Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 68

Yuan Xing, the daughter of Yuan's parents, is half a month older than Yuan Xi, but she is still unmarried.

She looks soft and gentle, and her demeanor is quite the demeanor of a lady.

She was sitting kneeling opposite Wu Zhao who looked embarrassed, and now she turned her face and stared at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi's heart trembled, he quickly knelt on the ground, and said: "I have seen my sister."

Yuan Xing just bowed profusely, her voice choked up, "It's good to be back safely."

Yuan Xi was moved in his heart. Because of personality problems in his predecessor, he never went out of the house, but he met Yuan Xing a lot, and the relationship between the two has always been good.

He heard the complaint in Yuan Xing's tone, and knew that Yuan Xing must have felt very uncomfortable when he left, so he could only ask again: "I made my sister worry."

Only then did Yuan Xing show satisfaction on his face, and smiled through his tears: "You still have a conscience."

She pointed to Wu Zhao and said, "I heard that you were going to see your father, but I couldn't wait to hear how you've been doing in the past three years, so you asked your maidservant to come over, don't you blame me?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Of course it's not strange, but my sister guessed one thing wrong, Wu Zhao is not my maid."

"Huh?" Yuan Xing looked surprised, and looked at Wu Zhao carefully again, as if she understood something, the smile on her face grew stronger.

Seeing that Yuan Xing's misunderstanding deepened, Yuan Xi quickly explained: "She is not my concubine Ji either, we are more like...friends."

He briefly talked about Wu Zhao's background, and said, "Wu Zhao saved me on the battlefield, and I respect her very much."

Yuan Xing rolled her eyes and said, "I just heard her talk about the matter between the two of you. Wu Zhao's life experience is very miserable. His family members have passed away and he is homeless."

"According to her previous status as a servant, being your concubine should not be regarded as wronging her."

"If you don't accept her, do you want to keep her by your side without giving her a title?"

"Don't you despise her as a widow?"

Yuan Xi smiled wryly and said, "Why does my sister give me problems as soon as we meet?"

"Wu Zhao has a talent for managing the world. In my eyes, she is much better than ordinary noble women."

"We'll talk about it later, how are you, my sister?"

"Father hasn't let you marry yet?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xing said helplessly, "Look, which pot is not open and which one is not open. Why has my mouth become so sharp after three years of absence?"

Wu Zhao knelt aside, listening to Yuan Xi's words, with complex and difficult feelings surging in his heart.

Along the way, she gradually understood that Yuan Xi might really be a... gentleman.

In Yuan Xi's capacity, if she asks her to sleep with her, I'm afraid she has no ability to refuse.

But Yuan Xi always treated each other with courtesy, and regarded Wu Zhao as a friend like Qu Yi and Dong Zhao.

The two spent half a month in the narrow carriage, but Yuan Xi endured it all the time and did not do anything out of line.

The children of the aristocratic family are romantic in poetry and wine, and they always come to the maids immediately and leave as soon as they are called, without asking their wishes at all.

The gentry treat civilians like pigs and dogs, and women have a lower status. For them, commoner women are no different from goods.

But Yuan Xi treated Wu Zhao differently.

Respect, this is something that Wu Zhao could hardly detect from the gentleman men in the past.

When Yuan Shang went to see his mother, Mrs. Liu, his face was very ugly.

He talked about the conversation between Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi, and finally said: "Second brother is much more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's face darkened, and she said coldly, "This little bastard has a very bad heart. How did he guess the chaos in Yecheng?"

"I have hinted several times to my husband that the chaos in Yecheng has something to do with Yuan Xi, but my husband doesn't believe it."

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Mother said that too deliberately, how could a son turn against his father, no one would take such words seriously."

"I took advantage of this incident and left Beixin City alone and helpless several times. I never thought that my second brother would survive."

Through his mother, Mrs. Liu, Yuan Shang learned of the Ye City bet between Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi.

But he didn't doubt it at all, instead he said to Yuan Shao that since the second brother is so determined, it means that he either has the advice of an expert, or has the ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

If this is the case, the second brother will definitely not be in danger if he chooses to go to Beixincheng.

to kill.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao thought it made sense, and he didn't care as much about Beixincheng as before.

Yuan Shang sneered in his heart at the time, even if he was wrong and Yuan Xi was killed by Gongsun Zan's army, it could only show that the second brother was out of luck and misjudged, what else could Yuan Shao do to himself?
Now that Yuan Xi came back safely, Yuan Shang muttered in his heart, does the second brother really have the ability to predict the future?
In his mind, Yuan Xi's threat has already begun to rise!

However, Yuan Shang, as Yuan Shaozi's favorite son, has already controlled Yuan Shao's character to death.

Yuan Shao's bottom line is that it doesn't matter if the three sons fight among themselves, they can be tempered instead, as long as they don't cooperate with the enemy and don't endanger their lives.

But Yuan Shang has always had a vague premonition that Yuan Xi is likely to threaten him in the future!
Yuan Shang didn't know where this feeling came from. Several counselors also said that he thought too much, but Yuan Shang always felt that something was wrong.

It's hard to imagine that the Yecheng Rebellion was a guesswork, no strategist had predicted this before!

If this matter is spread and other people know about it, maybe someone will take a fancy to Yuan Xi and secretly take refuge in him!

In the past few years, Yuan Shang has always regarded Yuan Tan as his biggest opponent, eroding the opponent's power step by step, and never paid attention to the second brother who left.

But Yuan Shang discovered that his second elder brother was not a cowardly person to be manipulated by him. On the contrary, he secretly let himself be deflated as soon as they met!

Yuan Shang hated this feeling of being unable to control the situation.

You must firmly suppress the second brother and get the other party's handle, otherwise you are not qualified to be the head of the Yuan family!
Where to start, is the second brother's weakness?

The Zhen family's marriage?

Two thousand soldiers?

Xuzhou's bet?
The disappearing Gaolan?
Can there be a divorce between the eldest brother and the second brother?

Among my subordinates, are there any spies of my second brother?
It's time for a big cleanup!
His brain began to move rapidly, and his eyes became more and more fierce.

I still have a hole card that is useless, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi don't even know that Gao Lan sent it out premeditatedly!

A smile appeared on Yuan Shang's face, if something happened to Gao Lan, the second brother would be in big trouble.

Whoever fights with me will fail in the end!
In the future, father's counselors and generals will all be mine!
Those prophecies about the second brother will be completely smashed by me!
Only I can unify the North!Unify the world!

Just be an idle son honestly!
Yuan Xi and Yuan Xing talked about the scenery and customs of Beixin City. He stayed there for three years, so naturally he talked more vividly than Wu Zhao who only stayed for a month.

Yuan Xing listened with wide eyes, and exclaimed: "The scenery in the North is so interesting, it's a pity I can't see it."

Yuan Xi smiled wryly and said: "Youzhou is a good place, the land is fertile, but there are too many soldiers and bandits, and it is difficult to grow food, so I often can't get enough to eat."

"Speaking of which, I eat a lot. I ate some on the way today, but I'm still a little hungry."

Yuan Xing was a little distressed: "Who made you and your father quarrel, it's too early for dinner, I have a small stove here, let someone cook it for you?"

She asked the maid to ask, and then sighed: "Unfortunately, there are only some white flour with sesame oil left, but these things can only be used to make some bread."

"There are also some extremely rare candies. It is said that Jiangdong only made them a few years ago, and they are very popular among the gentry."

Yuan Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "These few things are enough. If you don't make noodles, you can also make something else."
