Chapter Seventy-Eight: Old Habits

Xun Yun is definitely a talent, Yuan Yun is very sure of this, and not only Xun Yun, then almost all the sons and nephews of the Xun family are good, which has a lot to do with Xun Yu being the head of the family, the so-called will be the courage of the soldiers, then the head of the family is the soul of a family, and a person like Xun Yu as the head of the family is naturally absolutely excellent.

The Xun family originally sent to Luoyang was only the eldest son and the second son, but with the continuous growth of Luoyang, the Xun family's power here is getting bigger and bigger, so more Xun sons and nephews were sent over, and those who can come to Luoyang are all handsomely selected, no wonder Liu Yiyi feels that the Xun family has more talents.

Xun Yun led Yuan Yun to the lobby, and Liu Yiyi was accompanied by his wife to the back house, and as an escort, Xun Yun's younger brother Xun Yu was also present, and Yuan Yun was not very familiar with some other young and handsome people.

"You don't have to be formal, you're all young people, so you don't have to keep a straight face like those old pedants." Yuan Yun finally spoke, because he found that each of these Xun disciples sitting in the hall seemed to be facing a great enemy, and some of them even had sweat on their heads, and they didn't even have the courage to look up at him Yuan Yun.

Xun Yun saw that Yuan Yun's words to ease the atmosphere didn't have any effect, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Yuan Hou's prestige is too great, you see that what scared my clan brothers made Yuan Hou laugh." ”

As soon as Xun Yun's voice fell, those who were originally very timid seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and they all puffed up their chests, as if they would embarrass the Xun family if they didn't keep this way.

Yuan Yun looked at such a group of young people and secretly praised in his heart, and it was also because of this disbelief that the Xun clan could be so powerful, because the arrogance of the Xun clan could be seen only from these people.

Xun Yun saw that the scene was finally not so embarrassing, so he raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Yuan Hou Xiliang on his triumphant return, not only to kill Ma Chao, but also to completely subdue the Qiang and Hu people." ”

Yuan Yun said a few words modestly, and then said: "Since Xiliang is already in our hands now, even if the business road in the Western Regions is opened, I don't know what the Xun clan has planned?" ”

Xun Yun was not polite, and replied directly: "The Xun family intends to participate in it, and I have heard Mrs. Yiyi of the Yuan Mansion say before that this time the Yuan family is going to completely open up the trade routes of the Western Regions, so we will not fall behind." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned when he heard this, and said suspiciously: "I agreed without even listening to the conditions, Brother Changqian is bold enough." ”

Xun Yun smiled and said, "Yuan Hou has never owed the Xun family, and this time it will definitely not be bad for us, I just believe in Yuan Hou." ”

Yuan Yun was very satisfied with Xun Yun's knowledge, and just wanted to say a few polite words, but heard Xun Yun's younger brother Xun Yu smile and said: "The Xun family will naturally do their best to deal with the Western Regions Business Road, and these Xun family disciples here today are the people who plan to join the Western Regions Business Road, I can guarantee here, they will definitely not let Yuan Hou down." ”

After introducing these Xun children in the hall, Xun Yu changed his words and said, "Since Yuan Hou is here today, we have another matter that we want to seek Yuan Hou's permission. ”

Yuan Yun asked with some curiosity when he heard this: "I don't know what it is, it would make Brother Shuqian so tight?" ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly, and said: "Before, Yuan Hou brought back a medicine man named Anu from Yecheng, and now this person really lives up to expectations, in addition to cultivating the medicinal materials called ginseng, he has also cultivated countless other medicinal materials, if this is expanded, it will immediately become a pillar industry in Luoyang, so after our brothers negotiated, they planned to ask Yuan Hou to come to the farm to serve." ”

Yuan Yun was a little stunned when he heard this, and he became a little apologetic in an instant, after abducting Anu to Luoyang before, he seemed to have forgotten the existence of this person, but he didn't expect this person to be so good that he could grow a large number of medicinal herbs in Luoyang.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, his eldest brother Xun Yun immediately reminded: "Second brother said badly, you forgot Mr. Tihuatuo, if he didn't come over, where would our brothers recognize those medicinal materials?" ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he already understood what their Xun brothers were going to do, naturally they hoped to be able to mass-produce medicinal materials, and now the most lacking thing in this society is not only food, but also medicinal materials, so if this industry is really developed, it will inevitably benefit many people.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Anu is naturally not a problem to send to the farm in the suburbs to you, as for Mr. Hua Tuo's side, I have to ask before I can answer you." ”

Xun Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Yuan Yun agree, his personality was also a little more jumpy than that of his eldest brother Xun Yun, so he greedily continued to ask: "Can you let Brother He Yan also come to the farm to help?" ”

Yuan Yun laughed, then pointed at Xun Yu and said, "You are greedy enough, you let the two most famous people in Luoyang go to the farm at once, and now the budget on your farm side will probably increase greatly, right?" ”

Xun Mata seemed to be a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said: "The chemistry that He Yan is studying now is really a profound knowledge, not only can he make a sharp tool for farmland such as chemical fertilizer, but also countless other good things about people's livelihood, and Mr. Hua Tuo also said that in medicine, if he leaves He Yan's brothers, I am afraid that he will not be very bright." ”

Yuan Yun touched his chin, nodded and said, "I will also inquire about He Yan's side, but as for whether they are willing or not, I dare not guarantee it." ”

Xun Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "As long as Yuan Hou agrees, the rest will naturally be said by our brother, and these will definitely not let Yuan Hou worry about it." ”

A meal was eaten until more than half of the afternoon, and Yuan Yun, accompanied by Xun Yun, began to walk in the courtyard to eat, and now he spoke a lot more freely, so the two of them talked about more, from poetry to the current situation in the world, there was almost nothing to talk about, Yuan Yun was extremely grateful in his heart for the chip in his head, otherwise he would definitely be laughed off by the other party on the poem.

This Xun mansion in Luoyang was built by Xun Yun himself, and Yuan Yun walked around only to find that the building materials here are still mostly wood, but bricks, stones, cement and other materials are not very passive.

Xun Yun saw Yuan Yun staring at the buildings in the courtyard, and immediately explained: "My father occasionally comes to Luoyang to live, he has always been more conservative, and he is not used to the construction of masonry and cement, so we chose wood as the main building material, but it is also due to the appearance of masonry and cement, which makes the price of wood lower a lot." ”

As he spoke, Xun Yun pointed to the boiler room outside the courtyard wall and said with a smile: "Although my father is more conservative, he will not refuse good things, such as this boiler room that can provide hot water all year round. ”

Yuan Yun smiled and continued: "The toilet and sauna are probably not less, right?" ”

Xun Yun nodded and said with a smile: "In addition to these, the cooks here are also hired from the Yuan Mansion at a high price, and now the most famous people in the Yuan Mansion are probably not Yuan Hou himself, but those cooks in your family. ”

Naturally, I never get tired of hearing good words, but Yuan Yun couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing Xun Yu's old-fashioned habits, I'm afraid this is the reason why Xun Yu finally broke with Cao Cao, and finally led to the Xun family being exterminated and getting a tragic end.

Xun Yun saw that Yuan Yun didn't speak for a long time, and in an instant, he saw his slightly furrowed brows, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Did Yuan Hou think of something bad?" Do you think my mansion is too extravagant? ”

Yuan Yun hurriedly shook his hand and said: "How can it be extravagant, the facilities you have built here are less than half of my mansion, if it is the turn of luxury, I am afraid that there is no more powerful one in Luoyang than my family." ”

After a slight pause, Yuan Yun directly jumped away from the topic and asked, "Is there one thing I don't know if to ask?" ”

Xun Yun knew that Yuan Yun was finally going to get to the point, so he said calmly: "It's not been a day and a half since I came to Luoyang, and Yuan Hou naturally knows who I am, so if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said, "I don't know what the Xun clan thinks about Prime Minister Cao Cheng's title to the king?" ”

When Xun Yun heard Yuan Yun's question, he was immediately shocked, even if he was extremely well-cultivated on weekdays, this surprised expression was still on his face at this moment, and he organized his words a little, before he shook his head and sighed: "I have heard that Yuan Hou has the ability to predict the future, and I really saw it today." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Xun Yun said: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng was crowned king not long ago, my father did have some slight words, but I didn't expect that he still didn't have his head to avoid Yuan Hou, since Yuan Hou knew, then Prime Minister Cao Cheng would definitely understand, it seems that our Xun family will be affected somewhat." ”

Yuan Yun shook his head after hearing this, and said: "I am just guessing about this matter, so it will never reach the ears of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Brother Ziqian can rest assured, I don't plan to say it." ”

Xun Yun hurriedly saluted to the ground, and then continued: "Yuan Hou Daen, Xun Yun wrote it down, just said that my father's old habits, which naturally include whether to be loyal to the Cao family, or loyal to the Han family, since the words have also been said, I have indeed been worried about this matter recently, my father must be biased towards the Han family, which will definitely have a lot of conflicts with the Cao family, just seeing that Prime Minister Cao Cheng left my father alone in Xudu and did not take him to Yecheng, you can know that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has some suspicions." ”

After saying so much, Xun Yun suddenly stopped talking, and then bowed deeply to Yuan Yun again, and said, "Can Yuan Hou save our Xun family." ”

Yuan Yun saw Xun Yun like this, and immediately understood the two arrows in his heart, the first thing is that Xun Yu has become more and more dissatisfied with Cao Cao's actions, but he hasn't said it to his face, and the second thing is to listen to Xun Yun's tone, he seems to be more inclined to the latter for loyalty to the Han family and loyalty to the Cao family, otherwise he would definitely not say anything directly to rescue the Xun family.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun said: "Brother Ziqian, can you ask your father not to put what he thinks on the table, so that he will not conflict too much with Cao Cheng, this is also the only way I can think of at present." ”

Xun Yun's face was suddenly full of embarrassment, and he replied after a long time: "I'm afraid this matter can't be stopped, my father plans to play it in the near future, and the content is to impeach Prime Minister Cao Cheng for the king." ”

Yuan Yun chuckled in his heart, he never expected Xun Yu to be so eager and unwise, now that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has been crowned king, isn't impeachment now equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the gun?

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Yuan Yun resolutely said: "Brother Ziqian, it's better to take your father Xun Yu to live in Luoyang, this matter is best before your father plays." ”

Xun Yun nodded and said, "If my father can solve this matter after he comes to Luoyang to live, I will be unfilial to tie up my father, and the position of the head of the family will be handed over to my second brother." ”
