The old housekeeper led Wang Bo to stand in front of the main hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sir, the master is inside, so I won't go in." The old butler bowed slightly, and then retreated.
After the old housekeeper stepped back, Wang Bo tidied up his clothes slightly, walked into the main hall, and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”
Lu Wen sat on the main seat, with a straight face, and he couldn't see whether he was in a good or bad mood, but when Wang Bo came in, he said: "There is no Brother Lao Wang to worry about, Wen is not dead yet." There was a hint of resentment in the language.
"Eh, haha" Wang Bo smiled awkwardly, walked to the position next to Lu Wen and sat down, and then said, "Brother Lu has also begun to learn to be funny." ”
"Hmph." Lu Wen didn't speak, just snorted coldly.
He was invited by Wang Bo to come all the way to settle in Pei County, but he didn't want to meet bandits on the boundary of this Pei County.
"Brother Lu is angry, and he blames Bo for his lack of governance, which led to rampant bandits under his rule and almost ruined Brother Lu's life." Wang Bo said apologetically, then took out a roll of bamboo slips from his cuffs, put it on the table between the two, and patted the bamboo slips lightly and said, "Talk about your heart, and I hope that Duke Lu will forgive Bo." ”
"No merit is not rewarded." Lu Wen refused, in his mind, what was written in this bamboo slip was nothing more than some financial gifts, and he didn't want to be polluted by the smell of copper.
Lu Wen's character Wang Bo understands, since he doesn't look at it, even if he says more, Lu Wen won't go to see the bamboo slips.
After thinking for a while, Wang Bo opened the bamboo slip and read: "On the first day of the ninth month, Pei County suppressed thirty-two bandits in the east thirty miles, and twenty-six miles in the west...... On the fifth day of the first month of September, 15 fugitives were arrested, and the bandits in Pei County recovered. ”
Today is the sixth day of the ninth month, that is to say, Xiao He to yesterday, a total of five days, exterminated all the bandits and robbers in Pei County, which is also the confidence of Wang Bo to dare to come to see Lu Wen.
"Hmph."
It's good that Wang Bo didn't read it, but this thought made Lu Wen even more angry, and he couldn't help but snort heavily.
Exterminating the bandits and robbers in Pei County is, in the final analysis, to make Lu Wen angry, but why Lu Wen reacted like this made Wang Bo a little baffled, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Lu thinks there is something wrong?" ”
"Extermination, your banditry has been eradicated, why was the little girl almost killed yesterday." Lu Wen pointed his finger at Wang Bo and asked, the trembling fingers were almost about to poke Wang Bo's face, you can imagine how angry Lu Wen was.
Hearing this, Wang Bo's face changed a few times, he was annoyed by Lu Wen's rude behavior, and he was also annoyed that Lu Wen's little girl was almost killed, but in the end, he suppressed this anger, but he couldn't ruin the relationship between the two because of this little thing.
Raising his hand and slowly pressing down Lu Wen's hand, Wang Bo said slowly: "This matter is Bo's negligence. Although Xiao He is doing everything, it is he who authorizes it, and he is naturally responsible for mistakes.
"A few days ago, I heard that Brother Lu was going to set up a school, and he still had some money left, so I will make up for it." Wang Bo promised.
This money is said to be a school, but it also helped Lu Wen a lot, and at the same time, although Lu Su was almost killed, it was also almost, not really killed, at this time Wang Bo expressed such sincerity, and he couldn't hold on to the shelf.
Thinking of this, he nodded in response: "Thank you." ”
In fact, there is another reason why Lu Wen should come down and settle in this Pei County, and he will have to rely on Wang Bo's protection in the future, so naturally he can't stiffen the relationship, although Lu Wen is a Confucian, but he is not corrupt.
With Lu Wenying, the atmosphere on the scene eased a lot, and Wang Bo deliberately found a topic, but the two chatted slowly, and also let go of the previous gap.
It was past the afternoon, Wang Bo had already left the Lu Mansion and returned to the county office, and it was time for Yi Xiaochuan to work.
One side is placed on the side of the entrance of the Lu Mansion, with pen, ink, inkstone, bamboo slips, and a subordinate of the Lu Mansion holding the seat price table standing aside.
In the past two days, except for some Peixian celebrities who bought seats at the beginning, only a few people bought seats later.
There was nothing to do, Yi Xiaochuan put his chin on his hand and squinted.
At this time, Lin Li led Liu Bang to Yi Xiaochuan, Lin Li knocked on the low table, and made a "do-do-do" sound.
"Childe, look at this ......" Yi Xiaochuan, who was awakened, hurriedly pointed to the picture scroll and explained, but it was only halfway through the words that he realized that the two knew each other.
Yi Xiaochuan looked at Lin Li, then at Liu Bang, and then said with a smile: "Why are the two of you here, is it ...... Missed me? ”
If it weren't for Liu Bang still watching, Yi Xiaochuan really wanted to pull Lin Li's clothes and ask him why he had to slip away alone that day.
"yes, I'm looking for you to drink." Lin Li replied with a smile.
"Brother Yi, are you a student of Lu Gong's ......, En?" Liu Bang asked curiously on the side, originally he wanted to ask Yi Xiaochuan if he was from the Lu Mansion, but after looking at Yi Xiaochuan's clothes and temperament, he denied this question.
"No, I'm just staying at Gong Lu's house temporarily." Yi Xiaochuan thought for a while and replied.
"What? Don't you have enough money to run a school? Lin Li asked from the side.
"No, it's expensive to open a school." Yi Xiaochuan replied as a matter of course.
Lin Li nodded to show that he understood, then took out a bag of money from his waist and handed it to Yi Xiaochuan and said, "This is the money for the seat." After a pause, he explained: "My eldest brother also wants to go in and gain knowledge, Xiaochuan, you can arrange his seat next to me." ”
"You take this money back, the eldest brother wants to go in, in a word, what are you polite to your own people." As he spoke, Yi Xiaochuan stuffed the money bag back, and then wrote down Liu Bang's information on the bamboo slip.
"How can this be done, there are no rules." Lin Li put the money bag back in front of Yi Xiaochuan again.
Looking at Yi Xiaochuan, who was still about to push the money bag back, Lin Li pretended to be displeased and said, "If you are like this again, then I don't have to participate in this banquet." ”
"Okay, I'll take the money, and I'll invite you two to drink another day." Yi Xiaochuan promised.
"It's easy to say, let's get drunk and rest." Without waiting for Lin Li to speak, Liu Bang responded in one bite.
Yi Xiaochuan's personality is a bit like Liu Bang's, Yi Xiaochuan treats them as friends, and of course he has to repay them as friends.
"Well, you can find a free time to pick up the bar at my house in the next few days, and I will leave for a while in a few days." Lin Li thought for a while and said.
Hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, but he learned from Fan Hao that Lin Li had a lot of good wine, and he couldn't help but say happily: "That's a good dare." ”
Yi Xiaochuan has been very busy in the past few days, although there are not many people to "donate", but he has to plan the entire banquet, so naturally he doesn't have so much time to go to Lin Li for wine, but now it seems that he has to go to Lin Li quickly, otherwise if he leaves, who will Yi Xiaochuan go to ask for wine.
"Then I won't bother." Lin Li said goodbye, according to the original book, there will be a lot of people to "donate" in a while, and he doesn't want to be pulled by Yi Xiaochuan to work as a coolie when the time comes.
"Mm-hmm, goodbye." Yi Xiaochuan replied with a smile, happy about the good wine he was about to get, completely unaware that he would be surrounded by crowds in a while.
