"Hahaha! Mrs. Zhang! You are asking the question knowingly! With your exquisite skills, you probably know the reason for your nephew's visit!"
"Besides, with the relationship between our two families, you can call me Xianyi as long as you want, you're welcome!"
Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and even poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Zhang himself, which can be said to have given him enough face!
The woman in front of her is also fair and beautiful, her skin is as smooth as milk!
Although she is 30 years old, she is well maintained, her face is clean without any trace of spots, and she looks about 24 or [-] years old.
And the figure is plump, it should be big, it should be warped!
She was a widow many years ago, and after taking over many affairs of the Zhen family, she also let the Zhang family develop an aura of high position and authority!
It looks very convincing!
But Yuan Xi didn't dare to make up her mind, because his father Yuan Shao...had been making up his mind for a long time!
I have always wanted to take Mrs. Zhang as my concubine!
Think of the other party when he was young, but also the existence of Yan Jue!Even after becoming a wife, many men still like her.
Most importantly, marrying her... is equivalent to taking half of the Zhen family!
Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly, but did not follow what the other party said.
The purpose of the other party's visit, her informant had already inquired clearly, it involved her most precious little daughter, so she had to be cautious!
Although Yuan Xi's family background is very strong and worthy enough for her daughter, she still wants to see how this kid's character is!
Her daughter, don't marry trash and mediocrity!Her Zhen family can support her forever!
"Master Yuan came here for Xiao Mi?"
Yuan Xi nodded immediately, his eyes were full of admiration!
"That's right! Aunt Zhang, I'm telling you the truth! My nephew has heard Miss Zhen Mi's name for a long time!"
"No one in Jizhou is ignorant of his kindness, knowledge of books and courtesy, and even more beautiful!"
"The last time my nephew was lucky enough to see her beauty at the Lantern Festival, she was immediately amazed! After returning home, Miss Zhen's smiles and frowns were imprinted in my nephew's heart, and I will never forget them for a long time!"
"After the torment of longing, my nephew couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to come to Zhen's house to see Miss Zhen, so as to relieve the pain of lovesickness!"
"By the way... let's have a closer relationship between the Yuan Zhen family! What do you think...?"
Chapter 475 The Zhen Family's Dilemma
Hearing Yuan Xi's words, Mrs. Zhang frowned.
She needed the big tree of the Yuan family to enjoy the shade, so she also cooperated with the other family and gave the Yuan family a lot of help.
But her little daughter... She likes it very much, she is very intelligent and virtuous, and she is really reluctant to marry her.
"Young Master Yuan, the little girl, A Mi, is still young, and I'm afraid she hasn't gotten married yet! It's against the law!"
"Furthermore... how can my little girl be worthy of Young Master Yuan with her appearance like a willow tree? Your Yuan family is the fourth generation and third father! There is something wrong!"
Yuan Xi laughed at this remark.
He had also heard rumors about Zhen Mi.
Immortal quilt... noble status!
If you want to come to the Zhang family, you still want to wait for the opportunity to see if your daughter can marry into the palace, right?
Yuan Xi's mind became active, he guessed right, Mrs. Zhang really had this idea!
Anyway, my daughter is still young, let's wait a few more years to see!Even if she can't marry into the palace, with Zhen Mi's looks, she will definitely have no problem marrying a good family!
"Mrs. Zhang, although Miss Zhen is still young, you can make an appointment first! Wait for Miss Zhen to grow up for two years before we get married!"
"Besides... you are too modest. With the talent of your daughter, Miss Zhen, she is enough to be the main wife of my Yuan family as Dangxi!"
Thinking of Zhen Ji's beautiful face and her calm demeanor, Yuan Xi's heart couldn't stop beating!
Ever since he met Zhen Mi, he has been thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night!
Although the other party is still very young, it is normal for this age to be a dozen or 20 years old!
Just like his father, Yuan Shao... also raised a fifteen or sixteen-year-old concubine...
Mrs. Zhang's complexion changed slightly, is his wife?This position is different!
"Is this what Young Master Yuan meant, or Master Yuan?"
Yuan Xi smiled slightly.
"This... is not only the meaning of my nephew, but also the meaning of my father Yuan Shao. You... consider it? Let our two families get closer?"
"As long as the relationship goes further, your Zhen family will surpass all other families in Jizhou in the future!"
"Even...my father will go to the imperial court to ask for a high official for the two brothers! So as to restore the glory of the Zhen family!"
Although the Zhen family is a rich family in Hebei, it looks extremely beautiful, but Yuan Xi, who is also a rich family, knows the twists and turns.
The Zhen family... the status of the prominent family is already worrying!
The prominence of this family can be traced back to Zhen Han in the late Western Han Dynasty.
Zhen Han was the son-in-law of Kong Guang, a great Confucian in the Han Dynasty. Kong Guang was a descendant of Confucius.
Both Zhen Han and Zhen Feng of the same clan were close friends of Wang Mang, and both of them had been great Sima.
During Wang Mang's administration, Zhen Handan was the third prince, and Zhen Feng was the fourth assistant above the three princes.
At the same time, both of them were made dukes by Wang Mang, and they were the talents Wang Mang relied on most besides his own relatives!
To put it bluntly, at the peak of the Zhen family, they were no weaker than the Yuan family!Even more than that!
Even the current Zhen family has a hereditary title of marquis with a salary of two thousand shi, which has great influence!
It's a pity that the glory can't last forever... Since then, there have been no high-ranking officials in the Zhen family, and the biggest one is Zhen Yi's Shang Cai Ling, so that the influence has been declining!
This is the problem that the Zhen family is facing. If it is not resolved, the Zhen family may also decline in the future!So they will choose to bet on his Yuan family!
Because of this, the Zhen family would choose to open a warehouse for disaster relief when there were many refugees!Harvest a lot of popular support and increase the influence of the family!
Mrs. Zhang was actually moved by Yuan Xi's proposal!
Why is she supporting the Yuan family so much?Don't you think about all the glory?
Now as long as the daughter is married, the two families can be directly united closer!
The glory of the past has passed away, and now the Yuan family is a warlord, and the Zhen family needs the cooperation of such a powerful family.
Moreover, she also knew Yuan Xi's personality, he didn't like fighting for power, and his personality was milder than the other brothers, which was not bad.
But Mrs. Zhang is now one of the power holders of a big family, and must seek benefits for the family, and will not sell her daughter just because of a bad check!
The Zhen family was left by her husband, and her daughter... is also her and his husband's heart and soul!
Although she also really wanted to find someone to rely on, the thought was not so hard, and she wanted a man to hold up the sky for her again!
But after so many years, all those who want to pursue her are interested in the property of the Zhen family, even Yuan Shao is no exception!
Her heart is like a mirror, as a young woman, she is very clear about a man's motives!But it's no longer a teenage girl, who will be coaxed around with a few sweet words!
"What Mr. Yuan said is very deceptive, but...Master Yuan rejected His Majesty's conferment of the title of Taiwei last time. He wants to ask for another high official for my son. I'm afraid..."
Mrs. Zhang showed a look of embarrassment. The side meaning of these words is that your father Yuan Shao doesn't even want the Taiwei, so he is just so official!
What official can I ask for my son?County magistrate?
Hearing this, Yuan Xi still didn't understand, it was obvious that he didn't have enough bargaining chips!
"Hahaha! Mrs. Zhang doesn't know that the reason why my father rejected the position of Taiwei is because the position of Taiwei is not worthy of my father!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Xi's eyes shone brightly, and there was also strong hatred!
"Furthermore... Cao Cao suggested that His Majesty appoint this captain. We suspect that Cao Cao hijacked His Majesty and purposely created a captain to humiliate my father!"
"Otherwise, with my father's achievements, loyalty, and strength, how could His Majesty only confer one captain? Absolutely confer the title of Great General!"
"You know, Cao Cao was just my father's subordinate before, and he had to watch my father's face!"
"But now the position of General is being taken away by this thief Cao who threatens His Majesty!"
"My father has already sent someone to Chenliu to talk to His Majesty, and to return to the position of General! By the way, take Your Majesty to Jizhou!
"At that time... I will let the two brothers become great generals. With my father's help, it will be easy to climb up! The glory of the Zhen family can be reappeared!"
There was passion on Yuan Xi's face, and he kept drawing big cakes!
Mrs. Zhang was also very moved when she heard it. There is no one in her Zhen family who is in the military and political affairs, so she doesn't know much about the secrets.
All she knew was that Yuan Shao now has over a hundred thousand soldiers, and his strength is so strong that even Gongsun Zan of Youzhou was huddled in Yijing after being counter-killed!
Moreover, her eldest son died of illness, and the remaining two sons are her darlings. Whether the Zhen family can come out to serve in the army or politics depends on these two brothers.
The position of the general is not too small, the most important thing is the confidant of the general, it is easy to be promoted!
But after calming down a little, Mrs. Zhang hesitated. This is still a blank check, and there is no real benefit!
What if you don't get the emperor, or you don't get the position of general?Wasn't my daughter ruined in vain?
"This...let me think about it!"
"Mrs. Zhang, don't think about it! As long as you agree to this marriage, your nephew will be your son-in-law from now on!"
"Before I came, my father told me that when the two families got married, it was the day when your Zhen family became the sheriff of Zhongshan County! The position of sheriff is also one of the betrothal gifts!"
"What do you think?"
The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth were slightly raised as he looked at Mrs. Zhang, his eyes were bright, and he hummed coldly in his heart.
When my father takes you down, your Zhen family will belong to my Yuan family!So what if I give you the position of sheriff?
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Zhang nodded.
His daughter can marry into Yuan's family, it is not wronged her!I think I can live a good life!
At the same time, it can also benefit the family, why not do it?
"Since Mr. Yuan is so sincere, I will answer..."
Before he finished speaking, the guard at the door suddenly rushed in!
"Report to Madam! There are a few nobles who claim to be wealthy businessmen at the door, and they say they have important matters to discuss!"
Chapter 476 Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Two Scumbags
Zhang's and Yuan Xi's brows were all frowned, this matter is at a critical moment, what are you making trouble for?
Isn't that disturbing?
It's like when men and women take off their clothes and prepare to work, you suddenly say that you can't stand up, it's a disappointment!
"I don't see you! A few rich merchants in the area, how can they be more important than Mr. Yuan?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xi's complexion softened, and hearing these words made him feel extremely comfortable.
Seeing this, the guard became a little anxious, and he collected money from a group of people outside. If the matter couldn't be done, wouldn't he be ashamed of them?
Take people's money and do your best!
"But ma'am! These people are dressed very noblely. From a small point of view, I'm afraid they are not as simple as rich businessmen!"
"You also know the vision of a villain, and you have never looked down on others! If they have a lot of background, I'm afraid they will make enemies for nothing!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang thought for a moment, then nodded.
She felt that the matter of her daughter had yet to be discussed, and she had to ask her precious daughter's opinion before making a decision no matter what!
And she understands the guard's gaze!
The gatekeepers outside are all with good eyesight!The guards are the face of the big family, if they offend those who shouldn't be offended by using those who don't have good eyesight, isn't it looking for enemies for the family?
"In that case, please come in!"
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, and the guard ran out happily.
If the other party doesn't give him money, he won't bother to speak for them!
This is the benefit of banknote ability!
