Chapter 40: Jiangdong Lu Fan
"I don't know why Lord Lu went to the Hou Ye's Mansion first, instead of going directly to the Sikong Mansion?" Guo Jia took a sip of tea and asked Lu Fan.
"Who is Mr. Dare to ask?" Only then did Lu Fan discover that there was a scribe beside Lu Rui, who was on an equal footing with Lu Rui, could it be one of Cao Cao's advisors?
"This is the master of the Marquis, Guo Jia, Lord Sikong's military advisor sacrificial wine!" Lu Rui helped Guo Jia introduce his identity, after all, this is the Hou Ye's Mansion, Lu Rui is the master, and Guo Jia is the guest!
"It turned out to be Guo Sacrifice Wine, Fan Jiu admired his name, today I saw Guo Sacrifice Wine, Fan has no regrets when he came this time!"
"Lord Lu is serious, Jia doesn't dare to be it!"
"Guo Sai wine is polite, everyone in Xu Du knows that Hou Ye is the most favored adopted son of Lord Sikong, not to mention that the marriage of Cao Sun is a family matter, so naturally it is more appropriate for the little Hou Ye to come forward to ask for my family master." Lu Fan flattered Lu Rui.
Lu Fan? One of Sun Quan's right-hand men, the founding minister of Wu State, actually flattered himself? It seems that it is not a simple lord again!
"Lord Lu, is there only one person who can speak in front of Lord Sikong?" Guo Jia looked at Lu Fan unhappily.
"Oops, Fan actually forgot that there is still Guo Sacrifice Wine! One of Lord Sikong's most trusted advisors. Lu Fan patted his head and pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
"Lord Lu laughed, Jia Ren spoke softly, it seems that he can't help Lord Lu." Guo Jia's hint is obvious, don't give Lao Tzu benefits, make you yellow!
"Guo Saijiu is too modest, if Guo Saijiu can't say a few words in front of Lord Sikong, then I'm afraid there will be no one in Xu Du."
Fan was clumsy just now, and he didn't see Guo Saijiu. Here are some of Fan's thoughts. Please accept the sake sage. "Finished. Lu Fan's subordinates brought out another plate of gold and sent it to Guo Jia.
"Lord Lu is polite, the daughter of the Sun family in Jiangdong must be virtuous and virtuous, but if you marry the son of the lord, Lord Lu doesn't have to worry." When Guo Jia saw so much gold, he dropped a little discipline, anyway, Cao Cao would definitely agree. It's not too much to make some money yourself.
"Fan thanks Hou Ye and Master Guo, Fan still has old friends in Xudu, I want to visit, Fan said goodbye first." Lu Fan saw that his goal had been achieved, and he was about to leave.
"Lord Lu, please!" Lu Rui signaled, and Lu Fan left.
"It seems to be a flattering villain, but in fact he is bold and capable, and he understands people's hearts!" Guo Jia looked at Lu Fan's distant figure and muttered to himself. Jiangdong Lu Fan is another talent. After being sure to let Lu Rui and Guo Jia speak for Sun Quan. I left right away, this ability. Among Cao Ying, I'm afraid there is no one who can compare!
"Master, Jiangdong Duo Junjie, don't be so surprised! During the war in the Central Plains, many people went to Jiangnan for refuge. "The famous generals of Huaisi who started with the Sun family are not from Jiangdong, and many famous people in the north have become important ministers of Eastern Wu in the future.
"What Bufan said is reasonable, since Jiangdong has such talents, then it seems to be qualified as our ally."
Lu Rui and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and they both showed satisfied smiles.
"Sikong-sama has arrived!" As the housekeeper of the Cao Mansion shouted, everyone stood up. Today is the day when Cao Cao feasted Jiangdong envoy Lu Fan.
"See Sikong-sama!"
"Good! You don't have to be polite, please be seated! ”
"Please, princes!" The housekeeper shouted again, and the sons of the Cao family all came out.
Cao Pi took the lead, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and the other boys of the Cao family were on the left, while Cao Cao's adopted sons Qin Lang and He Yan were on the left. Cao Zhen is lined up on the right.
"Sikong-sama, what is this?"
"Ziheng, the left side is the son of this Sikong, and the right side is the adopted son of this Sikong, Cao Du regards it as his own, they are not married, they have no wife, they can be married to the daughter of the Sun family, I don't know what Ziheng thinks is the son of the Sikong, who can be the daughter of the Sun family?" Cao Cao glanced at Lu Fan, how about it, Lao Cao, I have many sons!
Lu Fan saw Cao Cao's son, and was stunned for a moment, more than a dozen? More than Sun Jian's son. And even the newborn ones were brought out, and the marriage was also politically exquisite. Sun Quan let his cousin marry, which shows that Sun Quan and Cao Cao are in-laws, but not in-laws, Sun Quan's status is one level lower than Cao Cao, and he wants to call Cao Cao's son his brother-in-law, Cao Cao? It should be called the fathers!
"Lord Sikong, before Fan came to Xudu, the lord asked me to choose a husband for his cousin, Lord Sikong's young sons, I'm afraid?" Cao Cao took out his newborn son, Lu Fan's head was big, if he brought a baby back to Sun Quan to be his brother-in-law, Sun Quan didn't want to cut himself? What if these babies were Cao Cao's grandchildren? Then Sun Quan didn't suffer a loss! Who knows if Cao Cao will do something in secret?
Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, Lu Fan was really cautious, he noticed all the small details, and prevented Cao Cao from doing tricks?
"I see, then Ziheng will see who can stay?" Cao Cao glanced at Lu Fan and handed over the question to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, Cao Cao actually wanted to choose by himself? This is difficult, there must be Cao Cao's beloved son in this, if he picks it out himself? Then the son who Cao Cao doesn't like is left, and this marriage will be greatly discounted.
"Lord Sikong, Fan came out of Xu Du, I don't know the sons of the Cao family, I don't know if I can ask Fan Zhi's old friends of Xu Du to make a choice for Fan?" Lu Fan asked Cao Cao tentatively.
"Oh? Ziheng is looking for a helper, okay! Who does Ziheng want to ask for help? ”
"Back to Lord Sikong, Fan wants to ask Brother Ziyuan to choose a son for Fan, please ask Lord Sikong for permission." Lu Fan arched his hand and asked Cao Cao for permission.
Lu Rui almost laughed, Lu Fan and Xu You are good friends? It seems that silver is working again, and Xu Yu has dog friends all over the world.
"Okay, Ziyuan, you can help Ziheng!" Cao Cao took this opportunity to test Sun Quan's horse boy, and he had the ability to form an alliance with me Cao Cao!
"Yes, my lord!"
Xu You quickly eliminated the unqualified sons, leaving Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Qin Lang, Cao Zhen, and He Yan.
"Zi Heng, these five sons, I don't know what Zi Heng thinks?"
"Back to Lord Sikong, the five sons are all dragons among people, and they are handsome and extraordinary, which meets the requirements of the lord, but Ziheng still has to test the sons." After Xu You's help, Lu Fan has roughly determined that these sons are Cao Cao's favored sons, but whether they are biological or adopted sons, this is uncertain, but Lu Fan has a way to test it out!
"Okay, you will accept Ziheng's test, don't lose the face of our Cao family!"
"Thank you, Lord Sikong!"
"Please allow the people with armor to go to the temple!"
"Why is that?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, why did he want someone with weapons to come up? Underguarded?
"Lord Sikong, I'm afraid that Fan's test will be dangerous, please Lord Sikong just in case!"
"Good! Zihe, select ten elite tigers and leopards to come up. ”
"No!"
Soon, Xia Houlan rode to the main hall with a tiger and a leopard.
"Ziheng, you can start."
"Yes, Sikong-sama!"
"May I ask my sons, in the Analects." Then Lu Fan asked some very common sense questions, and came up with some poems and songs, and the five of them answered very well, Lao Cao can write poems, dance, and sing, and the cultivation of his sons and adopted sons is of course not bad, except for the only adopted son Lu Rui!
"Lord Sikong, the literary test of your sons has come over, and the next is the martial arts test!" Lu Fan arched his hand and reported to Cao Cao.
"Good! Please Ziheng to solve the question! ”
"Please wait a moment."
"Good!" Lu Fan instructed the pro-soldiers a few words, and the pro-soldiers left.
"Ziheng, what are we waiting for?" Cao Cao was also curious, why did Lu Fan wait?
"Please wait a moment, Sikong-sama, the test will be there soon."
Everyone looked at the main entrance of the main hall, what did Lu Fan want to bring to the test?
"Roaring !!!!!" Just when everyone was puzzled, a deafening voice suddenly came in.
"Ahh A maid screamed, and it turned out to be a tiger. Lu Fan actually ordered someone to bring a tiger.
A huge South China tiger was led by two soldiers to the main hall.
The two soldiers were shirtless and had tattoos on their bodies, with the word "decipherment" written on the front and the word annoyance written on the back.
Annoyance Army? Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, this is the secret army of Eastern Wu, the legendary Liberation Army? The Annoyance Army has it at this time?
Some of the ladies had never seen a tiger before, and they were already scared, and some of the maids were directly unsteady on their legs and feet, and they staggered.
Lu Fan smiled and looked at the people in Sikong Mansion.
"Hahahaha! Interesting! Zhong Kang, order someone to guard the main hall, let's see this wonderful test. If someone withdraws temporarily, they will be decided! ”
"No!" Xu Chu immediately arranged for the tiger guards to guard the gates.
Lu Fan wants to see the jokes of the Cao family? No way! (To be continued......)
