Chapter 404 Yuan Family
Time passed quickly, and soon a grand celebration was held in Kyoto.
With power in both the government and the public, Yuan Ji, the eldest son of the Yuan family, the most famous family in the world, got married to the niece of the general He Jin.
It is said that these two people also have a beautiful love story.
That year, the He family entered Luoyang for the first time and made rapid progress, cooking oil in a fierce fire. Because of the nobleness of the queen of the He family, countless people from one family were granted the title of marquis or king. And He Jin's niece, who was also the daughter of his youngest brother, was also named Lord Pingyang.
Pingyang Jun is innocent and simple, which is still an advantage in his hometown of Nanyang. But once he entered Luoyang, this character really suffered a lot. Finally, because He Jin was close to the Yuan family, he invited Yuan Ji, the most gentle and elegant of the Yuan family, to be his niece's teacher and teach her "Spring and Autumn" so that she would understand more principles.
These two people, one is a Han Dynasty monarch, and the other is a noble son who has inherited his father's title. The former is innocent and innocent, and the latter is tall and handsome. As they teach and get along day and night, it is difficult not to have feelings for them.
But Yuan Ji already had a family at that time. No matter how romantic Pingyang Jun was, he knew that no matter what the status of the He family, it was impossible for her to become someone else's concubine. Otherwise, how would their family's face be saved? Therefore, Pingyang Jun could only hold back his emotions at that time and keep a ray of love in his heart.
Maybe God paid off. Just when Lord Pingyang felt that his only destiny was to enter the palace, unexpectedly, Yuan Ji's wife died.
After that, there was no obstacle between Pingyang Jun and Yuan Ji, and they soon got together.
This naturally made He Jin furious.
His original arrangement for Pingyang Jun was to let her enter the palace as Liu Bian's queen, so that the He family could get closer to the Liu family. But who would have imagined that this rebellious person would actually have an affair with the Yuan family?
What's more, He Jin never expected that he would trust Yuan Ji's character and let him be his niece's teacher. However, this man dressed like a beast actually seduced his ignorant niece.
He Jin wanted to cause trouble, but unfortunately, after the Republic of China, although the He family retained its previous status, it was incomparable with the Yuan family. After all, he, the general, also relies on the Liu family. Now that the Liu family has become a puppet, how much authority can he, the general, still have?
In the end, He Jin could only suppress the infinite pain in his heart, so he had to ask the Yuan family to prepare a wedding ceremony and plan to marry his niece secretly.
But who knows, the Yuan family on the other side doesn't know what they are thinking, but most of them are in the spotlight. On this day in Luoyang City, the sky was beautiful, and the wedding carpet was spread all the way for ten miles. It can be said that the scenery was endless.
Today, all descendants of the Yuan family gathered at the Yuan family residence in Yonghe.
In addition to Yuan Shao who was in the army on the Western Front, Yuan Shu, the Jinwu lieutenant guarding the two palaces, failed to arrive. All the descendants of the Yuan family gathered together to congratulate Yuan Ji on his wedding.
As representatives of the man, they will accompany Yuan Ji to the general's residence to welcome the bride.
At this moment, Yuan Ji was preparing in the back, and the Yuan family's disciples were chatting in the outer courtyard. These people have been living in different parts of the world over the years. It is rare for them to get together like today, so everyone is very excited to chat.
The Yuan family began to flourish during the Yuan An period. At that time, Yuan An had four sons, but it was his second son Yuan Jing who finally inherited the family business. So the descendants of the Yuan family present now are all descendants of Yuan Jing.
But there are also different rooms here. Yuan Jing has two sons, one named Yuan Peng and the other named Yuan Tang. Among them, the youngest son Yuan Tang's lineage was the most promising, and brothers like Yuan Wei all came from this family.
However, the descendants of the eldest son Yuan Peng also came, and the two families were connected at the same time.
At this moment, Yuan Yida, the second son of Yuan Wei, was chatting with Yuan Zhong, the cousin of Yuan Peng's branch.
Yuan Yida still admires his cousin very much, because he was an old party member and one of the first batch of party prisoners. He has been traveling around the mountains and rivers in his hometown in Runan. Recently, the court wanted to appoint him as Prime Minister, and his cousin He first went to Beijing to attend Yuan Ji's wedding and took the opportunity to perform his duties.
Yuan Zhong glanced at Yuan Yida and his younger brother Yuan Renda, who were both wearing brocade clothes, frowned, and asked:
"Why are you wearing brocade clothes? It's not good for outsiders to see you two brothers like this."
Yuan Yida smiled and said sheepishly:
"My brother and I have always abided by filial piety. After my mother-in-law died last year, we wore linen belts as filial piety, and we didn't dare to go beyond the rules. But today, isn't my cousin overjoyed? Wearing linen clothes is always inappropriate, so my father asked us to Wearing brocade today.”
Yuan Zhong nodded, knowing that his cousin should not lie. He took another look at the people present and said strangely:
"Isn't anyone from Ma family here?"
Who knew it would be better not to say this? Yuan Yida’s face turned bitter when he mentioned this, and he helplessly said to Yuan Zhong:
"It's not because of the war. Now my cousin's family has cut off contact with us. I heard that several members of my cousin's family died on the recent battlefield on the Western Front. Hey, tell me, this How could a family that was so good at first become enemies?”
The Ma family mentioned by Yuan Yida is the clan of his mother's Ma family. His mother came from the famous Fufeng Ma family, the most famous wealthy family in Guanxi, and was the daughter of Ma Rong, the concubine of Guanxi.
In fact, thirty years ago, when Ma Rong married his daughter to Yuan Yida and his father Yuan Wei, the scene was even grander than Yuan Ji's marriage today.
At that time, Ma Rong's dowry for his daughter amounted to hundreds of cars, which simply overwhelmed the Yuan family's ostentation.
Today's old Kyoto people can still remember the anecdotes of the Ma and Yuan families back then.
It was said that at that time Yuan Wei felt that he was being pressured by the Ma family in getting married. On the day of the wedding, he asked bitterly if such a large dowry was obtained by his father-in-law's corruption.
Ma's daughter was also good-tempered at that time, and she just responded tactfully, saying that this was all slander by others. Just like the sage Kong was slandered by Uncle Wu, a sage like Zilu would be accused by Gong Boliao. It is inevitable that my father will be slandered.
At that time, these words were spread among the guests who were listening to the wall, and Yuan Wei was scolded by his father for a long time.
Thinking back on the bond between the Yuan and Ma families back then, and looking at the current hostile battlefield between the two sides, a young man like Yuan Yida can only sigh in despair.
From this, we can also see why Yuan Wei, the only big boss figure left in the Yuan family, did not train his own two sons, but the three children of his third brother's family.
In fact, my child is really not a political person, he is too naive.
But I thought that Yuan Yida was already innocent, but I didn't expect that after hearing this, Yuan Zhong became angry and said:
"This Ma family is so outrageous. No matter what, if Aji gets married, someone will come over there. The Ma family has really been worse than the last since Ma Gong left."
Look at this, Yuan Zhong is even more out of place than Yuan Yida.
When Yuan Yida heard this, he could no longer agree.
The two inappropriate Yuan family members were chatting there. A few people in the inner circle talked about business.
The person who is speaking is named Yuan Yi. He is the eldest son of the Dafang family. He is capable of working hard, loyal and upright, and is the backbone of the Yuan family.
Yuan Yi was talking about what he had experienced when he came back from the west:
"I transferred from Wuguan to Nanyang before. Along the way, I saw that Jingzhou is unstable. Has uncle made a new governor of Jingzhou?"
In fact, Jingzhou is now leaderless.
The original Jingzhou governor Xu Qiu had just rebelled again because of the Nanyang Yellow Turbans some time ago, and was accidentally killed, leaving the state empty.
Jingzhou is very important as an important source of money and food for the forces in Guandong. Therefore, he attaches great importance to the candidate for the next Jingzhou governor. This is what Yuan Yi is asking now.
When Yuan Yi asked, a person next to him replied:
"My uncle plans to recommend Liu Biao as the new governor of Jingzhou. My uncle will talk about this when he goes to court today."
The man who spoke was Yuan Yin, Yuan Yi's younger brother. He had been staying in Beijing and obviously wanted to understand the situation better than his brother. When Yuan Yi heard this, he frowned and whispered:
"It would be inappropriate to let Liu's descendants take office."
The few people present were all core and outstanding members of the younger generation of the Yuan family, and of course they understood what Yuan Yi meant by what was inappropriate.
It’s up to Yuan Yin to explain:
"Brother, it's like this. You have been serving as an official in the west, so you may not know Liu Biao very well. Liu Biao is a member of our old party. He has a close relationship with our Yuan family and can be trusted. And he does not rely on our Yuan family. , How can Liu Biao, a native of Yanzhou, be stable in Jingzhou? So brother, don’t worry, my uncle has thought about everything.”
Hearing what his brother said, Yuan Yi could only do this no matter how unconvinced he was. After all, his uncle had already nodded, so what was the point of saying more?
In the end, Yuan Yi could only sigh:
"The nine counties of Jingxiang are the land of abundance. How great it would be if it could be left to our Yuan family!"
At this time, Yuan Yin smiled and said nothing, but when Yuan Xu heard this, he continued:
"My uncle made a decision before that we, the Yuan family's children, should stay in the center so that we can control the government and the public. Jingzhou is good, but how can a governor be the master of the world?"
After saying this, Yuan Yi was thoughtful, obviously thinking about the direction he would be arranged when he returned this time.
Over there, Yuan Yin coughed when he saw his younger brother speaking so openly, then changed the topic and asked:
"Is it true that neither Brother Yuan Hong nor Brother Yuan Hong came?"
Seeing that he had said something wrong, Yuan Xu both made amends and vented his anger:
"Humph, brother, it's not like you don't know the two brothers Yuan Hong and Yuan Hong. They are both men of high moral standards, how can they join in the same trap with mediocre people like us."
Seeing that his little brother's words were so disrespectful, Yuan Yi reprimanded him:
"They are your brothers, how dare you call them by their first names?"
But Yuan Xu curled his lips, obviously disapproving of these two people.
Seeing Yuan Xu like this, Yuan Yi was helpless.
It is said that the Yuan family is most accustomed to playing both sides, otherwise they would not be able to survive for several dynasties. No matter whether the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind, the Yuan family will always be the victor.
But in such a flexible family, two weirdos came out, and they were both biological brothers.
Yuan Hong and Yuan Hong were both from Yuan Peng's lineage, and happened to be the brothers of the untimely Yuan Zhong at the front. To what extent are these two morally noble? A man works hard to cultivate himself and lives in seclusion and is not an official. One changed his name and severed ties with his family.
Thinking of these two people, Yuan Yi was helpless.
At this moment, today's protagonist Yuan Ji finally came out.
At this time, the Yuan clan members inside and outside the hall came forward to congratulate them, but they saw that Yuan Ji's face was very bad and he smiled very reluctantly.
Yuan Yi saw something was wrong with Yuan Ji's look, so he walked closer and asked softly:
"Aki, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that it was his trusted brother who asked about it, Yuan Ji told him what had just happened alone:
"Brother, I just took a nap when I was tired, and suddenly I had a dream. The dream was full of blood, and then I was awakened by a yellow dragon in the dream. The yellow dragon was bleeding all over its body."
After finishing speaking in one breath, seeing that his brother didn't care, Yuan Ji said again:
"After I woke up, I felt something was wrong, so I made a hexagram for myself. The hexagram was very bad!"
At this time, Yuan Yi became serious, because their Yuan family was the one who passed down the "Jing Shi Yi", and Yuan Ji was the best at this among their generation. Now the hexagrams said it would be a big disaster, and it seemed that there would really be something bad. something happened.
So Yuan Yi also worried:
"What should we do? Are you saying there is something wrong with this wedding?"
Yuan Ji shook his head and said:
"No, there is no problem with the wedding. What I am worried about is my uncle. I went to the morning court today, and my uncle is supposed to be back by now. After all, there is a wedding to be held in the evening. But now that my uncle has not returned, I think this divination will probably be in. Uncle's place."
Now Yuan Yi couldn't sit still. Of course he knew that the Yuan family was currently cooking in a raging fire, but all wealth and wealth depended on his uncle Yuan Wei. If the opposition wanted to harm the Yuan family, all he had to do was get rid of his uncle.
So, Yuan Yi trembled and said:
"Does the palace want to harm my uncle?"
Yuan Ji thought for a while, shook his head, and said to Yuan Yi:
"My uncle has always cherished his body. He always wore chainmail in court, and we, the Yuan family, are all members of the Yuan family inside and outside the palace. In the palace, the other party cannot harm my uncle. The only chance is when my uncle goes back to the palace from court. In this way, brother, After a while, you call the highway and ask him to take Jinwu to Zhuque Gate to wait for his uncle to go to court, and then send him all the way back.”
Yuan Yi nodded hurriedly and suddenly asked:
"What about you? Are you still going to get married?"
Yuan Ji smiled and said:
"Of course I have to get married. I am destined to be with Lord Pingyang for a lifetime, and I will never let her down. If I ruin her reputation because of a dream, Lord Pingyang will hate me forever. The auspicious time is coming soon, I'll go ahead and leave the rest to my brother."
Yuan Yi was still a little worried and advised:
"Why don't you bring some songs with you so that you can come back if something really goes wrong."
Yuan Ji shook his head:
"I'm going to pick up the bride this time, not to make a grudge. Originally, our Yuan family and the He family were a little nervous. This wedding will greatly ease the relationship between our two families. What would happen if I led troops to welcome the bride? ? And don’t worry, brother, I will take Yan Liang with me. With ten thousand enemies here, the general’s palace is nothing.”
Seeing Yuan Ji thinking this way, Yuan Yi had no choice but to agree, and then began to greet his brothers and prepare to pick up the bride.
The scene for Yuan's wedding was so grand, there were fifty ox carts parked outside, and another hundred carts for the ceremony behind. The entourage and concierge totaled two to three hundred people, who parked directly on the road outside the mansion. Gotta be full.
And a large number of people from Kyoto gathered outside to watch the excitement. They were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. All the idle people in Luoyang came in for a while.
It was in this bustling atmosphere that Yuan Ji dressed in colorful clothes and left the house, preparing to board the car.
But at this moment, the shaft of the wedding car suddenly cracked, but everyone present was so busy that no one noticed.
Yuan Ji got into the car with the support of his younger brother. Behind him, two unmarried boys, Yuan Yida and Yuan Renda, also got into the same car.
Afterwards, with an order from the concierge, the entire wedding team headed towards the General's Mansion.
I will be writing a very important scene recently, please support me. Give more monthly votes to Xiao Chen.
