Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 257
After Fei Qian and Hangu Guanling met and exchanged pleasantries, they realized that Hangu Guanling had nothing to do with Zheng Xuan's Gaomi Zheng family, but belonged to the Xingyang Zheng family...

Speaking of which, there are some special similarities between the Zheng family of Gaomi and the Zheng family of Xingyang.

The Zheng family in Gaomi is the ancestor of Zheng State, not the name of the country, but the name of a person. It is said that he is one of the 72 disciples of Confucius.

The ancestor of the Zheng family in Xingyang was also the state of Zheng, but this state of Zheng is a country, and it was enfeoffed during the period of King Xuan of Zhou. After the state was destroyed, Zheng was still named as the surname.

Regarding the size of the two Zheng families, the Xingyang Zheng family is relatively larger.

Hangu Guanling is a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Zheng Chu, named Zirong, was very happy to see Feiqian. He was very enthusiastic and insisted on entertaining Feiqian, and even sent someone to invite the captain Guo Pu.

Fei Qian's hospitality was also hard to turn down, so he couldn't refuse, so he agreed, and took a seat with Zheng Cui.Huang Cheng, who came with Fei Qian, was brought by the Zheng family's servants, and there was another seat at the back of the hall.

After Fei sneaked into the seat, the servants of Zheng's family came in and brought some pulp, dried fruit and other things as an auxiliary snack before the meal.

Zheng Cui pointed to a bowl of soup in front of him and said with a smile, "Servant Fei invited me. This is a hemp miscellaneous soup, which was passed down in Yongzhou and has a unique flavor."

Hearing this, Fei Qian lowered his head and looked at the mushy bowl in front of his eyes. It seemed to be a sour soup with some beans floating in it, and some things like wheat kernels, sorghum, millet, rice, etc. , there are still a little sesame seeds floating on the surface of the soup.According to the material, it is still quite rich, among other things, this sesame is quite rare, and most people can't get it.

Fei Qian slightly covered it with his sleeve, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

cold.

Slightly sour, it seems to have undergone some fermentation, and there is a hint of sweetness and alcohol, and then the mouth is full of the fragrance of grains.A variety of beans and grains are mixed together. It looks like they are all in a complete shape, but in fact they have been stewed so pulpy that they soften on the tip of the tongue without even chewing.

It's a natural drink.

Fei Qian nodded in praise and said: "It produces body fluid to quench thirst, and the fragrance of the grain is fragrant. It's really a good product."

Zheng Cui chuckled, stroked his beard, obviously got Fei Qian's affirmation, as the host felt very happy, he picked up the bowl and invited Fei Qian to drink with him again.

Zheng Chu took a sip, put down the bowl, and before he could speak, he heard a rough voice from outside the hall, "Ahaha, it's rare for Zheng Guanling to invite me, an old man, why is he so elegant today?"

Zheng Cui almost choked, smiled wryly and cupped his hands to Fei Qian, and said in a very low voice: "The person here is Captain Guo Pu, um, no words..."

Immediately, a person came from outside the hall. He was short and stocky. He didn't wear any armor or even a middle coat. It seemed that he was wearing a war robe on top of his small coat, and he was wearing a big cloak. He just came here. ...

As they got closer, Captain Guo Pu seemed to realize that there was another person in the hall, and was taken aback for a moment.

Zheng Cui laughed quickly and said, "Come on, Captain Guo, this is Cai Zhonglang's disciple, the servant of the Zuo Department, He Luofeiqian, and Fei Ziyuan!" Brother also..."

Fei Qian hurriedly exchanged greetings with Guo Pu.

Captain Guo Pu said "uh uh" twice, and choked out a sentence: "Servant Fei is young and promising, and I have admired him for a long time..." Then there was no more words.

Fei Qian smiled, the person in front of him was obviously a rough man with little education, so he didn't take it seriously, and said, "Guo Duwei can do whatever he wants..."

Guo Pu was obviously relieved, laughed, and said, "That's right! I haven't learned any poetry and books, so I really can't speak official Chinese! Thank you Minister Fei!"

Zheng Cui's smiling face didn't seem to change. Seeing that Fei Qian and Guo Pu had met each other, he invited them to the table.

Guo Pu sat down, saw the mozzarella soup in front of him, couldn't help being overjoyed, took it up with a oops, drank it up in one gulp, smacked his lips, let out a long breath, and uttered a "shuang" ", and then said to Zheng Chu: "Zheng Guanling, why didn't you bring out such a good thing earlier... Ah, I haven't had the taste of my hometown for a long time..."

Zheng Chu smiled and said unhurriedly: "This is also obtained recently. If Captain Guo is happy, you might as well drink more."

"Okay!" Guo Pu was not polite, and he directly greeted the servants of the Zheng family, and asked him to pour another bowl, and finished it in two more gulps, so that he drank three bowls in total before he stopped satisfactorily. down.

Guo Pu, Guo Zhonglang, Zhonglang will be the younger brother of Guo Si?
Fei Qian looked at Guo Pu drinking hemp miscellaneous soup with great interest, and at the same time thought that Dong Zhuo must pass through this place if he wanted to return to Chang'an in the west, so he would definitely not send a person from the Kanto gentry faction to stay here for defense, so he sent Guo Si's younger brother came here to guard.

Fei Qian also took a sip of the sesame soup, took a sneak peek at Zheng Cui through the cover of his sleeve, and found that Zheng Cui lowered his head slightly, looking at his nose and mouth, and there seemed to be a smile on his mouth. change...

Fei Qian suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, this matter is interesting.

First, Zheng Chu enthusiastically invited himself, and then invited Guo Pu to attend the banquet together. Well, the whole steps and links are reasonable, and there is no problem, but it seems that when Guo Pu came, he saw that he had an obvious expression of being taken aback. Judging from Guo Pu's personality, he didn't do it deliberately, which means that when Zheng Chu went to invite him, he either didn't make it clear, or Guo Pu didn't hear clearly...

The military use of Hangu Pass is obviously greater than that of civil affairs, so in fact, the captain Guo Pu is more important than the order of Hangu Pass, and Zheng Chu is from a noble family, so how could he not even ask why? Tell me in detail?
Of course, it may be a momentary negligence.

Now that the guests and hosts were all seated, the banquet officially began. After a while, the servants of the Zheng family began to file in and brought up the grilled mutton ribs, soup and some fruits and vegetables.

Zheng Cui raised the bar with a smile and invited Fei Qian and Guo Pu to have a drink together.Both Fei Qian and Zheng Chu drank half of their drink, but Guo Pu drank it all up with a thud, and then, without waiting for Zheng Cui's invitation, he grabbed a grilled lamb rib and gnawed it.

In comparison, Zheng Cui and Fei Qian were more gentle. They used a small silver knife to cut off the ribs of lamb according to the habit of the gentry, and then took it for food.

Knives and forks were not invented in the West. At least in the Han Dynasty, Feiqian often used them when eating meat and other food.

Fei Qian held up the wine bar to invite Zheng Chu to drink, and asked casually, "How long has Zheng Guanling lived here?"

Zheng Chu also raised his wine cup, took a sip, and said, "Cu has no talent, and it's been four years since I received the Hangu Pass Order."

four years ago?
In this way, Zheng Chu should be the leader of Hangu Pass, but this Guo Pu...

Thinking of this, Fei Qian asked Guo Pu for a drink as well, and said casually, "Has Captain Guo been stationed at Hangu Pass before?"

Guo Pu was biting the meat on the ribs of the lamb, and stopped when he heard the words, chewed the meat in his mouth twice, swallowed it, and said: "No, I was in Guanzhong before. It hasn't been long where the shit is..."

Birds don't shit...

Well, let's ignore what I said, but this situation is a bit strange.

　After watching it, Kong Ming smiled and said, "I have seen this lord before."

　　Xuande smiled and said: "Nonsense again, have you ever seen it before?"

　　Kong Ming said with a smile: "Although I haven't seen it before, but looking at Mian Shan, I feel like meeting again after a long separation."

　　Xuande said with a smile: "This is really wonderful! This is more harmonious."

　　"Wang Ning Mei" said:
　　One is a celebrity in Longzhong, and the other is a hero in Zhuozhou.

　　If there is no romance, why did I meet him.

　　If it is said that there is a romance, why is it unified into a lie.

　　One was crying all the time, and the other was mentally exhausted.

　　One rides a quadricycle, the other rides a Luma.
