After Mi Zhen and Zhen Jiang's land was bought, the next step was, of course, to take the people of the two clans over to build a house and prepare the land. And as soon as these two groups of people left, Lu Ren's mansion suddenly became quiet again.

Lu Ren was not idle, helping Mi Zhen and Zhen Jiang carefully plan the village in the study. Although it is not yet the day to contact Shirley, Lu Ren has already dealt with a lot of things in this area, and there is always some relevant experience, at least there is no problem in improving the initial planning a little.

was busy with reference to the pattern information, and suddenly the doorman came to report that someone was asking to see Lu Ren outside the house, and the person who came said that he was Lu Ren's old friend. As soon as he heard that it was an "old man", Lu Ren almost didn't throw out the pen in his hand, because Lu Ren was really a little cold to the word "old man" since Mi Zhen's incident.

Besides, then again, Lu Ren really doesn't have any old people to speak of in this era. Even if there is, basically in this period, they are all people with heads, faces and family businesses, and if they really want to come to Lu Ren, they will directly report their names, how can they only say that they are old people but do not report their names like now?

At this time, the doorman handed over a famous thorn (the business card of the Han Dynasty), but Lu Ren saw that it was a famous thorn and wanted the doorman to blow this "old man" away. Because at that time, most of the people who handed over the famous assassin in this way came to ask for officials in the relationship, and Lu Ren himself did not have any old people to speak of, but in terms of identity, he was an important position like Xu Duling, and he had a certain right to recommend, so he had encountered such a thing, but no one would claim to be Lu Ren's old man.

However, Lu Ren's words were still not spoken, because under the circumstances at that time, the people who came to see him at will appear to be very arrogant. If it is preached again, it will be a little inconvenient to deal with people in the future. Therefore, Lu Ren still frowned and took the famous thorn, and he was also ready to imagine if he refused the other party euphemistically later.

But it was at this moment that Lu Ren saw the name on the name thorn, and he was stunned at the time:

"Huayang, the character is ...... Why is this name so familiar? Hey, wait! ”

Lu Ren hurriedly activated the chip to refer to the historical materials, and the target of the reference was only one person. Soon, Lu Ren was surprised and said, "It's really him!" But how could he use the name Yang on his name thorn? Meow a mi, it's really my old friend! Hey, hurry up and invite Mr. Hua to the hall to serve tea, and I'll go over after I change my clothes. ”

So who is Hua Yang? In fact, it is Hua Tuo. At that time, people often had several names or characters, and Hua Yang was another name of Hua Tuo. To be precise, "Yang" should be regarded as Hua Tuo's official name, and "Tu" is the common name used by Hua Tuo when he traveled and practiced medicine.

Let's put it this way, Hua Tuo's situation is a bit like Jiang Guangtou. Generally, people call Jiang Guangtou his common name "Kai-shek", but Jiang Guangtou's official official name is "Zhongzheng", and even a standard rifle at that time was named "Zhongzheng" with Jiang Guangtou's official name.

On the other hand, Hua Tuo, people in later generations will generally only know the common name "Tuo" he used when he traveled and practiced medicine, and few people will know the name "Yang" of Hua Tuo's identity as a scholar, so Lu Ren couldn't react just now. On the other hand, later generations only remembered that Hua Tuo was a doctor, but they ignored that Hua Tuo was also a scholar, a scholar in "Shinong Industry and Commerce". But this can't be helped, it's really because Hua Tuo's medical skills are many times higher than his scholars, which makes Hua Tuo's "not doing business" really to the point of absolute Qiba.

And Hua Tuo said that he was Lu Ren's old man, and it was really not a lie. At the beginning, Lu Ren escaped from Puyang, drifted to Chenliu after falling into the water, was seen by Cai Yan and then rescued, it was Hua Tuo who treated and took care of Lu Ren for a period of time. Therefore, Hua Tuo is not only Lu Ren's old man, but also Lu Ren's life-saving benefactor.

said that when Lu Ren rushed to the living room after tidying up, Hua Tuo was drinking tea slowly in the hall. Because after several years, Lu Ren's image of Hua Tuo was already a little blurry, so he saluted Hua Tuo after looking at it carefully for a while: "Mr. Yuanhua, after a long time, you are still so colorful." ”

Lu Ren has a vague memory of Hua Tuo, why doesn't Hua Tuo remember Lu Ren clearly? You must know that Lu Ren's appearance is actually very ordinary, and under normal circumstances, it will be inconspicuous when thrown into the pile, there is really nothing special that can make people remember. So in the same way, Hua Tuo also found the original Lu Ren who was recuperating under the pseudonym of Chen Ren in his memory after carefully drying Lu Ren for a long time, and then returned the salute to Lu Ren: "It's really you!" I can't imagine that a few years have passed, and today you are already the commander of the Jingshi. When you throw the stab, you're still worried about whether it's the person with the same name as you. If that's the case, I'm going to make a joke in the next place. ”

Lu Renxin said no, in the past few years, Lu Ren has been farming here in Yanzhou, and he doesn't dare to say it, but he still has some general reputation, so how can Hua Tuo say that he is afraid that he is the wrong person?

Asked with such doubts, Hua Tuo explained that Lu Ren understood. It turned out that Hua Tuo went to Jiangdong in the past few years, and it was during this period that Hua Tuo treated Zhou Tai's injuries. At that time, the news was not circulated smoothly, and there was a Yuan Shu who squatted in the Lujiang and Shouchun areas to fight with Cao Cao, and the news in Henan spread to Jiangdong later, like Hua Tuo got the news that Emperor Han Xian moved the capital to Xuchang a few months ago, and then decided to come to Xuchang. As for knowing that Lu Ren is now Xu Duling, it will be after crossing the Yangtze River. Because it had been a long time, Hua Tuo was not sure if it was Lu Ren who he had treated at the beginning.

After being polite to each other like this, Hua Tuo also made his intentions clear. In fact, it is very simple, Hua Tuo wants to have a relationship with Lu Ren, so as to get Lu Ren's recommendation, and Lu Renzhi is not surprised by this. Historical materials say that Hua Tuo "is a scholar, sees his profession as a doctor, and often regrets himself", that is to say, Hua Tuo may have been a little tall when he was young, but when he got older, he regretted becoming a doctor and wanted to re-enter the official career.

In modern society, doctors are a good profession, but in that era, the social status was "Shi Nong Industry and Commerce", and the scholars who took the official career were the most senior civilians, and they also had the opportunity to become officials, so their social status could be higher. "Medicine" is ranked at the level of "worker", which belongs to the third class, and its social status is somewhat low. Hua Tuo wants to return to his career, but it is understandable. Besides, in Lu Ren's view, returning to the official career to seek official positions and Hua Tuo's medical ethics do not conflict...... To put it mildly, in modern society, many rich people don't want to do something to improve their social status? Where will there be fewer people who have entered the government from business?

If someone else came to Lu Ren to ask for a recommendation, Lu Ren would ignore it for fear of ignoring it. But Hua Tuo came to Lu Ren for help, this favor Lu Ren will help, and when Lu Ren was recuperating from Hua Tuo's injury, he knew that Hua Tuo was actually proficient in scriptures, and being proficient in scriptures was an important condition for scholars to be officials in that era, and there would be no problem if he really wanted to recommend it. As for what Hua Tuo will look like after being recommended, that is not within Lu Ren's ability.

In fact, Lu Ren knew very well in his heart that even if Hua Tuo didn't come to him, it would not be difficult to get a recommendation in Hua Tuo's name. In this case, it is better for me to push the boat down the river, and it can be regarded as a personal favor to Hua Tuo. Of course, Hua Tuo may still be targeted by Cao Cao, and then hope that Hua Tuo will become Cao Cao's personal doctor, and then Hua Tuo will still be killed by Cao Cao because he does not want to be a doctor.

But this kind of thing itself is not something that Lu Ren can have, and Lu Ren has already worn it back by that time, and he can't manage it if he wants to. But on the other hand, Lu Ren's recommendation may make Hua Tuo an official of the court, rather than Cao Cao's official, so maybe it can change a little. It should also be explained here that the officials of the court and Cao Cao's staff are two different things, at least at the present time. Even Cao Cao himself actually has the duality of a court official and a foreign general in his official position, and Zhuge Liang in the future also belongs to this situation.

So at this time, Lu Ren was full of promises to Hua Tuo, and at the same time invited Hua Tuo to live here for a while. According to Lu Ren's current thoughts, he didn't recommend Hua Tuo directly to Cao Cao, in that case, it would be a bit of a direct pit for Hua Tuo. Therefore, Lu Ren planned to recommend Hua Tuo to Mao Jue according to the regular procedures. Mao Jie is now Cao Peng, the East of Sikong Mansion, helping Cao Cao take charge of the selection of talents, and Mao Jue is honest and honest, if Hua Tuo can't pass Mao Jue's level, it won't be any wonder that Lu Ren is there.

After finishing business, the two began to chat. chatting and chatting, Hua Tuo asked about Cai Yan, after all, Lu Ren and Hua Tuo met from Cai Yan at the beginning, and Hua Tuo came to Xuchang, and more or less heard about some things between Lu Ren and Cai Yan.

Faced with Hua Tuo's question, Lu Ren could only shake his head, rescued Cai Yan back to Cai Yan at that time, and then told him about Cai Yan being sent to Cao Cao. After hearing this, Hua Tuo sighed and shook his head: "Miss Cai's life is hard! However, Lu Lingjun, you have an old friendship with the Cai family, and your talent and knowledge are very compatible with Miss Cai, why don't you ask Miss Cai for marriage, but instead entrust Miss Cai to Cao Gong's care? ”

Lu Ren was immediately dumbfounded, and said in his heart How many times have I heard such words? And what's worse is that this kind of words actually came out of Wan'er's mouth......

————————————————————

Han, in the middle of the first month of the third year of Jian'an, just after the Lantern Festival.

In September of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yuan Shu and fled to Huainan to defeat Yuan Shu, while Cao Cao stayed there for a short time in Shouchun. Later, there was a rebellion in Nanyang and Zhangling, and it was re-surrendered to Zhang Xiu's banner, Cao Hong fought a few battles and did not take advantage, so Cao Cao had to recruit Zhang Xiu again in November. It was not until the first month of the third year of Jian'an that Cao Cao returned to Xuchang......
