At this time, Yuan Yao did not realize that he had missed something that he almost regretted for the rest of his life.
Early the next morning, Yuan Yao hummed the poem "Mulan Ci" and began the preparations to buy horses in the East Market, saddles and saddles in the West Market, bridles in the South Market, and long whips in the North Market.
First, he went to the horse market to buy horses, but found that it was difficult for merchants to do business under Yuan Shu's rule. The horse market was extremely depressed, and there were only a few old and lame horses.
It seems that we can only get some horses from the army.
The same goes for armor, swords and arrows, as well as food and grass, so Yuan Yao went to the medicine market and spent a lot of money to clear out all the medicinal materials on the market. Many vehicles were bought to carry medicinal materials.
Remembering that he still had a lot of silk and satin gifted by Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao ordered people to move most of them and replace them with a large number of worthless coarse cloth.
Whenever he saw something useful on the street, Yuan Yao bought a lot and sent them all to his own courtyard outside the city.
By noon, Yuan Yao also ended his behavior of throwing money away and returned to his own courtyard in Yuan Mansion which was already empty.
There were two men and one woman waiting for Yuan Yao in the small courtyard.
When the two men saw Yuan Yao coming back, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I have met Mr. Yuan."
"The last general, Qin Yi, has met Mr. Yuan."
The pregnant woman also bowed slightly and said, "My humble concubine, Mrs. Qi Qin, I have heard about Mr. Yuan for a long time, and I am truly lucky to meet you today!"
Send it to Qi? Qin Yi?
Yuan Yao couldn't remember who these two people were for a moment, and whether there were any records in history.
But with my thorough knowledge of the history of the Three Kingdoms, if I couldn't remember him at first glance, he probably wasn't an important role.
But when he heard the words "Qi Qinshi", Yuan Yao suddenly thought of Master Xing and his favorite movie "The Nine-Rank Sesame Official".
Yuan Yao asked in surprise: "Are you Qin Qin?"
Qi Qin didn't know why, but she still leaned forward and said, "I am the wife of General Qi and the sister of General Qin, so she is naturally Qi Qin."
"Young Master, you can also call me Qin!"
The more Yuan Yao looked at Qi Qin in front of him, the more he felt like Zhang Min, so he couldn't help blurting out: "As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chang Wei calling a fortune!"
Qi Qin's face was full of weirdness: "How did Mr. Yuan know that there is a housekeeper in my house named Chang Wei?"
"How did you know that he often beats one of Laifu's servants?"
Yuan Yao's interest was immediately piqued: "General Qi and Mrs. Qi must take me to your mansion when they have time to see if Chang Wei knows martial arts!"
Qi Ji, Qin Yi and Qi Qin's faces were full of questions: "..."
Qi Qin was the quickest to react. Seeing that Yuan Yao had a very good attitude towards them, she hurriedly approached and said, "I, my husband, and my brother came to visit us today because of..."
While the eloquent Qi Qin came forward to talk to matchmakers, Qi Ji and Qin Yi began to whisper at the side.
Qin Yi: "Brother Qi, Mr. Yuan is really as out of line as the rumors say!"
Qi Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"This marriage was decided by General Qiao. You and I just have to carry it out!"
Qin Yi looked a little disbelieving: "But by marrying Mr. Yuan, can our Qiyang camp really be freed from the shortage of food?"
"Young Master Yuan is my lord's only legitimate son, and the only favored one among my lord's sons."
Qi Ji lowered his voice again as he spoke: "Sooner or later, the position of lord will be passed on to this prince."
"Even if he is no longer in tune, as long as this marriage is completed, the lord and General Qiao will be a family."
"My lord, I will never mistreat my children and my family again. Our Qiyang camp will be able to do better in the future!"
Although Qin Yi was a little reluctant when he heard this, he had to admit that what Qi Ji said was reasonable.
The two of them were discussing in a low voice, and at this time Qi Qin also walked out of the main hall.
The two of them came forward, and Qi Ji quickly grabbed Qi Qin's hand and asked, "Madam, is it done?"
Qi Qin didn't know how to speak, so she just shook her head.
"Young Master Yuan doesn't agree? If it's because of the gap in family status, then you can marry her as your concubine first and then take care of her later!"
Qi Qin: "Master Yuan did not refuse or agree, so I don't know how to tell you."
Qin Yi said anxiously: "My good sister, what did Mr. Yuan say?"
"You've been in there for so long, what have you been saying to Mr. Yuan!"
Mrs. Qi Qin looked confused and spread her hands: "Master Yuan and I went in. He first asked me if I knew someone who made a dragon star bag, and then said that I looked like a woman named Zhang Min!"
"Then I told him about General Qiao's eldest daughter. No matter how much I praised Qiao's daughter, he was indifferent. He just kept asking me if I had seen any ninth-grade Sesame Officers, and if they were wearing the clothes of a transcender!"
"Even though I have been a matchmaker for more than ten years, and no matter how eloquent I am, I still haven't gotten into a conversation with Mr. Yuan!"
"Alas!" Qi Ji also spread his hands: "If this doesn't work out, what should we do?"
"If Mr. Yuan doesn't agree first, then we will directly go to the master to propose marriage. I'm afraid there will be no hope at all!"
Qi Ji and Qin Yi were both martial artists with simple minds. They thought Yuan Yao was just trying to trick them by talking nonsense to them, and they didn't look down on Qiao Rui's daughter at all.
But Qi Qin's mind was clever and he immediately thought of something.
"Didn't Mr. Yuan just say that he wanted to come to our house to see Chang Wei's blessing?"
"If that doesn't work, let's put on this play for Mr. Yuan and invite him to visit us!"
Qi Ji looked at Qi Qin: "Madam, how can this disparity in family status be solved by just inviting guests to dinner!"
Qi Qin was furious when she saw that her husband and brother couldn't figure it out.
"Of course, treating guests to a drink cannot change one's family status, but what if the eldest daughter of the Qiao family pours wine for Young Master Yuan in front of Mr. Yuan at the banquet?"
Qi Ji and Qin Yi immediately understood and were overjoyed.
Qi Ji praised: "Madam, wonderful! This plan is very clever!"
"No wonder General Qiao asked Brother Qin and I to only serve as escorts, but he named you, Madam, to take charge!"
Mrs. Qi Qin came to the hall again, left the gifts she brought, and invited Yuan Yao to come over and have a chat.
Yuan Yao was not that free-hearted at first, but when he saw that the gifts given by Qin Qin were extremely valuable, he immediately agreed and accepted them all based on the principle of not wasting.
The three Qi and Qin families were satisfied and left, while Yuan Yao found Huang Yi and planned to attend the banquet together.
By the way, I want to ask who Qi Ji and Qin Yi are and what their official positions are; and more importantly, how far has the sale of treasures gone?
Qi Ji was born in the Fuli Qi family of Pei State, and married Qin Yi's sister from Xiang County in the same county.
After Yuan Shu occupied Huainan, Qiao Rui led his army to station in Qiyang, the state of Pei, as the northern barrier of Yuan Shu's power. Qi Ji and Qin Yi surrendered to him nearby and were accepted as generals by Qiao Rui.
Hearing that these two people were from the Pei Kingdom, Yuan Yao's unconnected memory line was finally connected.
He knows who these two people are!
It would take a few days to sell off the treasures and make other preparations to go south to Yuzhang. The next day, Yuan Yao and Huang Yi went to Qi Ji's Mansion for a banquet.
However, the faces of Qi Ji, Qin Yi and Qi Qin who came to greet them all looked a little unnatural. Yuan Yao couldn't help but wonder:
"Why do you all look so disappointed?"
"Is it possible that I came at the wrong time?"
Mrs. Qi Qin rushed to welcome him with a smile on her face: "How could it be! Yuan Langguan is here, and the small house is full of glory, how can we not welcome him!"
"It's just that my husband and brother are rough people. They went to visit Yuan Langguan that day, but they didn't know that Yuan Gongzi had promoted Xiaolian and made him a doctor."
"So they are all a little scared, for fear of offending you Yuan Xiaolian again!"
Yuan Yao laughed and didn't take it seriously. He and Huang Yi entered the Qi Mansion with a group of attendants.
There were no surprises in the meal. Yuan Yao also met Chang Wei and Laifu, but what disappointed him was that these two people were nothing like Zou Zhaolong and Cheng Dong.
Mrs. Qin Qin also noticed that Yuan Yao was a little uninterested, and hurriedly complained: "Today, I originally wanted to invite Mr. Yuan to see Miss Qiao's appearance as a fish and a wild goose, but I didn't expect that the illness would come like a mountain."
"Miss Qiao had a long journey back from Qiyang and contracted the cold. It was very serious. She could only stay in bed for several days and could not see the young master!"
Yuan Yao's ears were almost ringing when he heard Qi Qin's praise of the Qiao family's daughter, but he was still more concerned about a young girl suffering from cold syndrome.
The ancient wind-cold is also the modern cold. However, for the ancient people who did not have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs, especially before the medical treatise "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" was published, the wind-cold was close to an incurable disease, with a high fatality rate. high.
But it is better to rush well than to catch it wisely. The author of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" which mainly treats typhoid fever, Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage of the generation, is the disciple of Mr. Yuan in front of him.
"It just so happens that I have a person who specializes in diagnosing and treating colds. Why don't you invite him to come and take a look at Miss Qiao? I'll be sure that everything is fine!"
Seeing Yuan Yao's concern, Qi Qin smiled happily: "In this case, I will thank you in advance on behalf of Miss Qiao!"
Qi Ji, Qin Yi and Qi Qin looked at each other with joy on their faces.
This marriage is settled!
I was originally worried about how to invite Mr. Yuan to come again after the eldest daughter of the Qiao family recovered.
Good thing now, the ready-made reason is here.
No matter whether Miss Qiao is cured by Yuan Yao's disciples or not, as long as Miss Qiao gets better, she can take advantage of the opportunity to come to thank her and allow the two of them to meet!
Naturally, Yuan Yao didn't know the little plans of the Qi Qin family, but he also had his own plans to show his favor to the Qi Qin family.
"I heard that the two generals Qi Ji and Qin Yi are from Pei State. Do you know Liu Fu and Liu Yuanying of Pei State?"
Yuan Yao asked cautiously, fearing that they would find out that he went to the banquet today specifically for this capable minister who was ranked alongside Liang Xi, Zhang Ji, Wen Hui and Jia Kui.
