Chapter 9 2. To be appreciated, Liu Bang married a beautiful wife

Liu Bang's muddle-headed youth passed in this way, and the legend of the real dragon's reincarnation was still circulating, but the earth-shattering event never happened.But Liu Bang was discovered by a pair of wise eyes, and because of this, he married a gentle and virtuous wife with a lot of dowry. This matter starts with Lu Gong, a rich man in Shanfu County. Lu Gong owns a hundred acres of fertile land and hundreds of servants.Lu Gong offended someone in Shanfu County because of one incident and formed a hatred. He felt that staying any longer might be detrimental to his family, so he decided to move to Pei County.The county magistrate of Pei County has a deep friendship with Lu Gong. Lu Gong believes that the old friend is a parent official, and he will naturally take care of him after he goes.

Lu Gong moved to Pei County, and the happiest thing was the county magistrate of Pei County.One is because Lu Gong is his old friend, and the other is because the Lu family is very rich and has befriended many knights in the rivers and lakes. He is a very influential and charismatic person. Why not do it for the money? As soon as Lu Gong arrived in Pei County, word spread in the county: "It is said that he is a good friend of the county magistrate..." "It seems to be very rich..." Many people who want to find opportunities to curry favor with the county magistrate seem to have a dog's nose After smelling it, they wanted to please the county magistrate by making friends with Mr. Lu, but the threshold of Mr. Lu's family was quite high, and these people couldn't find a good reason to approach Mr. Lu.

The county magistrate considered that Mr. Lu was not a simple person and must be introduced to the officials and wealthy people in the county, so he ordered to organize a welcome banquet as quickly as possible. At that time, it was Xiao He who was in charge of the reception of the guests in Pei County, and it was rare for a small place like Pei County to have such a large-scale banquet.The number of guests that came at that time was completely beyond Xiao He's expectation, the arriving carriages and horses were crowded outside the door, the room was full, and the visitors stood in the yard, there were guests everywhere, Xiao He was so busy that he was sweating profusely.

Liu Bang heard that a distinguished guest came to the county, and everyone was busy making friends, so he was also very interested.What Liu Bang was interested in was not Lu Gong, but the sumptuous banquet.But with Liu Bang's identity and family background, he has no chance to attend such a banquet.Because of this, Liu Bang became more interested: "I just want to see if I can get in..." Liu Bang has a childlike innocence, but also has a rascal spirit. People in Peixian County know it well and don't care about him, so he is even more daring. As Liu Bang was walking, he was thinking about the origin of this "guest". He happened to meet an official in the county, and hurriedly stopped him and asked where he was going.Liu Bang followed behind with a smile and said, "I'll also go to meet this distinguished guest for a while." Frowning, he thought of a plan.

Perhaps there is no strategy to talk about, after all, Liu Bang has such a style of acting, he always has a way to do what others can't, because he has the courage that others don't have... Liu Bang came to the county magistrate's mansion and saw that there were a lot of guests. Everyone brought gift money, one thousand, five hundred, two hundred.Liu Bang thought to himself, everyone is so rich!He is a small pavilion chief in Surabaya, he likes to drink and make friends, of course he doesn't have any savings, and he can't spend that much money, even if he has money, he would rather buy wine with a bunch of buddies.Liu Bang was thinking about the good wine prepared by Lu Gong, and his heart was itchy. He didn't care whether he had money or not, so he walked in ostentatiously.Everyone often sees Liu Bang in various social occasions in Pei County, so it is not surprising to see him at this time.

At that time, Xiao He saw that there were too many guests and it was difficult to arrange, so he announced a rule: Anyone with a gift of less than 1,000 yuan will be seated in the hall. Liu Bang went straight to Xiao He, and said with a smile, "Liu Bang congratulates Qian Wan." When Xiao He saw him, he knew that he was here to drink again, so of course he didn't expose it.Xiao He said: "Are you here on this occasion?" Of course, he didn't mean to belittle Liu Bang, but he just thought it was a bit strange, and said jokingly: "You brought gifts too?" Liu Bang kept smiling and said : "Congratulations Qianwan, how is it?" When the people around heard this number, they began to whisper: "How much is Congratulations?" "Ten thousand yuan!" "Good guy..."

Liu Bang was very proud all of a sudden, and Xiao He had nothing to do with him, so he said quietly: "Hurry up and find a seat." Liu Bang laughed, and shouted: "Liu Bang, congratulations to Qianwan!" Stride to the hall.Ten thousand dollars is not a small amount. At that time, the person who congratulated the most was only one thousand dollars. What a hero to be able to get 10,000 dollars!So everyone looked sideways and gave way.Liu Bang's cry finally alarmed the master Lu Gong. At this time, Lu Gong was chatting with the county magistrate, and he was very happy to see that the people in Pei County were very respectful to him.He was very surprised to hear someone congratulating Qian Wan suddenly, and hurried out to greet him.When Xiao He saw Lu Gong went out to greet him in person, he knew that the joke was too big this time, and he was afraid that it would hurt his friend, so he hurriedly said to Lu Gong: "He was just joking..."

Lu Gong didn't care about what Xiao He said at all, when he saw Liu Bang, he felt that Liu Bang was majestic and different, and he was a little surprised.Lu Gong thought to himself, no matter whether he can really come up with 10,000 yuan, he is not a simple person who can say such a thing.Lu Gong also likes to make friends with strange people and strangers, and he likes to show people when he is free. Today, seeing Liu Bang is really extraordinary.The theory of looking at physiognomy seems to have no basis today, but it probably had the effect of "psychological suggestion" at that time.

Lu Gong immediately sent someone to greet Liu Bang and let him take the seat.Liu Bang thought to himself, he is coming anyway, so why not have a good drink!Lu Gong toasted, and Liu Bang never refused to come. He was so drunk that he began to joke with the distinguished guests present by using the strength of the wine. "Father Li, your little concubine is really handsome. You are over 60 years old, so you are really blessed!" Li Xiangshen usually has a very good face, and he is afraid that others will say that he is 60 years old. Hearing that Liu Bang exposed his background all of a sudden, his face flushed all of a sudden, and he walked away in a huff.Liu Bang said that Li Xiangshen was gone, and he climbed up to the county magistrate's shoulders without any scruples: "Master County Magistrate, long time no see..." The county magistrate also knew Liu Bang's character on weekdays, and he was called the number one rascal in Pei County. I don't care about him, I just blame my old friend Lu Gong in my heart, how can I let such a drunkard and rascal sit in the top seat?Can't help frowning.However, at this time, Lu Gong seemed to have forgotten his mind, and kept staring at Liu Bang, and from time to time he stroked his long beard and smiled.

The lights were dimmed, and many guests had already left.Seeing that Liu Bang was in such a miserable state, Xiao He felt sorry for Lu Gong, and said to Lu Gong: "I will take my friend away quickly..." Lu Gong said quickly: "No need, please go and send a message to his family, just say Liu Bang Stay in the house and go to bed." After Xiao He heard this, he couldn't figure out why Lu Gong looked at Liu Bang differently, but he also vaguely felt that there was some truth, Liu Bang was a magical person in the first place. Liu Bang was drunk and blindfolded, as if he saw a woman in red come in and serve him tea.When he woke up in the middle of the night, he really couldn't remember where he slept. He only felt that the bedding was gorgeous and soft, and the furniture and utensils in the room were very delicate. Liu Bang thought to himself: "Could it be that he came to Anle Township in his dream?" He turned over and fell asleep again.

Waking up in the morning with a clear mind, he remembered that he had eaten free food and drinks last night, and teased someone he usually hated, so he drank more when he was happy, but he didn't expect to get drunk at Lu Gong's house.While meditating, Lu Gong came in and asked kindly. Liu Bang felt that although Lu Gong was rich and powerful, he had no place to be controlled by him, so he behaved very generously.Lu Gong has seen countless people, and always feels that some people are missing something, and he likes Liu Bang very much when he sees him.The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lu Gong said bluntly: "I feel very lucky. I can meet a hero like you when I come to Pei County. I have a daughter who has not yet left the cabinet. If you don't dislike it, how about marrying you as a wife?" When Liu Bang heard this, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth, but Liu Bang came to his senses immediately, and he hurriedly said: "I, Liu Bang, have passed my thirties and have nothing. How can I climb high?" Mr. Lu quickly explained: "With your courage, you will surely make great achievements in the future..." Liu Bang calmed down, and heard that Lu Gong really admired him, and he didn't have any bad intentions. He was complacent, but he kept evading it.When Lu Gong saw Liu Bang like this, he ordered his maid to call for his daughter. Liu Bang was overjoyed when he saw that the young girl was still pretty.Now I thanked Mr. Lu and said that I would go back and discuss with my parents and choose an auspicious day to get married. After Liu Bang left, Mrs. Lu was very angry and reprimanded: "You often say that our daughter is too expensive, so many people came to ask for marriage, but you didn't agree. Even your good friend, the county magistrate of Peixian County, asked for marriage for his son. Refuse. This Liu Bang is just a pavilion chief, a small official with sesame mung beans, you marry your daughter to him and suffer?" Mrs. Lu nagging, Lu Gong pretended not to hear, sipping tea alone, occasionally saying One sentence: "A woman's opinion!" "The hair is long, but the knowledge is short." Later, Lu Gong called his daughter and asked her about this matter. She had no ill feeling towards Liu Bang, so she said, "Let everything be decided by the father." The marriage was settled like this down. On the day of Liu Bang's marriage, Cao Shen, Xiao He and others came to drink, and they all laughed at Liu Bang for being really lucky.Fan Kui, the dog-killer, did not envy Liu Bang's beautiful wife, but envied Lu's dowry jewelry and utensils very much. Liu Bang was so drunk that he patted Fan Kui on the shoulder and said, "How? From now on, the benefits will definitely be indispensable..." How did Liu Bang marry Lu Zhi, a rich lady, it can be said that it was unintentional.But today, it seems that Liu Bang does have an attractive temperament, otherwise Lu Gong would not look at him differently, and even marry his daughter to him.Lu's pheasant brought a generous dowry and completely changed the economic conditions of Liu Bang's family. Character determines destiny, and Liu Bang's unruly and boldness became the first reason Lu Gong discovered him. This was the first time he was appreciated by others, and it also added more opportunities for his later career.Marrying a wife is a major event in Liu Bang's life. Lv Zhi is Liu Bang's right-hand man in politics and brings Liu Bang "the first pot of gold in life". She made great contributions, and even Lu Zhi later became the first female protagonist in Chinese history to be in charge of the government.But these are things for later.
