Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3 Marriage Matters
After Liu Qi came to Jingzhou, he bought a mansion next to Liu's mansion and lived in it with his guards, so it was not very far from the city lord's mansion.

Glancing at the person who was sent by Liu Biao who was respectful on the surface but showed disdain in his eyes, Liu Qi stepped forward to the door; the person who sent the message followed behind and walked outside.

Soon, Liu Qi arrived outside the city lord's mansion.

"Eldest son, the governor is waiting for you in the study, the villain will leave first!" The person who sent the message said from behind.

Liu Qi nodded, stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, and walked to the study. Although Liu Biao doesn't like him now, he has been to the City Lord's Mansion many times, and the layout here is quite familiar.

After the messenger entered the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't continue to follow, but walked to the side.

Beep, beep, beep.
Liu Qi stood outside the study and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in!" A very familiar voice sounded in the room. It was the voice of Liu Qi's father, Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng.

Liu Qi pulled the clothes on his body and felt that they were very tidy, so he opened the door and walked in.

"I have seen my lord father, and all my lords!"

When Liu Qi stepped into the study room, he saw not only Liu Biao in it, but also people standing on the left and right sides. He was taken aback for a moment, but he reacted quickly and bowed his hands respectfully.

Ignoring the looking eyes from the left and right, he continued: "I don't know why Father summoned the child over?"

"Hmph, if there is nothing else, I can't summon you here!" Liu Biao's tone was full of anger, and he was very displeased with Liu Qi's abandonment of literature and martial arts, and his inability to deal with the gentry in Jingzhou.

"My boy doesn't mean that!" Liu Qi said respectfully.

As for secretly promoting Liu Biao to come to Jingzhou to take office in advance, he will not say it out. here.

The two men dressed as scribes on the left looked at Liu Qi, and shook their heads silently at the same time; while the man dressed as a general on the right had a smile in his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face; these three people are Liu Biao's current strength. Assistant Kuai family brothers Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao of the Cai family.

Liu Qi didn't pay attention to these three people, he didn't even have the intention to win them over, otherwise the current relationship might not be so bad, but looked at Liu Biao, wanting to know what was going on.

"Forget it!" Liu Biao was very displeased with Liu Qi's disapproving expression. He wanted to educate him, but when he saw that there were outsiders, he stopped and said, "You have one this year, and it's time to get married. Cai There is a woman in the family."

Hearing this, Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, originally he wanted to leave Jingzhou for this reason and rush to Luoyang, but he didn't expect Liu Biao to come here because of his marriage.

When he heard about the Cai family, Liu Qi thought that it was the Cai family who played tricks in it. Maybe he wanted to use this to tie him to the Cai family. If he refused, then he would support his second brother with all his strength. This is just a guess, but it is true or not. Maybe only the Cai family knows.

Cai Mao glanced at it with a smile in his eyes, did he think it was impossible for him to refuse?
"My lord, my son is also planning to discuss this matter with my lord!" Liu Qi directly interrupted Liu Biao's words that he wanted to continue, not letting Liu Biao have the idea to continue, otherwise it would be a little troublesome.

The voice fell.

The smile in Cai Mao's eyes became even stronger. Liu Qi couldn't refuse this time. As long as he married someone from their Cai family, things would be easy in the future. The eldest son is always a legitimate existence.

The Kuai family brothers also looked at Liu Qi in surprise, why are they so easy to talk this time, didn't they all reject things that were usually related to Liu Qi himself very quickly?
"Oh, does Qi'er also have this intention in her heart?"

Liu Biao was slightly happy, and his words were no longer so serious. You must know that if you want to take over Jingzhou, without the support of Jingzhou gentry, it is impossible to manage Jingzhou well. However, after coming to Jingzhou, Liu Qi treats all gentry who come to visit. This is why he dislikes Liu Qi the most.

Even if you don't lean towards that side, you can't be so absolute that you don't even plan to meet.

"Father, my son heard that Mr. Cai lives in seclusion in Luoyang, and that he has a daughter, surnamed Cai Mingyan, named Zhaoji, who is sixteen years old. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a good match for my son. I originally wanted to come here to ask my father in person. My lord resigned and went to Luoyang to propose marriage in person, but I didn’t expect that my lord father just called the child here because of this!” Liu Qi said all his plans in one breath.

On the one hand, the smile in Cai Mao's eyes had disappeared, and his face was twitching. The lover didn't intend to marry their Cai family's daughter at all, but someone else.

"Nizi, you...!" Liu Biao didn't expect such a turning point, and pointed at Liu Qi with trembling fingers, wanting to curse but didn't know where to start.

At this time, Kuai Liang seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Elder Master is talking about it!"

"It is the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong and Cai Bojie. Although Cai Lao has not disclosed her identity because of the previous incident, I found out that Cai Lao has returned to Luoyang to live in seclusion." Liu Qi said.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone understood what it was. Because of the slander, Cai Yong has been on the run. It is said that he fled to the land of Wu Hui. Now he appears in Luoyang because the power of the eunuch has been gradually weakened. Otherwise, Cai Yong would never dare to return to Luoyang.

"Hmph, it's just a daughter of a guilty minister. You must know that Cai Yong's crimes are still there. Marrying a criminal minister's daughter will cause many changes!" Cai Mao said indifferently.

Hearing this, Liu Biao's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "I won't allow it!"

The two brothers of the Kuai family didn't say much, after all, it was a family affair and they couldn't control it. However, they still felt a little uncomfortable when Cai Mao said that Cai Yong was a criminal minister. You must know that Cai Yong is a famous Confucianist all over the world.

"Boy has already made up his mind. He just came to talk to his father. The day after tomorrow, he will leave for Luoyang. And I remember that the second brother seems to like the daughter of the Cai family. My father can let the second brother marry the daughter of the Cai family!" Liu Qi said plainly. .

"Get out, get out, if you dare to go to Luoyang to propose a marriage, don't step into the gate of the Liu Mansion!" Liu Biao angrily took a roll of bamboo slips on the desk and threw it on the ground, obviously very angry.

"Please forgive the child for being unfilial!"

Liu Qi saluted Liu Biao respectfully, then turned and walked out. He had already decided to go to Luoyang. As for other things, Liu Biao would understand later. After all, his body now belonged to Liu Biao's son, but his soul was not.

"Nizi, Nizi!" Liu Biao trembled angrily.

"My lord, please calm down, the eldest son just can't figure it out for a while!" Kuai Liang persuaded.
