Arriving at the door of Bai's house, Lu Zhong stepped forward and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was Lu Buwei. When he saw Lu Zhong, he immediately reacted and said, "Father Zhong will wait a moment. I will go and report." After a while, Bai Gen came out.

In front of the door, they exchanged hard work with Lu Zhong and others. Lu Zhong introduced Lu Bo and others who had not been seen yesterday one by one. Bai Gen met them one by one, bowed together, and led them to sit in the hall.

After the greetings were over, Lu Bo said: "Yesterday, I received Brother Bai's favor and arranged everything. Today I am waiting for Brother Bai to send me."

Bai Gen said: "My magistrate Zhong is generous and has given me a gold. All the carriages under the city have been put into operation. Guests can take a look for themselves. The business is too small. I have sent people to rent carriages in the wild. There is no problem with the materials. Three hundred stones of grain are returned."

We need to ask the grain dealer to meet for negotiation. Yesterday, I told you, sir, that the most important thing at the moment is to meet Lieutenant Huayang and get his protection, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward."

Lu Bo said: "You know this, I know everything, and everything will be sent by Brother Bai."

Sub'an said: "May I ask Brother Bai, where is Lieutenant Huayang from?"

Bai Gen glanced at Xu Bo'an and said, "Brother, I want to ask you something. Although Huayang is a small city, it is at the strategic point where business travelers gather. Although it is not crowded and sweaty, it is also the old capital of Hua.

There are more than a thousand soldiers from China and South Korea, all of whom are highly skilled soldiers with sharp swords and powerful crossbows. Therefore, the Huayang captain is Yu Fei, an old clan of the Han family."

Xu Bo'an said: "I am stupid and have lived in Daliang for a long time. I occasionally go to Zheng State and don't hear about the city captain guarding the merchants."

Bai Gen said: "I have lived in Huayang for more than ten years, but I rarely hear about it."

Suban said: "I would like to hear the details."

Bai Gen said: "Huayang Wei took over at the beginning of the year. During his tenure, several business travelers were robbed by thieves. Huayang Wei was furious and ordered all business travelers to be guarded by Korean soldiers to prevent any mistakes. Business travelers can only use money to join the officialdom.

However, when Korean soldiers enter the merchant travel, how can they live in peace: they must use the name of guarding to show their authority and bring blessings. Later, the merchant travelers have to pass the key points: whenever the Korean soldiers are sent down, they are not allowed to accompany them, but they are placed outside the city, and the distance is calculated, and they are given

Give them money and food, and let them pay for themselves when the time comes."

Sub'an said: "This story is the same as the calamity, so why doesn't everyone say a word about it?"

Bai Gen said: "If you do business without permission, you may encounter thieves or unruly people, and so on, so no one can say anything."

Uncle Tang slapped his thigh and said, "Is there no royal method?"

Sub'an smiled and said: "The King of Han has a good way to gather wealth."

When Uncle Tang heard this, he clenched his fists and stopped making any sound.

Lu Bo said, "What do you think, Brother Bai?"

Bai Gen said: "Foolish intention, it is possible to tolerate small things and plan for big things!"

Lu Bo said: "If you want to be taught, please ask Brother Bai to introduce you to Zhiwu etiquette. Please make it clear. I don't dare to have any shortcomings."

Bai Gen said: "Brother Lu has made a clear decision. It is better to hold a banquet in my humble house and invite noble people. This will save my brothers from running around and toil, and at the same time, I can win the favor of Captain Huayang. Kill two birds with one stone."

Lu Bo said: "How can I feel at ease when I disturb your house! Everything I need will be provided by me."

Bai Gen said: "Why bother, Brother Lu! We have been living in Huayang for a long time. We meet him morning and evening and have a chat with him. It will be much easier in the future." He shouted down: "Bu Wei, you can stick to my integrity.

I'm going to invite Captain Huayang. He said that a friend is coming from afar." Lu Buwei answered him at the door.

Lu Bo said: "The banquet is about to be held, but we dare not sit down. We have to listen to orders in front of the court and under the stove."

Bai Gen said: "Brother, when I first arrived in Huayang and met the captain, I foolishly decided to make a system of three or five tripods."

Lu Bo was shocked when he heard this and said: "Huayang Lieutenant is the old clan of the King of Han, so he should be treated as a high official. But we are all dressed in white, what can we do?"

Bai Gen knew that Lu Bo had misunderstood, and explained: "When the officials come to the countryside, they only conquer what they want and shame only what they have. Are all the rural gentlemen carnivores? The so-called three tripods and five tripods are just for the ears of abundance, and they are not the system of tripods.

!”

Lu Bofang was relieved and said: "The customs in your hometown are very different from those in my hometown. You can ask questions about everything."

Bai Gen explained in detail that the so-called three tripods and five tripods just mean to prepare three or five kinds of meat. The specific meat is not customized, and there is no need to match the corresponding number of guis. It is not a ritual of setting up tripods and lining up guis. Huayang Wei is quite greedy.

He has an appetite, but the food is abundant, and he doesn't mind whether he oversteps the bounds or not. After hearing this, everyone understands and unanimously agrees that since Huayang Wei likes his appetite, he will use the five tripods as a system to choose what he likes. The five tripods are determined.

They are sheep, pigs, fish, wax, and offal. Fish and wax are owned by the Bai family, but sheep, pigs, and offal need to be purchased in the market. Lu Bo repeatedly expressed his greetings, saying that he must go to the market to buy them himself. Bai Gen could not refuse, so he had to agree.

Then he ordered the family members, concubines, etc. to clean the tripods, dishes, and cups. In an emergency and there was no wine, he asked someone to filter the water and shrink it with lemongrass.

After Lu Bo and others came out, they discussed briefly and decided that Xu, Tang, Zheng and Cao would go to the market to purchase meat, vegetables, fruits, jam and other products, while Er Lu went to Lu's Car Shop to meet Lu Bojie. Naturally, Er Lu went to Lu's Car Shop to meet Lu Bojie.

Lu did not explain the identity of his father-in-law - they themselves were not sure yet. They only said that the Lu family's car dealership was also the property of the Lu family in Puyang, and they went to identify themselves. Everyone did not know the details and did not ask more questions, leaving him alone.

The four people left.

Huayang City is not big. It didn't take long to walk from the north gate to the west gate, and you could already see the courtyard of Lu's car dealership. Lv Zhong went up and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door recognized Lv Zhong and let him go into the courtyard.

, hurriedly went inside to report. After a while, Lu Bojie lowered his rank to greet them, and let the group of people into the hall.

Lu Bodao: "Foolish brother, my father is here and I can't help but come to see him. I would like to invite Yu Jue."

Lu Bojie said: "Please come to the temple." Then he got up and went to another courtyard. Er Lu followed behind, and no one else was allowed to follow.

The door of the other courtyard was locked. Lu Bojie took out the key and opened the lock, let Er Lu in, and closed the door again. Then he came to the front of the hall. There was no plaque in the lobby, and the door was locked. Lu Bojie opened the door again and pushed the door in.

, let Er Lu in. The hall was very dark, and a small bean lamp was lit on the table in the middle, which flickered on and off. Lu Bojie said: "When I saw Zhongzi yesterday, I must have known that you are here today, so I set up the magic table to wait for it all night."

The two arrived in front of the case. Only then did they see clearly that there was a god behind the lamp. The name of the god was written in a strange script. Although they could not recognize it clearly, the god's sign was surrounded by auspicious clouds and painted with gold. At first sight, they knew it was something extraordinary.

The two of them did not dare to get close, so they had no choice but to look at Lu Bojie, who said, "This is the Lord Shang Father!"

Er Lu was shocked and said: "Why is Lord Shangfu here?"

Lu Bojie said: "You all think that the ancestral temple of Qi State is the place where the father is worshiped. After Kang Gong, he stopped worshiping him. I don't know that there is actually a branch here."

Lu Bo said: "What do you mean?"

Lu Bojie said: "Shangfu was granted the title of Qi. Although he camped in Yingqiu, he actually lived in Haojing. When Duke Zhou returned to power and became king, he relied on the Taigong's strength. The eldest son Ji also lived in Haojing. Those who lived in Yingqiu, the three

Ziqiu family. The state of Qi established an ancestral temple, but the father-in-law is still alive, so there is no position for the father-in-law. When the Taigong passed away, the Qi ancestral temple established the position of Taigong, and the eldest son was in Haojing, and he also established the position of Taigong. That was it. The eldest son returned to the country,

The god Taigong still lives in Haojing, is enshrined in the Qi ancestral temple, and is established by Shiqiu Gong. Although the god erected in Haojing does not enjoy the ancestral temple, there is still a clan left to worship him. Because of this, the clan holds the position of Taigong, and the eldest son keeps a jade jue as an offering.

, also for faith.”
