For several days, Jia Xu's home was full of guests.

Frustrated, judged, Guo Tu and others came to visit one after another, and even Tian Feng, who had always been withdrawn, came to the door in person.

Because they don't just represent themselves, they also represent the families and factions behind them; You must know that Jia Xu has just arrived in Yecheng, has no foundation, and has no interference or damage to the interests of all parties, but he is valued by Yuan Shao, and everyone naturally wants to win over such a talent.

Jia Fu.

After sending Feng Ji who came to visit away, Jia Xu returned to the study and took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, which was somewhat dry.

"This is already the eighth batch of visiting guests."

Jia Xu let out a long sigh and couldn't help but reach out and rub his temples.

In the past few days, all the forces under Yuan Shao's command have shown favor to him, and the threshold of his family is about to be broken.

Although it is what he is good at, being good at it does not mean that he likes it, and coming and going are all those scenes and polite words, which are really boring and boring.

"Well, when you first came here, this is inevitable."

"It will be fine in a little while."

Jia Xu shook his head and suppressed the slight unhappiness in his heart.

These days, he is not without gains, in addition to the generous gifts sent by various factions, he has gradually figured out the intricate network of relationships and power structures under Yuan Shao's command.

This will be of great help to him in his future life.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu was in a much happier mood, leaning on the pear blossom wooden chair and pondering the direction of the future.

Hanging on the wall behind him is a calligraphy and painting with the big word "stable", the pen is vigorous and powerful, and it comes from his own hand.

"However, why haven't you seen that Guo Jia these days?"

Jia Xu suddenly remembered the young man who had a relationship at the banquet in the Yuan Mansion that day.

In the past few days, he has also found out the identity of this person.

The surname Guo Mingjia is Fengxiao, born in Yingchuan, a side branch of the Guo family that has long declined, and can be called a child of a poor family, and he has not been taken seriously for several years under Yuan Shao.

The other party has not come to visit in the past few days.

However, although he had no contact, his intuition told him that this young man was not an ordinary person.

If you have the chance, you can make friends.

Just when Jia Xu was thinking so, the housekeeper suddenly walked into the study and reported to him: "Master, the second son of the Yuan family has come to visit." ”

"Huh?"

Jia Xu paused as he drank tea, raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it the second son of the general, Yuan Xigongzi?" ”

"Exactly."

Jia Xu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he put down the tea bowl and said, "Please come to the lobby to entertain, I'll go over later." ”

"Yes, sir."

The butler retreated.

Jia Xu drank the tea unhurriedly in the study, and waited for some time before going to the lobby.

At this time, Yuan Xi was already waiting in the hall.

Seeing Jia Xu coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yuan Xi has seen Mr.!" ”

He insisted on the junior salute to Jia.

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't dodge, he accepted this salute calmly, and then smiled: "Why is the second son so polite, please take a seat." ”

After the two sat down, Jia Xu said: "I was just taking a nap, and I didn't know that there was a guest visiting, so the second son waited for a long time." ”

"Sir, if anything, I'm bothering you."

Yuan Xi shook his head when he heard this, and then said very seriously: "My father often taught me to respect the virtuous and elders, and Mr. just let the younger generations wait as long as they should be, how dare you have a grudge?" ”

This kind of posture is simply extremely low, which is completely different from the previous Yuan Xi.

Jia Xufat had a smile on his face and said, "I don't know if the second son is visiting today, what are you doing?" ”

He didn't bother to continue chatting with Yuan Xi like this.

As the second son of the Yuan family, with such a gesture towards him, the intention of begging someone to do something is simply not too obvious.

So simply pick it out and say it, depending on the situation, agree or refuse.

Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Now my father has ordered me and my third brother to share the military, politics, and logistics affairs; But the younger generation is only shallow in learning, and it is really not enough. ”

"The name of Mr. is like thunder, and the younger generations do not ask Mr. to give advice to the younger generations, but only hope that Mr. Neng occasionally gives advice to the younger generations."

"In this way, the younger generation will be grateful!"

Yuan Xi said, took out another gift slip from his arms, and put his hands on the table beside him.

"It's just a small courtesy, and I hope Mr. will accept it with a smile."

Yuan Shang had Guo Jia to help, which made Yuan Xi feel deep pressure; After waking up that day, he realized that if he didn't find a helping hand, he would probably not be able to compete with the third brother at all.

And Jia Xu is the object of his fancy.

Feeling Yuan Xi's sincere and fiery eyes, Jia Xu didn't have any waves in his heart, but he was a little surprised when his eyes swept over the gift list.

"Second son, this is not a small courtesy."

Yuan Xi just smiled, and then said, "If you can get Mr. to help, this gift is nothing." ”

However, Jia Xu just shook his head, pushed the gift list back, and then said, "Second son, I can't accept this gift. ”

"The general let the two sons take charge of affairs separately in order to test the ability of the two sons, how can I help you beyond the bounds?"

"Let's take back this gift."

What kind of person is he, just listening to Yuan Xi's words just now, he knows Yuan Shao's plan, and he doesn't want to interfere in this kind of battle between heirs.

Yuan Xi was immediately anxious when he heard this, got up and said: "Sir, my father didn't say that I was not allowed to ask for help from outside, and the third brother of the junior recruited a strategist named Guo Jia, so he was able to suppress the junior." ”

"Now that the juniors have no other way, please ask Mr. to help the juniors!"

Yuan Xi is really desperate, he can't find anyone to help him now.

Jia Xu was his last straw.

"You're talking about...... Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao? ”

Hearing the name Yuan Xi said, Jia Xu raised his eyes.

It was the young strategist.

Yuan Xi nodded again and again: "That's right, it's him!" Although this person is not famous, he has excellent abilities! ”

"Last time, the junior was going to marry the Zhen family, but he gave advice to Yuan Shang and designed to destroy this marriage and harm the juniors!"

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and said the incident again.

After listening to this, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel a strong interest in his heart.

This Guo Jia is a bit interesting.

However, he still didn't agree to Yuan Xi's request, but said: "Let me think about it, and ask the second son to take back the gift." ”

"No, no, no, how can you take back a gift?"

"This gift must be accepted, sir!"

Yuan Xi was very happy, although Jia Xu didn't agree, he also didn't refuse, this is enough!

As for the gifts, he won't take them back.

As long as you can get Jia Xu's favor, it's enough!

"Then sir, the juniors will leave, there are many disturbances today, please don't blame sir."

Yuan Xi saluted respectfully again, and then took his leave and left.

Jia Xu watched Yuan Xi leave, and his mind had already flown away.

He smashed his mouth and muttered, "Yuan Shaozhi is big but has no plans, and he is not like a human master." Next, let's see if the Son of Heaven can assist. ”

Talking with Yuan Shao for a few days, he has been observing; also met with his advisers again, and only then did he get some news of the brothers' wall from Yuan Xi's mouth.

Jia Xu no longer had the previous idea of "the Son of Heaven can't help Yuan Shao if he can't assist", and concluded that Yuan Shao couldn't win the world.

Today's Yuan Benchu gives him a completely different impression from when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, as if they were two people.

"If the Son of Heaven can't help, then he will go."

Jia Xu staggered to the backyard, although he likes wealth, but he cherishes his life even more.
