At three o'clock in the day, Xiahou Mao returned to the post with a guilty conscience.
He also heard a knock on the door last night, but at the critical moment, he didn't have much to worry about. After a night of entanglement, he had already exhausted all his energy, and he was already exhausted if he wanted to go out.
"Zilin, you are so romantic and happy!"
Just as he was watching carefully, a sour voice came from the left, it was Cao Tai.
"Hehe, I'm sorry!" Xia Houmao laughed dryly and asked hurriedly: "How did the conversation go last night?"
"Brother Zilin, please come in and talk." Xiahou Ba greeted at the door.
Seeing that the two of them did not blame him, Xia Houmao felt uneasy. He obediently entered the room and stood there without daring to sit down.
"Please sit down!" Xia Houba said with a smile on his face: "I have heard for a long time that my brother is famous for being romantic. He is just famous in Xuchang. When I see him today, he is indeed well-deserved."
Xia Houmao waved his hands and smiled dryly: "My dear brother, don't make fun of me. If you have something to say, just say it."
Xiahou Ba sighed: "I talked to Zhang Wei last night and found out that what he said was half true and half false. He didn't have much gold. Not only was his only house abandoned, he also owed a lot of romantic debts among the water and clouds, and he was preparing to pay it off with the house. .”
"How dare you lie to me, this bastard!" Xia Houmao was furious when he heard this, "I'm going to kill him now."
Xiahou Ba dissuaded him and said: "Brother, please calm down. Although this person is already in decline, he is a daughter of a famous family and is quite talented. It is rare for him to be loyal. If we can bring him back to Xuchang and recommend him to the prime minister, it will be a great achievement."
Xia Houmao suddenly lost interest: "In that case, Zhong Quan can just go and make arrangements."
Xiahou Ba added: "I have seen the Zhang family's house, and it is a good place. It would be a pity to give it to a brothel. Why not buy it? Zilin can take the black pearl home and avoid being bullied by others. Secondly, Now we have a stronghold in Jingzhou, which can be used to check for information, which will be useful in the future."
"How do you know..." Xia Houmao was nervous for a while, and then he thought that Zhang Wei must have informed him. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "For the great cause of the Prime Minister, I am naturally willing to pay, but that Black Pearl is just helping me take care of the housework, you can No nonsense allowed.”
Xiahou Ba said with a smile: "Of course, it is reasonable for my brother to buy property in Xiangyang and find someone to look after the house and the courtyard."
"Put it on me!" Xia Houmao's chest slapped loudly.
Zhang Wei had previously redeemed the black pearl and given it to himself. It was a time of inseparability. He would be beaten to death by the one-eyed father when he took it back, and he was reluctant to give it away.
Zhengchou didn't know how to deal with it, and Xiahou Ba's suggestion was exactly what he wanted. This was really a pillow for him when he fell asleep.
While they were discussing, an invitation came from the entourage, but it was from Liu Qi. They were getting engaged tomorrow, and by the way, they were invited to the government office for a banquet tomorrow.
Xiahou Ba agreed and asked Xiahou Mao to go to Zhang Wei immediately to discuss and take him under his command.
Cao Tai couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you tell Zi Lin the truth?"
Xiahou Ba sighed helplessly: "He is now full of wine and sex. If he makes a mistake while drunk, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
Cao Tai nodded slightly, and the two of them could not help but think of the scene of the dancing girl twisting last night.
…
There was a lot of noise in the Yamen of Xiangyang Mansion. Large cars and small cars kept coming in and out. The servants and servants were all very busy.
From the lobby to the living room and study room, all the furniture was changed. All tables and seats were removed and turned into high tables and round chairs.
There are square tables and benches in the courtyard, and there is also a special exhibition area. The tables and chairs made of rosewood, rosewood and rosewood are exquisitely carved. There is also a large white marble round table inlaid with gold edges, which is very luxurious.
Liu Qi was leaning on the lounge chair in the corridor, swaying and drinking tea, when suddenly a woman in a yellow shirt came over, wearing a veil, her beautiful face looming.
Liu Qi sat up and said with a smile: "Ms. Xi is indeed beautiful and smart. These tables, chairs and furniture are completely beyond my imagination."
"Young Master, thank you for the award!" It was Xi Yuan who came, and after seeing the gift, she sat across from her. "It's all thanks to the Young Master's whimsy that these furnitures are possible. What the little girl did is just the icing on the cake!"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "With brocade but no flowers, how can it show its beauty? Confucian scholars all say that fancy skills are demoralizing, but who doesn't pursue comfort and enjoyment?"
Xi Yuan smiled softly: "The young master has since returned to Xiangyang. He first organized a troupe of dancers. I heard that all of them are excellent in sex and art. They have been wandering among the water and clouds for the past two days. He really knows how to enjoy himself."
"Miss, you really care about me!" Liu Qi looked at Xi Yuan, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "We are getting engaged tomorrow, and you are bound to me?"
Xi Yuan frowned slightly and said quietly: "The young master is closely related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. I am just worried that the young master is addicted to women and loses his ambition by playing with things."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Miss, don't worry, the dancer team is actually prepared for my father. He has worked hard all his life, can't he enjoy it?"
Xi Yuan looked over with sharp eyes: "Liu Mu is a famous scholar today, a leader of scholars, and he is also a womanizer?"
Liu Qi put on a matter-of-fact look and said with emotion: "The sage said: Food and sex are the same thing!"
Xi Yuan snorted softly in her nostrils: "Master, are you making excuses for your future?"
"How can I, Liu Qi, be a lecherous person?" Liu Qi immediately looked upright and said with fists in his hands: "It's enough for me to have the young lady! As smart and capable as you are, you must be a good wife."
Xi Yuan stared at Liu Qi: "Seriously?"
"Of course!" Liu Qi nodded and said, "Shizu once said: When you marry a wife, you should be like Yin Lihua. When I marry a wife, I should be like Xi Yuanyuan."
"Sigh, you're such a talker!" After all, they haven't gotten engaged yet. Xi Yuan blushed a little when Liu Qi spoke so bluntly. She lowered her head and said quietly: "A man has three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the young master is a member of the royal family? Isn't it because I'm jealous?" Being fierce in nature just reminds the young master not to indulge in beauty and forget his ambitions."
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of propriety!" Liu Qi felt a little moved in his heart. If it were not limited by the times, he would have been unable to hold back the beauty in his arms.
At this time, Mrs. Fan and Du Ling'er also brought their vehicles to the exhibition area and placed various jewelry such as coral, agate, and jade on the tables one by one, instantly making the tables and chairs look more precious.
Xi Yuan looked at the busy mother and daughter, glanced at Liu Qi, and sighed softly: "I think these two are the virtuous wives of the young master."
Liu Qi had a sour taste when he heard this and said with a smile: "Those accessories are the icing on the cake! Although they are exquisite, they are dispensable, but tables and chairs are indispensable. Without tables and chairs for decoration, it is just a castle in the air!" "
When Xi Yuan heard these words, a sweet feeling surged through her heart, her eyebrows curved into a crescent shape, and she suddenly asked: "Is Shuiyunjian also the property of the Zhao family?"
"That's right!" Liu Qi nodded and smiled: "But now it belongs to me, and of course... it also belongs to you!"
"I don't want it!" Xi Yuan raised her chin in disdain and said, "But the distilled wine taught by the young master has already begun to show results. If it can be used in Shuiyunjian first, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole city."
"No!" Liu Qi stretched out a finger and shook it gently: "It is famous all over the world!"
