In that dream, in a paradise-like paradise, with fragrant peach blossoms and intoxicating fragrance, I hugged this peerless beauty under the peach tree, laughing, kissing, and caressing...
At this glance, the girl was also stunned. In an instant, a blush flew over her face, showing her shyness, which made people infinitely fond of her.
In Yuan Xi's opinion, the girl was not as beautiful as Diao Xiuer, nor as elegant as Cai Yan, but her every move showed the elegance of a lady, and she was a complete beauty.
"It's actually a girl? Just as the girl said, we met again." Yuan Xi said in surprise. It turned out that this girl was indeed the girl he rescued on the streets of Yecheng when Jizhou was first established. Unexpectedly, they would meet again now. Yuan Xi Xi felt an indescribable feeling.
Yuan Xi was the first to recover from his daze, put down his gaffe, and held his arms in greeting, fearing that the girl would misunderstand and offend the beauty.
The girl smiled sweetly and said angrily: "Yes, sir, we meet again." The dialogue between the girl and Yuan Xi was as natural and comfortable as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Miss, this is a birthday gift for the old lady. I'm afraid it's not appropriate." The shop owner was a little frightened and embarrassed, and whispered to the girl at the right time.
The girl ignored the shopkeeper. She gave Yuan Xi, Cai Yan and Diao Xiuer a slight blessing, and said with a faint smile, "Just buy it. The other silks and satins in the shop are also high-quality products from all over the world. If you like anything, please pick one up." This is a token of gratitude from the store for Miss Young Master’s patronage.”
The girl behaved appropriately and showed her attitude to Yuan Xi and others in a graceful manner, which immediately won the favor of several people.
Yuan Xi heard the girl say it as if she was the owner of the store. It seems that this girl's background is not ordinary. She seems to be the legitimate daughter of a large family, otherwise she would not have such magnanimity.
At this time, after listening to the girl's words, Diao Xiuer and Cai Yan were embarrassed to ask for the Shu Brocade again.
Yuan Xi secretly praised the girl's words and deeds in dealing with things. The girl was not very young, but she was very sophisticated and wise in her ways of dealing with people and things. It was obvious that her tutoring knowledge was extraordinary.
"I'm so disrespectful. I haven't asked Miss yet. Who am I to ask?" Yuan Xi was not polite. Since we met again, it was a good thing to ask.
"This shop is the property of Zhongshan Wuji Zhen's family. My father is Cai Ling Zhenyi, and this little girl is the eighth in the family." The girl looked at Yuan Xi calmly and said.
Cai Yan and Diao Xiuer were fine, but Yuan Xi was excited, Zhen Luo? Zhen Mi? Luo Shen?
This was the head wife in the previous life. Now that Gao Yue is here, she can only be a noble lady. He wasn't sure, but the girl politely announced her home, obviously not telling her her first name. At this moment, Yuan Xi didn't know how to describe his heart. The question that had been lingering in his heart suddenly got the answer.
Is this the inertia behind the wheel of history? Or maybe it's fate.
In the eyes of future generations, she is the Zhen Mi who is as famous as Diao Chan and the two Qiaos from Jiangdong. She is the Zhen Luo who makes the Cao family and his son fall in love with her, and the brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are crazy about her. She is the famous one in "Luo Shen Fu" that will last forever. Luo Shen.
Yuan Xi's last thought was, was it fate that made us meet? My Luo Shen, can I bear the disappearance of such a beautiful face in my life?
No, I can't, I must change history. Zhen Mi, you are mine, and I will not give Cao Pi a chance to harm you. My Roselle.
Cai Yan glanced at the strange Yuan Xi, turned around and thanked the girl, then asked a servant to take away the Shu Brocade.
Before leaving the house, Yuan Xi paused. He turned around and smiled lightly at the girl: "My Excellency Yuan Xianyi, thank you very much for your kindness. We will meet again in the future." Yuan Xi said loudly.
The girl was stunned and murmured: "I know the famous Second Young Master Yuan. I have known him for a long time... that... dream. "
Heshun Winery is the most famous winery in Yecheng, rivaling Zuixianlou in Luoyang. When passing by, Yuan Xi saw two strong men with swords standing downstairs of the winery.
Yuan Xi immediately rolled his eyes and made up his mind. Under Diao Xiuer and Cai Yan's confused gaze, he smiled lightly and said: "Xiuer, Zhaoji, someone is making a deal today, I will take you there."
It turned out that he recognized that the two people were none other than the guards he sent to Guo Jia. Guo Jia must have been drinking in the wine shop, so as the lord, he had to take care of his subordinates, right.
Seeing Yuan Xi and others approaching, the two guards also recognized Yuan Xi. After saluting, they led Yuan Xi and others into the second floor of the wine shop and found Guo Jia who was drinking.
"It's rare that the young master, Miss Cai and Miss Wang are three distinguished guests. We are so humble to welcome you from afar." Guo Jia said with a smile after seeing Yuan Xi and others.
"I remember that Fengxiao received his salary the day before yesterday. Fengxiao, do you think it's your turn to be the host?" Yuan Xi also joked.
Guo Jia stood up and saluted, and asked Yuan Xi and Cai Yandiao Xiuer to take their seats. At this time, it was very common for men and women to sit at the same table, and there was no such thing as the Li family's defense after the Song Dynasty. Then he asked Xu Chu and other tiger guards to open another seat.
"Being a host, that's no problem. It's just that after I use up my meager salary, I have to live with the young master." Guo Jia said humorously, which immediately made the two women smile.
Yuan Xi also smiled and asked the waiter to serve food and drinks. Since Guo Jia was the host today, how could he be so polite?
After the food and wine were served, Cai Yan, Diao Xiuer and the other two girls only tasted the dishes. Guo Jia also restrained his usual carefree attitude because of the presence of his female family members.
But he still kept scanning the passing women with his eyes. This caused the pretty and charming Diao Xiuer beside Yuan Xi to frown and said angrily, "Mr. Guo, you are not a good person."
Guo Jia hurriedly withdrew his gaze, which was not enough, and said seriously: "Nonsense, how can I not be a good person? I have read the books of sages since I was a child, how can I not be a good person?"
Diao Xiuer curled her lips and said disdainfully, "You are a good person if you read poetry and books, and you are a scumbag."
Yuan Xi said sternly, "Xiu'er, you are going too far. How can you talk to Mr. Guo like this? What a polite scum--you are simply a hypocrite."
It caused Diao Xiuer to smile coquettishly, and Cai Yan to roll their eyes, and Yuan Xi was also drunk with all kinds of amorous feelings.
"Fengxiao is living a leisurely life these days." Yuan Xi asked.
"The young master is burdened with heavy responsibilities and has a beautiful lady by his side. Of course he is not as leisurely as Jia Lai." Guo Jia said after listening to Yuan Xi's hint.
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head, looked up at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, do you have any solution for my troubles?"
Guo Jia continued to riddle and said: "In Jia's opinion, the young master can achieve his wish calmly."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Yuan Xi remembered the situation when he came to Guo Jia to discuss countermeasures three days ago.
That day, Guo Jia just smiled and said, "I'm afraid the young master has already made a plan."
Yuan Xi was dissatisfied with his advanced appearance, but he also knew that it would take time to get used to Guo Jia. "I'm still a little confused and don't know where to start. Please teach me Fengxiao."
"The young master should start from three parties, one is Zang Hong, the other is the eldest son, and the third is Yuan Zhoumu." Guo Jia analyzed calmly.
Yuan Xi understood somewhat, but still asked Guo Jia to tell him the specific strategy, otherwise he would have to think about everything by himself. Who is the king and who is the minister? Being hands-on in everything is not the way to be a king.
Guo Jia sighed and said: "Zang Ziyuan is actually a really handsome man, but he will also be jealous of Master Zhou Mu because of his fame. The young master can deepen Yuan Zhou Mu's suspicion of him."
In fact, for Zang Hong, Guo Jia actually didn't want to plot against such a famous hero, but his relationship with Yuan Xi as a monarch and minister had been determined, and he had to do his best, so he had no choice but to deal with Zang Hong.
As he spoke, Guo Jia stared closely at Yuan Xi and said, "The eldest son is very jealous of the second master. He may be able to get the second master to stay away from Jizhou. He may not be able to ask for it, and there must be someone who can help him facilitate this."
Yuan Xi nodded knowingly and asked Guo Jia to continue.
"Lord Zhou Mu, haha, it would be best to ask Madam Liu to come forward, but Madam may not be willing to let the young master leave. It depends on the young master's ability." Guo Jia said slyly.
After receiving the reminder, Yuan Xi immediately asked his confidant Yuan He to bribe Xu You with some money in private.
Xu You understood this and kept creating rumors around Yuan Shao, such as that Zang Hong had a close personal relationship with Tian Feng, and that Zang Hong had great ambitions.
Emperor Taizong Li Shimin also created the Yang Wenqian incident to fight against Prince Li Jiancheng, just like Yuan Xi concocted the Zang Hong incident to fight against Yuan Tan and others.
At Liu's place, Yuan Xi first talked about Yuan Tan's threat, and then talked about the necessity of pacifying Qingzhou and the benefits of being able to control a strong foreign aid.
Although Liu Yu was reluctant to give up, he still blew a lot of wind at Yuan Shao's pillow for the sake of his son's future, adding fuel to Yuan Xi's great cause.
Yuan Xichu
Gao Yue waited outside for a long time, and when there was no sound inside, she let her footsteps make a clicking sound and walked towards Yuan Xi's room.
"Husband?" Gao Yue knocked on the door outside.
"Wugu, the door is unlocked, come in quickly." Yuan Xi's voice came from inside, followed by the coquettish laughter of Lu Zhu.
Gao Yue calmed down, and as soon as she opened the door, she felt someone pick her up from the waist, and then she was lying on a soft quilt like a cloud.
Smelling the heart-stopping breath, Gao Yue's face turned pink and she struggled to get up: "Husband, Wu Gu has something else to tell you. Don't act nonsense. Oh, it's true. Lu Zhu, please let me go..." "
After playing around for a while, the three of them gradually stopped.
Gao Yue blushed, and first pinched Luzhu's little baby cheeks. Seeing that she just giggled and didn't care, she put her slender hand on Yuan Xi's waist and hummed: " It's always like this every time I go somewhere, a good girl like Luzhu, but you taught me bad things."
Yuan Xi didn't care about her tickling, and hummed in comfort: "This is the tacit understanding that Luzhu cherishes me and has cultivated for several years."
But no, the reason why Lu Zhu and he have such a tacit understanding can be said to be entirely due to Yuan Xi.
Gao Yue covered her mouth and had fun for a while, and finally moved away from Yuan Xi's body, letting Yuan Xi sleep in the middle.
Lu Zhu was already a little sleepy after all that torment. She clicked her tongue, hugged one of Yuan Xi's arms, closed her eyes, Yuan Xi kissed Gao Yue's cheek, and said to Gao Yue: "Madam, do you have anything to say to me?" What did your husband say?"
"Oh," Gao Yue said, "Husband, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten that I have met the girl Zhao Ji was with before. Where did you find that Diao Xiu'er?"
Yuan Xi stared inwardly, but still explained: "That is the newly married daughter-in-law of Dong Thief's general, who was robbed by me. Such a beautiful lady can't take advantage of others, can she?"
"Husband, you are honest." Gao Yue said angrily: "But I am such an innocent girl, and you are raped like this. Isn't it a bit unjustifiable?"
"What's the point?" Yuan Xi said nonchalantly.
"that's all?"
"What else?"
Gao Yue looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Don't you, husband, want to give me a status?"
Yuan Xi hugged Gao Yue and said calmly: "She is not qualified for the time being, so it's not impossible to take her into the same room." Of course, Yuan Xi could only say this at this time, so as not to make it difficult for Gao Yue.
"Diao Xiu'er, Diao Chan?" Gao Yue muttered a few words, then raised her head and said, "Could she be the Miss Wang family?"
"Do you know him?" There must be no such person in Luoyang. Otherwise, she should have heard of such a beautiful woman.
"I heard about it, but it's true that she is not from Luoyang. I heard that she was also a local beauty who was later adopted as an adopted daughter by Wang Yun. I didn't expect that you would get an advantage in the end."
Gao Yue naturally has nothing to be jealous of. Most women in this era will turn a blind eye as long as their husbands don't seduce a woman who threatens their status.
"Haha, although she is beautiful, she is not even the slightest bit worse than yours, Madam." Gao Yue said with a smile at the corners of her eyes: "You can talk."
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yue continued: "However, any woman whose husband is close to you should marry her home as a concubine, so as not to have children leaked out and become a nameless one. Observe for a few days. If her character is okay, , I just paid it secretly in the house, it doesn’t cost much anyway.”
After all, she was Yuan Xi's woman. Gao Yue thought this very thoughtfully. Empress Changsun often made arrangements for Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to choose his concubine.
In general, competition for favor in the harem is normal. In order to win the favor of the king, one would like to strangle the other to death. This is actually what little women do.
However, the methods of Gao Yue and Queen Changsun were obviously much smarter. Not only did they gain the trust and favor of the king, they also won the support of the new concubines, and their status became more stable.
The second floor of Heshun Restaurant.
Yuan Xi thought about the things he had done in the past two days, and he didn't know if it would work. If it didn't work and he had to lead Qingzhou alone again, it would be the time for Yuan Shao to pacify the entire north in a few years. He couldn't afford to wait.
Seeing Guo Jia's calm and calm appearance, Yuan Xi seemed to feel relieved after being infected.
At this moment, there was a burst of noise from the seats in the diagonal corner of the second floor, and from time to time there was the sound of pottery pots falling to the ground and breaking. Yuan Xi frowned and thought to himself that he was disappointed.
Yuan Xi saw a few young men in dandy clothes over there making a noise and causing trouble from a distance. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but then the shop assistants and shopkeepers couldn't resist the young men.
But then he saw a young man in his twenties, gorgeously dressed, walking down the aisle on the third floor.
But what Yuan Xi paid attention to was not the young man in fine clothes, but the girl from the Zhen family who he met in the cloth store standing on the aisle on the third floor. Yuan Xi secretly thought that they were really destined. This must be the third time they met.
A young man in Chinese attire, surrounded by four men dressed as warriors, intervened, but the effect was obviously not good.
Yuan Xi's mind suddenly changed. He guessed that this wine shop was also owned by the Zhen family. He felt that it was a coincidence and cliche. At the same time, he also lamented the huge assets of the Zhen family. No wonder his father Yuan Shao later chose to marry into the Zhen family.
Cai Yan followed Yuan Xi's gaze and saw the girl from the Zhen family whom she met that day. She worriedly said, "Sir, go and help that sister."
Yuan Xi nodded, then stood up and took Xu Chu over. Guo Jia, who was also restless, followed him.
Zhen Mi, who was in the corridor on the third floor, looked angrily at the troubled young men, with an angry look on her pretty face and a slightly puffy chest, reprimanding them for their rudeness.
It turned out that several young men, who were also children of Jizhou's rich families, often made trouble in Yecheng when they had no fun. On this day, they came to Heshun Restaurant to make fun of the store owner, so they made some tricks on the dishes to make things difficult for the store owner.
Originally, they wanted to make trouble and leave, but a young boss came to mediate. Moreover, seeing how beautiful Zhen Mi was, they started to play tricks on her.
A few people got drunk and became wild for a while, and their words were full of insults. Finally, a few people started to take action. The rich boy was even more proud, and moved forward step by step, gradually forcing Zhen Mi into the corner.
Before knowing the details of these people, the young man in Chinese attire was afraid of offending the powerful man, so the four guards only used their bodies to protect the young man in Chinese attire and did not dare to fight back.
Seeing this, several dandy young men became even more impudent. Just when the situation was about to get out of control, a handsome and strong man stepped in from the side. The rich boy's wrist was caught by the other hand, and it was so tight that it seemed as if even the bones would be crushed. The pain made him break out in cold sweat, and he screamed out.
Without saying a word, the strong and strong man knocked down several dandies with a few punches. That strong man was Xu Chu. Yuan Xi also came to the front and kicked him four or five steps away.
Yuan Xi turned his back to Zhen Mi and said, "You are a dandy who bullies others. How dare you act wild here." At this time, Zhen Mi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her whole body was shaking. Yuan Xi felt distressed and angry at the same time. He rushed to the side of the rich boy who was kicked to the ground and beat him violently again.
Zhen Mi didn't expect that Yuan Xi would appear and save her again, so she felt grateful and walked quickly to Yuan Xi.
"Thank you, Second Young Master, for rescuing the siege." Zhen Mi smiled slightly and thanked Yuan Xi.
A step away, Yuan Xi smelled a faint scent of fat. When Zhen Mi saw Yuan Xi looking towards her, her face suddenly flushed with anger, starting from the roots of her ears and spreading to her neck. With her long pink neck, she couldn't help but shrink slightly into the collar.
Her black hair and temples, pointed nose, thin lips, and elegant and distant temperament can directly pierce the depths of any man's spirit.
Yuan Xi waved his hand, turned to several dandies and asked, "Which of your children dares to cause trouble in the Zhen family's wine shop?"
Several dandies obviously didn't know that the wine shop was the property of the Zhen family, but they were beaten up by Yuan Xi and became angry.
One of the tall and thin young men sneered: "I haven't asked you who you are, but you dare to hit a member of our Xin family. My uncle is the famous Xin Zhongzhi under Yuan Cheqi."
Yuan Xi frowned. The Xin family in Yecheng, Jizhou was Xin Ping's clan. Xin Ping and Xin Pi were indeed talented, but the Xin family was very close to Yuan Tan, and they were now his enemies.
"Yuan Xi, Yuan Xianyi, what can you do to me?" Yuan Xi ignored his threat and said calmly.
Several people were surprised when they heard this. Yuan Xi's reputation was now very great. They naturally knew that the second young master Yuan was daring and they could not offend him.
"Brother, why are they causing trouble?" Yuan Xi asked the young man in Chinese clothing.
The young man in Huafu felt good about Yuan Xi's rescue, so he bowed his hand to Yuan Xi and told the whole story.
Yuan Xi said coldly to the dandies: "You framed good people and violated the laws of the Han Dynasty. You should be sent to the government for punishment."
After that, he asked the two tiger guards to escort them to the government office. Although they did not expect to really convict them, they wanted to combat the arrogance of the Xin family. At the same time, they also left a good impression on the beauty Zhen Mi and indirectly made good friends with the Zhen family. For future use.
