Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1841 Zhen Mi and Zhen Huan

Chapter 1839: Zhen Mi and Zhen Huan

 Zhen Yi had previously rejected Yuan Shao's marriage proposal for his second son Yuan Xi.

To be honest, among Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Xi is considered the better one, but he is also the least favored. However, Zhen Yi's refusal to marry was not just because of this, but because she felt that the Zhao Kingdom was destined not to last long.

 Once the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, if the Zhen family is related by marriage to the Yuan family, they will be implicated by the Yuan family, so Zhen Yi will reject Yuan Xi's marriage proposal.

Because of this matter, Zhen Yi was worried for a long time, fearing that Yuan Shao would directly send troops to raid his Zhen family. After all, he refused the Yuan family's overtures.

Although the Wuji Zhen family, together with the Yanmen Qin family, the Donghai Mi family, the Chengdu Wu family, and the Hedong Wei family, are known as the five major business families of the Han Dynasty, their business background is a big stain and is despised by the orthodox mainstream public opinion today.

You must know that even the Qin family was suppressed by the mainstream families for a long time because of their status as businessmen. It was not until Qin Wen served as the governor of Yanmen and defeated the Xiongnu and saved Yanmen Pass that he relied on this credit to get rid of being suppressed by the mainstream families. Despite discrimination, he successfully broke into the orthodox official circles.

In addition to the Qin family, in order to seek family transformation, the four families of Zhenmi, Wu and Wei naturally asked their grandfather to sue their grandmother, and tried every means possible just to join the mainstream of orthodoxy and be accepted into officialdom by the world's aristocratic families.

 Among the four major families, the Mi family is the most ruthless, the Wu family has the best luck, the Wei family has the most accurate vision, and the Zhen family has the worst luck.

In order to transform the family, Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, directly abandoned the century-old foundation of the Mi family in Xuzhou and took refuge with Qin Hao, who became the governor of Nanyang. This required great courage.

 Such a huge contribution has naturally been duly rewarded.

Now brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Yuan are both officials at the prefecture level. The Mi family, who was born as a businessman, can reach this stage, which can be said to be the envy of businessmen all over the world.

The Wu family is also not bad. Wu Yi fully funded Liu Yan's entry into Yizhou, and after Liu Yan's death, he unswervingly supported Liu Yu.

Although the power that Liu Yan left to Liu Yu was continuously usurped by Liu Ji, the Wu family received more and more attention from Liu Yu and was given important use. Today, the Wu family seems to be the first family in Yizhou.

Although the Hedong Wei family did not completely fall to any one force, it spread even more powerfully.

Wei Hong, the head of the Chenliu branch of the Wei family, greatly supported Cao Cao in raising an army when he was in his decline, while Wei Qing, a descendant of the Youzhou Wei family, became a general of the Northern Han Dynasty.

After Qin Hao occupied Sizhou, the Wei family also spent huge sums of money to strongly support Qin Hao. Therefore, they also received courtesy from Qin Hao, and the children of the Wei family were able to serve as officials in the Qin State.

There are people from the Wei family in the officialdom of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Yan, and they can get along well in the officialdom of the three kingdoms, which is quite powerful.

Of course, among the five major business families of the Han Dynasty, the Qin family was the most outstanding. Not only did they successfully join the ranks of princes, they also produced two princes of Qin and Jin.

The worst among the five major families is naturally the Zhen family. Of course, this is the result of comparison with the four families of Qin, Mi, Wu and Wei.

Zhen Yi chose to bet on Yuan Shao, a potential stock at the time. However, there were too many families betting on Yuan Shao, and the Zhen family was simply not ranked, so naturally they would not receive Yuan Shao's attention.

The Zhen family has nothing but money, so they can only throw money at it to gain Yuan Shao's attention.

But even though Zhen Yi spent all his family's financial resources to support Yuan Shao, he still failed to get Yuan Shao's important use. After serving as an official for several years until the fall of Zhao, Zhen Yi did not reach the position of prefect.

 Yuan Shao just regarded the Zhen family as a money pot, beckoning when he needed it, and kicking it away when he didn't want it. From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Zhen Yi, who was a businessman, let alone marrying into the Zhen family.

Yuan Shaohui chose to marry the Zhen family, but he was forced by Qin Hao. He wanted the financial resources of the Zhen family to alleviate the financial crisis, so he let his second son Yuan Xi, the least favored, marry a daughter of the Zhen family. If this were any other time, Zhen Yi would naturally be eager to marry the Yuan family, but now that the Zhao State is about to be destroyed, it would be courting death to have a relationship with the Yuan family.

 So, Zhen Yi rejected Yuan Shao's marriage, but he also knew that Yuan Shao was eyeing his family wealth.

 Yuan Shao would not be good at resting until he achieved his goal, so Zhen Yi took the initiative to donate most of his family wealth in order to eliminate the disaster.

Yuan Shao saw that Zhen Yi was so understanding and took the initiative to donate his family wealth, so he naturally had no trouble for Zhen Yi and the Zhen family.

Yuan Shao didn't care about the rejection of his proposal. After all, he didn't want to marry the Zhen family, who was a businessman.

Zhen Yi refused to marry the Yuan family just to protect herself, but she did not expect that the Zhao Kingdom would be destroyed so quickly, and the Zhen family would still have the opportunity to marry the King of Qin.

At this time Zhen Yi finally realized how correct and wise her decision to refuse marriage with the Yuan family was.

Just imagine, if daughter Zhen Mi is engaged to Yuan Xi, even if the two have not yet consummated their marriage, and even if Yuan Xi has died in the battle, it is still impossible for Zhen Mi to marry the King of Qin on behalf of the Hebei family.

Zhen Mi, known as the ‘doctor in the boudoir’, is well-educated and intelligent even though she is young. She does not dislike family marriage, not to mention that the marriage partner is a first-class handsome man.

“Brother Hao, do you still remember Mi’er?”

A trace of recollection flashed across Zhen Mi's beautiful face, and her face gradually turned slightly red. She remembered her first encounter with Qin Hao.

 In fact, Zhen Mi had met Qin Hao as early as eleven years ago, but she was only a five-year-old girl at that time, and Qin Hao was still a thirteen-year-old boy.

Master and apprentice Qin Hao were traveling to Jizhou and passed through Wuji County. By chance, they met Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, who was seriously ill, so Gui Guzi took action and gave Zhen Yi a brief diagnosis and treatment.

Although the Guigu sect has learned a lot from hundreds of schools of thought, their manpower is limited after all. Even Guiguzi cannot learn all the schools of thought thoroughly.

Gui Guzi is not proficient in medicine, so naturally he cannot save the terminally ill Zhen Yi.

Although Gui Guzi has a way to save Zhen Yi, Zhen Yi is just the head of the small Zhen family, and it is not worth Gui Guzi's favors to save. So seeing that he can't save Zhen Yi himself, Gui Guzi is ready to not care about Zhen Yi's life or death.

When little Zhen Mi saw that her father was about to die, she cried so hard that Qin Hao felt compassion for her, so he begged Gui Guzi to rescue Zhen Yi.

Although Gui Guzi didn't care about Zhen Yi's life or death, he had to give face to his beloved disciple, so he wrote to Hua Tuo and asked Hua Tuo to come and save Zhen Yi.

After Hua Tuo arrived in Wuji County, he not only rescued Zhen Yi, but also rescued Zhen Yi's eldest son Zhen Yu who had died young.

 It was under Hua Tuo's treatment that Zhen Yi, who was supposed to die of illness at the age of 30 in 186, has lived well until now and gave birth to the sixth daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan, who was implanted into the Zhen family after Baimeika was born, is only ten years old now. If Zhen Huan wasn't too young, Zhen Yi would never mind marrying both of her daughters to Qin Hao.
