"Butler, of course I have to go see Mrs. Cai." Liu Qi, who was dressed in civilian clothes but exuded a sense of heroism, walked forward and looked directly at the road ahead.
"Young master, I think it's a bit mysterious. Since your brother Liu Cong was born, Mrs. Cai has been more closely related to her son. You haven't paid greetings to Mrs. Cai for a long time. It's okay if you don't go to greet Mrs. Cai. If you look back now, no one will say anything.
What."
The housekeeper Liu Zhong advised Liu Qi, and he was very worried that Mrs. Cai would not look at him well when Liu Qi asked him to come. This is not Mr. Liu Qi's mansion, this is Mrs. Cai's territory. If Mrs. Cai starts a rebellion, she can also be said to be under the command of Mr. Liu Qi.
Liu Zhong, the steward of the lord Liu Biao, did not dare to draw his sword.
"Steward, there is no turning back when you draw your bow. Besides, even if greeting Mrs. Cai this time can't change anything, at least I must let Mrs. Cai know that I am not dead, and let Mrs. Cai know that I am now studying under General Huang.
She is a disciple of General Zhonglang, so even if Mrs. Cai doesn't care about her father's feelings, she must also consider General Huang's feelings."
"Oh, that makes sense. However, Mrs. Cai's temperament is unpredictable, and she is surrounded by General Cai Mao's heavy troops. If she disagrees with you, your life will be in danger."
"You don't have to worry about this housekeeper. This is a trap. This is in my father's governor's house. Even if Mrs. Cai hates me, she won't cause trouble here and now. If there is any change, it's up to you and me, Chen Jin and others.
The four guards can also rush out of the mansion. Besides..." Liu Qi stopped talking.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Zhong asked in confusion, just thinking that if Mrs. Cai sent her personal guards to arrest Liu Qi, he, Chen Jin, Chen Yin and other five people would be loyal to the young master to the death, and their blood would be splashed on the governor's mansion.
"Besides, stepmother is also a mother." Liu Qi replied, seeming to be talking to himself.
"Oh..." Liu Zhong said oh and was completely speechless. He did not agree with Liu Qi's statement that his stepmother is also his mother. This nephew is still soft-hearted. The Cai siblings have repeatedly plotted to kill Liu Qi. Liu Qi actually did this to Mrs. Cai.
A woman with a snake-like heart has illusions.
Liu Qi said that his stepmother was also his mother, which made Liu Zhong suddenly feel a deep sense of frustration in front of Liu Qi. Obviously, killing the four maids Mei Lan, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum in the young master's house did not completely arouse Liu Qi's hatred for the Cai siblings.
Hatred and bloody, but Liu Zhong couldn't argue that Liu Qi was wrong. Isn't his stepmother his mother?
Liu Zhong sighed in his heart, nephew, nephew, the times are turbulent, wars are everywhere, and tigers are roaring and wolves are howling everywhere, how can a man be as kind as a woman?
While Liu Qi and Liu Zhong were talking, they saw a gray brick wall decorated with glazed tiles appearing in front of them. In the middle of the wall was a moon-shaped stone arch. Two maids were waiting beside the stone door. The wall was covered with ivy.
The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted out from within the wall, and bursts of laughter could be heard.
The group of people stood in front of the stone gate holding gifts. Because in the past few years, Liu Zhong followed Liu Biao on his back and often went in and out of Mrs. Cai's residence. Therefore, the two maids in front of the door knew Liu Zhong and took the initiative to bow to Liu Zhong and salute: "Steward."
Liu Zhong held the silk quilt in his hand and could not return the courtesy, so he said: "I would like to ask you two ladies to report to Madam Cai that the young master has come to say hello to Madam."
"Okay, housekeeper, wait a minute." One of the maids ran into the courtyard, while the other one was still standing by the door. No one could enter without Mrs. Cai's permission.
The maid who ran into the courtyard quickly turned around and said, "I've told you, madam. Madam is playing with the young master on the swing. Please wait a moment."
Wait a moment? What is the concept of a moment? Of course Liu Zhong knew what Mrs. Cai meant. The magic horse was swinging on the swing. It was not like an iron bird flying up to the sky but not coming back. She actually asked the dignified Jingzhou eldest son Liu Qi to wait outside the door. When would she finish playing?
, when can we go in? What’s the matter!
Liu Zhong immediately lowered his face and glanced at the young master Liu Qi. He found that Liu Qi was not annoyed or angry. He was standing respectfully in front of the full moon-shaped arch with a long sword in his hand, showing no signs of irritation.
It was only a moment, but the time for a stick of incense had long passed, and the laughter in the courtyard wall had disappeared for a long time. Mrs. Cai must have accompanied the young master Liu Cong to play on the swing, but there was still no sign of Mrs. Cai sending someone to greet Liu Qi.
Now Liu Zhong couldn't stand anymore. It was obvious that Mrs. Cai wanted to make the young master Liu Qi shut out. This was too much bullying. If it weren't for seeing Liu Qi still standing respectfully, Liu Zhong would have really wanted to curse at the courtyard wall.
So happy.
After the two sticks of incense were passed, the four guards, including housekeeper Liu Zhong and Chen Jin, had been standing for a long time. Their legs were sore and their hands were numb. Fortunately, the objects in their hands were all silk and satin, which did not weigh much, but they were left to dry outside the door.
The feeling is really frustrating.
Liu Qi was still standing in front of the door as if nothing had happened, neither talking nor smiling, with no expression on his face. Liu Zhong became angry and loudly said to the maid: "Please tell me, madam, that the young master is here."
Madam, please greet me."
"Yes, housekeeper, please calm down. I'll go right now." The maid who had just entered the yard to report the situation looked at the other maid with some embarrassment, then changed to another maid and went to report to Mrs. Cai again.
Awed by the majesty of the housekeeper, the maid who returned to the courtyard to report ran in and out again. She said helplessly: "Butler, please come back. Madam said she is not feeling well today and it is inconvenient to see guests."
"What? I was playing in the courtyard just now. I made my young master wait for more than half an hour, and he actually said it was inconvenient to see guests." Shi Ke was not to be insulted. When Liu Zhong heard the fire, he threw the silk in his hand at Chen Jin, and
Press the sword and rush in angrily.
"Presumptuous." Liu Qi, who was expressionless at first, shouted loudly, stopped the housekeeper, put on a smile, and gave the maid a fist: "I'm sorry to trouble you two ladies, please help me accept these gifts.
Since it is inconvenient for Madam to see guests, it is not inconvenient for me to disturb you. Please send my greetings to Madam for me. Thank you very much."
"Yes." The two maids were so surprised that they bent down and returned the greeting. The eldest son of the governor of Jingzhou gave the maid a fist-cup salute. What a magnanimous gesture.
After speaking, Liu Qi ordered the housekeeper, Chen Jin and others to place Cai's favorite things such as silks and satins in front of the moon-shaped stone arch, and once again bid farewell to the two maids politely.
Looking at Liu Qi, who was dressed in commoner clothes and stood respectfully in front of the stone gate, enduring three sticks of incense without losing any temper, leaving with the housekeeper and his entourage, the two maids had not yet come to their senses, their eyes were a little crazy.
"Sister, I said that the eldest young master seems to be a different person today." A maid said.
"Yes, it's so strange. A playboy who has always been dressed in fine clothes and has a smooth tongue is actually polite to a corporal. I see that the eldest son is very heroic today and greets you with a smile, but he endures so many hardships in front of the door. Alas..." Another
The maid looked steadily at the direction Liu Qi left.
"Sister, what are you looking at? The eldest son has long since disappeared."
"Oh, I saw a group of wild geese flying in front of me."
"Sister, don't lie to me. It's still early autumn. There are no wild geese flying to the south. It's most likely that sister is attracted to the eldest young master."
"You deserve a beating, you... the eldest son, do you and I dare to think so? Take the gift from the eldest son into the house and report it to the madam quickly."
In front of Mrs. Cai's moon-shaped stone arch, the laughter of two maids could be heard.
…
Liu Qi was full of expectations and wanted to take the opportunity to greet Mrs. Cai, and use his handsome demeanor in front of Mrs. Cai to alleviate Mrs. Cai's hatred of Liu Qi. Unexpectedly, he was rejected. Mrs. Cai's actions completely broke Liu Qi's "stepmother is also a mother" concept.
In terms of concept, Liu Qi felt that he was far inferior to the housekeeper Liu Zhong in understanding people.
The group of people failed to enter Mrs. Cai's residence and left angrily. When the housekeeper Liu Zhong saw Liu Qi's blood-cold face, he didn't blame her too much. He shouldn't have paid his respects to Mrs. Cai in the first place, so he couldn't stop him. Damn Mrs. Cai, that woman said yes.
Liu Qi was asked to wait outside the door, and after waiting for three sticks of incense, he was sent back without even meeting him, saying that it was "inconvenient to see the guest." This was simply a great shame and humiliation.
This woman's casual excuse for being inconvenient to see guests is a natural excuse. What inconvenience is, isn't it just once a month for women? It seems that you, Mrs. Cai, are the only women in the world to have that once a month? You are a vicious woman, and you won't die until you die.
Strange. You can accompany your beloved son Liu Cong on the swing and play with a smile. Will you die if you meet the young master? Liu Zhong began to curse Mrs. Cai.
People don't play like this. Is this stepmother still a mother? Thanks to the young master, Liu Qi can endure it and has no temper at all. The housekeeper Liu Zhongshi was so angry that he sat with Liu Qi on the way back to the mansion of the young master Liu Qi.
Liu Zhong, who was riding in a carriage, lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Master, don't you have any idea?"
"No." Liu Qi shook his head and spoke calmly, preventing Liu Zhong from seeing any thoughts in his heart.
Just kidding, how can I not have any ideas? If someone respects me, I respect others; if someone chops off my arm, I stab his heart. Is Liu Qi so easy to bully? Since you don’t regard me as your son, you always think
If you are planning to harm me, why should I treat you as my mother? If you are allowed to be unkind, how can you not allow me to be unjust?
Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Cai, I gave you a chance today, but you just sat back and took advantage of it. Those who are arrogant will bring about their own destruction. From now on, the stepmother is no longer a mother. Liu Qi has cut off the last bit of mother-child love in his heart. I was still thinking about it.
All the grievances and grievances in his life have nothing to do with Liu Qi after time travel. He starts a new life in which you respect me and I respect you. Helpless, he is reborn in the Three Kingdoms, and he cannot help others; helplessly, he is in the world, and he cannot help himself.
Seeing that Mrs. Cai's kindness was so bloody that Mrs. Cai was wounded, Liu Qi felt a vague pain in his chest. Who doesn't have dignity in life? Liu Qi had no illusions about Mrs. Cai at all, thinking that if he had the opportunity, he would give Mrs. Cai, a chatty woman, some points.
Look at the color, it’s not impossible to eliminate evil if necessary. In the Three Kingdoms, there are no good men who will not fight with women, and those who stand in my way must be killed.
Regarding Mrs. Cai, Liu Qi had many harsh thoughts in his heart, but he would not show it on his face. Naturally, Liu Zhong could not figure out Liu Qi's thoughts. Seeing that Liu Qi did not want to say anything, he kept silent.
Returning to the mansion, Liu Qi acted as if nothing had happened and calmly said to Liu Zhong: "Steward, go and prepare some gifts for apprenticeship immediately. There is no need to mobilize troops tomorrow. Just you and me will go to General Huang's mansion."
"Yes." Seeing that the young master Liu Qi was not forgetting business and paying attention to etiquette, Liu Zhong promised and felt happy again. He recalled that Liu Qi almost swallowed rat poison, ordered the corpse to be burned, and was rejected in front of Mrs. Cai's residence just now. He suddenly woke up.
Come here, I can see that the nephew whose image has changed drastically in front of me is not that he has no temper, but that he adapts to circumstances and remains calm in the face of danger; he is startled at every step, but remains calm.
