The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 100
After hearing Zhen Yan's words, Zhang's face suddenly became a little dignified.

If, as the son said, the new county magistrate is indeed the son of Yuan Jizhou, then this matter is really not easy to solve.

In recent years, the main force of the black mountain bandit Zhang Yan has entrenched Zhongshan County and Changshan County, and has been corrupted by the Zhen family. Once this matter is found out by the Yuan family, even if they know that the Zhen family is being threatened, no one can guess what the outcome will be.

One is not good, but it is not impossible to wipe out the whole family.

There were wolves before and tigers after, and now the Zhen family is really in a predicament.

There was silence between mother and son for a long time, but Zhen Yan said: "Mother, the Feiyan thief has repeatedly threatened our Zhen family, and Mr. Yuan has also come to Wuji himself. If it doesn't work, I might as well disclose the current situation and situation of the Zhen family to Mr. Yuan, and ask him to help send troops to destroy the Yan thieves. By then, we can not only get rid of the dilemma, but also ensure the safety of the Zhen family in the future."

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang interrupted him and said, "Then what if Mrs. Yuan not only does not help, but uses this as an aid to the enemy to punish my Zhen family?"

"This"

Zhen Yan thought for a while and replied weakly: "It's not enough. After all, we were forced. Besides, Yuan Jizhou has an old relationship with his father, so he shouldn't be so unfeeling. A few years ago, Yuan Jizhou inspected Jizhou's officials. Passing by Wuji, he also expressed his intention to marry our Zhen family, Zhuo's son will marry his younger sister to pass the family."

"Nonsense! What kind of person is Yuan Jizhou? He is the lord of Hebei, a hero. You can take it seriously if you say a few words? Heroes always care about profits and disregard feelings. Even if your father has an old relationship with him, he is already In ancient times, do you think Yuan Jizhou would disregard his hegemony because of a dead person? You are so confused!"

Zhen Yan frowned when she heard the words, and said sadly: "Then what should we do? Do we just continue to look around and feel wronged? Let's be frank and honest. If we are really caught by Yuan Shi, we will really have no way out!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's complexion flickered, gloomy and uncertain, very ugly.

After a while, she sighed weakly, shook her head and said: "This matter is too important, and with our wisdom, it may be difficult to think about it thoroughly. Yan'er, let someone call your little sister over to see her." Is there any way to resolve the current crisis of the Zhen family."

Zhen Yan was taken aback for a moment when she heard the words, and then her heart was clear, she kept nodding her head and said: "Yes, yes, my little sister has always been very wise. She has been hiding behind the scenes to advise her mother all these years. Our Zhen family can become what it is today. Most of the credit should go to my little sister, I will send someone to call her right away!"

On the edge of the pond in the backyard, the snow is white, and the shallow water turns to ice. A woman wrapped in a purple fur jacket is carefully moving in lotus steps on the pond.

She walks gracefully, like a fairy and picturesque, and the close-fitting purple pleated skirt outlines her graceful and well-proportioned curves, captivating the mind and soul.

This is really a beautiful woman. She is swimming in the lake and playing on the ice, like a landscape painting in black and white. It's like the "toughness" and "stiffness" that look at thousands of troops and horses galloping on the battlefield, and are still happy.
"Miss." An old and kind voice slowly came from the side of the pool, interrupting her who was like a fairy swimming in the ice.

"What's the matter?" Zhen Mi turned her head slightly, looked at the house manager who came to call her, and smiled peacefully, as the spring blossomed for a while, as if it could melt away the frost and snow in winter.

The old butler had a kind face, looked at the child who had been sensible since he was a child, and said in a naive voice: "The master and wife are cooking wine in the side courtyard pavilion, and I specially asked the old servant to come and invite the young lady to enjoy the snow together."

Zhen Mi nodded, then sighed lightly, seeming a little melancholy.

Tasting wine and appreciating the snow is probably just an excuse. There must be something in the family that makes the mother and brother uncertain.

"Uncle Sun, go over there first, and tell my mother and elder brother for me. I'll pack up and change clothes, and I'll be there soon."

"Miss, hurry up, I'm afraid Madam and the others won't be able to wait too long."

After all, the butler bowed and went first.

Zhen Mi raised her head, looked at the lightly falling white snow in the sky, and slowly stretched out her bare hand, letting the snowflakes fall on her white palm, it was melted by the body temperature in an instant, her beautiful eyes stared at it for a long time, gradually revealing the beauty of the city. smile.

"Mother, brother, do you call me?" Not long after, Zhen Mi appeared in front of Mrs. Zhang and Zhen Yan, her charming words were respectful and soft, but she felt comfortable no matter how she listened to them.

Seeing her beloved daughter, Zhang's eyes were filled with smiles, and she hurriedly raised her hand to call Zhen Mi to come over, let her kneel and sit beside her, and said, "Mi Er, come quickly, come to mother's side! Hehe, recently There is a shortage of goods at the cloth shop in the west of the city, but it makes you go back and forth to Changshan Mountain several times in a row. It is really heartbreaking for your mother, how is it? Are you tired of your good daughter?"

Zhen Mi smiled subtly, shook her head and said, "It's my daughter's wish that I can help share the worries of my mother and brother, so why bother to talk about it? Mother's words make my daughter very shy."

Zhen Yan was amused when she heard the words: "Yes, yes, yes, what my sister said is true, it's all about my own family, what are you doing so politely, elder brother happens to have a difficult matter here, younger sister, come quickly, and help elder brother as a staff officer."

"uh-huh!"

Mrs. Zhang cleared her throat, and gave Zhen Yan a dissatisfied look, with a slight look in her eyes.

Zhen Yan was blushed immediately, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

On the other hand, Zhen Mi was calm and composed, and smiled to help Zhen Yan out of the siege: "Brother, if you have any difficulties, you may as well talk about it. If my younger sister can help, I will do my best."

Zhen Yan took a sneak peek at Mrs. Zhang, seeing that Mrs. Zhang was normal, then sighed, and spoke slowly, but explained the current dilemma of the Zhen family to Zhen Mi in detail.

After finishing speaking, the whole hall was suddenly silent.

Zhen Mi sat quietly beside Mrs. Zhang, frowning her charming black brows, as if she was quite worried, her serious thinking was beautiful, which made people feel pitiful.

When I was young, I heard Mrs. Zhang sigh and said in a low voice: "Mi'er, the son of Yuan Jizhou came to Ren Wuji to take charge of the county affairs. Heishan flying swallows have repeatedly threatened us, and we dare not go against him. This time the Zhen family will be fine." I am really in trouble, you have always been smart and wise, can you find a way to solve this crisis?"

Zhen Mi sighed softly, shook her head and said: "The Yuan family is an official, and Heishan is a thief. There has never been a reason for soldiers and robbers to stand side by side since ancient times. If my mother wants to please the two families, it is like eating salt to quench her thirst. If you neglect for a long time, on the contrary, you will offend both parties, and there will be disasters."

Mrs. Zhang nodded when she heard the words: "Your elder brother and I also thought of this, so I asked you to come here, and I want you to help out with ideas."

Zhen Mi's face was solemn, and she thought again and again: "Heishan is a thief, and he relies on his strength. Instead of being unreasonable, if this matter is to be resolved, the knife must still be on Yuan's body. I just don't know how the new third son Yuan is. Do you have the ability to protect my Zhen family from Zhang Yan's revenge."

Zhen Yan hurriedly said: "I have already sent people to Yecheng to inquire about Yuan Shang. Let's not talk about his temperament, but he definitely has skills. It is said that after the Battle of Guandu, this person led his troops to the Central Plains alone, and Cao Jun fought repeatedly, and finally not only returned safely, but also took a lot of advantages during the period.
If you think that your brother will save you, if you fight against Zhang Yan, you may not be invincible. "

Zhen Mi thought for a while, and said: "Whether he is good-natured or not, and whether he has the ability or not, we have to figure it out by ourselves. Big brother, didn't you just say that he intends to condescend to pay homage to the mansion and make friends with big families in the county? Let's Let’s take this opportunity to take a good look at him before making a conclusion.”

Zhen Yan nodded and said, "Then what do you think, little girl?"
"The other party is the son of the Yuan family. Let's not trust you too much. Eldest brother might as well take the initiative and hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow night. We invite famous family members from the county to come and sincerely invite Mr. Yuan as our honored guest. Make friends with the Yuan family, and on the other hand, you can also take the opportunity to test and see what kind of person this third son Yuan is, so that you can plan in the future."

Zhen Yan turned her head when she heard the words, and looked at Mrs. Zhang questioningly, only to see Mrs. Zhang nodded heavily at him.

"Okay, my little sister's words are very kind! Just follow my little sister's words!"

*****************
"The Patriarch of the Zhen Mansion invited me to the banquet?" Yuan Shang was stunned, and told him about Pang Ji while looking puzzled.

Pang Ji smiled like a flower on his face, nodded and said: "That's right, when the third son went to the school grounds to inspect the Wuji Camp today, the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yan, came to invite him in person, but unfortunately he didn't meet him."

Yuan Shang touched his chin, thought carefully for a while, and said: "Last time you went to find him and said that we would choose a day to pay homage to the mansion, but the other party didn't make any movement, and he was fine, and suddenly invited us to dinner, there is no good feast , there is no good seat, there must be something hidden in it."

Pang Ji smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Third Young Master, you are worrying too much. As you are, it is only natural that the Zhen family wants to invite you to a banquet and take the opportunity to make friends. Why do you want to hide the truth? Besides, you haven't always wanted the Zhen family to support you. Do we have money? Now is a good opportunity, Sangong must not let it go, besides"

Speaking of this, Pang Ji touched his clean sleeves casually, and said sadly: "Besides, this subordinate is really a little shy, if you don't hurry to find the Zhen family, if you want to try the case again, the subordinate really can't afford it." gone."

Yuan Shang thought for a while, and then said: "Prostitute, you said that the Zhen family hosted a banquet, could it be that you saw that we wanted to blackmail him, so he resorted to this trick, gagged our mouths with food, and made us unreasonable? , I’m sorry to open my mouth to ask them to advance the money for you?”

Pang Ji was stunned when he heard the words, then he was surprised and said: "Master Jing, you said that, this subordinate is really a little bit uncertain."

Yuan Shang closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "In Zhen's mansion, there must be someone who is an expert who will give advice, so it's a trick to turn against the guest."

Pang Ji's face twitched, and he forced a smile and said: "Master, it's the opposite, we are the guests. But we still have to be careful, son, shall we go to this banquet?"

"Go, of course you have to pay! If you want to cover our mouths with a meal, the Zhen family will be too small for my face. It's my wisdom. Who said you can't have both? My son Not only bear's paws, but also fish, and shark's fin."

Pang Ji's confidence immediately increased when he heard this, and he cupped his hands and said, "Young master is both brave and resourceful, and my lord is true. In such a dangerous situation, Ji would like to accompany you through the whole journey. Food and money, we want both!"

"necessary!"
