The carriage stopped at the gate of the Cai family. After Liu Xiu got out of the carriage, he came to the gate and let the porter pass. After a while, the porter came out and said, "Mr. Xiu, please wait in the hall."

Liu Xiu nodded his thanks and stepped into CAI's house.

Compared with the Kuai family, the Cai family residence is magnificent and magnificent.

In the late Han Dynasty, the Xunzi family in Yingchuan, North China, was famous for its glory. Xun Shu's eight sons, known as Xun's eight dragons. Under the eight dragons of the Xun family, there are many talented people, such as Xun Yu, Xun you and Xun Xun Xun, who are the glory of the family.

In the north, the Xunzi family's fame was the same.

However, in the south, the reputation of the Cai family is absolutely superior to that of other ethnic groups.

Cai Mao's father, Cai Xi, is famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Cai Xi's younger sister married Taiwei Zhang Wen, Cai Xi's eldest daughter married Huang Chengyan, and Cai Xi's youngest daughter married Liu Biao.

Cai Zan, the nephew of CAI Xi, was the Prime Minister of Yan; Cai Yan, the nephew, was the prefect of Bajun.

Cai Mao himself was Liu Biao's military adviser.

The rest of the CAI clan also held important positions and were highly valued.

There is a large family of CAI in Jiangnan.

Even though the Kuai family is well-established in Jingzhou, it is still a bit lower than the Cai family. It is precisely for this reason that the Kuai family did not choose Liu Cong, but Liu Xiu, with the intention of replacing the Cai family.

When Liu Xiu came to the hall, Cai maoduan sat right above him, looking serious.

When Cai Mao saw Liu Xiu, he admired him, but he was afraid. The boy in front of him, in a short time, has gone beyond his control. After he went to you County, it is not easy to control.

"Dear Liu Xiu, I'd like to meet Mr. de Li."

Liu Xiu bowed to the ceremony with a calm and unassuming manner.

Cai Mao's words were very stiff, and he said slowly, "xiugongzi has nothing to do but go to the three treasures hall. I don't know what's the matter with xiugongzi's visit?"

Liu xiudao: "I'm leaving Xiangyang County for a special visit."

"In what capacity are you visiting?" Cai Mao asked

Liu Xiu said: "naturally, I visit as a younger generation."

Cai Mao snorted and said, "I'm afraid Cai Mao can't afford to be a junior like you."

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "on the one hand, my mother is my husband's second sister; on the other hand, I know everything about me and Yueying. In the future, Mr. de Li will be my uncle. "

In a word, Cai Mao was shocked.

All the time, he has been on the side of Liu Cong, on the one hand because of the Cai family, on the other hand because Liu Cong married the daughter of the Cai family. Now I suddenly find that Liu Xiu is also a member of the Cai family.

Huang Yueying is sister Cai Mao's daughter. He is Huang Yueying's uncle and Liu Xiu's uncle.

The corner of CAI Mao's mouth twitched and he was in a state of confusion for a moment. Because Liu Cong and Liu Xiu are both members of the Cai family. Although Liu Cong is closer to the Cai family, Liu Xiu has outstanding ability and is also good.

Suddenly, Cai Mao thought of finding someone to assassinate Liu Xiu.

After this incident, he and Liu Xiu formed a natural hostile position. In particular, Liu Cong is different from Liu Xiu. Liu Cong is easy to control, but Liu Xiu is impossible to control.

After weighing, Cai Mao had made a decision in his mind.

Cai Mao smile, light way: "repair childe has not married with Yue Ying, things are not settled, wait until after marriage." In a word, Cai Mao has already expressed his attitude.

Obviously, Cai Mao stood on the side of Liu Cong and opposed Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said: "Mr. de Li's words are reasonable. Until the end, there will be no conclusion. Just as Mr. de Li's current choice may change in the future, it is also uncertain. "

The hidden meaning in the words is that Cai Mao will support Liu Xiu in the future.

Cai Mao said: "the self-confidence of Mr. Xiu is admirable, but the reality is very cruel."

When they talked, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.

"Step on it! Step on it

The sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall, and the housekeeper came in in a hurry.

The housekeeper came to Cai Mao's body and bowed, "master, the old master wants to see xiugongzi." The old master of the Cai family is not someone else, but Cai's satire. Cai Shao is in his early sixties, approaching the age of the rare.

On weekdays, Cai satire has no longer interfered in the affairs of the Cai family, leaving everything to Cai Mao. But now he suddenly wanted to see Liu Xiu. This situation caught Cai Mao off guard.

"What's the matter?"

Cai Mao's eyes were cold and his smile disappeared. Instead, he was gloomy and cold.

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know who told the news to the master."

Cai Mao narrowed his eyes. After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "I know. Later, I will take Liu Xiu with me."

"Yes

The housekeeper nodded and then stepped down.

Cai Mao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Xiu is really a good tool. My father has not asked about the world for a long time, and now he is shocked by you. Is this a way to get my father's support? "Liu Xiu had some doubts. After a little thought, he reacted.

Cai Ji wants to see him!

Unexpectedly, Cai Xi took the initiative to meet him.

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "the Cai family is Mr. de Li's Cai family. How can I deliver the news to Mr. Cai?". It can only be said that although old Cai is not in charge, it does not mean that he does not know what happened in CAI's house. Mr. de Li should now consider what you have done and what has passed to Mr. Cai. "

Cai Mao frowned tightly, brushed his sleeve and said, "I'm not afraid of the shadow slanting. There's nothing to worry about. Mr. Xiu, let's go and follow me to see my father. "

Immediately, Cai Mao got up and took Liu Xiu to the place where Cai Xi lived.

Liu Xiu followed and said nothing.

From the conversation just now, Liu Xiu already knew that Cai Mao chose Liu Cong with a clear-cut banner. At this time, it is meaningless to make friends with CAI Mao again. The only surprise is that Cai Xi, the old master of the Cai family, knew that he was coming.

This is a surprise.

They came to the backyard and went to the northernmost yard.

This courtyard is full of trees, flowers and plants, and has a large agricultural land. At this time, an old man in coarse linen, with gray hair and thin figure, was squatting in the ground weeding.

This old man is exactly Cai Xi.

Cai Mao went in with Liu Xiu and said, "father."

Liu Xiu saluted and said, "little Liu Xiu, I've met Mr. Cai."

Cai Xi stops. He looks up at Liu Xiu. His turbid eyes seem to be sharp and penetrating.

Liu Xiu's face was calm and he looked neither humble nor overbearing.

Cai sarcastically nodded, laughed and said, "I heard that you and Yueying have a special relationship. Has Huang Chengyan recognized you?"

Liu Xiu said, "thank you for your appreciation."

Cai laughs and says, "Huang Chengyan's vision is good. Well, it's very good." With these words, Cai took a look at Cai Mao intentionally or unintentionally, and said with emotion: "not like some people, with eyes but without eyes."

Cai Mao's mouth twitched and said nothing.

"I'm tired. Go out."

Cai said a few words, but he didn't want to talk any more.

Cai Mao was relieved and said, "please take care of your father, and my son will leave."

Liu xiudao: "I'm leaving."

Cai Shao waved his hand. Cai Mao and Liu Xiu left the yard one after another. Back in the hall, Cai Mao looked at Liu Xiu with a gloomy face and said, "young master Xiu, are you proud?"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm not proud, and I'm not proud."

Cai Mao said, "if there is nothing else, please go back. I have something important to deal with."

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "goodbye!"

When he saw Cai's satire, the news will surely make waves in CAI's family. This is enough for Liu Xiu. With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu strode away from Cai Fu.
