"Zhen's family in Zhongshan?" The pottery merchant frowned in confusion, thought about it carefully, and said, "Is it the natal family of Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi's wife?" "Ah?" Tian Feng was stunned when he heard this. Which one is this?
The rumor spread by fools actually said that the daughter of the Zhen family was the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family?
Although Mr. Yuan has that intention, it is completely irrelevant.
Will this bring shame to the Yuan family?
Could it be that Yuan Xi told the story?
Tian Feng hummed secretly in his heart.
You stinky boy, I will go to the general to report you later!
Let your boy tarnish the reputation of the Yuan family outside for the sake of a woman.
Tian Feng shook his head at Tao Shang and said: "No, although Young Master Yuan also intends to propose marriage to the Zhen family's daughter, it's just that there have been many wars in Hebei in recent years and it has been a troubled year. The general's thoughts are all on foreign wars, so he proposes marriage to the Zhen family's daughter.
The matter can only be put on hold."
Upon hearing this, the Tao Shang nodded suddenly and said: "I see, but since Yuan Xi is interested in the daughter of the Zhen family, the relationship between the two families must be good. You asked me to ask the Zhen family for winter supplies. According to them,
The relationship with Yuan Shao should not be given to me, right?"
Tian Feng shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. After Zhen Yi passed away that year, his second son Zhen Yan became an official. He was quite talented and was reused by Yuan Shao. Unfortunately, he died young the year before last. Now he has his eldest son Zhen Yao.
He was once promoted as a filial and honest man, but he had no real talent or knowledge. He had been idle for several years. He had just joined the officialdom recently, but his position was not high. With his ability, it would be difficult for him to make a career in the future. At this time, the Zhen family was in the gentry circle of Hebei.
The position in the middle can be described as extremely embarrassing.”
Hearing this, Tao Shang nodded suddenly and said: "So, although the Zhen family is rich, their status in the officialdom has declined since Zhen Yi's death. If this continues, sooner or later they will be squeezed out from the gentry group...
If he can take advantage of the chaos and get into my Xuzhou lineage, he might be able to turn over."
Tian Feng admired the pottery merchant's unique vision in his heart.
"Yes, and if they act like this, my lord is the prime minister. If they make the right bet, they can turn over in one fell swoop through your words."
The pottery merchant nodded suddenly, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "That being said, the Zhen family is a local noble family in Hebei after all. Instead of risking the treasure on me, why not marry Yuan Shao? Wouldn't that be a good idea?
Did you turn over?"
Facing the pottery merchant's smart eyes and sudden change of conversation, Tian Feng was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat.
Good boy, on the surface it looks like you are asking for advice humbly, but in fact, without knowing it, I have grasped the key points of your words and asked the key point in one sentence!
This is me. If it were anyone else, I would probably not be able to walk in front of this kid for more than two days.
Tian Feng cleared his throat and said to Tao Shang: "Well, this matter is also a sore point for the general. Although Yuan Xi admires the Zhen family's daughter and wants her to be his wife, the Zhen family's daughter doesn't like him.
He turned a blind eye to his overtures. Although the insiders in the Hebei gentry were well aware of this matter, it was difficult to explain it. The general had never made a marriage proposal for the second young master, which was partly due to the Zhen family's avoidance of the matter.
Attitude... Well, the Four Generations and Three Gongs are naturally more respectful."
The pottery merchant nodded suddenly, looked at Tian Feng with a smile and said, "Really?"
Tian Feng didn't know why, but he felt somewhat uneasy when facing the pottery merchant's dark eyes, and he felt an indescribable feeling of weakness in his heart.
This kid really doesn't look like a twenty-four year old.
Tian Feng calmed down and replied arrogantly: "Of course it is true. What is the purpose of the Prime Minister asking such a question?"
Tao Shang hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, don't get me wrong. It's not that Tao doesn't believe in Mr. Tian. I just don't believe that there is any woman in the world who would not be tempted by a wealthy family like the Yuan family. Such a
There are really very few people.”
Tian Feng glanced at the pottery merchant without leaving any trace, and said: "This daughter of the Zhen family is indeed an extraordinary woman. Since Zhen Yi's death, the Zhen family's huge fields and business have all been taken care of by her.
, his brother Zhen Yao was a mediocre man, and his official career was extremely miserable, but this woman managed the Zhen family in an orderly manner, and her business was the best in Hebei. Moreover, this woman was extremely beautiful, and many noble sons from Hebei
No one who has crossed the threshold of her Zhen family can catch her eye, not even Yuan Xi..."
When he said this, Tian Feng began to carefully observe the potter's expression to see if he showed any interest in the Zhen family daughter.
The problem was that the pottery merchant just looked at Tian Feng with a smile and couldn't even see anything on his face.
Tian Feng couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Could this kid be a monster?
The pottery merchant looked at Tian Feng with a smile and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Tian, what are you looking at?"
Tian Feng couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this.
When I was young, I saw that he replied uncertainly: "Do you dare to be interested in what I just said?"
The pottery merchant nodded vigorously and said, "Of course I'm interested."
"Then Prime Minister, would you like to meet the daughter of the Zhen family?"
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Of course I want to meet you."
The stone in Tian Feng's heart finally fell to the ground. He sighed and said with a smile: "Great, great."
The pottery merchant reached out and touched Tian Feng's forehead, and said doubtfully: "The daughter of the Zhen family is in charge of all the property of the Zhen family. If you want military supplies for the winter, you naturally have to go through him. It is imperative to meet her."
Okay...what's so good about this? Has Mr. Tian's body not recovered yet? Is his mind confused?"
Tian Feng couldn't help but blush when he heard this. The old stubborn donkey lowered his head and murmured, "I feel a little uncomfortable..."
…
After leaving Tian Feng's door, the pottery merchant immediately went to discuss the matter with several of his military advisors.
After listening to this, everyone felt that Tian Feng's solution was indeed feasible.
The pottery merchant immediately asked Guo Jia to arrange for his school officials to go to Zhongshan to inquire about the current situation of the Zhen family.
After the arrangements were completed, the pottery merchant hesitated for a while, and finally expressed his doubts to several wise men and women...
After listening to the potter's words, several people immediately lowered their heads in thought.
When I was young, I saw Zhuge Liang raising his head first and saying: "Teacher, I think Mr. Tian's surrender is justified and there is a reason for it. It should not be a false surrender."
Sima Yi also shook his head and said: "Students don't look like him either."
The potter turned his head to Guo Jia, and saw Guo Jia solemnly saying: "May I ask, Prime Minister, why do you suspect that Tian Feng is faking his surrender?"
The potter smiled mockingly and said, "There is no reason at all, it's just a feeling."
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi both laughed when they heard this, and even the pottery merchant himself couldn't hold back his laughter.
But Guo Jia was uncharacteristically not smiling at all.
He thought about it for a while and then said: "If this is really the case, then Guo really needs to be more careful."
Everyone was very puzzled by what he said.
Guo Jia said calmly: "Guo has been with the Prime Minister for many years, and he knows that the Prime Minister's greatest ability is the Prime Minister's intuition... That is really not ordinary, more accurate than the facts before you!"
