At the beginning of March, the spring breeze has brought a touch of warmth into Yecheng. Willow branches are sprouting, grass is growing and orioles are flying, and there is a lot of devotion.
In the afternoon, a bullock cart with a round shed drove into Zhengyang Square in Yecheng. Most of the people living in this square were the rich and powerful families of Yecheng. They wore bright clothes and angry horses. There were a lot of people coming and going, making it extremely lively.
The ox cart stopped in front of a mansion. The honest man driving the cart turned around and said, "Sir, we're home."
"Yuan Gui, help me down." A deep and vicissitudes of voice came from the ox cart.
Yuan Gui jumped off the cow and horse, raised the curtain of the cart, and reached out to help him down, but it was a young master.
The young man looks like he is only in his twenties. He has a dignified appearance, but his brows are deeply furrowed. From time to time, in his eyes as bright as stars, there is a hint of maturity that young people should not have.
His name is Yuan Fang, and his father is the world-famous Yuan Shao.
"It's a pity that he is just an illegitimate son from a humble background.
Yuan Fang looked up and saw the magnificent mansion in front of him, surrounded by high walls. On both sides of the steps were two stone lion sculptures that guarded the house. The steps were facing a red lacquered door.
At the top of the gate, there is a huge gold-plated plaque hanging high, with five characters written on it: The Mansion of the Chariot and Cavalry General.
This mansion exudes a sense of majesty.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Fang walked up the stairs and limped toward the red door.
The guards on both sides of the gate bowed slightly and said coldly, "I have met the second young master," but there was not much respect in their tone.
¡°Even, there will be a hint of contempt quietly flashing in their eyes.
Yuan Fang was calm and calm, turning a blind eye to those contemptuous looks.
It has been a year, and he has long been accustomed to this look.
His soul originally came from more than a thousand years later. The military plane he was riding in crashed in this era during a storm. He died in the crash, but his soul remained and possessed this patient. Disabled physically.
At the end of Han Dynasty, this was an era of strict hierarchy, where one's family background determined almost everything about a person's future.
As the illegitimate son of Yuan Shao who had sex after drinking and the same humble maidservant, Yuan Fang's status in the Yuan Mansion was lower than that of a concubine.
What¡¯s more, he is still a cripple who was born with congenital leg problems.
The original person in this body was a cowardly and submissive person with low self-esteem, but the current Yuan Fang is not.
He couldn't bear to be looked down upon, let alone accept that a few years later, Cao Cao's troops invaded Hebei, and he would be destroyed along with the Yuan family.
Therefore, Yuan Fang is determined to become stronger and change his tragic fate. This is precisely why he has been away from home for two months.
Stepping into the red door with his head held high, Yuan Fang limped step by step towards the remote courtyard where he lived.
The maids and servants he met along the way only bowed to him carelessly, and some even pretended not to see him.
What¡¯s more, some bold slaves dared to openly cast contempt on him.
Only Yuan Gui followed behind him, respectfully treating Yuan Fang at all times.
"You can despise me as much as you want. One day, you will regret it." Yuan Fang secretly swore in his heart.
Turning around a corridor, Yuan Fang bumped into two quarreling maids.
Yuan Fang recognized that one of them was his brother Yuan Xi's personal maid Hongyu, and the other maid was Yuan Fang's own maid Xiaocha.
"Don't you have eyes? On this plate are fruits that I just washed for my young master. Can you bear with them if they get dirty!" Hongyu put her hands on her hips and taught Xiaocha angrily.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you would come over suddenly. I'm going to take the fruits and wash them again." Xiaocha apologized aggrievedly and lay on the ground to pick up the fruits.
Hongyu was furious, pointed at Xiaocha and scolded: "How dare you talk back? You, a lame maid, dare to talk back to me!"
The originally submissive Xiao Cha suddenly shook his body, stood up, and bravely said to Hong Yu: "You can scold me, but how can you speak rudely to the second young master? Don't forget your identity as a slave."
Xiaocha's sudden resistance made Hongyu startled, but her momentum immediately became more arrogant, snorting coldly: "I am a slave, but I am the slave of your legitimate son. Leg master, I don¡¯t know how many times better.¡±
"you¡ª¡ª"
"What are you doing? I think you're looking for a beating."
The Hongyu stretched out his hand and pushed the weak Xiaocha to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Fang was furious.
This is before my eyesThis arrogant Hongyu dared to openly disrespect him, and even dared to push Xiaocha to defend him. How could Yuan Fang endure it any longer.
"What a cowardly slave!"
Yuan Fang gave a sharp shout, appeared, and strode forward limping.
When Hong Yu turned around and saw Yuan Fang, a look of shock flashed between her arrogant brows, but she still stood there proudly, with an aura of "What can you do to me?"
Snapped!
Yuan Fang stepped forward, reached out and slapped Hong Yu hard on the face.
Hongyu screamed in pain, stumbled back three steps, and almost fell to the ground.
When she reacted, a burning slap mark appeared on her fair and clean face.
Hong Yu was so shocked that she forgot the pain and stared at Yuan Fang in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that Yuan Fang actually dared to teach him a lesson.
Xiao Cha on the ground and Yuan Gui who followed behind were also stunned. They seemed even more unbelievable that the young master who had been submissive for twenty years dared to teach the third young master's beloved maid today.
After a while, Hong Yufang came back to her senses, covered her face and shouted at Yuan Fang: "How dare you hit me, how dare you hit me!"
"So what if I hit you."
Yuan Fang was calm and said coldly: "You are a little slave, how dare you speak rudely to me, my master. I'll hit you lightly. If you don't know what to do, get out of here. Believe it or not, I will retaliate against you, father. I will give you a direct sentence." Beaten to death with sticks."
Yuan Fang's voice and look were both stern, and his aura was completely different from the two.
Hong Yu¡¯s figure was shocked again, and Yuan Fang choked back the arrogant words on her lips.
She knew that Yuan Fang was not trying to scare her. The Yuan family had a strict hierarchy. Even if Yuan Fang was just an illegitimate child and was not valued by Yuan Shao, if this matter really came to Yuan Shao, she would be punished with a stick if she, a slave, committed the crime. , even Yuan Xi couldn't protect her.
"Hmph." After a moment of stalemate, Hongyu still didn't dare to make a mistake, and ran away with her face covered with resentment.
"It's true that villains are like ghosts. The more angry you are, the less they dare to mess with you"
Yuan Fang sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to lift Xiao Cha on the ground, and comforted him: "Are you okay?"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of
After a pause, Xiaocha suddenly thought of something and said worriedly: "Master, although that Hongyu is hateful, she is in the third master's room after all. The master just beat her, I'm afraid she will go to the third master to complain. When Sangong"
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
Yuan Fang interrupted Xiaocha's worries and said calmly: "From now on, young master, I will never swallow my anger, let alone let you be bullied again."
After saying that, Yuan Fang walked towards his side courtyard with his head held high and his chest held high.
Although he was still limping, he exuded an unprecedented calmness and confidence.
Xiaocha and Yuan Gui were both surprised by Yuan Fang's change.
Back in the room, Yuan Gui was watching outside. Xiaocha helped Yuan Fang sit down and asked impatiently: "Young master is looking for a miracle doctor to cure the leg disease this time. I wonder if he can find one?"
"Of course I found it, and the miracle doctor also gave me a good medicine." Yuan Fang said with a smile.
Xiaocha was overjoyed and her eyes fell on the strange black box in front of the case, guessing that the good medicine must be in it.
Yuan Fang ordered: "You and Yuan Gui should stay outside and no one is allowed to disturb you."
"No." Xiaocha stood up and wanted to leave.
Click!
At this moment, the door that had been closed was kicked open from the outside.
An aggressive young man in colorful clothes pushed aside Yuan Gui's obstruction and broke into the room with his head held high.
Immediately afterwards, Hong Yu also followed in, raising her nose and looking proud.
The young man who broke in was Yuan Shao's third son and Yuan Fang's nominal third brother Yuan Xi.
Looking at this momentum, it is obvious that Hongyu went back to complain, and Yuan Xi came to investigate.
Yuan Fang frowned slightly and asked, "Xianyi, you kicked in the door like this, what do you want to do?"
Yuan Xi stood proudly with his hands behind his back, staring sideways at Yuan Fang, and said angrily: "It depends on the owner to beat a dog, Yuan Fang, if you dare to beat my maid, I will ask you what you want to do!"
Hong Yu next to her raised her head and stared angrily at Yuan Fang, looking arrogant as if a dog was trying to take advantage of others.
Yuan Fang was not afraid at all, pointing at Hongyu and saying: "This cheap servant has no dignity and dares to speak rudely to me. I am just here to discipline you for Xianyi."
"MyGirl, even if she needs to be disciplined, it's not your turn. If you dare to hit her today, you just don't take me seriously! "
Yuan Xi¡¯s arms were hanging down, his fists were secretly clenched, and his face was full of anger, as if he was planning to use violence against Yuan Fang.
However, Yuan Fang looked calm and showed no trace of fear.
He is Yuan Xi¡¯s brother after all. Yuan Xi usually looks down on him, but Yuan Fang doesn¡¯t believe that Yuan Xi really has the courage to do something rough to him.
"What's wrong with this kid? He should have surrendered to me and begged for mercy long ago, but why is he so stubborn today?"
Yuan Xi was secretly surprised. He originally wanted to scare Yuan Fang, but who would have thought that his usually weak brother would suddenly become so bold and not take his threats seriously at all.
For a while, Yuan Xi struggled with whether he should take action or not, and was in a dilemma.
In the room, the situation was tense.
Just at this moment, a servant broke in and gasped: "Third Young Master, a distinguished guest is coming to the house. My Lord ordered all the Young Masters to go to the main hall to greet them."
Yuan Shao's summons just relieved Yuan Xi's embarrassment.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his fists, glared at Yuan Fang and said, "If my father hadn't called me today, I wouldn't have given up with you. You just wait for me."
After saying a harsh word, Yuan Xi turned around and stood up. Hong Yu could not express her resentment, so she could only follow her master away in a depressed manner.
"As I expected, this Yuan Xi is indeed a strong-willed person" Yuan Fang sneered secretly.
Xiaocha next to him also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said to Yuan Fang: "Young Master, since the Lord has summoned you, please hurry up and go."
"My lord has only summoned the eldest, third and fourth young masters, but not the second young master." The servant sneered and backed away.
Outside the door, Yuan Xi, who had not yet gone far, heard this and said sarcastically: "Father, I think some people don't exist at all, and some people dare to pretend in front of me. It's so ridiculous, haha~~"
Yuan Xi laughed wildly and walked away.
Xiaocha looked ashamed and blamed herself in a low voice: "It's all Xiaocha's fault. Talking like this has caused the young master to be humiliated."
"If you are weak and strong, you will naturally be humiliated if you don't have strength. I can't blame you."
Yuan Fang didn't take it seriously, and just said lightly: "Okay, you all should retreat. Curing my leg disease is the top priority right now."
Xiaocha and Yuan Gui didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly left.
The door was closed, and only Yuan Fang was left in the dark room.
"I will no longer be looked down upon by others. I want to regain my dignity. I also want to carve out my own world in this era of heroes. I must become stronger!"
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Fang opened the black box without hesitation.
