The highest-ranking old man Wei was already full of wine and food, and stopped the elephant chopstick.

Elephant chopsticks, in fact, are ivory chopsticks. It's just that in the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was no such thing as chopsticks, and they followed the name of the two Han Dynasty, mostly chopsticks or baskets.

The ancients used a chopstick to eat with a chopstick, and there were many rules.

For example, when eating at the same table with the elders, the elders need to move the chopsticks first, which is basic common sense, and modern people also know it.

But what is not well known is (at least Wei Jue didn't know at first) that only after the elders with the highest rank have eaten and stopped chopsticks, the others can stop one after another. And the chopsticks should be placed neatly on the plate or bowl, indicating "no more eating, you use it slowly". The last action is a bit of a day, but it does have Chinese origin, just like tatami mats.

Wei Jue's family life is like a common sense of ancient life every day.

Here is a special mention of the old man Wei put down the elephant chopsticks first, just to show that Wei Jue and Wei Qi brothers can also generously say that they have finished eating.

Brother Zao's way of covering up for his younger brother is to tell a story to distract everyone's attention after stopping, so that the Wang family doesn't care too much about the bowl in front of Wei Jue.

Wei Qi asked Wei Jue: "Does my brother know how the second uncle's beef was obtained?"

Wei Jue thought for a while and recalled what the Bai Ri Wang Clan had said in Qiyun Tower: "It is said that it was won by a bet with Uncle Wang, and it is called Eight Hundred Miles, which is a domineering name." ”

Wei Jue can remember this name because he was forced to recite "eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turn over the outside sound" when he was in middle school. Wei Xiaoju, who was still a young man, couldn't understand why "eight hundred miles" could refer to a cow, and now he found out that he was so close to the origin of historical allusions.

"It's domineering enough, but it's a pity that the owner who named him ......" lacks a string in his brain. Before Brother Zao's story was told, he couldn't help but laugh first.

The owner of the eight hundred miles, Uncle Wang Guo, is the younger brother of the late Empress Dowager Wang Yuanji, the uncle of Emperor Wu of Jin, and the uncle and grandfather of Princess Fanchang. He is very unobtrusive. Wang Yuanji is the queen mother, and her body advocates frugality, but Wang Kai's younger brother is a pit sister, who loves to compete with others and fight for wealth, and is a well-known loser. And most importantly...... He fought for wealth and lost, and for a time it became a joke in the entire family circle.

Princess Fanchang doesn't like her lawless uncle and grandfather very much, although she herself is quite strong and domineering, but she doesn't like others like this.

Therefore, as soon as she heard that Uncle Wang Guo's brother lost to Erniang's brother, Princess Fanchang not only would not be unhappy, but also stopped the elephant chopstick, and listened to Brother Zao's gossip with great interest. cough, the deep palace is boring, in addition to becoming a fighter in the palace fight, the princess and the palace concubines are left with the hobby of gossip.

Although Uncle Wang and Second Uncle Wang are both surnamed Wang, they have no inevitable relationship.

Wang Guo's uncle is named Wang Kai, his father is a Confucian Wang Su, and his ancestral home is Donghai (now Shandong);

Wang's second uncle's name is Wang Ji, born in a family, a sentence of Taiyuan King, everyone knows it, no one knows it.

These two kings are all living the lives of the children of the family and living the magical characters of the nouveau riche.

First, there were Wang Kai and Shi Chong to fight for the rich, and then there was Wang Ji to make money after the mountain (with five baht money to push the wall of the hunting ground), beating is a group of idle and poor toss masters.

Although Uncle Wang Guo's fight for wealth lost to Shi Chong, he thought that he was the second richest man in the world, and he was very unaccustomed to Wang Ji, who was the latecomer. But the most amazing thing about Uncle Wang Guo's person is that he doesn't look down on Wang Ji, and on the other hand, he always likes to play with Wang Ji, just like when he had to play with Shi Chong, he has a slight tendency to tremble.

On this day, there was nothing to do, and two famous idle people from the Western Jin Dynasty met in Beibi Mountain on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Well, it was Uncle Wang who rushed all the way to the north to show off, but he still had to pretend to be a girl who accidentally met Wang Ji.

This time, the theme of Uncle Wang's show off is eight hundred miles, he often makes people rub the horns of the cow shiny, and dress the cow as a horse, and accidentally blew a popular trend of decorating the cow with horses in the family circle of Luoyang City. Uncle Wang, who prides himself on being a popular weather vane, naturally wants to come to Wang Ji to shake here. Life motto, don't show off, rather die.

Wang Ji's reaction to this......

Before that, it is necessary to introduce the background information of the second uncle of the Wang family.

Wang Ji was originally his father's second sister-in-law, with a perfect decathlon brother on top and a sister-in-law in a caring little padded jacket (Wei Jue's mother) below. is similar to Wei Ji's current situation, since he was a child, his family never expected Wang Ji to be very productive, and he only spoiled him to death. Wei Ji is because he has an adult soul, which is difficult to resist the sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism (hey), but Wang Ji is a real native, and he is taken for granted to be a bear child, the kind of bear that he hates not to go to the sky.

As a result, there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good fortune and misfortune, the perfect eldest brother unfortunately died in battle, and Wang Ji, who was second in line, inexplicably became the heir of the first-class family of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Although with the joint efforts of the family, father and princess's wife, Wang Ji was pushed to a high position, but in his own heart, he is actually the prodigal son who made heaven and earth at the beginning, and he is simply a big villain.

The villain is not scary, but he is afraid that the villain is cultured.

As a perverse intellectual, a famous snake spirit disease in the Western Jin Dynasty who dared to move to Beipi because of a conflict with his brother-in-law (brother-in-law) emperor, Wang Ji's composition is like this: he has brains and is not afraid of the powerful.

As a result, Wang Kai's thousands of miles of showing off, under the calculation of Wang Ji's classmates, became a thousand miles of beef.

Wang Ji is actually not a calculation, but a conspiracy. He first complimented Uncle Wang Guo's superb archery skills, and after a while of nonsense and coaxing the other party, he suddenly cut into the topic and said that he wanted to compare archery with Uncle Wang Guoli in his golden palace, and the bet was Uncle Wang's 800 miles. Wang Ji is wilted and wilted, and what he likes to do is to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, he said to Uncle Wang: "I definitely can't compare to you, but I still want to use 10 million dollars as a bet, try it." ”

Although Uncle Wang is rich, he is also greedy for money, and when he sees the kind of sharp eyes, and he believes that his archery skills are good, he agrees to this gamble.

Countless lessons of blood and tears have told us that the brainless consequence of being coaxed by a little bit of petty profit in front of us is to be deceived by a liar and go bankrupt.

Uncle Wang didn't know before, but soon he would be a man from the Wang Ji Church.

Wang Ji shot first and hit the target with one arrow. After retreating, before Uncle Wang Guo's reaction could be made, Wang Ji had already shouted at his subordinates to cut the famous cow named Eight Hundred Miles under the knife, and his blood was steaming.

The most immoral thing is that Wang Ji only let people take a string of beef hearts, and after eating, he patted his ass and left, and the taste of a famous cow was just such a disgusting appearance. Wang Ji's inner activity is obvious—let your old boy show off to me, heh, and finally show it off to my mouth, right?

Uncle Wang's one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas went out of his body, but he really couldn't do anything about Wang Ji.

If you tell Emperor Wu of Jin, Emperor Wu of Jin may not know who to help. Although Emperor Wu of Jin was very indulgent to Wang Kai's uncle, he was also very indulgent to Princess Changshan and Wang Ji, his sister and brother-in-law. Princess Changshan has an eye disease, blind since childhood, has always made Emperor Wu of Jin feel pity; Wang Ji's own talent is real, although he has been in conflict with Emperor Wu of Jin recently, but Emperor Wu of Jin still wants Wang Ji to go back to help him, but Wang Ji himself picks and does not do it.

Therefore, the internal contradictions among the people such as Uncle Wang Guo's uncle and Wang Yuma, Emperor Wu of Jin has always been unmanageable.

The bet has been placed, the cow is dead, and Uncle Wang can only consider himself unlucky. But he couldn't bear to eat his pet, so in the end, he simply sent the beef to Wang Ji's Beibi Villa out of sight and out of mind, regardless of whether Wang Jile wanted it or not.

Of course, Wang Ji was willing to ask for it. He not only generously accepted it with his blind wife, Princess Changshan, but also generously shared it with a group of relatives and friends in Beijing, and even Emperor Wu of Jin was not left behind, and publicized the matter in a big way.

The spread of gossip is always very fast, and after blessing the celebrity effect, it is even so fast that the uncle of the kingdom has not returned to Beijing, and the capital is once again full of his legends.

Even Brother Zao, who was at Master Zhang Hua's house and didn't listen to anything outside the window, listened to it. Now it's time to get the table to learn to talk and solve my brother's little embarrassment.

As a little expert in house fighting, Wang has already seen through the little tricks played by his two sons, but he has not broken it. A good mother always knows when to play stupid.

After the story ended, Princess Fanchang was the first to laugh out loud without giving face to her uncle, and said bluntly: "He deserves it!"

The other juniors of the Wei family laughed after him.

Only the old man Wei Qian frowned, and his focus was not on the uncle Wang Guo, who was always stupid, but on Wang Ji, the sister-in-law of his in-laws, who was really getting more and more ...... Can't describe it. No matter what, something big will definitely happen!

It's just that how to manage it, how to manage it, still needs to be carefully studied.

As in-laws, if they point fingers indiscriminately, it will not be helping, but making enemies.

In the end, Old Man Wei locked his eyes on Wei Jue, who had not smiled from beginning to end. The old man touched his white beard, thinking that he was worthy of being his valued grandson, who could be prepared for danger in times of peace and see the turbulent dark tide under the flashy surface, good!

Wei Jue actually ......

I was listening to Tuoba Liuxiu give him a bet between Wang Ji and Wang Kai, and there is indeed something in history, which is recorded in "Shishuo Xinyu" and "Book of Jin". In fact, Second Uncle Wang, whether it is in the Wei and Jin Dynasty readings such as "Book of Jin" or "The World Speaks New Language", is a high-frequency word.

Let's put it this way, Wang Ji successfully managed to be a shining snake spirit in other people's ordinary lives.
