Chapter 69: He Jin's Final Day

  "Big brother, didn't you say that I'm no good at anything, so you don't give me any tasks to do?" Guo Yuan couldn't help but say.

  "I just know you can't do anything right, so I want to make it clear with you in advance." Guo Jia said.

  "Oh, big brother says."

  "It's like this, today you mustn't run around recklessly, stay here quietly for me, and afterwards don't drink too much wine, no, it's best not to drink any wine at all..."

  Before Guo Jia's words had fallen, Guo Yu was already shouting in a wronged tone.

  "Big brother, why can't I drink? Today is your big happy day, how can we not drink?! I promise I won't cause any trouble, okay?"

  "Listen to me finish speaking." Guo Jia helplessly rolled his eyes, then continued, "I always feel that something will go wrong today, so I want you to stay alert at all times. Once something really happens, you immediately follow Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and your promotion and wealth will be secured today!"

  "Get promoted and rich? Brother, what are you talking about?" Guo Yuan suddenly remembered Guo Jia's words that day, looked around cautiously, and leaned in close to Guo Jia's ear, saying "Is it going to the palace to kill the old eunuch?"

  "Right. Are you willing to rise through the ranks and become a great general, enjoying fine wine and meat every day; or do you want to drink at my wedding today and completely miss this opportunity, never having another chance? Think carefully about it." Guo Jia patted Guo Yuan's chest, then continued on his way, busy as before.

  Guo Yuan clenched his teeth tightly on the spot

  "It's just one day, I can bear it!" Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh heavily, "I can wait until the killing is done and then have a good drink! Hehe, I've found a perfect solution that satisfies both!"

  ······

  At the same time, in the inner house, in the room

  Looking at Cai Wenji who was dressed up beautifully, Ming Er couldn't help but praise her.

  "Miss, you're so beautiful~~"

  "Compared with that Diao Chan girl, who is more beautiful?" Cai Yan replied subconsciously.

  Tomorrow's words will be stuck in his throat.

  Cai Yan couldn't help but gently pat her red lips and smiled, saying:

  "This mouth is asking for a beating! On a day like today, what's the point of saying these things?!"

  "The beauty of a young lady comes from within, while that Diao Chan girl is only pretty on the surface." Ming'er still answered Cai Yan's question.

  Tsai Wen-chi flashed a sweet smile, even if it was clear that tomorrow's words might not be entirely true, but on a day like today, hearing these words still made her exceptionally happy.

  "Thank you, see you tomorrow," said Cai Yan.

  "Hmm." Ming Er shook her head, "I'm telling the truth, Miss. Why should I thank you?"

  Cai Yan said however

  "It's not just about thanking you for this one thing, I'm grateful that you've always spoken up for me in front of your family's young master."

  Hearing Cai Yan's words, Ming Er nodded even more vigorously.

  "This is all your own credit, Miss. Ming'er is just a little maid, lowly and insignificant, Young Master has never taken my words to heart."

  Cai Wenji beckoned with her hand and pulled Ming'er aside, shaking her head and smiling.

  "Tomorrow you underestimate yourself too much. Have you ever seen any young master who would bring his servant girl with him all the time, whether at home or outside?"

  Cai Yan is right, usually outside are confidants and attendants, inside are servants. Like Guo Jia, absolutely an exception. It's not that there's a problem with the same person being both inside and out, for example, the emperor can have a eunuch by his side whether he's outside or inside.

  But in this era, it would be very strange to always have a woman by your side, especially since the one beside Guo Jia is just a little girl!

  Everyone noticed this problem, but only Guo Jia and Ming Er, the two principals, had never taken it to heart.

  It was from here that, combined with some later events, ultimately created for Guo Jia a future "special" reputation that would be extremely headache-inducing and difficult to explain.

  "It is well known that Cao Cao has a special fondness for other people's wives, and Guo Jia loves young girls. Therefore, wherever the Cao army goes, both women and children are shocked."

  How could Guo Jia have made half of the contribution in creating such an idiom?!

  And don't mention these afterwords.

  In the room, Cai Yan touched the little maid's head and continued to say,

  "So, I'm not entirely sure what position you hold in your young master's heart, but one thing is certain - it's absolutely more than just an ordinary little maid!"

  After hearing Cai Wenji's words, Ming Er was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered that Guo Jia had said to her before, "If it weren't for you, who would I talk to when I'm bored?"

  Will it be like this in the future? Before, I only thought that there were only two people beside Guo Jia, Ming'er and Yuanzi, so Guo Jia naturally chose to talk to Ming'er. After that, Guo Jia got married and had Miss Cai Yan, would he still look for a little maid like me to confide in?

  Just thinking about these useless problems, a servant suddenly rushed in from outside.

  "Miss, the imperial edict has arrived!"

  ······

  In the main hall,

  Because it was a gift for this marriage, Cai Yan, as the female lead, had to attend. Cai Wenji entered the main hall, and Guo Jia and others were already fully prepared. At that time, there was no red veil (which was later created by Huang Yueying), and when Cai Yan saw Guo Jia, she immediately blushed and lowered her head in silence.

  After they had formed up in array, the eunuch who was presenting the imperial edict brought it out and everyone immediately knelt down.

  Eunuch said: "Guangxi yuan year X month X day..."

  At the same time, General-in-Chief He Jin had received an imperial edict from Empress Dowager He and rushed to the palace.

  He had just entered the palace and had not reacted yet, when he was beheaded by Shang Fang Jianqu Mu in front of the Jiade Hall. The last external relative of the Eastern Han Dynasty was thus beheaded, dying unjustly and unclearly.

  Just as Guo Jia said, the eve of dawn is often the most dangerous. When success is within reach, people tend to become complacent and let their guard down, only to suffer a crushing defeat from which they can never recover!

  "He Jin's plot for rebellion has already been punished."

  "He Jin's plot for rebellion has already been punished."

  On this side, after the imperial edict was read out, the eunuch who read it out did not stay to be entertained and left with some money.

  The hall suddenly became lively, although it was still far from the auspicious time of the wedding ceremony, but the wedding had already entered a high climax. It was filled with congratulations from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.

  At this time, outside the Cai Fu gate, a wild girl named Zhu Rong wearing animal skin appeared with flowers as usual.

  Looking down at the somewhat tattered flowers in her hand, Zhu Rong couldn't help but mutter to herself.

  "Ran over the entire mountain, and it's only like this. Don't know if he likes it or not. Looks like I'll have to change mountains again tomorrow."

  As they arrived at the door, they looked up to find that this place was already completely different from before. Zhu Rong looked around and for a moment thought he had come to the wrong place. Guo Jia and the others were all in the main hall at this time, and the servant at the door recognized Zhu Rong and came forward to say:

  "Girl, have you come to deliver flowers again?"

  "Yes, why is it so lively here today?" Zhu Rong asked curiously.
