Cheng Gongying asked people to send fire, and he didn't mean to thank him, but this person came to thank him, which is enough to show that he is a polite, courteous, and grateful person.

Cheng Gongying smiled and said to Guan Hai: "Please come in!" ”

"No!"

Suddenly, a person walked in from outside the door, Cheng Gongying looked up, and saw that this person was about 30 years old, with a hard face, short hair under his forehead, and his figure was not very big, but he was quite strong.

Cheng Gongying and Sun Qian both felt that this person was not vulgar, and they glanced at each other and got up to greet each other.

Seeing the two ushering, this person hurriedly took two steps forward, hugged his fists and saluted: "In Xia Lu Dai, the word Dinggong, Guangling Hailing people, before going out to avoid trouble, now Xuzhou Shengping, the people are stable, so I want to lead my family back to my hometown, but I don't want to rain on the way, fortunately Zhu Fair into the temporary avoidance, and by the fire, so that the family to drive away the cold, Dai Shen was moved, come to thank you!" After saying that, he bowed.

Seeing that Lu Dai was so solemn, Cheng Gongying hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and replied: "They are all pedestrians in a hurry, so they should take care of each other, don't dare to say thank you, please get up quickly!" ”

Lu Dai thanked him again and again before getting up.

Cheng Gongying invited Lu Dai to sit down, and then said: "Under Chengying, this is Sun You, the two of us temporarily live in Gaomi, go back and forth to Xuzhou to sell grain, rely on the day, but also blocked by the rain, see this old post, temporarily for rest, after seeing Mr. arrive, recall the pain of the fire, so he ordered people to give fire, so that the Mr. family can be exempted from the pain of smoking!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Dai arched his hand and replied: "The two are really righteous people, now that the world is declining, they are all thinking about their own affairs, don't care about others, like two people who are so enthusiastic, less!" ”

Sun Qian has been observing Lu Dai, seeing that his words and deeds are all courteous, first he is happy, and then he sees that he does not squint when talking to people, his face is full of righteousness, and he knows that he must be a gentleman, and he intends to make friends, so he tentatively said: "I have heard for a long time that Xuzhou Taofu Jun is humble and courteous, and a character like Mr. will be reused when he returns to Xuzhou!" ”

Cheng Gongying's heart moved after hearing this, and he instantly understood what Sun Qian meant, and looked at Lu Dai with a smile.

Lu Dai listened to Sun Qian's question, did not doubt it, shook his head slightly, and said: "Tao Gongzu was upright when he was young, had great ambitions, and could benefit one party, but now in his twilight years, his temperament has changed greatly, he admires fame on the outside, but he is not upright on the inside, and he is promoted and dismissed by preference, and he is no longer famous!" ”

Cheng Gongying's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and continued: "Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't come out with Mr.'s talent?" ”

Lu Dai laughed after hearing this, shook his head and sighed: "What talent do I have, but I am literate, compared with Zhang Zigang of the same county and Zhang Zibu of Pengcheng, it is as straight as sand and dust than Haoyue!" ”

Sun Qian is a native of Beihai, so he knows a lot about the characters in Xuzhou, and after listening to Lu Dai, he asked: "But Pengcheng Zhang Zhao and Guangling Zhang Honghu, who are known as "Erzhang"? ”

Lu Dai saw that Sun Qian also knew the two of them, his face was happy, and he nodded and replied: "It's these two people, Mr. has also heard of it?" ”

Sun Qian saw that Cheng Gongying's face was at a loss, and explained: "These two are both under the tutelage of famous Confucianism, and Zhang Zhao is under the tutelage of Baihou Zi'an, studying "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period".

Zhang Hong first studied "I Ching" and "Ouyang Shangshu" with Han Zong, and then studied "Han Poems", "Book of Rites" and "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" with Puyang Min.

It's just that I heard that both of them avoided trouble in Jiangdong in their early years, and they are not in Xuzhou now, so I don't know if it's true or not! ”

After hearing Daqi, Lu Dai looked at Sun Qian and replied: "Mr. knows Erzhang so well, he is by no means an ordinary person, and what he said is not bad at all!"

These two people are the same as me, because of the previous Yellow Turban turmoil, the people of Xuzhou have avoided it, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong have avoided trouble in Jiangdong, and they have never returned! ”

Sun Gan was very disappointed after hearing this, and replied: "I can't hide it, although I am not talented, I have studied with Zheng Xuan and Zheng Shi, so I know a lot about Xuzhou scribes!" ”

When Lu Dai heard that Sun Qian had been a teacher with Zheng Xuan, his face was full of praise, and he sighed: "But it is a high disciple of Zheng Gong, no wonder!" ”

The three of them are all knowledgeable people, sitting opposite each other, talking about the customs and customs from Xuzhou celebrities, and from Dong thieves and disasters to the country, talking about the turmoil in the world, speculating in words, talking very happily, and they all have a great sense of seeing each other and hating each other!

Unconsciously, it was the middle of the night, Lu Dai hugged his fists and said: "It's late, tomorrow you still need to hurry, so you won't bother anymore, if the two of you arrive in Xuzhou in the future, you can come to Hailing when it's convenient, and Dai will sweep the couch to greet you!" ”

Cheng Gongying and Sun Qian returned the salute together, saying: "When you see you, you hate to meet late, if you have leisure in the day, you will go to bother!" ”

After the three of them finished speaking, they got up together, saluted each other, cherished each other, and Lu Dai replied.

After Lu Dai left, Cheng Gongying said to Sun Gan: "This person is not good, he can be a good talent, but his reputation is not obvious, it can be seen that there are so many buried people in the world, and now this person is stumbling, and he should think of recruiting for the general!" ”

Sun Qian nodded in agreement and replied, "The two of us coincide!" ”

After saying that, they looked at each other and smiled, and then they rested.

Lu Dai returned to his residence, and everyone who accompanied him fell asleep, only his wife and his wife were equal.

When Mrs. Lu saw Lu Dai returning, she hurriedly got up to greet her, and asked, "Why is Mr. so late?" ”

Lu Dai saw the worry in his wife's eyes, and said with a smile: "But I met two confidants and had a very happy conversation, but I forgot the time for a while, which made Mrs. worry and sin!" ”

Mrs. Lu knew Lu Dai's character, shook her head in disgust, and said, "It's not early, you still need to hurry tomorrow, let's rest early!" ”

Lu Dai was also a little sleepy, so he didn't say anything more, and walked to the mat that had been laid out and lay down to rest.

Who knew that after a while, Lu Dai opened his eyes suddenly, then sat up, and muttered, "Sun You? Zheng Gong's protégé? Could it be Beihai Sun Qiansun Gonghu? ”

As soon as Lu Dai thought of this, the doubts in his heart were instantly solved, because in the Beihai War, Lu Yi and his subordinates were widely known to the world, especially like Cheng Gongying, Zhang He, Tai Shici and others, who were even more famous.

"Sun You, Sun Gongyou, Cheng Ying Cheng Gongying, hahahaha, so it is, so it is, it seems that Xuzhou is going to change the sky!"

Lu Dai wanted to lie down on the table again, but because of the excitement in his heart, he was sleepy and couldn't sleep anymore.

The next morning, after a day and a night of rain, the air became fresh, and when Lu Dai went out listlessly with two dark circles under his eyes, he found Cheng Gongying and Sun Qian waiting in the courtyard.

Seeing Lu Dai go out, Cheng Gongying smiled and said: "I wanted to set off, but I suddenly remembered that Dinggong also returned to Xuzhou, and he happened to be on the same road, so it is better to go together, and you can take care of it on the road!" ”

Although he had guessed the identities of the two, Lu Dai didn't break it, and said: "It's so good, with the two of you, no matter how long the journey is, you won't feel bored!" ”

The three of them went together, Lu Dai's family followed the rear of the Peng family's caravan, and Cheng Gongying ordered Guan Hai to send five people to the rear to protect them.

Lu Dai looked at the five Xiandeng dead soldiers who went to protect his family, and said meaningfully: "Looking at these family members, they all have the atmosphere of the army, and they are really good!" ”
