On the second day, Lu Rui took his own soldiers, got into a carriage, and returned to Xudu.

"Master Hou, this is Xu Du?" After a few days of travel, Lu Rui finally arrived in Xudu.

Lu Rui rubbed his eyes, got up from Zhen Rong's lap, and said, "Well, this is Xu Du, I'm home." ”

After Lu Rui returned to Xudu, he took Zhen Rong to Sikong Mansion first to meet Ding and Mrs. Bian.

"The child has seen the eldest mother, the second mother!" When Lu Rui entered the mansion, he greeted Ding and Mrs. Bian.

"Zhen Rong has seen Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian." Zhen Rong also asked Ding and Mrs. Bian to say goodbye.

"Rui'er has really grown up and knows Mrs. Na?" Ding looked at Lu Rui with a grin.

"This?" Ding Tiger changed sex? Gentle?

"The eldest lady said that she laughed, and the child was ashamed!"

"Rui'er doesn't have to be nervous, Rui'er and Jie'er's wedding will not be held for a few years, Rui'er also needs someone to take care of her, and the eldest mother didn't say anything, but you don't want to be like your middle father, just bully other women!"

"The child obeys!" Damn, wife Cao, your reputation is really bad, the wife is famous all over the world!

"Rong'er, come and show Mrs. Ben!" Mrs. Bian recruited Zhen Rong to her side, Mrs. Bian is Cao Jie's mother, this woman who will live with her daughter in the future, she naturally has to see it clearly.

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Rui'er, there's nothing for you here, go down!"

"Yes, the boy is gone!" In a woman's world, don't mix it yourself!

"Master Hou, eat grapes!" Ling'er peeled the grapes and sent them to Lu Rui's mouth. Zhen Rong played the piano on the side.

Hey. Ancient men were really comfortable. Zhen Rong saw Cao Jie, and actually called his sister and sister, it seems that the tutor of the old Cao family is still good, the blessing of Qi people, this can be had, there is no need to worry about civil strife in the family in the future, Cao Jie will be the princess of Dawei and the daughter of Lao Cao. The sister of the Emperor of Wei will always be half of the second generation of the emperor at that time, and she is a courtier, if Cao Jie makes trouble, it will be really difficult to do!

"Master Hou, General Cao Ren's wife has returned to Xudu from Qian County." The next person came to report that Cao Ren's wife had returned.

"Oh? Hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going to General Cao's Mansion! "Cao Ren was fined money by Cao Cao, and it is estimated that life is not good, so he is going to send money.

"Ma'am. Qi Hou came to visit! "The housekeeper of Cao Ren's mansion came to report to Cao Ren's wife, the Zhang family (there is no record of the official history and the wild history. The rabbit made up a surname).

"Rui'er is here? Hurry up, please! ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Master Hou, Madame is invited!" The housekeeper introduced Lu Rui into the mansion. Cao Ren's mansion is not big, after all, there is no money in the family, only a mansion given by the imperial court.

"Butler, where are the people in the house?" Lu Rui entered Cao Ren's mansion and was stunned for a moment, except for this old housekeeper and the two soldiers outside the door, there was no one else?

"Master Hou, there are two maids left by our house, that is, the lady, and the rest of the people go outside the city to collect firewood, or go to the general's manor to work in exchange for food."

'Oh!' Lu Rui nodded, although production has resumed now, but God doesn't seem to be very powerful, there is not much rainfall, although the reservoir has been built, but unlike the rain in the past, coupled with the decrease in population, now many nobles' slaves have to work in the new fields.

"Rui'er has seen Auntie!" Seeing Zhang, Lu Rui immediately saluted.

"Brother Rui is here, Brother Rui is here!" When Cao Tai saw Lu Rui, he immediately rushed over with his two younger brothers.

"Brother Rui, this time, what delicious things did you bring?" Lu Rui is here, there must be something delicious!

"Tai'er, Hugh is rude to his brother, come back!" Zhang's scolded Cao Tai, it's too unusual!

"Auntie is fine, Tai'er just wants to eat, Tai'er went to the front yard to find Sister Ling'er, there is something good to eat!"

"Really? Brother, let's go! When Cao Tai heard that there was something delicious, he immediately ran to the front yard with his two younger brothers.

"Tyre!" Zhang couldn't stop shouting at Cao Tai, so he could only watch him run out.

"Auntie doesn't have to be like this, Tai'er is still a child."

"Let Rui'er smile, Rui'er, the general hasn't sent Yulu back yet, there are no good things at home, only a cup of tea, and I'll treat Rui'er."

"Auntie, Rui'er is here for this!"

"Oh? Rui'er sent her uncle's money? "Cao Ren can't come back, it's still possible to let Lu Rui bring it back.

"Auntie, my uncle violated military law in the army, and was punished by my middle father, and he was punished by Yulu."

"What!" Zhang was stunned for a moment and covered his mouth, if there is a fortune, how can he live? Children in the family?

"Auntie doesn't have to worry, the middle father knows the environment of his uncle's family, and today he sent Rui'er to send money and food to relieve the aunt's difficulties."

"Then, thank you big brother, concubine!" When Zhang heard that there was money and food, he immediately turned his sadness into joy.

"Auntie, Rui'er still has official business, say goodbye to Auntie!" Help Lao Cao be a good person, you can leave, and it's not interesting to stay here for a long time.

"Auntie, thank you Rui'er!"

"Auntie, please stay!"

Lu Rui left Cao Ren's mansion and came to the market in Xudu, he had been absent from Xudu for a long time, so he took advantage of his free time to go shopping, and bought something for the women at home by the way.

On the outskirts of Xudu, a team of cavalry was secretly approaching Xudu.

"General, are we really going to Xudu?" One of the soldiers asked the leader.

"Well, my brother's whereabouts are unknown, if he is captured by Cao Cao, he must be in Xudu, and now Cao Cao is at war with Yuan Shao, we just go to check!"

"The general is wise!"

Soon, a group of people arrived near the gate of Xudu, and the leader looked at the guards at the city gate, and then said: "You two go quickly to investigate, by the way, bring my paintings, you are now the ones who buy paintings!" ”

"No!"

"What people! Hold it! Two soldiers selling paintings were stopped by Cao Jun at the city gate.

"Master Jun, we are scholars from a nearby village, we have just come here, life is difficult, we specially came to the city today to sell paintings, please make it convenient for Master Jun!"

The soldier looked at the paintings of the two sellers, then waved his hand impatiently, signaling that they could enter the city.

"Thank you, Master Jun!"

The two entered the city through cross-examination.

"Master Hou, it's not too early, shouldn't we go back to Master Hou's mansion?" Murong Ping reminded Lu Rui on the side that it was time to go back when he was ready for dusk.

"Alright, let's go home!"

"I've sold the paintings, and the nobles will come and see them and put them at home."

When Lu Rui heard the person selling the painting, he turned his head, looked at it, smiled slightly, and then was stunned.

The people in these portraits? Isn't it a family member on the Cao Mansion? There are Ding Laohu, Mrs. Bian, and Cao Cao's concubine, etc., why are these two people so similar to Diao Chan and Ling'er in my house?

"Master Hou?" Murong Ping was stunned when he saw Lu Rui, and then called Lu Rui.

"Look at this painting?" Lu Rui pointed to the hanging scroll.

"Master Hou, what is this?"

"Two adults, did you fall in love with our paintings, our paintings are lifelike, our two brothers have traveled the world, painted all the beauties in the world, can the two adults take a fancy to them?"

"What else is there? Take it out and take a look! ”

"Yes, my lord! Yes! After speaking, the two of them also took out a lot of picture scrolls from the bamboo basket, Lu Rui was stunned when he saw it, there were many beautiful patterns on it, one of the beauties, Lu Rui still knew, that Chen Deng's wife!

"Well, that's it!" Lu Rui casually pointed to a picture scroll, paid the money and left.

At a corner, Lu Rui stopped, and then said to Murong Ping: "Murong Ping, who did you think of in the picture scroll just now?" ”

"Zhang Fei!"

"Yes, you send someone to buy the scroll back in batches, and then send someone to follow the two of them, and see where they have gone, remember, don't alarm anyone! If you find out about the situation, come back quickly and report it, be careful! ”

"No!" Murong Ping clenched his fists and led the order.

At night, in Lu Rui's study.

"My subordinates have seen Master Hou!"

"How's it going?"

"Master Qiqi, the picture scroll has been bought, those two are really Zhang Fei's people, they are asking around about Liu Bei's news, Zhang Fei should be outside the city, after they go out of the city, their subordinates dare not chase after them, for fear of being discovered."

"Okay, Murong Ping did a good job, recently, you have to send a lot of people to follow the Xiahou clan, as well as the secret agents who spread our outside the city of Xudu, once you find Zhang Fei's traces, secretly send people to surround you!"

"No!"

Hehe, Zhang Fei, you're finally here, this time, I'm going to break Liu Bei's arm! (To be continued......)
