"Forget it, let's not mention these sad things. Neither of us are that kind of pessimistic character." Chen Xi patted Guo Jia on the back and said.
"Yes, even if that day is coming sooner or later, we at least have the right to drink now and get drunk tomorrow. Hahaha, once again I feel that what you said is still so profound." Guo Jia looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Let's go to my house. I’ll buy you a drink.”
"Okay." Although Chen Xi was a little hesitant, he could also see that Guo Jia's mentality was a little unstable now. Although Chen Xi had always been very reassured about Guo Jia, if this happens occasionally, he should pay attention to it.
"Don't be so reluctant. What your family can make, my family can also make now. I'll treat you to a meal and a drink, and let's talk about business." After all, Guo Jia is a person who understands people's hearts. Naturally, he can tell Chen Xi at a glance. With hesitation in his eyes, he explained with a smile.
"Then, okay, okay." Chen Xi didn't ask what Guo Jia was talking about, nodded and followed. Neither of them took their own carriage.
Chen Xi has not been to Guo Jia's mansion many times. After all, it is very different from when everyone lived very close to each other in Taishan. Now Chen Xi needs to consider the area of their residences. What is the practical significance of building such a big project at once?
Of course, it is still very meaningful for military generals such as Hua Xiong. There is no problem if hundreds of people line up in the yard at home for training.
"Come to think of it, after coming to Yecheng, I came to your house a lot less often. We used to hang out together, and we even went to brothels together." Chen Xi looked at the courtyard, which was much more majestic than the small door of the past, and looked at it. A look of nostalgia could not help but appear on his face.
"I don't know about other changes, but this family has indeed become a lot bigger. It can also be jokingly called a high-ranking family." Guo Jia said with a smile, and then made a gesture of invitation to Chen Xi. At this time, the Guo family's housekeeper had already Open the vermilion front door completely and stand aside to receive it.
"It's too formal, it makes me embarrassed." Chen Xi laughed and scolded, but there was no hesitation in his actions. When they were hanging out together, they stayed at Guo's house many times, but that was all when they were in high office. , in Yecheng...
"Stop talking nonsense." Guo Jia said angrily. He greeted the butler and asked him to prepare a banquet, and then led Chen Xi through the transfer and entered the main hall.
"You have met my son, and I won't introduce it to you." When Guo Yi learned that Guo Jia was back, he rushed out out of habit. But after seeing Chen Xi, he quickly resumed his cautious behavior in front of others and prepared to salute. , while Guo Jia pointed at Guo Yi and said.
"Every time I saw him in the past, he was always polite. I don't want to see him like this again." Chen Xi said with a smile. Every time he saw Guo Yi in the past, he felt that he didn't look like a child. He was so polite that he looked at him. He looked a little weird, but now he seems to have relaxed his temper.
"His mother's education." Guo Jia said calmly, "But I won't interfere with this. When I get older, I will teach it myself. Just call him uncle. There is no need to be formal. When you see him outside, I don't care how you tell me."
"Uncle Chen." Guo Yi obediently saluted Chen Xi. The rolling eyes clearly showed his current mood, and he looked much smarter than the old-fashioned etiquette before, but it was normal, Guo Yi Jia's children, under the influence of such an environment, cannot be stupid.
After all, every move of a child is imitated by his father and mother, and Guo Jia cannot be stupid, so it is normal for normal children to reach this level under such influence.
"It's very magical." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It's a pity that I don't have a gift for you this time."
Guo Jia seemed not to pay attention at all, but the occasional glance down still showed Guo Jia's mood. It was obvious that Guo Jia still cared about his son very much.
"Okay, there's no need to go to your mother's place to learn literacy today. Let's go play." Guo Jia glanced at it and said plainly. Then Guo Yi was happy when he heard this, and quickly stated that he would definitely study hard tomorrow, and then ran away. .
"How is it, my son." Looking at Guo Yi's back, Guo Jia asked with a faint smile. Although it was a question, Chen Xi felt that his answer was almost fixed by this way of asking.
"It's okay. I don't have the ability to see old age at the age of three, but Mr. Yan Fang probably can see more things." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"I've seen it." Guo Jia said calmly. Chen Xi didn't think there was any problem. It was normal. After all, Guo Jia had the intelligence system under Liu Bei's rule, so he didn't even know about this kind of thing. Now that he knew it, , how could we not do such a thing.
Guo Jia is not the kind of completely upright character. It should be said that even though Guo Jia has clear and definite goals, he will never turn a blind eye when he should consider himself. As for, but there is no problem in ensuring your own interests.
"How is it?" Chen Xi asked as he followed Guo Jia to the main hall.
"Son is like father." Guo Jia said with a smile. He knew what kind of person he was, but no matter what, this evaluation was a good evaluation. "Yan Fanggong means that if I am here, Yi'er will naturally become a talented person." , what he is learning is not dead knowledge, but imitating his father."
Chen Xi smiled when he heard this. If this is the case, then the Guo family, not to mention other things, will be absolutely stable for at least the next two generations. With two generations of top resourceful people, no one will dare to look down upon them.
"Sit down. I had a feeling before and pulled you over. I didn't even prepare any food, so I could have food ready at home at any time. Eat something first. Hot food will be served soon." Guo Jia said casually. Sitting on the main seat, they didn't need to pay attention to anything.
Chen Xi laughed and suddenly felt like he was back in Fenggao a few years ago, when he and Guo Jia visited brothels and grabbed food.
After taking two bites of food, both Chen Xi and Guo Jia recovered from their previous disappointment and sadness. After all, both of them are optimistic and not easy to indulge in certain negative emotions.
As the food and drinks gradually arrived, Chen Xi and Guo Jia felt more and more comfortable. It was not until Guo Jia's maid brought a sealed paper bag that Guo Jia got down to business.
"I'm giving this to you. I was supposed to give it to you later, but now that I've called you here, it's better to give it to you now." After Guo Jia sent his maid away, he handed the paper bag directly to Chen Xi.
"What the hell is this?" Chen Xi curiously took the paper bag handed over by Guo Jia, shook it and opened it curiously. However, when he saw the opening content, his pupils suddenly enlarged, and the content inside was even more shocking. Chen Xi became more and more shocked as he watched.
"Are you sure this is true?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia solemnly and asked.
"Is it really unimportant? In fact, the whole thing is not important." Guo Jia reached out and took the paper bag handed to Chen Xi again, then shook it and asked, "Have you finished reading? I've finished reading." It’s ruined, it’s better not to spread this matter.”
"Uh..." Chen Xi hesitated and wanted to say something else, but Guo Jia smiled and threw the entire paper bag into the brazier, and the paper bag burned in front of Chen Xi.
"Hey, you guy!" Chen Xi looked collapsed and rushed to the brazier, "If you burn this thing, what will you do later? This is a very important material. God knows when it will be useful!"
Guo Jia stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Xi directly, "Okay, you can do it. This thing can only be burned. We just pretend that we don't know anything and ask for mercy. And don't you still want to overturn the case? Just a literary You won’t be able to pass that level of Confucianism.”
"I'm very curious now, how did Wenru do it in the first place." Chen Xi pressed his temples and felt a headache as he looked at the scattered information that had begun to curl and burn.
"Following the trend, and what Wenru said at the time was true. He didn't do it. What he said was so good, a true lie!" Guo Jia gave Chen Xi a thumbs up and said, "That's it. Let's go over and let this matter end with the result we have decided. After all, it is already an ironclad case."
Chen Xi was silent, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, burning the brazier, but the burnt ashes were not blown away. Pieces of burnt yellow paper rolled into the brazier, and only the fragmented pieces were seen. With the names of Zhong Ji, Li You, Emperor Min of the Han Dynasty and others, they were completely turned into ashes.
"Is this really good?" Chen Xi sighed and said.
"Seeking benevolence will lead to benevolence. This is also a good result." Guo Jia toasted and said calmly, "If you really want to know more detailed things, you can go to that person and arrange people for us to govern, and make a detailed and True identity, this is not something ordinary people can do.”
"Are you a scholar?" Chen Xi held the wine cup and sighed, "Let's stop here. The regency of the eldest princess is a good result. It's better not to make any more mistakes. And as you said, even if we find some There are clues, and as long as the person involved doesn't speak up, Wen Ru has already compiled a resume and created a network of contacts that can't be revealed."
"It's been a year. It's probably too late to say anything now." Guo Jia also raised his glass and said, "But I think this is a good result and there is nothing dissatisfied about it. As for why the investigated things should be given to You are probably unwilling to lose."
"Eat, eat, forget about this matter after eating. There is no need. The resources and planning of both parties were different from the very beginning. It is normal for you to lose to the other party. In fact, if you really want to say it, the current result is not bad, at least compared to Young Emperor It's more acceptable when it's done." Chen Xi said with a faint smile after finishing the glass of wine.
