Yuan Shang regained his composure, glanced at his wife, suddenly felt bored, thought in his heart that the second elder brother incompetent could have such a beautiful wife and concubine, he felt panicked, shook his sleeves abruptly, and left quickly.
Mrs. Li was stunned, silent for a moment, and immediately chased after her slowly. Women are the most sensitive minds, and she can see Yuan Shang's performance in her heart, but as a wife, what can she do?In addition to being helpless in my heart, I just feel a little desolate. You must know that Yuan Shang treated her very well before.
Yuan Xi walked a few steps in front, and his heart was also angry. This Yuan Shang was so outrageous that he even dared to show disrespect to his sister-in-law. If the Chinese New Year wasn't just around the corner, he would have punched him.
"Husband." Seeing Yuan Xi's angry look and nowhere to vent, Cai Yan stepped forward lightly, and said in a low voice, "Today is Chinese New Year, so don't get in a bad mood."
Yuan Xi flung his sleeves violently, and snorted, "You two, remember, in the future, tell the concierge not to enter the door when you see this bastard. The bastard is getting more and more outrageous."
Diao Xiu'er followed closely, grabbed Yuan Xi's clothes and said, "His eyes are so evil, he feels very bad, he doesn't look like a good person."
Yuan Xi was overjoyed, if this was in another family, her husband would definitely have accused Diao Xiuer of alienating her brother's relationship if she said that, but Yuan Xi, who knew Yuan Shang well, didn't think there was anything wrong with what Diao Xiuer said.
"This kid is not a good guy, but our parents want to see him, so let's stay away from him, so as not to be annoying." Yuan Xi said angrily: "If I see him like this again in the future, see if I don't fight him." Break his dog's leg."
Diao Xiu'er liked Yuan Xi's tight-knit appearance, and said with a smile, "What are you doing kicking? Gouging out his eyes, it's not a good thing to look at, so as not to harm a good woman in the future."
Regarding Yuan Shang's performance just now, in the eyes of Cai Yan and Diao Xiu'er, it was undoubtedly extremely rude. Before Yuan Xi got angry, the two of them couldn't say anything. Beat up.
Ordinary women would definitely not be like this, including Cai Yan who looked helpless on the right side of Yuan Xi, but Diao Xiu'er has been doted on by Yuan Xi like a daughter these years, she really speaks boldly, so she can say whatever she wants.
The three talked, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the backyard of Yuan's house. Diao Xiu'er quickly fell behind two steps, followed behind Cai Yan, and began to behave like a man with her tail between her legs, with an obedient and docile appearance.
This girl was really spoiled by Yuan Xi.Cai Yan glanced at Diao Xiu'er, who had a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and sighed slightly in her heart. She always thought that she was already independent enough, but she never thought that Diao Xiu'er, who was so beautiful, was even more crazy than herself.
Chapter Twelve: The Zhen Family's Five Stunning Beauty
The three of them entered the main house and greeted Mrs. Liu before they could move around.Wait until noon to eat.
Yuan Xi dragged the second daughter along and wanted to find a quieter house to sit and sit. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the main house, he saw his elder brother Yuan Tan and his wife in the small pavilion on the other side, as if they were chatting with others.
"Brother." Yuan Xi called out.He took the two girls and rushed forward.
Cai Yan said: "Husband, elder brother is discussing business matters, is it not good for us to go over?"
"It's okay, didn't you see that my sister-in-law is here?" Yuan Xi shook his head nonchalantly, and pulled the two girls to the front in a blink of an eye.
"Second brother, you are here too." Yuan Tan greeted his wife, and Hu immediately put on a smile and walked towards Diao Xiu'er and Cai Yan.
Yuan Xi smiled at Yuan Tan, then turned to Mrs. Hu and said, "Sister-in-law, you didn't come last time. Let me introduce you this time. This is Cai Yan, and this is Diao Xiuer. They are both my wives. You can talk about them." .”
"The two younger brothers and sisters are really beautiful, beautiful and intelligent, the second brother is so lucky." Although Hu is a foreign woman, she can speak Chinese very fluently, and soon she enthusiastically chatted with the two girls.
Cai Yan is a master at setting off the atmosphere, coupled with Diao Xiuer's eccentric spirit, the three girls chatted together in no time.
"Brother." Yuan Xi turned his head, called out, and shifted his gaze to the scribe who was standing up, about 30 years old, and asked, "Who is this?"
"Second brother, come, let me introduce you. This is Guo Tu, my best friend in Beijing. This time I came to see my mother on business, so I ran into him."
So this is Guo Tu, Yuan Xi quickly recalled the news of this person in his mind.
Guo Tu bent slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Guo has seen the Second Young Master."
You have met me, but I have not met you, Yuan Xi hurriedly replied: "Brother Guo is too polite, since you are my brother's friend, you are also my brother, you can call me Xianyi in the future."
Guo Tu smiled slightly, and said without hesitation, "If that's the case, then the lord will hold him up and call him Xianyi."
"As it should be, as it should be."
The three of them sat down, and Yuan Xi said: "Brother Guo, what's the matter? Let's talk about it. If you can help, the two brothers will do our best to help."
Yuan Tan said: "This matter is of great importance. It is not up to you and me to solve it. My mother has already agreed to fly to Luoyang and ask our father to help solve it."
Yuan Xi nodded. In his memory, Guo Tu was his father's counselor, but he followed his eldest brother later.
During the Battle of Guandu, this person advocated taking the opportunity to attack Cao Ying. After this plan failed, he blamed Zhang Yun and Gao Lan who led the army to attack Cao Ying in order to avoid punishment, causing them to betray Yuan and defect to Cao.Later, he offered a plan to the elder brother to murder the third younger brother, but was found out by the judges and others, which led to the brothers fighting. Later, he persuaded the elder brother to join forces with Cao Cao to attack the third younger brother in order to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
It can be said that every strategy of Guo Tu was a foolish move at the time. At the time of crisis, the brothers were fighting against each other.So speaking of it, Guo Tu is the kind of second-rate counselor who only cares about immediate interests, far from being first-rate.
But speaking of it, Guo Tu was pretty good, he was in a daze, at least he didn't surrender, his bones were hard, and he was always serving the Yuan family.
The most outstanding thing he has done in his life should be to persuade Han Fu to give up Jizhou to his father.
Generally speaking, Yuan Xi's evaluation of the person in front of him is that it can be used, but it can't be used much.
Having said a few words, Yuan Xi and Guo Tu have already understood each other. Although Yuan Xi's other reputations are not obvious in recent years, and he even has some evil deeds of being romantic and lustful, he is generally very suitable in terms of dealing with the world. No faux pas.
After some conversation, Guo Tu also had a new understanding of Yuan Xi. Although this person is lustful and has no ambitions, it does not mean that he is useless. At least in his opinion, he is better than the third son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shang. Know how many times.
At about noon, Guo Tu looked at the sky, stood up and said, "You two, please stop, I'm going back soon."
Yuan Tan said: "Brother Guo won't stay during the Chinese New Year, let's meet next time in Luoyang."
Yuan Xi also cupped his fists to say goodbye to him, and when Guo Tu turned his head and was about to leave, Yuan Xi suddenly said, "Brother Gongze, please stay."
Guo Tu paused for a moment, then turned to look at him with a questioning look in his eyes.
Yuan Xi laughed dryly, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I want to ask Brother Gongze about someone, please don't be surprised."
Guo Tu smiled lightly, "Xianyi is being polite, but it's okay."
"Brother Gongze, may I ask if you know Yingchuan Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao?"
In fact, Yuan Xi was also curious for a while. Both of them were surnamed Guo, and they both came from Yingchuan. Maybe they were brothers from the same clan who knew each other.
Guo Tu looked astonished, looked Yuan Xi up and down, and replied softly: "How did Xian Yi know Feng Xiao?"
Yuan Xi was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He tried his best to become normal, and continued: "I just heard about it occasionally. If you dare to ask Brother Gongze, do you know where he is now?"
Guo Tu shook his head and said: "Feng Xiao has traveled all over the world these years, and it is normal for Xian Yi to have heard of him, but it is not easy to find him now." After a pause, Guo Tu asked, "What if Second Young Master has something to say, but if I have the chance, I can spread the word and honor him."
Yuan Xi glanced at him, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Just ask Brother Gongze to send a message that I have what he wants here, and if he needs it, he can come and find me."
Yuan Xi's status was very embarrassing. Even if he wanted to recruit talents, he had to be cautious. The third brother was already at odds with him, and if the elder brother continued to think wildly, the Yuan family would probably be doomed.
Therefore, even if Yuan Xi desperately wanted to get the genius in his memory, he dared not reveal it too much.
Guo Tu took a deep look at him, said nothing, and left with fists in his arms.
Yuan Xi looked at Guo Tu's back and sighed deeply. It would be a few years before his father won the four states, and it would be a while before he took control of Youzhou.
Yuan Tan looked at the bewildered Yuan Xi, thinking that he had taken a fancy to another girl, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and teased: "If we want to talk about beauties in Hebei, there are quite a few, but if we want to talk about famous ones, we have to count Wuji Zhen." The family has five daughters, each of whom is stunning. I heard that Zhen Mi, the fifth daughter of their family, is even more beautiful, if you have the ability to marry her back, brother will count on you."
Yuan Xi could naturally hear his teasing words, so he didn't care, and said with a smile: "What's this, let her be beautiful, and when she sees me, why not obediently beg me to be admitted to the west room, this is not challenging .”
Zhen Mi would be his wife in the future, so Yuan Xi was not ambiguous at all when he talked big.It's just that in this life, he absolutely won't allow any other accidents to happen.
