"The eldest prince has a very good plan." Cai Mao was stunned at first, but then said: "It's just your strategy, have you ever told the lord?" ”

Liu Qi shook his head, "Not yet, but I will strongly recommend Uncle Shi to take on this important task from my father, and after solving Su Zhe, I also plan to propose to my father that Uncle Shi should serve as the Taishou of Nanjun." ”

Hearing the words "Nanjun Taishou", Cai Mao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Among the counties of Jingzhou, Nanyang County, Jiangxia County and Nanjun County are the most important, which are the essence of Jingzhou.

Among the three counties, Nanjun includes Xiangyang, the state of governance, and Jiangling City, which is currently the richest in Jingzhou and has gathered a large amount of grain and grass.

The power and influence of Nanjun Taishou are far above Nanyang Taishou, how could Cai Mao not want to do it.

Cai Mao suppressed the joy in her heart, tried her best to maintain a calm mood, but asked, "Is this really what the eldest prince is going to do?" ”

Liu Qi said: "Nanjun is the core of my Jingzhou, you have to be famous, talented, and worthy of my father's trust to take on the important task of guarding the county, looking at the whole Jingxiang, my nephew really can't think of anyone else who can do it except Uncle Cai." ”

After a compliment, Cai Mao's heart was extremely comfortable, and he smiled happily: "Since the eldest prince trusts me so much, then I will be duty-bound to take on this important responsibility for the lord at that time." ”

After this conversation, the atmosphere between the two became harmonious.

After a glass of wine, Liu Qi suddenly blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cai, in fact, the foolish nephew came to visit this time, in addition to official business, there is also a private matter that I want to ask Uncle Shi to accept. ”

"The eldest prince said to hear it." Cai Mao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and she seemed to have guessed a few points.

Liu Qi cleared his throat and arched his hand: "The foolish nephew has admired Shu'er's sister for a long time, and wants to ask to marry Shu'er's sister as his wife, and he also asks Uncle Shi's permission. ”

A subtle sneer crossed the corner of Cai Mao's mouth.

He was just thinking about it, Liu Qi's attitude towards his Cai family, suddenly so enthusiastic, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake, and he wanted to recommend him to be the Taishou of Nanjun, and he deliberately kept a distance from before, which was a 180-degree change.

It turned out that he had lost Su Zhe's chess piece, and when he learned that the Cai family was going to recruit Liu Cong as his son-in-law, he was afraid that his position as the heir would be shaken.

"I remember that the eldest prince rejected my Cai family's kindness several times before, why did he suddenly refuse today?" Cai Mao didn't agree immediately, and there was a bit of irony in her rhetorical question.

Liu Qi could only endure the embarrassment and laughed at himself: "The foolish nephew has always wanted to focus on assisting his father in governing Jingzhou, so he didn't want to get married in a hurry, but now after experiencing these lessons, the nephew has also figured it out, if he can marry Shu'er's sister, a virtuous helper, and become a family first, the nephew can mature and better assist his father." ”

Liu Qi made up a reluctant reason for himself, after all, he still had to take care of his face, and he couldn't completely bow his head to Cai Mao and admit his mistakes.

Cai Mao's eyes rolled a few times, and after weighing the pros and cons, he sighed: "It would be nice if the eldest prince could have thought like this earlier, but it's a pity that you have rejected my Cai family's good intentions several times, which really hurts Shu'er's heart, and I'm afraid she may not be willing to agree to you." ”

Liu Qi was suddenly anxious, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"But." Cai Mao changed his words, but said: "My fourth brother died early, Shu'er was brought up by me since I was a child, and I am equivalent to his father. ”

Liu Qi's face immediately turned from worry to joy, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your success, I will definitely be good to Sister Shu'er, there are many more today, I need to ask Uncle Shi for advice, and I also ask Uncle Shi to give advice." ”

What he meant was naturally a euphemism that he would rely more on the Cai family in the future.

Cai Mao understood it, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is very intelligent, he must be able to understand it at one point, and he dare not give advice, I can only say that I have to share some of my experience with the eldest prince." ”

"Uncle Shi's experience will definitely benefit the foolish nephew a lot......"

At that moment, Liu Qi praised Cai Mao, and the two talked very happily, and the previous estrangement seemed to be swept away, and they stood on the same position again.

After chatting for a long time, Liu Qi said goodbye and left, Cai Mao wanted to get up and send him off, but Liu Qi insisted on not using it, Cai Mao stayed and watched Liu Qi go away.

"You finally realize the fear of losing the support of my Cai family, you know your way back, and your children can be taught, hehe~~" Looking at Liu Qi in the distance, the corners of Cai Mao's mouth raised a smug smile.

Along the other side of the corridor, Liu Qi let out a long breath, relieved, and the humble expression on his face disappeared in an instant, covering a layer of clouds.

"Today I have no choice but to bow my head to you, he will wait for me to take charge of Jingzhou, and sooner or later I will clean up your clans into obedience, hum~~"

Liu Qi snorted coldly in his heart, striding forward, not wanting to linger in this place that humiliated him for a moment.

"Liu Qi, you stop!" Suddenly, a woman's shout sounded behind him.

His body was shocked, and when he turned around, he saw that Cai Shu had chased behind him at some point.

"It turned out to be Shu'er's sister, I haven't seen her for a long time, and my sister is becoming more and more beautiful." Liu Qi changed his rather indifferent attitude from the previous time, and complimented him with a smile.

"Liu Qi, you are so shameless!" Cai Shu stepped forward with a look of disdain.

The dignified eldest son, being scolded shamelessly in person, Liu Qi frowned, and a trace of annoyance suddenly flashed in his eyes.

But he couldn't help but have a seizure, and asked in surprise: "Sister Shu'er, so decent, why did you say this?" ”

Cai Shu glared at him with contempt and reprimanded: "Didn't you shout before that Huang Yueying would not marry, and you rejected the second uncle's proposal to you for me several times, which embarrassed me, but now why do you come to beg my second uncle and want to marry me!" ”

Liu Qi's face was red and white when she was questioned, but he could only smile and say: "Sister Shu'er, don't be angry, I was just fascinated by that Huang Yueying before, but now I have suddenly woken up and know your intentions for me, Sister Shu'er, and I hope that Sister Shu'er will be cold to me." ”

"Now beg me to be cool, it's too late!" Cai Shu categorically refused, raised her nose, and said proudly: "You didn't look down on me Cai Shu at the beginning, but now you want to marry me, it's too late, I don't want to marry you." ”

Liu Qi was taken aback, he thought that Cai Shu was so eager to marry him before, but now that he has "changed his mind", even if Cai Shu is not flattered, he should secretly rejoice, even if he plays with the temper of the young lady, he persuades him in such a low voice, she should go down the ladder to the wall if she has face.

Who would have expected her to have such an attitude.

"Sister Shu'er, don't be angry, it's not enough for my brother to apologize to you, don't worry, after I marry you, I will definitely love you a hundred times and be good to you." Liu Qi thought that she still wanted to save face, so she had to continue to coax.

Cai Shu snorted disdainfully: "Who is rare about your favor, what you just said is not clear enough, I don't like you anymore, I like someone else." ”

"Someone else? Who is it? Liu Qi suddenly smiled on his face, and his expression became gloomy.

Cai Mei didn't blame him for being unhappy, and said calmly: "It's not a big deal to tell you, the person I like is Su Zhe, the number one talent in Jingzhou." ”

Su Zhe!

It's this guy again!

Liu Qi was instantly furious, and the anger accumulated in his heart suddenly rushed to the top of his head.

He strode forward, clamped Cai Shu's neck with the palm of his hand, pressed her rudely against the wall, and roared angrily: "Where is the surname Su better than me, why do you all like him!" Why! ”
