Chapter 167 Intentional concessions

"Not interested."

"No, fun, fun!?" Guo Jia was angry under the madness, and pointed at Lu Ren and said: "You kid is really a bastard who doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness!" Do you know your current career and opportunities, how many scholars in the world covet it but can't get it? But you say here that you are not interested, you really have no eyes! ”

Lu Ren glanced at Guo Jia and shook his head slightly: "I also think God is playing a big joke on me." In fact, the original intention in my heart, other people may not be clear, but you Lao Guo can not be clear? I just want to be an ordinary little official, just have a stable life. It's good to finish your work easily on weekdays, and be at ease after work, and have nothing to worry about...... Lao Guo, to be honest, I'm getting more and more confused now, because I don't even know what I'm doing now! ”

“……”

Guo Jia was speechless for a long time, and then looked at Lu Ren repeatedly, and soon realized that Lu Ren was not lying or pretending to be anything. And what such a person needs is enlightenment and guidance.

In fact, no matter who you are, you will encounter such a situation in your life journey, and to put it simply, you don't know what your life goal is. Of course, Lu Ren actually has his own goal, that is, to take Wan'er back to live his free and easy life of being rich and handsome, but he is now trapped in a difficult situation everywhere, and there is always a feeling that it is easy to offend anyone, and he doesn't know how to go next, so people are confused.

Guo Jia pondered for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Yihao, Fang is in a big mess today, and it is the time for talented people like you and me to use their lives. You don't want to be famous, you just want to enjoy the world, it's understandable, but in this troubled world, it's really difficult to fulfill your long-cherished wish in your heart. ”

Lu Ren just shook his head and smiled when he heard this. Although Guo Jia is Lu Ren's good friend, after all, it is impossible for Lu Ren to tell Guo Jia that he can disappear in this era in a few years, so Guo Jia only used the concept of people at that time to persuade Lu Ren, but this kind of persuasion can move Lu Ren?

Guo Jia just glanced at Lu Ren a few times and knew that this kind of talk was of little use to Lu Ren. After thinking about it carefully, Guo Jia spoke again: "Okay, you kid might as well think about it yourself." When you were in charge of Cao Pengshi, it can be said that you were already in line with the original intention in your heart, but at that time, you went to find a job and try it out. Now you might as well think about why you did that. ”

"......" was said by Guo Jia, and Lu Ren's eyes seemed to have a scene that he had been hiding deep in his heart and didn't want to touch again, and people trembled slightly.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and patted Lu Ren's shoulder, and said with a smile: "In fact, for many people, fame and fortune are just a passing moment, I actually don't care much about what official position I have, how much money I can get, as long as I can do what I want to do according to my heart." Yihao, you and I have the same temperament, so I believe that you are actually not much like me...... In fact, there are so many things you think about, why do you do so much? Isn't it okay to do what you want to do and what you can do? Wouldn't it be comfortable to treat the things that upset and depressing you as a breeze in your ears and ignore them? ”

Lu Renxin said that you are simple, but it cannot be denied that Guo Jia does have some truth in what he said. smiled at Guo Jia at the moment and continued to look at the snow scene.

Guo Jia knew that it was enough to talk about this, and whether he could figure it out or not depended on Lu Ren himself, it didn't make sense for him to talk too much here. With a roll of his eyes, Guo Jia smiled and said, "By the way, Yihao, I heard that some time ago, you entrusted Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji to the lord, and asked the lord to take care of her?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Yes......"

Guo Jia said: "You already have an old relationship with Cai Zhonglang, and you saved her in the hands of the Hun thieves the previous time, but why didn't you take care of her directly?" ”

Lu Ren said: "How can I take care of it?" You don't know what kind of bird I'm usually busy with? Besides, my name is not very good, and I am about the same age as her (Lu Ren is now 25, Cai Yan is 23), what kind of rumors have come out...... I don't care, I'm even happy to be so, but Miss Cai is a serious person, how can I stand this? ”

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and asked with a wicked smile, "Is Miss Cai beautiful?" How is it compared to your family? ”

Lu Ren said dumbly: "Lao Guo, why are you asking this?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Just ask!" I have heard of the name of Miss Cai for a long time, but I have never seen it. ”

Lu Ren was speechless for a moment, shook his head lightly and said, "Why do you feel that you can't say a few serious words with Lao Guo?" ”

Guo Jia laughed again: "You and I are both immodest people, and if you are serious with you, it will be annoying for you to listen to it." ”

“…… Okay, okay, it's a mistake to make friends! Lu Ren really didn't want to talk to Guo Jia about those too serious words at this time, so he raised his head and sighed after thinking about it: "Don't say it, Wan'er, this girl is really not as good as Miss Cai." Wan'er's posture can only be regarded as an upper-middle posture, but Cai Zhaoji, whether it is her appearance or talent, can be said to be a rare ...... in the world."

Guo Jia interrupted Lu Ren's words: "Then you kid recruited truthfully, do you have a heart for Miss Cai in your heart?" ”

"......" Lu Ren shook a punch at Guo Jia, but there was a little more smile on his face: "When the two of us got together, we really couldn't be serious!" That's it, we are also grandfathers, there is nothing to dare to admit this kind of thing. Actually, don't say it's me, a woman like Zhao Ji, I'm afraid there are few men in this world who won't be attracted to her, and I'm just one of them. ”

Guo Jia said: "Is this really the case? ”

Lu Ren said: "Your old Guo is one of the planners that Cao Gong admires the most, and it is very convenient to go to Cao Gong's mansion to sit and beg for a glass of wine or something, and now it will not be too difficult to see Zhao Ji's face, just go back and find an excuse to meet him." ”

Guo Jia didn't speak again, but looked at the snow scene with Lu Ren. Occasionally glancing at Lu Ren, Guo Jia secretly said in his heart: "Since the ancient scholars should be 'cultivating Qi and ruling peace', you kid 'Xiuqi' doesn't know where you are, and you are already busy 'curing', how can your mind be calm?" To put it mildly, you're just a big kid. But if this Cai Zhaoji is really as you say, you entrust her to the lord......"

Thinking of this, Guo Jia realized something, and his brows tightened.

————————————————————

A few days later, Lu Ren received the edict of being promoted to the official Xu Du Order and receiving the edict of the general of Nong Zhonglang, and the next day Cao Cao held a meeting to discuss the next deployment of Cao Cao's group.

Cao Cao's current strategic policy, first of all, is to "Fu Yuan Shao in the north", needless to say, Cao Cao has already sent an edict here after the emperor was stabilized, and Yuan Shao was awarded the post of Taiwei. However, Lu Ren knew that Yuan Shao would definitely lose his temper, and come to a "Shao shame class is under the public", and the edict sent by Cao Cao should be on the way back to Xuchang now, so Cao Cao will give up the current position of general to Yuan Shao. Of course, Lu Ren would not have said these words.

Next is the question about Liu Bei and Lu Bu in the east, but this matter was only said in some scenes at the meeting. Because this matter is to be done by conspiracy, and where can a conspiracy be spoken out in such a public meeting? If you really say it, won't it be a leak?

Liu Bei and Lu Bu in the east were brought over in this way, and Yuan Shu in the south was also brought in hastily, and then there were internal affairs issues. At this time, just like the original historical process, Zao You, Han Hao and others proposed to Cao Cao to carry out a large-scale tuntian to enrich the national strength, and when deciding who should be in charge of the tuntian, everyone's eyes invariably looked at Lu Ren.

Although Lu Ren had been mentally prepared for this, he suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, and he still felt very uncomfortable all over his body. Reluctantly stabilized his posture and drank again, Lu Ren straightened up during the banquet, and bowed to Cao Cao: "The matter of storing grain in Tuntian is the foundation of consolidating the country, and the stakes are very high. ”

As soon as Lu Ren said this, everyone was shocked. You must know that now in Cao Cao's camp, it was Lu Ren who first proposed Tuntian and also carried out a two-year trial of Tuntian in Juancheng and Puyang, and the effect was also very good, so now everyone has decided that the person in charge of Tuntian should be Lu Ren, but Lu Ren intends to resign, which is not unexpected by everyone?

If no one else said it, Cao Cao's face immediately hung with displeasure. But Cao Cao has always advocated that his staff should dare to speak out, like Cao Cao After using Guo Jia's legacy to get Karasuma, he rewarded those officials who initially opposed Cao Cao to fight Karasuma, and also said, "Go alone, take advantage of the danger to get lucky, although you get it, heaven will support it, and you can't take it for granted." The advice of the kings, the plan of all peace, is to reward each other, and it is not difficult to say it later", it can be seen that Cao Cao encouraged his staff to say it. Therefore, although Lu Ren's words made Cao Cao a little unhappy now, he still motioned for Lu Ren to speak out.

Lu Ren dared to say such things now, of course, he was very aware of Cao Cao's style, and he had already made corresponding preparations. Now seeing Cao Cao signaling himself to say something, Lu Ren ignored the chaotic gazes sent by Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and said unhurriedly: "I'm not afraid of you making fun of me, in fact, I'm very lazy." I used to seem to be very diligent, but in fact, I had to be diligent because I was afraid of losing my head. In the past, I was only in charge of the tuntian of one place and one county, and I could barely cope with it, but now I have to manage so many places and so many people, I can't manage it, and I am more likely to miss national affairs because of laziness. ”

Everyone was speechless. In fact, the ancients have never lacked self-deprecation, self-humility, and even self-spilling sewage, but it is really rare to have such a self-decontamination method as Lu Ren......
