The 285th round of the expedition to Xiapi
"When you win, you should move, and when you lose, you should move. If Cao Gong fails to get rid of Lu Bu, when Lu Bu returns to Xuzhou in the future, my Mi clan will not be able to escape. ”
Hearing Mi Zhu's words, Lu Ren couldn't help but bow his head and sigh: "Lu Bu, this guy really has to die...... That's it, let's not talk about this. Brother Zizhong, Chen Changwen is willing to go out, I can finally pull out, and the grain and grass in Xuzhou City have been counted, and in three days, you and I will escort the grain and grass to help fight together. ”
Hearing Lu Ren mention Chen Qun, Mi Zhu also remembered that he came here to ask what Chen Qun was here for yesterday, so he asked Lu Ren tactfully.
Lu Ren said with a smile: "The movement made by your Mi clan is so big, will the Chen clan come to probe the wind?" When I heard that I persuaded you to prepare to move to Langya, the Chen family thought that I was actually towards them. In fact, where would the Chen family not want to become an official? If you refused to go out before, you weren't afraid that you and I would join forces to rectify them? Now that I heard that you and I are leaving Xuzhou, if he doesn't hurry up and seize the opportunity to become officials, then they are still a fart family! ”
"Chen's ......" Mi Zhu shook his head silently.
Lu Ren looked at the sugarcane in the courtyard that had been squeezed out, and the last pot of sugar was about to be cooked, so he instructed the Lu family in the courtyard to pack up all the things, so as not to leave any traces that would make people distinguish the raw materials. No way, the secret ingredient of those years was money.
Turning around, Lu Ren said to Mi Zhu again: "Brother Zizhong, the things you see today must not be spread in Xuzhou, and I myself just let the children of the Lu family around me do these things." As for the secret recipe for making sugar, when the time is right, I will ask Xiaozhen to pass it on to the people in your clan who are going to move to Yizhou. ”
"Zhu understands......" Mi Zhu nodded lightly, but his eyes rolled a few times, and a thing that had been hanging on his mind finally came out: "Yihao, I want to ask, what is the relationship between you and my little sister?" If there is anything to be done, would you like to marry her? One is also a matter of my heart, and the other is that if you marry her, it can also be regarded as a marriage between the two clans of Lu Mi as a relative......"
Lu Ren's face immediately became ugly, and he couldn't help but reach out and scratch his scalp and say, "Brother Zizhong, what do you want me to say?" What's this...... Alas, let's be honest, you should know who I am, you think I don't want to deal with your baby girl? But the question is...... There are some things I know I can't do. Again, what kind of temperament Xiaozhen is, Brother Zizhong, you should know far better than me. In fact, the most important thing is that now you and I are on the cusp of the storm, if something happens between me and her, it will be difficult for you and me to be in-laws, but we will become enemies because of this! The last ...... I'm already married to Akihime! Even if you are willing to stuff Xiaozhen to my side, she may not be willing to be my concubine, she is not Wan'er! ”
By the way, in ancient China, it was not polygamy as later generations said, but monogamy and polyconcubinage. At the same time, the children born to the wife are concubines, and the children born to concubines are concubines. For example, in the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is a descendant, and Yuan Shao is a concubine, so Yuan Shu will look down on Yuan Shao extraordinarily, and even say that Yuan Shao is "the queen of my family". And the status of wives and concubines, it is needless to say.
Mi Zhu is not a stupid person, of course he understands the importance of these things. And after thinking clearly, he could only shake his head and sigh.
Lu Ren didn't say much, so he could only turn his head and look at the courtyard. And under this look, Lu Ren looked at the sacks by the stove, and then remembered something, and hurriedly instructed the Lu family's disciples: "Help me pack two small bags out of the open bag, I still have a use!" ”
The Lu family took the order, and Lu Ren said to Mi Zhu again: "Can you give me some beeswax?" I'm going to make two things to spare. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Lu Renyin said with a smile: "No way, I don't know martial arts, but I'm going to really go to the battlefield soon, and I don't feel sure if I don't prepare a few life-saving things by my side." Alas, as soon as I talk about this, I think of my telescope......"
――――――――――――――――――――
A few days later, outside the city of Xiapi, in the camp of the Cao army.
Lu Ren, who had arrived here with a large amount of grain and grass, had just laid down for a while in the tent that had not been erected for a while, when Guo Jia's voice sounded outside the tent: "Brother Yihao, I'm here!" ”
Before Lu Ren got up here, Guo Jia had already opened the tent door and stepped into the tent. And Guo Jia didn't even say hello to Lu Ren when he entered the account, and people looked around there to find something. Seeing this, Lu Ren smiled dumbly, and slowly sat up from the couch and said to Guo Jia: "Hey, hey, hey, don't look for Lao Guo, I'm from Xuzhou this time, and I don't have any wine to bring." Besides, what kind of place is this? According to military regulations, you can't drink alcohol......"
"Go, go, my lord is in the army, but he often drinks secretly, and you don't know it, and from time to time he will secretly give me some alcohol to relieve my addiction. This matter, as long as I don't drink too much and don't get down to business, what are you worried about? ”
Guo Jia said so in his mouth, his eyes and hands and feet were still looking back and forth in Lu Ren's tent. However, after looking for a while, Guo Jia found nothing, and said disappointed and frustrated: "It seems that there is really no ...... I said, Yihao, is there any good wine? If so, can you take it out quickly? When the army was leaving, the wine I brought out from Xuzhou tasted nothing, and the birds in my mouth were about to fade out these days! ”
"The fading bird is coming...... Lu Ren reached out and scratched his head dumbly, and said in his heart that the nonsense words that occasionally came out of his mouth, Guo Jia was the fastest learner. However, after scratching his scalp a few times, Lu Ren still shook his head at Guo Jia and said, "Old Guo, don't stare at me like this, okay?" I really don't have it here! The wine you want to drink is only available in Xu Du at the moment. And even though I'm a grain officer now, it's impossible for Xu Du to send you wine, right? The ones you gave you when I was in Xuzhou before you drank so fast that the three times five divided by two were all gone, and I didn't know how to keep some and drink slowly. ”
Guo Jia thought about it and really reasoned about it, and for a while, he was extremely depressed and hugged his arms and said in a muffled voice: "I thought you would ask Miss Mi to send more wine...... Alas, there is no way, it seems that you can only drink those tasteless wines at the moment! ”
Lu Ren skimmed: "If you just want to have some taste in your mouth, I'll have something else for you......"
"Then you don't hurry up!!" Guo Jia almost roared.
Lu Ren smiled, went out of the tent and gave a few orders to the Lu family members who were standing outside the tent, and after a while, a table was set up in the tent to eat. The things he ate were actually dried meat, dried vegetables and other dry food, Guo Jia didn't care much, and the drink in the center of the table caught Guo Jia's attention. Some couldn't wait to scoop up a full cup, and after a shallow sip, Guo Jia frowned and said, "What is this?" The taste is sweet, but it's also a little weird. ”
Lu Ren smiled: "How about trying to pour a big cup in one go?" ”
Guo Jia looked at Lu Ren with a bit of suspicion, and tasted the sweetness of Fang Cai in his mouth, and suddenly laughed: "Try it!" Could it be that I am still afraid that you will not be able to drug in wine? ”
After speaking, Guo Jia raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, and after pouring his belly, he raised his sleeve to wipe his lips and smiled: "Strange, weird!" Isn't this a bar? But it's really ...... to pour it in one go. It's cool! ”
Lu Ren just wanted to answer, but Guo Jia suddenly gave a big hiccup, squirting out a big gas. In the etiquette of the ancients, it was quite rude to burp like this, and Guo Jia had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face for a while. However, looking at Lu Ren with a wicked smile on his face, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, raised his fist and shook Lu Ren and said, "You actually dare to fix me!?" But then again, what the hell is this? A large cup is poured into the stomach in one gulp, which is strangely comfortable. Belch!! "Another hiccup.
Lu Ren scratched his head, and said in his heart that this was when I went to Mi's Grange a few days ago to do business, I found a lot of edible alkali powder from Mi's from Mi's, and made some soda on a whim, and added some sugar to turn it into home-made soda, but the question is how to explain to Guo Jia what "soda" or "cola" and "sprite" are?
After thinking about it, he didn't bother to explain, so he said nonsense: "Brewing is time-consuming and requires food, and it is easy to have accidents when drunk, so you can't drink alcohol in military battles." This is something I made by accident, so I call it a 'fake sake' because it doesn't get intoxicating and gives people a bit of alcohol. False here does not mean "false", but rather substitution.
"Fake ......" Guo Jia was made crying and laughing, pointing at Lu Ren and scolding with a smile: "You kid is this virtue!" Can't you choose a nice name? It makes sense that you called a fruit wine 'Champagne' and the wine owner called it 'Hero's Tears', so you might as well let me name it. ”
"Whatever you want!"
Guo Jia tilted his head and thought for a while, but shook his head and said, "I can't think of any wine and no inspiration." It's up to you, let's call it fake wine first! ”
"Poof-" Lu Ren squirted out a mouthful of sugared soda.
Guo Jia snorted coldly, squinted at Lu Ren for a while before saying: "Stinky boy, you have never known about military affairs, so why don't you stay in Xuzhou City honestly, what are you doing when you are full and have nothing to do on the battlefield in Xiapi?" You can't mix any military merits here, so you honestly stay in Xuzhou to raise some grain and grass. ”
Lu Ren hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't say the rest of the words, I know what you mean." In fact, when I reported to Cao Gong in the big tent, I peeked at Cao Gong's face, how ugly and ugly it was. If it weren't for Liu Bei's gang, Cao Gong would have scolded me a long time ago. ”
Guo Jia said: "You should know the original intention of the lord to leave you in Xuzhou City, right?" Then you don't play your strengths in Xuzhou, what are you doing here? I know you don't want to make any merit, but you can't go against your lord's will! ”
Lu Ren shrugged his shoulders, he had already guessed that Cao Cao was not good at directly blaming him in this situation, so he secretly instructed Guo Jia to scold him a few words, and then bomb him back to Xuzhou. However, Lu Ren had already thought about how to deal with it, and immediately deliberately put on a bitter face, saying those things that he had prepared before, such as "I have a bad reputation among the Xuzhou scholars, and it is inconvenient for me to have the right to lead the state, and if I insist on forcing it, it will be a cause for chaos".
In addition, of course, it focuses on the two things of coaxing the Mi family to Langya and pulling Chen Qun out to be an official. However, in Lu Ren's mouth, the Mi family's relocation became "Liu Xuande lost Xuzhou, and the money and food were all thanks to the Mi family's giving, and if the Mi family was from Xu Shi, it would be no less than breaking Liu Xuande's arm." As for the matter of winning over the Chen family, there has been no change, it is a meaning to win over the local wealthy families......
