Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 116 Prelude

"But it doesn't matter."

Lu Bu sat on his seat and watched the two nodded. He didn't refuse, but he was also curious about what the two of them could come up with.

Liu Min took a deep breath: "How the two of us fell into the grass, I told all the heroes at the banquet yesterday, but I, Liu Min, can recognize myself. This cottage will not be able to develop into a big village with me and Brother Kou Yan. Since this is the case, why don't you find a capable cottage to join as soon as possible, so that you can kill a few corrupt officials as soon as possible, and let out the bad breath in your heart, so the two younger brothers are willing to join the stronghold and have no second thoughts."

Lu Bu took a look at Li Ji. Although the big black man was not right, he was not far behind. The two of them really expressed their intention to take refuge in him, but...

"A certain person and you just met for the first time, how do you feel that following a certain person will make things happen?"

Liu Min smiled and said, "Brother Xian's deeds have been heard a lot recently, so I made a special inquiry. I was able to enter the Song Kingdom when the Liao Kingdom was besieged by the army. This martial arts boy is very admired. That's it. , [-]% of the people in the green forest can’t do it.”

Looking at Lu Bu who was staring at him with both eyes, he continued: "After that, you killed the giant bandits in the green forest in Hebei, and defeated the official army in the east of the Jing. Prison is famous in the Central Plains, and now there should be many people who have invested in your cottage either in Jingdong or in the west of Beijing, is your brother right?"

Lu Bu nodded: "That's right, there are quite a few people going up the mountain."

Liu Min laughed: "That's why I'm willing to take a gamble, betting that Brother Xian will win until one day everything is ready."

Lu Bu looked at Liu Min's crazy eyes, and narrowed his eyes: "What if someone loses?"

Liu Min smiled strangely: "Although my younger brother is not talented, he is also quick-witted. With my younger brother's wisdom and my virtuous brother's bravery, this matter will definitely not happen."

Kou Yan also whispered at the side: "Pindao is also willing to help my brother with all his might, and I hope that my brother will take me in."

Lu Bu stared at the two of them without speaking for a while, and after a while, he slapped the table: "Hahahaha, good!"

Standing up, he said: "If the soldiers of Song Ting are all like Jingdong and Ruzhou, even though I am not talented, I am confident that I will not lose to these people. I have accepted the request of the two virtuous brothers, and please return with me. Liangshan meet."

Liu Min and Kou Yan were overjoyed, and quickly bowed to him: "My younger brother has met my elder brother. Brother Meng will not abandon poverty and humbleness. He is willing to hold the whip and fall into the stirrups. He will not hesitate to die."

The rest of the people also looked at each other, the people from Liangshan were smiling happily, Wei Zhaode and the other four breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other with joy on their faces. The two people merged into Liangshan, and the matter of the ship was sure. Finally, there is no need to ride a horse anymore.

At that moment Lu Bula got up the two of them and introduced everyone to the two of them one by one. The two quickly met again and were all happy.

Seeing that their greetings were over, Wei Zhaode said, "Brother Lu, can you arrange a boat to take me to Xiangyang?"

Lu Bu nodded: "I'm waiting, but I have to leave."

Look at Liu Min: "Brothers have to work hard to prepare the boat, and I will also go to Xiangyang."

The strong man nicknamed Liu Zhibo smiled and said: "It's easy, the boat is at the bottom of the mountain, please come with me."

Then he turned around and walked out. Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly followed. After a while, they arrived at the river below the mountain, but seeing five small boats parked in a bay, Ruan Xiaoqi reckoned that each boat could be boarded ten people.

"It's just enough to take away all the people, but it's not enough to take all the horses. If you spread them out, you can take five horses away." Liu Min looked back at the crowd and said.

"It's okay, I don't need to bring a horse." Wei Zhaode and other men on the sea smiled happily. The horse is not necessary for them, as long as they can get to the place quickly.

"Since you said that the horses of brothers X and Xun are to be brought, it is best to bring the horses of Brother Wei, because we have a large number of people waiting for us, so we have the audacity to take them too." Lu Bu saw Wei Zhaode's expression. Cleared his mind, after a little thought, he made a decision.

The red rabbit is the flesh on the tip of his heart, and since he brought it with him, he is reluctant to leave.And although Yan Ji is good at fighting on foot, it is not as good as his extravagance on horseback. It is better to bring a horse. Wei Zhaode had a good chat along the way, so it is fine to bring him one horse, but the remaining two need to be It is used to carry weapons and other sundries, but it cannot be saved.

At present, everyone's calculations have been settled, but Zhaode sees that Liu Ti is really inconvenient to move, so he keeps him in this Yushan village, and after he recovers from his injury, he will go south to Xiangyang to find him.Liu Min patted his chest and swore that he would take good care of him, while the rest of them put on their weapons and led their horses, followed by Liu Min, boarded the boat and went down the river.

Kou Yan and Liu Ti watched him go away, so they turned back to the cottage without mentioning it.

……

But it is said that Xiangzhou is located on the Southwest Road of Dasongjing, adjacent to Fangzhou on the left, Suizhou on the right, and next to Jinghu North Road below, with a photochemical army on it.

In the city of Xiangyang, sheltered by the convenience of river transportation, this famous city also looks very prosperous. People walking up and down the spacious streets are dressed in decent clothes, carrying newly bought goods in their hands, and they stop when they meet familiar people. Talking and laughing on the side, and then made an appointment to drink tea and listen to music together, and went to the elegantly decorated teahouse on the side.

There was a coolie pushing a cart, carrying the goods just unloaded from the ship into the restaurant, and then took some money from the thousands of thanks and pushed the empty cart out, and hurried to the pier again, anxious to transport the goods for the next family. goods.

The streets were peaceful and peaceful, and the Zhizhou Zhu Nan Mansion also had a peaceful atmosphere.

In the antique study room, about 30 years old, wearing a blue robe, handsome, with a beautiful beard, Zhizhou Zhu Nanzheng looked solemn, swishing the paper, and the wind was blowing under his wrist, licking ink with a pen from time to time, brushing a little bit A painting has been completed.

"How?" Zhu Nan shook the painting in his hands for the people on the side to watch.

"Wonderful!" The refined-looking Tong Pan clapped his hands, "This picture of fishing in coir raincoats made by your lord is simply the best portrayal of the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Zhihe's "Fisher Song" and expresses the leisurely feeling of fishing in spring. Incisively and vividly, Miaoshou Danqing, Miaoshou Danqing wow!"

"That's right, what Liao Tongpan said is extremely true. It's the first time that an official has seen such a marvelous Danqing painting. The brush strokes are so exquisite that they are so lifelike. If the officials see it, they will definitely make you a confidant." Not to be outdone, the official hastily praised him.

"Hahahaha, it's over, how can my petty skills compare with the officials'?" Zhu Nan shook his hands, his face was full of complacency, and his eyes were already smiling with only a gap left.

"Officials are excellent in both calligraphy and painting, so there is no need to praise it. As long as you are good at drawing, the officials will also praise you." Liao Tong gave the person who had spoken just now a rough look, and cursed the sycophant in his heart, but his face was full of sincerity. He kept praising him, but his ability to think one thing and say another was also unique.

The three of them were talking in the room when an official knocked on the door outside: "Mr. Biao, Miss Biao is here."

"Oh?"

A strange color flashed in Zhu Nan's eyes, and he said loudly, "Please wait in the back house, and serve some good pastries."

"Yes."

The official returned and left the door, presumably to go to the backyard to set up.

"If there are visitors at your lord's house, then the two of us will leave first."

Liao Tongpan and the pusher looked at each other with some inexplicable meaning in their eyes, and quickly saluted Zhu Nan to say goodbye.

"Well, I didn't greet well. I thought that the three of you and I would enjoy painting appreciation in the afternoon and imitate the sages, but I didn't want my worry-free sister to come. I didn't say hello in advance. It's really rude." Glancing at the two of them, he sighed and put the painting back on the table.

"What do adults say, the family is the most important thing, the family is the most important thing."

The two cupped their hands repeatedly, signaling that they didn't care anymore, Zhu Nan didn't say much, just opened the door, and called a servant to lead the two out of the house, while he watched him go away, and then closed the door of the study , Shi Shiran walked towards the backyard.

His mansion is not too small, there are many exotic flowers and plants planted in the backyard, and it is the flowering season at this time, so it is very beautiful.

But Zhu Nan didn't bother to look at these flowers, walked along the road to the backyard, saw two maids standing outside the door, stopped slightly, then stepped forward and waved: "You don't need to serve here. , go down."

"Yes, sir."

The two maids saluted, then quickly walked away with their heads down.

Zhu Nan watched the two of them leave from the backyard, then opened the door and walked in.

"Good guy~ You are here~"

The charming voice came from Zhu Nan's side, and then a pair of bare hands hugged him, smelling the faint orchid fragrance from the person behind him, Zhu Nan swallowed: "Aren't you afraid that someone outside will see you?"

This woman is exactly the Miss Cousin that the housekeeper said. Because she is married, she is called Mrs. Du, but seeing that she is only 22 or [-] years old, she is very dignified in her decent clothes, and her black hair is in the shape of a phoenix. The golden step shaker is embellished with six pearls and jade, and the tail of the phoenix is ​​also made of gold, and each feather tail is engraved with different patterns.

This woman's eyes are covered with mist, her charm is rippling, her face is thinly covered with powder, she has a pretty face that is suitable for anger and joy, the corners of her small mouth are slightly raised, and her red lips are slightly parted, which makes people think of her at the first sight. Come forward to kiss Fangze.

At this time, he scratched Zhu Nan's side face with his finger painted with red Danko, and said in a delicate voice: "Didn't you tell them to retreat? Otherwise, how dare I do this?"

"You goblin!"

Zhu Nan's heart ached from being teased, she turned around and bent her legs, picked up the woman from the ground, and walked quickly to the bed: "Today, the official will beat the goblin with a stick."

"Ahahahaha—come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

The charming smile of the silver bell aroused Zhu Nan's fighting spirit even more, and the two rolled and fought each other immediately, dancing with clothes flying, throwing skirts and clothes, it was really:

The sun is still good when I come, and I lie prone until dusk for love.

Lang's heart is like iron and he still wants to fight, so he takes a rest halfway and eats urgently.

When the lights-out night battle begins, the goblin overwhelms the man.

The powdered face is covered with danxiang and sweat flows, and the white face is mistakenly stained with rouge oil.

If the gentleman is in poor health, I will appear on the stage after you fight.

This night, the woman slept in Zhizhou's backyard, as usual.

The next morning, Zhu Nan climbed up from the bed with his hands on his waist. The moment he landed, his knees softened and his eyes turned dark. He stood there for a long time before recovering.

"How did you get born?"

The delicate voice came from behind, with a hint of temptation in the laziness, Zhu Nan was "excited" for a while, and almost turned around and rushed over again. After all, he was overworked yesterday, and now besides being unable to fight, he can still feel a burning pain. Daoguo was too crazy yesterday.

Enduring the feeling of soreness, Zhu Nan straightened her waist: "I still have business to do today, so you can rest here, but I won't be back until evening."

"Why is the official business so important? You can't even stay for a while longer? My family still wants to get closer to you for a while." Madam Du propped up her upper body, and the beautiful quilt slipped off her delicate body, revealing a touch of whiteness.

The corners of Zhu Nan's eyes twitched, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Your husband needs food and grass to suppress the bandits ahead. If the food and grass are delivered late, he will come back."

Upon hearing that, Mrs. Du hurriedly said: "Then you go quickly, the servant's house is waiting for you to come back."

Zhu Nan nodded, forced himself to put on his clothes, went to the front hall to have dinner, then changed into official clothes, and went to the government office without mentioning it.

Let's say that Mrs. Du lay down again after Zhu Nan left, and fell asleep in a short while. She slept until three poles in the sun before waking up. She tidied herself up, opened the window to let in the air, and waited for the smell to disappear in the room. I called a maid to serve me to wash and eat.

"Young lady looks really good today, but is there any happy event?"

The maid who spoke was a newcomer in Zhu Nan's house, her name was Cui'er, but she was in the seventeenth or eighteenth grade, and she was somewhat colorful, especially her pair of peach blossom eyes, which narrowed into two crescent moons when she laughed. He was watching Mrs. Du eating, and seeing her always smiling, he couldn't help but make fun of her.

"I'm in a good mood and I look natural." Madam Du took a sip of the lotus seed porridge, glanced at the smiling Tweety, put down the bowl and frowned and said, "Who made this?"

Tweety said: "Today's kitchen made it."

"It's so unpalatable, you're a bitch, you don't know if you want to taste it before serving it?" He grabbed the bowl and slammed it in front of Tweety: "Go ahead and serve another bowl, put more honey."

That Cui'er didn't dare to argue, she quickly lowered her head and left, while Madam Du looked at her and spat: "Hu Meizi."

Na Cui'er left the house and went all the way to the back kitchen, there was no place to express her grievances, tears flowed out uncontrollably, she couldn't help wiping away the tears with the back of her hand while sobbing.

"Tweety, what's the matter? Why are you crying so sadly?" A familiar maid asked in surprise when she met her.

"Sister Xiang, it's Miss Cousin. I served her a meal just now. She said that the lotus seed porridge was not good, and she scolded me for no reason. Who did I offend?"

Tweety'er was even more heartbroken when she saw acquaintances from her hometown, her peach blossom eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and she was pouring out bitter water in choked sobs.

"It's that bitch again." The maid named Sister Xiang frowned after hearing this.

Although Tweety was sad, when she heard her say this, she hurriedly stopped her and said: "Don't say that, she is Miss Cousin, it's terrible if this word reaches her ears."

Sister Xiang sneered and said, "What Miss Cousin, you're just a slut who got lucky."

Tweety's eyes widened, she knew that the person in front of her had been in the Langjun's house since she was a child, and must have known many things, but she never expected to hear such words.

　It's not easy to be a dad. . . . . .

　　Bringing the baby to work to take care of confinement and writing books, I feel hollowed out, o(╥﹏╥)o
