Chapter 450 Lu Bu: I’m just a delicate civil servant! [Asking for monthly votes]
“Please give some advice from the Taoist priest!”
Wang Sheng asked Xie Yingdeng to read his fortune. Firstly, he wanted to know whether the Taoist priest was a liar, and secondly, because he was sure in his heart. Somewhat confused.
In his early years, he was a brave general who took the lead in the Western Army. Later, he changed his mind when he discovered that the imperial court and Xixia were not fighting and killing, but his mother's human nature.
First he became naughty, and then he gave gifts everywhere when he was not busy.
Eventually he was transferred from the Western Army and went to Kaifeng, Tokyo, where he was responsible for running errands and doing miscellaneous tasks in the Privy Council.
Of course, he had to spend a lot of money to get this job. Even after entering the Privy Council, he had to spend a lot of money to keep this job.
After spending several years in the Privy Council, he was recommended to serve in the Cai Mansion because of his flexibility.
In the bureaucracy of the Song Dynasty, Chapiao was originally an officer who worked as a handyman in the agency, but later became the lackey of senior executives such as Taiwei and Taishi, responsible for handling some shady matters.
But entering the Cai Mansion does not mean that you can show off your power. You have to stay humble and flatter the housekeeper and other stewards, so that you can have the opportunity to be assigned some lucrative jobs.
For example, this time when I came to Zhending Mansion, there were several jobs competing for it.
In the end, the housekeeper made the final decision and chose Wang Sheng, who seemed to be more honest and obedient.
When this job is completed, Wang Sheng will become a direct descendant of the housekeeper, and the opportunities for him to show up in the future will unconsciously increase.
Now, Xie Yingdeng said "You must have suffered a lot", which instantly broke through Wang Sheng's defenses.
From the Western Army to Tokyo, and then to the Cai Mansion, his journey was more than just hardship, it was simply wallowing in a swamp of blood and tears.
Fortunately, the light of day has emerged. As long as this errand is completed and the housekeeper is followed from now on, not to mention the scenery, at least he will have enough food and clothing, and his family can live a comfortable life.
Wang Sheng took the tea cup on the table and drank it in one gulp. He took out a twenty-tael silver ingot from his arms and gave it to Xie Yingdeng with both hands:
"Xiao Ke is blind, please give it to the Taoist priest. A cup of tea.”
Ruan Xiaowu, who was pulling soup cakes, almost chewed the chopsticks together.
Damn it, what’s going on?
Didn’t I just say free photoshoots? Why did you take the initiative to give money?
Does Mr. Xie possess some magic that makes people willing to pay money?
Isn’t this amazing?
A whole twenty taels of silver, which an ordinary person can't spend in a year, but he just invited Taoist Master Xie to have a cup of tea. How expensive is this tea?
Although Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoer didn't say anything, their eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, which almost hit the public screen.
Zhu Wu, who was sitting at another table eating, was very calm. He knew that Xie Yingdeng was capable, otherwise he would not have dragged this guy into this undercover operation.
Judging from Wang Sheng's reaction, Zhu Wu even thought that he could try to win over him.
It will take at least ten days to go to Zhending Mansion. During this period, you should observe more. If Wang Sheng is a good character, let the emperor see him in person.
With the power of the big man's succubus, Wang Sheng will kneel down and kowtow to express his surrender as long as he chats for half an hour.
In the original work, Cao Cao personally tested Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao almost pushed Liu Bei outside the camp twice and beheaded him. Liu Biao was still uneasy, testing left and right.
But Liu Bei, with his sharp tongue and unimaginable charm, managed to deal with all these things without any danger.
Xie Yingdeng accepted the silver ingot and said to Wang Sheng:
"Although Boss Wang's future life will have twists and turns, it will generally be upward. There will be one or two forks in fate. If you can grasp it, If you stay here, you will be able to soar into the sky and achieve great things."
What he said were basically clichés about fortune telling, but to Wang Sheng's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Go big?
Doesn't this mean that I can lead troops to fight again?
No, it should be possible to lead troops to win the battle?
While in the Western Army, although Wang Sheng could also fight, he was extremely useless. He fought during the day and helped the gentlemen in the capital to transport various soldiers and weapons to Xixia at night.
What is even more ironic is that the quality of those soldiers and weapons far exceeds that of the Western Army.
Even the arrows are better than those used by the Western Army, and there are many of them.
Faced with this kind of battle, the middle and lower-level officers of the Western Army became more and more angry. In the end, they either joined in the conspiracy and became part of the transportation of soldiers and weapons, or were squeezed out, or simply forced to "martyr their country."
The gentlemen do not care whether the national border is advancing or retreating, or the life and death of the soldiers on the front line. They only care about how much money can be profited from the transaction.
Wang Sheng was filled with emotion. Just when he was about to ask for details, Xie Yingdeng picked up the tea cup and took a sip:
"That's all I can tell you. If I say any more, I'll reveal the secret." Well, Boss Wang is such a talented person. If he spreads his wings and flies high in the future, just don’t forget about my low life.”
Ruan Xiaoer:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Taoist Priest, can you listen to what you are saying? I earned fifty taels of silver the day before yesterday, fifty taels of gold yesterday, and while eating today, I earned another twenty taels for tea...
This requires If we are considered destitute, then who are we?
A cow and a horse wallowing in a mud nest?
Xie Yingdeng Yunshan’s words made Wang Sheng more respectful:
“Thank you so much for the Taoist priest’s guidance. I will go to Zhending Mansion and Wang Sheng will bear all the expenses on the road. ”
After saying that, he waved to the waiter:
“Another ten kilograms of good meat to give these strong men a feast!”
Just now I was disgusted that Chao Gai and others ate too much. , but now that he was in a good mood, he actually took the initiative to add meat, allowing Chao Gai to see the charm of a monk again.
After eating and drinking, everyone took a short rest and hit the road again.
After all, Chao Gai was born into a wealthy family, and he was very arrogant. He felt a little bit sorry for giving Wang Sheng a meal, so he specially washed some fruits and gave them to Wang Sheng.
It's the middle of winter now. After walking for a while, my mouth felt dry. So I got a cold pear and ate it. Not to mention, it felt really good in my throat.
After leaving Daming Mansion, they headed northwest, first passing through Mingzhou, then entering Xingzhou, branching off to the official road from Zhending to Cizhou, and then heading north all the way to Zhending Mansion.
In Qilin Village, Yue Fei planned to go to Xingzhou to deliver things to Ma Lin. When he heard that Shan Xiongxin was going to open a store in Daming Mansion, he handed over the task of delivering things to Ma Ling.
The materials prepared by Li Yu included two large suitcases. Ma Ling thought it was too heavy at first, but when he opened the suitcase and took a look, he immediately carried one in one hand, put the armor on his legs, stepped on the Hot Wheels, and was busy Pengju went to send it off, and for fear of hesitation, Pengju handed over the errand to others.
After he left, Yue Fei also rode a white horse straight to Daming Mansion, counted the tables, chairs and other items needed for Fengming Garden, and then hurried to the real world with the gold in the cottage.
"Sir, these are the gold sent by Brother Shan. It weighs about two hundred kilograms."
Whether in the world of Sui and Tang Dynasties or the world of Water Margin, Old Dan's habit of throwing money around has never changed. , others just regard "treating money as dirt" as a slogan, but he has always practiced this.
Now I asked Li Yu to buy some things like dining tables and chairs, and he sent so much gold without saying a word.
Li Yu felt that the gold, let alone buying furniture, could not be spent even if he used concrete to build a ten-story high-rise building in the Water Margin and Yue World.
He said:
"I will buy the furniture as soon as possible. Does Brother Shan have any other requests?"
"Yes, he wants Marquis Wen to help write a door title."
Huh?
With so many calligraphers on our side, why did you think of asking Lu Bu to write?
"Dao Chang Xie helped Brother Shan read the Feng Shui and said that the door facing the road is prone to evil spirits, so a military commander needs to write the door head... Among the military commanders here, the one who has fought the most is Wen Hou, so he wrote Just fine.”
Soon, Lu Bu came to the real world.
When he heard that he was asked to write, the guy immediately started to cry:
"Brother Shan can think of me, which makes me very happy, but I am a delicate civil servant. Do the words written by civil servants also have the effect of warding off evil spirits? "
You can't relate to Jiaowei, right?
Li Yu pointed to the Four Treasures of the Study on the table and said:
"If you don't want to, just change it to another general. Let alone Huang Feihu and Kong Xuan. Chief Yideyun and the others can also write it."
Lü Bu quickly rolled up his sleeves because he was afraid that it would be someone else. , washed his hands carefully, then grabbed a brush and wrote the three words [Fengming Garden] on a piece of white paper in official script.
The handwriting is very beautiful, and it is obvious that a lot of effort has been put into it.
After adding the title and signature, he took out the official seal of his Cavalry General, breathed a sigh of relief, and covered it under the signature.
After finishing writing, the guy started squawking again:
"Oh, I can't bear to give this small calligraphy to Brother Shan...Pengju, tell Brother Shan later that if this calligraphy is destroyed, I will personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack it!"
"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, we will keep a close watch on it and not let this handwriting get any damage."
The business that Mu Guiying wrote to Xiao Qi is booming, and it is now a part of Qilin Village. The first-level protected cultural relics, and now the door header written by Lu Wenhou must be strictly guarded.
After all, he has now become a disciple of Empress Nuwa, so he cannot be neglected.
After Lu Bu finished writing, he took out a chocolate chip from the refrigerator and ate it:
"We have captured Tunliu County in Huguan, and they are hunting for the Black Mountain bandits in the city... Brother Xian, can you get me ten pounds of chili noodles? I'll make some fried noodles for them to try."
Before, they always ate hot and sour noodles made by Cao Xing, and Song Xian occasionally made mutton-shabu-shabu. Now, it’s time for them to try the cooking skills of Lu Bu in Baotou. Li Yu said:
"There is it in the kitchen. I just bought a big bag. You can take it all with you. Also bring two pots of oil. Don't make enough."< br>
When Lu Bu heard this, he rushed to the kitchen excitedly, picked up two pots of soybean oil and a large bag of dried chili noodles, and quickly returned to the world of the Three Kingdoms, where he was busy showing off his cooking skills.
After Tunliu was captured, only Changzi County, the Shangdang Administration Office, was left.
Ah Man, who had vowed to massacre the city, had been besieging the city for only half a year, but failed to capture Changzi County. On the contrary, it inspired the ambitions of the defenders.
As a last resort, Boss Cao had to withdraw his order to massacre the city.
Not long after, the soldiers inside voluntarily surrendered and sold out all the rebel high-ranking officials and others.
Although slaughtering the city boosts morale, it can also stimulate the defender's desire to survive. Once it is announced that the city will no longer be massacred, the soldiers in the city will naturally become distracted.
A few hundred dollars a month, why are you working so hard?
This time to attack Changzi County, Lu Bu planned to wait for Xun You and let him take command.
Xun You is the prefect of Shangdang County. Commanding operations can establish prestige and at the same time exercise his ability to lead an army independently.
As for Lu Bu, he will go to Lu County when the time comes and replenish some supplies for Old Man Huang first. Maybe when he arrives, She County will already have it in his hands, and his troops will reach Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou.
At that time, just get a few super loudspeakers from the real world, and let Song Xian serve as the guard of Shexian County, and he can scold him if anything happens.
Anyway, this guy is a chatterbox, so this position can be considered as a place where people can make the best use of their talents.
In the real world, after Lu Bu left, Li Yu drove Yue Fei to the Furniture World and began to choose suitable dining tables and chairs.
Modern people cannot choose these furniture, because ancient people did not think so of things that modern people think are high-end.
For example, plastic products are synonymous with cheapness in the real world, but the ancient people in the book world thought they were light, easy to use, and full of ostentation.
Things are rare and valuable, and even the cheapest plastic products are treasures in the world of books.
Yue Fei walked around, selected several styles, and took photos of each. He planned to let Shan Xiongxin and his wife pick out the styles when they went back, and order whichever style they thought was good.
After leaving the furniture store, the master and apprentice ordered another batch of glass.
In ancient houses, the windows would be covered with paper every winter, which greatly affected the light. In order to make Fengmingyuan unique, Shan Xiongxin decided to replace the windows in the entire building with glass.
This job may seem difficult. In fact, you only need to remove the window sash, cut the grooves first, then cut the glass according to the size, and then install it.
As long as there are enough manpower and enough diamonds to scratch the glass, it can basically be completed in a few days.
With glass, Fengmingyuan will definitely become the most popular restaurant in Daming Mansion.
Especially when it snows in winter, snowflakes are fluttering outside the window, and the room is as warm as spring. Warm a pot of wine and recite poems to the snow. This feeling can make all the rich people in the city flock to it.
In the evening, Li Shimin came to have a meal. Hearing that Shan Xiongxin wanted to install glass, he couldn't help but asked:
"There are so many powerful people in Daming Mansion, Brother Shan is not afraid Are they thinking about it?"
Mu Guiying took a mouthful of braised sausage rice and said:
"It's not certain who cares about whom. Brother Shan is the godfather of the underworld and the eldest brother of all the bandits. No matter how powerful the person is, no one can compare to Brother Shan in terms of the level of the underworld."
If someone really cares about Fengmingyuan, there is no need for support from Qilin Village. The talent Shan Xiongxin has now is enough to cause a lot of bleeding in Daming Mansion.
The gangster brother finally wants to do some white-gang business. If the big guys in the city want to use tricks, the old boss shouldn't mind letting them experience the real gangster gameplay.
While eating, Yue Fei came back:
“After a show of hands vote by all the leaders in the village, everyone chose the most popular home style.”
Li Yu asked curiously:
"Which one? The imitation mahogany one, or the ebony one?"
Yue Fei shook his head:
"No, they chose black stainless steel and artificial leather chairs and a dining table with the same black fiberglass surface."
The cheapest tables and chairs in the eyes of modern people have actually become high-quality products in the eyes of ancient people. Say it or not, they know how to save money.
"Where's the glass?"
"The most common colorless white glass, other colors will affect the vision, they don't think it is necessary."
Okay, I really met a group of people who know how to save money. Guy.
Li Shimin was quick to notice and quickly stood up and served Yue Fei a small pot of braised sausage rice:
"The sausages sent by the master's wife are very delicious. Brother Fei, eat more."
"Thank you, dear brother!"
Everyone sat down and continued eating. Yue Fei also talked about the information that Xie Yingdeng had detected, and felt that Wang Sheng could use it later.
If you have good character, you can even try to instigate rebellion.
If you can place a second or fifth son next to Cai Jing, it will definitely come in handy.
But we need to observe more. What we want is the second and fifth boys. If we instigate a double agent, it will be great fun.
While everyone was having dinner, the Water Margin talked about the world. Chao Gai and the others ended their journey today and found an inn to stay at.
Xie Yingdeng and Wang Sheng lived in the upper room, Zhu Wu and others lived in ordinary rooms, and Chao Gai and others continued to sleep in Datong.
Fortunately, no one is staying in Datongpu today, so the three brothers no longer have to endure other people’s foot odor and loud snoring.
Wang Sheng did not invite him to dinner tonight, so Chao Gai and the others had no choice but to dig out dry and hard pancakes to satisfy their hunger.
While I was chewing, a few packets of spicy strips and three roast chickens flew out of the window, along with a note written by Gongsun Sheng:
"Thank you for your hard work, Ma Lin will entertain you when you get to Xingzhou."
Ruan Xiaoer grabbed the roast chicken in front of him and started to gnaw:
"It was quite bitter, but... Eating roast chicken will make you feel less miserable immediately.”
Gongsun Sheng did not show up, floated directly to the roof, exchanged information with Xie Yingdeng, and left.
When I left, I didn’t forget to take away the packaging of the spicy strips and the roasted chicken bones, so as not to arouse Wang Sheng’s suspicion.
After Chao Gai had eaten and drank enough, he lay on the bed in Datongbu. He was very curious about what reason Ma Lin would use to approach him and directly pretend to be a fellow villager to invite him to dinner? There is a high probability that it will alert the snake.
And everyone’s accent is different, so it’s easy to hear them.
When fighting and killing, Lao Chao still felt that he was useful, but now Qilin Village did not fight at all, but resorted to dirty tactics, which was not pleasant at all.
It would be nice to wait until we get to Zhending Mansion. At least we can follow Mr. Zhang to have fun on the grassland.
While he was thinking about this, there was a different scene in the private room of Fengming Restaurant in Kaifeng, Tokyo.
Jiuwenlong Shijin, Tiejingzi Lehe, Gushangflea Shiqian and Jinyan Biaoshien, who came from afar, sat together, accompanied by Zhang San and Li Si.
When his family came, Shi En was very happy. He filled up his glass and offered a toast:
“Welcome brothers to come to Tokyo. If you need my help in any way, just ask. I have nothing to say!”
Actually, Shi Jin is the youngest among their group, but this guy has the highest martial arts skills and is the captain of this operation, so Shi En keeps his attitude very low.
Shi Qian smiled and said:
"Brother Da Lang and Le He Xian are here to give gifts and build relationships. Brother, I am ugly and don't know how to be obedient. I am here to do something else this time."
Zhang San asked with a wink. :
"What are you going to do, Brother Shi? Steal the Queen's embroidered shoes?"
"What's the point? I'm going to do something new this time... You guys are messing around in Tokyo It’s been so long, do you know what time the morning meeting is?”
“Yes, it’s usually Chen time, but the ministers have to arrive a little early. In the past two days, several high-ranking officials’ families came to buy sesame cakes. Cake, for breakfast.”
Hearing what Li Si said, Shi Qian became interested:
"Don't the palace provide refreshments?"
"They do, but they all said it's not delicious. We don't add puff pastry in the store. The sesame cakes are delicious...Brother Shi, why are you asking about this?"
"I plan to go to the palace tomorrow morning to add some ingredients to their tea, and by the way, I will visit the place where the envoys from various countries live... …Tokyo has been quiet for too long, it’s time to get lively!”
