When Fan Xu and the others heard this, they were all overjoyed, and immediately followed Liu Ji to the Lu Mansion. The servants of the Lu Mansion saw that Liu Ji and the others were dressed plainly and had no congratulatory gifts, so they stopped and asked, "Who are you, this is the Lu Mansion." ”

"Naturally, he is the one who came to congratulate." Liu Ji arched his hand slightly and said with a smile.

"Oh?" The servant looked at the three of them again, and then said, "The people who came today are all talented people from Pei County, and this gift money is not less." ”

Seeing the servant's contempt, Fan Hao was also angry, and his hot temper couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and pointed at the servant and shouted: "You little servant dare to look down on people, let me tell you, this is the Liu Pavilion Chief of our Surabaya Pavilion." He lied head-on, and the reason why he said this was also for the sake of face fighting.

"It turned out to be Pavilion Chief Liu." The servant really changed his face, and immediately said with a smile and a salute.

Liu Ji, who originally wanted to reprimand Fan Xu, saw that the servant's face changed quickly, and the compliment also made him feel comfortable, so he said impersonantly: "Yes, it's me." "Anyway, he's notoriety now, and he doesn't care about these lies.

The servant immediately invited Liu Ji into the Lu Mansion, and when he entered the mansion, the person in charge of registration asked: "I don't know how much money Liu Tingchang has gifted?" ”

Speaking of gift money, Liu Ji's face is not red or red, anyway, he is a swollen face and a fat man, as long as he can enter the house to eat, he can't care about the rest, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Ten thousand yuan!" ”

"Ten thousand dollars?" The registered person's heart jumped, this is not a small amount, he was even more respectful to Liu Ji, and then he shouted loudly: "Surabaya Pavilion Liu Pavilion is giving 10,000 yuan!" ”

This is a terrible thing, the 10,000 yuan really surprised the guests, but what shocked them the most was that the owner of the 10,000 yuan turned out to be the pavilion director of the Surabaya Pavilion. Who is the head of the Surabaya Pavilion? Lu Fu didn't know, how could they, the local squires, not know? This is now Pei County's virtue and talent praised by the people, so many guests have come around, these guests only know the name of Liu Tingchang, but have never seen him, so they all regard Liu Ji as Liu Yuan.

"Pavilion Chief Liu is here? Hehe, it's really a talent. ”

"Pavilion Chief Liu's reservoir is really a great plan for the benefit of the people, and I admire it." These squires all said with a smile, which shows Liu Yuan's prestige in Pei County.

When Liu Ji heard everyone's praise, he pretended to be humble on his face and returned the salute one by one, but he was very resentful in his heart, if it weren't for Liu Yuan, these reputations and prestige would be his. The more enthusiastic the squire of Pei County, the more resentment in his heart grew. When Taigong Lu, who was outside the lobby, saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and when he saw Liu Ji being greeted by all the squires, he knew that the latter had a high prestige in Pei County, and he was the person he needed now. And Mrs. Lu didn't know that all this was because of a lie.

Mrs. Lu stepped forward with a smile, he was in good spirits today, smiled heartily, and also arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Pavilion Chief Liu, you are an old man with a reputation, but I have heard of it for a long time." He was just on the side, and from the words of the squire, he also knew what the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion had done.

Liu Ji is an impostor, of course he has to do it well, he is now a virtuous person in the eyes of people, so he hurriedly returned the salute, his tone was calm, and he said respectfully: "Lu Gong said that he was laughing, but it was just a false name." Today, Duke Lu moved and came to congratulate. ”

Seeing that Liu Ji was so steady and generous, Mrs. Lu also nodded his head, satisfied in his heart, and said again: "Pavilion Chief Liu, please enter the hall quickly, this gift money will be exempted, how can I covet Pavilion Chief Liu's money?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Ji was overjoyed, he was already open-mouthed, so he saluted again and said, "Thank you Duke Lu." Then he took Lu Juan and the two into the lobby, accompanied by a group of squires.

At this time, there were already several people in the hall, Liu Ji raised his eyes, his face suddenly froze, he didn't expect Xiao He to come too. Liu Ji looked embarrassed, and the squires beside him urged him to sit down first, he was now driven to the shelves and had to go up, Liu Ji sat down with his head down, but he was quite nervous in his heart. Sure enough, Xiao He walked over, Liu Ji hurriedly got up when he saw this, and he walked to the side door, where there was no one else.

Xiao He followed, looking angry, and waved his sleeves and scolded: "Okay, you Liu Ji, it's just a matter of deceiving the world and stealing your name, I didn't pursue it if I thought of you as an old man." You don't know how to be honest, you pretended to be Liu Yuan to attend the banquet today, and you didn't leave quickly? ”

Liu Ji hurriedly begged: "Xiao Xiancheng, it is indeed Ji who deceived the world and stole his name, Ji knows that he is wrong, please understand." After a pause, he sighed and said sadly: "Don't hide it from you, Ji has not eaten for many days, and today's impersonation is also a last resort, Ji only asks for a full meal." Xiao Xiancheng, Ji is so depressed now, he has no regrets in his heart, it is all caused by Ji Ming's confusion, and he can't complain about others. I just want Xiao County to remember the feelings of the past, don't demolish Ji today, you can let Ji eat a full meal. ”

Hearing this, Xiao He's anger was suppressed, he saw that Liu Ji's face was thin and hungry, and his heart suddenly felt pity, this man who had been in the Surabaya Pavilion did not expect to fall to such a point. Poor people must have something to hate, Xiao He sighed, waved his sleeves and said again: "You can do it yourself." With that, he turned around and entered the lobby.

Liu Ji looked at Xiao He's back, an unknown smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, so he also entered the lobby. Since Xiao He didn't demolish him, Liu Ji had no scruples in his heart, and he was even more comfortable in impersonation. It didn't take long for Mrs. Lu to walk in, and after he saluted Xiao He, he said to everyone: "Lu Fu has just come to Pei County, and I hope you will help you in the future." Everyone, please! As he spoke, he lifted the wine from his bowl and drank it down.

Everyone also drank up, Lu Taigong and Xiao He sat together, he chin and laughed at Xiao He in a low voice: "Xiao County Cheng, I don't know what the character of Liu Pavilion Chief of Surabaya Pavilion is?" As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Ji, who was eating meat.

Hearing this, Xiao He was stunned, if he said Liu Yuan, he would naturally praise him. But the pavilion chief in front of him was Liu Ji's impostor, so he hesitated. However, seeing Liu Ji's hungry expression, his heart softened, and he said: "Is this Liu Pavilion Chief, naturally I have rare talents in Pei County." ”

"Very good, very good!" When Mrs. Lu heard this, she laughed nonsense, her eyes flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Brother Ji, this meat is really fragrant." Fan Xu grabbed a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered.

Liu Ji frowned, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk, hurry up and eat." ”

"Pavilion Chief Liu......" Suddenly, Mrs. Lu in the hall shouted, he beckoned to Liu Ji, and said with a smile: "Pavilion Chief Liu, please come and sit here." Mrs. Lu pointed to a table beside him.

Liu Ji didn't know what Mrs. Lu meant, but he still walked over according to his words, and after sitting down, he only heard Mrs. Lu say again: "I have a daughter named Lu Pheasant, and I heard that Liu Tingchang came to the house, so I wanted to see it." Then he said in a deep voice: "The pheasant still hasn't come in?" ”
