Lu Yang's salute to Liu Cheng was very grand. It was the most solemn, formal and regular salute among Han rites. It was a formal etiquette gesture that would never be used in non-extremely solemn occasions.
Facing Lu Yang who suddenly made such a big gift to him, Liu Cheng was shocked and confused for a moment. He didn't understand what he meant, let alone how to deal with it.
At this moment, Lu Yang, who had finished the ceremony, spoke to Liu Cheng: "Shaojun is as kind as a mountain to the Lu family and is the savior of the Lu family. If Shaojun hadn't come to the rescue that day, the two thieves would have been so cruel
, it is certain that the whole Lu family will be killed.
Later, Meng Shaojun did not give up and took Lu Yang to Luoyang. He was entrusted with important tasks on the way. When he arrived in Luoyang, he was given the title of Chief Registrar of Qianshi. Such kindness will never be forgotten by Lu Yang!
Now Lu Yang is willing to take the young master as his master and serve as his master!"
Lu Yang said solemnly, then took out a dagger and stabbed his left arm to draw blood to show his determination.
Liu Cheng felt complicated and speechless for a moment.
Recognizing the Lord was something he had never experienced before.
Of course, in later generations, the masters called out by some little wives at certain times will not count.
Because this kind of title is just a title, as soon as this special time is over, these little ladies will immediately deny it.
Even in the sense of later generations, in the Han Dynasty, which was still in the feudal era, things like recognizing one's master were not common.
Especially people with a clean financial background are even more concerned about this.
As for Lu Yang, after getting along with him these days, Liu Cheng already knows that this guy is not a idiot, but has real talents and knowledge, and is a useful person.
Generally speaking, the more such a person is, the more highly they think of themselves and will not do such a thing easily.
Even before, with Lu Boshe's explanation, Lu Yang only followed him and did not really regard himself as the master. But now, why did he suddenly do this?
Lu Yang spoke again: "Don't be surprised, Young Master. I am really grateful to Young Master. I regard Young Master as my master, and I am not willing to be humble. On the contrary, it is for the sake of my future wealth!"
Yuan Jian and others can see that Shaojun is definitely not a thing in the pool, how can I not see it?
How can I, Lu Yang, be a person without vision and courage?
What I want is to be attached to your Jiwei, Shaojun, so that I can prosper and prosper, so that no one will wantonly harm the people I care about anymore, and I can have the ability to protect what I want to protect!"
After these words, especially the last sentence, Lu Yang's eyes turned red.
It was obvious that Lu Yang was greatly stimulated and deeply touched by seeing his relatives being killed right in front of him and being unable to do anything about it.
Liu Cheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said to Lu Yang, "Okay!"
At the same time, he stood up and reached out to help Lu Yang up...
"Besides studying, what else do you want to do?"
After Lu Yang, who recognized his master, left, Liu Cheng once again looked at Liu Shui beside him, wanting to hear his brother's plans for the future.
"I want to start a business and make a lot of money!"
I don't know if it was because Lu Yang was here for a long time as a buffer, or because witnessing Lu Yang's incident gave him a lot of inspiration and courage, when Liu Cheng asked Liu Shui again what he wanted to do,
When it came time to do something, Liu Shui became much more straightforward.
Without much hesitation, he opened his mouth and told Liu Cheng what he thought.
"In the past, our family was not well off, we were looked down upon by others, and our lives were miserable. If our family had more money, my uncle and aunt would not have no money for medical treatment..."
Liu Shui said, his voice deepened.
"Brother, I have thought clearly. A man cannot be without power for a day, and he cannot be without money for a day! It is really hard to live without money!
Someone in the family is sick and they can’t afford a doctor!
Many people are ashamed of merchants, but I am not!
I just want to be a big businessman and make a lot of money!
Let your relatives and future generations no longer look down on doctors when they get sick because they have no money, and have no choice but to wait for death!"
Looking at Liu Shui, whose fists clenched involuntarily and his eyes turned red, Liu Cheng smiled and reached out to pat Liu Shui on the shoulder.
"My brother doesn't think there is anything shameful about being a merchant. He relies on his own ability to earn money in a serious and upright manner, so that the elderly can be supported, the young can be supported, and the family can take care of food and clothing, so that they don't even have a pair of tight trousers.
Better than anything else!"
Liu Cheng said this to Liu Shui.
Then he put his hand on Liu Shui's shoulder and said solemnly: "The way of merchants is not, as the world thinks, something lowly and terrifying that endangers the country and the country.
Just like a knife.
The same knife, in the hands of a thief, is a great accomplice in robbing families and leaving people with wives and children.
But in the hands of a righteous master, it can become a powerful tool for defending the country and protecting the family.
The same is true for merchants.
It's just an emotionless tool.
Later, whether it is beneficial or harmful to the entire country is not determined by the way of merchants, but by those who practice the way of merchants.
I can tell you clearly that the way of merchants is extremely important. It is extremely important. When developed to a certain extent, in some cases, it is more important than weapons!
If you want to continue on this path, as an elder brother, I will never object and will only support you!"
Liu Shui beside him was a little dumbfounded.
Before, when he told Liu Cheng about his plans, he hesitated because he was worried that his brother would scold him and say that he was not doing his job properly.
After all, in this era, it is true that merchants are looked down upon, their status is low, and they are looked down upon by others, and it is extremely deep-rooted!
However, what he didn't expect was that his brother not only did not blame him for this, but also supported his decision very much, and even told himself that a good businessman can be of great use!
This was very different from what Liu Shui had known before, but it made Liu Shui suddenly become enlightened and his whole person became relaxed.
In this world, what he cares about most is what his brother, his only relative, thinks of him.
As for other people’s opinions, it has nothing to do with you!
His previous experience made him understand that many times, he doesn't even care what others say or think. When he needs to do something, he has to do it.
Because in this world, there are always a group of people who think they are smart, like to point fingers at you, and want to see your jokes.
If you care about what they think, you really can't accomplish anything.
Even if you do nothing, there will still be a large group of people pointing fingers at you and saying all kinds of things...
