Chapter 48 It’s bad luck for you, kid!

The servant in front of the gate hurriedly returned the courtesy. Since the death of Zhuge Gui, the eldest member of their family, people in officialdom and personal life have been quiet, and noble people like them have never visited again.

The servant quickly returned the salute and handed over his hand, "I have met the noble man!"

Guo Jia handed over the greeting card and said, "In the reign of Pingzhou, Guo Jia is here to pay homage to Mr. Zhuge Ziyu. Please pass the message to your master."

The servant was stunned, Pingzhou, does a big man have such a place?But he didn't dare to neglect.

"Guests please wait!"

The servant immediately turned around and took the invitation back to his home.

After a while, the door of Zhuge's house was opened, and a young man in his early twenties led the family's servants in two rows to greet him.

Although the Zhuge family was in decline, they basically continued to serve as officials from generation to generation, and the etiquette and rules in the family were still strict.

Zhuge Jin walked directly in front of Guo Jia and bowed deeply. The bow he gave was not a light one.

However, the young man didn't feel any grievance at all. After all, he was still white at the moment, while the other party was already ruled by a state, and his family was not a famous family in Jiuzhou, so he was relatively clear about it.

The young man who came was Zhuge Jin. He had a rather long face, a slightly wider jaw, square eyebrows, a high nose and a wide mouth. His appearance was quite majestic.

Zhuge Jin was not that ignorant servant. He naturally knew that the Pingzhou that Guo Jia mentioned should be the Liaodong Pingzhou that the emperor of Xuchang had granted in the past.

The Langya Kingdom is close to the East China Sea, and ships from Liaodong come to trade basically every day. He himself also likes these goods transported by sea, and often goes to the market to hang out!So I also learned a lot about Liaodong.

"I would like to pay my respects to Guo Zhizhong!"

"Tzuyu, please get up!" Guo Jia was not too polite.

The two were polite to each other, and after Zhuge Jin said that, he welcomed Guo Jia into the house. Gongsun Lu and Taishi Ci entered Zhuge's house together with two Huobian soldiers holding gifts.

Zhuge Jin welcomed the three of them into the living room and asked the servants to prepare drinks and fruits.

Guo Jia is a top strategist who has insight into people's hearts, and Zhuge Jin, who is quite tactful, is helping and praising him.The atmosphere in the hall is quite harmonious!

The scene was also quite lively for a while.

The flower-growing family has always been like this. Before talking about serious business, they must first be polite to each other.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhuge Jin sat on the main seat and bowed slightly, "I wonder what Guo Zhizhong has to do to come to the humble house this time?"

Guo Jia put down the wine cup in his hand and looked at Zhuge Jin with a smile. He was a young man after all, but he was still a little out of control.

What kind of person is Guo Jia? After only talking to Zhuge Jin for a few words, I basically had a preliminary understanding of him. To describe him in one sentence, he is an all-rounder and good at dancing.

Although they had only known each other for a while, his conversation and behavior made people feel warm and affectionate, but they did not appear to be flattering.It can be seen that he is a person with high emotional intelligence.

Judging from the perspective of a senior counselor, Guo Jia is a talent that can be made. Could it be that he is the talented person that his lord came to look for this time?
He quietly looked at Gongsun Lu, and when he saw his lord winking at him, he took out the letter he had prepared before and handed it to Zhuge Jin, saying, "Jia is here on the order of Marquis Xiangping. I’m here to conquer Pi Boyu!”

Zhuge Jin took the letter and opened it and saw that it read, "In the past, when Duke Huan got Guan Zhong, he dominated the world, and when King Zhao got Leyi, he destroyed the Qi Dynasty. Now, Mr. Lu Wen."

The letter was full of praise for Zhuge Jin. The general meaning was, I heard that you, Zhuge Jin, are a talented person. I, Gongsun Lu, have heard of your reputation in places as far away as Liaodong, and now I am ready to invite you to join us. Piao Zi, I have prepared the house and the girl for you in Liaodong. Now come and join my club. Now, I will give you some gifts first. As long as you work hard, there will be good things later.

Zhuge Jin glanced at the gifts held by the two soldiers. They were all quite expensive items.

In short, it's just a sugar-coated bomb.To be honest, being flattered and praised by a two-thousand-stone border official made Zhuge Jin feel quite complacent and secretly happy even if he had a mature mind. However, he soon woke up. Now the world is not going well, and Langya Kingdom is currently under pressure. Although it is quite peaceful under Liu Bei's rule, it is located in the buffer zone of the two major princes, Lu Bu and Cao Cao. A conflict may break out, and Langya Kingdom will become a direct battlefield between the two parties.

As the current head of the Zhuge family in Langya, Zhuge Jin was even more worried, fearing that he would encounter a military disaster that day and his whole family would be wiped out.

It's just that after his father passed away, he lived in seclusion. How did the current Marquis of Xiangping know about him? This made me a little doubtful.

Moreover, a few days ago, his uncle Zhuge Xuan had written to him. Yuan Shu appointed him as the governor and was about to rush to Yuzhang. He asked him to take his brothers to join him. The south was more stable than the Central Plains and there was no danger of war.

He had already prepared to sell his ancestral property and go to seek refuge, but at this moment, he suddenly received a conscription, which made him hesitate for a moment.

Guo Jia saw Zhuge Jin's hesitation and glanced at Gongsun Lu. The two people had similar personalities and had a tacit understanding.

If this guy doesn't take the bait, what do you think I should do, my lord?

Gongsun Lu, who was sitting in the back, his expression darkened, MD, if you don’t drink the toast, you will be fined, and you will lead someone to tie up his family at night!

Oh, is it too immoral to tie up the whole family and bring harm to the family?
I need your head. I flatter him so much in my heart, but he actually doesn’t give me face, tie him up!

Guo Jia shrugged, yes, you are the lord, you have the final say.

Taishi Ci sat quietly in the back, playing the role of a guard, pretending not to see the eye contact between the two evil-minded guys, and just looked at Zhuge Jin with pity, who was still thinking, and encountered such a small-minded person. Lord, you are in bad luck.

At this moment, two human voices suddenly came from the entrance of the hall, "Ouch!"

Zhuge Jin took a closer look and saw that they were his two younger brothers. He quickly shouted angrily, "Liang, Jun! Didn't you see that my brother was entertaining distinguished guests? Why are you so rude, why don't you leave quickly!"

Bright!
Is he Zhuge Liang?
Gongsun Lu looked at the rather old young man.

Well, his eyes are very bright. He is probably around fourteen or early fifteen years old. Now he is the same age as himself. How old did he think he was before?
It's just that he is not as tall as himself, but he is also quite handsome.

The two children quickly bowed slightly and left.

Zhuge Jin also bowed slightly to Guo Jia.Shili apologized.

The courtesy was quite sincere, and Guo Jia said it was okay.

Then he bowed slightly to Guo Jia and said, "Nowadays, the world is getting chaotic. Jin is from a humble background and has little talent. Now that he has received so much love from the Marquis of Xiangping, he is extremely frightened. He should have possessed his body and lowered his ears to do the work of dogs and horses for the king. He is just a child." My brother is young and has no way to protect himself, can you allow Jin to think about it for a day?"

After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid that Guo Jia wouldn't believe it, he specifically said, "In one day, Jin will come and reply to Guo Zhizhong!"

Guo Jia said it didn't matter. In his heart, Zhuge Jin decided to go to Liaodong!
He told Zhuge Jin where his Langya Kingdom collapsed, left gifts, and led everyone back the way they came.

Well, after all, whether Zhuge Jin is willing or not, when he meets Gongsun Lu, he will definitely accompany him back to Liaodong after today.

Zhuge Jinli sent the three people away thoughtfully, then returned directly to the hall and asked the servants to bring his two younger brothers to the living room. He first scolded the two younger brothers. The Zhuge family was a family with a strict family tradition. From now on, this kind of behavior would Discourteous behavior must not be repeated.

After that, he looked at his third brother who looked ashamed and confused, and then at his second brother Zhuge Liang and said, "Before my father passed away, he asked me, the eldest brother, to take good care of his two younger brothers. Now, the Marquis of Xiangping, Liaodong is Zhengpi. As an official, brother, if I go to Xiangping, I will definitely take you two with me, so I want to hear your thoughts."

As he spoke, he first looked at his honest third brother.Zhuge Jun said, I will go wherever my brother goes.

Zhuge Jin sighed and shook his head. This brother of his is a chronic man. It was fine in the peaceful and prosperous times, but now the world is not good. If he goes to Liaodong, he must keep him by his side, otherwise he will be bullied by others.
