Chapter 47: Xun Yu's Reminder

  It wasn't until Gu Jia's figure completely disappeared into the streets that Diao Chan finally came back to her senses. In an instant, her impression of Gu Jia had changed by one hundred and eighty degrees.

  "This Guo Jia seems to be a man of some ability after all."

  Suddenly, Diao Chan became curious about Guo Jia. From what she heard earlier, Guo Jia seemed not only intelligent but also kind-hearted and had a strong sense of justice, even the officials would often seek his help in solving cases. Moreover, he didn't seem to be someone without status. Now, at noon, he was having lunch with Yuan Shao, the fourth-generation descendant of a noble family.

  At this time, Diao Chan wanted to ask someone about who Guo Jia was. After hesitating for a while, probably due to her maidenly reserve, she ultimately didn't speak up.

  Lowering her head to gaze at the beautiful mandala flower in her hand,

  "It's already winter days, such beautiful flowers are rarely seen now."

  Xiangqi gangqian Guo Jia de na ju 'hua shi wuguo de', Diao Chan zhongyu dui yi pang shuodao,

  "In the future when he comes to deliver flowers again, you can just accept them and bring them into the mansion."

  "Did you inform Miss Diao Chan about it?" someone asked.

  Diaochan thought for a moment and then shook her head.

  "It's nothing, just picking up the flowers will do."

  "Got it."

  Diaochan took the flower and turned back to the mansion, now she can justifiably drive out that unscrupulous and greedy gatekeeper from the Situ Mansion!

  ······

  On this side, Guo Jia, who had already walked a long way, casually threw the branch in his arms into a nearby thicket.

  Xun Yu beside him looked gloomy and couldn't help but say,

  "Filial piety, was what I did just now a bit too much?"

  "Hmph, hmph, hmph." Guo Jia shook his head, "Wen Ruo brother, you really don't understand this. The key to chasing girls is: first deceive, second coax, third pretend to be helpless. Besides, what I said wasn't entirely deceiving, at most it was just a bit exaggerated."

  "Alright, alright." Xun Yu sighed, "I won't say anything to you either, but there's something that I find strange." Xun Yu said suddenly.

  "What's wrong?" Guo Jia asked.

  "If you like Diao Chan so much, why don't you just go to the Sima's residence and propose? " Xun Yu asked strangely. "Of course, I also know that with your current situation of marrying soon, it's not good to propose either. But if Lord Sima Wang Yun doesn't agree in the end, everything you're doing now will be useless."

  Indeed, Xun Yu's words are not spoken in vain. Think about Xiao P's brother Xin Pi, who is about to get married and still doesn't know what his bride looks like, but that's the royal way. And as for Guo Jia's behavior of directly pursuing his target, if it's not considered a heretical or deviant path, then it's at least a minor path.

  Perhaps the atmosphere of the Three Kingdoms period was far from being as closed off as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but marriage was still a matter decided by one's parents. Especially during this time period, when the chaotic era had not yet truly arrived, how realistic is it to think that you can marry someone without going through their parents? Not to mention someone like Sima Wang Yun.

  Wang Yun is a notorious stubborn old man. If he gets obstinate, even if you and Diao Chan are in love, he won't let you marry her! Isn't that forcing a tragic ending?!

  So, in Xun Yu's eyes, even if you, Guo Jia, don't directly take action from Wang Yun, you should still work together. Now, taking action only from Diaochan is simply unreasonable, it's just a joke, playing the rogue!

  Unfortunately, Guo Jia had a completely different understanding of this issue.

  "I like Diao Chan, not Wang Yun, what's it to me about that old man?!"

  He Guo Jia wants to marry Diao Chan, not her father!

  "Cough, cough." Xun Yu was directly choked by Guo Jia's words. Although he had always thought that Guo Jia was a bit of an oddball, he didn't think it would be to this extent. "If Wang Yun doesn't plan on marrying Diao Chan to you in the end, then even if you two are fond of each other, there's nothing that can be done about it." Xun Yu couldn't help but speak his mind directly.

  "What's wrong with that? As long as Diao Chan likes me, she can elope with me! I'd rather have her like me and elope with me than not like me but marry me because of Wang Yun's arrangement." Guo Jia said seriously.

  "Alright, alright, I have to admire your idea, Fong Xiao," Xun Yu said helplessly. "But have you thought it through? Even if Diao Chan falls for you, she might not listen to Wang Yun and elope with you instead?"

  Xun Yu's words finally shocked Guo Jia, yes, Wang Yun that old guy is really shameless, if he really knelt down to beg Diao Chan to dedicate herself to the Great Han Dynasty and implement the beauty chain plan. At that time, if nothing unexpected happens, Diao Chan will definitely agree with tears.

  In this case, Guo Jia's performance is not only a tragedy but also an NTR tragic drama!

  "No! No way! This can't happen! What to do? What should I do?" Guo Jia suddenly spun around on the spot. Now going to propose to Wang Yun? Obviously unrealistic. And even if Guo Jia went to make friends with Wang Yun now, it would be too late. Directly snatch him away? Don't joke, how could he snatch him?!

  "Filial piety?" Xun Yu was perplexed, completely unable to understand why Guo Jia's reaction was so intense. In his opinion, as long as Guo Jia got along with Wang Yun for now, and after marrying Cai Wenji for a while, he could propose to Wang Yun without any problem.

  Diao Chan's identity is just a maidservant, even if she is Wang Yun's adopted daughter, she is not his biological daughter. Marrying Guo Jia as a concubine would be quite suitable. Neither side will have any trouble with this arrangement.

  Xun Yu certainly did not know that if he really waited until Guo Jia and Cai Wenji got married for a period of time, there would be no chance at all!

  "Filial piety? Filial piety! Time is running out, the case on the other side..." Xun Yu couldn't help but remind him.

  "Ah! Brother! Stop!" Guo Jia suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly, "Cases, cases, cases! All day long it's just cases! Do you know how important this matter is to me?!"

  Xun Yu was taken aback, why did this sound so familiar?

  "Never mind." Guo Jia shook his head, "If it weren't for your reminder, I almost made a big mistake. Anyway, this matter can't be solved for the time being, let's go take a look at that case of yours first."

  "Ah? Oh, come this way." Xun Yu didn't say another word and hastily led Guo Jia towards the prison cell in the government office, fearing that if they said anything more, it would again stir up Guo Jia's inexplicable excitement.

  ······

  Arrived at the prison

  "Cough cough, what a smell, so heavy." As soon as he entered, Guo Jia immediately waved his sleeve.

  The little maid also covered her nose with her hand tomorrow, looking uncomfortable.

  "It's like this in prison, you get used to it after a while." Xun Yu said beside him.

  Guo Jia pulled Ming Er and turned around to leave immediately.

  "Let's go out, no need to look anymore."

  "But you haven't seen it yet!" Xun Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

  "It's already obvious, no need to look." Guo Jia walked directly outside.

  "Oh? Feng Xiao, what do you know?" Xun Yu hastily followed him up.

  Taking a deep breath of fresh air outside, Guo Jia slowly spoke up and said

  "I guess I should have figured it out by now."
