In Yuan Shao's mind, Yuan Xi is not among the candidates for successor, so he is up to him, whether he is romantic or robbed of a red face and trouble. But there is one thing, there must be harmony between brothers. Maybe it was because he saw that Yuan Xi was forced into a corner by the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, this time he was Lao Tzu's personal action, and then encouraged him again. The main contradiction is not on Yuan Xi's side, but on the eldest son and younger son's side, maybe this second son can play a balancing role? Yuan Shao's thoughts are really unknown.

But one thing Yuan Xi knew, if he didn't do something, he would have no chance to change the outcome of the Battle of Guandu. There are two ways in front of you, either take your beloved wife and leave her subordinates to find a place to hide, or face the difficulties, take advantage of the big war, accumulate your strength, and then see what you can do. The latter road is destined to be a narrow road, but no matter how narrow the road is, it is better than the road that can survive by luck.

When the weather warmed up a little, the charcoal stove was removed, and the doors and windows were opened to let the sun in.

Zhen Ji hummed the cheerful tune taught by her husband and packed her clothes in front of the bed, she didn't know how long Yuan Xi was going to Youzhou, but as a wife, she still had to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife.

Yuan Xi gently stroked her shoulder with one hand, Zhen Ji's shoulder trembled slightly, stopped humming, and asked, "Let's help think about what else is missing?" You're going that far, so you've got to pack everything you have...... Go out for a run and sweat, wipe ......."

"I didn't sweat this time...... But we can do something that helps us sweat......"

"Don't come to this nonsense...... Zi said......"

"Don't say it...... Come on......"

Yuan Xi sat on the bed with his arms around her waist, gently brushed the hair on her forehead with his hand, and sighed: "How can this kid Yuan Xi marry such a beautiful wife?" ”

Yuan Xi is really lamenting the original "Yuan Xi", Zhen Ji is a woman written in the history books after all, and Yuan Xi only mentioned a few strokes, from the perspective of modern people, the status of the two in history is really worlds apart. But Zhen Ji thought he was patting on the back, and said with a smile: "How can you be a concubine, how can you marry such a husband." ”

Yuan Xi was silent for a moment and asked, "Have you learned all the pinyin alphabets that you were taught?" ”

"Learned...... But what's the use of this? ”

"Learn first, whether it's useful or not is another matter. What about the four operations of mathematics? ”

"I've only learned addition, but I'm about to know how to subtract."

"To speed up. Remember the world map, right? ”

"I remember a part...... But the concubine doesn't understand very well......"

"Don't understand, I'll explain it to you later. Also, remember to drink water after boiling, wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet, do not touch dirty things if there is a bloody wound, drink plenty of water after you have a fever, and do not eat food overnight......"

"Got it, because there were 'bacteria', right? Is there really such a thing? ”

"Hmm...... You learn things very quickly, and when I'm not around, read harder, and we'll have a common topic. And, as the saying goes, knowledge is power. There is always a time when this knowledge can be useful. ”

Zhen Ji threw herself into his arms and choked up, "Husband, it's good if you don't leave......"

"Actually, it's okay to ...... if you don't leave"

Zhen Ji looked up.

"As long as you cut off my leg, you can't go."

"It's not funny at all."

Zhen Ji pushed him away, sat up straight, and then wiped the corners of her eyes.

Yuan Xi said casually: "Fortunately, with Diao Chan as your companion, you will not be lonely." I also entrusted Yuan Fuduo to take care of you. As for the two sisters-in-law of the big house, no, now it is four sisters-in-law, and you don't get involved in the family affairs between them. ”

Zhen Ji said: "Will you be like your eldest brother, and marry two concubines in Youzhou?" ”

Yuan Xi quickly said: "Absolutely not, you are too unconfident in yourself." Anyway, you are a great beauty, are you still afraid that your husband will change his mind? ”

Zhen Ji's eyebrows showed a slight smile, and Yuan Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he answered in time. I checked the favorability, and sure enough, it rose by 1 again, and the closer this got to 100, the slower it rose.

"It's not that you don't have confidence in yourself, it's that you don't have confidence." Zhen Ji turned her head and continued to pack her clothes.

Yuan Xi said: "You also underestimate your husband too much." The beautiful woman of Diao Chan is right under my nose, and I haven't touched her until now. Concentration is good enough. ”

"That's with me by your side......" Zhen Ji finally smiled, and then sighed and said: "Forget it, if you really can't help it, even if you really find a woman from the Northland, don't hide it, bring it back, I will treat her as a sister." ”

Yuan Xi finally felt a little moved, touched her loose hair and said: "Don't worry, I'm used to eating abalone fin belly, and ordinary meals can't be eaten." ”

Such a stupid and sweet woman entered the Cao family's harem in history, and it is estimated that she will not mix too well. He suddenly remembered a character called "Queen Guo", according to Ye Shili, this is a ruthless character. Compared with her, Zhen Ji is like a sheep meeting a wolf, and there are no bones left. It seems that this stupid girl can only follow herself in this life, and it is much better than being Cao Wei's queen.

At this time, footsteps sounded, and another big beautiful woman Diao Chan was about to come in with a ball of things, and when she saw the two of them sitting on the bed with each other snuggling up, she was taken aback and hurriedly said, "I'll come back later." ”

Zhen Ji's face turned red, a little embarrassed.

Yuan Xi beckoned to Diao Chan, only to see this elegant beauty step into the door gently.

"I think of one thing, my righteous sister should be the right person."

"What's the matter?"

"There are still a large number of bachelors in our people's army, and we need to organize some blind dates, this matchmaking thing naturally requires a woman to come forward, Lu Fanggao encouraged them to be men after all, some things are not very convenient, it is very suitable for you to do it."

Diao Chan raised his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Why do you want to match? Youzhou and Xuzhou, as well as Qingzhou, there are many refugees from the north, south and east directions who bring their families to Jizhou. As long as they are given a gift money, I believe they are willing to hand over their daughters. ”

In this year, the common people's families are the most patriarchal, especially when they encounter changes. Because Xuzhou was occupied by Cao Cao, many people either went north or south, hiding from the official army along the way, and they had to hand over half their lives just by being robbed by bandits. If you can really reach Jizhou, you will be a refugee with red stripes. The daughter of such a family is the least bargaining power.

"And this kind of operation?" Yuan Xi said: "But it always feels like human trafficking? ”

Diao Chan didn't care a little, and said: "You want human trafficking, some are human traffickers, some sell boys, and some girls." ”

She was born as a singer, and she was sold when she was very young, and it was human traffickers who brought her to Luoyang, and then she entered Situ Mansion. As for his biological parents, they don't know what they look like anymore. Therefore, when she says this, she appears to be inadvertent.

Yuan Xi said: "Or you can buy some girls who can't survive, but if their parents are willing to come along, we young men in the people's army don't mind supporting one or two more old people." They are all poor people, and if they are properly settled, they can increase their productive forces. These girls will be left to you to lead, and when the time comes, you can organize a blind date event for both men and women to choose each other. ”

Diao Chan frowned again and said, "Since it's your righteous brother, you have the final say, shouldn't you reward it directly?" Do I still need a blind date? ”

In her concept, isn't a woman just a commodity? Many princess families sometimes give gifts to ladies, isn't a singer like her transferred from Wang Yun to Dong Zhuo?

Yuan Xi said: "It's still needed." ”

After the fall of Song Lu, all his properties in Yecheng belonged to Yuan Xi, and the house with spring, summer, autumn and winter also belonged to him. This place has become a temporary stronghold of the people's army, and Gao Mian and Diao Chan and others will use it to do things, and some things are much more convenient.

Time paused for a moment on this day, and then slowly moved forward, Yuan Xi and his troops gathered up, and then embarked on a new journey.
