There was no one in front of the door. Erniu stepped forward and knocked on the knocker. When he was young, there was a reply from inside: "Wait a minute, honorable guest!" When he was young, the door opened with a bang, and a boy of fifteen or sixteen appeared at the door, bowed and said, "Honored guest is here...... Oh, Brother Niu! Visit! ”

Erniu said: "Mr. Lu wants to transport goods to Kaifeng, and he dares to ask Uncle Bai to take the car." ”

The boy said, "Mr. Lu? But Puyang Lu's family? ”

Lu Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Don't dare to ask, it's a cheap family." ”

The boy said: "When you meet an old man in a foreign country, your next servant is also Puyang Lu's family." ”

Lu Zhong glanced at the boy up and down, and said apologetically: "There are few people in Puyang City who have a relationship with the little brother......

The boy said: "The family has been away from Puyang for three generations, and it is less than the middle father's front of the stage." Now living in Handan. ”

Lu Zhong said: "Yes, yes, the Lu family moved to Handan." The two were talking lively, and a man inside said: "No, who is outside the door, why don't you invite in to entertain guests!" ”

The boy said, "No, it's ridiculous! The second bull brother leads Mr. Lu to the car! ”

The man inside said, "Please sit down in the hall and let me change my clothes." ”

Lü Buwei closed the door, led Lu Zhong and his entourage to the hall, sat down in the guest seat, brought a clay pot, poured out a bowl of water, and saluted Lu Zhong first, saying: "This is the clear water in the east pole of the house, please use it!" Then, the three of them were saluted in turn. After the four of them finished drinking, a voice came from behind the screen: "Where is Mr. Lu, see you Bai Gen." ”

The four of them hurriedly left the table and stood up, arching their hands on the right side of the screen, and Lu Zhong replied: "Puyang Lu clan respectfully see Uncle Bai." ”

A middle-aged man turned to the left of the screen. Lu Buwei stood at the bottom and said: "This is Uncle Bai, the owner of the family!" Everyone saluted again, the guests sat down, and Lu Buwei wanted to retreat. Bai Gen said: "Since it is the Puyang Lu family, it can be called the old Qing family, and there is no need to avoid it." Lu Buwei replied cautiously: "Oh! "Sit down on the side of the door.

Lu Zhong introduced the two accompanying people one by one: Uncle Tang of Xingyang, Uncle Zheng Guo Zheng. Bai Gen said: "Uncle Tang of Xingyang has been famous for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it. Uncle Zheng is dignified and must be very human. Both of them said, "How dare you! ”

Lu Zhong said: "Dare to ask Uncle Bai, where is your hometown?" ”

Bai Gen said: "The ancestral home is Luoyang. And the four seas are scattered, not for a lifetime. ”

Lu Zhong asked in surprise: "Dare Mo Luoyang after Baizu?" ”

Bai Gen said: "The ancestor Bai Gui was given an apprenticeship in Luoyang, so there are many businessmen in the world who come out of the Bai family." Bai Zu didn't dare to know! ”

Lu Zhong said: "The ancestors have a lot of favors from Bai Zu, and they don't forget it. I don't want to see the heir of the Fortune here. Hurriedly avoiding the table and bowing, Bai Gong hurriedly returned the salute. The two have a previous relationship, and they have been sighing for a long time. Since the two are world friends, Lu Zhong decided to call Bai Father, but Bai Gen repeatedly refused to allow it, and finally agreed to call each other "brother".

The title is established, Bai Gen said: "Uncle Tang is from Xingyang, Uncle Zheng is from Zheng Guo, Brother Lu is from Puyang, and the so-called world is also a family." ”

Erniu said: "The third brother of the contempt clan came to introduce him in person, and he is also a family. ”

Bai Gen said: "Could it be the third brother of Wei Wushuma?" As soon as he said that, Lu Zhong didn't know how to respond for a while. Zheng Anping continued: "Uncle Bai and the third brother know each other? ”

Bai Gen said: "Close to the countryside and neighbors, how can those who can enter the Wei Wu Army?" Famous in the township, it is also appropriate! ”

Zheng Anping said: "The third brother entered Liangxi Post as an official, and he wants to know everything in the township!" ”

Bai Gong said: "But I haven't heard it yet." In this way, the ancestral ancestral hall of the Ma family is also glorious! Uncle Zheng has to meet Mr. Lu, and he also has his ambition, and he has a soaring appearance. ”

Zheng Anping didn't know what to say, so he had to respond vaguely: "More auspicious words!" ”

Lu Zhong seemed to take advantage of this interruption, thought about the rhetoric, and said: "Uncle Tang and Uncle Zheng are like-minded, and they have to be taken care of all the way, and they are fortunate to have nothing to lose." ”

Bai Gen said: "Puyang Lu clan, with the art of war to enter the business, there are many unexpected moves. Dare to ask where you want to go today, and the servant can be effective? ”

Lu Zhong said: "I want to borrow a car and take a hundred rides to Qifeng to transport grain to Zhengguo." "Transporting grain to Zheng Guo is a pretext that has been negotiated on the road. Originally, Lu Shi and the others wanted to say that they were from Zheng Guo, but they were drunk by Erniu and broke their identity as Ma San, since they were from Daliang, Lu Zhong didn't know how to say it suddenly, so he simply vaguely said where he came from, and only said that he wanted to go to Zheng Guo. Because only Zheng Guo can eat a hundred grain trucks nearby, and Huayang is Korean, saying Zheng Guo is of course kinder than saying Daliang.

Bai Gong groaned: "I want to ride a hundred times...... Unsealed...... To Zheng Guo...... The servant heard that the seal was broken by the Qin people, but I don't know if it is? ”

Lu Zhong was taken aback again in his heart, and hurriedly said, "How did my brother know? ”

Bai Gong said: "I have heard it. Three or two days ago, Qin broke the Great Wall of Wei, and he knew everything for four miles; Yesterday, it was rumored that the Qin people broke the seal. If you want to open the seal, Xiaoyi is also, how can you be the same as the Great Wall, and you will break it. ”

Lu Zhong put his sorrow on his face and said, "My brother's own business is a pearl, and the west road is cut off by Qin." The training of 'if you want to grow money, take down the grain', on the occasion of the autumn harvest season, change to grain and rice. and was cut off by the Qin people......"

Bai Gen said: "Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, many of them have not been levied by farmers, and the rent of market profits has been emphasized, and the merchants have been wiped out. I regret it now. When the Qin people leave the country, they must set up a military market, which is open to nothing. However, it is heavy on agriculture and the most expensive grain millet. If Brother Lu has food, he can get a big price; If you want to get into ......"

Lu Zhong said: "I was about to transport grain into Zheng Guo, and I originally intended that the grain would be cheap after the autumn, and I could get a long money." Isn't that a loss! ”

Bai Gen said: "There are thousands of ways to do business, and my Bai clan only recognizes one." ”

Lu Zhong said: "People abandon me to take, people take me to give!" ”

Bai Gen said: "That's exactly what Brother Lu said, can Brother Lu do it?" ”

Lu Zhong said: "I haven't got it." ”

Bai Gen suddenly turned to Lu Buwei and said, "Buwei can have something to say?" ”

Lü Buwei said: "The businessman must take advantage of the time, if the beast and the bird are hairy, the strategy of Yu Yiyin and Lu Shang, Sun Wu uses soldiers, and the Shang Yang practice is also." ”

Bai Gong said: "I can memorize the book backwards, how can I use it?" ”

Lu Buwei said: "How can you predict it when the time comes? The speaker said, long sleeves are good at dancing, and many prices are good. Uncle Lu has a lot of price, and there must be a good person. ”

Lu Zhong said: "The words of the young brother are the key to business opportunities. Dare to ask Brother Bai to borrow the steps of the young brother! ”

Bai Gen said: "If you don't learn business, you should use it." A good student assists Brother Lu, not only showing the picture in his chest, but also the love of the whole clan. ”

Lu Buwei said: "Respectfully! ”

Bai Gong said: "There are hundreds of cars, not a few." Since the total stops. Huayang four cars, should also be evenly stained, not wasted. Lu Buwei responded one by one. Bai Gen said to Lu Zhong again: "There are four car shops in the four cities of Huayang, and they help each other. Hundreds of carriages, if you don't dare to know what your brother does, you will be in the same position with the four families. ”

Lu Zhong said: "My brother has this intention, and if I don't mean my brother, I will do it, and my brother will feel it." ”

Bai Gen said: "Since Mr. Lu has this intention, he can invite the three families to discuss." Brother Lu, please sit down, it will be fine. ”

Lu Zhong said: "Thanks to Brother Bai's righteous help, how can my brother be." I wish it would be repaid on another day! The two politely exchanged words for a while, and Lu Buwei left. Lu Zhong was afraid that Erniu would make a mistake again, so he said: "Brother Niu can go back for the time being, and give Uncle Bai's matter to my brother and elders, may he have no worries." Erniu resigned. The four people in the hall chatted with each other, Bai, Lu, and Tang all had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they talked a lot, only Zheng Anping, who was silent and said little. Bai Gong deliberately provoked with words, but he did not understand the point.
