Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 255
Not only was Hua Tuo not surprised when he saw Guo Jia, but he was a little smug, and he was speechless immediately, "The military master is really talented, I'm afraid he never stopped playing songs every night, right?"

Yuan Xi couldn't help but said to Guo Jia: "After you came to Guangling, didn't you just find two concubines, how did you make it like this?"

Guo Jia coughed, "The ones at home will get tired, so I will call a few new singers every day, is this interesting?"

Hua Tuo said, "At least how many times a day?"

Guo Jia thought for a while: "At least? That's only five or six times."

Everyone couldn't help awe.

Guo Jia saw that everyone in the room looked at him with complicated expressions, and said confidently: "I also have a sexual appetite. Is it a problem to eat more food?"

Tai Shici showed a little admiration on his face, and everyone knew that he was really admiring, after all, how much his breathing method hurt his body just now, everyone saw that Guo Jia actually worked harder than him!

Yuan Xi hesitated to speak, trying to put on an expression that you are so powerful, Guo Jia became angry when he saw it, and Tai Shici was fine, why do you have the face to despise me?

He grabbed Yuan Xi's sleeve: "My lord, you also have a lot of wives and concubines, you should understand me?"

Yuan Xi gently pulled his hand back: "I'm not, I'm not, sir, don't talk nonsense."

"Besides, sir doesn't think this is a bad thing, so why explain it to me?"

Guo Jia was choked up for the first time since he joined Yuan Xi. He said angrily, "My lord doesn't understand, Ziyi and I are confidants!"

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, they went to battle to kill the enemy, did you go to bed and commit suicide?

Hua Tuo reluctantly gave Guo Jia a secondary prescription, and at his request, pinching his nose, he added some private goods that were highly tonic.

Seeing Guo Jia rushing to grab the medicine with the prescription, Yuan Xi thought to himself that this is a desperate attempt to die, and no one else can stop him.

Forget it, Tai Shici's persistence is faith, Guo Jia's persistence is also faith, let him go.

In the end, Hua Tuo showed Yuan Xi his pulse, and said that he was in good health, so he just asked Yuan Xi to keep in good health.

Only then did Yuan Xi feel relieved, and bid farewell to Hua Tuo and returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a cart of brand new blank bamboo slips pulled in.

Cao Xian led Cao Jie and carried it with the maid. Yuan Xi saw him and hurried forward to help, saying, "Let me do it, these things are a bit heavy for Cao Jie."

Cao Xian said with a smile: "It's okay. I practiced Wu Qinxi with her these days, and I feel that my body is obviously lighter. Carrying some bamboo slips can also play a role in strengthening the body."

Cao Jie glanced at Yuan Xi, then lowered his head, went over and carefully held several rolls of bamboo slips to his chest, and then followed Cao Xian step by step in small steps.

Yuan Xi moved more than a dozen volumes and held them in his arms. He joked to Cao Jie as he walked, "I have grown up a lot this year, why do you see that I am more reserved?"

As Cao Jie walked, he argued, "You are, you are not!"

"Young master, nonsense!"

Cao Xian said with a smile in front: "Second Sister, why is she so angry today? She doesn't usually complain inside, saying that she doesn't see the young master at all?"

Cao Jie blushed, and said angrily, "I followed my mother, and I didn't see the young master coming over for ten and a half months, but Mrs. Zhen pays her respects every day!"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said with apology: "Speaking of which, Ma'am is my uncle and aunt now, and she should be greeted every day. Now things are too busy in the city. I leave early and return late. I am afraid that my uncle's rest will be delayed, but it is a bit impolite. .”

"From now on, as long as I have free time, I will visit you in the past."

When Cao Jie heard this, he also felt embarrassed, and walked in front with his head bowed.

Cao Xian glanced at Yuan Xi, Mr. Xindao is sometimes smart, sometimes so stupid?

When the three of them reached the door, they heard the sound of coughing coming from the room. Yuan Xi pushed the door open and went in, only to see Cai Zhaoji wearing a leather jacket, coughing while writing.

Seeing Yuan Xi coming in, she said apologetically, "I suffered from the cold last night and couldn't walk, so I asked Cao Xian and the others to help move things."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said, "If you are sick, you should take a good rest. Why do you work so hard instead? Wouldn't it make your condition worse?"

Cai Zhaoji said: "Nowadays there are a hundred or so classics left, all of which are extremely uncommon, so I can barely read them all. I think it will be Chinese New Year soon, so I can finish copying before I feel at ease."

Yuan Xi said: "How can it be a few days away, just wait, I will ask Mr. Yuanhua to have a look."

After a while, Hua Tuo came back with Yuan Xi's carriage, checked Cai Zhaoji's pulse, and said, "It should be because of a cold. Although the disease is not serious, I'm afraid it will be passed on to others. It's better to have less contact with others during this time." .”

Hua Tuo prescribed a prescription, and Yuan Xi sent someone to follow the prescription to get the medicine. After sending Hua Tuo away, he came back and said to Cai Zhaoji, "Go back to your house and recover from your illness."

Cai Zhaoji said: "I might as well just live in this study, anyway there are beds here."

Yuan Xi said helplessly: "I'm just afraid that you won't have a good rest and get up secretly to copy books in the middle of the night. You don't need to go into the study during this time, and wait until you recover from illness."

Cao Xian listened and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the young master understands sister Zhaoji, and sister is really capable of doing such a thing."

Cai Zhaoji saw that her mind had been exposed, so she had no choice but to ask, "What about the remaining books?"

Yuan Xi pointed to Cao Xian: "You don't need to worry about it, there are fewer things going on in the city recently, so I can copy it with her."

Seeing Cao Jie's disappointed face, Cao Xian hurriedly said, "Second sister can write fast and well now, much better than me."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said to Cao Jie, "Then you also come to help."

Only then did Cao Jie become happy.

After a few days, Cai Zhaoji's illness got worse at first, and then gradually began to get better.

However, Zhen Mi fell ill again.

Lying on the couch, she saw Yuan Xi watching the maid boil the medicine, and said with a smile: "This time, I was careless. I thought sister Zhaoji was recovering soon, so I went to have a conversation, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Yuan Xi looked helpless. He had paid attention to everyone. Before Cai Zhaoji recovered from her illness, she had little contact with others. As a result, Zhen Mi didn't take it to heart. She went to see Cai Zhaoji the day before yesterday, and the result was also posted.

Zhen Mi apologized, "During these days, the husband should not share a room with my concubine, we will talk about it after my concubine recovers from illness."

"It's all my concubine's fault. In this way, we can only celebrate the New Year in Guangling City?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi comforted him: "Don't take it to heart, Chinese New Year is also very good here."

"Just after the new year, all the classics have been copied, so let's go back to Youzhou by boat."

"The most urgent thing now is that you should take care of your illness and don't think about what you have or what you don't have."

After hearing this, Zhen Mi could only nod her head.

Both Cai Zhaoji and Zhen Mi fell ill, so Yuan Xi simply asked the maid to take care of them, and moved to live in the study by himself.

He and Sister Cao Xian couldn't understand most of the characters in the remaining rare books, so they had to find all the readers in the mansion to discuss and figure it out together.

Yuan Xi was surprised to find that Huan and Mrs. Cai were the ones who knew the most rare characters.

As the widow of a famous scholar Bian Rang, the Huan family can only read a lot of characters. Does the Cai family in Jingzhou have such a deep family background?

He asked Mrs. Cai about it, but the other party was unwilling to say more, so Yuan Xi had no choice but to give up, as long as it could help, he didn't care much about other things.

There are now four people in the room copying books, Yuan Xi, Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu was copying the classics, secretly looking at Yuan Xi out of the corner of her eye.

She felt that this fierce tiger of the Yuan family had a very deep mind and seemed to be testing herself all the time. This made her feel frightened every day, and she couldn't sleep well, fearing that her identity would be exposed one day.

But now it's time to wait!
After these two months of living, she has figured out all the living habits of everyone in the mansion.

Zhen Mi's illness has not recovered quickly in the past few days, and it is estimated that she will have to recuperate for ten and a half months.

Cai Zhaoji is almost fine, and it is estimated that in a few days, she will return to the study and re-transcribe the book.

During the Chinese New Year, sisters Cao Xian and Cao Jie will not stay in the study, and should live with Huan.

That Zhao Ji is a person who can't rest assured until she finishes her work, and she will definitely finish copying the classics in a hurry. In this way, she will stay in the study and stay up late, and her room is likely to be empty at night!

And at night, Yuan Xi will go to the city to patrol, so there will be several hours of vacancy in the mansion for him to act!
Mrs. Wu has found out that Sun Ce has occupied Lujiang County at this time, confronting Liu Yao of Wu County, which is only a few hundred miles away.

On New Year's Eve, when everyone in the mansion is at their lowest vigilance, this is the best time to steal the token and escape back to Lujiang. As long as you leave the city, you can use the token to recruit merchant ships and go to Lujiang County to meet Sun Ce!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu felt a deep apology in her heart. The Yuan family treated her very well, and instead of repaying her kindness, she also deceived the other party, and in the end she even committed theft, which is not what a gentleman does.

But she has no other way, Yuan Xi and Sun Ce have become sworn enemies, if his identity is exposed, what if he uses himself to blackmail Sun Ce?
Madam Wu didn't dare to take this risk, she thought in her heart that she could only repay the kindness she gave to the horse at the beginning, and Yuan Xi should have repaid a lot after robbing Sun Ce's Guangling City, right?
As Yuan Xi copied it, his wrists felt a little sore, but when he looked up, it was almost noon.

He thought for a while and said to Mrs. Wu: "There are still a few days until the Spring Festival, and it's time to buy some things for the New Year. Let's do it like this before."

"Madam has helped a lot these days, but it's hard work."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu stood up and thanked her without moving her expression. She suppressed her joy and finally left!
Seeing that sisters Cao Xian and Cao Jie were still copying, Yuan Xi said, "It's the same with you, go out and have fun on the street."

"You go to my house to get a few juan and buy some New Year's gifts for my aunt."

After Cao Xian heard this, he cheered and pulled Cao Jie to go outside. She stopped suddenly: "The two of us are going to the street?"

Yuan Xi looked at the expectant eyes of the two women, and said with a smile: "Okay, after dinner, you two will follow me and take a carriage to the city together to have a look."

Only then did Cao Xian and Cao Jie cheer, and ran away hand in hand.

Looking at the backs of the two girls, Yuan Xi thought that it is good to be young. Seeing them, even in this cold winter day, he could still feel the warmth of his family.
