Chapter 49
"Yuan Gaolu, what do you mean? I hope your brother will be unlucky?" Yuan Shao said to Yuan Shu in anger.
Yuan Shu spread his hands and said helplessly to Yuan Shao:
"Oh, I don't mean that, I can't explain it to you.
You'll know in a while."
When Yuan Shao saw Yuan Shu say this, he was even more angry and was stopped by Cao Cao just as soon as he was about to have an attack.
"Brother Benchu, you two are descendants of famous families, why bother with verbal disputes?
Let’s go to the General’s Mansion as soon as possible. If you go too late, it will be no longer beautiful.”
While stopping Yuan Shao, Cao Cao gestured wildly at Yuan Shao.
For the sake of money, Yuan Shao no longer argued with Yuan Shu, but just snorted coldly.
He Jin's General's Mansion is located in the center of Luoyang City, only two streets away from the imperial palace.
He Jin was a butcher. He relied on his sister to be favored in the palace and climbed to the position of the general step by step.
Therefore, his background is incomparable to the Yuan family of the four generations and three dukes.
The general's mansion is very large and magnificently built, giving people a rich temperament.
The two big stone lions at the gate are built higher than those of people, and they are extremely luxurious.
Since there was a happy event in He Jin's family today, almost everyone from He Jin's party in the court has come.
The door was full of traffic and bustling.
"How many young men, do you have an invitation from the General's Mansion?"
When the few people walked to the door, a guard from the General's Mansion stopped the few people and asked Yuan Shu and others politely.
Cao Cao took out the invitation from his arms and handed it to the guards, and said politely:
"I'm sorry, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gaolu, Cao Mengde, Cao family, visited."
The guards checked the invitation and found that there was no problem, so they let several people go.
The three of them walked to the general's mansion and began to register the gift.
Most of the guests who came were generous, with the least amount of gifts of 100,000 yuan, and the most amount was even 800,000 yuan.
Yuan Shu walked up to the manager who registered the gift money with his nostrils facing the sky and said:
"The three of us, each of us has one million dollars!"
His words scared the manager. Are these young men so rich?
The manager was afraid that he would hear it wrong, so he asked again:
"Each person has one million yuan. What's the truth?"
Yuan Shu did not answer and proudly patted the three million yuan gift on the table.
People are willing to give it away, but the manager can only collect money. After registering the names of several people, he sang loudly:
"Yuan Gonglu, Yuan Benchu, and Cao Mengde, each of them has a gift of one million yuan!
Total three million!”
Singing gifts was one of the customs of ancient weddings, and this behavior could make guests who spend more money more face.
"Ding! The host's quota of 5 million yuan was completed!
Congratulations to the host for completing the challenge mission! Will the reward be settled?"
The moment when the He Mansion manager sang the gift of money, the system prompted Yuan Shu's mission had been completed.
It seems that the system is still very wise, knowing that giving gifts to He Jin is purely a prodigal act.
Yuan Shu said silently: "The settlement will not be made for the time being, let's talk about it when you go back."
Now he is in the General's Mansion. Cao Cao doesn't know what to do, so it's better not to distract himself.
"Why did this boy from the Yuan family give so much money to the general?"
"Yes, I haven't heard that Lord Sikong and the General have a good relationship."
"It's probably Yuan Shu's prodigal son who made his own decisions."
"Maybe, this kid doesn't seem to have a good brain and can do anything."
When the manager heard the gifts sing, many guests began to whisper, discussing why Yuan Shu gave so much money.
Yuan Shu had no need to pay attention to this kind of discussion.
Millions of money are indeed a lot, but at the level of He Jin and Yuan Feng, this amount of money is nothing.
Therefore, Yuan Shu's behavior will not have any impact on Yuan Feng at all.
The three of them found a seat and sat down. Since there were too many people coming to attend the wedding banquet, no one from the He family came to entertain them specially.
The wedding was still carried out according to the tedious and boring ceremony, and the bride was covered with a red veil.
After an hour of wedding, no one saw what she looked like until the bride was sent into the bridal chamber.
Yuan Shu teased Cao Cao:
"Brother Meng De, where is your longing Yin Meier?"
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu with a wretched smile and said:
"What's the hurry? I've made enough preparations before coming today. Yin Mei'er must be mine, Cao, in the end."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao frowned and said to Cao Cao:
"Meng De, this is the General's Mansion, we cannot make rash things."
Cao Cao said disapprovingly:
"I know what I know. I have a plan later and I need you to cooperate."
Yuan Shu thought it was not good, and this Cao thief was indeed going to cause trouble.
He stared at Cao Cao with a twelve-point spirit, thinking that if he wanted to cheat Yuan Shao, he would not cheat me.
Cao Cao observed the surrounding environment. Now the tedious etiquette has long ended, and everyone is cheering and drinking in their seats.
It is rare that so many officials and nobles gather together. This is a good time to get involved in relationships. Many people's tongues are a little straight when drinking.
Cao Cao nodded secretly, feeling that the time was almost ripe. He said to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao:
"Brother Benchu, Brother Gaolu, you follow me, I have something to ask for."
Yuan Shu thought to himself that Cao Thief was about to start attacking, so he had to follow him closely.
With Cao Cao's treacherous spirit, as long as he follows him, there should be no danger.
Cao Cao led the two to the inner hall of He Mansion. He walked on some easy-to-go paths, and he felt very familiar with He Mansion.
This Cao Thief must have stepped on it in advance.
At the end, I arrived near a room decorated with red, and there was a sedan chair that the bride had just sat in before at the door.
"Meng De, isn't this a newcomer's room?!" Yuan Shao glanced at the surrounding environment and asked Cao Cao in surprise.
He didn't understand why Cao Cao brought them here. Are you not afraid that the people from the General's Mansion would misunderstand?
Brother Yuan Shuxin, you are really a real person. Can’t you still see that Cao Thief is going to cause trouble?
Cao Cao did not answer Yuan Shao's words, but instead carefully observed the surrounding environment. In Yuan Shao's puzzled eyes, he suddenly shouted:
"A thief broke into the mansion! Hurry up and catch the thief!"
Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this: "Meng De, what do you mean by this?"
Today, He Xian got married, and He Jin had many distinguished guests. If a thief broke in, it would inevitably lead to large-scale riots.
If it was found out that the riot was caused by Cao Mengde, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who came with him would definitely be blamed.
Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao and shouted hard, thinking that this was my first time witnessing what it means to call a thief to catch a thief.
With Cao Cao's shouting, the entire He family became in chaos, shouting to catch thieves, looking for traces of thieves everywhere.
Seeing that the time had come, Cao Cao rushed into the new house directly.
