Jinghong Tower

Chapter 261 The military also needs psychiatrists

"Is General Lu getting married?" a girl asked in a low voice.

"No, definitely not. What kind of person is worthy of General Lu?" another girl said.

"Ask Winter Melon, Winter Melon will definitely know." The girl from before suggested.

Dong Gua often comes to Shantang and is very familiar with the people here. He lives in the administrative office and knows all the high officials, so it is definitely right to ask Dong Gua.

A child actually dragged the winter melon over.

"Brother Donggua, do you know that General Lu is married?" the girls asked.

Donggua shook his head: "No, General Lu and General Jiang are not married."

This is not a secret. There are most bachelors in Ran Jun, male bachelors and female bachelors. Even he, Dong Gua, is a minor bachelor.

"Look, I'm just saying that General Lu must not be married." The little girl said proudly.

"Then is he engaged?" Another girl asked.

Donggua shook her head again: "I don't know. No one will talk about whether they are engaged or not."

The girls were a little disappointed. Donggua was already living in the administrative office, and they didn't know whether General Lu was engaged. If it were them, they would have found out all the eighteen generations of General Lu's ancestors.

At this time, He Shuting, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Where is the eldest master? Is the eldest master engaged?"

The girls were all startled. They looked at He Shuting and then at Winter Melon.

Winter Melon was also startled. He shook his head subconsciously: "No, definitely not!"

Who can be worthy of someone like the boss?
A girl whispered: "Xiaoting, stop asking, that's the boss."

He Shuting blushed and said hurriedly: "I was just quick to talk, so I won't ask anymore."

She said to Donggua with an apologetic look: "Brother Donggua, please don't tell the boss."

Donggua chuckled: "It's okay, the boss is so nice. I won't blame you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

That day, Lu Zhen didn't leave the Shantang until the afternoon and returned to the office. He suddenly felt that this was the most fulfilling day he had spent since coming to Jinyang.

When he returned to where he lived, he rummaged through his luggage. Suddenly he thought of something and said to the soldier beside him: "Go and invite Miss Xiaoli over."

Just as the soldier was about to go out to invite people, Lu Zhen thought of something and hurriedly said: "Forget it, I'll go by myself."

Xiaoli was the person next to He Ran and had the same status as Zuo Xiaoai. Zuo Xiaoai was someone that even her own grandmother could do nothing about.

Therefore, Lu Zhen decided to go in person.

When Lu Zhen arrived, Xiaoli was sitting in the tea room making tea.

"Hey, General Lu, what's wrong?" Xiaoli asked.

Lu Zhen was a little embarrassed: "Miss Xiaoli, it seems that my salary has never been withdrawn."

As long as the generals who lead troops to fight outside have sufficient food and military pay, they hardly have to pay for their own food, drink, and expenses.

They don't rob the common people, but there are always spoils of war. When they captured Xinzhou, they ransacked Zou Wenguang's home. These were all spoils of war. He Ran would never restrict the generals from taking these spoils for themselves.

At that time, Lu Zhen picked out several boxes of valuable and rare items and had them delivered to Jinyang. The rest was divided between him and Jiang Tao, and all his generals also received some, and he also gave the soldiers two extra meals of meat.

Therefore, Lu Zhen himself is not short of money, and he has not even received a salary.

Xiaoli: "Really? That's right. General Lu's family is not in Jinyang, so there is no one to collect your salary for you." Lu Zhen: "Then do you know how to collect it? Who should you ask to collect it?"

Really, he didn't know, and he was too embarrassed to ask.

Xiaoli smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll take you there."

An hour later, Lu Zhen finally received his salary, but he did not take it all at once, because in addition to the silver, there was also rice and cloth.

Moreover, because he has never received it, he has saved a lot.

The next day, Lu Zhen hired a carriage and delivered all the Lumi and cloth to the shantang.

The steward brought the children out to greet them, and Lu Zhen once again received a sincere smile.

When it was time to eat, the steward asked him to stay and have dinner with him. He had also stayed yesterday, but Lu Zhen came empty-handed and was too embarrassed to stay for dinner.

Today is different. He has sent a lot of rice and a lot of cloth. It is still okay to stay for a meal.

There were very few tables and chairs for eating in the charity hall. Most people packed their meals and found a place to squat down to eat. Lu Zhen also wanted to do this, but as soon as he walked out of the dining hall, two children ran over and wanted to eat. Give him the eggs.

Children under twelve years old have one egg per day.

Lu Zhen quickly declined, how could he eat these children's eggs.

At this time, another little girl ran over. She was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a red face.

She ran up to Lu Zhen and stuffed a pair of shoes into his arms: "Thank you for beating Zou Xingfu to death. You must accept these shoes!"

The little girl ran away after saying that. Lu Zhen couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

Donggua came over with a bowl, looked at the girl's back, and said to Lu Zhen, "That's Ashan. Her family was destroyed by Zou Xingfu."

Lu Zhen was startled: "She is from Xinzhou?"

Yesterday, he discovered that there were many people from Xinzhou in the charity hall who had fled from Xinzhou.

In the past few years, the Zou family and his son preyed on the common people in Xinzhou and even massacred the village, so that many people fled their homeland and became homeless.

Donggua said: "Yes, Ashan is from Xinzhou. Zou Xingfu raped a civilian girl and forced her cousin to death. Her father and uncle wanted to file a complaint, but they were beaten to death by Zou Xingfu's men. Ashan escaped with his uncle's family. From Xinzhou.”

Lu Zhen's heart was filled to the brim, something he hadn't felt when he was in Xinzhou.

Lu Zhen didn't notice that a pair of eyes had been watching him.

It was another pleasant day. It wasn't until the sun set that Lu Zhen returned to the office.

He Ran knew everything about Lu Zhen's whereabouts in the past two days. She knew that the incident made Lu Zhen feel knotted.

The most taboo thing for generals on the battlefield is depression in their hearts.

Who knows who he could be aiming at with that gun?

He Ran felt that the army actually needed a psychiatrist. Unfortunately, there was no such condition now. What she could do was to let Lu Zhen relax and give him as much free space as possible.

"I heard from Dong Gua that General Lu is very popular in the charity hall," Xiaoli said.

He Ran: "He has been in a comic book. Most of the people in the charity are children, so he must be popular."

Xiaoli said with a smile, "Not only the children like him, but the girls also like him. Many girls are asking if he is engaged."

He Ran: "Really? I didn't realize that Young Master Lu is quite popular with women. If I tell Li Jinxiu later, she must not have thought of it."
