Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14
soon……

Click, the closed door was opened again, and Liu Qi and Dian Wei were not kept waiting for long.

"Young master, my master is here to invite you!"

After the old man went back to report and got the answer, he ran back to the door and opened the door. Unlike before, where he only opened the door to reveal a body, he opened the door completely this time, which is the etiquette for welcoming guests.

"Thank you!" Liu Qi bowed his hands to the old man, and led Dian Wei into the gate.

After Liu Qi and Dian Wei entered the gate, the old man walked over to close the gate again, then walked in front of Liu Qi and Dian Wei, made a gesture of invitation, and walked towards the hall.

Liu Qi was not surprised by the old man's behavior either. After all, Cai Yong's charges are still there. Although the power of the eunuch is much weaker now, it is still very easy to get rid of Cai Yong.

While walking, he was also silently observing the courtyard. As expected of the existence of great Confucianism, even if he is down and out now, the layout of the courtyard still has the essence of a scholarly family. Let's get this one off!
"My lord, please come in!" The old man made a gesture of invitation in front of the door of the hall.

Liu Qi nodded, pulled his hands on his clothes, and then led Dian Wei into the hall calmly.

The old man entered last.

In the hall, sitting in the middle hall is an old man with white hair. He is wearing a genuine belt and holding a volume of books in his left hand. He has a refined temperament. He is more energetic than many young people. Although he has never seen him before, he can be sure that this is the person he is looking for.

"Boy Liu Qi has met Master Cai, and he took the liberty to visit, and hope that Master Cai will forgive him!" Liu Qi bowed and saluted, appearing very respectful.

Cai Yong was also observing Liu Qi when Liu Qi stepped into the hall. He didn't know Liu Qi, but he knew Liu Qi's identity. After receiving the greeting card, he guessed Liu Qi's identity. Otherwise, he would not have accepted the invitation and agreed to Liu Qi's visit. Who knows if he is the eunuch's minion?

"Are you the eldest son of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Jingsheng?" Cai Yong asked, still wanting to confirm.

Liu Qi frowned, he didn't mention his identity, he used his name on the greeting post, he didn't say anything else, but he still answered, "Exactly!"

Cai Yong also noticed Liu Qi's frowning and ignored it, but when he came to Luoyang and passed Jingzhou, the rumors he heard should be true. Liu Qi and Liu Biao are at odds. It’s good to talk about something, and it’s fine if you don’t see it.

"Please sit down! Uncle Fu, serve tea!"

Liu Qi bowed his hands, without being pretentious, walked to the first chair on the left of Cai Yong's strike and sat down.

Dian Wei stood behind Liu Qi from the beginning to the end. Liu Qi walked over and sat down, and he also followed, holding the box and standing behind Liu Qi, very dedicated to being the commander of the guards.

Cai Yong also noticed Dian Wei at this time, his pupils shrank, and he had been paying attention to Liu Qi before, but he didn't notice Dian Wei. With his years of eyesight, he could see the difference between Dian Wei, his face was fierce, and his burly body was a The talent of the staff.

After Liu Qi came in, he has been polite and courteous, with the spirit of different ages in his eyes, and he has great talents around him, but he didn't recommend it to Liu Biao. It seems that things are not simple.

Fortunately, Liu Qi didn't know what Cai Yong was thinking, otherwise he would have screamed for injustice. Dian Wei met him on the way here. As for Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, he had recommended them, but they were still the same, so they could only Take it for your own use.

He took a sip of the tea brought by Uncle Fu, and said, "I don't know how Master Cai found out about the kid's identity, but I never told you about the kid!"

"Hehe, because I took the name of the eldest son!" Cai Yong said with a smile, "I just became a great Confucianist, and your mother sent someone to ask me for advice, and three months ago, I was passing by Jingzhou. The people in Jingzhou are talking about you!"

There is something in Cai Yong's last sentence!

Liu Qi smiled and said: "I see, thank you, Mr. Cai, for choosing the name!"

He didn't answer Cai Yong's last sentence, and it's not surprising that his mother knew Cai Yong. He was able to marry Liu Biao as his wife, and he was also a member of the noble family.

In this era, the concept of being of equal status is very serious. If you don’t have a proper status, no one will talk to you.

"The Eldest Young Master doesn't look like the rumors at all, so why don't you help the governor to make suggestions to make the people of Jingzhou live a better life!" Cai Yong seemed to have no intention of letting Liu Qi go, and asked.

"I don't know if Master Cai has ever heard the phrase 'Everyone sleeps, but I wake alone'?"

"Everyone sleeps, I wake up alone?" Cai Yong repeated, and then laughed, "Haha, there is such a phrase 'Everyone sleeps, I wake up alone', it seems that the eldest son has a lot of ideas!"

Liu Qi smiled, picked up the tea bowl, drank the tea, and didn't answer. It's okay to order some things, but something may happen if you say it.

The tiger father has no dogs. It seems that the rumors from the outside world are not all true, but Liu Biao and Liu Qi are at odds, which may be true!Cai Yong thought so.

"I don't know what the Eldest Young Master wants to discuss?" Cai Yong also remembered the business at this time, the greeting card that Liu Qi handed over said that he had something to discuss.

Hearing this, Liu Qi also put down his teacup, stood up, pulled his clothes, and then said with a serious face: "I heard that Mrs. Cai has a daughter under her knees, who is knowledgeable, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This time, the boy came from Jingzhou. It is precisely for the purpose of proposing marriage to Mr. Cai, and I hope Mr. Cai can make it happen!"

After speaking, he turned his head and motioned for Dian Wei to open the box he was holding.

Inside the box was a roll of bamboo slips.

"Boy, I don't have any dowry gifts that I can take away. I only have a single volume of "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Jing", and I hope Mr. Cai can accept it!" Liu Qi said, pointing to the volume in the box.

Cai Yong's expression in front was still relatively calm, but in the end he couldn't hold back, regardless of Dian Wei's ferocious face, he walked over and stroked the book.

Liu Qi also put on a smile. He knew that it was difficult to impress Cai Yong with money and treasures, but it was much easier to use some famous rare books. At this time, literati regarded these as life.

In this way, it was not in vain that he spent a lot of effort to get this volume of books from other places. Although the process was not very beautiful, but the ending was perfect, so it was worth it.

Cai Yong stroked the books for a while, then walked back to his seat and sat down, very reluctant. He believed that Liu Qi would not deceive him, and he said yes, it must be.

　At that time, I didn’t know if Shan Hai Jing was an isolated copy, but I just borrowed it, so don’t pay too much attention to it.
