Chapter 169 Where is the heart?

After the meeting ended, Lu Ren did not return to the house directly, but did not even bring any of his entourage, but walked around the market with his hands behind his back. But at this time, Lu Ren seems to be very leisurely, but in fact, he is very annoyed in his heart:

"He's a sister, and now the troubles are really one after another. The matter between the little emperor and Lao Cao has not been properly handled, and now he can't even give up the official position he wants to let out. It's okay to do this, and it may not cause any problems if you work seriously, but Lao Cao beat Zhang Xiu...... I can't suggest that Lao Cao don't go to this battle, right? Besides, what reason do I have, what excuse do I have to keep Lao Cao from going to this battle? ”

In fact, this kind of thing was originally the most suitable thing to say to Guo Jia, but the worst thing was that Guo Jia was sent by Cao Cao to help Xia Houdun in Puyang not long ago. Cao Cao was afraid that Yuan Shao would make any moves, so he asked Guo Jia, who had stayed with Yuan Shao and knew more about Yuan Shao's situation, to deal with the relevant matters. But in this way, Lu Ren couldn't find a suitable person to entrust.

"It is said that under the eaves of people, you have to bow your head. And I'm in a situation where I don't have to worry about the roof and pillars that keep out the rain so I don't have to fall over...... How to remind Lao Cao and Xiao Cao? Could it be that you directly told Lao Cao that you should not play with women when you go to Zhang Xiu? But where can he say such a thing! It's better to think of something else......"

With all kinds of thoughts in his mind, Lu Ren slowly and leisurely swayed back to the mansion. After coming back, there was nothing else to do, so Lu Ren said hello to Wan'er and went into the study by himself. And he was in the study looking at the data drawings, but he heard some slight movement in front of the door of the study. When I looked closely, it was Cheng, Xin, and Lan who were discussing something by the door.

Seeing that it was this little kid, Lu Ren was also angry and funny, and immediately shouted: "What are you little bastards hiding there for?" Sneaky, could it be that he wants to murder your boss and me? ”

Lu Ren made a sound, and the little children hurriedly walked into the study. Lu Cheng was older, and he immediately responded to Lu Ren: "Boss, don't make this kind of joke in the future, okay?" If this kind of joke is heard by someone who doesn't know, the three of us won't even know how to die. ”

Lu Ren scolded with a smile: "Then what are you hiding by the door?" The ghostly didn't know what they were discussing. ”

The little children looked at each other a few times, and finally Lu Cheng was pushed out, and after hesitating for a long time, he said with a little timidity: "We have encountered something and want to ask the boss for your help, but I don't know how to talk to the boss......"

Lu Renle was happy, and the bamboo slip in his hand was also put to the side: "You little children have encountered something, so you want to ask me for help?" Don't let me tell me that you've been bullied, so you want me to help you get ahead. I may not be clear about other people's affairs, but can I not be clear about your affairs? I usually follow me to inspect Zhutun, there are few people in the four miles and eight towns who don't know you, and even with you and Zixiu are very familiar, this tiger is fake and mighty, who would dare to provoke you little children? If you really provoke anyone who dares to teach you a lesson, I can't afford to provoke that person as well. ”

Lu Cheng didn't speak in a daze, but it was the little girl Lu Lan who couldn't get angry, and after a heavy blow, she pounced on Lu Ren's body, and the little pink fist also greeted Lu Ren's body...... This is also why Lu Ren has never regarded these little children as subordinates, and he usually makes such a fuss, otherwise if he changes to someone else's house, Xiao Lulan is afraid that he will be beaten to death by someone like this.

"Stinky boss, bad boss! The three of us are a little younger, but we are not so ignorant children, right? I usually walk outside, and I've never caused you any trouble for the boss! ”

The little girl Lu Lan is only ten years old this year, and after this month to the first month of the next year, she is just eleven years old, and now she is a standard little Lori. And Xiao Lulan is a natural beauty embryo, belonging to the type that is very pleasing to the eye without much need to dress up. And for Lu Ren, a traverser, it is actually a pleasure to laugh and play with such a little Lori from time to time, so he has never deliberately asked Lu Lan to learn any ladylike style, but has instilled in Lu Lan something that does not belong to this era, and as a result, it makes the little Lu Lan, who is originally a street beggar and not very quiet and gentle, have a little bit of modern Lori taste.

But then again, the pretty and cute little Lori tends to be more likable. has a bit of a savage taste, and it is often more in line with the "cheap" taste in the hearts of many men...... Anyway, let alone Lu Ren, even Cao Ang likes this little Lori like Lu Lan. Even Mrs. Ding is particularly fond of Lu Lan. Of course, Lu Lan always has someone who will teach her something serious, so when it is time to obey the rules, Lu Lan is still very well-behaved.

But he said that Lu Ren was very "cheap" at this time, and only after eating Lu Lan's little powder fist did he reach out to clasp Lu Lan's little powder fist, and turned his head to Lu Cheng and Lu Xin: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." Didn't you say you wanted me to help you with something? Tell me what it is, and I'll help you if I can. No matter how I say that I am also your boss, I don't help you get ahead, who will help you get ahead? ”

Lu Cheng stopped Lu Lan from drinking, and then hesitated for a moment before saying, "It may be a little unclear, so I have to trouble the boss, you follow us to take a look." ”

Lu Ren also felt that these little children didn't seem to be doing something mischievous at this time, so after a little silence, he nodded, changed his clothes, and followed the little children out of the back door to leave the mansion. After walking around for a while, Lu Ren was surprised to find that they had come to the slums in Xuchang City.

Slums can be said to exist in any era and in any region, even in the most developed and prosperous cities in modern society. Lu Ren didn't care much about this, how could he solve the problems that human civilization had not been able to solve for thousands of years? Moreover, before Lu Ren was mainly in charge of the city wall and the Tuntian water conservancy outside the city, he didn't manage the affairs of the city or meddle in it, so he didn't pay much attention to these.

Now that he was pulled to the slum by the little boys, as soon as he saw what the residents here looked like, Lu Ren immediately realized something, stretched out his hand and grabbed the little boys and said, "You pulled me here, do you want me to help the people here?" ”

Lu Lan and Lu Xin nodded together, and Lu Cheng said: "Boss, the three of us have been with you for almost two years, and there are many things that the two of them may not know, but I understand." Although the displaced people here are bitter, as long as they go to recruit Tuntian in the spring, they can still eat a full meal. And what we really want the boss to help is not those who can go to recruit Tuntian, but ......"

At this point, Lu Cheng led Lu Ren into a dilapidated courtyard. After a few soft calls, a bunch of large and small ...... suddenly poured out of the courtyard children, but also a few elderly people. As for the depressed state of these people, there is no need to mention it.

Lu Ren was stunned, and Lu Cheng said to Lu Ren after signaling everyone to be quiet: "Boss still remember how he took in the three of us in the first place?" At that time, we also wanted to apply for Tuntian, but because people were small and weak, they refused to ask for it. These people here now, old and young, are the same as the three of us at that time, even if they have the heart to apply for food and have nowhere to ask for food. In fact, earlier, the three of us saved some food and sent it here, and we could barely help it, but as the number of displaced people increased, the little food that the three of us children could save really couldn't help a few people. In desperation, I thought of asking the boss for your help. ”

Lu Ren looked at the old and young in the courtyard, sighed lightly, and then reached out and touched the head of the little child: "The three of you have also wandered, hungry and cold, and you know the hunger and hardship here, so you have compassion for them, right?" ”

Lu Cheng and Lu Xin nodded together, and Lu Lan took Lu Ren's hand and begged: "Boss, Xiaolan knows that the boss is the best, and the boss, you are Xu Duling, you can help the people here, please, boss!" ”

Lu Ren pinched Lu Lan's pink and tender little face, and his eyes swept towards the people in the courtyard. And soon, Lu Ren saw on the faces of several old people a look that he had seen before, and it was hidden deep in his heart, and he didn't want to think about it. What kind of look was that? Because of despair and woodenness, and because of woodenness, it seems to be relieved......

Seeing such a look, Lu Ren's heart trembled, and even with the hand that pinched Xiao Lu Lan's face, he unconsciously used a little more force, until Xiao Lu Lan grinned, and finally broke free of Lu Ren's hand under the unbearable resistance, rubbed the little face and said angrily: "It hurts!" Boss, do you usually pinch Sister Wan'er like this? ”

"Huh? Hum, hum...... Hehe, hehe...... Hahahaha!! ”

Everyone saw that Lu Ren's soft laughter suddenly turned into loud laughter, and for a while, many children and old people retreated. Seeing Lu Ren like this, the little children of Cheng, Xin, and Lan looked at each other a few times, and their hearts were a little worried:

"Boss, boss, are you alright?"

Lu Ren suppressed his laughter, looked at the little fart with a calm face, shook his head and sighed lightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." I'm just thinking, you three little brats who eat and drink with me are still like that, and what about me? What do I worry about all day long? ”

Where did the little kid know about the things in Lu Ren's heart, he could only look at Lu Ren very nervously at the moment.

And what about Lu Ren? Lu Ren just smiled at the little kid at the moment, and said secretly in his heart: "Actually, I really should thank these little kids, because it was the three of them that reminded me why I took the initiative to do things in the first place." But what about me now? I don't know where to throw away the original heart, and I am afraid of what I am afraid of all day long! What's the difference between a person who can't even find his heart and a walking corpse? Belch...... This sentence is really cartoon enough, but the truth is correct.

"In fact, with Cao Cao's principle of employing people, as long as he doesn't touch his taboos and does things seriously, Cao Cao will be reluctant to kill, and it is more suitable that it is now in the early stage of Cao Cao, people like Kong Rong who are dedicated to Cao Cao's disobedience, Cao Cao endured not to kill, I can help Cao Cao a lot of people, where would Cao Cao be willing to kill me? Since I am reluctant to kill me, what does it matter if I follow my original intention and do those things that I wanted to do once upon a time!? ”
