The next day, the group came to Suixian, only to see that it was orderly, the traffic was busy, the people were happy, and the depressed Xinye was simply two worlds.

After entering the city, Liu Qi asked, "Hansheng is a local, is there a suitable place in this city to accommodate his mother and son?" ”

Deng Ai's mother and son are poor and determined, if you want Deng Ai to study here with peace of mind, you must first stabilize your life, you can't just live in the pavilion, and you must have a source of income.

Huang Zhong glanced at the two behind him, and said in a low voice: "It's not a secret, I still have a house here, and now there are only two old servants left to take care of it. ”

"That's the best, lead the way!" Liu Qi was overjoyed, and he didn't care about going to the mansion, so he followed Huang Zhong to his old mansion first.

A tall mansion in the east of the city, a few big trees in the courtyard show the vicissitudes of this place, and the mottled gate is still tall and majestic.

Although Huang Zhong lost his son in middle age and traveled around to lead troops, after all, he and Huang Zu, Huang Chengyan and others are all Huang Xiang, and he still has some family background.

When I came to the house, I saw that the front yard was barren, the garden was full of weeds, the middle courtyard was very clean, and the two old men were drying some things under the trees.

Seeing Huang Zhong return suddenly, the second elder was very excited, and he was busy serving tea and pouring water.

Huang Zhong swept through the familiar and unfamiliar house, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, he sighed and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"It's a great place!" Liu Qi nodded and said to Mother Deng: "This is General Huang's mansion, he has been sending troops all year round, so your mother and son will live here!" ”

"How does this work?" Mother Deng hurriedly said: "The two of us are lonely and penniless, as long as we can let Ah Niu go to the school, the concubine is willing to go to the pulp, wash, sew and weave." ”

Huang Zhongyan said: "This house is still deserted, you live here and have some vitality, help me take care of the house, and there are also some field shops, help me recover the rent every year, take care of the two old people, it's enough!" ”

Liu Qi smiled: "You are here, and you should be General Huang's butler." ”

Mother Deng was still a little hesitant: "I'm afraid that the concubine is incompetent and can't take care of it well." ”

"It's okay!" Huang Zhong waved his hand and said: "There are two old servants to help, just act as usual and recruit two more maids." ”

Mother Deng was grateful, knelt down again, and Huang Zhong asked the old servant to take the mother and son to live in the West Wing.

Liu Qi picked up the tea bowl, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Hansheng has been alone for many years, why don't you continue the strings?" ”

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and sighed: "Since the death of his son, he was heartbroken and disheartened, and entrusted a daughter to his relatives, if it were not for General Liu's consolation, he would have committed suicide by throwing himself into the river." Now that he is over half a hundred years old, he doesn't think about it, and he can make contributions and become famous in the future, and this life is enough! ”

"That's a mistake!" Liu Qi shook his head and said: "Lian Po is still able to compete for power in his seventies, Hansheng is in the year of fighting, and it is equally important to build a family and a career, I think Deng's mother is very virtuous, I don't know if Hansheng intends to?" ”

"This ......" Huang Zhong was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Then Deng Ainai is the person who responds to the order, how can Huang dare to accept his mother and son?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Isn't Hansheng a meritorious service to the Han Dynasty?" I suddenly had this thought, not only for the sake of the general, but also for the cultivation of Deng Ai. If you teach him your skills, you will be a tiger general in the future! ”

"It turns out that Da Lang is far-sighted!" Huang Zhong nodded his head, thought for a moment and said: "The life of the lord is better than that of his parents, I dare not resign, as long as Mother Deng does not think I am lonely and old, everything is according to orders." ”

Occasionally talking along the way, he also saw that Mother Deng was not only virtuous, but also literate and hyphenated, distinguishing between right and wrong, if he could leave incense for the Huang family again, he would have no regrets for the rest of his life.

Liu Qi went to Deng Mu in person to explain the situation of the two families, and was willing to be a matchmaker for the two, if Deng Ai became the son of Huang Zhong, it would be natural for him to learn art.

Although Mother Deng was loyal and reasonable, she also knew that orphans and widows had many difficulties, and she didn't know how to repay Liu Qi and Huang Zhong, so she should accept it.

In ancient times, the fate of parents in marriage was the greatest, not to mention that Liu Qi was the matchmaker, the Han Dynasty's restrictions on women were not very strict, and it was common for widows to remarry.

Neither of them wanted to make a big splash, so Liu Qi simply officiated for the marriage of the two on the same day, burned incense in the ancestral hall, and set up a simple banquet, which was considered a ceremony.

That night, Huang Zhongdong's room was full of candles, and Liu Qi slept with Deng Ai, making connections for the first time, and there was an indescribable sense of achievement.

Listening to the little stammerer talk about his childhood, it was both poignant and strong, as if he had returned to the situation when he was studying in the countryside.

Early the next morning, Huang Zhong was in good spirits, and Deng's mother changed into silk clothes, which was a little more charming and noble, and from now on, she was the owner of this mansion.

Liu Qi took Deng Ai to the government to meet Yang Jun and entrusted him to teach him attentively, there are more than 100 students in the Suixian Academy, and Yang Jun and two protégés personally teach, which is enough for Deng Ai to learn for a while.

After returning from the school, Huang Zhong had bought four maids, two servants, and hired more than a dozen people to clean up the yard, and the house finally had the smell of fireworks.

After arranging everything, Liu Qi asked Huang Zhong to stay for a few more days, and by the way, he taught Deng Ai some martial arts basics, and then sent someone to pass it on when there was a war.

The adult world understands each other, Huang Zhong thanked Liu Qi, but still sent him to Wancheng in person before returning home.

At this time, the military and people of Wancheng had fun, the recruits from all over the country were completed, and the eliminated ones were responsible for patrolling the city, and the sound of training was everywhere, and the fighting spirit of the whole city was high.

In the palace, Mi Zhu greeted him with a happy face: "General, Cao Cao replied and was willing to give thirty percent, in my opinion, it is almost over." ”

"It seems that Cao Cao can't wait to send troops," Liu Qi smiled coldly and said, "Since he wants to raise troops to take revenge, why should I be polite?" Then give each other half of it! ”

"Yes, why do we have to agree to Cao Thief's thirty percent?" For the first time, Zhang Fei was so stubborn with Cao Cao, Zhang Fei was very relieved, "Let half of it be on the face of the Son of Heaven." ”

Mi Zhu hesitated: "I'm afraid that I will annoy Cao Cao and raise troops to come, wouldn't it be empty of people and money." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "This bargaining is different from doing business, after all, Cao Ren is ......"

When he was discussing, he saw Xu Shu stumbling over, his face full of tears, and he knelt on the ground when he saw Liu Qi.

Everyone was shocked, Xu Shu has always been calm and calm, and he is like a god, how can he be so out of shape today?

Liu Qi's heart sank, but he was afraid that Xu's mother's letter had arrived, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Shu: "Why is this, military advisor?" ”

"Regret not listening to the general!" Xu Shu beat his chest and feet, tears welled up, and said ashamedly: "A certain is not a single blessing, it is actually Yingchuan Xu Shu, the character is straight, he changed his name because he fled, deceived the general, and deserved death!" ”

Liu Qi helped Xu Shu sit down and said with a smile: "It's just a name, as long as I take care of the military advisor, it's enough, why care about the name and surname?" ”

Zhang Fei also stepped forward to persuade: "My second brother also changed his name to take refuge in the rivers and lakes when he killed the bully, which is not a big deal." ”

Everyone persuaded one after another, but when they saw Xu Shu take out a letter and hand it to Liu Qi, he shook his head and regretted it.
