After hearing this, Qin Yilu quickly winked at Mrs. Du.
I don’t know if Du Shi saw it, but he smiled at Lu Bu and said:
"Master Marquis, I often heard him talk about the kindness of the benefactor in the past. Now that he has the opportunity to repay the benefactor, he is naturally willing.
If I stop her, wouldn’t she become a stupid woman who doesn’t know why? "
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately: "Then... Qin Yilu just asked me to take care of you, are you willing?"
Du Shi smiled and said: "Oh~ Master Hou, these words are really embarrassing for me! What kind of status do you have, how dare you let Mr. Hou take care of me?
If...if the Marquis doesn't despise me for being stupid, I can actually take care of the Marquis as a slave. "
"Oh? Are you serious about this?" Lu Bu looked at Qin Yilu, who still had a smile on his face.
Is this Qin Yilu still a cuckold?
When Qin Yilu saw Lu Bu looking at him, he hurriedly said: "Enhou doesn't know something, I have been admiring such a great hero as Enhou for a long time!
If she can serve the benefactor, it is her destiny! "
Then he said to Mrs. Du: "What are you still standing there for? Why haven't you thanked the benefactor?"
Mrs. Du hurriedly nodded and bowed her head: "Thank you so much for your kindness, I don't mind you..."
Looking at Qin Yilu's bastard behavior, Lu Bu suddenly felt a bad taste in his heart. If it were in front of him...
Of course, this dirty thought passed by for a moment. Lu Bu cleared his throat and said, "Okay, no need for so many courtesy! Get up and talk.
In this case, I asked Qin Yilu to go out to sea to do things, and you will inevitably feel a little lonely at home.
I think you seem to be someone who can read and write. Just stay by my side and be my personal secretary! "
(Forced explanation: Secretary is not a modern word. In our country, the word secretary first appeared in the Han Dynasty. The original meaning refers to things rather than people. The name secretary originally refers to the royal secret collection, which is mysterious. Books. By the late Eastern Han Dynasty: Secretary not only refers to objects, but also refers to institutions and personnel.)
Qin Yilu knew that the matter was probably settled, and he hurriedly thanked Mrs. Du together.
Lu Bu then said: "Qin Yilu, I am... somewhat of a mysophobic person.
You said you asked Mrs. Du to serve me, and I want to serve you. What will the beauty do when she is exhausted? "
Qin Yilu could naturally hear what Lu Bu meant, and said hurriedly: "The Enhou is right. From now on, she will only serve the Enhou."
Lu Bu nodded: "I can't take advantage of you in vain. When you come back, I will choose a few good ones to serve you."
"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!"
Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Since you want to go overseas, it shouldn't be delayed. Wei Xu will take people overseas in the next two days."
You go find Wei Xu now! However, you don’t have much experience at the beginning, so be his deputy first and get some training.
When you can take charge of your own business, I will reuse you again! "
"Thank you so much for your support!" Qin Yilu left with a happy face.
Only then did Lu Bu turn his attention to Du Shi again.
Du Shi also probably guessed what Lu Bu wanted to do in sending Qin Yilu away so anxiously, and couldn't help but blushing on his cheeks and making him look even more charming.
"Master Hou, this concubine is stupid, and she doesn't know what a secretary is or is not. Please teach me slowly, Master Marquis, and don't think I'm stupid..." Du said.
"Hey, don't worry, I have a good temper. Don't you know my wife's name yet?" Lu Bu smiled and patted the folded mat next to him.
Du Shi swayed and sat aside and said, "My concubine's name is Liu'er."
"Du Liu'er...this name is a bit weird. I'll call you Jinlian from now on. How about it?"
"Golden Lotus, thank you for giving me the name~"
Seeing Du's submissive look, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh: How could a good person marry such a thing as Qin Yilu?
But as a woman, there is nothing you can do if you don’t have status.
Besides, even if he doesn't accept such a stunning woman, she might be given to someone by Qin Yilu as a stepping stone for his promotion.
Rather than letting others cause trouble, it is better to leave it to yourself!
At least he is better than Cao Cao!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt that he had done a great thing and saved the Du family from dire straits!
"Hey, you don't have to thank me like this all the time. Let me ask you, can you write?" Lu Bu asked, reaching out to hold Du's chin.
"Some knowledge of writing and calligraphy." Du Shi replied shyly.
"What about music theory?"
"Music theory?" Du Shi was stunned.
"Ah, just musical instruments, trumpets, Xiaos and the like." Lu Bu said.
"This...I have never learned this...but I can learn it..."
"Then you really have to study hard, come on!"
Lu Bu said, wrapping his arms around Du Shi's neck and pulling Du Shi gently.
Du Shi seemed to have no bones, screamed and fell softly into Lu Bu's arms.
The jade fingers caressed it gently, but the sound of the flute was not heard.
The clear sound goes around the beams, and the bright moon shines on the tower.
The beauty has a beautiful face, and her eyebrows are like flowers.
Who can harmonize with this song can only be dreamed of.

But Zhuge Xuan and Lu Su rushed back to Shouchun and repeated Lu Bu's conditions to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately made the decision, quickly withdrawing 50,000 taels of gold and 100,000 shi of grain and sending them to Lu Bu.
And he asked people to quickly gather the families of the soldiers who were captured by Lu Bu last time, and pack them all up and send them to Lu Bu!
At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice: The young men in the family had been drafted into the army, and all that was left in the family were the old, young, women, and children!
These people are not strong laborers, they cannot recruit soldiers, and they cannot collect much taxes, so what are they left to do?
What's more, sending these burdens to Lu Bu can save fifty thousand taels of gold! It's not even worth 50,000 taels if you sell them!
Lu Bu, a fool, is still pretending to be benevolent and righteous, saying that he wants to reunite the captive family?
In troubled times, who can you pretend to be a good person? hypocritical! Extremely hypocritical!
"Lord, these... more than 20,000 soldiers, and their families together weigh only 50,000 to 60,000..." Yan Xiang couldn't help but say.
Yuan Shu's face suddenly darkened: "So what? Isn't my son's life more important than the lives of these untouchables!"
Yan Xiang had no choice but to say: "Lord, please calm down. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that these people are scattered everywhere. How can they gather together at once?"
I thought it would be easier to collect 50,000 taels of gold, so that His Highness could come back quickly, right? "
Yuan Shu laughed loudly after hearing this: "Mr. Yan, Master Yan! You are so smart that you have been confused for a while!
Where can I really go to find the families of those idiots who were defeated one by one?
But let all places post a notice and ask those who are willing to go to come quickly, and by the way, randomly grab some people from the states and counties along the way and send them there to recharge!
Can Lu Bu still check one by one whether the people we sent there are the family members of those who surrendered to the army? "
