Outside Pingyang City, the war has passed for some time. The original messy ground, potholes, and places where flies and insects flew around have been gradually filled with sand. The dead bodies and the broken limbs have also been replaced.
Let people take it away and bury it deeply. Fortunately, the weather temperature is not too high now, otherwise a large amount of lime would be needed to suppress the occurrence of the plague.
The weeds on the official road outside the city have been generally cleared away, but the ragged civilians are like human-shaped barnyard grass, swaying and skinny. When they see Fei Qian's guard of honor, they kneel down from a distance.
Next, he kowtowed and stepped aside before going about his farm work...
For these people, they never dare to ask for anything extravagantly. As long as they have a mouthful of food to eat and a field to plant, they have hope of living. However, there are other people who often have unsatisfied desires, as if they can't satisfy them no matter how much they eat.
Dissatisfied with the shallow folds in the stomach.
Fei Qian's motorcade honor guard arrived ten miles outside Pingyang and stopped.
Wei Liu had some doubts in his mind, and he raised his hands to Fei Qian and said, "Let Liu go and check it out."
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "That's all, just wait here."
Wei Liu didn't dare to say anything, so he stepped aside uneasily.
Fei Qian glanced at Wei Liu with the corner of his eye, and said nothing, quietly sitting in the car with his hands folded.
The fragrant car, um, no, it's just a simple car. It has three protective panels and the paint is a bit old, with damage showing in some places.
BMW, um, no, just two ordinary variegated horses, riding together, their coats were a little dull, and they were a little laborious and slow to pull the cart.
If it weren't for the fact that Linfen's three elder guards were older, Fei Qian wouldn't want to come by car at all, but this is a courtesy, and he still has to do it at least some amount. However, Fei Qian felt that he had to spend his money to make himself fat.
What is necessary.
After about half an hour, I saw a pair of carriages and horses coming from a distance. A flag stood in front, with the word "WEI" on it fluttering in the wind.
Getting closer, Fei Qian saw an old man sitting at the front of the Wei family's carriage. He was dressed in rich clothes and a wide robe with long sleeves. Although his hair was white, his face was still rosy, and his three long beards were hanging in the wind.
Floating in the wind, it feels a bit like a fairy in the wind.
Fei Qian got out of the car, took a few steps forward and stood still, smiling and clasping his hands.
Wei's carriage and horses were getting closer and closer, and stopped near the front, raising a puff of smoke and dust as they came towards us...
Huang Cheng lurked behind Yu Fei, frowned, and glanced at Wei Liu beside him.
"I'm old and incapable of doing things. It's really a sin to let Fei Zhonglang stay for a long time!" Wei Wang, the old man on the Wei family's carriage, smiled heartily and had a loud voice. However, he said sin on his lips, but there was nothing in his body.
He didn't mean to get out of the car, but he cupped his hands with the hand holding the dove stick, which was regarded as a courtesy.
The old man with the dove stick does not need to bow before an official, but just bows his hands.
Fei Qian squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei is a virtuous man who governs and educates people. He has worked hard all the way and is indeed a role model for the younger generation. I wonder if I am lucky enough to ride in the same car?"
In the same car?
Wei Wang thought about it in his mind. Although his smile on the surface did not change, he saw at a glance that the road under his feet was full of loess and dust. The Fei Qian car in front of him was old and broken, and even the paint was peeling off in some places.
Well, the entire carriage is simply made up of a piece of wood, without even a brocade mat, and only two horses are used to pull the carriage. This is simply...
Wei Wang couldn't help but increase his disdain by three points, and immediately refused to change the carriage. How is this kind of carriage different from a poor family? If he sat on it, wouldn't he lose the Wei family's face?
In the Han Dynasty, people were called old at fifty.
For the elderly, the rules of the Han Dynasty were quite good: when they were fifty, they could eat fine grains but they were not required to serve in the army; when they were sixty, they were given meat by the government and they were not required to do military service; when they were seventy, they were given doves and sticks and they did not bow to the officials; if there were any bullying or disobedience, they would be punished with great punishment.
Disrespectful criticism will not be forgiven.
The position of the third elder also requires people to be over fifty, but Wei Wang may not be over seventy at the moment...
Almost all counties and counties in the country have committed some fraud when counting people over fifty years old. The central court and even the emperor often adopted a tacit attitude towards this. The reasons for this are not difficult to understand: on the one hand,
The false increase in the elderly population does not affect taxes and corvee, since these people will not bear the burden anyway; on the other hand, there are many old people in the countryside, which not only shows that the emperor is wise and the local officials have outstanding achievements, but also is a good omen for the long-term prosperity of the country.
The kind of carriage Wei Wang is riding in now is called a cattail carriage. It is not as big as Fei Qian's carriage, and in this kind of carriage, the old man can sit cross-legged instead of sitting upright, and the wheels are also wrapped with cattail grass.
Reduce bumps.
In fact, it's not impossible to change trains at Weiwang, but I'm used to being wrapped in soft brocade cushions, and then immediately sitting upright on a hard board. This is really a big difference.
For example, Fei Qian's car is like a four-wheel tractor, and Wei Wang's car is a Mercedes-Benz smart. It seems clear at a glance...
Therefore, Wei Wang politely declined Fei Qian's invitation on the grounds that it was inconvenient to get in and out of the car due to the difficulty in getting on and off the car. Fei Qian did not force it, so he nodded and returned to his car, and the group of people staggered back to Pingyang.
When we arrived at the Yamen Hall of Pingyang Mansion, the guests and hosts were seated.
"During the time when Duke Wei was looking at him elegantly, I was a scholar from the east of Hedong and a crowned prince from the north. Today, I am blessed with virtue. Qianshi is extremely honored." Fei Qian said some polite words and invited tea.
"It's a ridiculous compliment, it's a ridiculous compliment. I really can't take it seriously." Wei Wang brushed three strands of his long beard, raised his head and laughed twice, and said, "Fei Zhonglang has made outstanding contributions. He protected Jing and restored the land. He assisted the king at the top and An An at the bottom.
The common people have the aspiration to travel far and wide, which makes us, the country people, admire us greatly."
Ban Dingyuan?
Are you planning to put a high hat on me or are you planning to define my nature?
Fei Qian cupped his hands and said: "Compared with Qian He's virtue and Dingyuan Hou, he dare not speak of his merits. Just seeing that the Han family in the north is gone, the smell will be stained, so I will do my best."
Wei Wang said with a straight face: "There is no one more humble than Fei Zhonglang. Shangjun has been occupied for a long time. The land has been ruined and crops are ruined. Ethics are unreasonable. People and families are in danger. Fei Zhonglang's majestic appearance and elegant appearance are all about driving and driving."
Volunteer soldiers, relieve hangings, save fire and water, contribute to the country, and be virtuous to the people. Looking at the young talents of Heluo, Fei Zhonglang is the best in the world!"
Although the words are nice to hear, to Fei Qian, to this extent, well, how should I put it...it feels like those marketers in later generations will praise you from beginning to end after entering the door, and even fart -
Ah, there is a voice as smooth as silk and bamboo, as smooth as Dove...
Fei Qian tilted his hands upwards to show his respect for the emperor, and said: "This is the emperor's sage. The officers and soldiers are responsible for their lives. They hide their talents at the right time. It just happens that they meet. Don't dare to be greedy for merit! Wei Gong is too praised, too praised."
Who knows what this guard is planning now. If he proudly admits it, he might turn around and become arrogant and arrogant.
"Ah... Mr. Fei Qian, you are really... humble and unparalleled in character..." Wei Wang saw that Fei Qian did not take credit for his achievements and did not accept flattery. He couldn't help but think in vain. With the help of drinking tea
I glanced at Fei Qian a few more times. I originally thought that Fei Qian was still a young man and was very arrogant. If I flatter him a little more, even if I don't get carried away, some flaws will inevitably be revealed. However, I didn't expect that Fei Qian is as calm as a Chen.
An old official...
It is said that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had a drink and discussed heroes.
The two of them ate, drank and talked.
At this time, the serving soldier brought the food. Liu Bei found that his thumb was stuck in the dish, and he said angrily: "My mother! What are you doing?!"
The soldier hurriedly explained: "My finger is injured, and the doctor ordered that it be treated with room temperature."
Liu Bei scolded again: "It's your mother's fault! It needs to be kept warm and warm, so why put it in the vegetables! You can just put it in your own hands!!"
The soldier replied: "What your envoy said is true. Before the food was served, I inserted it into my buttocks myself."
