People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 305 Don't ruin a good thing
With the sound of brisk footsteps, Xun Chen appeared in the Prime Minister's Office. However, after he reported, he was told that the Prime Minister was elsewhere, which made Xun Chen feel helpless.

After thinking for a while, he left in a hurry, as if he was about to leave the Prime Minister's Office.

But before he could walk out, he was stopped by someone. This person was none other than Ju Shou, who had brought him to Xuan Xia.

These two men assisted the prime minister together and had met each other quite often, so it was not surprising that they met now. However, Ju Su's meaningful look made Xun Chen a little confused.

"You are in a hurry, where are you going?" Ju Su bowed with a smile, then stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

Xun Chen also returned the greeting. Although Ju Su looked a little strange, he did not take it too seriously. "Of course I have official business to report to the lord, but the lord is not in the office, so I can only take the initiative to go find him."

Ju Su asked, "What is the matter that requires such a rush?"

Xun Chen said: "My lord wants to prepare for the southern expedition against Yuan Shao, so the preparations here must be reported daily."

Ju Su laughed when he heard this, and then pulled Xun Chen aside: "Preparation for war is not a one-day job, and this war is huge in scale. The court is not in a hurry. It is estimated that it will take three months to complete the preparations. In this case, it doesn't matter if these things are put aside. It's better to wait until the lord comes back."

Xun Chen felt that there was something strange in Ju Su's words, but he didn't know what the question was, so he could only frown and answer: "Of course I know there is no rush. It would be fine if it was just one day, but the lord has been missing for several days in a row. It's not a good thing to have things piled up. It's nothing more than a hard trip for me."

Ju Su was somewhat helpless: "If it's not a big deal, then it's better not to disturb the lord these days."

Hearing this, Xun Chen was even more confused: "Isn't it just a visit to the countryside? I shouldn't bother you, right?"

At this point, Ju Shou could only begin to hint: "If it's just a visit to the countryside, why would it take so long?"

Xun Chen then realized that there was something behind Ju Su's words. After thinking about it, he was suddenly stunned, as if he realized something: "Could it be because of the sensational case of a daughter suing her father a few days ago?"

Ju Su nodded.

Xun Chen was puzzled again: "The case has been closed. Even if the people are somewhat disturbed, there will not be any chaos. Why did the lord leave again?"

Ju Su was silent for a long time and was completely speechless. It seemed that Xun Chen was completely unaware of his real implication.

In this case, I have no choice but to speak clearly.

After taking the document from Xun Chen, Ju Shou reluctantly said, "As the saying goes, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady. My lord has been an adult for a long time but has never been married. Now he has finally found someone he likes. You can't let these things ruin your good fortune."

Xun Chen finally realized what was going on, and then felt embarrassed by his own slowness.

After hearing what Ju Su said, it turned out to be true. Looking back, the prime minister was still single even though he was in his prime. He had only been focusing on his official duties and had ignored this matter, so he had never thought about it.

If this is the case, then it is indeed difficult to disturb him. Although Xuan Xia does not have a crown prince, the prime minister's family affairs are not entirely private matters.

As a leader, if he has a stable family, it will obviously be more conducive to calming people's hearts.

Xun Chen was immediately glad that he was stopped by Ju Shou, otherwise he would have been in great trouble.

If it weren't for something particularly urgent, there was really no need to disturb the Prime Minister.

Although the case of a daughter suing her father caused a big stir, Xun Chen had been busy with official business these days and had not paid too much attention to it, but only knew the general idea.

Now when I think back, the woman involved in this case.
A woman's name suddenly flashed through his mind. If it was her, she would be worthy of the name.

"But what about that woman from the Cai family?" Xun Chen became curious at this moment.

Ju Shou smiled but did not answer. At this moment, not saying anything was the answer.

Xun Chen understood what was happening upon seeing this.

"Cai Yong was killed by Wang Yun in the Han court. If his daughter can have children in Xuanxia, ​​it can be regarded as a trick of fate."

After sighing like this, Xun You left shaking his head.

Ju Su smiled and followed.

Seeing Xu Chen "going to the countryside", Ju Shou felt greatly relieved. If this young and energetic guy didn't make any more moves, he would really suspect whether his master had any special hobbies.

At the same time, in Wangjia Village, the villagers were all shocked by the arrival of the Prime Minister. They were also embarrassed. The case of Wang Zhen suing his father was a hot topic, and the villagers were the most unacceptable. Even though Wang Zhen won the case, the villagers were actually the most angry.

Originally, when Wang Zhen returned, the villagers would inevitably blame and target him. The imperial laws could judge right and wrong, but the people's thoughts were beyond the imperial court's control.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Zhen will even be scolded by his fellow villagers for the rest of his life.

But before they could take action, news came back that the Prime Minister personally commended Wang Zhen, arranged a job for her and promised to be her future witness. This silenced everyone.

Now that the prime minister has said these words, no one will dare to have any objection to Wang Zhen.

Not only that, the villagers also wanted to keep Wang Zhen well. After all, not everyone could receive such love from the prime minister.

Moreover, no one dared to force Wang Zhen to marry anymore. Her marriage would be witnessed by the prime minister himself, and no one had the courage to slap the prime minister in the face.

As for the merchant groom, he simply kept silent. He didn't even dare to mention the huge betrothal gift he had paid. He completely disappeared without a trace and didn't dare to mention the matter again.

After this, Wang Zhen was finally freed and no longer had any worries.

The only ones who have an awkward status in the village are the Cai sisters.

Although the villagers did not dare to say anything to Wang Zhen, Cai Wenji became a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their sides. All the problems were caused by this outsider, Cai Wenji.

When the case was over, Cai Wenji returned to the village. Her already simple thatched hut had been demolished by the villagers. Cai Bo and Cai Zhenji, who was holding her baby, were surrounded by the villagers, silently enduring endless condemnation and insults.

The villagers could not tolerate such restless outsiders. Their behavior disrupted the original order of the village.

These things should not be reported to the government. Every village has its own rules, and they obviously broke them.

After Cai Wenji came back, the villagers immediately drove them out of the village. The Cai sisters could no longer stay in the place they had finally found to live.

However, Cai Wenji had already prepared herself for this outcome, so she packed up with her sister and Cai Bo and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, a person's visit disrupted everything.

No one expected that the prime minister would come to this small mountain village in person, and what embarrassed the villagers was that the prime minister seemed to be coming for Cai Wenji.

After the prime minister came to the village, although he did not blame the villagers for anything, he ordered people to clean up the hut for the Cai sisters. This attitude made the villagers realize that they seemed to have done something wrong.

It is not a good idea to offend a person who is favored by the prime minister, but it is obvious that they have offended him to death.

What made the villagers even more worried was that they discovered that the Prime Minister had more than just ordinary favor for Cai Wenji. In the following days, the Prime Minister would come to this small hut every day to spend time with Cai Wenji.

They would see the two of them strolling and chatting in the rice fields, and hear their voices talking loudly by the river. In the mountains, the woman would even pluck the strings of a zither and play elegant music for the man.

The villagers saw such a beautiful scene, but they said nothing.

The more the prime minister treated Cai Wenji like this, the more the villagers wanted to slap themselves hard in the face.

If they had known this would happen, they would never have treated the Cai sisters like that. It was too late to regret now.

Fortunately, after a few days, the torture of the villagers was finally coming to an end.

Along the country road, there are endless fields of golden rapeseed flowers, and the air is filled with intoxicating fragrance.

Just as he was about to return to the village, the young man in white black clothes stopped and looked at the pretty woman beside him.

Although the woman was dressed in plain clothes, it still couldn't conceal her gorgeous temperament. This temperament did not come from her aristocratic family background, but was more of a spontaneous temperament influenced by her talent.

Perhaps this is what it means to be a man of culture and knowledge, and it is not surprising that she, the most talented woman in the Han Dynasty, has such temperament.

Xu Chen smiled slightly: "I originally wanted to help you out, but I was a step too late. Although the hut has been repaired, you are already awkward with the villagers. I am afraid that you will have trouble getting along with them in the future. If you are willing, how about I arrange a new place for you?"
