Chapter 179: Repentance
The door was closed, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat on both sides.
Liu Bei asked: "Do the two virtuous brothers know that Yuan Xianxin is here, what are the benefits for us?" β
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shook their heads.
"Yuan Shao begged for marriage, just for expediency!" Liu Bei said: "The concubines are competing for marriage, and the Yuan family can't afford to lose face. A certain is a pastor in Xuzhou, and Zhen Yi is not in Cai County. Yuan Shao thought that in exchange for Zhen Mi's daughter, Yuan Xianxin would gladly agree! How do you know how deep his affection for Zhen Mi is? β
"What a Yuan Shao, but he treats his brother's daughter as a commodity." Guan Yu has always been calm, and when he heard this, he also showed anger.
"Yuan Xianxin robbed Zhen Mi, I thought that Yuan Shao would be furious, and he could take the opportunity to recruit him." Liu Bei said: "Yuan Shao didn't dig into a certain mistake, but sent someone to Cai Ying to marry Zhen Mi!" β
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned.
Zhang Fei asked: "Zhen Mi is with Yuan Xianxin, how can Shang Cai still have a Zhen Mi?" β
"Yuan Shao said yes, there is." Liu Bei said: "In this way, Yuan Xianxin is no longer guilty, and he will return to Hebei in the near future. β
"Xuzhou is connected to Qingzhou in the north, the sea in the east, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the west!" Liu Bei said: "Qingzhou is the place where Yuan Tan governs. When Kong Rong was defeated, Yuan Tan could have taken charge of the whole army alone. Cao Cao broke the solidity, if he wanted to go north, he must first go east, and Xuzhou bore the brunt. β
"Could it be that the marriage is abandoned?" Zhang Fei asked.
"Let's look at Yuan Xianxin's meaning." Liu Bei said: "If he agrees, the marriage can be counted." If he doesn't allow it, he has no choice but to give up! β
"Brother can't help but think too much about Yuan Xianxin!" Zhang Fei was angry: "This son has broken Zhang Yan and given a certain 3,000 soldiers and horses ......"
"Virtue is not to be falsely spoken." Seeing that Liu Bei's face was not good, Guan Yu hurriedly stopped him.
Although he no longer spoke, Zhang Fei's indignant expression did not retreat.
Yuan Xu's residence.
On the table is a scroll left by Zhang Fei.
In the painting, the lady smiles at the corner of her mouth and twists a flower.
The eyes are like cold stars, the lips are shining like cherries, the body is graceful, the lines are soft, if you are born in the world, you can definitely call it a country and a city.
Zhang Fei was rough, and he could make such a painting, which really surprised Yuan Xu.
Appreciating the paintings, Yuan Xu was amazed.
Ma Fei said on the side: "Zhang Fei is as black as the bottom of a pot, vulgar as a butcher, and his ten fingers are like a mallet, but I don't believe that he can make any good paintings." β
"Don't judge people by their appearance." Yuan Xu said: "Zhang Fei may exaggerate with words, but Liu Bei said that the painting was made by him, so there will be no fake." β
"Although he lives here temporarily, it is too much for the prince to praise Liu Bei." Ma Fei said: "Seeing Liu Bei's eyes flickering, he is not a sincere person. β
Yuan Xu smiled slightly, but did not speak.
At that time, Liu Bei defected to Tao Qian, and took advantage of Tao Qian's attack by Cao Cao to seize Xuzhou from him.
It is even rumored that it was given by Tao Qian.
Liu Bei not only did not receive any condemnation, but fell into a good reputation for being virtuous.
LΓΌ Bu seized Xuzhou, and Liu Bei was forced to defect to Cao Cao.
Abducted soldiers and horses from Cao Cao's command, and then occupied Xuzhou.
He's certainly not a sincere man!
How can you be honest or not?
If Liu Bei was just a generous elder, Yuan Xu felt that he was nothing to remarkable!
A person who is only good at lying cannot be admired and accomplished a feat!
Knowing when to tell the truth, when to tell lies, and when to reveal the truth is what makes Liu Bei special!
While admiring the painting, Ma Yi came to the door: "Son, Liu Yuanjun is invited." β
Ma Fei said: "Liu Bei's so-called urgent matter, could it be that it has been properly handled? β
"The most important thing is to tell Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to be more considerate of me."
Yuan Xu instructed Ma Yi: "Inform the person who came, and go here!" β
Without delay, Yuan Xu led Ma Fei and Ma Yi to Liu Bei's residence.
Entering the back garden under the guidance of the guards, Yuan Xu saw two low tables set up in the pavilion in the garden, and Liu Bei was already waiting under the pavilion.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not present, they should have been sent by Liu Bei on business.
Before arriving at the pavilion, Liu Bei had already bowed his hand to Yuan Xu and said, "I've been waiting for a long time!" β
Yuan Xu replied: "The envoy didn't dare to delay the summoning, I don't want to be too late, don't blame me!" β
Liu Bei retreated and said, "I'm too anxious to come early. Please! β
"Envoy, please!"
On the pavilion, the two sat down.
Ma Fei and Ma Yi stood under the pavilion.
Meat and preserved fruits were already on the table.
Liu Bei said apologetically: "After drinking and eating for a long time, it's already cold." β
Yuan Xu said: "Seeing the summer, it is even more refreshing to be cold. β
"Please come to Xianxin, but you have something to ask." Liu Bei scooped out the turbid wine from the wooden barrel next to the table and filled the wine bottle.
"If you have something to say, you can just speak, but you don't dare to ask for advice." Yuan Xu arched his hand and said.
"Pour the wine!" Liu Bei gestured.
Yuan Xu poured wine into the bottle as he said.
"Xianxin, please!" Liu Bei picked up the wine bottle.
"Envoy, please!"
"Xianxin came to Xuzhou that day and claimed to have caused a big disaster." Putting down the wine bottle, Liu Bei said, "I don't know what the trouble is? β
"Don't hide it!" Yuan Xu said: "The second brother intended to take a wife who was engaged, and he robbed ...... in the middle of the road."
"But ......" Liu Bei looked puzzled: "When Yuan Gong proposed to a certain person, he did not say that he was obviously engaged. β
Yuan Xu didn't answer, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Gazing at each other with him, Liu Bei asked, "Why is Xianxin smiling and silent?" β
"So that you already know, why do you ask again?"
Liu Bei laughed: "I have indeed heard of it, but I don't know what is going on, so I asked." β
"Go to Xuzhou, bring Zhen Ji, and let you know."
"Please come and talk about it." Liu Bei said: "A man's husband, three wives and four concubines are also reasonable, but I don't know what Xianxin's plans are?" β
Looking at Liu Bei, Yuan Xu did not speak.
He knew that Liu Bei hadn't finished speaking.
"I don't know that Xianxin and Zhen Yi's daughter have a marriage contract!" Liu Bei then changed his words: "If you know, you will never allow this matter!" β
"Do you want to repent of your marriage?" Yuan Xu asked.
Liu Bei lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what Xianxin means? β
"So that the king's mind, a certain has been fully understood! A certain mind, so that you should have an experience! β
"I don't know whether to say it or not." A flash of disappointment flashed on Liu Bei's face, and he immediately recovered as before: "As a man, it is common sense to have three wives and four concubines, so why bother ......"
"Make the gentleman's affection and righteousness all in a certain heart!" Yuan Xu stood up and saluted, interrupting Liu Bei.
The corners of his mouth floated with a touch of helplessness, Liu Bei picked up the wine bottle and said, "Xianxin, drink!" β
Yecheng, where Mrs. Zhang lived.
The doctor was happy to diagnose Mrs. Zhang, and Yuan Shao was much more diligent when he came here.
Every once in a while, he would go on a walk, and even if he didn't come, he would let people deliver some daily necessities.
After many years of cold treatment, just because of the fetus in her womb, Mrs. Zhang was favored again.
