Chapter Twenty-Three: The Future Uncle of the Kingdom
The moon is shining brightly, and the stamens are fragrant.
Yuan Mai and Zhen Mi siblings sat opposite each other around the stone table, listening to Zhen Yao tell her sister's story, and the little maid Luzhu stood behind Zhen Mi and waited.
At that moment, Zhen Yao told Yuan Mai the story of his sister:
During the period when Zhen Mi's mother was pregnant for ten months and was about to give birth to her, she often had the same dream, and many times when she had just fallen asleep, she dreamed that someone was holding a "jade clothes" and covering her body. After Zhen's mother told her family about this dream, it made the Zhen family feel very surprised.
Later, when Zhen Mi was six or seven years old, a famous scholar named Liu Liang passed by the gate of Zhen's house. was invited by Zhen's father into the house and met several children in the family.
After Liu Liang saw the three boys and five girls of the Zhen family, he did not comment on the others, but pointed to the youngest "Zhen Mi" and said that this girl will be rich and noble in the future. Mother of the world.
By the time Zhen Mi was seven or eight years old, she could already read and write, and her writing was no less than that of several brothers.
Later, when Zhen Mi was twelve or thirteen years old, Jizhou was in chaos, the victims were displaced, and they were hungry. The Zhen family can be regarded as a wealthy party, and there is a lot of food, so Zhen Mi persuaded her mother to open a warehouse to help the victims.
She said, "The husband is not guilty of his crimes", so many people in the world have no food to eat, we are hoarding so much food, in case they are anxious, I am afraid that it will backfire and rob our family.
The people of the Zhen family listened to Zhen Mi's words and felt that it was very reasonable, so they opened a warehouse to help the victims. As a result, the local people in Jizhou know that the "Ah Mi" girl has a bodhisattva-like heart.
In terms of treating his family, Zhen Mi is also kind-hearted, his second brother Zhen Yan died a few years ago, leaving orphans and widows and children, and often suffering from the white eyes of his mother-in-law at home.
For this reason, Zhen Mi advised her mother many times to treat her daughter-in-law well, so as not to make others laugh at the Zhen family's ruthlessness and unrighteousness. After Zhen Mi's painstaking persuasion, Zhen's mother repented, and since then she has treated Zhen Yan's widow well, which has been passed down as a beautiful talk in the county.
"Ah Mi, how can my brother praise me so perfectly, even if it's your own sister, you can't smear gold on my face like this!"
After listening to the second brother's words, Zhen Mi bit her lip, smiled and said modestly, being praised by her brother like this, she suddenly realized that she had done so many praiseworthy good deeds.
About these stories about Zhen Mi, Yuan Mai also saw them on the Internet before he crossed over. At this moment, hearing it again from Zhen Yao's mouth, it must be that the record in this history book is even more correct.
The love for Zhen Mi in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, thinking that such a talented and beautiful beauty is indeed outstanding, and what is even more rare is that Zhen Mi also has a kind heart, if she can make achievements in the future, and even reign in the world, Zhen Mi should be the best candidate for the world!
"What the third brother said is true, I have also heard of these things, but I just didn't know each other."
Yuan Mai smiled, picked up the wine glass and saluted Zhen Yao, while echoing and praising Zhen Mi. In order to shorten the distance between himself and the Zhen brothers and sisters, Yuan Mai's address to Zhen Yao also followed Zhen Mi and shouted "third brother".
After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Zhen Mi's face was even more shy, and he whispered that the two of you will make fun of others, and if you talk about me, I will hide the wine jar and see what you drink.
"That's unacceptable, Xianyong and I hit it off at first sight, so we have to get drunk and rest. Brother doesn't talk about you! ”
Listening to his sister's words, Zhen Yao was startled, hurriedly hugged the wine jar in his arms, and no longer dared to let Zhen Mi pour wine, so he changed the topic with Yuan Mai and talked about the trend of the world.
Yuan Mai sat opposite Zhen Yao, drinking wine, while listening to Zhen Yao's discussion of the general trend of the world, from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, to Liu Zhang in Yizhou, to Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and then to Cao Ying in the Central Plains, all the princes in the world, Zhen Yao actually knew a lot, and he also had his own unique views on their weaknesses and advantages.
This made Yuan Mai surprised, and even more felt that Zhen Yao was a talent, and such a talent was really tyrannical if he didn't win over to work for himself!
However, there is one thing that makes Yuan Mai puzzled, according to Zhen Yao's conversation and knowledge, he is really not an ordinary character. And in history, in the near future, he will become Cao Pi's brother-in-law, and his identity is even more extraordinary, why did such a person not leave his own mark in the history books?
Yuan Mai's gaze turned and fell on the pigeons in the pavilion, and the question that had just been haunting his heart suddenly jumped out, and he said in his heart, could it be that Zhen Yao really played the role of Dai Li during the Republic of China? There are spies and killers under his hands, engaged in espionage and assassination, and he has been hiding in the shadows so much that there is no record of him in the pen of the historian?
Thinking about Zhen Yao's high-minded talk just now, almost all of the major events in the thirteen states of the world have heard of it. In this era when communication is not developed, it is almost impossible to know so much if there are no spies under your command!
Yuan Mai put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up suddenly, reached out and caught a pigeon from the pavilion, and looked at it in front of him pretendedly: "Brother Chengyi, I'm afraid this pigeon is not an ordinary pigeon, right?" ”
Zhen Yao was first taken aback by Yuan Mai's actions, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hehe...... Xianyong, you are really as wise as a torch, I didn't expect that I was a little careless, and I didn't hide it from your eyes. Well, I'll tell you what I've done over the years......"
"Listen up!"
Immediately about to get the answer, Yuan Mai was satisfied and put the pigeon back into the trunk. He returned to Zhen Yao and sat down again, raising his glass and drinking.
It turned out that Zhen Yao had been fond of ranger sword fighting since he was a teenager, so he made friends with many people in the rivers and lakes. Because he is righteous and bold, these people look to him as the first horse.
Later, the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, the princes of the world rose together, and the land of Kyushu suddenly became war-torn. These friends of Zhen Yao traveled north and south, and often passed on what they saw and heard to Zhen Yao in various places.
Over time, Zhen Yao had an idea to form his own spy system.
At first, Zhen Yao had this idea, just to ensure that the Zhen family's business was unimpeded. Their Zhen family has been in business for several generations, the business scale is quite large, and the goods often travel to various places, with such an espionage system, the risk loss can be minimized.
Later, the world was in turmoil, and these ranger spies sent out by Zhen Yao not only spied on the local security situation, but also hunted military intelligence by the way, and transmitted the information to Zhen Yao in a steady stream, which is why Zhen Yao knew everything about the world's major events just now.
The reason why Zhen Yao is so happy to spy on intelligence in various places and invests a lot of financial and material resources is that in addition to ensuring the smooth flow of the Zhen family's business, he also hopes to be reused by the Yuan Group and make a difference in his career.
It's a pity that he repeatedly went to find the judge, Xu You and others, and tactfully conveyed that he could get a steady stream of information in his hands, hoping to exchange it for a higher official position, but he was scorned and refused.
In the eyes of the judges, Xu You and others, the Yuan Group has its own spy system, and there is no need for a non-governmental organization like Zhen Yao, and it has become nonsense to exchange intelligence for official positions.
"Haha...... God help me! ”
Hearing Zhen Yao finish telling the ins and outs of the matter, Yuan Mai almost couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "He will judge the match, Xu Yu doesn't want it, I Yuan Mai wants it!" ”
Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and taking precautions can win a victory thousands of miles away, he now has a small-scale army in his hands, and Zhen Yao's spy system is not his own "timely rain"!
Seeing that Yuan Mai was interested in his spy unit, Zhen Yao was happy, he had worked hard for seven or eight years to have such a spy team with footprints all over the thirteen states in the world and nearly 100 people, and now he finally had the opportunity to come in handy.
"Hey...... Of course, if you want my information, the fourth son of the Yuan family, of course, but what benefits can I get? Zhen Yao asked jokingly while buying wine for Yuan.
In fact, he doesn't care so much about what he can get, the wealth of their Zhen family is definitely the richest party, and for the official, Zhen Yao is not so eager, he just wants to prove that his talent in espionage can bring huge benefits to those who value him.
Yuan Mai blinked his eyes, thought about it, and replied with great ambition: "He said that if I can dominate one side, Ah Mi will be the master of **, and you will be my uncle!" ”
