Chapter 186 Has Yuan Shao really become a prince? He scared away the envoy from Yuan's camp!
Xun Chen took two steps in three, hurriedly grabbed Su Yu's hand, and said anxiously:
"Ziyi, you mustn't! You mustn't!"
"I have developed an affection for Ye City and I am reluctant to leave its mountains and rivers."
"If we abandon Yecheng and move to Xuchang, we will definitely suffer from acclimatization problems and fall seriously ill!"
Su Yu revealed a smug smile:
"Brother Youruo, have you forgotten? Xuchang belongs to Yingchuan Prefecture."
"Brother Youruo is originally from Yingchuan."
"So, for the first twenty years after Brother Youruo joined Yuan's camp, he suffered from acclimatization problems every single day?"
Xun Chen: "!!!"
This move completely stunned Xun Chen.
Admitting to being unaccustomed to the local environment, believe it or not, an elder of the Xun family will come from the clan tomorrow to give Xun Chen a cane.
He won't admit he's not used to the local environment, but Su Yu is practically forcing him to settle down in Ye City!
When the news reached Ye City, Xun Chen was doomed. Feng Ji and his ilk would definitely be eager to jump out and attack him!
Helpless, Xun Chen had no choice but to awkwardly change the subject.
Xun Chen turned to look at the artificial hill and waterside pavilion in Su Yu's courtyard, and said in an envious tone:
"Ziyi, your artificial hill and waterside pavilion are extremely lifelike."
Su Yu smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Brother Youruo. Once you've bought your house in Xuchang, I'll have Zhongkang build you an identical artificial hill and waterside pavilion."
Xun Chen: "???"
With his face covered in dust, Xun Chen quickly turned his attention to the wooden furniture.
"Ziyi, this set of furniture is really nice."
"Don't worry, Brother Youruo, what kind of relationship do we have?"
"I'll definitely arrange a perfect new house for you!"
Xun Chen was on the verge of collapse.
Feeling utterly devastated, he wished he could resign from his post as envoy and flee back to Ye City overnight.
"Ziyi, can we talk about the house later?"
"I have traveled from Ye City to Xuchang to request an official position from His Majesty on behalf of my lord."
Xun Chen held his breath, and to prevent Su Yu from forcing him to buy a house, he quickly finished explaining his true purpose in one go.
After listening, Su Yu blinked and asked in confusion:
"Brother Youruo is joking."
"If you want an official position, go find His Majesty. Why are you coming to me?"
Xun Chen: "???"
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Su Yu and the ever-watchful Xu Chu, Xun Chen really wanted to rush up and fight Su Yu!
Would it even work to find Liu Xie?
Does it work?
I asked, "Will this work?"
Without Cao Cao's consent, what official position could Liu Xie possibly give him?
Yes, Yuan Shao looked down on things like welcoming and flattering the emperor.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't need an official position.
If Xun Chen returns empty-handed, one can imagine the kind of attacks his "kind" colleagues in Yuan's camp will launch against him!
Cao Ang, who was watching from the sidelines, nodded frequently.
He thought to himself, "I've learned another trick from my master!"
Look at this honest man Xun Chen, he's almost crying from anger, but he can't do anything about his teacher.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Su Yu said:
"Actually, my lord has already made arrangements for this matter of seeking an official position."
"Yuan Shao wants the position of Grand General, doesn't he?"
"No problem, my lord will drag his ailing body to the palace tomorrow to ask His Majesty for an official position on behalf of Yuan Shao!"
The more Xun Chen listened, the more he felt there must be a trap involved.
Nima!
Do you think those two scoundrels, Su Yu and Cao Cao, would talk so easily?
"Alright, Zhongkang, quickly take Brother Youruo to buy a house."
"The housing prices in Xuchang have risen quite quickly."
"If you don't buy now, Brother Youruo will regret it!"
Xu Chu was about to leave once again.
Xun Chen rushed forward and grabbed his leg.
then……
Xu Chu carried her out like a chick.
Suddenly, Su Yu said to Cao Ang:
"Ang'er, I have another task for you."
Cao Ang immediately replied:
“Master, please speak freely, and I will go and do it for you right away.”
A sly glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes:
“Ang’er, you know that more than half of the real estate industry in Xuchang is controlled by the Mi family’s caravan.”
"Xun Chen definitely doesn't have enough cash to buy a house."
"You will go to the Minister's residence on my behalf."
"Demand that scoundrel Wenruo pay Xun Chen's money for the house at three times the market price."
"Xun Chen is his own brother. Although he's considered a relative, we can't not give him the money, can we?"
Cao Ang looked at Su Yu with a puzzled expression and asked a question:
"Master...Master, I have a question."
"Why should we pay three times the market price for someone with connections?"
Su Yu patiently explained:
"Ang'er, there is still much for you to learn."
"Xun Chen has connections, so he gets preferential treatment when buying a house, that's true."
"But Xun Chen is a member of Yuan Shao's camp, isn't he?"
"The price of houses purchased by these migrant workers should be more than five times higher."
"Out of respect for Wenruo, I'll give him a discount, charging him only three times the market price. Isn't that a great deal?"
Cao Ang suddenly realized!
He thought to himself, "Master is still the best!"
Isn't this too good to Xun Chen?
Tonight, the Minister's residence is destined to be anything but peaceful.
But what does that have to do with Su Yu?
He takes great care of Xun Chen!
As a rising star in the real estate industry, Su Yu said that he also had a difficult time.
Those who buy houses through connections are losing out big time!
……
Two days later
Xun Chen received the imperial edict appointing him as Grand General.
Although he never met Cao Cao, he completed the task assigned to him by his lord Yuan Shao.
Whether or not we meet Cao Cao is actually irrelevant.
Upon hearing this, Xun Chen wept uncontrollably.
Although Xun Yu paid for Xun Chen's house.
But Xun Chen, being an honest man, certainly wouldn't let his younger brother suffer a loss.
He will send the money for the house to Xun Yu after he returns to Ye City.
Xinxujia Village (Yingchuan Version)
After exchanging ideas with the plump widow from Xujia Village, Cao Cao finally embarked on his journey back to the city.
This vacation brought Cao Cao great joy, both physically and mentally.
The intelligence scout sent by Su Yu had already recounted the whole story to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao laughed heartily when he heard the news that Su Yu had purchased a property for Xun Chen in Xuchang at three times the market price.
Ziyi, no matter what, always makes people feel so at ease.
What?
What if Xun Chen develops a psychological trauma from this and is afraid to go on missions to Cao Cao's camp again?
It's okay!
Even with the replacement of Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and Xin Ping—the show is still full of joy!
Years later, when housing prices in Xuchang reach astronomical levels, they will thank Su Yu for his generosity back then.
of course.
He casually tricked Xun Chen, but it was just a trivial matter.
The key point is the imperial edict appointing Xun Chen as Grand General that he took back.
There was also a line of small print on the back.
"Prince of Guangping, Yuan Shao!"
Ju Shou, a man from Tianlong, was from Guangping County.
