Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 410 Mrs. Du's Request
Zhang Sui hasn't gotten up yet!
When he heard that Chen Deng had brought Lu Su, Zhang Sui hurriedly got up, threw on a piece of clothing and went out.

As soon as I reached the threshold of the hall, I saw a slender figure with a jeweled sword hanging at his waist, looking around.

Next to him, Chen Deng was talking and laughing with him.

When Chen Deng saw Zhang Sui coming in, he hurriedly said, "Here you are, Zijing!"

The figure then turned around.

He was a young man in his early twenties with a sparse beard. His face looked a little tired, but his eyes were full of spirit.

The clothes he was wearing looked plain, but they were made of silk, and he was obviously the son of a wealthy family.

Seeing Zhang Sui, the young man quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists towards Zhang Sui and said, "I am Lu Su, a member of the market town, and I am honored to meet you, General!"

Zhang Sui returned the greeting to Lu Su and said with a smile, "Zi Jing, I have heard of you."

Lu Su smiled faintly.

Chen Deng, who was standing by, said to Zhang Sui, "My lord, Zijing's grandmother just passed away and was buried, so he is in a bad mood. Please don't blame him."

Zhang Sui was stunned.

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.

When an elder in the family passes away, most people will observe mourning.

At the beginning, Zhao Yun was still under Gongsun Zan's command and wanted to leave, but didn't know how.

It happened that his brother passed away, so Zhao Yun used this excuse to go back. No matter how reluctant Gongsun Zan was, he had to let him go.

Sun Ce met Sun Jian and died in battle, and did not leave for three years.

Zhang Sui felt very unhappy that Lu Su came over at this time.

Zhang Sui called Chen Deng aside and whispered, "Yuanlong, why did you ask him to come here? I know Zijing is very capable, but his grandmother is gone, and this is a top priority. Asking him to come here is too much..."

Chen Deng looked back at Lu Su and whispered, "Zijing's grandmother was a heroine. She lost her son and daughter-in-law very early, and she has been raising Zijing with great difficulty for more than 20 years."

"Before, the old man brought Zijing to see me and wanted me to help Zijing find a job."

"Although the Lu family has money and food, no one has ever served as an official."

"But I was under Liu Xuande's command at that time."

Chen Deng smiled at Zhang Sui and said, "Due to Liu Xuande's condition at that time, I didn't dare to agree."

"Now that I am under the command of the lord, sending a powerful person to lobby Liu Xun this time is considered a great achievement, right?"

"That's when I thought of him."

"Also, I just learned from him that there is a group of bandits near Shu County, Lujiang, with nearly 10,000 people, and the bandit leader is called Zheng Bao."

"Zheng Bao has a military advisor named Liu Ye, who is Zi Jing's friend."

"Then Liu Ye wrote a letter to Zi Jing and asked him to come over."

"This Zi Jing is even considering it."

"I can only bring him here for you to take a look at, my lord."

Zhang Sui then nodded, with some emotion.

It is truly “the love of parents in the world is so pitiful”.

Of course, this is my grandmother's heart.

Always thinking about seeking benefits for grandson.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sui walked over and said to Lu Su, "Zi Jing, I will take you to see my teacher Tian Gong later. You can ask him for gold, silver and jewelry and take them to Lujiang."

"Even if we fail, it doesn't matter. Saving our lives is the first priority."

"If successful, I will transfer you to Guangling to serve as the military commander and train the navy."

"In the future, when we go south to Jiangdong, if you can still make military achievements, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Lu Su nodded, bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

Zhang Sui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although it has always been said that loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time, you should not disappoint your grandmother's expectations."

"I have something to do this time, so I have to go to Xiaopei first."

"I'm going to Lujiang later. When the time comes, I'll come back and pay my respects to your grandmother."

Lu Su was stunned, his eyes reddened as he said, "Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Sui then said to Chen Deng, "Yuanlong, take Zijing to have a meal first, then bring him here, and I will take him to see my master."

Lu Su hurriedly said, "As for gold, silver and jewelry, there is no need to make any other arrangements."

"My grandmother is gone, and I am the only one left in the Lu family bloodline."

"I still have gold, silver, jewels and tens of thousands of bushels of grain at home. There is no point in keeping them."

"Some time ago, when my grandmother was still alive, Zhou Yu from the Zhou family in Shu County, Lujiang, came to borrow 20,000 hu of grain from me and left."

"Give the rest to Liu Xun!"

"Xuzhou has been at war for the past few years, and the people are exhausted and can't afford to pay much."

Zhang Sui: “.”

The history books I read before traveling through time said that Lu Su was heroic. Even when Zhou Yu, whom he had only met a few times, asked to borrow grain from him, he gave him a lot.

In the past, he always felt that Lu Su was forced to lend grain to Zhou Yu.

This was because Zhou Yu was a descendant of the Zhou family, the head of the Shu County of Lujiang River, and the Zhou family was a top-notch aristocratic family with three dukes in two generations. Lu Su was unwilling to offend such a top-notch family.

Now it seems that I was always judging others by my own standards.

Or perhaps, that was the extent of my vision before.

Just like two thousand years later, many people could not believe in Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, and thought he was a hypocrite.

With a long sigh, Zhang Sui nodded to Lu Su and said, "Okay."

"Zijing, if you have anything, just come to me directly."

"I'm here to promise you that I won't let you down."

"You show off your talent to your heart's content, and I will make you shine and be remembered forever."

Lu Su bowed to Zhang Sui again and left under the guidance of Chen Deng.

Zhang Sui watched Lu Su leave with mixed feelings.

Lu Su was so heroic that he felt a little heavy.

In the past, he did not believe in the loyalty and righteousness of the ancients, and always felt that they were all selfish.

Now it seems that this is what is meant by “How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?”

Zhang Sui returned to his room, put on his clothes, and prepared to go find Tian Feng to ask Tian Feng to take good care of Lu Su.

It's not just Lu Su's heroism.

Moreover, Lu Su in history was also a very powerful person.

When I arrived at the government office, I saw a familiar figure——

Mrs. Du!
Mrs. Du was wearing a veil and walking back and forth alone in front of the government office gate.

The carriage stopped in the distance.

Zhang Sui was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Mrs. Du to come to him.

He and Mrs. Du didn't really have much in common.

The only intersection between them was probably that she had reminded herself before not to get too close to Lu Wen, as Lu Bu and Madam Ren would not like that.

Zhang Sui walked over quickly and asked with a smile, "Madam Du, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Du was lowering her head, thinking about something.

Hearing Zhang Sui's voice, she raised her head suddenly and was startled.

Then she hesitated again.

Zhang Sui stopped in front of her and said, "Mrs. Du, if you have anything to say, just say it. I don't like beating around the bush."

"If I can help, I will do my best."

"When I was still a boy of the Chen family, Madam Du gave me some advice without looking down on my status, and I accepted the favor."
