Chapter 73: The Dancing Girls
"Mrs. Feng?" Liu Qi was slightly stunned, it was not Zhao Zilong's sister-in-law Zhao Fan who outwitted Guiyang and refused to marry.
"Madame's name is Fan Feng, she is actually a dancer," Zhao Ling'er's cheeks were crimson, her gentle eyes were full of Liu Qi, and she said quietly: "Like me, she doesn't know her life experience......"
Liu Qi chuckled and said: "The Cai family's matter is over, this matter has nothing to do with her, I am not a person who is easy to kill, how can I implicate the innocent?" β
Zhao Ling'er shook her head slightly and asked, "Does Da Lang know about Guishan Country?" β
"Kushuang?" Liu Qi frowned slightly, nodded and said: "It is a distant place, the territory may be larger than the Central Plains, and the people in China believe in Buddhism." β
Zhao Ling'er's beautiful eyes turned, and she nodded: "Da Lang is really knowledgeable, Mrs. Feng has followed a Guishan caravan since she was a child, wandering around to do business, and they leave to please the guests with singing and dancing. Once the fleet encountered a strong wind in Jiaozhi, she was sold to the Central Plains, it was Zhao Fan's brother who bought her, and saw that the lady was outstanding and danced, so he took in the orphan girl and formed a dancing team to entertain guests, we are all members of the dancing team. β
Liu Qi couldn't imagine that Fan Feng would have such an experience, and asked, "Then how did you come to Xiangyang?" β
Zhao Ling'er smiled bitterly: "The matter of the Dancing Girl Team, in fact, most people in Xiangyang know about it, I heard that Lord Lian Lingzun also asked Zhao Fan for the Dancing Girl Team, Cai Mao bought the slave family with one million money, just to ......"
Liu Qi already understood, his palm wandered in the smooth and rounded curve, and asked, "What is Mrs. Fan's character?" β
Zhao Ling'er said: "Mrs. has suffered a lot since she was a child, and she loves us women very much, except for being strict when practicing dance, the rest of the time is treated like her own daughter, so we are all commensurate with godmothers." Since the death of Brother Zhao Fan, the Dancing Girls team has also been disbanded, and they have all been changed into maids and stayed in the mansion, and they have never bought people to train anymore. β
Liu Qi was a little curious: "Who is this brother of Zhao Fan, who dares to buy and sell people in private, so bold." β
Zhao Ling'er said: "Brother Zhao Fan is a well-known businessman in Jiaozhou and South Vietnam, and the pearls, spices, agate, ivory, etc. of Guishan were all transported to the Central Plains through him, and the assets are unknown. β
"So much money?" Liu Qi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he leaned over and asked, "Who takes care of those industries now?" β
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said: "It has been three years since the slave family left Guiyang, and Brother Zhao Fan has no heirs, so I don't know what the situation is now." β
Liu Qi hooked Zhao Ling'er's smooth chin and smiled: "It's a little interesting!" β
Zhao Ling'er said worriedly: "That godmother, she ......"
Liu Qi hugged the beauty in his arms and said with a smile: "Since Zhao Fan has never raised troops, it shows that he still has scruples!" He didn't make a big mistake this time, and it's not too late to know that he has lost his way! β
"Thank you, Dalang!" Zhao Ling'er exhaled lightly, and her snake-like body wrapped around again, "The slave family wants to repay you well!" β
β¦β¦
After a beautiful night, Liu Qi didn't know when to go to sleep, and he didn't get up until three poles in the morning and came to the house to meet Liu Biao.
Liu Biao sat in a precarious position, and was very satisfied with Liu Qi's gift, and said with a smile: "My son is in charge of the military alone, gathers civil and military, and uses meritocracy, I don't need to ask, but your life is undecided, and the old man has to intervene." β
Liu Qi hugged his fists and said: "Marriage, the order of parents, if the father has made a decision, the child should obey it." β
Liu Biao smiled and said: "In fact, three years ago, I have already looked for a good candidate for you, that is, the eldest lady of the Xi family in Xiangyang, the sister of Xi Zhen, a virtuous and gentle person, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and not much better than Cai Zhonglang's daughter." β
Liu Qi nodded and said: "The girl of the Xi family has already heard of it, and I heard that it is extremely pretty, but she has an arrogant temperament, I am afraid it will ......."
The surname Xi is also a big family in Jingzhou, their strength is not inferior to the Cai family, and the industry is very extensive, but because no one is an official in the court, their reputation is lower.
Today's younger generation, Xi Zhen is the most famous, second to Pang Tong, and the evaluation of the time is especially above Ma Liang, and the two are called Chu Zhi Lanfang.
Xi Yuan, the daughter of the Xi family, is a famous talented woman in Jingzhou, who has been highly praised by Huang Wan and Zhang Wen, and believes that her talent is no less than Cai Wenji.
Liu Biao stroked his beard and smiled: "Wu'er doesn't need to worry, you endured humiliation and burdens before, and you were laughed at by others, so Xi Yuan naturally looked down on it." But now that we have achieved fame and prestige, we are royal nobles, and it is the honor of the Xi family to marry the daughter of his Xi family. β
Liu Qi nodded and said, "In this case, the child will go to meet this talented girl of the Xi family for a while." β
Liu Biao stroked his beard and laughed: "My son has recovered from his illness, his bearing is extraordinary, and his poetry is shocking, just like his father, he is graceful and suave, and he will definitely be able to win the favor of this woman." β
Liu Qi nodded and smiled, and he didn't know if Liu Biao was praising himself or praising himself!
Liu Biao suddenly whispered again: "Last month, Xuan Zhenzi, the head of Wudang, went to Xiangyang and invited him to see this woman's appearance for his father, saying that this woman is a noble appearance, and among the children of the Xi family, there will be a true dragon son!" β
"This ......" Liu Qi didn't know whether to believe it for a while, and glanced at Liu Biao, and the father and son smiled.
In fact, Liu Biao at this time, like Liu Yan back then, has the heart of being the emperor, but his own strength is insufficient, so he can only think about it in his heart.
This Xuan Zhenzi's casual words made Liu Biao so solemn, which shows that he also has a restless heart.
While chatting, Liu Cong walked in and seemed a little nervous when he saw his brother, although he was only twelve years old, he also knew that Cai's grievances with his brother were greatly implicated in him.
Liu expressed his appreciation that Liu Cong stepped forward to salute and sighed: "Your two brothers should work together in the future to revitalize the Han family and strengthen my Liu family. β
Liu Qi took Liu Cong's little hand and said with a smile: "Cai's use of my brother to seize Jingzhou, his heart can be punished, the second brother is smart, you should study literature with your heart, and in the future, you can rest assured that you will hand over the rear to you to take care of." β
Liu Cong nodded seriously and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely do Xiao He's thing." β
"Cong'er is still young, but she has such insight, and she will become a great weapon in the future." Liu Biao smiled with relief: "Who else dares to say that my son of Liu Jingsheng is not successful?" β
Liu Cong's performance in history is actually not bad, he knew that he couldn't surrender to Cao at the age of twelve, but he had no power in his hands, and he couldn't help himself, but he was still killed by Cao Cao.
According to Cao Cao's urine, he should accept Mrs. Cai and keep Liu Cong as his righteous son, judging from this move, it seems that Liu Cong is still a little jealous, and he does not dare to raise a tiger.
The father and son are rarely reunited, chatting and laughing together, and enjoying rare family affection.
After breakfast, Liu Qi said goodbye and decided to go to Xi's house first to meet his future fiancΓ©e.
