The two of them took the carriage and traveled around the city for two hours before stopping at a remote residence.
There was no one in the house. Although it was locked, no one was guarding it.
Guo Jia took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
"What is this place?"
Cao Cao looked around in confusion.
The house wasn't big. It was just an ordinary person's house.
"My Lord, you will know when you go in and take a look.”
Guo Jia raised his hand.
Hearing this, Cao Cao strode into the manor.
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw more than ten memorial tablets placed inside.
There were also fruits placed in between.
Clearly, someone had come to pay their respects not long ago.
"This is Yi An's clan's mourning hall. I was lucky enough to come here with him a few days ago.”
Guo Jia bowed towards the memorial tablet and sighed." Yi An grew up alone. Although his life was poor, he had a pride that far surpassed ordinary people.”
"First, I don't accept charity from others, and second, I don't bow down to the rich and powerful!”
"When he sold his assets and went to Xiangyang's Shui Jing Manor to study, he brought these memorial tablets with him. It can be seen that he values filial piety very much.”
"Even so, because of his background, he wasn't able to be elected as filial and honest. Later on, Sima Wei and Xu Shao's comments made him look down on by the scholars of the world.”
"Under such circumstances, Yi An left. Only by doing so would he not bring shame to his ancestors and avoid those malicious words. In fact…he did not want to implicate Miss Huan and be laughed at by the scholars of the world together with him.”
Bang!
As soon as Guo Jia said that, Cao Cao punched the door beam.
Anger, irritability, and a little heartache!
He could imagine.
Su Ran had endured the ridicule of those scholars since she was young. Later on, because she was talented and talented, she was envied and maliciously slandered by those scholars.
The suffering he suffered was probably unimaginable to ordinary people.
No wonder Su Ran had such a strong personality. She didn't ask for help and only relied on herself.
No wonder Su Ran was born into a poor family, but she never compromised for the sake of wealth.
He was very clear about one thing.
With Su Ran's talent.
As long as he was willing to put down his pride and submit to a certain aristocratic family, he would not have to suffer so much. Moreover, he would be able to enjoy glory, wealth, and a group of wives.
But in that case...
They became the vassals of the aristocratic families.
That wasn't what Su Ran wanted!
"Su Yian, what a great guy. Today, I finally saw his iron will.”
After his anger subsided, Cao Cao admired Su Ran even more.
It was as if he could see the shadow of himself in Su Ran.
"Yes, I am."
Guo Jia nodded in agreement and smiled." Actually, Yi An is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Moreover, a person like him values relationships and loyalty.”
"Then for ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years, Yi An will follow you and assist you with all his might.”
"Such a person, once he becomes close to my lord, can be trusted and put in an important position.”
"The most important thing is that Yi An is alone and has no ties. Whatever the lord wants to do in the future, Yi An will definitely do it well for the lord. He is not like the other aristocrats who are worried and will inevitably be biased in their actions.”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he nodded,""Good!"
"I've already treated him as my nephew and I'm just waiting for him to marry Huan 'er.”
"There's no need to be anxious about this matter." Guo Jia smiled and said," Yi An and Miss Huan love each other. My lord should wait until the time is ripe and ask for Yi An's opinion before bestowing the marriage.”
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Cao Cao said.
He walked forward and bowed to the memorial tablet. Then, he pulled Guo Jia away.
In the carriage, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, who was about to fall asleep, and suddenly asked," Oh right, Fengxiao, why did you bring me here today?"”
"Yi An didn't tell me this because he probably didn't want me to know.”
"Aren't you afraid that he'll be angry if you tell me?”
Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders indifferently.”
"If he comes to settle the score with me, then it must be my lord who leaked the news. At that time, it will be my lord's fault. I will say that my lord forced me.”
"Guo Fengxiao, you even schemed against me.”Cao Cao was so angry that he laughed and pointed at Guo Jia.
"Hahaha."
Guo Jia laughed loudly.
When Cao Cao saw this, he also laughed.
In fact, he also understood.
Guo Jia did this because he wanted to help Su Ran.
With Su Ran's pride, she would never tell him about these things.
……
After Guo Jia finished laughing, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
However, he sighed in his heart.
He had done so much.
He just wanted someone else to help him assist Cao Cao after he left.
Because in this one year, he realized that his body was getting worse by the day.
An accident might happen at any time.
He had to plan ahead.
With Yi An by her side, she would not be lonely.
At that time, he would be able to leave safely.
Halfway through the journey, the surroundings suddenly became lively.
Guo Jia was woken up by the noise. He lifted the curtain of the carriage beside him and looked outside.
Countless children were laughing and playing on the streets, looking very happy.
As he read, a nostalgic look appeared on his face.
Memories flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but reminisce about the past.
When she came back to her senses, she saw that Cao Cao had fallen asleep with his hand on his chin.
Guo Jia took a cloak and draped it over Cao Cao's body. He then looked out the window again.
Looking at those carefree children…
