"Oh?"

Tian Feng raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this: "The Zhen clan of Lu Nu is the Lord's in-laws, right?"

"The Zhen clan is a big merchant in Jizhou. If utilized well, it will be of great benefit to the Lord in the future;"

"As for Donglai? Is the Lord going to look for some talent again?"

He hadn't heard of any great talent in Donglai!

"Could it be Zheng Xuan, the Duke of Kangcheng? That's not right either! The Duke of Kangcheng should be living in seclusion in Gaomi, Beihai, writing books at this time."

Tian Feng thought to himself.

He felt he couldn't guess Su Xuan's purpose at all.

"Haha! Yuanhao understands me!"

Su Xuan couldn't help but smile upon hearing this and gave Tian Feng a thumbs up: "Going to Donglai is indeed for a great talent!"

"This person is a talent of a great general, but because his background is not high, and he avoided disaster in Liaodong for some reason, his reputation is not prominent at present;"

"I am going to Donglai this time to see his family;"

"To show kindness to his family in advance and build a good relationship, so it will be convenient to recruit him in the future."

Su Xuan's frankness, without any avoidance, made Tian Feng very surprised.

He felt more and more that Su Xuan was very different from the people he had seen in the past.

Moreover, he quite liked Su Xuan's way of doing things.

He immediately smiled and replied: "The Lord is so actively showing kindness and expecting a return, aren't you afraid that the other party won't recognize it, or even harbor dissatisfaction because of it?"

"That will certainly not happen!"

Su Xuan shook his head confidently: "This person is a very filial son, and he is loyal, brave, and righteous, and knows how to repay kindness!"

"Although I am deliberately showing kindness, I did indeed save his old mother;"

"This is kindness! He will recognize it, and he must recognize it!"

"If he is not even willing to recognize this, then it can only mean that I misjudged the person!"

"Then such a person is not worth my recruitment, is he?"

If he doesn't even recognize such kindness, such a person must be a villain.

"That is true!"

Tian Feng nodded, quite agreeing with this: "You can have opinions and grudges in your heart, but you cannot fail to recognize it."

Kindness is kindness!

Whether it is deliberate or not is not important.

Su Xuan nodded with a smile and continued: "In my opinion, there is no hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason!"

"Everything must have a cause."

"This world is inherently a utilitarian world;"

"Everyone, in doing anything, has a purpose!"

"Even if a truly good person helps others, isn't it actually seeking peace of mind for themselves?"

"It's just that such people are relatively noble!"

"Although I am not that noble, I am willing to actively seek out a talent and help his family in order to gain his recognition;"

"Even, I am willing to send people to Liaodong to find him, tell him that I am willing to help him clear his name, recruit him, and give him a bright future;"

"You can have grudges, but you cannot say I am despicable. What does Yuanhao think?"

If you have no value yourself, why should I help you?

If I am really willing to help you, that is my noble character, willing to pay without return.

If I am not willing, you cannot blame me either.

In the real society, more of it is help with a certain purpose and utilitarianism.

Tian Feng pondered for a moment, nodded heavily and said: "Although the Lord's words are a bit unorthodox, I have to admit that this is very realistic and very correct."

Not hypocritical, very real.

Isn't this a portrayal of his own character and behavior?

Sure enough, he and Su Xuan are very compatible!

He likes such a real and unhypocritical Lord.

"Haha!"

Su Xuan couldn't help but be happy upon hearing this: "Only you, Yuanhao, would directly say that what I said is correct!"

"Ordinary people wouldn't say that."

So, he also felt that Tian Feng was a very interesting person.

Tian Feng was an impatient person, and once he decided to do something, he didn't like to drag it out.

Therefore, that very day, he had his wife and daughter pack their things and urged Su Xuan to set off.

Which made Su Xuan a bit dumbfounded.

He had never seen anyone like him!

2 days later, Su Xuan and his party arrived in Lu Nu, Zhongshan Kingdom.

They entered the city with great fanfare and arrived at the gate of the Zhen Mansion.

Here, Zhen Yi had long since brought his whole family out to welcome them.

"Haha! Son-in-law, you have finally arrived! Come, come, come! Please come in!"

Seeing that Su Xuan and the others had arrived, Zhen Yi hurriedly stepped forward enthusiastically and greeted Su Xuan and his party into the Zhen Mansion.

This scene was known to the various clans in Lu Nu who had long since sent people to wait here.

And, it was passed on to the entire Jizhou at a very fast speed.

"I didn't expect it! This Su Xuan really values this Zhen family? He actually really came! Tsk tsk! I really envy the Zhen clan!"

"Exactly! It was just taking a concubine, but the General who Guards the South cares so much about the Zhen clan. I can only say that the General who Guards the South is a very good person!"

"Tell me, what if I find a way to marry my daughter to the General who Guards the South?"

"Ha? What are you thinking? You think anyone can climb up to the General who Guards the South? First, your daughter's appearance won't do! Second, when the Zhen clan got engaged to the General who Guards the South, he hadn't been appointed a general or enfeoffed as a marquis yet. Now the market is completely different!"

"Indeed! Didn't you see that the wife he married is the daughter of Xun Ciming of the Yingchuan Xun clan? Now, even if it's a concubine, it's not something ordinary people can do!"
