The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 83
The Zhen family is one of the most wealthy and powerful in Hebei and even the Han Dynasty, the head of the family has a wide range of knowledge and knows the priorities of things.

Just like "Yuan She is here", the Patriarch of the Zhen family's reaction was extremely quick.

On the morning of the second day, while still asleep, the Patriarch of the Zhen family sent someone to send a greeting card.

Cheng Yuanzhi got up slowly to freshen up, followed the shopkeeper of the restaurant to a private room.

Su Gai and Cai Yan got up early, and they followed behind, eavesdropping openly outside the door.

"Young Master Yuan, I am very polite."

In the room, a beautiful woman about 30 years old, and a young man of thirteen or fourteen, saluted respectfully.

The characteristic of a beautiful woman is that she has a big breast, which is a bit exaggerated; the characteristic of a boy is tender, so tender that men and women are not distinguished.

Cheng Yuanzhi rubbed his temples for a long time before he realized that the strange lineup of girls and boys in front of him was real, and that the Zhen family indeed had no males.

The little kid in front of him should be Zhen Yan, the second son of the Zhen family.

At such a young age, it is really not easy to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family.

Zhen Yi was born in 156 and died in 186 at the age of 31.That is to say, he died shortly after his picture was sent out.

Zhen Yi married the Zhang family in Changshan at the age of 16, and had three sons and five daughters: the eldest son Zhen Yu died early; the second Zhen Yan and the second Zhen Yao.The eldest daughters are Zhen Jiang, Ci Zhentuo, Ci Zhendao, Ci Zhenrong, and Ci Zhenmi.

The youngest, Zhen Mi, was born in 183 and is about 6 years old this year.That is to say, his mother Zhang gave birth to eight sons in 12 years.

Too hard. Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the Zhang family who was still beautiful and charming. He was full of admiration and thought to himself: This will be left to future generations. Zhang family who gave birth to so many children will be awarded a certificate by the government. ah.

Well, maybe the furniture will be stripped by the government, which is hard to say.

It depends on when.

"Madam, you don't need to be too polite. You and I are of the same generation, so please be more casual."

Mrs. Zhang took a look at Cheng Yuanzhi, and asked carefully, "Dare to ask Mr. Guigeng?"

"Seven out of twenty."

"Have you ever been married?"

"Never."

The chat got stuck here.

Mrs. Zhang was just asking casually. She never expected that the Yuan family's children were 27 years old and still unmarried.

Immediately I lost my voice.

She does have five daughters, but the eldest daughter is only 12 years old and the younger daughter is only 6 years old, which is almost impossible to repeat.

It can't be said that she promised herself to the other party.

Having said that, it seems that it is not impossible.

Mr. Yuan is 27 years old and still unmarried. She is 30 years old and widowed. There is only a three-year difference between the two, and the female junior is holding a gold brick...

Mrs. Zhang suddenly thought about it.

She couldn't help thinking about the current situation.

Back when her husband Zhen Yi was still there, this guy across from him had repeatedly targeted the Zhen family, and he didn't know what grudges he had.

But the reason is not difficult to guess. The status of the merchant is low. No matter who comes, they will probably get what they want.

Although the Zhen family has a backing in Jizhou, their ancestors were high-ranking officials, and when Zhen Yi was around, he even became a cailing, but they are still merchants.

Inevitably there will be wind and rain.

Generally speaking, in the past, the Zhen family had more than enough protection for themselves in Jizhou.Now, it's stormy.

Since the death of her husband, the wind and rain have been severe.If you don't find a new backer, the family business will be swallowed up sooner or later.

For the Zhen family, the importance of backing came first.

And the Yuan family with four generations and three masters, a family of three masters, is the perfect backer in this turbulent world.

As for the robbery of food before, the Zhang family has long since ignored it. The Zhen family has a big business, and the food is just a drizzle.At this time, what she was thinking about was how to establish a relationship with the Yuan family, and then rely on the Yuan family to protect the safety of the whole family.

It's a pity that she has eight children, and she will definitely look down on her...

otherwise……

Thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang said eloquently, "I wonder if Mr. Yuan would show his respect and move to Wuji's humble house to tell the story?"

Being in a restaurant is indeed not a place for chatting and friendship. Anyway, let's invite people to Wuji County first.

Mrs. Zhang secretly made up her mind that she must make friends with the person in front of her.

There was only one reason why she was so eager—Jizhou Mu Han Fu was a student of the Yuan family, and Jizhou was already within the Yuan family's sphere of influence.

If they can't get along with the Yuan family, it will be hard to say whether they will be rich or poor in the future.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw "Yuan She"'s eyes brightened with anticipation.

"Great! Respect is worse than obedience, madam, let's go now!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone inside and outside the house reacted differently.

Outside the house, Sugai nodded slightly, and said in his heart, "That's right, this is the style of a handsome man, who likes to sneak into women."

Cai Yan snorted coldly, turned her head away, her red lips pursed up.

Inside the house, Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat.

Oops, I'm not going to lure wolves into the house, and be eaten by everyone... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, she had already spoken, so she had to bite the bullet and walk forward.

The two parties immediately left the restaurant, Cheng Yuanzhi and his three rode on horses, Mrs. Zhang took her second son in a car, and they went to Wuji County together.

On the way, Mrs. Zhang opened the curtain and said in a low voice:

"Young master, if you have any difficulties, just ask about money and food."

"Difficulties? No!" Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head without thinking.

Now he is neither short of money nor food.

"If the young master falls in love with the little girl, it would be a great honor for me to be old, but Jiang'er is only 12 years old, can I spend a few years in the evening..."

Cheng Yuanzhi immediately waved his hand to interrupt her nonsense: "Madam, don't worry, I'm just going to visit the house, so I won't disturb your daughter."

Mrs. Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, and gave Cheng Yuanzhi a grateful glance.

Although reason told her that a word the other party said was not credible.But at this moment, the only choice is to believe that the other party's words are true.

Otherwise, it is really leading the wolf into the house.

The other party should not be so beastly, and should not be able to take all big and small... Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt uneasy again, and became worried about gain and loss.

After a while, she shook her head lightly, and put her worries behind her. It doesn't matter who the other party is at this moment.

The important thing is how to get on this big tree with the least cost.

It would be great if it could be solved with money - anything that can be solved with money is not a problem for the Zhen family.

No more words along the way.

In the afternoon, a group of people rushed to Wuji Zhen's house, and Cheng Yuanzhi was welcomed in grandly.

The grandeur and grandeur of the reception made his eyelids twitch, and he wondered: "Why is Madam so grand? Could it be for outsiders to see?"

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, shook her head and smiled wryly.

This is really true, this is what she originally planned.

As long as the news that Mr. Yuan's family is visiting the mansion is spread, the persecution from the officialdom will instantly disappear without a trace.

As for the secret threat, it is natural for the government to solve it.

If the government can't solve it, it will be handed over to Zhen's private soldiers.

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "For the sake of the family's safety, this old man has no other choice. Please don't blame me, sir. If you have any request, just say it..."

Anyone who has not entered the door will be counted first, and his face will be unsightly.

Cheng Yuanzhi felt that his face must have turned dark, but he still pretended to be magnanimous and waved his hands.

At this moment, he almost understood the situation of the Zhen family.

The surface is beautiful, but secretly, it is missed and spied on by many people.

A gentleman is innocent, but he is guilty of a jade.Especially when the head of the Zhen family is dead and only the young children and widows are left.

Such a big business, so much wealth, such a weak personnel structure...

A thoughtful force can take away all the wealth of the Zhen family with just a single blow.


Mrs. Zhang said happily: "Thank you for your generosity, son. I am tired from the journey. Please go to the guest room to rest."

Cheng Yuanzhi hummed, followed the guide to an extremely luxuriously decorated room.

Guqin, ancient paintings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, exquisite sabers, everything is available.

Not long after sitting down, I saw a dozen or so slender, delicate-looking maids walking in with wine and dishes, knelt down on one knee towards Cheng Yuanzhi, and softly said: "See you, my lord."

Su Gai waved his hand, and today they put down their food and retreated, then turned around and asked, "Marshal, what shall we do next?"

"Stay at ease, and wait for someone to send you your wife."

"How many...how many?"

"How many do you want?"

"Marshal, I think the dozen or so just now are pretty good."

"That's a dozen or so!"

Su Gai bowed his head and thought about it silently in his heart, and thought it was a good deal, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Marshal."

At the age of 16, you know so much, you need so much... Sugai's development is a bit early! Cheng Yuanzhi sighed silently in his heart, and decided to persuade him.

"Soon, do you know how Patriarch Zhen died?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Su Gai, but even Cai Yan, who was pretending to be transparent, pricked up his ears.

"How did you die?" Sugai asked subconsciously.

"He got married at the age of 16, gave birth to eight children in 12 years, and died at the age of 30."

so scary?
Sugai scratched his head: "Marshal, isn't childbirth a woman's business?"

Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at him angrily: "Superficial! Can a woman survive alone? Men don't have to work hard day and night?"

"By the way, Your Majesty, you know, he is 32 years old, and he was married at the age of 15."

Su Gai nodded, he knew that Liu Hong was about to die.

"From ancient times to the present, if a man and a woman get married at or before the age of 16, the man will probably not live to be thirty..."

"As the saying goes, wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and color is a steel knife that scrapes bones. My dear, I advise you to think carefully for the sake of your life!"

Hearing this, Sugai hesitated for a while, with a look of unwillingness on his face: "Marshal, I don't want any of these women anymore."

"That's right!"

"Women only affect your life span!"

Sugai hummed his head and stepped back.

Only Cheng Yuanzhi and Cai Yan were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous...

Cheng Yuanzhi squeezed Cai Yan's Qianqian little hand with a smile, with the sincerity of a big bad wolf on his face: "Yan'er, it's getting late, let's rest too."

Cai Yan's face turned pale, she hurriedly pulled her hand away, and shook her head desperately: "Yuan Lang, I'm not yet 16, don't..."

After that, like a frightened rabbit, he twisted his waist and ran away.

Cheng Yuanzhi was stunned, suddenly felt as if he picked up a stone and hit his foot...

Mistake!
