Chapter 51: Family (2)
Chen Xi is a little depressed now, mainly because he estimated the wrong reaction of Chen Qun. Originally, in troubled times the family play a game. Regardless of your own status, whether you are from the branch family, concubine son, etc. they will let you try it.
Generally speaking, the clan patriarch will deal with such troubles from the inside, and most of them will be released directly from the house. If the situation is unknown, the family will be divided when the family is betting their choices, and then the one that lost will be expelled from the house.
This is more representative by Yuan Shu. It is said that if Yuan Shu wins, the Yuan family patriarch will automatically move from Yuan Shao to Yuan Shu. Even if Yuan Shao had been expelled from the house before, when the situation is set, it will be recorded according to the situation, 'Yuan Shu drove Yuan Shao out of the house'. After all, only the winner was qualified to inherit the family business. However, Chen Xi didn't feel that his IQ and behavior were the same as Yuan Shu.
Chen Xi was kicked out of the house just after he released the message that he wanted to be independent. Chen Xi was immediately upset. It is said that the way to deal with such an insignificant family members was to let him go. He was kicked out of the family. Although the parents' tablet was still in the ancestral hall, and the roots were not completely cut off, but it was obviously a bit too cruel!
Chen Xi carefully considered his current situation, and finally looked at the direction of the Chen family with a gloomy expression. He already understood what Chen Qun was doing and couldn't help but sneer.
[Killing chickens to scare the monkeys?] Chen Xi asked himself, and then laughed. Chen Qun was too confident. He really thought that there was no need to bet on other choices. Even the Xun family could not guarantee that the lord he chose was correct. Therefore, they betted on both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time. The Chen family really thought Chen Qun is a saint born once in a thousand years?
Chen Xi has basically understood Chen Qun's way of thinking, and it is estimated that in Chen Qun's opinion, the lord he has chosen will surely rule the world under his assistance.
It's a pity that he chose a good lord, but the problem is that the lord did not do it with his assistance. Chen Qun, who is so self-confident and conceited, can only know that there is a bigger sky outside when he meets Xun Yu, who beat him from head to toe. Chen Qun is probably still young and have frivolous arrogance. There is no way to simulate with the conventional thinking of a middle school students of this period. Just let him go.
After having figured this out, Chen Xi has nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter if he is kicked out of the family. There are more things he can do without the family restraint. As for Chen Qun, there will be times when he will get to see Chen Qun jokes in the future.
As soon as Liu Bei learned that Chen Xi had been expelled from the Chen family, he brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fe, Zhao Yun, and Hua Xiong with him.
"Since Chen Xi is homeless because of me, follow me from now on. If I become big in the future, Chen Xi is absolutely indispensable from it." Liu Bei took Chen Xi's hand and did not ask why Chen Xi was expelled from the Chen family, and said solemnly.
"Hmph, stupid Chen family, Zhang Fei here will hit the door now to let them understand how powerful we are." Zhang Fei exclaimed angrily.
Chen Xi's heart felt warm. These people didn't care that he was expelled from the house. After all, being expelled from the house in this era mean that there is a loss of virtue, but these people don't care about it.
"Third brother don't need to be like this. I came out independently. The Chen family will give an explanation in the future. Don't worry, they will definitely give an explanation." Chen Xi said to the several people with confidence on his face.
Seeing that Chen Xi was still as usual, Liu Bei and the others were relieved. They were most worried about Chen Xi's depression because of this incident.
"Chen Xi, Yingchuan is indeed an outstanding place. Although we didn't get the talents you mentioned, we also recruited a group of scholars." Liu Bei said emotionally. His identity as a Han family clan, the status of the county guard of Taishan, and the more than ten thousand elite forces are still very attractive to these scholars who want to show their talents.
"Ah? Liu Bei did not see Xun Yu?" Chen Xi was curious and said, "It stands to reason as long as Xun Yu is at home, even if he is not willing to join you, he will still have a discussion with you about it. How come you did not see him?"
"Oh, I was fortunately too late. His fourth brother Chen said that he may not be able to come back in three or five months since he is visiting friends." Liu Bei said helplessly, "I had to put down the greeting card and gift, and was ask to wait until his elder brother returns to speak."
"Xun Chen?" Chen Xi felt that her eyelids were constantly jumping. The Xun family had many talents. Xun Chen was one of them. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be Yuan Shao's mastermind. The Xun family played hedging and bet on two lords. Naturally, the family cannot be too strong on one side and too weak on the other. In other words, if Xun Yu's governance is 100 points, then Xun Chen will have a ninety-two or ninety-three points.
Thinking about it again, Xun Chen seemed to have help Yuan Shao gain a lot of land. Han Fu was persuaded by Xun Chen. Later, in the battle of Guandu, he strategize with Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Xu You to make a master plan. And the most important thing was that in the entire Guandu battle he was silent. After the battle of Guandu, this guy disappeared, just like Li Ru.
Well, this is a mysterious figure, in terms of ability, it is estimated to be slightly better than Ju Shao. It is a good thing, if you can dig it up.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi said, "Liu Bei, since we didn't see Xun Yu, let's go find Xun You. Anyone from the Xun family can handle state affairs. Don't worry, there are many people we can pull in that family. From the eldest brother, to the younger brother, to the nephew. Anyway, if someone is willing to follow us, we should take them. Anyway, Taishan lacks scholars, and we need talents."
Liu Bei thought for a while, thinking about when he was at the door of Xun's house and how Xun Chen performance was in retreating and advancing, so he nodded his head, agreeing with Chen Xi's statement.
Liu Bei and his entourage took Chen Xi to the Xun family main house and gave another big gift. It turned out to be a joke this time. Xun Yu, Xun Yue, Xun Chen, and Xun You, all the talented people in this generation that can be pulled over were not at home. Xun Yu went to visit friends, Xun Yue went to travel, Xun Chen went to the north to find a lord, and Xun You went to find his uncle Xun Yu.
Well, Chen Xi is not an idiot and now understands that the Xun family doesn't want to bet on Liu Bei. Liu Bei does look beautiful and strong now, but in fact he is a tree without roots. If you want these people to recognize you and join you, you must at least come up with something that allows them to see hope, otherwise it is absolutely impossible.
"Liu Bei, it seems that we are really out of luck." Chen Xi still kept a smile on his face. The family's style was being stable, and going further. Since they think it is not the time to wait, there will be no chance in the future. However, Chen Xi felt that it was a pity that the whole fantasy camp might not be possible. Hey, this is fate!
As for Chen Xi, he would still do it without these people. Since these families are not optimistic about Liu Bei, then Chen Xi wants to let these families stare from afar at Liu Bei, the weaving vendor. He is very interested in seeing the regretful eyes of these people how the person they didn't choose stepped onto the supreme throne step by step.
"Yeah, our fortune is not good." Liu Bei didn't have any blow at all. He had experienced enough suffering, and this matter was of little importance to him.
