The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 230 Xia Zi

The Confucian scholar was a little confused when he heard the words, he chuckled dryly, patted his head foolishly, and had a sorry look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang sighed. This kid is a bit naive and pure, but he is not a guy with many evil intentions. It's just that he has stayed in the greenhouse for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the dangers of this world, that's all.

Yuan Shang was confused. Why did such a kid appear in the bitter cold place of Linrong City?Could it be that the beautiful articles and the comfortable and elegant middle-earth life can no longer satisfy him?

"Looking at your appearance, you probably aren't from the neighborhood. Why did you come here?" Yuan Shang touched his chin and asked the young scholar curiously.

The young Confucian scholar thought about it carefully, and then replied: "If I say that I am tired of the conflicts and corruption in the Middle Earth, and would rather come to this otherworldly place to avoid suspicion and live in seclusion, would you believe me?"

A look of deep disdain suddenly appeared on Yuan Shang's face, and his eyes were filled with deep disdain.

"Okay, I admit that I quarreled with my father, and I ran out secretly." The young Confucian scholar sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

The young Confucian scholar's complexion is very sincere, and his appearance is very pale. It can be seen at a glance that he is not lying, so Yuan Shang can conclude that what he is telling the truth is just based on his eyesight.

Yuan Shang seemed to nod his head in a daze, and said: "So that's how it is. You ran away from home... Seeing your inexperienced appearance, your attire, and your lack of beating when you were bragging about your father just now, you must be Your family should be quite wealthy, not an ordinary family, did your father find someone to chase you after you ran away from home?"

Hearing the words, the young Confucian scholar laughed happily and said, "They have no brains and think that I am delicate and weak, and I will definitely go to a warm place like the south. I just did the opposite and went north. Come to the frontier! I'm so worried about my father, let's see if he still scolds me~! Do you think I'm smart?"

Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard the words, this kid looks like a blank sheet of paper, he has the nerve to laugh at other people's brains?Thanks to him being able to say it!

"What's your name?" Although he was stupid, he had a good heart, and Yuan Shang and him got along pretty well, so he immediately asked.

The Confucian scholar rolled his eyes, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "In Xiaxia, a mere name is not worth mentioning. How dare you ask your surname?"

The name of Xia Zi is a reversal of the name of Zi Xia, one of the ten philosophers of Confucianism, which was picked up by this child on a whim. It is rumored that Zi Xia belongs to the Wei people, and according to the geographical boundaries, he and this Confucian scholar can be regarded as the same origin.

Yuan Shangwei cupped his hands and said lightly: "It's easy to say, my name is Yuan San!"

"Yuan San?" The Confucian scholar was stunned when he heard the words. It took a little effort for him to make up a pseudonym, but this guy was good enough to fool himself with the name of any stall on the street... Do you think I'm stupid?
Yuan Shang didn't take it seriously, looked at Xia Zi with a smile and said: "I said Xia Zi, you ran away from home, you don't know the place where you live, and you don't have a place to stay. You are a fat sheep, I think you are a good person, if you think it is okay, you might as well stay with me for a few days, I am also here to hang around in Saibei, multiple people are multiple companions, what do you think?"

Xia Zi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then hurriedly nodded and said: "It's very good, it's very good, if that's the case, then I'll give up this face and bother Brother Yuan!"

"Good talk!"

*********************
As a result, the young Confucian scholar followed Yuan Shang and came to the post house. It happened that Zhang Hong, the leader of Linrong City, sent someone to invite Yuan Shang to the prefect's mansion for a banquet. Yuan Shang tidied up and asked Xia Zi to bathe and change , both of them were well-dressed and clean, and they took Yuan Shang's three wives with them, and drove slowly towards the prefect's mansion in a carriage.

Yuan Shang's three wives obviously didn't expect Yuan Shang to turn around and bring this silly boy back. It was very surprising. What's more interesting is that this Confucian scholar followed Yuan Shang to dinner and insisted on Carrying bamboo slips, pen and ink with him, his behavior is unreasonable, he is really a weird person.

On the carriage, Xia Houjuan leaned on his chin, looked at Xia Zi quietly for a long time, and suddenly said curiously: "You just said that your name is Zixia, right?"

Xia Zi was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded slowly.

Xia Houjuan frowned, showing a thoughtful look, and said curiously: "It's strange, although I can be sure that I have never seen you, but why is there always a gap between the expression on your face and the eyebrows? A familiar feeling, as if I have seen you somewhere before... Could it be that I forgot? Hmm... Do you have any impression of me?"

Hearing this, Xia Zi rubbed his chin and thought about it, then shook his head affirmatively, and said, "I haven't seen it before!"

Xia Houjuan pouted when he heard the words, and said to himself: "This is weird, really strange..."

However, Zhen Mi pursed her lips and smiled lightly, patted Xia Houjuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sister Xiahou, this is all your worrying, there are so many people with similar appearances in the world, why meet someone who looks like deja vu?" Yes, you know all of them? So sure."

Xia Houjuan was stunned when he heard the words, nodded and said: "According to what you said, sister Zhen... Hehe, it really is!"

Xia Zi looked at Xia Houjuan and Zhen Mi thoughtfully for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and asked Yuan Shangyan who was sitting beside him, "Are these two your wife?"

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded lightly, and said, "Of course!"

"It's really a heavenly man!" Xia Zi looked at Yuan Shang with envy and longing, and said, "Although your Excellency sees it as a bit unruly and uninhibited in speech, it is really true that you can marry such a peerless beauty who looks like the world and has a good appearance. It is enviable, looking at Brother Yuan's two wives, I can't help but feel a little poetic, if you don't mind, I would like to write two poems and present them to the two wives as a token of respect, how about it?"

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I can't tell, but you are really an authentic literati. Seeing the appearance of my two wives, you can be inspired to write lyrics. Let's do it, so that I can wish Yaxing!"

Hearing this, Xia Zi hurriedly went to the bamboo slips from his cloth bag and wrote two poems and poems on the spot, both of which were songs dedicated to the beauty and virtuousness of Xia Houjuan and Zhen Mi. It is a masterpiece that cannot be stopped.

Lu Lingqi on the side watched coldly, watched quietly for a long time, and suddenly said: "I said that you, a Confucian scholar, are so ignorant, and you are also my husband's wife, why do you only give poems to my two younger sisters, but don't write a poem?" For me? Could it be that I treat Mrs. Ben as dead?"

Hearing this, Xia Zi blinked her eyes innocently, looked at Lu Lingqi with some horror, and said in a low voice: "This lady is full of courage, with extraordinary moves, and her domineering aura is unprecedentedly mighty, making it difficult to look up and wait and see. With little talent and virtue, I really can't think of any good articles to praise Madam, and I hope you will forgive me a lot."

Yuan Shang chuckled, his eyes revealed the color of long-lost flirting and trickery, he slowly took out from his bosom the lyrics Xia Zi wrote for him on the street just now, handed it to Lu Lingqi and said: "Who says Mr. Xia has no good chapters?" To describe Madam, in fact, he has just finished it a long time ago, but he has been keeping a low profile, and he is not ashamed to take it out, Madam may wish to read it, it is a very good article!"

Seeing Yuan Shang come up with the ridicule lyrics just now, Xia Zi's face suddenly dripped with sweat, staring at Yuan Shang in a daze, he looked up to the sky in annoyance and anger and said, "Heaven will kill me!"

However, Lu Lingqi picked up the lyrics and music curiously, stared at Xia Zi fiercely, her silver teeth almost gnawed.

"Her wife is tough and reckless... a pair of real tigers and wolves... Hehe, you dare to write, and you are quite eloquent."

Shocked by Lu Lingqi's might, Xia Zi hastily raised his hand to wipe off his sweat, and forced himself to laugh guiltily: "Madam, praise, praise, praise..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a fist punched directly from Lu Lingqi's chest, "Boom!" The punch directly hit Xia Zi's eye socket, and then, there was a burst of noise from above the carriage. It was enough to resound through the sky with a mournful howl.

********************
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Prefect's Mansion. Yuan Shang and others got out of the car one after another. Everyone else got out of the car. Everyone else was normal, but Lu Lingqi looked refreshed and relaxed, and Xia Zi, on the other hand, turned into a literati. His elegant demeanor, the circle of his left eye has turned black, like the green-faced beast Yang Zhi, and the panda demeanor of a national treasure hero. Indescribably cute.

Yuan Shang stood under the car, looked at Xia Zi with a look of joy, and smiled while watching: "Sure enough, he is suave, with a good appearance, and he is so handsome with dark circles, like a giant panda... You are so cute even when you are beaten, you can be regarded as No. 1 in ancient and modern times."

Xia Zi looked at Yuan Shang with a depressed expression, and while rubbing his swollen eye sockets, he said angrily, "You definitely did it on purpose just now, didn't you?...... Also, what is a panda?"

Yuan Shang shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said: "So what if I did it on purpose? Who gave you a clue to fall into my hands, the world is dangerous, I just gave you a practical lesson of personal experience... As for pandas , is a very rare omnivorous mammal, bear-like, small-headed, bipedal, black and white, and can lick copper, iron and bamboo bones."

Hearing this, Xia Zi couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed, and said sadly: "Sure enough, it is heaven who committed evil, but you can forgive yourself for committing evil, and the sages of Mencius are indeed sincere and do not deceive me!"

Yuan Shang shrugged slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, who told you to write lyrics and music with your hands, so you can remember them in the future?"

The two were chatting with laughter, but they saw Sima Yi hastily rushed out from the Linrong Prefect's Mansion, first saluted Yuan Shang respectfully, then glanced curiously at Xia Zi behind Yuan Shang, and said in a low voice: "My lord is here!" ! The subordinate is late to greet you, and I hope the lord will forgive me!"

Yuan Shang nodded slightly, then looked behind Sima Yi, frowned and said, "Zhang Hong, the prefect of Linrong, why didn't he come out to greet him in person?"

Sima Yi went over and whispered in Yuan Shang's ear: "My lord, Zhang Hong is meeting with the envoy of Tadun, the third king of Wuhuan in Liaoxi... My lord, it seems that something serious has happened on the side of Saibei!"
