Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 504
Yuan Xi glanced at Lu Lingqi behind him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go in together."

The two followed Mi Zhen into the house, and saw Liu Bei's wife and daughter Liu Shi were fully dressed and waiting inside.

Mrs. Liu Bei saw the crowd coming in, pulled her daughter to kneel down to Yuan Xi and said, "Thank you so much for your kindness in saving me several times."

Yuan Xi saw Mrs. Liu Bei's complexion was gray, but there was a large patch of abnormal red luster on her dark face, which looked very strange in comparison, and she felt a little bit in her heart, probably it was a flashback, and her life would not be long.

Mrs. Liu Bei panted a few times, sat up straight with difficulty, and said to Yuan Xi: "Is there no news from my husband?"

Yuan Xi comforted him and said, "Liu Yuzhou is a lucky person and will be fine. The two generals Guan and Zhang have already gone to look for him."

"If it goes well, there will be news in a few days."

Mrs. Liu Bei was silent for a while, as if she had made up her mind, "My concubine's next request may be a little too much. I really have no way out, so I have the audacity to ask for it."

"But please make me do my concubine a favor for my husband's sake and for the sake of marrying our husband and wife."

Seeing Mrs. Liu Bei bring out Liu Bei and Mi Zhen to intercede, Yuan Xi also said solemnly: "I have a deep relationship with Liu Yuzhou. Madam is in trouble. I will help you. I also ask Madam not to see outsiders."

Mrs. Liu Bei sighed, "A friend in adversity sees the truth, so that you don't forget the past, and I am really ashamed of my previous rudeness."

"The concubine was born in a poor family, spoke vulgar words, wandered with her husband for many years, and saw too many things about the noble family, so she was very wary of the young master at first."

"But the concubine later found out that the young master is a different kind, and the concubine really missed it."

She paused and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to die soon."

Everyone had already noticed that their faces were heavy when they heard the words, and the daughter Liu who was beside her also started to sob softly.

Mrs. Liu Bei shouted: "Why are you crying!" She was already very weak at this time, the first word she yelled was quite loud, but the last two words were already hoarse.

Liu Shi was so frightened that her body trembled, and she stopped crying quickly.

Mrs. Liu Bei gasped a few times and said: "My husband's whereabouts are unknown now, and it is difficult to predict whether he will be good or bad. I would like to ask the young master to find a place for my daughter."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said, "Madam, please rest assured, Liu Yuzhou has a powerful army, so self-defense is not a problem."

"Please Madam and the girl rest here during this period. As soon as I know the whereabouts of Liu Yuzhou, I will send someone to take the Madam and the girl back."

Mrs. Liu Bei shook her head and said, "I don't mean that by concubine."

"No matter whether your husband is still alive or not, he does things without caring about his family."

"In other words, for my husband, our mother and daughter are the burden."

"We have wandered around several times, and it is also a shameful thing for my husband. Since this is the case, I don't want my daughter to go back."

"What's more, if something unexpected happens to my husband, even if I die, she will have nothing to rely on."

"She has also reached the age of marriage, please find an honest man and marry her."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red.

Yuan Xi smiled wryly, "Why are you in such a hurry, madam?"

Mrs. Liu Bei shook her head and said, "I know what I am doing."

"The concubine's requirements are not high. She doesn't want a high-ranking scholar or a powerful party. She just wants a few acres of Susukida at home, and it's fine if she can treat her well."

Yuan Xi took a look at Mrs. Liu, and saw that her limbs were slender and slender, probably because of running around, she didn't have the feeling of sickness and weakness of ordinary noble women, but she showed a healthy vitality.

Moreover, his facial features are well-proportioned, much better than his parents, and he still has a faint sense of heroism. Although he is not as good as the outstanding women around Yuan Xi, he still has his own charm.

Mrs. Liu Bei saw Yuan Xi sizing up Mrs. Liu, and hurriedly added, "She is rough and clumsy, and being a concubine is really unattainable. Please forgive me, my lord."

Lu Lingqi and Mi Zhen who were behind Yuan Xi couldn't help but looked at each other with weird expressions. It was originally a very sad thing, but seeing Mrs. Liu Bei still be so wary of Yuan Xi at this time, the two women felt quite funny.

The rumors about Yuan Xi's lust are probably already famous all over the world.

Yuan Xi touched the sweat on his forehead, smiled wryly and said, "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely find a good home for the girl."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu Bei felt relieved and said to Mrs. Liu, "Thank you, envoy."

Seeing Liu's prostration and Yuan Xi returning the salute, she knew that Yuan Xi would never break his promise, so she felt relieved.

At this moment, she had fulfilled her wish, and immediately felt relieved, feeling that her whole body had lost all strength, so she fell to the side.

Everyone was shocked and quickly called the doctors to come in for treatment, but Mrs. Liu Bei was so exhausted that she could hardly speak.

Seeing his appearance, everyone knew that they might not be able to last for a few days, but they didn't expect Madam Liu Bei to hold Yuan Xi's sleeve tightly, and let out a weak voice, "Master, if I die, she will keep my filial piety." Three years, I'm afraid it will be delayed, who knows what will happen in a few years?"

"In that case, while I'm still alive, please find someone to marry me to."

Mrs. Liu said sadly: "Mom."

Mrs. Liu Bei glared, "Tell me what to say, kneel down and thank the envoy!" After saying this, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and cold sweat continued to ooze from her head.

Seeing Mrs. Liu kneel down to him, Yuan Xi smiled wryly and said, "Okay, I'll go back and look for it now. Once I have a candidate, I'll discuss it with Madam immediately."

He and Lu Lingqi went out and began to have troubles. In a hurry, where could they find a suitable person?
Mrs. Liu Bei said she was looking for an ordinary family, but Yuan Xi couldn't take it seriously. Mrs. Liu said she was Liu Bei's daughter and the daughter of a state shepherd, so she couldn't really find a farmer for her, right?
Mrs. Liu Bei might not be able to last for two days, so she could only look for it in Haixi City, but most of the city is merchants and there are not many scholars. If Liu Bei matches Liu Bei's daughter with an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will be criticized by the world.

He only felt a headache, and unconsciously looked at Lu Lingqi. Seeing this, Lu Lingqi said, "I'm not good at this kind of thing."

"I'm really tired these two days, I'm going back to sleep first."

After saying that, Lu Lingqi ran away quickly.

Yuan Xi shook his head. He thought about the people around him, but could not think of a suitable candidate. Sun Li's age was suitable, but he was already married, and the Zhen family had some children, but they were all businessmen, so it was not appropriate.

He couldn't think of a clue, thinking that the city is in a mess right now, and the generals are all reorganizing their troops, why don't they ask the counselors?

Yuan Xi thought that Jushu was in the house, so he went all the way to Jushu's house, and saw that he and Lu Xun were pointing in front of the map, reviewing the previous battle.

Lu Xun nodded from time to time, and then asked a few questions, Ju Shou patiently explained, some Lu Xun deeply agreed, but some disagreed with Ju Shou, and the two argued.

Yuan Xi saw the two people talking fiercely, so he didn't go in and listened outside the window. Originally he was afraid of disturbing the two people talking about military matters, but as he listened, he found that he also benefited a lot from it.

Ju Shou and Lu Xun argued for a full quarter of an hour. Ju Shou raised his head by chance and found Yuan Xi was outside, so he hurriedly invited Yuan Xi in.

Yuan Xi said, "Sir, what do you think of Boyan?"

Ju Shou stroked his beard, quite proud, "The thing I am most proud of these few years is that I snatched this disciple from Feng Xiao's hands."

Yuan Xi thought to himself, no, Guo Jia complained to himself every time he got drunk.

Seeing Yuan Xi's distressed face, Ju Shou wondered, "What happened to Shijun?"

Yuan Xi told about Mrs. Liu Bei's affairs, and said: "In a hurry, I'm afraid where can I find a suitable husband for my daughter?"

"It stumps me."

"I came here to ask my husband for advice. Is there a suitable candidate?"

When Jushou heard this, his face was strange, "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you. Could it be that the gentleman is dark under the lamp?"

Seeing Jushou pointing at Lu Xun, Yuan Xi was dumbfounded: "This, how can this be?"

Jushou asked strangely: "Why not?"

"Bo Yan also comes from a noble family and is of the right age. He is also the sworn brother of Shijun. Apart from him, who else can be more suitable than him in Haixi City now?"

Not to mention Lu Xun's bewildered face, Yuan Xi couldn't turn his head around for a while, he found that Lu Xun is indeed the most suitable!

But I ignored it intentionally or unintentionally before, could it be because of my own psychology?

Yuan Xi suddenly realized that he was using Lu Xun as a weapon against Liu Bei in the future!

Regardless of whether there is a Battle of Yiling in this world, if Lu Xun can master it, he will definitely be his own general in the future, and his status and role will be extremely important.

In Yuan Xi's subconscious mind, Liu Bei might become his enemy in the future, so Yuan Xicai subconsciously ignored Lu Xun, because if Lu Xun married Liu Bei's daughter, would he try his best to beat his father-in-law in the future?
Thinking of this, he said to Lu Xun in a shy voice, "What's Bo Yan thinking?"

Lu Xun looked indifferent, and said: "What Xun cares about now is the intensive study of the art of war, and he doesn't care about these things. In order to repay the envoy's kindness, he will respond to the matter, but it will be arranged by the envoy."

Yuan Xi shook his head, "Okay, let me think about it first, and come to you later."

Lu Xun watched Yuan Xi leave, why did he feel that Shi Jun was not very willing?

He said to Jushou: "Is there a better candidate in your mind?"

Ju Shou said with a smile: "How is it possible, unless Shijun himself wants to accept it."

Lu Xun was shocked, "Then I can't agree!"

Ju Shou waved his hand and said: "I just said casually, it is impossible for you to have this idea. He is now Xuzhou Mu, and he no longer needs to marry Liu Yuzhou to strengthen himself, let alone accept Liu Yuzhou's righteous daughter, how can he accept Liu Yuzhou's righteous daughter?" My daughter?"

"But for you, it is a great benefit."

"Your current identity is already independent of the Lu family. If there is a conflict with Jiangdong in the future, what should you do?"

"But if you marry Liu Yuzhou's daughter, you will be able to establish a relationship with Liu Yuzhou's family. Although her whereabouts are unknown now, whether she lives or dies, it will be beneficial to you."

"If he lives, he is not someone who is waiting for you. He will definitely make a comeback in the future and become an important ally of the envoy, which will naturally help you."

"If he dies, the generals and officials under his command will definitely come to serve as envoys. With the relationship of his daughter, these people will support you in the future."

After hearing this, Lu Xun hesitated, "What if Liu Yuzhou and the envoy become enemies in the future?"

Jushou thought for a while and said: "If you have already become a big player at that time, of course you have to draw a clear line between them."

"Women are expensive because of their husbands. If they become a burden to their husbands and sons-in-law, reconciliation between the two parties is the way to protect each other."

After hearing this, Lu Xun smiled wryly, thinking that it really is so.

Yuan Xi was really having a hard time deciding, so he went into Lu Lingqi's room unknowingly, and saw that she was still facing the board wall, sleeping with her head covered, thinking that Lu Lingqi had exhausted a lot of her physical strength in the battle the day before yesterday, and she hadn't recovered either.

While thinking, he lifted the quilt and lay down beside Lu Lingqi.
