Chapter 201 Settling Liu Yuanqi (Part 2) (Remastered)

In theory, Liu Tao has been in Luoyang for a while, but except for the palace, what he is more familiar with is the vegetable market, and then Cai Yan's house, and at most he counts the papermaking workshop outside the city.

The result of being too home is highlighted here. He doesn’t know how to find a house for his father now.

"Why do you feel like you are not very familiar with Luoyang?" After walking around for half an hour, Liu Yuanqi also found clues, so he came forward to ask.

"I have never left the military camp..." Liu Tao was a little confused. "Actually, the houses you want to rent will be hung with signs at the door... Slowly, there will be one there!"

It is directly a big house facing the street. It looks quite large and looks very generous.

"I can't afford to rent that kind of house." Liu Yuanqi shook his head, "Besides, it's too big, it's too wasteful for me to live alone."

In fact, if there is less than 300 coins a year, Liu Tao doesn’t think it’s anything, after all, he really has money.

"At worst, I can go to the market and buy a few maids and servants to come back." Liu Tao said casually, "Besides, it's less than a quarter of an hour away from the palace. Maybe I can come here to live at that time."

"Then... go over and ask?" Liu Yuanqi was stunned when he heard this, and was really moved. Perhaps at the age of forty, he would start to want his children to be by his side, right?

Liu Tao didn't want to be so troublesome, so he simply went over and asked. He asked the housekeepers left by the owner, but the reality still hit them critically.

This house, Guangluxun Liu Kuan's house, is Liu Tao's immediate boss, and it is also a house rewarded by His Majesty. Liu Kuan doesn't like this luxurious house very much, so he wants to rent it out, but the price is not very friendly, a year of one thousand guan.

Liu Tao couldn't help but suspect that this house was probably not the price that Liu Kuan himself ordered. After all, Cai Yan's side was only 200 coins.

"Or..." Liu Tao looked at Liu Yuanqi, who shook his head vigorously. Not to mention a thousand guan a year, when his family was in Zhuo County, his annual income was only about 100 guan. He could only rent this place for ten years without eating or drinking, and he would not do it if he was beaten to death!

"There is no choice but to find another place." Liu Tao could only continue to look for something else.

In the end, the two of them were chatting while looking for the house they were renting, and they had to talk about Liu Bei. Liu Tao thought he would follow Liu Yan all the time, but he didn't expect that Qingzhou Governor Gong Jing sent someone to ask for help, so he brought a thousand troops south to support him.

It seems that he was later awarded the title of Anxi County Captain... Liu Tao really wants to complain about this, it can be the same as history. Without Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and even Jian Yong, Liu Bei's combat power should have been greatly reduced.

"I haven't contacted you later?" Liu Tao asked casually.

"When I was in office, I wrote a letter asking me if I wanted to go there. I also sent some property back, and said I would like to thank me for my care all the time... Later, I came over and wrote a letter to tell him about my coming to Luoyang before coming." Liu Yuanqi said.

"Can he be the county lieutenant be a long time?" Liu Tao sighed, "Your Majesty seems to have asked all prefectures and counties to check the officials promoted for military merits. Depending on the situation, some officials who kill good people or falsely report military merits will be removed from office."

"He was shot out with real swords and guns." Liu Yuanqi refuted.

"But whether the people who are assessing say that depends on whether Liu Bei is tactful or not." Liu Tao smiled, remembering that in history, it was not Zhang Fei who beat the supervisor, but this clan brother.

Liu Yuanqi smashed his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say. It was obvious that even though Liu Tao became a high-ranking official, he had reached the point where Liu Bei wanted to look up to him, but he was still full of hostility towards him.

"Oh?" A familiar voice came, "Deran?"

Liu Tao was stunned when he heard it, and looked over. As expected, he happened to see Zhen Jiang looking at him at the door of Cai's mansion. He came to his senses and looked around, and then he found that he had actually arrived at the Cai's mansion.

I agreed that I would not bring Liu Yuan up? As a result, I saw a house and walked here unknowingly... It was better to say that it was a habit than a subconscious mind. After all, there are only a few roads in Luoyang that I am familiar with.

Zhen Jiang was very happy to see Liu Tao, but was about to step forward, but he saw that there was a man beside him. So he couldn't help but stop and became a little restrained.

"She can't be..." Liu Yuanqi seemed to realize something when he saw this.

"Well... it's the child's engagement, Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family in Zhongshan." Liu Tao stepped forward to introduce, paused, turned around, and introduced to Zhen Jiang, "This is my father."

Liu Yuanqi came forward to greet him, so he had to introduce himself. The latter did not expect that it was his father-in-law who greeted him in a panic.

Unlike Cai Yan's dignity and stability, Zhen Jiang's age seems to be a bit insufficient in dealing with people. The key is that he is too young and should not be big, which is not conducive to fertility.

Liu Yuanqi secretly commented on Zhen Jiang. In his opinion, Zhen Jiang is only suitable for being a fair wife. That is, Liu Tao was granted a marquis, so he was qualified to choose a fair wife. Three wives and four concubines are not something that he can only want, and he will not give him a fair wife without a status.

Of course, now that the rituals and music are broken, rich families also have three wives and four concubines, but they have no identity. Except for the deducted wife, other wives and concubines are "illegal" and of course their children do not have the right to inherit.

Many wealthy merchants paid for the identity of "Guanneihou" because of this problem. They were really forced by their concubine's pillow and could not help...

"Speaking of this... Are there any houses for rent nearby?" Liu Tao saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he hurriedly came forward to ask. Why did he suddenly feel familiar?

"There is still an empty room here in the Cai Mansion...or..." Zhen Jiang looked into the room, but when he saw the blind spots of Liu Yuanqi and Liu Tao's eyes, Cai Yan shook his head vigorously.

When she rented the house, she had already agreed that it would be for women to rent it. Otherwise, if she would spend time with a man, she would not know what it would be like outside.

"No, no, no, this is not convenient." Liu Yuanqi shook his head when he heard this, "When you get married with Tao'er, it's okay to live with him when the time comes, it's too early."

Liu Fu and Liu Yuanqi of Zhuo County are also very caring about his feathers.

"There is a family for rent not far away..." Cai Yan was worried that Zhen Jiang could not handle it, so he took the initiative to come forward, "If you don't dislike it, the little girl will take you two over and take a look?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Liu Tao naturally had no problem, and Liu Yuanqi nodded as well.
