Chapter 389: Happy to Be a Father (I)
Qin Xu's "treacherous scheme" was discovered, and Zhen Jian's "favorability" towards this arrogant boy in his eyes has been infinitely close to zero. Coupled with Qin's aggressiveness this time, as well as Lu Bu's silence, Lao Zhen almost gave up his strategy of making friends with Qingzhou, and was ready to coldly see how Lu Bu was "defeated" in the hands of Qin Xu, a "villain" who didn't know how the sky was high and the earth was thick.
Unexpectedly, his two baby daughters are not the same as his father's heart. Even in Zhen Jian's opinion, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi are like playing with fire this time. Knowing that it was Qin's trick, he had to rush up and paste it, this stubbornness made Zhen Jian, who was already upset, look even more uncomfortable on his wrinkled old face.
The second daughter Zhen Jiang is like this, although Zhen Jian is also surprised, she can understand it somewhat. This precious daughter of her own family has been very assertive since she was a child, and this incident is related to Zhen Jiang's lifelong event, so it is easy to have an eye-catcher, if she rashly breaks with Lu Bu, it is not surprising that Zhen Jiang is unwilling. But what happened to the fourth little Zhen Mi this time? knows that they have a deep sisterhood, but they don't need to be involved with Zhen Jiang in this matter. Could it be that you really believed Qin Xu's words?
"Father-in-law" and "daughter-in-law"? , right? There are many rights and wrongs in the big family, Zhen Jian has lived a Jiazi, what have you never seen? With Zhen Jian's experience, he will not have any optimistic views on this so-called "father-daughter" relationship without any blood. Coupled with his misunderstanding of Zhen Jiang's explanation when his second daughter Zhen Jiang was "eyebrow-to-eye" with Qin Xu at the banquet, as well as Qin Xu's rumored "special hobby" for this little girl who has not yet grown, Zhen Jian will do whatever it takes for the sake of the family. This time, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of a father's love for his daughter, and I would definitely not let Zhen Mi and Qin Xu get involved.
No way! This must be that Qin thief didn't know what tricks he used to hide from his daughter, so that they had only met each other, Zhen Mi, who was so defenseless in the face of Qin Xu's sinister intentions! Zhen Jian secretly gritted his teeth. Make up your mind that you won't let Qin Xu succeed no matter what!
"Daddy?" Seeing Zhen Jian frowning and sneering for a while, Zhen Jiang also couldn't understand what was wrong with his father, and only said that Zhen Jian was still thinking about how to weigh it, frowned and shouted Zhen Jian, and said: "As Daddy said before, now Wen Hou has not expressed his position, that is, he is friends and enemies with my Zhen family." But at least he didn't say no. And the eldest brother has the Wei family in Cao Cao's obstruction, and it is difficult to have an accurate letter in a short time, so it will drag on more and more. In fact, the more unfavorable it is to my Zhen family. Although the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are incompetent, they will eventually perceive the intentions of my Zhen family, and if we don't make a decision in time, we can only become more and more passive. And if both sides are unfavorable, they will rush back to Hebei......"
"Jiang Er's ability is ten times better than your brothers. I just hate it! Zhen Jiang's words made Zhen Jian silent for a while. The reason for this is that Zhen Jian doesn't know. Emaciated camels are bigger than horses. No matter how poor the descendants of the Yuan family are, there is a frame of the fourth world and three dukes to support it, it is not easy to kill the Zhen family, but it is too easy to let the Zhen family get mixed on the ground in Hebei. As soon as this thought came out, Zhen Jian, who was holding a breath of anger in his heart, gradually calmed down, but on the one hand, it was the great cause of the Zhen family, and on the other hand, the life of his two daughters. After several trade-offs to no avail, I can only know how many times I have made such an exclamation. made Zhen Kun, who was standing behind, blush. When he was still thinking about how to deal with Lu Bu for his father Zhen Jian, his little sister had already begun to think about how to deal with the aftermath. That's the gap!
"Daddy doesn't have to say that!" Zhen Jiang seemed to have heard too many similar words from Zhen Jian, his face did not change, he responded lightly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and said: "Actually, we should really calm down and think about it, Qin Xu's proposal this time is actually not entirely for some special reasons. The land of Hebei was torn apart because of Yuan Shao's violent death, and the two sons were incompetent, which was already a big piece of fat, which was coveted by the surrounding forces. And the benefits of having the three states of Hebei, everyone knows it very well in their hearts, and Wen Hou naturally will not sit and watch others peep on the side of his couch. And the reason why I put on such a posture now may be that I have risen too fast in the past two years, the foundation is insufficient, the foundation is unstable, and there is no family like my Zhen family to help, so I dare not move lightly! Second, secondly, Daddy is too anxious! Waiting for the heroes of the world, naturally bloody hair, will not be bullied to the head and be unmoved, according to what his daughter said before, the reason why Qin Xu was so purposeful at that time was to leave a buffer time for the two families, and this incident was a temptation! ”
"Temptation? Hum! Qin Xu, who was born as a domestic slave and a pig-like character, dares to use my Zhen family daughter as a temptation? Zhen Jian still said goodbye to himself, although he had agreed with what Zhen Jiang said, but he still refused to give in.
"Daddy!" Zhen Jiang, who had just complained a little bit about his own affairs, and Zhen Jiang, who was still a little red at the moment, saw that his father was still holding on to this point, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said with a smile: "Daddy, it's better to say less in the future, haven't you always handed it over to us to be cautious in our words and deeds?" This is Linzi, maybe at this moment, Daddy just finished speaking, then Xiang Wenhou and Qin Zhongming already know! ”
"Humph!" Although Zhen Jian was a little embarrassed by his daughter's accusation, he finally kept his mouth shut.
"Qin Xu is definitely not to be underestimated!" Seeing that Zhen Jian no longer played the temper of an old child, Zhen Jiang paused with a smile, and was not entangled with his father, so he changed his words and said: "Qin Xu's origin has become a mystery, and he is not known to the world, but he is the master of the inner mansion since he was a child, and he has climbed to such a high position in two years, although he has Lu Bu's help, but if he has no means, it will definitely be difficult to succeed!" And daddy, don't forget, the name of this vertical son in your mouth, but even Cao Cao and other characters have recorded it on the side of the sleeves of their robes, and they dare not forget it at any time! Therefore, if Mi'er has this 'father-in-law', in fact, there will be no damage to the reputation of my Zhen family, and it will not affect Mi'er's life in the future. And as far as her daughter knows, Qin Xu now has four beauties in the house, and their tempers are all people with some 'characteristics', as long as Mi'er follows these four people, there should be nothing to worry about by her father. ”
"Jiang'er, if that's really the case. But I'm sorry for you! Zhen Jian didn't say anything about Zhen Jiang's words, but sighed deeply and said, "If this time just wants my Zhen family to be soft." If you don't say a word for your father, it's a big deal to give up this old face. But Jiang Er have you thought about it, if Qin Xu has a plan this time, not only is your eldest brother's plan on behalf of our Zhen family in Cao Cao all in vain, but Jiang Er, how will you face Lu Bu in the future? ”
"Daddy! You're talking about Mi'er, what are you doing with your daughter? It's a big deal, my daughter promised you that she would never shame the Zhen family! Listened to what Zhen Jian said. Of course, Zhen Jiang understood what his father meant. If Zhen Mi becomes Qin Xu's daughter, she will inevitably become the younger generation of Lu Bu, who is Qin Xu's father-in-law. originally planned to let Zhen Mi and Qin Xu get married in order to plot a big plan, but they were already going to let the Zhen family face the joke of the sister-in-law in the eyes of others! This time it's even worse. If it happens, it will almost eliminate all the "possibilities" between Zhen Jiang and Lu Bu! After all, Weng and his son-in-law marry sisters, and they can find individual reasons to deduce, after all, this is nothing new. It was Lu Bu and Qin Xu. When Cao Bao and Mi Zhu were forced to marry before, they also pinched their noses and did similar things. The boss doesn't laugh at the second. For the Zhen family, it is still within the controllable range. But if Zhen Jiang has a little "can't help it", and Lu Bu, who has a bad reputation, will also push the boat down the river, when the time comes, sisters or grandchildren? Brother-in-law or son-in-law? The eldest sister-in-law is still the mother-in-law, and this account is really difficult to calculate. Lu Bu and Qin Xu are nothing, anyway, this Weng and his son-in-law are not very famous. As one of the seven wealthy businessmen of the Han Dynasty, the Zhen family has been inherited for hundreds of years. But it has really become the laughing stock of the world. As the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Jian may also be hated to death by the people in the clan, right? Therefore, Zhen Jian was worried about his baby daughter, but in fact, he was vaguely reminding Zhen Jiang of his words, which made Zhen Jiang's calm eyes flash a little bit of shame.
"Oh? Since Jiang Er and Mi Er both said so, could it be that there is a way to solve this dead end? Speak up and let Daddy check for you! Seeing that because of his father's words, the atmosphere between them was a little stiff, but on the one hand, his sister and on the other hand, his own son, Zhen Kun really couldn't bear the silence, and after getting Zhen Jian's "vicious" gaze, he hurriedly broke the embarrassing situation and asked.
"The second brother is right! This is indeed an unsolvable dead end! Zhen Mi glanced at his second brother and said, "But it's ......."
"Huh? But what? Jiang Er, hurry up! Zhen Jian also knew that what he just said was not like what a father should say to his daughter, and at this moment, seeing Zhen Jiang open his mouth, he also pretended that nothing had happened, and asked.
"Without him, the sages have a saying, if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful! It's just a little bit of a workaround! After all, it is his own father, Zhen Jiang also knows his father's concerns, and said lightly: "Isn't Mi'er obsessed with music since childhood!" And today, those who are proficient in this way can be called the highest, only the great Confucian Cai Yong Cai Zhonglang in the sea. I heard that Cai Zhonglang is in Qingzhou right now, and he was appointed by Wen Hou as the big sacrificial wine of Jixia School Palace. Why don't you let Mi Er worship at Cai Zhonglang's knees, and only say that she is loved by Cai Zhonglang and recognized as her granddaughter. In this way, firstly, Mi'er's request to learn piano art can be fulfilled, and secondly, it can be regarded as a kind of flexibility, which will surely become a turning point in this matter. ”
"Cai Yong? Cai Zhonglang? That's right! Why didn't you think of it as a father? Zhen Jian heard Cai Yong's name from Zhen Jiang's mouth, and even if he understood Zhen Jiang's intentions, he couldn't help but feel a little praise for his precious daughter's opinion.
Cai Yong! This is a great god! Not only was he once a leader in the literary world, but he also had a very high rank among scholars, and he was a figure like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the beginning, and he had to practice the etiquette of the younger generation when he saw him. If it is true that he has a "good fate" with Cai Yong because of Zhen Mi, for the Zhen family, it is a beautiful thing that falls from the sky. Not only can the prestige of the family that runs the "cheap business" of the businessman be greatly improved, but it is also equivalent to a "counterattack" to Qin Xu's unreasonable requirements for this guy. Not to mention the number in one fell swoop, Zhen Jian calculated carefully, and this time the Zhen family made it.
"It's just...... It's just that I heard that Cai Zhonglang is only obsessed with the affairs of the academy because of his old age, and although he is in Linzi, he rarely goes out of the mountain, so I rashly put forward such a request, will Cai Zhonglang agree? Zhen Kun saw that his father and two younger sisters had a smile on their faces, and asked with some uncertainty.
"Second brother, have you forgotten that this Cai Zhonglang's daughter is Cai Yan, Qin Xuping's wife?" The corners of Zhen Jiang's mouth were slightly hooked, and a beautiful smile was drawn, and he said, "Then doesn't Qin Xu want his little sister to be his daughter, and he is the elder of more than a dozen of our brothers and sisters?" Our Zhen family is not just something that can be kneaded around at will! This time, it also gave him a problem. As for whether Cai Zhonglang agrees or not, naturally he will worry about us! ”
"Dad's words, second brother, I have a deep understanding now! If you are a man. The land of Hebei will never fly out of your palm! Even if Zhen Kun has never seen the world much again, he now understands the meaning of the "flexible" words that Zhen Jiang just said. Yes, don't you Qin Xu want Zhen Mi to be her daughter, it's easy, the Zhen family agreed, but the condition is to worship under Cai Yong's knees first. In this way, the final outcome looks the same. It's all about letting someone Qin take a big advantage. But there is such an extra dish in the middle, but it actually makes the Zhen family benefit a lot in this matter, not to mention, Zhen Jiang is the mastermind. There is also a live buckle that can be said to be an item! Cai Yong and Wang Yun have been entangled all their lives, and their generations are naturally equal, but Lu Bu's concubine Diao Chan is Wang Yun's righteous daughter, but she learns the piano with Cai Yan. It can be regarded as some friendship between master and apprentice; But Cai Yong's son-in-law is also Lu Bu's son-in-law; So it seems. At the very least, if Lu Bu is really "calculated" by Zhen Jiang into the pomegranate skirt in the future, there will be Cai Yong, who is already separated from Lu Bu's chaotic age, at least the resistance will be much smaller. I have to say that Zhen Jiang's scheming is really like the Seven Tricks.
"Hah! This time, it's time for Qin Xu to have a headache! Zhen Kun saw that the matter was "solved" by Zhen Jiang, and his father and two younger sisters had a small appearance again, so he also smiled and said.
Qin Xu really has a headache! But it's not because of Zhen Jiang's calculations.
For Cai Yong, who is about to be upgraded to a grandfather, this kind of trivial matter is just a matter of Qin Xu's words. The older a person gets, the easier it is to feel lonely, and the stubborn old man's family is because of what happened to Dong Zhuo at the beginning. The close relatives are basically gone, and there is only Cai Yan, an only daughter with a quiet temperament, who is not very reliable. Qin Xu, his son-in-law who was away from home all day, naturally felt even stronger, and had to mix a lot of his age in the Jixia School Palace to teach some school-age children. But now that his daughter is pregnant, Qin Xu has "gotten" a granddaughter, she has long seen through the way of the world, and she is envious of other old men who can go around their knees, tease their grandchildren, and raise Cai Yong, who is of course easy to talk to. Zhen Jiang, who didn't know the true meaning here, was naturally difficult to calculate.
Qin Xu now has a headache and is another father-in-law of his family! Zhen Jiang's mouth is constantly warming, Boss Lu, the master of his own army!
At the banquet that entertained Zhen Jian's family that day, Qin Xu was out of the limelight, and he also successfully curried favor with his own genuine mother-in-law, and then after Lu Lingqi's relay, Qin Xu was praised so much, and he was very satisfied with his son-in-law!
But there is a gain and a loss, this is an eternal truth! If you serve your mother-in-law well, you will inevitably make your father-in-law unhappy. What's more, because he did not "reject" Zhen Jiang's kindness in time at the banquet at that time, he was treated unfairly by the old man who was not very good-tempered in his own house. So much so that in the next few days, Lu Bu picked his nose and eyes at Qin Xu for everything he did, and finally didn't know what the world's number one fierce general had in mind, so he ordered Qin Xu to assist Sima Zanghong in Qingzhou, urging and "guiding" the relevant matters related to the opening of wasteland outside the city and the spring ploughing.
God be pitiful! Qin has been a typical rice worm for two lifetimes. A typical representative of the four bodies that are not diligent and the five grains are not divided. Isn't it obvious that people who can't even distinguish between grains and grains go to "guide" the spring ploughing of agricultural work experts who have been plowing fields for several lifetimes? Fortunately, Qin someone is very clear, and it is taboo to guide insiders and laymen no matter where they are placed, so they simply run around Linzi every day in order to let their father-in-law dissipate their anger, and they have the right to visit the grassroots level to comfort the life of the Yellow Turban soldiers who have no time to care about when they were recruited by themselves, and exercise the body of some small muscles that Lu Lingqi has practiced every day. Of course, this is not without other benefits, at least Qin Xu has unconsciously soared a lot of his prestige in these former Yellow Turban troops who have settled down in the past few days. And what Qin Xu didn't know was that many of these people were the families of the soldiers who were selected as Qingzhou soldiers to guard Xuzhou, Lu Bu came to the heart of the sergeants, and secondly, to prevent trouble, so he arranged all the families of the Qingzhou soldiers who could be found near Linzi, so that they could take care of the families of these soldiers nearby, but it was to Qin Xu this time, but in the future, the news of Qin Xu's personal "condolences" in the past few days was transmitted to Xuzhou through the family letter, which made the Qingzhou soldiers more and more desperate for Qin, which was also an unexpected joy.
Time is like Boss Lu's temper, it comes and goes quickly. More than ten days later, Lu Bu called Qin Xu back with a warrant, and after scolding Qin Xu for "not doing his job", he displayed a piece of information written on silk in front of Qin Xu.
"These guys really don't stop, don't you know that reckless military force is the way to death? Well, this trip to the muddy waters of Hebei is really unbelievable! It seems that we have to hurry up the matter with the Zhen family! Qin Xu took the news from Lu Bu's hand, frowned and read it, shook his head and said, "...... (To be continued......)
