As night fell, the world was pitch black. In a simple and elegant study room in Zhen Mansion, under the oil lamps, Zhen Shu and Zhen Yan were talking in a low voice.

"Uncle, the second young master suddenly arrived today and asked me to go to his Iron Guard Camp. What is the purpose?" Zhen Yan asked with a frown.

Zhen Shu did not answer directly, but smiled faintly and said, "What do you think?"

"My nephew thinks that the second young master's move is not simple, and there is a big gap between the rumored mediocrity and inaction," Zhen Yan said with a serious expression.

Zhen Shu nodded and praised: "You are right. Although the second young master said nothing today, he just wanted to accept our Zhen family for his own use."

Zhen Yan's pupils shrank and he said in surprise: "Does he also want to compete for that position?"

"It's possible, so he urgently needs the financial resources of our Zhen family." Zhen Shu's face became much more serious.

"I'm so confused. Although he is the legitimate son, he is far inferior to the power of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, and Mr. Yuan doesn't pay attention to him." Zhen Yan looked worried. After all, if something happened to Yuan Xi, his sister would become a widow.

"I'm not confused, let's not talk about it for now, but today there is one thing that I feel is much better than Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan." Zhen Shu suddenly became serious.

"What point?" Zhen Yan was a little surprised.

"Calm down, he is too calm. Yuan Gong will soon unify the four continents and become the number one prince in the world. It can be said that many people now think that the world in the future must belong to the Yuan family. Even if he cannot become the crown prince in the future, he will be a prince at least. But do you think he is a little joy?" Zhen Shu's tone was filled with a hint of surprise.

After thinking for a while, Zhen Yan shook his head, "No, he looks very calm."

"Yes! I have met two young masters, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, a few days ago. Although they covered up very well, the arrogant momentum in their eyes became stronger and stronger. They even openly said that the Prime Minister Cao in Xudu is just his father's youth, and was born in a very despicable way. He should bow down to their Yuan family." When he said this, Zhen Shu's tone became much more serious, "Yan'er, a person who can control the emperor to make the princes is so despised by them. He is worried that if Yuan Gong is not here, they may suffer a great loss."

Zhen Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and whispered: "This is indeed a bit inappropriate, but although Cao Mengde is good, how can he be the opponent of Mr. Yuan who owns the four continents? Once Mr. Yuan sends troops, he will definitely be defeated."

"That's right, but the world has not been unified yet." Zhen Shu also felt that Yuan Shao would not be defeated, but he was always a little uneasy.

"Why are you going or not?" Zhen Yan became a little confused.

Zhen Shu shook his head, "I don't want it for the time being. If he really has that kind of idea, it's really dangerous. We need to take a look. But after all, he is the son of the Yuan family, Mi'er's husband, and my son-in-law of the Zhen family. Even if we can't give up people, we have to help. From today on, we will pay tens of thousands of dollars every year. This will not only show our feelings, but also not arouse suspicion from other people. If he can really come out, you will be in the past, and my Zhen family will do our best to help. His last words are reminding me that no matter how big the business is, my Zhen family cannot enter the upper class. He is still a lowly businessman in the eyes of the gentry."

Zhen Yan nodded, "Okay! I'll listen to my uncle."

When Zhen Shu and Zhen Yan talked about Yuan Xi in detail, Zhen Mi was also asking Yuan Xi how it was in a luxurious bedroom in the distance.

"Husband, how about it?" Zhen Mi asked with concern.

Yuan Xi smiled and said softly: "Uncle is very smart and very experienced. No wonder he can take the Zhen family's business to this level. I tried it a little today. He should have guessed it. As for the result, it depends on God's will, and he is not sure about being a husband."

"Then I'll go find my uncle right away." After hearing this, Zhen Mi suddenly became anxious.

Yuan Xi hurriedly grabbed it and whispered: "Mi'er, some things cannot be forced, you have to do it step by step. For your husband, you are not those heroes who start from scratch. There is still time, so there is no need to be so anxious. Give my uncle some time to consider it."

Hearing this, Zhen Mi couldn't help but sigh, and then asked with concern: "Husband, what do you think of my elder brother?"

Yuan Xi was stunned and smiled and said, "Yes, although his vision and experience are still a little bit poor, he is also a talent for the county magistrate."

"Talented County Magistrate!" Zhen Mi pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, with a very unhappy expression.

"Haha, of course, if Mi'er is considered, he can be a marquis." Yuan Xi hurriedly hugged Zhen Mi and comforted her with a smile. Zhen Shu was indeed not bad, but in terms of intelligence, she was definitely not a shocking talent. Although this intelligence will increase with her own experience, the speed is too slow. Now that the troubled times are coming, Yuan Xi has no time to cultivate it patiently.

When Zhen Mi heard this, she immediately smiled happily, looked up at Yuan Xi and said, "Then my husband must give my brother a place as a marquis in the future."

"Of course, but how can my wife repay me?" Yuan Xi looked at the pure and beautiful face, and a flash of fire flashed in his eyes.

Zhen Mi's face suddenly turned red. Yuan Xi smiled and picked up Zhen Mi and headed towards the bed not far away. Naturally, there was another night of endless spring.

The next morning, Zhen Mi was called away by the maid, saying that Zhen Shu had some family matters to tell her. When Yuan Xi saw this scene, he knew that Zhen Shu was unwilling to surrender to him for the time being, but he was afraid that it would hurt both sides' face, so it was best for Mi'er to tell him.

Sure enough, when Zhen Mi came back, her face looked a little ugly and she was a little ashamed.

Yuan Xi held her little hand and smiled and said, "It's okay, have you forgotten what you said to be a husband? We rely on ourselves."

"I'm sorry, husband, uncle is only willing to provide 10,000 yuan a year and is unwilling to let his elder brother go to the Tiewei Camp." Zhen Mi lowered her head and apologized.

"Ten Thousand Gold" Yuan Xi's eyes flashed. The money of the Three Kingdoms was mainly Wuzhu coins and gold, one gold was about ten thousand coins. Now the rice price was about 220 coins per hu, and one hu was 120 kilograms, which was enough for one person to eat for a month and a half. Ten thousand gold could support him to support an army of tens of thousands of people.

"Mi'er, this is a good thing! We can't be too greedy. Uncle has to consider the entire Zhen family. I am too weak now, so it is normal for him to worry. With this 10,000 yuan a year, I am already surprised." Yuan Xi said happily. As for Zhen Yan, he doesn't need it very much now, and it's not Kong Ming, Guo Jia's amazing talents.

"Husband, you really think so, you really don't blame uncle." Hearing this, Zhen Mi immediately looked up and asked expectantly.

"Of course, to be honest, even if my uncle doesn't give me ten thousand gold, with Mi'er, I won't hold a grudge against the Zhen family," Yuan Xi comforted.

"Thank you, my husband" Zhen Mi was immediately moved...

After breakfast, Yuan Xi took Zhen Mi to the carriage, left Zhen's mansion, and returned home.

Looking at the gradually disappearing carriage, Zhen Yan said with some concern: "The second young master won't be angry, right?"

"No, as long as Mi'er is here, he will never vent his anger on our Zhen family because of this incident." Zhen Shu touched her chin and said confidently.

"To be honest, the second young master has a really good temper. I felt a little embarrassed during breakfast. He was really smiling," Zhen Yan said in admiration.

Zhen Shu frowned in an instant, gently waved the others around him, and warned with a serious face: "Yan'er, if you think so, you're a big mistake. A person with great ambitions has no good temper or bad temper. It can only be said that this matter is far from touching his bottom line. If he really touches his bottom line, let alone just one of you, even Mi'er will not have a good result. You are still too young and have insufficient experience. Like this morning, you have lost your composure and left a bad impression on the second young master. You must remember to be calm at any time, whether it is the officialdom or the business, do you understand?"

Zhen Yan's face turned pale and he was ashamed: "My uncle is right, my nephew will definitely improve in the future."

"The 10,000 gold coins this year will be sent immediately, and you will arrange them yourself," Zhen Shu ordered.

"No!" Zhen Yan responded.

After Yuan Xi's carriage left Zhen's mansion, he slowly drove on the lane. After about half a stick of incense, suddenly bursts of rapid horse hooves sounded, as if thousands of horses were swelling. After the frightened shouts of the people, a voice that seemed to despise everything in the world came into the curtain.

"Second brother, are you here?"

"Yes, Yuan Shang" Zhen Mi said in surprise after hearing this.
