"General, we have arrived." Jiang Jiong, who led the way, stopped.
Lv Bu, who was thinking about things, looked up, and above the gate of the wide mansion in front of him, there were two gilt characters of "Jiang's Mansion" written on the door plaque, which was majestic and majestic.
Lv Bu said 'hmm', put aside the things he was pondering for the time being, and followed Jiang Jiong into the mansion.
The courtyard of the Jiang Mansion is far-reaching, and along the way, there are servants who salute and greet him.Compared with the extravagant mansions in Luoyang in the Central Plains, the houses of aristocratic families in Liangzhou obviously have a very different style, and most of them are based on simple and heavy architectural styles.
The old man Jiang Mian was sitting in the hall, when he heard footsteps outside the house approaching, he opened his skinny eyelids, got up and walked towards the door.
The head of the Jiang family greeted him in person, which was enough to give Lu Bu face.
However, when he saw Lu Bu, the old man was still slightly stunned for a moment, he did not expect that General Du Liao was so young.
Fortunately, the old man is also a person who has experienced a lot of experience, so he quickly came to his senses, invited Lu Bu into the hall, and said in a gentle tone: "I invited you late at night, did you bother the general?"
"Patriarch Jiang speaks seriously. It is an honor for me to be a guest in your mansion. If you want to bother me, I should say so."
Lu Bu replied with a smile, his expression was modest and polite.
This trip to Liangzhou to fight the rebellion was just one of them, the most important thing was that he had some thoughts about Liangzhou.
After experiencing life and death again in Nanyang, Lu Bu's vision gradually opened up.If a strategic relationship of allies can be established in Liangzhou, it will definitely be of great help in the future.
If you can get the support of the Jiang family and the Gai family, it can be said that half of the success is achieved.
After entering the hall, Lu Bu knelt down on the honored guest's seat, and Mr. Jiang ordered the servants to serve fine wine and meat for Lu Bu to taste.
Lu Bu poured fine wine into the cup, and respected Jiang Mianyao: "Thank you, Patriarch Jiang, for your hospitality."
"General Lu, you are being polite. If you are grateful, it is still up to the old man to say it."
Jiang Mian raised the wine bottle and respected Lu Bu, then drank the wine, and then continued: "Zhong'er has not been disciplined since he was a child, and his reckless and rebellious personality must have caused a lot of trouble for the general. I am here to make amends to the general on his behalf."
"What does Patriarch Jiang say? Zhong Yi is a master of martial arts. He is a top-notch rider and archer. He is a rare talent in my camp. Not only has he never caused trouble, but he has also won a lot of merit..."
It was the first time Lu Bu saw such an amiable patriarch.Take his father-in-law, Mr. Yan, for example, with that temperament, he is not a good talker at all.
Since Jiang Mian respected him a foot, he naturally had to give old man Jiang enough face.
If you only praise the old man, he may not be happy, but if you praise his son, even if he curses Nizi on his lips, he will be very happy in his heart.
While toasting, Jiang's servants walked in from the door, holding two plates of dark yellow gold cakes in their hands, and respectfully placed them on the table in front of Lu Bu.
"What's the meaning of this?" Lu Bu stopped holding his glass of wine in the air, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked Jiang Mian, the host here.
"Small care, it's not a respect, I hope the general will accept it with a smile." Patriarch Jiang replied with a smile.
Lu Bu put the glass of wine in his hand on the table, and looked at the two plates of golden cakes that many people could only dream of. There was no trace of greed in his eyes, but only endless indifference.
Back then, he was forced to flee by a plate of gold cakes from Mr. Yan.Coupled with the familiar smile and tone on Jiang Mian's face now, it really irritated him a little.
It is the habit of the aristocratic family to look down on these little people from poor backgrounds from the bottom of their hearts.Thinking that if you have money and power, you can trample on the dignity of others at will.
But Nian Zai always had good intentions, and Lu Bu did not turn his face in a single game, but said in a low voice: "If Patriarch Jiang really wants to thank me, then please exchange these for food and distribute them to those who are starving in the city." the people to solve their current difficulties.”
In times of war, food is far more valuable than money.
Hearing Lu Bu's refusal, Jiang Mian thought he was too little at first, and couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in his heart.
After listening to Lu Bu's words, Jiang Mian's old face turned red, and he looked at Lu Bu with a hint of other meaning in his eyes, admiring him: "I never thought that the general still has such a benevolent heart, but this old man has misjudged me. Okay. , and do everything as the general tells you.”
After Jiang Mian waved her hand, the servant took the gold cake on the table and took it down.
These actions changed Lu Bu's impression of Jiang Mian a lot.
In the second half of the narration, Lu Bu's expression became a little dazed.This old Liangzhou wine didn't cause much reaction when it first entered the stomach, but as we chatted, the wine slowly came to the head.
Relying on the drunkenness in his chest, he said with sleepy eyes: "Zhong Yi doesn't want to marry Miss Dong's family, so you don't have to force Mrs. Jiang. You still have to find a woman you like to marry."
Hearing this, Jiang Jiong, who was sitting opposite, lit up his eyes, and quietly gave Lu Bu a thumbs up, which was what he wanted to say.
Mr. Jiang did not agree with this, and his enthusiastic tone faded a bit: "This is the Jiang family's business, so don't bother the general."
Getting married and marrying has always been about "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker".Besides, could it be that he, a father, would murder his own son?
Lu Bu, who was sitting on the seat, shook his head and waved his hands, gurgling a lot of words, looking completely drunk.
Afterwards, he got up and swayed to the front of Jiang Mian's position, with his hands resting on the table, his head drooping slightly, his mouth full of the smell of alcohol.
The voice was not loud enough for the two of them to hear: "In other words, what General Dong can give, maybe I can do it too."
In the depths of the pupils that no one was paying attention to, a flash of sharpness flashed like electricity.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Ginger is old and spicy.
The old man was only stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, and said with a smile on his face: "General, you are drunk."
Then the old man gave his son a hard look, this brat really dared to say anything.He can be 100% sure that this matter was definitely caused by Jiang Jiong.
However, this young man surnamed Lu also had a lot of ambition in his eyes.But in this world right now, it is not enough to have ambition alone, one must also have the strength to match it.
Lu Bu came down shaking his body, and the old man didn't explicitly refuse, which meant that there was still hope.A lot of things can be said to the point, Mr. Jiang is a smart man, as long as he can convey this meaning to him.
At the same time, Lu Bu is also very clear that the heads of these aristocratic families are all people who have experienced big waves and sandstorms.
"I've been bothering you for a long time, so I should go back."
Lu Bu who came down from the steps did not go back to sit down, but turned to bid farewell to Jiang Mian.
Knowing that Lu Bu was leaving, the old man didn't seem to have any intention of keeping him, so he summoned the steward who was waiting outside the door, and said to Lu Bu, "That old man won't force you to keep the general, let the steward send the general out of the mansion for me. "
Lu Bu nodded, and when he followed the steward to the hall door, he suddenly heard an old voice mixed with sullenness from behind: "You stay here for me!"
Lu Bu thought he was calling him, but when he looked back, he realized that Jiang Jiong was following behind him at some point, and wanted to leave together.Mr. Jiang refused to agree, so he stopped talking.
"General, I don't want to stay at home and be a second-generation ancestor who just eats and waits to die." Jiang Jiong whispered to Lu Bu with a distress signal in his eyes.
If he said it directly, the old man would definitely not let him go. If it were Lu Bu's words, it would be a different matter, and there might still be some hope.
If Jiang Jiong can have this kind of ambition, of course Lu Bu will fully support him.He turned around and discussed with Jiang Mian: "Originally, I am an outsider in the Jiang family's affairs, so I shouldn't interfere, but since Zhong Yi thinks that a good man has ambitions everywhere, the head of the family should also support it. This is a certain In my humble opinion, I ask Patriarch Jiang to consider it."
Jiang Mian's face was slightly displeased when he heard this, and he waved his hands and said, "I'll make my own decision on this matter, General Lu should go back to bed earlier."
Lu Bu said 'Farewell' and walked out the door, Jiang Jiong still followed behind without any hesitation.
Seeing this, the old man was so angry that he smashed his crutch on the ground two or three times, regardless of the presence of outsiders, he immediately roared angrily: "Nizi, if you dare to walk out of this door today, I will break your leg! "
