While there was no one in the yard, Cao Ang first opened the sealed money box, revealing a box full of gold inside.
The color is slightly darker than the gold bracelets I have seen in jewelry stores, and the shape is irregular, and there are even some broken gold mixed in.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Even with Dong Zhuo's wealth, it took a lot of effort to collect such a box of gold. It was impossible to demand that every piece of gold be kept in order.
After weighing it for a while and roughly determining the weight, Cao Ang sealed the box again with satisfaction, and then found a place to hide it.
In his heart, he never thought about giving any money to Lu Bu, not even a penny.
Dong Zhuo's rhetoric was just an excuse to make things go more smoothly.
There is no reason to take out the things that are in my hands, let alone such a huge amount as fifty kilograms of gold?
As for how to persuade Lu Bu to defect to Dong Zhuo after losing the money, Shanren has his own clever plan.
He planned to invite Lu Bu to his house for a banquet and visit, in order to brainwash Lu Bu.
This achieves the goal of convincing Lu Bu to defect to Dong Zhuo without spending a penny.
At first glance, it sounds quite difficult and very maneuverable.
But Cao Ang was confident.
…
The next day.
In front of the Cao family's residence.
Lu Bu was riding on a tall horse, holding an invitation in his hand and looking at the door plaque of the Cao family with a strange expression.
Yesterday evening, someone came to my residence and sent me such an invitation, saying that I was inviting Cao Mansion to a banquet at noon today.
Lu Bu was confused at that time.
Inexplicably, someone invited him to the banquet, and he didn't even know this person. He didn't know the reason, and he couldn't figure out how this relationship came about.
However, Lu Bu finally chose to attend the banquet.
Although he did not know who Cao Ang was who wrote the invitation to invite him, it did not prevent Lu Bu from responding to Cao Ang's desire to make friends.
After all, the invitation said that his father was the Right Lieutenant General, a senior military attache with real power in office.
Although he is not as good as his adoptive father Ding Yuan's Zhi Jinwu, he is much more important than his own small role.
Lu Bu was very happy to make friends with such powerful people.
From the remote and desolate Bingzhou to a prosperous metropolis like Luoyang, Lu Bu's eyes were opened.
In the days since Ding Yuan took office, he has learned what prosperity is and what comfort and enjoyment are.
Now if he was asked to return to the cold and cold place in the north of the Great Wall, Lu Bu was unwilling to do so. He desperately hoped that he could stay in a big city like Luoyang for the rest of his life.
There are delicious food, fine wine, and beautiful scenery. If you can live in Luoyang with your wife and daughter, you will be considered a real man.
Making friends with the rich and powerful's children would help realize his idea of staying in Luoyang forever, so Lu Bu chose to attend the banquet.
Sitting on the horse, his thoughts wandered for a while, before Lu Bu got off his horse and knocked on the door of Cao's mansion.
"I am under the command of Lord Jinwu Ding, the chief registrar Lu Bu. I am here to attend the banquet at the invitation of your master. Please inform me."
As the concierge walked quickly.
Soon a handsome young man ran out of the mansion quickly, shouting repeatedly.
"It is a great honor for General Lu to welcome you to this humble residence with great honor."
Lu Bu did not dare to neglect.
"How dare you, how dare you, your house is a high-ranking family, and I sincerely invite you without giving up the humbleness, how dare you not come, Lv!"
"It's just that Brother Cao and I are strangers. I wonder why you invited Lu to come here today?"
Cao Ang laughed and said casually: "General Lu doesn't know me, but I know you. You showed off your majesty in Deyang Palace yesterday. I saw it in my eyes and admired you."
"So I thought of inviting Brother Lu to my house for a chat and to make friends with a hero like you."
Lu Bu suddenly realized.
It turned out to be another admirer.
It makes sense!
For a moment, Lu Bu was a little proud, but he soon lost his pride.
…
Go through the front yard.
Just entered the hall.
Lu Bu was immediately shocked.
"Uh-huh!"
On the left and right stood a row of maids, wearing uniform splendid dark clothes, and even two or three hairpins on their heads.
Not to mention how amazing their appearance is, but at least they are all young and beautiful, full of youthful charm.
"Brother Cao, this, this is..."
Cao Ang pretended not to care and waved his hand.
"A few cleaning girls who usually do rough work made Brother Lu laugh."
Lu Bu couldn't help but click his tongue.
My heart is full of envy.
With the appearance of these maids, even if they were placed in the adoptive father's house, they would be more than enough to serve as personal maids.
As a result, I can only do rough work and clean the house here. But think about how beautiful the personal maids in other people's houses are. I'm afraid they can't compare with the boudoir girls in other people's houses.
Take a look at the clothes worn by these maids. They are all made of high-quality brocade. Thinking of my wife, it is rare to buy a few good clothes a year.
It’s true that in heaven and on earth, the same people have different fates.
Lu Bu was already feeling sour.
When the banquet officially started, the sour taste in Lu Bu's heart became even stronger.
Whether it was the tea specially used for gargling before meals, the vessels for brewing wine, or even the chopsticks for eating, Lu Bu felt extremely exquisite.
And the delicious dishes served one after another, with the maids serving the wine from time to time, made Lu Bu lament the corruption of the upper class.
After the whole banquet, the procedures were actually very complicated, but Lu Bu didn't find it troublesome at all. On the contrary, he enjoyed it and enjoyed it.
This is the style of the upper class, this is the style of a wealthy family!
The common people are busy working and working hard, while petty officials like me have to run around, clocking in and out every day, and have no time to chew carefully. .
Only wealthy families and upper-class nobles have the confidence to eat a meal for more than half an hour.
Now, I, Lu Bu, can truly enjoy the treatment of the upper class and become an upper-class noble.
Brother Cao is a good man. He opened my eyes to Lu Bu.
The Cao family is worthy of being a high-ranking family, a family of officials. This style and courage are beyond words!
After the meal, Cao Ang took Lu Bu for a while into the courtyard.
The scenery is average, after all, the best part is in the fourth or fifth courtyard that belongs to you.
But just this, Lu Bu was fascinated and dazzled by the sight of him, and he wanted to move in immediately.
The pavilions, pavilions and pavilions are all carefully crafted, brick by brick.
By comparison, the shabby place I live in is like a doghouse, and the entire home is not as big as a yard.
Lu Bu's teeth were sore.
