After such a long time, the children of the Zhen family have also passed the sad period.

After sending off the guests one after another, Yuan Xi also wanted to go back, but there was one thing that made him speechless, that is, the third son of the Zhen family and the daughters who had not yet left the cabinet, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, Zhen Mi, etc., needed to keep filial piety. The third son needs to keep filial piety for three years, and the fourth daughter needs one year.

That is, except for Zhen Tuo, no one else can follow him back.

Because Zhen Tuo was already married, he didn't have to keep filial piety, but when he saw that everyone was staying, he also looked at Yuan Xi with pleading eyes.

Yuan Xi could only promise her to stay for a while.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao are very embarrassed, because the two of them have positions, and they want to go back with Yuan Xi, for fear of being said to be unfilial, and if they don't go back, they are afraid that their positions will be gone. After all, you have to keep filial piety for three years.

Yuan Xi seemed to know this, so he found the two of them in the room, and encouraged them, and the two of them were relieved to keep filial piety.

Before leaving, everyone came to see them off, and when they were ten miles away, Yuan Xi waved his hand and asked everyone to go back.

There is no need to be in such a hurry on the way back, Yuan Xi and Cai Yan are going back in a carriage.

The carriage was walking on the official road, swaying, but Yuan Xi was not in a very good mood.

It's not because none of the people in the Zhen family came back with him, but because Zhen Yu didn't tell him from beginning to end that his father had something to say to him, even if it was Aunt Liu.

In other words, the current situation is that before Zhen Yi died, there was nothing left, at least on the surface.

This is somewhat painful, but Zhen Yi is not old and confused, how old is he and how is his body, can he not know? Why don't you have a plan to explain the future?

"Husband, what do you think?" Cai Yan saw that he was frowning all the way, and couldn't help but gently smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows with his hand.

"Oh, it's okay, I thought about it for a while." Yuan Xi leaned on the carriage, put aside his annoying thoughts, and muttered, "This carriage is too bad." ”

Cai Yan smiled lightly: "Of course, it can't be compared with the carriage in our house, compared to when I came before, I am already very satisfied." ”

Yuan Xi hugged her in his arms and said with concern: "Okay, right?" ”

Cai Yan's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "It's almost, but there are still some ugly traces, I'll go back and ask Yingfeng to find some ointment to apply and remove the traces." ”

When Cai Yan came on horseback, it was a little bitter for her after all, and the inside of her legs was worn out a little, but Cai Yan was stunned and didn't say a word until Yuan Xi wanted to make love to her.

Yuan Xi didn't say anything I don't care, don't apply ointment or anything like that, just hugged her tightly and mumbled.

When I returned to Jixian, it was already the end of September.

During this period, Zhang Yingfeng obtained Diao Xiuer's consent and moved out of the house, but it was only temporary, in her words, to improve her medical skills, and then come back to serve everyone well.

After Yuan Xi heard Diao Xiu'er say, he didn't think there was any problem, anyway, they were all in Jixian County, and whoever was sick could just summon him.

There is still no movement in Jizhou, this is what Yuan Xi is most willing to see, as for the rest of the world, the most active is Jiangdong Xiaobawang and the brave and unparalleled, known as the first in the world, Lu Bu, Yuan Xi is too lazy to know what news they have, after all, they are all masters who don't last long.

In the land of the four counties of Xianbei, under Han Yin's vigorous reforms and heavy benefits, countless Han people poured in, which greatly surprised Yuan Xi.

But it's more about being happy, after all, if it goes on like this, it's only a matter of time before Xianbei is assimilated.

In addition, the population of Xianbei is already quite large, if Youzhou adds Xianbei and counts the total population, then Yuan Xi currently has a total population of more than 2 million. (Youzhou's original five or six hundred thousand, plus Zhang Ning's hundreds of thousands, and the entire population of Xianbei)

The number is quite large, but unfortunately the women in it account for the majority, especially the Xianbei women, there are more than 500,000.

Every day, countless people pour into Youzhou, Youzhou is developing rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, Yuan Xi is happy, but also worried, this will attract his father's attention, but now he can't stop, he can't scruple about anything, if he cares about it again, then he will die.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao didn't seem to be careless.

Yuan Xi's development is so good, of course, he will not enjoy the fruit alone, and he will send medium horses to Jizhou once in half a year, so that Yuan Shao has enough war horses.

The school and medical hall in Youzhou have also opened.

In short, Youzhou and even the whole of Hebei are developing in the direction of prosperity.

In comparison, the princes of other places seemed too small.

None of them can compare with Yuan Shao's huge battleship.

The year 198 A.D.

In the first month of the new year, Yuan Xi received news that Lu Bu and Liu Bei had a fight.

After Yuan Xi heard the news, he didn't have much of a feeling, because this was what should have happened in normal chronological order.

If nothing else, Liu Bei will definitely be defeated by Lu Bu, but it is unknown whether he surrendered to his father or Cao Cao, after all, Xuzhou is now garrisoned by his father Yuan Shao.

Yuan Xi didn't bother to care about him, it was useless to take care of him, this guy would definitely run to Liu Biao's side in the end.

For Liu Bei's ability to escape, Yuan Xi has always admired it.

Now it is the spring ploughing season, and Youzhou is a busy scene, and Yuan Xi himself is a lot more relaxed.

After Yuan Xi finished correcting the official document, he was about to go to rest and rest, when he suddenly thought of something.

It's been months since he remembered it from last year.

Yuan Xi hurriedly said to Gan Baobao: "Go and call the judge." ”

"Yes, my lord."

What Yuan Xi was thinking about was naturally Guo Jia, the last time he came back from Wuji, he forgot about it, after all, there were many things to deal with, and it was difficult for him to remember, and the most important thing was that the trial did not mention it to him.

This made him have a bad premonition in his heart, could it be that Guo Jia had already surrendered to Cao Cao, and he was afraid that he would be angry, so he didn't say it?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, and Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

After the trial came, Yuan Xi slapped the table case, glared at him and said, "Zhengnan, Guo Jia's matter, why didn't you tell me?" ”

The judge lowered his head in embarrassment and explained: "Don't be angry, I saw that the lord didn't mention him, and I thought that the lord already knew, so I didn't say much." ”

Yuan Xi sighed and said lightly: "Has he already voted for Cao Cao?" ”

The judge raised his head and said, "No, he was captured by us." ”

Yuan Xi stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Really? ”

The judge laughed dryly: "But the corners of this person's mouth are not clean, and the scolding is quite ugly, and he has been jailed by his humble position." ”
