The essence of what Zhang Yun said to the Du family women was not that he was concerned about how the Du family women would fare, but that he had his own purpose.

He is a person who is proficient in flattery, and he naturally knows how to win the closeness and trust of those in power.

Just sending Liu Qi a maid to serve tea and water is not a big deal.

Maybe in one or two years, this little achievement will be forgotten by Liu Qi and will not last long.

But if you give him a concubine, the meaning is different.

In Zhang Yun's opinion, this woman named Du is the best choice in terms of appearance and figure, and few people can compare with her.

If I could offer a beautiful concubine who was favored by the young master, blow some pillow wind into the young master's ears from time to time, and say a few kind words to myself, then I would be in a big trouble with those generals who were promoted simply by earning military merit.

Same.

For Du's daughter, she is also his savior after all, right?

It was a good thing at first, but this woman didn't seem to care about it!

Alas, you deserve to suffer.

If he hadn't been born with two ounces of extra flesh under his crotch, with Zhang Yun's temperament, he would have offered himself a pillow to warm Liu Qi's bed. How could he give the Du family a chance?

This guy was born at the wrong time and was born in the wrong child.

…

Early the next morning, Liu Qishang was still asleep.

Vaguely, I could smell the aroma of rice.

Liu Qi rubbed his eyes and then turned over to get up.

Facing the sunshine outside the window, what comes into view is wild rice that has been placed on a small table, and a portion of sunflower vegetables in a wooden bowl.

Just by smelling it, it's much better than what those rough guys in the army do.

For people in this era, among the six livestock, cattle and horses are so precious that almost no one would be willing to eat them, and the rest of the meat is also very rare, which can be said to be a luxury among luxuries.

There is a saying in the Han Dynasty that those who are not old and noble should not eat meat.

But at the same time, wanting to eat some green vegetables is not that simple.

Because of scoring season.

The green vegetables that people in the Han Dynasty ate as staple food were different from those eaten by people in later generations. They were not cabbage, rapeseed, but mainly the "five vegetables" that are opposite to the "six domestic animals", namely "sunflower, hyacinth, scallion, green onion, and leek".

.

Among the five vegetables, mallow is the only one that is slightly frost-resistant during this season, but it is only tolerant to light cold but not severe cold, and is scarce in quantity.

Even if there is something like mallow, it is not easy to make it delicious. The types of condiments in this era are relatively scarce and precious.

If you are cooking meat, just use some salt.

But if you want to cook vegetables well, you need some skills.

Since he sent troops from Nanjun, Liu Qi only tasted the dishes cooked by these reckless soldiers once and never touched them again.

It's not that he's being pretentious, but it's really hard to swallow.

Besides, the first five dishes are also delicacies these days. Simply not eating them can be regarded as saving some military supplies for the army.

But not eating doesn’t mean you don’t want to.

Next to the short table, the epic beauty who was arranged by Zhang Yun to serve him asked: "Young master is awake? I have prepared a meal for him and invited him to a feast."

Liu Qi lifted the quilt, stretched his waist, and said, "I want to freshen up. You should go and do other things first."

After hearing this, Mrs. Du had the foresight to bring water in a wooden basin and wash Liu Qi.

After Liu Qi washed his face, she helped him tie his hair.

Liu Qi used to live in his hometown of Shanyang County and Nan County, and there were people at home serving him every day. He was not unaccustomed to it, but this was the first time he had been treated like this since he went into the army.

Moreover, Du's hands seemed to be more skillful than those of the servants in the clan.

While he was tying up Liu Qi's hair, Liu Qi inadvertently shook her body slightly, and the back of her head would touch her soft spot from time to time.

How can one big word describe that feeling?

"Wow! Such breasts!" Liu Qi sighed secretly.

There are no bronze mirrors in the army, and there is no way to take a photo with your hair tied up, but Liu Qi felt that it should be good.

While he was having a simple meal, he was asking questions to the woman who was busy cleaning up the house.

"what's your name?"

"To return to the young master, my name is Du Yan...the small name is Ling Yi."

These days, the surnames generally belong to men, and the surnames of women generally refer to their nicknames and nicknames, which are generally used by relatives at home to call them.

But some women continue to use small characters when they reach adulthood.

While drinking porridge, Liu Qi said: "Lingyi? It sounds good. Are you from a family of Confucian classics?"

Du Yan slowly lowered her head and said: "I don't dare...it's just that when Jia Yan was alive, he was the third elder in the village."

Liu Qi suddenly realized that she was still the daughter of a rural official who was in charge of education. No wonder her behavior was very polite, and her small words sounded quite charming.

"I heard Zhang Sima say last night that you were rescued by him from a rural pavilion under Song County?"

Du Yan nodded lightly and said: "Back to the young master, it was indeed General Zhang who saved me from danger."

Liu Qi nodded slowly and asked kindly: "Tell me what happened last night. Tell me in detail. Don't hide it."

The reason Liu Qi wanted to listen was not because he was gossip.

But he wanted to see if Zhang Yun had lied to him.

If this woman is really kidnapped by Zhang Yun, then I really need to regulate Zhang Yun's behavior.

It's not that Liu Qi thought too much. If this matter was handled by Huang Zhong, Wenpin and others, Liu Qi would definitely not ask and would have 100% trust.

But although Zhang Yun was loyal to him, he had a natural tendency to go astray and was not very disciplined.

Such a person is easy to use, but if you don't pay close attention to him, he will sometimes easily cross the line and do things he shouldn't do, and it is also easy to deceive others.

Since we want to use this cousin, we must naturally use his method.

Huang Zhong, Wenpin, Li Dian, Jia Long, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, Zhang Yun... everyone has their own usage and cannot be generalized.

Faced with Liu Qi's questions, Du Yan naturally did not dare to hide anything, and then told Liu Qi in detail what happened last night.

Liu Qi had already concluded that what Zhang Yunzhi said was indeed true after hearing half of it.

But out of politeness, he did not interrupt Du Yan and continued to listen carefully.

However, there was something in this that surprised Liu Qi.

After Du Yan finished speaking, Liu Qi asked her curiously: "Just now, you said, what is the name of the thief who wants to take you as his wife, Qin?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Du Yan didn't seem to want to recall this incident, but since Liu Qi asked her, she had to answer and said: "I vaguely remember, he seems to

He calls himself Qin Yi..."

Liu Qi: "..."

Hearing this name, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

If the Qin Yi mentioned by Du Yan is really the Qin Yilu mentioned in the after-dinner tea talk in later generations,

——Then the Du Yan in front of me is most likely Mrs. Du, the most beautiful woman among Cao Cao's wives.

Legend has it that on the day when the city of Xiapi was destroyed, Cao Cao took this girl from Qin Yilu as a concubine because of her beauty. Her son Qin Lang was also left in the mansion to be raised by Cao Cao. Mrs. Du gave birth to Cao Lin and Cao Gun for Cao Cao.

, Princess Jinxiang.

There are even rumors that Guan Yu asked Cao Cao for this woman many times before attacking Xia Pi. Of course, it is difficult to say whether this is true.

Although it is difficult to say what happened to Guan Yu, since Cao Cao deliberately took Mrs. Du from the hands of a surrendered general, it means that this woman's appearance is by no means simple.

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Du Yan carefully.

Soft cheeks, pointed chin, soft neck, graceful figure...well, it really could be her.

Du Yan's face turned red and hot when Liu Qi looked at her.

She rubbed her skirt with both hands, as if she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and whispered in a soft voice: "Why do you, Master, look at me like this..."

"I see...that's the look!" Liu Qi discovered the key point in Du Yan's performance.

Her frightened look like a deer, coupled with her squirming body, coupled with her delicacy, gave people the feeling of being tortured and weathered.

Her appearance will stimulate men to have an impulse to want and want her.

It was a kind of savage possessiveness, a feeling of wanting to crush her into pieces.

"If you want to protect yourself in the future, be sure not to show the same attitude as before in front of men." Liu Qi picked up the chopsticks, put the last piece of mallow into his mouth, and said to Du Yan while chewing.

Du Yan didn't expect Liu Qi to say that to her, so she subconsciously asked: "Why?"

"The way you look is like poison, which makes men willing to take risks for you and drink poison to quench their thirst."
