Chapter 83 Receiving Yuan Wei's Family
In Zhang Yu's eyes, Fang Ying's beauty is the best in the world.
Zhang Yu thought that marrying Fang Ying as his wife was the most correct decision. Fang Ying was not only beautiful but also virtuous. When Zhang Yu went out, he kept his family in an orderly manner and handed over to Fang Ying to take care of him. Zhang Yu could let go of a hundred hearts.
Zhang Yu thought that if she married Chen Shin's granddaughter as her wife, she would not talk about anything else, just because she was too young, so Zhang Yu felt that she was not capable of stewards for the time being. The Chen family was a great scholar. Die'er had read a lot of books since she was a child and looked very beautiful, just like a painting. Zhang Yu also liked it from the bottom of his heart.
Fang Ying suggested that Zhang Yu discuss the specific date of marrying Die'er with Die'er's father Chen Qun.
After Zhang Yu coaxed the little princess to fall asleep, he went to Fang Ying's room.
In the morning, Zhang Yu used the success value to exchange for bedding, etc. After decorating each room, he went to the base to hold a meeting.
Zhang Yu informed everyone of the situation of the emperor issuing an imperial edict to establish express companies in various prefectures and counties to join Yuwangting Express Company to transport timber and arborite for the emperor. He asked the company to select personnel to strengthen the management of the Luoyang branch, and this work is under the responsibility of General Fang Shuo.
During the meeting, Zhang Yu used the success value to supplement salt and grain for the warehouse.
He also used success values to exchange for corn, potato, cotton, pumpkin, pepper and various modern vegetable seeds, and asked the deputy agricultural manager Li Xiang to transport the seeds to the prisoners' military farms to plant them.
After returning to the conference room, Zhang Yu put forward new requirements for agricultural production, pointing out that once the new seeds were successfully tested, it would greatly enrich the people's dining tables and make a lot of money. Zhang Yu emphasized the need to expand the mulberry planting area and regard silkworm raising as the most important agricultural work. Zhang Yu told everyone that in the future, the five-bead money will be worthless, and the function of silk will be equivalent to currency. Work must be taken first, and silk should be raised as much as possible to weave silkworms into textiles.
The entire Yuwang Township became Zhang Yu's fief. In the future, prisoners will be captured. In addition to expanding the team, they will mainly be used for land reclamation and farming in Yuwang Township.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yu talked to Chen Qun in the study.
Now Zhang Yu is the boss of a express delivery company, the leader of a big family, the general of Pingnan, the marquis of the Yuwang Township, the emperor's favorite minister, and the representative of scholars. He is only twenty-three years old. At this rate, how many years will it take to develop? The future is limitless.
When Zhang Yu married Fang Ying, the daughter of the Fang family, many people in the Chen family complained about Zhang Yu, so how could they still complain now? Everyone was looking forward to marrying Die'er to Zhang Yu quickly, in case that they would be snatched away by other big families.
As Die'er's father, Chen Qun is particularly concerned about Die'er's marriage.
Zhang Yu asked Chen Qun for a private chat, and Chen Qun quickly seized the opportunity to mention marriage.
Chen Qun smiled and said, "Leader, you have a lot of things to do every day. I am so worried that you will not have time to handle the marriage in the future. Can you marry Die'er and get the marriage done recently?"
The purpose of Zhang Yu looking for Chen Qun was to talk to him about marrying Die'er. Chen Qun took the initiative to propose it, and Zhang Yu was very happy.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I will indeed be busier in the future. I need to run between Yangdi and Luoyang. Not only do I have to lead a large family alliance and eliminate the bandits, but I also have to urge all states and counties to establish express companies and join our company. Yuan Weigong will come in the next few days, and I have to do a good job in reception. Mr. Chen has this intention, and I am very grateful to me. We are a family and can discuss anything. If you agree, I want to immediately get married to Die'er after receiving Mr. Yuan Weigong. I wonder what the public opinion is."
Chen Qunmei smiled and said, "It's just my wish, but the preparations are too hasty and there is no time to inform friends of good news."
Zhang Yu said: "Mr. Chen, just inform your friends from the three counties of Runan, Nanyang, Yingchuan. I thought I would be exempted from Luoyang and other areas."
Chen Qun nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay! I will go home to discuss with Aweng and grandfather tonight and set the wedding date."
Chen Yu is the leader of famous scholars and masters from far and near. The Chen family is all famous and well-known. Zhang Yu must discuss with the Chen family when marrying Die'er.
Although Die'er can only be a concubine, the etiquette and bride price must be in place. The Chen family pays attention to face, and Zhang Yu must do a very good job in this regard to satisfy the Chen family's vanity.
In that era, who is married to a daughter is of great importance. Marriage is the union of two families, and the love between children is the second.
If he married the daughter of an inappropriate family, the consequences would be very serious. Just like Xun Yu, who married the daughter of the former Zhongchang Shi Tang Heng, now Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang, the adopted daughter, which caused him to speak among the scholars without making a sound, and he was unable to get a generous dowry and fell second.
If Zhang Yu could marry Die'er, he would be able to marry a great reputation and become the core of respect for famous scholars in the world.
In terms of marriage, Xun Yu and Zhang Yu will feel ashamed of himself.
Of course, although Xun Yu is famous now, his strength has not been proven yet. Compared with Zhang Yu, he is far behind. However, Xun Yu in the future, especially Xun Yu who joined Cao Cao, is amazing. In Cao Cao's group, he has been one person and the biggest man above ten thousand people for a long time.
A few days later, the Allied forces attacked more than 5,000 bandits entrenched in Jishan at the foot of Jishan. With just one order, more than 2,000 Allied forces would pounce on him.
This battle is of great significance, only victory is allowed, not failure is allowed. Because Zhang Yu wanted Yuan Wei to go and observe and let Yuan Wei see the combat effectiveness of the big family alliance. Zhang Yu attached great importance to Yuan Wei's visit and would not be a little negligent just because Yuan Wei was temporarily dismissed from Han Ling Emperor, because Zhang Yu knew that half of the officials in the court were former officials of the Yuan family, and Yuan Wei was not a senior official of the Three Dukes, and still had a significant influence on the court. At present, Zhang Yu knew that there were many benefits to making friends with Yuan.
At noon that day, Yuan Wei finally led a large group of Yuan to Yangdi. General Zhang Yu of Pingnan, governor Wang Yun, prefect of Yingchuan, prefect of Runan Yang Qi of Runan, and prefect of Nanyang Qin Jie of Nanyang came to Yangdi. At the invitation of General Zhang Yu of Pingnan, he came to discuss the campaign to eliminate the bandits.
All twenty-five members of the Yuan family lived in Zhang Yu's house, leaving only a small number of personal maids and men to serve. More than 300 other people were led by retainers, and under Yuan Mei, they went to Runan.
Yuan Wei felt very proud of having so many senior officials greeted him.
In the reception room of Zhang Yu's house, Yuan Wei sat in the main seat, Zhang Yu, Yuan Shao and others sat in the guest seat, and listened to Yuan Wei's speech.
Yuan Wei's face was flushed and his face was smiling.
Yuan Wei said: "In Luoyang, I am looking forward to staying at the home of Zhang Yu, the General Pingnan of Yangdi. Luoyang is full of legends about Zhang Yu's home. Today, I see it as a fairy scene."
Yuan Shao smiled and gave Zhang Yu a thumbs up, and Zhang Yu responded with a smile.
Yuan Wei said: "The Huanghu bandits were wiped out by Zhang Yu alone, and the world was shocked. I came here this time and wanted to see how Zhang Yu could wipe out the bandits in Jishan."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is resting first. The Allies have prepared to attack at the foot of Ji Mountain. With just one order, the Allies will enter the mountain and annihilate all the bandits."
Yuan Wei laughed loudly. Zhang Yu's words were not only full of heroism, but also praised Yuan Wei very much, making Yuan Wei feel excited.
Yuan Wei opened his talk and began to speak endlessly as an elder.
The luncheon was held in the private room, and the rest of Yuan's family held in the restaurant.
The dining tables were placed on the dining tables of modern five-star hotels. Yuan Wei was extremely shocked after seeing them.
The table was filled with delicacies and sea of delicacies, and Maotai was poured into a glass and the strong fragrance filled the room.
Yuan Wei looked at Zhang Yu as if he was looking at the gods. Could this be the banquet of gods in the Yaochi in the sky?
The reactions of Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao and others were expected by Zhang Yu. After Zhang Yu had a drink with everyone for a while, he walked out of the box with his glasses and went to the restaurant to toast.
Yuan Shao accompanied him with a wine glass.
Yuan Ji's daughter sat at the same table with the little princess Fang Ying.
The little princess pestered Yuan Ji's daughter and insisted that she stayed at Zhang Yu's house to play with her. In the past, Yuan Ji's daughter often followed Yuan Ji to the palace to play and was very familiar with the little princess. Yuan Ji's daughter wanted to live in Zhang Yu's house for a long time! But on the surface, she had to say that she could go back to her hometown in Runan to worship her ancestors, and could not play with the little princess.
Fang Ying didn't know that Zhang Yu had already had a secret conversation with Yuan Ji's daughter when she was in Luoyang? Fang Ying kept a reserved smile and did not express her opinion. At this table, Fang Ying was the hostess, and she was so generous that she could really suppress the situation. The little princess didn't dare to make a fuss with Fang Ying.
As soon as Zhang Yu entered the restaurant, the little princess immediately ran towards Zhang Yu and asked Zhang Yu to hug him.
Zhang Yu picked up the little princess, and the little princess kissed Zhang Yu's face repeatedly.
Zhang Yu happily sent everyone a toast and welcomed the Yuan family.
Zhang Yu held the little princess with one hand and toasted everyone with the other hand. He smiled, raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass all in one go.
Zhang Yu walked to Fang Ying naturally and whispered: "Take good care of everyone."
Fang Ying nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Yu asked the male servant to fill the wine glass with wine and toast Yuan Ji's daughter alone.
Yuan Ji's daughter quickly stood up holding the teacup in both hands and saluted Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I always live in your house in Luoyang. Master Zun has helped me a lot. In the past, Master Zun bought a company land for me, and recently he has been buying horses for me. When I come to my house, I must not see you, and must eat and drink well."
