Yuan Xixin said in his heart, he already knew that you were going to ask, but fortunately, he had already prepared an excuse.

"Madam, you said that our Yuan family, after a hundred years from my father, who will inherit my father's position."

Cai Yan frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Naturally, it is the eldest brother, but there have been rumors recently, and the third brother's voice is also very high." ”

Yuan Xi nodded, and asked again: "Do you know why Yuan Shang, as the third son, has such a high voice?" ”

Cai Yan shook his head, and then thought that Yuan Xi couldn't see it, and said loudly: "I don't know." Is there any reason here? ”

"Of course there is, he has a third son, and his voice is now higher than that of the eldest brother, and the essential reason here is that his father meant it, or rather, he himself instructed it this way." Yuan Xi explained to her.

Cai Yan's palm pinching his back paused slightly, "Since ancient times, abolishing the elder and establishing the young is the way to take trouble, why did my father do this?" ”

Yuan Xi sighed: "No one can guess it, it's just that my father has this attitude, so naturally someone will help him, which is why Yuan Shang is obviously the third child and the most popular." ”

Smiling, Yuan Xi continued: "I guess, the main thing is that this kid looks like his father, and he can make sycophants, which has to convince me and my eldest brother." ”

Cai Yan felt funny and said in a low voice: "What do you say this has to do with you looking for a beauty?" ”

"It has a lot to stake!" Yuan Xi shook the water with his hand.

"Father is not stupid, he can't let his three sons, all participate in this war for the heir, all he gave me the attitude is to let me not help anyone, I can't think about it, last time I actually tried it once, it seems that he is still quite satisfied with the effect, and now I just got Xianbei, although this is a barren land, but its war horses are in short supply in the Central Plains. If I think he's mine, the end result won't be mine. ”

"But everyone knows that you are close to the eldest brother, and you still have conflicts with the third brother." Cai Yan was still puzzled.

Yuan Xi explained with a smile: "So the eldest brother and I are one south and one north, and there is a Jizhou in the middle, isn't it separated?" ”

Cai Yan suddenly realized and said in surprise: "These are all things that you came up with, husband?" ”

Yuan Xi's boss was dissatisfied, got up, grabbed Cai Yan, pulled her into his arms, and slapped her her bulging buttocks, and the crisp voice came out far away.

"Husband!" Cai Yan accidentally fell into the water, and his hair was wet, and he came out of the water to hit him.

The two quarreled for a while, this time Yuan Xi held Cai Yan in his arms and helped her pinch her shoulders and beat her back, but if it was not simply pinching her shoulders and beating her back, it was not enough to be with outsiders!

In short, Cai Yan's face has always been red.

"But, but what does this have to do with your beauty pageant?" Cai Yan still didn't understand, thinking that he was diverting the topic and talking about it left and right.

Yuan Xi kissed her and said with a smile: "My talented lady, don't you know that once some things are broken, others will seem to be stupid?" ”

Cai Yan made a petty temperament and pouted: "I'm stupid, if I'm smart, where would I be with you, a ridiculous and lascivious pervert." ”

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, the laughter seemed to spread over there, and Diao Xiu'er's voice not far away came from afar: "Husband! ”

"Xiu'er!" Yuan Xi replied with a smile.

"Come here, there are so many mermaids here, waiting to be fed."

Then there was a frolicking sound.

Yuan Xi shook his head, and said in his heart, I want to go over, but it's inconvenient now.

However, this Xianbei selection of beauties still has to be explained to Cai Yan, Cai Yan is a little good, as long as she doesn't come back with a woman without brains, she usually won't care, so the necessary explanation is still needed.

In fact, he hinted just now, if Cai Yan knew something about the current situation, he should be able to know, but unfortunately he overestimated Cai Yan's political acumen.

"So you should know that my current position is not to help each other, but also to make an action to show my father, this time I came back and sent 50,000 war horses to my father, just to show him that I am still his good son, although I can fight, but I have no ambition; And then the matter of choosing beautiful women is nothing more than the spread of my romantic reputation, which will make my father more reassured, after all, I was famous for being lustful before. ”

"You're a true wolf." Cai Yan ruthlessly dismantled him.

"Ahem, okay, true color." Yuan Xi said in his heart, just talk about it.

"Got it now, right?" Yuan Xi said quite proudly: "It doesn't matter to my father to lay down Xianbei, after all, in the bitter cold land, you have to send troops to garrison it." This is not an era of peace, now is an important period of the Central Plains War, my father is eager to practice all the soldiers and horses, so that the world can be conquered, all as long as I am still stubborn Yuan Xi, although I have the talent to lead the troops to fight, but but do not seek progress, no ambition, once he understands, he will throw Xianbei to me. ”

"I kind of get it." Cai Yan nodded, Yuan Xi explained very thoroughly this time.

"You don't understand." Yuan Xi got carried away for a while.

"I understand!" Cai Yan didn't follow, and came to pinch him again.

Yuan Xi hurriedly surrendered defeat and bullied back.

"Actually, there is another important point, my snobbery is a little bigger, and it will also be good for the future."

"For us?" Cai Yan asked.

"Of course it's good for us, needless to say, what I'm talking about is what my father thinks is good for him, because in the future, no matter who gets the position of father between the eldest brother and Yuan Shang, with my help, they will definitely be able to recover faster."

Yuan Xi couldn't help but think that during the Chinese New Year before, in Yecheng, he and Yuan Shang quarreled, and his father angrily reprimanded Yuan Shang.

Who said Yuan Shao had no brains? It's just that he didn't expect such a big mistake between his sons. Or that Yuan Shao is too confident.

However, compared to Yuan Shao's defeat, Yuan Xi prefers to attribute it to Shi Ye's fate. More superstitious to look at him.

Cao Cao was the Mandate of Heaven at that time.

It's just that at this time, with the memory of two lives, will you become a variable in it?

Cai Yan said that after understanding, she still had doubts about how to deal with Yuan Xi's selection of so many beauties.

So I asked the puzzle in my heart.

"It's simple," Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Xianbei women are much thicker and stronger than our Han women, and when the time comes, training them in martial arts will be more effective than those maids trained in our house, and we will also send the servants in the outer courtyard out of the outer courtyard, let them help with business, and let these Xianbei women live in the outer courtyard, and we will be more convenient in the future." ”
