The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

New Year's greetings to everyone, I wish everyone a happy new year with the spirit of Longma and the family.

——

Without further ado, Xun Zhen asked Chen Bao to return to the pavilion first, and then went home to get the money. He knew that Cheng Yan's refusal to say this must be for the sake of face, so he told Chen Bao not to tell the people in the house. After going back and forth for hundreds of miles, it was already night when he came back. Instead of looking in front of everyone, he found an opportunity to hand over the money to Cheng Yan alone.

Cheng Yan initially refused, but after Xun Zhen asked, "Do you want to pay off your debt with your wife?", he hesitated to accept it.

Xun Zhen said to him: "The sooner the money is paid back, the better. You can go home tomorrow, don't rush back, stay a few more days, and spend a few days with your wife. When you were away, the Gao family went again. It's really hard for her."

Cheng Yan was very grateful, bowed his head, and said, "Xunjun is very kind, the villain dare not say anything in return, from now on, the humble body will be driven by the king!"

Xun Zhen smiled slightly.

After many days of problems were solved at once, Cheng Yan showed a long-lost smile on his face, no longer alone at night, and ate with everyone. Early the next morning, before dawn, he got up, borrowed a horse, and galloped back home facing the dawn.

Du Mai, Huang Zhong, and Fan's brothers noticed his changes, and they were inexplicable and inexplicable. Du Mai vaguely guessed something, and asked Chen Bao, but Chen Bao smiled but did not answer, and asked Xun Zhen, but Xun Zhen only laughed.

No need to practice today.

After breakfast, Xun Zhen wanted to inspect the pavilion, but was stopped by Du Mai. He smiled and said: "Xun Jun has been training his soldiers for days, and he has worked hard. Today, I will take a day off, and we will inspect it." He took the Fan brothers out very actively.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, and the morning sun was shining brightly, Chen Bao took out the chess and invited Xun Zhen to fight. Huang Zhong moved a "husit" and sat on the side to watch with a smile. Xu Ji also came out of the backyard and stood beside Chen Bao, giving him advice.

Xun Zhen "invented" chess for many days, and everyone in Tingshe learned it, and so did Xu Ji. He has a smart temperament, not only has learned it, but his level is not low. He is second only to Xun Zhen and Chen Bao. He has played against Du Mai and Cheng Yan and won ten games in ten games.

Everyone was playing chess in the front yard, and a group of chariots and horses passed by outside the courtyard gate.

Huang Zhong went out to have a look, then came back and said to Xun Zhen, "Mr. Xun, it's the high lord from a few days ago."

"Gao Jun?"

"It is Ruyang Gaojun who borrowed the dormitory and splashed ink to destroy the handwriting of Runan Yuanjun."

Xun Zhen raised her head, glanced outside the door, said "Oh" without saying a word, lowered her head heavily, and focused on the chess game.

Church apprentice, starved to death master. Chen Baoling is clever, flexible in mind, and he knows three things, and his chess skills have skyrocketed. If he wants to defeat him, Xun Zhen has become more difficult from the first effortless effort.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Xun Zhen felt distressed about the rook that had just been captured, and thought, "Although I have been lucky enough to still have a winning streak, Ah Bao's chess is getting better and better." With the reputation of maintaining an undefeated streak, he wondered if it was time to refuse to fight Chen Bao again.

The horses were neighing outside the house, and the two rider slaves left the convoy, turned to the front of the house, dismounted, and strode in.

Huang Zhong greeted him and said with a smile: "Is the person passing by Ruyang noble? I don't know what order?"

"Come to find your pavilion."

Xun Zhen was helpless, so she raised her head again and got up to greet her. Seeing that the two cavalry slaves were slightly familiar, it seemed that they had spoken to each other when Zhou Xun came last time. He saluted with a long bow, and said, "Your lord is back? Please tell me what your orders are."

Qi Nu remembered him and said with a smile, "Mr. Ting Chang, are you playing Liu Bo?" He didn't take a close look at the chess game. Then he said, "It's nothing to do, but the owner asked us to see if the poems left behind are still there."

When Zhou Xun came last time, he splashed ink and ruined Yuan Fen's poems, and told Xun Zhen not to move. The names of these two rider slaves were called "Seeing Poetry", and Xun Zhen knew it, but they must have come to check the "splashing ink". He thought to himself, "This surnamed Zhou seems arrogant, but why is he so stingy?" After returning home, he did not forget to send someone to check.

"Your lord's poem, I'm waiting for a word. Please come with me." He led two knights to the backyard, opened the door, and let them go in to check.

Sure enough, the first thing the two of them saw was the large piece of ink that bloomed like plum blossoms. Your walls are also considered your blessings."

Xun Zhen smiled and said nothing, sent the two of them out and looked at the door of the house.

The team of people and horses had already passed by, and they saw the brocade-clothed slave from last time walking beside a carriage. The two cavalry slaves drove their horses over, talked a few times, stretched out a hand in the car, waved, and the cavalry slaves returned to the queue. He shook his head, heard Chen Bao's greeting, and went back to play chess.

...

This is a rare leisure day.

I played chess for a long time in the morning, and in the afternoon I sat under the tree and talked with my mother Xu. Xu Ji went home again yesterday and got a volume of "Spring and Autumn" from somewhere, knelt under the tree, studied it seriously, and asked Xun Zhen for advice when in doubt.

In the Spring and Autumn Annals, Xun Zhen had a family study. His uncle Xun Shuang, who read "Spring and Autumn" at the age of twelve, the famous scholar Du Qiao praised: "It can be a teacher." His elder brother Xun Yue was also twelve years old and could speak "Spring and Autumn". Although Xun Zhen's attainments in scriptures were not as good as those of his uncle and brother~www.novelmt.com~, in the end, he had studied with Xun Qu for many years, and it was more than enough to give Xu Ji some guidance.

Seeing their friendship, Mother Xu was so happy that she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of Xu Zhong. Xun Zhen comforted her eloquently, and immediately made her laugh.

At dusk, the Du Mai and Fan family brothers returned from inspection. Fan Tan brought a fat hare and came to the backyard to present a treasure.

"Where did it come from?"

"I met the son of the Feng family on the way. He just returned from hunting, and he gained a lot. He gave us this hare."

"Young Master Feng?" Xun Zhen thought of the young man who went to watch the drill for two days in a row, and thought, "Being a father is arrogant and rude, and being a son is a way to send hares. This father and son are really strange." I couldn't figure out what the young son of the Feng family meant, so I didn't want to, and smiled and said to Xu mother, "I'm really greedy if I don't know the taste of meat for three days. Mom, make a good pot of soup at night, you should drink a few more bowls!"

Mother Xu lost more than half of her teeth, and she didn't eat much meat, so she could drink more soup.

Everyone chatted and laughed and walked to the front yard. Under the twilight, one person bowed his head and led his horse, and came in from outside the courtyard.

"Ayan? Why are you back? Didn't I tell you to stay at home for a few more days?"

Cheng Yan led the horse into the stable without making a sound, and squatted outside the stable with his head in his arms.

Xun Zhen was very surprised. She walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" She looked back at the people, motioned them to leave, and asked in a low voice, "...But the money is not enough? How much is it? Let me tell you."

With a "thump", Cheng Yan fell to his knees, kowtowed and shouted, "Jun Xun, please save me!"

Xun Zhen was startled by him, and her thoughts turned: "Could it be that the Gao family was so arrogant that Ayan couldn't stand it for a while and hurt people?" She said, "What are you doing! Get up quickly. What's going on? Speak slowly."

"The Gao family won't ask for money, just my wife!"
