Chapter 67 The Wedding Day

  Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fengxiao, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you as your brother, but since you're getting married tomorrow, let's just avoid any more trouble today, shall we?"

  "Brother Ah Man, this is not right." Guo Jia turned around and hooked Cao Cao's neck, explaining, "It's precisely because I'm getting married tomorrow and starting a completely new life. So these past things must be thoroughly resolved today, all troubles must be thrown behind, and cannot be brought into marriage!"

  "....Alright, Xiaoyou always manages to find all sorts of reasons." Cao Cao nodded reluctantly in agreement.

  Guo Jia patted Cao Cao's shoulder,

  "Don't worry, Ah Dun, it's impossible for us to fight again this time. I just went to scare him."

  "I hope so." Cao Cao shook his head and sighed.

  ······

  Outside Chen's mansion,

  After what happened last time, Guo Jia was probably already remembered by the people of Chen Fu's household, so Guo Jia and Ming Er stayed not far away, letting Cao Cao go up alone to negotiate.

  "Master." Ming'er whispered beside him, "That imperial edict should be directly given to you, right?!"

  To know that in the eyes of the little maid, Guo Jia is an emperor with "interpersonal relationships", and had just gone to the palace twice not long ago, so this imperial edict should be for Guo Jia's face, rather than Cai Yong's face.

  "Shh!" Guo Jia put his index finger on his lips, "You just need to understand this in your heart, got it?"

  "Mmm!" Ming Er nodded vigorously, his face barely concealing his excited expression. Indeed, the young master of their own household was quite formidable!

  On the other hand

  Cao Cao had already begun talking with the servants of the Chen household.

  "How is Brother Chen's situation now? I am his friend and happened to be passing by, wanting to visit him."

  "Alas." The other person shook his head and sighed.

  "What?! I heard it wasn't that serious!" Cao Cao was shocked, could Guo Jia's physique really beat someone into a severe injury? Then how weak did Chen Qun have to be to not withstand the wind?

  "Oh, you're referring to that incident. It was just a superficial wound, nothing serious at first. But the young master suddenly caught a cold today and his condition worsened. He's been resting at home for days and hasn't gone out." The other person explained.

  "I see, it really scared me. I hope Brother Chen can recover soon." Cao Cao nodded and thought to himself that maybe he should stop for now, after all, the other person was already seriously ill, and continuing to intimidate him would be too cruel.

  But as it happened, Cao Cao was just about to take his leave when Chen Qun, who had been strolling idly in the mansion, walked over to this side. The attendants saw him and immediately waved their hands and shouted loudly.

  "Master, some friends have come to visit you!"

  Cao Cao was taken aback, he didn't know Chen Qun at all, it's hard to get off a tiger's back, and now it's not possible to turn around and run away either.

  Of course, it's not just Cao Cao, Chen Qun is also in a state of confusion.

  However, since he heard that Cao Cao had come to visit him out of courtesy, Chen Qun slowly walked out and came before Cao Cao, asking:

  "I don't know..."

  "Cough! Cough!"

  Cao Cao naturally knew what Chen Qun was going to ask, and hastily coughed to interrupt Chen Qun's words, then used his eyes to gesture towards Guo Jia.

  Chen Qun turned his head and looked back, as soon as he saw Guo Jia, he was greatly shocked and secretly thought that he had been tricked.

  He then turned around and quickly ran back to the mansion without saying another word.

  As a result, accidentally tripped and fell.

  Bang!

  Bang!

  "Ah!"

  It's worth noting that people who are seriously ill usually have heavier footsteps and softer bodies, not to mention those who are originally weak and book-smart. In ancient times, the main gate of a mansion always had a high threshold...

  Not far away, Ming Er could no longer bear to watch and subconsciously covered her eyes.

  Guo Jia beside him couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

  "Ouch ouch ouch, looks like that was a pretty bad fall! Are you okay? I haven't even said anything yet, do you want me to call the doctor?"

  ······

  On the wedding day, it was bustling and exciting, dizzying and overwhelming, that's how Guo Jia felt.

  It's incredibly busy, all the guests need to be received and entertained by Guo Jia in person, and most of them are people he doesn't know. He wants to have a good chat with familiar people like Huang Chengyan, but can't find the opportunity.

  Tomorrow, the little maid was sent by Guo Jia to take care of Cai Yan inside. Erzi this big blockhead basically doesn't know anything and can only make things more troublesome with his help. Fortunately, there is still Da Ge's help, so Guo Jia won't make mistakes in his busy work.

  Not far away, looking at the big red dress, busy Guo Jia, Huang Chengyan's heart was filled with a mix of emotions, probably similar to the feeling of giving away his daughter, both happy and heartbroken.

  "Uncle Huang?" A voice sounded from beside him.

  "Huh?" Huang Chengyan came back to his senses, looked aside and spoke to a handsome young man who might be even younger than Guo Jia. "Who are you?" Huang Chengyan asked with some confusion.

  "Junior cousin Zhuge Jin." The young man replied with a bow, quite in the manner of a Confucian scholar, and did not show any signs of annoyance because Huang Chengyan could not recognize him.

  "Oh, you're here to see your sister, huh!" Huang Chengyan suddenly reacted, "That little girl is young in age, but she's very clever. I've always liked her, originally... Ah, never mind about the past. How is it? Have you seen her already?" Huang Chengyan asked.

  At that time, Zhuge Gui died of illness, and the eldest son of the family, Zhuge Jin, was only 15 years old. The death of the head of the household directly led to the collapse of the entire family, and the family could not afford to raise so many children. In the end, out of helplessness, they had to send the clever and sensible Zhuge Ming, also known as Ming Er, to the Huang family as a servant girl. Later, Huang Chengyan transferred Ming Er to Guo Jia, and the Zhuge family came to find Huang Chengyan to make trouble about this matter. Therefore, Huang Chengyan still had some impression of this young man Zhuge Jin.

  "I've seen her." Zhuge Jin nodded, "My sister seems to be very happy and has grown taller. I apologize to Uncle Huang for my rudeness back then." Zhuge Jin bowed, although still young, he was already the head of the household, just like Guo Jia. However, unlike Guo Jia, Zhuge Jin also had to bear the responsibility of supporting his stepmother, and the burden on him was far greater than what someone as carefree as Guo Jia could compare to.

  "It's nothing, you're just overthinking. Besides, I didn't inform you in advance, so I was a bit thoughtless too." Huang Chengyan waved his hand, "By the way, how is everything at home now? Do you need any help with anything?"

  Zhuge Jin shook his head.

  "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your concern. The younger brothers and sisters at home have all been entrusted to my uncle Xuan Yu to take care of, so the pressure I need to bear is not as great as before. Actually, this time I came, originally intended to bring my sister to my uncle's place too, she's still young, how can I bear to see her suffer alone outside? As a result, my sister not only refused my request but also forced some money on me. Alas, I'm really ashamed as an older brother." Zhuge Jin said with a bitter smile.
