Chapter 40: Marriage is a Grave

  "Guo Fengxiao, is there anything else you'd like to say?" Cai Yong asked again, with a completely judicial air.

  Guo Jia sighed and shook his head, saying:

  "No."

  "Nothing?" Cai Yong was taken aback, probably not expecting Guo Jia to react this way. After all, most people would at least loudly defend themselves in such a situation, even if it's completely useless.

  "Yes, whatever the teacher says." Guo Jia said with his head down, looking like he had completely resigned himself to his fate.

  Guo Jia's reaction made Cai Yong feel a bit embarrassed, knowing that Guo Jia was innocent. How could he continue to pressure Guo Jia in this situation?

  Maybe it's a bit abrupt, but since Guo Jia has already acknowledged it, Cai Yong won't say anything more.

  "Alright, it's good that men take responsibility. You gather your thoughts and come out to have a good talk with me." Cai Yong said, looking at Cai Wenji who had not lifted her head from the corner of the bed since the beginning, and sighed, "Alas, our family is unfortunate."

  Having said that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

  Cai Yan's whole body shook, and for a moment, she cried even louder.

  On the surface, Cai Yong seemed to be talking about Cai Yan's misfortune, but in fact, Cai Yan was very clear that her father was extremely disappointed in her for doing such a shameless thing!

  "I'm sorry..." Cai Yan whispered, sobbing.

  “。。。。。。。”

  Kuo Chia did not speak, stood up, put on his outer garment, and walked out unsteadily: Tomorrow that little girl, it seems she has also sold me out. Alas, the family is unfortunate...

  At this time, Guo Jia accepted the fact so easily because in his subconscious mind, it was possible to marry many wives in ancient times. So even if he married another woman he didn't plan to, it wasn't a big deal.

  So Guo Jia is now simply unable to face the fact that he has to get married so soon, and he doesn't have any psychological preparation at all.

  However, at this time, Guo Jia obviously overlooked one point, that is, there can only be one legitimate wife! Maybe he will marry a few more wives he doesn't like in the future, but now, this first one, and it's his teacher's daughter, that's completely different!

  ······

  "Marriage is the tomb of love!" Guo Jia shook his head and walked out of Cai's mansion, sighing endlessly. Some things had already been settled. "Tomorrow, can you tell me what you were doing at that time?" Guo Jia asked.

  Tomorrow, he lowered his head and didn't dare look straight at Guo Jia, answering in a low voice.

  "Tomorrow is just a little maid, young master has not instructed, naturally dare not take the liberty of acting on her own."

  "So you're just going to let them do as they please with me?!" Guo Jia sneered.

  "Actually, Master, Miss Cai Yan is quite all right, and I think you originally liked her too. I think there must be some misunderstanding in between." Ming Er hastily said.

  "How did you know I also liked her originally?" Guo Jia couldn't help but ask.

  "So I think there must have been some misunderstanding behind this, which made you, young master, no longer like Miss Cai Yan." Ming Er explained.

  "Ah, forget it, these things are no longer important. I'll just go drink instead. Marriage is the tomb of love! ~" Guo Jia stumbled forward, already drunk before he even started drinking.

  "Guo Jia! You've finally come out, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The wild girl living outside the city appeared in front of Guo Jia again, still holding a skinned and cleaned animal carcass.

  Guo Jia didn't react at all and continued walking forward with a wobbly gait, while the little maid was startled.

  "What's this?!" He hastily hid on the other side.

  "Yesterday I was lucky and caught a rabbit, so I came to find you to eat it together!" The woman excitedly shook the wild rabbit in her hand.

  Guo Jia did not respond, and the woman continued to say,

  "Ah, I've figured out who Qu Yuan is now! He seems to be quite famous among you people from the Central Plains, it's just a pity that he died a bit too early."

  "Cough, cough." The little maid almost choked, but Guo Jia still didn't have any reaction.

  "But you're really amazing, I found out that none of those people knew yesterday was Qu Yuan's birthday, only you did. Haha, it was me who told them!" The woman burst into laughter.

  The people next to Ming'er couldn't bear to listen anymore, but Guo Jia didn't know because he was completely drunk the day before. Yesterday, the whole city of Luoyang set off a wave of mourning for Qu Yuan.

  Needless to say, the one who started it all was Guo Jia's sentence "lie". With the head of the Wang family and this wild girl spreading it among the people, the news of Qu Yuan's birthday instantly swept the entire capital!

  "Hey, what's going on with him?"

  Guo Jia remained silent and unresponsive, until finally Wild Child couldn't take it anymore and dragged Ming Er to ask him questions.

  Tomorrow shook her head, she has been "warned" now, and without Guo Jia's permission, how dare she speak randomly.

  "Alright, alright, alright." The wild girl swung her hand, "Look at this! I didn't forget today, and here I've brought you some flowers again!"

  He stretched out his hand and handed the fresh flowers in front of Guo Jia, at this moment, Guo Jia finally came to a reaction, turned his head to take a look, and suddenly blinked.

  Is it dandelion again?

  "How about it, as beautiful as yesterday?" The wild girl said with a smile, and another kind of beautiful wild flower appeared on her head.

  If she was innocent yesterday, then this girl is absolutely intentional today!

  Guo Jia was too lazy to talk more with the woman, and he didn't have the mood to argue with her about anything. Without a word, he continued walking forward with his head down.

  "Hey, hey, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you have to buy flowers? Aren't you going to send flowers today?" the woman called out from behind.

  Guo Jia shook his head.

  "Tomb, tomb..."

  "What's the meaning of tomb? Are you familiar with Qu Yuan or something? Hey, why are you ignoring me?! You're really an idiot!" The woman finally couldn't take it anymore, directly threw the flowers on the ground, stomped her foot, and then turned around and ran away.

  At this time, Ming Er finally opened his mouth and asked,

  "Young master, aren't you going to the Situ Manor today?"

  "What's the matter? Sending out invitations? Tell Diao Chan that I'm getting married?" Guo Jia said irritably, continuing to walk towards the "free cafeteria", "Tomb, tomb~"

  She shook her head behind him, she really couldn't understand, was getting married really such a terrible thing? Isn't it usually said to be a happy event?

  ·······

  Arrived at the "dining hall"

  Kuo Chia's whole body suddenly stiffened, earlier when he was outside, he heard that it was very quiet in here, Kuo Chia thought it was just like usual, not many people. He didn't expect that as soon as he came in, he found out that the place was packed with people, literally a full house.

  Moreover, today even Yuan Shao, who is known for being heard but not seen, is present. With so many people gathered together, there is no joyful laughter, it's clear that they are engaged in a fierce battle of wits!

  Guo Jia suddenly remembered that just now outside, he seemed to have seen a few people guarding the gate, probably recognizing him as Guo Jia, so they didn't stop him.

  Filial piety, over here." Guo Jia had just seen Xun Yu and the others when he was pulled by Guo Tu to another camp.

  As soon as he sat down, Guo Jia looked at Xing Bi beside him and his eyes lit up instantly. Especially since Xing Bi still had that anxious look on his face, it made Guo Jia feel like he had found a companion.

  "We are all fellow sufferers in this mortal coil!" Guo Jia patted Xin Pi's shoulder, "Little P, brother, don't you feel that marriage is a tomb too?!"

  "Yes, Filial Piety, you've come at just the right time. Help me think of a name for my future child."

  "#￥@%#￥%@#……" Guo Jia suddenly became wide-eyed.
