Lu Xian, forty-one years old, wears a scholar's bedding on his head, with a green jade inlay in the middle. He has a broad forehead, single eyelids drooping heavily, and his black eyes are shining, but his face is pale, maybe after a big shock.
I am weak, or I am suffering from illness and poor health.
Coming from a noble family, it was indeed different. When they saw Lu Xian sitting upright and kneeling in the middle of the horse, with the aura of a master who had been there for a long time, when Zhu Kui and the other four were led to the carriage by the guard captain.
A voice came from the car: "The four benefactors are getting in the car. These servants will take care of the remaining chores." The voice was powerful, but it also revealed weakness.
The carriage was very large, with room for eight to ten people, and three horses pulling the reins. Zhu Kui and his group were not polite, and got on the carriage, and knelt down opposite Lu Xian. It had been eleven years since they came to the Han Dynasty, and they knelt down.
Etiquette has almost entered Zhu Kui's bones.
Lu Xian made some excuses for the four people in front of him. They were all well-dressed. He could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary rangers, but people of some status. Then he asked with a smile: "Xian, thank you for your generous help. I must be very grateful. I don't know."
What do you call the four of you?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Zhao Da and Wu Fan gestured to Zhu Kui to speak and let him make the decision. The two of them were behind him as the person in charge.
Zhu Kui understood what the two of them meant and was not pretentious. He introduced himself openly and openly. Lu Xian's people noticed this small gesture and heard the voice: "This boy is Zhu Kui of Moling County. He is just a man."
common people."
"This is my brother from the same village, Wang Cheng.
"Those two are Mr. Zhao Da from Gaoyou County, Guangling, and Mr. Wu Fan from Shangyu County, Kuaiji."
The introduction of a few sentences was simple and clear. After hearing this, Lu Xian knew something in his heart. The two reckless and brave young men, especially Wang Cheng's bravery, had just met for the first time. It suddenly came to his mind that the pride of Jiangdong people was recorded in the book.
Overlord Xiang Ji.
Thinking back again, the names Zhao Da and Wu Fan, yes, when I remembered the related memories of the two, the smile on his face couldn't help but add a bit of intimacy, and he said: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wu, but I, Jiangdong
These are the two great fortune tellers who have become famous."
"Disrespect! Disrespect!"
Lu Xian's attention changed. Although he gave Zhu Kui and Zhu Kui, who introduced themselves as common people, a friendly smile, the delicate Zhu Kui had already noticed the subtle difference.
This made Zhu Kui feel a little angry, and a seed of disgust for the nobles was buried deep in his heart. He calmly watched Zhao Da and Wu Fan's answers.
The two of them looked at Lu Xian in front of them, who was rich and sullen, and seemed to be ill. They suddenly addressed him with a warm tone. They were aware of it, but did not climb up the pole. They maintained their respect, which made them feel uncomfortable.
The people retreated to the rear line, still indicating that Zhu Kui was the leader.
Just cupping his hands, Zhao Da said calmly: "I am not a great fortune teller. The person who wants to save Mr. Lu today is Mr. Zhu Xiaolang. If he is not willing to take action, the two of us are just outsiders and do not want to share this muddy water."
of."
"Uh!" Lu Xian was so stunned by this answer that he couldn't continue. However, he is the second most important person in the Lu family. His natural temperament is different from ordinary people. There is no embarrassment or dissatisfaction at all. Zhao Da and Wu Fan
They were quite famous in Jiangdong, and they often gave fortune-telling services to some nobles and merchants. Their families were not rich, and many people respected them, so they were in great demand.
Even the Lu family often asks fortune tellers to have their fortunes told, and the reward is quite large.
Lu Xian turned around to look at Zhu Kui with a smile. When he saw that the other person was looking at him with a smile in agreement, the smile and expression were exactly the same as his own, but there was a different meaning in it, as if he was telling himself that he had hit a wall, I
Although he is a commoner, he is not someone you can look down upon casually.
The answers given by Zhao Da and Wu Fan just now indeed made him feel very satisfied. In fact, if the two of them stayed aside and went to have sex with the eldest son of the Lu family, he would not be able to stop them.
Lu Xian felt that he should re-examine the commoner boy in front of him. He was really young. He was one year younger than his youngest son Lu Jun. However, although his son was smart, he was not as smart as the boy named Zhu Kui in front of him.
That magnanimity and calmness.
People from Moling County really have no impression of it, so they need to inquire more carefully. At this time, the guard leader led a small package back to the carriage and reported: "My eldest son, bring me what you want."
After he climbed into the carriage, he placed it in front of Lu Xian and then got out.
Lu Xian pushed the package in front of Zhu Kui. Since Zhu Kui and the other two were the ones taking the lead, he naturally gave him a thank you gift and said with a smile: "A little gold is not a sign of respect, so please accept it!"...
Zhu Kui glanced at Lu Xian and pressed his hand on the small package. He estimated the quantity, which was more than fifty taels. This big family is a big family, and they would spend so much money at once. He thought for a moment and thought
Thinking about it, he pushed it back and refused: "I heard that chivalrous people give kindness without asking for repayment. Although I am young, I understand this truth. I can't accept your money. I hope Mr. Lu will fulfill my chivalrous act."
.”
"This." Lu Xian hesitated for a moment. He, the Lu family, is the head of the four surnames in Jiangdong. He would never do anything to repay a favor, but Zhu Kui's words made it clear that he would not accept this monetary gift. You, Lu Xian, would not accept it.
If you give it by force, it will not fulfill the person's chivalrous act. The popular understanding is, I tell you, what I want is reputation, not your money.
Of course, you just need to understand these meanings in your heart and cannot say them out loud. Therefore, Lu Xian stopped forcing him, took back the package containing gold, put it aside, and said with a smile: "Young Master is a true righteous man! I will definitely let people know him in the future.
For publicity, so that more people can see that we have another young hero from Jiangdong!"
Lu Xian's words were a guarantee and a return for the life-saving grace. Tell Zhu Kui, don't worry, I will help you publicize this incident and help you gain some reputation.
"Xiao Langjun, you are from Moling County. Are you going back to Moling County today?" Lu Xian asked, changing the subject.
"The four of us are about to return to Moling County." There was nothing to hide, Zhu Kui replied directly.
"It just so happens that Mr. Lu is also going to Moling County, why don't we come together?"
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears!" Zhu Kui agreed with a smile.
Next, a guard took out wine and meat from the back of the carriage, and the five of them began to eat while chatting about the world, ancient and modern geography, etc. Of course, the story about Piaoxiang Tower was indispensable.
Lu Xian and other members of the gentry family had always done this. When they saw talented people from poor families, they extended an olive branch to recruit them, and they opened their mouths.
"Since the young man has a wonderful storyteller, why don't you go to my Tianfeng Tower instead of the Piaoxiang Tower in Zhaoban City? In Lu's opinion, you would like to come to my Piaoxiang Tower. If you are willing to come, this Tianfeng Tower
Everything will be taken care of by you."
"Also, I can arrange for little brother Wang Cheng to study in our Lu family, hire a famous teacher to teach him, and hire a first-class sword instructor to practice martial arts. He will definitely become a general in the future."
"Do you agree with this arrangement?"
This Lu Xian openly offered conditions to recruit people. Zhu Kui refused to comment, but asked: "The eldest son is very kind, but if you let me become the shopkeeper and deacon of Tianfeng Tower, what arrangements should be made for the previous shopkeeper and deacon?"
, where to go?”
"Haha, that's easy." Lu Xian laughed. The laughter made him feel a little uncomfortable for a while. He coughed a few times and drank a few glasses of wine before he calmed down. He said slowly: "The young man likes it.
Just ask him to help you. If the young man doesn't like it, I will arrange for him to do other things."
After hearing this, Zhu Kui shook the wine glass in his hand, put it down, looked calmly, a ray of murderous intent flashed through, and said in a cold voice: "Arrange somewhere else? Or help the boy? Haha, I'm afraid he will be even more jealous of the boy.
You will eat my flesh and drink my blood. This kid is asking for your own death. I would never dare to agree. I can only feel ashamed of the eldest son's invitation."
