Chapter 383: What's the Purpose?
Yuan Xu returned to Penglai, and Yuan Tan rushed to Yecheng in the starry night.
When he returned to the city, he did not delay for a moment, and immediately went to ask to see Yuan Shao.
Yuan's back house, Yuan Shao's study.
Sitting behind the table, Yuan Shao took a sip of the teacup, and said to Yuan Tan with a pleasant face: "I rushed back to Yecheng in the starry night, just to congratulate him, and you are very comforted by your father." ”
Standing respectfully, Yuan Tan said: "Xianxin defeated Guo Jia is the blessing of the Yuan family, and Cao Cao has been unable to look north for at least a year and a half. The Yuan family can take advantage of this to regain their strength and fight Cao Cao again the next day! The father took this opportunity to organize the marriage for Xianxin, which was sympathetic to the children. As an elder brother, the child should share the worries of the father. ”
"That's right." Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Leave the procurement preparations to you!" ”
"Thank you, father, for making it happen!"
Yuan Tan saw Yuan Shao and immediately went to see Mrs. Zhang.
Knowing that Yuan Xu was close to him, of course Mrs. Zhang would not slack off.
Mrs. Zhang's residence.
Yuan Tan sat in the room and arched his hand and said: "Xianxin is about to get married, congratulations to the mother of the Zhang family!" ”
Since Mrs. Zhang became a flat wife, Yuan Tan and others no longer call her "aunt".
Including Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, when they see her, they must also call their mothers.
As a biological mother, her son is about to get married, and Mrs. Zhang is of course happy in her heart.
She smiled slightly and said: "The eldest son has been tired of guarding Qingzhou, and returning to Yecheng for the sake of showing his guilt shows that the brotherhood is very strong." ”
"What the mother of the Zhang family said is that Xianxin and I have a deep affection, and he will get married, how can I, as a brother, not show anything?" Yuan Tan said: "I have already met my father, and the marriage will also be handled a little!" ”
"A brother is like a father. Xianxin is not very sensible, and he needs the support of the eldest son to behave in the world. ”
"Xianxin's southern expedition to the north rarely lost the war. Who in Hebei is not convinced? Yuan Tan said: "The mother of the Zhang family doesn't have to be too humble, this matter will be done beautifully." ”
Yuan Tan undertook the procurement and shared a lot for Yuan Shao. Mrs. Zhang was also very happy.
Of course, there are many people who are not happy.
Yuan Shang's residence.
Feng Ji sat in the house.
Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, who were sitting opposite him, had gloomy faces.
"We are waiting to be transferred away from Xianxin, but the eldest brother is back in Yecheng. How to dispose of it? Yuan Shang asked.
"The eldest brother returned, how do you know that it was not Xianxin's doing?" Yuan Xi said: "To go to Penglai, you must pass through Qingzhou. Xianxin can't return to Yecheng, so it's reasonable to invite the eldest brother to come? ”
"This is a strange matter, who can say safely?" Yuan Shang shook his head.
Feng Ji took over the conversation: "What the second prince said is not unreasonable, the fifth prince must pass through Qingzhou to go to Penglaicha. The fifth son has not yet arrived, and the eldest son has returned, and there must be a reason for it! ”
"What to do?" Yuan Shang asked.
"The two sons don't need to be anxious, and see how the eldest son is."
Although Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang felt that it was inappropriate, they did not say much.
At this point, it was useless for them to say anything.
The only way is to spy on Yuan Tan. According to his actions, the next step will be calculated.
In the next few days, Yuan Tan led people to buy the things Yuan Xu needed to get married in the city, and there was nothing abnormal.
The more calm he became, the more Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang felt restless, not knowing what he was doing.
Yuan Tan spent all day in the market, and he was assigned by Yuan Shao.
The people who secretly probed Yuan Kang's whereabouts were much more restrained than before.
After returning to Yecheng for more than ten days, Yuan Tan was doing shopping every day, and he didn't seem to pay attention to other things at all.
Purchase a lot of silk rose. handed over to the weaving workshop to cut new clothes for Yuan Xu and Zhen Mi.
Watching the servants and maids carrying the silk, Yuan Tan heard a voice behind him: "Eldest brother! ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning.
He didn't have to look back to know who was coming.
The person who spoke was none other than Yuan Shang.
Turning his head to look at Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan asked, "Why is Xianfu here?" ”
Bow your hand. Yuan Shang said: "The eldest brother returned to Yecheng and worked hard for Xianxin's marriage. Cao Cao has returned to Xuchang, and there is no war in Hebei for the time being. My brother has nothing to do all day and feels uneasy. I want to help too. ”
Yuan Tan said lightly: "This matter is entrusted by my father to a certain person, and a certain person will do it wholeheartedly." If Xianfu is fine. Ask your father for some messengers. In Yecheng, there will be a place for prominence! ”
"That's what the eldest brother said!" Yuan Tan's words were thorny. Yuan Shang said with a smile: "The silk and cloth purchased by the eldest brother should be from Jiangdong. ”
"How did Xianfu know?" Yuan Tan procured silk from Jiangdong, and Yuan Shang's words made him feel a little surprised.
"It's not hard to tell the silk." Yuan Shang said: "Those who are famous all over the world are nothing more than the treasures of Jiangdong and Shu. Shubao is gorgeous, Jiangdong splendid is simple and plain, and people don't like gorgeous things in order to show their hearts. It's the younger brother who guessed that this is Jiangdong silk! ”
"Xianfu has a good eye, and he also has a deep understanding of Xianxin." Yuan Tan said: "A certain is exactly what he likes!" ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Tan seemed to think of something, and asked Yuan Shang: "I have been in Yecheng for many days, why don't you see Xianyong?" ”
"The Yuan family has four younger brothers, Xianyong, and eighth brothers, Xianyong." Yuan Shang said: "I don't know what the eldest brother asked, which brother is it?" ”
"I visited the Zhang family's mother earlier, and I have already met the eighth brother." Yuan Tan said: "Of course it's the fourth brother. ”
"The fourth brother likes to get along with rangers and idlers, and the eldest brother asks him what he does?" Yuan Shang's face was calm, and when he mentioned Yuan Kang, he seemed to be completely unaware, but asked Yuan Tan rhetorically.
"It is precisely because Xianyong is kind to idlers and rangers that he is looking for him." Yuan Tan said: "To act in the market, you must show your mediocrity. ”
"I haven't seen Xianyong for many days, and I don't know where to go!" Yuan Shang shook his head and sighed: "It's okay if you don't have a form, Xianxin is about to get married, but he, as a brother, is still running around, it really doesn't make sense!" ”
"Xianyong and the third brother are kind, and the third brother should say more about him."
"That's what the eldest brother said!" Yuan Shang responded, and then said: "The eldest brother is here, and he specially came to ask if there is anything that needs to be helped, if there is nothing to do, the younger brother will retire first!" ”
Yuan Tan didn't keep him, and arched his hand to say goodbye to him.
mentioned Yuan Kang in front of Yuan Shang, just to see how he reacted.
Seeing that he was not a little uneasy, Yuan Tan frowned.
Yuan Xu asked Yuan Kang to be rescued from prison, and Yuan Shang, who had imprisoned him, showed that he didn't know it, which shows that he doesn't attach much importance to brotherhood for a long time.
Otherwise, you will never be surprised in front of Yuan Tan!
"Hurry up." Greeting the servants and maids carrying the silk silk, Yuan Tan's face was much worse than before.
Saying goodbye to Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang's face was also not good.
He could be sure that Yuan Tan had met Yuan Xu.
The prison is heavily guarded, and those who are kind to Yuan Kang are impossible to save people cleanly.
This matter must have been done by Yuan Xu, and it was impossible for Yuan Tan not to know about it.
Asking about this matter in person, Yuan Tan must have a purpose.
What is his purpose? (To be continued.) )
