Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116 Let me help you replace the furniture
Early the next morning, Liu Hexian waited in the library of the government office. Guan Yu and Zhang Liao had already discussed the art of war here. While everyone was chatting, Zhang Fei and the others also arrived one after another, waiting for Lu Zhi.

Because the eight of them had to go to Lu's house to listen to lectures after practicing martial arts every day, and there were many disturbances, Liu He suggested that Lu Zhi go to the Fuya Library to give lectures, so that the space would be larger and it would be more convenient for each other.

Every day starts from Chenshi to give lectures for one and a half hours, and occasionally Cheng Pu, Xu Rong and others will also study together. In addition to the scriptures, Lu Zhi spends half an hour teaching the art of war.

After getting along closely, Lu Zhi became more and more shocked by the strength of these few people. He couldn't figure out how Liu He recruited so many warriors in just half a year, and he already trained them as the future pillars of the great man.

With the dimness of the court and the chaos everywhere, how could Lu Zhi not see that troubled times are coming?
He was already powerless to change all of this, so he pinned his hopes on these younger generations. For the affairs of the country, Lu Zhi would never hide his personal interests, and would give everything to others.

Among these few people, Zhang Liao is steady and Zhang Yun is capable, and they are all talents that can be cultivated.

However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's personalities are too prominent, one is arrogant and the other is irritable.

Zhang Fei is well aware of his shortcomings, so he often practices calligraphy to refresh his mind. Now Lu Zhi personally teaches him to study scriptures and classics with an open mind, which is a good influence for him.

Guan Yu is different. He was born in the Jianghu and has an arrogant temperament. Although he likes to read "Spring and Autumn", he only comprehends it by himself. In Liu He's view, he is actually Ye Luzi, who may not have comprehended the essence of the Spring and Autumn Annals.

Liu He believed that Guan Yu's arrogance came from his self-confidence, but this self-confidence evolved into conceit as his status improved.

If you overestimate yourself, you will look down on others, especially after the Seventh Army was flooded, Megatron China, thinking that the world is invincible, too much, and eventually become a fatal flaw, so that you will be self-willed, go your own way, and make a big mistake.

There are countless such people in history. Heroes such as Pang Juan, Li Xin, and Fu Jian were all ruined. Guan Yu's arrogance led to the fall of Jingzhou and the collapse of the Shu Han, which has been criticized by later generations.

As a general in command of the three armies, self-confidence is indispensable, but if self-confidence is inflated to arrogance, it is not an advantage, but a disadvantage.

Nowadays, Guan Yu owns the entire Spring and Autumn Classics, and has great scholars like Lu Zhi to explain and give guidance. He is obsessed with it all day long. In addition to performing martial arts and listening to lectures, he also studies the classics, often forgetting to sleep and eat.

Liu He and Lu Zhi chatted several times in private, especially explaining the shortcomings of the two people's personalities, and asked Lu Zhi to teach and train them intentionally, so as to polish their minds.

While the few people were chatting, Lu Zhi, Lu Jun and his son also arrived. Except for the ten-day break before and after the Chinese New Year, the time for daily lectures was almost unshakable.

Everyone stepped forward to salute, Lu Zhi saw that Liu He was also there, and said with a smile, "Boxing's wedding is coming soon, why don't you come here if you don't prepare for the wedding?"

Liu Heyan said: "I'm here just for this matter, I want to buy some new furniture for the two families, so I'm here to tell Uncle Shi."

Lu Zhi didn't know Liu He's idea, he waved his hands and smiled, "Look at Lu Feng for such trivial matters, and the old man doesn't care about everything."

Lu Jun also smiled and said: "From now on, we will be a family. If the Lord needs anything, just ask Lu Feng to do it."

Liu He was overjoyed in his heart, and said goodbye quietly. When he returned to his residence, Gao Cheng had already found five people waiting for him. Liu He told them to act according to his face later, and then he came to the government office to meet some merchants.

Those people were waiting anxiously. As expected, they were still the same people as yesterday. They didn't want others to take advantage of such a good thing. When they saw Liu He bringing a few more people, they immediately cast hostile glances.

After discussing with everyone about the purchase of the Lu family's furniture, Gao Wang also came in from the outside and whispered a few words to Gao Cheng, who then reported, "My lord, Madam Lu and the young lady just went out and went to Magu Temple. "

Liu He stood up and waved boldly to everyone: "Let's go!"

A group of people happily followed Liu He to Lu's house. If it was normal, they would not even be eligible to enter the gate of Lu's house, let alone get things from Lu's house.

Although everything is kept simple, lights and festoons have been decorated inside and outside the gate of Lu's house. Red lanterns and red silk cloth are hung all over the corridors, creating a festive atmosphere.

The housekeeper, Lu Feng, was setting things up with the maidservants of Zhang Luo's family. He saw a group of people rushing in at the door, and was about to scold them.

"Uncle... Junhou, you came at a bad time, Madam just left the house..."

"I know... oh no, I'll take a look," Liu He said with a smile, "I'm here to see how the wedding preparations are going. I just met Shibo at the government office and came to help buy some furniture."

Lu Feng was taken aback, and quickly bowed and said: "How dare you ask the Lord himself to ask such trivial matters? You just give orders, and send someone to do it."

Liu He looked around in the courtyard and said, "It's mainly the desks in the living room and study, take me to have a look!"

Lu Feng didn't dare to be negligent, so he personally took Liu He to the living room and Lu Zhi's study room. When he came back, Liu He held a ruler and a bamboo slip-carved pen in his hand, which looked a little old.

Under the blank and expectant eyes of Lu Feng and several shopkeepers, Liu He raised the ruler and said, "This is the ruler that Lord Lu taught back then. The bid is three thousand yuan, and the highest bidder wins!"

Immediately someone shouted: "I pay four thousand!"

"Hmph, is the ruler that Lu Gong personally used for teaching worth such a small amount?" Filled with righteous indignation, shopkeeper Wang stepped forward and said loudly, "I will pay ten thousand."

"I pay fifteen thousand!"

"I...twenty thousand!"

Shopkeeper Wang was furious, and turned his head to stare fiercely at the merchant brought by Liu He. This is something from Zhuoxian people, and his own people don't have enough, so how can they let outsiders buy it?

His face was flushed, veins popped out on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll pay you [-]!"

This roar made everyone else shut up. That ruler is certainly precious, but [-] yuan is not something ordinary people can afford, and the yard fell silent for a while.

"For [-] yuan, is there anyone going to raise the price?" Liu He shook his ruler, smiling so that his teeth gleamed in the morning sun, "No one raised the price, but it's Shopkeeper Wang's."

Shopkeeper Wang was so anxious that he rubbed his hands and stamped his feet, fine sweat broke out on his forehead, he wished he could come over and snatch the ruler away.

After waiting for a while and still no one spoke, Liu He smacked his lips with insatiable desire, handed the ruler to Shopkeeper Wang, nodded and smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Wang family for having another heirloom."

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Shopkeeper Wang quickly took it with both hands. He couldn't help but his hands were shaking, and he almost cried with excitement.

When the other people heard the word "heirloom", they suddenly felt a little regretful. If they had persisted just now, this item might have belonged to them.

Lu Feng was completely dumbfounded. A handful of broken bamboo pieces that had been dusted on the window sill of the study for a long time were usually used to close the windows. How could they be sold for [-] yuan?
