Marriage is of course impossible.So far, there is only one person who really worries about marriage, and that is Fu Dian, who was sold by Da Fang.

No matter how you say it, it is not a decent thing for a man of an aristocratic family to marry a woman.When Fu Dian learned about this from his family member, his whole face changed in panic, and the porcelain cup in his hand fell to the ground with a "slap", and it immediately fell apart.

But he was not Fu Jun, and he didn't dare to make any small moves under Qin Chu's nose. The hand that was holding the teacup trembled three times, but he didn't say anything else.

"Yes...go to the General's Mansion tomorrow? I see."

He responded with a bitter face.

The general said one thing, not to mention marrying him, even if he wanted his head on the spot, Fu Dian would not dare not give it to him--there are hundreds of people in Fu's mansion, and the only one who is really not afraid of Qin Chu is Princess Yang'an.

All in all, when he entered the General's Mansion with the title of Brother Qin Chu, and was watched by a group of civil servants and military generals and walked into the study, his expression was quite difficult.

"Ah, the sixth brother is here." Qin Chu didn't know his troubles, and sat on the couch with a celadon teacup in his hand.Sitting next to her was a scribe with a strange face, who also raised his head when he heard the sound.

This scribe was born thin, with a bit of mean eyebrows and eyes. When he saw Fu Dian coming in, he stared at him for a while, his expression changed a few times, and finally turned into a complicated one.The joy and anxiety on that face take off, red and green are the same color, it seems that his mood is quite exciting.

Fu Dian: "..." Are you married too?

Qin Chu waved at him, signaled to sit down, and introduced to him, "This is General Yuan's envoy, Xu You and Xu Ziyuan."

"Meet Mr. Xu."

Xu You gave him a salty and bitter smile: "Master Fu Liu."

Probably Qin Chu’s General’s Mansion is really a bit of a scribe. Anyway, after Xu You stayed for less than ten days, he felt that he had suffered eight or nine of the hardships in his life—physical and psychological.

"Fushi's list of betrothal gifts, I will give it to you after sorting it out."

Qin Chu nodded to Xu You, glanced at Fu Dian, and said without hesitation, "Whether the groom will return to Jizhou with Your Excellency soon, or send it with the bride price, please feel free."

Xu You...what else can Xu You say.

Yuan Shao's purpose was to marry the Fu family, but he didn't say whether it was an ordinary marriage or a marriage. What's more, judging from the results alone, Fu Dian's marriage did make General Yuan of Jizhou look more dignified. What does he have? What is the reason for not accepting it?

He had no choice but to swear a few words in the bottom of his heart, "The Empress Dowager", and squeezed out a submissive smile at Qin Chu:

"You understand, thank you General."

Fu Dian didn't have the right to speak, so he could only sit with his head down and watch his heart.

What followed was the discussion between the three of them about the marriage itself—but it was more like Xu You's unilateral memorization. After all, Fu Dian was just an unlucky guy who was caught as a sacrifice, and Qin Chu didn't care about marriage rituals at all. Li, just listened to his report without a word.

"Jizhou's economy is still affluent. Last year's harvest was objective and the place is stable. Mr. Dian doesn't need to worry about the dowry." Xu You sneaked a glance at Qin Chu, but the other party's expression remained calm.

Fu Dian: "Okay."

Xu You coughed lightly: "It's snowing heavily this year, and the road to the north is a bit difficult. When you go to Luoyang, you have limited manpower. If Mr. Dian waits for the next spring to go to Jizhou, the road will be easier."

Fu Dian was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to agree or not, he glanced at Qin Chu from the corner of his eye, and saw that she still had a calm but irrelevant expression, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer, "Dian understands."

Xu You glanced at Qin Chu again, only to see that she was still in a leisurely manner, she had no intention of speaking, the corner of her eye twitched, and she could only continue:

"Besides that, there are ritual matters. Luoyang is too far away from Jizhou, so it's inconvenient to travel in winter. What my lord means is that the engagement ceremony may be temporarily postponed, and it will be made up together when we get married."

Qin Chu took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, and put the teacup back on the table without haste, still without saying a word.

Xu You: "..."

He really couldn't figure out what the general meant.

It wasn't until the end that Xu You smiled stiffly, and ended the conversation with the words "detailed matters will be sent to the steward of the mansion", and finally got out of the study as if granted amnesty after getting Qin Chu's consent to "discuss the remaining matters at a later date".

"... Fu Yiren really shouldn't be underestimated."

He turned and closed the silk door of the living room, looking at the spacious and tidy bedroom in front of him, he couldn't help stroking his beard, and muttered to himself.

It can be seen from a glimpse of the leopard in the tube.During the days when he was told about the General's Mansion, although he had limited contact with Qin Chu himself, he was able to observe the operation mode of the mansion itself.

The question raised late at night two days ago had an extremely complete solution early this morning.Whether it was the proposal of the marriage plan, the detailed list of supplies provided by the in-laws, or even the groom himself who was extremely obedient this morning, all seemed to confirm the high efficiency of the Qin and Chu scribes.

In this way, the other thing he has to do needs to be more cautious.

Xu You pursed his lips, looked around, and piled up several large scrolls of bamboo slips under the hollowed-out wooden window, barely covering the view from the window, then bent down and opened the cabinet in the living room.

The upper shelf of the cabinet is for official documents, and the lower shelf is his change of clothes.Xu You groped for a while among the neatly folded robes, and slowly pulled out a thin jacket, and spread it out in the cupboard under the slight morning sunlight.

He leaned over and put his upper body into the shadow of the cabinet, then slowly took out an iron reamer from his sleeve pocket, carefully cut open the left cuff of the jacket, and stretched his hand in to feel it for a while. , before taking out a slightly wrinkled letter.

"Wen Xian my friend:

It's been a long time, I really feel pregnant..."

Xu Ziyuan took a deep breath, carried him into his arms, carefully tidied up the cabinets, turned around and pushed open the wooden door of the living room.

"Meng De didn't come today either."

"Xu Ziyuan has been here for the past few days, Captain Cao has stayed in his mansion. Although it is because of Second Young Master Cao's fever, I think there is also a reason to avoid suspicion."

"Well," Qin Chu put down the teacup noncommittally, and pulled the calmly burning brazier slightly closer to let his body warm up.She said: "Actually, I don't really care that he is old with Xu You."

After all, Cao Cao and Xu You are constantly hurting each other in another timeline.

Xu You put profit first, so he made great achievements and sacrificed his life because of it, which is actually nothing to worry about; Cao Cao is a really smart man.

Even if he doesn't consider his loyalty to him, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to be tricked into Yuan Shao's subordinate by someone like Xu You when she is in harmony with the emperor on the surface and has abundant resources in her hands.

Xun Yu smiled at her, and he didn't know whether he believed her or not, but his tone was still very gentle: "Although I said so, my lord does not necessarily pay less attention to Xu Ziyuan."

"After all, he is still Yuan Benchu's mastermind," Qin Chu said frankly, "I fear his master, so I also fear him himself."

She seemed to want to say something more, but she stopped, her brows frowned, and her eyes froze in place.

After waiting for a while, Qin Chu suddenly stretched out his right hand, his two fingers were slightly joined together, and the second knuckle tapped three times on the desk very regularly.

"Tap-tap--"

Two short and one long seem to have some meaning.

Xun Yu's gaze immediately moved to the main entrance.

Soon, the door of the office was pulled open.Li Yushan entered the room, bowed his head to her, and quickly said: "My lord, Xu You took the carriage around four times, and finally went to the eastern Lifang."

"Yongheli? He and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are both Tai students, and their social circles overlap a lot, so it is expected to go there."

Li Yu lowered his head after handing over the message, strictly following the duties of the secret guard, pretending to be dead and not saying a word.

Instead, Xun Yu straightened his back, showed a thoughtful look, and asked, "Which families did Xu Ziyuan go to?"

Li Yu paused, thinking and recalling: "About... there are Wang Changshi's mansion, Deng Yushi's mansion, and Liu Yilang's mansion. The specific information has not been sent back yet, and I will send it later."

"Thank you." Xun Yu bowed his hands together and watched Li Yu pull the door out again. After he left, he frowned slightly and unconsciously looked out the window.

Outside the window is still sunny and peaceful.

Qin Chu looked at him with his chin in his hands: "Wen Ruo didn't ask him 'which household' he went to, but asked 'which' household, did he guess something?"

"Before the news arrives, Yu dare not say anything." Xun Yu shook his head and said slowly, "I just think that Xu Ziyuan came here in secret without telling the emperor about his trip. In this case, if he went out to visit others, he would not Maybe it's just for reminiscence."

"So he visited everyone at once to confuse the public and avoid people's eyes and ears, so that his purpose would not be easily exposed?"

……

Probably in order to finish work early and go home for the late Spring Festival, Xu You returned to Jizhou in a rather hasty time.On the second day after he handed Yuan Shao's wedding list to Qin Chu, he made a request to return to the north.

So Cao Pi's fever healed as a matter of course.

After dealing with the fever of the second son, Cao Mengde, the captain of the Dianjun who understands the general principles, finally appeared in the General's Mansion logically. At this time, he was holding the hands of the counselor of the Yuan family with tears in his eyes:

"Ziyuan, it's been a long time!"

"Meng De is safe and sound!" Xu You also grabbed his hand with tears in his eyes.

Qin Chu: "..."

The lacrimal gland system of these two people is probably the same system, which means that they cry when they cry.One of the two avoided seeing old acquaintances, the other harbored resentment towards the General's Mansion, but the day before they left, they acted like brothers and sisters.

Qin Chu listened to both ears, and was overwhelmed by the nonsense such as "good health", "family is good", "weather is good" and so on. He was really not in the mood to listen to middle-aged men show off their acting skills, and turned around. , Just go to bully Cao's son.

Wei Wendi Cao Pi, who will be amazing and talented in the future, is only three years old now, and he is still a four-headed child. His face is so pale that he looks like Xun Yu's parent and son. It is indeed very fulfilling to play with.

Cao Ang had just been called by Ma Chao to practice martial arts, so Cao Pi could only accept his brother's order of "you stand here and don't move around", and really stood still.

Cao Pi stayed where he was, looking at the sky, the ground, the flying birds, and his father who was still playing with his old friend. He really felt that he had nothing to do, and finally He bent down and began to pull the flowers and plants in the garden.

Qin Chu walked slowly behind him, and before he could figure out how to speak kindly, he saw Guo Jia approaching him first, squatting down and looking at little Cao Pi.

Cao Pi tilted his head, and before he could speak, he saw Guo Jia pointing at the weeds on the ground with a smile, and said in a sinister tone:

"Oh, young master Cao. This is the Luoyang white peony planted by the general himself. If you tear it up, the general will throw you out to feed the tiger."

"I, I—" Cao Pi's face changed instantly, his hand holding the grass shook violently, and his eyes turned red, "Mr. Guo, I didn't mean it!"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Erlang pretending to be indifferent, seeing how he was biting his lip and blushing, and just about to add fuel to the scene, his gaze flickered, and he met Qin Chu again.

Guo Jia then smiled and winked at her.

Qin Chu also laughed, showing two fangs like a lion and a tiger, and his eyes flickered slightly.The general coughed lightly, his face turned cold, and he walked behind Cao Pi with a serious expression:

"Not even unintentionally."

Cao Pi froze, turned around very slowly, raised his head in a daze, looked at Qin Chu dully, was startled by those twinkling emerald green almond eyes, pouted his mouth, and actually forgot how to cry.

"Big, big... General!"

Only then did Qin Chu laugh out loud.
