Chapter 1488: People are Precious for Things
The general who went to Xiang Lu Butongyu entered the courtyard, and it didn't take long for him to fold out.
Standing in front of Lu Su and Lu Meng, the general arched his fists towards them, and said with an arrogant expression: "The general invites you two to come in and talk!" ”
The demeanor of the general made Lu Meng feel quite unhappy in his heart.
Frowning slightly, Lu Meng had a heart attack, but he knew that this was Luoyang, so he had to suppress the anger in his chest, and together with Lu Su, he gave the general a salute and entered Lu Bu's mansion.
When he entered the mansion, he was greeted not by Lu Bu, but by a servant with a smile on his face.
The servant is brightly dressed, and he is very different from ordinary servants in terms of dress, and it can be seen at a glance that his status in the Lu Bu Mansion is not bad.
Different from the general outside the door, the servant who greeted him was quite polite, and when he arrived in front of the two, the servant bowed to them with his fists in his fist, and said with a smile on his face: "The two distinguished guests are here, and the general is already waiting in the front hall!" ”
After saluting, the servant made a gesture of invitation to the two and said, "Come with me, two of you!" ”
The servant etiquette arrived for a few weeks, Lu Su and Lu Meng did not dare to hold it up, and Lu Meng was full of unhappiness at the door, and he also retreated a lot because the servant greeted him.
The two clasped their fists ≠∮ saluted the servant, and Lu Su said, "I'm tired to lead the way for us!" ”
The servant said the word "please" again, and then walked to the side and led the way to the two.
Lu Bu's mansion is much larger than that of ordinary officials.
Walking beside the servant, Lu Su and Lu Meng walked a hundred and ten steps before they saw a row of houses appear in front of them.
Seeing the row of houses, Lu Su and Lu Meng both knew that they had come to the front hall of Lu Bu's mansion.
"Two of you, and later, I'll go to the Tongyu!" When he was about to get to the door of the front hall, the servant who guided the two of them said a word with a smile on his face, and watched the two stop before going to the front hall.
"This Lu Bu is also rude!" Seeing the servants leaving, Lu Meng muttered in his mouth: "I know that the two of us came to greet each other, but only one servant came!" ”
"Ziming whispered!" As soon as Lu Meng finished speaking, Lu Su reminded in a low voice: "Lu Bu is a soldier and horse of the imperial court, a very popular minister, how can he see the two of us in his eyes?" There are servants to greet him, and he already knows the etiquette! ”
Thinking about what Lu Su said, it is not unreasonable, Lu Bu is the general of the imperial court after all, and the two of them are just envoys of Jiangdong.
Although Jiangdong did not pay tribute to the imperial court, in name, it was still under the rule of the imperial court, and the envoys from Jiangdong were just local officials to the imperial court officials.
When Lu Buken saw them, he had already given them a lot of face, and if he wanted the court officials to receive them like foreign envoys, it would be impossible to come.
Standing outside the antechamber door, waiting for a moment, the servant who had led them to impress here walked out again.
"General, please speak inside!" After another gesture of invitation to the two, the servant stepped aside and made way for them.
He clenched his fist at the servant, and the two walked side by side to the main entrance of the antechamber.
When they entered the hall, they saw at a glance a burly man sitting on the main seat.
The man, dressed in a bright yellow robe, was sitting behind a low table, slowly sipping tea.
From his demeanor, the two of them could not see the demeanor of a military general, and from his physique, it can be seen that he is definitely a fierce general.
Sitting on the main seat was none other than Lu Bu.
Lu Su and Lu Meng entered the hall, and he didn't even glance at the two of them.
Entering the hall, Lu Su and Lu Meng clasped their fists and bowed, saluted Lu Bu, and said in unison: "Jiangdong Lu Su (Lu Meng) meets General Lu!" ”
didn't look up, Lu Bu just waved his hand at them very casually, and said to them: "The two of you have come from afar, you have worked hard all the way, and sit down!" ”
Lu Bu's attitude was very arrogant, which made Lu Meng's heart suddenly unhappy again.
But right now, they had a request for Lu Bu, and Lu Meng didn't dare to say anything out of the ordinary, so he and Lu Su sat behind the low table next to the hall with Lu Su in displeasure.
After sitting down, Lu Bu raised his head and glanced at them, and asked them, "The two of you came here this time, I heard that you are going to meet Your Majesty, but you came here for some reason?" ”
Lu Bu opened the door and asked such a question, but Lu Meng did not say anything, but Lu Su stood up, hugged his fists again and saluted him and said: "General Mingjian, the two of us came to Luoyang to meet His Majesty." It's just that His Majesty is busy, and he has no time to meet the two of us, and he has heard the general's prestige for a long time, so he came to visit the general! ”
Lu Su's sycophants were not light or heavy, but Lu Bu listened to it very useful.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pressed his hand twice towards Lu Suxu and said: "Mr. is too polite, when he came to Luoyang, he also thought of coming to visit a certain person, and he still has such a person in his eyes!" ”
"General!" Lu Bu's face looked a little better, Lu Su knew that the time had come to give gifts, and hurriedly said: "The two of us came from Jiangdong, and we didn't bring anything valuable. ”
As he spoke, Lu Su took out a cloth bag from his arms, walked around the low table, and held it in both hands and presented it to Lu Bu.
Lu Su was holding the cloth bag, and he was very cautious, but Lu Bu looked at the not very big cloth bag, and his brows were slightly twisted.
What kind of valuables can such a small cloth bag contain?
Just by glancing at the things that Lu Su was holding in both hands, Lu Bu's face showed a touch of unhappiness.
Although he lowered his head, Lu Su saw the unhappiness on Lu Bu's face, and handed the cloth bag to the low table in front of Lu Bu, he did not retreat immediately, but knelt down opposite Lu Bu and gently uncovered the cloth bag.
Watching Lu Su carefully uncover the cloth bag, Lu Bu felt a burst of amusement in his heart.
In the small cloth bag, even if it is wrapped in gold and silver, it is not very valuable, Lu Su is so cautious, it is a bit of a fuss!
Lu Bu had a strange smile on his face, and when he looked at Lu Su, he also had a playful expression, as if he wanted to see what he would take out after opening the cloth bag.
The cloth bag was uncovered layer by layer, but Lu Bu's face was not very good-looking.
When the outermost layer of cloth bag was removed, a smaller cloth bag was revealed.
Seeing the cloth bag inside, Lu Bu's brows furrowed slightly, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched violently twice.
He wanted to have a seizure, but after all, Lu Su was giving him a gift to make him want to have a seizure, but he couldn't find a reason for it for a while.
Looking down and uncovering the cloth bag, Lu Su peeked at Lu Bu.
Realizing that Lu Bu's face was not very good, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Unveiled the three layers of cloth bags in a row, Lu Su raised his head and said to Lu Bu: "Because this thing is quite rare, the subordinates wrapped it tightly, and I hope the general is not strange!" ”
was already a little annoyed by waiting, Lu Bu snorted lightly, but did not speak.
Uncovering the last layer of cloth bag, when Lu Su pulled up the corner of the cloth bag, Lu Bu's face changed suddenly.
What appeared in front of him was a piece of jade pendant with a goose yellow body and a warm luster.
Although he is not very clear about the jade pendant, Lu Bu can also see that this jade pendant must be worth a lot of money!
"General!" Removing his hands from the cloth bag, Lu Su stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Lu Bu and asked, "Dare to ask the general, do you know the jade seal of the country?" ”
Inheriting the jade seal of the country, Lu Bu knows it.
He didn't answer Lu Su, but raised his head to look at him with a puzzled expression.
"The heirloom jade seal is made of He's bi!" Holding his fists and bowing, Lu Su said to Lu Bu: "When the jade seal was built, there were some leftover materials, and the craftsman used it to polish this jade pendant......
Lu Bu has always had an extremely strong interest in valuables, and when he learned that this jade pendant was polished from the leftovers of the heirloom jade seal, he hurriedly held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Looking at the jade pendant, the expression on Lu Bu's face was completely different from when Lu Su uncovered the burden before.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the jade pendant for a moment, held the jade pendant tightly in his left hand, made a gesture to Lu Su to please, and said to Lu Su: "Sir, please sit down and talk!" ”
In response, Lu Su retreated to the low table and sat down.
"How can such a valuable thing be collected? Sir will take it back! After Lu Su sat down, Lu Bu held the jade pendant tightly in his left hand, but his mouth was saying that he wanted him to take the jade pendant back.
Clenched his fists and bowed to Lu Bu, Lu Su said: "The general's words are too much!" The two of us are here, and I have heard of the general's reputation for a long time, and it is a blessing in this life to be able to get married to the general! It's just a piece of jade pendant, and the two of us still feel shabby, and the general must not shirk! ”
"It's so precious, how can it be said to be shabby!" Unfolding his left hand holding the jade pendant, when Lu Bu looked at the jade pendant, his face couldn't hide his joy, and he said to the two: "Since the two of you are here, you are here today, and a certain person will prepare a banquet, I will wait for a good life to drink!" ”
When Lu Su unfolded the cloth bag before, Lu Bu still showed disdain on his face, but when he saw the jade pendant, especially when he heard where the jade pendant came from, he immediately changed his smile, which made Lu Meng disdain him in his heart.
Although he was disdainful, Lu Meng didn't dare to show it on his face, he just clenched his fists and bowed down, facing Lu Bu without saying a word!
"Someone!" Before Lu Su could speak to Lu Meng, Lu Bu had already shouted outside the house.
The servant who had led the two here earlier heard the call and strode into the hall.
Clenched his fists and bowed towards Lu Bu, the servant did not speak.
When Lu Bu summoned him in, he must have asked him to do something, and he didn't need to speak at all, and Lu Bu would also give him orders.
"Hurry up and prepare for a banquet, I want to drink with two distinguished guests today!" Turning his gaze to the servant, Lu Bu gave him a command.
Hearing his words, Lu Meng and Lu Su couldn't help but feel a burst of disdain in their hearts.
I ignored people before, and I got valuable things, but I became a distinguished guest!
