After three rounds of wine, the dishes are more delicious.
There were too few people at the table, so Zhen Yan could only personally open his mouth to warm up the scene.
"The cavalry that Second Young Master brought with him today is obviously elite!”
"Brother-in-law, you're too kind. I just transferred a battalion of soldiers to me. To tell you the truth, in order to let Mi 'er return in glory, I shamelessly asked General Yan Liang for these 100 warhorses.”
Yuan Xi: I'm going to start acting tough!
Although Yuan Xi's words were short, it contained a lot of information and the meaning of Versailles.
In one sentence, he mentioned that Yuan Shao had given the soldiers and horses. This was to show Zhen Yan that he was favored.
Mentioning Zhen Mi meant that he doted on Zhen Mi very much and wanted to get closer to her.
Mentioning Yan Liang hinted that he had connections in the army and could ask for warhorses at will.
Yuan Xi came here today with a purpose. The Zhen family was his wife's maiden family and was a natural helper. Yuan Xi had to obtain the Zhen family's support, so he naturally had to show his strength to Zhen Yan.
If Yuan Xi didn't have the strength, why would Zhen Yan invest in Yuan Xi?
Zhen Yan was stunned when he heard that. He was also stunned by the amount of information contained in Yuan Xi's sentence. He needed to spend some time to sort it out and digest it.
"I thought that it would be good enough for Second Young Master to have 100 cavalrymen as guards. I didn't expect Great General to give him a battalion of soldiers? Judging from the quality of the cavalry today, they were the elites of a battalion!”Zhen Yan was secretly shocked.
"Amongst the four young masters, this is the first to be in charge of weapons, right?”Zhen Yan could not help but let his imagination run wild.
"I see that little sister is very happy beside the second young master. It doesn't seem like she's faking it. Moreover, with little sister's beauty, it's difficult for her not to be doted on.”
"As for his relationship with General Yan Liang, this needs to be investigated…"
Zhen Yan pretended to be surprised and said,"I saw that Second Young Master brought Mi 'er back. Did you bring Mi' er to the military camp?”
Yuan Xi revealed a faint smile on his face. He guessed Zhen Yan's thoughts and nodded generously.
"That's right. Mi 'er is very clingy to me. I have no choice but to bring her along.”
"My younger sister is still young. Second Young Master, please bear with her. I will go and reprimand her in a while.”Zhen Yan feigned anger.
"Hey, hey, hey, brother-in-law, you don't have to be like this.”Yuan Xi waved his hands.
"Second Young Master, please wait a moment.”
"Go ahead." Yuan Xi knew what Zhen Yan was going to do, but he didn't point it out.
After Zhen Yan left the banquet, he couldn't wait to go to the back house to find Zhen Mi.
"Eh? Second Brother, why didn't you drink with your husband?”Zhen Mi asked curiously.
"Little sister, if second brother asks you, you have to tell him the truth.”Zhen Yan said seriously.
Zhen Mi nodded obediently when she saw how serious her second brother was. She didn't know what Zhen Yan wanted to ask.
"Is your relationship with Second Young Master still harmonious? How did Second Young Master treat you?"
"My husband is very good to me! Very, very good!" When Yuan Xi's name was mentioned, Zhen Mi's face was filled with happiness.
Seeing that his sister didn't seem to be faking it, Zhen Yan heaved a sigh of relief and continued to ask,
"You went to the military camp today? The Great General gave the Second Young Master a battalion of soldiers? He even asked General Yan Liang for a warhorse?”
Zhen Yan went straight to the point and asked questions like a cannon. He was afraid that Yuan Xi would be impatient if he waited for too long.
"Yes, yes, second brother, you really have a lot of questions. However, these are all true. My husband brought me along and I saw it with my own eyes.
Alright, Second Brother, you've finished asking. Hurry up and accompany your husband. Don't disturb me and my sister's chat.”
Zhen Mi pushed her brother out of the room and closed the door.
"Although I don't know why Second Brother is asking this, my answer will only be beneficial to Husband.”
Zhen Mi was innocent but not stupid. On the contrary, she had read a lot of books since she was young and was considered a famous talented woman in Hebei. She naturally knew how to answer, which was good for her husband.
Zhen Mi didn't care if she would lure her second brother or trick him.
"The world is big, and husband is the biggest! Second brother? What second brother? "Go away ~ Hehehe ~" Zhen Mi laughed as she thought to herself.
On the other side.
Zhen Yan got the answer he wanted and hurried back to the front hall.
"My apologies, my apologies for making Second Young Master wait.”Zhen Yan repeatedly apologized after entering the house.
"Hey, it's okay. We're all family. There's no need to be so polite.”Yuan Xi waved his hand and said.
When Zhen Yan heard this, he felt even more satisfied and quickly pulled the relationship between the two sides closer.
After they sat down again, Yuan Xi took the lead and asked,""What position does brother-in-law hold now?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhen Yan's face as he said,"Chief Qu Liang."
Yuan Xi knew that Zhen Yan's official position was not high, but he did not expect it to be so low. It was so low that Yuan Xi was shocked.
"Why is he only a small county magistrate? Isn't this a waste of talent?"
" Sigh…" Zhen Yan sighed." There's nothing we can do about it. It's already very good to start as a county magistrate."”
"I can't just be the prefect as soon as I come up. That would be against the rules.”
Yuan Xi understood immediately. The officialdom was about experience.
Even when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were officials, they would at most start as county magistrates and then rise to the top.
If Zhen Yu hadn't died, his official position wouldn't have just been a county magistrate. However, before Zhen Yu could grow up, he died.
When Zhen Yan ascended the throne, he would have to start all over again, starting from the position of county magistrate.
An official position was not a title of nobility. This thing could not be inherited by the son after the death of the father.
