Chapter 389 Yuan is a busy man

"Yuan Taishou can be in charge of a county at such an age, if he is really a young man, my eldest sister can find a good son-in-law like Yuan Taishou, and I, as a brother, am also happy for her!"

Zhen Yao consciously arranged Yuan Chang in the seat next to him, and now Zhen Yao has no other expression except for his courteous smiling face. When he saw Yuan Chang's strong strength and deterrence, Zhen Yao deeply understood that having a good relationship with Yuan Chang would only be good for the Zhen family in Wuji County, but not harmful. Although it is said that Yuan Chang and Zhen Jiang have a super friendly relationship, Zhen Yao knows very well that Yuan Chang can take care of the Zhen family for a while, but he can't take care of it for a lifetime. Besides, as far as Zhen Yao sees so far, there are many women around Yuan Chang, and Zhen Yao is not sure what Zhen Jiang's status will be in the future. Therefore, they must maintain a good relationship with Yuan Chang themselves.

"The third brother of Shu Lian has a good reputation, and I think that the second brother of Zhong Lian and the three of Shu Lian have been promoted to filial piety and honesty at the age of the younger brother, and they have been recognized by everyone. The younger brother's position looks beautiful, but in fact, he was promoted by the original brother, so he shouldn't be anything. ”

Yuan Chang smiled and waved his hand, with a flat expression.

If it weren't for Zhen Yao being Zhen Jiang's brother, Yuan Chang would really be too lazy to make a false mistake with such a person, and his purpose was too strong. When he first came to Bohai County, Zhen Yao put on a pretense that I am Zhen Jiang's brother, and you Yuan Chang will serve Uncle Ben well. However, when Zhen Yao saw Yuan Chang's strength in Bohai County, especially when Yuan Chang was mad at Feng Ji, Zhen Yao immediately changed his face, and he had the face of Yuan Chang is uncle. Think about people like Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao again, if it weren't for Yuan Chang being the children of the Yuan family. And now they have made a foundation, with the temperament of the two of them, they will never let their sister marry Yuan Chang. Come to think of it. Yuan Chang became more and more uncomfortable in his heart, for Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, he could maintain basic etiquette, but he would never get too close to the two.

"That's all a false name, and it's still not as good as my brother-in-law's power to control a county. ”

Although Zhen Yao said that it was just a small name, the expression on his face still showed that he was proud of being held up as filial piety.

The so-called filial piety. It's like Yuan Chang traveling through the previous era and evaluating some honors such as municipal and provincial three good students, which has little practical use. It's just nice to hear. In this era, the honor of filial piety is more useful than that of the three good students, and when the imperial court selects officials, priority will be given to scholars who are promoted as filial piety. In other respects, filial piety is of little use. And. It's the same as the selection of the three good students. Filial piety can also be fried, and it can also be shady.

Just like in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a wealthy merchant who was about to give his property to his three sons when he was dying. However, the second and third sons bullied the eldest to be honest and embezzled all their property. The eldest son didn't bother with his two younger brothers for the peace of mind that his father could go, and the county later learned about it. praised the eldest son for his filial piety, so he elected the eldest son as filial piety; The second and third sons believed that their actions were wrong, and not only gave away the eldest son's share of the family property, but also gave most of their own share of the family property to the eldest son as a sign of their repentance. Then, the county learned about this matter again, and praised the second and third sons for knowing repentance and filial piety, so they also recommended these two people as filial piety.

Needless to say, the next thing is naturally needless to say, with the identity of filial piety, the three of them all have the family property left by their old son, and it is naturally extremely easy to become an official on one side. Later, because the eldest son was arrested for embezzlement, the matter was recruited, and at this time people knew that the three brothers' courtesy was actually a wonderful scene, so the second and third sons were also imprisoned, and the three brothers were beheaded. Of course, the deeds of the three brothers are just a microcosm of the people of the world in order to obtain the name of filial piety. Under the leadership of such a wise monarch as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, such a thing happened, not to mention the incompetent emperors surnamed Liu in the Eastern Han Dynasty? Therefore, for the filial piety of Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, Yuan Chang retained a certain doubt in his heart, and perhaps only they knew how much gold was there. Of course, it is also because of this reputation of filial piety that Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao brothers were able to win a good position under Yuan Shao.

After talking nonsense with Zhen Yao for a while, Yuan Chang didn't bother to delay the time, and asked directly: "Third brother Shulian, I don't know about the matter between the younger brother and Jiang Er, what is the opinion of the third brother?"

opinions, of course Zhen Yao didn't dare to have them. Originally, before coming to Bohai County, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao brothers had a lot of opinions. However, when Zhen Yao saw Yuan Chang's toughness, all opinions were left behind him, and the only thought was that Yuan Chang could give Zhen Jiang a name as soon as possible, and that was enough!

"Brother-in-law said with a smile, like a brother-in-law is such an excellent handsome, as a brother, he can't even be happy, how can he have an opinion? Brother-in-law, rest assured, the third brother will definitely give full support to you and the eldest sister, and the brother-in-law on the second brother's side doesn't have to worry, the third brother will also help you to talk about it in detail. So, brother-in-law, you don't have to think about anything, as long as you pick a good day and an auspicious day, and marry the eldest sister, it's enough!"

Zhen Yao was extremely excited, as if the person who was going to get married was himself.

It's no wonder that Zhen Yao is so excited, he is really a little aggrieved when he serves under Yuan Shao, and he has long wanted to get ahead.

The Zhen family in Wuji County is the family of the children surnamed Zhen in the world, as long as the surname is Zhen, they must perform the suzerain ceremony to the people of the Zhen family in Wuji County, which can be described as a flourishing moment. On Zhen Yao's ancestors, the ancestors of the Zhen family served as second- and third-grade officials in the imperial court for countless people, and even the first-grade officials were as many as 100 people, among which the people who were knighted and marquis were also like carp crossing the river. The status of the Zhen family in Wuji County at that time was only in some top families such as the Yuan family, the Xun family, and the Cui family. It's a pity that Zhen Yao's grandfather was implicated in prison because of the disaster of the party, and was killed by eunuchs in prison, and the Zhen family was also suppressed, so that Zhen Yao's father Zhen Yi has not moved to the position of Cai Ling. Since then, the Zhen family in Wuji County has been like a mountain collapse. Overnight, status fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Not to mention the top families, the families that can be included in the third-rate are already good.

As the saying goes, there are few people who send charcoal in the snow. There are a lot of people who make matters worse, and this sentence is really not wrong. When Zhen Yao's grandfather died, some of the original first- and second-rate families in Jizhou were no longer courteous in the face of the Zhen family in Wuji County, a family that had the potential to become a top family, but continued to ridicule and ridicule. It is precisely for this reason that Zhen Yao's eldest brother Zhen Yu died depressed, and since then. The Zhen family is left with two men, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, who work hard to restore the former glory of the Zhen family. Therefore, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao made certain choices for this. But it is also reasonable, of course, whether it can be understood or not, I can't say.

Just like in history. Zhen Jiang is married to Yuan Tan. Wuji County's Zhen family can recover some momentum. It wasn't until Zhen Mi married Cao Pi that he returned to his original prosperity. Later, Zhen Yan or Zhen Yao's son Zhen Xiang was promoted to Taiwei by Zhen Mi's son Cao Rui, and the other Zhen family children also had many marquis, although they were not as good as the top families, but they were much more prosperous than when Zhen Yao's grandfather was alive.

Of course, these are all things that happened in history. Now that Yuan Chang has come to this era, Zhen Jiang no longer has the slightest relationship with Yuan Tan. Yuan Chang naturally wouldn't let Zhen Mi be robbed by Cao Pi. Therefore, the Zhen family is now tied to Yuan Chang on a chariot. Everything about Yuan Chang is closely related.

Of course, Zhen Yao didn't know the trajectory of the original history, but Zhen Yao was not a fool, he also knew that in this troubled world, if the Zhen family wanted to restore its former glory and even go to a higher level, then it must follow in the footsteps of one party. Originally, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao's idea was naturally to follow Yuan Shao. After all, although Yuan Shao's treatment of the two has not yet reached the point of confidants, it is not bad, as long as the two work hard, they will become Yuan Shao's henchmen sooner or later.

However, when Zhen Yao saw the strong strength of Bohai County, and Yuan Chang was able to maintain a transcendent position in the face of Yuan Shao's henchmen Feng Ji and Xu You, Zhen Yao had a new idea.

Although he has been following Yuan Shao for some time and has made some achievements, it is only a matter of time before he is valued by Yuan Shao. However, the Zhen family and Yuan Shao are not too close after all, and even if they follow Yuan Shao, the position they can achieve is limited. However, following Yuan Chang is different. The relationship between Zhen Jiang and Yuan Chang is there, as long as Yuan Chang has enough strength, how can their Zhen family not follow the meat and drink soup? Therefore, Zhen Yao has already made up his mind, and in the future, he will closely follow Yuan Chang's steps, and then persuade Zhen Yan to go together, and the Zhen family may come to a higher position than before.

All of this was the idea in Zhen Yao's mind, and Yuan Chang naturally didn't know it.

Listening to Zhen Yao's words, Yuan Chang frowned slightly, and then said softly: "Third brother Shulian, everyone is their own sooner or later, junior brother, I will tell you the truth." In a short period of time, the younger brother did not have the idea of getting married, and Jiang Er also knew about it. Third brother Shulian, you also know that the younger brother has been with Xi'er the longest. However, Xi'er's relatives have not been heard from so far, and the younger brother will not consider this matter until Xi'er's relatives are found, otherwise, it will be a little unfair to Xi'er. Therefore, I hope that the third brother of Shulian can take care of it. ”

For Zhen Yao, Yuan Chang naturally will not reveal Liu Xi's true identity, and it is unlikely that a person like Zhen Yao will keep it secret. Tell Zhen Yao that Zhen Yao will definitely tell Zhen Yan when he goes back. Then, perhaps Liu Xi's identity will be exposed to the world because of this, which is not the result that Yuan Chang wants. Once this situation occurs, it may cause the covetousness of the Quartet forces, although Yuan Chang is not afraid of the world, but he also hates trouble. Some people with ulterior motives will definitely want to control Liu Xi in their hands, so as to be able to represent the royal family's right to speak. Just like Cao Cao in history, it was because he controlled Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, that he slowly grew in power and finally laid down a huge Wei State. Although Liu Xi's role is a little worse than that of the Liu Association, it still has a role. Therefore, when the time is not ripe, Yuan Chang will definitely not expose Liu Xi's identity. So far, the people who know Liu Xi's identity are all Yuan Chang's absolute confidants. For these people, Yuan Chang naturally did not have the slightest worry.

Zhen Yao was also stunned when he heard Yuan Chang's words, if he were a man of this age, he would definitely not consider this, there is no doubt about it. However, Yuan Chang is not a person of this era after all, in the era before the crossing, it was monogamous under normal circumstances, even if there were many women. That's also a lover, a mistress or something. Therefore, in the era before Yuan Chang's crossing, most people still cherished the relationship between husband and wife.

But. In this era, it is too common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and women are not taken seriously. If this wife is not satisfied, she will divorce and marry another one, and there is no loss for the man. Therefore, Zhen Yao couldn't understand why Yuan Chang was worried about Liu Xi's thoughts. Moreover, Zhen Yao didn't know Liu Xi's identity either, and felt that Liu Xi was just an ordinary girl's family. Even if she has known Yuan Chang since childhood, it would be good to be able to give her the identity of a concubine, but now Yuan Chang still treats her as a wife. So. Zhen Yao was very difficult to understand. However, Yuan Chang's current power is not something that Zhen Yao can touch, so he thinks about Yuan Chang. I can only slander it in my heart. But he did not dare to speak out.

"My brother-in-law is such a loving and righteous person, I am really ashamed to be a brother. ”

Zhen Yao praised exaggeratedly, and then asked in a low voice and cautiously: "Brother-in-law, I can also understand your thoughts, brother." However, don't blame my brother for saying something unpleasant, if Miss Xi'er can't find her relatives for the rest of her life, will she drag it out like this for the rest of her life, brother-in-law, what do you think? It's just that as an older brother, I also need to think about my sister. Brother-in-law, don't take it to heart yet. ”

Yuan Chang secretly slandered in his heart, you are thinking about your Zhen family, if you choose between the family and Zhen Jiang, the two brothers Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao will definitely choose the family. This is the sorrow of the family, it has been the case throughout the ages, and no one can change it. Especially for a family like the Zhen family, which has declined and wants to revivenation, the situation is even more serious. For the revival of the family, the means they use will be more powerful than those of the big families who are already standing on a high place, and they are so fierce that it is chilling. However, how the Zhen family has nothing to do with Yuan Chang, as long as Zhen Jiang is not harmed. If Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao really dared to have any bad intentions towards Zhen Jiang, Yuan Chang would destroy the Zhen family even if he wanted to make Zhen Jiang and them sad. The pain of a moment is better than the pain of a lifetime.

"Third brother Shulian, rest assured, the younger brother will naturally not let Jiang Er wait indefinitely. The younger brother promised here that he would marry Jiang Er within five years, regardless of whether he could find Xi'er's relatives or not. ”

The so-called finding Liu Xi's relatives is to get Liu Xie. If you really want to get Liu Xie in your hands, it will not be practical for three years, and when Li Dao and Guo Yan are infighting, Yuan Chang can take the opportunity to do it. However, this will have a significant impact on the situation in the future. Therefore, in order to get Liu Xie into his hands, he must change the timing, and at this timing, Yuan Chang actually has a rough idea, so he is waiting to put it into action.

"Since my brother-in-law said so, the third brother naturally believes you. To celebrate everyone as a family, brother-in-law, how about you and I drink this cup together?"

I have to say that in order to revive the Zhen family and hug Yuan Chang's thigh, Zhen Yao's words and deeds now seem to be a little low, which makes people feel pathetic.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chang felt that he was too ruthless to the people of the Zhen family? People were also in their position, if he hadn't occupied Yuan Chang's body and had a relationship with Yuan Shao, otherwise, would he still be able to get to his current position so easily? At this moment, Yuan Chang's face also showed a smile, and there was a little more gentleness. Maybe he should give Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao a chance to see if they will change their ways, in that case, it will be good for everyone.

"Okay, the third brother has spoken, and the younger brother should be like this!"

After speaking, Yuan Chang raised his head and poured the wine in the cup into his mouth, looking extremely bold.

And Zhen Yao also obviously felt that Yuan Chang seemed to be closer to him, and he was much happier in his heart. He didn't expect that Yuan Chang thought about it in his heart, and thought that it was the effect of currying favor with Yuan Chang in this period of time.

Subsequently, Yuan Chang and Zhen Yao had a cup of you and a cup of me, and they drank happily, but the two of them didn't drink too much, and it was over at about the same time. Yuan Chang excused himself to have official business to deal with, so he said goodbye to Zhen Yao and left. Zhen Yao didn't know either, and thought that Yuan Chang, the Taishou, was really busy. If Zhen Yao stays in Bohai County for a few more days, I am afraid that he will know that Yuan Chang's house is purely a hands-off shopkeeper, saying that he is busy, it is estimated that Yuan Chang's henchmen will scoff at him.

I don't know what day it is, as soon as Yuan Chang walked out of Zhen Yao's residence, he saw Mi Zhu sitting in a carriage, waiting outside Zhen Yao's door. Obviously, Mi Zhu was waiting for Yuan Chang.

"Mi Beijia, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"

Yuan Chang muttered to himself in his heart, what is going on today. First, Lu Bu asked him to discuss the matter of Lu Lingqi, and then Zhen Yao asked him to discuss the matter of Zhen Jiang, and he was busy marrying his daughter-in-law today. Unexpectedly, now that Mi Zhu is looking for himself again, Mi Zhu was shocked by Yuan Chang's heroic posture, and he wants to give his sister to himself, and he will change his name to Yuan Da Busy Man! Of course, Yuan Chang is not so narcissistic, Mi Zhu first knew Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, and it is estimated that he is more optimistic about Liu Bei now.

"Yuan Taishou said with a smile, Zhu is waiting for Yuan Taishou here, that is, he invited Yuan Taishou to the house to talk, I wonder if Yuan Taishou is free?"

I have to say that rich people are good, Mi Zhu went to Nanpi City, and simply bought a house as a residence. In these years, there is no purchase restriction order, and a big businessman like Mi Zhu wants to buy a house, and it is estimated that he will not hesitate.

"Haha, don't be invited, Ben Taishou has to squeeze out time even if he doesn't have time!"

"Yuan is too polite, please!"

"Please!" (to be continued......)
