Tang Hong was a little timid to see the courtyard of Lu Zai's house.

When he had not yet arrived in Bianjing, his world friend Lu Zai was still a transit envoy on the Gyeonggi Road.

As a result, when he arrived in Bianjing, Lu Zai became a member of the Zhongshu House and the director of the transfer!

Responsible for the turnover of grain and grass and the dispatch of materials throughout the country, especially the dispatch of transportation capacity, which is also managed by Lu Zai.

The good guy suddenly changed from a secretary to a public, and the threshold looked a little higher.

This made Tang Hong a little uneasy, Lu Zai still didn't admit his own family business, and he still didn't recognize his friends in this world.

Tang Hong hesitated outside the door, and was looked at by the porter.

These days, since the news that Lu Zai is going to be promoted, the threshold of Lu Zai's house is about to be broken!

The concierge also saw the transformation of the Great Song Dynasty's version of the door bird Keluo to the door of the city.

When Lu Zai received Zhao Huan's order to transport grain and grass, the Jin soldiers came to the city, and Lu Zai sneaked out of the city and went to Yingtianfu.

Lu Zai was in Yingtianfu and transported grain and grass from the south.

He also kept contacting many transshipment directors on Hedong Road, asking them to supply the Great Song Dynasty with grain and grass to support Taiyuan.

At that time, the Lu family did not have any relatives and friends to visit, there were sparrows in front of the door, and the porter couldn't finish it.

Now that the official family has won, Lu Zai's power has risen, and now the ugly daughter-in-law has finally become a mother-in-law, and there is hope for being promoted to the throne.

There are more and more relatives and friends visiting this time, and there are more and more aunts.

The Lu family has also recently refused to receive a group of so-called relatives and friends, all of whom are pretending to be relatives or simply unable to beat them, and they have all been rejected by the porter.

Tang Hong wandered in front of Lu Zai's door, the porter sighed, stood up, and went out to greet the guests.

"This gentleman, when he stopped in front of the door of the Lu Mansion for a long time, he didn't come forward to knock on the door, and he didn't leave, why did he leave?" The porter said in a crepe manner, with a hint of arrogance in his words.

Among the people visited, there were still some of Lu Zai's former classmates and friends, who saw that Lu Zai was now developed, and wanted to visit Lu Zai, but they couldn't save face.

After lingering for a long time, some threw down their faces and stepped forward to knock on the door, while others couldn't wipe their faces and continued to stop in front of the door.

Tang Hong's appearance is exactly the same as those people.

The high-spirited appearance of the porter made Tang Hong a little angry, but now that he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head.

He said with a smile: "A certain is Tang Hong, who was sentenced by Zhengzhou and came to visit the world. Please also convey it. ”

The porter looked left and right, took two steps forward, rubbed his fingers, and said with a smile: "Bring it." ”

Tang Hong was stunned for a moment, he understood this gesture, his eyes were full of shock, had he become like this when he got Lu Zai? Holding on to the last shred of hope, he asked, "Do you mean tokens?" ”

"Nonsense! Entrance fee! The porter's face changed abruptly, and he said angrily.

The concierge has been collecting door fees for a long time.

Most of these people who came to visit were down-and-out people, few high-ranking officials and dignitaries, few people who could be on an equal footing with Lu Zai, and many people were also afraid of Lu Zai's power after being blackmailed, and they dared not speak out.

There are also some people who think that Lu Zai deliberately made the porter charge, so they didn't mention it.

At the beginning, the porter was cautious to collect the points, but later found that no one reported him, and he became more and more unscrupulous.

It's been like this for a while, and the porter even has money and went to Fanlou to drink flower wine twice.

He was about to buy a house outside the city, and he fell in love with the daughter of the tofu seller at Xijiekou, and was ready to pack up the house and go to propose marriage.

So during this time, in order to raise money, he collected more and more ruthlessly.

On the contrary, it blocked a group of shy and down-and-out people.

The porter is a clever worker, he likes to observe words and looks, the kind of person who looks like a cynical person, and the porter is not willing to provoke, for fear that they will sue Lu Zai, or tease a few words, and this good errand will be lost.

Even if he didn't see Lu Zai, he spread the word everywhere and made it known to everyone, and he lost his money.

He specifically looked for that kind of down-and-out middle-aged man.

When people are middle-aged, they can't even afford an entry fee, and they are obviously people who have no ability and are unwilling to pull down their children to make a living.

These people don't talk nonsense, they live in order to make a living, and they don't have much to offer, they always have the dream of helping the country and guiding the country in the court, but they survive in the cracks of the world.

Such a down-and-out middle-aged man is the target of extortion by the porter, and once he blackmails him, he has not had much trouble.

Life is not easy, there are doorways everywhere, and there is learning everywhere.

The porter's face was evil, his eyes were full of ferocity, and he pressed forward slightly oppressively, forcing Tang Hong to make a choice.

Basically, at this stage, they will pay for it, or throw their sleeves and leave.

Give the money and naturally go back to the court, if the lord can't see him, that's the master's business.

Normally, Master Lu Zai Lu would politely refuse, saying that he had received a greeting watch, and said that he would visit him another day.

This visit on another day is completely a polite word in a polite conversation.

Occasionally, a few people will be brought into the side room to meet, and if they don't talk a few words, they will let the porter see off the guests.

If this person who came to the door didn't give money and threw his sleeves away, it would naturally be better.

When the old man was down, he followed the ghosts one by one, but now he licks his face and goes to the door, what are you going to do earlier!

Disgusting lord is coming? The porter gave himself a high-sounding reason to do these things.

"How much!" Tang Hong asked angrily.

He didn't believe that Lu Jae had become like this.

Over the years, they have not stopped correspondence, and Lu Zai's replies to his letters are very timely.

Moreover, Lu Zai has been transporting grain and grass in the past two years, and the Tang family in Shanyin has not contributed less.

Their own family alone got 30,000 stone of grain and grass, and transported it to the Jinzhong front line on Hedong Road at their own expense.

Later, the official family Pingzhou asked for grain, and his family gathered 10,000 stones, and went to Pingzhou with the Chen family's boat.

Later, when he opened and released people to ask for food, he also collected 2,000 stones.

Lu Zai also wrote three times to express his gratitude, and also gave the official family a note, saying that the Tang family had made a contribution.

Tang Hong was able to be transferred from Tongju to Jingguan, which can be regarded as being stained with Lu Zai's light, but he also won it by himself.

Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult.

The Great Song Emperors were not so difficult to deal with!

As long as they donate money and food to the front-line soldiers, the officials will remember their good in their hearts, and they have also issued an edict to commend them.

As a result, a small porter stumped himself.

The porter held out a finger and shook it, a disdainful smile on his face.

Usually such a down-and-out person can't get the price he wants, and then he gets out of the way.

"A hundred bucks?" Tang Hong asked tentatively.

When the porter heard this question, he directly raised his head, and said in a sullen voice with his nose: "Cut, poor ghost." It's a silver dollar. are all poor like this, and they tend to be inflammatory? ”

Tang Hong's face changed several times, gritting his teeth but helpless.

He hesitated for a long time, did he take out 2,000 stone of grain to support the official family to switch and release people, and took out less?

So Lu Jae is not satisfied?

However, he hesitated, but he still took out a money bag from his bosom and opened it, opened it carefully layer by layer, took out the consistent money from it, and said: "One silver dollar consistent money!" Here you are! ”

The porter didn't answer, just looked at Tang Hong so directly.

The disdain in the porter's eyes became more and more prevalent, and he said with a smile: "This big official, now a silver dollar can be exchanged for a consistent iron coin and a half, don't you know?" Ha ha! ”

Of course, Tang Hong knew that he could change it for a consistent half, but he really couldn't come up with a consistent half of the money.

Tang Hong looked at the phoenix hairpin in his hand, hesitated slightly, and handed the phoenix hairpin to the porter with a little reluctance, and said, "This, made of pure gold, weighs about seven taels." ”

"There are also five jadeite inlays, which are definitely worth more than a silver dollar, so you can go and pass it."

The porter picked up the phoenix hairpin and looked at it carefully for a moment, based on the items he received during this time, this phoenix hairpin was definitely worth ten silver dollars!

"Why is it only half?" The porter muttered, but they all had to be exchanged for money, half of which was half.

His fierce expression instantly turned into a smile, and he said: "Give me the table of the big official, and I will go to give the official a gift." If this Master Lu is gone, I won't recruit him, and this official will know. ”

The porter accepted the table and the phoenix hairpin and entered the Lu family's mansion.

After a while, Lu Zai only wore half of his shoes, rushed out of the courtyard gate in a hurry, and after seeing Tang Hong, he pounced on him, and said happily: "Brother Tang! You and I haven't seen each other in years! ”

"If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't come home!"

"It's finally waiting for you! I have always wanted to thank you face-to-face, but I didn't have a chance, the case is tiring, and you have been in officialdom for a long time, so you naturally understand this truth. I won't blame him for not coming to the door to thank you. ”

Tang Hong was also overjoyed when he saw Lu Zai, knowing that his worries were all in vain.

This Lu Zai is still the same Lu Zai with one intestine.

Tang Hong was also happy, he had completely forgotten the embarrassment of being embarrassed by the porter just now.

He saw Lu Zai's appearance and knew that Lu Zai was still the Lu Zai he knew, and that was enough.

He looked Lu Zai up and down, and said again and again: "The official family's errand is important!" The official's errand is important! The war in the north is going well, that is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Fu Jun has lost a lot of weight, it seems that you have wasted a lot of effort on the errand of the official family."

Lu Zai laughed twice and said: "We are also our own people, so we won't tell lies, the official family is in the north, but I don't have to toss it!" These two years have really been more than I have done in the previous 20 years! Aren't you tired? ”

"However, the hard work is worth it."

"The officials have even stood firm in the Hetao, and there is another set, I heard that it is stalemate! But it's also fast, the golden-winged Dapeng Yue Pengju, in the back set to clean up the Xixia people, is that not a clean up? In less than half a month, it is estimated that the good news will come! ”

Lu Zai patted his head and said: "You see that I am happy to patronize, just standing at this door and talking, where is this a bit of hospitality, come in the door, come in the door!" ”

Tang Hong stretched out his hand and paused in the air several times, and said excitedly: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." ”

"I also heard about the Golden-winged Dapeng Yue Pengju! is really the first warrior of the Great Song Dynasty! Di Gong is reincarnated! ”

"It's amazing, I heard that he is still fighting the Tiele Warriors in Zhenzhou and winning the title of the first warrior in the world? Amazing! I've always wanted to meet, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance. ”

Lu Zai said: "It's not just you, how many girls in Bianjing are looking forward to it, waiting for General Yue to return to Beijing again, I heard that General Yue is now alone, I don't know how many girls have thoughts." Walk, walk, walk, talk as you go. ”

Lu Zai's brows furrowed as he spoke, looked at Tang Hong and said, "I said Brother Tang, the descendants of the Tang family in Shanyin, how did you get this appearance?" It's also too ......."

"Shabby, huh?" Tang Hong had a smile on his face, and he answered the conversation nonchalantly.

Lu Zai happily passed, only to notice Tang Hong's dress, the hem on his body, there were a few patches in the inconspicuous places, the shoes looked like they had been worn for a few months, and the threads on the soles were all open.

The placket on the body is also clean, and even the red ornaments on the shoulders are faded.

Is this still that he knows the suave Tang Hong?

You must know that the Tang family in Sanyin is a wealthy family.

The woolen coat that is popular at the moment, Tang Hong doesn't have it on him, it's really weird.

Tang Hong said with a look of loss on his face: "Don't hide it from Brother Fu Jun, the Tang family in Shanyin is ruined." ”

"There was Fang La's trouble, and then there was Emperor Nan Xing, who asked us to donate money and food, and the emperor left, and Zhao Gou came again, and made us donate."

"Later, when Fan Ruwei came, the gang broke into my house and said that they would take out the grain in the warehouse and divide it."

"And guess what?"

"Fan Ruwei's people didn't find a single hair, but in the end, Fan Ruwei watched our warehouse run mice, afraid that our family would starve to death, so he sent half a year's worth of food. Haha, don't you say it's funny?! Tang Hong laughed, and when he thought of this, he was happy.

Fan Ruwei broke into the house with a fierce look and went out in a daze.

In the end, not only did I not find food, but I sent a lot of it!

It's just that Lu Zai swallowed his throat with some difficulty, and said, "Brother Tang, the 30,000 stones sent to Hedong Road and the 20,000 stones in Pingzhou ......"

Tang Hong said nonchalantly: "At that time, it was still wide, small things, small things, there are eggs under the nest, I read a lot of books, but I didn't read my brain stupidly." ”

Lu Zai pressed his hand on his face hard, took a hard breath to stabilize his emotions, and said: "A few days ago, I went to Zhejiang Road and transferred to Yanjing to give the official a letter to open and release Han'er into the customs. The two thousand stone grain you gave out..."

Tang Hong looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I sold my family's old house and made up a little." You know that the yard of my house, one step and one scene, three steps and one pavilion, and five steps make people linger, tsk, there are more people who are greedy. ”

"Don't talk about it, as soon as you say it, you will say that I am the Tang family in Shanyin, and I am famous and famous."

"Not really." Lu Zai blinked, sighed and said vigorously.

Tang Hong patted Lu Zai and said, "Then you are in a hurry, the official is in a hurry, what can I do?" The Chen family is considered a wealthy and noble family, isn't it the same as selling property and making food for the official family? It's all the same. ”

"Money, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death. There's no way to regenerate. ”

"And even when I get to the underworld, I am not afraid to see my ancestors and ancestors, and they can't scold me for being a loser. Okay, it's not a big deal, didn't it all get through? It's all gone. ”

Lu Zai nodded vigorously, everything is over, everything will slowly get better.

He smiled and said: "Let's go, I asked my wife to prepare a table of good wine, and when I leave for a while, bring some back to my sister-in-law, I still have some money in my house, you take it first, this can't be polite, you can't shirk it." ”

"Then you know that I am a person, I have everything, but I have no face and no skin. Especially to you, I won't be polite, later, I can take as much as I can, and take you poor! Tang Hong laughed and followed Lu Zai into the door.

The gatehouse, whose face was like ashes, kept twisting his head and watched Lu Zai and Tang Hong enter the hall.

With every conversation just now, the porter's face turned gray until his face was like dead ash.

"Ouch, my neck!" A scream came from the porter, who had been watching the two of them just now, their bodies not moving, their bare heads moving, and they accidentally twisted their necks.

He crouched on the ground with his neck clutched, muttering repeatedly, "It's over, it's over." It's completely over now, what a house in the suburbs of Beijing, what a girl who sells tofu in Xijiekou, it's gone! ”
