Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 420
Yuan Xi stepped forward and said, "I've seen sister."

Then he paid homage to Mrs. Hong: "I have seen Madam."

Seeing this, Mrs. Hong hummed in a low voice, her expression rather cramped.

Yuan Xing returned the gift, quite sighing, "It's hard for you to call me sister."

Yuan Xi heard this, and smiled at Yuan Xing: "My mother passed away early, and it wasn't my elder sister who took care of me. Maybe I won't grow up."

"I always remember my sister's kindness."

When Yuan Xing heard this, she was also quite embarrassed, "What do you do to mention these things, it makes people feel uncomfortable after hearing it."

She took Lu Lingqi's hand and said to Yuan Xi: "Look at you, you found such a good wife, but you don't even buy clothes for them, isn't it too much?"

"I took out my clothes and found that they were okay. I'll find a few more later."

Yuan Xi laughed heartily, and said to Lu Lingqi, "Sister gave you all her wedding clothes."

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi realized that the clothes on her body were expensive, and said with a blushing face, "No need, thank you for your trouble."

Yuan Xing said indifferently: "It's just a few clothes, I don't know when I will get married, but the girl is going to get married soon."

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi became even more coy.

Yuan Xing turned to Yuan Xi and said, "You still remember me, this time I heard that you just returned to Yecheng because of something, and you will live in Youzhou from now on, right?"

"This time, we don't know when we will see each other again."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Yuan Xing hadn't heard about Zhao Yun's affairs yet, seeing Yuan Xi's mysterious appearance, she didn't understand it for a while, so she didn't react until Yuan Xi said about proposing marriage for Zhao Yun, she slightly annoyed: "Okay, you have been Take this matter to heart, and it really made you do it."

"Is it because of General Zilong's good character, or because of other reasons?"

"In this chaotic world, life and death are unpredictable. Even if General Yan Liang encounters an unexpected event, you really have confidence in General Zilong."

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Don't worry, how could I cheat my sister? Of course, General Zilong's character is not good. He is very lucky on the battlefield."

"I believe that sister and him will both live a long life."

Yuan Xing burst out laughing, "Why wasn't your mouth so sweet when you were young?"

"Forget it, anyway, this matter is decided by my father in the end. It seems that it would be good if I can meet with my younger brother often in the future?"

Speaking of which, Yuan Xing took Hong Shi's hand and said, "It's difficult to have both in the world. I'm afraid that if I get married, it will be difficult for us to see each other in the future."

When Hong's hand was pulled up, a white arm was exposed. Yuan Xi and Lu Lingqi's eyes were sharp, and they saw several shocking scars on Hong's arm. The contrast between the dark red scar and the fair complexion was very obvious. .

When Hong woke up, she quickly retracted her hand, covered it with her sleeve, and said in a low voice, "I accidentally fell."

Lu Lingqi and Yuan Xi are both martial arts practitioners, and they are very familiar with the wounds, and they can tell at a glance that these wounds are whip marks, and they were definitely not caused by a fall.

Yuan Xing heard this, sighed slightly, and stopped talking, but Lu Lingqi didn't react, and said angrily: "How is that possible!"

"This is obviously..."

Yuan Xi waved his hand, Lu Lingqi reacted, and quickly shut up, Yuan Xi sighed to the Hong family: "It stands to reason that my branch is not qualified to intervene in the Chugong's family affairs."

After hearing this, Hong's face darkened a little.

Yuan Xi said again: "But Madam, if you have other ideas, you can explain to Sister in private that Sister's business is my business, and I will try my best to do it."

When Hong heard this, a trace of gratitude appeared on his face, and he bowed to Yuan Xi: "Thank you for your concern, my concubine will leave first."

Yuan Xi waited for the Hong family to leave, then turned to Yuan Xing and said, "Sister, did you do it on purpose just now?"

"It's not that I don't want to help, but Xianfu has a heart for me. If I intervene rashly, it will only hurt her."

Yuan Xing heard this, and sighed: "My little brother is smart, but she is also a hard-working person. If I suddenly ask you for help, she will lose face, so I came up with this idea."

"Third brother has become more and more perverse in the past two years, which really makes me worry."

After Yuan Xi heard this, he sneered and said, "I heard that he also suggested marrying sister to Wuhuan to win Shanyu Tadun's support?"

Not long after meeting Yuan Xing, Lu Lingqi realized that the relationship between Yuan Xing and Yuan Xi was unusual, and that they had a much deeper relationship than ordinary family members, and she also had a good impression of Yuan Xing. Now that she heard that Yuan Xing was being used by Yuan Shang, she couldn't help saying angrily: " How can there be such a brother?"

"If I touch it, it will definitely give it a full fist!"

Yuan Xi heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't, the other gentry sons are not like me. If you act hard, you will really beat them to death."

Yuan Xing's eyes showed a strange look, she stretched out her hand, pinching Lu Lingqi's arm, "I heard that the girl is very good at martial arts?"

"I think so, the tiger girl of Jiangmen, Marquis Wen is famous all over the world, how could the daughter she gave birth be so bad?"

Lu Lingqi became more and more complacent, so she heard Yuan Xing say, "How did you fall in love with my little brother?"

Lu Lingqi's face froze, thinking that she couldn't say that she lost two games in a row, could she?

Seeing Lu Lingqi's embarrassed expression, Yuan Xi changed the topic, "What's the matter with the third brother?"

"It stands to reason that after my adoption, Xiansi became the governor of Qingzhou, and Jizhou is obviously reserved for the third brother. What else can he worry about?"

Yuan Xing listened, looked around, and whispered: "I heard that he has eaten Wushi San a lot in the past two years."

"Before and after eating, the temper will be capricious. The Hong family suffered a lot."

When Yuan Xi heard the name Wushi San, he pondered. He remembered that he was drugged by Yuan Shang at the beginning, and according to Cai Zhaoji's analysis, it seemed to be this thing.

Where did Yuan Shang get the five stone powder, and it still has such a great effect?

Could it be given by the alchemist of Taipingdao?
But to say that those who refine Wushisan are all alchemists of the Taiping Taoism, it is not always true. Yuan Shang is the next head of the Yuan family. Some nobles flatter and find a recipe to refine it, thinking that there is nothing wrong with giving it as a gift. .

Although it will be decades later that the consumption of Wushi powder will become the custom of the gentry. At this time, Wushi powder has not yet become popular, but Yuan Shang's level is different from that of ordinary gentry, so it cannot be generalized.

However, in Yuan Xi's heart, he always vaguely felt that there should be something connected in this series of events, but now he doesn't have much information, so he can really see the truth behind it.

He suddenly remembered what Zhen Mi said when he was in Jicheng, and asked, "Are there some gentlemen of the Taiping Dao walking around among the noble girls in Yecheng?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xing asked in surprise, "You know this too?"

"A few people came to the house, but I didn't like it, so they stopped coming."

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "What are they here for, to spread the teachings of Taiping Tao?"

Yuan Xing laughed and said: "How is it possible? It would have been possible ten years ago. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the gentry regarded it as a taboo. If they dare to speak out publicly, they will be arrested immediately."

"They also do some needlework when they come. I remembered that someone mentioned the magical effect of Wushisan to me."

"But at that time, I knew what the third brother did to the Hong family, and I was very displeased with Wushisan, so I drove them away."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi pondered, "Who introduced them when they came to look for sister?"

Yuan Xing thought for a while, "I remember it seems that Mrs. Hong mentioned that there are a few women who do needlework well..."

Her body shook, "Is it possible?"

"No, how come, the Hong family is also a hard-working person, she..."

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily her, maybe Yuan Shang asked her to do it."

"Sister, don't forget, when Yuan Shang invited me to a banquet, it was also a toast for Hong."

After Yuan Xing heard this, she couldn't accept it for a while, "Could it be that the Hong family is hiding it from me...why..."

Yuan Xi sighed: "Everyone has difficulties, maybe she can't help herself."

"Working as a minion for a tiger, but unable to resist, this is also her pitiful and pathetic point."

"That's why I said just now that people can't help themselves if they don't have the heart to help themselves."

"If she really wants to get out of the predicament, she can only do it on her own initiative, but as Yuan Shang's wife, how can she draw a clear line with her so easily?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xing sighed.

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It's not easy for us sisters and brothers to meet each other. Let's not talk about these things. If the Hong family is willing to talk, they will naturally come to find sister."

"Eldest sister is like a mother. I brought Lingqi here this time to let my elder sister have a look. I have a good eye, don't I?"

Lu Lingqi snorted, and Yuan Xing couldn't help laughing: "That's right, it's enough for this child to be your regular wife, but I don't know how you deceived Marquis Wen, and you are willing to let her follow you."

"You have to treat her well."

Under Lu Lingqi's complacent gaze, Yuan Xi hurriedly laughed and said, "It's only natural."

Listening to the two people's conversation, Lu Lingqi rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that Husband... this man's wife, Mrs. Zhen, is very beautiful?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xing pulled Lu Lingqi and said with a smile: "This is true, I'm afraid Jizhou won't be able to find another one."

"I'll know when I see you, but don't worry, Mrs. Zhen is kind-hearted and treats everyone else very well."

Lu Lingqi snorted and said, "I'm not worried, anyway, I have nothing to argue with her."

Yuan Xing had heard Lu Lingqi talk about her child adopting the Lu family earlier, and she thought it was good to be so. In the big family, many things revolved around the inheritance of family property, just look at Yuan Shao's sons.

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I haven't taught sister that my wife is already married."

Yuan Xing also showed joy when she heard this, "Our Yuan family is about to have a baby."

"According to the calculation, apart from the eldest brother who has a daughter, there are no males in the next generation."

"If Mrs. Zhen wants to give birth to a boy, my father will be very happy."

Yuan Xi shook his head, "If it's really like this, I'm afraid Xianfu Xiansi will have something in his heart."

Yuan Xing was silent, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang didn't have male heirs yet, if things went on like this, Yuan Shao would still think of Yuan Xi's son first when looking for someone to adopt in the future.

As a result, the already chaotic competition for Yuan's family property was completely messed up.

She forced a smile and said: "What do you want to do so much, it will be many years later."

"It's me. I don't know when I will get married."

Then the next day, Yuan Shao summoned Yuan Xing to ask her about her wish to marry.
