Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 195 Unbelievable

Seeing that Yuan Shang's arrival was not friendly, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's natural that I have something to do when I come to Zhen's house for my brother, but I can bump into Mr. Xianfu. I don't know if it's a coincidence, or did you come here specially?"

The two who were still calling each other brothers the day before, now called each other so well, both sides have lost patience with this matter, and they don't want to pretend any more.

Yuan Shang laughed and said, "Of course I came here specially."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xianfu to be so concerned about my brother's marriage. It really touched my brother."

Yuan Shang's face turned cold, and he said: "What does Mr. Xian Yi say, he is also a member of my Yuan family. I came here to remind you because I was afraid that you would lose money and be deceived by the Zhen family."

Yuan Xi was surprised: "Oh?"

"I don't know what the Zhen family lied to me?"

Yuan Shang looked around at the crowd, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you find a place, and I'll talk to Mr. Xianyi in detail."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said decisively: "No need, Yuan's work is upright, what is there that cannot be said in front of others?"

Yuan Shang's face froze, he thought to himself that he had captured Yuan Xi's weakness, Yuan Xi would be able to succumb after seeing it, and he would be able to control Youzhou in the future!
Looking at it now, Yuan Xi didn't even want to talk to himself!

Yuan Shang sneered, Yuan Xi didn't know what cards he had!
Zhen Mi hid behind the window, listening to the voices coming from the yard, a trace of sweat oozed from the palm of her hand.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are facing each other tit for tat, this time they will definitely not let it go easily!

Thinking of how Yuan Shang disturbed her marriage several times, Zhen Mi felt resentful, wishing she could climb up the small building and throw a stone to break Yuan Shang's head.

Seeing Yuan Xi's appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Yuan Shang turned his heart away, took a step sideways, pulled the middle-aged man behind him, and said to Zhang: "Madam, do you recognize this person?"

How could Mrs. Zhang not know him, she said: "This is a distant relative of Laoshen in Wuji County, in terms of seniority, he can be regarded as Laoshen's nephew."

The Zhen family in Zhongshan came after Zhen Han, the Taibao of the Han Dynasty, and had two thousand officials in the world. Up to now, Zhen Yi's lineage is the most prominent. He was originally married to the Zhang family, and they had three males and five females.

But after that, Zhen Yilian's two sons passed away early, and only Zhen Yao and a few young children remained in the male branch of the Zhen family.

On the contrary, in Wuji, the hometown of Zhen's family, there are some descendants who reproduce, but the family is far inferior to Zhen Yi's family, so they often need to help, and the two sides live in peace.

The middle-aged man in front of him is also a descendant of one branch of the Zhen family, named Zhen Fang.

Zhen Fang had received a lot of help from Mrs. Zhang. Now that she saw Mrs. Zhang, she subconsciously took two steps forward and said, "I have seen Madam."

Mrs. Zhang was about to speak, but Yuan Shang said: "Zhen Fang, your etiquette is wrong. Now Mrs. Zhang should salute you."

Zhang asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Yuan Shang was triumphant, "Because the position of two thousand shi in the Zhen family has been vacant for a long time, I think Zhen Fang is good, so I went to the Han court and recommended him to follow this position."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang's face turned pale, and he said: "I want to teach Mr. Xianfu to know that this should belong to my son Zhen Yao in the future."

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "No, any official position should be occupied by a virtuous person, not to mention that Zhen Yao is just a descendant of the Zhen family, there is no reason why he must be him."

Zhang shi was angry in her heart, and said: "Could it be that Mr. Xianfu doesn't want the Zhen family to marry Yuan shi so much?"

Yuan Shang laughed: "No, I just recommend Zhen Fang because he is talented."

Zhen Fang heard this, and quickly said with a flattering smile: "Thank you for your kindness, young master, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the future."

Mrs. Zhang cursed inwardly. She knew the details of Zhen Fang. The branch of this person had long since fallen into ruin. He hadn't even read a few books. He usually made a living by fooling around. up.

Yuan Xi watched Yuan Shang's performance all the time, and said: "Youzhou may not be unable to get an official position of two thousand shi."

"If Mr. Xianfu thinks that the Zhen family cares about this official position, won't you look down on the Zhen family?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "Young Master Xian Yi is right."

She is now on the same boat as Yuan Xi, and it is impossible for her to change her mind if Yuan Shang is so aggressive.

Yuan Shang became more and more complacent, "The official position of two thousand shi is indeed nothing, but it has a special meaning when placed in the hereditary position of the Zhen family."

"Now that Zhen Fang has taken over his official position, he is the head of the Zhen family after being recommended by the Jizhou gentry!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was in an uproar.

Yuan Shang is really insidious. He recommends Zhen Fang to be the head of the Zhen family, so he can justifiably intervene in the affairs of the Zhen family!
The head of the family is the head of the clan, and he has the right to make decisions about the affairs of the clan!
Seeing Yuan Shangzhen's face showing complacency, Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "Even if he is the head of the family, he can't interfere with my marriage without a legitimate reason!"

Yuan Shang laughed: "Of course there are legitimate reasons!"

"Miss Zhen's family, you are not worthy!"

"In Yecheng, many people have witnessed him flirting with strange men, which can be said to be a ruin for the family!"

He turned to Yuan Xi, "Mr. Xianyi, how are you?"

"What else do you want to say?"

He thought in his heart that it must be Yuan Xi who was arguing with Zhen Mi, if he admits it, it would be tantamount to damaging his reputation!
However, Yuan Shang's envisioned situation of Yuan Xi's surrender did not appear.

On the contrary, Yuan Xi showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's it?"

Yuan Shang had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Xianyi, don't forget that the girl from the Zhen family secretly met with a man before she got married, not even his future husband!"

"This matter is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette. Even if Mr. Xian Yi can accept it, my Yuan family cannot accept it!"

Yuan Xi said coldly: "Xianfu, the envoy didn't say that, can you make the decision for the envoy?"

"The head of the family is the envoy, not you!"

Yuan Shang did not expect Yuan Xi to be so stubborn, and he became angry from embarrassment: "Although I am not the head of the Yuan family, Zhen Fang is the head of the Zhen family!"

"He can make decisions about the Zhen family!"

After hearing this, Zhen Fang said hastily, "I would like to obey your order."

Mrs. Zhang shouted from the side: "Zhen Fang, how did you survive these years with the help of the Zhen family? You don't know how?"

"Otherwise you can still stand here?"

Zhen Fang shrank back in fright, Yuan Shang snorted coldly, and then Zhen Fang stiffened and shouted: "Now I am the head of the family, I have the final say!"

"As long as it's the Zhen family's marriage, I can take care of it!"

The atmosphere fell into an eerie tranquility.

Seeing Yuan Xi and Zhang's complex expressions, Yuan Shang suddenly felt tense, did he miss something?
What went wrong?

impossible!

Mrs. Zhang said slowly, "My daughter is no longer from the Zhen family."

Yuan Shang was startled, and blurted out: "Could it be that you secretly got married?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He suddenly seemed to have figured something out, and laughed loudly: "I understand, Xian Yi, you married a girl from the Zhen family ahead of time without telling Father!"

"But you are wrong. You adopted yesterday, so you must have married before!"

"At that time, Father was still your father. Without the order of your parents, your marriage is a violation of etiquette and completely invalid!"

"I want to tell Father about you and let him uphold justice!"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said calmly: "Who said I got married secretly?"

"I came today to discuss the matter of marriage."

"But not Miss Zhen."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shang was stunned, and everyone who didn't know was also stunned.

Yuan Shang said shyly, "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "I want to teach Mr. Xianfu to know that the bride Mr. Xianyi is going to marry is indeed my daughter from the Zhen family before."

"But just as Mr. Xianfu said, this girl ruined my Zhen family's style, so she was expelled from the house long ago."

Yuan Shang:? ? ?
He came back slowly, and his face gradually paled.

The strong man broke his wrist?

so cruel?
As for?
He couldn't believe it: "How is it possible!"

"I've never heard of such a thing!"

"It's ridiculous!"

Mrs. Zhang took out a silk book from her sleeve, which stated the cause and effect, as well as the signature of the person concerned, and it was notarized by several gentry.

Looking carefully at the string of names, Yuan Shang felt that he had seen a ghost, there was even Yuan Tan's signature in it!
This is also true, how could the eldest brother give up this opportunity to beat himself!

The key is that he did this, and in the end Yuan Xi rebelled against his army. If the news spread that even this kind of calculation failed, he would lose all face!

But Yuan Shang really didn't understand, he didn't understand!
He said to Zhang: "The Zhen family is a rich scholar family, don't they want to be famous?"

"Why can't you stay behind?

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "I can't bear it too, but my son is so aggressive."

The meaning in her words was obvious, it was Yuan Shang who did not leave any room for others, and in the end everyone was forced to tear their faces apart.

Yuan Shang turned to Yuan Xi: "What about you, want to go to a woman who was kicked out of the gate?"

"You don't want your reputation anymore?"

Yuan Xi smiled: "For some members of the Yuan family, reputation is indeed very important."

"But what is it to me?"

"What I promised, of course I must do it."

Zhen Mi behind the window was in a complicated mood. She couldn't accept it at all when she heard Yuan Xi talking with Mrs. Zhang.

But when Yuan Xi said the worst outcome, the Zhang family was shaken first. If what Yuan Xi said was true, not only the Zhen family would be completely defeated, but Zhen Mi's end would never be good.

Now it seems that Yuan Xi has predicted everything!
Yuan Shang still didn't give up, and said to Zhen Fang: "Yes, there is also the property of the Zhen family!"

"You are the patriarch, you can dispose of the property of the Zhen family!"

"If you are."

Mrs. Zhang said: "The Zhen family has only an empty shelf."

"A while back, when the Zhen family was escorting Mr. Xian Yi's belongings, they encountered an accident and lost all of them. The Zhen family has already sold all their property for compensation."

She could see very clearly that if she couldn't keep the property of the Zhen family, it would be better to go along with the flow and be a favor.

Yuan Shang couldn't help taking a few steps back, his mind was buzzing.

Why can you do it so terribly?
Yuan Xi thought to himself that this is the difference between being on the battlefield and not being on the battlefield.

People like Yuan Shang who are squatting in Yecheng and doing petty calculations will never understand a truth unless they fight a few battles.

If you want to do it, you must do it absolutely. How can you keep your hands in front of enemies who are fighting for life and death?

Yuan Shang said shyly to Yuan Xi: "You want to marry an orphan girl who was kicked out of the house and no one took her in?"

Yuan Xi touched his head, "Not really."

"Let the widow, Huan, feel that the girl from the Zhen family has a pitiful background, and accept her as a righteous daughter."

"From now on, my marriage has nothing to do with the Zhen family, but with the Bian family."

"Brother Zhen Fang, the patriarch, is a little late."

Yuan Shang was completely stunned.

Yuan Xi thought to himself, if I didn't expect you, a bastard, to disrupt the situation, why would I bother to make such a big circle.
