I am the grandson of Lu Bohao, surnamed Lu Minghu, the word Zihu, we are not here for you, but Ah Weng Lu Bohao arranged for us to kill pigs and set up a banquet, specially entertaining the two. Lu Hu hurriedly explained.

Oh, you're the grandson of your uncle Lu Boxuan? You said that sharpening knives is just to kill pigs, can you let me see it? Cao Cao said half-incredulously, Cao Cao has always been suspicious, and if he doesn't dispel his doubts, he won't believe what Lu Hu just said.

Although Cao Cao did not fully trust Lu Hu and the Lu family, Cao Cao at least had no murderous intentions towards the Lu family, and the ring head sword in his hand was returned to the sheath, which made Lu Hu's tense nerves relax a little.

Lu Hu knew Cao Cao's temperament, so he personally led Cao Cao and Chen Gong to the kitchen to take a look, and saw a black pig tied by ropes, and a stove was set up next to it, and a pottery cauldron was placed on the stove, and boiling water was boiling in the pot, and it was boiling and boiling, isn't this just for killing pigs?

Mengde, we almost killed a good person by mistake! Chen Gong and Cao Cao looked at each other and said.

Cao Cao was also a little remorseful when he heard this, so he asked who was killed by Lu Hu?

Lü Hu told him that the person who was killed was the butcher of the village, named Zhang Tu, and Lü Hu also said that he would deal with Zhang Tu's aftermath when Ah Weng returned, so that Cao Cao and the others should not worry.

That being said, Zhang Tu's body had to be disposed of, and several people worked neatly, wrapped the body in a waste straw mat, temporarily threw it in the firewood room, and washed the ground with clean water until no blood stains were visible.

Lu Hu asked Cao Cao to take off his bloody robe, wipe the blood stains with water, and make things seamless, so that Cao Cao and the others were impressed by Lu Hu.

Cao Cao and Chen Gong saw that the kitchen was busy, so they stayed in the kitchen to help, while helping to kill pigs, while chatting with the Lu family, they learned that Lu Bohao and his wife have a total of three sons, named Lu Da, Lu Er, Lu San, and now they are all married, and the three daughters-in-law of Lu Bohao are helping to add firewood and boiling water, and Lu Hu is the son of Lu Da and the eldest grandson of Lu Bohao.

Everyone hurriedly asked Cao Cao for the names of the two, and Cao Cao said: I am the son of Cao Song, surnamed Cao Mingcao, the word Mengde, Lu Boyu and my father are friends of eight worships, and I want to call him an uncle in terms of seniority.

and solemnly introduced to everyone: The person next to me, surnamed Chen Minggong, is my best friend!

Cao Cao did not dare to say that he was wanted by the imperial court to prevent people with ulterior motives from acting against him. Lu Hu naturally knew Cao Cao's details, but he never mentioned it.

The night is getting darker, and by night the weather is getting a little colder. People stay by the fire, and their palms are soaked in hot water.

When everyone slaughtered the pig and removed the fur, Lu Bohao, who was selling wine, also came back.

I saw Lu Bohao holding a torch and riding a donkey into the village, and the cloth bags hanging on both sides of the donkey were full of fruits and vegetables, and Lu Bohao had a big wine pot with a square mouth hanging around his waist, and he could smell the aroma of wine from afar.

"Meng Dexian's nephew, the old man is back." As soon as Lu Bohao got off the donkey, he called Cao Caodao.

Cao Cao, Chen Gong and Lu Hu hurriedly came out to greet each other, and when they saw that the donkey was full of melons, fruits and vegetables, they came over to help.

"Grandson, is the pig killed?" Lu Boyu turned his head to Lu Hu and said.

Lu Hu told him that the black pig was not only slaughtered, but also dealt with, and was about to be put into the pot.

"Good!" Lu Boyu began to enter the house, grabbed a pottery plate full of melons and fruits, put it in front of the desk, and brought a few wine bottles to Lu Hu, and asked Lu Hu to pour all the wine.

He also added oil to the flame on the lampstand, so that the wick burned more vigorously, and the whole hall was warm and bright.

After a while, a large plate of fragrant pork was served, and only in these years can large families eat meat, and ordinary people can eat wild vegetables and drink millet porridge.

The Lu Zhuang family has a big business, in Lu Hu's words, the Lu family is a wealthy class, and Lu Bohao is a proper landlord.

When Lu Bohao was young, his mind was flexible, his hands and feet were nimble, and he went to Chenggao County to buy goods before dawn every day, a flat shoulder, and two bamboo baskets were pressed on his shoulders, which made him tired enough, but for the sake of life, for the livelihood of the family, no matter how hard and tired he was, he had to carry it.

After a few years of small business, Lu Bo saved some money, and used this money to buy more than 20 acres of land, planting wheat, sorghum, etc., accumulating a lot, and his family became richer and richer.

People are rich, fame is also big, a big family in the town fell in love with Lu Bohao, so he married her daughter to Lu Bohao, Lu Bohao has the support of his mother's family, the business has become bigger, the scale of farming has also become larger, and he has become a well-known local rich family.

However, there is a hurdle in Lu Bohao's heart, that is, from the ancestor of the Lu family to his generation, after more than ten generations, so far no one has studied and become an official, which makes Lu Bohao extremely unwilling.

After Lu Boyao married the daughter of a big family, he gave birth to three sons, and after having a son, Lu Boyao put all his efforts and energy into the education of his children.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and hired a well-known private school teacher in the county to teach his son.

Mr. is very attentive to teaching, but Lu Bohao's three sons, except for the third child, are not reading materials.

The eldest reads until he is thirteen years old, and he doesn't want to read anything, and the second is even more naughty, and since he was a child, he likes to go up to the tree to dig birds' nests, and go into the water to catch fish and turtles, but he doesn't like to read, especially the Four Books and Five Classics, which sounds like a monk chanting the scriptures, and the chatter is endless.

The old three are very smart and study hard, and the husband is very satisfied with him.

Mr. praised the third child: the roots and understanding are good!

Lu Santian really thought that he could make a splash from now on, and then become an official with filial piety.

But reality slaps you in the face!

Lu San, born in a small landlord family, is not even a hero, and wants to be filial and honest, just like an idiot's dream.

If you want to be an official during the Han Dynasty, there is only two ways to raise filial piety and the imperial court, don't think about it, there is still a chance to raise filial piety, but the opportunity is slim.

The conditions for raising filial piety are extremely harsh, the procedures are even more complicated, and there are many subtle factors involved, such as family background, teacher-student relationship, personal talent, etc., the most important thing is that most people work hard for a lifetime and can't even touch the threshold of filial piety.

Lu San hit a wall one after another on the road of filial piety, and in the end he could only be disheartened, got married early, and followed his father to take care of the family business.

Although the Lu family is not a family of eunuchs, it is also a wealthy local family.

With such a family background, Lu Hu has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child.

"Eat, eat, see what I do?" Seeing that Cao Cao and the others were slow to move, Lu Boyu hurriedly urged.

"Such a good meal, just a few of us?" Cao Cao asked a little puzzled.

The Lu family has eight or nine people, and they should eat together.

Looking at the banquet again, in addition to himself and Chen Gong, only Lu Bohao and Lu Hu, the grandsons, were there.

"The family is vulgar and unsightly, so let them eat next door, don't take care of him, let's eat our own." Lu Boyao explained.

Lu Boyu let his family have a table alone, and as the head of the family, he naturally had to accompany the guests, and let Lu Hu work on the side.

"Since my uncle is so sincere, then I will be disrespectful." Cao Cao didn't say much when he heard this.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Boyu with a grateful face: Thank you uncle for your hospitality!

Where is this? If it weren't for Chen County's help, how could my nephew Meng De live to this day? Lu Boluxe raised the bottle, the first to pay tribute to Chen Gong, thank him for his righteous interpretation of Cao Cao, and abandon the official to follow, this courage and loyalty made Lu Bolux very admired!

Uncle's words hurt me! Chen Gong also raised a bottle to pay tribute to Lu Boluxury.

"The meat tube is enough, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold. Grandson, pour wine for the two uncles! Lu Boxuan beckoned Cao Cao and the others to eat meat, and asked Lu Hu on the side to pour them wine.

Lu Hu walked up to Cao Cao, filled him up, and then poured it for Chen Gong.

Cao Cao and Chen Gong hurriedly beckoned Lu Hu to eat together, even if Lu Hu wanted to eat, Lu Boxuan didn't speak, how could he have the qualifications to eat?

"Since your two uncles have spoken, let's sit down and eat together." Lu Boyu asked Lu Hu to kneel beside him.

Lu Hu sighed secretly, traveling to ancient times, everything is good, but there are too many rules, and there are some strange rules.

For example, kneeling and sitting, the buttocks are pressed on the legs and feet, which is particularly uncomfortable, and the legs are paralyzed after sitting for a long time, and there will be cramps if you don't do it.

For another example, the rules during the banquet, the elders don't use chopsticks, how dare the younger ones eat first?

If the elders don't speak, how dare the younger generations speak?

Let you eat to eat, let you sit to sit, Lu Hu really can't stand it!

But now that I have come to this new environment, I can only slowly adapt to it, get used to it, and it will naturally get better.

"Virtuous nephew, I heard that the imperial court is going to arrest you everywhere, why are you here?" Lu Bo drank three rounds and said to Cao Cao with a mouthful of wine.

"Gongtai and I originally wanted to go to Qian County, but the main roads from Zhongmu to Qiao County have been blocked by the official army, so we have to go retrograde to Chenggao, and want to transfer to Dong County through Chenggao and then return to Qiao County." Cao Cao said helplessly.

Chen Gong added: "From Zhongmu to Chenggao completely rounded back, and took a lot of wrongful roads in vain, but there was no way to do it, plus the two of us were exhausted, and we were about to starve to death in the wilderness, it was Meng De who said that Chenggao Lu Bo was his closest relative, and we only dared to take refuge."

When Lu Bo heard this, he said: I see! To be honest, the old man and Meng De's father Cao Song are friends for eight worships, and they have a lifelong friendship.

What do you mean by that? Cao Cao and Chen Gong both asked with some curiosity.

I think that when my husband was still young, he was once captured by bandits, if it wasn't for your father Cao Song who brought troops to rescue, I would have been dead for a long time. The old man will always remember the kindness of Jugao! Lu Bohao said quite emotionally.

I see! Cao Cao suddenly said.

Cao Cao didn't know about Cao Song and Lu Bohao's past, and it was the first time he heard that the two had such an experience.

"Your father Cao Song sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that he moved his family to Chenliu, you don't have to go back to your hometown of Chenliu, go directly to Chenliu." Lu Bohao delivered an important message to Cao Cao, but it helped Cao Cao a lot.

Thank you uncle! Cao Cao hurriedly got up and thanked Lu Bohao.

"What are Meng De's plans to go to Chenliu here?" Lu Boyao couldn't help but ask.

Chen Gong and Lu Hu both looked at Cao Cao and waited for him to speak.
