Zhao Kuo finally arrived at Dongwu City. Dongwu City is very close to Yan State, so the Zhao language here also has some Yan style. The Yan State language is sharper and noisier than other languages. Although it is jerky and difficult to understand, it can be
Most of the officials here can speak fluent Handan accent. Handan accent is the most popular among the Zhao nobles. Handan people speak slowly and leisurely, without being impatient and usually lengthen the last syllable.
Of course, there are also many slangs, such as the most commonly used curse word among Handan people, "You are grown from six grains!" This sentence is considered very vicious in Handan, because there are five grains in the world, and the so-called "six grains are grown" is
If you don't grow up eating serious food, if you think about it carefully, you will understand the viciousness of this sentence. Handan people are a group of people who led the fashion of the Warring States, not only in speech, but also in clothing, and even in walking.
The posture is also different.
Therefore, Handan's fashion is often imitated by young people from all over the world.
Therefore, when Ge used his slow Handan dialect to talk to the officials in Tingyi, even if they did not know their identities, these officials did not dare to look down upon them. Zhao Kuo's fiefdom was not large, with only one township.
After the death of Zhao She, King Zhao recovered some of the food towns given to him. Only Mafu was left to Zhao Kuo. But Pingyuan Jun was different. His food towns were not only Dongwu City, but also the surrounding areas.
Seven cities.
In this era, only Qin paid great attention to the names of counties, counties, and villages, such as Sangmuli, Yanwu Township, Yiqu County, Beidi County, while other countries did not attach much importance to this name. You can say Handan County,
You can call it Handan City, Mafu you can call it Mafu County, Mafu Township, or Mafu City. No one cares how you call it, so the distribution of administrative officials is also extremely chaotic.
This is because in the past, there was only the name "city", and the Zhao State was not as "barbaric" as the Qin State and did not understand ancient etiquette, so most people called it the city. Only the Qin people would change the name of a place.
The preciseness of the counties was a unique rigor of the Qin people, but not only was it not praised by other vassal states, it was always used as a joke to ridicule the Qin people's old-fashionedness.
There was a joke in Handan that the King of Qin sent an envoy to tell him to go to Handan County to talk to Zhao about suing for peace. Soon after, the envoy came back to the King of Qin crying and said that Zhao only had a city called Handan and could not find it.
Handan County.
To be precise, Dongwu City should be Dongwu County. When Zhao Kuo's carriage just arrived at the gate of the county, he had already seen a group of people waiting in the distance. Li Yu took a sharp look and said,
He hurriedly said: "Mr. Pingyuan and his people are waiting for you. Please get out of the car quickly." Zhao Kuo also remembered Li Yu's instructions along the way and quickly ordered Ge to stop the carriage. Ge looked a little reluctant.
But still rein in the car.
Zhao Kuo got off the carriage and said to Ge: "I know you don't like Mr. Pingyuan, but I came here to ask for something from him. Please don't anger him." Ge nodded.
He nodded and said: "You don't need to say more. A minister cannot ruin the master's affairs. I know this truth, but please let me follow you from a distance. Otherwise, if he says something rude, I'm afraid that I
Can't help it."
Zhao Kuo also felt that this was the truth, so he asked Ge to drive behind him, and he walked quickly at the front with Li Yu. The closer he walked, the clearer Zhao Kuo could see that the south gate of Dongwu City was already there.
It was blocked, and the people could only enter through other city gates. There were probably nearly a hundred people standing here. There were all kinds of people, and they were very loud. In the middle of the crowd, there was a man standing.
A slender middle-aged scribe.
He looks quite young. He is wearing red clothes made of brocade, a crown of Jin Xian, clothes embroidered with grains, clothes embroidered with clouds and dragons, a jade belt around his waist, accompanied by a long sword, the scabbard is also extremely gorgeous, standing
Among the crowd, they were also quite bright. In contrast, Zhao Kuo looked very simple. However, despite his heroic face and tall figure, no one dared to ignore him. Li Yu was still giving instructions in a low voice.
"Young Master, if you want to complete your affairs smoothly, no matter what happens, please be patient..."
Lord Pingyuan looked at the heroic young man in front of him, with a kind smile on his face. He walked quickly towards Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo quickly bowed and bowed, saying: "Kuo pays homage to Lord Pingyuan! May I ask if Lord Pingyuan is okay?"
?", Zhao Sheng laughed loudly, walked to Zhao Kuo, helped him up, and said happily: "The last time I saw you, you were just a crying baby, but you have grown so much.
Big."
"I've heard about your reputation in Dongbu for a long time, and I was about to go see you. I didn't expect you to come..." Zhao Sheng said again.
Zhao Kuo quickly said in fear: "No one in the world knows about your reputation, and all the princes are worried because you are in Zhao! And my name is not very famous in Handan, so how dare I
Do you want to come to see me? This time you went out of the city to greet me, and I felt very uneasy. You have a good relationship with my father, and I am also your junior. How can you let the elder come to greet the junior in person? "
"Hahaha~~" Sure enough, Zhao Sheng became even more happy. Then he held Zhao Kuo's hand intimately and said: "How can I have such a great reputation! You are over-praising me!" Zhao Sheng said
Then he took Zhao Kuo and walked towards the city. Zhao Sheng gathered hundreds of diners here. These diners were all looking at Zhao Kuo in front of them. All kinds of eyes were focused on Zhao Kuo, some were respectful, some were respectful.
Some were happy, some were disdainful, and some were angry, but Zhao Kuo ignored them all.
"How can this be an exaggerated praise? Nowadays, people in the horse server often talk about how you released my father and paid more attention to national affairs than personal feelings! They all said that if Zhao can have a few more Pingyuan Juns, the people of Qin will not
Do you dare to invade my country of Zhao again..." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
Zhao Sheng said he didn't dare, but the corner of his mouth was almost grinning to his ears, with a proud look on his face, and he became closer to Zhao Kuo.
When everyone arrived at the door of Lord Pingyuan's mansion, they stopped just now, but two guests blocked the road. They blocked the door, raised their heads high, and looked at Zhao Kuo with disdain. One of them
The bearded doorman asked carelessly: "Are you Ma Fuzi?"
Zhao Kuo glanced at Zhao Sheng beside him. Zhao Sheng raised his head, as if he had not seen the scene in front of him.
Zhao Kuo just smiled and replied: "I am Zhao Kuo. What can I do for you?"
"I have heard about your reputation, but Lord Pingyuan has a good relationship with your father, and you should regard him as an elder. But how can you let Lord Pingyuan go out of the city to greet you just because you have some reputation?",
The bearded doorman asked.
Zhao Kuo was not angry, he was just glad that he did not let Di come with him. Fortunately, Ge was also driving at the rear and did not want to get close to him, otherwise this man would die in front of him now. Li
Yu is a shrewd man. He knew that what Zhao Kuo wanted to accomplish was far more important than maintaining his dignity, so he did not speak to refute. Zhao Kuo said to the man: "What you said makes sense, because this
I have already apologized to Mr. Pingyuan."
He looked at Mr. Pingyuan again and said, "If you still blame me, I can apologize to you again." After saying that, he was about to bend down and bow again. Zhao Sheng stopped him in a hurry and looked angry.
Looking at the long-bearded retainer, he said: "How can you be rude to Ma Fuzi? For a talented person like him, I should go and greet him personally!" The long-bearded guest heard Zhao Sheng speak, which made him
He gave way to the road and stood aside.
The other person held the long sword at his waist, stared at Zhao Kuo, and asked: "What kind of person do you think my master is?!"
"Mr. Pingyuan is my elder, and he is the most virtuous person in Zhao country."
The man snorted coldly and gave way. Zhao Sheng laughed loudly and said that the discipline was not strict, so he took Zhao Kuo into the courtyard. He said it was a courtyard. This was simply a city within a city. The walls of this courtyard were almost
It is as high as the city wall, and within the courtyard, there are bamboo forests, pools, and various houses located in various places. The scale is extremely large. Zhao Sheng held Zhao Kuo's hand and introduced himself to him.
's courtyard.
Looking at these luxurious buildings, Zhao Kuo kept complimenting them, but in his heart, his evaluation of Zhao Sheng became lower and lower.
