Yuan Shao asked what Cao Shuo had sent, and Mrs. Liu instructed the maid: "Take the things sent by Zirong and show them to Duke Yuan." ”

The personal maid answered.

After a while, she picked up a small package from Cao Shuo.

"That's it?" The package hasn't been opened yet, Yuan Shao asked.

"That's enough to send hundreds of cars of silk and silk." Mrs. Liu said, "Yuan Gong still opens it and takes a look." ”

Yuan Shao looked at Mrs. Liu suspiciously, and said to the maid, "Open it." ”

The maid opened the package.

Seeing the jewels and jade treasures inside, Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment.

He asked Mrs. Liu, "Did you ask where he got all these things?" ”

"Asked." Mrs. Liu said: "The people who gave the gifts don't know where Zirong got it from. ”

"Put it away." Yuan Shao instructed the maid.

The maid took the things.

He said to Mrs. Liu again: "No wonder you like Zirong, you are so generous in gift-giving." ”

"That's the kind of person who makes great things." Mrs. Liu said: "Fang'er can marry a child like Zirong, and I will be relieved in the future." ”

"The more he can achieve great things, the less reassuring I am." Yuan Shao said: "Zirong is a good boy, but he is not honest. ”

"Husband mean Cao Cao?" Mrs. Liu asked, "Why did he offend you again?" ”

"Cao Cao asked Sun Guan to gather the Qingzhou army in Mount Tai." Yuan Shao said: "He thought he was doing something unknowingly, but he didn't know that I had already made people stare at him." ”

"Isn't Qingzhou sitting in the town?" Mrs. Liu said: "Why don't you send Xianyi too." ”

"I don't know if you're thinking about it?" Pinched Mrs. Liu's face, Yuan Shao smiled and said: "Xiansi and Xianyi are outside, so Xianfu will stay by my side, and when I am old, Hebei will be Xianfu." ”

"What's wrong with Xianfu?" Mrs. Liu said: "Among the husband's sons, which one knows how to behave better than Xianfu? Who is smarter than him? ”

"However, Xiansi is the eldest son after all." Yuan Shao said: "Xianfu Xingsan, hand over Hebei to him......"

"The sage inherits what has been done in ancient times." Mrs. Liu said: "If the Yuan family wants to prosper for a long time, it must give Hebei to the most virtuous son." ”

"How can a mother not say that her son is good." Yuan Shao said: "Let's not mention this matter first, Fang'er married to Xudu, what if you miss her?" ”

"Then let Zirong allow her to come back." Mrs. Liu said: "Zirong is a well-behaved and obedient child, and he will definitely not hold on to Fang'er." ”

While the couple was talking, a maid walked in outside: "Qiqi Yuan Gong, just now the guard reported that he was frustrated and asked to see." ”

"What did he do when he came to see me not long after the court meeting?" Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and asked the maid.

"The guard said that Fu Zhi brought a lot of things, saying that Cao Gongzi bribed him." The maid replied.

"I'm stirring up trouble again." Yuan Shao said to Mrs. Liu: "Zirong gave him a gift, just because of his marriage with Fang'er, and he had the heart to befriend everyone in Hebei. In my opinion, in the entire Yecheng, there are probably not many people who have not received Zirong's gifts. ”

"I heard that Fu Zhu and Tian Feng and others persuaded their husbands to crusade against the Cao family earlier." Mrs. Liu said: "They are hostile to Zirong, and the husband can't listen to them. ”

"Don't worry!" Yuan Shao said: "Is it difficult for me to do things without even knowing the severity? ”

"Of course I'm relieved that my husband is doing things." Mrs. Liu said: "Why don't I let people go out and ask to see who Zirong has given gifts?" ”

"You ask someone first, and I'll wait here. Now I go to see the frustrated professor, he is impassioned and says some nonsense, and I have nothing to say back to him. Yuan Shao instructed the maid: "Tell the guard, let him go back and tell him that I will have some important matters to deal with, and see him in an hour." ”

The maid retreated.

Mrs. Liu instructed her personal maid: "You should quickly send someone out to inquire and ask how many people have received Zirong's gifts." ”

The maid left the room and arranged for someone to go outside.

"I can't understand what these people are thinking all day." Yuan Shao said: "Gongsun Chan is still in Yijing, and he has not been broken so far. Xiansi and Xianyi were all sent to Yijing, and they didn't want to think about how to defeat Gongsun Zhan, but they wanted to start a war with the Cao family. Once the war starts, Gongsun Chan will turn over, and our Yuan family will be attacked from the north and south. ”

"It's still the husband who can see through." Mrs. Liu said: "These people are blind, they should be punished fiercely!" ”

"That's it, that's it!" Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "They are also for the Yuan family, there is no need to worry about them." ”

"Husband is generous." Mrs. Liu said: "If you don't know what to do or bad like Fu Zhu, you have to teach him a lesson one day, so that he knows that there are some things that can't be left to them." ”

"If Hebei is handed over to you, I'm afraid that these staff members and generals under me will not have a good time." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"Who said that?" Mrs. Liu said: "I think that Zheng Nan and Feng Yuantu and others are not bad, and they can help Yuan Gong succeed." ”

"Zhengnan is upright, and he doesn't know how many people he has offended in Yecheng." Yuan Shao said: "As for Yuantu, it has really helped me a lot. ”

Talking about Hebei affairs with Yuan Shao, Mrs. Liu came to the momentum.

She kept talking about the generals who led troops outside from the people around Yuan Shao.

When she said about it, Yuan Shao asked with a smile, "How do you know about these people?" ”

"It's not all Xianfu who often talks to me." Mrs. Liu said: "Husband, don't look at Xianfu's child silently, he has a transparent view of Hebei's major events. ”

"It's time to let Xianfu take care of some things." Yuan Shao said: "It is said that Cao Mengde handed over many things to Zirong, and now Zirong is in Xudu, and he is so busy every day that he doesn't even have time to sleep......"

"That's not going to work!" Mrs. Liu said: "When Fang'er gets married, the husband will have to write a letter to Cao Mengde, so that he won't be so tired." If Zirong doesn't even have time to sleep, when will we be able to hug our grandson? ”

Yuan Shao smiled slightly and did not speak.

"Did the husband agree to write a letter to Cao Mengde?" Seeing that he was silent, Mrs. Liu grabbed his arm and said, "You don't feel sorry for your son-in-law, I'm very distressed!" ”

"I know you feel sorry for your son-in-law." Yuan Shao said: "However, Cao Mengde wants to use Zirong, and it is useless for me to be a father-in-law, after all, Zirong is the son of the Cao family, he doesn't listen to his father, can he still listen to me?" ”

The couple talked in the room for most of the hour, and Mrs. Liu's personal maid finally walked back.

"Qi Yuan Gong, the person who went out to inquire has returned." The personal maid said: "The officials of Yecheng, including those who are not in the city, have all given gifts. ”
