Chapter 78: The Different Liu Cong

Mi Zhen flashed out from behind Wei Shi, startling Cai.

After seeing clearly who was in front of her, Cai's face turned cloudy and became brighter and brighter.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Cai was born into the wealthy Cai family in Jingzhou.

Mi Zhen was born into the wealthy Mi family in Xuzhou.

Not only do the two have similar family backgrounds, but their marital status is also the same: a marriage based on family interests.

Cai was only sixteen or seventeen years old when she married Liu Biao as her stepmother, and Mi Zhen was almost the same age when she married Liu Bei.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei, one is over forty, almost fifty, and the other is also over thirty. In this era when life expectancy is generally short, both of them are old men.

The almost identical situation gave Cai and Mi Zhen a lot of common ground. When Liu Bei was stationed in Xiangyang, Cai and Mi Zhen also moved around a lot.

"I, the Mi family, met General Zhennan's wife. Along the way, I saw the husband and wife of Wei Fujun deeply in love and respecting each other as if they were guests. It made people jealous..."

While Mi Zhen was talking, she stepped forward very affectionately, with no trace of disappointment in her expression.

Mi Zhen had experienced countless etiquette interactions among the female relatives of wealthy families when she was in Xuzhou. Who she met and what she said were all trivial matters to her.

Mi Zhen was extremely grateful to be rescued by Wei Shi and Han Qiang this time.

From Xuzhou to Jingzhou, she has lost contact with her former best friends and best friends. Now with Han Qiang, she has regained the happiness she had before when she was not married.

"Madam, why are you here with Mr. Wei? Why hasn't General Zuo arrived yet? General Zhennan has been waiting for a long time." Cai asked Mi Zhen quietly as she closed the distance.

"General Zuo..., maybe something is wrong with him? By the way, Mrs. Wei is my good sister. I think she helped me a lot when we were in Xinye. The cloth from the weaving workshop is beautiful and strong.

......."

Mi Zhen was well-informed and knew what wealthy women like Cai liked. As soon as she changed the topic to weaving, Cai became affectionate with Han Qiang.

"Is the Mi family's weaving workshop really the first to be built by Mrs. Wei? Oh, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Otherwise, I would have been a part of it no matter what."

Ms. Cai patted her chest and said.

Although she was born into the Cai family, she was a commoner.

Before marrying Liu Biao as her stepmother, Cai didn't have much money left.

Although she now has status and more private money, if she can get more, Cai will not refuse.

Several women were talking.

Han Qiang was waiting gently at the side. If Cai and Mi Zhen wanted to ask her anything, she would answer them openly. This calmness made Cai take a high look.

With Mi Zhen around, Han Qiang was gradually accepted by the Cai family.

Originally, she had the intention to encourage Wei Shi to divorce Han Qiang and marry someone else, but now she saw that Han Qiang was a nice person and could make money. If she could become a best friend, it would be a good choice.

Wei Shi was also accompanied by someone.

This person was none other than Liu Cong, the second son of Liu Biao.

Liu Cong was actually about the same age as Wei Shi, both under twenty.

In terms of appearance, he is about seven feet tall, thin and tall, a pretty good young man.

Last year, Liu Cong married Cai Mao's daughter, Cai's niece, under Cai's introduction. The newlywed husband was immediately in high spirits.

"Master Wei, Cong has been admiring your name for a long time. When you come to Xiangyang this time, you should stay a little longer. Cong has a few friends who want to talk to Master Wei."

Liu Cong is very enthusiastic and talkative, and he does not have the kind of reserved temperament.

This surprised Wei Shi.

However, it’s right to think about it carefully.

Liu Biao was eight feet tall, very handsome, and a very handsome man. The son he gave birth to was unlikely to be any worse in appearance.

In terms of Liu Cong's character, if he was really too cowardly to be on the stage, the Cai family, the Zhang family, including the Kuai family, would not elect Liu Cong as their heir.

Just as Wei Shi was talking to Liu Cong, the figure of Emperor Uncle Liu Bei appeared outside the door.

The year before, when Liu Bei first arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Biao went out of the city to greet him, and his attitude was extremely warm.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Liu Biao's attitude at this time was no longer the same.

Liu Bei made friends with celebrities in Jingzhou and praised his reputation, which made Liu Biao feel in danger.

Therefore, in the past two months, Liu Biao specifically ordered that Liu Bei was not allowed to enter Nanjun to search around without an order from the Prefectural Mufu.

This time, Liu Bei did not wait for Mi Zhen and crossed the Han River into the city first. He wanted to grab some time and go to Xiangyang City to meet Pang Degong, Liu Ba and other hermits to talk about friendship.

"General Zuo, this is the prefect of Wei in Fangling. My nephew heard that the prefect of Wei was in Neixiang County, not far from General Zuo's Xinye County. You must have known each other for a long time..."

Liu Cong, a junior, was very polite in front of Liu Bei, but his words were a bit unpleasant.

What does "certain acquaintance" mean? Liu Cong just found out clearly that Wei Shi and Liu Bei have never met.

Wei Shi is the prefect of a county. Before he became famous, he was right under the nose of Liu Bei. It is ridiculous for you, the great Uncle Liu, to turn a blind eye to such a great talent.

"Brother Cong didn't know that General Zuo was busy leading the Northern Expedition against Cao Cao and carrying out the important task of restoring the Han Dynasty. The army was busy with conquests and was busy with all kinds of affairs, so there was no time for him."

"To put it in detail, Shi was lucky enough to be together with Captain Zhao Yun and Captain Zhao, leading General Zuo's orders to lure the enemy deep in front of Bowang Slope. That fire almost wiped out Xiahou Dun's army...

"

While Wei Shi was talking about the battle at Bowangpo, he smiled and stepped forward to greet Liu Bei.

Although this was the first time they met, Wei Shi had heard about Uncle Liu Huang who had suffered many defeats and battles many times and was very familiar with him.

"Haha, Zilong mentioned the matter of Mr. Wei to me. Unfortunately, the military situation was urgent at that time and we didn't have the opportunity to meet him."

"Bei heard that after Wei Fujun lured the enemy in Fangcheng, he also took his subordinates to Yingchuan County, during which he defeated Cao General Han Hao. The details of this, Wei Fujun will explain in detail later.

Once you say it, let me vent your anger."

Liu Bei held Wei Shi's hand affectionately and shook it vigorously.

Liu Cong's superficial and divisive remarks were nothing to Liu Bei.

Wei Shi had a low reputation and weak strength before, so Liu Bei didn't like him, but things are different now.

For Liu Bei, a prefect who had fought against Cao's army head-on and won two battles in Xinye and Kunyang was someone he could form an alliance with.

If Wei Shi is befriended, when the Northern Expedition begins again, Wei Shi will send troops from Dongsan County to the north, and both sides will respond, creating a huge momentum.
