Chapter 388: Righteous Girl! (below)
"This shaft! Don't! "In the Linzi City Post House of Qingzhou Governance, the furious Zhen family's head Zhen Jian was staring at his old eyes that were as turbid as an abyss, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.
This head of the Zhen family, who has paid great attention to self-cultivation and rarely gets angry since he passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, has already gone out twice in just one day.
The so-called old man becomes fine, as the helmsman of a wealthy merchant family that can be counted in the Han Dynasty, he has promoted several powerful men in the world to dominate the prefecture and county, and he has looked down on how many things have risen in the court, and the deep meaning hidden behind Qin Xu's little cleverness is really not enough in the eyes of the old and sophisticated Zhen Jian.
This is not to say that the poisoner Jia Xu's wisdom is not as good as Zhen Jian's, but the focus of the two is fundamentally different, and there are some "yin damage" methods that cannot be put on the table in private, Jia Xu disdains to use them and naturally does not think about it, so that even the poison man is "ashamed of himself", and Zhen Jian only listened to it once, and then "perceived" Qin Xu's intentions.
Righteous daughter? It's a shame that this kid can think of it. Not to mention Qin Xu, who is only eighteen years old this year, if he brings a "daughter" who is only four or five years younger than him, will he have a sense of disobedience in front of people, just Qin Xu's "attitude" that does not know the height of the sky makes Zhen Jian very unhappy.
What did the old Zhen family do when they came to Zi? That's going to marry the hussar general, Qingzhou Mu Lu Bu! As long as Lu Bu and his baby daughter become relatives, even if it is just a concubine, he can sit on the status of the son-in-law of the Zhen family in Hebei and Lu Bujun, who controls Qingxu Erzhou.
Zhen Jian saw clearly that no matter what the situation in Hebei would eventually be, Qingzhou, where Lu Bu was based. Lying between the north, the Central Plains, and Jiangdong will be a hurdle that Hebei's vested interests cannot bypass. And if this happens, then it doesn't matter how the situation changes in the future. At that time, Zhen Jian, who is an elder, will also increase his family's bargaining chips in Hebei because of his "relationship" with Lu Bu; Regardless of whether Lu Bu has ambitions in Hebei or not, he can also be an iron shield for the Zhen family!
Moreover, even if it is just a weak and no weaker name, it is impossible for the Zhen family to speak out to influence Lu Bujun's decision-making, but if Zhen Jian does wear the hat of Lu Bu's father-in-law. How much can also be at a critical moment, there is room to rely on the old and sell the old, and turn around. If you are prepared, you will not be harmed. Lu Bu, who is under the constraints of the rule of "filial piety", especially in the critical period when he is trying to "whitewash", no matter how much he can listen to Zhen Jian's "advice", he must always behave in front of the world! So. Zhen Jian also obtained part of the right to speak in Lu Bu's army in disguise. No matter how much, it can become a talisman for the Zhen family. This is actually the real purpose of the old fox Zhen Jiao.
What is the failure of the first opening? Didn't Lu Bu explicitly refuse? Zhen Jian has considerable confidence in his baby daughter's appearance and strength. No matter in terms of comprehensive strength, fame, or even "future", Liu Yan, Liu Yu, and Yuan Shao, one was the most powerful Han clan at that time, the other was a royal family, and the other was a well-deserved leader in the Han family. Relying on his title of "the world's first fierce general", at best, he is a relatively powerful man in the eyes of the family. Why refuse? Why refuse? Zhen Jian is very confident that he will "take down" Lu Bu when he, the contemporary head of the family, personally comes out.
As for Qin Xu, in Zhen Jian's eyes, what is a kid who doesn't have any hair? It's nothing more than sharp teeth and sharp mouths, in Hebei, this kind of person Zhen Jian doesn't even bother to see. That is, relying on his being Lu Bu's son-in-law, and by chance, he took shit luck and deceived the Son of Heaven to ascend to a high position, so that he would have the opportunity to meet him. The reason why he looked angry before was actually to show Lu Bu. In Zhen Jian's "experience", if he is the lord of other forces, even if it is a relative of the Han family or a wealthy family, if his subordinates anger a family head who can affect the trend of Hebei, even if it is his own son, he has to pretend to reprimand a few words in order to calm the rift between the two families that may be caused by this, causing immeasurable losses. But this time, Lu Bu was beyond Zhen Jian's expectations, and his daughter actually said that Lu Bu not only did not "understand" his kindness, but if it wasn't for Qin Xu's "rescue" in anger, he almost caused a death disaster because of his threat, which made Zhen Jian suffer a "favor" from someone in Qin.
How can Zhen Jian stand it? Lu Bu is just that, Zhen Jian who is full of confidence already regards Boss Lu as his own son-in-law, and he really has to borrow Lu Bujun's power to stabilize the Zhen family's situation in Hebei with foreign aid, and now that he is in Linzi City, Zhen Jian does not want to make any extraneous branches. But what is Qin Xu? After learning about Qin Xu's "kindness", Zhen Jian's first reaction was that Qin was crazy! Completely insane!
No matter what the reason is, Lu Bu is "unwilling" to marry the daughter of the Zhen family as his wife, what kind of fun are you Qin following? Zhen Jiang, the baby daughter of the loss, also suggested that she have a good relationship with this child, how to do it? If you mess around, you will become a godbrother with someone who is about the same age as your eldest grandson. is also a domestic slave, but relying on nepotism with Lu Bu to get to the top of the courtier, don't look at the old Zhen family's businessman's background, I really feel embarrassed.
"Dad, don't patronize and scold that Qin Xu, let's think about what to do about this now!" Zhen Kun looked at Zhen Jian with a black face with a bitter face, and he didn't know what "good" ideas his father could come up with this time. Zhen Kun knew very well that Qin Xu's move could be regarded as a complete generalization of his own army. Originally, Zhen Kun agreed with Zhen Jian's plan very much, and decided that Lu Bu, a person who had a history of Zihao's father and concubine, must be a womanizer, and his five younger sisters, except for Xiao Wu, who was born when his father Zhen Jian was fifty years old and had a juvenile madness, and was still young and less than ten years old, each of the four younger sisters has a peerless appearance, which will definitely make Lu Bu's heart move and be willing to use it for his own use. But who would have thought that the fact is that the infamous Lu Wenhou was quite polite at the banquet, and the hospitality specifications were also extremely high, but he didn't even glance at Zhen Jiang, who was the most promising. On the contrary, it was Qin Xu, the number two person in the Lu Bu army, who seemed to be quite "interested" in his sisters. And his sister-in-law Zhen Jiang also said it. This Qin Xu is the hottest number one person under Lu Bu, and it will not hurt the Zhen family to win over as soon as possible. And it also vaguely pointed out the "special love" of this Qin person and the eyes of the fourth sister, which means very obviously. I don't see that my father Zhen Jian is about to be used by the second sister to marry first. Anyway, the fourth sister is still young, and if Qingzhou is not good, the reason for breaking the contract is the reason to say that when he moved his mind, Jia Xutuo had already conveyed Qin Xu's meaning.
This can be regarded as a hornet's nest, if it is just a matter of marriage contract, Zhen Jian may still be moved by Zhen Jiang. After all, although Hebei is now in chaos, Yuan Tan still occupies the state. There are still tens of thousands of elite horsemen in his hands, and Yuan Xi has been integrated for more than half a year, with the efforts of a group of Yuan's advisers. also gradually controlled the foundation of Jizhou's elite soldiers, and in fact, he already had the strength to compete with Yuan Tan; In addition, Liu Bei, the actual controller of Gongsun Zhan's forces in Youzhou, and Cao Cao, who deployed elite troops in Yanzhou and Sili, almost except for Qingzhou. Almost all the forces bordering Hebei have already begun to move. The situation in Hebei is becoming more and more chaotic. It is not yet known who killed the deer. Maybe one of these forces will follow Yuan Shao's methods at that time and unify Hebei strongly, then the Zhen family will have more choices. At that time, whether to rely on the new Hebei overlord, or to support Lu Bu to continue to let Hebei go on is still up to his old Zhentou's will? Zhen Jiang is worthy of Zhen Jian to say that if he is a man, he will definitely be a hero's evaluation, and he proposed to pay a marriage contract in exchange for a temporary peace of mind, but it is a "strategy" that can be attacked, retreated, and defended. The deal was actually worth it.
But now it was easy for Zhen Jian to reluctantly agree to Zhen Jiang's proposal, and he thought that he would suffer a loss and that he should accept it first. As long as Lu Bujun was a little passive in Hebei affairs, he immediately made a marriage contract, and Qin Xu suddenly came to such a scene. Isn't this a clear intention to let your father run wild? Xiao Wu is still young, as the fourth Xiao Zhen Mi is the most loved by Zhen Jian on weekdays, this time he brought Linzi, to be honest, the close mentality prevailed, but it was just a show of sincerity. Lu Bu is a hero in the world, and he also has a daughter, in Zhen Jian's mind, even if he is hungry and thirsty, he will definitely not choose a Zhen Mi who is younger than his daughter, so he is very relieved. But if Qin Xu asked him to go this time, wouldn't it be inconvenient for Zhen Jian to be like cutting meat?
But then again, no matter what, this place is also the Qingzhou Governance Office, the real Lu Bu's territory, if you don't respond to Qin Xu's "kindness", then ......
"What to do? He, Qin Zhongming, wants to take advantage of our family like this! My daughter of the Zhen family, how can she give it to others casually? If this Qin Xu is a twilight hero, it would be fine, but ......, in short, the old man will never agree! "Zhen Jian is really angry this time. Hunting geese all day long, I didn't expect to be pecked in the eye by a small house finch, which made it difficult for Zhen Jian to accept it. This has nothing to do with the conspiracy, and he simply doesn't want Qin to succeed in his tricks.
"Daddy! Why is there such a big anger? The anger hurts the body, and Daddy should be careful. Zhen Jian's roar was not deliberately suppressed this time, and it happened to be heard by Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi sisters who came to greet him. Zhen Jiang didn't know that Qin wanted to be his father Zhen Jian's "brother", and when he was outside just now, he only listened to a few intermittent words, Zhen Jiang took Zhen Mi's hand, frowned on his beautiful forehead, and asked suspiciously.
Jia Xu's news was sent from other channels, and it was immediately concealed by Zhen Jian and his son, and it was immediately publicized with great fanfare. After all, in Zhen Jian's opinion, this so-called confession of a righteous daughter is Qin Xu's treacherous plan to humiliate the Zhen family and sabotage his plan. should have refused without saying a word, but if he could think about it, he would have already given Lu Bu enough face. At this moment, I have heard some of my two daughters, and Zhen Jian, who is a father, also felt a little embarrassed, glanced at Zhen Kun who was smiling bitterly, and refused to say more.
"Ahem, it's not that Qin Xu yet!" Zhen Kun got his father's eyes, and the bitterness on his face became even stronger. As the second son, the Zhen family's huge family business belongs to only a small part of him, and in order to protect the reputation of the Zhen family's filial piety, it is entrusted to the name of his eldest brother Zhen Qian. And for the searching eyes of his scheming second sister, Zhen Kun even felt a greater pressure than staying with his father.
"What? It's just that Lu Bu refuses to want me, is it possible that this Qin Xu also refuses to want a little sister? Zhen Jiang's violent words under his beautiful temperament made Zhen Kun embarrassed for a while. Even Zhen Jian, who turned his back, frowned. But think about this girl, at the banquet, she dared to speak out and sarcastically sarcastically about what Qin Xu, the number two person in Lu Bujun's army, said now. And not surprisingly.
"No, no, it's not!" Zhen Kun glanced at the back of his father's head in embarrassment, and said tentatively: "Qin Xu has just ordered his retainers to send news, of course he is willing to ask for the little sister ......"
"Isn't that the end of it! The little sister is still young now, and there are still some days before he goes. Our Zhen family is not one of those small families, so we will marry our daughter out in a hurry and drag it out for a few years. Wait for Hebei to make the final choice after the matter, and there is no obstacle to the life of my Zhen family and little sister, what are you and your father worried about, second brother? Zhen Jiang asked very quickly: "Could it be that Qin Xu is not worried about his father's sincerity?" Also. This thief has just had a fight with my father, so naturally there is some prejudice against my Zhen family, and it seems that I have to find a way that can not only not hurt my little sister's reputation, but also make Qin Xu get his wish......"
"No...... Jiang'er. Did you listen to me say that it was in good condition? Zhen Kun looked at his second sister Zhen Jiang with a wry smile who didn't give him a chance to speak. He said with some hesitation: "Jiang Er, don't bother, then Qin Xu did agree, and he didn't mention any conditions!" ”
"Huh?" Zhen Jiang rolled his eyes suspiciously, and asked, "In that case, what are you and your father still worried about here, second brother?" I think so, although our little sister has not yet opened, it is compared to Lu Lingqi, who was also promised to someone Qin at the age of thirteen. Whether in terms of appearance or family background, it is better than that. Since Qin Xu has such a hobby, he will definitely not let it go easily. ”
"But although Qin Xu agreed, he didn't want his little sister to be a concubine, but a daughter!" Seeing that if Zhen Jiang could not be cut off in the middle, Zhen Kun was really afraid that he would take Zhen Jiang to the ditch, so he hurriedly said.
"What? What did you say! Zhen Jiangmei was stunned for a moment, and blurted out in disbelief: "Then what is Qin Zhongming's idea?" Isn't it crazy? ”
"Jiang Er said well! As a father, he also thinks that this Qin Xu is crazy! He actually wants to use this means to covet my Zhen family's daughter, and at the same time keep himself out of the matter, do you really think that others can't see his scheme! Zhen Jian was a little embarrassed to see his two precious daughters, but after listening to what Zhen Jiang said at this moment, he immediately applauded.
"Daddy! Jiang'er! Now that the conditions have been proposed, what I should think about now is how to reply. Let's talk about the rest slowly! Now Zhen Kun can see that his father really has a good impression of Qin Xu, but any words that hit Qin Xu will make Zhen Jian a lot happier. But the question is, this doesn't seem to be able to cause any substantial harm to Qin Xu at all, so what's the use?
"Pack up and go back to Jizhou! If you are a father, you don't believe Lu Bu, he dares to detain him as a father, and he can't do it! Zhen Jian said categorically: "Didn't Qian'er go to visit Cao Cao on behalf of his father?" Lu Bujun's gang is unreliable, and he doesn't believe in this Cao Cao as a father! Even if my Zhen family wants to succumb to the Wei family in the future, it is better than being humiliated so much by a boy born as a house slave! ”
"Daddy, slow down!" As soon as Zhen Jian finished speaking, two crisp voices rang out.
"Huh? Jiang'er, Mi'er? You guys? Originally, if Zhen Jiang was just talking about it, it would have been expected by Zhen Jian. After all, Zhen Jian's old eyes are not blind, and he can see that his precious daughter Zhen Jiang is afraid that after meeting Lu Bu, I am afraid that she will already have such a little meaning. After all, she is already a big girl in her teens, and it was Zhen Jian who delayed her daughter's life because she promised that she could live with strange goods, and then she got older, but either Zhen Jian was optimistic that Zhen Jiang was too old, or Zhen Jiang didn't look down on others, and it was so long that it dragged on until now, and now it is easy to see a character who can be called a peerless hero, and it is strange that he is not moved. But Zhen Mi's reaction was much beyond Zhen Mi's expectations.
Although the fourth child of his own family is not very old, as the old father, the Zhen family naturally knows that this girl is pretending to be cute and stupid, and she is actually a very assertive person, and she can't pull back the eight cows that she recognizes. And Zhen Mi has had a very good relationship with her second sister since she was a child, and her personality is also biased, or she would not calmly and abnormally look at a group of brothers and sisters plus her own father planning her life and blindly "pretending to be stupid". Now that he suddenly spoke, he must have already made a conclusion.
"Mi'er! Don't worry, Daddy will definitely protect you in this matter! Although the daughter of my Zhen family is not a nobleman, the god man said back then that among the five sisters of you, one of them will be extremely noble in the world, and the mother will be the world! I definitely won't let the villain intercept my Zhen family's luck out of thin air! ”
"Daddy!" Zhen Mi and the second sister Zhen Jiang glanced at each other, and said very firmly to Zhen Jian, who was gritting his teeth at Qin's treachery: "My daughter and the second sister have different views!" ”
"Mi'er! Jiang'er! What are you ......" Zhen Jian looked at the two daughters with a faint smile on their delicate faces in amazement, and suddenly felt that the brains that had relied on them to crisscross Hebei for several years were not enough. (To be continued......)
