Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 120 Lu Zhi's Birthday Banquet
The next day, Lu Zhi's mansion was extremely lively.But one thing is the same as the last gathering of He Jinfu, that is, no eunuch was present.

Zhao Lei and Cheng Yu walked together and arrived at Lu Zhi's mansion with gifts.

Although Lu Zhi has now been dismissed from his official position, the court still did not confiscate his real estate in Luoyang. With the salary he accumulated on weekdays, Lu Zhi still lived a very prosperous life.

When they came to the door, Zhao Lei took out the invitation card and asked his servants to bring the gifts. The guard saw that it was Zhao Lei, and hurriedly said, "So it's General Zhao, please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

After Zhao Lei thanked the guard, just as he was about to walk in, he heard a loud voice from behind: "General Wei Zhao Lei, Master Zhao came to celebrate his birthday." The sound of the voice startled Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei walked all the way and saw Lu Zhi's mansion decorated with lanterns and festoons in a joyous atmosphere. Under the leadership of the servants in the mansion, Zhao Lei came to the hall.Before I went in, I saw a big longevity character hanging on the wall in the hall, and many people had already arrived.Some are Lu Zhi's students, some are Lu Zhi's friends, and some are Zhao Lei's colleagues in the officialdom.

"Welcome, Zihan. The old man has lost his way when Zihan comes. Forgive me, Zihan!" Lu Zhi said.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Zihan dares to invite an adult to greet him at the adult's birthday banquet." Zhao Lei said politely.

"Come, come, come. Let me introduce you." Lu Zhi took Zhao Lei's hand and introduced to those present who didn't know Zhao Lei.

"Everyone, this is my old friend. Now I am in charge of General Wei, Zhao Lei, and General Zhao." Lu Zhi announced to everyone.

Those who knew Zhao Lei naturally didn't make a fuss, but those who didn't know Zhao Lei were in an uproar.

The only thing that surprised everyone was that Zhao Lei seemed to be in his early twenties, but he turned out to be General Wei of the imperial court, which was simply unimaginable.

"So he was the hero who killed Zhang Jiao." Some people thought of Zhao Lei's achievements.

"Hmph! What a hero, he is just a dog under eunuch Zhang Rang." At this time, Wang Yun stood up from the crowd and said.

Zhao Lei saw that it was Wang Yun who made a sarcasm of him, so he knew that he was still brooding over the matter of He Jinfu last time.Wang Yun is a Situ, and his official position is higher than that of Zhao Lei, so he dared to insult Zhao Lei in public.

"What? He's from Zhang Rang?" The people below were in an uproar again.

"Lord Wang Yun, please respect yourself." Lu Zhi said with some displeasure.After all, it was Zhao Lei introduced by Lu Zhi, but Wang Yun jumped out to sarcasm. Didn't he slap Lu Zhi in the face in public?

"Grand Lu, rumors only stop with the wise. I, Zhao Lei, am open and aboveboard, and I am not afraid of other people's bad words, just treat it as talking and farting." Zhao Lei said without paying attention to Wang Yun's words.

The audience burst into laughter, Wang Yun didn't expect that he would be ridiculed by Zhao Lei instead.

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want." In order to avoid Wang Yun's embarrassment, Lu Zhi said.

The hall was boiling again, and no one deliberately mentioned this matter.

At this time, there was a sound from outside the hall.

"Master Yilang Cai Yongcai came to celebrate his birthday."

"Brother Bojie, welcome." Lu Zhi stepped forward to greet him.

Cai Yong and Zhao Lei naturally knew him. Zhao Lei knew him not because of Cai Yong's fame, but because of Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan and Cai Wenji.

Although he was an official in the same dynasty, Zhao Lei had never had any contact with Cai Yong.Because the other party was a group of literati and bureaucrats, and the Eastern Han Dynasty respected literature, these literati usually looked down on generals like Zhao Lei, so Zhao Lei didn't bother to curry favor with Cai Yong, lest he use his hot face to stick to other people's cold ass.

"Hehe, Zigan, I'm so happy to see you. Come, take a look at the birthday gift I prepared for you." Celebrity Cai Yong took out the birthday gift. Zhao Lei saw that it was a piece of calligraphy with the words Shoubi Nanshan four Character.

"Brother Bo Jie's calligraphy is really getting more and more superb!" Lu Zhi laughed after seeing it.

Cai Yong smiled, looking very proud.

"This is official script!" Zhao Lei interrupted suddenly.

Cheng Yu tugged at him behind his back, signaling that he was talking too much.In fact, after Zhao Lei finished speaking, he felt a little talkative.

Cai Yong looked at Zhao Lei in surprise, and asked, "General Zhao is also proficient in calligraphy?"

Cheng Yu thought, this time it's over, the lord will definitely make a fool of himself.So various ways to get out of the siege swirled in Cheng Yu's mind.

"I don't dare to say I'm proficient, I just have a little research." Zhao Lei laughed.

When Zhao Lei said that, he gave Cheng Yu a gesture to signal him not to be nervous.

"Really?" Cai Yong looked at Zhao Lei suspiciously.

"Then why not General Zhao offer us a book on the spot!" Wang Yun interjected at this time, obviously Wang Yun wanted Zhao Lei to make a fool of himself.

"Wang Situ, can you stop interrupting when others are talking?" Zhao Lei said angrily. Zhao Lei was already very angry at Wang Yun's meddling.

"Could it be that General Zhao's previous words were false?" Wang Yun ignored Zhao Lei's anger and asked with a sly smile.

"Mr. Lu, do you have a pen and ink?" Zhao Lei asked Lu Zhi without looking at Wang Yun.

"Yes, but Zihan, are you okay?" Lu Zhi's voice was extremely low in the last sentence.

Zhao Lei nodded.

After a while, the pen and ink were delivered to Zhao Lei.Zhao Lei flicked his sleeves, and wrote the four words "loyalty and devotion to the country" on the paper to evaluate Lu Zhi's personality.

Cai Yong and Lu Zhi took a look at Zhao Lei's calligraphy, and their eyes sparkled.Wang Yun wanted to poke his head around and look around, but was pulled back by Zhao Lei, and said: "I am writing for Lord Lu and Cai, if you don't know calligraphy, don't mix it up." After saying this, he answered Wang Yun in public. slap.

"Good words! Good words." Cai Yong said excitedly, interrupting Zhao Lei's words.At the same time, Lu Zhi nodded frequently beside him.

"Zihan's font has been separated from the subordination and Xiaozhuan. It is really unprecedented and unique! This is the first time I have seen such a good calligraphy. There are mountains beyond mountains, and there are people beyond people! Zihan can be called a master of calligraphy with this hand." Ah!" Cai Yong unknowingly called Zhao Lei's name, and he seemed much closer than before.

Hearing Cai Yong's praise to Zhao Lei, many people at the scene also booed and cheered.

Zhao Lei looked at Wang Yun with a very smug look, and almost fainted Wang Yun on the spot.

"Dare to ask Zihan, what font is this? Forgive me for my ignorance." Cai Yong asked Zhao Lei.

"This is regular script." Zhao Lei said.

"Haha, I have opened my eyes today, this is another new calligraphy." Cai Yong laughed.

Cheng Yu took advantage of Cai Yong and Lu Zhi wandering around with Zhao Lei's calligraphy, pulled Zhao Lei over, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, I really scared my subordinates to death just now, when will my lord know how to write calligraphy?"

"I secretly learned from Mr. Jia, and then made a new innovation myself." Zhao Lei boasted.

In fact, Zhao Lei decided to write regular script after he learned how to write calligraphy from Jia Xu and felt that the official script and small seal script of the Eastern Han Dynasty were too difficult to write.It took him a long time to practice well.The reason why this regular script was praised in front of Cai Yong is that there is no such font in this era, so naturally what Zhao Lei wrote is unique.

"Congratulations, my lord." Cheng Yu said.

"Congratulations? Congratulations to me?" Zhao Lei asked strangely.

"Cai Yong is the leader of those scholars, and there is no harm for us to make friends with them. Maybe the lord can improve his reputation by virtue of his friendly relationship with the scholars!" Cheng Yu analyzed.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Lei asked.

"Now this is not a place to talk, my lord, let me talk to my lord slowly after I go back." Cheng Yu said.

Zhao Lei nodded, this is indeed not the place to say such things.

So today Lu Zhi's birthday has a heated discussion around the theme of Zhao Lei's calligraphy.In fact, there are few regular scripts in this era, but after Zhao Lei's troubles and Cai Yong's calligrapher's publicity, it is estimated that the regular script in Chinese history will appear in advance of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After celebrating at Lu Zhi's mansion until late at night, Zhao Lei returned to the general's mansion.
