The bright moon hung high, the dark clouds swirled, and there were faint bursts of ape and crane howls in the forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lujiazhuang is full of green bamboos and lush forests. Zhuang Qian Lian Long, Tian Lianqian Mo. Although the night is deep and there is no one outside the village, a few people can still imagine the pastoral scene of men and women weaving and harvesting mulberry and hemp during the day.

Lu Yi finally witnessed this kind of self-sufficient small-scale peasant life in ancient times. In fact, it is as simple as a small farmer in this Lu family, and from the scale of the manor, it can be regarded as a wealthy and large landowner in Sizhou, where Gyeonggi is located.

The owner of this Lujiazhuang, Lu Bohao, was originally from Chenggao County, Henan County. Chenggao is the place where Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the overlord of Western Chu met to fight for the city, and in later generations, it was the place where Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, fought against Dou Jiande, and Yue Fei, the general of the Song Dynasty, broke the golden soldiers, and it has always been a place where soldiers must fight. And the famous Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass in this era are located in Chenggao.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Boyu moved here from Chenggao to take refuge, and in a few years, he actually created such a family business, which made Lu Yida admire. However, since Lu Boxuan and Cao Cao's father, Taiwei Cao Teng, are old friends, they must not be ordinary people. After all, things gather by like, people by groups, can be friends with Cao Teng, one of the three princes, where will it be simple?

Lujiazhuang was brightly lit because Cao Cao and the three of them came, but the head of the family, Lu Bohao, was not at home, and he heard that he went out to meet friends. The three who were responsible for receiving Cao Cao, Lu Yi, and Chen Gong were the five sons of Lu Bohao.

After the three of them reported the name of the assassin, they followed the maidservant to the main hall of Lu Zhuang, where Lu Bohao's eldest son, Lu Bo, was waiting for them, accompanied by other children of the Lu family.

In ancient times, if it was three brothers, it was called "Meng Zhongji" or "Bo Zhongji", such as Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, whose real name was Liu Ji, and his two elder brothers were Liu Bo and Liu Zhong. Zhou Wen Wang Jichang's father was Ji Li, and his two elder brothers were named Taibo and Yu Zhong.

If it is four brothers, it is called "Uncle Bo Zhong Ji"; Five brothers, "Uncle Ji Shao". Therefore, Lu Bohao's five sons were named Lu Bo, Lu Zhong, Lu Shu, Lu Ji, and Lu Shao.

In ancient times, fathers and sons should be avoided, except for some special cases, such as Bo Zhong Shu Ji. So Lu Bohao's son Lu Bo is not guilty.

After several people sat down in the guest of honor position, Lu Bo, the son of the Lu family, stood up and welcomed: "Lu Jun and Chen Jun, please take a seat." My Lu family and the Cao family are world friends, and the two of them, like Meng De, just treat this place as their own home, and there is no need to be polite. Everyone is their own. ”

Lu Bo's brothers also politely stood up and bowed, making both Lu Yi and Chen Gong feel a little flattered.

Cao Cao didn't feel embarrassed, although Cao Cao and Lu Bohao's son hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years, but as Lu Bo said, the two families have been friends for generations, and there is no need to be polite. He raised the bottle and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry, but unfortunately I didn't see Uncle Lu, which is quite regrettable." ”

"My father is out to meet friends, and I'm afraid it will be three or four days before he comes back." The third son, Uncle Lu, said with a smile: "I remember that Meng De was serving as one of the eight captains of the West Garden in Luoyang, why did he suddenly want to return to the township?" ”

Cao Cao's eyes slipped when he heard this, he shook his head and waved his hand: "The eighth captain of the West Garden is already yesterday's yellow flower, the general He Jin and the captain of the military academy Jian Shuo have both died, and the forces of relatives and eunuchs have all died. How can I, Cao Cao, still be a military captain? ”

"What?" The sons of the Lu family were shocked when they heard this: "The great general He Jin has passed away?" ”

"Why, don't you know?" Chen Gong and Lu Yi were even more surprised: "This year, Emperor Xiaoling died. The general He Jin and the ten permanent servants have all been burned, and now the prince has succeeded to the throne as the new emperor, and it is Dong Zhuo of Xiliang who controls the government. ”

"It's unheard of." Several members of the Lu family were full of surprise on their faces, and Lu Bo laughed and said, "I waited to live in the countryside, but I didn't expect that I hadn't even heard of the major events in Luoyang. ”

Lu Yi was speechless. Although the communication information of this era is backward, there are only a few counties between Lujiazhuang and Luoyang City in Kyoto, and they all belong to Henan County. It would not be an exaggeration to say that transportation and information transmission are lagging behind. After all, major events such as the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing will be announced to the world, and now that half a year has passed, is it possible that a large landlord class like Lujiazhuang will not be able to know about it?

glanced at each other, but saw that Cao Cao and Chen Gong were also frowning, obviously feeling the same way.

However, Lu Yi still ate the diet of the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty for the first time, although it was not as good as that of later generations, but he still ate with relish under hunger.

During this period, the diet was still based on steaming, cooking, roasting and frying, and ordinary people only ate two meals a day, and only nobles and the elderly could eat meat. Fortunately, the Lu family is not an ordinary person, and there are big drops of meat.

On the dining table, there are several large bowls of sheep, pigs, dogs, chicken, sunflowers, leeks and other vegetables, and next to them are several rice wines, meat sauces, tempeh sauce and other condiments. Although this kind of diet is very dissatisfied with Lu Yi from later generations, it is difficult for ordinary people to eat such a sumptuous dish in their lifetime. Fortunately, it is not a great turmoil in a few years, and if it is a few years from now, the people who have been devastated by the chaos and war of the princes will even have the luxury of eating tree roots.

"When the distinguished guest comes, the little woman is lazy, and asks the brother to forgive the guest." The sound of ringing sounded, and a woman's delicate voice also quietly entered the ears.

The three of them looked away, only to see a beautiful shadow slowly stepping in, and they were all stunned for a while.

The woman's eyes were like water, but with a hint of inexplicable coldness, her hands were like soft wattles, her skin was like clotted fat, and her snow-white cheeks were charming pink. Such as Qi flower Yao grass, powdered jade; If the distant mountains are hibiscus, Wan Ting's grace.

She wore the collared skirt worn by ancient women, and due to the general popularity of deep clothes in the two Han Dynasty, underskirts were rare. The woman was dressed in a grass-green skirt, which gave a refreshing feeling.

The first to stand up was Cao Cao, the old boy's eyes lit up, and he got up in surprise and said, "Who is this girl, she is really beautiful." ”

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this Cao Cao is really as lustful as the legend, and such a naked praise can only be said by him. With contempt for Cao Cao, he turned his head and stared directly at the woman.

Lu Zhong stood up and introduced, "This is my sister Lu Mei." ”

"Lu Mei. It's so flattering. Beautiful and charming. Cao Cao smiled and said, "How did I not know that Uncle Lu actually has such a fairy and jade daughter, could it be that he came late to have a son?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Mei smiled lightly and said, "Brother Shi is really good at laughing. Turning his gaze to Chen Gong and Lu Yi, he asked confusedly, "Who are these two?" ”

"In the Chen Palace of Lower East County, the word Gongtai." When Chen Gong saw such a wonderful woman, he didn't have any extra expression, he just stood up and bowed.

"In the lower land one, the word is too one." Lu Yi also learned from Chen Gong, and Handan arched his hands in a hurry.

"Lu Lang seems to be about the same age as me?" Lu Mei pursed his lips and asked, "How can you be with Brother Cao Shi and Chen Jun?" ”

"It's just that in the vast sea of people, Pingshui just meets." Lu Yi nodded politely.

"Pingshui meeting?" Lu Mei frowned and thought about the idioms that had not yet appeared in this era, nodded and smiled: "Lu Lang is also a wonderful person. ”

"Brother Lu Shi, why didn't I know that Lu Shibo's family had such a beautiful daughter?" Cao Cao half-squinted his eyes, looking very pityful, as if he regretted that he hadn't met Lu Mei earlier.

"This pervert." Lu Yi scolded secretly in his heart: "This Cao Cao is also famous for being lustful in his life, no wonder his son, nephew, and love general died because he slept with Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law." ”

"Huh." Lu Bo smiled: "As Meng De said, this is the daughter of my father who came to have a son late, and she is an average age difference from me. ”

He was right, this Lu Bo looked a few years older than Cao Cao, and he was thinking that he was approaching forty years old. Although this Lu Mei is his younger sister, she looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Lu Mei smiled: "I heard that Brother Cao Shi served as the imperial court speaker and Xiaoqi captain in Luojing, and it was just when the clouds were shaking, how could he suddenly want to return to his hometown?" ”

"Your brother asked this question just now." Cao Cao smiled and said: "The world is chaotic, instead of being scared as an official, it is better to go back to the county to live idle." ”

Cao Cao lied, but he didn't frown. However, the brothers and sisters of the Lu family didn't say anything, after all, Cao Cao had also lived in his hometown for three years before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it was not strange to have such an example in the past.

"So, what are the next plans for Brother Shi?" Lu Mei continued to ask with interest.

"It's just farming and reading, living a life of returning to the garden." Cao Cao smiled bitterly.

"I see." Lu Bo laughed and said: "It's okay, with Meng De's talent and family background, why is it difficult for him to get the high position of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors one day?" ”

"The three of them are tired from afar, so the brothers should not continue to drink, let the three distinguished guests rest." Lu Mei suddenly smiled.

"Yes." When Lu Bo heard this, he patted his forehead and said, "It's because my brother was negligent, come here, please go to the East Wing guest room to rest." ”

"Don't blame Mengde." Lu Bo got up and patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said, "I'm tired today, let's go rest first, and we'll have a drink together tomorrow." ”

Cao Cao nodded, touched his belly and said, "I want to do what I want, and I will disturb the world brother a lot." ”

"Where-" Lu Bo waved his hand and said, "With the friendship between our Lu Cao and Cao families, what kind of polite words do you still have." ”

"In that case, let's take my leave." Cao Cao glanced at Lu Yi and Chen Gong, and the three of them got up and bowed their hands.

The three of them walked out of the main hall under the leadership of the maid and walked to the east wing guest room. When I walked outside the corridor, I found that the sky was a little darker, and the moonlight was faintly surrounded by dark clouds and black fog.

The three of them said nothing, and followed the footsteps of the maid to the east wing. The maid arranged a room for each of the three of them, but Chen Gong refused and decided to live in the same room as Cao Cao. Lu Yi didn't want the three of them to pick up soap together, so he didn't shirk and lived alone in the next room.

After Lu Yi stepped into his room, he also felt very tired. After all, today's events from saving Cao Cao, fighting Chen Palace to escaping Zhongmu and other things happened consistently, which made his spirit and body a little unbearable.

I couldn't stop the feeling of sleepiness, and I was about to faint and fall asleep, and I didn't want to hear a sudden knock on the door.

"Hell." Lu Yi secretly scolded: "Disturbing people's rest is the most immoral behavior, and the quality of these people is really worrying." ”

After putting on his coat and opening the door, he found that it was Cao Cao and Chen Gong standing there.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep? Lu Yixin said: "It's not exciting enough for two people to pick up soap, you want the three of you to interact together, right?" ”

Cao Cao and Chen Gong walked into Lu Yi's room without a word, and after Lu Yi closed the door, he said with a straight face: "Taiyi, I'm afraid this Lu Jiazhuang is weird." ”

"What?" Lu Yi frowned and said, "Did you find anything?" ”

Chen Gong, who had not spoken tonight, suddenly said solemnly: "This Lu Jiazhuang is very weird, and the six brothers and sisters of the Lu family also have problems. ”
