Chapter 94 Everyone is watching! (Please ask for a monthly ticket—(1/2)
Xun Chen, whose courtesy name is Youruo, was from Yingyin, Yingchuan County.
His father was Xun Fu, one of the eight dragons of the Xun family, and his brother, the famous Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.
The Xun family is the most powerful family in Yingchuan, with many talented children in the family. Xun Chen, his brother Xun Yan and his younger brother Xun Yu, also known as Sanruo. In addition, there is a cousin named Xun Yue, whose courtesy name is Zhongyu, who is as famous as them. Below them, there are people like Xun You. Therefore, no one can compare to Xun's reputation in Yingchuan. Even Zhong, Chen and Han, who were also the four wealthy families in Yingchuan, were left far behind by Xun.
Adhering to the habit of a wealthy family not putting all eggs in one basket, the objects that Xun's children assisted are also different.
For example, Xun Chen is more optimistic about Yuan Shao.
Xun Yan and Xun Yu defected to Cao Cao.
Xun Yue was an old loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He is now recruited by Cao Cao and appointed as the Minister of the Yellow Sect.
"Husband, you mean..."
Mrs. Chen suddenly remembered something and immediately showed a complicated expression.
Xun Chen smiled bitterly and nodded, "Although Zhong Yu was joking for a while back then, I and Ziqigong clapped their high fives to make a promise.
Later, when Mr. Ziqi was killed, we all thought he had already died, so we didn't take this matter to heart. But now... if this Liu Chuang was really the fat Chuanger back then, would the agreement that year still have to be fulfilled? I am also worried about this."
Mrs. Chen, too, was silent!
Xun Chen was much younger than Liu Tao, but Liu Tao was open-minded and had a good relationship with the Xun family. In addition, he married the daughter of Zhong as his wife, so in terms of generation, he was a peer with Xun Chen and others. That was many years ago. At that time, Liu Tao's concubine Sima was pregnant with Liu Jia, and Liu Tao invited guests at home. Xun Yue and Xun Chen and others who were with him on weekdays also went to the banquet to celebrate.
At the banquet, Xun Yue also made a joke: Ziqi, you have a good relationship with us, and I hope that the Liu and Xun families will be closer in the future.
Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant, it is better for us to become a family in the future. Do you think?
Liu Tao smiled and said, "You guys are all men, how can you get married?
Xun Chen was drunk and said, "That means, if I have a daughter, would you agree?"
Liu Tao said: "If you really have a daughter, I will agree to the marriage between the two families."
Xun Chen immediately said: "Since that's the case, it's a promise to slam high."
So, the two families made a marriage... Two years later, Xun Chen really had a daughter named Xun Dan. Although Liu Tao and Xun Chen were both jokes after drinking, they were both famous scholars, so they could not regret what they said, so naturally they agreed to the marriage.
Later, Liu Tao was killed and the Liu family was extinct.
Xun Chen was sad for a long time and sent someone to find Liu Tao's descendants...
As for the result, it is not difficult to guess. Shi Shi Changshi was in power, and Liu Yong took Liu Chuang to hide his name and hide from others. How could Xun Chen find Liu Chuang? More than ten years have passed, and Xun Chen gradually faded. Seeing Xun Dan growing up day by day, Xun Chen even regarded her as a pearl in his hand. Two years ago, Yuan Shao was thinking about marrying him, but Xun Chen found an excuse and shirked him away.
Now, Liu Chuang is born.
The news that he was the son of Liu Tao also came to Xun Chen's ears.
This surprised Xun Chen very much. In a flash of more than ten years, Liu Chuang suddenly appeared, catching him off guard.
Mrs. Chen was also very surprised when she heard the news.
"Husband, is that Liu Chuang really fat?"
It turns out that Liu Chuang is not fat now, but has been chubby since he was a child, so he has the nickname of Fat Chuang. However, Liu Yong definitely dared not use this title. So Liu Chuang is not sure that he has such a nickname.
Mrs. Chen felt very confused and didn't know what to do.
Xun Chen said softly: "I'm not particularly clear about the specific situation. The news came from Xuzhou. It is said that he had the Mobao and Liu family genealogy left by Ziqi back then. If it was true, I'm afraid he might be Fat Chuang. Poor Ziqi was harmed by a traitor. Fortunately, God has eyes, so he will not be able to die. But I heard that he has bad morals... It seems that he had snatched someone else's daughter in Xuzhou."
"How can that be?"
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately showed displeasure.
"If he is so, how can Dan'er marry him?"
In fact, Mrs. Chen has some thoughts. She hopes that her daughter Xun Dan can marry the Yuan family.
In this way, the relationship between Xun Chen and the Yuan family will inevitably be closer, which will be of great benefit to Xun Chen's development.
You know, Yuan Shao’s tent is not a solid piece of iron. He has many factions, and local people in Jizhou and outsiders are fighting very hard. Xun Chen is a Yingchuan person and has defected from Han Fu, so he naturally inevitably gets involved.
If Xun and Yuan families get married, wouldn’t Xun Chen get rid of the whirlpool?
Mrs. Chen said: "Husband, I know you were taken care of by Mr. Zi Qi, but this matter...
The Marquis of Zhongling passed away for many years, and God knows whether Liu Chuang was the fat brother of the past. Even if he stole his daughter, what kind of virtue is he? The Xun family is a great family in Yingchuan. They not only need to be of equal status, but also value virtue. If a daughter marrys such a person, wouldn’t it ruin her for the rest of her life?
I think Xianfu is just old and has outstanding talent and outstanding knowledge, which is even more popular among the officials of the Chuchu.
Mrs. Liu sent someone to talk about this a while ago.”
"how do you say?"
Xun Chen's face darkened and he asked sternly.
Xianfu is Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Shang, while Mrs. Liu is Yuan Shang's mother.
Seeing that Xun Chen's face was not good-looking, Mrs. Chen was also a little scared, so she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, husband, I have not agreed, I only talk about Dan'er's marriage. I have always had a husband as the leader, so I need to ask you about your husband."
"Hmph, fortunately you didn't agree.
Women, don’t get involved in the matter here. I am now ordered to assist the eldest son. If you agree, the disaster will come. Do you know that Xianfu has been competing with the eldest son for favor, and Mrs. Liu has been coaxing the first son to be the heir to make Xianfu the first son.
Since ancient times, how can there be a reason for abolishing the elders and establishing the young people?
Not to mention, the eldest son is the eldest son, how can he make Xianfu the legitimate?
Now that the public account is in chaos and endless disputes, there are also reasons for this. If you agree to the marriage, the eldest son will definitely be unhappy, and it will inevitably make it more difficult for me to do it. In the future, Mrs. Liu will mention this matter again, so you can return her to me."
Mrs. Chen looked ugly, bit her lip and didn't dare to speak anymore.
"As for the marriage I decided to have Zhongyu as a witness, how could I regret it?
The most urgent thing is to find out whether Liu Chuang is Fat Chuang... As for his virtues, they are all heard of it. I don’t know whether it is true. I will send someone to inquire about this matter, so don’t worry about it anymore. If he is Fat Chuang, it would be a good thing. I heard that he was going to Yingchuan, but was blocked by Ah Man. Fortunately, if Wen didn’t know, he would have decided to be Ah Man.”
"Tiger General?"
Although Mrs. Chen was not very convinced, she couldn't help asking: "Is this Liu Chuang very powerful?"
"He was in Runan, defeating Li Tong first, and then killing Zhu Nu.
Then he conquered Xiang County, forced the Sui River, captured Pengcheng, and defeated Lu Bu.
A few days ago, he led his troops to capture Dongwu County. Langya Prime Minister Xiao Jian led his troops to attack, but was beaten to annihilation by him. Even Xiao Jian was killed by him. Later, this kid captured Langya and Qianzuo counties for three days, and now he has temporarily gained a foothold.
Next, he will inevitably enter the Beihai Kingdom... Tell me, is he powerful?"
Who is Xiao Jian?
Mrs. Chen is not particularly clear.
But she had heard of Lu Bu's name.
Even Lu Bu was defeated by Liu Chuang, wouldn’t that be very powerful?
Mrs. Chen's heart couldn't help but feel a little shaken...
"If so, it's a tiger general."
"But if he wants to defeat Beihai Kingdom, he will inevitably be enemies of the eldest son.
I was also in a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Am I helping him gain a foothold in Beihai Country? Or... I don't know what kind of character and temper this child is now. This also makes me not know what to do, so I feel a headache."
In his heart, Xun Chen had already determined that Liu Chuang was the son of Liu Tao.
Mrs. Chen and Xun Chen have been married for many years, so how can’t I hear the meaning of his words?
She sighed in her heart. Although she was still a little unsatisfied, she also knew that she could not persuade Xun Chen in such a thing.
"Since that's the case, then follow your husband's arrangement."
Xun Chen wandered in the house and said in a deep voice after a moment: "I guess, Pang Chuang may not know our relationship."
So for this matter... if he wants to return to his clan and recognize his ancestors, he will definitely go to Yuan Chang. After all, Yuan Chang and Zhongling Hou have such a relationship. Let's do this, send someone back to Yingchuan and find Yuan Chang to inquire about this matter. Then, I will try my best to stabilize the eldest son and ask the eldest son not to be hostile to him for the time being. However, I guess that since this kid dares to go north to Qingzhou, he will definitely have a trick and will never sit idly by.
Madam, look at it. The day when this kid enters Beihai Kingdom, it must be the time when Tian Kai and the eldest son go to war.
Let’s watch coldly for a while, to see how capable this kid is… How amazing is Zhongling Hou back then? Let’s see how his descendants are.”
Mrs. Chen felt very awkward when she heard this.
You are not sure that he is just Pang Chuang, but he looks like his father-in-law is scrutinizing his son-in-law. What is this?
However, when Xun Chen said this, Mrs. Chen knew that it would be useless to persuade him. It would be better if this kid had no means and ended up in a crushing defeat. It would be better if he could let his husband die... Even if he couldn't marry Xianfu, it would be better than him.
Looking at Xun Chen who was slightly excited, Mrs. Chen sighed in her heart, and at the same time, she couldn't help but curse herself secretly...
Before we knew it, it was already the twelfth lunar month.
Cao Cao sat in the Louxili in the back garden of Sikong Mansion, holding a volume of thirteen articles of grandson in his hand, reading with relish.
Next to the roller shutter of the water pavilion, a man with a sallow complexion and a magnificent figure was like a tiger. He held his arms and looked solemn.
"Junming, this is in my house, so there is no need to be so nervous."
Cao Cao read for a while, looked up at the big man and couldn't help but smile.
This great man is Dian Wei.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Dian Wei smiled, "Don't worry, lord, I'm competing with myself."
"Oh? How to compete?"
