Chapter 043 The First Test

"At the family dinner, my uncle's family will come." Yuan Zheng saw Yan Nang calm and calm down. "You don't have to be nervous. If someone asks you about your origin, the answer is as we agreed. They live in Dongqianyuan and should not have any intersection with you on weekdays, so don't care too much."

Yan Nan nodded. Why was this man so big? He pulled her down a lot while talking and followed quickly.

The family banquet is set up in the open hall behind Zhaoming Hall.

Just Mrs. Yuan Er and Master Yuan Er were having tea in the flower hall, but Master Yuan and the people from the big room had not arrived yet.

As soon as they saw them, they came up to greet Yan Nan, and surrounded Yuan Zheng and asked about the story along the way.

When he heard that he had gone to Youzhou, Mrs. Yuan was so shocked that her face turned pale. "Amitabha" and "Taishang Laojun" kept reciting.

Yan Nan laughed secretly and sat down by the little maid in green. While taking the tea, she looked around the furnishings.

There is a complete set of yellow rosewood furniture in the hall, with complex and atmospheric carvings and few decorative objects. There are only two high tables a pair of beauty bottles, two cranes, longevity turtle and fragrant tripods in the corner of the hall wall, and the tea set is an extremely ordinary Ru kiln white glaze ink-washed four gentlemen. A nine-headed glazed gilt palace lantern hanging high on the top of the hall table, which is particularly exquisite and rare.

There is also wealth and honor, but it doesn’t seem to match the reputation of the Taishi Mansion.

Yan Nan looked at the sparse maids and mothers in the house again. Their clothes were half old and their hairpins were minimally simple, and they felt a secret in their hearts.

This Taishi Mansion was either extremely frugal or had no money.

Just as I was thinking, a large group of people came in.

Master Yuan walked in front, and after receiving the greeting from Yan Nan and others, he sat down at the top.

Yan Nan raised her eyes and saw another "Master Yuan Er" coming from behind Master Yuan, a thin version, or a handsome version.

It was the first time she knew that the two sons of Master Yuan were twins!

Yuan Zheng hurriedly stood up and greeted the person who came.

Master Yuan, who had almost the same facial features as Master Yuan Er, had a majestic expression and scolded Yuan Zheng for a few words before letting him go.

Mrs. Yuan had a stern face, a particularly high nose, and a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth. She sat upright beside Mr. Yuan.

Yan Nan was secretly funny. The couple was serious and the other was old-fashioned. They looked quite suitable. I don’t know what the child they gave birth to would be.

Just as they were thinking, they saw two women of different beauty standing behind Mrs. Yuan, one was charming and the other was a jassic girl. They stepped forward to help cloth tea. After serving tea, the two came to Yuan Zheng and bowed together, "The Fourth Master is back!"

Yuan Zheng bowed: "Auntie Mei, Auntie Yu."

Yan Nan was shocked. Master Yuan, who looked old and pedantic, actually had two beautiful concubines!

Master Yuan glanced at the door and asked, "Where are brothers Jun'er?"

Mrs. Yuan immediately stood up and replied, "I have sent someone to call me, but I think I have been delayed by something."

As soon as he finished speaking, two young men came in at the door.

"Grandfather! Second Uncle!" The leader's body is tall and handsome, with clear facial features. Although it is not as handsome as Yuan Zheng, it has a bit more elegant spirit. He looks gentle and elegant.

The facial features behind him looked very similar to Master Yuan, a little short and taciturn.

The two of them had seen the etiquette with Master Yuan and the other to Yuan Dayuan Er. Master Yuan introduced Yan Nan to the Dafang family.

The two brothers came to Yuan Zheng with a smile.

Yuan Zheng stood up, clasped his fists to the two and said, "Second brother, third brother."

Yan Nan had already met the number as Yuan Zheng told me. The handsome one was Master Yuan, who was born in a vassal. It seemed that Aunt Mei should have been born, and the mature one was Master Yuan, who was born in a legitimate manner.

The adults chatted, from what Yuan Zheng saw and heard in Youzhou to the reactions of all parties in the court.

The three brothers here formed a group.

Master Yuan took out a book from his arms and laughed so well, "Fourth brother, long time no see! We were late, but hesitated whether we should bring this book to you."

Yan Nan sat next to Yuan Zheng, raised her head slightly and looked at the cover of the book, "Yu Liaozi"!

This set of books is found in Brother Yuan’s library!

"Second brother, look at it. This is a legendary military book that I and my third brother have found in Boguzhai. It is extremely rare. You are old now. If you want to go out to find a military position, in addition to practicing archery and boxing, you have to learn about military strategy and strategy. Just keep it quietly. If your second aunt knows that we will give you this, you may have to complain to your mother again. But."

He smiled and looked at Yuan San behind him, "Your third brother said that this book was probably compiled by later generations and was not the original work, so we hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether we should give it to you."

Yuan Sanyi added seriously: "I heard that there are so many fakes in this book. After I took it home, I read it roughly. If it is a regular work, I would give a tribute to my fourth brother. If it is a fake work, it would be better to burn it with fire."

Yuan Zheng took the book and smiled and replied: "Thank you, second and third brothers. I have been quite tortuous when I went out this time, and I have not prepared a gift for a while. I will ask the two brothers to drink and apologize. This book is indeed extremely difficult to find, so I will accept it first."

"What book?" Mrs. Yuan Er, who was sitting opposite them, suddenly said excitedly.

Her eyes never left Yuan Zheng, and she kept pricking up her ears to listen to their conversation.

Mr. Yuan was not very quiet. Although he was far away, he still vaguely heard them talking about books. He saw his son holding a book in his hand. Mrs. Yuan was overjoyed. Her good son finally started reading books!

The hall suddenly became silent, and all eyes fell on Yuan Zheng.

The three brothers were all stunned, and Yuan Zheng was about to explain.

Master Yuan San had already clasped his fists honestly and replied: "Second Aunt, it is a military book called "Yue Liaozi"."

When Mrs. Yuan Er heard that it was a military book, she was so upset that she wanted to hold her mouth. She looked at Master Yuan Er with grievance.

This is awful. The Grand Master was dissatisfied with Rong'er and had to not practice martial arts. He just came back this time and read some messy military books!

Isn’t this a sin augmented sin?

Sure enough, Master Yuan first scolded Yuan Er, "You brothers, don't you take your fourth brother to study hard and read such books to him. Is it for him?"

Yuan Er lowered his head and dared not speak.

Yan Nan saw everyone's reaction. Was the person who provoked this matter intentionally or unintentionally?

Yuan Zheng shook his eyebrows, thought about it, stood up and said slowly, "Uncle, don't blame me for my second and third brothers. My nephew likes military books, and my two brothers just want to do what I like. Moreover, this book not only has methods of governing the military, but also includes strategies for people's livelihood. It advocates that the country is prosperous and people's livelihood is the basis for strengthening the military. The strategy of strengthening the people to strengthen the military and strengthening the country is to benefit and help each other. Not only can military people read it, but also literati."

Yuan Zheng felt that he was betting whether they could accept such Yuan Si.

Change starts now.

If he wants to realize his plan, he must first earn the support of his family, and the most important thing is the support of Master Yuan.

If you still maintain the style of the Fourth Master Yuan in the past, you will be afraid that the first step will be difficult to take.

Sure enough, after his words ended, the hall was silent.

Even Mrs. Yuan's second wife widened her eyes and looked at her son.

Is this what the ignorant Master Yuan Si said?

Master Yuan’s eyes flashed, “Have you read this book?”

Yuan Zheng nodded, "Yes."

"Where have you read this book?"
