Chapter 1362 Trend
With an heir, it is naturally a great joy. Originally, Xun Chen and others held back and just celebrated on a small scale, but since Fei Qian came to Pingyang in person, it is reasonable to hold a grand celebration .
In this era, due to the constraints of medical conditions, too many women have encountered accidents during childbirth, so it is already a very exciting thing to be able to have children, not to mention the thin staff like Fei Qian. Yes, that is simply the joy of the whole family.
Although there are not many people in Fiji now.
Fei Min''s two posthumous sons also rushed to the Pingyang government office, and stood at the gate of the government office, acting as welcome guests. This is naturally a major event for Fei''s family. Fei and Fei Yu naturally need to participate in the whole process. The two of them were taking a nap in the porter''s room. Although there was tea on the table, they didn''t dare to drink too much, because both of them knew that when the guests arrived, there might not even be time to change their clothes.
Today''s weather is fine, although the sun can be seen looming, but in this cold winter, it is still extremely cold. Several servants were holding long poles, and were knocking down all the ice edges that had condensed under the eaves of the mansion courtyard. The ice edge fell down with a crackling sound, and soon some servants swept it into the dustpan and carried it away.
The servants and servants who came and went had all changed into new clothes, and everyone was smiling. Even the fiercest woman in charge had crooked eyebrows and a smile all over her face.
Xun Chen came very early. As the chief steward of Pingyang, the fact that Fei Qian had an heir made Xun Chen happier than having his own child, because it also represented that Fei Qian, a political group, had a son. official heir. Although it is still early to talk about inheritance, whether there is or is not, there is a lot of difference in the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty.
Zaozhi also came back with Fei Qian, and Zaoyi also brought a big cart, a four-wheeled cart. This kind of four-wheel deconstruction adopts the load-bearing body of Huang''s workshop. The two front wheels can provide steering, which greatly improves the transportation capacity, but also requires a relatively flat and hard road surface. On rough roads, Not as convenient as a two-wheeled vehicle.
"Open it?" Zaozhi saw Xun Chen, and pointed to the four-wheeled cart he had brought and parked at the gate of the Zhengxi government office.
Xun Chen stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "Open it..."
The side panels of the cart were removed, revealing the baskets of…
Vegetables, fruits and melons.
Emerald-like vegetable leaves, white jade-like vegetable stalks, and green courgettes are filled with bamboo baskets, neatly placed in the cart.
Even though it was not the first time for Xun Chen to see the scene in front of him, when he saw it again, he still couldn''t help but take a breath, close his eyes, and regain his composure.
Not only Xun Chen, but even the servants who were sweeping by the side stared blankly, and almost fell to the bottom of the stone steps with one foot...
Such a cart full of vegetables and fruits may not be a big deal for Fei Qian, but for the people of the Han Dynasty, who grew up in the world of pickled vegetables in winter forever, The degree of shock brought by these vegetables and fruits will not be much less than a cart of gold, silver and jewelry.
The movement at the door alarmed Fei He and Fei Yu, and when the two came out to take a look, they couldn''t help but be stunned...
"This, this... Is this a real melon..." Fei Yu was younger and couldn''t help being tempted. He stood beside the car and stared at the emerald-green courgette, and swallowed with a gurgling saliva. Since the beginning of winter, I haven''t seen any green color, either noodle cakes or bacon and pickles. Suddenly seeing fresh goods, even Xun Chen, who is usually calm, is shaken, not to mention the two half-grown Fei and Feiyu. kid.
"Hehe..." Xun Chen smiled, pointed to courgettes, and said, "You two nephews, do you want to have a taste?"
"Yes, is it possible?" Feihe couldn''t help salivating profusely after hearing the words.
Xun Chen nodded, and said, "This thing is for today''s banquet, it doesn''t matter if you cut one first..." Xun Chen stepped forward and took a courgette at random, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he really divided the courgette into pieces. a bit.
Accompanied by the cutting of the courgette, a sweet fragrance diffused quietly...
Feihe took a deep breath, then exchanged a look with Feiyu, with a look of surprise that couldn''t be hidden on his face. This is really courgette, and fresh courgette at that! The saliva couldn''t stop secreting, and even the thank you when Xun Chen handed the courgette was a little vague...
After all, I haven''t tasted this courgette for more than half a year. Right now, I can see a melon cut out, smell the sweet smell, and touch the fresh and moist real thing. This feeling is really hard to use. words to express…
"Try it." Zaozhi smiled from the side, and then threw a small piece of courgette into his mouth. Of course he had eaten this melon, but now that he saw it, he still wanted to eat it.
"Crack, click..."
The sweet and refreshing taste bloomed in the mouth. Fei and Fei Yu closed their eyes and tried to experience this sweet taste wholeheartedly. They were almost moved to tears.
It''s just, how can there be these vegetables and fruits in this season?
Fei and Fei Yu were just trying to satisfy their appetites, but the guests who came behind saw the current scene, and when they swallowed their saliva, they couldn''t help exchanging surprised looks.
These guests who came to congratulate Fei Qian, many of them were also landlords and gentry, and there were many acres of fields and crops in their families. They couldn''t be more clear about this farming season.
"This... this is auspicious..."
I don''t know who shouted in a low voice among the crowd.
"It''s really... really auspicious..."
Soon there were more mutterings.
Although the auspiciousness of the Han Dynasty has become a traditional repertoire due to the relationship between Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, in various places, a little bit of auspiciousness will always be reported every now and then, for example, where a unicorn is found, and where a phoenix bird falls on a tree. , where there is purple air rising, etc., there are all kinds of weird things.
Among other things, during the period of Emperor Hanling alone, because Emperor Hanling''s government was not stable, Emperor Hanling was more enthusiastic about such things. During the period, there were countless strange auspicious signs reported from various places. too many to list...
But the so-called auspiciousness, in fact, most of the gentry and country gentry know that they are not people who have never seen the world at all. Although they may not be able to make a sound, it does not mean that they do not know that those are all fraudulent things. It''s just an opportunity to invite pets, just listen to it, don''t take it seriously.
But everything in front of them is subverting their concepts...
More and more guests gathered at the gate of Zhengxi Pingyang Mansion Yamen, admiring around the cart. If there were not guards on duty in front of the cart, some people might have started directly. It made Feihe and Feiyu a little embarrassed, wondering if they should call the congratulatory guests now.
"It can''t be witchcraft, right?"
"Impossible, I cut one just now, it''s true..."
"I heard from Xun Zhizhong that this cart will be used for today''s dinner!"
"Wow... In this way, isn''t it a blessing?"
"Have you heard? Zheng Xilin''er was named Zhen... Doesn''t the word Zhen coincide with this matter..."
"Tao Zhiyaoyao, Ye Zhenzhen... this... this is really auspicious..."
"If so, this son, this son... tsk tsk, I''m afraid it''s too expensive..."
The wave of public discussion, even the cold winter wind could not suppress it, quickly spread around Pingyang...
………………
Another trend is quietly rolling up in Jizhou.
After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and strangled Gongsun''s family, he annexed the remaining soldiers of Gongsun Zan and divided them between his eldest son Yuan Tan and his second son Yuan Xi.
At the same time, Yuan Shao appointed Yuan Tan as the governor of Qingzhou, and his second son Yuan Xi as the governor of Youzhou.
Ju Shou objected, thinking that the separation of the sons was the way to bring disaster, but Yuan Shao insisted that each of the three sons occupy a state to observe their abilities, and insisted on directly relying on the momentum of the great victory to complete the enfeoffment without giving Jizhou People leave nothing to chance.
This incident caused an uproar in Jizhou.
Jizhou gentry, Haoyou, followed Yuan Shao to fight life and death, paying money, food and manpower, for what? Is it difficult to fight for the so-called great man''s career for life? As the saying goes, the successors of the big man''s career are all hooligans, not to mention that Yuan Shao didn''t even show any verbal expression...
Is it too ugly to eat?
Paralyzed, this is different from what was originally agreed! Obviously it''s the wrong version!
If the big man has a three-guarantee policy, there is a consumer association, maybe the gentry Haoyou in Jizhou is also planning to sit on the hood...
Yuan Shao is very determined, saying that the three guarantees are broken but not repaired, replaced by the original factory, not refunded, if you have an opinion, go to the relevant department, the military power is in hand, and Yan Liangwenchou, who is big and waisted, stood up. , glance around, who is for and who is against?
So many Jizhou gentry disciples, including Jushou, lowered their heads one after another, saying that you are a big boss and you have the final say.
However, bowing your head and bowing your head, the fire that was suffocating in your stomach was blown by the dark wind again, just like sparks fell on the charcoal, and gradually your eyeballs turned red.
Why does the Yuan family eat meat so much that the people of Jizhou can''t even drink a few mouthfuls of soup?
The people of Jizhou paid the money, the food was grown by the people of Jizhou, and the soldiers were saved by the people of Jizhou. Well, now that we have defeated Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao’s two idiotic sons rushed forward, and each of them split up the meat. Is there such a thing for fun?
"...Yan Nan hangs down, Zhao Beishang. Yellow chrysanthemums fall, Zhuanghe is desolate. Zhangtai is full of bones. There are Wei magpies, lost their nests and died... I heard this for the first time, and I didn''t take it for the truth...I never thought about it, but it was true. ..." Ju Shou sat on the table, held up the wine bar, gulped down a few gulps, put it heavily on the table, and let out a long sigh, "Alas! The land of Yanzhao, the north and the south hang down!"
Tian Feng remained silent, but raised his wine bar and drank a glass with Jushou.
"Brother Yuan Hao! If you know today, will you regret the past?!" Ju Shou was a little drunk, and shouted, patting the table. Jushou was the first to follow Han Fu, and he also served as Han Fu''s part-timer. When Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, he dissuaded Han Fu from knowing how to control the development of Yuan Shao''s power. As a result, Han Fu did not follow Jushou''s advice.
As for Tian Feng, he didn''t deal with Han Fu at that time, so when Yuan Shao came to Jizhou, he basically hit it off with Yuan Shao, and then Yuan Shao visited Tian Feng with great fanfare, which gave Tian Feng enough face and put on a The appearance of a corporal of vice Lixian, then Tian Feng naturally reciprocated, and followed up with matchmaking, which eventually led to Han Fu''s downfall.
"Gongyu, you are drunk!" Tian Feng said with a downcast face, "Come here, help Ju to take a rest..." No matter how good Tian Feng is, being scolded by Ju Shou almost pointing at his nose like this is a bit unbearable.
A few servants approached, first bowed to Jushou, then went up to carry Jushou and went to the guest room. Jushou was in a daze, mumbling something from time to time, but these servants acted as if they couldn''t hear them, or pretended not to hear them.
Tian Feng watched Jushou being carried down, and was silent for a long time, then waved to his confidant who was standing with his hands down in the hall, and stretched his head to whisper a few words...
The confidant knew it, bowed his head and took the order and left.
The cold wind brought snowflakes rolling down, covering the sight, and it seemed to begin to cover the hearts of the people.
In Yecheng, Jizhou, Guo Tu paid a visit to Yuan Shao, and reported: "Recently, I heard that this rumor was sung in the countryside, and most of it had the intention of slandering the lord... I am afraid that someone ordered it..."
Yuan Shao frowned, and said, "Who do you think did this?"
Guo Tu smiled, with a slightly sinister smile, cupped his hands and said, "Tu didn''t know about it. But...Tu privately thinks that this rumor is widely sung, and whoever can benefit from it is the one who did it..."
"Who will benefit from it?" Yuan Shao murmured and repeated, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Do you have a good strategy?"
"This..." Guo Tu hesitated.
Yuan Shao understood, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stand back! Anyone within twenty steps of the hall who intends to eavesdrop without orders will be killed without mercy!"
"Wei!" The armored men guarding the hall responded loudly immediately, and then the clanging of iron pieces gradually faded away.
"You can say it clearly..." Yuan Shao lowered his voice.
"My lord..." Guo Tugong cupped his hands, and said in a low voice, "This...if you say this...wouldn''t it ruin the friendship of colleagues...Tu really dare not say it..." Although he said so, Guo Tu took a quick glance Yuan Shao''s face changed, and he continued, "But since the lord is asking... I can only speak bluntly..."
"Hmm... Please tell me the public..." Yuan Shao''s face turned pale.
"My lord," Guo Tu said in a low voice, "Tu Zeng heard that Orion raises dogs and catches animals in the mountains without flesh and blood. If the dog wants to bite back, it hits its waist and breaks its claws and teeth. The dog is at peace..."
"Hit his waist, break his minions?" Yuan Shao repeated, thoughtful.
