Chapter 155: Yuan's Mansion Night Talk
In the evening, the living room of Yuan's mansion was brightly lit. Yuan Feng knelt on the main seat, Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji sat on the left side, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu sat on the right side.
Yuan Feng looked at Yuan Kui and asked softly: "Third child, I heard the old housekeeper in the house say that today's younger sister Ma Lun forced Wu Yong to settle a family relationship with Yuan Mei, and Wu Yong disagreed, but is there such a thing?" Yuan Kui was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "It's really a good thing that doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles." My only daughter has been following her mother's temperament since she was a child, and she is very stubborn, and what she believes is that ten cows will not be able to pull it back. It's also my fault, the last time I visited the Beard Mansion, I shouldn't have taken her there, and I shouldn't have mentioned the fact that each other was a marriage home. Then he sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that this Wu Yong would have great ambitions at such a young age and be completely unmoved by foreign affairs." I also mentioned it casually that day, but I didn't want to worry about it, and I didn't think about tea and dinner these days, so there was a matter of Marento Yuan Shu inviting Wu Yong to a banquet, in order to facilitate his investigation. ”
"Huh? And what's going on? Why didn't anyone tell me? Yuan Feng turned his head to look at Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu hurriedly explained: "Uncle asked the child to be quiet, and only invited a few friends to the banquet in the child's courtyard, so she didn't tell her father. Yuan Feng nodded, then turned to Yuan Kui and asked, "What is the result?" Is it satisfying for your siblings? Yuan Kui sighed: "It's not just satisfaction, it's because I'm so satisfied that Ma Lun is a little impatient and makes jokes." Yuan Feng was a little unhappy and said: "This Wu Yong is so bold, relying on his own talents, my Yuan family said kiss three times and twice, he dared to refuse, do you really think that my Yuan family can't help him?" Yuan Shao said with a little excitement: "Uncle, let my nephew take action this time, and keep it so that he can learn an unforgettable lesson." "He was originally Yuan Feng's concubine, and he succeeded to Yuan Tang's eldest son Yuan Chengming, and now he leads a single sect and has some fame in Luoyang City.
But recently, Wu Yong's sudden appearance unconsciously stole a lot of limelight from him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, and now when he heard that Yuan Feng was going to punish Wu Yong's rudeness, he immediately volunteered.
Yuan Feng's face showed a hint of a smile, he, a concubine who had been passed out, still respected him, every time he encountered a tricky matter, Yuan Shao solved his worries and problems, and never caused him trouble.
However, when his eyes fell on his third brother Yuan Kui and eldest son Yuan Ji, he saw that they both shook their heads in disapproval.
Yuan Kui immediately said loudly: "In this matter, it's better not to interfere with it, just let them go with the flow, otherwise it will only make our Yuan family even more embarrassed!" Yuan Ji also interjected at the right time: "Yes, father, it is easy to teach Wu Yong a lesson, but the series of changes brought about are extremely unfavorable to our Yuan family." Yuan Feng slowly put away his smile and said, "Tell me what happened?" Yuan Ji was not shocked, slowly stood up, and said: "Father should have heard that Wu Yong can be the Son of Heaven to study, and the two servants Cheng Huang and Guo Sheng, the middle attendants, are indispensable. Seeing that Yuan Feng's face became solemn, Yuan Ji paused for a moment and continued to speak: "Not to mention the two middle attendants, they are the five surnamed families, and we should not be enemies with them." Nowadays, the situation in the imperial court is unpredictable, and making friends with a few more forces is the way out for our Yuan clan in the future. Speaking of this, Yuan Ji stopped, because he suddenly found that Wu Yong's current status, with the assistance of two middle servants and the help of the five surnamed families, was simply unbreakable, and no one could do anything about him.
Don't look at the decline of the family with the five surnames now, but their head of the family is a marquis, and he has been operating in Luoyang for so many years, which is by no means comparable to the ordinary family valves.
If they are led by Wu Yong this time, they will not be able to stand in the power center of the Han Dynasty again. Shaking his head, he was about to speak, but he heard Yuan Shao laugh and said: "Brother, this is to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige." Yuan Ji's eyes froze, and he said in a stern tone: "If you want to teach Wu Yong a lesson, do it in your own name, don't involve the Yuan family, I don't want to clean up the mess for you." Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, he can have today's reputation, all because of the Yuan family, if he puts aside the identity of the Yuan family's disciple, he has neither the talent of Wu Yong, nor the ability to deal with things like Wu Yong.
When they come together, who will teach whom, it is not certain. Therefore, he could only look at Yuan Feng and ask for his support,
"Uncle, how to deal with this matter, you say something, my nephew will not hesitate to go to the soup."
"This ......" Yuan Feng was also a little embarrassed at this time, he just said that he wanted to teach Wu Yong a lesson, Yuan Shao immediately agreed, if he refuted Yuan Shao's words at this time, he felt a little unbearable on his face.
Just when he couldn't make up his mind, Yuan Kui spoke.
"Let's stop this matter, since Wu Yong gave Tai Academy the immortal art of printing books, those Tai students are like senior brothers to Wu Yong, if we make trouble with him at this time, it is not a joke for those Tai students to make trouble." After hearing this, everyone's faces changed, how could they forget this.
After these days of fermentation, those Tai students regard Wu Yong as their own, so to speak, now in the Tai Academy, except for the Five Classics and Fourteen Doctors, who dares to say a bad word about Wu Yong, and he is spurned by all the Tai students.
It is really the method of printing that Wu Yong gave away for free, which is too useful to them, they used to come to Tai Academy to study, but the bamboo slips have to pull a few carts, and it is good to say that it is nothing more than a little trouble to travel, but for those children of poor families, this is simply to ruin their families.
But since the book came out, all the problems have been solved, which is a blessing for all students.
Especially in the past few days, the businessmen who heard the rumors were guarding the gate of Tai Academy every day, and a copy of "Jinwen Shangshu" could not be bought for 10,000 yuan, and everyone regarded the printed books as treasures.
And Wu Yong, who brought about this change, was naturally supported by the students. Whoever dares to be an enemy of it is an enemy of the students of the entire Tai Academy.
This is not a joke, you must know that these students are making trouble, and they are helpless today.
Thinking of this, Yuan Feng waved his hand with some interest,
"Don't mention this matter in the future!" Although Yuan Shao was a little unwilling, he could only give up and sit there alone sulking.
At this time, Yuan Shu suddenly laughed and said, "I think this may be an opportunity for us?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Feng glanced at his youngest son, and didn't have much hope for him. After all, Yuan Shu has always been a prodigal child in his eyes, and he doesn't control him too much on weekdays.
Yuan Shu put away his smile and said solemnly: "Father, do you still remember the person who served Yuan Yu?" ”
"Yuan Yu?" Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said somewhat casually: "I've dealt with it a few times, but I'm not very familiar with it." What do you mention him for? Yuan Shu thought for a while, organized his words, and then said: "That's the case, when the child went to the palace with his friend Zhu Yuan to pick up Wu Yong a few days ago, he happened to meet Yuan Yu, and after he learned my identity, he said a word to the child, and now that I think about it, I still feel a little meaningful." ”
"What words? Don't ramble, say it quickly. Yuan Feng immediately took out the prestige of being a parent. Yuan Shu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and then said: "He said to the child like this at the time: You and I are both from Ruyang County, Runan County, and we can't say that our ancestors are from the same branch, and we should support each other in the future." The child didn't take it to heart at the time, but at this time, he wanted to form an alliance with my Yuan family? After hearing this, Yuan Feng immediately scolded: "When did this happen, why did you only think about it now!" ”
The boy thought he was joking and didn't take it to heart. Afterwards, he drank with Wu Yong and them, and he forgot about it, and it was not until the eldest brother mentioned the Zhongchang service just now that the child remembered. Yuan Shu said a little aggrieved.
"You ......" Yuan Feng didn't know what to say about him. At this time, Yuan Kui comforted: "Brother, don't be like Yuan Shu's nephew, he is still young, and he is a playful age." Let's hurry up and discuss a result and reply to Yuan Yu as soon as possible. ”
"What else to discuss, just refuse! Eunuchs and scholars are incompatible, how can our Yuan clan be with eunuchs! Yuan Ji interjected.
"Superficial!" Yuan Feng glared at him, and then asked Yuan Kui,
"What do you think?" Yuan Kui smiled and said, "The opportunity is right in front of you, how can you easily miss the opportunity!" What's more, the foolish brother still wants Wu Yong to help match. ”
"You're scheming!" Yuan Feng sighed with emotion, and then asked, "You should know the consequences, right?" Yuan Kui nodded,
"Brother, rest assured, if something goes wrong, my brother will never affect my brother's family, just say that someone is doing it."
"In this case, you can do it yourself, I will explain it later, and find a few trustworthy clansmen in the mansion to help you deal with this matter."
"Then thank you, brother!" Yuan Kui arched his hand. Yuan Feng nodded, and then suddenly said, "Cai Yong, have you heard of it?" Everyone was stunned, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Yuan Feng thought for a moment and said, "That's the case, a few days ago, Yuan Peng, who stayed in Yuan's family, found me and wanted me to find an errand for his niece Cai Yong in Luoyang. Yuan Kui was slightly stunned and said, "How could Chen Liuyuan's family ask us to come here?" Yuan Ji sneered: "It's not that you want to have some relationship with our Runan Yuan clan!" Yuan Feng nodded in approval, pondered for a while, and said: "This matter is not urgent, it is just a gesture, and it is also cost-effective to let Chen Liuyuan owe favors." However, the speed of changes in the three princes of the imperial court has been extremely fast recently, so we have to keep an eye on it to maximize the interests of our Yuan family. Next, everyone discussed some of the policies recently issued by the imperial court.
After a while, Yuan Feng stood up and said, "Let's stop here today, it's getting late, everyone rest early." And when they were separated, they went to the courtyard where they lived.
In another courtyard, Ma Lun's eyes were a little annoyed, she looked at Yuan Mei who was leaning on the bed and reading a book, and sighed secretly in her heart: What a wrong.
Yuan Mei was holding the printed version of "Jinwen Shangshu", which Ma Lun got from Tai Academy by relying on his relationship, especially when he heard that Wu Yong's two and a half "Shangshu" essays were also printed on it, which made Yuan Mei love it.
As if sensing her gaze, Yuan Mei raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Mother, why are you sighing?" Ma Lun hesitated for a moment and sighed: "It's also your grandfather Ma Rong who passed away a few years ago, otherwise let your grandfather come forward, even today, you have to give a little thin noodles, forgive him Wu Yong will not dare to refuse your marriage." Yuan Mei glanced at her in surprise, as if she was thinking about something, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Mother, don't embarrass Wu Yong in the future, the matter of marriage cannot be forced, and my fate with him depends on God's arrangement." After saying that, she lowered her head again and continued to read the book in her hand attentively.
Maren opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, just asked herself in her heart: How did you give birth to such a stubborn daughter......
