The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 102

I was quite surprised that Guo Jia's request was actually approved under the auspices of the judge and Feng Ji.It was Guo Jia's words that woke me up. "These two guys have no good intentions. You must be very careful when I leave, my lord." It turned out that he thought I was Li Shimin and wanted to transfer everyone around me away one by one.Sure enough, as soon as Guo Jia left, Zhou Cang was transferred to guard the city gate. He was promoted and took over the position of Shen Rong.But I easily lost sight of him.What is annoying is that Tian Feng was actually recommended by Shen Pei and Yuan Shang to be the prefect of Qinghe County. I guess his father probably didn't want to see him, so he sent him away.After Zhang Xiu came to Jizhou, he was extremely cautious, and I couldn't see him when I was idle.There is only one Cui Yan who has a good relationship with me, and it is still useful to speak in front of my father.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhen Mi was still living at her mother's house.The weather in November is bone-chillingly cold, with the north wind whistling and freezing thousands of miles away.Frost covered the city of Jizhou.Wearing armor on the body can freeze a person's heart into a piece of iron.The Black Dragon Knights are still stationed outside the city, and I haven't seen this group of brothers in the past few months.I heard that Chang Xi and Zhu Ling were transferred to Meng Dai's anti-rebel army.Guan Cheng followed Juhu, the son of Jushou, to Bingzhou to supervise the grain and grass.And I didn't know it at all, and no one greeted me in advance.

In the past few months, I have never stopped going to my father to say hello.Occasionally, when my father was in poor health or unhappy, he would sing and cry for a while.He would be moved a little bit every time, who knew that this trick could not be used forever, after a long time, he was actually learned by Yuan Shang, accidentally, another filial son appeared in front of his father.

That Aunt Tian, ​​I can see her every time I go, she is by my father's side, wrapping up my father's emaciated body, and his spirit is gradually weakening.Every time she saw me, she kept a friendly smile without any shyness.As if, what I saw in the wooden house that day was not him at all.After I went back that day, I prescribed a prescription for strengthening the yang and invigorating the kidney, and then I went out.

The first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter was falling outside, and the cotton-like snowflakes stirred by the strong northwest wind swirled wantonly.Hitting the cheeks and eyes of the night traveler, the sky and the earth are confused.

When I walked to the door of my father's bedroom, Aunt Tian was wearing a blood-red Shu brocade cotton gown, standing pretty in the snow with a maid looking at the scenery.I waved my hand to signal the servant girl to go down.Said calmly; "You have to know restraint, father is getting old, you will kill him." Aunt Tian was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, her eyes shot out the light of grievance, and said quietly; "It's not me, it's the general—" I sighed and said, "You should think it through yourself. I just want to remind you that if something happens to your father, it will not be easy for you." Aunt Tian nodded deeply and said, "You—— I will - are you cold?" I turned my head away from her, handed a prescription to her hand and said, "Just decoct the medicine according to this, twice a day, remember it."

"Wait, son, you go later, I have something to say." Her voice was very bitter.The cold wind slapped her face, and her delicate skin immediately turned bright red.

"Go ahead." I turned my head away.

"I won't hurt you, don't worry, I will never." After she finished speaking, she turned and left.A few crystal clear teardrops were blown onto my face by the wind, colder than snow.

I walked out of the general's mansion and turned to walk on the road of Jizhou City. There was already a thick layer of snow under my feet, and there was a crackling sound. On my straight waist, my hands and neck felt the melting cold of snowflakes. It is still snowing.When entering the two open heavy nanmu gates, there is a thumping heartbeat in the chest, a hot feeling floods the whole body, and there is a lonely feeling of returning home after a long absence.This is Cai Yan's house
A delicate and exquisite little girl heard someone in the courtyard, so she came out to look.She used to be a girl from the General's Mansion, so she knew me.So I was notified, and I was ushered in the door.

Cai Yan gently poured me a cup of golden tea; "It's a coincidence, this tea is brewed with the snowflake water just picked up, try it."

I took a sip of the tea, the fragrance was tangy, and the hot stream rolled down my throat with a gurgling sound. I suddenly felt that my intestines were blowing and my body was smooth, and I said lightly in my mouth; "Isn't snow water just water?"

On the way back from Youzhou, the relationship between Cai Yan and I underwent a profound change.From unfamiliar to familiar, from a shy senior sister to a confidant and good friend who talks about everything.So far, I've only been here three times.The first time I arranged for her to live in, the second time was a month ago, and I sent her some winter clothes, which was the meaning of my mother.This is the third time.

Cai Yan doesn't go out very much, and whenever it's rainy and oppressive, she can't read her books, and she can't write poems, her thoughts are in a mess, and she keeps cutting and managing them.

She seems to regard me as a vent for knowing the situation in the Han Dynasty.The last time I came, we chatted for two hours, and she asked 130 five questions.Except for the ones I don't know, I gave the answers one by one.

With a cup of tea in hand, a pot of charcoal fire in front of him, and a dozen candles that are not dim, but not bright either.After a few gossips, they were speechless, each had something on their minds, so they sat facing each other like this, and didn't feel any embarrassment.Both of them knew in their hearts that in fact, only a truly trustworthy relationship can achieve this real state of eliminating the false and preserving the true.I drank the tea washed down with snow water in a relaxed and joyful mood, and found that Cai Yan was extraordinarily attentive to refill me.A little bit of excessive politeness caused unnecessary awkwardness; I watched Cai Yan carefully, and finally found that those eyes that were usually charming and cold were dodging, and there was a ray of gleam.

"Wen Ji, if you have something to do, I'll go first." I stood up as I spoke.

Cai Yan panicked, the tea was poured outside, and said anxiously, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

"Speak straight, don't beat around the bush with me, just tell me, I'll listen." I sat down again.

"Let's go for a walk." Cai Yan said quietly.

"It's cold outside," I said with concern.Cai Yan smiled bitterly; "Am I afraid of the cold?" It took me a long time to understand the meaning of this sentence, yes, the wind and snow in the Xiongnu are much heavier than here.

At this moment, the wind has calmed down a lot, and although the snow is still falling like a goose feather, the feeling of being scratched by a knife on his face no longer exists.On the streets and alleys, the snow in front of the roof, in front of the house and behind the house is connected into one piece, and it is difficult to distinguish the whiteness.My two sons walked towards the silver snow field glowing with silver light under the moonlight, and there seemed to be a colorful maze like Qionglou Fairy Pavilion in front of my eyes.

Snowflakes fell on Cai Yan's long eyelashes, she blinked, spit out white mist, and smiled, "Yuan Xi, look at this is so beautiful." Cai Yan is different from Aunt Tian, ​​she is simple and elegant.He only wore a silk cloak that was as long as his feet.This kind of magnanimity not only failed to make her look bloated, but on the contrary highlighted her delicate beauty.

I stared blankly at her, and nodded; "It's so beautiful." Cai Yan noticed the strangeness in my tone, and blushed; "Do you like moonlit nights, or snowy nights?" , almost blurted out; "I like you."

"Snowy night." I said with certainty.

"Why?" Cai Yan was surprised.I said, "The moonlit night is clear and high, and has the taste of a lonely knight. I don't like it. I like snowy nights." Cai Yan said: "Snowy nights, it's very cold!"

"It's not cold, and the snowy night is not cold at all. When you look at its beauty through the window, you will feel that although it is beautiful, it is very cold, but if you have the courage to step out, you will find that every snowflake is full of fire." Added in my mind, just like you.

Cai Yan didn't know if he understood what I meant, but a sad look suddenly appeared on his face.She said lightly; "I'm getting married again—"

The gentleness she said sounded like a bolt from the blue to my ears. In an instant, my eyes widened to the point of being absent-minded; "Are you kidding me, who are you going to marry?"

"Liu Bei." Cai Yan dodged my gaze and turned around. "The third son came to be a matchmaker, and the lord has already agreed." In an instant, the blood in my whole body froze into ice.His flushed face became like a bamboo slip, his upright body trembled, and the snow under his feet creaked.

"Father agrees—then, do you want to?" I waited for her to say the word 'no'.Cai Yan said: "Liu Bei is the uncle of the great Han emperor, with a respected status and a recognized hero in the world. His kindness and virtue are spread all over the world. I——I am a broken flower and a broken willow. I don't agree with it." She slowly said Said, enunciating the words clearly, it seems that these beautiful words, said quickly, are not enough to drive me crazy. "So, you are 1 times willing, aren't you?" I gritted my teeth and said, glaring at her viciously.

"Well, I'm willing to do so." Cai Yan's arrogance appeared in his tone, and he raised his face to look at me.His eyes were full of disdain and struggle.

"Okay, get the fuck out of here, get married, go, I don't care about you." I roared, stretching out my right arm and roaring.Cai Yan bit her lower lip firmly, turned her head and walked away.

I was a little dizzy in despair, and I yelled in my heart, third child, Liu Bei, are you going to take away the heaviest thing in my heart?I, Yuan Xi, are at odds with you.

I turned around and walked a few steps, then stopped, turned around, and saw Cai Yan also standing there without moving.I walked back quickly and said to her; "You don't want to marry Liu Bei - okay?" She couldn't hold back her tears; "Yuan Xi - do you want me? -"

I hugged her into my arms and said emotionally, "You marry me or Liu Bei, Yuan Xi just wants you to say a word."

"Marry you, as long as you are willing to marry me, I don't care about being a concubine." Cai Yan suddenly cried sadly.

There was a bang in my head, as if I had received an electric shock, my arms tightened suddenly, and I hugged her tightly; "You promised."

"Promise—promise—" Cai Yan stretched out his arms, hugged me back, and put his face on my chest, tears streaming down his face, sobbing authentically; "But, the general has ordered me to marry Liu Bei , Moreover, Liu Bei also came here in person, and even asked the emperor to marry him. I'm afraid they will—"

"Okay, okay, you are really nice—" Suddenly, a sneer came from behind.Then came another sound; "Second brother, it seems that you do not look good on our Yuan family."

I was startled, and when I turned around, it was Yuan Shang, Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's good brother Zhang Fei.Yuan Shang sneered all over his face; "Second brother, you still don't let go of that woman. She is the wife of the emperor's uncle and the emperor's aunt of the current majesty." Liu Bei's face was livid, and angry white air was sprayed from his nose, like a head on the verge of going crazy. bull.Zhang Fei stomped his feet angrily, as if I slept with his wife.

I looked at Yuan Shang, and said in a deep voice; "Third brother, Wen Ji is my woman, not your aunt, do you hear that?" Yuan Shang's face changed suddenly, and when he was about to speak, Zhang Fei jumped up Shouting; "She is my elder brother's wife, what do you want to do?"

"Who said Wen Ji is your elder brother's wife, Uncle Liu Huang, have you worshiped heaven and earth?" I sneered, with the attitude of a winner.Liu Bei let out a long breath, and said sharply: "Second son, Liu Bei has always respected you as a hero, but he never thought that you would do such a seductive act. With the approval of the current majesty, the imperial decree is now available, please have a look."

Zhang Fei took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms, threw it over and said, "Take it and see for yourself." Is this the attitude towards the imperial decree?
When I unfolded it, I was stunned. Even though I had fully prepared myself, I was still shocked by the imperial edict and the offer of marriage from Emperor Xian.This edict is more legitimate than the marriage certificate. Although Liu Bei did not pay homage to Cai Yan, Cai Yan is definitely his wife.
