Chapter 330: Breaking the Siege
Wei State's overtures were expected, after all, Wei State had already bordered Lu Zhe's side after transferring to Xincai, so should it be stupid and arrogant not to express respect?
You must know that even if Lu Zhe is a person who has just risen and has no family background, no matter how Lu Zhe says it, he is a figure with hundreds of thousands of people under the command of the five counties, how dare Wei State be offended now, and it is too late to curry favor.
Zhang Liang also prepared a gift list, and the gift was also engraved with a jade plate. He waved his sleeves and saluted, and then took out the gift slip and read it, in fact, it was also some beaded jade or something, and Mei Ji also had ten.
Nowadays, it is necessary to have pearls, jade, agate, and jade for princes, which are the necessities to show their status. Giving gifts to a prince without those necessities would be regarded as a denial or contempt for one's status, and at least it would be evil, and if it was strict, it would cause the two forces to fight.
However, Lu Zhe's cultural background is indeed insufficient, and he should be thanked, but he didn't understand those necessary etiquette.
"Two envoys, please be seated."
Lu Zhe, who is dressed in a military uniform, has no long sleeves to pose, so he can't talk about grace and chic. After he finished speaking, he put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and strode towards the main seat, waiting for him to sit down, Zhang Liang and Wei Bao walked to the soft couch on the right and knelt down on their knees, while Yan Pi and the other four walked to the left and stood.
Kuaitong, who was standing on the left, looked at the place where Zhang Liang and Wei Bao had just talked, there were two pots of untouched wine and bottles on the table, and some sliced meat on the copper plate had not been moved. He frowned and looked left and right, only the armor soldiers were seen outside the hall, and they were inside, which was very wrong.
Wine and meat were used for hospitality, but there were no servants or maids to be seen, and the envoys of other countries were supposed to be replaced with boiled tea after the arrival of their masters, and no one had come to change them until now.
"Our subordinates were negligent." Kuaitong apologized to Zhang Liang and Wei Bao.
Zhang Liang returned the salute: "The place where the prince rests for a while is understandable. ”
"......" Wei Bao didn't understand what he was talking about. Hehe smiled and coped with the past.
Lu Zhe didn't know what etiquette was needed, but it didn't mean that he didn't have intelligence, and he immediately reacted that there was a lack of etiquette in hospitality.
Jun and Hou are two different things. Jun is a feudal monarch, a kind of knighthood with a special identity or a great contribution and reputation during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; The evolution of Hou is now not a general reference to the princes of various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, but now it is generally a pavilion marquis, a county marquis, and a county marquis is a no-see. Taken together, the princes are used to address people as a kind of honorific title for the feudal figures.
To be honest, even if Lu Zhe didn't care so much about etiquette, he felt a little hot now. He felt that he should quickly improve the rules of etiquette, not for enjoyment. It's that there is no proper etiquette on some occasions, which is really out of place.
It is conceivable that in the future there will be more places where etiquette needs to be used, and if there is a lack of etiquette at that time, not only will it be laughed at, but some things that should seem solemn will also become nondescript.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhe glanced at the four subordinates present, he didn't think that the four of them had the corresponding background to do this, and it seemed that there were no corresponding talents under his rule, so it seemed that he still had to recruit again.
The current ceremonial officer doesn't mean that you can find it by recruitment. Especially for people of Lu Zhe's class, the ceremonial officials required are generally from the imperial palace to understand the supporting knowledge. Speaking of which, when Great Qin bestowed the title, he was supposed to send a ceremonial officer and reward the corresponding servants, but it was obvious that none of these people appeared.
Yan Bi was about to go out to remedy it, when the sound of Suosuo's footsteps came faintly. He turned his head to look out, and a group of women in green dresses were bowing down the door with various utensils and utensils.
The long skirts worn by the ladies are cylindrical, slender and concave and convex, and their hair is devoid of any ornaments. It's just a simple and middle-parted style, and when you bow down, your hair is like a waterfall pouring to the ground.
Lu Zhe looked at the four people on the left and found that they were all surprised. Well, that means the girls weren't out of their arrangement. He was surprised, but he saw Lu Pheasant's figure swaying outside.
Lu Pheasant was wearing a long black pleated skirt with a wide red belt around her waist, a multi-layered jade board hanging down on each side, and her hair was coiled into a fallen bun.
Nowadays, black is precious, and red is even more precious, and Emperor Daqin's crown dress is also this hue. Coupled with the jade plate hanging pendant with the skirt pressed, Lu Pheasant's outfit is clearly the style of the noble girl of Daqin.
The hairpin with the fallen horse bun Lu Zhe is also a little familiar? It seems to be Zhao Wan's beloved jewelry?
"Let's go inside." Lu Pheasant looked a little dignified today, she took the lead in the first step, and then the maids followed in small steps.
Kuaitong and Yan Bi looked at each other for a while, and they looked at Lu Zhe on the main seat.
Lu Zhe had already guessed that this was Zhao Wan's arrangement, not Lu Pheasant's handiwork. Lu Pheasant was born in a small rich family, and it is no secret that his upbringing is limited, but Zhao Wan is from a high family, and only after a good education will she know what kind of guests to entertain and what kind of utensils and utensils should be prepared.
After Lu Pheasant came in, he just bowed down to make a blessing, but the group of maids knelt down again in unison.
"It's the girl the Lord found from Pei County, right?" Standing next to Xiao He, he asked quietly.
Xiao He nodded, he was also quite surprised that Lu Pheasant had done such a show.
"It seems...... Zhao Wan and Lu Pheasant and other women have always been in Jingling? Lu Zhe remembered very well that when he went out to fight, he took the waterway, so he left them in Jingling, and did not bring them back to Nanling when he returned to the army, he originally thought that he would send someone back to pick them up in a few days, and Lu Pheasant appeared here, and Zhao Wan estimated that he also returned.
After the salute, Lu Pheasant instructed the maids to place the utensils in a decent manner, and introduced the origin of those utensils to people in a tired voice, and some fruit bowls such as flowers and fruits were also introduced one by one.
Seeing that scene, Lu Zhe slowly stood up, he should have also come to meet Zhang Liang and Wei Bao, and he didn't have to wait long after greetings, so he walked towards the door with a few polite words.
When the monarch left, the hospitality was handed over to Kuaitong and others.
"Lu Hou's hospitality is quite special." Wei Bao was talking about all kinds of utensils and maids who came late.
Zhang Liang knew Lu Pheasant, knew that Lu Pheasant was found by Lu Zhe from Zhongyangli in Pei County, Surabaya, and also knew that Lu Pheasant was born in a small rich family, and Lu Pheasant's identity was clearly the dress of a noble daughter of the Great Qin, and thought: "It's not a special hospitality, it should be a temporary remedy." ”
Lu Zhe left the reception hall and didn't leave in a hurry, if he thought correctly, it wouldn't take long for Lu Pheasant to follow.
This mansion is not the work of Lu Zhe himself, and since the unanimous opposition to what apartment buildings to build, he has let go of his mind about building modern buildings in the present.
The ancients had their own aesthetics, and the nobles were accustomed to the deep pattern of the courtyard, and the place where Qianshou liked to live could open a vegetable garden. In addition, people of different clans do not want to live together at all, and it is indeed not in line with today's social environment for them to live in apartment buildings.
The so-called deep courtyard does not refer to a large number of buildings, but a kind of pursuit of the garden, rich and no garden is not called real wealth, there is a garden without rare and exotic grass is not called a rich house, if the princes and nobles do not have a garden that can be said, the status will immediately decline a lot.
In the past, Lu Zhe originally thought that it was just the Song people who had a paranoid pursuit of the garden, but later learned that since the Zhou Dynasty, anyone with a little condition will use the environment of the garden to cultivate sentiments, which is a necessary place for meditation, encounters, and so on.
The gardens of the north and south will have their own personality. Northland is basically dominated by manors, more like a kind of horse hunting ground; In the south, there must be water in a garden, and "water" is beautiful.
Not long after, a jade sound of "jingling bells" really came from behind, and when Lu Zhe turned to look, he saw Lu Pheasant's face flushed with excitement.
The bottom of Lu Pheasant's skirt was relatively narrow, and she was destined to not be able to take a big step when she walked, and the smile on her face became sweeter when she saw Lu Zhe standing not far away.
Women wear tight long skirts and step on small broken steps as long as they are slender will have a sense of beauty, and some women will give full play to the advantages of their figures, and will try their best to stabilize their upper body and swing their hips when stepping on small broken steps, giving people a more stimulating sense of vision.
"Who will send you back?" Lu Zhe put his hand on the wooden beam of the corridor, and his body was slightly oblique.
Lu Pheasant didn't think that she would get such a question when she met Lu Zhe again, she saw that Lu Zhe just glanced at herself a few times and then turned her eyes to the pavilion in the distance, and thought to herself: "Anyone says that I am very beautiful in this body, can't Lu Hou see it?" But he didn't say anything coquettishly, and replied: "It's Sister Wan who asked for the stationed officer." ”
"Garrison officer?" Lu Zhe was also relieved, when he left them in Jingling, in order to protect their safety, he changed the garrison officer to Wei Han, and also told Wei Han that if they had something to ask for, they would try to meet it.
Lu Zhe asked again: "How do you know that I am meeting guests?" ”
Lu Pheasant didn't know that Lu Zhe was not a child-like character, but he felt that the two questions he asked were very strange. She actually didn't know where Zhao Wan got the news from.
Lu Zhe asked those who were all particular, he didn't particularly explain any sense of secrecy, but he didn't allow his movements to be spread out at will.
"My sister didn't say, and the pheasant didn't ask." If Lu Pheasant didn't find any abnormalities again, she would be sluggish, she lowered her head: "No...... Nothing happened, and the pheasant retreated. She caught up with Lu Zhe because she wanted to seize the opportunity to be alone with Lu Zhe, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
Lu Zhe also felt that he was making a bit of a fuss, they were all well-intentioned no matter what, if there was no such thing as this later, today in front of Zhang Liang and Wei Bao, Nanjun's face would have been completely lost.
"What garden do you live in?" Lu Zhe slowed down his tone, and a smile appeared on his face.
"No, I didn't enter the mansion, I found a place outside." Lu Pheasant looked in a depressed mood.
"Outside?" Lu Zhe thought for a moment: "Just settle down." ”
Lu Pheasant was pretending to be aggrieved just now, just to arouse Lu Zhe's pity, and when he heard the latter sentence, he was really depressed. (To be continued......)
