[Second update. Continue to ask for monthly tickets, enough for 150 votes, two more tomorrow]

This person is Chen Bao.

Xun Zhen led Xun You and the others downstairs quickly to greet him.

Since the end of the battle at Julu, Chen Bao, Xun Cheng and other escorts were captured and returned to Yingyin, and they have not seen each other for half a year. Xun Zhen missed Chen Bao and the others very much, and Chen Bao and the others also missed Xun Zhen very much. They met downstairs, but Chen Bao bowed down and saluted regardless of the snow on the ground.

Xun Zhen picked it up and said with a big laugh, "A Bao, you're back!"

I haven't seen him for half a year, but Chen Bao hasn't changed much, but the skin on his hands, feet, and face is a little cracked because of the freezing weather and the wind and the cold. Chen Bao said: "I could have come back earlier, but I was on the way from home to Zhao County. Every time I passed through various counties, there were many thieves. In Jizhou alone, I encountered more than ten groups of thieves one after another. I had to fight the thieves to clear the way. journey."

"I met more than ten thieves in Jizhou alone? Where's Zhongren? Are you all okay?" Xun Zhen looked up and down Chen Bao carefully as she spoke, and was relieved to see that Chen Bao was not injured. . ?.

This time, Chen Bao and Xun Cheng returned to their hometown. First, they sent Xun Zhen’s old clan who had been captured and who were willing to be sent to Xun Zhen’s door as guests and attached to Xun Zhen’s house. Second, they brought Chen Zhi, Tang Er and others. Xun Zhen did not ask how Chen Zhi and Tang Er were, but first asked how Chen Bao and Xun Cheng were. Chen Bao was very moved and replied, "Don't worry, Xun-Jun, Zhong Ren is very good, and so is his wife."

Madam is an honorific title for women. In the pre-Qin period, only the concubines of the princes could be called Madam. In today's world, it is almost the same as in later generations.

"Where are Zhongren and the others?"

"There are a lot of people here this time. Madam Ling Bao entered the mansion to report first, and they were waiting outside the mansion."

"It's so far away, it's so easy to get here in the wind and snow, why are you still waiting outside the mansion? Azhi is the prefect! Let's go, let's go out of the mansion to meet you." He misses Chen Bao and Xun Cheng, and misses Chen Zhi and Tang Er even more. The near and far worries that have been entangled in his heart have disappeared at this moment. He dragged Chen Bao and took Xi Zhicai, Xun You and others to the outside of the mansion. After walking, he took two steps before he could react. He turned his head and asked Chen Bao, "You said 'there are a lot of people here this time'?"

However, Chen Bao sold off and smiled, "You will find out later."

Xun Zhen knew that she was young, so after taking office as Lieutenant of Zhao Guo, she usually paid close attention to her speech and manners. She paid attention to the word "steady" when speaking and walking, so as not to give the impression of being reckless. It was the first time that he was busy. The officials and servants in the mansion saw it, and they whispered and whispered. Some people just came in from outside the mansion and knew that there was a group of people who had traveled long distances from outside the mansion. , said that this should be the lieutenant's relatives from Yingyin.

When the relatives of the chief officials came, the lower officials could not help but accompany them to welcome them. Although Xun Zhen did not have a summoning order, the government officials and servants who heard the news arrived one after another, leaving behind Xun Zhen and the others, all of them went outside the palace. When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, dozens of government officials and servants followed.

Xun Zhen walked out of the mansion gate, and under the fluttering snow, several carriages stopped on the side of the road, surrounded by a dozen or two dismounted knights, and behind the carriages was a team of about three hundred soldiers with spears. In front of the Jiashi team, a black flag fluttered in the snow with the word "Xun" written on it.

Xun Zhen was stunned.

Chen Bao said that there were a lot of people, but he didn't expect there were hundreds of people!

"Where did these hundreds of soldiers come from? Could it be that the clan of the Fei clan helped me pacify the thieves, so they sent the old clan I left at home?"

This thought had just arisen, and before Xun Zhen could take a closer look, let alone think about it, Xun Zhen saw that the ten or twenty knights gathered around the carriage had left their mounts one after another, and they all walked towards him with joyful smiles.

The person at the head with bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, a commoner with a sword, is Xun Cheng.

"Zhongren! Return home in hot summer, and return in late winter. If you don't come again, I doubt whether you are too comfortable at home and don't want to come!" Xun Zhen laughed and joked with Xun Cheng, looking at him Looking behind him, he saw that the people behind him were all acquaintances, but he did not expect these acquaintances. He said in surprise, "Zhongye, Zixiu, Youjie? Yuanxi? Ziyun? Lao Du, Lao Fan ,..., Xiaoxu, Chunyu, are you here too?"

These people are Wen Pin, Gao Su, Xu Zhong's co-brother Xu Ji, Xuan Kang and Li Bo's classmates Xuan Xian and Wang Cheng, Xun Zhen's former official Du Mai and the Fan family brothers when he was in Fanyang Pavilion, and Xu Fu et al.

Wen Pin, Gao Su and others, like Chen Bao, saw Xun Zhen and immediately fell to the ground regardless of Luo Xue. Xun Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help them up one by one, and they had not seen each other for a long time, and they were very affectionate when they saw each other.

Xu Ji, Xuan Xian and others came, and Xun Zhen could understand that they had no official status. Hearing that Xun Zhen was a lieutenant in Zhao County, it was not surprising that they came to defect, but the problem was that Wenpin and Gao Su had official status. Chuan County was an official, but why did he come?

Xun Zhen suppressed her doubts, did not ask questions, and happily shared her feelings with everyone. When it was her turn to talk to Xu Fu, Xun Zhen laughed and said, "I haven't seen each other for a year. Jie'er is very tall, and her beard is just beginning to sprout. She's about to become a great husband."

Xun Zhen and Xu Fu first met many years ago. At that time, Xu Fu was more than ten years old. He was carrying a long sword about his size. Xiao Xia, his personal guard, caught him and taught him a lesson. Although Xu Fu was young and full of courage, he drew his sword in front of Xun Zhen and Xiao Xia, but because of his short arms, he could not draw it fully, so Xiao Xia laughed and called him "啕 Er".叕, dialect, means short.叕'er, that is "shorter", is to say that Xu Fu is short.

This has been many years ago. Xu Fu is seventeen years old this year. He is already tall and has a beard. Although he has not yet been crowned, he can stand in the crowd with his head held high, but he is also a handsome man.

After listening to Xun Zhen's laughing words, Xu Fu was already bold, but now he is older, and he is not timid, and said loudly: "In the past, when you asked Fu what was a good man, when Fu was young, you didn't know how to answer it. Fu went to study in Jun's family school, and solved it from the scriptures, and since reading the scriptures, Fu knows what a man is!"

"Oh?" Xun Zhen said with interest, "Then tell me, what is a man?"

"Immortal says that three times are meritorious. An average man fencing kills and splattering blood for five steps, while a husband fencing the world, makes merit in future generations."

Virtue, merit, and words are the three immortality in life. Decades of life are fleeting and fleeting, but these three are eternal, hence the name Three Immortality. Taishang establishes morality, then meritorious deeds, and then makes speeches. Xu Fu did not claim to be Lide, but he could claim that his husband should make meritorious deeds for future generations, but it was also a very grand ambition.

Whether in the past or the present, Xun Zhen didn't have such a big ambition when she was seventeen. At the age of seventeen, Xu Fu said such a bold statement, even though Xun Zhen knew that he was a great man in the future, he couldn't help but admire him, clapping his hands and saying, "Good! Good! Immortal said three times for merit, so right. Well, well said. So you gave up your studies, but you came to me to make meritorious deeds?"

Chen Bao smiled on the side and said, "Zhongren and I didn't want to bring him here, but..."

"Just how?"

"It's a long story..."

When Chen Bao explained it in detail, Xun Zhen realized that Xu Fu came this time because he was motivated by something, but it happened in August of this year, a month before Chen Bao and Xun Cheng returned to Yingyin, and Yang Yang was in awe. There was a wealthy household in Zhai County who was insulted by others. He wanted to take revenge, but he had no courage. He paid for someone to take revenge on his behalf. Several of Xu Fu's partners in his early years took over the business. They knew that Xu Fu was brave, so they went to Yingyin. Xun's family found him and wanted to work with him, but Xu Fu refused.

Hearing this, Xun Zhen couldn't help but said: "I remember that according to the original history, this Xu Fu was arrested for murder, smeared in the streets, and after this humiliation, he suddenly woke up, changed his name to Ziejie, and changed his previous Qingxia temperament. , read the book together, and it will be a great thing in the end. Could it be because of this that he was 'killed and arrested'?"

If Xun Zhen had not ordered Xu Fu to study at Xun's family school, Xu Fu's historical trajectory would have reached a turning point at this time. But for now, although he didn't kill people, he realized what a man is, which was also a turning point for him.

Chen Bao went on to say: After Xu Fu rejected the invitation of his old cronies, his cronies scolded him, thinking that he had become cowardly and incompetent, Xu Fu replied: "I don't want to cherish my life for myself, I do it for myself. The world cherishes outstanding people. Lord Xun will shake the yellow turban, and soon he will be greatly used by the imperial court. When my generation has made meritorious deeds, my husband should pick up the sword and strike the world, how can I strike one person? If I fall under the punishment of the king, the world will lose one outstanding person."

He said this very loudly, and considered himself to be a great man. His cronies listened and laughed heartily at him. He held back his anger, and in turn persuaded his old cronies to stop doing those things that made him arrogant. However, these old cronies of his refused to listen, cut off relations with him, and all dispersed.

He then privately decided to go to Xun Zhen, just in time for Chen Bao and Xun Cheng to return home.

He was entangled day and night, and Chen Bao and Xun Cheng could not do anything about it, and finally Xu Fu's teacher Xun Qu also came forward to speak for him. Chen Bao and Xun Cheng had no choice but to agree to him and bring him to Handan with him.

After listening to Xun Zhen, she smiled and said to Xu Fu: "Since you know what a man is, and you have made a determination to make contributions to future generations, and my brother Zhong agrees with you to come, then I will not drive you away." Xun Zhen This is half a joke, half truth. After seeing Xu Fu, he really planned to let him stay for a few days and send him back. After all, Xu Fu was still young, not even twenty years old.

Xu Fu was overjoyed, bowed down again, and said, "Thank you Xun Jun!"

Xun Zhen laughed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ beckoned Xu Ji, who was standing at the back of the crowd, to come forward, holding his hand and smiling: "Young Jie, why are you here too? Is your mother okay?"

Xu Ji's body was originally very thin. After receiving Xun Zhen's care, he had three meals a day and meat every day. The nutrition kept up, and his body became stronger, but his unsociable nature had not changed.

He replied respectfully: "My mother's health is very good, this time it was my mother Lingshen who came here. My mother said to me: You are very kind to my family. I used to be young and I didn't finish my studies, so I couldn't repay it. Now I have finished my studies. If you are successful, you will grow old, and you should repay your kindness when you come.”

Xu Ji's real name was Xu Shen, so he called himself "Shen".

"You're here, who will take care of your mother?"

"Mrs. Cheng moved to my house, and she took care of her." Mrs. Cheng was talking about Cheng Yan's widow.

"Have you seen your brother?"

"After entering the county, I came to the lieutenant's mansion from Xun and Chen Erjun, and I haven't seen it yet."

Xu Ji had studied scriptures from Xun Lai and was considered a student of the Xun family. He was also Xu Zhong's co-brother. Xun Zhen liked him very much and said happily: "You should see your brother, your brother is not what it used to be. Compare! I have relied on your brother's help for more than a few months, and I was lucky enough to make some military exploits and was promoted to lieutenant in the county by the court. Now you are here again, haha, I am really happy!"

After talking with everyone for a long time, Xun Zhen walked over to the carriage where Chen Zhi was sitting, and lifted the curtain with her own hands.

Xueluo hurried, and a beautiful woman in the car raised her head with long-lost anticipation in her shyness.

Xun Zhen and her eyes met, no need to say more, the love was in it.

The government officials and servants who followed Xun Zhen came down to worship in the snow, and shouted in unison, "Welcome Madam." (To be continued)
