Cao Cao was in a hurry to go back to discuss things with a group of staff, so he didn't have much to pay attention to Lu Ren's affairs here, so he left with people after appeasing Lu Ren for a few words. Lu Ren knew that he had passed this catastrophe, and his heart grew an atmosphere.

Turning his head to look at Mi Zhen beside him, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart, is this a feng shui rotation? A few years ago, at the beginning of the crossing, I could say that I wanted to hide in Mi's house for refuge. But after just a few years, they fell one by one, and became a member of the Mi family who came to take refuge here. But then again, thinking that he actually got mixed up with this, Lu Ren's heart will inevitably have a bit of stinky farts and complacency.

Seeing that there is nothing else to do now, of course Lu Ren returned to his house with Mi Zhen's group. Speaking of which, Lu Ren is now as Xu Duling, and the mansion is not ordinarily big, and it is really not a problem to settle the two hundred or so people brought by Mi Zhen, but it also makes the mansion, which is usually always deserted and quiet, become lively all of a sudden.

Of course, Lu Ren and Mi Zhen didn't have to worry about those messy things, so the two of them sat in the middle hall to drink tea and rest. After pouring a few glasses of water, Mi Zhen looked left and right, and asked with a little curiosity, "What about your delicate maid Wan'er?" ”

Lu Ren's hand holding the cup trembled, and he said with a strange expression: "Do you know my family Wan'er? ”

Mi Zhen rolled her eyes at Lu Ren: "Yanzhou is not far from Xuzhou, and your little thing has already been passed on." You don't want to think that I'm involved in these rumors, so where can your family Wan'er hide? Won't you invite her out to meet me now? I don't even know how long I'm going to stay with you, but of course I'm going to have to meet her early to say hello. And some of the things are better to say clearly to your face, or I'll accidentally offend her, and God knows if you'll go crazy and kill me. ”

“…… Miss Mi, don't you know that many of the rumors are actually fake? Not to mention anything else, it is rumored that you and I have had a personal affair for a long time, and even had an affair for a long time, but we are innocent between us. ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips. To be honest, this is also after she and Lu Ren reunited, and found that Lu Ren still had the same temper as she did at the beginning, so she dared to speak like this, otherwise she would have to be replaced by other officials and scholars, and Mi Zhen would have to be temporarily sent under the fence, how could she dare to be so presumptuous?

And Mi Zhen still has such a mentality, that is, although she is now in a state of being under a parasitic fence, she doesn't want to put herself in a very low position, to put it simply, she doesn't want to see Lu Ren's face. Now I see that Lu Ren is still as easy-going as he was a few years ago, there is no official authority to speak of, and Mi Zhen is a lot more relieved, so talking to Lu Ren will be a little unpolite, and even a little bit of joking with Lu Ren as he did at the beginning:

"Ask her to come out and meet her! I really want to see how beautiful a woman can be who can drive you crazy. ”

Lu Ren smiled dumbly: "Don't listen to those rumors talking nonsense!" Wan'er is not as beautiful as the rumors say. Please don't make trouble here, before I brought you to Xudu, I will let Wan'er and them go to Fuyouyishe to avoid it first, so she won't be able to come back after two or three days. ”

Mi Zhenqi said: "Why? ”

Lu Ren explained: "The Childcare House is now in charge of Mrs. Ding. You may know that Wan'er was once recognized as a sister by Cao Zixiu, right? Mrs. Ding is Cao Zixiu's mother. Later, Cao Zixiu died in battle in Wancheng, and Mrs. Ding recognized Wan'er as her daughter. So occasionally Wan'er went to visit Mrs. Ding, and would stay there to accompany Mrs. Ding. Now that she has taken my words and gone to avoid it, then with Mrs. Ding's temper, it will not take two or three days to confirm that I am indeed fine here, and she will not let Wan'er come back. ”

Mi Zhen said "oh" to show that she understood, and then glanced out of the hall and said, "I thought that after arriving at your mansion, I would settle these people I brought, but I didn't expect you to be so empty here, and more than 200 people lived casually." You are Xu Duling now, why are there only a few followers around? ”

Lu Ren said: "I didn't expect that I would become Xu Duling, at that time I was just a better than Cao Pengshi, and I became such an official in a daze, so I never thought about recruiting too many followers." I won't hide it from you, the twenty or so people in my mansion are all Xun Wenruo's children seconded to me, and there are actually only four of my own entourage, including Wan'er, and three of them are still little children. ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips and smiled: "That's okay, these people I brought will be your house slaves from today onwards, you can call them at will...... But you should be able to afford these people, right? ”

Lu Ren glared at Mi Zhen, and said in his heart, "You have brought a large group of people to eat my big family." However, with Lu Ren's current two positions, he can still afford to support these two hundred people. You must know that in that era, the average official's family was hundreds of people at every turn, and it was actually rare for someone like Lu Ren to be Xu Duling but not have many followers.

Then again, Lu Ren has never done any industry for himself mainly because he will be able to wear it back in another three years, and he really doesn't have much heart to get an industry and support his family, and he can't take it away when he wears it back. But it is precisely because of this that occasionally when Lu Ren wants to do something, he will find that there is really no one around him to use, so he gives up.

Now Mi Zhen has brought more than 200 people, and it has solved the problem that Lu Ren has no one available. It doesn't matter if you can't bring back the things you get out, anyway, Mi Zhen was good to herself at the beginning, so she was cheap, and it wasn't bad to repay her.

After the two chatted some gossip, a member of the Mi family came to tell Mi Zhen that Mi Zhen's bedroom in the courtyard had been cleaned up, and asked Mi Zhen to go over and see if she was satisfied. Girls' families are generally very particular about this, and Mi Zhenna, who was born in a rich family, is even more so, of course, after greeting Lu Ren, she ran to see it.

This kind of thing Lu Ren was neither willing nor convenient to join in the fun, so he was going to go to the study to do some work. It's just that he just got together, and the Mi family member who came to inform Mi Zhen just now came up, and after respectfully saluting Lu Ren, he mysteriously took out a leather bag containing silk letters from his underwear and handed it to Lu Ren.

Lu Ren was slightly stunned when he saw this, and subconsciously put the letter bag in his sleeve and then looked at the family, and then said softly: "You come with me." ”

Walking quickly to the study, Lu Ren confidently took out the letter in his pocket and was stunned again when he looked at the beginning. Lu Ren thought that this letter should be written by Mi Zhu, but he never imagined that the person who wrote this letter to himself turned out to be Liu Bei!

Fu looked up at this Mi family again, and Lu Renxin said Liu Bei, you are amazing! This person is obviously a person under Mi Zhu, but he will help you Liu Bei send this secret letter, which shows that your Liu Bei's ability to win people's hearts is really not ordinary.

After sending this exclamation, Lu Ren of course read the letter carefully. And after reading it carefully, Lu Ren became more than he could cry and laugh. Looking up at the person who sent the letter again, Lu Ren shook his head and said, "You go to rest first, and I will send you back after I finish writing the reply." ”

The person who sent the letter retreated, and Lu Ren's gaze returned to the letter, and he smiled bitterly to himself: "What is this Nima?" I thought that Liu Bei really refused to marry Mi Zhen because he was worried about his reputation, so he gave up the full support that Mi could give him, and after a long time, you Liu Bei wanted me to be a middleman to help you contact Lao Cao and ask Lao Cao for help? But do you Liu Bei know that it's really redundant for you to do this? If you want to ask Lao Cao for help, just send a messenger directly, and even if you don't send a messenger over, Lao Cao will take the initiative to help you......"

Liu Bei's letter simply said this, that is, Liu Bei temporarily tuned Xiaopei after being attacked by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, and wanted to ask Cao Cao for help. Now today's Lu Ren is already a staff member who can speak a few words here in Cao Cao, otherwise he would not be able to hold such an important official position as Xu Duling, it just so happens that Lu Ren is also a bit of an old friend with Liu Bei, and even directly or indirectly helped Liu Bei in some things, so Liu Bei wanted to ask Lu Ren to come forward and say a few words to Cao Cao. And Mi Zhenhui failed to marry Liu Bei, and came to Xuchang to find Lu Ren, it is not difficult to see from the words of the letter that Liu Bei is afraid of offending himself as an intermediary.

Such a letter was delivered to Lu Ren, what else could Lu Ren do except cry and laugh? Just like Lu Ren just said, if Liu Bei wants to ask Cao Cao for help during this period, he can just send someone casually, and even if Liu Bei doesn't send someone to contact Cao Cao, Cao Cao will take the initiative to help Liu Bei. There was nothing to do with Lu Ren here, Liu Bei is now asking Lu Ren to help him talk, and even took a huge dowry of a wife and his wife to "marry", which is really redundant.

However, after crying and laughing, Lu Ren tried to empathize and think about it, and found that it might be human nature for Liu Bei to do this. Let's put it this way, in the original historical process, Liu Bei didn't know the people in Cao Cao's camp at all, he couldn't find anyone to help him speak to Cao Cao, and he had a little hostile relationship with Cao Cao, so in the end, it was Cao Cao who was almost wiped out and had no way out.

And Liu Bei accepted Mi's funding before Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, in other words, Liu Bei accepted Mi's funding without knowing whether he could catch Cao Cao's line. But the current situation is that there is a Lu Ren in Cao's camp, who can help Liu Bei say a few words in front of Cao Cao, and the little support that Mi can provide can be compared with the help that Cao Cao can provide? One is thick thighs, the other is small arms, if it were you, which one would you choose?

As for sending Mi Zhen over, it would be better explained...... Speaking of which, Lu Ren's reputation in some things is not very good, since Liu Bei wants Lu Ren to be the intermediary and help talk, how dare he offend Lu Ren in this kind of thing? It's like the mentality that when someone wants to ask someone for help, they definitely don't dare to provoke anyone......
