When the Heavenly Eye Technique was activated, a different scene appeared in Yuan Shu's eyes. A pillar of smoke appeared above everyone's heads, but the thickness and color were different.
The plumes of smoke above the heads of ordinary domestic servants and maids tend to be colorless and only as thick as chopsticks.
The stewards further up are a bit stronger, the smoke column is as thick as the mouth of a bowl and its color changes to green.
The color of the chief steward has changed to green with clear blue, while the color of the chief steward at home has been upgraded to pure blue.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu already roughly understood the meaning of the smoke column. The stronger a person's ability, the thicker the smoke column, the different potentials, and the different colors of the smoke column.
But there are exceptions to this, and that is his personal maid Linglong.
The smoke column above her head turned out to be green with a hint of blue, and the thickness of the smoke column was about the size of a water tank, which meant that Linglong's potential and abilities were higher than those of the family's chief steward.
With everything clear to his chest, Yuan Shu aimed his gaze at the three people in the middle.
The person sitting at the top is the current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Feng, the great minister of the dynasty.
The smoke column above Yuan Feng's head is at least three meters wide, which is what the ancients said is one foot, and its color is also blue with a hint of purple.
The person on Yuan Feng's left was a handsome young man. The smoke column above his head was blue and only about two meters thick, but it was pretty good. It was obvious that he was his elder brother Yuan Ji.
Finally, he set his sights on Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who were destined to be his enemies.
"hiss"
Yuan Shao's smoke pillar was simply too powerful, nearly ten meters thick, and its color was also a gleaming deep purple, with a hint of brilliant gold in the deep purple.
"Father."
Looking at his cheap father, Yuan Shu felt a little grudge, but he still bowed his head to the end.
"Um?"
Seeing Yuan Shu like this, the three of them were all surprised and suspicious, because Yuan Shu would never be like this in the past. He just handed over his hand and it was over, and he was rarely so respectful.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Is it because your head fell down last time and it's still not healed?"
Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu were direct brothers, so they were the closest to each other. Seeing Yuan Shu acting abnormally, he quickly asked.
"Thank you for your concern, brother, I'm fine."
Yuan Shu bowed to Yuan Ji.
"It's Gongdao's birthday in a few days, what have you prepared?"
Although he was a little confused, Yuan Feng didn't care too much. As long as Yuan Shu was fine, he turned to ask a few people.
"Brother, someone gave me some beauties. I don't like them anyway, so why don't I give them to you as a token of my gratitude."
Yuan Shao also liked him, but Yuan Shu was naughty and liked the company of beautiful girls the most.
He specially found someone to buy a few passing ones from outside, just to give them to Yuan Shu. The fundamental purpose was to show him how bad Yuan Shu was.
"Thank you, second brother. I would rather be respectful than obey my orders."
Yuan Shu frowned. As a modern man who has experienced the bloody turmoil in the workplace, he naturally saw Yuan Shao's intentions at a glance, but it didn't matter, his heart was not on Yuan Shao at all.
"Okay, okay, I will send someone to your house later."
"Brother?"
"Haha, how could I forget my little brother's birthday? Haven't you already fallen in love with that village outside the city?"
Yuan Ji took out a land deed from his arms with a smile and handed it to Yuan Shu.
"Thank you bro~"
This gift from Yuan Ji is not cheap. According to Yuan Shu's memory, the house covers an area of more than ten acres and is worth at least ten thousand gold according to the market price. It would be good for him to sell it and use it as military supplies.
"Father, what gift have you prepared for me?"
The two brothers have finished delivering, and now it’s time for me to take advantage of myself.
"What does my son want?"
Yuan Feng was in a good mood today. Although the things Yuan Shao and Yuan Ji gave to Yuan Shu were not to his taste, it didn't matter. As long as Yuan Shu was fine, everything would be fine.
"Father, the child wants to leave Luoyang and live somewhere else."
Yuan Shu's words made everyone stunned.
"Leave Luoyang? Place somewhere else? Brother, are you okay?"
Yuan Ji quickly asked.
Yuan Shao frowned when he looked at Yuan Shu. Both of them served in the palace of General He Jin, and their future success was just around the corner. What did it mean for Yuan Shu to leave now?
"Highway? I want you to give me a reason."
Yuan Feng also frowned.
Luoyang is the center of the world, and the forces from all sides are surging and will cause huge waves at any time. No force wants to and cannot miss it.
The fourth and third sons of the Yuan family were prominent in the world, and Yuan Shu was honored as the direct son of the Yuan family. Naturally, Yuan Feng did not want his son to leave now.
"Father, my son has ambitions all over the world and doesn't want to waste time in Luoyang. You and your two brothers are here to take charge. It doesn't matter if you are missing one of me. Besides, I can also take care of the Yuan family here, right?"
Yuan Shu's words made everyone stunned.
The Yuan family is famous in the world, and the Yuan family, including the head of the family, Yuan Feng, never thought that something unexpected would happen.
Because they are not afraid of any challenge, even the Shi Changshi and the General are treated as honored guests, otherwise Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would not be able to thrive in Luoyang.
"Little brother, you are worrying too much. Why should we, the Yuan family, be afraid of others?"
Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Shu with a smile, as if he was joking.
"Father, it is said that people who have no long-term worries must have short-term worries. What I said is true. Now that the court is turbulent, it is difficult for anyone to sit on the Diaoyutai. Even the general is trying his best to win over all parties. I think it is not a bad idea to let the younger brother go to the place.
A backup plan."
A ray of light flashed from the corner of Yuan Shao's eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, everyone knows that Luoyang is now in a situation of ascending the dragon. Who is not sharpening his head to dig in? Since you want to get out on your own, then brother, how can I not help you?
"Thank you very much, brother, and I also ask for my father's permission."
Glancing at Yuan Shao and seeing his smile, Yuan Shu also smiled knowingly.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, do you think that I don’t know about this little calculation in your mind? You can see that as a modern person, how could you not know about labor and capital?
Nowadays, Luoyang seems to be in bloom, but when Liu Hong dies, He Jin is killed, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang evil bear comes, you will know what it means to be a purgatory on earth.
Instead of running in despair when the time comes, it is better to jump out now and prepare for future history.
"The highway has been crowned and should have its own road. In this case, my father allows it."
"Father."
"Brother, since my father has made a decision, please don't object."
"What Ben Chu said is right, Shi Ji, don't say too much."
"Yes, father."
Yuan Feng's words completely made Yuan Ji give up the idea of dissuading him, and he couldn't help but give Yuan Shu a look that was asking for blessings.
"On the highway, tell your father where you want to go. You can choose from the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty."
