Lu's relatives

Chapter 385
Qin Xu's "trick" was seen through, and Zhen Jian's "favorability" towards this arrogant kid in his eyes had infinitely approached zero.Coupled with Qin's aggressiveness this time and Lu Bu's silence, the old Zhentou almost gave up the strategy of making good friends with Qingzhou, and was ready to watch Lu Bu's "defeat" in Qin Xu, a "little man who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth". "Hand up.

Unexpectedly, the two precious daughters of his family did not have the same heart as his father.Even from Zhen Jian's point of view, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi seemed to be playing with fire this time.Knowing that it was someone Qin's trick, but rushing to post it, this stubbornness made the already distraught Zhen Jian, and the already ashen expression on his wrinkled old face even more unpleasant.

The second daughter, Zhen Jiang, is like this. Although Zhen Jian is also surprised, she can somewhat understand it.My precious daughter has been very assertive since she was a child, and this matter is related to Zhen Jiang's lifelong affairs, so it's easy to find someone who can catch her eye. If Mao rashly breaks off with Lu Bu, it is not surprising that Zhen Jiang will be unwilling.But what happened to Xiaosi Zhen Mi this time?Knowing that they are sisters, there is no need to get involved with Zhen Jiang in this matter.Could it be that he really believed Qin Xu's words?

"Father" and "daughter"?What about it?There is a lot of gossip in the big family, Zhen Jian has lived a sixty years, what has not been seen?Based on Zhen Jian's experience, she would not be optimistic about this so-called "father-daughter" relationship without any blood relationship.In addition, I misunderstood Zhen Jiang's explanation when the second daughter Zhen Jiang was flirting with Qin Xu at the banquet, and the rumored Qin Xu's "special hobby" for this kind of little girl who has not yet grown up. Thinking of the family at all costs, this time I couldn't help but feel a little bit of love for my daughter as an old father, and I would never rest assured that Zhen Mi and Qin Xu would get involved.

no!It must be that Qin thief didn't know what tricks he used on his daughter to make Zhen Mi, who had only met each other once, so defenseless in the face of Qin Xu's sinister intentions!Zhen Jian gritted her teeth secretly, making up her mind that no matter what, she would never let Qin Xu succeed!

"Father?" Seeing Zhen Jian frowning and sneering for a while, Zhen Jiang couldn't figure out what was wrong with her father, and only thought that Zhen Jian was still thinking about how to balance, so she frowned and called Zhen Jian With a sound, he said: "As Daddy said before, now Hou Wen has not expressed his position, that is, he has not made friends with my Zhen family, but at least he has not expressly refused. And the elder brother has the Wei family as a hindrance to Cao Cao, so it will be difficult in a short time. There is a certain letter, the more this drags on, the more detrimental it will be to my Zhen family. Although Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are incompetent, they will eventually detect my Zhen family's intentions. If we don't make a decision in time, we will have to More and more passive. And if both sides are unfavorable and rush back to Hebei..."

"Jiang'er is ten times stronger than your brothers, but I hate being a man!" Zhen Jiang's words made Zhen Jian silent for a while.Zhen Jian didn't know the reason for this.A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor the descendants of the Yuan family are, they are supported by the four generations and three fathers. It is not easy to kill the Zhen family, but it is too easy to make the Zhen family unable to get along on the ground in Hebei. up.As soon as this idea came out, Zhen Jian, who was suffocating in his heart, gradually calmed down, but one side was the great career of the Zhen family, and the other was the life of the two daughters. This exclamation for the first time made Zhen Kun, who was standing behind, blush.While I was still thinking about how to deal with Lu Bu for my father Zhen Jian, my little sister had already started thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.This is the gap!
"Father, you don't have to say that!" Zhen Jiang seemed to have heard Zhen Jian's similar words too much, and his face remained unchanged. Thinking about it, Qin Xu's proposal this time was not entirely for some special reason. The land of Hebei was torn apart because of Yuan Shao's sudden death, and the two sons were incompetent. As for the benefits of owning the three states of Hebei, everyone is very clear in their hearts. Naturally, Wen Hou will not sit and watch others peeping at the side of his bed. The reason why he puts on such a posture now may be the rise of the past two years. Too fast, insufficient background, unstable foundation, and no family like my Zhen family to help, so I dare not move lightly! Second, it is because Dad is too anxious! Waiting for the heroes of the world, naturally bloody, I won't be bullied by others and remain unmoved. According to what my daughter said before, Qin Xu's purpose at that time was to leave a buffer time for the two families, and what happened this time is A test!"

"Testing? Hmph! Qin Xu, who was born as a domestic servant and a pig like a dog, dares to use my Zhen family daughter as a temptation?" Zhen Jian still kept his mouth shut. Judah refused to give in.

"Father!" Zhen Jiang, who had complained a little about Zhen Jian just now because of his own affairs, was still a little flushed at the moment, seeing that her father was still holding on to this position, the corner of her mouth slightly curled up, and said with a smile "Daddy, it's better to say less in the future. Didn't you always tell us to be cautious in words and deeds? This is Linzi. Maybe now that Daddy just finished speaking, then Xiang Wenhou and Qin Zhongming already know about it." !"

"Huh!" Although Zhen Jian was a little embarrassed by his daughter's accusation, he finally kept his mouth shut.

"Qin Xu is absolutely not to be underestimated!" Seeing that Zhen Jian was no longer acting like an old child, Zhen Jiang paused with a smile, and he was no longer entangled with his father. He changed the subject and said, "Qin Xu's background is a mystery. He is not known to the world, but he is the chief secretary of the inner palace since he was a child, and he has climbed to such a high position within two years. Although he has Lu Bu's help, if he does not have some means, it is absolutely impossible! And daddy, don't forget, you said The name of this Zhuzi, but even people like Cao Cao, remember it on the side of their robe sleeves, and never dare to forget it! Therefore, if Mi'er has such a "foster father", it will actually be very important to my Zhen family. There is no damage to reputation, and it will not affect Mi'er's life in the future. And as far as her daughter knows, there are four beauties in Qin Xu's mansion now, all of whom have "characteristic" tempers. As long as Mi'er keeps up with this The four of you should have nothing to worry about your father."

"Jiang'er, if you really want to do this, it will be hard for you!" Zhen Jian did not deny Zhen Jiang's words, but sighed heavily, and said: "If this is just to make my Zhen family soft, If you don't say anything about being a father, the big deal is to let go of this old face. But Jiang Er, have you ever thought that if Qin Xu got the trick this time, it's not just that your eldest brother represented our Zhen family's plan at Cao Cao's place, all of which were in vain. Say, Jiang Er, how will you face Lu Bu in the future?"

"Daddy! You're talking about Mi'er, what are you doing with your daughter? At worst, my daughter promises you that she will never shame the Zhen family!" After hearing what Zhen Jian said, Zhen Jiang certainly understood what her father meant. .If Zhen Mi becomes Qin Xu's daughter, she must become the junior of Lu Bu who is Qin Xu's father-in-law.At the beginning, when Zhen Mi and Qin Xu were planning to get married, they wanted to make the Zhen family face the joke of the sisters and servant Weng in the eyes of others!This time it's even worse, if it happens, it will almost eliminate all "possibility" between Zhen Jiang and Lu Bu!After all, Weng and his son-in-law married sisters together, so you can find other reasons to infer. After all, this is nothing new. Even Lu Bu and Qin Xu, when they were forced to marry by Cao Bao and Mi Zhu, they also pinched their noses and did similar things. .The eldest doesn't laugh at the second.For the Zhen family, it was still within the controllable range.But if Zhen Jiang has a little "can't help it", and Lu Buwan, who has a bad reputation, also pushes the boat along, will the sisters still be grandchildren?Brother-in-law or son-in-law?The sister-in-law is still the mother-in-law, this account is really difficult to settle.Lu Bu and Qin Xu are nothing. Anyway, the Weng and his son-in-law don't have a good reputation, but as one of the seven wealthy merchants of the Han Dynasty, the Zhen family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has really become a laughing stock in the world.Zhen Jian, who is the head of the Zhen family, might be hated to death by the people in the clan, right?Therefore, Zhen Jian was worried about his precious daughter in name, but in fact he was secretly reminding Zhen Jiang's words, which made Zhen Jiang's originally calm eyes flash a bit of embarrassment that could not be concealed.

"Oh? Since both Jiang'er and Mi'er said so, could it be that there is a way to solve this dead situation? Tell me quickly and let Dad check it out for you!" Seeing that because of his father's words, the relationship between The atmosphere was a bit tense, but with his own sister on the one hand and his own father on the other, Zhen Kun couldn't bear the silence. After getting a "vicious" look from Zhen Jian, he hurriedly broke the embarrassing situation and asked.

"Second brother is right! This is indeed an unsolvable dead end!" Zhen Mi gave her second brother a blank look and said, "But..."

"Huh? But what? Jiang Er, tell me quickly!" Zhen Jian also knew that what he said just now did not seem like what a father should say to his daughter. Seeing Zhen Jiang open his mouth now, he pretended to be doing something As if nothing happened, he asked.

"There is no other, the sages have a saying, poverty leads to change, change leads to success, and mastery leads to success! It's just a change!" After all, it is his father, and Zhen Jiang also knows his father's concerns, and said lightly: "Mi'er is not a child since she was a child. Are you obsessed with rhythm! In today’s world, the only one who is proficient in this way can be called the highest is Cai Yong, Cai Zhonglang, a great scholar in China. I heard that Cai Zhonglang is in Qingzhou now, and he was appointed by Wen Hou as the grand priest of Jixia Academy. Why don’t you let Mi My son worshiped at Cai Zhonglang's knee, and only said to the outside world that he was loved by Cai Zhonglang and recognized him as his granddaughter. In this way, Mi'er's wish to learn piano skills can be fulfilled, and secondly, it can be regarded as a workaround, and it will surely become the same thing a turning point."

"Cai Yong? Cai Zhonglang? That's right! Why didn't you think of it as a father?" Zhen Jian heard Cai Yong's name from Zhen Jiang's mouth. Even if he understood Zhen Jiang's intentions, he couldn't help but feel a little bit different about his precious daughter. Appreciate it.

Cai Yong!This is a great god!Not only was he once a leader in the literary world, but he also had a very high seniority among scholars. Even people like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had to behave like juniors when they met.If it is really because of Zhen Mi that they formed a "good relationship" with Cai Yong, for the Zhen family, it would be a wonderful thing that fell from the sky.Not only can it greatly increase the prestige of the family that manages the "low business" of merchants, but it is also equivalent to a "counterattack" against Qin Xu's unreasonable demands on this guy.Not to mention counting at one stroke, but after careful calculation by Zhen Jian, the Zhen family has made money this time.

"It's just... I just heard that Cai Zhonglang is only obsessed with the academy because of his old age. Although he is in Linzi, he seldom goes out of the mountains. If I rashly make such a request, will Cai Zhonglang agree?" Zhen Kun saw his father and the two All the younger sisters showed smiles on their faces, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Second brother, have you forgotten that Cai Zhonglang's daughter is Qin Xuping's wife Cai Yan?" Zhen Jiang's mouth curled up slightly, drawing a charming smile, and said: "Then Qin Xu wants the younger sister to be his daughter?" , to be the elders of more than a dozen of us brothers and sisters? Our Zhen family can't be pushed around by others at will! This time, we will also pose a difficult problem for him. As for whether Cai Zhonglang will agree or not, he will naturally worry about us! "

"Father's words, second brother, I have a deep understanding now! If you are a man, the land of Hebei will never fly out of your palm!" Even if Zhen Kun has never seen the world much, he understands now The meaning of Zhen Jiang's "flexible" words just now.That's right, you, Qin Xu, want Zhen Mi to be your daughter. It's easy, the Zhen family agreed, but the condition is that you must worship at Cai Yong's knee first.In this way, the final outcome looks the same, and someone from Qin has taken advantage of it.But there is such an extra thing in the middle, but in essence, the Zhen family has gained a lot in this matter. Not to mention, Zhen Jiang, the planner, also has a hook that can be said!Cai Yong and Wang Yun have been entangled for a lifetime, and their seniority is naturally equal. Lu Bu's concubine Diaochan is Wang Yun's adopted daughter, but she also learns piano from Cai Yan, which can be regarded as a kind of master-student friendship; but Cai Yong's son-in-law But he is also Lu Bu's son-in-law; from this point of view, at the very least, if Lu Bu is really "calculated" into the pomegranate skirt by Zhen Jiang in the future, then there will be Cai Yong, who is already separated from Lu Bu's seniority, at least the resistance will will be much smaller.It has to be said that Zhen Jiang's scheming is as exquisite as Linglong's seven orifices.

"Ha! It's time for Qin Xu to have a headache!" Seeing that the matter was "solved" by Zhen Jiang, and his father and two younger sisters looked good again, Zhen Kun also said with a smile.

Qin Xu really has a headache!But it wasn't because of Zhen Jiang's calculations.

For Cai Yong, who is about to be promoted to be a grandfather, this kind of trivial matter is just a matter of Qin Xu's words.The older you get, the easier it is to feel lonely. Because of what happened to Dong Zhuo, the stubborn old man's family basically lost all their close relatives. The only ones around him are Cai Yan, the calm only daughter and his unreliable son-in-law who is away all day. With Qin Xu here, this feeling was naturally stronger, and he had to stay in the Jixia Academy for a long time, teaching some school-age children.But now that his daughter is pregnant, and Qin Xu has "made" a granddaughter, he has already seen through the morals of the world, envious of other old men who can take care of their grandchildren and take care of their grandchildren, of course. Easy to talk about.Zhen Jiang, who doesn't know the true meaning here, is naturally hard to figure out.

Qin Xu's headache now is his other father-in-law!Zhen Jiang kept warming his mouth, Boss Lu, who is in charge of his own army!

At the banquet for Zhen Jian's family that day, Qin Xu really stole the limelight, and he also succeeded in currying favor with his real old mother-in-law. Very satisfied!

But every gain is bound to be a loss, this is an eternal truth!After taking good care of the old mother-in-law, it is inevitable to make the old father-in-law unhappy.What's more, because he didn't "reject" Zhen Jiang's kindness in time at the banquet at that time, he was treated unfairly by his own family's old man, who was already not very good-tempered.So much so that in the next few days, Lu Bu picked Qin Xu's nose and eyes in everything he did. In the end, he didn't know what the world's most powerful general had thought, and ordered Qin Xu to assist Sima Zang of Qingzhou Hong, supervised and "guided" matters related to reclaiming wasteland outside the city and rushing to spring plowing.

God's poor!Qin has been a typical rice bug in his two lives.A typical representative of four bodies not working and not distinguishing five grains.People who can't even tell the five grains clearly, go to "instruct" the spring plowing experts who have plowed the fields for several lifetimes. Isn't this obviously making a joke?Fortunately, someone from Qin understood clearly that no matter where it is placed, it is a big taboo to guide experts and laymen. He simply ran around Linzi every day to appease his father-in-law. No matter how concerned about the life of the Yellow Turban soldiers, I have exercised the body with some small muscles that Lu Lingqi exercises every day.Of course, this is not without other benefits. At least Qin Xu's reputation among the former Yellow Turban surrenders who have settled down in the past few days has unknowingly increased by a large amount.What Qin Xu didn't know was that many of these people were the family members of the soldiers who were selected as Qingzhou soldiers to guard Xuzhou. The family members of the Qingzhou soldiers who were found were all arranged near Linzi, so that they could take care of them nearby, but Qin Xu benefited this time. In the future, the news that Qin Xu personally asked "in the past few days" spread to Xuzhou through family letters. It was a surprise that Qingzhou soldiers became more and more devoted to Qin.

Time is like Boss Lu's temper, it comes and goes quickly.More than ten days later, Lu Bu called Qin Xu back with a warrant, scolded Qin Xu for "not doing his job properly", and then showed Qin Xu a piece of information written on silk.

"These guys really don't stop. Don't you know that resorting to military force is the way to death? Well, this muddy water in Hebei is really a mess! It seems that we must hurry up and deal with the matter of Tong Zhen's family!" Qin Qin Xu took the message from Lu Bu, frowned and read it, then shook his head and said:  …
