The 208th Visit
Relatively peaceful times always fly by.
Lu Ren returned to Yizhou in March of the tenth year of Jian'an, and after experiencing a lot of messy things, the time has come to the end of the year, and after a while, it will be the first month of the new year of the eleventh year of Jian'an.
Not to mention how busy Lu Ren was at this time, anyway, it was just like that, by the time Lu Ren was busy for most of the year, many problems caused by the population surge in Yizhou last year have been gradually solved. And what Lu Ren has to do now is nothing more than to let the people of Yizhou have a good year, so that Yizhou can be further stabilized, so that Lu Ren can take a break after the spring of the eleventh year of Jian'an, and hurry up to Jingzhou to take a spin and see if he can go to Jingzhou again to get some oil and water. Because Lu Ren knew that once the time entered the twelfth year of Jian'an, with Cao Cao's current progress trend that was not much different from the original historical process, the situation at the other end of Jingzhou would become very tense, and at that time, he would not be able to go back to Jingzhou to fish in troubled waters.
Lu Ren was running around outside, and there was a quiet place in his mansion...... Minchan was transferred by Lu Ren to the Women's Army to help Lu Lingqi, and she was often not at home; Lu Lan usually follows Lu Ren's side and takes care of some trivial chores around Lu Ren; Mi Zhen doesn't need to say much, she is always running business outside. Therefore, only Cai Yan with a big belly in Lu Ren's mansion is doing the final proofreading work on Lu Ren's so-called "Easy Sword God Record" in the study.
Lu Feng and Lu Yu were born in February of the ninth year of Jian'an, and they are almost two years old now. However, the two-year-old child is not very noisy, and Lu Ren will not even be reluctant to invite a wet nurse, so when the two little children are playing with the wet nurse, Cai Yan can do these things she likes to do quietly.
On the other hand, because Lu Ren stayed in Yizhou for a long time this time. So when I have a little spare time, I will help Cai Yan supplement this pirated story from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", so now Cai Yan's "Easy Sword Immortal Record" is complete, and all Cai Yan has to do is complete the final proofreading and polishing. And in the spring of next year, Lu Ren and Shirley's long-prepared printing workshop is ready to officially publish this "Easy Sword Immortal Record".
In fact, Lu Ren and Shirley originally wanted to make up a newspaper such as a weekly newspaper or a ten-day newspaper, and "Easy Sword Immortal Record" will be published in the newspaper as a serialized work. But after Lu Ren came back this time, after thinking about it carefully, he thought that the conditions for Yizhou to tinker with such things as newspapers were not yet ripe. So in the end, it was decided to use the complete "Easy Sword Immortal Record" as the ancestor of the printing workshop.
Lu Ren made such an arrangement, and it can be regarded as using this kind of entertainment, even if there is something missing, there will be no big problem for the printing workshop to practice and add EXP. After the employees in the printing workshop had gained some experience, the next book to be officially published was "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", which had been promised to Zhang Zhongjing......
Don't go far, just say that Cai Yan was reviewing the manuscript, and the doorman suddenly came to report that Cai Yan's old man asked to see him outside the door, and it was a woman in her twenties. The doorman naturally asked about the name of the visitor, but the person said that even if his name was relayed to Cai Yan, it might not be useful, and only Cai Yan would know who she was when she saw her. The doorman did not dare to slack off. hurriedly ran over to tell Cai Yan.
Cai Yan was inexplicably troubled at that time. Because Cai Yan lived in seclusion in Chen Liu, Chen Liu's Cai family was killed and injured because Yang Feng led the Xiongnu into the customs, and Cai Yan himself was not rescued by Lu Ren at that time, and he didn't know what would have become at this time. Even if he followed Lu Ren to Xuchang later, but for many reasons, Cai Yan mostly belonged to the kind of situation where he lived in a simple place, and basically never had any dealings with anyone, and now he lives in Yizhou overseas. Where did Cai Yan come from? And it's a woman.
But since everyone said so, Cai Yan was even puzzled in his heart. Still let the doorman take the guest to the side hall first, and he will go to see it when he prepares here. After all, this kind of thing is not clear in the first place, in case it is really a clan child of Chen Liucai's clan who ran to Yizhou to defect to him, Cai Yan has to take care of it for the sake of the clan.
It is said that Cai Yan was newly pregnant in May of the tenth year of Jian'an, and it was already two months when Lu Ren sent Sun Shangxiang back to Jiangdong in July, so he found out and informed Lu Ren. It is now the end of the tenth year of Jian'an. Cai Yan was already about seven months pregnant, and it was inconvenient to move with a big belly, so it took a long time to come to the side hall. And when Cai Yan came to the side hall, the visitors were waiting quietly in the side hall, just looking at the temperament. It is not difficult to see that this visitor must be the kind of lady with good cultivation. Cai Yan searched all his memories and couldn't remember that he had such an old person, but it seemed that the figure of the person, Cai Yan felt a little familiar.
Before Cai Yan could speak, the visitor had already left the table and saluted Cai Yan with a smile: "Mrs. Cai has been gone for a long time!" After a few years, Mrs. looks the same and still has the same style, but I don't know if Mrs. still remembers me? ”
Cai Yan was stunned, and carefully dried the visitor, feeling that the appearance of the visitor in front of him was really very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing Cai Yan stunned, the visitor immediately shook his head and smiled: "Sure enough, the nobles are forgetful." However, several years have passed, and I have changed a lot, and it is reasonable that my wife will not remember it for a while. ”
Cai Yan replied embarrassedly: "Forgive Cai Yan for being rude." Dare to ask Miss Fang's name? ”
The visitor smiled again: "I have been married for many years, and I really can't afford to be called Miss." Madam, I don't want to be mysterious, my surname is Zhang. ”
"Your surname is Zhang? Yes! ”
Cai Yan suddenly recalled at this time, and pointed at the visitor in surprise: "You, you are Zhang!?" ”
The visitor smiled and nodded, and Cai Yan was also pleasantly surprised at this time. This Zhang family can really be regarded as Cai Yan's old man, it was still a woman Cai Yan took in when he was in Xuchang, and because of his literacy and literacy, he became an assistant to help Cai Yan sort out the literature at that time, and the relationship with Cai Yan was very close, and it can even be said that Zhang's status in Lu Renfu was second only to Lu Lan at that time. To make a joke, if Lu Lan at that time was Lu Ren's personal secretary, then Zhang was undoubtedly a senior white-collar worker by Cai Yan's side, and his status was not much worse than Lu Lan.
Later, Lu Ren planned to escape, and on the eve of the escape, he dismissed the ordinary waiters in the mansion, and the Zhang family was not a close figure like Lu Lan after all, and Cai Yan didn't want to involve the innocent Zhang family, so the Zhang family was among the people who were dismissed by Lu Ren, but Cai Yan left a lot of property for the Zhang family, which was also very good to the Zhang family. Next, when Lu Ren was about to burn the literature in the study, Zhang stayed in the study to take care of the documents, and even wanted to stop Lu Ren's book burning. However, under Lu Ren's threat, the Zhang family could only leave Lu Ren's mansion helplessly.
After that, Zhang's whereabouts will be gone, and where can Lu Ren and Cai Yan care about inquiring about such a number one dismissed person? So now that the Zhang family suddenly appeared in front of Cai Yan, Cai Yan was naturally surprised. But there is one thing, that is, until now, Lu Ren and Cai Yan have not known the true identity of this Zhang family at all......
――――――――――――――――――――
Night was approaching, and Lu Ren returned to Fudi after a busy day. casually asked about the situation at home, and the waiter told Lu Ren that Cai Yan was chatting with the old guests in the backyard.
There are guests at home to visit, Lu Ren doesn't think it's strange, but when he heard that he is Cai Yan's old friend, Lu Ren is also a little inexplicable, after all, what is Cai Yan's situation, Lu Ren is very clear. So as soon as he heard that it was Cai Yan's old man, Lu Ren also rushed to Cai Yan to see who this old man was.
When the two sides met, Lu Ren couldn't help but be amazed, and then said with a smile that since the Zhang family had come to Yizhou, of course Lu Ren and Cai Yan would settle the Zhang family well...... In a word, Lu Ren habitually thinks that the Zhang family must have come to Yizhou to defect to Cai Yan, but Cai Yan also needs an assistant to take care of the literature, and is there a more suitable person than the Zhang family at the moment?
But then Zhang's words made Lu Ren slightly surprised: "Thank you Lu Fushu and Mrs. for your kindness, it's just that the concubine came to Yizhou on the ship of the Xuzhou caravan this time, and she didn't come to join Mrs. It's because the concubine has an old relationship with the two, so I came here on behalf of my husband, hoping to negotiate some business dealings with Lu Servant. ”
Lu Ren was also stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and then said with a smile after drying Zhang up and down again: "I forgot, with your appearance and knowledge, it is not difficult to find a good husband." ”
Zhang covered his mouth and chuckled: "Lu Servant is still shooting as it was at the beginning...... It's okay to say you're flamboyant, right? ”
Lu Ren smiled and shook his head. This Zhang family can be regarded as his own family, and the Zhang family has long been surprised by the problems that Lu Ren had when he was in Xuchang, and occasionally made some jokes like this. Now, after a few years, I have seen each other, and I feel a little close to hearing such a joke.
At this time, Zhang's face turned to Cai Yan, and his face was full of envy: "Once upon a time, the concubine also thought that she was a beautiful and wealthy person, but compared with her wife, she was not even a fart. And in the past few years, the concubine is no longer beautiful and old, but the lady is still so young and beautiful, almost the same as when she was in Xudu. With these alone, I don't know how many women in the world can be envied and died. ”
Lu Ren smiled. Today's Lu Ren is not the stupid boy he was at the beginning, and he can hear that Zhang said that although there are sincere envy in it, there is also a compliment, in order to make himself feel more comfortable here, have more good feelings in his heart, and then talk about it better when he talks about business.
All in all, this Zhang is a very good talker. And such people are generally not easy to deal with...... (To be continued.) )
