Chapter 392: Yuan Shanghao's Gift, Qin Xu Accepts It with a Smile (II)
Yuan Shang's generosity made Qin Xu once again clearly understand what is called a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family.
Seeing that Yuan Shang, who was expelled from the camp and wandered outside, was still able to easily take out so much money to give gifts, it is enough to see how rich the old Yuan family, which has the prestige of the fourth generation and the third prince, is in its heyday.
It is no wonder that Yuan Shao was able to unify Hebei in a few years, and became the master of Guanasean; No wonder Yuan Shu dared to ascend the throne and claim the emperor immediately when he got the jade seal, without considering the consequences; No wonder Yuan Tan dared to tease Cao Cao after only occupying Bingzhou, and wanted to inherit all the "treatment" of his father Yuan Shao; It would be strange who is guarding the source of this huge resource, and the mind is not "lively".
Compared with the rich heritage of the Yuan family, Jia Xu expected that Yuan Shang would send almost half of the money, food, and armor in Jizhou, and it didn't seem to make Qin Xu so excited.
Think about it, too, seeing that everyone is mixed up with this, it can still be like this. The benefits that this down-and-out Yuan Sanzi of Qingzhou can bring to Lu Bujun may be far more than those on the gift list!
When the God of Wealth arrives, he naturally wants to see it! I don't see how to be worthy of the self-esteem of someone Qin in his previous life.
"Brother Xianfu! Qin was late, oops, he really neglected the distinguished guest! What a faux pas! In the side hall of the Qin Mansion, Qin Xu once again saw this "once" who was famous in Jizhou for a while, and "once" was considered the most "popular" candidate for the next generation of the Yuan family, but now he is the third son of Yuan who lives in Qingzhou.
"Don't dare to be! No matter when! Today was originally a banquet for Qin envoys to welcome their daughters, and they were not invited yet. It is really rude to ask Qin to make Jun take out the time to see it in person! I also hope that Qin will make the king forgive his sins! Seeing Qin Xu coming, Yuan Shang hurriedly got up and stood up. I thought it was a professor from a master, and without waiting for Qin Xu's kind words to finish, he immediately fell to the ground without saying a word, his expression was respectful, the etiquette was in place, where was there still half a point of the prestige of Yuan Sangongzi, who was calling for wind and rain in Jizhou back then, this "low-key" attitude. It's really impossible to find the slightest mistake, and it's just like the arrogant appearance at the gate of Yecheng City.
"Xianfu, what are you talking about! Jizhou and Qingzhou were originally friendly neighboring states and counties, and they were the heroes of the original public world. With my father-in-law Lu Wenhou, he is also a general of the imperial court, and he once had a trip to Chang'an with Qin, working together to save the Son of Heaven in danger, which shows the friendship between you and me. Xianfu saw the outside like this. But it's not right! "Today is a double blessing. not only accepted a future Luo Shen as his daughter, but also got the old poison that he had been "coveted" for two years, and Qin was in a pretty good mood. Coupled with the fact that the golden doll of the Yuan family in front of him seemed to be covered with gold and sent it to the door by himself, Qin Xu has always been "close" when facing the "big customer" who may bring him the benefits of the marquis.
"What Qin Envoy Jun said is true! That's right! That ...... "I don't know if Qin's acting skills are too high, or if Yuan Shang's kid is too sincere, in short, after Yuan Shang heard it, it seemed that he really believed Qin Xu's polite words. He let out a long breath, and his tense body relaxed. Even the thick hesitation that had been hanging on his face. It has also decreased a lot.
"Presumably, Xianfu is here to tell you, right? Sit down, it doesn't matter, speak slowly. According to the friendship between you and me, as long as Qin is within his ability, he will definitely not disappoint Xianfu! Seeing Yuan Shang's cramped appearance, the smile on Qin Xu's face became stronger, as if he was tempting the big bad wolf of Little Red Riding Hood, and tried to make a "kind" appearance, and said softly. After all, he had just received such a heavy gift from others, and even if Qin was impatient with Yuan Shang's visit with a purpose, he would have to give face to those many military resources, grain, grass, and coins.
However, Qin Xu's age is only one or two years older than Yuan Shang, but now it is only because of the change of "identity and status", Qin Xu is now speaking to Yuan Shang in such a down-looking tone, and he does not have the slightest sense of disobedience, and it does not arouse Yuan Shang's disgust. I have to say that the world is impermanent!
"Yes! Be! This time I am still here, one is the joy of He Qin's envoy, and the other is true, there is indeed one thing that my mother told me in every possible way, and I hope that Qin will make Jun Yucheng! It's ......" Yuan Xiaohonghao lowered his head, sat on the guest seat in a regular manner, accepted the kindness of Qin's big bad wolf, peeked at Qin Xu's face, first muttered for a while, and then said with a deep voice: "The righteous daughter that my mother heard that Qin Envoy Jun welcomed this time is the young (female) of the Zhen clan of the Hebei clan, this Zhen family used to be the first father of the first father, that ......"
"Huh? Why should Xianfu be like this, if you have something to say, you can say it directly! It doesn't have to be such a roundabout. Listening to Yuan Shangzhiwu's unspeakable words and that cramped expression, Qin Xu's eyebrows were raised. I vaguely guessed Yuan Shang's intention this time, but when he was not sure, the smile on his face was also a lot thinner, and he said lightly.
"Yuan Shang is arrogant, sticking to his father's last words, and on the orders of his mother, he wants to ...... I want to form a ...... with the young lady of the Qin Envoy Jun family. Brother and sister! Yuan Shang's expression was cramped, his face was flushed, and he was almost squeezed before he could say what he wanted to say. After finishing speaking, he quickly lowered his head,
"What!?" Qin Xu was stunned! Subconsciously touched his cheek, almost thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.
What's the situation? Just now, Yuan Shang's honorific words have been paved for so long, and even Yuan Shao's last words have been involved. Qin Xu also thought that the person behind Yuan Shang had the idea of the Zhen family, intending to lure the Lu Bujun represented by Qin Xu into the Zhen family through the Zhen family.
It's no wonder that Qin Xu thinks so. After all, the Yuan family and the Zhen family had a marriage before, although it was not possible to do so later because of Yuan Shao's violent death, Yuan Shu's rebellion and other reasons; But in this era of paying attention to the promise of parents, if Yuan Shang insists on "replaceing" the treatment of Yuan Xi in history and becoming the husband of Luoshen, unless Qin Xu speaks out as a righteous father, there is really no way to bypass it.
What's more, Qin Xu didn't get news from Jia Xu, and now Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are also staring at the four flower-like baby girls of the Zhen family who have not yet come out of the pavilion with wolf eyes.
If he becomes the son-in-law of the Zhen family, with the help of his rich financial resources, and the influence of the old Yuan family in the Han Dynasty, plus if he can get the support of Lu Bujun, Yuan Shang will want to pay a certain price. It is not impossible to recapture Jizhou.
But what Yuan Shang wants now is to become a brother and sister. took the initiative to ask for someone who was only one or two years older than him, and he was also a generation shorter than Qin, who was only one or two years older than him, and also brought Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan, and Yuan Xi, a big gang of old Yuan family, to be stained with Yuan Shang's light, no wonder Yuan Shang was so confused just now.
"The Zhen family and the Yuan family are world friends, and the little sister of the Zhen family is naturally the same as the Yuan family. Now that it has been ...... by Qin Uncle Qin thinks that the daughter of the righteous daughter, Yuan Shangzi should follow closely! Yuan Shang's tears were about to fall, and he stood up violently. knelt down in front of Qin Xu, fell to the ground, and said with a crying voice.
Yuan Shang's meaning, Qin Xu understood. can also feel Yuan Shang's hatred for his two brothers. even did not hesitate to surrender his identity to win Qin Xu's support. Regardless of whether this was the idea of the two great strategists behind Yuan Shang, or the plan of Yuan Shao's wife Liu, Yuan Shang can now put down his body and say these words, in his heart. Qin Xu still admires this third son of the Yuan family, who was favored at a young age but lost power at a young age.
But then again. Understand and understand, Yuan Shang's age is only one or two years younger than himself, and Yuan Shang's identity is too special, at most it is the orthodoxy of the Yuan family in exile in Qingzhou, and the current world is in chaos, if Lu Bujun wants to take the opportunity to make a difference in Hebei, he can't be too involved with it. Otherwise, it will be a troublesome thing to gain more.
This happened too suddenly, and Qin Xu couldn't come up with an idea for a while. People even shouted "uncle", which also made the idea of teasing and teasing this arrogant Yuan family junior before. It's lightened a lot.
"Manifest no such thing! Hurry up! Ben Chu Gong and Qin's father-in-law Lu Wenhou are brothers, and you and I should be the same, as for the affairs of the Zhen family, it is not hindered by the friendship between you and me, each of them is their own friendship! Although Qin Xu really wanted to sit and eat fruit with Yuan Shao in his heart, at least to get a taste of the consequences of the boundless trouble brought to Lu Bujun by the verbal bargains sent to the door, Qin Xu still stopped this thought very decisively, made a look of thinking about Yuan Shang, and said bitterly.
The people of the old Yuan family are not easy to provoke! Even if Yuan Shao died violently and Yuan Shu was defeated, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were walking on the road to death. But the influence of the behemoth of the old Yuan family on the Han Dynasty is not something that can be completely erased in a year or two. What's more, Yuan Shang still has no acting skills to speak of, and he is clearly telling others that this is just a use! Qin Xu is not stupid, this kind of thing is not beneficial, it offends people, and it is easy to attract hatred, and in the end it is only a false name, of course, it is necessary to refuse with righteous words!
"Qin Envoy Jun is so benevolent and righteous, he doesn't take advantage of people's danger, Yuan is really grateful!" After all, Yuan Shang is also a young man of sixteen or seventeen, a pure young man who is in a rebellious period, where can the city government compare to the old bird of the Qin family who was a person in the last two lives, seeing the sincerity of what Qin Xu said, coupled with the huge congratulatory gift that his family gave him before, as long as it was a person, Yuan Shang also went down the steps given by Qin Xu.
"Xianfu still has something important?" Qin Xu thought that Yuan Shang would definitely have a following, but unexpectedly, after Yuan Shang was rejected by himself, he seemed to have fulfilled his mind, sitting there with his eyes and nose and nose and heart, and there was nothing else to say, which made the scene stiff. Seeing that Yuan Shang had no intention of continuing, and had no intention of leaving, Qin Xu had just made a high profile, and it was not easy to send off the guests directly, so he had to remind him.
"Oh, nothing! If Qin Envoy Jun didn't have any instructions, then Shang would have retired first! Yuan Shang seemed to have just realized that today was the day of a major event in the Qin Mansion, so he hurriedly got up, didn't say much, and walked backwards.
"What does Yuan Shang want to do?" Yuan Shang came strangely this time, he walked inexplicably, and gave such a big gift, a fool could expect that he would inevitably ask for something, but he didn't expect to leave like this, which really made Qin Xu really puzzled by the second monk. Seeing Jia Xu Shi Shiran, who had been in the side hall of the side room, come out, Qin Xu frowned and asked.
"Lord, the person behind Yuan Shang, I'm afraid I'm going to make a move!" Jia Xu pondered for a while, showed a little smile on his face, and said: "The purpose of Yuan Shang's coming this time is just to test and see if the lord has the intention of interfering in Hebei. The lord's move to accept the daughter of the Zhen family as a righteous daughter is afraid that some people are worried. ”
"Yuan Shang was driven out of Jizhou by Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and the orphans and widows were exiled to Qingzhou, and the people behind it ......, does Wen He refer to Tian Feng, the former minister of the Yuan family, and the frustration?" Qin Xu was told by Jia Xu, and he always felt that something was wrong, Yuan Shang came at this time, and he wanted to befriend Qin Xu, but it really seemed that he had a heart to be tempted. Otherwise, it wouldn't have come so rashly and drifted away.
"Don't forget, lord. Those gifts on Yuan Shang's gift list. It's not like it's a better deal than the expulsion of exiles. I'm afraid that even General Lu and Cao Mengde will have to work hard to get such a batch of military coins. But Yuan Shang is just a big child, so he said without blinking that he would give it away! Moreover, I thought that those military horses, grain and grass were the fishing hooks of the third prince of Yuan, intending to let the lord persuade General Lu to send troops to take it in person, but now seeing what Yuan Shang said, it seems that this is not the case! Now even Jia can't guess the intentions of the Yuan family! Jia Xu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly chuckled a few times. said: "It seems that we can only wait for Yuan Shang to cut the gift list with the main bus, and then see what Yuan Shang's intentions are." Now that the auspicious time is approaching, the lord is an indispensable person. Don't delay! Such trivial matters will be handed over to Xu! ”
"Huh? Since this is the case, it is hard to reconcile. Qin Xu heard what Jia Xu said, but it was inconvenient to see the old poison to speak clearly. Moreover, at present, establishing a good relationship with the Zhen family is also one of the means of infiltrating Hebei. Qin Xu simply treated it as if Yuan Shang had never come, handed it over to Jia Xu to deal with it with all his powers, and dealt with the Zhen family by himself.
"The hussar general Qingzhou Mu Wen Hou Lu Gong gave the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion a hundred horses and ten boxes of jewelry to congratulate."
"The general of the cavalry, Yanzhou Muwuping, Hou Cao Gong, gave the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion ten pearls and hundreds of cloths of various colors to congratulate."
"General Yangbo, Sima Zanggong of Qingzhou. A number of congratulatory gifts are offered to congratulate you. ”
……
With the guest appearance of the congratulatory gift master of ceremonies, Lu Bujun's chief butler shouted the roll call. This ceremony of welcoming the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion is officially opened. It also allowed the "well-informed" people from all parties who came to congratulate Qin Fu to see Qin Xu's "energy" again. Not only did Lu Bu send a rich gift, but Qingzhou both civil and military, headed by Gao Shun and Zang Hong, no matter what the department, also sent corresponding gifts, even Zhang Liao, who was stationed in the plains and did not have much contact with Qin Xu during the day, also got the news, and his eldest son Zhang Hu, who had just turned thirteen, came to congratulate his father.
Of course, joy and depression are relative. The Zhen family was forced to choose this way of "cooperating" with Lu Bujun this time, although Zhen Jiang made the true meaning of this, but this kind of guarantee for the interaction between the two families with their own precious daughter is something that the old Zhen family has never had since it rose to become one of the six wealthy businessmen of the Han Dynasty. Especially when Zhen Jian is still alive, there is such a thing of "selling women for glory", and under the Zhen family, the head of his family, naturally there will be no joy. So much so that in the hall, there was a sharp contrast with the smiling people in the Qin Mansion and the congratulatory guests.
It wasn't until he saw Cai Yong, who was really invited to come because he gave face to his son-in-law, and saw the arrival of Cai Yong's big sacrificial wine and came to congratulate the arrival of the great Confucian of the Jixia School Palace, Zhen Jian's orange peel old face, that he could be regarded as having a little smile, and he could be regarded as recovering a little bit of his demeanor as one of the six wealthy businessmen of the Han Dynasty.
This ritual of accepting a righteous woman completely according to the ancient rites is very boring and boring, and there are too many political factors mixed in it, which adds a lot of falsehood. You must know that Zhen Mi's age is actually only one year younger than Lu Lingqi, the eldest woman of the Qin Mansion, and only seven or eight years younger than Cai Yan, the real mother-in-law, which is even more weird.
But don't worry! Regardless of the Lu Bujun represented by Qin Xu or the Zhen family represented by Zhen Jian, all they want is such a "relative" status between each other, and Zhen Jian revisited him in the name of a brother, and then Zhen Mi, who looked well-behaved, gave a farewell salute to his father Zhen Jian, and gave tea and soup to Qin Xu and Cai Yan. Zhen Jian looked a little lost, but after seeing that Qin Xu didn't know why he didn't force Zhen Mi to change his surname, he felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. Therefore, except for Zhen Jiang, who did not see Lu Bu's arrival and looked a little lost, on the whole, the relevant people maintained a warm, friendly and harmonious scene, but it also seemed that the guests and hosts were happy.
Qin someone not only got Luo Shen as a "righteous girl" this time, but also made a lot of money, and he was the biggest winner. However, to Qin Xu's slight surprise. Zhang Liao is just that, after all, if he wants to take action against Hebei in the next step, Zhang Liao, who has been stationed in the plains to recuperate, must have already gotten the news from other channels, and it is also Qin Xu's expectation to express something. But Cao Cao actually sent such a rich gift, which is a bit interesting.
For Cao Cao, the two-year contact coupled with the conclusion of history, coupled with the fact that he wanted to go to the Cao family to work on the big tree before, and wait for death to eat, Qin Xu thought that he knew this old brother too well.
Zhen Jian made it clear at Lu Bu's reception banquet that he, the head of the Zhen family, had made two preparations. Zhen Jian came to Qingzhou to meet Lu Bu, and Zhen Qian, the son of Zhen's family, also represented the Zhen family, but his destination was Xuchang. And the reason why Qin Xu came up with such a way to recognize the righteous girl was to tie the Zhen family to Lu Bujun's chariot on the one hand, at least to have a powerful arm when plotting Hebei, and on the other hand, the purpose was also to eliminate the possibility of the Zhen family cooperating with Cao Cao. It is conceivable that Cao Cao's dog temper is not in history after Zhuge Liang gave the woman's clothes, and he can still be beautiful, so he can wear Sima Yi who asked his subordinates if they fit well, although it is accurate that Cao Cao will definitely not turn his face with Qingzhou because of this "trivial matter", but if Cao Cao did not have any opinions and rushed to join Qin Xu's excitement, he would not believe it if he killed Qin Xu.
There is something extraordinary, it must be a demon...... (To be continued......)
