Chapter 258: The Gift of the Son-in-law

In two days it will be the New Year.

is the same as the heroes everywhere, the Yuan family is going to sacrifice to the sky during the Spring Festival.

According to the old practice, when worshipping the sky, the eldest son Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao will be the first to bow to their ancestors, and then Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

Yuan Xu, who was born as a concubine, is of course ranked after the sons-in-law.

The Yuan family prepared a lot of bamboo.

The bamboo is sawn into small pieces more than an inch long, and the bamboo knots are selected that are small but very old.

Several servants loaded the small bamboo knots into baskets and carried them to the main entrance of the front yard.

There are several copper stoves outside the main entrance.

Compared to ordinary copper furnaces, they are larger.

The charcoal burning in the copper furnace is booming.

The people of Yecheng gathered outside Yuan's house, smiling and waiting for the firecrackers to be set off.

Yuan Shao got up early in the morning, ordered all his subordinates and heirs to wait in the front hall, and when the hour came, he went to the main gate to have fun with the people.

The festival is arranged after the firecrackers.

As soon as Yuan Xu got up in the morning, someone came to inform him that he wanted to dress up and go out of the house with Yuan Shao.

To worship the ancestors, of course, you can't wear armor.

Madame Zhang instructed the maid to bring him a brand-new brocade robe.

Yuan Xu is not short of clothes, of course he has to wear them when Mrs. Zhang sends them.

The maid helped Yuan Xu change into his clothes.

The bright red brocade robe was worn on his body, and his lips were red and white, and his face was like a bright moon.

"Childe!" Dressed neatly, the maid said to Yuan Xu: "Don't make Yuan Gong wait too long. ”

"Got it!" Yuan Xu responded.

Ma Yi and Ma Fei were already waiting outside the door.

will accompany Yuan Xu to worship his ancestors, and the two of them did not wear armor, and they were also wearing brocade clothes. A long sword hangs from his waist.

"Have the people who went to Yanjin and Hakuba already been dispatched?" Seeing Ma Fei, Yuan Xu asked in a low voice.

"I've already gone." Ma Fei responded: "After the sacrifice to the sky." A certain immediately rushed to Xuchang. ”

Yuan Xu didn't say anything more and led them to the front hall.

It didn't take a few steps. A guard came in front of him.

When Yuan Xu approached, the guard bowed down and saluted: "Duke Yuan has an order, today to sacrifice to the sky, the fifth prince and the eldest son and others are in the same column!" ”

Yuan Xu was stunned.

This Yuan family's sacrifice to the sky was his first participation in the late Han Dynasty.

The residual memory in his mind told him that the Yuan family had a clear distinction between the concubines and the concubines, and if the concubines stood in the wrong place, the disasters they would cause would definitely not be small.

"It's no joke!" Suspicious, Yuan Xu said.

"Don't dare to joke with Childe." The guard said: "Yuan Gong personally passed the order. Childe and the eldest son and others worship the sky together! ”

"Can you tell me why?" Yuan Xu still couldn't believe it.

The concubine is on the same list as the concubine, and Yuan Shao undoubtedly puts him in the same position as the concubine.

He just couldn't understand why Yuan Shao did this!

"Yuan Gong didn't say it!"

"There is labor!" Yuan Xu arched his hand.

The guard left, and Ma Fei whispered, "What's going on?" Childe should be cautious......"

"Let's go!" Yuan Xu thought for a while, and beckoned Ma Fei and Ma Yi to the front hall.

The subordinates of Hebei waited outside the front hall door early, Yuan Xu was present, and many people greeted him.

Whether they know each other or not, Yuan Xu gave them a respectful return salute, which was appreciated by everyone.

"Manifest." He was about to walk to the place where the concubines were standing. Two people came up to me.

It was Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang who came.

"Father has decreed that he should be on an equal footing with me." Yuan Shang said with a faint smile: "Why are you still going to the side of the concubine?" ”

"Didn't Xianxin receive his father's order?" Yuan Xi said coldly: "Just a concubine, he actually flew on the branch and made a phoenix!" ”

"Second brother!" Yuan Shang interrupted Yuan Xu: "Father's arrangement must have a deep meaning. As the Son of Man, we only have to obey it. ”

Yuan Xi was silent.

Yuan Xu said: "There are two brothers who are worried. The younger brother just went to see Xianyong. As for where you stand, obey your father. ”

"I thought that Xianxin was going to be in the same column as my concubine, and I was afraid that I would depreciate my identity. I don't mean anything else! Yuan Shang said: "Xianxin is known, please take care of yourself!" ”

Surrendered. Yuan Xu walked to the side of the concubine.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang just wanted to embarrass him.

Especially Yuan Xi's sentence of flying on the branches to make a phoenix is clearly reminding Yuan Xu. He's just a concubine!

Yuan Xu didn't care about them, and went straight to Yuan Mai, who was held by the maid.

When the concubines saw him coming, they saluted one after another.

Yuan Kang saluted much more respectfully than before.

Yuan Xu is in the same column as his son-in-law, and his identity is different from them, Yuan Kang is secretly glad that he is loyal to the right person!

Returning the salute to the brothers, Yuan Xu smiled and said: "The brothers are like this, Xu is very frightened. ”

"My father often told us that we should take the fifth brother as a role model." A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy said, "If the fifth brother fights again, can he bring the younger brother with him?" ”

The young man who spoke was Yuan Peng, the sixth son of the Yuan family.

Rubbing his head, Yuan Xu said: "When Xianyang is the same height as the lance, a certain self will lead you to make contributions on the battlefield!" ”

"The fifth brother refuses, just say it." Yuan Peng pursed his lips, his face full of displeasure.

After making eye contact with Yuan Kang, Yuan Xu touched the head of his seventh brother Yuan Yi again, and walked towards Yuan Mai, who was held by the maid.

"A hug!" Taking Yuan Mai from the maid's arms, Yuan Xu gently pinched his little face.

was picked up by Yuan Xu, and Yuan Mai grinned and smiled innocently.

"The eighth prince is really close to the fifth prince." The maid said, "The slave and maid hold it all day long, and they don't see how to show a smile." As soon as the fifth son hugged him, he smiled. ”

"Brothers, or not." Yuan Xu smiled: "Brother hugs, he should laugh out loud." ”

"Yuan Gong has arrived!" A long voice came into Yuan Xu's ears.

Yuan Shao, accompanied by judges, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others, walked to the front hall.

Handing Yuan Mai back to the maid, Yuan Xu walked towards Yuan Tan and the others.

His actions were seen by Yuan Shao, who came here.

Seeing him holding Yuan Mai, Yuan Shao felt a little more satisfied in his heart.

The sister-in-law of the Yuan family competes for favor, and the concubine is also self-defeating and overwhelmed.

loves Yuan Mai, just because he is the youngest, pure as a drop of water, and has not been impregnated by the complicated power struggle.

When Yuan Xu returned to Yecheng, he was not unhappy because of his preference for Yuan Mai, but took the initiative to hug him.

Not only can he lead the army to conquer, but he is also a brother and brother in the family, and Yuan Shao praises this son more and more.

Yuan Shao walked to the front hall, and the Hebei subordinates who greeted him saluted him one after another.

While walking, Yuan Shao bowed to everyone in return.

Passing by Yuan Tan and the others, he deliberately glanced at Yuan Xu more.

"It's the New Year, and there are two things to inform you!" When he arrived at the door, Yuan Shao said to everyone: "First, after the beginning of spring, my Yuan family will send the army south to crusade against the Han thief Cao Cao!" ”

"Yuan Gong is mighty!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"Second!" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Xu: "The fifth son has always been respectful. He has been known for his exploits but has not been rewarded. A certain person decided to marry the bride with the gift of his son-in-law, what do you think? (To be continued.) )
