Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221 Liu Bei's wife
When Kong Rong's family saw Yuan Xi appearing at first, they had different reactions. Kong Rong was frightened, but his wife and daughter showed surprise.

Kong Rong lost his voice: "Why are you here, kid?"

Yuan Xi said: "Liu Yuzhou lost Xiapi Guangling, and sent Mr. Wenlong to Yecheng for help. I will form an alliance with Liu Yuzhou on behalf of the Yuan family, and I will do what I can."

"However, meeting Wen Jugong's family here is also an unexpected joy. I will send someone to take Wen Jugong's family back to Liu Yuzhou."

Only then did Kong Rong come to his senses, and said angrily, "You kid is playing tricks on me!"

He suddenly remembered that his family's life was saved by Yuan Xi, and he felt extremely embarrassed. Should he thank Yuan Xi for saving his life?

Mrs. Kong Rong took her daughter and bowed deeply, with tears in her eyes, she said, "Thank you for saving my life, my lord."

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "Madam, you are being polite. We are all acquainted. It is our duty to save each other, so there is no need to be polite."

Kong Rong's face twitched, who is your acquaintance, is it my wife or my daughter?
He remembered that Yuan Xi had saved his wife's daughter once last time, but the Taishan Yang family still had some complaints about the matter of sharing the same car. Do you think it was good intentions or bad intentions?

But this time it was even more thrilling. If it were said that Yuan Xi's actions were just absurd, Sun Ce's actions could be called cruel and terrifying.

Sun Ce treated the gentry with no regard for face at all, and he also took the women of the gentry forcibly, and his background was low, so he had a bad reputation among the gentry.

Kong Rong thought, although Sun Ce didn't touch his wife's daughter after his family of three was arrested, but this matter jumped into the Yellow River, it was a piece of yellow mud in the crotch, and it couldn't be washed away. It's hard to say.

He was depressed, but he couldn't attack it, no matter how bad Yuan Xi did, it was a life-saving grace, so what else could he say?
Moreover, the other party is already the governor of Youzhou, a prince who sits on an equal footing with Liu Bei, and Kong Rong is not stupid. Could it be possible that he can tear his face apart?
He had no choice but to say with a stiff face: "On behalf of the whole family, the old man would like to thank you son... for your kindness in saving your life."

Yuan Xi laughed secretly when he heard the reluctance in Kong Rong's tone. Originally, he was quite dissatisfied with Kong Rong and always thought he was ugly, but the unkind words just now reminded him of the relationship between him and Yuan Shao. Feeling the complicated relationship with Kong Rong, his dislike for Kong Rong has faded a lot.

He smiled and said: "Mr. Wen Ju is polite. When I attacked Guangling, I didn't expect that Mr.'s family would be trapped here. It can be said that it is God's will."

He turned to Mrs. Kong Rong and said, "I didn't expect to see you again after we parted last time. Madam is well."

Mrs. Kong Rong quickly returned the salute, her face was a little hot, what is the last goodbye, how could you talk like that?

Seeing her daughter bowed her head and said nothing, she thought to herself that this is strange, she always talks about Yuan Xi on weekdays, why did she have nothing to say when they met?

She gently tugged on her daughter's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Young Master."

Only then did the girl lower her head and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Young Master, for saving your life."

Yuan Xi thought to himself that she was about to get married, and she became more sensible, and knew the difference between men and women, so she said softly, "The girl is well."

The girl bowed her head and hummed.

Yuan Xi thought about going to see Liu Bei's wife and daughter, so he said: "I just went down to the city, and the city is not stable at this time, and there are many people with evil intentions, so please feel wronged and stay here for a few days. I will send you all back to Liu Yuzhou in Haixi..."

After hearing this, Kong Rong had no choice but to say: "Everything is arranged by the envoy."

Yuan Xi nodded after hearing this, and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

He turned around and was about to leave, when he heard the girl whisper: "Is the young master married?"

Yuan Xi was startled, then smiled and said, "I just got married last month."

"It's a coincidence that my wife came with me, and I will ask her to visit my wife some other day."

Seeing Yuan Xi leaving the door and disappearing, the girl felt a sudden pain in her heart, feeling empty as if something was missing, her eyes were filled with tears.

When Mrs. Kong Rong saw her, she also sighed softly, and hugged her daughter in her arms.

Kong Rong didn't notice the appearance of the mother and daughter. He looked out the window and said angrily: "The boy of the Yuan family is just like his father, he has reached the sky in one step."

"When he came to Xuzhou, although he was well-known, he was just a concubine of the Yuan family. I didn't expect that now he has become the head of the side branch and has been awarded the governor of Youzhou. How old is he, 20 years old, or 21?"

"The Yuan family has accumulated a lot of money, but it's a pity that they are ambitious. Don't look at the joy they are dancing now, hehe, it will be hard to say in the future..."

Hearing Kong Rong's sour words, Mrs. Kong Rong said softly: "At least it saved our family's life, and maybe we will need help from others."

After hearing this, Kong Rong wanted to refute a few words, when he suddenly thought that he heard that the vicious tiger of the Yuan family would take revenge, if his complaints got into his ears, wouldn't it be him who would be in trouble?

Thinking of this, he reluctantly stopped.

Yuan Xi and Tian Yu turned around and walked around to the other side of the courtyard, but saw that there was also a door on the outside of a room, presumably it was the place where Liu Bei's wife and daughter were locked up.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a middle-aged female voice came out from inside the door: "Who is it?"

Yuan Xi heard the words and said: "Yuan Xi in Lower Jizhou, may I ask if Mrs. Liu Yuzhou is inside?"

The middle-aged woman said: "Since you found this place, why bother to ask if you are with that Sun Ce?"

"Let me tell you first, if you hit my daughter, kill me first!"

Yuan Xi thought that Mrs. Liu Bei was interesting.

Liu Bei's official wife is not recorded in the history books. I don't know if it was a taboo for the venerable, or something else happened. Thinking of this, he said: "Madam, don't you know that the Yuan family and Liu Yuzhou were originally an alliance?"

"At Liu Yuzhou's request, I came to relieve the siege of Xuzhou. Now that Guangling has been taken down by me, my wife will return to Liu Yuzhou's place in a few days."

After hesitating inside the door, the voice softened, "Really?"

Yuan Xi said: "It is absolutely true, if it is convenient for Madam, can we meet each other?"

The female voice said: "The outside is locked, you can see it if you want, how can I stop it?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself that this lady speaks very aggressively, going straight to the point, not like a noble woman at all. Thinking about it, Liu Bei's family was not good when he was young, and when he married, he found his original spouse from the right family, so she should not be a woman from a wealthy family.

He said: "In that case, I will open the door."

Tian Yu went up to unlatch the door, and pushed the door open, he saw a rather masculine woman with rough hands and feet, with a heroic look between her brows, blocking the door with a vigilant expression.

Yuan Xi was taken aback when he saw the woman. What should I say about the original wife of the Liu family? Her body is straight, her chest is high, her waist is not thin, her limbs look very powerful, and she looks like she has done a lot of work since she was a child. , has nothing to do with noble women, but looks like a simple working woman.

There seemed to be two female figures, one big and one small, behind the woman. He thought to himself that this must be Liu Bei's daughter, so he bowed and said, "I have seen Mrs. Shijun."

Mrs. Liu Bei saw that Yuan Xi was treating each other with courtesy, so she had no choice but to return the courtesy: "This concubine has seen..."

She raised her head and asked in confusion, "What's the name?"

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "I'm the governor of Youzhou, Madam, you can call me son, or envoy."

Mrs. Liu Bei looked puzzled, and said: "You are young, just like your concubine, you are the governor of a state?"

She then shook her head and said, "No, you don't look like a bad person, and governors are not good people nowadays."

Yuan Xi finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Madam's words also scolded Liu Yuzhou."

Mrs. Liu Bei heard this, and her face was angry: "He is also a heartless person. He left our mother and daughter behind, but someone took that vixen from Gan's away!"

Yuan Xi is sweating profusely, what is this all about?
Listening to Mrs. Liu Bei's accent, he asked, "Madam is from Zhuojun?"

Mrs. Liu Bei nodded and said, "Like my husband, I am from Zhuo County."

Yuan Xi laughed and said: "It's a coincidence that my seat in Youzhou is also in Zhuojun County, where there are many elegiac songs of generosity, heroic and chivalrous men, and I see that the envoy and his wife both have such character."

Mrs. Liu Bei clapped her hands: "Hey, didn't you say earlier, aren't we half-citizens!"

"Everyone in our place has such a bad temper, and we can't change it. Don't blame me, my lord."

Yuan Xi felt more and more that Madam Liu Bei's words were interesting, but he could also tell that although Madam Liu Bei's words were a bit vulgar on the surface, her heart was actually very delicate.

The two had talked so much just now, and they seemed to be getting acquainted, but Mrs. Liu Bei still tightly protected the two daughters behind her, preventing herself from seeing their faces.

Yuan Xi secretly admired it, knowing that being a parent is not easy in the world, and said immediately: "Madam, take the child to rest here, and I will send someone to bring three meals a day to Madam."

"When the city is stable in a few days, I will send a letter to Liu Yuzhou to see how to send Madam back."

"I still have something to do, so I'll say goodbye first."

Mrs. Liu Bei showed a satisfied expression, "I knew that the young master is a straightforward person, so I will not send him away!"

Yuan Xi laughed, bowed his hands and said goodbye, and took Tian Yu away.

Mrs. Liu Bei saw Yuan Xi and others walking away, so she closed the door, and said to the two daughters behind her: "This kid doesn't seem to have any bad intentions, but he knows people, face but not heart. You guys, will you have any crooked ideas, it's better to put it aside."

Liu Bei has two daughters, one big and one small, the eldest one is about thirteen or fourteen years old, but she is very dignified and beautiful, much better than her parents.

She said aloud: "Amum, did you think too much? I heard that young man has no malicious intentions."

Mrs. Liu Bei sneered and said, "What do you know? Men are attracted to sex. You see, after your father fell in love with that vixen of the Gan family, how could you remember our mother?"

Yuan Xi took Tian Yu out of the house and got on the horse, and went all the way to the Nanmen Wharf to pick up Zhen Mi and the others.

On the way, he saw that some soldiers were patrolling the streets, some ordered civilians to clean up the streets, and some went door-to-door to check. They had already begun to rectify the internal affairs of the city.

After he thought to himself, he still didn't know if Sun Ce would counterattack. It should be time to send someone to deliver a letter to Liu Bei.

But even if Sun Ce is beaten back to Yangzhou, there will be a lot of troubles afterwards. Is it possible to return the Guangling that was laid down to Liu Bei intact?

What a fart!
