As soon as the motorcade entered Xiyang City, a large number of onlookers gathered.
"Could the person in the car be Lu Fan from the east of the city?"
"Didn't Lu Fan go to study the classics? How could he come back so wealthy? Is this kind of scripture so profitable?"
"Vulgar people, haven't you ever heard that it is better to give one scripture than to receive ten thousand gold? What do you know about the study of scriptures?"
"I remember that before he left, he wanted to buy a saltwater duck and bring it to the teacher, but he didn't have the money. Now that there are so many cars, how many ducks do we need to buy?"
"Hey, Lu Fan, is it Lu Fan?" Someone finally couldn't help shouting. "I'm your neighbor's uncle Wang. I remember I hugged you when you were a child!"
"What are you shouting for?" It was unlucky for this person. Han Dang, who was in a bad mood, happened to be passing by on horseback. Hearing this, he held the knife and glared. The man was so frightened that he jumped into the crowd and ran away.
Lu Fan could hear and see all these words and things, but his whole face was red, as if he was drunk. He could only sit in the car and act as if nothing had happened. Who knew how to deal with it?
"Open all the boxes in the car!" Gongsun Xun suddenly waved his hand.
The maid who was following the car quickly obeyed the instructions, and the crowd of people watching suddenly burst into exclamations!
In fact, there are no treasures at all in the box, just the most simple and straightforward copper coins, cloth, pottery, etc.
And such things, such as two or three boxes of fine linen, may not be as valuable as Lu Fan's Shu brocade clothes! However, most of the onlookers were ordinary civilians in the county, and they did not recognize what Shu brocade was.
Huh? Even if you think it looks good, you don’t know how much it’s worth? Instead, it’s the boxes of linen and the copper coins that make you dizzy and shocked!
Now, all the villagers had no doubt that Lu Fan had really come back rich! And more and more people were watching and chasing the convoy!
In this way, the motorcade moved along the avenue extending from the city gate. When it came to an obvious intersection, Lu Fan couldn't help but whisper to the driver in front of him and told him to turn east. His home was in the east of the city.
However, what made Lu Fan panic was that he didn't know whether it was because of the loud noise around him or because the driver was an outsider and couldn't hear him clearly. In short, the car turned around, but it turned towards the west.
of!
I'm afraid something will happen now!
So, Lu Fan sat upright and looked for the opportunity to call Gongsun Xun in a low voice, but Gongsun Xun turned a deaf ear. He called Liu Bei again, and Liu Bei was also minding his own horse riding aside. Then he went to go to Gongsun Yue... but was shocked to find that
Gongsun Yue seems to have not appeared since morning!
Yes!
Lu Fan was so smart that he immediately understood that it was not a mistake, but that Gongsun Xun and others had other arrangements. Gongsun Yue should have entered the city first to make preparations.
But what should we do if we go to the West City?
Just like that, Lu Fan sat in the car, looking left and right and distracted. However, when the car passed another intersection and looked at the courtyard of a large family with an extremely large area in the distance, he suddenly understood
Come here... Then, the whole person became so nervous that he couldn't help himself.
By the way, that family's surname is Liu, and they are one of the largest families in the county. They have two to three hundred servants alone. In Xiyang City, no matter who comes from the county, he always relies on this family when he takes office.
. But for Lu Fan, this family is not only a big family in the county, but more importantly, this family has a beautiful daughter who is about the same age as Lu Fan!
That's right, this kind of bloody drama has been around for five thousand years. Not only has it appeared endlessly in the past, but it will definitely become an indispensable classic drama in the future!
In a small county town, there was a jewel in the eye of a wealthy family and a poor scholar with a bare family. One lived in the west city and the other lived in the east city. One day they met by chance outside the city. They looked at each other across a small river and they will never forget it.
Huai...Anyway, if Aunt Gongsun were here, her teeth would be sore.
However, this is true!
About half a year ago, Lu Fan was really upset because the eldest lady of the Liu family was flirting with her. After thinking about it, he finally couldn't help but ask someone to test her.
However, does the rest of the story need to be told?
Yes, Lu Fan has good looks and is recognized as a talented person in the county... But he is a so-called son of a single family, and he is so poor that he has nothing to live with. You are the father, do you agree to this marriage?
In fact, the male protagonist of the Liu family, Liu Gong, simply told the people who came to test him, Lu Fan is too poor, and my daughter will not marry!
Then, Lu Fan showed his determination to neither destroy nor establish. He simply abandoned his home with nothing and followed Lu Zhi, who happened to be passing by.
And these are not confidential matters, so Gongsun Xun can naturally know if he wants to know.
But Lu Fan is still worried. Even if it is like this today...can it really happen?
The motorcade moved forward and finally arrived at the door of Liu Dahu's house. The servants at the door were dumbfounded to see Lu Fan sitting in a car of that level and wearing that kind of clothes... As servants of a wealthy family, they were no match for those in the county.
The common people know more about the importance, not to mention there are so many villagers following behind.
While I was lost in thought, I saw the motorcade stop immediately, and a young man on a tall horse rode straight over. Then he didn't say anything, he just pouted at the door in a condescending manner.
The servant at the door of Liu's house was in such a hurry that he didn't dare to raise his head to take another look. He nodded hurriedly and reported back quickly. But after a while, an older man with obviously high-end clothes greeted him in surprise.
Come out.
Of course, Lu Fan, Gongsun Xun and others would definitely not take the big shot at this time. It was time to dismount and dismount, and it was time to get off the horse. Both parties finished saluting in front of the door, and Gongsun Xun did not say goodbye.
He didn't even explain his identity. He only said that he was traveling here with Lu Fan, his classmate, and his senior brother. Then he heard that Liu Gong was quite famous in Xiyang City, so he specially asked Lu Fan to be the matchmaker and come to pay him a visit.
Liu Gong, who claimed to be an old man, looked at the villagers gathered in front of the door, looked at Lu Fan's clothes, and then looked at the long motorcade in front of him. Although he knew what was going on, he could only hold back.
The nose politely let these people in. Then he called some of the people who could get on the stage with the newcomers, and also invited the elders of the neighbors, and also called some county officials.
Then they began to prepare wine and food, and held the banquet directly in the courtyard.
However, what puzzled Lu Fan and Liu Gong and made them more and more nervous was that after the banquet started, Gongsun Xun, who was obviously the leader, remained silent throughout the whole process, let alone mentioned the other party's daughter. On the contrary, she was still young.
Liu Bei was making jokes there, talking all over the place, from Youzhou to Yuzhou, from Zhuojun to Luoyang, forcing Liu Gong to have to work hard to deal with it.
After suffering like this for a while, and having drank two rounds of wine, suddenly, the servant at the door hurried over again, saying that the Lord of the County was here in person!
Liu Gong and Lu Fan became more and more frightened and confused, but they didn't have time to think too much. Everyone avoided the banquet to greet the Lord of Xiyang County... As expected, the Lord of Xiyang County came with Gongsun Yue, and he laughed and asked where he was as soon as he arrived.
Is this the student of Liu Wenrao, an elder in the country? In the end, he simply took Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Yue's hands and entered the banquet.
Sitting down again, Lu Fan let out a long breath, while Liu Gong gasped... The two of them still didn't understand that a very important matchmaker had arrived.
"County Lord!" After they sat down and exchanged names with each other, Gongsun Xun became much more straightforward. He bowed directly to the Qianshi County Magistrate who was sitting on the main seat and saluted. "As the saying goes, it's better to choose the day than to hit it. The County Lord comes very quickly.
By chance, there happens to be such a beautiful thing during this dinner today, waiting for you to become an adult!"
"If you have something good to say, you might as well tell it." The county prince didn't think much about it. In his opinion, as long as the matter is not serious, for the sake of the name of the emperor Guang Luxun and Liu Kuan, he is
It can be 'adult beauty'.
"County Lord, please look." Gongsun Xun spread his palms and waved his hand towards Lu Fan across the way. "This Lu Fan is my senior brother. He is only twenty years old and he is a good son of this county."
How could Lu Fan not know that success or failure depends on this? So he quickly avoided the table and bowed again.
The county prince also stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "What a fine scholar!"
Could it be that he was not good? Lu Fan was always handsome, but now, with his silk clothes and beaded crown, he was still some vague 'senior brother'. It was strange that he was not good!
"Look again, Lord of the County." Gongsun Xun pointed his finger at Mr. Liu who was sitting between him and the Lord of the County this time. "Gong Liu of this county has a prosperous family background and has always been the pillar of the county... There happened to be a daughter who gave birth to
She is as beautiful as a flower, well-known in the virtuous countryside, and is expected to be in the boudoir!"
The county prince immediately laughed: "This is indeed a beautiful thing! Mr. Liu, how about I act as a matchmaker today? Looking at Lu Fan's appearance and bearing, is he a good match for your beloved daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu turned pale and pale, and even avoided the table to salute, and then replied: "To be honest with you, the county magistrate, I love my daughter very much and don't want her to get married too early."
There was a moment of silence at the table, and it was obvious that this was a rejection in public. Even if Lu Fan came in a beautiful carriage, even if he was praised by the stars, and even if the county prince acted as a matchmaker, Liu Gong still refused.
It is indeed unexpected, but it is not necessarily unreasonable.
These days, as the center of the Han Dynasty indulges in all kinds of internal fighting, relatives, eunuchs, and party members come and go, and even after finally taking a break, the scholars are still engaged in internal struggles over Confucian classics, and
The powerful forces below are becoming more and more uncontrollable. Nowadays, there is even a proverb among the people, "It is better to lose two thousand stones than to lose the powerful people". This is obviously evident from some things.
What do you mean? It means that Mr. Liu doesn’t give face to the county king, but the county king may not fall out with him because of this matter, because the other party’s cooperation is needed to govern the county!
And besides, no matter how hard outsiders try their best on things like marriage, they can only beat the drum and go to the sky. It is a family affair of two families, so Liu Dahu's words of "love his daughter eagerly" cannot be ignored by anyone.
refute.
"Liu Gong." Before the county prince could change his expression, Liu Bei was the first to lose his patience. "We also asked about it when we came here. Isn't it because you disliked me, Senior Brother Lu, because his family was poor? But now You also saw the car, goods, and servants in front of the door. Is he still poor now?"
"Don't I know what kind of details Lu Fan is?" Liu Gong sneered. "He is from a single family and has no real business. These belongings are just gifts from Gongsun Shaojun."
"Isn't the gift a gift?" Liu Bei argued with all his strength. "Do you know that the car is also one of the best treasures among scholars in Luoyang, and the clothes are all made of Shu brocade..."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you, a young man." Liu Gong cupped his hands and said to the villagers. "Everyone, let me speak frankly! I only had this daughter after I was thirty years old, and now she is already old. I am afraid I won't be able to take care of her for a few more years. , I will not rest in peace if I cannot entrust this to a good family. So, even if you say that I despise poverty and love wealth, I will admit it!"
What he said was sincere, and everyone in the county almost instinctively wanted to agree. However, at this moment, Gongsun Xun's Huo Ran stood up holding his saber, and there was a huge movement, which shocked these people and said nothing. The words that came out were swallowed back.
Of course, Gongsun Xun was not such a jerk that he put a knife to someone's neck in front of the county king. He just wanted to gain the initiative in the situation.
"Liu Gong." Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Gongsun Xun let go of the hand holding the knife, walked into the open space in the field, and held the opponent's arm with a smile. "You are Elder, the meaning of these words should be rather profound, but I probably understand a little bit... When you talk about poverty, I'm afraid you don't just mean wealth, right?"
Mr. Liu first glanced at the knife on the opponent's waist, and then at the image of a decent person in the county, and then he nodded seriously: "It is true that a short time of wealth cannot solve a lifetime of poverty!"
As soon as this statement came out, not to mention that the villagers recognized it even more, even the face of the county prince who had been disgraced also changed a lot.
You know, although Liu Gong's words were cryptic, most of the people present were smart people, so everyone immediately understood another meaning from his words - it was not just the Lu Fan family that the Liu family disliked, but also the Lu Fan family. Most of them dislike him for his humble background and his lack of status that matches the Liu family's daughter.
You must know that these days, origin and status are things that include moral factors, talent factors, and even all aspects. Specifically, if you have a good background and a high status, you can be considered to have a high moral level and be considered If you have outstanding abilities, you can occupy important positions and do important things.
On the contrary... what does it mean to have a low status? What's wrong with a father wanting to marry his daughter to someone with a better background?
As a result, the expressions of everyone in the audience changed for a while, and most people tended to agree with the changes, such as the county prince, who now nodded slightly after thinking about it for a while; not without anger, such as Liu Bei and Han Of course, the latter had always been angry because Gongsun Xun personally helped Lu Fan put on his shoes, but now he couldn't help but feel the same anger as the enemy; of course, there were also those who remained calm...
Hearing this, Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly: "Liu Gong, let me ask you, you said that I gave it to Brother Zi Heng... Oh, Brother Zi Heng was crowned a few days ago by another teacher of mine, the famous scholar Lu Baozhi Gong.
, now I am called Lu Ziheng... Liu Gong, you said that the wealth I gave to Brother Ziheng was temporary wealth, so let me ask you, why did I give him this temporary wealth?"
Liu Gong, like the county prince, heard that Lu Fan had been crowned by Lu Zhi, and his expression changed vividly. When he was asked by Gongsun Xun, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Liu Gong, what do I want to ask you?" Gongsun Xun urged in a higher tone.
"How do I know the reason?" Liu Gong came to his senses, but shook his head. "Don't you know this kind of thing, Gongsun Shaojun himself?"
"Of course I know it." Gongsun Xun said with a smile. "But Liu Gong, you should also know it."
At this point, Gongsun Xun did not wait for Liu Gong to speak, and directly pulled him to the open space between the banquet tables, and then spoke loudly to the villagers present: "Everyone, you are all the villagers of Brother Ziheng.
, you should know that Brother Heng left home that day to find a famous master to study the Confucian classics. But did you know that when he heard that Master Lu was passing by Runan, he traveled day and night to catch up with Master Lu and study the Confucian classics, and even his shoes were worn out?
What do you think this is called? Isn’t it called being studious?"
From the county king down, everyone nodded.
"After following Master Lu," Gongsun Xun dragged Mr. Liu to a murder case dressed as an official and continued. "Master Lu had to fight the rebellion in Jiujiang. He was very busy with military and political affairs, so he was always the son of a prince.
Brother Heng handled the paperwork for me. Master Lu said it himself, Brother Zi Heng handled the paperwork very beautifully and the articles were very lucid. Everyone, what do you call this? Isn’t this called genius?"
Before the official, who was looking at him and felt guilty, could nod his head, Liu Bei over there had already understood the opportunity and started to act as a 'caller'.
"Later, our Master Lu got sick while he was the governor of Jiujiang and abandoned his official position." Gongsun Xun turned to an older man again this time. "While walking on the road, I heard that the imperial court was going to build a stone scripture.
He forced the sick body to be transferred to Luoyang. During this period, Brother Ziheng was always by his side, taking care of his daily life personally without any complaints. What do you think this is called, the elders? Isn't it called respecting the master?"
The old man nodded repeatedly and praised: "Your honor is a great virtue!"
"Also," Gongsun Xun turned to the front seat of the county king again. "After Brother Zi Heng arrived in Luoyang, most of his classmates were children of aristocratic families like me. We people usually do things frivolously and behave extravagantly, but Zi Heng
Brother Heng wore patched clothes and ripped boots to interact with us, but he never showed any jealous or envious expression..."
The county gentleman stroked his beard and nodded thoughtfully.
"And Liu Gong." Gongsun Xun suddenly grabbed the person in his hand and turned around to point at Lu Fan who was sitting there, and raised his voice to the extreme. "You can see for yourself now! Ever since you stood up and refused the county king's matchmaking.
, Brother Ziheng, except for his somewhat sad expression at the beginning, has always been sitting upright. Whether you mocked him for being "poor in this life" or I praised him for his virtue, his expression did not waver at all... This kind of magnanimity, coupled with his
With his appearance, talent, knowledge, and virtue, do you think this kind of person will be poor for the rest of his life?!"
Liu Gong was so fascinated that he couldn't even open his mouth.
"Mr. Liu." Gongsun Xun urged helplessly. "The Master said: 'A gentleman is always poor', which means that a gentleman lives in poverty and abides by the Tao. He may be a man of Taoism, but will he really be poor for the rest of his life? Do you really think that the man in front of you is poor?
Will Lu Ziheng be able to 'consolidate poverty for the rest of his life'?"
Lu Fan had no expression on his face and pursed his lips, but the county prince, Liu Bei, Gongsun Yue, Han Dang, and even all the villagers were thoughtful.
However, although Mr. Liu's expression changed, he still refused to speak.
"And the guy in the house!" In desperation, Gongsun Xun simply let go of Mr. Liu, then turned around and shouted loudly toward a room behind the county king. "I know it's Mr. Liu.
My beloved daughter is eavesdropping there. Since your father is unwilling to answer, I will take the liberty of asking you today on behalf of Brother Ziheng. Does the Liu family’s daughter-in-law also think that Lu Ziheng, who is sitting here, will be poor for the rest of his life?"
Lu Fan's expression finally changed, and he looked at the house in panic. The courtyard became silent again, and even the county prince turned around in shock.
"How could Lu Lang, who is so talented and virtuous, have been poor all his life?" A clear female voice sounded from the house over there without thinking. "Father, it is not only Gongsun Shaojun who wants to ask you, I also want to ask you, Lu Lang
Although we are extremely poor today, will we continue to be poor in the future?"
Following the client's sincere questioning, everyone in the courtyard was speechless... It is true that Lu Fan is indeed of a low status today, but will a person like him continue to be low?
Gongsun Xun also looked at the room with a little shock. Considering that the person in the room dared to flirt with the poor boy Lu Fan, and even dared to pretend to be a food delivery maid and come here blatantly to eavesdrop, Gongsun Xun had to admit it.
...Lu Fan is afraid that he really has great luck!
Looking back, after these words were spoken, everyone was speechless, but they all turned their attention to Liu Gong.
But Mr. Liu's expression kept changing, but he finally let out a long sigh, then bent down and bowed to the county prince and Gongsun Xun respectively: "If it weren't for the county prince and Gongsun Shaojun, I would have almost lost a son-in-law who is riding a dragon today."
Got it!"
The county prince clasped his hands and laughed, then raised his glass and said, "I knew something good would happen today! Come on, everyone, get up and have a drink, to congratulate Mr. Liu on getting a son-in-law who is 'solid and poor'!"
Everyone stood up suddenly.
Just like that, the banquet was held again, and Lu Fan finally stopped being reserved this time. After the banquet dispersed in the afternoon, he came back drunk. In the end, Gongsun Yue and Liu Bei helped him into a place opposite the Liu Mansion.
In the Kuanchuo Residence - Needless to say, this was Gongsun Xunbei's work again.
Lu Fan's brother and sister-in-law were waiting in the courtyard. When they saw Lu Fan come back, they stepped forward to congratulate him, regardless of whether he was still sane or not. But Lu Fan just smiled drunkenly and said a few words about himself.
He also asked for study, asked his brother and sister-in-law to put away the belongings and servants in the car, and take care of the house, etc., which made the brother and sister-in-law smile happily... Then, he suddenly shouted that he wanted to see Gongsun Xun again.
Everyone just thought it was a drunken talk and ignored him. They just put him on the couch in the room and went out. However, after a while, Gongsun Xun actually opened the door and came in.
"I knew Brother Ziheng was not drunk!" Gongsun Xun looked at Lu Fan who was sitting on the edge of the bed and said with a smile.
"I'm really drunk." Lu Fan also laughed. "And I'm drunk both physically and mentally... But if I can't talk to you face to face today, Gongsun Shaojun, I won't dare to lie down at all! Shaojun can close the door.
?"
Gongsun Xun immediately laughed, then turned back and closed the door.
"I'm so drunk that I can't move." Lu Fan waved his hand. "Young Master, please come and sit down."
Gongsun Xun did as he was told and came over to sit on the same bed with him.
"Gongsun Shaojun, Gongsun Shaojun..." Lu Fan held Gongsun Xun's hand with his tongue out loud. "You have prepared so many things for me today... cars, houses, wealth and goods.
Are you trying to buy me with these things?"
Gongsun Xun laughed again when he heard this: "What do you think, Brother Ziheng?"
"I thought these belongings were not worth mentioning." Lu Fan held the other person's hand, but suddenly changed his face and sneered. "You said it yourself today, will Lu Ziheng be poor for the rest of his life? Don't you give me these belongings?
, won’t I be able to make money in the future?”
Gongsun Xun's face twitched and he was speechless for a moment.
"There is also the matter of the silk shoes." Lu Fan lowered his head and pointed at his feet with a slight mockery. "My pair of broken shoes have been worn in front of you for more than half a month since we met at the charity house. And you have worn them for more than half a month.
Gongsun Shaojun is not only attentive enough to find out what happened between me and the Liu family, but also attentive enough to find traces of my fiancée eavesdropping. How could he not know that I have been wearing a pair of worn shoes? But not only did you not tell me, but you also
When I was crowned, I was given only clothes and no shoes... Aren't these many actions a deliberate preparation for today's "taking off my shoes"? Gongsun Shaojun, you are still too young and always think of others.
So stupid!"
Gongsun Xun was extremely embarrassed and could only force a smile and said: "It seems that I underestimated Brother Zi Heng. The price I paid is too low!"
Lu Fan laughed loudly when he heard this, and after he finished laughing, he nodded: "It's really low. Let me put it bluntly, this wealth and the scene of taking off the clothes are not enough to buy me."
Poor Lu Lang!"
Gongsun Xun became more and more embarrassed... After all, he was a young man who had not been crowned. Even if his normal temperament could keep him from blushing, he actually wanted to run away quickly, but his hands were kept being grabbed by the other party.
I had no choice but to continue sitting.
However, just when the situation became extremely embarrassing, Lu Fan suddenly let go of his hand, and then forcibly stood up on the bed... Then, he first raised his hands and forehead like a salute, and bent down with all his strength - this
It's called bowing; then straighten up, put your knees on the ground at the same time, slowly bow down, put your palms on the ground, and put your forehead on your palms - this is called bowing; then straighten your upper body, and at the same time bring your hands to the level of your eyebrows - this is called Xing!
Such a set of actions is the most formal and solemn formal salute among the Han rites. It is a formal etiquette action in extremely solemn occasions.
So, this reversal... Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the couch, was stunned, shocked and confused. He didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
"Young Master!" After struggling to perform this set of salutes, Lu Fan, who was obviously drunk, did not wait for the other party's reply, and sat back on the edge of the bed. It was the afternoon, and the sun shone in through the window paper.
After getting up, Lu Fan's eyes were suddenly red. "Those goods and these silk shoes are indeed not enough to buy me. But if you add to this the fact that today in my father-in-law's courtyard, Shaojun stood up for me in front of everyone in our county."
The two sentences he asked... were enough to buy Lu Ziheng today! It is said that a scholar will die for his confidant, and Shaojun knows me so well. The only thing I, Lu Fan, can do is to recognize Shaojun as my master and drive me around.
Got it!"
Not to mention the ups and downs, when he heard the last words, Gongsun Xun was even more stunned and speechless!
You know, he just felt that this person was accompanying Lu Zhi and was both smart and knowledgeable, so he wanted to take this person as his own. In this way, he could live more comfortably in front of Lu Zhi, who put great pressure on him...
...I really haven’t thought of anything to make the other party recognize his master! You must know that Han Dang was a person who had experienced life and death with him before, a fellow villager, and a martial artist with a low social status. In this way, he was just following him.
I just became a guest in a half-master and half-slave relationship.
And although this Lu Fan was also a son of the Han family, he was still a named disciple of Lu Zhi and had the status of a scholar. Why should he directly perform formal etiquette and recognize himself as an uncrowned scholar as his master?
"Young Master, you don't have to worry," Lu Fan said calmly, holding on to the bed. "I, Lu Fan, recognize my master today not because I want to debase myself, but on the contrary, because I want to make myself rich! To be honest, Young Master, I have taken a fancy to you.
The future... Although at this time, Shaojun, you are not yet talented and your means are lacking, but you are from a good background, your family is wealthy, you have connections like Liu Kuan and Master Lu, and more importantly, you can know people and learn from others... Shaojun,
Can you see that I, Lu Fan, a Shan family with only a meager family, will not be "poor"? Can't I see that you will become a prosperous person? My father-in-law thought about it carefully and knew that he had to look back. How could I even think about his future?
Don’t you have the vision and courage? What I, Lu Ziheng, want is to be attached to your tail, and use this as a means to no longer be ‘poor’!”
Gongsun Xun's expression changed slightly, and he spoke after a long time: "In that case, Master Lu must not know about this matter."
"It's natural." Lu Fan said with a smile. "Teacher, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen to my family. Otherwise, how could I close the door and secretly salute here? When I leave the house tomorrow and return to Fengshi Mountain, you and I will still be the same.
Senior brother, please continue to call me Brother Ziheng, and I will still call you Brother Xun... But when you succeed in your studies, whether you return to Liaoxi or go somewhere else, I, Lu Fan, will follow you to the end!"
Gongsun Xun finally nodded slowly: "Good!"
"Lü Fan, courtesy name Ziheng, was from Xiyang, Runan. He was handsome and handsome, and was a classmate of Yu Lu Zhi, Taizu of Yan. He was from the Liu family in the city, and his family was rich and beautiful. Fan Qiuzhi. His father-in-law disliked her, so he wanted to stay with her.
Taizu was standing by his side, so he asked everyone: "A gentleman is poor, but Liu Gongguan, brother Heng, has been poor all his life?" The father of the daughter could not answer. His daughter Liu stood behind the wall and asked again: "Lü Lang
"Lü Lang is indeed poor, but has he been poor for a long time?" The father-in-law was so embarrassed that he sighed and agreed to get married. Later in the county, it was sung: "Lü Lang is indeed poor, but has Lü Lang been poor?" It became a beautiful story."——
