In order to pull off a beauty trick, Liu Qi whispered to his maid, Amei, and agreed to sleep together late at night. Amei felt dizzy, and happiness came too suddenly.
Amei was overjoyed to be favored by the eldest son, but she was still a little scared. She secretly looked into the butler's side room, and sure enough, the butler Liu Zhong was watching from a distance, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Amei was startled. Liu Zhong's murderous eyes were all too familiar. Less than ten days after Amei entered the house two months ago, Amei took the initiative to get close to Liu Qi, who looked like withered grass.
The lustful Liu Qi ignored the daylight and couldn't wait to push Amei into the room. The butler Liu Zhong suddenly appeared and drew his sword to kill Amei. Liu Biao, who was passing by the son's house on business, stopped by to visit his eldest son Liu Qi, so the tragedy was avoided.
occur.
The news that Liu Zhong wanted to kill Amei was reported to Cai Mao. Cai Mao was furious but could not punish Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred. Unfortunately, there was a reason for the incident. Liu Zhong was not at fault, and Liu Zhong was the elder brother of Liu Biao's first wife from the Chen family.
, and now he follows the governor Liu Biao, whose surname is Liu, and Cai Mao throws himself at the rat weapon and does not dare to blatantly vent his anger on Liu Zhong.
Liu Zhong was eyeing four beautiful maids in the young master's house, which greatly undermined Cai Hao's beauty scheme. Apart from using the four maids to inform Liu Qi, Cai Hao didn't really expect Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum to do much for Liu Qi.
The four maids did not know Cai Mao's true thoughts. In order to prevent their mother from dying of typhoid fever, the maids still took the risk of being killed by Liu Zhong and were always looking for opportunities to be favored by Liu Qi.
Just now, the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums in the servant's maid's room were giggling because they saw Liu Qi waking up from a drowsy state and practicing Sanda, and he clearly saw Liu Qi's expressions of surprise and admiration for the beauty of the four girls after waking up.
It also aroused the maids' desire to compete for favors.
The maids were afraid that too many people would attract the attention of housekeeper Liu Zhong, so they discussed the method of arresting eunuchs to decide who would come first. As a result, Amei was caught, and the sisters couldn't help but laugh. Amei and Liu Qi were destined to survive a catastrophe.
Blessed people.
None of them had ever slept with Liu Qi. The four maids' spontaneous laughter was certainly not a mockery of Liu Qi's inability to do anything with him, but Liu Qi's overthinking.
The life experiences of the four beautiful maids, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, are really pitiful. The maids who looked like gods endured humiliation and heavy burdens to save their mother. They knew that they were being used by Cai Mao but still stayed in the house of Mr. Liu Qi and risked their lives. Is it considered that they were willing to risk their lives?
What about righteous deeds? Are women from the Three Kingdoms worthy of the respect of the world?
Liu Qi didn't know the life experience of the four maids, nor did the loyal protector Liu Zhong. Amei, who was frightened when she saw the sharp knife-like eyes of the housekeeper Liu Zhong, felt a panic in her heart, but thought of her mother still lying in bed due to illness.
Hanging half-dead on the bed, anxiously waiting for Amei to receive a heavy reward to buy medicine for treatment, Amei secretly gritted her teeth, her heart skipped a beat, and she would risk her life for the sake of her mother.
"Mother, as long as your disease can be cured, even if you die under Liu Zhong's knife, your daughter will die with no regrets." Amei murmured in her heart. She was determined to die, but she calmed down and turned a blind eye to the housekeeper Liu Zhong.
Liu Qi reminded Liu Qi with an extremely ambiguous and resentful look, with a shy expression on his face, and said in a sweet voice: "Young master, it's time for breakfast, I will leave for now."
"Go." Liu Qi watched Amei send the money back to the kitchen. After Amei reminded her, she really felt a little hungry.
After Amei stepped back, the housekeeper Liu Zhong walked over steadily, holding his sword in his hand. Although Liu Zhong was old and carried a little weight on his back, his body was still strong and his whole person was in high spirits. However, his long coarse cloth showed that he was different from the richly dressed young man.
Due to the different status of Liu Qi's butler, others who don't know the inside story would think Liu Zhong is Liu Qi's bodyguard or sub-father at first glance, because Liu Zhong is the only servant in Liu Qi's house who can carry a sword.
"Well done, young master." Liu Zhong said to Liu Qi, his expression not very good.
"Okay." Liu Qi didn't know how to reply, but seeing something wrong with Liu Zhong's expression, he asked, "Is the housekeeper worried?"
Liu Zhong turned around and looked at the lower room where the maid lived, and whispered: "Master, can you take a step to speak?"
"Please." Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the bedroom with a small living room and entered the house with Liu Zhong.
Liu Qi knelt down at the low plan table in the living room with a solemn expression, waiting for the butler's reply.
Kneeling, this sitting posture, Liu Qi has often seen from the 84-episode TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and many Three Kingdoms film and television dramas. He is used to later generations of boss swivel chairs or elastic bamboo and rattan chairs. It is really very strange to kneel down to see guests like this.
It tests the ability of a person's kneecaps to withstand wear and pressure. If we had gathered in ancient times like the later generations, our knees would probably be broken.
When it comes to kneeling down, Liu Qi is really not used to it, but he still has to kneel down, which was a kind of etiquette at that time. Of course, if Liu Zhong sits down on his knees, Liu Qi can also stand and speak, and he is usually respectful.
A situation where humiliation is obvious.
Facing Liu Zhong, even though it was tiring to sit on his knees, Liu Qi would never stand and speak. Although Liu Zhong was a servant of the housekeeper, Liu Zhong was his biological mother's cousin and should be respected.
Liu Qi suddenly felt that the people of the Three Kingdoms were stupid. Why did they kneel when they had a stool to sit on? Isn't it convenient and comfortable to sit on a stool?
From this, it is thought that Japan is still kneeling and inheriting the customs of the Three Kingdoms from ancient China. It is obviously extremely stupid. Later generations of China have long been discouraged from kneeling.
But, but, what Liu Qi couldn't understand was how the seemingly ignorant and uncivilized little Japan, which was called Japanese pirates in the Three Kingdoms and didn't even know how to improve while sitting on its knees, could be so powerful, so tough, and so small in later generations.
How dare you invade our vast China in such a small place? It’s worth pondering...
Could it be that the humiliating kneeling is just for the sake of being superior in the future, so Japan does not give up the culture of kneeling? If this is the case, Liu Qi would rather kneel in the Three Kingdoms for the rest of his life in exchange for the supreme superiority and proclaim the emperor, and use all the troops of the country to destroy Japan in one fell swoop.
Wouldn't it be a good thing to prevent the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre from being staged in future generations, and to avoid the serious disasters brought by the two world wars to the people of the world in future generations?
Of course, Liu Qi also knew that during the Three Kingdoms period, there were small stools to sit on, and only those with noble status were qualified to sit on them. Or there could be stools to sit on when military affairs were urgent. For example, the emperor sat when he went to court; for example, when discussing matters in the military tent
At that time, the commander-in-chief and the ministers and generals could sit on stools. After Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind in the battle of Chibi, the central general of Zhou Yu's army sat on the stools.
Hey, Liu Qi then thought about it. It turns out that only those with status can sit on the stool. However, Japan has been kneeling for thousands of years. It must be to endure and survive. It is frightened by the power of the sleeping lion and does not dare to stand in front of our great China.
I trust myself.
In this way, kneeling and sitting is a kind of culture, and Japan has inherited this culture from ancient my country. As for the pros and cons of kneeling and sitting culture, it is a matter of opinion and wisdom.
Back to reality, Liu Qi was just the eldest son of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. There was no chair in the palace, which must be due to his insufficient qualifications. However, thinking that kneeling can promote people's progress, Liu Qi, who was in the Three Kingdoms, did not dislike kneeling very much. He thought to himself
If you can really proclaim yourself emperor by kneeling down for thirty to fifty years, then it will be possible to conquer Japan in one fell swoop on a whim.
Liu Qi was thinking wildly, but he saw the housekeeper Liu Zhong looking panicked. He looked around outside the door, then quietly closed the door. Suddenly he raised his sword in his hand, knelt down on his knees, burst into tears, and cried: "Please kill me, sir."
Old slave."
Liu Qi was startled and couldn't figure out what was wrong with Liu Zhong. He stood up in a hurry, took the sword and put it on the desk. He stepped forward to help him: "Housekeeper, please get up. Why did you say this?"
Liu Zhong refused to get up and sobbed: "Young master, with a body worth thousands of dollars, how could you collude with a servant and commit adultery? Could it be that you have forgotten that the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums were given by General Cai?"
"I haven't forgotten." Liu Qi replied lightly, knelt down and sat down in his original position. Seeing that Liu Zhong was stubborn and would rather kneel down, and Liu Zhong said the word hookup into adultery without restraint, he was already unhappy in his heart, so he let it go.
Liu Zhong knelt down.
"Have you forgotten that two months ago, Amei took the initiative to invite favors to murder the young master?" Liu Zhong burst into tears, but looked directly at Liu Qi and spoke frankly.
"Oh..." Forgetting the loyal Liu Zhong, Liu Qi felt pity. If he were to talk to Liu Zhong at this time, he would definitely know everything about what the beautiful maid was questioning.
"Although I haven't forgotten it, why did Amei's show of kindness to a maid turn into a murder? Please tell the butler frankly." Liu Qi pretended not to know.
"Young Master is confused." Liu Zhong, who knelt in front of Liu Qi, adjusted his emotions and said emotionally: "Young Master's mother is the cousin of the old slave. Before she died, she entrusted the young master to the old slave, so that I can educate myself well. Unfortunately, the young master has not been here a few days ago.
Listening to the old slave's advice, insisting on going his own way, falling in love with a prostitute, taking Wu Shi Powder, which makes him weak and sick, that's all, but he won't lose his life."
When Liu Zhong said this, his voice was sad. Seeing that Liu Qi was unusually quiet, Liu Zhong cried on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
Liu Qi listened so carefully to Liu Zhong's cry, which had never happened before. When he got up in the morning, Liu Qi took the initiative to write to Corporal Liu Zhong Lixian, which made Liu Zhong sigh for a long time. In addition, Liu Zhong saw Liu Qi practicing Sanda in the morning with his own eyes.
Liu Zhong was surprised by his agility at that time, and a strong expectation arose in his heart. The playboy Liu Qi survived the catastrophe, and when he woke up, he was a completely changed person. He was strong, knowledgeable about etiquette and general knowledge. He was really his cousin Chen
The spirit of the family in heaven, his nephew, Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, was saved.
The seemingly intimate and ambiguous behavior of Liu Qi and the maid Amei made Liu Zhong worried. The four undercover maids sent by Cai Mao, the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, were fairies and a scourge in Liu Zhong's eyes, and he would never allow them to get involved with Liu Qi to avoid being harmed.
Cai Mao plotted.
And Liu Zhong raised his sword and knelt down to remonstrate with death. He was actually trying to give Liu Qi a strong dose of medicine after he woke up, stimulating him to wake up suddenly. This was to tell Liu Qi that a man should not be in love with his children, and that a true man should build a reputation in the world.
"Uncle, please get up, sit down and talk." Liu Qi really couldn't bear to have a lot of old men kneeling in front of him, not to mention that the old man had already identified himself as Liu Qi's cousin, so how could Liu Qi sit still.
"Thank you, Master." Liu Zhong stopped being coquettish and wiped away his tears with his wide sleeves. In fact, he was crying with joy. He knelt down in front of the low desk opposite Liu Qi and said eloquently: "Young Master is a prostitute and likes to eat five meals a day."
Shi, that was done deliberately by the young master to hide his depravity and lack of ambition from the vicious Cai wife, so the old slave did not stop him. Unexpectedly, the young master was addicted to food, indulged in women, unwilling to control himself, and became weak and uncontrollable. General Cai actually
Sending a beautiful maid is actually an insidious beauty trap."
"Beauty trap? Why did my uncle say this?" Liu Qi knew it well, and Liu Zhong's words confirmed Liu Qi's guess that Cai Mao was secretly using a honey trap. In order to show respect for his uncle, he deliberately asked.
But Liu Zhong's words also made Liu Qi feel a lot of emotion. It turned out that the lustful Liu Qi recorded in the history books of the Three Kingdoms was forced by the situation and was not a real lustful person. The truth came out.
