and enhance their emergency response capabilities.

Cao Cao's style of doing things is neat and tidy, never procrastinating, Dong Cheng and others are also dealt with very cleanly, even Dong Guiren, who is pregnant with a dragon fetus, cannot escape bad luck.

As the eldest brother, Liu Heng was naturally the first to stand up and answer his father's question.

Liu Xie usually treats Liu Heng as a cousin very well, and Liu Heng, as the eldest son of Liu Yun, is also considered a leader among the Han family clan of this generation. While not agreeing, there is also a faint worry, worrying that Cao Cao's power will be too great in the future, which will affect not only the emperor, but also the entire Han Dynasty.

And Liu Cheng's thinking is more simple. If Dong Cheng's action is successful this time, will the court experience another turmoil, and will the people's originally slightly stable life be broken again.After all, grandma kept saying that when Liu Hong was in power, their family's life was far worse than it is now. If the current balance is broken by Dong Cheng and others again, no one can predict whether the situation of the mansion will be good or bad.

Liu Yun couldn't help but nodded, and seeing that the two sons expressed similar points of view, he turned his head to the young girl Si Qi: "What about you, Ah Ying? Do you think Meng De's move is too much?"

Si Qi thought for a while, and said: "If I were Duke Cao, after going through these things, I might not be as terrific as he did, but I can understand his anger. From another perspective, if the winner this time is Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others believe that Cao Cao's wife, children and family members will not be any better than Dong Cheng's father and daughter."

Besides, Cao Cao was not a person with the character of a holy father. If Dong Guiren's child is born and sits on the throne in the future, there will be another disturbance in the future.

Liu Yun nodded and talked about Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition again.

Liu Yun has a good relationship with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and he is also neutral about Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition to Liu Bei, but he can't tell the children clearly, so he skipped this discussion and talked about whether the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would be possible. It will explode, the question of who will lose and who will win.

Mr. Wei still admires Yuan Shao very much, and Liu Heng and Liu Cheng also heard him tell a lot about Yuan Shao's deeds-the fourth generation and third son of the Yuan family, a real family, Yuan Shao was young and talented, when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao is still the leader, regardless of Liu Yun, Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they all work under him.

Moreover, Cao Cao is indeed inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of military strength. Both Liu Heng and Liu Cheng agreed that if there was a war between the two sides, Yuan Shao should have the upper hand, and the worst would be a tie.

Liu Yun also agreed. This time Meng De was indeed in a hurry. Although he would not be defeated, it should be more difficult for him to win.If Yuan Shao finally overwhelmed Cao Cao in this war, I wonder if it would change the court structure.

The implication is not too optimistic about Cao Cao.

This battle is the famous Battle of Guandu in history. As a time-traveling woman who is relatively familiar with this period of history, Siqi feels that it is necessary to inoculate her family members to prevent them from making any wrong judgments and affecting the family in the future. the future of man.

Si Qi said tactfully to Liu Yun: "No one can say for sure what happens on the battlefield, maybe Mr. Cao will win. Besides, I heard my uncle say before that whether you can win a war depends mainly on the soldiers who lead you." Compared with Yuan Shao, whom I have never met, I am more optimistic about Duke Cao.”

After Liu Yun heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Si Qi. After being speechless for a while, he finally nodded slightly.

Xu Shi suffered a lot in the previous Yidai Zhao incident. After Cao Cao left, Liu Xie became quieter.

All the officials in the court also performed their own duties. Without the speculation and rivalry before, the implementation of political affairs went smoothly. Guo Jia and other Cao Cao's subordinates who stayed in Xudu were a little more free than before.

Half a month after Si Qi became a teacher, I finally saw the second side of Master Cheap.

Si Qi got dressed early in the morning and got in the car to go to Guo's residence. When she got to the study room where she was teaching, Guo Jia was still in the yamen.

Guo Yi, who stayed at home, still remembered Si Qi, and when he heard that the good-looking elder sister he met that day was coming, he came to meet her in the study and brought her some food.

The last time we met was in a hurry, now that the two of them sat down, Si Qi began to look at Guo Yi seriously.

As a child who is only four or five years old, although the material of Guo Yi's clothes is not bad, it does not match his age, and he is a bit old-fashioned.

The material of Guo Yi's clothes is not soft enough, and the embroidery thread is not exquisite, but both Zhang and Liu Yun are used to enjoying it, and there is no shortage of all kinds of good things in the house. It is almost the pinnacle of productivity in this era. This set of clothes on Guo Yi is very different from the clothes Si Qi wore when he was a child.

Guo Yi brought vegetable cakes, bean soup and pickles to entertain the guests.

Although in this era, most people eat similar things for breakfast, Si Qi has not eaten such a simple breakfast for many years.

She came out with cakes in the morning, even if she didn't have breakfast, she still couldn't eat it.

And Guo Yi is now growing up, especially when it comes to meals.

Si Qi remembered that Jing Yuan was not too far from Guo's house, and judging by the situation, Guo Jia would not be able to come back for a while, so he ordered Luo Shi, the servant who followed out today, to go back and get the cooked Put the chicken soup in a crock pot, pass the side dishes through the hot water and pack them in a box, and then take two handfuls of freshly made fine noodles and bring them over as they are.

After bringing the food box, bring the fine noodles to Mr.'s house in boiling water, don't cook them in advance, otherwise the noodles won't taste good if they stick together.

And when Guo Jia came back from the yamen, he didn't see Si Qi in the study.The book boy who stayed in the study as the gatekeeper reported back that the girl is now in Xiao Langjun's room.

When Guo Jia went to Guo Yi's room, he saw Guo Yi and Si Qi sitting there eating chicken shredded noodles. In the palace, the dishes are very different from the side dishes they usually eat at home. Not to mention the taste is good, the color is also bright.

Guo Yi was obviously very happy to eat, and called him "Father" with a small face, and asked Si Qi, can Father sit down and eat together.

Si Qi had almost used it up. Seeing Guo Jia's arrival, he stood up with a calm expression, and extended an invitation to him: "Of course. I don't know when the sir will come back. There are still half of the noodles in the kitchen that have not been cooked. I heard that the sir I'm in a hurry to go out in the morning, so it's useless to come and eat, how about sitting down and having a bowl of shredded chicken noodles?"

Guo Jia's thoughts seemed to be still in the yamen, and he couldn't help but repeat Si Qi's words: "This is...noodles?"

Si Qi said "hmm".

In fact, the noodles in the Han Dynasty were not called by this name, but were called "soup cakes".

This name also sounded appropriate, after she said it a few times, Zhang Shi, Liu Yun and others followed suit.

Under the kind invitation of the two children, Guo Jia ate a bowl of chicken noodle like a philanthropist, and also praised it greatly.

Si Qi also became happy: "It's just right, when I come to study at Mr.'s house in the future, I will bring the food with me."

Otherwise, she might have to eat vegetable cakes and bean soup with Guo Yi, she really can't do it!

Guo Yi has never invited a special teacher to give lectures like Liu Heng and the others. Most of the time, Guo Jia himself goes to the battle to guide his son's homework.Now there is one more Siqi among the students, but it's just to say a few more words, it's not too tiring, so Guo Jia caged the two little ones together for class.

Guo Jia didn't know Siqi's homework level, so she asked her about her homework first.

After questioning, Guo Jia found that Siqi has a solid foundation and a good memory. He can basically repeat the book after reading it three times. He is a talented and intelligent student.

It was rare that this time was not busy, so Guo Jia took as much time as possible to teach every day, and taught Guo Yi and Si Qi consecutively for half a month.

After half a month, Guo Jia found that this female disciple was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, but was most interested in government affairs, military use, and land policy. She was very different from ordinary girls.

In the middle of the class that day, Guo Jia had to go out temporarily and threw a question to Si Qi before school was over.

"Aying, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future...or what kind of person do you want to be?"

Si Qi was stunned for a moment.

This is the first time she has seriously thought about this issue after traveling through so many years.

In the past, she always felt that she was young and had a lot of time to grow, so she always remained a salty fish, and she could avoid some things that adults need to consider.

Now, in a blink of an eye, she has grown to seven years old in this world. At the age when red scholars presume that Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, even Zhang Shi and Liu Yun no longer simply treat her as a child. They really need to think about it. What should be done better in the future.

Si Qi answered with a sad face.

After two lifetimes, she was not good at writing, yet she had to complete the after-school homework left by Mr. Xin, which was an essay on a topic—an ancient version of "My Dream".

==

Cao Cao led his troops to conquer Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was quickly defeated without any suspense.

After Liu Bei's defeat, Yuan Shao followed up with an article accusing Cao Cao of "hiding evil intentions, suppressing Zhongliang, and intending to overthrow the Han Dynasty". Cao Cao was not polite to Yuan Shao, and turned his head north to attack Yuan Shao. The battle between the two sides officially started .

Guo Jia was temporarily called away that day because of this incident. At this time, he needed to come forward to dispatch food and grass, and it would take at least more than a month before he came back.

And Si Qi also had enough time to figure out what he wanted to do.

Si Qi was originally a character who knew the fate of heaven and fate. After timetraveling, with Liu Yun and Mrs. Zhang supporting her head, she was also happy to be at leisure, letting herself become a child of six or seven years old, and be a salted fish with peace of mind.

Maybe it was because of the topic composition that put her under a little pressure. This morning, Siqi felt a little sore in her throat after getting up. Mrs. Zhang invited a medical lady to see her, and found out that she was really angry.

In the previous life, when she caught a cold, her grandfather would make rock sugar tremella pear soup for her, and her father would also specially make some easy-to-digest porridge and side dishes.

In today's era, vegetable oil is not yet popular, and dishes are mainly cooked in cold salad, grilling and steaming.

Today, the morning food that Ayu brought to Siqi was porridge, millet noodles, wheat noodles and pancakes baked with wild vegetables. Mrs. Zhang took pity on her that she was sick and could not eat as usual, so he specially gave her a piece of marinated chicken against the doctor's order It's cooked tenderly, but now Si Qi doesn't have the slightest interest in this kind of grilled food.

The productivity at this time is really not comparable to that of later generations. If Siqi were to talk about his current dream, he would be able to eat enough specialties and snacks from the eight major cuisines, have endless desserts and candies, wear lighter and more beautiful clothes, and The windows in the dormitory are replaced with glass with better light transmission and wind and rain protection, more exquisite porcelain can be used in daily life, and antibiotics can protect life safety at critical times...

In other words, she wanted a better life and was willing to fight for it.
