Huang Yi is this young man’s name.
Now, in Yuan Shu's camp, he is in an inconspicuous position, neither high nor low. Of course, for a young man to climb to this position, he is already considered to be in a high position. Maybe in the world, Huang Yi is far less famous than Sun Quan, but in Shouchun, he is also a young talent with a small reputation. In addition, the entire Huang family stood behind Huang Yi, so as soon as Yuan Shu came to Shouchun, he focused his attention on the young man Huang Yi.
In addition to giving generous salaries to high-ranking officials, there is another common way to bind the heart of a young man and the future head of the Huang family, and that is marriage. Just like when Yuan Shu married his daughter to Sun Quan, Yuan Shu also had the same thoughts towards Huang Yi. Although Huang Yi cannot compare with Sun Quan, the Sun family was so powerful back then that Yuan Shu never dared to annex the Sun family. At that time, Yuan Shu wanted to join forces with the powerful and saw Sun Quan's own future development potential, so he gave Sun Quan Absolute attention; and this time, Yuan Shu and Huang Yi are in a superior-subordinate relationship, and he came with the idea of devouring or even occupying the Huang family. Therefore, Yuan Shu also attaches great importance to Huang Yi.
Because of Yuan Shu's attitude, although Huang Yi's official position was not high, he was very close to the Yuan family in private. Many Yuan family members believe that Huang Yi is the family's future uncle, and have already regarded him as one of their own in advance.
In this context, the only thing Yuan Shu had to consider was which daughter to marry to Huang Yi.
Despite being a big family with many children, there are not necessarily many girls of the right age to be married. In this era, if you are a son, you can marry as many as you like, and marry as many times as you like, no matter how old you are; but if you are a daughter, you can only marry once. The younger ones cannot be married, and the older ones have already been married. Got people. Although Yuan Shu does not mean that there are no other daughters who can be married off, Yuan Yuan has always been a sore point in Yuan Shu's heart.
You know, Yuan Yuan, that is Yuan Shu’s favorite, most valued, most beautiful, and also the best daughter! If she were born as a boy, talented and beautiful, Yuan Shu would make her his heir without hesitation, regardless of whether she was his eldest daughter or not.
As a result, Yuan Yuan was betrothed to Sun Quan!
Originally, a golden boy matched a beautiful girl. Even if the Sun family is now in decline, Yuan Yuan marrying Sun Quan does not mean she has been wronged. But unfortunately, Sun Quan happened to be kidnapped by Cihang Jingzhai. To be honest, from the day he received the news, Yuan Shu did not think that Sun Quan would come back. Yuan Shu felt that even the probability of Sun Jian reappearing was higher than the probability of Sun Quan coming back.
To take a step back, even if Sun Quan does come back one day, how many years have passed, will he keep his daughter as a widow for Sun Quan? In this era, if something like this happens, even if she is married, as long as the woman is strong enough, she can still return to her parents' home, just like Cai Wenji, not to mention that Yuan Shu's daughter is not married yet!
If it was just a daughter who was not favored, then forget it, but this was Yuan Yuan, the daughter that Yuan Shu cared about the most, how could he turn a blind eye to her? !
Outsiders don't know, but Yuan Shu had secretly discussed this topic with Sun Ce a long time ago. Of course, Yuan Shu is not saying that he wants to break off the engagement, but he can't just ignore the matter like this. Beauty grows old easily! Therefore, Yuan Shu's proposal at that time was: Either marry Yuan Yuan to Sun Ce; or marry Yuan Yuan to Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Yi. In the final analysis, this is a marriage between the Yuan family and the Sun family. This result should be acceptable to both families.
However, Yuan Shu did not expect that Sun Ce was stubborn. He insisted that his second brother would come back and firmly refused to marry Yuan Yuan, nor did he agree to let his younger brother Sun Yi inherit the marriage. Helpless, Yuan Shu could only end the topic angrily.
Of course, although the topic has ended, it does not mean that Yuan Shu has given up the idea of marrying a daughter.
At first, Yuan Shu still had a bit of luck and wanted to wait and see if Sun Quan would really come back. But as time went by, there was no news about Sun Quan, and Yuan Yuan got older. You must know that in this era, it is too late for a woman to get married at the age of eighteen, and she can no longer wait any longer. Not to mention Yuan Yuan's mother, who was always whispering in Yuan Shu's ears from time to time. Even if Yuan Shu occasionally saw his daughter, Yuan Shu couldn't bear to look at her resentful and lonely look.
Yuan Shu knew very well that his daughter was very kind. She would not resent her father, let alone Sun Quan, and she would never even think about the possibility of breaking the engagement. Yuan Yuan just couldn't see the future and thought she would die alone, so she felt sorry for herself all day long and lamented that fate was playing tricks on people. You might fall ill one day and never get up again.
Yuan Shu, among other things, really cared about Yuan Yuan, his daughter. Yuan Shu didn't have to let Yuan Yuan get married, nor did he have to use his daughter to form a marriage. He just simply wanted to give Yuan Yuan a hope and a future so that she could get out of her dark state.
By chance, at this moment, Huang Yi came into Yuan Shu's sight. This man is not very old, and in terms of life experience, appearance, and talent, he is not much worse than Sun Quan. To be honest, Yuan Yuan has some "stains" on her body after all, and it is basically impossible for her to marry into one of those big families that pays great attention to face. Even if she manages to marry, she may be wronged. A local noble family like the Huang family, working under Yuan Shu, is definitely the best match for Yuan Yuan. After marrying her, will anyone in the Huang family dare to bully her? !
So Yuan Shu told his wife what he thought. After she came down, she also hinted to her daughter Yuan Yuan. Soon, the matter spread within the Yuan family. On the other side, Yuan Shu also promised Huang Yi privately that he would marry Yuan Yuan to him.
Of course, what Yuan Shu did in this matter was not so glorious after all. Yuan Shu was not stupid enough to make it known to everyone, especially since it was in Sun Ce's face. Outsiders only knew that Yuan Shu was going to marry a daughter. Except for a few people involved, it was not clear which daughter Yuan Shu was going to marry to Huang Yi.
One day, when he couldn't hide it any more, Sun Ce came to the door. Of course he, Yuan Shu, was in the wrong, but he had extenuating circumstances, right? At that time, as long as the Sun family makes up for it in other aspects, this matter will be exposed, and Sun Ce will not be serious about it.
that's all,
Everything is almost a given. Yuan Shu did not expect, nor did everyone expect that Sun Quan would actually come back!
The Yuan family is a big family, but they are very honorable. Not to mention that Sun Ce is working under him, even if he is not, Yuan Shu will not be able to break this well-known engagement in front of everyone in the world. Fortunately, Yuan Shu was fortunate that he had never exposed Huang Yi's matter, and now he could completely make up for it.
Therefore, Yuan Shu quickly approached Huang Yi and promised to marry his other daughter to him. At the same time, he also told his family not to tell anyone about his intention to let Yuan Yuan marry someone else. After doing this, Yuan Shu completely forgot about the matter. After all, when he thought about it, he also married his daughter to Huang Yi, so Huang Yi didn't suffer, right? Even if there might be a trace of complaint in his heart, Huang Yi was working under his command, how dare he complain?
