Cao Xian lay in Yuan Xi's arms, panting.
She was somewhat hopeful, but also a little confused.
Even if I am a concubine, I still expect to be given a courtesy, and if it is at the prince's mansion, that's it, but it is in the post house outside...
Yuan Xi stopped and said: "This broken inn is too awkward. Let's go back to Guangling."
After hearing this, Cao Xian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling secretly happy in his heart, and crawled into Yuan Xi's arms again.
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Don't think that you got away with it. What did Madam and the girl from the Mi family say today?"
Cao Xian hesitated, and Yuan Xi's hand tightened slightly. Cao Xian groaned and begged for mercy: "I will say it, I will say it. Anyway, if I don't say it, my wife will say it tomorrow."
She said softly: "Actually, it's nothing. Madam just asked the girl from the Mi family, if she could choose, would she choose the young master or Liu Yuzhou."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi said, "Isn't this question a bit too straightforward? How should I ask the girl from the Mi family to answer?"
Cao Xian said: "The Mi family girl thought about it for a long time, but she still answered seriously, madam."
Yuan Xi became interested as soon as he heard this, "What did she say?"
Cao Xian looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid if I tell you, the young master will be unhappy."
Yuan Xi was startled and then said: "Is it possible that she chose Liu Yuzhou?"
"This is actually nothing. How could I be unhappy about it?"
After hearing this, Cao Xian bit his lip and leaned into Yuan Xi's arms again.
Yuan Xi realized something was wrong and said, "Did you say something ugly?"
"Forget it, I won't ask."
Cao Xian held Yuan Xi's hand tightly, finally made up his mind, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, but I'm afraid to say it out and afraid that the young master will think too much."
"The girl from the Mi family said that if we simply look at the young master and Liu Yuzhou, the young master obviously wins in all aspects."
"But there is only one reason, and it is for this reason that she will never choose the young master."
Yuan Xi was startled, how could he have offended her so seriously?
He said aloud: "It doesn't matter, just tell me."
After hearing this, Cao Xian spoke softly: "The girl from the Mi family said that she grew up in Xuzhou, eating rice from Xuzhou and drinking water from Xuzhou."
"She also said that the Mi family is a merchant family. Although they have made some money, since ancient times, merchants have been peasants, farmers, and merchants, and merchants have been considered inferior. The world believes that merchants do not engage in production, but live by stealing people's wealth and anointing. Therefore, the girl from the Mi family feels that, I rely on the people of Xuzhou to support myself."
"And the reason why she didn't choose the young master was because of his Yuan family status."
Yuan Xi was surprised: "What's wrong with the Yuan family? You have no grudges against the Mi family, right?"
Cao Xian said: "The girl from the Mi family said that the Yuan family and Cao Cao were allies of each other. With the connivance of the Yuan family, Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou, so she will never marry someone who is close to the Cao family in this life."
"But she also said that these are all her personal thoughts. She can't decide who she marries. If the Mi family has an idea, she will obey it and will never commit suicide."
Yuan Xi didn't expect that this was the reason. He saw Mi Zhen looking weak and elegant, but he didn't expect that Mi Zhen had such a strong temper and knew how to use words to flatter him.
Cao Xian added: "The girl from the Mi family said that the young master is using her as a bargaining chip for making such a deal. Although she can't resist, she will be very unhappy."
"After hearing this, Madam sighed and said that she admired the behavior of the girl from the Mi family. She also said that the girl from the Mi family might have misunderstood, and her husband was not such a bad person.
Yuan Xi was stunned for a while and then said: "The Mi family girl is very smart, but it's a pity."
"Since she is so resistant, I don't want to force it, so let's forget it."
He suddenly felt Cao Xian's body trembling slightly in his arms, and then he reacted and said, "Did the words of the girl from the Mi family remind you of those painful things in the past?"
Cao Xian twitched his nose a few times and cried softly.
"I've been having nightmares."
"In the dream, my father's head was right in front of me, and his wide-open eyes kept staring at me."
"I'm... very scared. I'm afraid that something bad will happen to the young master one day."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi gently hugged Cao Xian tightly and said, "No, nothing will happen to any of us."
Cao Xian shook his head and said, "I am very ashamed."
"The master saved my mother and daughter. Logically speaking, I should be grateful, but later on I was greedy and had unrealistic illusions."
"I thought it would be great if I could use the help of the young master to avenge my father and kill Cao Cao."
Yuan Xi spoke up: "It is human nature to avenge your father."
Cao Xian shed tears, "But I just want to please the young master, but a large part of it is for this purpose."
"It wasn't until today after listening to the words of the girl from the Mi family that I suddenly realized what would happen if the young master loses?"
"I can see that the girl from the Mi family likes the young master very much, but she would rather break off the relationship with him than use marriage as a condition to encourage him to achieve his goals."
"Isn't I despicable in comparison?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi felt a little heavy and couldn't help but pat Cao Xian on the shoulder, "No, you are all fine."
"I will end this chaos."
"I will eliminate all obstacles in the way one by one. If I don't deal with them, they will deal with me."
"Everyone in this world can no longer look back."
After hearing this, Cao Xian raised his head and said, "Master, please let me stay with you whether I live or die."
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Cao Xian then broke down in tears and smiled, "Speaking of which, I can only avoid nightmares when I fall asleep next to the young master."
"In the future, the young master will have many wives and concubines, but don't forget the concubines."
Yuan Xi was moved in his heart and said: "Don't worry, there will be a day when all your dreams are sweet dreams."
"The people of the world will sooner or later be able to sleep peacefully."
Cao Xian nodded: "Young Master is a very nice person. Gongsun Zan is your mortal enemy, and Young Master also protected his family."
"Those boring people also say that the young master has taken over Gongsun Zan's wife. Well, they are all bad people who spread rumors. I know that the young master doesn't think so at all."
Yuan Xi touched his nose awkwardly and thought to himself, don't think too much of me, I will be very stressed.
Cao Xian sobbed softly again, "Master, I must live a long life."
The moonlight outside the window shone in. Cao Xian was already asleep in Yuan Xi's arms, but Yuan Xi was not sleepy.
God brought him to this era. If he cannot let people in parallel time and space live a better life, he will not only be sorry to the people in the world, but also sorry to himself, and even more sorry to the people around him who have expectations for him.
Thinking of the chaos that would last for hundreds of years after the Jin Dynasty, Yuan Xi thought that the Sima family seemed to be in Hanoi now?
Sima Yi seems to be only fifteen or sixteen years old now. How about finding an opportunity to hack him to death?
Zhen Mi woke up early in the morning and heard the busy sounds in the yard. There seemed to be many people walking around.
She got up, got dressed, and walked out of the house, only to find Yuan Xi and Tian Yu directing the accompanying soldiers and packing their bags.
Zhen Mi was surprised and said, "What are you going to do, husband?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I suddenly figured out something. Now there is no need to stay in Xiapi. Let's go back to Guangling."
Zhen Mi saw Yuan Xi looking refreshed and wondered what happened last night?
She couldn't help but ask: "Where is the girl from the Mi family?"
Yuan Xi waved his hand, "This matter is not the most important to me right now, so I won't force it."
"If the Mi family is interested, they will come to me."
"There are too many things waiting for me to do now, but it's hard work, Madam. I have been running around for several days, and I have only been in Xiapi City for two days, and then I have to go back with me."
After hearing this, Zhen Mi smiled and said, "Wherever my husband goes, I will go."
While the two were talking, there was the sound of wheels outside the inn, and a dozen carriages lined up at the door.
Chen Deng jumped off the carriage and said with a wry smile: "I took the Young Master's order last night, and Deng sorted out the Chen family's classics overnight."
"I will follow the young master to Guangling for his appointment first. The other children of the Chen family will rush to Guangling in the next few days."
Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yuanlong. These classics are far more valuable to me than a county."
He turned back and said: "Everyone, please listen, these classics are the hope for our Han people to have enough food and clothing in the future. We must protect them with all our strength and not lose anything!"
All the soldiers shouted: "No!"
Hua Tuo also jumped off a carriage, walked to Yuan Xi in a few steps, and said, "I would also like to ask you, sir, to ask someone to take care of my carriage. There are hundreds of medical books in it, all of which I have annotated and revised. It will be written into a book in the future.”
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "No problem, please don't worry, sir!"
Seeing Hua Tuo walking with wind and advancing and retreating quickly, he asked curiously: "Sir, are you noble this year?"
Hua Tuo stroked his beard and said, "I am fifty-one this year."
Yuan Xi couldn't help but stare. He knew his destiny when he was fifty. In this era, very few people could live to be fifty, and most people couldn't walk much at this age. How come Hua Tuo was so agile and faster than young people? Even more powerful?
He wondered: "Sir, is this the medicine and stone conditioning that is effective, or is it because he has been running around collecting medicine all year round to maintain his body in such good condition?"
After hearing this, Hua Tuo said proudly: "Young master, these words are quite good for health."
"If you want to live a long life, you must not sit for long periods of time. You must move your body to stay in shape."
"Both methods the young master said are reasonable, but I have another trick."
"Even if you can't travel far to take medicine, you can do a few sets of boxing every day. As long as you persist every day, over time, your body will naturally be healthy."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi blurted out: "Wu Qinxi?"
Hua Tuo was surprised and said, "How did you know, Master?"
Yuan Xi had no choice but to prevaricate, and Hua Tuo asked the boy next to him to get a few rolls of silk cloth from the carriage, handed it to Yuan Xi and said: "This is what I have learned from my experience in the minds of five birds after traveling around the world for decades, and practicing it myself."
"Since practicing, my body has become stronger and stronger. It is obviously quite effective."
"If I practice it from an early age, the effect will be even better."
Yuan Xi took it respectfully, thinking that this is a good thing. Although the effect may not be seen in a short time, as long as you persist for a long time, it will definitely prolong your life.
He said aloud: "If I can participate in the compilation of history in the future, sir, I will definitely leave a mark."
Hua Tuo burst out laughing when he heard this. Who doesn't want to leave his name in history?
Liu Bei was talking to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, especially when Mi Zhu came over last night and talked about the girls of the Mi family. Zhang Fei said displeased: "This Yuan family is shameless. I heard that he has many women, and he is still so greedy." !”
"If you don't want the girl from the Mi family, you might as well give it to me!"
Liu Bei thought to himself, Mi Zhu would not agree.
While he was talking, he heard a soldier coming in and saying, "Shijun Yuan is leaving today and has sent someone to say goodbye."
The three of them were startled. Yesterday Yuan Tan left on the front foot, and today Yuan Xi is about to leave on the back foot. Why are they all so anxious?
