Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Wei Man silently removed Zhang Rangji's hand on his forehead, gathered Zhang Rang's clothes, then silently turned his head and got on the couch, lay down and closed his eyes to sleep.

If someone undressed in front of Wei Man in such a coquettish manner on weekdays, Wei Man would definitely make a frivolous joke.

However, Wei Man also knew that his banter would have no effect on Zhang Rang, so he didn't bother to say much, and slept in his clothes in silence.

Seeing that Wei Man didn't want to say more, Zhang Rang didn't ask any further questions, and the "understanding" one also lay down and fell asleep.

The two of them fell asleep together, Zhang Rang soon rested and took a long breath, while Wei Man was afraid that Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao would come to spy on him, and on the other hand, the image of Zhang Rang undressing kept flickering in his mind, and he was actually a little upset Confused, how can it be difficult to rest.

It wasn't until the next day that the sky was getting darker that Wei Man squinted his eyes and fell asleep for a while, then got up again.

Because Wei Man, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Miao's three teams just landed in Fu Jia's house yesterday, they didn't entertain them much. Today, Fu Jia prepared a luncheon and invited everyone to show respect.

Wei Man, Zhang Rang and Xia Yuanyun went to Fu Jia's dining hall, and whispered: "Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao have brought elites with them, we will be careful and be more vigilant."

Although Xia Yuanyun looked simple and simple, he was not stupid, he nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, brother."

The three of them entered the dining hall, where Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao were already present, and when the rich man saw them coming, he stood up to greet them.

Wei Man was just a school lieutenant, and Xiyuan school lieutenant existed in name only when Tong Gao entered Beijing, while Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao, a Bohai prefect and a Chenliu prefect, were both county magistrates, and their official titles surpassed that of Wei Mantou. The military equipment also overwhelmed Wei Mantou and the others, neither of them stood up to greet them.

Wei Man walked in with a smile on his face, arched his hands, and saluted Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao, saying, "Both brothers."

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand, so Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao couldn't say anything, and they all bowed their hands in return.

After everyone sat down, Fu Jia, as the host, introduced everyone.

In fact, Wei Man, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Miao were old acquaintances in Luoyang City. The three of them were good friends in the past. They ate meat and drank wine together, but now that disaster was imminent, they had to fly separately.

In particular, they are all leading soldiers, they all say that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and they should have separate regimes, but now they have to gather together, I am afraid it is just a joke of God.

The intention of Yuan Shao's visit this time is already obvious. He has been calling on warlords from all over the world to rally against Tong Gao.

Just because Yuan Shao first arrived in Bohai County, he was controlled and monitored by Jizhou Mu Hanfu sent by Tong Gao, so he was never able to escape, his behavior was controlled by others, and he failed to carry the banner of opposing Tong Gao.

These days, Tong Gao's atrocities have intensified, and he also claims to be "Noble One". Han Fu, the "minion" sent by Tong Gao, Jizhou Shepherd, feels that it is imperative to oppose Tong Gao, so he turns against him and joins Yuan Shao.

Coincidentally, although Han Fu, the Jizhou herdsman, had a first-class official title over Yuan Shao, his family was a disciple of the Yuan family.

Therefore, Han Fu took refuge in Yuan Shao under the banner of his disciple.

Now that no one was watching Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao regained his freedom, so he began to call for a coalition alliance, which is why Chen Liu made this trip.

Yuan Shao brought his cronies to Chenliu to mobilize in person. In fact, there is another hidden reason, that is, Chenliu is a relatively wealthy place, with many rich merchants, rich in oil and water, just to supplement military funds.

When Yuan Shao heard that Wei Manchu had arrived in Chenliu, he collected the wealth of the Wei family and recruited soldiers and horses. He was immediately envious, so he also wanted to make a fortune in Chenliu.

Only then did he choose to be a guest at the rich man's house, and he planned to lobby the rich man and donate money to serve the country!

Yuan Shao's mind is not as secretive as Wei Man's, so he can figure it out, how can Wei Man not think it out?

When Wei Man saw Yuan Shao, he immediately understood why he stayed here.

What about Zhang Miao?

Zhang Miao suddenly came to Junyi from Chenliu because he understood Yuan Shao's mind.

Junyi is under the jurisdiction of the prefect of Chenliu, so how can there be any reason to dump the oil and water from his own family to others?

When Zhang Miao heard that Yuan Shao was going to stay here, he rushed over without stopping.

So everyone gathered together, speaking righteously, but it can be said that everyone has their own thoughts.

The merchant introduced him to everyone, Wei Man looked at his appearance, this old man probably didn't know that Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao were thinking about his family property, if they knew, it would definitely not be the expression.

Sure enough, Fu Jia didn't know about it.

Whether Yuan Shao is in the temple or in the world, he is full of virtue and hope, especially when he left the crown and turned against Tong Gao, he was praised by everyone.

Therefore, Yuan Shao was able to stay in the merchant's house this time, and the merchants had no doubt about him, and were very happy to entertain such a hero.

Soon after the banquet started, Yuan Shao first toasted to the merchant. The merchant turned pale with shock, and said, "Don't dare to be, dare not be, Yuan Gong was a great hero at that time! A great hero! How can I be a mere salesman, dare to be Yuan Gong's wine?"

Yuan Shao laughed, and said boldly: "Eh? Normally, I'm not used to those who despise merchants! If you don't wait for merchants, who will take care of our food and clothing expenses?"

Merchants were even more pleased when they heard this, these noble warlords usually looked down on merchants, but now hearing Yuan Shao's words, they feel that Yuan Shao is a great hero.

Yuan Shao changed the subject and said: "Furthermore, I have heard people say that there is an old grandpa Wei in your Chenliu. The grandpa was born in Xiaolian and later turned into a businessman, but he understands righteousness and donates money to serve the country. It is really lamentable! It's admirable!"

The merchants were all smiles, and when they heard this, their smiles gradually froze. They all said that business is also a battlefield. This is true. Although the merchants did not have Yuan Shao's intriguing and hard-hearted heart that was trained in the court, they have seen some things in the world .

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and when he heard the four characters "donate money to serve the country", he suddenly realized it!

It turned out that Yuan Shao was staying in his house to persuade him to donate money?

In these years, there are not a few people who donate money to serve the country, and there are not a few people who are as conscious as Mr. Wei. They spend all their wealth just to resist Tong Gao.

But there are also some people who are reluctant to give up their hard-earned family assets. There is nothing to say about this, and it is understandable.

Merchants are the kind who feel sorry for their family assets, so when they heard Yuan Shao's words, their expressions changed several times and became stiffer.

Shang Jia didn't answer, but he was a smart man, fearing that he would offend Yuan Shao by categorically refusing.

Yuan Shao was staying here with his soldiers, and his soldiers and horses were all in the house at this time. The Fujia family was no better than the Wei family, with less than a hundred people. Even if there were guards and servants, they could not compete with the regular army.

The merchant was sweating on his forehead, and immediately wiped his cold sweat.

The merchant pretended to be confused, pretending to understand, but the two sentences were diverted, and Yuan Shao's complexion became a little bad, and he immediately left the dining hall with an excuse.

Just as Yuan Shao left, Zhang Miao said he was in a hurry and left together.

Yuan Shao went outside the hall and stood in the courtyard with a gloomy expression. Zhang Miao walked over immediately and said, "Why is Mr. Yuan bothered by these trivial things?"

Yuan Shao didn't speak, Zhang Miao said again: "Mr. Yuan dared to do justice to the world, and it is reasonable to ask for some military funds. This merchant is stubborn. He doesn't know the general situation like Mr. Wei, so it's better..."

As Zhang Miao spoke, he lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "It's better for Mr. Yuan not to do anything nonstop, but to directly silence the family. This messy army is all pushed to the Dong thief. Who would doubt you, Mr. Yuan? That's the rich man." His money is just donated to serve the country, and he can be regarded as worthy of the spirit of the ancestors after his death! Speaking of it, Yuan Gong still did a good deed!"

What Zhang Miao meant was obviously to let Yuan Shao do the work and pick up the melons by himself. After all, he had Yuan Shao's handle, so he could restrain Yuan Shao, and also share a share of the wealthy family's money.

When Yuan Shao heard it, how could he not know what Zhang Miao was thinking, and he immediately showed a sullen expression on his face, "Why did the prefect Chenliu say such a thing? I will never say such a thing in the future! This kind of behavior is not the same as Dong Bandit's tyrannical beast. What is the difference?"

Yuan Shao scolded Zhang Miao, didn't stay any longer, and went back to the dining hall. After a while, Zhang Miao also came back, and the expressions of the two were subtly different from before.

When Wei Man saw them coming back, he squinted his eyes and sneered. Since ancient times, there are only two things that brothers can ignore, one is money, and the other is soldiers.

The relationship between Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao is not very close, they met through Wei Man, and now there is a gap because of the division of the money of the rich, how can they talk together?

When Fu Jia saw them coming in, his expression was much calmer than before, and he seemed to be caressing.

Fu Jia smiled dryly and said, "Everyone! Everyone, listen to my words...now, in this world..."

As he spoke, his voice was even more dry, and he continued: "Nowadays, the world is full of soldiers and horses, Dong and bandits are tyrannical, and the people are in poverty. Although I am ordinary, I also want to be loyal to the country!"

Fu Jia expressed his attitude, and Yuan Shao laughed immediately. Sure enough, how can a mere merchant outsmart him?

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Fu Jia also said: "I have no children, only one daughter. After a hundred years, this family business will be left unattended. After all, it will be abandoned, so..."

As Fu Jia spoke, his eyes flicked over Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao, and Wei Man in turn, and finally fell on Zhang Rang who had been eating in silence and did not dare to drink.

Fu Jia said with a smile: "Therefore, I am not talented. My youngest daughter is only twenty-eight years old. She is just young. Although she is not proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she knows a thing or two about female red knitting. Mr. Changqiu has been kind to me." ...I want to entrust my little girl to Mr. Chang Qiu, if Mr. Chang Qiu does not give up and nods his head to agree to this happy event, I will entrust my huge family wealth to Mr. Chang Qiu with peace of mind, and it is also serious!"

entrust?

Happy event?

Fu Jia unexpectedly made a ruthless move, which can be said to be a drastic move, and wanted to recruit Zhang Rang as the son-in-law of the rich man!

Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao were taken aback, their smiles immediately froze on their faces, as if the ground had been cracked, and their eyes fell on Zhang Rang with a "shua--".

When Wei Man heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Rang, feeling a little strange in his heart, thinking that this eunuch had become a favorite of all the people at some point?

And Zhang Rang himself, holding a spoon and chopsticks in his hand, was picking up vegetables at this time. He paused while picking up vegetables, looked back at the crowd calmly, then silently withdrew his gaze, picked up the fish cakes calmly, put them in his mouth, and carefully picked them up. Chew slowly...
