With this batch of sudden wealth, the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang no longer worry about their livelihood, and at the same time, with this property, of course, the idea of being an official rose again, so Liu Bei looked at the ten pairs of white bi in front of him and calculated, this happened to bribe the ten permanent servants, as soon as such an idea came out, it was immediately opposed by the proud Guan Yu: "Ten permanent servants, Han thieves, even if they have been dressed in white cloth, they will definitely not be attached to it." ”

Liu Bei nervously explained: "Since we are in the coming troubled times, it is reasonable to stand firm first, you are like our Brother Lu, you don't care what method he uses, now he has four thousand strong soldiers, and he has become the captain of Youzhou, once the world is in chaos, it is completely possible to divide one side, if the time and place are favorable, and everyone can occupy it, it can immediately become the overlord of one party, and now we must seize every opportunity to lay a solid foundation for the three brothers to show their ambitions in the future." ”

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei, who only cared about drinking, and in the end he could only follow the arrangement of his eldest brother.

The next day, Liu Bei, who was in good spirits, took Zhang Fei to Zhang Rang's house again and asked to see Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent attendants.

When the porter saw Liu Bei coming, his brows were furrowed, this guy could still give a red envelope of more than ten or 20 Wen at the beginning, but later he became more and more shabby, and in the end he didn't even have a penny, just holding an excuse for a Han clan relative, and always wanted to ask to see his master, who would like to deal with such a person? So he didn't take a look at him, received the next person, and deliberately received the heavy door bag handed by that person, and checked it again in front of Liu Bei's eyes, which means that you poor and sour emperor, get away.

Of course, Liu Bei knew the thoughts of these snobs, so he stepped forward again, bowed to the porter in a low voice, and then respectfully handed over a big door bag, and as a result, this heavy pocket, in the eyes of the porter who has been in the hands of money for a long time, immediately weighed out the quantity, this time I am afraid that there is a thousand dollars, this is a rare income, so I quickly grabbed it, the original eyes looked at the sky, and immediately looked at Liu Bei with a smile, the original cynicism also immediately turned into flattery:" Xuande Gong hasn't been to the door for a long time, the little one misses it very much, I have time to come today, please say anything directly, and the little one will do it for you immediately. ”

Liu Bei had already scolded his ancestors for eight generations in his heart, but there was a look of gratitude on his face, and he bowed down again and saluted: "Please also invite the little brother to go in and talk to Liu Hou (the ten permanent servants were named liehous), and say——"

The porter immediately said: "I know that I know, after King Jing of Zhongshan in the Great Han Sect, Xuande Gong asked to see him?" You'll report now. Then he turned to his subordinates and yelled, "What are you doing in a daze? Don't you want Emperor Liu to go to the gatehouse to warm up? Then he turned to Liu Bei and bowed: "Wait for Xuande Gong, later, later." Then he ran in.

The first time he got the treatment of this porter, Liu Bei's face couldn't help showing pride, he puffed up his chest, arched his hand at the people queuing up outside to see, and took Zhang Fei into the gatehouse to roast the fire.

This porter was originally Zhang Rang's henchman, otherwise he would not have put this fat on his head, at the same time, this porter is also eye-catching, the most good at watching people put down dishes, as long as he looks at it, he can know how good a gift the visitor can send, whether it is worth Zhang Rang's meeting, the current Zhang Rang is not someone who wants to see it, it is definitely a celebrity around the emperor, red and purple, the value of this thing, is lifted up, there is no need to put it down to make people cheap, so this gatekeeper is deeply trusted by Zhang Rang, You can go straight to the house.

Holding Liu Bei's notebook, the porter presided directly into Zhang Rang's hall, and then lay on Zhang Rang's ear and whispered for a while, Zhang Rang squinted his eyes and listened, then nodded slightly, and coughed at a few bureaucrats who were talking to him in the hall: "Our family still has some small things to do, I have your affairs in mind, please go back and wait for good news." ”

Since the master issued the order to expel the guests, several officials present absolutely did not dare to stay here anymore, and at the same time, the host's reply was also reassuring to everyone's request, so they got up and retreated, took a few steps back and turned to leave.

At this time, Zhang Rang stretched his waist, stretched out his legs that were sitting numb on his knees, and immediately a few beautiful maids came over and rubbed and hammered, made a horse and killed chickens, and then drank a bowl of tea and soup, and then complained: "I should rest today, but there are more things than in the palace, and this still makes people live?" A few of us old things, worrying about the world for this big man, were attacked by many inexplicable people, which is really infuriating and hateful. Then he waved his hand and said to the porter: "Go, let the one named Liu Bei come in." ”

The porter immediately ran out and entered the gatehouse, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei quickly stood up, Liu Bei respectfully saluted: "Bei, can you be summoned by the Marquis?" ”

The porter hurriedly reported the merit and said: "Oh, Xuande Gong, you don't know, our lord is difficult to go out of the palace today to rest for a day, from dawn, there is a long queue outside the door, officials from all over the country have asked to see, from morning to night, even a sip of tea has not been drunk, this just sent away a few people, I wanted to go to the back hall to rest, and then go back to the palace to serve the emperor, but I begged bitterly, saying that you have been here many times, or the emperor's own family, my lord is reluctant to meet you again. Then he looked at Liu Bei eagerly with his eyes.

Of course, Liu Bei understood, so he took out a small gold leaf in his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into the hand of the porter: "If you get what you want, you will never forget your brother's great kindness." ”

Jin Ziye, this is something that is rarely seen in ordinary times, the porter said with a smile on his face on the spot: "Then I wish Xuande Gong all his wishes come true, and follow the little guy in." I'm here waiting for your good news. ”

After Liu Bei thanked him for his kindness, he took the ten brocade boxes from Zhang Fei's hands, held them with both hands, and respectfully followed the little girl in the inner courtyard into Zhang Rang's mansion. I didn't dare to look left and right along the way, just looked down at the road under my feet, and after turning around, I finally stopped in front of a chic private room, and the little guy whispered to the inside: "Master Hou, Xuande Gong has arrived." ”

A lazy voice came from the elegant room: "Liu Bei, come in." ”

The little guy opened the curtain and let Liu Bei in.

Liu Bei knelt down outside the threshold first, and signed up inside: "Zhuojun savage, after Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty after King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande will meet Zhang Hou." Then he stood up, stepped into the threshold, put aside the ten brocade boxes in his hand, and knelt down again to say goodbye.
