Chapter 8 Chapter Eight

The next day, Lu Zhi brought Xiao Chuan to the living room with a happy face. When Lu Gong saw Xiao Chuan coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him. Playing around all day, wasting their studies. Since the old man is well-educated and highly respected, he simply set up a private school to teach these children, so that they can learn books and manners, and it can be regarded as a benefit for the elders of the villagers in Pei County." When Lu Gong was thinking, Lu Zhi ran to Lu Gong's ear and whispered: "Father, with a private school, we can have a long-term plan and don't have to worry about food and clothing."

Mr. Lu also felt that this method was feasible, but on second thought, running a private school was not an easy task, and said, "Your Excellency's words are very good, but it costs a lot of money to open a private school, which...is a bit tricky." Xiao Chuan patted his chest: "As for the money, don't worry about it, old man. I have a way to get everyone to donate a private school to you!" After dressing up in disguise, Xiaochuan pretended to be the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion and came outside the gate of the Lu Mansion. He saw groups of gentry and celebrities waiting outside the door, ready to visit Lu Gong.

Xiao Chuan announced in public: "Mr. Lu has not recovered yet, so I can't see all the distinguished guests. Let me apologize on my behalf. Although still ill, Mr. Lu always thinks about the elders in Peixian County. I heard that there is no good school in Peixian County. He decided to set up a 'Lv's private school', recruiting a large number of children from Pei County, and teaching them personally." Everyone was amazed and discussed a lot. At this time, Lu Zhi, who was disguised as a man, mingled in the crowd and shouted: "That's great, Mr. Lu is so knowledgeable. I will send my son to study with Mr. Lu, and he will be successful in the future!"

Everyone nodded together, expressing their willingness to send their children to Lu Gong's private school.Xiao Chuan saw that everyone was enthusiastic, so he hit the rails while it was hot: "Mr. Lu is calm by nature, and has been closing the door to thank guests. However, in order to prepare for the establishment of a private school, Mr. Lu will hold a banquet on the Double Ninth Festival to raise money. After the Double Ninth Festival, Mr. Lu will not Goodbye guest, concentrate on teaching in the private school." As a "teacher", Lu Zhi immediately responded: "Then it means that we will never see Lu Gong in the future? Then I must not miss the Chongyang banquet, I want to sign up!"

Driven by Lu Zhi, people outside the door came to sign up one after another.Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiao Chuan immediately ordered two servants to unfold a white cloth, and saw a "seating map" drawn on it, which marked the distribution of banquet tables and the location of Mr. Lu's seat.Xiao Chuan continued: "The price of each table is different. The closer you are to Mr. Lu, the higher the price... But everyone, every copper coin raised this time will be used for private schools, for the benefit of Pei County. For the benefit of my children, and will never fall into Lu Gong's own pocket!"

Everyone nodded their heads and praised him, Mr. Lu really had great insight, and he planned for the children of Pei County when he first came to Pei County. In order to make the final agitation, Xiao Chuan resorted to his trump card. He asked his servant to pick out a pair of Spring Festival couplets. The first couplet read "Knowledge changes destiny, education determines life", and the second couplet reads "Famous teachers forge famous schools, charity connects good fate".The horizontal batch is "to build the first key private school in Peixian County with all my heart".Xiao Chuan led all the family members to raise their arms and shouted: "Lu Gong, Lu Gong! Help you succeed!"

In this way, the onlookers began to scramble for seats under Xiaochuan's wave after wave of propaganda. The scene was so hot that Xiaochuan was also deeply moved! When Xiao Chuan sang "Not bad for money" and put a big bag of money in front of Lu Zhi.Lu Zhi couldn't help admiring Xiao Chuan, and his admiration for Xiao Chuan increased even more in his heart. He praised: "Young master is so smart, where did you come up with such a wonderful idea! Pheasant really admires him!" "I was inspired by a charity fundraising banquet!" Ogawa said casually. "Charity fundraising banquet?" Lu Zhi was baffled by Xiao Chuan's new words.

Xiao Chuan hurriedly said: "Oh, it's almost the same as ours. However, we still have a lot of expensive seats that have not been sold. We need to find a 'concept' to 'hype' it!" "Hype?" This is a new term for Lu Zhi. Xiao Chuan explained: "It is to create a gimmick and spread it, so that everyone will believe it is true and come to grab this ticket." "What's a gimmick?" It's still a new word! "Generally speaking, it's beauties, scandals about celebrities, rumors about who is marrying whom, etc." Lu Zhi is such a smart person, he rolled his eyes, thought about his heart, and said with a smile: "Pheet learned a lot from Mr. today, and I have a plan in my mind, leave these seats to me!"

Lu Pheasant once again disguised herself as a man, walked into the restaurant, and spread a very tempting news: this time Lu Gong had another important intention for the Double Ninth Banquet. Lu Gong wanted to recruit a son-in-law for his beautiful daughter!The closer you sit to Lu Gong at the banquet, the greater the chance of being appreciated by Lu Gong. The lace news immediately spread throughout Peixian County, and the troublemakers quietly lurked at the gate of Lu's mansion, waiting to see the faces of the Lu sisters.For a while, there were crowds of people outside Lu's residence, small merchants and hawkers gathered, and even Fan Kuai's dog meat stall moved over.

On this day, Lu Zhi took out the opportunity of going out to worship God, took out all his best clothes and jewelry, dressed up Lu Su, and then went out with Lu Su. Those who had been waiting outside the gate of Lu's mansion were finally feasting their eyes: this pair of sisters looked like heavenly beings, and they also had the temperament of a lady of a great family and the delicacy of Xiaojiabiyu.Ever since, the crowd moved with the sisters' carriage.For a while, wherever the Lu sisters went, there were crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, and everyone was salivating. Among this group of slobbers, there is also the "famous" Mr. Liu, who was so fascinated by Lu Zhi, he exclaimed: "My sister is the one who is so charming, she is my Mrs. Liu's wife!" ——He thought he was special, but in fact, 80% of the men in Pei County thought so at this time.

Ever since, men from the age of seventeen to seventy were mobilized to grab those expensive seats one after another.All of a sudden, the business of "Housekeeper" Xiao Chuan exploded. Seeing people in their 70s come to buy seats, Xiao Chuan cursed in his heart, old pervert.But Lu Zhi didn't care, and collected the money while smiling.Xiao Chuan joked: "Isn't this too old for you two sisters?" Lu Zhi didn't take it seriously: "This is what you call 'hype', why take it seriously, no one said that we really want to choose a son-in-law at the banquet, it's just his wishful thinking." "Hey, that's the same reason. I didn't expect that you two sisters are so lethal, young and old can take it all." "The pheasant did everything according to what you said. I just integrated beauties, gossips, and marriages into one." Lu Zhi smiled. Xiao Chuan raised two thumbs up: "It's true that blue comes from blue and is better than blue." Just as he was talking, a group of red-eyed male compatriots came to sign up again. Xiao Chuan thought to himself: "This is almost catching up with buying funds and stocks in 2007! Buy it, speculate, it's all a bubble." In other words, it was the day of the Double Ninth Festival, and there was a constant stream of traffic at the gate of the Lu Mansion. All the respectable people from Pei County came, and there were quite a few people watching the excitement.It took a lot of effort for the servants of the Lu family to block many people who wanted to sneak in. In the courtyard of Lu Mansion, there were no empty seats.The table closest to the main seat is occupied by the most important guests. These people have spent a lot of money to sit in their current seats. Lu Pheasant and Lu Gong hid behind the door of the main room, observing these guests, and they discussed who was more suitable for Lu Su. Originally, Lu Gong was extremely opposed to the gimmick of choosing a son-in-law, thinking that such an approach would be degrading.However, Lu Zhi believed that Lu Su's marriage to a local wealthy family would not only ensure her own food and clothing in the future, but also protect the Lu family's status in Pei County.When Lu Gong heard it, the eldest daughter was right, so he acquiesced in Lu Zhi's approach. When the auspicious time came, Mr. Lu tidied up his clothes and walked slowly into the courtyard. Everyone immediately stood up to greet him.After the guest and host greeted each other for a while, the banquet began. All the guests present tried their best to please Lu Gong. The old man who was over seventy years old was not to be outdone. The walnuts, just unfortunately, the walnuts were not cracked in the end, but the gums immediately bled profusely.Seeing that something was wrong, the servant of the Lu family quickly took the old man to see a doctor. Outside the gate of Lu's Mansion, Third Master Liu also arrived. He looked defiant and was about to walk into Lu's Mansion.The Lu family servant immediately pushed and pulled, pushed the door out, and cursed: "Is this the place you can enter!" Mr. Liu was helpless, but he was unwilling to leave, so he borrowed three large sums of money from Fan Kui who set up a stall with a shy face, and gave them to the servants as bribes.Unexpectedly, the servant not only refused to buy it, but also ridiculed Mr. Liu and threw the money on the ground. Third Master Liu scolded angrily: "Evil slave, you really look down on people!" The frolicking children surrounded Mr. Liu again and sang in unison: "Mr. Liu, you're a third-rate man, the toad wants to eat swan meat!" When Liu Sanye saw the children, he suddenly thought about it. At the banquet, the guests were toasting and changing glasses, when suddenly there was a shout outside the door: "Congratulations to Qianwan! Congratulations to Qianwan! Congratulations to Qianwan!" Lu Gong and the guests were all taken aback, stopped and looked at each other.The voice of "He Qianwan" continued to come from outside the door. Xiao Chuan wondered: "Which god is this coming to play!" Xiao Chuan walked out of the gate, and saw a group of children standing across the street shouting in unison, and behind the children was the old ghost Liu Sanye.He was commanding the children to shout triumphantly at this time.It turned out that he bought some sweets for three big coins, and made the children shout for him as a reward. The servant of the Lu family was about to beat him up, but Xiao Chuan hurriedly stopped him, walked up to Mr. Liu and said, "Isn't this Mr. Liu from the dog meat stall? It's a pleasure to meet you. If Mr. Liu is here to eat, I will accept it." According to the wishes of the Lu family, hurry up and go elsewhere." Xiaochuan took out a bunch of money and handed it to Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu laughed loudly and said, "I, Liu Bang, am here for this bunch of money, I am here for Miss Lu!" When the servant of the Lu family heard that the beggar threatened to marry his own lady, he rushed up to argue with him, but Xiao Chuan stopped them, and politely asked Mr. Liu for advice: "My lord, may I ask your name!" Third Master Liu put his hands behind his back, raised his head and held his chest high: "I don't change my name when I go, and I don't change my surname when I sit, so does Liu Bang!" Xiao Chuan's eyes were so wide that he was about to fall off. He circled Liu Bang again and again until Liu Bang became dizzy. "You, what are you doing?" Xiao Chuan blurted out: "Could it be...Could it be that you are Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty?!" Liu Bang was stunned for a moment: Han Gaozu... this name is not bad, Han Gaozu, Han Gaozu... Xiao Chuan wakes up in a dream, yes, how does he know his future now!Hehe, this trip is really not bad. I swore to Xiang Yu and met Liu Bang again. If I can still see Qin Shihuang, I will live together! Xiao Chuan immediately gave Liu Bang a deep salute: "I don't know Taishan, sir, forgive me! Come with me!" Xiao Chuan pulled Liu Bang and ran towards the gate, but now Liu Bang was taken aback, and the servants of Lu's family and the people watching the excitement around were also stunned. Xiao Chuan dragged Liu Bang to the courtyard, only to see Liu Bang in civilian clothes under the courtyard full of fine clothes.Under the contemptuous eyes of everyone, Liu Bang walked into the courtyard with his head held high. A guest recognized him and blurted out: "This man is the third Liu who cheated on food and drink!" As soon as these words came out, there was a thousand responses at the meeting. "It's that cowhide basket!" "That's right, it's him, this man is so poor that he's too lazy to work!"... What was supposed to be a lively banquet suddenly turned into a meeting to criticize Liu Bang. Faced with such accusations, no matter how good the psychological quality is, I am afraid that people will collapse.But Liu Bang just didn't care, looking contented. Lu Zhi, who had been watching secretly in the main room, was already so angry that his eyebrows stood on end, and he disrupted a feast carefully planned by himself and Xiao Chuan. Under the eyes of everyone, Xiao Chuan brought Liu Bang to Lu Gong.Liu Bang respectfully saluted: "Liu Bang, the chief of the pavilion in Sishui, pays his respects to Lu Gong!" Lu Gong looked at Liu Bang for a long time, and asked, "You are the one calling for congratulations to Qian Wan?" A rich man joked, "I don't have ten thousand dollars, but I do have ten thousand lice!" Everyone roared with laughter, but Liu Bang was not ashamed, and said, "Now you laugh at me, but you will come to beg me in the future." Everyone laughed harder, but Mr. Lu praised Liu Bang a little more. Xiao Chuan whispered to Mr. Lu: "This man will become a great event in the future!" Mr. Lu frowned lightly, and immediately asked someone to add a seat beside him , kindly asked Liu Bang to sit beside him. All the guests were taken aback, and they discussed one after another, what is the background of this Liu Bang, and how could he be treated so favorably by Duke Lu? Lu Zhi, who saw all this, was also very surprised, and couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of character is this?" On this day of Double Ninth Festival, people in Lu's residence were crowded, and strange things happened again and again. There are also people coming and going in the exhibition hall of the research institute, and a special exhibition of cultural relics is being held.To say it is special does not mean that the exhibits are special, but the purpose hidden behind it. Okawa and Gao Lan curated this exhibition, and the treasure box is also one of the exhibits.They believe that the group of people who robbed the treasure box must be related to the disappearance of Xiao Chuan and Gao Yao.If the treasure box can lure those people out, they will have a chance to find Xiao Chuan and Gao Yao.This is "leading the snake out of the hole". At this moment, Da Chuan wandered around the exhibition hall wearing earphones, secretly observing the visitors, while Yi Mama and Gao Lan commanded and dispatched through the monitor in the monitoring room. This was Okawa's first time as an agent, and he was so nervous that he was sweating all over. The more he pretended to be casual, the more rigid his actions became, and the more exaggerated he appeared.The audience saw him walk around far away. Gao Lan watched his performance in the monitoring room and laughed so hard.Mother Yi suddenly ordered Da Chuan to keep an eye on a young woman.Da Chuan hurried over to take a look. This woman is very beautiful and has a great temperament, she doesn't look like a bad person, but since his mother asked him to pay attention, then she must be suspicious.Da Chuan quietly leaned over and stared at the other party. Unfortunately, Da Chuan's acting skills were so poor that he soon met the other party's eyes. So, the woman played hide-and-seek with Okawa.Da Chuan is good at studying ancient corpses, but he is basically a noob when dealing with living people, so he lost it after three or two attempts.Thanks to Mother Yi's remote command, Da Chuan chased after her and finally blocked her in a corner. Okawa reported to his mother through the microphone: "Mom, she has nowhere to escape, give me reinforcements!" "Stupid boy, what is it called reinforcements! My mother thinks this girl is very nice!...It is rare to have a girl who is beautiful and likes cultural relics. You should seize the opportunity to chat with her, maybe she will fall in love with you... " Gao Lan quickly grabbed the microphone: "Auntie, this is a public frequency band, and all staff can hear it!" Okawa was so angry that he almost vomited blood, this time he lost his life!
