After seeing off Xiao He, Cao Shen and others, Liu Bang sat alone in the courtyard, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.
Why do others work from time to time but achieve nothing?
Is it just because I lack a noble person?
But this is a bit big, where can I find a noble person in Pei County?
Liu Bang, who was a little depressed, picked up the wine bowl and drank a sip of wine. He was about to get up to clean up the table when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "Liu Saner, are you there?"
"Not here!"
Liu Bang was stunned when he heard the shouts and replied in anger.
A sudden burst of laughter came from outside the door:
"Okay, Liu San'er, no wonder I didn't invite me to drink today. It turned out that I was eating alone in this person! Tell me, where did the official money come from?"
"What official money? I fished this fish in the water, the rice was delivered by my neighbors, the vegetables were from my sister-in-law's house, and the wine was bought by my own money. Don't talk nonsense about you!"
Liu Bang was in a bad mood, but suddenly heard someone wrongly accusing him of eating and drinking on public funds, and he couldn't help but become angry.
However, the visitor didn't care at all and said to him with a smile: "I saw Xiao Lijian and others coming out of you just now. Did something big happen?"
"A man who drove the train, why do you care about these things?"
Liu Bang replied impatiently and continued to clean up the table.
The visitor looked at Liu Bang carefully and suddenly felt that today's Liu Bang was a little different from the Liu Bang in the past.
In the past, every time he drove to take the guests back, he would come to Sishuiting to chat and drink with Liu Bang.
And Liu Bang never neglected him.
The two had a close personal relationship and talked about everything.
But today, Liu Bang was obviously absent-minded and even a little depressed.
"I didn't want to care about your messy things. I just passed by here and came to see you by the way. Since you don't welcome me, I'll leave!"
"Hey, hey, hey, wait, Xiahou Ying!"
Seeing that the person coming was leaving, Liu Bang suddenly realized that his attitude was wrong just now, so he hurriedly chased after him and stopped him.
Xiahou Ying paused and looked back at Liu Bang with a blank expression: "What else does Chief Liu Ting?"
"The head of the bird! I'll call me Liu San'er to be kind!"
Liu Bang laughed and scolded, raised his hand and pulled Xiahou Ying's arm back, asking as he walked, "It's almost dark, why are you still rushing to the car?"
"Monkey King has an order, but no one dares not to follow me!"
"Mr. Wang County?"
Liu Bang was slightly stunned and couldn't help but say, "He actually asked you to pick someone up? Who is it?"
"Do you have any wine?"
Xiahou Ying smiled sly.
Liu Bang was very curious and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, yes! You sit down first, I'll clean up!"
Soon, Liu Bang packed up the table, but found a pack of dried fruit from somewhere and handed it to Xiahou Ying.
Xiahou Ying ate a dried fruit, sipped with rice wine, and then slowly said, "The person I went to pick up is a friend of the magistrate of Wang County. It is said that he is a Danfu person, known as Lu Gong."
"Mr. Lv?"
Liu Bang frowned, without any impression.
But Xiahou Ying said again: "Mr. Lu moved his family to Pei County because he avoided revenge from his enemies. Magistrate Wang not only arranged for me to pick them up, but also prepared to welcome Mr. Lu!"
"Oh? Could this Mr. Lu have a great background?"
"I don't know if it's a big deal, but I think it's a noble person who can get so much attention from County Magistrate Wang!"
A noble person?
Liu Bang was shocked and thought to himself that he just wanted to find a noble person?
It’s really a place to search for something without any effort to get a “noble person”!
Liu Bang, who was ecstatic in his heart but pretended to be nothing on his face, asked Xiahou Ying with interest: "Do you know where the banquet is held? Let's go congratulate you too!"
“In the county town”
Xiahou Ying answered casually, and suddenly felt something was wrong again and waved his hands repeatedly: "I'll forget it, I want to go there yourself!"
"how?"
Liu Bang raised his eyebrows and said in a slutty manner: "Are you afraid of embarrassing?"
Xiahou Ying shook her head awkwardly and said, "No, it's mainly because she has no money."
"What's wrong with no money? I can't congratulate you if I don't have money?"
"Since it's a congratulation, you can't go empty-handed."
"Oh!"
Liu Bang yelled without comment and started chatting with Xiahou Ying for some time. The chat lasted for half a night.
The next day, it was just dawn.
Liu Bang got up from the bed, took a brief wash, and then went to Peixian County.
At this time, a restaurant called Zhujintai in Peixian County was filled with people.
Officials of all sizes in Pei County all brought gifts and gold to build gold platforms.
Seeing that there were too many people coming, the entire inner hall of Zhujintai could not sit, so he clearly stipulated: "If the gift is less than 1,000, wait for a seat outside the hall."
When Liu Bang rushed to the Jintai, he happened to see a wooden sign standing in the middle of the corridor between the inner and outer halls, and frowned.
He had disliked such occasions in his heart, and looked down on these Peixian officials who were esteemed, so he didn't bring any penny when he came.
But thinking that his good brother Xiao He had a bright future and he was still struggling, he felt uncomfortable, so he gritted his teeth and walked into the Jintai with a swagger.
At this time, a servant stepped forward and stopped him: "Please register the gift here!"
"What gift?"
Liu Bang looked at the servant with his eyes squinted.
The servant smiled and nodded and said, "Mr. Wang has regulations. Those who have less than a thousand gifts will be waiting outside the hall!"
Liu Bang's eyes rolled and asked with some amusing question: "Where are those who have gifts of more than one thousand, where can they sit?"
"Of course it's the inner hall"
The servant answered casually, and suddenly felt that he was not perfect enough, so he added: "If you have more than one thousand gifts, even if you go to the inner hall, you have to determine the seats according to the amount of gifts!"
"hehe!"
Liu Bang was so angry that he was laughed at the servant's words, and a 'smash' spirit surged up. Without saying a word, he walked directly to the table where the famous post was written, grabbed a brush, and wrote four big words: "Congratulations 10,000 yuan!"
Then, under the stunned eyes of the servants and others, they walked into the inner hall with a swagger.
Soon, he found a seat and just took his seat.
"Liu Ji, the head of Sishui Pavilion, congratulate you 10,000 yuan!"
When the county servant sang Liu Bang's famous post, everyone was shocked.
"What's the situation? Where did Liu Saner get so much money?"
"Yes! Isn't this fooling people?"
"I think he is tired of living, and he actually dares to disturb the county magistrate Wang!"
The colleagues were not surprised by Liu Bang's financial resources, but by his courage.
You know, the power of county magistrates in ancient times was not ordinary, and a mere minor official was not controlled by others.
Just as the county magistrate Wang was looking dark and was about to order someone to drive Liu Bang out, Mr. Lu, who was unknown to the details, smiled and greeted him: "Oh, I don't know which friend is so generous, I'm lucky to be happy!"
"Are you? Duke Lu?"
When Liu Bang saw an old man with white hair, he smiled at him and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
“That’s right.”
Mr. Lu touched his beard and looked at Liu Bang carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he felt.
It turns out that he knows some facial techniques.
Judging from Liu Bang's appearance, he felt that this person was extraordinary, so he felt respectful.
"Come on, please sit down"
