Chapter 44 This joke isn't funny

  Before Guo Jia could speak, Cao Cao slapped his thigh again and continued to talk.

  "You absolutely can't imagine, but somehow the news reached the imperial palace, and then everyone in the palace started to follow suit! Haha, now who dares to expose this lie? If they speak out, wouldn't that be slapping the entire Han Dynasty in the face?! I bet those old scholars are frantically trying to retroactively declare Qu Yuan's birthday as yesterday! From now on, we might all have to commemorate our great poet Qu Yuan on this day!"

  Cao Cao patted Guo Jia's shoulder with force and burst out laughing.

  "Haha, Fengxiao, you said it's funny or not! By the way, it seems that this thing was first spread from Situ Wang Yun's mansion. Today when we went to court, Situ's face looked really ugly. I don't know who the idiot was who started the rumor, but if I knew, I would definitely invite him for a drink! Hahaha~~~~~ Hey? Fengxiao, why aren't you laughing? Is this thing not funny?"

  "It's really funny, but on one condition: the idiot in your mouth is not me!" Guo Jia said gritting his teeth.

  "Haha, Fengxiao, this joke of yours is... haha, haha, haha, haha......" Cao Cao gradually changed from loud laughter to dry laughter, and turned his head towards Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, this joke isn't funny at all."

  "So I didn't laugh at all!" Guo Jia took a deep breath.

  "Hey, Filial Piety, I really don't know... I'm inviting you to drink, really... Hey, calm down a bit, I didn't mean anything else... Wait till you calm down and we'll have a good talk!" Cao Cao said, and then took off running.

  "Stop right there! Cao! Ah! Man! You stop for me!" Guo Jia picked up the chair and chased after him again.

  The second half has started after the halftime break.

  ······

  The next day, Guo Jia was at home preparing some wedding matters.

  It can be said that Guo Jia was also lucky. His parents died early (is this also luck?). As the saying goes, "one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father", so Cai Yong, who was Guo Jia's teacher, directly took on the role of both sets of parents.

  In addition, Guo Jia currently has no place to settle in Luoyang and has been living in Cai Yong's house, so this marriage is completely arranged like a matrilocal marriage. From beginning to end, all the big and small things were prepared by people from the Cai family. Whether it was financial resources, materials or labor, Guo Jia didn't need to worry about anything at all.

  Cai Yong probably also knew that this time he married off his daughter in a somewhat improper way, so he did all these things without any resentment, taking it as a matter of course.

  So, all Guo Jia needs to do is think carefully about who to invite, who needs to be invited in person, and who just needs a message.

  Of course, finally, we must also count the number of people who will come to the wedding according to these situations, and then prepare for the number of banquets.

  "Hey, you're telling me to think of a lunatic patient like this, isn't that making things difficult for people?" Guo Jia shook his head and after thinking for half a day, apart from Cao Cao, Guo Tu, Xun Yu and others in Luoyang, he could only think of one person - Huang Bo, who was in Xiangyang.

  Those other relatives in their hometown of Yingchuan, or those who moved to other places, didn't know any of them, so how could he manage? Guo Jia didn't want his first wedding to end up cold and deserted.

  "That's right, let's go ask Da Ge! He should be very clear about who to invite, and he has a lot of experience!" Guo Jia immediately made up his mind.

  Just then, a servant walked in.

  "Brother-in-law, that girl came looking for you again that day."

  Guo Jia's eyelid twitched.

  "Just say I'm not here." He's now regretting his actions that day, completely inviting trouble.

  "That girl has actually left, carrying a fairly large wild animal on her body. I think she should have taken it to the market to sell it. To be honest, I've never seen any girl like that before, just like a man." The servant said.

  "Yes." Guo Jia nodded, deeply moved. "Which woman would live alone outside the city and spend her days hunting in the mountains?"

  "Right, didn't she say anything? Won't she just leave like that?" Guo Jia suddenly asked.

  "She asked me to give this to you, Master." The servant brought out a flower.

  Kuo Chia's eyes widened suddenly, beautiful flowers, delicate pink color, most importantly not the small yellow flowers he had imagined.

  "This is... This is... This is..."

  "Mantra." Ming'er reminded faintly beside him.

  "It's it!" Guo Jia slapped his thigh, a city-bred kid, how would he know a few flowers?

  "Haha, I knew it, that girl is actually not bad, just a bit off in terms of personality. Of course, that's also because she's not from the Central Plains, so it's forgivable." Guo Jia couldn't help but start praising her, as if he had completely forgotten who was just criticizing her in his heart.

  Guo Jia took the flower and continued to say...

  "That girl asked me to tell you, sir: sorry, don't be angry anymore."

  "Hey, you said it's a good thing. " Guo Jia said, suddenly stunned, because he found the servant's expression was very strange, and immediately shouted, "Hey, what's with that look?! It's not what you think, this flower wasn't given to me by her! Really, I was planning to give it to someone else, she just helped me pick it out. And she apologized because she misunderstood some things, she thought I was mad at her, but I wasn't! Okay, I know this might be a bit complicated, and I'll explain later. Anyway, you only need to know one thing: whether she gave me flowers or apologized, it's all your misconception... No, no, no, you're wrong again, this flower isn't for your young mistress. Cough cough, I mean, in short, don't tell your young mistress about this... Oh no!"

  A man who had been talking for half a day, Guo Jia suddenly jumped up and grabbed the flower, quickly running outside.

  "Tomorrow, hurry up and catch up!"

  "Yes, young master." Ming'er had already gotten used to Guo Jia's sudden and abrupt manner. "Young master, where are we going?"

  "Of course it's the Situ Mansion! Ah, I'm so frustrated, I actually forgot to send flowers yesterday! Diao Chan must be hating me now, all my efforts these past few days have gone down the drain. Why didn't you remind me tomorrow?" Guo Jia hastily said, he could afford to forget any other day, but not yesterday of all days!

  Because Guo Jia had already set up the trap two days ago, yesterday was just the right time to catch the fish, so Guo Jia was very clear that Diao Chan would definitely be waiting for him to go... ...He Guo Jia actually let go of one of the four great beauties, Diao Chan's pigeon?!

  "Yesterday you said: what are we going to do? Send out invitations? Tell Diao Chan that I'm getting married?" Ming Er said, imitating Guo Jia's tone from the day before.

  Guo Jia's eyes twitched slightly.

  "Have I said this before?"

  "It's been said." Ming Er nodded definitely tomorrow.

  "Heavens! Yesterday was definitely the most tragic day of my life!" Guo Jia exclaimed, covering his head.
