"Why do I think she looks like your daughter? Do you want me to bring Concubine Tang back? If you can control her, I can bring her back." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"..." Jia Xu didn't say anything and drove away directly without giving Chen Xi any face.
"Jia Wenhe, you are really good..." Chen Xi looked at Jia Xu who was riding away speechlessly, showing no face at all. This was too much, "Forget it, ignore this guy, I still want to go to Zhen's house."
After leaving Cai Yan's place, we turned a few streets and arrived at Zhen's house. This is the new residence of the Zhen family in Yecheng. It was indeed rude for Chen Xi to come empty-handed, but the sharp-eyed guard at the door quickly greeted Chen Xi after seeing him.
The other one also quickly went to notify the owner.
"Marquis Chen, please come in, the master of the family will be here soon." The guard of the Zhen family said respectfully.
"Has Mi'er moved back recently?" Chen Xi asked as he walked in.
"The eldest lady moved back not long ago." After the guard sent Chen Xi through the door, he stood where he was. There were already welcome guests inside leading Chen Xi in.
Soon Zhen Yan came to greet Chen Xi wearing the clothes of the head of the family. Now Zhen Yan has fully taken over the Zhen family. The friendship between the Zhang family and the Zhen family is still there, so when Zhen Yan took over, Liu Bei helped a lot.
The family changed its owner without any surprises.
However, Chen Xi could see that the head of the family, Zhen Yan, still lacked a lot of knowledge. To put it simply, he was pushed to the top. Now the Zhen family is completely spending money to cultivate the head of the family. Fortunately, Zhen Yan also worked hard and became successful.
If you don't have to be a genius, you can still be a conservative head of the family.
"I've met Marquis Chen." Zhen Yan gave a respectful salute. Compared with before, he was more majestic than the heads of some wealthy families. However, the wry smile when he stood up still betrayed his mood.
"Why, you are not happy to be the head of the family?" Chen Xi returned the gift and said with a smile, "I have taken the liberty to come here, please forgive me Boyao."
"Marquis Chen is here, what can I forgive you for? As for me, to be honest, I really don't want to be the head of the house now. I used to envy my aunt how easy it was to be the head of the house. Now that I think about it, I was really ignorant at the time."
Zhen Yan said with a wry smile.
"How many people want to be the head of the house but can't get it? Just do it well and get used to it." Chen Xi could also see that half of Zhen Yan's words were sincere. Let a guy who only spent money and didn't care about making money in the past, now
It would be strange if I wasn't tired of taking care of the lives of a large family.
"Thank you for your kindness, please. Someone from my sister's side informed me that she will be here shortly." Zhen Yan made a gesture of invitation and personally led Chen Xi into the main hall.
"Zichuan~" Chen Xi drank a cup of tea and chatted with Zhen Yan about some trivial matters. At this time, Zhen Mi rushed over.
"Sister, you came too soon. As soon as you came as a brother, you had to go to the study and continue to learn how to deal with family affairs with the elders." Zhen Yan said with a sad face, but the smile in his eyebrows betrayed his current mood.
After Zhen Yan finished speaking, she cupped her hands towards Chen Xi and said, "Chen Hou, Yan is indeed involved in worldly matters, please forgive me."
How could Chen Xi not understand what Zhen Yan meant? He smiled, and then Zhen Yan left.
"Brother, it's true." Zhen Mi pouted and said dissatisfiedly after watching Zhen Yan leave.
"It's good." Chen Xi said with a smile, "I plan to go back to my hometown in Yingchuan. Both Jian'er and Lan'er will go. Will you go?"
"Hometown of Yingchuan." Zhen Mi's eyes lit up, "I'll go."
"Then pack your things quickly, we may leave in a while." Chen Xi said with a smile, and Zhen Mi's expression suddenly collapsed.
"Why did you tell me so late? You didn't inform me until you were about to leave. Did you forget?" Zhen Mi asked two questions in succession.
"How is it possible?" Chen Xi said with an upright face, "How could I have forgotten you, made the decision in the afternoon, and came to see you so soon, while the house was just packing things."
"Oh." Zhen Mi replied noncommittally, "Do you want to bring something for sacrifice?"
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhen Mi dumbfounded, "You don't think I'm going back to Yingchuan specifically, do you?"
"Don't you want to go back to your hometown to pay homage to your uncle and aunt?" Zhen Mi asked.
"Well, I was just passing through there. My hometown happens to be there, so I might as well go back and have a look." Chen Xi nodded and replied, "The main reason is to be wary of Cao Cao in Wancheng."
"Well..." Zhen Mi was a little disappointed, but she still said, "Zichuan and I will pack our things together. I have prepared clothes and other things. We will pick up Sister Jian'er and the others later."
Chen Xi reluctantly rejected the proposal. As for the clothes, Zhen Mi could just bring them with her. It wasn't a big problem.
Zhen Mi glanced at Chen Xi without saying anything else, "Then you'll pick me up later."
This time it was not a question at all, but an order. Chen Xi nodded. If Zhen Mi didn't say anything, Chen Xi would do it.
Not long after Chen Xi returned home, Hua Xiong brought a group of people to the door of Chen Xi's house. It is said that Hua Xiong was next door to Chen Xi's house when he was in Taishan, and they were also next door to Yecheng. However, because the courtyards of both sides were very close,
It's big, so it seems far away.
"Zijian, you're here so soon." Chen Xi asked with a surprised look on his face.
"I have already reported to the lord and handed over some military affairs with Zhongming. However, when I went there, Jia Shangshu and the military advisor were both at the lord's place. It seemed that something big had happened." Hua Xiong did not hide anything he had seen before.
"Well, Xianbei has entered the trial." Chen Xi sighed and said helplessly, "I feel that civil servants sometimes lack a bit of blood. What would you do if Zijian were you?"
"Kill!" Hua Xiong had no extra words at all. For a man like this who really lives in a border county, he would only use this word to deal with the invading barbarians.
"What about you?" Chen Xi continued to ask.
"Kill!" Hua Xiong said without changing his expression. "In the first year of Zhongping, Bian Zhang rebelled and had more than 100,000 troops. His strength was ten times that of Prime Minister Dong. We defeated him head-on and pursued him to Jincheng!"
"The military advisor once told us not to think too much before fighting. If we won't lose before, we won't lose in the future either!" Hua Xiong rarely showed a look of disdain for the world. The performance of the Xiliang Army is always impressive.
It's so scary, and there are very few recorded defeats.
"Okay, you are really good." Chen Xi nodded.
"From this, I don't understand even more. No matter how you look at it, there are problems with Shen Pei's manipulation of Xianbei. Shen Zhengnan is not a simple character." Chen Xi seemed to be talking to himself, as if to confirm his guess.
.
"But I still don't understand. Forget it, forget it. Let Wen and the others go away from the headache." Chen Xi said with a headache, "Zijian, come with me. I'm being rude if I keep you standing outside the door."
