Chapter 19 Zhou Bo is convinced
When he left Xiao Mansion, Liu Yuan's mood was very solemn, Xiao He said a lot today, but the speculation in his heart lingered. No matter what choices Xiao He will have in this life, judging from today's banquet, the relationship between the two has become much closer. While thinking about it, Liu Yuan was suddenly collided with someone, and he came back to his senses, but saw a woman fall to the ground.
"You ...... walking" Liu Fang on the side wanted to say a few words, but Liu Yuan waved his hand to stop him.
Liu Yuan bowed and said to the woman, "Can the girl be injured?" Fang Cai was Yuan's fault and didn't notice the girl. ”
At this time, the woman on the ground stood up and patted the dust on her body, she smiled, her eyes were clear, and Yingying said: "You are interesting, obviously I hit you in a panic, but you apologize." Hehe......"
Only then did Liu Yuan see the woman's face clearly, his eyes were slightly bright, and he had to admit that the woman was very beautiful, her face was sweet, and seeing that she was wearing silk, she must also be a big family. Liu Yuan smiled again and said goodbye: "If the girl is okay, then she will leave." Then he took Liu Fang and left quickly.
The woman looked at Liu Yuan's back, her beautiful face smiled again, intoxicating, and she muttered in a low voice, "What a gentleman." ”
"Miss, you sneaked out again." In the whisper, a maid didn't know when she got behind the woman, panting and complaining: "But let Amei look for a long time, our Lu Mansion just came to Pei County, and we are not familiar with the place, if you get lost, Amei Ke will be beaten by the master." ”
"Alright, alright." Seeing Amei's chatter, the woman gently pinched her little nose and said boringly: "It's rare to sneak out and be reprimanded by you, a little girl." Let's go, let's go home. The woman sighed, looked in the direction where Liu Yuan had left, and then turned around and left.
Liu Yuan and the others drove the ox cart out of the east gate, and after traveling for several miles, they stopped at a village, and he inquired about people, and then found Zhou Bo's residence. Zhou Bo's family is poor, and the two thatched houses are also dilapidated, and it is difficult to shelter from the wind and rain. Liu Yuan's heart was heavy, he didn't expect Zhou Bo to be so poor, and he finally understood why Zhou Bo in his previous life was so loyal to Liu Bang and the Han family. Even if he served as the prime minister to eliminate Zhu Lu and was in power, he never thought of opposing Han, because it was Liu Bang who changed his fate when he was poor.
Entering the house, there was only an old woman drying hay, and when she saw someone coming, the old woman's rickety body could not straighten her waist, and she asked suspiciously and vigilantly: "I don't know who the two are looking for?" ”
Liu Yuan bowed to the old woman and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, I wonder if Zhou Bo is at home?" ”
"What are you looking for me?" The old woman looked flustered and uneasy, and she eagerly asked, "Is my son in trouble again?" ”
"Auntie, you misunderstood, we met Brother Zhou, and we came to talk about it today." Liu Fang also tried his best to explain in an easy-going tone, no wonder Zhou's mother was worried, in order to treat her, Zhou Bo did not borrow less.
"Brother Yuan?" As soon as Liu Fang's words fell, a person outside the house shouted in surprise, Liu Yuan turned around and saw that it was Zhou Bo who had returned home. I saw him put down the straw sandals and straw mat in his hand, and walked over hurriedly, he said to Liu Yuan: "It's really Brother Yuan, I didn't expect Brother Yuan to come from you." ”
Liu Yuan patted Zhou Bo's shoulder and said with a joking smile: "What, isn't it possible that you are still not welcome?" ”
"Brother Yuan laughed, how dare Bo not welcome it." Zhou Bo also smiled heartily, "Brother Yuan, sit down." ”
The thatched hut was full of woven mats, Liu Yuan and others sat down, a little crowded, Zhou's mother saw this, so she said: "You guys chat, the eldest lady goes to boil water." ”
"How dare you bother you, auntie." Liu Yuan waved his hand and said hurriedly, he glanced at Liu Fang, who immediately understood.
Liu Fang immediately said: "Auntie, I'll go." ”
Zhou Bo looked embarrassed, he showed a reluctant smile, and said to Liu Yuan: "The house is crowded, so Brother Yuan can see it." Then he thanked again, "Thanks to Brother Yuan's help last time, Brother Yuan can rest assured that the money will be returned in the future." ”
Liu Yuan shook his head, a little displeased, and said with a slight reprimand: "You have filial piety, I am very moved, there is no need to mention the matter of money." Since you call me Brother Yuan, why do you bother to be so angry. ”
"That's it, Brother Zhou, I see that you are also a refreshing person, why are you still twisting and pinching." At this time, Liu Fang walked in with tea, and he echoed, although he didn't know why Liu Yuan was so wooing Zhou Bo, he still believed that his brother Yuan would not do anything indiscriminately.
Hearing this, Zhou Bo slapped the table, his honest face showed a positive color, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuan! ”
This "Brother Yuan", Liu Yuan knew that he had completely subdued Zhou Bo's heart. At this time, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he also laughed and said: "Okay, you and my brother should share weal and woe." Immediately, he frowned, and said, "Brother Zhou, why don't you move to my Jingyang." He pointed to the dilapidated hut, and the meaning was clear.
"Yes, Brother Bo, our Brother Yuan is now the pavilion chief of the Surabaya Pavilion." Liu Fang called very kindly, which made Zhou Bo feel comfortable.
Hearing this, Zhou Bo was also silent, and he lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Immediately, he still showed an apologetic expression, sighed and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Yuan, Fei Bo doesn't want to relocate, but Bo has debts, and he still needs to weave mats and sell shoes in the county town to repay the creditor." After a pause, he also explained: "I know that Brother Yuan can pay off Bo's debts, but he is just an eight-foot man, how can he rely on Brother Yuan for everything?" ”
Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Bo, and he saw persistence in the latter's eyes. Liu Yuan nodded, and he realized that Zhou Bo was not only loyal and brave, but also a principled and responsible person. Liu Yuan appreciates Zhou Bo very much, this is the demeanor of a general, he naturally will not force Zhou Bo to repay his debts, he doesn't want to change Zhou Bo because of his crossing. So, he said in a deep voice: "I am very happy that you can have this responsibility. ”
The three of them talked for a while, and then Liu Yuan got up and left, and before leaving, he asked Liu Fang to take the wild boar meat from the ox cart, which was specially brought for Zhou Bo in the morning. He said: "You accept the meat, the eldest lady has just recovered from her illness, and she still needs to make up for her body." ”
Zhou Bo took the pork and thanked him again, he didn't refuse, there was no need for politeness between him and Liu Yuan. After leaving, Liu Yuan sat on the ox cart and instructed Liu Fang: "You can bring a few people another day to repair the house for Zhou Bo." ”
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, I'll do this myself." Liu Fang patted his chest and reassured.
And in Pei County, next to the lively street, a blue brick courtyard has been built, the courtyard wall is high and deep, and there are many houses. The courtyard gate is tall, there are servants guarding both sides, and a wooden plaque is hung on the door, engraved with the word "Lu Fu"!
