Liu Ya's cheeks were red with embarrassment at Liu Qi's words. She used both hands to tightly hold the corners of her clothes, pursed her lips and said nothing, but she seemed to want to say something.

cute.

Liu Ya's expression made Liu Qi laugh. He couldn't help but think of the scene when Liu Ya took care of him just a few years ago when he traveled back to this era.

At that time, Liu Qi was practicing horse riding. During the galloping process, because of his unfamiliarity with horse handling, he was thrown off the horse's back and his head hit the ground heavily, causing him to fall into a coma.

It was during this coma that the time traveler Liu Qi possessed him.

But Liu Qi, who had traveled through time, saw the first thing he saw after waking up, not Liu Biao, not Liu Cong, and not Liu Xiu.

It was Xiao Liuya who, as his younger sister, had been helping to take care of him.

Liu Ya's thoughtfulness and carefulness warmed Liu Qi's heart, who had just traveled to this era. In this era, Liu Ya was also the first relative he met. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had family ties, Liu Qi would have felt

Just based on how carefully she took care of him back then, he and Liu Ya would definitely become a couple of gods. At this time, Cai Mi would probably have nothing to worry about.

But the reality is that this is impossible after all, blood ties are at stake here.

Based on this, among several younger brothers and sisters, Liu Qi is particularly fond of his younger sister Liu Ya.

"Sister, it's been a while since you came to Xiangyang from Gaoping. I've been busy fighting in the north and south and haven't cared about your affairs. Could it be that in such a long time, my father hasn't found anything for you among the wealthy Jingchu noble families?

Can you entrust young talents with lifelong talents?"

When Liu Qi talked about this, Liu Ya became even more angry.

She pouted and said aggrievedly: "Why didn't you look for me? But the problem is, who are the people my father is looking for? They are either weird, arrogant, not elegant, or ugly...

There is no one who looks like a human being at all.”

Liu Qi couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this: "Jingchu's young talents, if you describe them like this, they seem to be a bunch of unsightly monsters."

Liu Ya hummed: "It is true, and I am not just saying it randomly. Especially recently, my father has taken a fancy to Wang Can, a member of the Wang family who is from the same hometown as us, and he must let me marry him."

"Wang Can?" Liu Qi squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then nodded suddenly: "That is a genius. Although he is young, he is highly respected by Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang. His future reputation and future are truly limitless."

This is not nonsense. After all, Wang Can was historically listed as one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, and his reputation was very important among scholars.

Liu Qi smiled and said to Liu Ya: "Actually, my father also has good intentions. I also know that this Wang Can will be a well-known figure in the scholarly community in the future. If I can get him as my husband, I will not humiliate you, my sister."

Liu Ya pouted and said: "Brother, you have never seen that Wang Can's appearance... Well, to be honest, it's not that I'm picky, it's just that he is too ugly and unsightly. My father also taught me not to judge people by their appearance.

In fact, I also know that this is wrong...but Wang Can's appearance is really...sigh!"

But Liu Ya sighed quietly and whispered: "Brother, do you look down on me too?"

Liu Qi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Everyone has a love for beauty. My father is usually a beauty lover. How come he has different requirements when he comes to you?"

When Liu Ya told Liu Qi about this, she actually wasn't very confident, thinking that he would have the same attitude as Liu Biao, so she was quite uneasy when she spoke.

What she never expected was that Liu Qi actually understood her so well, which made Liu Ya very surprised and a little happy at the same time.

I never thought that my brother could be so considerate.

Looking at Liu Ya's eyes, Liu Qi smiled and said: "People can't restrain their direct nature. Everyone knows the love of beauty. Who doesn't like good-looking people and things? Look at your two sisters-in-law, which one is not beautiful and fragrant.

?It is normal for my sister to want to find a better-looking husband."

Liu Ya smiled and said: "Thank you, brother, for making the decision for me... It's just my father's side..."

Liu Qi thought for a while and said: "Father, let me write a letter to tell you. You don't have to worry...but I have to tell you one thing. You need to be prepared in your heart."

"Brother, what do you want to tell me about?"

"Although that pottery merchant is handsome and has a high status and family status, he is currently in the category of a hostage in our Xinye. He is used by me to check and balance Xuzhou Tao Qian. Once there is a problem between Jingzhou and Xuzhou in the future,

, I’m afraid that the pottery merchant may not be able to be protected enough.”

After hearing this, Liu Ya lowered her head and bit her lip without saying anything.

Liu Qi saw Liu Ya's expression was not good, he couldn't help but sighed secretly, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be too sentimental, let's do this, in a few days I will find an opportunity for you to get to know Tao Shang, whether he is a hostage or not, or

Not only do you all get to know each other, right?"

When Liu Ya heard this, she immediately smiled.

…

Two days later, Liu Qi invited several young friends from the military and county offices in the name of a private banquet to a mansion beside the white water to have a banquet and picnic together, which could be regarded as increasing the relationship between these young colleagues.

It was said to be a picnic, but due to the cold weather, everyone just hid in a house next to the white water, drinking, singing and eating inside while watching the scenery outside.

It is somewhat similar to the parties and feasts held in ocean view rooms in later generations, but the scale is far smaller than that of later generations.

Cai Mi, Liu Cong, Liu Xiu, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, Zhang Yun, Li Dian, Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci, Liu Ling and Liu Ya, all had a picnic and a banquet here at the distance of Liu Qi.

In addition, there is an older person, Xun You, the chief secretary who has just joined Liu Qi's army.

As for the banquet items, Liu Qi had already ordered them to be prepared before arriving, including delicacies from the mountains, seasonal vegetables, various pastries, and a whole deer that Wei Yan had shot in the forest before, and dragged them directly to the open space outside the house.

, he and Zhang Ren would cut it open, wash it, peel it, and grill it themselves.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the dishes were prepared, everyone began to sit on the floor in the house, surrounding the prepared food, drinking happily and chewing heavily.

Especially Dian Wei and Zhang Ren, their mouths were full of oil after eating, which made Liu Cong and Liu Xiu frown. They really didn't want to eat at the same table with such warriors.

But Liu Cong and Liu Xiu also knew that these two men were also important generals under Liu Qi's command. They were also the captains who were in charge of elite soldiers and generals in several major battalions under Liu Qi's command. They were indeed existences that could not be ignored.

Therefore, although Liu Cong and Liu Xiu maintained their identities and were unwilling to sit at the table with these warriors, they could only endure it.

Liu Qi held the wine glass and said to the people present: "Today we are full of distinguished guests. Those who come to eat barbecue with me include my own flesh and blood brothers from the Liu family of Shanyang, as well as those who have shared joys and sorrows with me in the past two years.

Everyone who can sit here is the person Liu relies on the most, but you are not very familiar with each other. Today, let's have a good time and get to know each other better!"

After that, Liu Qi half-pointed to Liu Cong and said: "Zhong Huang, starting with you, how about introducing yourself to everyone?"

Liu Cong then followed Liu Qi's request and reported his family name, name, and current position at the same time.

The rest of the people also followed Liu Cong's example and began to introduce themselves one by one.

Everyone made introductions very quickly, and finally it was the potter's turn, who was rather embarrassed, to start the introduction.

"I am a Danyang pottery merchant named Zidu. I have met all the sages."

After saying a simple sentence, the potter will sit down.

Liu Qi hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Master Tao, wait a moment."

The pottery merchant was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Qi curiously.

"Everyone introduced just now has their own official position. Only Tao Jun's introduction was so hasty, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

The pottery merchant smiled helplessly and said, "Tao has a low status and is not a native of Jingchu. He has other reasons for settling here, so why should I elaborate?"

At this time, Liu Ya heard from the side: "Master Tao's words are too modest. Just now I heard the introductions of everyone present. Although they are all handsome talents, not all of them are from famous families. Since Mr. Tao

When you come to this banquet, you need to be free and easy-going. If you are secretive, won't you lose your own momentum and make people look down on you for nothing?"

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Liu Ya in surprise, never expecting that these words would be said by his sister.

After three days of farewell, everyone was treated with admiration. It seemed that the old Liu family, both male and female, had grown up a lot.

Tao Shang was also slightly surprised by Liu Ya's words. After a long silence, he turned around and bowed to Liu Ya, saying, "What the lady said is that Tao acted coyly."

Liu Ya smiled and nodded to him.

Cai Mi sat next to Liu Qi and seemed to see something. Her eyes turned slightly, the light flowed, and her lips came to Liu Qi's ear and said: "Young Master, do you feel it? Sister Ya'er, it seems

I have no sympathy for Mr. Tao."

Liu Qi snorted in his heart when he heard this, and thought to himself, "If you don't care about me, why should I instigate this meal?"

However, his face looked serious: "Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Sister, please don't talk nonsense."

Cai Mi looked at the two of them back and forth with a slight smile, and laughed in a low voice: "Who is talking nonsense? You men are all very careless, and you can't tell the truth at all. Sister, I tell you that these two people are destined to have a relationship in the future.

."

The muscles on Liu Qi's face twitched back and forth.

Cai Mi, this girl, really doesn't listen to what she says.

But I heard Tao Shang say calmly: "I, Tao Shang, was originally from Danyang County, and is currently the Prime Minister of Nanyang County. Yan Jun is Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. He led his troops to Danyang County to compete with others, but was defeated and humiliated, so he left his son there.

Think of it as a hostage."

When everyone heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all very surprised.

I didn't expect that the pottery merchant could say such a humiliating thing so calmly, but he didn't take it lightly.

After a short while, Liu Qi suddenly raised the wine baron in his hand and said: "One code means one code. It is respectable for Tao Juncheng to speak frankly. In my opinion, Tao Jun is not a hostage, but actually one of us."

Good friend."

Liu Qi turned around and looked around and said to everyone: "Congratulations to Mr. Tao!"

Everyone raised their wine glasses and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to Mr. Tao!"

After that, everyone drank it all.

Afterwards, the atmosphere obviously became much more joyful. Everyone started to drink and congratulated each other. For a time, the atmosphere of the banquet was unprecedentedly high.

Everyone paid respect to each other and chatted with each other. Dian Wei and Li Dian, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded the pottery merchant in the middle, drinking with him and shouting loudly.
