The ancients said that heaven rewards diligence, and a thousand-day journey begins with a single step. The ancients were cloudy, as long as the hoe was wielded diligently, how could there be a city wall that could not be dug down?

Therefore, after Ye Teng got up from the gentle township and hibiscus tent of agarwood the next day, he decided to take action immediately to dig the foot of the wall.

This year is the first year of the melee between the princes, although I don't know when Lu Fan took refuge in Shouchun and thus got acquainted with Sun Ce, but in order to prevent it, it is better to act immediately!

Because Sun Ce's personal charm is too strong, as long as he wants the person, he basically doesn't run. Historically, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lü Fan, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Tai Shici ...... Nearly half of the Wenchen generals in Eastern Wu were done in the short eight or nine years that Sun Ce was in power.

Sun Ce's real strength is not to charge into battle, but his strong personal charm and ability to know and use people! This point is not weaker than any monarch in the history of the Three Kingdoms!

Many of Cao Cao's talents were accepted by Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei was accepted by Liu Biao and Liu Yan. People who have been reused by others and have been out of office, the level has been revealed, just take it and use it.

People who have not yet become famous have not yet demonstrated their abilities, how can they know? Therefore, in history, it is wise and great to be able to pull out a large number of extraordinary civil and military generals to the reckless lords!

Therefore, Sun Ce fully possessed the outstanding qualities of a great lord, but unfortunately he died young! Otherwise, it is not known whether China will be reunified, and if this is the case, there will be no later Sima garbage stealing the country, so that China will enter the darkest period of Wuhu chaos in history.

Ye Teng believes that as long as Sun Ce stretches out his evil hand, he will basically have no play, so the only way is to cut off his beard!

Lu Fan has been studious, honest and diligent, and dignified since he was a child, and he has a good reputation in Xiyang County.

Because of his humble background, naturally no one in power would be willing to recommend him as "filial piety" and "Maocai", so as to rise to the top. But I was fortunate to be appreciated by Cheng Fangyan of Xiyang County, and he was hired as a small official by the county government after the crown ceremony, and it has been more than two years now.

The meager salary of the little official is only enough to support the family, so the parents who are nearly fifty years old are still working. Her mother washes and cooks at home, and her father works as a bookkeeper in Liu's mansion, a wealthy family in the city.

Of course, Father Lu's account office has not been done for a year or two, but has been done since Lu Fan remembered. Therefore, from a young age, Lu Fan went to Liu's Mansion with his father many times to play, so he got acquainted with Liu Huan, the eldest lady of Liufu, to be precise, when he was a child, the big boy took the little girl to play, because Lu Fan was five years older than Liu Huan.

Now, Liu Huan is seventeen years old, with elegant appearance, graceful figure, and even more rare is knowledgeable and courteous, the matchmaker who came to the door quickly stepped on the threshold of the Liu family, and the lord of the Liu Mansion also had the intention of finding a good son-in-law as soon as possible.

I still remember one evening three days ago, the yamen was fine, Lu Fan specially got off work early and went to Liu's house to pick up his father home, Liu Huan saw Lu Fan coming from a distance from the window of the embroidery building, made an excuse, went downstairs to the side door to intercept Lu Fan, blushed and said softly: "Brother Ziheng, the day before yesterday, the Huang family came to propose marriage, this is the third case of this month, and my mother has been urging me to decide these days." ”

Lu Fan naturally knew what the eldest lady meant, and the two of them had already been in love. But because the family background is too far apart, Lu Fan neither dared to tell his parents, let alone send someone to propose marriage, and it dragged on for two or three years, and Liu Huan has been perfunctory to his parents for two or three years, and now it is estimated that it is no longer perfunctory.

Lu Fan didn't dare to mention his relatives, not because of inferiority, but because he knew that it was useless to mention it, and it was strange that the Liu family could agree!

In a blink of an eye, Liu Huan was seventeen years old, Lu Fan was still a small official, and Lu's father was still the account office. But the matter of courting relatives really can't be delayed any longer, otherwise, not only will the daylily be cold, but the yellow flower girl will also be carried into the cave room of another family!

Helpless, Lu Fan could only grit his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a matchmaker to come to the house tomorrow to propose marriage!" ”

"Wait! Please Brother Ziheng, don't lose your trust! The beautiful woman tapped her head and walked away quickly.

Lu Fan still went to pick up his father back quietly.

After returning home, Lu Fan asked his parents to sit down and said something that surprised them: "Dad, mother, can you help me find someone to go to Liu's house to propose?" ”

"Which Liu family?" Mother asked.

"It's the Liu family that my father is doing." Lu Fan said.

The mother stood up, touched Lu Fan's head, and said, "Son, you don't have a fever, right?" Is Mr. Liu's family something we can afford? ”

Lu Fan was silent, but did not change his words.

Not only Lu's mother, but Lu's father was also taken aback: a son of a working boy begged to marry the daughter of a big boss, is this to bring humiliation on himself? If it weren't for the fact that his son was an adult and was an official in the county government, he really wanted to wake him up with a slap!

But then again, the daughter of the Liu family is like a flower, Bing Xue is smart, knowledgeable, and his son is also good-looking, erudite, diligent and capable, if you put aside the family background, it is really a match made in heaven!

However, in this Han world, can the family background be put aside? If you don't care about your family background, I'm afraid that your son will have been promoted to filial piety, Maocai, and become an official, how can he sink into the last officials?

Seeing that his son was silent, but with a stubborn face, Father Lu sighed, forget it, won't you lose some face? It's a big deal to be kicked out by the owner, lose the job in the account room, and live a harder life in the future, just find a way to find another job.

Father Lu said: "Okay, son, since you insist, I will find Zhang Wuye to help you come to the door to ask for a kiss, anyway, we are a poor family, and we don't have much face to lose, besides, we are not the first and will not be the last in the world!" ”

After that, Father Lu went to the back room to get some accumulated money, went out to buy gifts, and asked Zhang Wuye, who had a little status in the neighborhood, to say that the matchmaker went.

Although he basically has no hope of success, and is ready to be swept away by Liu's house, Lu's father knows that this is a major event in life, and if he doesn't do this, maybe his son will feel unwilling for the rest of his life!

——————————

Politely sent Zhang Wuye out of the door, and Liu's mother said to her daughter hiding behind the screen: "Huan'er, come out!" You made this up, didn't you? ”

Facing the serious parents, Liu Huan slowly moved out, lowered her head and did not speak.

Liu's mother said: "I know that Lao Lu is a sincere person, and he will not be so self-conscious, my young lady of the Liu family is also what his son who is a small official can remember?" ”

Liu Huan was bold and replied with a famous sentence through the ages: "Do you think Lu Ziheng will be a person who is long-term poor?" ”

Liu's mother was silent, Liu's father thought about it for a while, and said, "Huan'er, I admit it, maybe what you said is reasonable." The old Lu family is also regarded as a generation of students, Lu Ziheng's boy, I watched him grow up, studious and capable, and his appearance is extraordinary, but the Lu family is poor, if you can't stand it at that time, it will be too late to regret it! ”

Liu Huan gave a deep salute to her parents and said, "In the past few months, which of the so-called young talents who have come to my house to propose marriage is as good as Brother Ziheng?" The daughter firmly believes that Lu Ziheng is not a person who is poor for a long time, even if he will be poor all his life in the future, he can only blame his daughter for being clumsy, but he will never regret it! ”

After saying goodbye, he slowly turned and left.

Liu's mother looked at her husband helplessly, and Liu's father shook his head and said: "If things are slow, it will be round, and Wan'er will be strong, this matter can't be forced, just wait." ”
