Lu Bu had a good night's rest in his new residence. The next day, he went to visit his foster father, Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi's residence was in the east of the city. It was a simple courtyard.
The old servant at the door led Lu Bu into the main hall.
At this moment, Lu Zhi was sitting in the house eating. The dry wood for warmth was crackling.
"Fengxian, you're here. Sit down and eat together.”
Seeing Lu Bu, Lu Zhi was very happy.
There were only two light dishes on the table, not even a single meat dish.
Lu Bu didn't mind, sitting opposite Lu Zhi and eating.
"Godfather, your house is not small, but there are too few maids and servants to serve you.
I'll recruit some servants for you tomorrow and hire two chefs.”
Lu Zhi laughed and scolded,
"You brat, you're just complaining that the food at my house is not to your liking.
After eating so many days of meat on the grasslands, he still hadn't had enough.”
Lu Bu asked Lu Zhi curiously,"
"His Majesty has conferred the title of North Pacifying General and Marquis Jiang Ting on my foster father.
Why was his godfather's life so simple?”
Lu Zhi smiled and said,
"This old man is a scholar. What use do I have for those worldly possessions?
As long as they could eat and wear warm clothes, there was nothing else they could ask for.
I've given all that money to the poor.”
Looking at Lu Zhi's expression, Lu Bu knew that he really didn't care about money.
It was hard to imagine that this simple scholar was the ancestor of the Lu family of Fan Yang.
Lu Zhi took a sip of water and smiled at Lu Bu,"
"Fengxian, are you used to Luoyang?
It was still very different from Jiuyuan County, right?”
Lu Bu nodded and said,"
"Luoyang City is quite lively. Today, the Yellow Gate Order, Zuo Feng, sent an official robe over.
He said that the emperor summoned me and called me to pay my respects to the emperor tomorrow.”
"Fengxian Fenglang Juxu, show the prestige of my Great Han Dynasty.
His Majesty was delighted and conferred you the title of Marquis. It was only natural for you to enter the court for an audience.
It's just that these eunuchs have always been at odds with us. Did the Yellow Gate Order make things difficult for you?”
Lu Bu smiled and replied,"
"Don't worry, Father. Zuo Feng is also a reasonable person.
His son was reasonable and moved by his emotions, so he did not make things difficult for him.”
"That's good. It seems that there are also good people in the Yellow Sect.”
Lu Zhi sighed and said to Lu Bu,"
"Follow me at the court meeting tomorrow.
After court, I'll introduce you to a few old friends.
They are all respected seniors. My son will need them to take care of him when he becomes an official in the capital.”
"I understand. Thank you, Father."
Lu Bu could imagine who Lu Zhi wanted to introduce to him. It was none other than the Qingliu faction in the court.
It seemed that his cheap father had already tacitly agreed that he was Qingliu's man.
The next morning, Lu Bu was woken up from his sleep by Gao Shun.
Lu Bu put on the military uniform that Zuo Feng had given him and looked at himself in the mirror. He did have some authority.
As expected, a handsome man would look good in anything.
Gao Shun stood guard at the door and said seriously,
"My lord, the carriage is ready. It's time to set off for court.”
"Let's go."
Lu Bu followed Gao Shun out of the courtyard and saw a two-horse carriage parked in the front hall.
This carriage was made of top-quality wood, and even the carvings on it were made by a master.
Needless to say, it must have been bought by his rich foster father, Zhen Yi.
Zhang Liao was dressed in a tight suit and was waiting for Lu Bu in the carriage.
"Wenyuan, why are you here too?"
Zhang Liao smiled and said,
"Eldest Senior Brother, it's your first time attending court. The two of us will definitely send you off.
If we change to those horse coachmen in the residence, we won't be able to show our brotherhood.
I can also ride a horse around the capital and see what it's like for the courtiers to go to court.”
"At least you have some conscience.”
Lu Bu couldn't help but feel touched.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had grown up together with him. They were more like brothers than blood brothers.
Lu Bu didn't stand on ceremony with Zhang Liao and got into the carriage.
In the capital, only the three dukes and nine chancellors were able to ride in carriages.
Although Lu Bu's official position was not as high as theirs, he was indeed a Marquis Champion, and was favored by the Emperor.
It made sense to take a car there.
Lu Bu had Zhang Liao go to Lu Zhi's residence to pick up his foster father.
Lu Zhi had just walked out of the residence and was about to drive over.
However, compared to Lu Bu's carriage, Lu Zhi's carriage was much more shabby.
Lu Zhi's carriage was the cheapest standard carriage that could be bought anywhere in Luoyang.
This carriage was only pulled by an inferior horse, and it was pulled by an old servant from Lu Zhi's residence.
Lu Bu quickly got out of the car and said to Lu Zhi,"
"Godfather, take my car!"
"Alright, then I'll bask in Fengxian's glory.”
The two of them sat in the carriage. Lu Bu smiled at Lu Zhi and said,"
"After the court session, son will send a brand new carriage over to Godfather.
There were also the things that the residence needed.”
"Father doesn't mind these worldly possessions.
To this old man, having such an outstanding foster son like Fengxian is even happier than riding in a gorgeous carriage.”
Lu Bu and Lu Zhi were chatting in the carriage when they arrived at the entrance of the palace.
Lu Bu alighted from the carriage. At this moment, the entrance of the Imperial Palace was filled with all kinds of gorgeous carriages, just like a car show in the future.
Indeed, there was not a single poor person who could come to court.
The officials gathered in twos and threes and walked into the palace.
When they saw Lu Zhi, someone greeted him warmly.
"Brother Zigan, did you change carriages today?”
Lu Zhi smiled and replied,
"Isn't this because of my foster son?
Fengxian, this is Cai Zhonglang, Lord Cai. He is also your elder.
Aren't you going to greet Cai Zhonglang?"
Lu Bu sized up the Cai Zhonglang that Lu Zhi had mentioned.
This person was wearing a brown Confucian robe. He was thin and energetic.
He had the bearing of a great scholar.
Lu Bu said to the system,"
"System, check Cai Zhonglang's attributes for me.”
The system immediately replied to Lu Bu,"
"Ding! [The System has received the message and is inquiring for the Host!]”
"Search successful!
The name of the adoptive father is Cai Yong.
Substitute foster father Cai Yong's attributes:
Strength: 12, Commander: 19, Intelligence: 40. Luck: 23
[Special Attribute Confucianism: 90]
Substitute foster father Cai Yong's skill:
Compiling history books, master-level calligraphy, master-level zither skills, master-level literature.
[Substitute Godfather Level: Epic]
(Note: Detected that the alternative foster father has an Epic daughter.)
The host can worship him as his father-in-law, which has the same effect as his adoptive father.)”
After checking Cai Yong's attributes and skills, Lu Bu didn't know how to evaluate this old man.
Cai Yong had a lot of Master level skills, but they were basically useless.
The useful attributes were really average.
However, the system's last sentence made Lu Bu's eyes light up.
People with Epic daughters could directly become father-in-law.
Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone for him?
