Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 488
Outside Pingyang City, the war has passed for some time.The original mess, potholes, and places where flies and insects flew around were gradually filled with sand.The dead bodies and the broken limbs were also taken away and buried deeply. Fortunately, the 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 roads outside the city have been largely cleaned up, but the ragged peasants are like barnyard grass in the shape of human beings, swaying and thin in color. When they see Feiqian's guard of honor, they kneel far away Next, after kowtowing, I avoided the side, and then went to work on the farm...

For these people, they never dare to ask for anything extravagantly. As long as they have a mouthful of food and a field to plant, they have the hope of living. Dissatisfied with the shallow folds in the stomach.

The guard of honor of Fei Qian's convoy stopped ten miles away from Pingyang.

Wei Liu had some doubts in his heart, he cupped his hands towards Fei Qian and said, "Go check it out before you stay."

But Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just wait here."

Wei Liu didn't dare to say too much, so he stepped aside anxiously.

Fei Qian glanced at the sweeping Weiliu out of the corner of his eye, but didn't speak, just quietly sat in the car with his arms folded.

Xiangche, um, no, it’s just a simple car. The three-sided guard plate and paint surface are a bit old, and some places are showing damage.

BMW, um, no, just two ordinary variegated horses, driving together, the coat color is a bit dull, and the pull is a bit laborious and slow.

If it hadn't been for the consideration of the age of Linfen Sanlao Weiwang, Fei Qian would not have wanted to come by car at all, but this is a courtesy, and it is necessary to do something, but it feels awkward to let Fei Qian spend his floating money to make his face swollen and fat. what is necessary.

After about half an hour, Fang saw a pair of chariots and horses approaching from a distance, a flag stood in front, and the word "Wei" on it fluttered in the wind.

When he got a little closer, Fei Qian saw an old man sitting in front of the Wei family's chariot. He was dressed in Chinese clothes, with a wide robe and long sleeves. 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 chariot and horses were getting closer and closer, and stopped in front of them, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, coming towards them...

Huang Chengli frowned after diving behind Fei, and glanced at Wei Liu beside him.

"The old man is not good at conduct. It is a sin to let Fei Zhonglang wait for a long time!" Wei Wang, the old man on the Wei family's carriage, smiled heartily, with a loud voice, but he said sin on his mouth, but his body did not feel any harm. The meaning of getting out of the car was to cup the hand holding the dove stick, which is considered to have seen the ceremony.

The old man with a dove stick doesn't need to bow when he sees an official, he just bows his hands.

Fei Qian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Grand Wei is a wise man, he has worked hard all the way here, and he is really a role model for the younger generation. I wonder if he is lucky enough to ride with him?"

Same car?

Wei Wang thought about it for a while, although the smile on the surface did not change, but at a glance, he saw that the road under his feet was full of loess and dust, and the Feiqian car in front of him was old and worn out, and even the paint was peeling off in some places. Well, the carriage as a whole 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 adding another three points to his disdain, and immediately refused to change cars.What is the difference between this kind of chariot and horses?If he sat down, wouldn't he lose Wei's face?
In the Han Dynasty, fifty was called old.

For the elderly, the rules of the Han Dynasty are quite good. At fifty, you can eat fine grains, and you are not subject to forced labor. At sixty, the government will give you meat, and you will not serve in the army. At seventy, you will receive a dove stick. The crime of disrespect is not forgiven.

The position of the three elders also needs to be over fifty, but Wei Wang may not be over seventy at the moment...

Counties and counties in almost all regions have some fraudulent behaviors when counting the elderly over 50 years old, and the central court and even the emperor often adopt a tacit attitude towards this.The reasons for this are not difficult to understand: on the one hand, the inflated population of elderly people does not affect taxes and corvees, and these people are not burdened anyway; The outstanding performance of officials is a good omen for the long life of the country.

The car that Wei Wang is riding in now is called a pu car.The shape is not as big as Feiqian's carriage, and in this kind of carriage, the old man can sit cross-legged instead of sitting upright, and the wheels are wrapped with rush grass to reduce the bumps.

In fact, it is not impossible for Wei Wang to change trains, but he is used to being wrapped in a soft brocade cushion, and then immediately sits upright on the hard wooden board. This is indeed a big gap.

For example, Feiqian's car is like a four-wheel tractor, and Wei Wang's car is a Mercedes-Benz smart. It seems clear at a glance how to choose...

Therefore, Wei Wang politely declined Fei Qian's invitation on the grounds that his legs were bad and it was inconvenient to get in and out of the car.Fei Qian didn't force it, so he nodded and returned to his car, and the group returned to Pingyang waddlingly.

When they arrived at the hall of Pingyang government office, the guests and hosts took their seats.

"Duke Wei thought about it generously. He was a scholar from the east of the country, and the crown of the northerners. Today, he was honored by Deze." Fei Qian said some polite words while inviting tea.

"Absurd praise, absurd praise, I really dare not take it." Wei Wang brushed his three strands of long beard, raised his head and laughed twice, and said, "Fei Zhonglang has made outstanding achievements, Baojing and Futu, he is the king of the upper class, and he is the king of the lower class." Li Min, who has the ambition of Ban Dingyuan, really makes us in the countryside admire him."

Ban Dingyuan?
Is this going to put a high hat on me or is it going to give me a character?

Fei Qian cupped his hands and said: "Compared with Marquis Dingyuan, Qian Hede dare not say meritorious deeds. He only sees that there is no family home of the Han family in the north, and the fishy smell will be stained. I will do my best."

Wei Wang said with a serious face: "Fei Zhonglang is more humble. Shangjun has been occupied for a long time, the land is destroyed, the law is unreasonable, the people are dead, and the family is dead. Volunteer soldiers, relieve the hanging, save water and fire, contribute to the country, and benefit the people. Looking at the young talents in Heluo, Fei Zhonglang is also a leader in the world!"

Although the words are nice, but for Fei Qian, to such a degree, um, how should I put it... I feel like those marketing people in the later generations will boast from beginning to end after entering the door, and they can even say a fart—— Ah, there is a silky and bamboo-like voice, as smooth as Dove...

Fei Qian arched his hands obliquely upwards, expressing his respect for the emperor, and said: "This is the emperor's sage, the soldiers use their lives, and the insignificant talent, just in time for the meeting, dare not be greedy for merit! Wei Gong is too famous, too famous." Who knows what this Wei Wang is planning now, if he admits it triumphantly, maybe he will turn his head around and become arrogant and arrogant.

"Ah... Fei Zhonglang, you are really... humble and unparalleled..." Seeing that Fei Qian didn't take credit for himself or take flattery, Wei Wang couldn't help thinking about it. He looked at Fei Qian again.Originally, I thought that Fei Qian was still a young man, so arrogant, and if I flattered him a bit, even if he wouldn't get carried away, it would inevitably reveal some flaws, but he didn't expect that Fei Qian was as calm as an old official...

　It is said that Cao Cao and Liu Bei cook wine and discuss heroes.

　　The two ate and drank and talked.

　　At this time, the soldiers who served the dishes brought up the dishes. Liu Bei found his thumb stuck in the dish, and said angrily: "My mother! What are you doing with your fingers?!"

　　The soldier hurriedly explained: "My finger is injured, and the doctor ordered it to be warmed at room temperature."

　　Liu Bei scolded again: "Hey mother! It needs to be kept warm and warm, so why put it in the vegetables! You can just put it in the buttocks yourself!!"

　　The soldier replied: "What the envoy said is true. When the food was not served, I did insert myself in the buttocks."
