Chapter 764: The old man is here
In the Anhui City of Lujiang County, Yangzhou, although it is only a small county town, the characters living in it are the characters who have to tremble in the whole Yangzhou.
On the door of a mansion there are two big characters written on the Lu Mansion, and in the garden, a middle-aged man with a sword eyebrow is drinking tea and enjoying flowers and fishing.
This man is not an outsider or our father-in-law, Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, Lu Bu is a hero, Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf, Lu Bu is a god of war, Lu Bu is bloodthirsty and killing, these are the outside world's evaluations of Lu Bu, but who has ever known this man called Lu Bu, he also likes to drink tea, he also likes to enjoy flowers, what he likes more is to sit on the edge of the pond for an afternoon, maybe there are not a few fish in the basket, but he can go away with a smile.
He is Lu Bu, a man who is like a fan. It seems that he has been lucky today, and his fishing basket seems to have two or three small fish in it.
"General!" Just when Lu Bu was about to continue fishing and fish for the dinner party in the evening, a personal guard behind him walked in and bowed to Lu Bu.
"Huh?" Lu Bu frowned, because since his baby son-in-law took charge of Yangzhou, Yangzhou slowly became larger, Lu Bu did not manage government affairs much, one of which Lu Bu felt that Liu Mang could be in charge alone, and another reason was that Lu Bu was avoiding suspicion.
That's right, it's to avoid suspicion, there can't be two tigers in one mountain in this country, if there is, it must be a male and a female, if not, it is a death and an injury.
In the past, it was mainly based on Lu Bu, because Liu Mang had just arrived, and he didn't know how to appease people's hearts and how to lead the army to conquer the world.
But slowly Liu Mang opened up. He began to have his own power, starting from the Chengguan Army, and slowly Liu Mang recovered Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others, and then slowly there were scholars like Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su gathered around him.
Liu Mang's wings gradually hardened, originally after Shouchun was built, Gao Shun and others wanted Lu Bu to go to Shouchun to preside over major events, but Lu Bu refused, not only did he not go to Shouchun, on the contrary, he also taught the affairs of Lujiang to Chen Gong, or to Gao Shun and others. There are only those that can't be solved, for example, when he went to Yuzhou, he was in the position of commander, and at other times, Lu Bu was more like a rich man, and he retired after success.
So the current Yangzhou is not so much the Yangzhou of Lu Bujun, but the Yangzhou of Liu Mangjun, which has already changed his master.
Whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Bei, or Liu Biao and others in Jingzhou, what they began to fear was no longer him, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, but Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou.
It is such a leisurely life, so Lu Bu was able to calm down and fish, and found the fun that he couldn't find before, fishing naturally needs to be quiet, Lu Bu also said that when he fished, no one was allowed to disturb.
And now that this personal guard dared to come over and interrupt him, Lu Bu must have something going on.
"General, Chen Gong's military advisor asks to see you!" The guard knelt down to Lu Bu and said.
"The public platform is coming?" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, Chen Gong is generally in the Taishou Mansion, and Lu Jiang can teach Chen Gong everything, big and small affairs, it can be said that Lu Bu basically does not move a bit, all of them are done for Chen Gong.
"Go to the main hall and let the public stand in!" Lu Bu said to his personal guard.
"Yes!" Soon Lu Bu himself changed his clothes and went to the main hall, and Chen Gong had been waiting for a long time.
"It's been a long time for the public station to wait!" Lu Bu apologized slightly to Chen Gong over there.
"Where is Bongxian!" Chen Gong also said with a smile, he and Lu Bu haven't seen each other for many days, they used to be monarchs and ministers, but now this identity seems to have changed a lot, is it a boss and a subordinate? Or maybe it's two good friends? The words of the monarch have passed.
Because the current master of Chen Gong is already His Royal Highness the King of Shu, he is even higher than the official position Chen Gong and even higher than Lu Bu, this is the position left by Liu Mang to Chen Palace, but Lu Bu has the title of the cabinet, and he is also the father-in-law of Liu Mang, the King of Shu, so Chen Gong does not dare to make a mistake.
"Back then, in order to see Fengxian, didn't I also wait in the hall!" Chen Gong winked at Lu Bu over there and smiled.
"Haha, you Chen Gongtai, you are scolding me for delaying to see you!" Lu Bu said angrily, now that the two of them have no fetters of monarchs and ministers, they can talk more casually, when Chen Gong wanted to see Lu Bu, then Lu Bu was gone, why? Because Chen Gongtai's advice is contrary to his ears. Lu Bu was young and frivolous.
He even has the title of the first military general in the world, and it is difficult for the princes of the Eighteenth Road under the Tiger Prison to enter the slightest, it can be said that he has achieved great glory at a young age, and there is a halo on his head, and Chen Gongtai, this guy, is a person who pours cold water.
Lu Bu is the first in the world in terms of force, and he said directly, the courage of a reckless man can only be an enemy of a thousand people, but it cannot be an enemy of ten thousand.
Lu Buhu imprisoned the fighting generals, and he said again, with the elite of Xiliang, he didn't want to thwart the enemy's main force, but thinking about the fighting generals was really not a good plan.
Lu Bu came out on his own, and Chen Gongtai started again, general, you are enemies in the east, west, north and south, and it is better for the general to be cautious.
Such a person who pours cold water, who likes to see him.
"Okay, I know that you Chen Gongtai is a busy man, and this Lujiang still needs your Chen Gongtai guidance, let's say, what is the matter with coming to my Lu Mansion?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gong over there with a smile.
Chen Gong nodded: "It is indeed important to see you first!" Please take a look at it! As he spoke, Chen Gong took out a stack of paper from his arms, the paper was very good, it was as smooth as touching a woman's skin, and the printing on it was also very exquisite.
"This is the kind of friend you guys made?" Lu Bu is not a person who doesn't know anything, he looked at the papers given to him by Chen Gongtai and looked at them, there were flags of various armies, as well as the marks of the Hall of Heroes, these are the Jiaozi of Yangzhou to convert copper coins and gold into paper money.
"Fengxian, it's not us, it's him!" Chen Gong shook his head and said with a wry smile, they are already old, and many things can't keep up with Liu Mang's rhythm.
In Chen Gong's eyes, that kid named Liu Hanyang is still the one who will kneel there and blame himself for a few days after a few dead men. "Yes, it's him!" Lu Bu also nodded, the era that belonged to him Lu Bu has passed, and the current Lu Bu is just a sign in the Yangzhou army, that is, we have the God of War behind us.
Lu Bu spread out these friends, and the military flag printed on it was amazing.
"This one is trapped in the camp, this one is ridden by the wolf of the state, this city management army, and this, this is the black chess battalion!" Lu Bu recognized them one by one, can he not recognize them, as early as a few days ago, whether it was the trapping camp or the wolf rider of Bingzhou, he had come to find him, and even Gao Shun's elm pimple also ran over and said to himself, he is bigger than the Chengguan army.
Because the military flag of the trapped camp was printed on the Jiaozi of 100 yuan, but the chengguan army was 1,000 yuan, so he was obedient and dissatisfied.
But he Lu Bu has no way to change these things, so he can only let them be.
Liu Mang is not favoritism, and Jiaozi will naturally change in the future, because no one can guarantee that no one will catch up with your imitation. Some technologies will be overcome sooner or later, just like modern people, if you let those ancient copper coins be faked, they will naturally be accurate, and even more exquisite than those ancient copper coins.
That's the power of technology.
Liu Mang means that which unit has made a great contribution to Yangzhou, then which one will be printed, so that all the elites in the Yangzhou army can be mobilized.
"That's it?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong over there with a smile, if it was just Jiaozi, Chen Gong would not be like this.
"Of course not, Feng Xian, these are just less than 10,000 yuan, you look at this again!" Saying that, Chen Gong handed over another handover to Lu Bu to see.
"Huh?" As soon as he saw this Jiaozi Lu Bu's eyes widened, not because of the value on it, this is a hundred gold Jiaozi, although the hundred gold is worth a lot of money, but it is not looked at by Lu Bu, what really made Lu Bu's eyes widen was that the things printed on this banknote.
He is no longer the banner of the armies, but has become the avatar of the character, and the avatar of this character is none other than our Lu Bulu Fengxian.
"This, this?" Lu Bu didn't know what to say, and finally held back a sentence, "Isn't this nonsense?" ”
"What nonsense is this!" Just when Lu Bu was struggling and Chen Gong was laughing over there, a wonderful voice sounded.
Chen Gong turned his head and saw a middle-aged beautiful woman, and was about to stand up and salute. "There is no need to be polite on the public stage, you and I have been in love for many years, so it should be regarded as a relationship between relatives and friends!" The middle-aged beautiful woman said to Chen Gong over there. "Yes, ma'am!" Chen Gong nodded, this person was Lu Bu's wife, Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan walked over to Lu Bu and sat down.
"Why are you here?" Lu Bu frowned and said, this is the council hall, how can this woman come in.
"Aren't you cultivating yourself? This public platform is no one else, why can't I come in! Mrs. Yan rolled her eyes towards Lu Bu over there, Mrs. Yan was afraid of Lu Bu before she told the truth, and she was mainly based on Lu Bu, and there was no upper and lower meal.
And now that the whole situation is clear, Lu Bu doesn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and there is that son-in-law in Yangzhou who can enjoy peace in their family, so slowly the head of the family in the backyard has become Mrs. Yan.
The husband and wife also have the same mood as before, and they speak casually.
"Madame is right! I'm here to talk about personal matters! This is Lu Mansion, and Mrs. will naturally go there! Chen Gong also accosted on the side.
"Didn't you always mutter, Mang'er didn't come to see you, didn't take you to heart, but now I see it! Mang'er still has you in her heart, be happy! Mrs. Yan said to Lu Bu on the side.
"Hmph, isn't it just a portrait!" Lu Bu said with a little disdain.
"Draw a portrait, hey, I don't like to hear what you say, what is a portrait, do you know what this is called? Jiaozi, this is the denomination of 100 gold, and the whole Yangzhou is using this thing! Mrs. Yan said to Lu Bu.
Mrs. Yan said with a look of pride, because this hundred gold money is only available to big businessmen or those nobles.
It is a great honor for my husband to be able to be brushed on this hundred gold handover, and I went out and pointed to the money of the hundred gold, and I saw it, that is what my husband looks like. Therefore, Mrs. Lu is naturally happy to be the elder in the scholar circle in Lujiang, and even Mrs. Yan is thinking about whether she can let his precious son-in-law put herself on it.
But just think about it. In this era, women's rights have not yet begun to be popularized, and there are only two possibilities for a woman who can have prestige at home, the first is that the woman's family is very strong, such as a princess or the like, and the other is really a man's love for his wife.
Otherwise, according to the words of our big-eared thief, brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes.
How much do you care about a piece of clothing? If it's broken, it's lost, and if it's dirty, it's lost. It is precisely because Lu Bu loves his wife that he will be obedient to Mrs. Yan.
"The whole of Yangzhou is using this thing?" Lu Bu frowned, "What about the gold?" ”
"The gold has been collected into the treasury by His Highness!" Chen Gong said to Lu Bu.
"And what if someone doesn't want to use this Jiaozi?" Lu Bu asked suspiciously.
"Don't want to use Jiaozi? In Yangzhou, there is basically none, because it is difficult to make a deal without Jiaozi! Chen Gong said to Lu Bu over there, now if you want to do business in Yangzhou, you need to use Jiaozi as collateral to open a store, I don't accept the gold you give, how can I have Jiaozi, please go to the gold store in Yangzhou to change.
And those correspondents are leaving, yes, you take Jiaozi to the gold bank to change, if it is confirmed that you are a correspondent, then I will give you huàn, no difference.
It is precisely because of such a refreshing that many businessmen have directly brought Jiaozi to do business, anyway, this Jiaozi can go to any gold store in Yangzhou to exchange huàn gold.
"Such a small piece of paper is worth a hundred gold?" Lu Bu couldn't help but look at it curiously, looking at his own avatar on it, looking at you, not to mention that it is really a bit similar, that sword eyebrow is quite handsome.
"What to see, what to see, what to see, are all big people! You thought you were the young boy back then! Mrs. Yan said to her husband on the side.
"Don't I just look at it!" Lu Bu also blushed a little. "That kid has a bit of a conscience!" Lu Bu is still quite satisfied, isn't life in the world just to make a name for himself.
He Lu Bu has done it, with the implementation of this kind of Jiaozi, as long as Yangzhou does not boast, it is inevitable that this Jiaozi will circulate, and he Lu Bu is also rising.
Yangzhou now issues the largest golden ticket of Lu Bu's avatar, which is 100 gold. Among the people, he was even named Jin Lubu.
"Hey, this son-in-law is good at everything, but why doesn't Ling'er's stomach move at all!" Mrs. Yan began to feel melancholy again.
Because up to now, Miss Lu has not given birth to any heirs to Liu Mang, fortunately, the other concubines over there have not made the slightest movement, but there is a barbarian concubine who is pregnant, and it doesn't matter, the heirs of a concubine cannot inherit Liu Mang's great cause, even if Liu Mang is willing to his subordinates, they will not be willing, because this involves the issue of bloodline.
Those great Confucians, especially the old diehards dominated by Qiao Xuan, would never allow a person of foreign blood to inherit this great unification.
"This can only show that your daughter is not angry!" Lu Bu was also a little annoyed by this question.
"Hmph, my daughter is not angry, my daughter is not your daughter anymore, you say this about your daughter!" Mrs. Yan was also angry and said to her husband.
Chen Gong, who was on the side, was a little embarrassed, because this already involved private matters, so Chen Gong hurriedly confessed and left the Lu Mansion.
"It's not a way to go on like this, someone will give me pen and ink!" Lu Bu suddenly had a whimsical idea.
"What do you want pen and ink for?" Mrs. Yan asked Lu Bu suspiciously.
"Write a letter!" Lu Bu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to give that kid a military order, and I must hold my grandson within a year!" Lu Bu seemed to have made up his mind.
"Gotta take you!" Mrs. Yan snatched the pen and ink from Lu Bu's hand.
Can you still issue a military order for this matter of giving birth to a child, do you want to make another military order, and if you can't give birth to a son, drag it out and cut it? "So what do you say?" Lu Bu also felt a bit ridiculous, but there was no other way. "I heard that Hua Tuo Zhang Ji and several miracle doctors are in Shouchun!" Mrs. Yan said to Lu Bu.
"We can go to that Yangzhou hospital and find a few miracle doctors to help!" Mrs. Yan continued.
"Yes! There you go! Lu Bu nodded, he had also heard of the reputation of Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, although it was not as exaggerated as the living dead and flesh and bones, but it was also a rare miracle doctor. What do you call me going! What are you doing when I went! Mrs. Yan asked her husband. You go to find Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, the two miracle doctors, and I will stay in Lujiang and Anhui City! Lu Bu looked at his wife innocently and said.
"Feelings, I'm the emperor, I'm not in a hurry to die a eunuch, right! I'm a female quilt and the like, and I went to that Shouchun, will the two divine doctors ignore me? You, the general, don't go, do you want me to go? Does that make sense? "Liu Mang set up six departments, and the military department in these six departments was reserved for Lu Bu, but Lu Bu has been reluctant to go.
"So what are you going to do?!" Lu Bu asked Mrs. Yan.
"What can I do? Come with me! Mrs. Yan gave her husband an ultimatum.
Lu Bu wanted to fight on the basis of reason, but unfortunately it ended in failure, Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Cao in the mansion all wanted to let Lu Bu go to Shouchun, because they also wanted to go to Shouchun to see, and they always said that Shouchun had a new look, but they really hadn't been there, so they had to take a good look at this time.
Lu Bu had no choice, on the second day, several carriages in the Lu Mansion set off, dozens of cavalry followed, there were no thieves in Yangzhou, and if there were any, they would have been wiped out by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Li Yan's armed police department was also waiting for the credit of those thieves, so the road was still very safe, but the wolf rider in Bingzhou was still worried, if it wasn't for Lu Bu's reprimand and reprimand, I am afraid that now it will be five thousand people.
...... "What! My father-in-law is here? Liu Mang's eyes widened in the hall of Shouchun, and he seemed to be a little unable to believe the news. Yes, my lord, Lord Wen Hou's frame is less than twenty miles away from Shouchun! The herald reported to Liu Mang. This and this, it's over, it's over! "To tell the truth, Liu Mang was not afraid of Lu Bu in the past, it was because he and Lu Bu were equals at the beginning, and it can even be said that he was Lu Bu's savior, who was afraid of the people he saved, but then it was different, he married Lu Bu's daughter and became Lu Bu's son-in-law.
From a junior to a junior, as the saying goes, Haila is tolerant and big, and the wall is rigid if there is no desire.
If you marry someone else's daughter, you will naturally have to worry about your father-in-law. What's more, Liu Mang also found several sisters for Miss Lu.
This is in Lu Bu's good temper now, if Lu Bu had that violent temper before, I am afraid that he would be able to take Fang Tian's halberd to Liu Mang to talk about life and ideals.
That's it, Liu Mang also tried not to talk to Lu Bu, or try not to meet, he was afraid that the meeting would be embarrassing, and he was even more afraid that his father-in-law would cut himself on a whim.
Although Liu Mang also has the strength of the second-rate peak, no matter how much he practices, he can't compare to the martial arts of Boss Lu's god refining peak.
It's cut, you can't have an opinion yet, and you have to laugh.
So Liu Mang has always been afraid that Lu Bu will come to Shouchun, but the more he is afraid of something, the more he comes.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Xu Shu on the side hurriedly coughed at Liu Mang, in front of the outside, how can he call this straightforward name, old man.
Liu Mang couldn't take care of this name, "My father-in-law, did he come alone, or did he come like this?" "Liu Mang wants to inquire clearly, if this old man Lu Bu came alone, or came on a war horse, wearing armor and holding a weapon, then Liu Mang still ran as far as he could. It's not enough to play.
"Lord Wen Hou, I'm here with my family!" Fortunately, the herald said the answer that Liu Mang wanted to hear the most.
"Family?" Liu Mang asked with an expression of narrowly escaped death.
"Yes!" The herald nodded, "There are several carriages, and the journey is slow!" ”
"That's good, that's good!" Liu Mang came back to his senses, "Pass the order, let all the civil and military forces in Yangzhou go to the ten-mile long pavilion for me, and prepare to welcome Lord Wen Hou!" ”
The etiquette should still be done, because if there was no Lu Bujun, then there would be no Liu Mangjun today, and there would be no foundation in Yangzhou.
It is not so much that Yangzhou belongs to Liu Mang alone, it is better to say that this Yangzhou was fought by Liu Mang and Lu Bu together, but later, Lu Bu retired after success.
Liu Mang was just about to go directly to the Shili Changting to pick up the old man, but after thinking about it, if he was cut off by the old man on the spot, that face would be lost, in order not to be cut by the old man, but also to have a shield, Liu Mang decisively went back to the Shu Wangfu first, and brought his talisman, that is, Miss Lu.
If she is cut by her father, there is a daughter-in-law on the side to help her block.
Dozens of miles will soon arrive, and in Lu Bu's frame over there, if it weren't for Mrs. Cao's unwellness, she might have arrived in Shouchun a day faster.
Liu Mang hurriedly greeted Miss Lu with him, but Lu Bu didn't take it to the end, but Mrs. Yan reprimanded Liu Mang as her mother-in-law, and Liu Mang could only stand on the side and nod yes.
Zhuge Liang stood on the side, and couldn't help but be angry, and said, "How can a dignified man be like this!" It's a great shame, a great shame! ”
"Oh? Is this a great shame? Do you dare to put your criminal department book on the shelf when you see my mother in the future? An indifferent voice rang out.
Zhuge Liang's face suddenly changed, "Madam, I'm just saying that!" The lord is a real man! “
On the side of Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and the others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh in person, Zhuge Liang's wife took it, this was still the lord's idea, he knew that Zhuge Villager's thing would speak cool words, and with Mrs. Huang, he was much more honest.
Seeing this today, the Zhuge family style is strict, and today is an eye-opener. "Laugh, laugh, if you don't laugh again, you'll suffocate to death!" Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and said speechlessly to his group of colleagues. "Hahahaha!" The earth-shattering smile rippled on the ten-mile long pavilion. R1152
