The Lu family residence.
In the backyard, Lu Xuan and Xiao Qiao were chatting, talking about Mi Heng.
Lu Xuan held Xiao Qiao's hand and warned: "I have a lot of things to do in Xiangyang during this period. When you want to go shopping, go alone. When I am free, I will take you to play."
Xiao Qiao nodded and said: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, you are busy with your business, I won't disturb you. This is my first time coming to Xiangyang City, and it is indeed different here. Xiangyang is bigger than Shu County, much more prosperous, and has more people."
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "This is the Jingzhou administrative office, so it is naturally more prosperous."
Xiao Qiao blinked his eyes, half-smiled, and said, "Brother-in-law, when you get to Xiangyang, you can't do whatever you want. Wherever you go, it's easy for you to pick on flowers."
Lu Xuan sighed: "Xiao Qiao, you have wronged me. I have always been clean and tidy, I never look away when I walk, and I never like to look at beauties. I am face-blind and can never tell the difference between beautiful and not beautiful. So, how could I possibly Are you going to flirt with women?"
Xiao Qiao curled her lips and muttered: "A man's mouth is a liar, I don't believe it."
Lu Xuan rubbed Xiao Qiao's hand and said, "Even my own woman doesn't believe in me. I'm such a failure as a human being."
Xiao Qiao glared at Lu Xuan's hand that was slowly climbing up, and said coquettishly: "Brother-in-law, put your hand down first, and I will believe you."
"Forget it, I still don't believe it."
Lu Xuan smiled.
The two were talking, laughing, and joking with each other.
After a long chat, Xiao Qiao tidied up her messy hair, leaned next to Lu Xuan, and said: "Brother-in-law, I heard that pregnancy will make you very ugly. Do you think I will be very ugly if I get pregnant in the future?" What about ugly?"
Lu Xuandao: "You are worrying unfounded and thinking about things that are impossible to happen. Your sister is pregnant. Has she become ugly?"
"That's not true."
Xiao Qiao shook his head.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Isn't this okay? So, there is no need to worry about anything."
"My lord, Mi Fang would like to see you."
Lu Meng came in a hurry, looking a little anxious. After he stood still, he lowered his head and looked at his nose and nose, looking down at his eyebrows.
"knew."
Lu Xuan replied.
He patted Xiao Qiao's hand, stood up, and took Lu Meng to the study. Looking at Mi Fang who came back, he asked, "What happened?"
Mi Fang replied: "Reporting to my lord, I got the news that Liu Qi went to the post house to visit Ni Heng."
Lu Xuan started to think.
Liu Qi went to the post house.
This means that Liu Biao knows the news about his deal with Mi Heng. Liu Biao did not go in person, but arranged for his son to go. There should be two reasons.
On the one hand, Liu Biao's status is too high. Going to visit Mi Heng can establish Liu Biao's image as a polite and virtuous corporal, but if Liu Biao goes to visit and is criticized by Mi Heng again, it will be embarrassing. What's more, Liu Biao probably didn't want to go either.
On the other hand, letting Liu Qi go to see Mi Heng allows Liu Qi to win over Mi Heng. This is an opportunity for Liu Qi to win over people's hearts.
Mi Fang looked a little anxious and said solemnly: "My lord, Liu Qi went to visit Mi Heng. If Mi Heng is won over by Liu Qi, we have a grudge against Mi Heng, which means we also have a grudge against Liu Qi. This may be detrimental to us."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "Nature can be changed easily, and Mi Heng will not change. In addition, Liu Qi went to see Mi Heng at this time. For a person who is arrogant, extremely sensitive, and extremely concerned about his reputation, If you go to visit, it will only make him feel more uncomfortable."
Mi Fang smiled and said, "That's true."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Go and arrange the carriage, and I'll go to the post house to 'visit' Mi Heng."
Mi Fang's eyes widened and she said in shock: "Lord, we have a grudge against Ni Heng, especially the grudge about throwing excrement, which cannot be resolved at all. Going to visit at this time would be humiliating ourselves. And there is no way for us to reconcile with Ni Heng. Does it make any sense?"
Lu Xuan said easily: "Of course I know Mi Heng's temperament. He is successful at a young age, and no one takes him seriously. If such a famous person is slandered by me, he will never let go of the conflict and will definitely take revenge. Since he is an enemy, Naturally, we must continue to suppress him, which is the purpose of visiting him.”
Lu Xuan's face was indifferent.
Mi Heng came directly to the door to provoke him, even his old father scolded him. Lu Xuan had no mercy for such people.
This is self-inflicted.
Mi Fang was even more puzzled and asked: "Since the master wants to beat him, why do he still go to visit him? This is contradictory."
Lu Xuan explained: "Liu Qi is going to visit, and I am going too, and I want to use Liu Qi to brush up my reputation and establish the image of a polite and virtuous corporal. With Liu Qi as a foil, it will be more effective."
"You are responsible for external affairs, but you must remember that public opinion is very important. If you don't manage it, others will."
"The purpose of our coming to Xiangyang seems to be to celebrate Liu Biao's birthday, but the fundamental reason for our coming is to gain benefits. No matter how small the mosquito is, it still has meat. No matter how small the sparrow is, it still has all the internal organs."
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and he said: "So whatever is beneficial to me, I will naturally do it. Although Liu Qi has no real power, he is Liu Biao's son after all, so he still has a certain influence."
Mi Fang was thoughtful after listening.
Public opinion?
The discussion of scholars?
Mi Fang nodded and said: "I have taken note of this. I will definitely think more about it."
Lu Xuan asked: "Prepare some medicinal materials, medicinal materials that can clear away heat and reduce fire. Finally, do you have any people in the post house?"
Mi Fang said: "Yes!"
Lu Xuan ordered: "You arrange it so that when I arrive, someone will take the initiative to call out my identity. If you want to visit, you must reveal your identity and go with a big fanfare. Otherwise, your work will be in vain."
Mi Fang chuckled upon hearing this.
My lord is really...
He quickly made arrangements and prepared the medicinal materials, and then he and Lu Xuan left the residence in a carriage and went straight to the post house.
When Lu Xuan arrived outside the post house, people were coming and going in the post house and it was very lively. Because Liu Biao was going to hold a birthday banquet, many scholars came to attend.
The moment Lu Xuan entered the post house, someone shouted, "Lu Xuan is here."
In an instant, pairs of eyes looked over. The eyes of each scholar were very surprised, even a little shocked.
No one expected that Lu Xuan was here.
What is Lu Xuan doing?
Yi Ji is also here, and he is responsible for receiving these scholars. Yi Ji saw Lu Xuan, strode up, cupped his hands and said, "Why did Prefect Lu come to the post house?"
Many people had their ears open and were listening. They all wanted to hear what Lu Xuan was doing?
Do you want to beat up the drowned dog?
Are you going to deal with Ni Heng further?
Lu Xuan looked gentle and said calmly: "Mr. Ji Bo, I came to visit Mi Heng. Because of Mi Heng's provocation, I didn't see him. And because Mi Heng's words were too harsh, I couldn't help but make people angry. Throwing feces on him. I thought about this carefully, but it was still a bit inappropriate. After all, Mi Heng is a famous person, and I embarrassed him and lost his grace. So, I came to visit Mi Heng and apologize. "
Wow! !
There was a lot of chatter around.
"Prefect Lu is really a courteous corporal. He took the initiative to apologize when he was provoked. If it were me, someone like Mi Heng, I would wish to beat him to death."
"Prefect Lu is truly a model of courteous and virtuous corporal."
"Actually, I don't think there is any need for Governor Lu to apologize. Governor Lu has no friendship with Ni Heng at all, and you Heng didn't hand over a greeting card, so he came to provoke you. If Governor Lu wins against Mi Heng, it will be a suppression of Mi Heng. If Governor Lu loses, Now, Mi Heng keeps taunting you. There is nothing wrong with Prefect Lu not seeing Mi Heng."
"This is all your fault. This guy is annoying to begin with. He can't stand anyone."
Countless scholars discussed it.
The discussion continued, with many people criticizing Mi Heng and praising Corporal Lu Xuan Lixian. No one thought that what Lu Xuan did was wrong. Because what Lu Xuan did, he deserved the title of Corporal Courtesy and Xian. After all, Mi Heng hated him in the first place.
When Yiji heard the commotion around him, he also advised: "Prefect Lu, there is actually no need to apologize."
Lu Xuan looked determined and said solemnly: "I must apologize. I did some unqualified things when I was angry before. This time, I have prepared a gift and want to visit Mi Heng in person."
People around him praised Lu Xuan again.
Everyone thought Lu Xuan was benevolent and righteous.
"Mi Heng, you really don't know what is good or bad. I came to visit you on behalf of my father. I tried to say something nice, but after a lot of effort, you actually said arrogant words, saying that my father was just pretending to let me come to visit you. You deserved to have shit thrown at you. You bring it upon yourself.”
On the second floor, there was suddenly a loud curse.
"Go away, go away... I don't need your fake visit. You said it was a visit, but you just came to see my joke. Liu Qi, forget it, you are a cat crying like a mouse and pretending to be compassionate. You are such a weak waste and an incompetent person, you think Would I appreciate you for visiting me? Dream on."
There were hysterical sounds.
When Liu Qi heard Mi Heng's words, his face turned red with anger and he strode down from the second floor.
In the lobby, many people were whispering to each other and talking constantly. These people also said that Mi Heng was ignorant.
Liu Biao's son came to visit, which was a good intention.
You Heng doesn't know a good heart.
Yi Ji saw Liu Qi coming down, cupped his hands and said, "Yi Ji, I have met the eldest son."
Liu Qi said: "Mr. Ji Bo."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Lu Xuan, I have met Brother Shi."
Liu Qi didn't expect Lu Xuan to come. He put away his anger, put a smile on his face, and asked, "What is brother Lu Xian doing here?"
Lu Xuan replied: "I'm here to apologize to Mi Heng and visit him by the way. It's better to resolve enemies than to end them. If we can talk things over, we can turn hostility into friendship. So, I came here in person."
Liu Qi's face turned cold when he mentioned Mi Heng.
He has always been good-natured.
However, after seeing Mi Heng, he became completely angry and could not suppress his anger.
Liu Qi said: "Brother Lu Xian, Mi Heng is hopeless. This man is self-righteous and arrogant. I came to visit him, but he said evil words. If you go to see him, he will be even more angry and scolded. No Must go.”
Lu Xuan said firmly: "I caused the incident. No matter what, I still have to visit him. It's his own business whether Mi Heng will not forgive him. Whether I do it or not is my own business."
When Liu Qi heard this, he was in awe.
Lu Xuanzhen is a gentleman.
No wonder his father admired Lu Xuan very much.
Liu Qi looked eager and said quickly: "Brother Xian, I will go with you to avoid embarrassment for you."
"No, I'll go by myself."
Lu Xuan looked solemn, shook his head and said: "Brother Shi has just been angry, there is no need to be angry again. Brother Shi, wait for me, I will go see Mi Heng, and then talk to Brother Shi in detail. It's rare to meet Brother Shi, let's have a good chat."
Liu Qi was also moved by Lu Xuan's enthusiasm and said with a smile, "No problem."
The others looked at Lu Xuan with admiration. Prefect Lu is admirable for his integrity and gentle temperament.
After Lu Xuan handed over to Yi Ji and Liu Qi, he led Mi Fang, Lu Meng and others up the stairs towards Mi Heng's room.
