In Fanshi, Han Dong sat on the restaurant, leaning on the railing, tasting fruit wine, looking at the guests coming and going in the market with a smile, but his ears were listening to the chatter of the guests at several tables behind him.

The men sighed and whispered, occasionally drifting a few words: messenger, alliance, enthronement, interspersed with sighs.

Han Dong was in a good mood, drank all the wine in the cup, and reached out to take the glass wine bottle on the case, ready to drink the last glass of wine.

A hand reached over and pressed Han Dong.

Han Dong chuckled in his heart, his breath stagnated, and his body tensed.

"Relax!" The person who came handed a look, just right to block Han Dong, and took a seat opposite, it was Liu Chen. Han Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around quietly. "Brother Liu's recent progress has been rapid, which is gratifying."

"It's not that I'm making fast progress, it's that you're drunk." Liu Chen sneered: "This wine doesn't seem to be strong, but it has enough stamina, don't be greedy." ”

Han Dong grinned. "I heard that the female official Wu you hooked up with has been reinstated, and I haven't congratulated you yet. I said, you don't want to settle down in Wu Guo's family, do you? ”

Liu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. "I'm acting on orders, don't guess." He raised his hand to interrupt Han Dong. "I don't have time to talk to you, if there is any news, hurry up."

"It's fine. There is news from Luoyang that the bereavement benefits of the imperial court have been issued to the brothers who died. As long as Sun Quan can't ascend the throne this year, a few of you can leave the scholarly register. However, there is not so good news that you should warn the townsfolk to pay attention to. ”

"What's the news?"

"The sheep are missing."

Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who Yang Wei was, and he was immediately shocked. "How did he run away? Isn't it a school prison? ”

"How did you run, it's still being investigated. According to the preliminary analysis, it is likely that the Relief Camp should have done it in Luoyang. The imperial court has issued an edict ordering all the departments along the river to strictly investigate and try to stop him in the north of the river. But you have to be prepared to evacuate at any time. Especially you, you've seen sheep. ”

Liu Chen nodded, his face was a little unpleasant.

The two talked a few more words, and Liu Chen got up to leave. Han Dong looked at the remnants of the wine in the glass wine bottle, smacked his lips, put down the wine glass, called a wine waiter orchid, asked the price of the glass wine bottle, threw down a handful of money, picked up the wine bottle, wrapped it with snacks that had not eaten too much, and went downstairs.

A scholar who was about thirty years old passed by Han Dong, and when he saw the glass wine bottle that Han Dong was sandwiched under his armpit, he couldn't help but glance at Han Dong more. Han Dong turned sideways with a smile and asked the reader to go first. The reader nodded in greeting, slowly went upstairs, turned his head sideways, watched Han Dong go downstairs, turned around and looked, and walked straight to where Han Dong was sitting just now.

The waiter was wiping the table, and the scholar took his seat, glanced downstairs again, pointed to Han Dong's back and said, "Isn't that the person who was sitting here just now?" ”

The waiter glanced at it, accompanied by a smiling face. "Lu Jun has good eyesight, it's him."

"Does he come often?"

"I don't come very often, I only come once a month, drink some wine, eat something, and sit for half a day."

"Take the rest of the wine back with you every time? I remember that you didn't sell glass bottles in your liquor store. ”

The smile on the waiter's face was even brighter, and his hand subconsciously covered his waist. "It's also the first time for him, and he used to drink it before leaving. Bottles are not for sale, but they can be taken out for a short period of time as long as you pay a deposit. ”

The scholar smiled, didn't say anything more, asked for wine and a few things to eat, and poured himself a drink.

Liu Chen sat far away, talking and laughing with Zhu Ying in a low voice, and looked at the reader. Zhu Ying found that his eyes were wrong, and looked back, a little unhappy. "You know him?"

"I don't know each other, but somehow, it's familiar." Liu Chen touched his chin, his eyes puzzled. "Who is he?"

"The general of the auxiliary country joined the army, his surname is Lu, I forgot what it was called." Zhu Ying frowned. "Strange, how could he be here?"

Liu Chen didn't say anything, drank two glasses with Zhu Ying, and went downstairs. The two of them went around the market twice and bought some rouge gouache. In front of a store selling jewelry, Zhu Ying was attracted by the dazzling array of jewelry and couldn't move her steps. Seeing this, a young orchid greeted him obediently and enthusiastically introduced the new goods.

Zhu Ying asked a few words, a little embarrassed. The thing is a good thing, and she does like it, but it is worth a lot of money, and it is not something she can bear, and she was about to leave in pain, Liu Chen said: "Buy two, I'll give it to you." ”

"Really?" Zhu Ying was surprised and delighted. has been with Liu Chen for so long, she has always taken the initiative, Liu Chen is always like leaving, sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes indifferent, and never took the initiative to buy her something. Today is really rare, maybe it has something to do with her official reinstatement.

Liu Chen took out a small gold cake from his arms and threw it in his hand. "Is it enough?"

Hu Ji smiled and said continuously: "Madam, you are really blessed to have such a considerate and generous husband." Not only is he willing to accompany you to buy jewelry, but he is also willing to spend money. ”

Zhu Ying's heart bloomed and glanced at Liu Chen. Liu Chen said to Hu Ji: "Listen to your accent, have you been to Luoyang?" ”

Orchid nodded repeatedly. "The general has good ears, I have lived in Luoyang for two years. The general is also from Luoyang? ”

"Yes, I just escaped from Luoyang last year. Since they were all from Luoyang, they can be regarded as half of the township party, so they are discounted, right? ”

Orchid covered her lips and smiled. "I'll give the general a nine-percent discount today, and I hope the general will take care of my family's business more in the future. I dare not say anything else, my family's jewelry craftsmanship is good, and the materials are also the most exquisite. Madame go sit inside, and ask Madame to appreciate a few treasures of the town. ”

Zhu Ying was overjoyed, glanced at Liu Chen, and saw that Liu Chen did not object, so he followed Hu Ji in. Liu Chen also followed into the store, but did not go to the inner room, and looked around at random. The shopkeeper greeted him, and between the two of them, Liu Chen whispered a few words.

The shopkeeper blinked and nodded quietly.

Zhu Ying picked out two beautiful pieces of jewelry and spent more than 3,000 yuan, which was equivalent to a month's worth of her money, and she was as happy as a flower girl, and she talked a lot. Liu Chen asked about Lu Xun quietly, and Zhu Ying said a few more words, and was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Xun in his words, saying that Lu Xun's city government was very deep, and he relied on his family background, regarded himself as a Confucian, and had always been disgusted with Mrs. Sun in charge of the Relief Camp.

"I've heard that Wuchang City has been uneasy recently, especially the bandits near Fanshan have not been decided for a long time, and the troops of the camps to relieve the troubles and go around the tent are insufficient, and the king may transfer Lu Xun to supervise Wuchang."

"King Wu trusts Lu Xun so much?"

"Of course, when the king was stationed in Jianye, he specially engraved a seal and left it for Lu Xun. All documents sent to Xishu must be sent to Lu Xun first, and if there is anything wrong, he will revise it himself, and then use it to print and issue it, and there is no need to report it again. ”

"It's really rare for monarchs and ministers to know each other like this." Liu Chen said with emotion.

"." Zhu Ying was dismissive. "These hypocrites talk about morality, and all they think about in their hearts is wealth. Lu Xun has more than 10,000 subordinates, he can be called the first person in the army, and he has the Gu family as an internal response, who dares not to give him face? ”1603382493
