With Bohu and his son by their side, Zhang Yue and Lu Bo naturally could no longer talk about any important matters. They were speechless all the way back to the Wei family.

When passing by Lu Bo and his entourage, Uncle Guo suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Lu has come back, there is a good gourd, we are willing to take him."

Zhang Ye quickly stopped him and said, "This is the office of the Wei family. How dare you..."

Uncle Guo said: "Why not, it's just Qian'er. Without Brother Lu's help, how could you get Jia?"

Seeing Uncle Guo's unkind expression, Bohu hurriedly put down the basket and said, "The basket has been delivered. I'll ask you to leave." Before Zhang He could say anything, he tilted the basket to the ground and hurried away with the empty basket.

No matter how he called them, he didn't look back. He was secretly happy that Lu Bo had paid the money first. Otherwise, his life would not be at stake and he would not care about the money.

The noise here attracted the attention of everyone around. Uncle Tang, Zheng Anping, five scholars, Wei Shi and his party were all here.

Fortunately for the five scholars, Uncle Tang and his party immediately picked up a gourd from the ground of their choice and left with a smile. Zheng Anping and others also tried to pick it up, but Zhang Noi hurriedly stopped him and said: "Brothers,

Wait a minute. I have no virtue, but I am lucky enough to be given a blanket by the Wei family. I have been given the order to go to Jia Hu. Now that the order has not yet been paid, and all the gourds are gone, how can I live in this world? May all brothers have mercy on me."

When Zheng Anping heard Zhang Yue's quack words, he stopped motionless. Seeing this, the people who came from the Wei family turned around and called for help. So a dozen people came over.

The old man of the family still sat still, eating and drinking in silence.

Uncle Guo said loudly: "You and others might as well. The money goes out to Uncle Lu and the goods go to the Lu family. Who dares to say no? Now that Uncle Lu is silent, whoever dares to take one away will definitely not have any relationship with him!"

Uncle Lu stepped forward and tried to persuade him, "Brother Guo, you don't have to be like this. Let's go on the same road, so that we can be at ease with each other." When Uncle Guo saw what Lu Bo said, he angrily walked aside and sat on the ground angrily. Seeing this, Uncle Guo also followed him.

, sat next to him to persuade him. Zhang Ye naturally knew it well, and hurriedly winked at the people of the Wei family who came over, and whispered: "Pick it up quickly!" After everyone understood it, they all dispersed to pick up the things scattered on the ground.

There are a few people standing by to maintain order. The gourds are relatively large, and one person cannot take a few. To pick up a few, he has to walk back, put them down and come back to pick them up again. The elders of the Wei family are still sitting there, eating and drinking, and supervising the work.

Zhang Ye ran to "consol" Uncle Guo, and Guo Zhongjin, who had been beside him, followed him and knelt in front of the three of them. He seemed to be saying something to Uncle Guo, but he blocked his gaze towards the three of them until he reached the ground.

When all the gourds were almost cleared away, Lu Bo took Uncle Guo's hand and shook it, stood up, seemed to have persuaded Uncle Guo, and followed Zhang Noi to the elder of the Wei family, bowing and paying the order.

The elder of the Wei family looked at Lu Bo and said, "My friend is very unjust. What can I do?"

Lu Bo said with a smile: "I am tired from the journey and feel depressed. I am quite disrespectful. Please forgive me, Mr. Wei."

The veteran of the Wei family said: "I'm very tired from the journey. I obviously feel unhappy when I see you wasting money... Anyway, you and the other three can choose three gourds, fill each with water, and then pass by!" Lu Bo was shocked when he heard this.

One gourd and three gourds of water cost over 30 yuan, which was unjustifiable. When I was about to argue, I saw that the elder of the Wei family turned his back and only focused on eating and drinking. I had to endure my anger and went to pick up three gourds.

The gourd - I didn't dare to choose the big one, so I only took three of the same size. I filled it with water from the gourd, and Zhang Ye helped me carry it back. Uncle Guo seemed to be about to stand up, but was held down by two companions -

—Zhang Ye came back alone.

The elder of the Wei family said to Zhang Zhen, "You seem to be hesitant."

Zhang He said: "I regard Brother Lu as my friend. Brother Lu never abandons me and helps me with money. But how can I be deceived by my elders?"

The elder of the Wei family said disdainfully: "When you travel around the world, you often rely on poverty and low status, but you know that loyalty is the first priority. People who don't know poverty and low status should not lose their identity because of their appearance. Scholars, farmers, and merchants are the lowest, but they have to take care of other things.

How can we earnestly and sincerely promise each other with loyalty?" Seeing Zhang Yue lowering his head, he said with great enthusiasm: "Bring the gourd, fill it with water, and return it to the village. I will go with you."

Several young people came up and filled the gourds with water in a hurry; the few people who had entered the countryside of Jia Shui now carried the gourds and returned to the countryside; others packed up their vehicles, reorganized the team, and started on the road again. Zhang

He didn't know how to deal with all this, and stood aside with deep thoughts. After everyone got up, he went to Wei's family and bowed deeply, saying: "Young man, I appreciate the kindness of the He family, and I can't repay it. I don't want others to say that the elders of the family are unjust."

, I am willing to repay Brother Lu with my private money, and I hope my family will agree!"

A veteran of the Wei family said: "But you have to pay attention to what you promise. If you have money, why do you need to borrow the help of foreigners? If you don't have money, the matter is already settled, so why bother?"

Zhang Zhuo said: "I don't want my elders to be slandered by others, so I secretly criticize them."

The elder of the Wei family sneered and said: "I'm slandering you and criticizing you secretly. What can I do?... Come on, do what you want and stop making noises."

Zhang He saluted again and came out of the motorcade. Seeing Lu Bo and the other three people also getting up and walking, he went forward and bowed, which finally made Mr. Guo relax his tense face, and Lu Bo also seemed to let go of a burden in his heart. So the four of them

The people came together and followed the convoy at a short distance. Uncle Tang and the others picked up the free gourds and ran away without knowing where they were. Next to them were five servants dressed as gentlemen and five military men dressed in short brown clothes.

Death.

These three groups of people moved fast or slowly, in front or behind. They seemed not to care, but in fact they were quite careless. Intentionally or unintentionally, they blocked the specific conversation between Zhang Noi and his entourage; even sometimes, some retainers or soldiers came to Zhang Yue's house.

Every once in a while, they would briefly talk a few words and then repeat them. Of course, these people also had conversations with the Wei family, and the content of the conversations was naturally very different.

After about ten miles of walking, the convoy in front stopped and reported that "the front is blocked by the Qin people." The elder of the Wei family ordered the convoy to stop temporarily. Seeing this, Zhang Noi quickly returned to the Wei family and walked to the Wei family.

The old man of the family next to him asked: "Why did you stop?" Since Lu Bo and his party reported that they were going with the Wei family, they naturally stopped with the Wei family. The retainers and soldiers also pretended not to know why and stopped in confusion.

.

A veteran of the Wei family said: "It's okay, the Qin people will set up obstacles."

When Zhang Yu heard this, he turned around and said loudly to the three people outside the car: "It's okay, the Qin people will set up obstacles!"

When the three people heard this, the confusion on their faces disappeared, but their steps stopped moving forward. They made up their minds to lean against Wei's big tree to enjoy the shade. The elders of Wei's family saw this and let out a "hum" in their noses.

He showed a look of disdain. Seeing this, Zhang Le quickly lowered his head and put on a respectful posture.

The elder of the Wei family was silent for a while and then said to Zhang Zhen, "How do you decide this matter?"

Zhang Ye pretended to be surprised and said: "What's the matter?"

The elder of the Wei family said impatiently: "Money!"

Zhang Ye suddenly said: "Young man, I loaned this money to Uncle Lu, and I will definitely pay it back."

A veteran of the Wei family said: "How tall are these piles of gourds?"

Zhang Zhe said: "Thirty dollars!"
