Chapter 14

June 1, Lianxiang building.

Early in the morning, Lianxiang building was ready. The attendants in the building are well dressed. Since getting the news that Liu Biao is going to hold a cultural fair in Lianxiang building, Deng Xu, the boss of Lianxiang building, has made preparations early.

Deng Xu, a native of Nanyang, came to Jingzhou in his early years.

He didn't read much, but he was very smart. In a short time in Jingzhou, he opened up a situation and had a lot of contacts. After the opening of Lianxiang building, many people came to support it. Over time, the reputation of Lianxiang building became famous.

With both hands on his back and a big fat stomach, Dunch said, "today we are all distinguished guests. We must be more careful. No mistakes are allowed. If someone makes a mistake, break his legs, fold up the package and roll away. "

The cold words made the attendants in the restaurant play a twelve point spirit.

"How are you ready, Dunch?"

Cai Di dressed appropriately and strode to inquire.

Although it was undertaken by Lianxiang building, in order to avoid mistakes, Cai had sent Cai Di to supervise early to avoid neglect. Those who attended the meeting were all great Confucian scholars of Jingxiang. A little neglect affected Liu Biao's reputation.

With a strong smile on his face, Deng Xu assured: "Tsai, you can rest assured that everything has been arranged properly. In the elegant room on the second floor, I have removed all the curtains and changed the layout of the windows. Now the second floor is spacious and elegant. Sitting on the second floor, you can overlook the Lotus Lake in the rear. Especially now it's June, and the lotus is opening first. It's the best time to appreciate it. "

Cai Di said, "let's go and have a look."

"Please

Dunch waved his hand.

Cai Di nodded and went straight to the second floor.

The second floor has been completely rearranged, with tables on it. The daylighting of this floor is very good. The sun rises early and the golden light falls into the room. It's bright and comfortable. It's even more comfortable to enjoy the lotus lake outside the window.

Cai Di satisfied with the way: "you work, is to let people rest assured."

"It's also Deng's honor for Zhou Mu to choose to hold a cultural meeting in Lianxiang building," Deng said

"If only you knew!" Cai Di said, "you can do it. I'm going down."

Cai Di went downstairs to inspect the preparation of drinks and dishes. When Cai Di was busy, Liu Qi, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu went to the restaurant first.

Cai Mao looked at Liu Qi and Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Qi and Mr. Xiu, you can go upstairs and have a rest."

Liu Qi answered directly and said, "since that's the case, it's hard for Mr. de Li!"

Without thinking about it, Liu Qi turned and went upstairs.

However, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. de Li, I don't speak after my second brother. It's an eye opener. You and the second brother are busy. Don't worry about me. "

Cai Mao frowned slightly and looked at Liu Xiu. He was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

After all, Liu Xiu is Liu Biao's son.

Cai Mao stood on Liu Cong's side, but he couldn't go too far, and Liu Xiu's request was reasonable.

Liu Cong snorted, very unhappy. But when he thought about it, he thought that when people came and went later, Liu Xiu was standing behind him as if he were a member of the class. He was very happy and said, "well, I'll let you follow. But remember, don't talk

Liu Xiu said: "second brother, don't worry, I understand."

As for Cai Mao's arrangement, Liu xiuxin was very clear.

The reason why Liu Cong was invited to participate in the reception was that Cai Mao wanted to introduce Liu Cong to the participants. In this way, Liu Cong can at least be familiar with all the participants. Cai Mao didn't introduce him, but standing behind Liu Cong, he was able to know who was coming through CAI Mao's introduction, and he was able to deal with it when the conference began.

"Mr. ejie is here!"

Not long after, a servant of Lianxiang building sang loudly.

After hearing this, Cai Mao nodded to Liu Cong and took the initiative to meet him.

Yi Ji is in his early 40s. He is tall and handsome. He has a long beard under his jaw. He is elegant and dignified. Yi Ji was born in Shanyang County of Yanzhou, and he was a fellow townsman and friend of Liu Biao. In Jingzhou, Yi Ji was not only a subordinate of Liu Biao, but also a friend. He had a special status. Even when Cai Mao met Yi Ji, he was polite.

Cai Mao stepped forward and said, "brother Ji, welcome."

Liu Cong arched his hand and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, you are very polite!"

Liu Xiu then said, "Mr. Ji Bo, you are very polite!"

With a smile, Cai Mao pointed to Liu Cong and said, "my Lord asked Mr. Cong to join me in this meeting. Excuse me, I can't accompany brother Ji. Please go up to the second floor to enjoy the lotus

"Well, you can be busy."

Yi Ji nodded to Liu Cong, glanced at Liu Xiu and went straight into Lianxiang building.

Liu Cong looked sinister and said, "didn't you hear what I said just now? I told you not to talk at will. "

Liu Xiu said: "second brother, I'm not polite. It doesn't matter if the other party doesn't recognize me. However, once the other party recognizes me and sees me standing numbly, I'm afraid they will think that my father's teaching is useless, so I have to salute. I won't talk if the other person doesn't ask. "Liu Cong said in a cold voice: "you do it yourself!"

Liu xiudao: "second brother, don't worry. I know what to do."

Cai Mao's eyes toward Liu Xiu gradually became dignified.

Judging from the simple conversation just now, Cai Mao felt that Liu Xiu was very mature and steady, and he didn't have the impetuous arrogance of young people. His words were neither humble nor overbearing, and even made people feel difficult to grasp.

"Here comes Mr. Kuai Liang!"

"Here comes Mr. Kuai Yue!"

Loud voice, one after another.

Cai Mao led Liu Cong and Liu Xiu to meet them in person. Then, he repeated that Liu Biao arranged for him and Liu Cong to receive them. Liu Xiu followed suit and said nothing else.

Liu Xiu understood that Cai Mao deliberately deepened Liu Cong's position in the hearts of the public.

In succession, Jingzhou civil servants, as well as the scholars who attended the meeting, arrived one after another.

Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Meng Gongwei and others also came to Lianxiang building. When Liu Xiu saw the people, he was really excited for a while, and then recovered his peace.

These people are talented people.

However, no one knew him. Liu Xiu just saw him one by one and didn't talk to him.

More and more people came. Some people Liu Xiu knew, others Liu Xiu didn't. Liu Xiu took heart and wrote down the names of the people one by one. The other party doesn't know Liu Xiu. It doesn't matter. Liu Xiu can always find a place to write down the name of the other party.

Most of them have arrived.

Cai Mao thought for a while, and said, "there are also Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan."

"Mr. pound is here!"

"Mr. Sima Hui is here!"

"Mr. Huang Chengyan is here!"

Loud singing, one after another.

Cai Mao's face was serious. He stretched out his hand to straighten up his wrinkled clothes and said, "Mr. Cong, this is the most important person. Follow me and deal with it carefully." Cai Mao attached great importance to the three men. Pang Degong had a great influence among Jingzhou scholars. If Liu Cong was praised and favored by them, it would be of great help for Liu Cong to take over Jingzhou.

Soon, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui came together. Three people are Bo collar shirt, neatly dressed, walk between the belt when the wind, elegant extraordinary, heart breaking.

Cai Mao took the initiative to greet him, saluted and said, "three gentlemen, I've worked hard all the way."

Liu Cong said, "I've met three gentlemen!"

Liu Xiu said, "I've met three gentlemen!"

In the face of the three, Liu Xiu felt a little excited and calm.

Cai Maobai pointed to Liu Cong and said, "Mr. three, this is Mr. Cong. This time Jingzhou culture meeting, Zhou Mu asked Cong Gongzi and I to come to meet. "

With a smile on his face, Liu Cong saluted with respect.

Pound's three people began to praise each other, but they were all cliches and didn't make much sense. Immediately, Pound's eyes fell on Liu Xiu and asked, "De Li, who is this?"

Cai Mao's heart thumped. How did Pang Degong ask Liu Xiu.
