Chapter 8

It has been several months since Lu Gong moved here, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.On this day, the magistrate of Cao county had a public holiday, and he invited Lu Gong's family to his house to taste melons and osmanthus.Because Cao De did not agree to his marriage proposal, Lu Gong felt that it would be inconvenient for Chier to go to his house again, so he asked her to stay at home to look after the house.Mother asked her: "How do you eat at home alone?" Lu Zhi replied cleverly: "I can do it."

Not long after Lu Gong left, Liu Bang came to visit.He knocked on the door several times, and there was no movement inside for a long time.Knocking a few more times, Lu Pheasant thought it was Lu Xu who came back to pick up something, and hurried over to open the door, only opened halfway, saw that it was Liu Bang, and hurriedly said, "There is no one at home."

When Liu Bang saw that it was Lu Zhi, he smiled and said, "Aren't you at home? Why is there no one?"

"I...you..." Hearing what Liu Bang said, Lu Zhi didn't know what to say, but just held on to the two doors with both hands.

Seeing her airs, Liu Bang guessed that she might be the only one at home and wanted to have sex with her alone, firstly to let her have a good impression of him, and secondly to get to know this girl better, so he said, "Let me in."

Lu Fei has always been a girl with strong opinions and courage. She knew that her parents had betrothed her to Liu Bang, but she just heard what her father said about Liu Bang, so she thought it would be great if she could meet alone, so that she could know whether she was right or not. , if it is not good, I strongly disagree.Seeing Liu Bang came today, and there was no one else at home, she was both nervous and excited, and reluctantly said: "Okay."

Lu Zhi asked Liu Bang to sit down in the main room, and the two of them glanced at each other. Lu Zhi quickly lowered his head and rubbed his hands repeatedly on his knees.

Liu Bang asked her: "My parents have gone out, and you are alone?"

Lu Zhi replied: "Yes, my father, mother and sister have gone out to visit guests, and I am left alone to look after the house."

"Did your parents tell you about us, what's your opinion?" Liu Bang asked.

Lu Zhi's face immediately turned red, and without looking at Liu Bang, she replied shyly, "I know."

After the words were clarified, Lu Zhi's mind suddenly became much more relaxed.She thought, don't I want to meet this person alone? It's a rare opportunity. I have to hurry up and ask him something, and said actively: "Father said that you must be a person who can become a great talent in the future. Can you tell me about yourself? What do you do now?" what?"

Seeing how generous the girl was, Liu Bang immediately fell in love with it, and said seriously: "I am now the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Peixian County. My main job is to maintain public order in the city, maintain order in the neighborhood, mediate civil disputes, and help the county. Do some errands. I’m not bragging to you. Before I did this errand, the law and order in Peixian County was very poor. There were often fights, people who lost things, and things that were placed in a mess. My approach is to strengthen Patrol, and if someone is found to be doing bad things, he will be beaten up first, and then he will be fined some money, which will make him feel pained and distressed, and when he grows up, no one will dare to do anything wrong again."

Lu Zhi had never heard of such things in the past. Hearing that Liu Bang managed the whole city so well, he was very impressed. He giggled and said, "You are so powerful. You have a lot of people under you. Don't be afraid of those bad guys." Take revenge on you?"

"Don't be afraid, I have been in Pei County for a long time, and I have many friends. They are all willing to help me, and no one dares to bully me." Liu Bang said.

"Are you going to do this all the time? Do you want to do anything else?" Lu Zhi asked again.

"How can I, I am just learning some officialdom routines in this small position, and I will go out one day. A few years ago, I saw Qin Shihuang's majesty when he was traveling in other places. At that time, I thought 'this is what a man should do' , I will do the same one day. Let me tell you, don’t tell outsiders that if you spread it, you will be killed. Look at the heroes out there, and I plan to pull a team out and fight for a few years. A prince will be relevant. Otherwise, what would I do with so many friends, I think I will need them someday." Liu Bang was a little immersed in the future picture he imagined, and also took the opportunity to brag in front of the girl who was happy.

When Lu Zhi heard this, she said "Ah", she was a little scared, and she secretly rejoiced that Liu Bang really had extraordinary ambitions, and her father was right.She looked up at Liu Bang carefully, Liu Bang opened his mouth and cleared his throat.It suddenly occurred to her that she forgot to pour water for him, so she hurriedly stood up and poured a glass of water on the bar table, walked up to Liu Bang and handed it to him with both hands.

Liu Bang leaned forward and took it with both hands, saying "thank you", but his hands touched Lu Zhi's.Just as Lu Zhi's hand was about to be withdrawn, Liu Bang took the teacup with one hand and hurriedly grabbed Lu Zhi's hand with the other.He also put down the teacup with his other hand and quickly took it over, holding Lu Zhi's hands with both hands.Lu Zhi couldn't withdraw it even if he wanted to.He looked at Lu's pheasant affectionately, feeling how delicate and soft his hands were, and said hurriedly, "Pheeter, I like you."

Lu Zhi was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, he struggled and said, "Don't be like this, don't be like this."

Liu Bang let go of Lu Zhi's hand, and the two sat down again.He had nothing to say and said, "Look at you little girl, you have a lot of energy."

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bang with joy on his face, "You said I am a little girl, how old are you?"

"It's older than you anyway, why, your father didn't tell you?" Liu Bang replied.

Lu Zhi suddenly remembered what he heard at the Wulong Hotel that day, and his face became unhappy. "You are so old, have you never had a wife?" asked.

"No, I've been traveling abroad to visit friends all these years. I don't have a fixed place to live. I don't have time to worry about starting a family. If your father didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it." Liu Bangshun said, as if giving Lu Zhi was joking.

Lu Zhi didn't smile when he heard that, but continued to ask with a straight face: "Who is that waiter at Wucheng Restaurant?"

Liu Bang was startled, wondering how she knew about this, it seems that they already understood it clearly.I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "It's just an acquaintance. I often eat there, and they are all familiar with me. That woman is a prostitute, and they want to do business. They insist on making that woman's child recognize me as godfather. You How could I find a prostitute? My family will never agree, and my friends will laugh when they find out. I’m not just bragging about you. Although I, Liu Ji, am not a great person, I won’t just find any woman. Be a wife."

Hearing what he said clearly, Lu Zhi smiled "puchi" and said, "I don't think you will either. If you dare to deceive me, you should go to whomever you want, and I won't want you."

Seeing that this test was finally passed, Liu Bang felt a lot more relaxed, and said casually, "How could it be, baby."

When Lu Zhi heard this, his handsome eyes opened: "What did you say?" He asked Liu Bang back.

Liu Bang immediately realized that he had spoken smoothly, and hurriedly said: "It's getting late, I have to go." He stood up while speaking.

Lu Zhi also hurriedly stood up, and the two of them moved closer together.Liu Bang stretched out his left hand to grab Lu Zhi's waist, turned around and hugged her and said, "Phee, you are mine anyway, let me hug you." Lu Zhi was about to resist when Liu Bang's face was pressed against her. , lips touched Lu Zhi's lips.Lu Zhi's head still wanted to move back, but Liu Bang's right hand immediately came up to hug her head and hooked it back, his mouth tightly covered together.Lu Zhi stretched out her little tongue, and felt that Liu Bang's lips were so thick and strong, and Liu Bang felt that Lu Zhi's mouth was so sweet and moist, and his tongue was so clean and flexible.Liu Bang hummed: "Pheasant, I like you, I like you."

Lu Zhi also whispered: "Brother, I like you too. Brother, I like you too."

Sishui Road is a street that runs through the east and west of Peixian County. The county government is located in the middle of the north side of this road. From a distance, you can see a tall Chinese toon tree and locust tree. Under the tree, several well-arranged blue-gray houses form the front and back. There are two courtyards, the front yard is where the county magistrate Cao Deshengtang works, and the back yard is his home.Lu Gong's family walked from the north moat for about half an hour and arrived here.They came in through the west gate, and the county magistrate and his wife were waiting for them in the yard.

Lu Gong said: "Trouble."

County magistrate Cao hurriedly said with a smile: "My brother is getting angry again." Then he asked: "Why didn't your pheasant come?"

"Going out with some of her new friends." Lu Gong replied looking for a reason.

"This girl. Our Guo Er still wants to see her." Cao De was a little disappointed.He has a son named Cao Guo. The last time Duke Lu refused to propose marriage, but he did not obviously refuse. He still wanted to facilitate this matter in his heart.

There are many trees in Cao De's courtyard.As soon as Mr. Lu came in, he smelled a strong fragrance. Cao De led them to a osmanthus tree. The tree was not big, but it was full of white flowers, as if deliberately provoking people. .A jujube tree in the middle of the courtyard was already covered with fruits, and it was time to ripen. Mrs. Cao beat it a few times with a stick, and the jujubes fell to the ground.Lu Xu hurriedly picked up one, blew on it with his mouth, and filled it into his mouth, feeling crispy and sweet.Lu Gong and his wife also felt that it was very good after eating it, so they couldn't help but praise it.The two persimmon trees in front of the window of the main room also hung a lot of fruit, the branches were bent, and a few bees were flying on them.Mr. Lu and the others had just moved here, and the trees in their house hadn't grown yet. Seeing the lush flowers and trees in Cao's courtyard, he felt a little envious, and thought that his own house would grow like this.Lu Gong was admiring the trees and flowers, but he didn't seem to hear Cao De's words just now.

The host was chatting with the guests, and just sat down under the twig tree in the courtyard, when a young man came in from outside, Cao De hurriedly shouted: "Guo Er, come and meet your Aunt Lu Bo Lu. This is what I often tell you Uncle Lu who moved from Shan County."

Cao Guo came to see him in a hurry, hugged his hands and beat him a thousand times, and shouted: "Hello, uncle and aunt." Then he said to Lu Xu: "Hello, sister."

Before Lu Gong came to visit, Cao Guo went out, and now seeing this child, he is also a neat young man.He hurriedly replied, "Hello, nephew." Lu Xu looked at Cao Guo and nodded and smiled.

After a while, Cao Wushang brought a chopping board from the south room, put two watermelons on the chopping board and cut them open.Lu Gong glanced at him, his eyes flickered, and hurriedly greeted: "Master, sir, eat watermelon."

Cao Delian said: "Okay, okay, you go." Then he said to the guests: "This is the famous sandy land watermelon in Lulou, Peixian County. Please pay me back. Is it better than the alkaline land melon in Shanxian County in our hometown?" eat?"

Lu Gong took a few bites, it was sandy and crunchy, sweet and bright like honey, and praised while eating: "It's great, it's great."

Lu Xu's mouth was dripping with juice, and his cheeks were also stained with melon flesh.Mrs. Lu saw it, and hurriedly handed her a handkerchief to wipe.He also said: "Look at your child's eating habits."

Mrs. Cao looked happy, and hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

The two families sat together for a long time to do homework. For lunch, Cao De prepared a lot of food and wine, including Weishan Lake wild duck, Zhang chicken, carp with four nostrils, white eel, red lotus root, water chestnut, as well as Gaohuangji's red-crowned rooster, double-nosed rooster. Bell goat, red taro vermicelli, radish balls, qianzi, stuffed seeds, hairy taro, etc. There are steamed, boiled, braised, stewed, fried, fried, and Peixian. The special soup is Geng soup.Some of these foods were eaten by Lu Gong's family when they came to Pei County, and some had never been eaten before, but the taste was very delicious.Lu Gong thought it was the best banquet he had ever had in his life.During the dinner, Lu Gong was happy and drank a few more glasses.Cao De asked Cao Guo to toast again, and Lu Gong drank all the cups.Seeing that Lu Gong was almost drunk, Cao De took the opportunity to smile and asked: "Brother Lu, what do you think of your nephew, how about letting him be your son-in-law?"

Lu Gong woke up suddenly when he was obedient, thinking that this old Cao was telling me to drink more on purpose.But Guo Er doesn't look like a worthless person. The old friend treats him so well, isn't it just to marry a daughter? I can't reject the old friend's face because of this, and think of the bad things others said about Liu Bang to him, so I just He said cruelly, "Okay, I'm fine, but that child has a bit of a stubborn personality. If she doesn't agree, you won't be able to pull back ten old cows." Lu Gong finally gave Cao De an answer, but he didn't Say it to death.

Mrs. Lu also heard these words, she saw the old man uttered the words and took them back, she opened her mouth and said nothing.

Cao De then said: "That's good, that's good, you can tell the pheasant well, I've taken a fancy to this daughter-in-law."

After going back for a few days, Lu Gong suddenly remembered what he had promised Cao De that day, and hurriedly said to his wife: "I seem to have agreed with Pheasant to be Cao De's daughter-in-law that day? What should I do? I have already promised her to Liu Ji." Ah. Well, it's all about the wine."

"That's right, you're doing all kinds of things that might be the first thing you do, and it depends on how you end up this time." Mrs. Lu said.

"I think Guo Er is not bad, or I agree with him. Although Liu Ji has a good face, he has already fallen in love with a woman and has a child. What you heard that day is true. I have already inquired about it. It is clear. Although he is not married, what is the difference? I am afraid that the pheasant will marry him, so if I know this, I will be useless for the rest of my life." Lu Gong said helplessly.

"It's really not going well. It's such a troublesome thing. But how do you tell Ji'er? A few days ago, I saw that she was listless when she heard that Liu Ji might have an affair with that woman. Later, she became happy again. Listening to her sister Said, 'She said she likes Liu Ji'. Knowing that you betrothed her to Cao Guo these days, she was so angry that she said she would marry no one but Liu Ji. This girl is really worrying." Mrs. Lu looked at Mr. Lu and said.

"This is really your daughter. Just say that Liu Ji is too old and not suitable for her. How about persuading her?" Mr. Lu said, taking a sip from his teacup.

"Hmph, what if it's my daughter? I think this child is also an expert in housekeeping. Whoever wants to marry her may not know how prosperous the family will be." Madam Lu said.

Seeing that the wife is now facing her daughter, Mr. Lu was a little annoyed, and said: "Okay, okay, okay, you are better at pinching and counting than I am."

Madam glanced at him and ignored him.
