"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah...... No, nothing, maybe, maybe I was frightened, I haven't been able to ......."

Lu Ren looked at Wan'er, suddenly stretched out his arms and pulled Wan'er into his arms, and sighed softly: "My stupid wife! Scared before, right? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, and your husband and I are here! ”

Wan'er was stunned: "Wife? ”

Lu Ren paused and said with a smile: "It's the local dialect of my hometown." Between husband and wife, the husband calls his wife 'wife' and the wife calls her husband 'husband'. It sounds a bit vulgar, but if you add a word to each one, it will become 'old man, old woman', which is also a secret prayer for the old age together. But to be honest, I never wanted to be a big official, as long as I could live a peaceful and happy life with my family and loved ones. ”

Wan'er stared at Lu Ren with a pair of wonderful eyes, almost without blinking her eyelids, for a while before she said softly: "Lord, I, I ......"

"What's wrong?"

Wan'er was silent for a moment, and then glanced at Cai Yan, who was walking outside the pavilion...... Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cai Yan deliberately stayed away from the grass pavilion at this time, so that Lu Ren and Wan'er had a space to stay in the grass pavilion. Seeing Cai Yan like this, Wan'er finally couldn't help but say the words from the bottom of her heart: "Lord, is Wan'er really suitable to stay by the Lord's side?" ”

“…… What are you thinking about, girl? How many times have I said before and after, you are the only person I will miss here. ”

Wan'er said: "But I think Sister Cai ...... her"

Lu Ren interrupted Wan'er's words: "It's different. Let's put it this way, with Wen Ji's identity and fame, even if I am not by her side, there are still people who will take care of her, not to mention that I have left a lot of property for her, and she can live a peaceful life. But what about you? In terms of identity alone, you are just a maid, if I am not by your side. I don't know how many people will blatantly bully you in this hellish place, so where can I settle down when the time comes? ”

At this point, Lu Ren paused, sighed heavily, and then continued: "Let's make it clear, your sister Cai is the daughter of Cai Zhonglang after all, and the candidates like Cao Gong and Yuan Shao, but anyone who wants to save face will take care of her, and after I leave, even if it is 10,000 steps back, they will find you Sister Cai a good husband, so your Sister Cai will have no worries in the future."

"But what about you? Do you think that Cao Gong and Yuan Shao will care about the life and death of an ordinary maid? It's a bit ugly to say. That's why I don't want to say it because I'm afraid I'll hurt you. But for now, I think it's better to say it. Oh my silly boy! Without me, you'd be nothing in this damn place! ”

Wan'er didn't respond, but silently lowered her head. She is very simple and kind, but to say that she has no selfishness in her little daughter's family, it is really unreasonable, and although Wan'er is so cute and cute, she is definitely not stupid. Precisely because of this. She knew very well that although what Lu Ren had just said was harsh and ugly, it was a real truth. And out of the selfishness of her youngest daughter's family, why didn't she want to stay by Lu Ren's side all the time?

To be exact, Wan'er is a typical selfishness. But not so selfish. Because of selfishness, she will look forward to leaving with Lu Ren; But because he is not so selfish, he hopes that the people who follow Lu Ren can help Lu Ren like Cai Yan. Someone who doesn't cause any trouble to Lu Ren. This mentality seems to be very contradictory, but in fact, there are never fewer contradictions in anyone's life, Wan'er is just an ordinary girl. Where can there be an exception?

Because of these contradictions, Wan'er couldn't say a word for a long time, and Lu Ren didn't say anything, just hugged Wan'er, because Lu Ren felt that what Wan'er needed most at this time was her own comfort, and at the same time, she could stop thinking so crankily.

However, this very warm scene was suddenly ruined by a very embarrassing "chirping" sound. And Wan'er leaned on Lu Ren's arms, this voice was heard most clearly, and immediately broke away from Lu Ren's hands, pointed to Lu Ren's belly and said, "I forgot, you are still ...... Lord"

Lu Ren was extremely embarrassed to reach out and rub his abdomen, and said with a wry smile: "Yes! As soon as I came back today, I was busy and didn't have time to eat, and finally you came to bring me food, but I ran into this incident of the Yellow Book, so I haven't eaten a mouthful of food until now. It just so happens that I'm in a very unhappy mood right now, so I turn my grief and anger into appetite! ”

“……”

Wan'er can only smile at this. At this time, Lu Ren felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't want to move, so he simply asked Wan'er to take the food box, and played a picnic with Wan'er and Cai Yan here, which could be regarded as relaxing.

While eating in his mouth, Lu Ren's heart couldn't help but think about today's events. After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Ren shook his head secretly, and said secretly in his heart: "This matter, it's better to do what it should be...... At least I have such a move today, which can be regarded as an explanation to Lao Cao.

"Besides, Liu Bei borrowed troops to escape from Xuchang, in addition to me, there are also people who will go to Cao Cao to make suggestions, I will make it clear to Lao Cao what I should say, and I won't blame me with Lao Cao's temper. And in the original historical process, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu led troops to chase but couldn't catch up, I just played such a trick to stop Liu Bei but couldn't stop it, and you Lao Cao has no reason to blame me.

"It's the other way around, Liu Bei...... Hmph, I'm also a typical person who talks about people and ghosts, Liu Bei is a smart person, and he won't be stupid enough to poke me out, because that won't do him any good, after all, he needs the person on the bloody edict to be his internal response here in Xuchang. And this matter, if he pokes it out, it won't be good for him, and there is some hope if he doesn't poke it out, so with Liu Bei's cleverness, he won't poke it out, and even if he is full and has nothing to poke out, there is no evidence to me.

"Hmm...... There should be no problem, and then Liu Bei is afraid of my relationship, and I believe that he will not embarrass Mi Zhen. I just don't know how many people and money and things Mi Zhen has at hand when Liu Bei raises troops. Forget it, it's useless for me to take care of the things I can't take care of, so let's take care of myself here first. ”

————————————————————

When Lu Ren finished the picnic and returned to Xuchang City, it was already sunset. dismissed the messy people at the city gate, and Lu Ren took Wan'er and Cai Yan back to the house to rest. I asked the relevant personnel by the way, and I also learned that Cao Cao went out of the city to hunt, and he has not come back yet...... At that time, when rich families went out of the city to hunt, they lived outside for two or three days, which was really common, and when Lu Ren first came to Xuchang, he still lived in Cao Cao's hunting villa.

When I returned to the mansion and sat down in the study, before I had time to drink a sip of water, someone came to report that someone claimed to be Lu Ren's old friend and wanted to see Lu Ren. Lu Ren felt funny when he heard it, and said in his heart, when did I come up with so many old people? When he was dismissed from his official position and stayed in Meng Village before, why didn't any old people come to him? Even Lu Ren, who was carrying it, remembered Hua Tuo, who was his old friend, didn't he come to him to get a recommendation?

I want to say that I can't say it, and then I think it doesn't seem good. Up to now, Lu Ren has been mixed up for more than six years, and there are not a few people he has met before and after, and maybe he really met someone when he met him. Wouldn't it be annoying if he ran into someone who used a pseudonym, and turned around and poured some dirty water on Lu Ren in the market? Lu Ren will be able to wear it back in another half a year, plus the incident between him and Liu Bei today, he really doesn't want to accidentally offend some villains at this time, and then add some unnecessary trouble to himself, so he waved his hand and said, "Please come in." ”

After a short time, the doorman led a person with an ordinary appearance and dress to Lu Ren. As soon as he said a few polite words, Lu Ren felt that this person should not have known him, at least he had seen it but did not remember. And such a situation is not surprising to Lu Ren today, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

After chatting a few more words, the man took out a scroll of letters from his arms and handed it to Lu Ren respectfully: "My master has a letter to send, please take a closer look at Lu Servant." ”

"Your head of the house?"

Lu Ren was curious. It is said that Lu Ren at this time is the head of the clan who knows a lot, but either he has no contact, or he is a person like Xun Yu and Guo Jia who can meet and talk, and it seems that no one will use letters to communicate like this. With this bit of curiosity, Lu Ren started to check the letter. But after just a few glances, Lu Ren was startled, and almost didn't throw out the scroll of silk in his hand.

"Nima! Are you kidding? This letter was actually written to me by Yuan Shao! ”

Almost subconsciously, Lu Ren wanted to throw away the messenger in his hand, and then called someone to come in and take down the messenger sent by Yuan Shao. But when his hands were raised and his words came to his mouth, Lu Ren stopped suddenly. With a very hesitant mood, Lu Ren looked at the messenger in front of him with a calm expression, and then unfolded the messenger and looked at it for a while, and then ordered someone to lead the messenger to the guest room to rest, and at the same time let the attendant entertain him, not to neglect the other party.

Yuan Shao would write to himself, which was both unexpected but not surprising to Lu Ren. Yuan Shao's previous begging to send Lu Ren to Hebei, Lu Ren actually knew it for a long time. After all, it is impossible to conceal this kind of public court expression, even if Cao Cao wants to hide it, Yuan Shao will not let Cao Cao hide it. Of course, Lu Ren didn't have the idea of going to Yuan Shao, and in turn, Cao Cao would not let Lu Ren go, so it didn't make sense to hide it from Lu Ren...... (To be continued......)
