Chapter 438: Eat Meat and Drink Soup
Zhuo County Yingyang Prefecture is currently very famous in Changping and Rouhuai counties, and has excellent reputation among the people. In addition, the active cooperation of the county magistrate Lu Jie, so Wei Zheng's conscription work has progressed very smoothly. As soon as the news was released, hundreds of people flocked to the military camp to register on the first day, which was enough for Old Wei to be busy.
Let’s talk about Gao Bufan sending Cui Shirou to Huairou County. He originally wanted to find an inn for her to live in, but County Magistrate Lu was very considerate and took the initiative to vacate a private house under his name for Cui Shirou to temporarily live in.
Gao Bufan wanted to refuse, but because of the inn's coming and going and the sanitation conditions were poor, he accepted the kindness of County Magistrate Lu. However, he also stated that it was rented. The rent of 2,000 yuan per month was too high. County Magistrate Lu could not resist, so he had to agree with a wry smile.
The private residence of County Magistrate Lu has two private houses, and the environment is clean and tidy. Even the picky maid Shu'er was satisfied with it and said happily: "Girl, although this house is not as good as her own family, it is also very good. Hehe, thank you, Mr. Gao, you are so nice to treat my girl."
Cui Shirou couldn't help but blush, Gao Bufan coughed lightly and said, "I have had a life-long friendship with Brother Lu, so I should."
"Dog official! Dog official!" A strange voice suddenly sounded, which scared Gao Bufan. He stopped and saw that it was the green-haired parrot in the bird cage that Shu'er was carrying, shouting loudly. It turned out that this little thing could speak. The tone was the tone of Cui Shiyao's stupid woman.
Shu'er angrily patted the bird cage and threatened, "I'll stew you again."
"Brother Gao, good man! Brother Gao, good man!" The green parrot immediately tilted his head and shouted in a humble manner, but he was quite willing to change his mind with Feng.
Cui Shirou couldn't help but feel embarrassed and apologized repeatedly: "Brother Gao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"It's okay!" Gao Bufan waved his hand, not caring about it, because the tone of the parrot when he called the dog official was the same as that of Cui Shiyao, which shows that this stupid woman often defeated herself in front of Cui Shirou, and even the parrot learned to speak.
Gao Bufan looked at the green parrot with interest and asked, "Is this parrot you raised by Miss Shirou?"
Cui Shirou nodded with a red face: "It's called Luying. No one takes care of her at home, so Rou'er takes it with her."
"Rou'er, good person! Rou'er, good person!" The green parrot immediately yelled, not knowing whether it understood it.
Shu'er laughed and scolded: "Little Flatter!"
"Shu'er, flattery! Shu'er, flattery!"
Gao Bufan almost burst out laughing. Shu'er slapped the bird cage awkwardly and said annoyedly: "If you yell again..."
"It's stewed! It's stewed! Rou'er, help me, someone bullies your bird!" The green parrot shouted loudly while jumping up and down unscrupulously.
Gao Bufan said in surprise: "What a smart little thing."
Shu'er said proudly: "Luying is really smart, Mr. Gao, look." After saying that, she put a handful of melon seeds and a copper coin in her palm, then put it to the edge of the cage and ordered: "Luying, pick out the copper coin."
The green parrot really leaned over and picked up the copper coin. Shu'er said proudly: "Look, be smart, the green tassel can still distinguish hundreds of flowers and hundreds of words."
Gao Bufan said skeptically: "Take it serious?"
"Of course, if Mr. Gao doesn't believe it, just write a few words on the spot and let it recognize it." Shu'er said proudly.
Gao Bufan became interested, so he wrote the word "bird" on the mud with branches and asked: "Green Tassel, what is this?"
The green parrot stared at it for a while without humming. Shu'er laughed awkwardly: "It knows this word, girl, what's going on?"
Cui Shirou shook her head in confusion and said, "I don't know what's going on, maybe... I have to write it on paper."
"Oh, Mr. Gao, wait." Shu'er was afraid that Gao Bufan thought she was bragging, so she immediately ran to get the pen and ink, wrote the word "bird" on the rice paper, and Luying immediately shouted: "Bird!"
Shu'er sighed relieved and said, "Young Master Gao, look, my maid didn't lie to you." After that, she wrote a few more words on the paper, and Luying said it accurately.
Gao Bufan couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Shirou should send it to school, so don't delay others' future."
Cui Shirou burst out laughing, Shu'er also giggled and said proudly: "The gentleman in the school may not be better than my girl."
Gao Bufan glanced at Cui Sirou, who was looking like a picture, and asked, "Are these taught by Miss Shirou?"
Cui Shirou nodded a little embarrassedly: "Rou'er usually does nothing at home. Once she found that Lu Ying learned to read poetry, Rou'er tried to teach it to recognize words, but she didn't expect Lu Ying to learn it."
Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Some parrots have a good IQ, and they can even reach the level of a five or six-year-old child."
"What's the IQ?" Cui Shirou asked in a vague way.
"Well... it's wisdom." Gao Bufan explained vaguely, and immediately changed the topic: "Miss Shirou stays here for a while. As long as there is news from Lingzun, I will send someone to notify you."
Cui Shirou was sensible and nodded obediently after hearing this, saying, "Thank you, Brother Gao, Brother Gao is busy with military affairs, so Rou'er will not hinder Brother Gao Bu."
Gao Bufan nodded, turned around and left the house and left the city.
Cui Shirou suddenly felt her heart empty and sighed, "Shu'er, let's go in."
Shu'er only thought Cui Shirou was worried about the safety of the head of the family and comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, the head of the family will be fine, and Mr. Gao will definitely bring the head of the family back safely."
"Young Master Gao, a good person! Youth Master Gao, a good person!"
Shu'er said angrily: "Don't flatter you, Mr. Gao is gone!"
"Young Master Gao, Dog Official...ga"
Cui Shirou angrily stretched out her finger and admired the parrot with a broken head. The latter immediately turned dizzy and fell a big butt, and became honest!

County Magistrate Lu Jie is currently in charge of the logistics supply of Yingyang Mansion Army. He was busy until the afternoon when he returned to the county government office and was preparing to rest and drink water. As soon as he entered the door, the servant reported: "Sir, the great manager is here."
When the county magistrate Lu heard this, he immediately entered the flower hall. Sure enough, he saw Lu Sanlang waiting there to learn tea, and smiled and said, "When will Sanlang come?"
Lu Sanlang stood up and said, "My nephew has met Uncle Jiu, so he has come for a while. I saw Uncle Jiu, you are busy, so I didn't bother you."
Lu Sanlang is the chief manager of the Lu family in Fanyang, and the general agent of the entire Lu family's business, which is equivalent to Cui Hu's status in the Cui family in Qinghe. The magistrate of Lu County is Lu Sanlang's father, ranking ninth in the clan, but his age is about the same as Lu Sanlang.
County Magistrate Lu sat down on the other side of the coffee table. The servant took the tea and automatically retreated. The former picked up the tea cup and moistened his throat, and asked, "Is Sanlang here because of Gao Changqing?"
Lu Sanlang shook his head and said, "Not that. He just happened to come here to check out the business accounts. By the way, I heard that Gao Changqing is recruiting troops in this county?"
County Magistrate Lu nodded: "The first batch of recruits two thousand soldiers, and there should be a second batch later."
Lu Sanlang's eyes flashed and he said to himself: "You have no right, it's expired and invalid. This guy has decisively seized the opportunity. It's great. I was worried that this guy was too cautious and I couldn't help but feel a little timid. Now it seems that I don't have to meet anymore, let's see how he does it!"
A trace of surprise flashed in County Magistrate Lu's eyes and asked in a low voice: "What does the clan mean?"
"Compet with all our strength, and ask for people to give them food, and ask for food." Lu Sanlang said twelve words lightly.
County Magistrate Lu nodded and said, "Okay, but Sanlang, you really don't see him?"
Lu Sanlang smiled and said, "No need, this guy is a smart person. There is no need to say some things in person. Moreover, the effect of just doing and not saying them is better."
"Okay, by the way, there is one more thing. This morning, Gao Changqing sent a woman from the Cui clan of Qinghe into the city to live." said the magistrate of Lu County.
Lu Sanlang showed a thoughtful look and asked, "Is this girl Cui Shirou, the daughter of Cui Hu, the great manager of Cui's family in Qinghe?"
"Hey, may Sanlang know this girl?" said Lu County Magistrate.
Lu Sanlang patted the table lightly and sighed: "It's still Cui Shoucheng's fox chess that is the first to be taller, and I admire him."
County Magistrate Lu hurriedly asked, "What's the solution?"
Lu Sanlang said: "Cui Shoucheng had a sarcastic vision. He was the first to be optimistic about Gao Changqing, and had a short relationship with Gao Changqing, and had a fateful friendship. Later, Gao Changqing really made his mark. It is said that the Cui family in Qinghe also intends to marry Gao Changqing, but Gao Changqing wants to be a Wugui girl from the Changsun family. Last year, the two of them had been engaged publicly. I thought Cui Hu would give up the idea of marrying Gao Bufan, but now it seems that this is not the case. Moreover, in the past two years, the Cui family in Qinghe has been continuously transferred its industries to Zhuo County in a planned manner."
County Magistrate Lu was moved and said in surprise: "So, Qinghe Cui clan has escorted the treasure on Gao Changqing. They are so optimistic about Gao Changqing? Could it be that he thinks that Gao Changqing is real..."
County Magistrate Lu didn't continue to say it, and he really didn't dare to say the three words behind him.
Lu Sanlang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. However, it is certain that Cui Qinghe bets heavily on Gao Changqing. Gao Changqing's son is indeed not a person in the pool. He will at least be the best person in the future. It is absolutely right to have a good relationship.
When this son successfully got the ranch in Yuyi Town, I was very optimistic about this son. Unfortunately, Cui Shoucheng had already taken the lead. Even if the Lu family in Fanyang is now, it is impossible for us to compare with Cui family in Qinghe."
County Magistrate Lu frowned and said, "Why do Sanlang still want it?"
Lu Sanlang smiled and said, "Qinghe Cui's family eats meat, and it's okay for us, Lu, Fanyang, to drink some soup. Now in this situation, the emperor is in a siege, and the world is in chaos. There is a strong man with endless potential around us. Wouldn't it be stupid if we don't hug our thighs tightly? So, you don't have to worry, just cooperate with Gao Changqing with all our strength. Maybe the grand occasion of the Lu family in Fanyang will fall into this."
County Magistrate Lu was slightly shocked when he heard this, nodded solemnly, and secretly decided to do his best to assist Gao Bufan from now on.
