Chapter 127 Before the Storm
"But the pawn really has a reluctant request now."
Lu Ren looked at Li Dian curiously: "If Man Cheng has something to say, just say it directly, what is polite between you and me." ”
Li Dian glanced at Wan'er a little embarrassed, and then looked back at Lu Ren: "I remember that when I was in the camp with Lu Ren in the past, I could enjoy the rhythm of Brother Lu and Miss Wan'er from time to time, especially when I listened to a few songs at dusk every day, the fatigue of the day would dissipate." But since Brother Lu was transferred to Puyang, this camp has ...... Alas, don't say it. ”
Lu Ren immediately understood what Li Dian meant. Thinking about it, there was a lack of cultural and entertainment activities in those years, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the gentlemen of the team, were so bored that they went to steal other people's brides to play when they were teenagers, and Lu Ren didn't get the basketball out under Xun Yu's reminder at that time? It's a pity that I was too busy when I was with Li Dian in Tuntian, and of course I'm just as busy now, so I don't have much time to cultivate some art troupes or something.
At this moment, in the face of Li Dian's request, of course Lu Ren would not refuse, so he turned his head and smiled at Wan'er and nodded.
Lu Ren smiled awkwardly and gave Wan'er a look. Wan'er understood, bit her lip and got up to get the flute in the carriage, returned to the seat and saluted Li Dianyingying: "Captain Li, Wan'er is ugly." ”
Li Dian hurriedly replied: "Miss Wan'er, please!" ”
The bamboo flute came to Wan'er's lips, and the soft and melodious flute music sounded in the field. Coincidentally, the tree next to the seat is a peach blossom tree, and the breeze will always bring down a few peach petals after the flute sounds, and slowly fall to Wan'er's body, which invisibly adds a very special charm to this musical, beautiful, and more beautiful scenery.
At the end of the song, Li Dian seemed to wake up in a dream, stroked his palms and smiled: "It's worth the trip!" Brother Lu, Miss Wan'er, take care! ”
Saying goodbye to each other, Li Dianfu reminded Lu Ren again: "Brother Lu, be careful!" ”
Lu Ren nodded lightly and watched Li Dian get on his horse and leave. It's just that Lu Ren didn't know that this scene was secretly remembered by a few "passers-by" with a heart.

At night, the Tian family mansion in Puyang City.
"Did any of you find any useful information?"
"Returning home, there are ten official tuns outside the city, each of which has three or four thousand people, and each tun has five hundred garrisons, which are very well guarded. And in the middle of Shitun, Han Hao led 3,000 troops to respond in the middle, and he could rescue each tun at any time......"
Tian Shu waved her hand impatiently: "That's not what I want to hear!" ”
Tian Shu is not a stupid guy, if he wants to take a group of domestic slaves or something to fight against Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, he just has the heart and the guts. So his purpose is to rectify Lu Ren, and it is best to make Lu Ren grief-stricken and worse than dead, but not to offend Cao Cao.
And at this moment, someone immediately responded: "Lu Ren has a delicate maid by his side called Wan'er, it is said that Lu Ren likes this maid Wan'er very much, although she is usually commensurate with the main servant, but in fact, she is forbidden." ”
Tian Shu said "oh", this news was a little useful to him: "How was Wan'er born?" ”
"When I went out of the city a few days ago to inquire about the news, I unexpectedly saw it once, this Wan'er is quite beautiful, has excellent charm, and is well versed in music and rhythm, and plays a good flute. After returning to the city, Xiao deliberately inquired, and found out that Cao Ang, the eldest son of General Cao, also liked this daughter very much, and once said to Lu Renyan that he was willing to exchange several names for this Wan'er. Lu Ren not only refused, but almost hanged herself in a troubled manner. ”
Tian Shu was surprised and said, "Then Lu Ren likes this maid Wan'er so much?" Even Cao Ang likes it very much? Well...... Stand down, I'm going to think about it. ”
After pacing in the hall for more than a dozen laps, Tian Shu sneered gloomily: "If this woman is a neighbor's house, what if I just rush into the house?" Who in Puyang City would dare to go against me just for a maid? But this Lu Ren ...... Hum! On the surface, I can't mess with him, otherwise it will only be a fire, but in secret......
"This Wan'er is even favored by Cao Ang, the eldest son of the Cao family, Cao Zixiu, if I try to capture it and then transfer it to that Cao Ang, wouldn't I be able to use this to make friends with Cao Ang? Aren't you Lu Ren the Puyang Order under Cao Cao's account? If the eldest son of the Cao family is co-opted by me, what splash can you make?
"When it comes to this Wan'er, it sounds like a beauty. Anyway, I want to give it to Cao Ang, so it's okay for me to taste it before sending it out. Since you are Lu Ren's pet and forbidden body, can you still be a complete body? Lu Ren, I see how crazy you can be! ”
The plan in his heart was decided, Tian Shu clapped his hands, called a henchman slave, and after a few words of low command, the slave took advantage of the night to leave Puyang City.
————————————————————
In a blink of an eye, a few days later, there was a rice camp near the river outside Puyang City.
"Is this going out into the fields, Lord?"
Lu Ren tidied up the short clothes on his body and nodded to Wan'er with a smile. Wan'er came to help Lu Ren pull up a few places that had not been tidied up, and said with a smile: "Don't be too tired, Lord. This tun is near the river, and Wan'er can just wash the clothes that have been changed, so she will not accompany the lord to go to the field to inspect. ”
Lu Ren smiled and nodded, anyway, now that there are two little kids around Lu Cheng and Lu Xin who can help run errands or something, there is really no need for Wan'er to follow him all the time. At a glance, I saw the little Lori Lu Lan who was also going to follow her to patrol the field, but for no reason she remembered the little she overheard that night, and immediately waved her hand to Lu Lan and said: "Lan girl, you follow Wan'er, even if you can't wash the clothes, you can help your Sister Wan'er move the washed clothes back to dry, and save your Sister Wan'er from running back and forth." ”
Lu Lan didn't think too much about it, and responded obediently. At that moment, Lu Ren summoned Lu Cheng and Lu Xin, and took a step towards the field. As soon as they arrived in the fields, the people who were working greeted Lu Ren very respectfully, and their respectful attitude made Lu Ren feel a little surprised for a while, because now these people have a much better attitude towards him than before.
In fact, this is also something that Lu Ren didn't react to. That day, he slapped Tian Gao with the soles of straw sandals, not only for himself, but also for many residents to relieve their bad anger.
In fact, many times things are like this, whether you can get the respect of others is not only about how many things or benefits you give to others, but also depends on whether you can make others feel good. Lu Ren's slap on the soles of his straw shoes that day was to help the people of the tun to smooth the evil spirit in their hearts.
In later generations, some scholars said that Chinese people generally have such a few dreams in their hearts, the first is the dream of Mingjun, hoping to have a wise and martial monarch to lead everyone to live a good life; The second is the dream of a clean official, if the monarch is not good but the parents on the head are good, everyone's life can be better; The third is the chivalrous dream, that is, when the monarch and officials are not good, they hope that there will be a chivalrous man with strong martial arts who can fight with a sword, kill corrupt officials and bullies, and give the people a bad anger in their hearts. If you don't have any of these, you can only joke and read martial arts novels.
The current Lu Ren actually did the second one unintentionally, and even the third one was touched. And when this news spread in the camps everywhere, the people of the tun will naturally respect this chivalrous Qing official a little more.
In any case, if the attitude of the tun people towards Lu Ren becomes better, then it will be of great benefit to Lu Ren's work of tuntian farming, and Lu Ren is also happy to see such a situation. In his heart, under some fluttering circumstances, Lu Ren was smiling all the way to the past, and from time to time he would give a fist to the tun people and salute, showing that he was more amiable. And according to Lu Ren's thoughts, I really want to shout a few times now, "Hello comrades; Comrades, hard work"...... Of course, Lu Ren didn't dare to shout like that.
didn't mention how complacent Lu Ren was in the field, but said that Wan'er took Lu Lan to the river, and when she raised her eyes, she saw many other peasant women washing clothes by the river. And as soon as these peasant women saw Wan'er coming, several people immediately greeted them:
"Miss Wan'er is also here to make laundry!"
"Put it down, put it down, we'll wash it for you."
"That's it, Miss Wan'er is such a delicate and delicate lady, don't wash your hands roughly."
……
Facing the "siege" of a group of peasant women, Wan'er was also caught off guard, and protected the wardrobe in a panic: "No, no, Wan'er is not a lady, just an ordinary maid, doing these things is a duty, I dare not bother everyone......"
But before Wan'er finished speaking, these peasant women who were washing clothes were already stretching out their arms in a mess, and they snatched all the dirty clothes in Wan'er's basin by dividing them by two: "Miss Wan'er, you can rest, we will help you wash it!" ”
Wan'er's smile froze on her face, she looked at the empty wooden basin in her arms, and said to the peasant women with some embarrassment: "It can't be like this! When you look back, the Lord will probably blame Wan'er! ”
A peasant woman laughed evilly: "Where will it be! Who doesn't know that Captain Lu has always cared for Miss Wan'er? Where would you be willing to blame Miss Wan'er? ”
Wan'er shook her head, and said very seriously: "The Lord once said that you can't bully others just because you are an official......"
In fact, where would Lu Ren not know about this kind of thing? Speaking of which, this is also a little selfishness on Lu Ren's part, he knows that he is a little too spoiled and accustomed to Wan'er. And if Wan'er is really pampered in everything, maybe after a long time, Wan'er will lose her original peaceful and approachable state of mind, then Wan'er will not be Wan'er. Compared with the so-called ladies of the family, Lu Ren still prefers the graceful jasper of the small family.
But how can these peasant women understand this, and they said nonsense: "No, no, it's just to help Captain Lu and Sister Wan'er wash a few clothes, it's not a big deal, and we are also voluntary." ”
"That's it, besides, we are all people who have no food to eat and no way to live, if it weren't for Captain Lu taking us to Tuntian and borrowing official food to fill our stomachs, we wouldn't know where to be homeless at this time."
"Also, when the Tian clan wanted to bully others, it was Captain Lu who made the decision for us. In these days, there are not many good officials like Captain Lu. It's only right that we can do something for Captain Lu. ”
In the face of the gossip of a group of peasant women, Wan'er really couldn't resist, so she had to take Lu Lan to do some hands-on work on the side. However, in Wan'er's heart, hearing everyone praise Lu Ren like this, Wan'er's heart was also sweet......
