Zhen smiled and said softly: "Mr. Wen doesn't know anything about 、、、 husband. Although the concubine was given the surname Zhen, she was not a member of the Zhen family after all, and she did not have the power and influence to order the entire Zhen family to move to Chang'an.

Does the husband still remember the elder of the Zhen family, in fact, he is not the patriarch, but the head of the Zhen family, that is, the previous head of the family.

In addition, he is also the biological father of my late husband Zhen Yi, that is, my father-in-law, and the father-in-law who gave me the surname Zhen. This time I ordered the whole family to move to Chang'an and support her husband, which was the decision of my father-in-law Zhen Yuan, without the consent of his old man, I would transfer most of the Zhen family's shops and family property to Chang'an, but I could not let the clan move to Xiliang. ”

Speaking of this, Zhen's voice paused slightly, Chu Chu looked at Li Li movingly, and said softly: "I have something to ask for, and I ask my husband to agree." ”

"Oh, you don't have to scruple, but it's okay." Li Li replied in surprise.

Zhen glanced at Li Li with a shy expression, then tilted his head and said: "Now I have served my husband, no matter what good or bad luck or bad luck will be from now on, I will be my husband's person in life and my husband's ghost in death."

However, Zhen is not my real name after all, my real name is Zhang Ai, and my husband can call me my real name or Zhang in the future, and Zhen's name should be Jiang Er's sisters. ”

"Hehehe! Li Li smiled heartily: "Okay, you will be my Zhang Ji in the future, and after returning to Xiliang, I will have a wedding ceremony!" ”

After hearing this, Zhen's face was happy, but she shook her head lightly, bowed and said, "Husband Rongyu, I don't want any status, as long as I can follow my husband and serve my husband at any time." After the Zhen family moved to Xiliang and settled down. I gave up the position of head of the family to Zhen Yan and served my husband wholeheartedly. If my husband can trust me, or if I think I can still run a family, I am willing to be the manager of the government in the palace and take care of the property in the name of the general's mansion for my husband. I don't know what my husband wants? ”

"Oh?" Li Li looked at Zhen in astonishment, his face showed a strong look of appreciation, and he smiled and said: "Right now, there are two housekeepers in my house, one is the old housekeeper Li Fu, who is not only the chief housekeeper of the outer house, but also the housekeeper of the inner house. Responsible for taking care of all the properties under the name of the General's Mansion; The other housekeeper is Zou Jing, the housekeeper of the inner court, who is mainly responsible for managing the attendants, maidservants and miscellaneous servants of the inner court, as well as trivial matters in the inner court.

The old housekeeper Li Fu is my uncle, who is over fifty years old and old. Over the years, I have been looking for a competent housekeeper to hand over many properties of the General's Mansion. Now you're willing to take over. I can't ask for it. You are the best fit. It's just that since then, the butler is a servant after all, and his status is too low, but he has wronged you. Are you really willing to accept the position of steward and not be a concubine? ”

"Thank you, I am willing to be a housekeeper. Don't be a concubine! Zhen said solemnly.

The smile on Li Li's face became brighter and brighter, and he exclaimed: "You are really a smart woman!" Pragmatic and not pragmatic, although my general's mansion does not have so much money and food savings of the Zhen family, it has a lot of industries under its name. It's not just land and houses. What's more critical is that in recent years, the General's Mansion has set up many workshops with great potential, all of which are under the name of the Inner Government. These workshops, as long as they are properly operated, can surpass the Zhen family's 100-year accumulation within three to five years, and will be ten, hundred, or even more times the Zhen family's industry in the future. I am very relieved to hand over the workshop to you to take over, and I believe that you will be able to manage it well and provide a steady stream of food and salary for my Xiliang Army in the future. ”

After a pause in his voice, Li Li's words changed sharply, and he said loudly: "However, you are my Li Li's woman, whether you want a title or not, I will give you the title you deserve, just like when I married six wives, this is my bottom line, and it will never change." Therefore you are still my concubine, and you are the head of the inner house, and you are in charge of the workshop property under my name. ”

"This 、、、、、、" Zhen was very moved, her eyes were full of tears, but she hesitated and whispered: "The concubine is now favored by her husband, it is a great luck, how can she ask for fame again." After all, I have been married before, and I have a daughter, if I am a husband and concubine again, I am afraid that I will damage my husband's prestige and be ridiculed by other princes. Therefore, please take back your fate. ”

"Haha!" When Li Li heard this, he got up and hugged Zhen's detailed waist, and said with a smile: "In troubled times, most men die in the field, and it is common for women to remarry, which has been the case since ancient times. I, Li Li, am not a person who sells fame and reputation, I have never been afraid of people's words, and I will not wronged my own woman in order to maintain my reputation.

You may not have heard of Yanzhou Cao Cao's special fetish, he doesn't like girls, and he likes to rob other people's wives as concubines. It is said that among Cao Cao's nine wives and concubines, only the original Ding family was married to him as a girl, and the other eight concubines were not girls, these women were either born in Qinglou, or were already wives, or widows. Since Cao Cao is not afraid of other people's discussions and is a maverick, is my Li Li not as good as him! So there is no need to discuss this matter again, I have made up my mind and cannot be changed! ”

At first glance, when Li Li mentioned the origin of Cao Cao's nine wives and concubines in Yanzhou, Zhen and Ma Yunluo's two daughters were stunned and inexplicable, looking at each other, looking very surprised. However, when they thought of the dangerous situation of Yanzhou Cao Cao now surrounded by strong enemies on all sides, their hearts were also relieved.

Although Cao Cao was the founding father of the Han Dynasty, Cao Shen, he could be called an official eunuch family, but his grandfather Cao Teng was a eunuch and had no children under his knees, so he was able to continue the lineage of incense. Now Cao Cao is leading the Yanzhou pastoral, and the territory is only half of the state and county of Yanzhou, and he is sandwiched between Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and Xu Rong, the general of Xiliang, and the situation is very bad. At present, Cao Cao is under the banner of avenging his father, leading the army to attack Xuzhou Tao Qian, it is said that the beginning of the spring shouted to pour out the nest, but delayed for more than two months, until more than ten days ago, he led the army to Xuzhou, so far I don't know if there is a formal war.

Seeing Li Li's resolute expression, Zhen had no choice but to nod in agreement. In fact, she was inexplicably surprised in her heart, glad that she didn't follow the wrong person, Li Li was really a responsible man, so she became more and more obsessed with Li Li.

As Li Li said, in fact, the Zhen family knows very well that with the Zhen family's existing billions of family wealth as bargaining chips, she can naturally get the corresponding reputation, but she would rather not have this kind of false name, retreat to the second, and choose to serve as the housekeeper of the inner government. In this way, you can not only follow Li Li for a long time, but also do something to show your own value. will not be excluded by others after being old, and even being snubbed and abandoned by Li Li.

This is the Zhen family's principal, Zhen, a beautiful and intelligent woman, who never cares about temporary gains and losses, but focuses on the future. Pragmatic and not pragmatic, she has a very clear understanding of herself at any time and knows how to make choices that are in her own interests.

Nanyuan main hall.

Zhang Ai, that is, Zhen, followed behind Li Li, slowly walked into the hall, and saw the imperial plaque given to Zhen Taibao Zhen Han by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu two hundred years ago hanging in the center of the main hall.

"The junior Li Li (daughter) meets Zhen Lao (father)!

Under the plaque, the white-haired Zhen Yuan sat on the main seat and closed his eyes to recuperate. After hearing the sound, he slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand to signal Li Li and Zhen to sit down.

After the maidservant served the tea, Zhen Yuan looked at Zhen with a kind face, and then turned her eyes to Li Li. He said unhurriedly: "I heard that Qianwen Tianchang was hit by more than ten arrows in his body and was seriously injured. At death's door. Today it seems. Jiren has his own natural appearance, which is by no means within the reach of small people, and it is just a false alarm. However, this also shows that the dead soldiers in the nursing home who have been cultivated by my Zhen family for many years have enjoyed peace for a long time and have neglected the war. It still needs to be honed before it can be used. In the future, these people will be handed over to the virtuous nephews, who can be used for them, and if they are not available, they will be dismissed, and they will be used as the little girl's dowry. Everything is up to Wenchang. ”

Li Li bowed his head slightly with a modest expression, did not say anything to refuse Zhen Yuan's kindness, and laughed harmoniously: "Zhen Lao's kindness, the younger generation is ashamed, I don't thank you for my great kindness, I will treat Ling Ai well in the future, please rest assured Zhen Lao." ”

Zhen Yuan nodded lightly and said: "Wenchang is a young hero, holding a male soldier and shepherding a side, these old decays have heard of it. Nowadays, the princes are in dispute, the world is restless, Wenchang patrols the heavens, there is a long way to go, and in the future, it is necessary to be lenient and benevolent, treat the people well, and must not kill too much, so as not to violate the peace of heaven. ”

"The predecessors are reasonable, Wenchang should keep it in mind and reflect on himself from time to time." Li Li stood up and bowed, and said respectfully.

Seeing that Li Li was so humble and polite, Zhen Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe it's because of the old age, there are not many days left, and he often thinks about the goodness of human nature and has no quarrel with the world." What Fang just said, Wen Chang listened to it, but he should not be too merciful, and he should be tolerant everywhere. In troubled times, killing is inevitable, and blindly benevolent concessions will not achieve great things after all, and even suffer from it. Therefore, we should be merciful and forgiving to innocent people, but we should not tolerate rebellious ministers and thieves and tyrants who deliberately instigate trouble, but should use thunderous means to eliminate evil, and not have the kindness of a woman, so as not to cause endless troubles in the future. ”

Seeing that Zhen Yuan, who was kind and kind, could actually say such a decisive word, Li Li was surprised, and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhen Yuan is worthy of being the person in charge of the Zhen family consortium for dozens of cold and summer, and now although he is over the age and is about to die, he still has extraordinary insight and sees the situation in the world thoroughly." It's true: people are old and wise, and they are dazzled and clear! ”

In his thoughts, Li Li replied respectfully: "What the predecessors said is extremely true, Wenchang has been taught. ”

After a pause, Li Li said the true meaning of this trip: "Half an hour ago, the younger generation Fang Zhi Zhen ordered the family to move to Chang'an, and began to transfer the family property a month ago. Elder Zhen trusts the younger generation so much, and actually entrusts the lives of more than 1,100 clansmen, Wenchang is deeply grateful, but also feels a great responsibility, and I don't know how to repay your great kindness. Please also ask Elder Zhen to make it clear. ”

"Since Wenchang asked, the old man told him bluntly." Old man Zhen seemed to have expected that Li Li would definitely come to see him before leaving Zhen's Mansion, and he must have asked this question. Therefore, when Li Li took the initiative to ask, he did not be perfunctory, and said frankly: "There are three reasons why Lao Yu decided to support Wenchang and move his family to Xiliang.

First, Zhen's life is hard. She married into my Zhen family at the age of fifteen, and when she was not yet eighteen years old, the dog died early due to illness, and since then she has been widowed and living alone, and has borne the fate of the rise and fall of the entire family as a woman. Over the years, in order to run the family business, she has worked tirelessly to travel from south to north, running around, so that the profit of the Zhen family's shop in three years exceeded that of the previous 30%, and the Zhen family's shops were all over the world. It can be said that the hard work is high, and the business ability is high, far surpassing the previous heads of my Zhen family.

A month ago, Zhen admired Wenchang in every way to the old man, and his words and deeds revealed his love for you. At that time, I was shocked and stunned, for fear of losing her good daughter-in-law and daughter. However, when I looked back and thought about it, I was relieved. As a father-in-law, I can prevent my daughter-in-law from remarrying, but after Zhen has been filial piety for the dog for three years, according to the old system, he can remarry. And as a father, if you don't want your daughter to live happily, you are not a good father and a father in vain. Therefore, I can't stop Zhen from remarrying, but should support her to strive for a happy life.

Second, my Zhen family was born when Wang Mang was in turmoil, and it has been inherited for more than 200 years. As early as five years ago, when Dong Zhuo led the army into Luoyang, I regarded Dong Zhuo as the second Wang Mang, thinking that the Han dynasty was in danger and the world would once again fall into turmoil and chaos. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo had a tyrannical temperament, killed too much, and acted recklessly, far less clever than Wang Mang's methods, but instead of succeeding in usurping the throne, he attracted the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and provoked the alliance of princes in various towns to crusade. Therefore, Dong Zhuo is not as cunning as Wang Mang, but his ability to cause chaos in the government is above Wang Mang, which causes the Han Dynasty to rise together, and the princes divide it, which shatters the entire Han Dynasty, completely shakes the foundation of the Han family, and has no hope of prosperity.

In view of this, if my Zhen family wants to continue and the incense lasts forever, we must carefully choose a prince to attach to, so as not to destroy the entire family in the chaotic war of the princes. At first, I was optimistic about Yuan Shao in Jizhou, because the Zhen family and the Yuan family in Ruyang are old friends, and it is natural to support Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Shao has occupied Jizhou for three years, with a family background, sufficient money and food, and occupies the most populous and richest prefectures and counties in the world, with more than 200,000 soldiers, but he has not done much, but he is not as strong as the soldiers and horses under the account of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. It's really in name, but it's not real, and it's not enough to achieve great things. ”

Speaking of this, Zhen Yuan showed a disappointed expression on his face, obviously regretting Yuan Shao's incompetence.

After calming down a little, he continued: "In addition, I know and understand the three sons of Yuan Shao, and I am more optimistic about his second son Yuan Xi before, thinking that this son is quite virtuous and should be able to succeed in the future. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi and his father Yuan Shao are worthy of being father and son, and they are also born with dignified appearances, but they are vain in name, and they are really unlearned and unskilled, which makes people feel chilled to see. Because of this, I have never made up my mind about where the Zhen family will go in the future, and it is at this time that the Zhen family strongly admires Wenchang and invites you to come to the Zhen Mansion as a guest. From this, I was able to observe Wenchang up close, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.

Third, and the key to what finally made me really determined to attach my clan to you. That is, Wenchang you are young and promising, with outstanding achievements, good governance, with Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Sili three states, strong strength, ranking first among the princes in the world. And the Xiliang army under your command has always been the most brave and warlike army in the Han Dynasty, with 400,000 soldiers, which is also the first among the princes. In addition, although the Han family is in danger, the Son of Heaven is still there, and you just control the Son of Heaven and the Chang'an court, occupying an absolutely dominant position, and you can patrol the herd on behalf of the heavens at any time and conquer the Quartet.

It is based on these three reasons, and Zhen loves you, so everything naturally falls into place. The Zhen family's choice to attach to you and fully support you is undoubtedly the most haode choice, and there is no second candidate. ”
