A bamboo forest, a bamboo courtyard, several bamboo houses, and a small pond on the side, although it seems simple, it exudes a bit of elegance, this is Zheng Xuan's residence.

In fact, when Lu Ren and Lu Xun brought Old Man Zheng to the Lu family of Wu County, they also had some impure motives in their hearts. Because Sun Ce suffered a big loss at the hands of Lu Ren at that time, Sun Ce himself was even injured by Lu Ren. Afterwards, Lu Ren was fine, but Lu Xun was worried that Sun Ce would settle accounts with the Lu clan after returning to Wu, so he brought Old Man Zheng to the Lu clan in Wu County, and also regarded Old Man Zheng as a talisman for the Lu clan. With Old Man Zheng squatting in the Lu clan, Sun Ce at least did not dare to attack the Lu clan on the surface.

But even if there is no such relationship, the Lu clan will not dare to slack off on Old Man Zheng. Earlier, the Lu family wanted to build a mansion or something for Old Man Zheng, but they were all politely declined by Old Man Zheng. In short, it is still the same sentence, the old man Zheng is a real master and a sage hermit.

Lu Ren has also been to Wu County several times since he left Cao Ying, and naturally he has also come to visit Zheng Xuan. And whenever he saw such a residence, Lu Ren would secretly sigh in his heart, sighing that he didn't have the kind of realm that Old Man Zheng had. And when he came here again today, Lu Ren also remembered a few lines of poetry for no reason, so he said smoothly:

"The mountain is not high, but there is a fairy; The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow......"

After only a few words, Lu Ren was stuck, because Lu Ren in the back couldn't remember, so he smiled embarrassedly to himself. But at this time, the laughter of Old Man Zheng came from the bamboo house: "I have never seen Lu Servant shoot poems and write poems, and today it is rare to see them." It's a pity that although the first few sentences are wonderful, there is nothing missing? ”

Lu Ren's face flushed, and he said in his heart that he didn't know where he threw these things he carried when he was a student, and he didn't even remember whether they were in elementary school textbooks or junior high school textbooks. But it didn't seem to be the time to say this at this time, so Lu Ren hurriedly saluted Zheng Xuan, who had already walked to the door of the bamboo house, respectfully: "Old Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Zheng Xuan nodded. invited Lu Ren into the bamboo house. A servant brought fragrant tea, and the two were polite to each other again, and Zheng Xuan asked, "Are you alone?" Why didn't Wen Ji come with you? ”

In the early years, Zheng Xuan had some friendship with Cai Yong, so Cai Yan can be regarded as Zheng Xuan's son and nephew. Moreover, Zheng Xuan admires Cai Yan's talent very much, and also points out Cai Yan in scriptures, so Cai Yan can also be regarded as Zheng Xuan's disciple, and now he will naturally have this question.

Lu Ren said: "Wen Ji has been pregnant for several months, and it is inconvenient to move around, so she can't come, and I hope that Elder Zheng will forgive me." ”

Zheng Xuan was surprised: "Oh? So to speak. The old man is going to congratulate the virtuous couple in advance. ”

Saying that, Zheng Xuan's face flashed a little lonely. Zheng Xuan originally had a baby son, but unfortunately died in the war on the eve of the Battle of Guandu. Now I heard that Lu Ren and Cai Yan already had children, which somewhat reminded Zheng Xuan of his sad past.

Lu Ren has been mixed up for so many years, how can he not understand this? So Lu Ren immediately changed the topic and asked Zheng Xuan: "Old Zheng, you specially left a message for Gongji and called me here, shouldn't it be to tell me about these family things?" If anything, please ask Mr. Zheng to say that it is okay. ”

Zheng Xuan was asked by Lu Ren and retracted his thoughts. After a slight hesitation, he said: "Lu Servant and Old Man Rong will ask you first, is your Yizhou village really a peaceful and undisturbed place?" ”

Lu Ren nodded. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but for the moment and in a few years, his small town of Yizhou can definitely be called an outdoor peach orchard in the current troubled times.

Looking at Zheng Xuan again, he hesitated again. In the end, he opened his mouth with a little helplessness: "It's not a secret, the old man invited Lu Servant to come here, because he wanted to ask Lu Servant to do the old man a favor, so that the old man could move to Yizhou with Lu Servant's fleet." ”

"Huh!?"

Lu Ren was stunned at the time. In fact, when I just got Old Man Zheng out of Yuan Shao. If it weren't for Sun Ce's incident, Lu Ren would have been ready to send Old Man Zheng to Yizhou. But now in the past few years, isn't Old Man Zheng living well here in Wu County?

You must know that Zheng Xuan is a person with many clansmen and disciples. There are even many people who simply follow Zheng Xuan's side. And when Lu Ren rescued Old Man Zheng at the beginning, although it was impossible for Lu Ren to bring all these people, but as time went by, the news that Old Man Zheng was here in Wu County would naturally spread, and these followers of Zheng Xuan came to Wu County in batches and continued to follow Zheng Xuan's side as before.

In other words, not only did Mr. Zheng have no loss after moving away, but his living environment is much more stable than before, and everyone else should be very satisfied, but why did Mr. Zheng suddenly remember to go to Yizhou? At least Lu Ren himself gave up this plan. Because Mr. Zheng is seventy-five years old this year, is it a joke to board the sea ship at that time at this age? If this is if the bones can't withstand the bumps in the sea, or if something happens to Old Man Zheng due to the weather of strong winds and waves, Lu Ren will drown himself by the saliva of the world.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Lu Ren said to Zheng Xuan with great hesitation: "Elder Zheng, you live well here in Wu County, why do you want to move to Yizhou with me?" ”

Zheng Xuan seemed to have expected Lu Ren to ask this question, so he shook his head lightly and said, "Although Wu County is good here, the old man is really annoying. ”

"Overwhelmed?" Lu Ren didn't react at once.

Zheng Xuan sighed: "Lu Servant still remembers when you rescued the old man from Yuan Shao?" ”

Only then did Lu Ren come to his senses and said in surprise: "Won't it?" You mean ......"

Zheng Xuan nodded silently: "The old man is also burdened by false fame." When he first arrived in Wu County, Sun Bofu sent people to invite the old man several times. After Sun Bofu was assassinated, his younger brother Sun Zhongmou wanted to invite the old man to come out of office, and he had come here twice to personally invite the old man to come out, and at the same time he still insisted on the gift of a disciple. Lu Servant, it's good to shirk this kind of thing once or twice, but if it goes on like this, the old man is worried that sooner or later something will cause trouble. ”

Lu Ren put his hand on his forehead, and said in his heart, I have forgotten that these people in power are almost a virtue. Sun Quan personally came to invite Zheng Xuan to come out? Still insisting on the gift of a disciple? Do you want to invite Zheng Xuan to govern the country? But anyone with a clear mind knows that this Nima is at all, okay?

Why did Yuan Shao force Zheng Xuan to come out in the first place? That was to build momentum for his old Yuan; Why did Lu Ren send Zheng Xuan to Wu County instead of Xuchang at that time? Aren't you worried that Cao Cao will do the same thing to Zheng Xuan as Yuan Shao? As for Sun Quan...... In fact, Sun Quan hoped that Old Man Zheng would stand up and help him support the scene more than those two clubs, because Sun Quan had just taken over the Sun regime at that time, and under the unstable situation in Jiangdong, it was too necessary for characters like Zheng Xuan to come out to help those Jiangdong tycoons in Zhenyi Town.

In fact, Lu Ren had considered this problem at the beginning, but one of the Lu clans needed Zheng Xuan to protect himself, and the other was that Lu Ren's ******** at that time was focused on avenging Wan'er, and other things were a little unintentional. Later, seeing that Zheng Xuan didn't seem to have any problems in Wu County, Lu Ren thought that Sun Quan didn't mean that much about Zheng Xuan's affairs, so he left this matter behind, but he didn't expect this incident to happen now......

Zheng Xuan saw that Lu Ren didn't answer for a long time, and after waiting for a while, he asked, "What is the difficulty of Lu Servant?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "It's not difficult, it's just a little troublesome...... Elder Zheng, of course it's okay if you want to take my boat to Yizhou, but you have to go a little bit over and don't leak the slightest bit of news, and I will naturally help you arrange it here. ”

It is said that people become old and fine, how could Zheng Xuan not understand the meaning of Lu Ren's words? If his old man leaves with great fanfare, and he still takes a boat to Yizhou overseas, he is afraid that he will be stopped by those disciples, clansmen, and followers in a few minutes. In case this is dragged back, and then Sun Quan is alarmed, then it is not enough to say that Lu Ren will be hated by Sun Quan here. So Zheng Xuan nodded to Lu Ren in understanding.

Some people may say, you Lu Ren is full, why do you have nothing to do with this trouble? In fact, Lu Ren also has his own little Jiujiu in this matter. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan knew the value of Zheng Xuanzheng's celebrity effect, but would Lu Ren's heart not be clear? Not to mention the distance, as long as Zheng Xuan goes to Yizhou, most of Zheng Xuan's clansmen, disciples, and followers here in Wu County will probably follow him to Yizhou immediately. And what is most lacking in Yizhou at present? It's just that the population is too small!

In addition, such a group of people have corresponding cultural accomplishments and qualities, which is also a defect in the quality of Yizhou's current population. But this is also something that can't be helped, the population that Yizhou has always been able to absorb is basically some illiterate hungry people. Such a population, to put it mildly, can sell their strength, and those who need a certain cultural foundation to be competent are somewhat unexpected.

To put it bluntly, Lu Ren, as a traveler in modern society, knows very well what "science and technology are the primary productive forces", and according to the development blueprint envisioned in Lu Ren's heart, Yizhou must take the golden finger science and technology route in his heart, but if there is no educated person in his hand, then he still has a fart golden finger?

At the very least, these people who followed Zheng Xuan and were already accustomed to reading the Four Books and Five Classics may regard the things that Lu Ren made up as strange tricks, and it may not be realistic to really want to use them on the route of scientific and technological development, but at least they can teach the existing almost illiterate homeless people in Yizhou to read and write, right? You must know that the current initial education problem in Yizhou can really give Lu Ren and Shirley a headache, but those educated scholars are not what Lu Ren can win over at present. Now that there is a Zheng Xuan sent to the door by himself, Lu Ren would be a big fool if he didn't want to...... (To be continued.) )
