Three Kingdoms

Having an heir is naturally a great joy. Originally, Xun Chen and others were still holding back and only celebrated in a small area. But now that Fei Qian has come to Pingyang in person, it is reasonable to hold a grand celebration. .

In this era, due to the constraints of medical conditions, too many women have encountered accidents during childbirth, so it is already a very exciting thing to have a child, not to mention that people like Fei Qian are so small. Yes, that is simply the joy of the whole clan.

Although there are not many people in the Fei family now.

Fei Min's two posthumous sons also rushed to Pingyang Yamen and stood at the door of the Yamen, acting as greeters to welcome the guests. This is naturally a major event for the Fei family, and Fei and Fei Yu naturally need to participate in the whole process. The two of them were taking a nap in the concierge. Although there was tea on the table, they did not dare to drink more, because they both knew that when the house was full of guests, they might not even have time to change clothes.

The weather today is sunny, and although the sun can be seen looming, it is still very cold in this cold winter. Several servants held long poles and were knocking off all the ice that had condensed under the eaves of the courtyard of the government office. The ice crackled and fell, and soon the servants swept it into the dustpan and carried it away.

The servants and servants who came and went all changed into new clothes, and everyone was smiling. Even the housekeeper, who was usually the fiercest, had crooked eyebrows and a smile on her face.

Xun Chen came very early. As the chief steward of Pingyang, the fact that Fei Qian had an heir made Xun Chen even happier than having his own child, because it also meant that Fei Qian, the political group, had a child. Official heir. Although it is still early to talk about inheritance, there is a lot of difference in the minds of the people of the Han Dynasty whether there is or not.

Zao Zhi also came back with Fei Qian, and Zao Zhi also brought a big cart, a four-wheeled cart. This four-wheel deconstruction adopts the load-bearing body of Huang's workshop. The two front wheels can provide steering, which greatly increases the transportation capacity. However, it also requires a flatter and harder road surface. On rough roads, It is not as convenient as a two-wheeled vehicle.

"Is it open?" Zao Zhi saw Xun Chen and pointed to the four-wheel drive he brought parked at the gate of Zhengxi Mansion Yamen.

Xun Chen stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "Open it..."

The side panels of the cart were removed, revealing baskets of...

Vegetables and melons.

Jade-like vegetable leaves, white jade-like vegetable stems, and green courgettes were filled with bamboo baskets and placed neatly in the cart.

Even though it was not the first time that Xun Chen saw the scene in front of him, when he saw it again, he still couldn't help but take a breath and close his eyes before regaining his composure.

Not only Xun Chen, but also the servant who was cleaning at the side was stunned and almost missed the step and fell to the bottom of the stone steps...

Such a cart full of vegetables and fruits may not be a big deal to Fei Qian, but for the people of the Han Dynasty, for these people who have grown up in a world where pickles have always been a pickle in winter. The shock level brought by these vegetables and fruits is not much less than that of a cart of gold, silver and jewelry.

The movement at the door alarmed Fei He and Fei Yu. When they came out and took a look, they couldn't help but froze...

"This, this...is this a real melon..." Fei Yu was younger and could not resist the temptation. He stood by the car and stared at the green-like emerald melon, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Since the beginning of winter, there has been no green color at all, either noodles or pickled meats and vegetables. Suddenly seeing the fresh goods, even Xun Chen, who is usually calm, is shaken, not to mention Fei and Fei Yu, two half-year-olds. Boy.

"Haha..." Xun Chen smiled, pointed at the courgette, and said, "Two worthy nephews, would you like to have a taste?"

"Can, is it okay?" After hearing the word "taste", Fei He couldn't help but start to salivate a lot.

Xun Chen nodded and said: "This is for today's banquet. It doesn't hurt to cut one first..." Xun Chen stepped forward and took a courgette at will, and then carefully divided the courgette into pieces in full view of everyone. A few points.

As the courgette is cut, a sweet fragrance quietly spreads...

Fei He took a deep breath, and then looked at Fei Yu with a look of surprise on his face. This is really courgette, and it’s fresh courgette! His saliva was secreting uncontrollably, and even Xun Chen's words of thanks when he handed over the courgette were a bit muffled...

After all, I haven’t tasted this courgette for more than half a year. Now, right in front of my eyes, I can actually see a melon cut out, smell the sweet smell, and touch the fresh and moist substance. This feeling is really hard to use. words to express...

"Try it." Zao Zhi laughed at the side, and then threw a small piece of courgette into his mouth without any courtesy. He had naturally eaten this melon before, but now that he saw it, he still wanted to eat it.

"Click, click..."

The sweet and refreshing taste bloomed in their mouths. Fei and Fei Yu closed their eyes and experienced this sweet taste wholeheartedly. They were almost moved to tears.

But, in this season, how come there are these vegetables and fruits?

Fei and Fei Yu just wanted to satisfy their appetites, but when the guests who came later saw the scene, they couldn't help exchanging surprised looks while swallowing their saliva.

Many of the guests who came to congratulate Fei Qian were also landowners and gentry, and their families had many acres of farmland, so they knew very well what happened during this farming season.

"This...this is auspicious..."

I don't know who shouted in a low voice among the crowd.

"It's really... really auspicious..."

Soon there were more mutterings.

Although due to the relationship between Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, auspiciousness has become a traditional repertoire in the Han Dynasty. In various places, some auspiciousness will be announced every now and then. For example, a unicorn is found somewhere, or a phoenix bird falls on a tree. , wherever there is purple energy rising, etc., there are all kinds of weird things.

Not to mention anything else, during the Han Ling Emperor's period, because the Han Ling Emperor's government was actually not stable, the Han Ling Emperor was even more enthusiastic about this matter. During this period, there were countless strange auspicious things reported from various places. There are too many to mention…

But that kind of so-called auspiciousness is actually known to most gentry and gentry. They are not people who have never seen the world at all. Although they may not be able to say anything, it does not mean that they do not know that these are all fraudulent things. Someone wants to borrow them. It's just a chance invitation, just listen, don't take it seriously.

But everything they see in front of them is subverting their ideas...

More and more guests gathered at the gate of Zhengxi Pingyang Mansion, admiring the cart. If there weren't guards on duty in front of the cart, maybe some of them would have taken action directly. Both De Fei and Yu Fei Yu were a little embarrassed. They didn't know if it was time to roll their names to the guests who came to congratulate them.

"Isn't it a witchcraft?"

"Impossible, I cut one just now, it's true..."

"I heard from Xun Zhizhong that this car will be used for today's dinner!"

"Wow... If you say that, isn't it a blessing?"

"Have you heard? Zheng Xilin'er was named Zhen... Doesn't the word Zhen coincide with this matter..."

"The peach is a peach, its leaves are Zhenzhen...this...this is really auspicious..."

"If that's the case, this son, this son... tsk tsk, I'm afraid it's priceless..."

Even the cold winter wind could not suppress the wave of discussion among the people, and it quickly spread around Pingyang...

…………………………

Another trend is quietly spreading in Jizhou.

After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and strangled Gongsun's clan, he annexed Gongsun Zan's remaining soldiers and divided them between his eldest son Yuan Tan and his second son Yuan Xi.

At the same time, Yuan Shao appointed Yuan Tan as the governor of Qingzhou and his second son Yuan Xi as the governor of Youzhou, and each established a government and led the army.

Ju Shou objected, believing that dividing the princes was a way to bring disaster. However, Yuan Shao insisted that each of the three princes occupy a state to observe their abilities. He persisted in his opinion and directly took advantage of the victory to complete the enfeoffment without giving it to Jizhou. People leave no chance.

This incident caused an uproar in Jizhou.

The powerful nobles of Jizhou followed Yuan Shao to fight life and death, providing money, food and manpower. What was their purpose? Is it difficult to say that he has been fighting for his whole life for the so-called Han cause? As the saying goes, those who talk about being the successor to the Han Dynasty's career are all hooligans, not to mention that Yuan Shao did this without even a single verbal expression...

Isn’t it too ugly to eat?

This numbness is different from what was originally promised! It's obviously the wrong version!

If the Han Dynasty has a three-guarantee policy and there is a consumer association, maybe the wealthy nobles in Jizhou will also be ready to take a seat on the hood...

Yuan Shao was quite convinced, saying that the three guarantees meant that if it was broken, it would not be repaired, if it was replaced, it would not be guaranteed to be the original factory, and if it was returned, it would not be refunded. If you have any objections, just go to the relevant departments. With military power in hand, the tall and round Yan Liangwen Chou stood up. , glance around, who is in favor and who is against?

As a result, many Jizhou noble disciples, including Jushou, lowered their heads and said that you are the boss and you have the final say.

However, when he lowered his head, the fire that had been suppressed in his stomach was blown by the cold wind again, like sparks falling on the charcoal, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Why does the Yuan family eat meat in large quantities, while the people of Jizhou can't even take a few sips of soup?

The money came from the people of Jizhou, the grain was raised by the people of Jizhou, and the soldiers were saved by the people of Jizhou. Well, now that we have defeated Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao's two stupid sons pounced on him and divided the meat one by one. Is there such a thing?

"... Yan is hanging down in the south, and Zhao is in mourning in the north. The yellow chrysanthemums are falling, and the village is desolate. Under the Zhang platform, the warehouse is full of bones. There is a magpie, who lost his nest and died... When I first heard this, I didn't take it seriously... I never thought, what would happen? It's as he said..." Jushou sat on the table, raised the wine cup, drank it in a few sips, put it heavily on the table, and let out a long sigh, "Alas! The land of Yanzhao, north and south Weeping in mourning!"

Tian Feng remained silent, just raised his wine cup and drank a drink with Ju Shou.

"Brother Yuan Hao! If you had known today, would you have regretted it before?!" Jushou was a little drunk and shouted, patting the table. Jushou first followed Han Fu and served as Han Fu's chariot. When Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, he dissuaded Han Fu from knowing how to control the development of Yuan Shao's power. As a result, Han Fu did not listen to Jushou's advice.

As for Tian Feng, he and Han Fu didn't deal with each other at that time, so when Yuan Shao came to Jizhou, he basically hit it off with Yuan Shao. Then Yuan Shao visited Tian Feng with great fanfare, which gave Tian Feng enough face and put on a good show. With the appearance of deputy corporal Li Xian, Tian Feng naturally reciprocated the favor, and the subsequent matchmaking eventually led to Han Fu's destruction.

"My lord, you are drunk!" Tian Feng said with a serious face, "Come here, help Ju get some rest..." No matter how good-tempered Tian Feng was, it was a bit unbearable to be scolded by Ju Shou, who almost pointed his nose at him.

Several servants came over and bowed to Jushou first, then went up and carried Jushou to the guest room. Jushou was in a daze and muttered something from time to time, but these servants acted as if they couldn't hear him, or even pretended not to hear him.

Tian Feng watched Jushu being carried down and was silent for a long time. Then he waved to his confidant who was standing in the hall with his hands down, stretched his head and whispered a few words...

The confidant understood, bowed his head and accepted the order and left.

The cold wind brought snowflakes rolling down, blocking the sight, and seemed to begin to block the human heart.

In Yecheng, Jizhou, Guo Tu met with Yuan Shao and reported: "I have heard this ballad being sung in the countryside recently, and many of it have the intention of slandering my lord... I am afraid it was instigated by someone..."

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Who do you think Gongze did?"

Guo Tu smiled, his smile was somewhat sinister, and he cupped his hands and said, "Tu has never heard of it. But... Tu privately believes that this rumor is widely spread, and whoever can benefit from it is the one who did it..."

"Who benefits from it?" Yuan Shao murmured again, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Does Gong Ze have a good plan?"

"This..." Guo Tu hesitated.

Yuan Shao understood and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, stand down! Anyone within twenty steps of the hall who intends to eavesdrop without orders will be killed without mercy!"

"Wei!" The armored men guarding the hall immediately responded loudly, and then the sound of clanging iron pieces gradually faded away.

"The public principle can make it clear..." Yuan Shao lowered his voice.

"Lord..." Guo Tugong cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "This...if you say this...wouldn't it ruin the friendship between colleagues...Tu really dare not say..." Although he said this, Guo Tu He quickly glanced at Yuan Shao's face, and then continued, "But since the Lord is asking... Tu can only speak frankly..."

"Well... Sir, please tell me..." Yuan Shao's face turned slightly pale.

"Reporting to my lord," Guo Tu said in a low voice, "Tu once heard that hunters feed dogs and hunt animals in the mountains without getting any flesh and blood. The dogs want to bite back, so they hit their waists, cut off their claws and teeth, and then the dogs lay dormant..."

"Hit his waist and cut off his claws and teeth?" Yuan Shao repeated, thoughtfully.
