Luoyang, Sikong Manor.
After Yuan Feng woke up, he thought about it and immediately called Uncle Fu to tell Yuan Kui,"Cough, cough! Uncle Fu, go and tell Fourth Brother that I'm not feeling well today and can't go to court. I'll have to take a three-day leave.”
"Yes! Master…I think it's better to let the physician take a look?”Although Uncle Fu was old, his eyes were not blind. He had entered the Yuan Residence since he was young and had worked for most of his life. He had watched Yuan Feng grow up. To him, Yuan Feng was like his own child.
"Cough! No need. I know my own body. It's enough for me to live to this age. I don't know when I'll go down to see my father (Yuan Tang). Right now, I'm most worried about the continuation of the family. Even if I become an official, I'll still be in a place full of fireworks and willows all day long. I can't be of great use. However, Benchu was able to restrain himself and even personally go to Qiao Country to look for talents. No matter what the future holds, I believe Benchu can make a difference in this chaotic world. By the way, Uncle Fu, how many years have you been in the Yuan Residence?”Yuan Feng recalled the past and was filled with emotions.
"Replying to Old Master, this old servant entered the Yuan Residence at the age of fifteen. It has been…forty-eight years.”Barkley seemed to recall the past as he sighed.
"That's right. You have been in the Yuan Residence since before my great-uncle's time. It's not easy... How about this? You can ask your grandson, Yuan Ping, to go to Jizhou with you and take charge of the business there. Uncle Fu, go to the storeroom and take out 500 horseshoe gold, 800 horseshoe silver, 30,000 stones of grain rice (fine millet), and 1,100 stones of salt. When Ben Chu comes back in a few days, ask him to bring them all to Ji Province.”
"…I know." When Uncle Fu heard this, he was extremely shocked. As someone who was in charge of the daily expenses of the Yuan Residence, he knew that this was half of the savings of the Yuan Residence in Luoyang.
"If you have time…ask Mr. Fang to come over. This old man has something to…talk to Mr. Fang!”Yuan Feng's originally old body suddenly erupted with the aura of a person who had been in power for a long time. Confidence! Sharp Intent!
"This old servant…understands." Barkley left.
In the willow forest, thousands of willows fluttered in the wind.
Xu Da and Su Lie stood quietly under the willow forest, looking at the place where they had sworn their brotherhood that day in silence.
"Tiande. Dingfang, so you guys are really here. Was Xuanling telling the truth?”Du Ji walked over slowly.
"So it's the marquis. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?”Xu Da saw that it was Du Ji. In these few days, they had been constantly communicating with Du Ji, and they were all sighing at the other party's intelligence and wisdom. It was a very simple word, admiration!
"Why did you sleep so much? "You guys are…" Du Ji looked at the willow forest, and doubts rose in his heart.
"This is the place where we became brothers of the opposite sex. It was also that day. I will never forget it.”Su Lie began to reminisce.
"That's right. Da Ben is just a farmer. Big Brother was born into a noble family, but he didn't despise me. He was willing to live and die with me and Third Brother.”
"I really miss Big Brother." They had only been separated for a few days, but Su Lie's longing for Yuan Shao became even stronger.
"My lord, you have great ambition and foresight. I believe that with the help of your brothers, you will definitely become a prime minister in the future.”Du Ji had always believed in his own judgment. Yuan Shao was the wise ruler he had been waiting for.
"Earl, where did Mister go?" Su Lie didn't see Fang Qiao, so he asked.
"It depends…on Deacon Yuan? What's the matter?" Du Ji didn't have much understanding of Sikong Yuan Feng.
"…It's a good thing!" Xu Da looked into the distance and muttered.
" Second Brother, could it be…" Su Lie heard this and seemed to have thought of something. His eyes suddenly widened in anger.
"Deacon Yuan…is a good father!" After Xu Da said that, he shut his mouth.
"Tiande. Dingfang, what kind of riddles are you talking about? No…perhaps this would be helpful in the early stages of development?”Although Du Ji's resourcefulness was not high, as an outstanding politician, he could still associate some things with it.

"Old Master, Mr. Fang is here." Uncle Fu stood outside the door and reported to Yuan Feng.
In the room, the fragrance of tea filled the air. A table was placed in the middle, with two embroidered stools on the left and right. The tea set was neatly placed on the table, and the porcelain bottle containing the tea leaves was placed at the side.
"Please invite Mr. Fang in." Yuan Feng knelt on the embroidered stool and said to the door.
"Mr. Fang, please!" Uncle Fu respectfully pushed open the door and gestured for Fang Xuanling to enter.
Fang Xuanling nodded politely at Uncle Fu before walking in. Seeing Yuan Feng sitting on the embroidered stool, he bowed to him."Deacon Yuan!"
"Mr. Fang, please take a seat." Yuan Feng gestured for Fang Xuanling to sit down.
Fang Xuanling quietly sat down and didn't say anything. He picked up the porcelain teacup in front of him and took a sip. He revealed an intoxicated expression."Good tea. Deacon Yuan is really in the mood."
"Good tea needs good tea leaves, just like people. An outstanding person naturally needs an outstanding teacher to teach him. What do you think? Mr. Fang." Yuan Feng said with a double meaning.
Fang Xuanling stared at Yuan Feng with his bright eyes. After a long while, he said,"Joe... I'd love to!"
"Cough! Alright, Mr. Fang, I…might not be able to survive this winter. I'll leave the rest to you. If I offended you in any way, please forgive me.”Yuan Kui hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and used a lot of strength to finish his sentence. He was like an old man who was about to step into his coffin and leave his last words.
"…In my lifetime, I will definitely help my lord ascend to the position of dukedom. Deacon Yuan, please rest assured.”After a moment of silence, Fang Qiao stood up and bowed respectfully to Yuan Feng, making a promise.
"Alright, with your wisdom, I can rest assured that you will help me. By the way, Pei Xiong, the head of the powerful Pei family in Bohai Prefecture, is one of my disciples. If you have any difficulties in Bohai, please show this to me. Pei Xiong will help you.”Yuan Feng took out a piece of jade from his sleeve with trembling hands and handed it to Fang Qiao.
"Thank you Deacon Yuan for your kind intentions.”Fang Xuanling took the jade pendant.
"This old man is not feeling well and cannot have a long chat with Mister. Mister, please go back.”After saying that, Yuan Feng walked into the house.
"Deacon Yuan, take good care of yourself.”Fang Qiao waved his long sleeves and walked out of the door.
——
Outside Chen Liu City.
Time passed quietly. sunrise and set, and the afterglow of the setting sun scattered across the earth.
Yuan Shao and Xu Chu rode on their warhorses and gazed into the distance.
Xu Ding rode his horse over." My lord, our brothers are ready. When do you think we can set off?"”
" I'm still waiting…" Yuan Shao did not turn his head. His eyes were looking out, waiting for Dian Wei's figure.
"Yes!"
Fifteen minutes later, the sound of a carriage could be heard from afar. A carriage was approaching from afar…
"Lord, look, it's Brother Dian!" Xu Chu immediately recognized Dian Wei.
"My lord! My lord! Ah! I'm back!" Dian Wei's unique loud voice rang out. He was driving the carriage with his left hand while waving his right hand at Yuan Shao.
"O(Empyrean_Empyrean)O Haha ~ Welcome home, Dian Wei.”Yuan Shao hurriedly urged his horse forward.
"Phew!" Dian Wei suddenly pulled the reins to stop the horse. He jumped off the carriage and ran to Yuan Shao. He knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists."Lord, I'm back!"
"Good! It's good that you're back. Let me see sister-in-law and your son.”
