Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 72: Everything Is For Money ([-])
On the street, there is still a peaceful atmosphere. It is noon at this time. Although the weather is not good, it is also very lively. The aroma of food is wafting from the food shops on both sides, and the stalls selling vegetables and cooked food stand on both sides without blocking the shop. At the door, pedestrians walked into the shop in twos and threes and sat down to eat. A salesman carrying a load passed by the street, yelling and attracting a group of children to watch.

Lu Bu and the others walked onto the street, and immediately felt the breath of the world. After staying on the mountain for a long time recently, they all had the illusion of being isolated from the world, and they felt inexplicably excited when they suddenly saw so many people.

"Brother, this Yuncheng County is quite lively." Deng Fei was wearing a Taoist robe, with disheveled hair and squeezed over: "I knew it was so easy to enter the city, so I wouldn't have changed into this bird robe."

"Here's a high-ranking official." Lu Bu glanced at Deng Fei, twitched the corner of his mouth, and suppressed his smile.

Deng Fei's current image is also thanks to wearing a clean Taoist robe, and he doesn't have any strange smells, otherwise he would have to be arrested as a crazy Taoist priest.

"Master... Senior official, do you want to hang around here?" Ma Ling wanted to say something, but Lu Bu gave him a glare when he just uttered a word, and immediately changed his mind.

A group of them came to Song Dynasty from the Liao Kingdom, and they fought with others along the way. In Zhending Mansion, he and Qiao Lie had time to go shopping in the market. Looking at the bustling market at this time, the young man The part of human nature that likes to join in the fun seems to be awakened, and I can't help but look eagerly at the shops and vendors on both sides, always wanting to have a look.

"I won't go to XX, you can arrange it yourself." Lu Bu has nothing to do, but he used to go shopping with his wife and daughter in his previous life, enjoying the warmth between his family members, and now a group of big bosses get together. With that thought, and the fact that Ma Ling bought a lot of books before and hadn't read them all, he didn't even have the idea of ​​wandering around.

Ma Ling blinked and looked at Deng Fei: "Brother Deng Fei, how about you?"

"There are so many people on the street, I won't go." Deng Fei also shook his head.

Seeing Ma Ling looking over, E Quanzhong also shook his head and refused: "I don't really want to buy anything, so I won't go."

"If you don't go, I will go by myself." Ma Ling pouted, looking at the booth beside him with curious eyes.

Seeing him suddenly having an idea, Lu Bu recalled the current situation on the mountain, so he couldn't help but said to Ma Ling: "You can hang out here, and help find out if there are any good men on the water nearby. Some people leave a boat with you, and wait for the night." Go back to the mountain by yourself."

Deng Fei clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, brother... What the officials said is that brothers have a good time hanging out here, and it's best to bring two good guys back."

Ma Ling's eyes lit up, he patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, take care of me."

As he said that, he turned around and squeezed to the side, and saw him twist and turn twice before disappearing into the connecting path, and he went somewhere.

"It's flexible." Lu Bu smiled and shook his head, looked at the sky and said, "Let's go, find a place to eat first. I haven't eaten meat for a few days, so I really think about it."

"What the high official said is true." Deng Fei was beaming with joy, and even E Quanzhong, a man who had always been taciturn, swallowed his saliva.

Now a few people sent people to inquire, there are many famous hotels and restaurants in this city, but Wujianlou is the most praised. They all say that this is a restaurant opened by the imperial chef from the capital, and it tastes good and uses a lot of ingredients. The dishes are diverse, so I highly recommend this place.

"Let's go to the five buildings." Lu Bu made a decision, come out to eat, eat whatever you want, otherwise it's better to deal with it on the mountain, not to mention that he is not short of money now.

How could the rest of the people have any opinions, they all followed Lu Bu towards the five buildings with a smile on their faces.

It didn't take long to arrive at these five buildings, but seeing the upper and lower floors of this building, it is very lively now, with many diners coming in and out. The bottom floor is where ordinary people eat, and the second floor has tables and chairs for ordinary meals. There is also a private room for conversations. People on the upper floor usually wear brocade clothes and jade robes, which is obviously a person of status. As for the top floor, it is a place for distinguished guests to eat and live. There are five rooms in total, so the hotel is named five rooms building.

It was time for dinner at this time, and the waiter in the lobby was very busy. There were people carrying dishes to and fro among the diners, but there was no accident. Obviously, they were all experienced guys.

"Senior official, the food here is good." Deng Fei raised his nose and couldn't help but praise.

Everyone could smell the aroma of food before entering the door, and the smell was even worse when they stepped into the hotel, and looking at the dishes on other people's tables made people appetite. But judging by the way he kept talking, Zhe Mo's taste is not bad.

"Several guest officers are here." The sharp-eyed Xiao Er in the store, although he was busy with his feet on the ground, he could still notice the situation at the door, and quickly dealt with the matter at hand and came up to him.

"Is there still room?" E Quanzhong came up from behind and blocked Deng Fei's front.

"Hey, Daoist!" The waiter in the store lowered his waist, and his face became more serious: "There are positions, how many are you?"

As he spoke, he took a look at the group of Lu Bu behind him, and was a little unsure if they were in the same group.

"We are all together." E Quanzhong gestured with his hands, indicating that they are all companions.

The waiter in the shop looked embarrassed: "Master Dao, there are so many people but there are not so many places."

E Quanzhong turned his head and looked around: "Is there a place on the second floor?"

The shop waiter nodded: "Coincidentally, someone just checked out in the private room upstairs, and there is still one vacant, but it can seat up to four people."

Lu Bu frowned, and looked at the hall subconsciously: "Why are there so few seats?"

The waiter saw that he was dressed richly and proudly, and knew that he was the right one, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Master, it's time to eat, so there's nothing you can do about it. If it's not like this, these guards will fight with others below. , you guys go upstairs and sit up, so it can be arranged, see if you can?"

Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at the people behind him. The group of people smelled the aroma of the food and they were already hungry. They wished they could sit down and eat now. Seeing the questioning look in the eyes of the village master, they hurriedly nodded to indicate that it's okay.

"That's how it is. Somebody and the two priests go up, you arrange for them to eat here, and then settle the bill." Lu Bu nodded, motioning to the waiter to lead the way.

"Okay, there are three people in the private room upstairs." The waiter in the shop shouted loudly, and then asked others to arrange the guards, and bowed in front of him to lead the way.

The room for the three of them was the innermost one on the left-hand side of the second floor. The room was relatively small, but it was also clean and tidy. There were green plants in the corner of the room. It was obvious that the crisp green was often taken care of.

"Guest officer, what do you eat if you dare to ask?" the waiter asked after the three sat down.

"Pick up what you are good at, and put more meat, and don't eat seafood. I'm a little tired of eating recently. I'm bringing two plates of seasonal vegetables." Lu Bu looked up at the waiter and said.

"Hey, yes." The waiter agreed, feeling very uncomfortable being stared at by Lu Bu's unemotional eyes.

"Bring two more jugs of good wine, let's go." Lu Bu added, telling people to go down.

"Okay, wait a moment, sir." The shop clerk hurried down to get ready as if he had been pardoned.

Not long after, a table of fragrant delicacies was ready. After taking the bowls and chopsticks and sifting the fine wine, everyone began to feast on it.

……

In another larger private room, the atmosphere is also in full swing.

"Come, come, eat, eat, hahaha." Lei Heng's purple-colored face was full of alcohol, and it looked purple like an eggplant. Now his mouth almost reached the ears, and he was full of joy, persuading his tablemates to eat liquor.

There were seven people sitting around, all with the same smile, congratulating Lei Heng frequently, holding up their chopsticks to pick up the dishes and eating the delicacies on the plate.

It's no wonder that Lei Heng is happy. He slowly made his fortune from a blacksmith who was in the market. After opening a small house, he successfully squeezed into the top figures in Yuncheng County. Afterwards, he killed cattle and gambled to accumulate a wave of money for Lei Heng. At that time, Timely Yu Song Jiang, who was recognized as the face of Yuncheng County, approached him.

"Brother, let me toast you again. I don't have any advice. I'm still a chaotic fool. I don't know how to behave in the world. I only know how to live in a muddle. My old lady is worried all the time. I, Lei Heng, can have an infantry today. The identity of the head, let the old lady have a bright face and a steady heart, it is all a blessing, and drink this cup to the full." Lei Heng stood up, holding the wine glass, his mouth was full of alcohol, his beard was full of soup Juice and wine are dripping down.

Song Jiang picked up the cup with a smile, touched Lei Heng, covered his face with his sleeve, and drank it all in one gulp: "Song Jiang dare not take credit for it, brother's achievement today is the result of his own hard work, Xiao Ke just added a few words Mouth, it should not be a word of praise."

Sitting under him is a big man, who has a tiger beard, one foot and five inches long, with a face like heavy jujubes, eyes like bright stars, looking like Guan Yunchang, who is the head of the horse soldiers in Yuncheng County - Meiran Gong Zhu Dong.

But seeing him smiling, he also picked up the wine glass: "Brother Gongming, don't be overly modest. No one in Manxian County doesn't know the name of Brother Timely Rain. He is the most able to help people solve problems. I have heard of Brother's name a lot in the past, but it's a pity that I have always been stingy. Fortunately, Lei today It can be said that it is a blessing in life for the Heng brothers to be able to have a drink with the elder brother when they are in office, and I respect the elder brother."

After speaking, he raised his head and did it.

Seeing this, Song Jiang hurriedly went to fetch the jug, and Lei Heng, who was beside him, had quick eyes and quick hands, quickly picked it up and filled it for Song Jiang.

Song Jiang said thank you, and quickly signaled to Zhu Dian, he also raised his hand and raised his hand, put down his wine glass and Song Jiang gritted his teeth: "Don't just respect Xiaoke, today is a good day for Brother Lei Heng, how can you be proud?" Letting Xiao Ke drink wine, it seems like this is not a preposterous guest. Come, brother Lei Heng, brother Yu respects you."

As he spoke, he took the wine jug and added wine, then picked it up and gestured to Lei Heng.

"It's extreme, it's extreme." Zhu Dian also poured a glass of wine, held it up and said, "From now on, you and I are the guarantee of the safety of the people in the county. Let's drink this cup. From now on, Zhu Dian will live and die with you on the battlefield. .If there are bandits, never let the brothers face it alone."

"That's right, Lei Dutou, our brothers are all good, none of them is bad."

"Zhu Dutou is right. Our arresting officer will protect one side's safety. There will be no one who flees. We are brothers in life and death."

"Everyone eats wine!"

All of a sudden, several experts from the Patrol Department made a fuss, arguing for Lei Heng to have a drink.

"Hahaha, okay, do it!"

Lei Heng's face was full of red, and he was very excited, but there were people toasting, and everyone who came was not rejected. The wine was all dry, and he lit the bottom of the glass at everyone, and sat down on his buttocks, only feeling a top-heavy feeling.

It was also Song Jiang who started the round. After this round, a table of people took turns to toast Lei Heng. After a while, Lei Heng had already drank four or five pots of wine.His face became more and more red and purple, and the feeling of bulging in his lower body became stronger. Finally, he couldn't help but stood up and said: "Excuse me, everyone, I've had too much wine, I'm going to Dengdong."

After speaking, he hurriedly got up and left the private room.

"This Lei Dutou is very elegant. If you go to clean your hands, you can say clean your hands, not Dengdong."

Someone was holding a wine glass, and after Lei Heng walked away for a while, he spoke.

"Hey~ Lei Dutou is a famous person after all, so naturally he has to learn to be more elegant, but I don't know if there are famous calligraphy and paintings on his gambling stalls."

"Really, a cannibal can't stop your mouth."

"Hahaha, brother Gongming, come on, my little brother respects you."

In the private room, the atmosphere did not decrease slightly because of the departure of Lei Heng, the protagonist, and it was still as hot as before.

……

At the gate of Yuncheng County, the gate is opened, and when someone enters, someone comes out. There are always people with burdens and carts coming out of the city and walking on the official road.

"Bai Sheng, where are you going to fool around, you mouse?"

At the gate of the city, someone acquainted called to stop the White Rat, who was about to leave the city with a package on his back.

Bai Sheng stopped in his tracks, rolled his eyes, turned his head to look, and seeing that he was an idler he knew in the city, he couldn't help showing a smile: "Yes, let's go out to see relatives."

"Since when did you have relatives?" The man looked at Bai Sheng suspiciously.

Bai Sheng immediately raised his voice: "What? They all have relatives and relatives, but I just jumped out of the rock?"

"Where can it be?" The idle man smiled: "You are always out of the city for the past two days, and you only come back in a day and a half. Maybe you have found a way to get money? Then don't forget the friends who hang out together. .”

Bai Sheng's pupils shrank, and he stretched out his hand to pat the burden with a smirk: "Don't talk nonsense, my pocket is cleaner than my face, where can I get money. Are you crazy about money? . "

Without waiting for the man to answer, he looked up at the sky: "I won't gossip with you anymore, it's not a very good day, I have to hurry, don't let it rain halfway through me."

"All right, let's go, let's go." The idle man didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand as a gesture of repelling: "Remember to bring me some food when you come back, the house is almost too late to open the pot."

Bai Shengshu rolled his eyes, and pursed his lips: "It's a beautiful thing you think, I'm not your father, so I can still support you?"

After speaking, he turned around and walked away, just exhaling a long breath from his mouth.

The idle man was still yelling from behind: "You are so stingy, what's wrong with bringing me some food? If you want to bring it, so what if I call you dad?"

Seeing Bai Sheng walk out of the city gate, he ignored him, took a mouthful of thick phlegm, turned around and staggered away.
