Chapter 16 Marriage
Liu Qi knew that Kuai Yue was one of the real powerful figures in the entire Jingzhou, and he could even compete with Cai Mao, and if he could come to the door today, there must be something, so he had to smile apologetically at Xu Shu and Pang Tong, and then dressed up and went out to greet him in person.
Liu Qi hadn't walked out of the room yet, but he saw that Kuai Yue had already come in, and smiled at himself: "Eldest son, are you okay with your rest these days?" ”
Liu Qi hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "I have seen the master of Kuai, and I have had a good rest with my father's grace in the past few days, and it is indeed refreshing physically and mentally." ”
Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Qi, and said sternly: "The son is refreshing, but my Jingzhou has reached a critical moment, Zhang Xian rebelled, and the four counties of Jingnan are no longer owned by my Jingzhou, and General Zhennan is already anxious like an ant on the stove, but you are in the mood to drink here, it is really not good." ”
Speaking of this, Kuai Yue's face couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment, and he turned around, ready to brush his sleeves away.
In fact, with Kuai Yue's wisdom, he had long been disappointed in Liu Biao's strategy, he had been racking his brains, thinking about countermeasures, and later saw Cao Cao gradually rising in the Central Plains, and was ordered by the Son of Heaven not to surrender, so he persuaded Liu Biao to surrender to him.
However, he didn't have time to put forward it, but he heard the news that Liu Qi led the army to defeat Cao Cao in Nanyang, and inquired about the details in detail, only then did he know that Liu Qi was stoic and generous, corporal Lixian, quite wise, but he knew how to buy the heart of the army, and he was really the savior of Jingzhou, so he felt that Jingzhou had a new hope, so when he heard that his niece Kuai Ruyu had a good impression of Liu Qi, he decisively decided to match the two, and even did not hesitate to fall out with the Cai family, but also did his best to support Liu Qi as the heir.
But today, seeing Liu Qi drinking indoors, completely ignoring the safety of Jingnan, he couldn't help but be deeply disappointed, so he decided to give up the plan to unite with Liu Qi.
At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly walked a few steps quickly, grabbed Kuai Yue, and said respectfully: "Kuai Master has really wronged the little nephew, and the little nephew also got the news of the rebellion in the four counties of Jingnan not long ago, and is preparing to apply to his father tomorrow to raise troops to quell the rebellion?" The reason why the little nephew drank was to feast on two celebrities, and they proposed that they were willing to assist the little nephew in pacifying Jingnan. ”
Kuai Yue's face softened slightly, and then he slowly asked, "Which two celebrities are they?" ”
"It's Yingchuan Xu Shu Yuanzhi, Xiangyang Pang Tongshi Yuan." Liu Qi bent down and said respectfully.
"What?" Kuai Yue couldn't help but be shocked, Xiangyang Pang Tong was just a young man, and it was nothing, his reputation mainly depended on the fame of his uncle Pang Degong, but Xu Shu was a real talent, this person knew a lot about the art of war, and he had recommended him to Liu Biao, the state pastor, but Liu Biao had been recruited many times, but he had been politely rejected, but he didn't expect this Xu Shu to defect to Liu Qi's account.
Thinking of this, Kuai Yue finally forgave Liu Qi completely, and said hurriedly: "Since Xu Yuanzhi is here, I should see it." Then he lifted his leg and went into the room.
Kuai Yue's name is also well-known in Jingzhou, not only because of his identity and wisdom, but also because of his series of efforts for the stability of Jingzhou, and even when Jiangdong Sun Jian was shot, it was all from Kuai Yue's calculations.
So as soon as Kuai Yue came in, Xu Shu and Pang Tong immediately stood up and saluted respectfully. Liu Qi lost no time in making an introduction to everyone.
Kuai Yue only nodded to Pang Tong, greeted Pang Degong, and then smiled at Xu Shu: "I have heard the name of Xu Yuanzhi for a long time, and when I see it today, how can I be lucky?" ”
Xu Shu didn't dare to say anything, and humbled each other before sitting down.
Liu Qi said a few words of greeting to Kuai Yue, and then asked, "I don't know if Kuai Master is coming, what are you doing?" ”
But seeing Kuai Yue sighed, he said: "The old man is here, it is for the rebellion of the four counties of Jingnan, today's discussion in the general's mansion, the state pastor mentioned the rebellion in the four counties of Jingnan, and wants to order people to go to quell the rebellion, Cai Junshi proposed to ask the second prince to lead the two generals Wenpin and Wang Wei to go to quell the rebellion, but the old man protected the son as the Taishou of Changsha and went to quell the rebellion, after all, the prince defeated Cao Cao before, and he was quite prestigious, and he will be able to deter Xiaoxiao and quickly quell the rebellion. The state pastor finally agreed, there is still a son to lead the army, and today I saw that the two gentlemen wanted to help the son, and my heart was more stable. ”
Liu Qi listened to the other party's words, and his heart was naturally overjoyed, because he was thinking about contacting a big clan according to Jia Xu's original reminder, but there was a heavyweight like Kuai Yue to show favor to him, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.
"Once I am supported by Kuai Yue and the Kuai family, when the time comes, I will have the four counties of Jingnan outside, and Kuai Yue will take care of me inside, I'm afraid that even Cai Mao will be helpless against me, right? This is really sleepy, someone will send a pillow, and it seems that I, Liu Qi, are really going to reverse history. ”
Liu Qi was excited, and hurriedly thanked him: "How can the little nephew be able to do it?" Dare to be so loved by your uncle? In the future, the little nephew will be rewarded. ”
Kuai Yue smiled faintly: "You don't have to be like this, you and I are all here to maintain the peace of my Jingzhou." There is another thing, the old man heard that the son and my niece Ruyu knew each other, but I don't know that girl can enter the eyes of the son? ”
"Ruyu? It turns out that her name is Ruyu, no wonder when she introduced herself that day, she said that her name was Cao Peng Dao, the word Ruyu, it turned out that Cao Peng Dao was a Chinese word, and Ruyu was her name. ”
Liu Qi's mind immediately appeared with the appearance of a woman, the woman's eyes were bright, her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes were like paint, her head was in a flower bun, and she was wearing a light green skirt.
Until the other party shyly handed the cleaned robe to his hand, Liu Qi still couldn't believe that the handsome scholar who vomited himself in the restaurant was actually a peerless beauty.
The moment he saw this woman, Liu Qi was deeply impressed by such a look, and he clearly remembered that he was stunned for nearly five minutes at that time.
More importantly, I was very satisfied with the benevolence that the woman showed in the restaurant, and I was deeply impressed by the noble and elegant temperament she exuded.
In a word, Liu Qi already had a strong affection for this woman in his heart.
"Maybe this is what later generations call love at first sight." Looking at the woman in front of him in a daze, Liu Qi thought silently.
And it wasn't until later, after carefully deducing the cause and effect of the incident, that Liu Qi finally determined that the peerless beauty turned out to be the eldest lady of the Kuai family!
But until that time, Liu Qi didn't have any thoughts at all, because after all, the other party had only met once, and now although the other party washed the clothes and handed them over to him personally, in Liu Qi's opinion, he was just apologizing for what he had done on the first day.
Now Kuai Yue suddenly mentioned Kuai Ruyu, which made Liu Qi's heart beat wildly: "Could it be that Kuai Master really wants to marry the eldest lady to me?" If so, that's great, because that's what really means being both a country and a beauty. ”
Sure enough, after subconsciously nodding, Kuai Yue said with a smile: "Since the two of you are in love, then the old man will make the decision and marry Ruyu Xu to you?" ”
Liu Qi's reaction was not slow, and he immediately knelt down happily in front of Kuai Yue, and said excitedly: "If my uncle is willing to do it, it will naturally be the dream of the little nephew." ”
Kuai Yue laughed when he heard this: "Since you are willing, then the old man will rest assured, so let's do it, the old man will marry Ruyu to you in front of Mr. Yuanzhi and Pang Tong Xiaoyou today, you have learned the name of my niece, the right is a gift of Nacai, I will write Ruyu's birthday to you, as a gift of Najib, Mr. Yuanzhi should know how to combine the eight characters, right?" If there is no problem, then proceed directly to the ceremony, so that your marriage will be decided, and after the four counties of Jingnan are settled, I will marry you with the governor of the state. ”
When Liu Qi heard this, he immediately ordered Liu An to take a pen and paper.
But he heard Kuai Yue laugh and said: "The old man knows that your house is poor and there is no brocade silk, so he brought it in advance." Is marriage a child's play? How can you write your birthday on paper? ”
After Kuai Yue finished speaking, he took out two brocade silks from his arms, wrote Kuai Ruyu's birthday on one of the brocade silks, and handed the other one to Liu Qi.
Although Liu Qi is a traverser, he still maintains some memories of the original Liu Qi, but he remembers the eight characters of his birthday, and he also wrote it on the brocade silk in a regular manner.
Xu Shu really knew how to combine the eight characters, and after some scrutiny, he smiled and said that the two sides were in harmony, and Kuai Ruyu and Wangfu's life.
Kuai Yue was naturally overjoyed, and immediately said to Liu Qi: "I will take away all your eight characters, and report this matter to the state pastor, so that he can pay the gift and make this marriage contract." Hehe, the old man will leave first, you don't have to send it. Let's have fun, but remember, I will report to the office early tomorrow to discuss the matter of conquering the south. ”
After finishing speaking, he put away the two brocade silks and left in a hurry, leaving only the stunned Liu Qi and others.
"Such an engagement gift is too fast, isn't it? Under normal circumstances, there would be ten days and a half months, but today the master of the bookkeeper actually made a decision, which is really incredible. Looking at the scene in front of him, Pang Tong couldn't help but say in surprise.
Xu Shu also looked weird, but just for a moment, he said with a smile: "This is also an expedient measure, because once this matter drags on, it may lead to the interference of external forces, and then things will not be easy to do. ”
"Yes, in the future, Gongzi will have the full support of the Kuai family in Xiangyang, even if the Cai family is making trouble behind his back, we are not afraid, we just need to expand with all our might, hehe, today's Gongzi has both the political alliance and the good woman, it is really a good thing for double happiness, this time we must drink him and get drunk, come and come, do this bowl." Pang Tong raised the wine bowl beside him, raised his head, and drank it all.
Xu Shu was also happy, picked up the wine bowl and drank a trickle.
