Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 618 Everyone Laughs at Me for Being Crazy
As Liu Ji's brother-in-law, Lu Ze is younger than Liu Ji.He was now forty, but relying on his family connections, he got the opportunity to pay tribute to the emperor and came to Xianyang City.

It just happened that he met his brother escorting the prisoner to Xianyang City again.Although the Lu and Liu families were related by marriage, Lu Pheasant's brothers actually looked down upon his brother-in-law.

Especially Lu Ze.

The Lu family was originally the descendants of Jiang Taigong of Qi State.The lineage of the Lu family of Marquis Wenxin of Qin today and the lineage of Lu Gong of Shanfu County in Wei State were indeed the same family hundreds of years ago.Although Lu Gong's lineage is not that prominent in politics, he has inherited the fine tradition of Lu family being engaged in business for generations, and his family is well off.

Later, Lu Gong's family moved to Peixian County.

[As for the reason for the migration, the information says that Lu Gong wanted to avoid his enemies. I think this reason is very unscientific.The real reason should be that at that time, Qin Shihuang annexed the world. On the one hand, he moved the world's wealthy businessmen to Xianyang City, and on the other hand, he engaged in large-scale immigration.

Lu Gong's family bears the Lu surname, and their big trees attract wind. Whether they are forced to move to Xianyang City, or they follow political orders to move elsewhere, it will be a fatal blow to Lu Gong's family, and Lu Gong is unwilling to do so.Therefore, the Lu family should have fought against the Qin Dynasty officials, violated the law, and fled to Peixian County.

The historical area of ​​Peixian and Fengxian was the junction of Qi, Wei and Chu during the Warring States Period.Many people fled there because the government couldn't control it.There are also places like Daze Township. 】

Ordinarily, Lu Ze's family was originally a large businessman, so they would naturally continue to do business when they arrived in Pei County.

His family was already well-off, so Lu Ze could ask his husband to teach him at home since he was a child. As for the six arts of a gentleman, he also learned them.

Although their family is not aristocrats and does not have aristocratic status, they can live a privileged life as nobility.

Therefore, Lu Ze has more experience than Liu Jiyue, and judging from his clothes, he has more temperament.

The main reason why Lu Ze hates Liu Ji is because of his father Lu Gong.Marry his beautiful sister to a rogue.

When Lu Fei first married Liu Bang, her life was not rich. Liu Bang often disappeared for three days because of official business and dealing with friends.

Lv Zhi personally led his children to engage in farming, mulberry knitting, filial piety and raising children, and lived a self-reliant life.In his early years, Liu Bang often wandered around wearing a homemade bamboo hat, swindling food and drinking. Once he escorted a prisoner, because he was drunk and made the prisoner escape, he had to die in the swamp area at the foot of Mangdang Mountain.In addition to independently supporting the family, Lu Pheasant also traveled long distances from time to time to deliver clothes and food to her husband.

Today, other men have plenty of food and clothing at home, but he is lazy and makes his sister's delicate hands become thick and big, which naturally makes Lu Ze feel distressed.

Furthermore, what Liu Ji did was inherently unpopular, and in the eyes of Lu Ze, who was well versed in the six arts of a gentleman, it was even more unforgivable.

But this time, by coincidence, Lu Ze not only met one brother-in-law, but two.

Fan Kuai.

Fan Kuai, the dog meat seller.Lu Ze naturally looked down upon him even more.

Also because the sister who married him was a concubine and not a compatriot, Lu Ze hardly paid attention to Fan Kuai.

Although these two brothers-in-law came from common people, they were both smart people, and it was impossible not to sense the contempt that this arrogant brother-in-law had for them.So Lu Ze offended Liu Ji and Fan Kuai from the beginning.

[Historically, Lu Ze was also a hero who helped Liu Ji conquer the world, but Empress Lu waited until Liu Ji's death to make her king. 】

Figures like Lu Ze, if not for the war, would have relied on their own talents to show off their talents in their own country.

But because of the hateful war, he even lost his own country, Wei.As for his family's ancestral business, although he didn't like it, with Lu Gong in charge, he could only continue to run it.Fortunately, he is not so disgusted with business, so he can often help his sister.

But every time he went to see his sister, Lu Ze felt regretful.

Although the elder brother hated Liu Ji, he felt that he hated the young and kind-hearted Lu Pheasant even more.Because Lu Pheasant didn't despise Liu Ji at all, it was just a matter of giving him children, and he was responsible for everything, and he was obedient to Liu Ji in every possible way.

So much so that Lu Ze's sneer and disdain on his face made both brothers-in-law shut their mouths.

Liu Ji felt aggrieved, but at this time, he really couldn't break his face.They still want to go home together.

Lu Ze sat in the upper seat and said very calmly:

"This is Xianyang City, at the feet of the Emperor. Everything you say and do must be appropriate, without any mistakes. This is not a rural depression, let alone a butcher's home with low dog sheds. You should be careful when speaking, otherwise it will make others laugh. .”

"You can afford to disgrace this person, but I, Lu Ze, cannot afford to disgrace him."

After what Lu Ze said, the people accompanying him in Peixian County stopped talking. Everyone put down their wine bowls, but they all looked at Liu Ji.

But little people have their own way of survival.

If he can't stand such ridicule, then naturally he can't hang out.

As a low-level person, but able to be active on stages of all walks of life, you must learn to be thick-skinned.

Liu Ji was not angry, but still smiling. He immediately took the wine bowl, bent over and walked to Lu Ze, smiling:

"The brother of the bitch is also the brother of my Liu Ji. My brother's kind reminder means that Liu Ji has learned a lesson. But Liu Ji is a rough man by nature. Only noble people like my brother know these etiquette and rules."

Liu Ji served Lu Ze wine, but Lu Ze completely pretended not to notice, and even turned a blind eye to him.

When Liu Ji saw this, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he did not show it and still had a smile on his face:
"When I came to Pei County this time, I didn't expect that the three of us who were traveling with us were all one family. Fan Kuai, why don't you come over and serve wine to your brother-in-law."

Looking at the excitement, Feng Jie stroked his beard and admired this little man named Liu Ji.

This man named Liu Ji is definitely not a good person.

When he offered wine like this, everyone knew how disgusting his brother-in-law was.This brother-in-law has lost face in front of everyone and doesn't realize it. He is indeed a self-righteous fool.

[Brother-in-law: the name or collective name between the husbands of the sisters, also known as brother-in-law]

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized this.

It turns out that the man in the hall is Liu Ji's brother-in-law.

Fan Kuai and Liu Ji grew up wearing a pair of trousers.Although Fan Kuai didn't want to see this brother-in-law, he immediately went over with the bowl in his hand, and the two of them served wine to Lu Ze together.

This is particularly eye-catching in a wine shop.

The people who come here today are basically common people who are usually trampled under the feet of the Gongqing family and cannot stand out.

Everyone can be regarded as 'equal'.

This is the fundamental reason for the lively atmosphere in the market today.

However, in this atmosphere and environment, Lu Ze grabbed the wine bowl, threw it to the ground, and yelled at Liu Ji and Fan Kuai:

"You two, one is a scoundrel who steals chickens and dogs, and the other is a butcher who kills dogs. You humbled yourself and asked for an official position, but you actually take yourselves seriously!"

For a moment, there was silence in the wine shop, and everyone looked embarrassed.

But who can sit here tonight without such status?

But this Liu Ji, he was like a roly-poly. No matter how the other party verbally insulted him, he was domineering and arrogant, but he always had a smile on his face.

"My brother-in-law is really angry today, his temper is even bigger than Weng's father Lu Gong."

The implication is, why do you, someone of his generation, show off your power here, and you have embarrassed your father without even realizing it?

Everyone understood the sarcasm in these words and laughed.

Many people gathered around Liu Ji and sat back down, continuing to talk and laugh.

When Lu Ze saw it, his eyes turned red with anger, but there was nothing he could do.What puzzled him even more was that when such an incident happened, everyone moved closer to Liu Ji and laughed louder and louder.
