Lu Xuan arrived at the Prefecture Mufu, successfully entered the house, and came to Liu Qi's yard.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Brother!"
Liu Qi looked expectant and asked: "Brother Xian, you went to see Cai Mao. How was the situation?"
Lu Xuan replied: "I will do things, so there will be no problem. When I saw Cai Mao, he was obviously a little impatient when he heard my purpose. He was already preparing to become an enemy of his brother. After all, the Cai family and his brother were married, but It’s normal to be dissatisfied with your brother after being left out for such a long time.”
"I told Cai Mao that even if the elder brother resists, the marriage and the birth of a child will be of great help to the Cai family."
“In the long run, it’s all good and no harm.”
"After I exhausted my words, Cai Mao still agreed to the marriage and asked me to persuade my brother. It is estimated that Cai will arrange for someone to contact you soon, or find you personally, and the matter will be settled."
call! !
Liu Qi let out a sigh of relief.
How dangerous!
If it were later, the Cai family would lose their patience and abandon him in favor of their second brother Liu Cong, and he would be in great danger.
Thanks to Lu Xuan.
Liu Qi turned around, clasped his hands together again, and said: "Brother Xian, if it weren't for you, I would be in trouble, thank you. Previously, I returned to my house, met with my father, and told Mi Heng's attitude , my father told me not to worry about it. In addition, the marriage with the Cai family was a private plan between the two of us, so I didn’t tell my father to avoid him having any objections to you. "
Lu Xuan praised: "Brother is right. You can't let your uncle know about this, otherwise, he will have objections to your brother. What your brother has to do is to stabilize the Cai family and get benefits from the Cai family. If you want to get what you want, you must first To give, if you want to gain a foothold, you must give first. In fact, this is also my uncle's consistent approach. My uncle is based in Jingzhou, and if he wants to control Jingzhou, he must give benefits to the Cai family. This must be done step by step."
Liu Qi admired: "My talk with my wise brother gave me a enlightenment. If we had met earlier, we wouldn't have taken so many detours. Before, I was completely ignorant, self-righteous, and felt that I was not noble. Now look at it. Come on, that sucks.”
Lu Xuan looked at Liu Qi's expression.
A smile in my heart.
The marriage between Liu Qi and the Cai family is actually in his interest. After all, Liu Qi has a gentle personality, and with the support of the Cai family, he can speak for Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan continued: "What my brother did was not to be complicit, but to weigh the pros and cons. It was for righteousness and for Jingzhou. As long as my brother has a bright heart, I don't think there is a problem. This heart will not change and his ambition will not change. Go Just do it.”
"Yes."
Liu Qi answered happily.
He stood up, walked to the bookshelf in the study, and took out a bag containing a roll of bamboo slips. Liu Qi returned to Lu Xuan and handed it over solemnly.
Lu Xuan asked: "What is this?"
Liu Qi explained: "Xian brother, I have no power, no wealth, and no swords or horses. Only this volume of "Shang Shu" is the most precious. This is the "Shang Shu" personally annotated by Fu Sheng in the early Han Dynasty, and it is in my collection. The most valuable volume is given to you now."
Lu Xuan said quickly: "It's too valuable. No, I can't take it. A gentleman doesn't take away what others like. My brother loves books, so I can't take it."
Fu Sheng lived in the late Qin and early Han dynasties and served as a doctor in the Qin Dynasty. The First Emperor of Qin burned books and confiscated all the books in the world. Fu Sheng hid the Book of Documents in the wall of his home. After the change of Qin and Han Dynasties and the founding of the Han Dynasty, Fu Sheng returned to his hometown and took out the Book of Ministers.
From then on, Fu Sheng specialized in teaching Shangshu.
Almost all of the "Book of Documents" handed down were annotated by Fu Sheng. Fu Sheng is a well-deserved reinnovator in the study of Shangshu.
Liu Qi looked determined and said solemnly: "Brother, I only have some value in this "Shang Shu" annotated by Fu Sheng. In fact, such a book is only valuable in the eyes of people who like it. Either people who like it, or ordinary people. Rolled bamboo slips. I give them to my worthy brother, please don’t dislike them."
Lu Xuan took the "Shang Shu" solemnly and said, "Thank you, brother, I will accept it."
Liu Qi said: "Shang Shu is very attractive to some people. Especially Pang Degong. His Pang family specializes in studying Shangshu. He knew that I had Fu Sheng's annotated Shangshu and used it to copy it. I urged him several times. , he returned it to me. My dear brother, I must put this volume away so that he doesn’t know about it.”
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.
Pang Degong likes it, so it has value.
Lu Xuan didn't care much about collecting things.
What Lu Xuan cares about is use.
If you use a volume of Shangshu and get help from Pang Degong, it will definitely be worth it.
Lu Xuan calmly put away the bamboo slips and said with a smile: "I have taken note of my brother's reminder."
Liu Qi changed the topic and talked about the current situation in the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion, talked about his understanding of the Cai family, and asked Lu Xuan for his opinion. Lu Xuan answered one by one and kept answering Liu Qi's questions. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
"Bang! Bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
Lu Meng's voice came in and reported: "Sir, Mrs. Cai invites you to come."
"knew."
Lu Xuan stood up and said: "Brother, it should be Cai Mao who sent the message. Ms. Cai knows the news that I persuaded you. Now she invites me to go to understand the situation. After I go, it won't take long before Ms. Cai will definitely contact you. , you improvise on your own.”
Liu Qi said: "Don't worry, dear brother, I understand. I won't let you down."
Lu Xuan stood up and walked out of the study. After leaving the courtyard, he handed "Shang Shu" to Lu Meng and said, "Put it away."
"Here!"
Lu Meng held it in his hand and knew it was a bamboo slip.
Just, I don’t understand what it is?
Together with Lu Xuan, he came to the outside of Cai's courtyard under the guidance of his maid. The maid stopped and asked Lu Meng to stop, allowing only Lu Xuan to enter.
Lu Xuan entered the courtyard and entered the room under the guidance of other maids.
There was a burning brazier in the room, dispelling the chill and making the room feel like warm spring.
Lu Xuan's eyes fell on Cai.
Mrs. Cai's clothes are thin, unlike walking outside wearing a big cloak, covering her body tightly. Now Cai has a lazy, charming and charming aura all over her body.
When Cai was less than thirty years old, he was at his most mature. Her thin clothes completely exposed her plump body, especially her pair of foxy eyes, which were rippling, and her red lips were even more delicate.
When Mrs. Cai saw Lu Xuan, her expression was soft, her eyes were charming, and she waved her hand and said, "My dear nephew, take a seat."
Lu Xuan said thank you and sat down.
He cleared his mind and braced himself to deal with it. This is in the Prefectural Mufu, and it is Liu Biao's territory. It will be a big loss if the boat capsizes in the gutter.
Seeing Lu Xuan's unmoving expression, Mrs. Cai stood up and walked to Lu Xuan's side, leaning down to get close to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly.
Hongmen Banquet?
What does Cai want to do?
Cai's faint fragrance lingered in Lu Xuan's breath. Especially when Mr. Cai leaned down and the softness in front of him pressed on his shoulders, Lu Xuan felt the soft touch and became even more alert.
"My dear nephew, if you persuade Liu Qi this time, does he agree?"
Came Cai's delicate voice.
Lu Xuandao: "Auntie, please rest assured that Liu Qi has agreed to the marriage."
Ms. Cai smiled coquettishly and her body trembled slightly, giving Lu Xuan a stronger touch. Seeing Lu Xuan's nervous look, she joked: "My good nephew, Feng Shen, is handsome and handsome, and he has attracted the liking of countless women."
Lu Xuan listened to Ms. Cai's words and praised her: "Auntie disgraced me. In fact, what I yearn for most is a woman like Auntie. Although she is a woman, she has a broad mind and is not weaker than a man."
Cai's body came closer again, her breath was like blue, and the breath blew by Lu Xuan's ear, which was even more tempting.
"really?"
The delicate voice makes people's bodies tingle.
"really!"
Lu Xuan answered firmly.
His eyes were clear and he said: "Unfortunately, my aunt is already married. I don't know if there are any other girls of the right age in the Cai family where my aunt lives. How about my aunt pull the strings and marry me a strange woman like my aunt?" ?”
Ms. Cai was stunned when she heard this.
Lu Xuan, what is this?
Teasing her?
Or respect her?
Cai looked at Lu Xuan with expectant eyes. From beginning to end, Lu Xuan's eyes were clear and unaffected. Under such a premise, although Cai was tempting Lu Xuan, she felt helpless in her heart.
Lu Xuan is not a simple boy.
No wonder Cai Mao said that Lu Xuan was a master who never saw rabbits but never let go of hawks, which was quite extraordinary.
Lu Xuan is indeed not simple.
Knowing that she couldn't tease Lu Xuan, Mrs. Cai returned to her seat and sat down, saying, "You ask to marry a girl from the Cai family. I can't make the decision. It's just that this time, you helped me persuade Liu Qi. Although the Cai family gave It’s good for you, but what do you want from me?”
Lu Xuan looked at Mrs. Cai who had returned to seriousness. He went a step further and said, "I want a woman like my aunt. Unfortunately, my aunt is already married."
"Giggle..."
Ms. Cai laughed when she heard this.
She looked at Lu Xuan, her charming eyes turned, and a smile appeared on her face, which made her branches tremble.
She didn't think she had confused Lu Xuan.
This guy was very clever, his eyes were clear all the time, and he didn't have any greed or desire. He was clearly flattering her. Just listening to Lu Xuan's words, Cai's heart was filled with joy.
Who doesn't like to hear good things?
After Ms. Cai smiled coquettishly, the foxy smile on her face disappeared, she became serious, and said: "Lu Xuan, you helped my aunt a lot this time. So I promise you that in front of your husband, I will help you in everything that involves you. "
"Thank you, Auntie."
Lu Xuan also smiled in his heart.
He said: "Auntie is not only a beautiful person, but also has a beautiful heart. My nephew is very grateful to auntie for her great kindness."
Ms. Cai waved her hand and said, "Okay, I've said what needs to be said. You can go back. It's not appropriate for you to stay too long."
"Goodbye nephew."
Lu Xuan bowed, turned and left.
Ms. Cai looked at Lu Xuan's leaving figure. After waiting for a while, she ordered: "Okay, come out."
After the words fell, Cai Hao walked out.
Cai Hao asked with a smile on his face: "Second sister, is this guy Lu Xuan not simple?"
Cai said: "How can it be simple for a person who took charge of Lujiang County at a young age and defeated Yuan Shu? Lu Xuan is not moved by women, but he is a good talker and a good person. This person can be contacted more. In addition, Lu Xuan is not moved by women. What do you think of the marriage mentioned by Lu Xuan?"
Cai Mao shook his head and said: "Second sister, this is impossible. Even if the Cai family is willing, can the lord be willing? The lord wants to tie the Cai family to Jingzhou and to him, so it is impossible to agree."
Ms. Cai nodded and said, "In that case, forget it. It's up to you, Lu Xuan. It's always right to have one more good relationship."
Cai Mao smiled and said, "I understand. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to give Lu Xuan food."
Ms. Cai nodded and said, "Go back."
"Here!"
Cai Mao followed and left.
After Lu Xuan left the Prefecture Mufu, he felt excited. This time he met with Liu Qi and got a volume of "Shang Shu". He also got 20,000 shi of grain and a thousand sets of armor from the Cai family. Plus the Cai family's promise, it was a huge profit. Big.
This wave is not a loss.
Lu Xuan returned to his residence in a good mood and asked Mi Fang to prepare the food and wine for the evening in preparation for the banquet for Yi Ji and Kuai Yue.
In the evening, night falls.
Lu Xuan was waiting in the hall. Not long after, Lu Meng reported that Kuai Yue and Yi Ji had arrived together.
