The three of them entered the main house, and after greeting Mrs. Liu, they could walk around. Wait until noon to eat.

Yuan Xi pulled the second daughter and wanted to find a clean house to sit in, but as soon as he came out of the main house, he saw the eldest brother Yuan Tan and his wife in the small pavilion on the other side, seemingly chatting with others.

"Big brother." Yuan Xi shouted. Pulling the two girls forward.

Cai Yan said: "Husband, the eldest brother is discussing business, how about us in the past?" ”

"It's okay, didn't you see that your sister-in-law was also there?" Yuan Xi shook his head indifferently, and pulled the two girls to the front in a blink of an eye.

"Second brother, you're here too." Yuan Tan greeted his wife, and Hu immediately put on a smile and walked towards Diao Xiu'er and Cai Yan.

Yuan Xi smiled at Yuan Tan, then turned to Hu Shi and said: "Sister-in-law, you didn't come last time, this time I will introduce you, this is Cai Yan, this is Diao Xiu'er, they are all my wife, you can talk." ”

"The two younger siblings are really beautiful, and the second brother is so blessed." Although Hu is a foreign woman, she speaks Chinese very fluently, and soon chatted with the two daughters enthusiastically.

Cai Yan is a master of setting off the atmosphere, coupled with Diao Xiuer's eccentricity, the three girls chatted together after a while.

"Big brother." Yuan Xi turned his head, called out, and then moved his gaze to the scribe who had already stood up, about thirty years old, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Second brother, come, let me introduce you, this is Guo Tu, my best friend in Beijing, this time I came to find my mother for something, so I ran into it."

It turned out that this was Guo Tu, Yuan Xi quickly recalled the news of this person in his mind.

Guo Tu bent down slightly, arched his hand, and said, "Guo Gong has seen the second son." ”

You have seen me, but I have never seen you, Yuan Xi hurriedly replied: "Brother Guo is too polite, since you are my brother's friend, that is, my brother, you can call me Xianyi in the future." ”

Guo Tu smiled slightly, and was not polite, and said: "In this way, the prince will hold it up and call it out." ”

"As it should be, as it should be."

The three of them sat down, and Yuan Xi said: "Brother Guo, what is the difficulty, let's hear it, if you can help, my two brothers will definitely do their best to help." ”

Yuan Tan said: "This matter is very important, it is not for you and me to solve it, my mother has promised Feishu Luoyang to let our father help solve it." ”

Yuan Xi nodded, in his memory, Guo Tu was his father's advisor, but later he followed the eldest brother.

After the failure of this plan, in order to avoid punishment, he blamed Zhang He and Gao Ran, who led the army to attack Cao Ying, causing the two to turn their backs on Cao Ying. Later, he offered a plan to the eldest brother to murder the third brother, but was found out by the trial and matching, which led to the brothers to fight the army, and then persuaded the eldest brother to join Cao Cao to attack the third brother in order to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It can be said that each of Guo Tu's strategies was a stupid trick at that time, and at the time of crisis, the brothers were still fighting in the same room, which was originally the way to bring about their own defeat, can Guo Tuyan not understand? Therefore, Guo Tu is the kind of second-rate strategist who only cares about immediate interests, and he is far from being first-class.

But speaking of which, Guo Tu is not bad, faint is faint, at least he did not surrender, his bones are hard, and he has always served the Yuan family.

The most outstanding thing he did in his life should be to lobby Han Fu to give up Jizhou to his father.

Generally speaking, Yuan Xi's evaluation of the person in front of him is that it can be used, but it can't be used.

After saying a few words, Yuan Xi and Guo Tu have understood each other, Yuan Xi has not had a good reputation over the years, and even has a lustful evil deed, but in terms of dealing with the world, it is generally very suitable, and there is no rudeness.

After talking about it, Guo Tu also has a new understanding of Yuan Xi, although this person is greedy and lustful, and has no ambitions, but it does not mean that he is useless, at least in his opinion, he is stronger than Yuan Shang, the third son of the Yuan family, I don't know how many times.

At about noon, Guo Tu glanced at the sky, stood up and said, "Two sons, please stay, I'm going back." ”

Yuan Tan said: "I won't leave Brother Guo for the New Year, let's see each other in Luoyang next time." ”

Yuan Xi also hugged his fists and said goodbye to him, and just as Guo Tu turned his head and was about to leave, Yuan Xi suddenly said, "Brother Gongze, please stay." ”

Guo Tu paused slightly, turned his head to look at him, and his eyes showed an inquiring look.

Yuan Xi laughed dryly, stepped forward and whispered: "I want to ask Brother Gong Ze about someone, don't blame me." ”

Guo Tu smiled faintly: "Xianyi is polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Brother Gongze, dare to ask if you know Yingchuan Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao?"

In fact, Yuan Xi was also curious for a while, both of them were surnamed Guo, and they were both from Yingchuan, maybe it was not good to say that the brothers of the same clan knew each other, such a famous strategist, Yuan Xi really couldn't help but not ask.

Guo Tu's face was stunned, he looked Yuan Xi up and down, and replied softly: "How did Xianyi know Fengxiao?" ”

Yuan Xi was ecstatic in his heart, but his face did not show it, he tried to make himself a little more normal, and continued: "I have only heard of it occasionally, dare to ask Brother Gongze, do you know where the others are now?" ”

Guo Tu shook his head and said: "Feng Xiao has been wandering all over the world over the years, and his footprints are all over the world, and it is normal for Xianyi to hear about it, but it is not easy to find him now." After a pause, Guo Tumulu asked: "If the second son has something to say, I have the opportunity to spread the word of filial piety." ”

Yuan Xi glanced at him, hesitated in his heart, and finally got it: "Just ask Brother Gongze to pass the word, saying that I have what he wants here, and if he needs it, he can come to find me." ”

Yuan Xi's identity is very embarrassing, even if he wants to recruit talents, he has to be careful, the third brother is already out of line with him, if the eldest brother thinks about it again, the Yuan family is estimated to be finished.

Therefore, even if Yuan Xi was desperate to get this ghost talent in his memory, he didn't dare to say it too much.

Guo Tu looked at him deeply, stopped talking, and left with his fists clenched.

Yuan Xi looked at Guo Tu's back and sighed deeply, there are still a few years before his father can get the land of Sizhou, and there will be a while to take charge of Youzhou.

Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Xi, who was a little inexplicable, thinking that he had taken a fancy to which girl again, and couldn't help but step forward and laugh: "We in Hebei want to talk about beauties, there are really a lot, but if you want to say famous, you have to count the five daughters of the Wuji Zhen family, all of them are stunning." I heard that the fifth daughter of their family, Zhen Mi, is even more captivating to the country and the city, if you have the ability to marry her back, my brother counts you as capable. ”

Yuan Xi naturally heard his teasing words, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "What is this, let her be beautiful and fragrant, when she sees me when she sees me, she is not obediently begging me to be included in the West Room, this is not challenging." ”

Zhen Mi would have been his wife in the future, so Yuan Xi was not ambiguous at all when he talked big. It's just that in this life, he absolutely doesn't allow other accidents to happen.
