Gongsun Zan had not known Liu Bei for a long time and did not know much about Liu Bei's past, so he felt that Liu Bei was indeed stubborn.
But just because he could wait at the door of Lu Zhi's house for dozens of days in a row, he also admired Liu Bei's persistence from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, for Liu Bei, this may really be his only path, but Gongsun Zan has a father-in-law who can support him.
So Gongsun Zan shook his head and left without saying anything else.
In the end, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were protecting Liu Bei, couldn't stand it any longer and urged Liu Bei not to continue waiting or waste time. His persistence was meaningless.
But Liu Bei still refused and went his own way without wavering.
Facts have proved that stalking has a chance of success.
Liu Bei stalked him for three months. On a certain day in the fourth month, Liu Bei came to the gate of Lu Zhi's mansion as usual in the morning. He saw Lu Zhi finishing packing and leaving the mansion, boarding a carriage and leaving the mansion, heading for the palace. Go in the direction.
In the afternoon of that day, it suddenly rained heavily. Liu Bei was squatting on the ground eating biscuits. He accidentally got wet and hurriedly hid under the wall of Lu Zhi's mansion to hide from the rain.
Under the wind and rain, he felt very uncomfortable and felt extremely helpless, thinking that Lu Zhi might not treat him well after all, just like Liu Bei and Lu Zhi in the original history, they only had the name of master and apprentice.
What Gongsun Zan said makes sense. Even if he is an ancient scripture master, a master of ancient scriptures at the level of Lu Zhi may have already appointed disciples and successors, so it is not his turn to have delusions.
Perhaps, we really can only wait for the Yellow Turban Rebellion and rely on military merit and Gongsun Zan to find a way to sneak into the ruling class.
Are so many days of hard work in vain?
At that time, he was almost ready to leave.
But suddenly, a thunder exploded on his head, making him tremble all over, and then he saw Lu Zhi's bicycle frame heading towards the door of the house through the rain.
Why did the old gentleman go home early today?
He was stunned for a moment, sighed, and thought about how to finish what should be done.
So regardless of the heavy rain, he walked to the place where he usually waited for Lu Zhi and saluted Lu Zhi's bicycle frame.
Lu Zhi's bicycle frame was quickly in place, and the servants in the mansion were already ready and came to greet Lu Zhi with umbrellas.
Lu Zhi got off the car, Liu Bei greeted Lu Zhi loudly, and planned to wait for Lu Zhi to enter the mansion, then leave here, go back and take a shower and change clothes to avoid catching a cold.
As a result, he heard Lu Zhi talking to him.
"Liu Bei, it's raining heavily, but you don't leave. You let the rain wet your clothes. You still stand in the rain and greet me. Do you want me to feel pity for you?"
Liu Bei was stunned and looked at Lu Zhi in surprise.
Your old man has too many psychological activities, right?
I really haven't thought about it that much.
So he could only say helplessly: "Bei has no such idea."
"No?"
Lu Zhi sneered and said: "In three consecutive months, everyone else has left, but you are the only one who is still here. The ancients said that if you gain strength in one go, it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. In the first month, many people gathered around At the entrance of my mansion, there were fewer people in the second month, and in the third month, you were the only one left.
Logically speaking, you should have lost your momentum and even given up like others, but you haven't. It's raining heavily, but you are still standing at the door of my mansion waiting for me, letting the rain soak you, Liu Bei. , you still don’t admit your thoughts? "
Good guy, are you going to play Cao GUI debate with me?
Liu Bei's head turned.
"Mountain Tai slides through the stone, the dragon's horn breaks the stem, the water is not the drill of the stone, and the saw of the wood is not the result of gradual decline."
This sentence comes from the Han Dynasty. It is a passage written on the bamboo slips left by his father Liu Hong. Liu Bei was deeply impressed. It probably means that the spirit of perseverance is indestructible, similar to the water drops of water in later generations.
Lu Zhi said that he was being petty, so he wanted to show that he was not being petty, but because he was a perseverant person. Although the results were similar, the process was completely different.
Sure enough, Lu Zhi's face moved slightly when he heard this.
"Have you read Hanshu? Have you ever learned how to read sentences? Who did you study under?"
Liu Bei shook his head.
"Before arriving at Fengshi Mountain, Bei had only seen this passage in a few bamboo slips left by his late father. He only read the complete Hanshu after arriving at Fengshi Mountain. Bei lost his father when he was young, his family was poor, and he had few connections. , I only learned how to read and write in ethnic studies, that’s all.”
Lu Zhi was quite surprised when he heard this.
"No one taught you how to read sentences? So how did you learn to read?"
Liu Bei thought about it, and of course it was impossible to say that he had received a complete sixteen years of education and read countless books. Although he had not read all ancient classics, he still had this sense of language.
Even if the books at this time did not have unified punctuation marks, it would not be a problem for him. Although it was not easy to read, it was not impossible to divide it into paragraphs.
He can only play metaphysics.
"Maybe... it's based on feeling, right?"
Lu Zhi suddenly felt funny.
"It's ridiculous. No one teaches you how to read a sentence, no one explains it to you, so you are self-taught and can understand the subtle meanings of the ancients? If you can really do this, you are really a genius!"
Liu Bei nodded.
"This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. Bei was poor since he was a child, and he and his mother made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. There was really no way for him to learn sentence reading from a teacher. But for some reason, after going up the mountain, he could read every book he saw. There were only a few I don’t recognize the uncommon words, as I have never learned them before.”
Lu Zhi was quite moved when he heard this.
He knew Liu Bei.
Both were from Zhuo County, Zhuo County, and Liu Bei was his fellow villager. Although he no longer lived in Zhuo County a long time ago, the Lu family was still in Zhuo County. When corresponding with his family, he had seen this person several times. name.
It is said that he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a tyrant in Zhuoxian County. He is quite famous in the county. He has gathered a large group of desperadoes around him. He has made a fortune by being brave and fierce. He has done many outrageous things and killed people. The government has There's nothing you can do against him.
So when Liu Bo, who had a little friendship with him, wrote a letter to fight for Liu Bei's study place, Lu Zhi was not very happy.
But after thinking about it, I didn't really need to teach him anything. I just had the public anger of my master and apprentice. To save face, I just regarded it as a smooth favor with the fellow villagers.
When he first heard the name ringing in his ears, he looked at Liu Bei and found that Liu Bei did not look like the sinister face he imagined, but rather looked like a gentle scholar. , has a good appearance, and there is no trace of the aggressive and murderous aura in his body.
Of course, he didn't care.
There are so many people who want to see him, and there are so many people who, under the guise of asking for advice, are actually full of thoughts of asking for help. The routine is so deep that you, Uncle Lu, understand very well who takes whom seriously.
When I was studying with Ma Rong, Ma Rong deliberately used beautiful singers wearing light clothes to dance and sing to test everyone. Bai Huahua's beautiful body attracted the attention of many people, and how many people almost couldn't bear it and rushed on the spot. The only person living here is Lu Zhi.
Are you playing tricks on me?
Small sample.
But three months passed, and all the seemingly sincere people left. Only Liu Bei was still guarding the door of his house.
It happened to be raining heavily again today. Looking at Liu Bei standing in the heavy rain waiting for him, Lu Zhi seemed to see himself resisting his wild impulse and not looking at the beautiful woman at Ma Rong's mansion.
He just couldn't turn a blind eye anymore.
So there was the previous conversation.
After a conversation, Lu Zhi felt that Liu Bei was not simple.
He said that his educational level was limited to reading and writing. Lu Zhi thought about it and decided to believe it.
How could a street gangster who was a mat weaver and shoe seller learn how to read sentences?
Sentence reading can only be mastered by people with a certain status and cultural level, and they all have a certain teacher-student relationship. Such a person will definitely disdain to be associated with people like Liu Bei, and he will definitely have no channel to learn Sentence reading.
In this case, could it be that Liu Bei was really a self-taught genius?
Lu Zhi was quite interested and wanted to test him to see if it was true or false. As a result, a gust of wind blew at the right time and Liu Bei couldn't help but shiver. Lu Zhi couldn't bear it when he saw it.
"Come in with me."
