Xiahoudun returned to Hejian, but did not go to the prefect's mansion. He was not sure if Cao Shuo would see him!

I can only direct my attention to Zhen's house!

"Uncle of Cao Shuo, Prime Minister of Hejian, Xiahou Dun, please see Miss Zhen!"

A servant hurriedly ran back to the inner courtyard to report.

"Ma'am, a strong man who claims to be my uncle's uncle wants to see the eldest lady!"

"Ok?"

Zhen Jiang's mother, Mrs. Zhang, couldn't help but frown. Zhen Jiang is in the prefect's mansion, why is he coming to Zhen's house?
But since it was someone from her in-laws, she had no reason not to see her, after all, the dowry hadn't been given yet.

"Tuo'er, you bring people in!"

"promise!"

The second daughter, Zhen Tuo, came outside the gate of the mansion and saw Xiahou Dun standing there looking into the mansion from time to time, very anxious!

"Niece, I have something to ask you!"

Xiahou Dun was in a hurry and didn't look carefully. In fact, he didn't pay attention to Zhen Jiang's appearance. The two sisters looked too much alike.

"Nephew?"

Zhen Tuo looked at Xiahou Dun suspiciously, she felt that the other party must have admitted the wrong person.

However, before she could explain, Xiahou Dun said again:

"Niece, your father-in-law wants to buy some food from you!"

Zhen Tuo stared at Xiahou Dun with black lines all over her head. If this word got out, she would still have the face to face others.

"Mr. Xiahou, you've got the wrong person!"

"How could it be, niece and daughter-in-law, even if Cao Shuo resents Meng De, it is his father. Besides, we bought it with money, and it is not for nothing!"

Xiahoudun didn't expect that Zhen Jiang would turn his face and deny anyone after only seeing him for a day. Could it be that Cao Shuo gave the order?

Zhen Jiang said with a gloomy face:

"Mr. Xiahou, my name is Zhen Tuo, and you are talking about my sister!"

"Uh!"

Xia Houdun looked confused, why do you know each other so well?

"I'm sorry, I'm blind in the next moment!"

"Mr. Xiahou, my mother is here!"

Xiahoudun had no choice but to follow Zhen Tuo to see Mrs. Zhang and explained the whole way, but Zhen Tuo didn't say a word.

"Xiahoudun met his mother-in-law!"

"Why did Mr. Xiahou come to my Zhen's house?"

"I'm here to find Miss Zhen Jiang to buy food and grass!"

"Jiang'er lives in the prefect's mansion!"

Mrs. Zhang looked puzzled, and just went to the prefect's mansion to buy food and grass.

"Well, I can't get in the prefect's mansion!"

"Oh, I remembered, Cao Mengde abandoned Cao Shuo, so Cao Shuo has always held a grudge in his heart, right?"

Xiahou Dun looked embarrassed, thinking to himself, you finally remembered this thing!
"Do you think it is possible to send someone to call Miss Zhen Jiang back?"

"Tuo'er, go and call your eldest sister back!"

"promise!"

Zhen Tuo walked out in a dispirited manner. The Cao family was all hateful, except Brother Cao!

"Thank you Madam Zhen!"

"I have something that I want you to bring back to Cao Cao!"

"Madam Zhen, please tell me!"

"My daughter has lived in the prefect's mansion for some time, why didn't I see the Cao family's dowry!"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang was very angry, but her daughter didn't say anything, and she couldn't blame her publicly.

"Uh, I'll go back and tell Meng De about this, and give the dowry as soon as possible!"

Xiahoudun admired his nephew so much that he abducted his daughter even without a dowry.

"As soon as possible, in case something happens to the two of you, our Zhen family's face..."

"What happened?"

Xiahou Dun thought for a while, and finally understood.

"Madam Zhen, don't worry. After I go back, I will urge Meng De to take care of this matter."

Cao Shuo is only 15 years old, young and energetic, and does not think carefully about things. If Cao Cao arranges the marriage for Cao Shuo, then Cao Shuo will definitely be grateful, and the relationship may be eased a lot.

However, he thought of that superb beauty Zhen Tuo, and suddenly had an idea.

"Madam Zhen, I don't know if Miss Zhen Tuo is married?"

"It's settled!"

"Oh, I don't know which son it is?"

Xiahou Dun was disappointed. He originally wanted to propose marriage to Cao Ang, and asked the two families to have a closer marriage, but he didn't expect Zhen Tuo to agree.

Mrs. Zhang took a sip of tea and said leisurely:
"Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan!"

"Who?"

Xia Houdun looked at Zhang with a speechless face, is this worthless woman worthy of such a beautiful woman?
"Yuan Tan, do you know Mr. Xiahou?"

"Then this marriage may not work out!"

"Why?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xiahoudun displeased. It's fine if your family doesn't give the bride price, but you even cursed my second daughter!
"Because Yuan Tan is locked up in Cao Shuo's prison."

"what!"

Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened, Cao Shuo imprisoned Yuan Tan for what!

"Mrs. Zhen, don't you know? Yuan Shao robbed Miss Zhen Jiang of food and grass, was attacked by Cao Shuo's army, and was captured alive by Cao Shuo's men before the battle!"

"And this thing?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xiahoudun in disbelief, this Cao Shuo was really reckless, how could he offend the Yuan family.

"No, I'm going to the prefect's mansion to get Yuan Tanbao out."

Saying that Mrs. Zhang stood up, she was about to go out, but she didn't expect Zhen Jiang and Zhen Tuo to come back.

"Absolutely not!"

Mrs. Zhang asked:
"Jiang'er, Yuan Tan is your sister's fiancé, how can you treat him like this."

"Mother, a waste who was captured alive by a woman before the battle, also wants to marry my sister?"

Then Zhen Jiang explained the detailed process, and Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhen Jiang in disbelief, this Cao Shuo was really messing around.

"Mother, I'll discuss the younger sister's matter later. I'll deal with Uncle Xiahou's matter first."

Zhen Tuo had already informed Zhen Jiang when Cao Cao wanted to buy grain and grass, and Zhen Jiang said bluntly:
"It's okay to buy grain and grass. When we buy grain and grass, we sell it, but the price will not be lower."

"My niece and daughter-in-law just make an offer."

"We barter for things, no money!"

"Why?"

Xiahou Dun was amazed. Didn't you need any money these days?
"My husband said that money doesn't keep its value. If you have the same resources or population, it's fine."

"Really can't use money?"

Xiahou Dun thought Cao Shuo was making things difficult for them.

Zhen Jiangsheng was afraid that Xiahoudun would misunderstand, so he explained:

"No matter who buys our supplies, they don't need money, not for your family."

"Then I'll go back and discuss with Mengde to see what to exchange!"

When Xiahou Dun was about to leave, Zhen Jiang suddenly stopped him.

"By the way, uncle, my husband said, if it's gold, then it will be fine."

"Thank you, niece and daughter-in-law. I'll go back and take care of this."

After Xiahoudun left, Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhen Jiang with a gloomy face, and asked, "Jiang Er, I don't care what you buy or do with the family's money, but you must give me an account of the Yuan family's affairs. "

The Yuan family is so powerful that they cannot be provoked by a family of merchants, let alone a group of girls.

"Mother, other matters can be discussed, but this matter is not negotiable. My sister cannot marry Yuan Tan."

"Hmph, do you think that if you marry the Prime Minister, I can't control you?"

"Mother can always take care of the son, but Yuan Tan is a waste, and the Yuan family has a false name, which will delay my sister's life."

"I have already promised the Yuan family."

Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that since Zhen Jiang followed Cao Shuo, she would not be so obedient, and everything would consider Cao Shuo's interests first.

"Does mother want my sister to be a widow without getting through the door?"
