Regardless of Yuan Shu's lingering relationship with Diao Chan, Jia Xu and Xun You left Yuan Shu's mansion and came to a dilapidated and hidden tavern.

The two sat opposite each other, Jia Xu gently picked up the wine jug that the servant brought to the table, poured double the wine for Xun You and himself, and then raised his wine glass and drank it all, looking at Xun You. Seeing this, Xun You also raised his wine glass expressionlessly and drank it all.

"Wenhe, you did it!" After drinking a glass of bitter wine, Xun You spoke.

"Yes, don't thank me." Jia Xu continued to pour the wine unhurriedly and said slowly.

"You made my Xun family suffer a heavy loss, and you want me to thank you?" Xun You stared at Jia Xu, who got up to pour wine for himself, and said indignantly.

"Or what do you think? My lord's last words weren't just for me. If you are also well versed in self-preservation, you should know what I mean. Finding that Xun Yu didn't appreciate it, Jia Xu simply picked up his wine glass and drank it himself, not caring about it.

Jia Xu was telling the truth, if it weren't for the fear that Yuan Shu would be difficult to do, if he didn't regard Xun You as a friend, he would never have done such a thankless job.

Xun You looked at Jia Xu's sincere eyes, sighed, picked up his wine glass and drank it all: "I also understand, but this is a great opportunity, I want to give it a go." ”

Jia Xu, who was pouring wine for himself, put down the wine jug when he heard this, and looked at Xun You with a solemn face: "Gongda, for the sake of friends, I advise you, people should be content, and they must know how to accept when they see it." Your plan seems to be fine, but the lord's straightforward personality is that he knows that if you calculate, he will most likely only be unhappy, and will never break his principles. But you have to understand that if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. ”

"Gongda, you seem to be as good at self-preservation as I am, but in fact you are completely different from me. What I ask for is all self-preservation, and what you ask for is to lie dormant for development. When you took the initiative to join the lord's command, you still have such a momentum in your heart. ”

After taking another sip of wine, Jia Xu was slightly drunk and said: "Although the wine made by the lord is good, it lacks time to settle after all. Strong enough but not mellow enough, for literati like us, it's still the same good wine as before! ”

"Don't underestimate the old immortals in your family, they are the real scheming. On the surface, I was the one behind the scenes, but they pretended to be confused and took the opportunity to step down. After all, you're planning too big, and they're worried. ”

"The foundation of your Xun family is not to fight for power, but to build a foundation. Your plan is seen by the Jiangdong family, it's okay if it doesn't work, once it succeeds, your Xun family will be the target of everyone, and there will be no place in the south. ”

"It's best to stop now. With the contribution of your Xun family, this time the lord will be no less than the Lu family and the Cai family in Yizhou. Moreover, your Xun family has been kind to many families in Jiangdong this time, so you can use this to expand your contacts and integrate into the Jiangdong family. ”

How fine Jia Xu is! Ten years longer than Xun Yu was not lived in vain. He didn't want to make a fuss about this matter at the beginning, but someone inadvertently reminded him to think of it.

However, he realized that something was wrong at the first time, and after a little thought, he knew that it was the ghost idea of the old foxes of the Xun family. I want him to be this scapegoat and share the pressure on Yuan Shu and Xun You.

With Jia Xu's character, he would never do what they wanted, and most of them would turn a blind eye and stay out of the matter. However, considering that this matter involved Xun You and Yuan Shu, Jia Xu didn't want Xun You to be difficult, so he simply did as they wished, and became a scapegoat. After all, it wouldn't hurt him to bear this matter, on the contrary, he could win Yuan Shu's relief and Xun You's gratitude.

The entire family elder united to secretly rebel against the head of the family, and the Xun family did a lot of this kind of thing. After all, the most important thing in this family is talent, and the old monsters in the family are coming in waves.

Xun You figured everything out when Yuan Shu said that, and the group of old guys in the family tricked him, the head of the family.

However, Xun You also slowly accepted this after listening to Jia Xu's words. He believed in Jia Xu's vision very much, and the reason why the patriarch of the family did not tell him these things was because he hoped that he could slowly realize it.

After all, the head of the family should be high and infallible in a family. A family only needs one voice. If it was up to them, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not attack Xun You's authority, so they would choose this method with good intentions.

In short, in the eyes of most people in the family, the "ambitious" plan of Xun You, the head of the Han Xun family in Jiangdong, was ruined due to the eagerness for quick success and quick profit of some "short-sighted" people in the family. This matter is thus closed.

"There are really a lot of twists and turns within your big family, isn't it just a matter of difference of opinion, as for it?" Jia Xu sighed.

Xun You's face was slightly tired: "Born in a family and enjoying the convenience brought by the family, you have to bear everything brought by the family." For the sake of the prosperity of the family, someone must always make sacrifices, and this has been the case since ancient times. ”

Jia Xu shook his head, he was alone, even if he was resourceful, he didn't want to care about the family's cats: "Anyway, this matter is settled." You don't have to thank me, if there are unscrupulous people in my descendants in the future, your Xun family will help you one or two. ”

Xun You's face darkened: "Just do such a trivial thing and let the Xun family take care of your back, are you too greedy?" ”

Jia Xu smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, I can't lose your Xun family." This is just the beginning, and the big head is behind! ”

Xun You knew what the old fox had guessed as soon as he saw Jia Xu's Zhizhu in his hand, and sighed lightly: "It seems that our Xun family can't get rid of you." ”

"It's mutually beneficial! Your Xun family has a big business, and it is not difficult to bring up my lonely descendants. The help I have given you is absolutely worth it. ”

Jia Xu is exaggerating, but in fact, it is just an insurance policy for his descendants. It is impossible for him to stand with the Xun family, and it is enough to mention one or two points at the most critical time.

"Have you figured out what to do with those old guys when you go back?" Achieved his goal, Jia Xu asked casually.

Xun You's eyes were certain when he heard this, and he said in a calm tone: "They are wrong, so naturally they have to accept punishment." However, they are also for the sake of the family, so they can be dealt with lightly. ”

Jia Xu smiled and nodded: "Yes, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the grace and power are combined." Presumably, this is also the result that the old guys want to see the most. Gongda, it can be said that it was careless to be calculated by those old guys this time, so you have to pay attention in the future. As the head of the house, you can't make mistakes, so you must think twice before doing things, and don't let these people suffer for you again. ”

Xun You nodded solemnly: "I understand, this time I owe them, so I will naturally try my best to become a real head of the family as soon as possible as they wish." ”
