Lu Zhong said: "Han Shu is hindered, and my brother must have something to deal with!" ”

Bai Gen said: "Brother Lu said it." The younger brother is not talented, so he can only give money and food, and stay in the township, and send people to wait—but only three or five people, which can still be maintained. For thirty people......"

Lu Zhong said: "I know everything about Brother Bai's words. When to enter the city, how to see, I hope that the brother will instruct, and the brother will not be taught. ”

Bai Gong said: "It's late today, meet at sunrise tomorrow morning, and enter the city together." Everything is answered by the younger brother, and there is a question for the brother, but the brother can speak directly. ”

Lu Zhong said: "It's all up to my brother and others to maintain it. Untied a small bag from his waist, took out four gold cakes, handed them to Bai Gen, and said: "My brother is out, and it is quite inconvenient to have at hand, so only these four golds should be in a hurry for the time being." If there is a shortage, please help the elders, and when the accounts arrive, my brother will never say anything. ”

When the four families saw the four golds, they immediately seemed to have unloaded their burdens, and all of them looked gentle, and said in unison: "How dare you!" ”

Bai Gong took the four golds and examined them carefully, but saw that the gold was overflowing and full of color; and passed down in turn, everyone was undoubtedly different, and said: "Brother Lu is generous, and the fruit is not small." Brother is not talented, I am willing to do my best to make it happen! When will my brother leave? ”

Lu Zhong said: "From Huayang to Kaifeng, how long does it take?" Where to rest? Where to point? ”

Bai Gen said: "Unsealing is our common way, resting, sharpening, and raising grain, all have a fixed place. After eating, we set off, and dusk arrived three days later. ”

Lu Zhong said: "Leave on the day, but what? ”

Chen He said: "Brother's trip is not comparable to three or five times, and the mercenary car and maid, raising food and straw, are not a few, and they can be done overnight." According to my brother's opinion, tomorrow I will prepare for a day, and everyone and my brother will wait for each other, and then set off on the next day, so as not to be in a hurry. ”

Bai Gen said: "What Brother Chen said is true. The team of 100 times is rare and thoughtful unless it is carefully planned. There are occasional mistakes, and there is no regret. ”

Lu Zhong did not insist, and said: "What the brothers say, the younger brother dares not to be taught. ”

Bai Gen said: "It's late today, all the gentlemen have returned home and planned carefully. Before sunrise tomorrow, we will discuss with the despised line. These four golds, each brought home, how much profit and loss, will be calculated later. ”

Lu Zhong said: "That's exactly the reason. Bai Gong took out the scales, weighed the gold cakes, and wrote down the weight of each gold cake. At the end, sake is served, and each one is drunk.

After the head of the Lu family went out, he said to Lu Zhong: "Seeing that my brother and others are going to be busy tomorrow, there is still a waning moon tonight, my brother has talked about the host, and my brother should not give up." ”

At first, Lu Zhong was quite suspicious of the head of the family, but later he did not say a word during the discussion, which was very strange. After going out, he saw his appointment, and said: "I met in a foreign country, and I was about to visit." Said to Uncle Tang and Zheng Anping: "The old family made an appointment, and I didn't dare to disobey." Dare to ask the uncle to report the details here, and the servant will return if he omits. Both of them said: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the head of the Lu family and Lu Zhong traveled westward along the avenue outside Huayang City, gossiping all the way. At the corner of the city, the head of the Lu family saw that there was no one around, and took out a jade jue from his arms. ”

The head of the Lu family said: "The word Shang Father will be mentioned again." My name is Bojie, and I can be called Lu Bo. ”

Lu Zhong said: "My brother is also known as Lu Bo. is both a father and a Lu family, and is willing to be commensurate with the father! ”

Lu Bojie said: "What do you call Kunzhong?" ”

Lu Zhong said: "I lost my school when I was young, and I didn't get my name, but I was commensurate with him." ”

Lu Bojie said: "What is the young name?" ”

Lu Zhong said embarrassedly: "My parents are also commensurate with my uncle. ”

Lu Bojie said: "My Puyang Lu family, after the number Taigong, is so unbearable, it is really unfair!" ”

Lu Zhong didn't know why it made Lu Bojie angry, so he had to keep silent. Seeing Lu Bojie's tears, Hu Er said: "After the Taigong, the Qi clan is also, what does the Puyang Lu clan have to do with it!" Lu Zhong secretly complained in his heart, feeling that Lu Bojie was an unreliable person. Puyang Lu's family is out of Jiang Ziya and Lu Shang, but it is just a common practice for ordinary people to exalt themselves, and the speaker and listener will not take it seriously, and Lu Bojie seems to be really concerned, and he is sad that he is not a descendant of Lu Shang, isn't it crazy! But this person holds a jade jue, which is a token of the Changmen of the Puyang Lu family. Although the Lu family's Changmen has long been out of news, when worshipping the ancestors, everyone always has to sigh, saying that if Nagato Yujue is there, the ancestors will be happy.

When he was embarrassed, Lu Bojie suddenly said: "Since you call me the father, I call you the uncle and the middle son?" ”

Lu Zhong looked helpless, so he had to say: "Inherit the step, the father cares." ”

After clarifying the title, Lu Bojie seemed to be very satisfied with his wit, and his mood rose, and he said: "Zhongzi has been to Huayang, but he has a trust, and he will do his best!" ”

Lu Zhong had no choice but to say: "But I have to take care of my father, how fortunate is it!" ”

Lu Bojie said: "You don't have to. …… In front is Lu Xing. ”

Lu Zhong looked up, on the side of the avenue, a house with its back against the city wall, facing the west door. Lu Bojie called to open the door, led Lu Zhong to the back house, and led his wives and concubines and children to meet. Then go back to the front hall and meet the people. Lu Zhong greeted them one by one. I came empty-handed, and I didn't prepare a gift, so I touched it in my arms and sleeves, borrowed a tray and put it on the bits and pieces I found, held it in front of Lu Bojie, and gave it away. Lu Bojie did not shirk, and was very considerate to classify them, summoned the people, and in front of Lu Zhong, he instructed which one to give to whom. Lu Zhong felt that the distribution of Lu Bojie was very reasonable, and he was a very shrewd person, and he couldn't help but think of the unreliable Lu Bojie on the road, and he didn't know which was the true face of Lu Bojie.

After some excitement, Lu Zhong thought about whether he should say goodbye and leave, after all, he really didn't have any special friendship with this Nagato, and he had to think about it again to pave the way for the future. Lu Bojie said suddenly: "Is there still a golden cake on Zhongzi's body?" Lu Zhong looked over in surprise, not knowing how to answer. Lu Bojie added: "The golden cake is difficult to use. If Zhongzi has it, he will exchange some money, which will be convenient in the morning and evening. ”

Lu Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "What the Father of the Steps said, you should be taught. The only cake is no more than a pound, which is easy to carry; If you exchange money, it is 5,000 yuan, and it weighs 30 catties. Quite inconvenient. ”

Lu Bojie said: "No." Gold is light and money is heavy, but gold is used less, and money is used more. Zhongzi Kunzhong came at night and needed Jia grain and car, 30 yuan for grain and stone, and 10 yuan for the car day, how to make gold? Small households in the township, why exchange money? ”

Lu Zhong said: "The lesson of the step father is yes. Dare to ask the father, when to exchange geometry? ”

Lu Bojie said: "Geometry? You are alone here, can you meet the geometry? A loaf of bread is five thousand, how shall thou hold forth? ”

Lu Zhong said: "The lesson of the step father is yes. On the day when my brothers and others come to worship the Father, please redeem it. ”

Lu Bojie said: "Foolish, Zhongzi." When you come at night, you need to use Qian Jami's car, what a day! ”

Lu Zhong had no choice but to say again: "The lesson of the step father is yes." The boy is stupid, and he only wants to follow the words of his father. ”

Lu Bojie said: "Don't say it early! For your consideration, there are only more than ten households in Mayi, how much food do you have? In addition to the ration, it was only forty or fifty stones, but only two thousand dollars. Thou shalt take three thousand pieces of money first, and when thou shalt finish the work at night, thou shalt come and get the rest of the money on the day. ”
