Everyone walked all the way, and the high walls and deep pavilions in the distance were already faintly visible.

Jia Xu pointed with his hand and said, "This mansion should be Yuan Situ's mansion!" ”

Zhang Ji also nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Nan Ying said casually: "Then do Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also live here?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head: "How is it possible?" The Yuan family is flourishing and wealthy, if all the clansmen live in one house, wouldn't it make the world laugh! ”

Nanying said with interest: "Oh? Wen He, can you tell me more about this Yuan family figure! ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, stroked his long beard under his chin, and said: "The Yuan family started from Emperor Zhang, and his ancestor Yuan An rose to prominence because of the 'sleepy snow' festival, and successively served as the servant, Sikong, and Situ, and then his son and grandson also held important positions in the three princes, creating the glory of the family surnamed Yuan!" ”

He paused and said: "Yuan Ansheng three sons, Chang, Jing, Jingsheng Tang, and Yuan Tang also gave birth to three sons: Cheng, Feng, Kui, among which Yuan Cheng died early, and his family business was inherited by Yuan Fengshu's eldest son Yuan Shao, although Yuan Feng was Sikong, prominent for a while, but also died of illness three years ago, and his family business was inherited by his eldest son Yuan Ji, by the way, this person is now in the position of a servant, and it is very likely that he is the first person of the fifth and third princes of the Yuan family!" As for his brother Yuan Shu, whom the lord has mentioned many times, he is just a Shangshutai Shangshu! ”

Now, Yuan Cheng and Yuan Feng have passed away, and Yuan Kui, the third elder of the Yuan family who now lives in Situ, has naturally become the head of the Yuan family. It can be said that the entire Yuan family is full of talents, and its protégés and former officials are all over the world, and they deserve the reputation of the world's first wealthy family! ”

Nan Ying listened with relish, and suddenly said in surprise: "What about Yuan Shao?" What is his current position? Why didn't Wen He mention this person! ”

Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "This person was also quite famous back then, and he served as the magistrate of Puyang County at the age of twenty, but later he fell into bad luck by mistake!" Still white! ”

Nanying was taken aback, it turned out that Yuan Shao, who had almost unified China, was still depressed at this time, but how could this be? Although Yuan Shao is Yuan Feng's concubine, he has inherited the family business of his uncle Yuan Cheng and is the master of the long house. Isn't the Yuan family the number one wealthy family in the world? How can the owner of the long house be allowed to remain unsuccessful so far?

Jia Xu saw Nanying's doubts and chuckled: "The reason is one person!" ”

"Who?" Nan Ying said strangely, "Could it be that Yuan Kui suppressed his nephew?" ”

"Wrong, the Yuan family is so prosperous, and it completely depends on the four words of sincere unity." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Otherwise, how could you have knocked down Liang Ji, Yang Qiu and others back then?" If Yuan Shao has made achievements, Yuan Kui is afraid that it will be too late to be happy! ”

He sighed lightly: "The lord should have heard of Li Ying, right?" ”

Nan Ying remembered what Emperor Ling had said about the party, and nodded: "Not bad! This person seemed to be the mainstay of the DPRK and the leader of the party, but later died in prison because of the party! ”

"That's right! That is the second party rebellion launched today! Jia Xu looked into the distance in a daze, "Hehe! Li Yuanli, the world's model, is not afraid of Chen Zhongju, and the world's handsome Wang Shumao! What about being famous all over the world? Didn't you end up in a different place? ”

Nan Ying was puzzled: "What does this Li Ying, Li Yuanli and Yuan Shaobu have to do with it?" ”

Jia Xu said slowly: "It has a lot to do with it!" Yuan Shao is Li Ying's son-in-law! ”

"What!" Nan Ying was shocked, "You mean, Yuan Shao also belongs to the party?" Imprisoned! ”

Jia Xu nodded, but did not say any more.

Nanying's heart shook, and he couldn't help but bow his head and think deeply.

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe is indeed very knowledgeable and knows everything about the Yuan family, but there is an interesting anecdote about this Mrs. Yuan Situ, I don't know how many people have ever heard of it?" ”

Nan Ying and Jia Xu lifted their spirits together and said, "Oh? Please tell me about it! ”

A pretended mysterious look flashed on Zhang Ji's face, and he cleared his throat and said: "It is said that back then, Yuan Situ and his wife were on their wedding night.......

"Stop, stop!" Nanying interrupted, "How do you know about people's wedding nights?" Make it up! ”

Zhang Ji shouted: "How can I, Zhang Ji, be a person who talks about it?" ”

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it!" This story is what I told when I was serving as the Taishou of Changsha and entertained a member of the Yuan clan when he was drunk! Everyone, too, should keep it a secret! ”

Nan Ying couldn't help but be curious, and said hurriedly: "I see, I don't think it's gossip!" Come on! ”

Zhang Ji was stunned and said, "Xiaodao? Does it mean that the road is small? But ......."

Nanying shouted in unison: "Wordy! Say it! ”

Zhang Ji smiled awkwardly and said: "Back then, the marriage between the Yuan family and the Ma family was a typical political alliance, not to mention that both sides were well-known scholarly families in China, which can really be said to be a major event that shook the world!" ”

"But Nanyang is too shou Ma Rong, although he is a great Confucian in the world, but there are many dirty diseases, and the world is ashamed of his extravagant life and accepting bribes, and his brother Zhao Qi, the son-in-law of Ma Xu, is also a great literati, so he broke off his friendship with him!"

"On the wedding day, it caused Yuan's dissatisfaction, why? The dowry of his daughter's marriage far exceeded the man's dowry. This made Yuan Tang, the head of the Yuan family at that time, angry, and made Yuan Kui reprimand him in person, embarrassing Ma Lun, a talented woman! ”

Nanying was fascinated by this, and couldn't help blurting out: "Ma Lun has the reputation of a talented woman, but I am afraid that I will not be able to blame it, but I will be humiliated by it!" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Ji clapped his hands and said, "That's right!" I heard that Yuan Kui asked a total of three questions, but they were all refuted! ”

"The first question to Mullen: When a woman gets married, she can prepare the cleaning tools at home, why do she bring so many gold and silver things?"

Mullen said to him: This is the love of my parents, how can I refuse? If the husband admires Bao Xuan and Liang Hong, then I am also willing to learn from Shaojun and Meng Guang! ”

Jia Xu laughed and said: "Bao Xuan and Liang Hong are both noble people from poor backgrounds, let him Yuan Kui follow them to live a hard life?" It's better to ask for his fate! ”

Nanying suddenly praised in his heart, the name of this woman is really true, and Yuan Kui's eyes can be rolled in one sentence.

He chuckled and said, "Lord Situ can be regarded as having met an opponent, what about the second question?" ”

Zhang Ji said again: "Lord Yuan asked again: My father-in-law is famous all over the world, and no one is disrespectful, but how did I hear that his old man has been repeatedly criticized for being an official and corrupt? ”

Nan Ying was stunned and said, "Why did Lord Situ ask so mercilessly? It's my father-in-law, after all! How did Miss Ma answer? ”

"Ma Lun replied again: Confucius is a saint, and Uncle Wu slanders, Zilu is a wise man, and there are still Boliao false accusations, although my father is famous, but he is not as good as these two, and it is not a strange thing to be popular and then spread rumors!"

Nanying couldn't help but applaud: "Well said! To err is human? Lord Situ is afraid that he has nothing to say! ”

Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Not bad! So this third question, Lord Situ had no choice but to point the finger at Miss Ma herself! ”

He asked, "According to custom, if the elder brother has not yet taken a wife, the younger brother cannot marry first." So I waited until my two brothers got married, and then I married Miss. But Miss's sister is not married yet, why did you marry me Yuan Kui? Is there something out of place? ”

Nan Ying shook his head and said: "This is Li Qu Zi is playing a scoundrel, this Lord Situ is not kind!" How can you say that people and girls are like that? ”

He thought for a while and said, "This Miss Ma is only afraid that it will not be easy to answer." This question is a bit insulting to women's character through the big hat of custom! ”

Zhang Jiren smiled: "You guessed wrong!" Miss Ma's answer is the reason why Yuan Kui is still respectful to his wife to this day! ”

Nan Ying's eyes lit up and said, "How did she answer?" ”

She replied, "That's right!" But there is no way, my sister has a noble character, far better than me, so naturally I have to spend some time choosing a wishful man, not like my Ma Lun, who is only rough in learning and has a poor appearance, so I have to marry someone casually! ”

When Nanying heard this, he trembled all over, and couldn't help laughing, causing soldiers and pedestrians from near and far to turn their heads to look.

He laughed for a long time before he realized that the gate of Yuan's Mansion was approaching, and he couldn't help but suppress his laughter and said to himself: "What a legendary talented woman!" I wish I had known her earlier! ”

Zhang Ji suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "Just talking about these boring things, are you sure that you can cure this Mrs. Yuan's malaria?" ”

Nanying smiled mysteriously at him and said, "What do you say? ”
