After meeting Yan Xiang and others, Sun Ce led Yuan Quan to see Cai Yong. Cai Yong has a close relationship with the Yuan family and can be regarded as an elder of Yuan Shu. This time, I came to preside over Yuan Shu's funeral, which was to give Yuan Shu a big face. He didn't use it to meet Yuan Quan, but Yuan Quan had to visit him.

After the salute, they each got into the car. At this time, Yuan Quan said to Sun Ce, "I have arranged for people to camp outside the city, and you will live there." ”

Sun Ce was surprised. "Why, can't live in the city?"

Yuan Quan smiled bitterly. "You settle down first, and I'll talk to you about it later."

Sun Ce didn't say a word, and hurried to the chosen location with Yuan Quan. Tents have been set up there, and the men and horses led by Lei Bo and Chen Lan live in it. When Sun Ce entered the camp, the tents were all new, the place was quite spacious, and the facilities were complete.

Sun Ce stood in the big tent, looking left and right, and always felt that it was not a taste. Rushed all the way to Ruyang, and was not even allowed to enter the city, so he lived in the military camp outside the city?

"Do you regret it?" Yuan Quan took Yuan Heng's hand and walked over.

"Sort of, indeed." Sun Ce touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Your Yuan family is worthy of being a wealthy family, and the etiquette is strict. ”

"Can't blame them. Heavenly reincarnation, this is all deserved retribution, but sooner or later. Although the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, in order to make you have a psychological preparation, I will simply expose the ugliness of the family, so as not to have any unrealistic extravagant hopes. ”

Sun Ce rolled his eyes, this is not bad, at least it is better than Yuan Shu's pit.

"Okay, I'll hear you." Sun Ce let Yuan Quan into the tent and ordered Pang Tong to boil a pot of chrysanthemum tea. After a while, the fragrance overflowed, and Yuan Quan introduced the situation of the Yuan family to Sun Ce in the fragrance of flowers.

The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, many people only saw the Yuan family's Xuanhe momentum, but few people noticed the division within the Yuan family. Yuan An is famous for his virtue, and his descendants have also produced a lot of celebrities, such as the second generation of Yuan Jing and Yuan Chang are known for their learning, and their official reputation is also good, and the third generation of Yuan Peng, Yuan Tang and others Although their knowledge is not as good as their fathers and ancestors, they can always keep their own self-defense, but the family style has been relaxed, and the fourth generation - Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, Yuan Kui, and the fifth generation - Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others Sun Ce is generally familiar with the situation, so there is no need for Yuan Quan to say more.

But not all the children of the Yuan family are like this, and there are those who stick to the family style and refuse to conform to the customs, such as the descendants of Yuan Peng. These people took the initiative to keep a distance from Yuan Feng, Yuan Kui and others, lived in Ruyang's hometown, did not go to Luoyang, and were unwilling to contact Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui even if they were officials. In order to show that the descendants of the Yuan family are not all like Yuan Feng and others, he closed himself in an earthen room and did not go out until he died. Although his younger brothers Yuan Zhong and Yuan Hong are not as exaggerated as him, they also consciously maintain discipline.

According to the Confucian patriarchal law, Yuan Peng is the eldest son of Yuan Jing, and among the existing children of the Yuan family, the Yuan Hong brothers are the main ones, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu cannot be compared. In the world, Yuan Shao is the head of the Yuan family. In Ruyang's hometown, they are the representatives of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shu's ancestral home is from Ruyang, but he was neither born nor lived in Ruyang. Sister Yuan Quan returned to her hometown, and the Yuan family vacated a courtyard for them to live in. Although they are all surnamed Yuan, they are not all the way in the first place, if it weren't for the fact that Yuan Shu is dead, no one will pay attention to them at all.

Yuan Quan was very knowledgeable and knew that one courtyard was not enough to live, so he could only arrange for Sun Ce to camp outside the city.

"I've wronged the general." Yuan Quan apologized again.

After listening to Yuan Quan's explanation, Sun Ce wanted to cry without tears. He had long known that Yuan Shu's appeal was limited and could not be compared with Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. This is an inheritance, it is simply negative equity, no wonder as soon as Yuan Shu in history became the emperor, Sun Ce immediately drew a line with him.

Daddy Sun Jian has a set of wars, and his vision for choosing the master is really not very good. But then again, he didn't have much of a choice. No matter how bad Yuan Shu's reputation is, it is several levels stronger than the Sun family. Although he is working hard to run Nanyang now, it is better than his father in Yuzhou. According to Pang Shanmin, so far, no celebrity in Runan and Yingchuan has taken the initiative to join Sun Jian, but Sun Jian is still Cheng Pu and Han Dang, and there is not a drop of fresh blood. The only strategist is Pang Shanmin, who must not leave, so Pang Shanmin will rush back to Yingchuan immediately after dealing with Wancheng.

Although the foundation left by Yuan Shu is weak, it cannot be said that there is nothing at all, such as Yan Xiang.

"I'm nothing, anyway, after sending the general into the ground, I probably won't come to Ruyang. What are you going to do, stay here? ”

"What else?"

"Come with me. I can at least keep you safe. ”

"There won't be any war in Runan for the time being, right? Even if I had been beaten from my uncle, I would not have attacked our sisters. ”

"The situation is complicated now, and I can't say for sure." Sun Ce explained the general situation, and finally said: "Liu Xun and the others refused to even come to the funeral, presumably because they were bent on voting for the Yuan League master." The life and death of the venerable husband Huang Yi is unknown, if he also supports Liu Xun, it is better to say, with his protection, you will not be humiliated. If he dies unyieldingly, I don't know if Liu Xun will be bad for you. ”

Yuan Quan frowned lightly and was silent. Yuan Heng leaned beside her, staring at Sun Ce with a pair of big eyes.

"Please let me think again, General."

Sun Ce hesitated for a while and nodded reluctantly. "No problem."

Yuan Quan sighed softly. "Please don't misunderstand, general, it's not that I want to withdraw when I see the difficult situation, it's really that my brother's life and death are unknown, my father has no heirs behind him, and there is not even a tomb guard, so it's desolate. After three years of mourning, no matter where the general was, I would send my sister to see the general and fulfill my father's last wish. ”

Sun Ce smiled bitterly. Three years later, Yuan Heng is only thirteen years old, according to the habits of this era, he can get married, but I can't accept it at all. It really makes no difference whether you send it or not, and the current crisis is the most headache. History has gone off the rails, and no one knows what the next situation will be, so he is unwilling to make extraneous troubles and watch Sister Yuan Quan fall into the hands of Liu Xun and others, adding unexpected troubles to the next pacification of Jingzhou. In case Huang Yi takes refuge in Liu Xun and strikes a blow, who knows what choice Yuan Quan will make.

He came to Ruyang this time, and the funeral for Yuan Shu was secondary, and controlling them in his own hands was the main thing. But Yuan Quan wanted to guard Yuan Shu's tomb, and he really couldn't find a suitable reason to persuade him, so he had to give up for the time being, and then talk about it after the funeral was done first, and he couldn't talk about it as soon as they met. Anyway, he has to wait for news from Sun Jian now, and he has to stay in Ruyang for a while.

"Go back in that carriage." Sun Ce said: "I tried it, and it's not bad. ”

Yuan Quan's voice was very calm, but his eyes were very sharp. "Is it Miss Achu's invention?"

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, blinked his eyes, wanted to laugh but didn't laugh. Talking to Yuan Quan, he always had a feeling that he was not wearing underwear, and she could see everything through. He touched his nose weakly, acquiescing.

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Yuan Quan touched Yuan Heng's head lovingly. "My father was ridiculous all his life, and finally did the wisest thing, but Ah Heng was young and unfair to the general. Miss Achu is smart and intelligent, and can help the general fulfill his father's last wish, and our sisters know how to be grateful. If the general wants to take her as a concubine, he can do it at any time, as long as he conforms to etiquette and doesn't mess up his dignity. You tell me? ”

Sun Ce stroked his forehead and sighed. "Sister, you've said everything, what else can I say. Sister, if you are a man, you will definitely be better than the blue, and one generation will be stronger than the next. ”

Yuan Quan, who had been sitting upright and not smiling, glared at Sun Ce, and finally didn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"Are you praising me or scolding me?"
