There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Mi Zhen's voice was like a mosquito, she was very shy, and she couldn't hear it clearly unless she pricked up her ears.

Both Cao Yuan and Mi Zhen are the daughters of noble families. Although the heads of the two families are at odds, the relationship between them does not affect each other, and it seems that they still know each other.

"Sister Mi is coming too!" Cao Yuan greeted Mi Zhu, looked enviously at Mi Zhen's chest, and then lowered her head to compare with her own, with a very lonely expression on her face.

This is the gap, the little breasted girl is jealous.

The potter looked at the two food tripods, then at the fruit plate, and simply waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there are vegetables and fruits today, the four of us may as well eat together here, and if you don't see each other when you look up, you can't see me when you look down." As a chance, Tao also took the opportunity to make friends with the two young ladies."

Cao Yuan clapped her hands vigorously and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, this is a good way to eat. I have never eaten outside since I was a child!"

Mi Zhen seemed rather hesitant, not knowing whether to agree or not.

After all, it's somewhat bad for others to see it and pass it back to my brother's ears.

Diao Chan saw some clues, and said with a smile: "Our girl's family is thin-skinned, if Mr. Tao wants to make friends, he needs to find a secluded place."

When Mi Zhen heard this, she gave Diao Chan a grateful smile.

The potter was stunned when he heard the words, and said: "I was negligent, let's go, let's go to the pavilion in the side yard, there are few people going there, let's talk while eating."

The four of them then took their things to the quiet courtyard in the side garden of your temple.

While the potter was eating, he chatted with a few girls.

Needless to say the relationship between Diao Chan and the pottery merchant, but Cao Yuan and Mi Zhen are not that familiar with him. The two daughters are from the Xuzhou gentry, and the pottery merchants chat with them, naturally, they are also the parents of the Xuzhou gentry.

What is the owner of the Wang family recently bought how many fine fields? The Zhao family just built a beautiful courtyard in the eastern suburbs

Dow, Chen, Mi, Cao, Wang, Zhao potters and a few girls chattered about the gossip and anecdotes of the gentry in Xuzhou almost all the time, feeling a little parched.

Cao Yuan is a small chatterbox, chattering and joking non-stop, but it is Mi Zhenneixiu, who occasionally just interjects a sentence or two, and spends the rest of the time peeling oranges with a few people.

After talking about the gossip and anecdotes of the Pengcheng gentry circle, the pottery merchant suddenly remembered something, and began to tentatively ask Mi Zhen and Cao Yuan about it.

"Miss, do you know that among the gentry in Xuzhou, there is a family whose surname is Zhuge?"

Cao Yuan frowned, not knowing why the pottery merchant suddenly mentioned this Zhuge family.

"Ah? It seems, it seems that there are, there should be."

Diao Chan was amused by Cao Yuan's expression, and said, "Sister Cao, do you have it or not?"

Cao Yuan smiled carefully and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I don't know."

On the other side, Mi Zhen, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said: "The Zhuge family Mr. Tao mentioned is the Zhuge family in Yangdu County, Langya County?"

Hearing Mi Zhen's words seemed to have some meaning, the potter hurriedly asked her, "Miss Mi, do you know about the Zhuge family?"

Mi Zhen tapped her forehead lightly, and said in a soft voice: "Langya County is now under the separatist rule of the riding captain Zang Ba, and the local gentry in Pengcheng rarely go there, but it's just my brother's business transfer. If you go to Qingzhou, you often pass through Langya County, so My Mi family has some friendship with the local gentry."

Hearing the words, the pottery merchant regained his spirits, leaned forward, and said, "How about the Zhuge family? Ms. Mi, tell me quickly."

Seeing the potter's body leaning over, Mi Zhen's face turned red again.

Mi Zhen lowered her head and said softly: "Actually, there is nothing special about Zhuge's family. Zhuge Feng, the ancestor of Zhuge's family, was the captain of Sili in the imperial court. His family has a history of hundreds of years in Xuzhou. After the Patriarch Zhuge Gui died of illness in his early years, his younger brother Zhuge Xuan came back from Jingzhou to preside over the affairs of the clan. Years ago, I heard that the Mi Family’s host in Langya once said that after Zhuge Xuan returned from Jingzhou, he recently had a faint intention to raise the clan south. Qian, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Upon hearing this, the pottery merchant suddenly became a little nervous.

The Zhuge family moved south and left Xuzhou?

Let Zhuge Liang run away under the nose of my majestic time traveler, isn't it a bit too much for a time traveler?

"Miss Mi, do you know why Zhuge Xuan wanted to move south?"

Seeing that the potter was so interested in the Zhuge family, Mi Zhen answered honestly even though she didn't understand.

"The little girl is not very clear about the specific matters, but I heard that after Zhuge Xuan returned, he said that the south will be peaceful, and that the Central Plains may be full of turmoil in the future. Langya County is in the hands of the bandit Zang Ba. I don't know how many things will happen in the future. In order to protect the family Taiping, so the whole family went south to listen to my elder brother's words, Zhuge Xuan seemed to have some personal friendship with Yuan Shu, and it was Yuan Shu's idea to send the whole family south to keep them safe."

The pottery merchant frowned when he heard the words, looked down at the orange in his hand, and secretly made up his mind.

Whatever you say, you can't let Yuan Shu and Zhuge Xuan take Zhuge Liang away from under their noses. It's necessary!

Tao Mou seems to have to use some means again.

This time the opponent is the Zhuge family!

Chapter 178 Uncle Zhuge and Nephew

After making up his mind, the potter went to Tao Qian to discuss the matter on the second day after the ceremony.

These days, the relocation of the gentry is not a big deal. With the relationship of the gentry in the local area, it is very simple to ask the local prefect or county lord to get a guide. If you have a guide, you will be eligible to move. Where to go, household registration and registration can be changed by virtue of this paper route.

So Tao Qian didn't take Zhuge's relocation seriously at all. Mr. Tao has too many things to worry about now. Xuzhou has a lot of local gentry. If you leave ten or eight families, it's like drizzle to Tao Qian Same.

And as an outsider, the old man still has a little resentment towards the nobles in his heart, so he should leave!

But the degree of opposition of the pottery to this matter was obviously somewhat beyond Tao Qian's expectations.

He insisted on asking Tao Qian to cooperate with him to keep the Zhuge family in Xuzhou.

Seeing such a fierce request from the pottery merchant, Tao Qian was even a little skeptical.

In the Zhuge family, does anyone owe my son money?

"Son, you're going to take office in Danyang County next month, and you're here to worry about the Zhuge Clan in Langya at this time, isn't it a little asking for trouble?" Tao Qian asked with concern.

The pottery merchant shook his head vigorously, and said: "Father, this matter is very important to me. My son must find a way to win over Zhuge's family. It's just that the trouble is serious. Before my son wants to do this, he must discuss it with his father." one time."

Tao Qian sighed, shook his head and said: "It is not necessary to say that the trouble is serious. In fact, being a father is not a big deal. If you want to keep them, you can keep them. It's just that the ancestors of the Zhuge clan lived in Yangdu County, which is under Zang Ba's jurisdiction. , how are you going to communicate with him?"

Regarding this matter, the pottery merchant spent a whole night thinking about it last night, and now he has a solution in his mind.

"My boy wants to go to Yangdu with Mi Zhu's caravan, and meet Zhuge Xuan."

Tao Qian was quite hesitant when he heard the words, and sighed: "Yangdu County is under the rule of Zang Ba. Although the old man and Zang Ba have not broken their faces yet, he is not under the father's control after all. If my son will go like this In Yangdu County, what if Zang Ba finds out and sends troops to detain you, what should I do? Sigh, this matter is absolutely wrong."

What Tao Qian could think of, the potter naturally thought of it too.

If he wants to poach people under Zang Ba's nose, he will naturally have a foolproof calculation.

When it comes to protecting his own life, the potter knows better than his father.

After living two lifetimes, no one would have Mr. Taiping spare his life.

"Father, this matter is easy to handle."

The pottery merchant stood up and said to Tao Qian: "The boy brought back from outside Xuzhou, in addition to the 11 Baibo army, didn't he also bring back [-] Taishan troops? Father may as well release the news to the outside world, just say that I have heard a lot about it for a long time. The Taishan Army is powerful. In order to promote our reputation in Xuzhou and to examine the capabilities of the Taishan Army, Zhuo ordered the Danyang elite soldiers under your direct command and the Taishan Army to perform martial arts in Tan County next to Yishui River. Tan County was before my father moved to Pengcheng. , is the important town of Xuzhou's government, and if you go north, you can go straight to Kaiyang County, if Zang Ba hears that his father is performing a new martial arts army in Tan County, he must be suspicious!"
