Yuan Shang pointed at Yuan Xi and said, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, it's the second brother." ”

Although I had long guessed that this guy had a bad heart, I didn't expect it to be so bad. Yuan Xizhi hated it so much that his teeth itched. In such a position that is being targeted by everyone, you let me poke the hornet's nest?

Yuan Shao also shook his hand and said: "Your second brother can't do it, his qualifications are shallower than Captain Zhang He, so he is not suitable for ......."

Unexpectedly, Tian Feng said: "Lord Qi, I think the second son is a suitable candidate." ”

Oops! Even Tian Feng, who has always been fair, came to intervene.

Yuan Shao asked, "What do you say?" ”

Tian Feng said: "The second son is the second son of the lord, and he represents the authority of the lord. Moreover, the second son has no quarrel with the world, and his relationship with the army is clear and clear, and he has nothing to do with it. With this identity, you can save a lot of trouble. In addition, he also has a good relationship with General Kojiyi, and the attitude of going to the camp first can determine the attitude of the other departments. The most important point is that the second son is the son-in-law of the Zhen family, and the Zhen family is a big producer of grain this time. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, he could settle the Yi and Zhen families, and he was really a good candidate.

He cast an approving glance at Yuan Shang, feeling that his youngest son's mind was really quick, saving him a lot of trouble. Then he looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Xianyi, what Mr. Tian said is very reasonable......

"I'm against it!" Yuan Xi raised his hand.

Yuan Shao's smile froze on his face, and he said with a straight face: "What are you against!" The organization has already researched and decided, and it is you. ”

Yuan Xi's hand hung down weakly.

Yuan Shang said with a smile on his face: "Second brother, this is a good thing." ”

"Get out, it's a good thing, why don't you go?"

"I haven't been a soldier under General Kojiyi, and I haven't married a beauty like my sister-in-law, third brother, your conditions are so good, don't waste it. Ha ha. ”

Yuan Xi rolled up his sleeves, Yuan Shang hurriedly took a step back, and shouted in a low voice: "The gentleman doesn't move......"

Yuan Xi stopped his steps, secretly raised his fist and said, "You wait for me......"

The next thing is to discuss some trivial matters, most of which are trivial things, and the ancients are really verbose when they speak, and they can clearly settle things in a few words, so they have to quote scriptures and talk about them. A few years ago, the anecdotes of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling had to be taken out again, and the beautiful name was borrowed from the past to learn from the present, and everyone still listened to it with relish.

In addition, they often have to repeatedly discuss human feelings, and strive to make everyone can be evenly wet. This made Yuan Xi also a little sympathetic to Yuan Shao. Speaking of which, Yuan Shao is considered to be the hero, dominating Jizhou and Qingzhou. But in fact, it is involved in all kinds of relationships, and a staff team alone has the shadow of various clan tyrants, not to mention their armies. It can be said that Yuan Shao is the leader who is carried above his head by various forces, and his foundation is very unstable. Often when deciding a matter, you have to take into account the interests of others involuntarily, and the rest is your own.

In the second half of the night, Yuan Xi was drowsy, while the others were still in high spirits, constantly talking, and making dirty deals in private. In fact, the big head is to discuss what interests to divide after laying down Gongsun Zhan's territory. By the time we had made a rough deal, the rooster had already crowed outside.

Yuan Xi dragged his feet back to his house, only to find that Zhen Ji had finished freshening up and was ready to go out.

"You're going to Mother?"

"Hmm."

"Do you want to sleep together for a while?"

Zhen Ji's face turned red and she quickly fled.

Oh no, the favorability has become 55 again. The ambiguous atmosphere of yesterday has long since disappeared, and now it has to start again. It's a pity that Cao Zijian's Luo Shen Fu was wasted, and he would only say a few words upside down. The ancient texts that can be memorized are only left with the space of the Drunkard Pavilion and Cao Di's polemics.

Why don't you have some Tang poems? But what will make Dragon City fly in? Lonely sail in the distance? Wrong. A sprig of red apricots came out of the wall, oops, how did I come up with such a sentence. Goose goose song to the sky...... Alas, when the poem is used, I hate it less, why didn't I memorize it before. What about Song Ci, the old man chatted about the madness of his youth, Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, Da Jiangdong went, Xiao Qiao got married for the first time, think about it, is there nothing to describe love?

In his previous life, he obviously didn't work picking up girls, and his life after marriage was relatively dull, so his talent in this area was not significant. At this time, I wanted to desperately improve my favorability, but I couldn't get in.

He was just about to lie on the bed for a while, but someone outside shouted: "Second brother, are you there?" ”

Yuan Xi suddenly came to his senses, good boy, I won't come to trouble you, you will send you to the door to find death.

"In! Get in! ”

I saw the door push open, Yuan Shang stepped in with his head probed, and then followed by a middle-aged man in a black brocade suit.

With outsiders present, Yuan Xi didn't dare to attack casually.

Yuan Shang introduced: "This Mr. Cui is the housekeeper of the Boling Cui family, and he specially entrusted me to come and get to know the second brother." ”

Mr. Cui bowed and said: "I have heard that the second son is a talent, and his talent is outstanding. ”

Yuan Xi arched his hand and motioned for the guest and host to sit down, but he was muttering in his heart: This talent is still reasonable, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is talented, and I am not without self-knowledge. But since people were full of good words, Yuan Xi had no choice but to greet him with a smile.

Yuan Shang said with a smile: "Today, Mr. Cui made a special trip to see the second brother, and he also prepared a generous gift." I wonder if my little brother can open his eyes? ”

Cui Guang was wearing a silk shirt, a cyan hat on his head, and a huge jade pendant pinned to his waist.

I saw him take out a box, open it and look at it, and suddenly everyone's eyes were full of brilliance.

A long strip of jade lies quietly in a square box, somewhat cylindrical in shape, with a smooth but irregular surface. Judging from the appearance, it is a strange jade ornament.

"Second son, this jade is the ...... of the He's Bi back then"

Yuan Xi's heart jumped: "Wow! And the Clan's Bi? "The Heshi Bi has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is a symbol of imperial power, and almost every Chinese knows that it looks like this."

Cui Guang hurriedly said: "No, it's a treasure jade produced in the same mountain as He's Bi." When Nahe Shibi became famous, some people thought that this jade vein might be connected, so they continued to dig underground, and sure enough, they dug up a huge piece of jade, and after polishing it by a good craftsman, there was this jade. ”

Yuan Xi took it and rubbed it in his hand, and said, "That's also priceless." Sure enough, it is warm and smooth, crystal clear, but this shape is really strange, how can there be a protruding piece on it? ”

Cui Guang suddenly fell silent.

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Second brother, you are really good at pretending to be stupid, this thing is specially used for the pleasure of the boudoir, ha......"

Yuan Xi suddenly realized that it was a sex toy. I didn't think of this kind of thing when the Three Kingdoms had it.

Cui Guang also touched the long beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "Those who understand naturally know the subtleties, and those who don't understand don't understand what they say." It seems that the second son is also a person who knows the goods. Hey. ”

Yuan Shangdao: "Mr. Cui, you don't know, my second brother just got married, maybe he needs this thing." Alas, I'm also a little itchy to say, Mr. Cui, if you still have this kind of goods over there, you have to send me one too. ”

Yuan Xi felt sick in his heart, threw the thing back into the box, and said, "I don't need this thing, you want you to take it yourself." I thought to myself, "You are a big man, and you are not married, how can you need this thing?" ”

Yuan Shang ha: "How dare I take away the beauty of people, besides, Mr. Cui still has something to ask the second brother to help." ”

Yuan Xi said: "I don't know what Mr. Cui wants me to do when he gives such a 'heavy' gift?" If I can, I will not shirk it. ”

When Cui Guang heard him say this, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he said, "It's just to connect with feelings." I heard that the second son is going to be in charge of military rations, and this business can't be missed by our Cui family. ”

Yuan Xi was confused and asked, "Do business?" ”

Yuan Shangdao: "Second brother, you are really a nerd, you don't know anything." Let me put it this way, we have too much military food in Hebei to eat, and it has been piled up in the warehouse for a long time, and it is easy to mold after a long time, so of course we have to find a way to dispose of it. Several families in Hebei have the ability to collect grain, and the income from selling grain can also supplement military funds, how good. Boling Cui's family, Zhending Fan's family, and your father-in-law's family in Zhongshan are all our partners. ”

Yuan Xi suddenly understood, saying that it was a subsidy for military funds, but in fact it still went into everyone's pockets. Military rations were collected and used for war, and almost no money was spent, and if they were sold, they were far below the market price, and the profits from this were difficult to estimate. The Cui family wants to buy this batch of grain, and it is estimated that there are also channels to sell it. Coming and going, I am afraid that there is a lot of oil and water in the links involved in the middle, otherwise Cui Guang in front of him would not have given such a heavy gift. Including his brother Yuan Shang, as an introducer, the favors in it are inexhaustible.

Cui Guang looked at Yuan Xi with a smile, looked like he was convinced, and said: "Second son, rest assured, after the matter is completed, we will have a big gift, and we will never dare to treat the second son badly." However, please also ask the second son to agree to allocate a little more share, and the second son and the Cui family will be good friends in the future. ”
