Chapter 286 Disagreement
After meeting Yan Xiang and others, Sun Ce led Yuan Quan to see Cai Yong again. Cai Yong had a close relationship with the Yuan family and could be regarded as the elder of Yuan Shu. This time he came to preside over the funeral for Yuan Shu, which was to give Yuan Shu a great face. He did not need to pay homage to Yuan Quan, but Yuan Quan had to pay homage to him.
After the ceremony, each got on the car. At this time, Yuan Quan said to Sun Ce, "I have arranged for someone to camp outside the city, so you will live there."
Sun Ce was very surprised. "Why, can't these people live in the city?"
Yuan Quan smiled bitterly. "You settle down first, and I'll talk to you in detail."
Sun Ce did not say anything and followed Yuan Quan to the selected location. The tent had been set up there, and the men led by Lei Bo and Chen Lan lived there. Sun Ce entered the camp, and the tents were all new, the place was quite spacious, and the facilities were complete.
Sun Ce stood in the big tent, looked left and right, and always felt uncomfortable. He rushed to Ruyang from afar, and he didn't even allow the city to enter, so he lived in a military camp outside the city?
"Do you regret it?" Yuan Quan walked over with Yuan Heng's hand.
"It's indeed a bit." Sun Ce touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Your Yuan family is worthy of being a wealthy family, with strict etiquette and strict law."
"We can't blame them. The cycle of reincarnation is all due retribution, just sooner or later. Although family scandals should not be made public, in order to make you mentally prepared, I simply expose the family scandals so that you can't have any unrealistic expectations."
Sun Ce rolled his eyes. This was not bad, at least better than Yuan Shu's cheating guy.
"Okay, I'll listen carefully." Sun Ce sent Yuan Quan into the tent and ordered Pang Tong to cook a pot of chrysanthemum tea. After a while, the fragrance was filled with fragrance. Yuan Quan introduced the situation of the Yuan family to Sun Ce in the fragrance of flowers.
Many people only saw the Yuan family's Xuan He reputation, but few people noticed the division within the Yuan family. Yuan An was famous for his virtues, and his descendants also produced many famous scholars, such as Yuan Jing and Yuan Chang, the second generation, were all known for his knowledge and had good official reputations. Although Yuan Peng, Yuan Tang and others of the third generation, were not as knowledge as their fathers and grandchildren, they could always keep themselves in their own hands, but their family style was already relaxed. Sun Ce was roughly familiar with the situation of the fourth generation of children - Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei, and the fifth generation - Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, so there is no need for Yuan Quan to say more.
But not all the Yuan family members are like this. There are also those who stick to family traditions and refuse to follow customs, such as Yuan Peng's descendants. These people take the initiative to keep a distance from Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei and others, live in their hometown in Ruyang, and do not go to Luoyang, and even if they become officials, they are unwilling to contact Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei. Among them, Yuan Hong is the most typical. In order to show that the descendants of Yuan's family are not all like Yuan Feng and others, he sealed himself in the earthen room and never went out until his death. Although his younger brother Yuan Zhong and Yuan Hong were not as exaggerated as him, they also consciously maintained their moral integrity.
According to Confucian patriarchal law, Yuan Peng is the eldest son of Yuan Jing. Among the current children of the Yuan family, the Yuan Hong brothers are the main lords, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are incomparable. In the world, Yuan Shao is the head of the Yuan family. In his hometown in Ruyang, they are the representatives of the Yuan family.
Yuan Shu's ancestral home is from Ruyang, but he was neither born in Ruyang nor lived in Ruyang. Sister Yuan Quan returned home in Fengzi, and the Yuan family made a yard for them to live in. Although their surname is Yuan, everyone was not from the same place. If it weren't for Yuan Shu's death, no one would pay attention to them.
Yuan Quan was very tactful and knew that a yard was not enough to live in, so he could only arrange for Sun Ce to set up camp outside the city.
"I feel wronged by the general." Yuan Quan apologized again.
After hearing Yuan Quan's explanation, Sun Ce wanted to cry without tears. He had long known that Yuan Shu had limited appeal and could not be compared with Yuan Shao, but he did not expect it to be so bad. This is not a legacy, it is simply a negative asset. No wonder when Yuan Shu was elected as emperor in history, Sun Ce immediately drew a clear line with him.
My father, Sun Jian, had a way of fighting, and his vision of choosing a leader was really not very good. But then again, he had no choice. No matter how bad Yuan Shu's reputation was, he was a few levels stronger than the Sun family. Although he was working hard to manage Nanyang now, he was always better than his father in Yuzhou. According to Pang Shanmin, so far, no famous scholar in Runan and Yingchuan took the initiative to surrender to Sun Jian, but Sun Jian's tent was still Cheng Pu and Han Dang, and there was no drop of fresh blood. The only adviser was Pang Shanmin, who could not be separated for a moment, so Pang Shanmin immediately rushed back to Yingchuan after handling the matter of Wancheng.
Although the foundation left by Yuan Shu is weak, it cannot be said that there is nothing left, such as Yan Xiang.
"I'm fine. Anyway, I probably won't come to Ruyang after sending the general into the ground. What should you do? Will you stay here all the time?"
"What else can it be done?"
"Follow me. I can at least ensure your safety."
"There will be no war in Runan for the time being, right? Even if my uncle fights, he will never attack us sisters."
"The situation is complicated now, and I can't say it." Sun Ce said the general situation and finally said: "Liu Xun and others refused to come to the funeral. They must be determined to vote for the leader Yuan. The life and death of the noble husband Huang Yi is unknown. If he also supports Liu Xun, it would be better if he has protected you, you will not be humiliated. If he dies unyieldingly, I don't know if Liu Xun will be detrimental to you."
Yuan Quan frowned slightly and pondered silently. Yuan Heng leaned beside her, staring at Sun Ce with his big eyes.
"Please let me think about it again, General."
Sun Ce hesitated for a while and nodded reluctantly. "No problem."
Yuan Quan sighed softly. "Please don't misunderstand, it's not that I want to withdraw when I see the situation is difficult. It's because my brother's life and death is not clear. My father has no heirs after his death, and there is not even a person to guard the tomb. It's a pity. After three years of mourning, no matter where the general is, I will send my sister to see the general and fulfill my father's last wish."
Sun Ce smiled bitterly. Three years later, Yuan Heng was only thirteen years old. According to the habits of this era, he could get married, but I couldn't accept it at all. There is no difference between whether you give it or not. The current crisis is the most troublesome thing. History has deviated from the track, and no one knows what the next situation is. He is unwilling to cause trouble. Seeing that the sisters of Yuan Quan fell into the hands of Liu Xun and others, adding unexpected trouble to Jingzhou next. If Huang Yi defected to Liu Xun again and turned against him, who knows what choice Yuan Quan would make?
This time he came to Ruyang to attend the funeral for Yuan Shu, and it was the main thing to keep them in his hands. However, if Yuan Quan wanted to guard the tomb for Yuan Shu, he really couldn't find a suitable reason to persuade him, so he had to give up for the time being and finish the funeral first. He couldn't have the talks collapsed as soon as he met. Anyway, he had to wait for Sun Jian's news and stay in Ruyang for a while.
"You guys go back in that carriage." Sun Ce said: "I tried it, it's not bad."
Yuan Quan's voice was very calm, but his eyes were very sharp. "Is it Miss Achu's invention?"
Sun Ce raised his eyebrows lightly, blinked his eyes, and wanted to laugh but didn't laugh. When talking to Yuan Quan, he always felt like he was not wearing underwear, and she could see everything clearly. He touched his nose guiltily, indicating that he agreed.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Yuan Quan touched Yuan Heng's head lovingly. "My father was ridiculous all his life and finally did the most wise thing. However, Aheng was young and was unfair to the general. Miss Achu was smart and talented and could help the general fulfill his father's last wish. Our sisters knew to be grateful. The general wanted to take her as a concubine, and he could do it any time, as long as it was etiquette and not mess with his superiors and inferiors. What do you think?"
Sun Ce sighed. "Sister, you have said everything, what else can I say? Sister, if you are a man, you will definitely be better than blue than blue, and each generation is stronger than the next."
Yuan Quan, who had been sitting upright and was serious, glaring at Sun Ce, finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
"Are you praising me or scolding me?"
