Zhen Sui Duomin's people, as soon as they heard Old Man Lu's words, they knew what he meant, and they happened to coincide with his intentions, so he immediately smiled: "As the old gentleman said, if the Lu clan is made to be a servant and supervise the supply of food, there will naturally be no fraud, and the materials can be continuously supplied to the army?" ”

Lu Hu waved his hand: "I don't dare to say that it is endless, but my Lu clan will be diligent and do my best." ”

Zhen Sui nodded: "The old gentleman has something to invite, sir...... How can I turn away people from a thousand miles away? But I don't know what kind of talented people are in your family who can help me coordinate civil affairs and dispatch grain and materials? ”

The banquet finally got to the point, and Lu Hu ordered his pre-selected children to come over—some of them were seated in the hall—to toast Zhen Sui and introduce them one by one. Of course, the old man is not strong enough to speak for too long, most of them are explained by his sister-in-law, but this is the heir of Lu Hu, and he has no intention of becoming a leader for the time being.

After all, he is the future head of the Lu family, how can he start with seven grades, how can he be a county official? Don't you laugh off other people's big teeth when you say it?

In the mouth of the Lu family, these more than ten children are all familiar with history, literary style, thousands of words in an instant, and the words are full of flowers, some of them also know how to settle accounts, and some people are familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers.

It's a pity that this set is basically ineffective for Zhen Sui, what he hates most in his life is the rural people on this road - especially after being forced to read by Pei Gai - and those few who claim to be able to settle accounts and understand geography, and they can barely let him take a few more looks.

Basically, the talents of these children recommended by the Lu family are all based on their mouths, but Rong Yi is still basically good, they are all in their twenties and forty years old, their clothes are new or old, but they are all neat, and their hair and beard are combed without mess...... But what's worse is that several of them clearly put powder on their faces, which made Zhen Sui look a little sick to his stomach.

As he listened to the introduction, his eyes rolled from side to side, looking at those who had not been elected, and by chance he caught a glimpse of one—alas, this man was interesting.

This person sat in the hall, his status was not low, according to the introduction before the opening of the banquet, he should be a disciple of the side branch of the Lu family, because he had been a county magistrate, so he could be in the hall. But this person kept hanging his head, taking small bites, never spoke, and never made a toast to Zhen Sui.

If it was just that, Zhen Sui wouldn't care, but when he occasionally glanced at it, he saw this person leaning over, as if he was going to shrink under the food table. Zhen Sui couldn't help but stretch his neck, let's see what this person is doing? Only then did I understand that after the person shrunk into the case, his right hand was still holding chopsticks on the case, but his left hand was hanging down on his knee, secretly holding a roll of bamboo slips and reading......

Zhen Sui stretched out his hand and pointed: "This is ......"

Lu Hu glanced at his eyes, and immediately scolded: "Okay, at the banquet, why don't you let go of those books of yours!" ”

Only then did the man know that he was talking about himself, and he couldn't help but shudder slightly, and quickly hid the bamboo slip behind him.

Lu Hu introduced to Zhen Sui: "This is Lu Jing, who was the ...... of Anfu Ling."

There are hundreds of counties in the world, and more than half of Zhen Sui has never even heard of it, but in this Anfu County, he is like thunder. This county is in Ancheng County, which originally belonged to Jingzhou, and was later divided into Jiangzhou, and the distance from Zhen Sui's hometown is not too far.

From this, he couldn't help but be more interested, so he arched his hand: "It turned out to be Lu Ling." ”

Lu Jing hurriedly got up and said: "Don't dare, the grass people have abandoned their posts for a long time......

"Why did you leave your job?"

Lu Jing said with a bitter face: "The mountains in the county caused chaos and were forced to resign......"

Lu Hu gave Lu Jing a straight look - the so-called Shanyi is a barbarian, isn't this General Zhen from the Southern Barbarians? You say "Shanyi creates chaos", isn't that scolding the monk in front of the bald man? It's a pity that Lu Jing is dull by nature and didn't notice it at all.

Zhen Suixiao asked, "I don't know what year you left the job?" ”

"Yongxing two years."

The second year of Yongxing was exactly thirteen years ago, when Liu Yuan was the king of Zuoguocheng, and he had not yet been able to capture Hedong, it is estimated that it was precisely because of this that Lu Jing would abandon his post and come to Pusaka, attached to his own family, if it was a year or two later, he would not dare to run to Hedong again. Zhen Sui secretly calculated, at that time, my family was ruined, wandering all over the world, and two years later, "five horses crossed the river", I threw myself into Director Wang's house...... So the "Shanyi" who drove Lu Jing away really has nothing to do with me.

So he smiled: "Mr. Lu is really studious, even during the banquet, he also reads." ”

Before Lu Jing could answer, someone next to him spoke to help him solve the siege: "The good ancestor once wrote six volumes of "Zilin", with Xu Shen's "Sayings", arranged according to the shape, searching for the elegance of words. The good purpose is also similar to that of the brother, but if you want to catalog it because of the sound and rhyme, don't write a book, but you can't release the book day and night, and even read it secretly at the banquet, if you offend the general, don't ......"

Zhen Sui glared at this person, and said in his heart: Bastard, who are you talking to? Me? How could I understand what you said!

After repeated explanations, I roughly understood the meaning. It turned out that this Lu Jing's family was in Rencheng, and there was an elder brother named Lu Chen, who had been the ancestral order of Sima Wei, the king of Yiyang, and this person was obsessed with studying words, so he imitated the style of Xu Shen's "Shuowen" and compiled a dictionary called "Zilin", which was well received by Shilin. Lu Chen died early, and it is said that the final draft of "Zilin" was done by his brother Lu Jing, but Lu Jing felt that the book was not enough, and he himself was more interested in the pronunciation and rhyme of the words and rhymes for the radicals, so he planned to change the style, use the sound and rhyme to return to the object, retrieve, and make a new book - this genre, later called "rhyme book".

For the sake of this ideal in life, Lu Jing didn't even do it, and went to Pusaka's house, collected information everywhere, devoted himself to research, and kept his hands on the book for more than ten years. Originally, he didn't plan to show up at this banquet for Zhen Sui - it was too much of a waste of time - or Lu Hu saw that he had an official status and insisted on asking to attend, so he had to carry a book and come to the banquet to find an opportunity to read it privately.

Not to mention the Jin Dynasty, which pays attention to etiquette and strict rules, even in later generations, when he invites distinguished guests, or even at an important banquet about the future of the family, he is suddenly seen by a guest secretly playing with a mobile phone, can he be happy in his heart? If this guy doesn't plan to perfunctory me, what are you asking him to do at the table? Did you deliberately give me a look?!

Therefore, the Lu clan helped Lu Jing explain to Zhen Sui, and Lu Jing also apologized again and again. Zhen Sui didn't seem to be angry, but asked: "Since Mr. Lu was once an official, doesn't he have the will to come back?" ”

Lu Jing shook his head and said: "Yu has no talent for the people, and after the test, how dare he eat the court in vain?" I only want to make this book in this life, the name of "Rhyme Collection", if it can be beautiful with the "Word Forest" of the first brother, this life is not wasted. ”

Zhen asked with a smile, "Where did Mr. Lu come from?" How many of the people who are slaughtering officials today really have the talent to settle the people? Mr. Lu refuses to eat the court in vain, and he must be worshiped in the white food clan, can he feel at ease? If you have the ambition to make books, why not find a spare job, deal with government affairs a little bit on a daily basis, and do as much as you can do when you go home? Now I want to hire Mr. as a guest, do you know if Mr. will agree? ”

Lu Jingwan refused: "Jing Shi has no talent, he only wants to make books, and the things that do books have nothing to do with the generals." How dare you respond in vain to perfunctory generals? ”

When Zhen Sui heard this, he couldn't help but purse his mouth, and no longer paid attention to Lu Jing, but turned his head to Lu Hu and said: "Your family does have some talents, but I don't need those many ......" stretched out his finger and pointed at those few who claimed to be able to settle accounts and understand geography - "That is, these people can help me temporarily take charge of civil affairs while the county guard arrives." But ......" He paused and smiled maliciously: "I still want Lu Jing, if there is no Lu Jing, these few don't have to go!" ”

——————————

The Lu family almost tied up Lu Jing and sent it to the county - who let that guy write a book and resolutely refused to apply for the job - in Lu Hu's mind, it was probably because Zhen Sui was worried that the people he recommended were inexperienced and difficult to take on important responsibilities, so it was reasonable to want one more Lu Jing who had been an official.

When Lu Jing arrived in the county, she begged Zhen to release him, and repeatedly explained that she really didn't know anything except studying words and pronunciation. Zhen Sui not only did not allow it, but appointed Lu Jing to join the army, gave him a generous salary, and gave him a big mansion. He comforted Lu Jing and said: "Sir, but you can live in peace and do books, and you don't have to worry about miscellaneous things." ”

Then he ran to Lu Jing's house every now and then, and when he saw Lu Jing, he didn't say anything was wrong, he just closed the door and leaned on a few cases to take a nap. Lu Jing was perfunctory at first, but later saw that Zhen Sui didn't seem to have anything to talk to, so she didn't care about him, and read and take notes on her own.

Yao Yizhong asked Zhen Sui privately: "I hired Mr. Lu Haozhi, but I didn't let him enter politics, but instead made him rich, what did you come from?" ”

Zhen Sui pretended to be mysterious, lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Lu is really talented, planning strategies, everything is successful, I go to ask every time, and I benefit a lot." How can such a great talent work with mundane things? Just provide it, just provide it. ”

So what is Zhen Sui's plan? To put it bluntly, there are only two words - "pretending to be stupid".

When he was a child, he was clever and sharp, and then his family was broken and forced into exile, and after he was thrown into Wang Dao's house, he began to pretend to be stupid and stunned according to his experience in the rivers and lakes for many years - a barbarian, and he can fight, if he behaves too shrewdly, do you say that the master's family can rest assured? Pretending to be dressed will become natural.

Especially after following Pei Gai, Pei Gai pretended to be a gentleman in Xuzhou, and pretended to be timid in Henan, Zhen Sui looked at it all in his eyes, and felt that only pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger was the king. It's just that he has been pondering recently, I have left my wife in Chang'an as a hostage, why does the governor still refuse to let go of his hands and feet, let me dictate the party, and even the newly recruited soldiers in Hedong must be sent to Chang'an for training first? Isn't he worried about me?

Could it be that it's because I've not pretended to be stupid enough lately and accidentally showed my tail?

Even in Hedong, although it can't be autocratic, after all, it is far away from the metropolitan governor, and many things must be decided by themselves, and if the idea is clumsy, it will definitely fail, and the idea is right, and it will harm the name of "Lu" in their own country, how should this be good? It just so happened that at this time, he discovered such a living treasure as Lu Jing in the Lu family, this person was a county magistrate for a while, and he was somewhat famous, but he was dedicated to writing books and refused to get involved in political affairs, so it was just a cover for him.

After that, if I did anything right and behaved too shrewdly, I could push it on Lu Jing and say that Mr. Lu taught me...... The tail will inevitably be able to be hidden so tightly that even the Metropolitan Governor can't see it, let alone his colleagues!
