Chapter Forty-Eight: Two Women
After Diao Chan lived in the courtyard of Beihai, a legend began to circulate here, everyone said that this courtyard lived a great nobleman, that is, the Yuan Hou family who built the port, this kind of good marquis who brought welfare to the people, that must be respected.

Therefore, for the people who came out to buy in this courtyard, they immediately had a feeling of being superior, because everyone was polite and very kind and respectful when they saw them.
Even if they buy a dish, those vendors will specially pick out the best, for fear that the other party will accidentally buy too many wormholes, which will affect the mood of Yuan Hou's family to eat.
Yuan Yun has been pursuing this kind of fox and fake tiger life, he doesn't want to be given priority to enjoy by a group of people from the palace, if he knows, he will definitely scold the unlucky.
Qing'er didn't choose to stay, because she was in a hurry to return to Xudu to meet a few family members, they were probably impatient to wait, even after receiving the news that Yuan Yun was safe, they were still anxious all day long.
Zhen Mi's life is much more exciting now, she is now studying the greenhouse in this new yard every day, and she finds that there are many crops that are not out of season, and they are growing well, which is a priceless treasure for Zhen, who has been farming for several generations.
Therefore, Zhen Mi now gets up early every day, then puts on a headscarf, and stays for a whole day after entering the conservatory, and sometimes even needs Diao Chan to send someone to call him in person, so that he will remember to go to dinner.
Diao Chan finished handling the charter in his hand, and then looked at the small courtyard outside, this house is very large, and there are as many as five or six rooms in the back house, but Zhen Mi chose to live with him.
Diao Chan knows very well that although Zhen Mi looks shrewd and capable, she is actually still an insecure girl in her bones, she is far away from Zhongshan for the first time, so she will naturally be a little worried, but fortunately, Yuan Yun introduced the greenhouse to Zhen Mi when she left, otherwise she would have been very difficult during this time.
The sword soldiers transported to Youzhou have arrived safely, and the beggar gang has also responded, once these weapons are in the hands of the underground party in Youzhou, it is conceivable what storm will be set off.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao confronted each other in Guandu, and if a civil uprising broke out in the rear, I believe that the battle situation in Guandu would definitely change.
And Yuan Yun also went to Guandu at the moment, saying that he was going over there to fight with the gunpowder army, Diao Chan began to investigate the intelligence of the gunpowder army a long time ago, and naturally had an assessment of the combat power of this army, and those terrifying gunpowder would definitely be able to exert great power on the battlefield.
But Yuan Shao's troops are strong, and it may not be enough for a mere gunpowder army to turn the tide of the war, after all, Yuan Shao has 200,000 soldiers, even if he doesn't resist and let the gunpowder army kill one by one, it will take more than half a month.
Thinking of this, Diao Chan unconsciously began to worry about Yuan Yun.
After getting along these days, Diao Chan found that this junior brother really cared about himself, unlike his father who used him to pacify Dong Zhuo's rebellion, nor like Lu Bu who coveted his beauty, Yuan Yun just sent a kind of care from his heart, just like he said, this is the feeling of family, there is no purpose, only carelessness.
"Sister Diao Chan, you see that these vegetables and fruits called watermelons and melons are really big and sweet, and juicy, and they taste very soft, Yuan Hou said that this thing is produced in Africa, with the caravan from the Western Regions flowing into our Central Plains, and said that it is not easy to go on a journey of thousands of miles, and I don't know if it is true or false."
When Zhen Mi spoke, she ran in with two melons and fruits, sweating profusely, but her face was full of smiles.
Diao Chan smiled, put down the charter in his hand, then took the watermelon, and handed a handkerchief over, and then said: "Such a heavy thing is told to be taken by someone, why bother to hold it yourself, and Brother Yuan said that there are tens of thousands of miles, then it is estimated that it is right, he knows a lot of things, but there are few mistakes, I believe this." ”
Zhen Mi also nodded, had already walked to a desk, then picked a knife, and began to cut melons, his face full of anticipation.
After a while, the melon was finally cut, and sure enough, the fragrance of the melon wafted out, and even Diao Chan swallowed his saliva.
After taking a small piece from Zhen Mi and tasting it, Diao Chan said, "Sister Zhen, are you going to take all these good things from the greenhouse to Zhongshan?" ”
Zhen Mi's eyes immediately rolled when she heard this, and then she stretched out two fingers and said, "Give Sister Diao Chan 20% of the profits, don't tell Yuan Hou that I'm stealing...... Well, I'm learning these immortal skills. ”
Diao Chan smiled, reached out and pressed Zhen Mi's two fingers back, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Yuan has already explained, if you want to learn these things, then let you take them all back, even how to build a greenhouse has been taught to you, why don't you believe it?" ”
Zhen Mi pursed her lips and said unhappily: "Where can I believe what he said, I said before that he was called 'shouting throat', and in the end, he was not lying to Miss Ben." ”
"It was forced by the situation, and Brother Yuan had to say a fake name......
Diao Chan was only halfway through speaking, but he was interrupted by Zhen Mi: "He also promised Sister Diao Chan before to get a good money-making career for the Wang family, how is it now?" ”
Diao Chan shook his head helplessly, and said, "You have eaten so much tofu and dried it, don't you know that this thing is a good business prepared by Brother Yuan for the palace?" ”
Zhen Mi was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Isn't he telling me how to make this dried tofu?" ”
Diao Chan smiled and said: "Brother Yuan said very clearly, this is for the palace, so I don't want to break my promise to tell others, if Sister Zhen likes it, then I will tell you that the method of making it is good, and it is not very difficult." ”
Zhen Mi's eyes rolled violently, and after a long time of temptation, she still shook her head and said, "That's what he gave to Sister Diao Chan, wouldn't it be a loss of love if I asked, so I didn't ask or listen." ”
Diao Chan continued to smile bitterly, and it could be seen that Zhen Mi liked Yuan Yun very much, but this mouth was too unforgiving, and she always wanted to be the housewife of Yuan Mansion in her heart, which was probably absolutely impossible, so she was entangled and entangled herself.
For such a strong Zhen Mi, Diao Chan didn't know what to do except for a wry smile.
"Is the war in Guandu tight? Will Yuan Hou have any accidents in the past at this time? Zhen Mi suddenly changed the topic, and when she asked, she seemed careless, but the knife with the melon in her hand stopped.
Diao Chan put aside the leftover melon skin in his hand, and then walked to Zhen Mi's side, then stared at her pretty face and said, "You care so much about Brother Yuan, why don't you come out to see him off when he leaves, so you can ask him face to face?" ”
Zhen Mi's face was slightly red, and she replied very unhappily: "Why should I send him, he has so many ladies, why didn't anyone come to Beihai to see him, it was Miss Ben instead, even if the head of the house is in the sky, I will chase after him, and I don't know how the hearts of his two wives grow?" ”
Diao Chan was bored, and suddenly he didn't know what to say, Zhen Mi is now a hammer, he has to hammer everything he sees, and he regards Yuan Yun's two wives as the biggest nails, and it takes constant beating to be satisfied.
This topic can't be talked about, Diao Chan can only go back to Guandu, and said: "Cao Sikong's war situation is unfavorable, and he already has plans to retire, but Xu Du has different news, it seems that more young people have been recruited, and this time even fifteen-year-old men have joined the army, it seems that Cao Sikong has filled in all the old bottoms." ”
Zhen Mi was taken aback and said, "Isn't it dangerous for Yuan Hou to go like this?" Then he still stupidly agreed to that Guo Jia, just ignore it, it's a big deal to go back to Zhongshan with Miss Ben, now Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang don't have time to take care of us, so naturally we can live an easy life. ”
Diao Chan said: "How can you hide for a lifetime?" Yuan Shao's two sons are now in no time to deal with the Zhen family, and when the battle situation comes out, they will inevitably provoke them again, what should they do at that time? ”
Zhen Mi was stunned for a while, and suddenly said thoughtlessly: "Yuan Hou went to Guandu this time to defeat Yuan Shao, so that his two sons would not come to provoke the Zhen family again?" ”
Diao Chan was stunned, and she didn't know how Zhen Mi, such a smart little girl, could think of such an impossible reason?
But since she thought so, it would be better, so Diao Chan affirmed while the iron was hot: "Brother Yuan is naturally interested in Sister Zhen, so that those two scourges can be removed once and for all, and the Zhen family can be kept for a long time." ”
Zhen Mi was quite moved, her face became a little more ruddy, and she murmured, "But why does he have two wives?" It's annoying! ”
Seeing that Zhen Mi was quiet, Diao Chan ignored it, but opened some more regulations.
Now Leling's Wang industry is moving to Beihai, this mansion is much larger than Leling's palace, but Yuan Yun said that it is not enough, it is necessary to open a warehouse at the dock, saying that water transportation will inevitably become the mainstream of the times in the future, and I don't know where he got his confidence.
However, since Yuan Yun said so, Diao Chan can only look far, which makes her a little cramped, after all, according to Yuan Yun's plan, the shipping will basically depend on the Wang family to take care of it in the future, which is a very large industry, and all kinds of ships alone will have to expand at least ten times.
Looking at the account records, Diao Chan only felt a headache, but now he began to regret it, Yuan Yun should have learned new bookkeeping skills with him when he was still there, in that case, he would not be so tired at this moment.
Zhen Mi was silent for a while, then jumped to the opposite side of Diao Chan's desk, and then pulled a chair over to sit down, now she is very dependent on this kind of chair, after all, it is much more comfortable than kneeling.
After sitting down, Zhen Mi said with a smile: "Yuan Hou said that he would make Zhen's grain production base in the future, and also said that his new city would do a lot of transactions with us in the future, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Diao Chan put down the charter in his hand again, and said with a smile: "This shouldn't be fake, when Yuan Shao is solved, Zhongshan will be divided into Cao Sikong's territory sooner or later, and it will be much easier for the two of you to start trading at that time, I heard Brother Yuan say that their new city does not farm land and does not produce grain, so it must be necessary for a large grain household to provide it, and it is estimated that Brother Yuan chose your Zhen family." ”
Zhen Mi pursed his lips and sneered: "It's not that he doesn't know the output of Zhen's grain, it's almost enough to meet Zhongshan now, and if he gets his new city in, he may not be able to afford it, and when the time comes, he will definitely have to find Sister Diao Chan to buy grain everywhere." ”
"Not necessarily, Brother Yuan will definitely help you Zhen find a good way, I have news before, there seem to be some experimental fields in the new city, and the yield per mu is amazing, if Brother Yuan gives this treasure to your Zhen family, your fertile fields will definitely increase the yield a lot." After Diao Chan finished speaking, he felt in his heart that Yuan Yun's plan seemed to be very huge, it was both a sea transportation and a grain production base, and he didn't know what he was talking about?
When Zhen Mi heard the news, she immediately smiled like a peach blossom, Yuan Yun was willing to cheapen them Zhen's, she felt that Yuan Yun was actually still in her heart, just now she heard Diao Chan say that the kind of baby dried tofu was given to the palace by Yuan Yun, she was a little jealous, but at this moment she forgot all about the jealousy just now.
After combing the broken hair around his ears, Zhen Micai smiled sweetly: "The final winner of the battle of Guandu must be Cao Sikong, and Yuan Shao's family is not a good person, so naturally they can't win." ”
Diao Chan listened inexplicably, what is the direct relationship between winning or losing the war and who is a good person? On the contrary, the bad guys have a greater hope of victory, but when these things are said, they will definitely be beaten by Zhen Mi's big hammer, so it is better to calm things down.
Zhen Mi saw that Diao Chan no longer answered or bothered, but grabbed a few freshly cut melons, and came to the window of this study alone, looking at the sky in the distance and laughing, I don't know where she went again?
