In the past, Yuan Mai's hatred for the Liu family was not very deep, and there was no idea of "killing his mother's hatred, not sharing the sky", in addition to the reason why his biological mother was still young and ignorant of the world, the more important reason was that the previous Yuan Mai was timid and cowardly from the bones.

And now Yuan Mai looked at Liu who was sitting high on it, and suddenly a light of hatred flashed in his subconscious, which was some involuntary subconscious, like a movie clip, flying through his mind......

It was she, it was she who was ruthless, killed her mother, and made her young self lose her mother's love......

It was she who treated herself harshly and had no delicious supplements and nutrients since she was a child, which caused her to be weak......

It was she who treated herself ruthlessly, and never sought a doctor to treat her in time for major and minor illnesses, causing her to often suffer from cold and headaches, so that her body deteriorated......

It was she who played right and wrong in front of Yuan Shao, slandered herself, and made herself not only lose her mother's love, but also not feel her father's love......

And she is now making things difficult for herself, deliberately making herself ugly in front of the cultural relics staff......

"If you don't avenge this revenge, how can you match Yuan Mai's body? How can you be worthy of the mother who was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to him? Mrs. Liu, you vicious woman, as long as I Yuan Mai has a good future, I will definitely let you die without a place to be buried! ”

Involuntarily, Yuan Mai secretly swore a poisonous oath in his heart.

This is just a matter of fingers, after a moment of trance, Yuan Mai immediately calmed down from the past like a cloud of smoke, the top priority is to find a seat to enter the feast first, otherwise he can only leave in disgrace.

Yuan Shao is very fond of Liu, it is already a well-known thing, and Liu's intention to support his son Yuan Shang to inherit Yuan Shao's title is also a well-known thing, although Yuan Shao did not say whether it was or not, but smart people can also speculate, in fact, Yuan Shao also hopes that Yuan Shang will inherit his position in private.

Mrs. Liu is throwing out such a sentence now, the meaning has been made clear, I want to see which of you dares to stand on the opposite side of me with this kid?

His eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the banquet, and Yuan Mai hoped to find someone who would come forward and relieve him.

Yuan Tan turned the tea bowl in his hand, as if he was admiring a work of art, as if Yuan Mai, who was standing in the center of the feast, did not regard this cowardly guy as his brother at all; The senior cadre beside him stroked his beard and rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, but he didn't mean to invite Yuan Mai to come and sit.

As for Yuan Shang, from time to time, he talked with the neighboring judges and Feng Ji, and laughed constantly. Yuan Xi had a look of shame on his face, and he didn't dare to look up at Yuan Mai's gaze, and quietly peeled the green orange in his hand with his head down.

Of course, in Yuan Mai's heart, he didn't expect any of these four people to stand up and invite him.

Below the Yuan family, the civil and military staff sat opposite each other on the left and right, with the military generals on the left and the civil officials on the right. At the front, each has six tables leading the way, and behind each table is a person kneeling.

However, what made Yuan Mai feel strange was that on the side of the military general's seat, the fourth of the six cases in the front was empty, obviously the master had not yet taken his seat, whose was it? Long overdue, such a big shelf?

Being able to sit at the front of the civil and military staff must be the heaviest person under Yuan Shao, who often goes in and out of the governor's mansion, and with the subconscious in his body, Yuan Mai can recognize them one by one.

The first arrogant general of the military general seat is Chun Yuqiong, although the banquet has not yet opened, he can no longer bear the addiction to alcohol, and from time to time he takes a few sips of the wine glass, because he has known Yuan Shao early, Yuan Shao does not blame him. In terms of record and ability, Yuan Shao's subordinates are definitely not ranked first, but he easily sat on the first position of the military general by virtue of his qualifications, and he didn't want to take care of the idle chores of the Yuan family, just thinking about how to get drunk today.

The military general below Chun Yuqiong, with wide shoulders and a wide body, is nine feet tall, and has a majestic appearance, he is the number one military general under Yuan Shao, known as Yan Liang, the head of the "Hebei Four Court Pillars". The one below Yan Liang has a figure very similar to him, but his face is much darker, slender and a bit like a horse's face, and he is as famous as Yan Liang.

The two were facing each other, discussing who would win and who would lose in the battle between Cao Ying and Lu Bu that was about to break out, and they didn't mean to invite Yuan Mai to come and sit. In their hearts, they are one of the top generals of the Yuan Group anyway, no matter who inherits Yuan Shao's position in the future, they must also rely on themselves to compete for the world, and they can't get involved.

The seat below Wen Chou is the empty one, and then sitting down is Zhang He, about thirty years old, with fair skin, and no beard, at first glance, a bit of a civil official strategist, people can't imagine that this is also one of the "Hebei Four Court Pillars" with Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

At that moment, Zhang He's demeanor filled Yuan Mai's heart with a trace of expectation, of course, it was just a hint, when Yuan Mai's eyes fell on him, Zhang He's body moved slightly, but then sighed again, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Zhang He is a cautious and careful person, and he will definitely not rashly offend the Liu family and son, as well as the group they support behind them. However, I am very grateful that he can have this heart. ”

Yuan Mai sighed in his heart, and then took his eyes off Zhang He, lest he feel embarrassed.

The red-faced general below Zhang He is Gao Lan, he has been a little closer to the Liu Group recently, and he will definitely not feel uncomfortable at this time, seeing Yuan Mai looking at him, he pretended not to see it, and turned his head to talk to the generals behind him.

There are two rows of cases behind these six generals, ten in each row, and there are two people kneeling behind each one, a total of forty people, who are Han Meng, Lu Weihuang, Jiang Yiqu, Wei Yuanjin and other second- and third-rate generals, not to mention that they have no intention of inviting Yuan Mai to come and sit, even if they have this idea, there is no room for a third person to sit down and drink together.

On the opposite side of the general's banquet sat the civil officials, the first to sit was the judge, and below him was Feng Ji. These two people are the core of the Liu Group, and they are the backbone of the firm support for Yuan Shang to take over Yuan Shao's position, even if the sun comes out of the west, they will not invite Yuan Mai to come and sit down, and at this moment the two are staring at Yuan Mai with scrutinizing eyes. I don't understand why this usually cowardly and wooden fourth son, seems to be a different person today?

Below the two of them is Xu You, who is also a good drinker, and he is also secretly drinking at the moment, but unlike Chun Yuqiong's open-minded drinking, he dips his fingers into the wine glass, and then secretly licks and drinks when people are unprepared. Inviting Yuan to come and sit, Xu You thought that a fool would do that. The trial has been looking at himself unpleasantly recently, and Xu You doesn't want to offend the Liu family anymore.

Kneeling under Xu You is Guo Tu, who is the mastermind of Yuan Tan, sent by Yuan Shao, and has been following Yuan Tan to conquer Qingzhou in recent years, and is both a supporter of Yuan Tan and an opponent of the trial. At this moment, he was pondering whether to win over the fourth son of the Yuan family, but when he thought that Yuan Mai was just a cloth cloth, Guo Tu still decided to talk about it later.

Guo Tu's next place is Tian Feng, he is a person with a straight surname, after listening to Yuan Maicai's words, Tian Feng felt that it was very reasonable, and felt that Yuan Shao really shouldn't treat his son differently like this, and Liu shouldn't make it so difficult for Yuan Mai, so he decided to stand up and invite Yuan Mai to come over for a drink.

It's just that Tian Feng just moved his foot, and was dragged by Xun Chen behind him, saying that Yuan Hao tasted why this orange was so sour? Then he kept squeezing his eyebrows and eyes, signaling Tian Feng not to cause unnecessary trouble, Tian Feng struggled a few times, and finally did not stand up.

Tian Feng was kneeling down and was frustrated, he was chanting the tune in the "Book of Songs" at the moment, bowing his head and dipping his hand in water to write on the desk, and he also had no intention of inviting Yuan Mai.

Sitting behind the six strategists were a group of staff such as Xun Chen, Chen Lin, Xin Bi, and Wang Xiu, as well as the county guards from Hebei, Qingdao, and the three prefectures. The group of martial artists on the other side refused to come forward rashly, let alone these old fritters who had been in the officialdom for many years.

After glancing around, seeing that no one invited him, Yuan Mai felt both disappointed and humiliated.

That's it, that's it, a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who are wise and self-protective, are helpless one by one when the big thing is coming, but they are experts in the nest, no wonder most of you don't die well, and you die in the hands of Cao Ying, you are all to blame!

There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here. The world is so big, is there no place for me to stand?

After scolding sadly in his heart, Yuan Mai decided to leave, leave the feast, leave the state pastor's mansion, leave Yecheng, and look for new opportunities......

"Mai'er, come and sit on my mother's side."

Just when Yuan Mai was almost desperate, a gentle woman's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and when he looked up, he found that it was Yuan Shao's youngest concubine, Mrs. Zheng.

The Zheng family was originally married to Yuan Shao by Mrs. Liu as a matchmaker, and it stands to reason that they should have been in cahoots with the Liu family, but why did they do the opposite and go against the domineering head of the Yuan family? There's a reason for that.

Zheng's surname is Zheng Mingyu, his maiden home is Taiyuan County, he is twenty-five years old this year, and he was only seventeen years old when he married Yuan Shao as a concubine. Men like young and beautiful women, and Yuan Shao is no exception, the reason why he favored Liu Jiao and snubbed Zhang was because Liu Jiao was young and beautiful.

With the passage of time, Mrs. Liu could not escape the fate of old age, although she was scheming and good at greeting, but Yuan Shao's favor for him was not as good as before, but he was very fond of the young Zheng Yu.

This made Mrs. Liu furious, and often angrily scolded Zheng for being ungrateful, luring the wolf into the house herself, treating Zheng as a thorn in her side, and determined to get rid of her. The relationship between the two has taken a sharp turn for the worse in the past few years and has become incompatible.

However, because after Yuan Shao occupied the north, he coveted a comfortable life and rarely went on expeditions, which made the jealous Liu never find an opportunity to harm Zheng Yu.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mother!"

In desperation, Yuan Mai, as if grasping a life-saving straw when he was drowning, bowed to Zheng and prepared to go over and sit down. In any case, this is much more faceless than leaving with a disgraced face.

"Wait! Don't you understand the truth that men and women don't kiss? It's ridiculous for men and women to sit at the same table! ”
