Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 166 A Smile That Allures the City (Thanks to the book friend 2024…6714 for the reward and support ~ Brother Crab Crab ~)
After hearing what Feng said, Lu Bu immediately understood the other party's intention and turned his gaze to Liu Ba.

Liu Ba wanted to persuade his mother, but Feng stared at him with her beautiful peach blossom eyes:
"Your grandfather and father were both governors. How can you, a descendant of yours, be worse than them, since you are more talented than them?
"If you continue to stay at home and still feel proud of yourself, I will sever the mother-son relationship with you!"

Hearing Feng's heartless words, Liu Ba knew that he could not disobey his mother's order, so he could only nod and agree:
"Since mother has made up her mind, I will obey!"

As he said this, Liu Ba reluctantly came to Lu Bu and bowed deeply to him.

Lu Bu knew very well that Liu Ba did not join him voluntarily.

In this case, even if you take office, you are likely to engage in passive resistance.

In order to make the other party serve him wholeheartedly, Lu Bu put forward a new suggestion:

"Well, Lujiang has beautiful scenery and fresh air.

“If Madam Feng is interested, you can go to Lujiang with Zichu to live there permanently, and let Doctor Zhang treat you.

“This way, Zichu can come to my camp and work with peace of mind, and achieve fame and success.

"It can keep you and your son together, and it can also cure your illness.

"Killing three birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?"

Hearing this, Liu Ba immediately stood up and looked at Feng.

Feng shi pondered for a moment and nodded:
"Marquis Wen's suggestion is indeed good. In this case, I would like to thank you.

"I wonder when Lord Wen will return to Lujiang?"

“No rush, I still have to go to Guiyang, Madam Feng and Zichu can prepare in advance.

"We'll come pick you up when we return."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he didn't stay for long.

After getting up and saying goodbye, he followed the county magistrate Yong Mao to live in the county government, giving the mother and son time to adapt.

After Lu Bu left, Liu Ba wanted to say something, but Feng interrupted him directly:
"Why, you don't listen to your mother?

"Besides, we have already promised Lord Wen, and going back on our word now will only lead to our own death.

"You are under his command, so you should display your talents to the fullest extent possible!
“Strive to achieve a higher position than the governor in the future!
"In this way, your short-lived father would be happy for you if he knew about this...

"I know that you think you are noble and don't want to get involved in worldly disputes.

“But now we are living in a chaotic world, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of future generations by staying in a corner.

"Only by reaching a high position and holding power can we make life better for future generations. Do you understand?"

Liu Ba nodded solemnly:

"I understand, I will just agree to my mother's request."

Seeing that her son's expression was no longer as helpless as before, Feng revealed a gentle and beautiful smile.

……

The next morning, Lu Bu said goodbye to Yong Mao and led everyone from Zhengyang County into Guiyang County.

Speaking of Guiyang County, the first person that Lu Bu thought of was not Zhao Fan’s beautiful sister-in-law Fan.

Instead, I thought of Cai Lun, the inventor of papermaking.

Cai Lun was born in Guiyang County.

When it comes to paper, Lu Bu thought of the toilet sticks used to wipe one's buttocks in the toilet during that period, which were made of wood or bamboo chips.

When using it for the first time, Lu Bu found it quite fresh.

However, after a long time, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he tried to wipe his butt with Cai Hou paper.

The effect is indeed much better than that of bamboo strips, but Wen Ji complained that it was extravagant and wasteful.

After all, the paper-making process at that time was complicated and was mostly used for writing and painting, so ordinary people could not afford it at all.

Only a great prince like him could be so extravagant and wasteful in spending on paper.

However, Cai Hou paper is actually not comfortable to use.

It is a bit like the straw paper burned at graves in the previous life, but it is rougher than straw paper and has the risk of "serious penetration"...

Therefore, according to his memory of his previous life, Lv Bu ordered craftsmen to process Cai Lun paper in detail. Through the processes of soaking, boiling, washing, sun-drying, beating, fishing, squeezing, and baking, Cai Hou paper was upgraded to handmade paper!

Not only is the process simpler than before, but the range of materials used is also wider.

Most importantly, this handmade paper greatly reduces costs.

Whether it is used for reading, writing, or going to the toilet, it is much more comfortable than before.

When Wen Ji got this kind of paper, she was also very surprised and never complained about him wasting it again.

However, this thing still cannot be popularized among ordinary people. After all, lower cost does not mean no cost.

Most ordinary people cannot afford expensive paper, nor do they have much need to use it...

In less than two days, they arrived at Chen County, the seat of Guiyang County.

The governor Zhao Fan had been waiting for a long time and invited Lu Bu and his men into the city for a treat.

At the banquet, Zhao Fan asked his sister-in-law Fan to come out and dance for everyone, just like last time.

The moment Fan appeared, Lu Bu, who had seen countless beauties, was immediately attracted by her.

I saw that Fan had fair and delicate skin and charming and affectionate eyes.

When the corners of her mouth raised, that charming smile made all the men present fall in love with her.

But Lu Bu quickly calmed down.

She is pretty and can be admired, but in terms of looks, she is slightly inferior to his two daughters, Qiao and Da Qiao.

She just has more charm than Erqiao, which is only found in mature women and little resentful women.

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Zhang Liao and found that the other party was lowering his head with a serious expression. He was the calmest man present.

Lu Bu nodded secretly.

As expected of him, he is the "Zhang Babai" who could make the Jiangdong rats tremble in fear in history. His self-control is indeed very strong!
As the banquet was about to end, Zhao Fan came to Lü Bu with a glass of wine in hand, and asked as he toasted:
"I wonder who Marquis Wen plans to marry my sister-in-law to?"

Although Lu Bu knew the answer in his heart, he still asked back:
"I wonder who your sister-in-law has taken a fancy to this time?"

Zhao Fan shook his head:

"Last time, your sister-in-law had her eyes on Buzi Mountain, but unfortunately she didn't get what she wanted in the end, so she has become more open-minded.

“I have also persuaded him, so this time, Marquis Wen can make the full decision.

"If Lord Wen is interested, it's fine for him to marry her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu immediately shook his head.

Naturally, he knew everything about Bu Zhi and Wen Pin.

It’s a pity that in their opinion, it is not worthwhile to create a rift between two people just for a woman who can be replaced at any time like clothes.

Therefore, both of them chose not to marry Fan.

Even if a woman sits on the position of queen or empress dowager, she still has no control over her own affairs.

Not to mention that she is just the governor’s sister-in-law…

As for himself, although he admired Fan's beauty, the timing was not right after all, and there was no need to marry every woman he met.

If you are too romantic, it will be detrimental to your reputation.

Lü Bu then pointed at Zhang Liao and said to Zhao Fan:
"That's Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, my most trusted and beloved general, who holds the rank of General Yamen.

"He is handsome and strong. Whether it's his talent or strength, he will not disappoint your sister-in-law."

When Zhao Fan heard that Lu Bu did not marry Fan himself, he was immediately disappointed.

But it doesn't matter. He has also heard of the great name of Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan.

One of Lu Bu's top subordinates, if he marries Fan, he will also get a lot of credit!
In the future, when Zhang Liao's position becomes higher and higher, if he has any problems, he can also look for his old sister-in-law Fan.

I believe that the other party will do his best to help because of his previous relationship with his brother.

Zhao Fan didn't want to wait any longer, so he said to Lu Bu:
"Since General Zhang is here, why not choose an auspicious day and get them married here!"
