Having an heir is naturally a great joy. Originally, Xun Chen and others were still holding back and only celebrated in a small area. But now that Fei Qian has come 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 mishaps during childbirth, so it is already a very exciting thing to have a child, not to mention the lack of personnel like Fei Qian.
Yes, that is simply the joy of the whole clan.
Although there are not many people in the Fei family now.
Fei Min's two posthumous sons also rushed to Pingyang Yamen and stood at the entrance of the Yamen, acting as greeters. This was naturally a major event for the Fei family, and Fei and Fei Yu naturally had to participate in the whole process. The two of them were in the concierge.
While taking a nap, although there was tea on the table, they did not dare to drink more, because they both knew that when the house was crowded with guests, they might not even have time to change clothes.
The weather today is sunny. Although you can see the sun looming, it is still very cold in this cold winter. Several servants are holding long poles and are knocking off all the ice that has condensed under the eaves of the courtyard of the mansion.
Next, the ice crackled and fell, and soon the servants swept it into the dustpan and carried it away.
The attendants and maids who came and went all changed into new clothes, and everyone was smiling. Even the housekeeper, who was usually the fiercest, had crooked eyebrows and a smile on her face.
Xun Chen came very early. As the chief steward of Pingyang, the fact that Fei Qian had an heir made Xun Chen even happier than having his own child, because it also meant that Fei Qian, the political group, had a child.
Official heir. Although it is still early to talk about inheritance, there is a lot of difference in the minds of the people of the Han Dynasty whether there is one or not.
Zao Zhi also came back with Fei Qian, and Zao Zhi also brought a large cart, a four-wheel cart. This four-wheel deconstruction adopts the load-bearing body of Huang's workshop, and the two front wheels can
Steering is provided, which greatly increases the transportation capacity, but it also requires a relatively flat and hard road surface. On rough roads, it is not as convenient as a two-wheeled vehicle.
"Is it open?" Zao Zhi saw Xun Chen and pointed to the four-wheel drive he brought parked at the gate of Zhengxi Mansion Yamen.
Xun Chen stroked his beard, nodded, and said: "Open it..."
The side panels of the cart were removed, revealing baskets of...
Vegetables and melons.
Jade-like vegetable leaves, white jade-like vegetable stems, and green courgettes were filled into bamboo baskets and placed neatly in the cart.
Even though it was not the first time that Xun Chen saw the scene in front of him, when he saw it again, he still couldn't help but take a breath and close his eyes before he regained his composure.
Not only Xun Chen, but also the servants who were cleaning at the side were stunned and almost missed the step and fell to the bottom of the stone steps...
Such a cart full of vegetables and fruits may not be a big deal to Fei Qian, but to the people of the Han Dynasty, who grew up in a world where pickles have always been a staple food in winter.
The shock level brought by these vegetables and fruits is not much less than that of a cart of gold, silver and jewelry.
The movement at the door alarmed Fei He and Fei Yu. When they came out and took a look, they couldn't help but froze...
"This, this...is this a real melon..." Fei Yu was younger and couldn't help but be tempted. He stood by the car and stared at the green-like emerald courgette, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He had been watching it since the beginning of winter.
There was no green color at all, either noodles or pickled meats and pickles. Suddenly seeing fresh goods, even Xun Chen, who was usually calm, was shaken, let alone Fei and Fei Yu, two half-year-old boys.
"Haha..." Xun Chen smiled, pointed at the courgette, and said, "Two worthy nephews, would you like to try it?"
"Can, is it okay?" After hearing the word "taste", Feihe couldn't help but start to salivate a lot.
Xun Chen nodded and said: "This is for today's banquet. It doesn't hurt to cut one first..." Xun Chen stepped forward and took a courgette at random, and then carefully divided the courgette into pieces in full view of everyone.
A few points.
As the courgette is cut, a sweet fragrance quietly spreads...
Fei He took a deep breath, and then looked at each other with Fei Yu, with a look of surprise on his face. This was really a courgette, and it was a fresh courgette! His saliva couldn't stop secreting out, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
When Xun Chen handed over the courgette, his words of thanks were a little vague...
After all, I haven't tasted this courgette for more than half a year. Now, right in front of my eyes, I can actually see a melon cut out, smell the sweet smell, and touch the fresh and moist substance. This feeling is really hard to use.
words to express...
"Try it." Zao Zhi said with a smile, and then threw a small piece of courgette into his mouth without any courtesy. He had naturally eaten this melon before, but now that he saw it, he still wanted to eat it.
"Click, click..."
The sweet and refreshing taste bloomed in the mouth. Fei and Fei Yu closed their eyes and experienced this sweet taste wholeheartedly. They were almost moved to tears.
But, how come these vegetables and fruits are available in this season?
Fei and Fei Yu just wanted to satisfy their appetites, but when the guests who came later saw the scene, they couldn't help exchanging surprised looks while swallowing their saliva.
Many of these guests who came to congratulate Fei Qian were also from landowning gentry backgrounds. Their families had many acres of farmland, so they knew very well what happened during 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..."
Immediately more mutterings came one after another.
Although due to the relationship between Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, auspiciousness has become a traditional repertoire in the Han Dynasty. In various places, some auspiciousness will be reported every now and then. For example, a unicorn is found somewhere, or a phoenix bird falls on a tree.
, there is purple energy rising everywhere, etc., there are all kinds of weird things.
Not to mention anything else, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, because the government of the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was actually not stable, the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was even more keen on such things. During this period, there were countless strange auspicious things reported from various places.
There are too many to mention…
But that kind of so-called auspiciousness is actually known to most gentry and gentry. They are not people who have never seen the world at all. Although they may not be able to say anything, it does not mean that they do not know that these are all fraudulent things. Some people want to borrow them.
It's just a chance invitation, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
But everything they see in front of them is subverting their ideas...
More and more guests gathered at the gate of Zhengxi Pingyang Mansion, admiring the big car. If there weren't guards on duty in front of the car, maybe someone would have taken action directly. Fei He and Fei Yu were the two people.
They were all a little embarrassed. They didn't know if it was time to roll their names to the guests who came to congratulate them.
"It can't be witchcraft, right?"
"Impossible, I cut one just now, it's true..."
"I heard from Xun Zhizhong that this car will be used for today's dinner!"
"Wow... If you say that, isn't it a blessing?"
"Have you heard? Zheng Xilin'er was named Zhen... Doesn't the word Zhen coincide with this..."
"The peach's yaoyao, its leaves are Zhenzhen...this...this is really auspicious..."
"If that's the case, this son, this son... tsk tsk, I'm afraid it's priceless..."
Even the cold winter wind could not suppress the wave of discussion among the people, and it quickly spread around Pingyang...
…………………………
Another trend is quietly spreading in Jizhou.
After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and strangled Gongsun's clan, he annexed Gongsun Zan's remaining soldiers 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, and each established a government and led the army.
Ju Shou objected, believing that dividing the princes was a recipe for disaster, but Yuan Shao insisted that each of the three princes occupy a state to observe their abilities. He insisted on his opinion and directly took advantage of the great victory to enfeoff the state without giving it to Jizhou.
People leave no chance.
This incident caused an uproar in Jizhou.
The powerful nobles of Jizhou followed Yuan Shao to fight life and death, and provided money, food and manpower. What was it for? Is it difficult for them to fight for their whole lives for the so-called Han Dynasty cause? The so-called successors to the Han Dynasty cause are all hooligans.
What's more, Yuan Shao did this without even giving any verbal expression...
Isn’t it too ugly to eat?
This is different from what was originally promised! It’s obviously the wrong version!
If the Han Dynasty has a three-guarantee policy and there is a consumer association, maybe the wealthy nobles in Jizhou will also be ready to take a seat on the hood...
Yuan Shao was quite convinced, saying that the three guarantees meant that if it was broken, it would not be repaired, if it was replaced, it would not be guaranteed to be the original factory, and if it was returned, it would not be refunded. If you have any objections, just go to the relevant departments. With military power in hand, the tall and round Yan Liangwen Chou stood up.
, glance around, who is in favor and who is against?
So many disciples of the Jizhou gentry clan, including Jushou, lowered their heads one after another, saying that you are the boss and you have the final say.
However, as he lowered his head, the fire that had been suppressed in his stomach was blown by the cold wind again, like sparks falling on the charcoal, and his eyes gradually turned red.
Why does the Yuan family eat meat in large quantities, while the people of Jizhou can't even take a few sips of soup?
The money was provided by the people of Jizhou, the grain was raised 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 stupid sons pounced on him and divided the meat one by one. Is there such a thing?
"... Yan Nanchui, Zhao Bei Shang. Yellow chrysanthemums fell, Zhuang He was desolate. Under the Zhang platform, the warehouse was full of bones. There was a magpie who lost his nest and perished... When I first heard this, I didn't take it seriously... I never thought about the consequences.
It's as he said..." Jushou sat on the table, raised the wine cup, drank it in a few sips, put it heavily on the table, and let out a long sigh, "Alas! The land of Yanzhao, north and south
Weeping in mourning!"
Tian Feng remained silent, just raised his wine cup and drank a drink with Ju Shou.
"Brother Yuan Hao! If you had known today, would you have regretted it before?!" Jushou was a little drunk and shouted, slapping the table. Jushou first followed Han Fu, and he also served as Han Fu's chariot when Yuan Shao took over.
When he was in Jizhou, he tried to dissuade Han Fu from knowing how to control the development of Yuan Shao's power. However, Han Fu did not listen to Ju Shao's advice.
As for Tian Feng, he didn't have any dealings with Han Fu at that time, so when Yuan Shao came to Jizhou, he basically hit it off with Yuan Shao. Then Yuan Shao visited Tian Feng with great fanfare, which gave Tian Feng enough face and put on a good show.
With the appearance of deputy corporal Li Xian, Tian Feng naturally reciprocated the favor, and the subsequent matchmaking eventually led to Han Fu's downfall.
"My lord, you are drunk!" Tian Feng said with a serious face, "Come here, help Ju get some rest..." No matter how good-tempered Tian Feng was, it was a bit unbearable to be scolded by Ju Shou, who almost pointed his nose at him.
Several servants came over and bowed to Jusuke first, then went up and carried Jusuke to the guest room. Jusuke was in a daze and muttered something from time to time, but these servants acted as if they couldn't hear them, or maybe they heard them.
He also pretended not to hear.
Tian Feng watched Jushu being carried down and was silent for a long time. Then he waved to his confidant who was standing in the hall with his hands down, stretched his head and whispered a few words...
The confidant understood, bowed his head and accepted the order and left.
The cold wind brought snowflakes rolling down, blocking the sight, and seemed to begin to block the human heart.
In Yecheng, Jizhou, Guo Tu met with Yuan Shao and reported: "I have heard this ballad being sung in the countryside recently, and many of it have the intention of slandering my lord... I am afraid it was instigated by someone..."
Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Who do you think Gongze did?"
Guo Tu smiled, his smile was somewhat sinister, and he raised his hands and said, "Tu has never heard of it. But... Tu privately believes that this rumor is widely spread, and whoever can benefit from it is the one who did it..."
"Who benefits from it?" Yuan Shao murmured again, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Does Gong Ze have a good plan?"
"This..." Guo Tu hesitated.
Yuan Shao understood and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, stand down! 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 immediately responded loudly, and then the sound of clanging iron pieces gradually faded away.
"The public principle can be clearly stated..." Yuan Shao lowered his voice.
"Lord..." Guo Tugong cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "This...if you say this...wouldn't it ruin the friendship between colleagues...I dare not say it..." Although he said so, Guo Tu
He quickly glanced at Yuan Shao's face, and then continued, "But since the Lord is asking... Tu can only speak frankly..."
"Reporting to my lord," Guo Tu said in a low voice, "Tu once heard that Orion feeds dogs and hunts animals in the mountains, but there is no flesh and blood. The dogs want to bite back, so they hit their waists, cut off their claws and teeth, and the dogs were ensconced..."
"Hit his waist and cut off his claws and teeth?" Yuan Shao repeated, thoughtfully.
