Chapter 242: Encounter in Zhuo County (2)
Zhang Fei looked down at the signed land deed, then looked up at Wen Du, who looked harmless, and asked sternly: "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, it's just that the thing is returned to its original owner."
"Return the property to its original owner?" Zhang Fei paused, turned away and asked: "I sold the restaurant and Taoyuan for 50,000 yuan. They are no longer mine, so how can I talk about returning the property to its original owner?
host?"
Regarding Zhang Fei's narration, Wen Du nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, the original shop owner also told me this, so I paid ten times the price and bought it back. Now this is my property.
How I want to handle it is my freedom."
"Ten times...is there something wrong with your brain? Can you buy a house many times better than this restaurant for ten times the price?" Zhang Fei's already dark face darkened again in response to Wen Du's squandering.
A layer of black.
"I know, houses like that are everywhere in the south, so I'm not surprised." Wen Du said as he stuffed the land deed into Zhang Fei's hand. "But, in this restaurant, in that peach orchard,
There are three upright and strong-willed men. Based on this alone, the price is worth a hundred times, not to mention ten times."
Looking at the land deed that was forced into his hand, Zhang Fei tensed his mouth and wanted to ask questions but stopped. Wen Du took the lead and said, "Don't think about giving me the money. I'm not short of money at all. You can give it to me."
I won’t want it either.”
"What is your purpose in doing this? We have not been friends for a long time..."
"I will never force you to change your opinion of me, but my appreciation for you three brothers will not change because of some differences." Wen Du patted Zhang Fei's broad shoulder, walked up to Liu Bei, and leaned over.
Zuo bowed and said: "Mr. Xuande, before you come back, I will go to your hometown first."
"Lousang Village?"
"Yes, there is a thousand-year-old mulberry tree inside, and there is still some snow on it."
Wen Du's description seemed to make Liu Bei fall into memories. He raised his head slightly, his eyes shining...
"But it's a pity that your family was not found. When I followed the villagers' directions to your house, the house was already covered with cobwebs and weeds. It looked like no one had lived in it for many years."
"Yes." Liu Bei nodded and explained: "My mother passed away in the third year after I left home. Later, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my second and third brothers and I summoned the local heroes to join the army and never returned since then.
At home, my relatives probably fled for their lives because they were afraid of the Yellow Turbans..."
There seemed to be some crystal tears in the corners of Liu Bei's eyes, it must be because he thought about the emotional place.
In fact, regarding the rumor that Liu Bei is a crybaby, Wen Du always believed that this was an expression of his true feelings. It was precisely because of his emphasis on feelings that he was so crybaby, so he watched Liu Bei compromise for Liu Xie
And crying, crying for my family is not objectionable, but I appreciate it even more.
"If necessary, I can arrange for manpower to re-extend the old house."
Regarding Wen Du's suggestion, Liu Bei shook his head in despair. "My parents are gone and my clan has moved away. Even if we rebuild it, it won't be as good as the original thatched house. My dear brother, I won't have to spend any money."
"That's wrong!" After hearing Liu Bei's opinion, Wen Du retorted sonorously and forcefully: "That's not a house, it's a home. It's the destination of Duke Xuande. If you are willing, I can help spread the news outside, maybe it will happen."
Some clan members have moved back, and other villagers in Lousang Village also often look forward to the return of Xuande Gong to his hometown. Even if he takes a step back, aren't the graves of Xuande Gong's parents still outside Lousang Village? They won't be able to wait until the Qingming Festival.
You can burn incense sticks and paper money for the two elders.
"This... well, I'll let my dear brother do the work." Liu Bei was finally convinced by Wen Du's repeated suggestions.
After finishing dealing with Liu Bei, Wen Du turned to face Guan Yu. Before he could speak, he was interrupted and said: "Guan is just a warrior who looks after the home and the courtyard. He has no worries and no family. You don't have to give me anything."
"Brother Guan, you are so direct..." With an awkward smile on his face, although he was rejected, Wen Du still took out a land deed from his sleeve. "This house is located in the second alley on the right side of the county seat.
Inside, it’s not far from the building, just two steps away.”
Under the watchful eyes of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, he placed the land deed on the table, placed a few gold cakes on it, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I have explained everything I need to explain, so I will just leave the land deed."
You can live here if you want. If you feel you really don’t want to have anything to do with me, then sell it.
The above money is enough to renovate Mr. Xuande's hometown."
After taking out all the gifts on his body, Wen Du called the waiter and led his beloved Ma Jianjia to the door of the restaurant. He jumped up with the stirrups. After sitting firmly, Wen Du raised his hands to the three people beside him and said: "
Xuande Gong, Second Brother Guan, Third Brother Zhang, and my younger brother go ahead, we will see you later."
"Wait a minute!" When Wen Du turned around and was about to leave, Liu Bei called him back. "Brother Xian, what do you mean by thinking about us like this?"
"There's no conspiracy in it." Wen Du held the reins tightly, holding back Jian Jia who was a little angry because his run was interrupted. He turned around and continued: "Whether you believe it or not, I never told you to let go.
In the enemy's position, although our relationship has never returned to the past, brother, I will never forget the life-saving grace of the third brother Zhang outside Leling City, and the courtesy of the second brother Xuande and Guan.
Treat me virtuously. If you need it in the future, feel free to say hello to me, brother. As long as it doesn’t go against my principles, I will definitely contribute to whatever you do."
After saying this long story, Wen Du waved his hands and said goodbye. After running out for two steps, Wen Du tightened the reins again and asked Jian Jia to stop. Then he turned back and added: "Xuan De Gong, if you have time, you can go to Lu."
Ronsai, take a look, there is an old acquaintance of yours there."
"May I ask my dear brother, who is that?"
"You can go over and see for yourself and you will know. I promise I won't let you down!" After giving it a try, Wen Du waved to the three brothers behind him and ran away completely...
"Brother, don't you have any acquaintances in Youzhou?" After Wen Du left, Zhang Fei couldn't help but asked.
Liu Bei was also confused about this. After thinking hard for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he murmured to himself: "Could it be Zi Jing?!"
"Brother, who is Zijing? Is he your fellow countryman?"
"Not fellow countrymen, but better than fellow countrymen. We hit it off when we were studying, and we became close friends after exchanging glasses of wine. After graduation, he went out to join the army. I hadn't seen him for a long time. Later I learned that he was in Yuan Shao's hands.
I'm an official below, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to meet him when we were guests at Yuan Shao's house. Later, when Yuan Shao took advantage of the various princes to attack Yuan Shu, he came to attack my senior brother, General Gongsun. It was probably at that time that Zijing
Appointed by Yuan Shao to guard the border fortress."
"I didn't expect that elder brother would have such a friend..." Guan Yu stroked his beard and lamented the past between Liu Bei and Qianzhao.
"Brother, isn't this good!" Zhang Fei rubbed his fists and suggested to Liu Bei: "Anyway, the war is over, and we have nothing to do. Why don't we drop by? If I am really an old acquaintance of yours.
, why don’t you just have a drink with him and reminisce about old times?”
"Brother, I agree with my third brother."
Seeing that his second and third brothers agreed, Liu Bei also made a decision in his heart, and immediately said: "I will go back and explain the situation to Your Majesty now. Second brother, third brother, you two prepare your luggage first, and we will meet tomorrow morning
Let’s go!”
After learning that his friend whom he had not seen for many years was in front of him, the haze in Liu Bei's mind for the past few days was instantly blown away. The reason he was anxious to bid farewell to Liu Xie was not because he did not want to be with Liu Xie, but because he was unwilling to stay with Liu Xie.
There is no need. Now that the world is settled, the Liu family basically has no ability to make a comeback. Even if he is unwilling, he cannot change the facts. In this case, why not take the opportunity to divert attention and stop thinking about those bad things. After all, life is still
To continue...
A few days after Liu Bei decided to meet with Qianzhao, Wen Du also hurried back to Lunu County, Zhongshan Kingdom. As soon as he returned, Sun Jian complained to him about Cai Yong's situation, saying that it was the veterans of the court who learned about Liu Xie.
After going to Youzhou, they clamored to find him. Sun Jian didn't care how others wanted to torment him, but as Wendu's father-in-law, Cai Yong was definitely going to be left behind. Seeing that he was weak, Sun Jian immediately
He ordered Cai Yong Wuhuada to be tied up and asked Cheng Pu to take him back to Jianye.
As for the little old man Wang Yun, because Diao Chan was here, he was killed by his daughter's few words and two lines of tears and surrendered...
But I stayed. The problem is that the relationship with Lu Bu is still as bad as ever. Basically, the two cannot appear under the same roof, otherwise there will be yin and yang and tit-for-tat. Fortunately, Diao Chan mediates between the two, otherwise
According to Lu Bu's violent temper, when he broke through his reason, maybe it was Fang Tian who raised his halberd and Wang Yun's head fell off...
"Thank you for your trouble, my lord."
Looking at Wen Du who bowed his head and handed him over, the melancholy Sun Jian gave him a sad smile and waved his hands: "This is nothing, but what should we do next? The situation outside the Great Wall is like a seamless egg.
Same, I don’t know what to say.”
In response, Wen Du handed a cup of hot tea to Sun Jian, and while holding the tea cup to warm himself, he answered: "The Art of War says: Before the troops and horses move, food and grass go first. We must first transport the food and grass from other states and counties."
Yizhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou were ready to send troops.
Secondly, it’s a fact that you and I don’t know what’s going on outside the Great Wall, but please don’t forget, my lord, that there are at least three people around us who have dealt with the barbarians.”
