A famous family like Confucius has many financial resources, and they don't simply expect Kong Rong to earn as an official.

It's just that some business matters are now all taken care of by Kong Rong's five brothers and six brothers, and Kong Rong basically doesn't bother to ask about them.

Liu Xian knew some inside information, so he was not surprised by the luxury of the Confucian Mansion.

The Confucian Mansion is really rich, otherwise, it would not have been able to support Kong Rong to raise troops later. You must know that Kong Rong's forces and the military horses in his hands are basically paid for by himself. If there was no solid economic foundation, Kong Rong would not have become a prince in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

The Confucian Mansion is rich, which can also be reflected from the body of Kong Xue in front of Liu Xian.

Kong Xue, who is now standing in front of Liu Xian, has some of the ornaments she wears, each of which is a valuable treasure.

For example, the silver jade-inlaid hairpin that was inserted into her hair to fix her princess's bun, those jades were Hetian jade, and the jewelry hanging from it was estimated to be extremely precious.

And the beaded flowers she wore in her hair, the shining earrings, the necklace, the jade bracelet, and the jade pendant around her waist. All of these reflect a kind of preciousness.

But what made Liu Xian feel strange was that this Kong Xue looked bejeweled in front of Liu Xian, but it did not make Liu Xian feel tacky, on the contrary, it brought out Kong Xue's innocent and splendid fun, showing her luxurious temperament.

Even the dress on her body was specially cut, a silk snow-white tunic dress, with some yellow and blue lace on the skirt edge, and a long ribbon dragged from her neck to the back, showing her beauty.

These are the reasons why Liu Xian was dumbfounded, he really didn't think that Kong Xue would be so beautiful when he deliberately dressed up.

Cai Yan has never seen Kong Xue dressed like this, so she is also praising Kong Xue in her heart. I think Kong Xue seems to be really beautiful this time, and she is carved in powder.

After a while, under the guidance of Kong Xue, Liu Xian, Cai Yan and Zheng Bo arrived at the banquet hall of Yefu together.

Originally, Liu Xian wanted Wang Yue to come with him, but Wang Yue knew Kong Rong, and he didn't want to meet Kong Rong.

Speaking of which, although Kong Rong is a literati, he also practices martial arts, naturally, he is definitely not a military general, but compared to ordinary soldiers, he still has the strength to fight. He may not be physically fit, but he has learned a lot of swordsmanship, and he can win purely by skill. When he was in Luoyang, because Xijian went to Wang Yue's martial arts hall to ask for swordsmanship, Wang Yue also instructed him at will. Therefore, the two know each other, but they don't have a deep relationship.

Wang Yue didn't want to meet Kong Rong, in fact, the main thing was that he thought that it was not appropriate for people to know that he had joined Liu Xian now. Once this is known and spread to the court, then he Wang Yue really doesn't know how to face the current emperor.

The emperor sent you to assassinate Liu Xian, but you were good, but you couldn't be assassinated, but became Liu Xian's bodyguard, what is this?

Therefore, Wang Yue simply chose a way to escape now, he silently guarded Liu Xian for four years, and he didn't have to show up on some formal occasions.

The reason why Liu Xian asked Wang Yue to join him was also out of respect for Wang Yue and invited him to join him, which at least expressed to Wang Yue that he treated him as his own person and a person close to him. This is also some of Liu Xian's basic behaviors in order to win over Wang Yue, a master for a long time.

As for Wang Yue's own refusal, then it has nothing to do with Liu Xian.

Kong Rong specially set up a banquet for Liu Xian to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Liu Xian, which is basically equivalent to a family banquet, and the banquet hall of the Confucian Mansion is already full of people. Except for a few people, these people are all from the Confucian Mansion.

"Nephew, please take a seat." Kong Rong saw Liu Xian, and with a gentle hand, he let Liu Xian sit in the guest seat on his left, but not the chief, but the second seat.

Sitting on the same seat with Kong Rong was a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman in her thirties, who was Kong Rong's wife.

Liu Xian did not enter the table immediately, but stepped forward first and saluted Kong Rong and the lady beside him.

Kong Xue also told Liu Xian in Liu Xian's ear that she was her mother.

"Liu Xian, Liu Mansion of Liulin Village, meet Uncle Kong and Mrs. Kong."

"Mmmm, it's really good, no wonder that girl Xue'er is talking about you all these days. You're welcome, just sit and talk. ”

Mrs. Kong Rong's surname is Zhou, Zhou's. She is really a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law now, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.

This is not bragging, although Kong Xue is very beautiful and dressed up extremely beautifully and luxuriously, Liu Xian is not bad. Liu Xian's body has also slowly developed a steady and noble temperament, every word and deed, neither arrogant nor humble. And Liu Xian's hardware conditions are indeed very good, he is close to one meter eight in height, Liu Xian's figure is slender and neat, his handsome and delicate face, his kind and enthusiastic eyes, and the son's clothes on his body are made by Xiaojing and Zhang Ning, which are comfortable and fit.

Sister loves to be pretty, this sister can also refer to those mature women. No matter what, at first glance, my son-in-law must be handsome and pretty.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou saw Liu Xian, he liked it from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Originally, the Zhou family felt that Kong Rong was married to the righteous son recognized by Kong Xue and the nobles of the Plains Palace, which was too rash. After all, a righteous son, a false son, and the status of the Plains Mansion in the Han Dynasty is embarrassing, and the marriage of a fake son of the Confucian family and the Plains Mansion does not seem to be of much benefit to the Kong family. But now when she saw Liu Xian, the little whispers in her heart disappeared all of a sudden.

To deal with the mother-in-law, you don't have to do anything, just be handsome, if not, then be more handsome.

Liu Xian thanked him in a chic manner, then turned around and asked Cai Yan to stand up and said: "This is Miss Cai Yan, the daughter of Lord Cai Yong, these escorts will come together to visit Sister Kong Xue, she and I will have a seat, no additional arrangements are needed." ”

For Cai Yan's banquet, there are naturally other arrangements, and after the introduction, I will go to the banquet room of the female dependents. Liu Xian said this, in fact, it was a little abrupt, after all, it was equivalent to telling the people of the Kong family that the relationship between Cai Yan and Liu Xian was extraordinary. You must know that Liu Xian and Kong Xue have a marriage contract, but they secretly expressed their relationship with Cai Yan in front of so many people in the Kong family, which may make the people of the Kong family angry.

But Liu Xian didn't want Cai Yan to feel left out, so he simply offered to sit with her.

"In addition, this is Zheng Feng Zheng Bo, the chief housekeeper of my Liu Mansion, who used to follow my father, and later protected my mother, who watched me grow up since I was a child, is equivalent to my Liu Xian's elders." Liu Xian didn't wait for the reaction of the people in the Confucian Mansion, and immediately introduced Zheng Feng again.

In this world, Liu Xian and Zheng Feng are really like relatives, so on these occasions, Liu Xian will also express his respect for Uncle Zheng, and also hope that he can gain the respect of the Kong family.

If Cai Yan is the daughter of an ordinary family, there may be many people in the Kong family who will have opinions. But Cai Yan is Cai Yong's daughter, so the people of the Kong family were only stunned for a moment, but no one said anything.

Kong Rong glanced at Liu Xian deeply at this time, and then said to Cai Yan: "Cai's niece is not an outsider, feel free." Mr. Zheng, please take a seat too. ”

After Kong Rong finished speaking to Cai Yan, he looked at Zheng Feng again, stood up and hugged his fists, and then invited Zheng Feng to sit at the bottom of Liu Xian.

Kong Rong is really a very smart and gentle person. He stood up and invited Zheng Feng to sit at the table, which was also to express his respect for Zheng Feng and his recognition of Liu Xian's son-in-law. If he didn't approve of Liu Xian's son-in-law, then he wouldn't be able to respect Zheng Feng, and he wouldn't have such a move.

"Zheng Feng has seen Master Kong and Mrs. Kong. Thank you! Confucius's family is polite, the young master and her mother have always wanted to see the young master get married, but unfortunately she couldn't survive the epidemic, and she kept telling the old slave before leaving, and the old slave must find a good family for the young master. Now that Mrs. Pingyuan is in charge, she is engaged to Miss Kong. As long as they get married, our Liu Mansion and the Kong family in Liulin Village are in-laws, everyone is a family, and they are all at will. Zheng Feng also stepped forward to salute, and then looked at Liu Xian beside him and Kong Xue who was following behind, and said with feeling.

"Haha, Brother Wen Ju, is he Liu Xian? Your fast son-in-law? Ok, good, good! Not bad, he and your beloved daughter Xue'er are really golden boys and girls, a match made in heaven. Come on, Liu Xian, little friend, come to the table. Where did all this red tape come from? They all sat down first, and the old man was impatient to wait for this glass of wine. “

An elder who was older than Kong Rong was sitting at the head of the guest seat, and at this time he was holding his long beard and laughed loudly.

"Okay, all in the table, open the table!" Kong Rong smiled dumbly, and after sitting down, he scolded the man with a smile: "You old murderer, this is a family banquet for our Kong family to wash the dust for the future son-in-law, you have to come to join in this fun." Where is the Kong family less of your wine? Come on, I'll give you a drink. “

"People also want to ...... with Brother Liu Xian"

Liu Xian entered the table, and Kong Xue behind him, but he couldn't say anything about following Liu Xian, so that Cai Yan on the left and Kong Xue on the right, two women, one on the left and one on the right, sat behind a short banquet.

This, Kong Rong and his wife didn't say anything, they acquiesced.

After all, many of the other parties at this banquet are shared by men and women, and although Liu Xian is accompanied by two women, it is not abrupt.

"Uncle Kong, aunt, and uncles, this time it was me Liu Xian who bothered me, so this first glass of wine, or a cup of wine for all of you, this elder, together, please!"

Liu Xian didn't wait to sit in his chief drinker, so he first raised his glass to everyone and saluted everyone, and then touched the wine bottle in the hand of the elder who was raising his glass nearby, and smiled at him: "It's done!" “

"Okay, you kid is interesting,!"

The long-bearded elder was stunned for a moment, realized on the spot, and also narrowed his eyes, and raised his glass and drank it all.

The Kong family went home, and naturally accompanied them to raise a glass together.

"He is the old man of Taobai Taoqiuhong of Pingyuan County, who has been friends with me since he was a child. Don't worry about him. Kong Rong scolded with a smile, and then turned to introduce the Kong family in the right-hand seats.

Kong Rong's fifth brother Kong Jie and sixth brother Kong Le are all together, all with their wives, and there are also children of the Kong family, who are Kong Rong's nephews, and there are many nephews and grandchildren.

Liu Xian naturally has to see them one by one, these are his own family members, not only have they seen, but they also have to remember their names and appearances.

But just remember, Liu Xian doesn't pay special attention. After all, during the period of the Kong family, except for Kong Rong, who was relatively active, the rest were unknown, and I don't know if it was because of their talents. Anyway, in Liu Xian's impression, there doesn't seem to be anyone more famous.

On the other hand, Kong Rong has his own plans, even if Liu Xian finds out that there are talents among them, I am afraid it is unlikely that he will let himself poach them.

But Liu Xian remembered who this Tao Qiuhong was.

Tao Qiuhong, a native of Qingzhou Pingyuan County. This plain county is actually the plain where Liu Bei served as the plain county commander here in history. The plain seems to be in the land of Hebei, but in fact it is under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou.

This Tao Qiuhong, he also has a story about him, but this story should not have happened yet.

The story is about 187 years, that is, two years later, the imperial court appointed Wang Fen as the assassin of Jizhou.

But this Wang Fen was ready to assassinate Emperor Ling, and also supported the then Hefei Emperor as the emperor. This Wang Fen united many people, including Tao Qiuhong and Hua Xin.

Hua Xin is also a native of Pingyuan County. and Tao Qiuhong are also friends.

Tao Qiuhong originally planned to start an incident with Wang Fen, but Hua Xin dissuaded Tao Qiuhong, and Wang Fen committed suicide in defeat. Later, Tao Qiu Hong admired Hua Xin's insight.
