Chapter 378: Brotherly Love
Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin spent their honeymoon like this.
There are more than ten days in total.
The weather was also a little cold, so Xi Yu told Ouyang Linlin that it was better to go back quickly.
"Maybe you're not having fun, so let's make up for it during the Spring Festival next year."
Ouyang Linlin asked, "Will we still be in Youzhou next spring?" ”
"Not necessarily, maybe other territories have already been explored."
In the past few days, Ouyang Linlin felt that Xi Yu was a warm man, and he was very good at taking care of himself.
Maybe it's because I had a few wives before, and I already know how to love women.
"Husband, do you want to bring all of our Central Plains into your arms?"
"Not only that, but maybe it's bigger, and even the territory will be even more extended."
Ouyang Linlin was stunned, she didn't expect the other party's ambition to be so big.
And in the past few days, she has also tried hard to understand Xiyu.
She also pestered Xi Yu to tell herself about the past.
Xi Yu has talked about what started with Cao Cao until now.
Of course, he didn't tell the other party the identity of his crossing.
Because I told her, she didn't understand either.
Ouyang Linlin didn't expect that her husband would be so interested, and it was almost smooth sailing along the way.
Naturally, she wouldn't know that the reason why it was so smooth was because Xi Yu was not from this era.
Xi Yu finally returned to Youzhou.
On this day, he came to the business association to inspect, Sun Zhongmou was studying the next plan, and was talking with several business tycoons.
Seeing Xi Yu coming, everyone got up.
Xi Yu said: "I came here without saying hello to you, so I will disturb your meeting." ”
"Xigong, what are you talking about? How could there be a business association without you? ”
Sun Zhongmou said: "Don't be so polite, I'll just be an advisor in the future, and it will really be you." ”
Sun Zhongmou didn't know what the advisor meant, so he explained it to him.
Xi Yu pondered, why did the opera have these new words?
At the same time, he said that now that the meeting is almost over, it is estimated that there is something wrong with the arrival of Xi Yu.
Xi Yu said: "There really is, there are people in the business association who sell clothes, and I hope to be able to buy some cotton clothes." The more expensive, the better. ”
Sun Zhongmou said that this is easy to do, although it has not been a long time, but he has basically remembered the names of the major wealthy merchants in Youzhou City by now.
Immediately, he said one.
Xi Yu nodded, planning to take a look.
"By the way, Xigong, I was going to go to you right away and report a message to you."
Seeing that he was so serious, Xi Yu asked him what was going on.
Now someone is smuggling, and this person is Yan Laosan.
Sun Quan told him about his investigation.
It turned out that someone reported Yan Laosan for buying and selling products without the permission of the association, and now he has been caught.
Xi Yu said: "In this case, this kind of person will be expelled directly, and then the whole association will be reported." ”
The fact that these people joined the association was unscrupulous, and they wanted to grab benefits from the association, and they actually made trouble with the association.
Sun Quan also dealt with the matter immediately, and soon announced that Yan Laosan would be expelled directly, and he would never be allowed to join the association from now on.
He also told the members of the association that they were forbidden to associate with them if there was no special need.
Unless it is related to him in the business, it is regarded as an accomplice.
This was the first negative incident that the business association was formed to deal with.
Many people also find that business associations are really very strict.
After Yan Laosan learned of this, he was particularly indignant.
He said that he manages his own things, how he is willing to sell them, how much he is willing to sell, how much he is willing to sell, why must he be under the jurisdiction of the association?
After Sun Zhongmou heard this, he felt very ridiculous.
Now that you have joined the association, even if you agree with the rules of the association, you still dare to say such things, it is really not as good as a three-year-old child.
And Xi Yu soon came, the shop that sold clothes was called Yao Ji.
The man selling the clothes was an old man in his fifties. and his son in his thirties.
"Uncle Yao, how is your business lately?" Xi Yu asked the old man.
"Oops, it turns out that the drama is here, please take a seat."
Lao Yao hurriedly asked his son Xiaoyao to make tea for Xiyu.
"Don't be so polite, I'm here to walk around casually and buy some clothes by the way."
"Oh, the drama man wants to buy clothes, I don't know what kind of clothes to buy?"
Xi Yu said that it is to buy cotton clothes, preferably special to keep out the cold, the most expensive one.
I have to buy two or three more pieces.
Lao Yao laughed.
"Looks like it was bought for a few ladies."
Then he immediately took out the most expensive cotton clothes.
Xi Yu saw that this color was really good.
In fact, he bought it for Xi Zhicai, but there is no need to tell Lao Yao.
He said he bought it for his wife, so let it be as he said.
That night, Ouyang Linlin slept in Xi Yu's room.
Xi Yu said: "Tomorrow I will go to find my brother Xi Zhicai, so I will not be at home for several days."
"How are you going to go to him this winter? Isn't it okay when the spring flowers are blooming? ”
Ouyang Linlin seemed to have captured a meaning.
Maybe it's because sooner or later Xi Yu will have to go to war with Cao Pi.
Recently, there is now a state of apparent harmony between everyone.
Therefore, seeing Cao Pi in the future is like seeing an enemy, he and his brother are not in the same military camp, and they will be like strangers at that time.
So I took advantage of the present to see my brother.
In the past, Ouyang Linlin had never been interested in things between princes.
But since marrying Xi Yu, she has also worked hard to start paying attention to similar things.
Seeing her thinking, Xi Yu said: "What, do you think that sooner or later there will be a war, I am meeting my brother in advance?" ”
"Yes, I did, isn't that how it is?"
Xi Yu smiled slightly.
"This is just one thing, and second, I have one more thing to discuss with Cao Pi."
But what exactly was the matter, Xi Yu didn't say, and Ouyang Linlin didn't ask.
"Okay, let's leave tomorrow morning, let's have a good rest today."
Xi Yu yawned.
Ouyang Linlin asked, "Husband, why don't you let your brother follow you?" ”
Xi Yu sighed.
"Do you think I haven't thought about it? Everyone has their own ambitions, and there are some things that cannot be forced. ”
Xi Yu thinks that if it is someone else, he will definitely stammer himself.
It's a pity that Xi Zhicai is not this kind of person, which is also an excellent quality in him.
Regardless of whether Cao Pi fails in the future or not, it is also a blessing for him to have a person like his brother who is loyal by his side.
On the second day, Xi Yu rode to Cao Wei's camp.
He deliberately brought the cotton clothes to protect his brother from the cold, because his brother was particularly afraid of the cold.
A few days later, he finally came to this former lair, remembered the bits and pieces with Cao Cao, and felt that time passed so fast.
Soon, Xi Yu hurried to Xi Zhicai's house.
The gate was open, and there was an old man cleaning.
When he heard a noise outside, he hurried to the door to watch.
"But it's the drama that has arrived, the drama father, you came to see my master, he will be very happy."
Xi Yu nodded.
"Excuse me, let's report it quickly."
The old man happily came to Xi Zhicai's room.
Xi Zhicai is also thinking about the issue of Xi Yu at the moment.
He also knew that Cao Pi and Xi Yu would have a fight sooner or later.
They are currently the largest princes.
And it is impossible for anyone to surrender to whom, so war is absolutely inevitable, and he feels a little uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
He is loyal to Cao Pi, but Xi Yu is his own brother.
Even now he has been snubbed by Cao Pi.
Because someone was blowing the wind in front of Cao Pi.
It is said that he must have had a special purpose in Cao Wei's camp.
At this moment, Cao Pi was being pinched by the shoulders of the two maids.
Suddenly, two soldiers came, and they said that they had seen Xi Yu leading his horse to see Xi Zhicai.
Cao Pi was stunned, he had recently become nervous and particularly sensitive.
Someone told him, if you can't afford to be early, how can Xi Zhicai get close to Cao Pi, will you betray your brother?
Therefore, some of his strategies must not be completely for the sake of Cao Pi, and he will even betray Cao Pi.
So when Cao Pi sees Xi Zhicai now, his mood is a little complicated, and he even hates it.
And now, Xi Yu actually went to see Xi Zhicai, it seems that the two of them are really plotting something.
He planned to arrange a few maids to Xi Zhicai's hands in the next step.
For example, it is said that he has worked hard and made great achievements, and he should be given a few girls to enjoy.
Then let these girls report the information to themselves at any time.
And when this drama comes to his own territory, he doesn't come to find himself.
Although he often felt that this uncle was pressing on his head. The identity of the family seems to be more noble, but he is also a big prince anyway.
"Okay, Ben Hou knows, maybe the brothers are reminiscing about the old days."
Cao Pi waved his hand, pretending to be very indifferent on the surface.
But in fact, I was already very depressed.
When Xi Zhicai heard the report of Xi Yu's arrival, he couldn't believe his ears.
"What do you say? My brother has arrived? ”
"Yes, the drama is outside now, and he has a horse with him."
Xi Zhicai hurriedly got up from his seat.
"In that case, what are you doing there, why don't you hurry up and invite people in?"
The old man hurried to the gate, took the horse, and then told Xi Yu to hurry in.
As soon as Xi Yu entered, Xi Zhicai had already run out quickly, and then spread his arms.
Tears were already forming in the corners of his eyes.
"Brother, you're here from afar."
Xi Yu was holding a few cotton clothes in his hands.
"Brother, this is the cotton clothes I bought for you, I know you are afraid of the cold."
Xi Zhicai hugged him, and then patted the other party's shoulder.
"My stupid brother, I can't buy cotton clothes if I want to, you have to go all the way to send them to me."
His tears flowed uncontrollably.
Xi Yu smiled and said, "Brother, look at it, you are crying just like Liu Bei." ”
Xi Zhicai let him go, a little embarrassed.
"By the way, when you talk about Liu Bei, I heard that Liu Bei has now become your subordinate, and my brother is indeed amazing."
As the two brothers spoke, they walked into the main room.
And Xi Yu put the cotton clothes on a chair.
"Brother. You remember me. ”
"Brother, what you said is too polite, we are compatriots, why do we want to see the outside like this?"
"Brother, is it as simple as you just giving me cotton clothes this time? Could there be something else? ”
Seeing his heavy appearance, Xi Yu understood that his thoughts were probably the same as Ouyang Linlin's.
It is also believed that this is the last face before the war.
In fact, it is still a little immature to fight with Cao Pi now.
After all, Cao Pi's power is deep-rooted, and he also has a lot of territory, and now Zhang Lu has also become Cao Pi's person.
"Of course there is something, I want to discuss something with Cao Pi. Specifically, we want to cooperate, but I wonder if he is willing to accept it. ”
It turned out that this was the case, and Xi Zhicai also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that there will be no war in the short term.
He didn't ask anything more.
Soon, Xi Zhicai asked his subordinates to hurry up and prepare tea and wine, and he wanted to treat his younger brother well today.
Xi Yu naturally didn't be polite to him.
The two of them said a kind word, and Xi Zhicai said that he had also heard about Fang Jun, because Xi Yu had sent someone to deliver food.
And Xi Yu also told all the housework of marrying Ouyang Linlin.
"Okay, brother, now that I see your career getting bigger and bigger, my brother is really happy."
Xi Yu was not particularly happy when he saw his brother's face, and he seemed to be a lot haggard.
"Brother, have you been wronged recently?"
"Where there is any grievance, it is that people are old and may look a little haggard."
Xi Zhicai immediately hid his embarrassment with a smile.
"Brother, don't lie to me, there must be something, if you treat me as your own brother, you can tell me."
Soon, someone brought tea.
Xi Zhicai let Xi Yu take a sip of water and said, "Yes, I do have some things, and now I have been suspected by Cao Gong." ”
He told me about it.
Xi Yu said: "I have long thought that there will be such a day, because after all, you are sandwiched between the two of us, and this, Cao Pi must have inherited his father's genes, and his father is suspicious after all." ”
Although Xi Zhicai doesn't know what genes are, he probably understands what Xi Yu means.
"Brother, since that's the case, then follow me in the future, wouldn't it be more like a fish in water?"
However, Xi Zhicai shook his head.
No matter how suspicious Cao Gong is, his loyal ministers will not protect the two masters, and he will never betray him.
Xi Yu was a little speechless.
This brother is really a nerd.
And in ancient times, there were really a lot of such nerds.
When he was about to speak, the drama said: "Brother, I know that I have always been here, which makes it very difficult for you, but you don't have to think about my existence, you can do whatever you want, but if you want me to join your camp, it is impossible." ”
Seeing that Xi Zhicai said so resolutely, Xi Yu had no choice but to say no more.
Next, the two of them were drinking tea and learning about some other things.
Xi Yu felt that since Cao Pi was suspicious of his brother, it was estimated that his coming here today would already be targeted by Cao Pi.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the next day, he will go to see Cao Pi.
Before you know it, it's already dark.
Xi Zhicai looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect to talk to my brother, time flies so quickly." ”
At this moment, a maid came over and said, "Master, the meal is ready, do you want to come up quickly?" ”
"That's natural, I'm going to get drunk with my brother today."
After a while, the dishes came up.
"Brother, you don't have anything else to worry about when you come here anyway, so you must get drunk today."
"Okay, brother, I will definitely accompany you to drink happily today."
At the same time, he said that the cotton clothes he bought today were special to keep out the cold, and let his brother try it.
And the size is also bought according to Xi Zhicai's figure.
"Brother has a heart."
Xi Zhicai really tried it and found that it really fit very well and was very comfortable.
"By the way, brother, there is one thing I haven't told you yet, I have established a business association in Youzhou, and of course business associations will be established in other places in the future."
Xi Zhicai nodded.
Now no matter what his brother does, he won't be surprised anymore.
And after the two of them finished drinking, they began to make fists.
Xi Zhicai suddenly said: "Brother, do you remember when we were children? We're playing hide and seek, so let's do that now. ”
Xi Yu laughed.
"Brother, are we all like this now?"
"Of course it's necessary, don't we just have to rediscover the feeling of childhood?"
Xi Yu saw that his brother's interest was so high, and finally agreed to his request.
According to the memory of the original owner, they also had a lot of friends who played with them when they were young.
But Xi Yu really doesn't like to do this activity.
But when he saw his brother like this, it was really against his will.
But once he entered the game, Xi Yu really found the feeling of childhood, not only the childhood of the owner of this body, but also his own childhood.
Many people in the house were very happy when they saw the two big men happy like children.
For a full hour, both of them were tired, and then they stopped.
Xi Zhicai held Xi Yu's hand and said, "Brother, what a good thing it would be if we could be happy like this forever." ”
"Brother, I believe it will, we can be happy forever."
Then, he also sighed.
Life is rushed.
This life span itself is finite, but this joy is very little.
"Brother, in fact, people's happiness and pain are half apart, but we don't think about it, because we care too much about pain, but we tend to ignore happiness, so we always think that there is more pain." (End of chapter)
