Chapter 81 The small circle of the aristocratic family
There is no intermission during public lectures, but you can change clothes secretly without disturbing others.
This is the conclusion Fei Qian came to after secretly paying attention to the people in the venue, and it can be regarded as solving his urgent need.
Xun Yu continued to talk until noon, and then there was about an hour of free discussion time. If you have any questions, you can go to Xun Yu and ask. At this time, the movement of people is not restricted by the venue, so most of the people in the venue dispersed
, formed their own small circles in twos and threes.
Fei Qian had no intention of looking for the Heluo gentry circle. Firstly, although he was considered to be from Heluo, he was a branch of the clan after all. He had not had any special contacts before and was not very familiar with him. Secondly, it was said that the Sima clan in Hanoi did not appear this time.
There is no point in looking for other Hanoi nobles when people come here - it is better to go and see the circle of Yingchuan nobles.
With this idea in mind, Fei Qian hung out with Zao Zhi in the name of meeting the heroes of Yingchuan.
Unfortunately, after two turns, Fei Qian found that he had made some mistakes.
I originally thought that Zao Zhi was at least a member of Yingchuan Changshe, and could be regarded as a local snake. But I didn’t expect to follow Zao Zhi, and found that Zao Zhi didn’t receive much attention or welcome. The two people talked most about meeting each other.
I told them my name and origin, and then basically no one paid any attention to me...
After following Zao Zhi through several small circles but unable to get in or strike up a conversation, Fei Qian secretly pulled Zao Zhi and asked, "Has Zijing ever participated in such a grand event before?"
"Ah? No, this is my first time..." Zao Zhi was a little embarrassed. Did you see this?
Fei Qian almost wanted to cover his face - I knew you shouldn't come to me the first time, and I don't like this...
Fei Qian looked around and saw that the area closest to the high platform belonged to the Chen family. The level of the gentry small circles like the Xun family seemed a bit high. His reputation was still small. Even if he brought out old man Cai Yong and Cai, it would probably not be very good.
Use it, it’s better to settle for the next best thing and find something else...
By the way, I still don’t know what Guo Jia looks like. I’d like to meet Guo Jia when I come to Yingchuan...
Immediately Fei Qian asked Zao Zhi, "Does Zijing know where Guo Jia is?"
"The Guo family..." Zao Zhi turned around and looked around, pointed at a place to the east of the venue, and said, "...that's it, do you want to go there?"
Fei Qian became a little excited and wanted to see Guo Jia. He immediately said he wanted to go without paying any particular attention.
As a result, when I followed Zao Zhi to the east of the venue and saw the people Zao Zhi mentioned, I suddenly felt something was not right...
The three people in front of him are all middle-aged, about thirty or forty years old. The one on the far left is short and fat, the one in the middle has darker skin, and the one on the right is thinner - Fei Qian is wondering, which one looks more like Guo Jia? The one on the right
Lean?
Fei Qian stepped forward, saluted, and said his name.
The man with darker skin in the middle looked at Fei Qian up and down, and said calmly: "Heluofei family? I would like to advise Dr. Fei Min, who are you, Fei Zihao?" - There are many people in the Heluofei family, who are you?
Supported?
"It's my uncle." Fei Qian replied.
——Anyway, he is indeed an uncle, so you can guess whether he is considered a member of the family or not...
"Oh..." The dark-skinned man exchanged glances with the two people next to him, and said with a slight smile on his face: "Then you made a special trip to Xun's house to listen to the lecture?" - Why didn't the members of this family study at home? , but come here to listen to Xun’s lectures?
"No, I was on a study tour in Jingxiang under the orders of my master, and it just happened to coincide with his meeting."
"Oh, I wonder who you are studying under?" - Study tour, this is a relatively high-end class, it seems that it is not an ordinary family.
"I would like to add you to the family of Cai Shizhong." Fei Qian bowed his hands toward Luoyang to express his respect for his teacher Cai Yong.
"Oh! Oh! But Cai Yong and Cai Shizhong?"
"Exactly!" Old Man Cai's signature can't defeat the top nobles, but it is still quite useful against ordinary nobles...
The three people's eyes immediately rounded up. This was Cai Yong's disciple! They quickly greeted each other again.
"Yingchuan Guo Dan, Guo Yuanyi." The dark-skinned middle-aged man cupped his hands.
Not this one……
"Yingchuan Guo Feng, Guo Zhongxin." said the short, fat middle-aged man.
Neither is this...
"Yingchuan Guo Lan, Guo Zibo." The thin middle-aged man also bowed his hands and said to Fei Qian in greeting.
…
Fei Qian felt as if a flock of crows were flying across the sky...
Isn’t it Guo Jia who was promised?
Why has the living person disappeared?
Just as Fei Qian was about to turn around and ask Zao Zhi what was going on, he suddenly remembered that he had just asked "Guo Jia", and Zao Zhi's answer was most likely "Guo Jia". This was a mistake...
Who else could be blamed? Fei Qian was so excited that he neglected to explain clearly. He forgot that in the Han Dynasty, people were called by characters, and this "Jia" was not the other "家". Fortunately, the two characters had the same pronunciation, otherwise he might have been called "Zao". I just thought I had a grudge against Guo Jia, both by name and surname...
Now that we're all here, we can't turn around and leave right away, otherwise it would be too rude.
Let's talk about a few five-baht guys first. Fei Qian said he wasn't very happy that he didn't see Guo Jia.
Zao Zhi found it difficult to integrate into other people's small circles, but Fei Qian said that it didn't matter. After all, people who have been to cocktail parties in the future can chat very harmoniously with people they don't know and can't get along with. , let alone dealing with three unknown middle-aged members of the Guo family?
First listen to what is being said, and then summarize it a little bit, which can not only show that you are listening attentively, but also can trigger new topics - Fei Qianwan is actually very skilled in this method.
Zao Zhi looked at Fei Qian with admiration. He didn't expect that in just a few words, he could be so harmonious with a stranger, like he had been friends for many years. It was really amazing... and he was actually a disciple of Cai Yong and Cai Shizhong. , from yesterday to today, I didn’t say anything at all, and I didn’t feel arrogant because of it. What a humble gentleman...
Fei was so immersed that he didn't notice the little stars popping up in Zao Zhi's eyes. He just wanted to know where Guo Jia was from these three people. After all, they were all members of the Guo family, so they should know something about it, right?
Sure enough, when Fei Qian asked these three people under the guise that his friend in Luoyang had mentioned Guo Jia, the dark-skinned Guo Dan and Guo Yuanyi in the middle said with some surprise: "Oh? Guo Fengxiao? Why do you ask?"
"This... I really don't know, I just mentioned it..." - It can't be said that it was seen from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, right?
"You are a gambling and alcoholic person. Could it be that you have deceived your friends?" Guo Feng, a short, fat middle-aged man, said.
"Ah?! Guo Fengxiao lied?" Fei Qian didn't believe his ears.
Guo Lan, a thin middle-aged man, said, seeming a little helpless that such a person has appeared in the Guo family, "The family has no spare money, and he is very addicted to alcohol. With a little intelligence, he often gambles with others and defrauds others of their money." Go and sell wine...sigh..."
What?!
Is Guo Jia a gambler? He also likes to gamble and drink with others?
OMG!
Shouldn't he be a romantic and talented man who is suave, loved by everyone, handsome and unrestrained, and has flowers in full bloom?
This is really incredible, it completely subverts Fei Qian's three views...
