Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 51 Zhen Jiang
Zhen Mi drooped her eyelids slightly, chewing on the mustache, "I plan to go back in the afternoon. I haven't given my father the peace talisman I asked for last time."

"Well. I'll go with you."

Zhen Mi raised her head and gave him a surprised look.

Yuan Xi also looked at her, "Is there a problem?"

"Oh no."

"It's decided."

After Yuan Xi finished eating, he said with a smile: "My father-in-law has to go and see if he's sick. I'm thinking about what to give when I go in the afternoon."

"Just go, not at home."

Looking at Yuan Xi's back, Zhen Mi retracted her words.

In the afternoon, Yuan Xi packed a carriage with large and small bags, and Zhen Mi held a safety talisman in her hand.

Yuan Xi got into the carriage and saw that she didn't bring anything, "Aren't you going to bring something?"

"It's all in the house."

"So it seems that I made those things redundant?"

"more or less."

Zhen Mi wanted to say no, but when she thought about what happened last night and morning, no matter how well-bred she was, she couldn't help being angry.

"Giving goose feathers from thousands of miles away is light in gifts and affection. Although the old man's house is close, but if you don't have any of these, it seems a little underestimating my old man's wealth. It will be bad to get angry at that time."

Yuan Xi poked his head out of the carriage, waved to the carriage behind him and said, "The things are unloaded, you don't have to follow."

The corners of Zhen Mi's eyes twitched slightly, and she tightly clenched a pair of fists in her wide cuffs.

Yuan Xi retracted his head, somewhat confused: "Ma'am, do you think this is okay?"

Zhen Mi forced a smile on her face, "It's good. As long as your husband is happy."

Yuan Xi put his head on Zhen Mi's round thigh as a pillow, picked up the peace talisman in her bosom, played with it, closed his eyes and waved his hands.

Zhen Mi took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's go."

At this time, Zhen Mansion.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Zhen Yao, who was rarely at home, ordered his subordinates to clean up the house.

"Put a flower pot over there, take the hoe away and put it in the front yard."

A group of servants of Zhen's mansion were sent around under Zhen Yao's command.

"Xiao Yao, who is coming?"

Suddenly a pleasant voice sounded.

Zhen Yao turned his head, and saw a glamorous woman in her thirties, with a plump figure and a dignified appearance, looking at him curiously.

Zhen Yao hurriedly said with a smile: "Eldest sister, turn around and sister will be back later."

It was his elder sister Zhen Jiang who came.

If you want to say who is the best to him in the house, it must be the eldest sister Zhen Jiang.

For Zhen Jiang, Zhen Yao is full of respect.

But he was quite helpless about what happened to his eldest sister.

Zhen Jiang was married twice, one time the man of the family died before going out;

Zhen Jiang became a veritable widow.

There are rumors in the market that the Zhen family is a bastard, and whoever marries will be unlucky.

So far, Zhen Jiang has given up the idea of ​​getting married, and lives in seclusion.

Even the gate of Zhen Mansion is rarely stepped out.

Zhen Jiang said with a smile: "You have a heart. In the past, when the younger sister came back, you were too lazy to go home."

"Brother-in-law is coming too."

Zhen Yao looked excited and laughed.

Zhen Jiang covered her lips and smiled delicately, "Xianyi has come here quite a few times, why didn't I see you so excited like today?"

"That's different."

Zhen Yao rolled his eyes, lowered his voice and said: "Sister, I can't explain this matter too clearly. But you must know that brother-in-law is not ordinary now, he is a big shot."

Zhen Jiang smiled faintly: "He has always been a big shot, but no matter how big he is, he is also my brother-in-law."

Zhen Yao stared and said, "That's different, I, I'm working under my brother-in-law now."

Zhen Jiang's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Zhen Yao didn't do anything serious and was always a headache for the whole family. It would be a good thing if he could work under Yuan Xi's errands.

"Why lie to you?" Zhen Yao looked proud, "I didn't tell anyone about this, you can't leak it out. And what I do is private, so I can't say it for outsiders."

"What kind of official position is so secretive that you can't even talk about it?"

"In short, I can't say it, the official is not small."

Zhen Yao chuckled, waved his hands and said, "Let's not talk about it, I'll clean up the yard first."

Zhen Jiang thought about going back to change a set of clothes, when the butler rushed in anxiously, "The little lady is back, the little lady is back."

Zhen Yao ran over a few steps and grabbed the housekeeper's clothes, "Where's brother-in-law?"

"The carriage has just arrived at the gate."

Before the butler finished speaking, Zhen Yao had already quickly ran out.

Zhen Jiang looked at Zhen Yao, who was in a hurry, without any stability, and couldn't help shaking his head.

After a moment of hesitation, he also walked towards the door.

Yuan Xi jumped out of the carriage, looked him over, and nodded secretly.

The mansion built by the Zhen family in Jixian County is very simple, from the outside, Yuan Xi would never think that there is a rich man from Hebei living here.

"Brother-in-law."

Zhen Yao rushed out, and when he saw Yuan Xi, he hurriedly shouted, looking excited.

Yuan Xi nodded with a smile, and said to Zhen Yao who ran to her side: "Your sister said that you are usually away from home, but I didn't expect you to be here."

Zhen Yao pondered the meaning of this sentence, scratched his head and said, "I heard that my brother-in-law is coming, so I came back and asked my servants to tidy up the house, so as not to neglect my brother-in-law."

"Good job." Yuan Xi patted him on the shoulder and praised him.

Zhen Yao was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"It's rare to see brother," Zhen Mi Pingting came over and joked, "I went back to the house several times, but I couldn't see you once. Why are you at home when your brother-in-law comes? Could it be that you are a sister, not a sister?" Brother-in-law's kiss?"

Zhen Yao said with a bitter face: "Sister, stop joking, don't you know how dear you are to me?"

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "Lead the way, go and see your father-in-law. Is he in better health?"

Zhen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the way, explaining: "I sprained my neck, I can't move, it hurts even if I move."

Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes were full of worry and she said: "It's not a serious illness, it's worse than a serious illness. Father can't eat well, can't sleep well, let alone dare to move. He has lost a lot of weight."

After all, his eyes turned red.

Zhen Yao also sighed, as if his old father was hopeless.

Yuan Xi didn't know what to say, so he thought about it: "Could it be a stiff neck?"

"stiff neck?"

"It's caused by poor sleeping posture."

Zhen Yao shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, my father was sprained. I went to Jizhou some time ago and came back fine, but I sprained my neck the next afternoon."

"Little sister, Xianyi is back."

Suddenly a gentle voice sounded, and Yuan Xi looked up, only to see a dignified and beautiful woman in plain clothes coming slowly.

The beauty came to the two of them, held Zhen Mi's arm, and smiled at him, "Xian Yi is coming, why don't you send someone to tell you in advance?"

Zhen Mi grabbed the beautiful woman's arm instead, and said softly: "My dear sister, he is not a distinguished guest, do we need to send someone to talk to him?"

It turned out to be the eldest sister.

Yuan Xi greeted her and said with a smile: "I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare any presents. I hope Eldest Sister will not be offended."
