Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 243
Mi Zhen turned around with a casual look, and asked what happened without showing a trace. Mi Zhu was upset at this moment, and explained a few words casually, looking out of his mind.

Mi Zhen's heart stirred up waves, Yuan Xi actually came to Tancheng?
Liu Bei took back Xuzhou, because Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi deliberately blocked the news, and only a few of Liu Bei's confidantes, such as Mi Fang, knew the inside story, so Mi Zhen only knew about it at this moment.

Mi Zhu said that after the conversation in the morning, Yuan Xi specifically mentioned to himself that because Guangling changed hands, he would visit Mi's house again to discuss the re-division of maritime trade routes.

Mi Zhu is already Xuzhou Biejia, and donated most of his family property, and he is getting less and less interested in the business route, so he coped with it with a few words, but Mi Zhen's heart jumped up, she had a chance to see him again?
She grew up from Mi's family, and as she grew older, her appearance became more and more beautiful, and her reputation gradually spread. The young scholars who came to visit Mi's family, after seeing her, were shocked and flattered her. The color is beyond words.

Mi Zhen has long been used to the fiery gazes of scholars, so when she meets Yuan Xi who treats her indifferently, she finds that she is completely different from other people.

Moreover, Mi Zhen saw in the eyes of the other party, as calm as the sky and the sea, and there was no burning desire in the eyes of others when they looked at her.

Mi Zhen couldn't help but her interest was brought up. Is the other party playing tricks, trying to cover up, or is she really not interested in her?

In fact, Mi Zhen didn't know. It would not be entirely untrue to say that Yuan Xi didn't appreciate her appearance at all, but Yuan Xi was thinking about how to open up the sea route, and when he treated Mi Zhen, he didn't lose his composure like others .

Moreover, with his personality, he would never be greedy for small things and lose big things for the sake of a woman, but because of this, he hit the right path and aroused Mi Zhen's interest in him.

After Yuan Xi left, Mi Zhen began to inquire about what Yuan Xi had done, and found that at a young age, the other party had already gained the reputation of being a fierce tiger, and was already a leader among her peers.

But it is only relative to his peers. Compared with the princes of all parties at this time, he is still too young after all, and it may take an unknown number of years of accumulation before he can be compared with people like Liu Bei and Tao Qian.

However, what happened next was far beyond Mi Zhen's expectations. Yuan Xi defeated the Black Mountain Army one after another, destroyed Gongsun Zan, and was awarded the governor of Youzhou. He became a prince with a similar status to Liu Bei. Move the world.

This time it was more about saving Xuzhou from danger, Mi Zhen thought that after the incident got out, her reputation would become even louder.

But when the news of Yuan Xi's marriage came, Mi Zhen didn't know why, but her heart seemed to be empty, and she heard that the bride was extremely beautiful, so she thought that the other party just simply didn't like her?

Moreover, according to the rumors, Yuan Xi also took in the widow of Gongsun Zan, which left Mi Zhen dumbfounded. Isn't this considered lustful?
Is he not even as good as a widow?
Mi Zhen's mood was very complicated. On the one hand, she was looking forward to Yuan Xi's visit, but on the other hand, she felt even more uncomfortable, so what if she saw him?

Mi Zhu didn't know about Mi Zhen's thoughts, she had a lot of thoughts at the moment, waiting for Mi Fang to come back to discuss, but Mi Fang didn't know where she went!

Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen both had something on their minds, they just sat there in silence, it was unknown how long before Mi Fang rushed in excitedly.

When Mi Zhu saw it, he became a little angry, "The Mi family has a lot of things these days, where did you go?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Fang said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"I went to Chen's house."

When Mi Zhu heard this, he yelled bitterly, "What are you doing at Chen's house!"

"At this time, every move will arouse suspicion. How dare you go to a place like the Chen family?"

Mi Fang said nonchalantly, "I'm working in one state now, so why not go to Chen Deng's house to congratulate Chen Deng?"

He said mysteriously: "And I'm going ahead of the curve to get some benefits for the Mi family."

"Chen Deng is going to Guangling to be the prefect. There should be many children from the Chen family following him. It will definitely cost money to build a house and buy land."

"In this way, the Chen family's property in Xiapi won't be able to use so much. Their family has fertile land, and our family has a lot of property left. We just bought it here, so as not to make it cheaper for others!"

"So as soon as the matter was over in the morning, when I saw Chen Deng coming home, I immediately went to the door and settled a lot of things with him!"

"Am I great?"

Seeing Mi Fang's complacent look, Mi Zhu's seven orifices were filled with smoke. "Second brother, you have already sat in this position, why do you still act like a businessman!"

"Do you know that doing so at this time will cause criticism!"

After hearing this, Mi Fang was unconvinced and said, "Why are you criticizing it? If we don't buy it, others will buy it differently?"

Mi Zhu hated iron but said: "Second brother, when will you get enlightened!"

"Yuanlong has already lost power. Do you think he wants to leave Xiapi?"

"Our Mi family and the Chen family are originally from the same family, and we have been criticized for the Xuzhou matter. We should bow our heads and be human!"

"You have also seen that today Yuan Long blatantly defected to Yuan Xi, the lord must not like it, Yuan Long is gone, our Mi family is the target of public criticism!"

"We are alone, we should give up some of the benefits to the lord and other subordinate officials, but you still have to buy land and grab what they fancy!"

"Did you say that you lost your head!"

Only then did Mi Fang slowly come to her senses, and bowed her head in silence.

He said in a shy voice: "Brother said so, but Yuan Xi tied the Mi family with him through the sea trade route, how does the lord think of us?"

Mi Zhu sighed: "You finally figured it out a little bit, but Yuan Xi has a very bad heart!"

"Unless we don't want to stay in Xuzhou anymore, we have to find ways to separate ourselves from him!"

Listening to the two brothers quarreling, Mi Zhen finally came to understand slowly.

Her face turned pale slightly, so Yuan Xi was planning such intentions?
At that time, he came to the Mi Mansion to discuss cooperation, and he was quite happy. After a long time of trouble, he was just using the Mi Family?
What about yourself?

In the eyes of the other party, is he just a fool who is easily deceived?

Mi Zhen suddenly laughed at herself, what was being deceived, the other party never promised anything from the beginning to the end, right?

She was a little cold in her heart, no matter whether she was a businessman or an official, they were all intrigues, the reality was so cruel, and she still had too many beautiful fantasies.

But who can escape? I heard that Liu Bei's wife and concubine Gan also disliked each other, fighting openly and secretly. At that time, if I really wanted to marry, wouldn't I be involved in this vortex?

Yuan Xi sent Mrs. Liu Bei back and ruined his marriage. Should he thank him or hate him?
While Mi's family was restless over Yuan Xi's visit, Yuan Xi had already arrived at Chen's house first.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Deng was already waiting there. There were two old men sitting in the main seat and the guest seat respectively. After Chen Deng introduced, they were Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui and Hua Tuo.

Yuan Xi first said respectfully to Chen Gui: "Xi pays homage to Mr. Han Yu."

Looking at this word, he thought, it must be that the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty have not run away. The ancients valued their own words very much, and often used them as their philosophy of life.

No wonder that after Chen Deng and his son defected to Cao Cao, they paid much attention to it at first, but then gradually marginalized them until they disappeared from history books.

It will take a lot of effort for this father and son to be completely loyal.

The old man sitting at the top is Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui.

It is human nature for others, including Liu Bei, to have concerns about the Chen family and even Chen Deng. Xuzhou borders Yangzhou. Who knows if the Chen family will become Yuan Shu's internal support?

Only Yuan Xi, who knew the history of later generations, dared to use this father and son with peace of mind.

Because Yuan Xi knew that when Yuan Shu usurped the rebellion, he tried to recruit Chen Gui, and threatened Chen Gui's two sons, but Chen Gui directly refused.

Afterwards, Chen Gui personally lobbied Lv Bu, destroyed Lv Bu's marriage with Yuan Shu, and later used tricks to drive a wedge between Han Siam and Yang Feng, defeating Yuan Shu's army, and was called Yuan Shu's nemesis.

That's why Yuan Xi dared to recruit the Chen family with confidence, and let Chen Deng be in charge of Guangling.

Chen Gui hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "I'm really ashamed that I have to make such a generous gift from you because of my inaction."

Yuan Xi laughed and said: "Where, the old man can teach Mr. Yuan Long such a talent, it is worthy of Xi's worship."

Chen Gui wondered: "My son is only a mere Lieutenant of Diannong, how can he be called a talent?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "A master pointed out to me that Mr. Yuan Long will definitely leave his name in history."

Chen Gui only thought Yuan Xi was joking, but Hua Tuo said: "I heard from Yuan Long that the young master once met a star-gazing master and revealed the hidden disease on Yuan Long's body?"

As soon as Hua Tuo said this, Chen Gui and Chen Deng listened attentively, after all, this matter was too unbelievable.

At that time, there were a few well-known physiognomy masters in the world, but I had never heard of anyone who could judge a person's fate and fortune through the astrology without seeing the face of a real person.
Yuan Xi laughed, "There is indeed such a person, but the dragon god can't see the beginning and the end, and I have only met him once."

Hua Tuo asked, "Does this person have a name?"

Yuan Xi could only say: "I only know his name, Yinhu."

Chen Gui's eyes flashed brightly, "But that Yinhu who offered advice for Marquis Wen and almost drove Cao Mengde to a dead end?"

Yuan Xi was taken aback, thinking how could Chen Gui know the inside story?

This honest old man is not simple.

He had no choice but to hide it: "I only know that this person can observe the sky. As for what he did, I don't really understand."

Chen Gui naturally didn't believe it.

If this fierce tiger and Yinhu were not familiar with each other, how could they discuss the condition of Chen Deng who was thousands of miles away?
At that time, Chen Deng and Yuan Xi didn't know each other at all!
There must be a reason for it!

This Yuan Xi's name, Fierce Tiger, is so similar to Yinhu, and Yuan Xi has a name that fulfills the prophecy. Could it be that Yinhu has watched the astrology and thought that this fierce tiger has the air of an emperor, so he will assist him?

If you think about it this way, this fierce tiger came all the way to save Chen Deng's life and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Is it true that Chen Deng is also the key person in the prophecy?
Is the big man really exhausted?

If Yuan Xi knew that Chen Gui's brain had made up so many things, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood.

Sometimes things will achieve the desired result, but in fact, they are taking a completely different path from the expected one.

This is the impermanence of the world.
