Chapter 195: Hypocrisy and Wrongdoing
Liu Qi told him that he was going to see Wu Guotai in the afternoon, but he was temporarily pushed to Ganlu Temple.
Qiao Xuan didn't know what he meant, and promised to go to the mansion early tomorrow morning to see Wu Guotai to congratulate him, and if there was any news, he would send someone to inform him.
Liu Qi chatted for a while, seeing that it was not early, he returned to the pavilion, Xu Shu had already returned, and Zhuge Jin did not know about it.
Xu Shu had a direct showdown: Guan Yu's 50,000 army was in Jiangxia, Liu Pan's men and horses retreated to Fankou, and sent people to exchange news every day, once the situation changed, the army could kill Jianye in one day.
"Isn't this Zhou Yu's plan?" Liu Qi's expression was solemn, "Or is there another organ in Ganlu Temple?" ”
The sudden change cast a shadow on everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became tense.
In the middle of the night, Xi Guan came back with a sense of alcohol, he drunk Lu Yi, but he didn't ask for any valuable information, Sun Quan has been busy with military affairs since he came back, and there is no movement in the house.
Liu Qi had no choice but to wait for Qiao Xuan to see Wu Guotai tomorrow and see if he could ask for any news.
Early the next morning, but Zhuge Jin arrived first, and met with Xu Shu last night, for fear that something would really change, so he went to Lu Su overnight to ask.
Zhuge Jin told everyone not to worry, Wu Guo was too afraid that Liu Qi would not like his daughter, so he would go on a blind date in Ganlu Temple and then get married, that's all.
Liu Qi and the others were suspicious, and Gan Ning even scolded him, the marriage was proposed by you Jiangdong, and you came to help so much, but you temporarily changed the hexagram and directly asked Liu Qi to leave directly, why should you be treated like this?
Zhuge Jin persuaded him again and again, saying good things, Wu Guotai loves his little daughter Sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan is a person of great filial piety, and it is not good to disobey the old lady.
Liu Qi thought to himself that if it was just a blind date, it wouldn't be a big deal, it was a big deal, your Sun family was a relative of my royal family, and you were still so pretentious, giving you face?
The most important thing in this trip is to form an alliance, stabilize Jiangdong, let them not stab them in the back, and enter Shu with peace of mind, so that Gan Ning will go out of the city to meet Su Fei, and the others will prepare to leave.
When he was cleaning up, Qiao Qiao came in from the back door, came to see Liu Qi alone, hugged his fists and said: "My father has found out the news, and Mrs. Guo is going to go on a blind date in Ganlu Temple." ”
Liu Qi nodded and said, "Mr. Fang Cailu has already come to inform me about this, I don't know if I can ask the reason?" ”
"This ......" Qiao Qiao was puzzled: "If I say it, I'm afraid that the general's face will not look good." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to speak!" Liu Qi said: "Knowing the reason, I am steady, so I have a countermeasure, right?" ”
Qiao Qiao said: "The day before yesterday, Duke Zhang went to the mansion and said that the general was greedy for money and lustful, and he had an affair with his maid before he was married, and he forcibly recruited Zhao Fan's brother and sister-in-law in Guiyang, and his character was corrupt, which is not enough...... Koto son-in-law. ”
"In this way, Qiao Gong also believes it?" Liu Qi smiled helplessly.
Qiao Qiao smiled dryly: "What is the general's conduct, my father doesn't dare to make judgments." ”
Explaining this kind of thing will only get darker and darker, and the gossip person only believes what he imagines, where will he listen to the words of the person concerned?
If you talk too much, you will be buttoned up with a hat that you want to cover, and you will intensify the rumors!
But if you don't explain, it will cause misunderstanding, and even Qiao Xuan won't help anymore, and the next situation will not be easy to handle.
Liu Qi walked to the window with his hands behind his back and said slowly: "There are indeed these two daughters, but they are not as Zhang Zibu said, many hidden facts are not enough for outsiders!" ”。
Qiao Qiao was originally curious, as if the paparazzi who were listening to the secret news of celebrities, he was quite disappointed when he heard this, and hugged his fists and said: "Since the general has something unspeakable, then I will leave." ”
"Wait!" Liu Qi turned around, seemed to have made a difficult decision, and sighed: "That maid is actually the eyeliner that Cai's placed next to me, and I saw through it. Because of her poor background and coercion by Mrs. Cai, she spared her life, and she was willing to atone for her sins and take the initiative to stay in the house. ”
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "I see, the general dares to keep this woman by his side, it is really benevolent and wise, admire!" ”
Liu Qi said again: "As for Mrs. Fan, it was Zhao Fan who took the initiative to be the matchmaker, and his brother was in charge of many caravans, but unfortunately he was killed, and he wanted to use my hands to make his family business bigger, and the Fengxiang was set up by me for Mrs. Fan." ”
"Feng Xiang has also heard of it below!" Marriages are common in this era, and Qiao Qiao didn't care about it, and hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that there is some misunderstanding here, so I'll go to my father." ”
"Three people become tigers, and people's words are terrifying!" Liu Qi sighed loudly, "I don't care about outsiders' discussions, as long as Qiao Gong can know my heart and live up to my father's trust, it's enough!" ”
A deep performance finally satisfied Qiao Qiao, and he left with a satisfied face.
Liu Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, since he knew what was going on, it would be easy to do.
There must be an explanation to Wu Guotai about this matter, it is better to tell Qiao Xuan first, and let him tell Wu Guotai that there is a buffer process, so that they will not be embarrassed when they meet.
After cleaning up, Lu Su also came to the pavilion to pick him up, and said: "Wu Hou and the Metropolitan Governor went to Niuzhu and Qu Abu to inspect and ordered me to accompany them. ”
Liu Qi quipped: "Military affairs are important, only by taking precautions can I marry with peace of mind, right?" ”
One sentence caused everyone to laugh, and a trace of disharmony dissipated, and Liu Qi only took Zhao Yun and Xu Shu, together with three hundred white soldiers, and went straight to Ganlu Temple.
Ganlu Temple is on a mountain in the northwest of Jianye, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, very quiet, Buddhism in the late Han Dynasty has only developed recently, the scale of the temple is not large, and there are not many Buddha statues, mainly for practice, translation of scriptures, preaching.
On the square outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Sun Kuang and Zhang Zhao were watching the monks set up the dojo, although there was no such practice in previous years, but since the words were spoken, the appearance still had to be done.
Seeing Liu Qi coming, Sun Kuang hurriedly caught up, hugged his fists and said: "It's really lazy for General Lao to come to this remote place again." ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "It's quiet here, the flowers and birds are talking, but it's much more comfortable." ”
Zhang Zhao hugged his fists and said: "The general has made great contributions in this battle, and he is really a nobleman in Jiangdong!" The old man has arranged a meditation room for the general in the back mountain, and he can rest here with peace of mind. ”
"How dare Mr. Lao?" Liu Qi remained silent, and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "I was in the wet beard before, and I was talking too aggressively, please forgive me for being young and vigorous, and I have no mouth to cover, and I offended Mr." ”
Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and laughed: "Although you and I disagree, but we are both Jiangdong foundations, don't you know that the general has good intentions?" The old man was entrusted by the rebellious general on his deathbed, if he was worried about this matter, what face would he have to assist Wu Hou? ”
Liu Qi didn't break it, they talked and laughed with each other, but they scolded the bad old man in his heart!
People like Zhang Zhao represent most of the contemporary Confucian celebrities: full of hypocritical sense of superiority, they can only fight in the nest, only make promises to the outside world, and attack hard inside.
