Jushou greeted everyone with a smile and prepared to host a banquet in the manner of an elder.

Guo Jia whispered to Chen Gong: "Although Duke Ju is a minister, similar to us, he has a nurturing kindness and an uncle's affection for his lord."

Chen Gong suddenly understood, and through his own observations, he had some understanding of this team. Jushou's status was vaguely superior to others, but literary matters were mostly based on Xun or Xun, while in military affairs, Guo Jia's words were more relevant. Jushou and Tian Feng

Xun may have gotten closer to Guo Jia. This Li Wen seemed to be a little narrow-minded. Maybe he was similar to himself and joined later.

Liu Qing went straight back to his house. The three ladies were neatly dressed and standing at the door. Liu Qing only took one look and felt very good.

Cai Yan stood among the three people, wearing a pale green embroidered skirt with a ribbon tied in front, fluttering in the wind. It was obviously autumn, but seeing Cai Yan was as bright as spring, which made people smile.

Xun Cai, on the other hand, was dressed in red and purple, solemn and noble, her temples were golden, and her mouth seemed to be full of red pills. Those who didn't know, thought she was the matron of the family.

Qian Ying was wearing extremely plain clothes, even with tight sleeves. The only outstanding feature was the tassels tied around her waist, which set off her slim and slim waist.

The annoying Princess Wannian is nowhere to be found, and I don’t know where Ye Ye has gone.

Liu Qing looked at Cai Yan's hands, then at Xun Cai's mouth, and finally his eyes fell on Qian Ying's waist, and smiled: "What are you standing for? Enter the house!"

So the question is, whose house to enter?

Go to the study!

So Liu Qing took the opportunity and said, "Zhaoji, are there any important letters while I'm away?"

"They are all in the study room." Cai Yan said calmly.

"Let's go and do business first!"

Liu Qing said, and went to the study room with Cai Yan, leaving Xun Cai extremely envious.

Returning to the familiar environment, Liu Qing lazily sat down on the couch next to the eucalyptus, stared blankly at the beam, and took two deep breaths.

Cai Yan took the letter, placed it on the eucalyptus, and then sat down next to Liu Qing.

Unexpectedly, before he could sit firmly, Liu Qing pulled him into his arms, and the two of them pressed together in a strange posture.

Cai Yan was startled and said at a loss: "Husband, don't you have to do business first?"

Liu Qing mischievously approached Cai Yan's ear and whispered: "This is also business!"

Cai Yan felt itchy at the base of her ears, but she couldn't bear to avoid it, and cooperated with Liu Qing for a while.

The air in the study suddenly became sweet. Just when Cai Yan was shyly looking forward to taking a step closer, Liu Qing stopped.

"Come on, get down to business!"

With that said, he picked up a letter and handed it to Cai Yan.

Cai Yan unconsciously touched her red face with her green hands, and gradually returned to normal. Liu Qing's actions made her feel disappointed and happy at the same time.

Are you feeling disappointed because you are not attractive enough?

I am happy because my husband has not been carried away by lust and can retreat bravely, so he will be a good king.

Cai Yan opened the letter with his fingers, and a pleasant voice sounded.

"This letter comes from Nanyang. Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, was at odds with Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou. The two armies had an encounter in the Green Forest Mountain area, and each suffered injuries."

"Is there any news about Sun Jian in the letter?" Liu Qing asked. Sun Jian was also an important figure, and Liu Qing was still very concerned about him. Historically, the Battle of Nanyang was also his defeat.

"have!"

"What's the matter?"

"Sun Jian has been sent to contain Wuguan. I don't know that Li Jue is at Wuguan at the moment. I heard that Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang have also settled in Wuguan. Dong Zhuo is likely to leave Wuguan to attack Nanyang."

"The Yuan family is really unstoppable. The rebellion in Yanzhou has just subsided, so why is there going to be chaos in Jingzhou again?"

Because of Liu Qing, Cai Yan, who originally had a good impression of the noble family, now only hates the Yuan family.

"Yuan is greedy and makes trouble. It is best for Liu Biao and Dong Zhuo to work together to deal with Yuan Shu!" She expressed a rare opinion.

Liu Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhao Ji, there are capable people in the court, Yuan Gongli can't jump! Now I really want to know if the Yuan family can give one million stones of food and grass in exchange for Yuan Shao."

"One million stones..." Even though Cai Yan had seen the world, he was frightened by this number.

"Master Fu wants to hollow out the Yuan family!"

Liu Qing tapped Cai Yan's nose and said, "Don't underestimate the Yuan family. A million stones of food and grass is an astronomical figure to others, but for the Yuan family, it's really hard to say!"

"Runan has a population of two million and hundreds of thousands of households. Each household is granted 100 acres of farmland. Even including rotational farming, it is roughly estimated that the annual grain output is at least two million dan. The Yuan family has been operating in Runan for many years.

I am afraid it is not an exaggeration to say that the money, food and wealth I have accumulated can rival my country!"

Cai Yan didn't care much about these things. He nodded in understanding, and then took out an exquisite envelope covered with red silk.

At a glance, Liu Qing knew that this letter was by no means simple. It was probably related to the marriage granted by the imperial court.

Cai Yan looked at the red watch and was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "The imperial court has made Diao Chan, the daughter of Wang Situ, the Marquis of Fenyin, and she will marry the king on December 12 this year."
