Yuan Xi looked up and saw that it was Lu Lingqi, lying on the wall watching his own joke, and said angrily: "Do you think I'm making a fool of myself?"
Lu Lingqi smiled and said: "I was afraid that you would hold a grudge against my mother, so I wanted to come over and comfort you, but I didn't expect you to be so disrespectful."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "But I wrongly blamed Madam."
Lu Lingqi's face turned red and she spat, "Who is your wife!"
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll stab you in dozens of holes with the halberd!"
Yuan Xi quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Young lady, there are a lot of them. Just think of what I just said as farting."
Lu Lingqi became even more unhappy after hearing this, "You don't mean what you say?"
Yuan Xi has a headache, women are difficult to take care of!
He closed his mouth knowingly.
Lu Lingqi waited for a while, and when Yuan Xi didn't speak, she muttered in a low voice, "He has a thief's heart but not his courage."
Yuan Xi didn't hear clearly and raised his head and said: "What?"
Lu Lingqi was slightly irritated, "If you can't hear clearly, forget it!"
"Also, when will you fulfill your promise and take me to fight?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi sighed: "When they hear that there is a war, others stay away, but it's better for you to follow them like birds."
"Although Yuan Shu's army has arrived near Huaicheng, it may not be able to fight."
"But Marquis Wen rushed to Hedong, and it may be very lively there next time."
"Li Jue and Guo Si's Liangzhou army, Baibo bandits, Cao army, plus Wenhou and Youzhou army, there will definitely be a battle in the near future."
Lu Lingqi couldn't help but feel itchy after hearing this, "Can you take me there?"
Yuan Xi spread his hands helplessly, "Marquis Wen is over there. If he sees me, how can I still survive?"
"Besides, I was entrusted by Marquis Wen to defend the city. The situation in Huaicheng is already unstable, so I have to try to drive Yuan Shu away first."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi looked around and lowered her voice: "I always feel that my father is lying to you."
"My father has not expressed his position on the marriage so far. I know him very well, and most likely he doesn't like you very much."
Yuan Xi was amused, "You're not even married yet, but you're eating the inside out and turning your elbows outward?"
Lu Lingqi raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, you are not a good person. I will ignore you."
She suddenly jumped down and disappeared over the wall.
Yuan Xi smiled slightly. The gentry women around him were all very image-conscious. They walked and spoke elegantly and dignifiedly, but they were not as outspoken and outspoken as Lu Lingqi, who looked like a wild child.
However, Yuan Xi had already noticed that Lu Bu was hanging on to him.
Because the princes in the world are currently fighting each other, and the situation is unclear. If the wrong chips are pressed, it will be the end of death.
In Lu Bu's view, he does not yet have the strength to conquer the world, and the situation in the fight for the emperor is unclear. If the Youzhou army fails and Yuan Shu and Cao Cao gain power, Lu Bu will have to sever ties with Yuan Xi.
Therefore, Lu Bu did not dare to put all his wealth on Yuan Xi easily. He only vaguely joined forces with Yuan Xi. As for marrying a daughter, he started to act stupid.
Yuan Xi thought about it, the key was to fight for the emperor in Anyi, and the final result!
This will directly affect the situation of the world in the future. If it succeeds, Yuan Xi will be able to open up a new world. If it fails, he will be forced to retreat to Youzhou and all his previous efforts will be wasted.
So Yuan Xi was also betting that Ju Shou Zhao Yun's civil and military combination could succeed.
The reason why he did not go there in person was because after thinking about it with Guo Jia, he thought it might be better if Yuan Xi did not appear in front of Liu Xie.
Guo Jia believed that Liu Xie had a very unique personality and needed to be treated appropriately, because Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong and his manners and manners were similar to those of the Empress Dowager Dong. People at the time even called him Marquis Dong.
The reason for this title has to do with the status of women in the Han Dynasty.
The status of women in the Han Dynasty was closely related to Han laws. Han laws stipulated that when the master died, the mistress could take charge of the family and even had the right to inherit the family business.
Moreover, after a woman gets married, she is still called by the last name she had before she got married. This shows from one aspect that women in the Han Dynasty were very independent.
The reason for this is related to the high status of women in the three generations of pre-Qin Dynasty. It is also because the Han Dynasty paid great attention to the relationship between the wife's family and even the uncle's family, even more than the relationship between brothers. This is especially obvious in the royal family.
During the Han Dynasty, many princes and princesses took their mother's surname, especially the princes who mostly took their mother's surname. Even if they took their father's surname, their titles would reflect their mother's surname.
When Liu Rong, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, became the crown prince, he was called Prince Li. The reason was because his mother's surname was Li.
Liu Ju, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had a mother named Wei Zifu. After he became the crown prince, he was called Prince Wei. Liu Ju's son was called Shi Huangsun because his mother was Shi Liangdi.
This situation made Yuan Xi very puzzled when he was reading history. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was a dictatorship of Empress Lu, but why did the Han Dynasty still value the wife family so much?
Later, he finally figured it out. For the emperor, although the queen's wife and family might be monopolistic, at least they were dedicated to assisting the queen's biological heirs.
After all, if their nephew ascends to the throne, he will definitely rely on them, and the family will be able to revitalize. It can be said that everyone gets what they need.
But the brothers are different. They will snatch the throne from themselves and let their son take the throne!
This is the reason why uncles are often not as close as uncles. Among the forces surrounding the princes in the past, the uncle family has always been the most reliable one.
Later, when Wu Zetian ascended the throne and became emperor, she could only return the throne to her son Li when she was about to die. Even so, she was crazy to choose a child of the Wu family. Although they had the same surname, they were not children. What did it have to do with her?
This is the most reasonable and logical choice that people make around the tight bond of blood.
Liu Xie was brought up by Empress Dowager Dong and regarded her as his mother. On that day, Empress Dowager Dong was deposed by He Jin and Empress He and died inexplicably. Yuan Xi guessed that Liu Xie was very resentful about this.
Because Queen He not only killed Empress Dong, but also killed Liu Xiesheng's mother, Wang Meiren.
Although there were coincidences in the series of things that happened after that, although Dong Zhuo took control of Liu Xie after entering the capital, he also killed Queen He and avenged Liu Xie's murder of his mother.
Thinking about it, Liu Xie's feelings for Dong Zhuo should be very complicated, right?
Liu Xie's experience makes it difficult for anyone to maintain his mentality. Therefore, he has a natural distrust of the people around him. It is not easy to achieve his goals through him.
While Yuan Xi was thinking, Lu Lingqi had already come out from behind the wall. Seeing that Yuan Xi was lost in thought, she punched Yuan Xi on the shoulder, "You idiot, what are you thinking about?"
Yuan Xi hissed in pain and wondered why Lu Lingqi's strength was getting stronger and stronger. It was indeed Lu Bu's inheritance.
Lu Lingqi saw it and snorted: "Not even half as good as my father, but you still want to take advantage of me!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi looked Lu Lingqi up and down, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Lu Lingqi saw his mean look and recalled the embarrassing scenes of being pinned down by him twice. She couldn't help but feel angry and said angrily: "Mom doesn't want to see you, but I still want to think of a way for you.
You still don’t know what’s good!”
After hearing this, Yuan Xi quickly put on a flattering look, grabbed Lu Lingqi's sleeve and said, "Thank you very much, madam. If everything comes true, I will repay you generously."
Lu Lingqi felt proud in her heart, "As long as there is no need for generous rewards, just fight if there is a chance!"
She then asked doubtfully: "Why are you so anxious to see your mother?"
"You're not planning any bad ideas, are you?"
Yuan Xi vomited blood and said, "Where did you think you were? I really have something to find her!"
“And it’s about caring about the safety of the city!”
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi turned around and said, "I'll trust you once, just follow me."
"Mr. Yuanhua is using the needle on my mother. Counting the time, she is almost ready."
When Yuan Xi saw Lu Lingqi turning around and walking in, he quickly followed her, thinking that Lu Lingqi was still reliable.
In Yan's house, Hua Tuo pulled out more than a dozen golden needles and said to Yan, "Okay."
"How do you feel, ma'am?"
Mrs. Yan touched her face and said happily: "Excuse me, sir, after these few times, I feel much refreshed and even my skin has improved a lot."
"If you are interested, sir, how about I ask my husband to find an official position for you and stay in the house?"
Hua Tuo smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you madam for your kindness, but I have already promised the young master, but it is difficult to change my family."
Yan felt quite regretful after hearing this, sighed and said, "That's really a pity."
Hua Tuo's acupuncture method was indeed effective and made her want to stay with her for a long time. Others could not do Hua Tuo's job. Once Hua Tuo left, she would sooner or later return to her previous appearance.
At this time, Yuan Xi's voice sounded outside the window, "It's not impossible."
When Yan heard this, he shouted: "Who is it?"
Lu Lingqi's voice sounded, "Mom, this is Young Master Yuan."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan said angrily: "Who asked you to bring him in!"
Yuan Xi cursed in his heart, Lu Lingqi's mother was really bad-tempered. If he hadn't really had something to do, she would have come here to take the piss. But for Lu Lingqi's sake, he patiently said: "Yuan Xi, Yuan Xianyi, I have something to ask you to see my wife."
"Now that the two families have joined forces, when Marquis Wen is out, Madam is in charge. I hope Madam can let me tell you in person."
After hearing this, Ms. Yan still wanted to refuse, so she heard Lu Lingqi say from outside: "Mom, just listen to him. If he makes trouble unreasonably, it won't be too late to kick him out."
Yan said bitterly: "You are speaking for outsiders!"
But she thought that Hua Tuo was the other party's agent after all, and might need it in the future, so she had to be patient and said: "Forget it, come in, I'll only give you a quarter of an hour."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi walked in, bowed, then straightened up and raised his face.
He and Yan looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
Mr. Yan thought that it was no wonder that her daughter was so fascinated. It turned out that this boy really had a good skin!
Apart from almost no beard, she could hardly find anything wrong with Yuan Xi's appearance.
To Yuan Xi's surprise, Yan was much younger than he expected, and she was slender and had an oval face. She looked more like a Jiangnan woman, which was completely different from his previous guess.
Looking at it this way, it is quite rare for Lu Lingqi to inherit the advantages of her parents.
Yan's face looked unkind, "I wonder what the young master is here for?"
Yuan Xi did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "There are generals in the city who have evil intentions and intend to rebel."
"If it is not dealt with, disaster will happen sooner or later, and the chaos in Huaicheng will happen again."
