Zhen originally wanted to come forward to see if he was injured, but at this time, people were so embarrassed, so they had to agree and take the maids back to the backyard.

Yuan Xi turned his face and smiled: "Wu'er is a good wife, now that the Wu family has passed away, Xi should straighten Wu'er, and this time I came to my uncle's house, and there is also a reason to tell him about it." ”

Zhen Yao suddenly showed a smile on his face, he was unwilling to marry Yuan Xi with his fifth sister, the Zhen family is a rich man, how can he be willing to be a concubine.

It's just that Zhongshan was under the rule of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao was in full swing at that time, and he was still under Yuan Shao, so he didn't dare to resist.

After all, the family is a big business, and one carelessness is a disaster.

Now that it's okay, Yuan Xi took the initiative to put forward the matter of rectification, so that the Zhen family's face was saved, and when he looked at Yuan Xi again, his eyes were much warmer.

The group came to the main hall and sat down, and Zhen Yao realized that there was a veiled woman who was following Yuan Xi and did not follow her sister to the backyard.

When Yuan Xi saw his gaze, how could he not know what he was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "This is the Hua family, the heroine recruited by Xi, and after Wu'er is straightened, Xi will accept her as a side room." ”

Yuan Xi naturally couldn't take a concubine at this time, it was the same thing to say it to Wei Yan, but he really didn't touch Mulan, and even the Zhen family didn't touch it.

It's not that I don't want to, but the ancients wanted to keep filial piety, Yuan Shaocai died less than a year ago, and he couldn't wait to marry a wife and concubine, and his reputation could immediately stink on the street.

The ancients kept filial piety for three years, but it was not just lip service, not only could there be no sexual affairs, but also could not have entertainment activities, otherwise it would be unfilial.

Fortunately, it is also fast, the Han Dynasty is twenty-five months of filial piety, not counting the leap month, Yuan Shao died in May of the seventh year of Jian'an, and it is now the end of February of the eighth year of Jian'an.

In a little more than a year, he will be able to taste the taste of Roselle and the immortals, which will make him hungry to death these days.

"Uncle, this is Mr. Xu Yuanzhi of Yingchuan, the military advisor invited by Xi, this is Yiyang Wei Wenchang, Xi's general."

Guests come to the door to naturally introduce, Zhen Yao is not an uninformed person, although Xu Shu is famous in Jingzhou, but the Zhen family is a businessman, and there are many subordinates who go south and north, so they have naturally heard of Xu Shu's name.

Moreover, Xu Shu is a native of Henan, and he went to Jingzhou when he was a friend in his youth, and this kind of person in the Han Dynasty was admired by everyone.

The law says that a murderer dies, but all Han officials turned a blind eye to those who killed people in anger for their family and friends.

Even if he was caught on the spot, he was secretly let go, the Han people in this era were fierce, from the emperor to the grass people, they all admired this kind of person, and only then did they have the domineering spirit of a Han and a five.

Zhen Yao immediately got up and said, "It's actually Yingchuan righteous man in person, Yao's eyes are clumsy, and he hopes to forgive his sins!" ”

Xu Shu got up and returned the salute, making enough gestures that he was Yuan Xi's subordinate, and then Zhen Yao greeted Wei Yan, politely, too, Wei Yan's reputation at this time was not obvious, which was normal.

After sitting down, Zhen Yao looked at Yuan Xi and said, "My sister-in-law seems to have gained a lot from this trip south!" I don't know what to do, but can you tell me about it? ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Uncle said that he laughed, the family doesn't have to hide it, Xi came over this time, there is indeed one more thing, I want to ask the Yue family to support it, Xi wants to train a strong army to wait for the time." ”

"Training!"

As soon as Zhen Yao thought about it, he immediately understood what he meant.

This is to start anew, and he doesn't want to be Yuan Shang's vassal, so he was overjoyed and said: "My sister-in-law has this ambition, and I will give strong support to my brother, and the Zhen family can currently provide 2,000 war horses, 3,000 sets of armor, and 100,000 quintals of grain and grass." ”

Yuan Xi was overjoyed, grabbed his hand and shook it and said: "Thank you Uncle Dingli, Xi will never forget the love of the Yue family today." ”

Zhen Yao was full of smiles, and said with a smile: "Actually, my brother wanted to persuade you to be self-reliant, but I was afraid that your brotherhood would be ruined, and I was not afraid to say ugly things for my brother. ”

These words can be said to be heart-wrenching, in fact, it is right to think about it, no matter who occupies Hebei, the Zhen family must rely on people to breathe in order to avoid the disaster of extermination.

Unless the Zhen family joins the ranks of fighting for the world, everyone in the Zhen family knows very well that they don't have that weight.

The ancestors of the Zhen family are also officials, even if his father and brother are still officials, but they are not powerful officials, so they can't gather the world's heroes.

At present, Cao Cao is powerful, and the Yuan family has declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, as long as the children of the Yuan family can really work hard, there are still people who are willing to follow.

And at this time, the world still can't judge how far Cao Cao can go, after all, Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong are both big forces.

Not to mention that there are Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Shixie in Jiaozhou, and several other small princes.

Yuan Xi even knew that it was already the limit for the Zhen family to take out so much, because he was scraped a layer of flesh by his own Lao Tzu at the beginning.

If Yuan Xi hadn't married Zhen, I'm afraid Yuan Shao would have been more ruthless, but fortunately, in general, Yuan Shao values family affection very much, and he is much stronger than Cao Cao.

A person who would rather give up a good opportunity to annex Cao Cao because of his son's illness, if you want to say that he is indecisive or unambitious, it cannot be denied that he really attaches importance to family affection.

Even if he doesn't pay attention to Yuan Xi, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like his son, otherwise he wouldn't let Yuan Xi serve as the assassin of Youzhou.

Therefore, he is still merciful to his children's in-laws, and the Zhen family still has the strength to support Yuan Xi, which can be regarded as a great thing for his son.

After deciding this, Yuan Xi solemnly warned him: "Uncle brother must be prepared, the family will move to Youzhou, Xi calculates that next year at the latest, Cao Cao will launch a full-scale war, with the contradictions between my eldest brother and the third brother, I am afraid that it will be broken by each one, and Jizhou will not be able to keep it." ”

In his previous life, Yuan Xi himself could not be protected, and the Zhen family was eaten and wiped clean by Cao Cao, and it was not until Cao Rui ascended the throne that he gave his grandfather a knighthood, which was inherited by Zhen Yan's son.

But at that time, Zhen had already passed away and could no longer help his mother's family.

The Zhen family can be said to have suffered a great injury, and during the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, the Zhen family no longer heard of any outstanding people, and Yuan Xi could no longer let this happen in this life.

Zhen Yao was taken aback when he heard this, he knew that Cao Cao would capture Hebei sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, Yuan Shao had just died for a year.

Besides, the land of the four states of the Yuan family, both in terms of wealth and armor, is much more than Cao Cao, does Cao Cao dare to swallow the Yuan family in such a hurry.

But Yuan Xi will not lie to himself, since he promised to let Zhen be his wife, the two families are closely connected.

The position of the master mother in the Han Dynasty was very high, not only the role of the lord, when Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, you look at Cao Cao's wife, she stood directly in front of the stage to boost morale.

It can be said that the housewife not only manages the back house, but can even influence the retainers outside, it depends on whether your housewife has this talent, of course, if you have no talent, you can only hide in the back house.
