Chapter 98: Work in the Lu family first?

Zhuge Jin, who was looking around, heard the call and looked over suspiciously.

When he saw Zhuge Ruoxue outside the threshold of the hall, Zhuge Jin looked ecstatic, quickly stood up and came out and said, "Second sister!"

When Zhuge Ruoxue saw that it was indeed Zhuge Jin, her tears instantly surged out like a flood bursting from a dam.

Zhuge Jin came out, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to her and said, "Second sister, don't cry. I have something to ask you."

Zhuge Ruoxue suppressed her crying, took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and choked with sobs: "Being able to see that my brother is well, my little sister can rest in peace even if she dies. Brother, if you have anything to say, just ask!"

Zhuge Jin glanced at Lu Yi, forced a smile and said, "Why are you at Lu Changshi's house? If you were here, my uncle would not have gone to Yuzhang to take office yet? Where are my eldest sister, second brother, and third brother?"

Zhuge Ruoxue looked back at Lu Yi beside her, held his hand, and said with a happy smile on her tear-filled face: "My little sister has been married to her husband for many years. As for my uncle, eldest sister, second brother, Third brother, my little sister has long been separated from them."

"Back then, our family fled Xuzhou with my uncle."

"Brother, after you were dispersed by the crowd, we searched everywhere for your whereabouts."

"Who would have known that when we encountered Xuzhou Cavalry Commander Zang Ba Luocao, he became a bandit and plundered everywhere. On our way to escape, my little sister was caught by his people and trafficked everywhere."

"Fortunately, I met my husband. He bought my little sister, and my little sister has been with her husband since then."

Zhuge Jin looked at Lu Yi with a smile on his face in surprise.

No wonder he said that on the way here.

It turns out that he is already his brother-in-law.

Thinking that his second sister could marry a high-ranking official like Lu Yi and be the patriarch of a large family, Zhuge Jin felt a little happy.

My second sister is very lucky and can marry the right man.

Zhuge Jin smiled and said to Zhuge Ruoxue: "The fact that my second sister can marry Lu Changshi is because of the blessing of our ancestors of the Zhuge family."

Zhuge Ruoxue looked at Lu Yi affectionately, her face flushed, and she hummed in a low voice.

Lu Yi pointed to the hall and said, "Go in and talk!"

Looking at Zhuge Ruoxue, Lu Yi said: "Brother has come all the way here. I have asked my servants to prepare some food for him. After eating, let him rest at home for a while."

Zhuge Ruoxue nodded heavily and said, "Everything is at your husband's discretion."

Zhuge Jin said hurriedly: "I can't stay long."

"Now that the second sister is safe, the uncle and the others are separated. I heard that they are going to Yuzhang to take office. The uncle Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, is the prefect of Yuzhang. I want to go and see and confirm the uncle, the eldest sister, the second brother, and the third brother. 's safety."

Lu Yi calculated the historical development of Xiayuan and said to Zhuge Jin: "My uncle is probably not in Yuzhang now. He may have gone to Jingzhou or on the road."

Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ruoxue both looked at Lu Yi doubtfully.

Lu Yi lied to Zhuge Jin and said: "Some time ago, I received information that the imperial court appointed Zhu Hao as the governor of Yuzhang. Now, Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou, was defeated by Sun Ce's army and fled towards Yuzhang."

"Zhu Hao should join forces with Liu Yao and stick to Yuzhang. It is impossible for his uncle to take office."

"Compared with Liu Biao's petition, the Yuzhang governor appointed by the imperial court is the official official."

"Uncle cannot take office in Yuzhang, so he can only go to Jingzhou."

"After all, Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao has a good relationship with his uncle."

"Moreover, now that Liu Biao wants to stabilize his power in Jingzhou, he needs the help of a friend like his uncle. Going there is the best choice for him at the moment."

"Now that there is war everywhere, brother, don't wander around. If something happens again, Tiantian will be in trouble. How dangerous is it?"

"When everything settles down, I will accompany you to have a look."

Zhuge Ruoxue hurriedly said to Zhuge Jin: "Brother, my husband's arrangements are very reasonable. If you leave like this again, my little sister will not worry!"

Zhuge Jin was a little embarrassed.

Zhuge Ruoxue said angrily: "Brother, if you don't obey me again, my little sister will have you tied up!"

Lu Yi laughed dumbly.

Zhuge Ruoxue is a well-behaved person when he is at home.

Unexpectedly, facing Zhuge Jin, she actually had the temperament of a shrew!
Seeing that Zhuge Ruoxue was a little angry, Zhuge Jin said to Lu Yi with some embarrassment: "This is a bit troublesome for Lu Changshi——"

Lu Yi said: "You are Xue'er's brother, and you are also my brother. This is Xue'er's home, and naturally it is also my brother's home. What's the trouble? Moreover, my brother is very talkative and talented. Maybe I will have a brother in the future. Help." Zhuge Ruoxue said hurriedly: "That's right! Brother, this is your home too!"

Zhuge Jin then said to Lu Yi: "If Lu Changshi has anything to do, just give me your instructions."

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Don't be so polite at home, just call me Junli."

Zhuge Ruoxue echoed: "Brother, he is my husband, you are the elder brother, you are the older one!"

Zhuge Jin smiled solemnly and said to Lu Yi: "Okay, Jun Li, if you have anything to do in the future, just ask me."

The group entered the hall and sat down.

Zhuge Ruoxue and Zhuge Jin started chatting.

Zhuge Ruoxue, who usually didn't talk much, seemed a bit talkative at this time, asking where Zhuge Jin had been in the past few years after they were separated.

It turned out that Zhuge Jin was dispersed by the crowd that day and did not dare to go back to Langya to look for him. He could only follow the crowd to Shouchun.

After staying in Shouchun for two years, he wanted to find an official position.

However, he had no connections and no recommendation from officials. He could not even meet a county magistrate, let alone get an official position.

It happened that Yan Zhen had also fled from Pengcheng to Shouchun, and Yan Zhen still had some family property. The two met like old friends, so they bought a few acres of land outside Shouchun City. While making a living, they also inquired about the current situation, and The whereabouts of Zhuge Xuan.

Or because they had no connections or channels, the two of them had little access to useful information during their years in Shouchun.

It was not until half a year ago that Zhuge Jin accidentally found out from a merchant from Jingzhou that Liu Biao had nominated a group of people to be officials.

For example, the governor of Changsha, the governor of Yuzhang, the governor of Lingling, etc.

However, some positions fell through.

For example, Liu Biao petitioned Kuai Yue to be the governor of Changsha.

But in fact, the governor of Changsha had been appointed by the court to be named Zhang Xian.

There the traders laughed at the chaos of the times.

A Jingzhou shepherd actually submitted documents and appointed officials to other cities around Jingzhou. How could he care about the authority of the imperial court?

Zhuge Jin ignored the ridicule. He heard that Zhuge Xuan was appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang by Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, so he discussed with Yan Zhen that the two of them would go south from Shouchun, preparing to go from Lujiang, Danyang, and finally rush to Yuzhang.

Who knows, the Danyang River is blocked, and it seems that war is being prepared.

Just when I didn't know what to do, I met Hongzi passing by.

From Hongzi, Zhuge Jin and Yan Zhen heard that the war in Qu'a was over and they were temporarily safe. Hongzi also invited Zhuge Jin and Yan Zhen to go to Wu County, Wu County together.

Hongzi even said that he was the brother-in-law of Sun Ce of Wu County, and he might be able to recommend Zhuge Jin and Yan Zhen to become officials.

Yan Zhen was a little moved.

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to follow Hong Zi and Yan Zhen to Wu County.

But he didn't expect that by chance, he would meet Lu Yi and Zhuge Ruoxue.

Zhuge Ruoxue looked at Lu Yi with a smile and said: "Husband, my brother and his friends are also well-read poetry and books. Now our Lu family is also short of people, why not let them work in the Lu family first? Husband, you are now the chief historian of the residence. When the opportunity is right in the future, will my brother and his friends be officials again?"

Zhuge Jin blushed a little.

Unexpectedly, he had to rely on his second sister to become an official.

However, he did not dare to speak.

No, there is even some expectation.

In today's world, it is difficult to move forward without connections.

Lu Yi nodded and said, "No problem."

Thinking of the relationship between Bu Zhi, Zhuge Jin and Yan Zhen in history, Lu Yi said to Zhuge Ruoxue: "Bu Zhi's team is still short of a few capable people. I think my brother and his friends will get along with Bu Zhi very well." Okay. But I’m afraid I’m a little tired from doing business here and there.”

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "I'm fine. What does all this suffering mean?"

Lu Yi smiled and said, "That's okay. When Bu Zhao comes back, I will immediately arrange for you to meet. When the opportunity is right in the future, I will try my best to recommend you, brother, to become officials."
