Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 7, Master and apprentice make tea and discuss the world

"Is Fengxiao really not planning to go to Jizhou with his family?"

After several people finished talking, Guo Jia and Guo Tu strolled in the back garden of the academy.

The cold winter is coming, the wind and snow are raging, and all the flowers, plants and trees have already withered, which symbolizes that the old year is coming to an end and a new year is about to begin again, and the cycle begins again.

The change of spring, summer, autumn and winter has never changed, but people have changed one batch after another.

Guo Jia was noncommittal and said with interest: "I'm curious, what is the purpose of the family moving to Jizhou?"

"Of course it's about future development."

"But because of the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke?"

Guo Jia roughly guessed the answer based on the history he knew. Later Guo Tu was Yuan Shao's adviser.

Guo Tu looked at him deeply and sighed: "No wonder my father is full of praise for Feng Xiao. My brother's intelligence is beyond my reach."

Obviously, he was blaming this on someone's wisdom.

Guo Jia was startled when he heard this. This had nothing to do with intelligence, it was purely an advantage brought by God's perspective.

However, he still did not deny that this was a beautiful misunderstanding and let it continue.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Do you know why the aristocratic family can survive for a long time?"

"Appreciate further details."

"Eggs are never put in one basket."

Guo Tu suddenly understood.

The elder brother is showing that he will not go to Jizhou, nor will he seek refuge with the Yuan family.

This is also a common investment method used by aristocratic families. Based on the current situation, it is not difficult to see that the Han Dynasty has accumulated a lot of trouble, so they have begun to prepare for a rainy day.

This kind of two-sided investment was also to ensure the probability of success, and there were many examples later.

For example, later Xun Yu and Xun You joined Cao Cao, while their kinsman Xun Kan joined Yuan Shao.

Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei, Zhuge Jin was in Soochow, but Zhuge Dan defected to Cao Wei. This practice was not uncommon.

Guo Tu cupped his hands and said, "I already know what you mean, brother, and I will tell the family master for you."

"Brother, farewell."

Guo Jia nodded slightly: "Take care."

Both of them knew that they would not see each other again for a long time after this separation, at least not until after that turmoil.

Guo Jia watched Guo Tu leave and murmured: "What role does the family play in this turmoil?"

At this time a student hurried over.

"Fengxiao, the teacher wants to see you."

"Um."

Guo Jia's heart moved. Was his teacher also involved?

Sima Hui, Sima clan... is there any connection between the two?

——

Empty bamboo house, warm water for tea.

This bamboo house is empty and looks more like a tea room than a study room. However, in fact, this is Sima Hui's study room.

Scholars pursue state of mind and, in order to demonstrate their talent of photographic memory, feel that placing books in the study is a denial of their memory.

Sima Hui was making tea, with a serious look on his face, as if he was creating a perfect work of art.

He was about half a hundred years old, but he was still full of energy. If it weren't for the hair on his temples, he would look no different from a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Guo Jiadu walked into the room and said respectfully: "The student has met the teacher."

In this era, great emphasis was placed on the relationship between teachers and students, and respect for teachers and ethics. The Yuan family, which has students and former officials all over the world, is the best example.

In other words, if your teachers cannot tolerate you, then you will have a difficult time in the scholarly world.

"Fengxiao is here, please take a seat." Sima Hui raised his hand slightly to indicate, with a warm smile on his face.

He has always been approachable and polite even to his own students, so he has a good reputation among scholars.

Guo Jia nodded slightly, then walked over to sit in front of the teacher. However, he was still not used to the kneeling etiquette of this era. He felt uncomfortable as time went by, so he repeatedly skipped classes. All this had nothing to do with the pretty widow.

"But have you met Liu Xuande?" Sima Hui said, pushing a bowl of teacup in front of Guo Jia.

He is indeed a well-known gentleman among scholars. Looking at the world at that time, I am afraid that this is the only teacher who makes tea for his students.

"I've seen it. Liu Bei wants to recruit students. What does the teacher think of this person?" Guo Jia took a sip of hot tea and secretly wondered about his teacher's intentions.

According to the historical process, his "junior brothers" joined Liu Bei's account, such as Xu Shu, Zhuge Kongming...

Sima Hui muttered: "This man is quite heroic."

Hero actually refers to a hero.

But at this moment, the Han Dynasty is still in a situation where the world is at peace, so it is obviously inappropriate to use the word "hero".

Guo Jia smiled and said: "It seems that the teacher has already seen him."

Sima Hui nodded slightly and said with a smile: "This person shows me his knowledge with the power of Taiping Dao. He probably hopes that I will "sell" a few students to him."

"Will the teacher sell it?"

"I never make decisions for my students."

The two looked at each other and smiled. They were not like masters and apprentices, but more like friends chatting and laughing.

Sima Hui's meaning is already obvious. I am only responsible for cultivating talents. As for where they end up, it depends on their own wishes.

Sima Hui continued: "In a few days, I will go south to Jingxiang. I called you here to tell you that you have left the army."

"Yeah." Guo Jia nodded in agreement and said jokingly: "Teacher, it's better to avoid disaster as early as possible."

"You prodigal son!"

Sima Hui tried to strike, but Guo Jia dodged him first.

"Teacher, a gentleman talks with his words but never with his hands."

"An ancient saying goes, a filial son will emerge from a stick."

Guo Jia:……

It's true that a high-ranking official can crush someone to death. It's only natural for a master to beat his disciple.

Sima Hui suddenly sighed and said sadly: "Actually, even if I don't leave, I believe you can hold on to Yingchuan."

This is the self-confidence of a great master. His students are all outstanding, especially Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others in front of him. They will all shine in the future era of strife, otherwise his years of cultivation will be in vain.

"Then why did the teacher leave?"

"I'm tired. I don't want to see this worldly fight anymore, so why not hide far away and have some peace and quiet."

Guo Jia said seriously: "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Students are sure that the land of Jingxiang will not be peaceful in the future."

Sima Hui savored these words several times and said with a smile: "Your words are quite appropriate, but by then, I must be a withered skeleton."

"No, Teacher's body has always been strong and he will live a long life..."

Sima Hui looked pleased when he heard Guo Jia's words. This student had not taught him in vain. However, Guo Jia's next words made him instantly break his skills.

"Lian Po is still brave enough at seventy. I believe that even if the teacher reaches that age, he will be able to control ten women at night."

"Bastard thing."

Even with Sima Hui's Qi-nurturing skills, he was so angry when he heard this that he blew his beard and stared, chasing Guo Jia and beating him.

What an unworthy disciple, how dare you ruin my reputation!

The two masters and disciples, with your words and my words, have roughly outlined the trend of the Han Dynasty in the next few decades.

Taiping Road is the beginning.

Many people knew this, but the emperor of Han Dynasty in Luoyang City did not see it. This was the tragedy of the dynasty and the beginning of the turmoil of the era.
