Chapter 65: The Rise of the Cai Clan

Yuan Yun doesn't like to drink tea with ginger slices and salt, this habit was almost no one cared about in the past, but now there are a lot of people who care, and they are carefully implementing it.

Seeing that Cai Gu carefully cleaned the tea set sent by his subordinates, and then brewed the boiling water to ripen the tea leaves, but directly poured out the water with tea, and then replaced it with new tea, ready to pour hot water again.

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he stopped Cai Gu from continuing to waste tea, because the other party seemed to be not familiar with the order of kung fu tea at all, and no one washed the tea and poured it out together, so this kind of performance was just taking care of Yuan Yun's preferences.

What is the purpose of this?

It's just that Yuan Yun definitely can't ask this sentence, the ancients cared about face very much, if they really dared to say this to Cai Wenji's cousin, it was estimated that the other party would crash to death on the pillar.

"You are the elder, this kind of tea-making thing, let the son-in-law do it well." The excuse Yuan Yun said was perfect, at least Cai Gu didn't object, and he was even very grateful in his heart, after all, this way of making tea was too weird.

Cai Wenji can't stay here at this time, she needs to go to the back house to visit all kinds of aunts, aunts and other relatives, there are only Yuan Yun and Cai Gu in this study, and those Cai children who are the same generation as Yuan Yun can only stand outside the door and listen, the rules of this family are not ordinary.

Yuan Yun finally made the tea, and then waved his hand to signal Cai Gu in front of him to taste it, he also brought a cup to his nose, sniffed it carefully left and right, and then showed a satisfied smile, then took a small sip and drank it into his mouth, followed by a fine taste.

Cai Gu had Yuan Yun in front of him, so he naturally had the same example, but when the tea was in, he couldn't help frowning, after all, this was very different from the tea he drank on weekdays, and it was bitter and unpalatable, but after a while, his brows stretched, and he finally knew why Yuan Yun enjoyed it so much.

It was also at this time that Yuan Yun was finally free to speak, so he immediately smiled and said: "When I came before, there were many young people to greet me, and it was comfortable and natural, why didn't I see them today, could it be that they were all busy?" ”

Cai Gu smiled, hiding some embarrassment, and then replied: "Now that Yuan Xian's nephew has returned from a hundred battles, he still has a big victory in breaking the city, and entertaining a young general like you must need an old man to come out, Cai's descendants are now withering greatly, and there has never been an outstanding person, and now there is a son-in-law like Yuan Xian's nephew, but you have to cherish it, where can you be lazy." ”

Snobbery!

Yuan Yun muttered in his heart, but there is nothing to despise, after all, the clans of this era are like this, and before you prove yourself, they are generally not very popular.

"Yuan Xian's nephew is a child of immortals, so he is always smarter than others, and now Cai's has accumulated some strength by relying on the cream cake, wondering if he can expand it a little more, a few days ago, the nephew of the family took a fancy to some industries, and he was also very well prepared, and today Yuan Xian's nephew came over and just discussed with him." After Cai Gu finished speaking, he laughed, and there was even a hint of extravagant hope in his eyes.

Yuan Yun was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "I don't know what kind of industry can attract your old attention?" ”

Cai Gu replied: "When Yuan Xian's nephew built the city wall of Xudu before, didn't he leave a large number of spare stones, and those stones are now stacked on the side of the east city wall, and it is a waste to put them there, so several nephews in the family plan to share the worries of the imperial court and buy them all."

Of course, we may not have enough money, so we plan to sell some cement from Luoyang, and then repair the city walls in other locations for the imperial court, so that they can cancel each other out, and all the stones can belong to the Cai family. ”

Yuan Yun instantly understood what the Cai family was going to do, they bought the stone was fake, and it was true that they wanted to occupy the land where the stone was hoarded, because that piece of land could not be sold at all because of the stacking of stones, once the Cai family got the stone, it was equivalent to occupying that piece of land, which was a lot of land.

Recall that before going to Luoyang, Yuan Yun also came to Cai's Mansion once, and at that time he almost didn't see Cai Gu, at most, he greeted him when he entered the door, and then he didn't see the second side until he left, and now Cai Gu would discuss such a big matter in the clan with him, and he was really a little flattered.

Now the entire Cai Mansion treats itself so ceremoniously, naturally because of Yecheng's big victory, and the bigger reason is that the cream cake has given the Cai family the momentum of rising, and as the money continues to increase, they are gradually expanding.

This is not a good sign, repairing the city wall for Cao Cao is definitely enough to kill the head, and occupying the open space next to the city wall is a big disaster of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.

You have to beat it well, otherwise Cai's may really overturn, Yuan Yun thought so, and immediately sighed in his heart, Cai's is indeed not an outstanding talent, because the truth in the middle is Cai Wenji, and he can understand that he can't do it, but Cai Gu, the current head of the Cai family, didn't realize it at all, and even thought it was a good opportunity to rise, which was sad.

Cai Gu saw that Yuan Yun's face suddenly became gloomy, and he immediately felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the subordinate took the wrong tea, and as a result, he sent inferior goods, and the old man will go to punish him." ”

Yuan Yun stretched out his hand to stop and said: "When I came, Ben Hou just wanted to persuade Uncle Tang, don't think about repairing the city wall for Xu Du, but now when I come here, I find that there are many people in the clan who seem to be eager to try to develop, and such a big plan has also come out, and it is not far from raiding the family and destroying the clan." ”

With a bang, the tea bowl in Cai Gu's hand shattered.

Suppressing his panic a little, Cai Gu asked a little nervously, "Why did Yuan Xian's nephew say that?" ”

Yuan Yun didn't answer immediately, but took another sip of the tea in the cup, and then asked calmly: "If someone suddenly comes to say that they want to repair the wall of the treasure house of the Cai family, do you always think such a proposal is acceptable?" ”

Cai Gu was stunned for a moment, and muttered back: "Such a person is either a traitor or a thief, otherwise why would he build a wall for the old man for no reason?" ”

Yuan Yun continued: "If this person finishes repairing the wall of the treasure house for you, but you find that he still occupies a piece of Cai's land, how will you react?" ”

Cai Gu finally figured it out at this time, his brows instantly turned into a ball, and he gasped for a long time before he gasped: "It's almost a catastrophe, the old man seems to be old after all, and what he thinks about is really lacking." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "You have always been gentle and cautious, and if you suddenly want to be so radical today, I'm afraid you can't stand the persecution of the younger generation of the Cai family, right?" ”

Cai Gu was a little embarrassed, but still nodded and said: "The younger generation of the Cai family is willing to work hard for the family, of course the old man likes to hear it, but he just wants to help them, but he lacks thought, and the old man is to blame." ”

Yuan Yun sighed again, a gentle and kind person is indeed not suitable to be the head of the family, just looking at Cai Gu, you can guess that he will be persecuted by his juniors, but at this time he is still blocking guns for those kids, which can be regarded as kind to a certain level.

"The Cai family now has eleven men, and there are only twenty-five or six people counting the side lineage, and now there is a great need for young people at the Luoyang construction site, especially those who can write, so it is better to let these Cai children go to Luoyang to exercise for a while, it is better than staying in Xudu to daydream all day."

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he began to taste the tea again, he didn't ask for it, but what he said was more like an order, and now with his status, there was no problem at all in speaking like this.

Although Cai Gu was a little embarrassed, he thought that Yuan Yun was willing to give his nephew a chance to exercise, which might be a great thing, so he immediately agreed.

But halfway through the words, he was a little hesitant, after all, letting those sons and nephews who are used to being pampered go to the Luoyang construction site will definitely make them resist desperately.

Yuan Yun looked at Cai Gu's embarrassed appearance, laughed, and then continued: "It's better to let Ben Hou see it now, but to see how bold the new generation of the Cai family is." ”

Cai Gu could obviously hear the anger in Yuan Yun's words, and at this moment, the other party had already called himself 'Ben Hou', so he naturally didn't dare to object, so he could only nod in agreement.

Fifteen people in a row, this is the personal guard that Yuan Yun often brings with him, they are all veterans who are used to seeing battle formations with him, and it is not one or two to kill people, this kind of person is compared with the young children of the Cai family who are full of courtyards, like wolves standing among sheep.

And Yuan Yun sat behind the wolves in all directions, and the two hunting dogs were waiting on the left and right, one of the hunting dogs was full of doubts, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Lord, what kind of song is this, why do you want to stand face to face with these gentlemen?" ”

Yuan Yun glanced at Shi Shen, and then replied impatiently: "It's just Liwei, it's not the first time, you don't know how to do it, right?" ”

Shi Shen was stunned for a moment, looked at the Cai disciples in front of him, and then at Yuan Yun, and immediately understood a little, Yuan Yun has always liked to beat his family all over the ground to find teeth, and today it seems that this addiction has been committed again, so there is nothing to be polite.

After greeting Shi Shen, Yuan Yun suddenly said aloud to a group of Cai disciples: "Three days later, all of you here will rush to Luoyang, and you don't need to prepare any tools, and they will naturally provide them there. ”

"Military law? Brother-in-law, are you joking? We're not the slaughterers in the military. One of the children replied with a smile.

Yuan Yun tilted his head and glanced at the man, it was a distant relative of Cai Wenji, it seemed that he had gone to Yuan's mansion to give a New Year's gift before, called Cai Bin, this person's personality is very jumpy on weekdays, but his character is not bad.

"Ten Sticks!" Yuan Yun finished thinking about it and said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, two guards immediately walked out, took Cai Bin down in an instant, and then dragged him in front of Yuan Yun, followed by a heavy muffled sound, and Cai Bin's wail.

At this time, the other Cai disciples began to be a little frightened, and they all whispered to each other, their eyes were full of fear, even if they were a little particularly shy, they didn't dare to complain about anything at the moment, first, Yuan Yun's identity was there, and second, the murderous aura of these fifteen guards was too heavy, and they felt that the ring-headed knife on their waists would jump out and cut off other people's necks at any time, and where would a few people dare to provoke such a scene.

Yuan Yun cleared his throat and said: "Ben Hou didn't ask questions, so he ran out and shouted without authorization, this was originally fifty military sticks in the army, and you just joined the army, so you will be lightly punished." ”

At this time, I saw a Cai disciple take a step forward cautiously, and then stood on one side, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Yuan Yun was very satisfied with his education method, at least the kid in front of him was learning very quickly, so he immediately pointed at this person: "What's the matter?" ”

The man immediately said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, it is true that you are a general, but we are all scholars, not soldiers, how can this military law hit us?" ”

Yuan Yun's face sank when he heard this, and then he shouted to everyone in the audience: "From just now, all of you will be counted into the city garrison of Luoyang, and if you don't want to, stand up for Benhou." ”

"I'm not convinced!"

Someone really dared to jump out, Yuan Yun took a closer look, it turned out to be Cai Gu's second son, Cai Wenji's cousin Cai Jian, who belonged to Cai's absolute main family, no wonder he had such a big courage, I heard that he was quite famous in Xu Du, and he also had some friendship with Xu Yi and Xiahou Nan.

"Twenty sticks!" Yuan Yun has nothing to talk about at this time.

Before Cai Jian could continue to speak, he had been pressed to the ground by two guards, and the more he resisted, the more miserable he found that he was cleaned up, and in the end he could only grit his teeth and be dragged aside, and then it was really a twenty military stick.

At last, the whole courtyard was quiet, and no one dared to speak out, only two beaten people were wailing and wailing.

Yuan Yun saw that it was almost over, so he shouted at a group of people: "Give you three days to prepare, whether you say goodbye to your family or say goodbye forever, when the sun rises in the morning three days later, if you don't come to the west gate of Xudu to gather, just wait for Benhou to go to your house to arrest people, and wait for Benhou to come to visit, but it won't be like dozens of military sticks today!" ”

After threatening the crowd, Yuan Yun was a little satisfied in his heart after seeing their frightened eyes, if he didn't greet these people, if anyone caused trouble, it would definitely be a big disaster.

Now there are too many people staring at him Yuan Yun, there must be a few people who want to start from Cai's side, there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking precautions earlier, and these people should really go to labor reform, otherwise Cai's family may really die.

As soon as this day passed, Cai's family was simply jumping like chickens and dogs, and every household was crying behind closed doors, thinking that Cai's having such a son-in-law as Yuan Yun was simply a big disaster.
