Chapter 488: Touting
Outside Binh Duong, the fighting has been going on for some time. The original mess www.biquge.info all over the place, with potholes, and those places where flies and insects fly around, have gradually been filled with sand. The dead corpses and those stumps and broken arms were also taken away and buried, but fortunately, the weather temperature is not too high now, otherwise a large amount of lime is needed to suppress the occurrence of the plague.
The weeds on the official road outside the city have been largely cleared, but the ragged folk are like human-shaped barnyard grass, swaying and thin......
For these people, they never dare to ask for anything, as long as they have a mouthful of food to eat and a field to plant, they have the hope of living, but there are also some people who are often insatiable, as if no matter how much they eat, they can't fill the shallow folds in the stomach.
Fei Qian's convoy of honor arrived ten miles outside Pingyang and stopped.
Wei Liu's heart was a little uncertain, and he arched his hand towards Fei Qian and said, "Stay and check one or two." ”
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "That's it, just wait here." ”
Wei Liu didn't dare to say more, so he retreated to the side nervously.
Fei Qian swept Wei Liu with the corner of his eye, and did not speak, quietly sat in the car with his hands in his hands.
The incense car, well, no, it's just a simple car fight, the three-sided guard plate, the paint surface is also a little old, and some places show damage.
BMW, well, no, it's just two ordinary variegated horses, driving side by side, the coat color is also a little dull, and pulling the cart is a little sluggish.
If it weren't for the fact that the three old guards of Linfen were old, Fei Qian didn't want to come by car at all, but this is a courtesy, and some still have to be done, but if Fei Qian wants to spend floating money to slap a swollen face and become fat, it feels necessary.
After about half an hour, I saw a pair of chariots and horses coming from afar, and a flag stood in front of it, and the word "Wei" fluttered in the wind on it.
Getting closer, Fei Qian saw an old man sitting at the front of the Wei family's carriage, dressed in a gorgeous robe, with wide robes and large sleeves, although his hair was white, his face was still ruddy, and his three long beards were fluttering in the wind, but he also had a sense of being like a fairy in the wind.
Fei sneaked out of the car, took a few steps forward and stood still, smiling and arching his hands.
Wei's carriage and horse got closer and closer, and when they came to a near front, they stopped and raised a puff of smoke and dust, and met them......
Huang Cheng Cheng was behind Fei Zhen, frowned, and glanced at Wei Liu beside him.
"It's a sin to be old and bad at doing things, and it's a sin to let Fei Zhonglang wait for a long time!" Wei Wang, the old man on the carriage of the Wei family, smiled heartily and said in a loud voice, but he said sins on his lips, but his body did not have any intention of moving to get out of the car, but he just arched his hand with the hand holding the dove cane, which was regarded as a salute.
The old man with a dove cane, you can not worship the official, just wave your hands.
Fei Qian squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Wei Gongxian has been instructed, he has worked hard all the way, and he is really a model for the younger generation, I don't know if I am lucky enough to travel with the car?" ”
In the same car?
Wei Wang pondered in his heart, 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 dust, the car in front of him was dilapidated and old, and even the paint had fallen off in some places, and the car box as a whole was simply made of a piece of wood, not even a brocade mat, and only two horses were used to pull the cart, which was simply ......
Wei Wang couldn't help but add three more points of disdain in his heart, and he refused to change cars at the moment. What is the difference between this kind of carriage and horse? If you sit down, won't you lose face for Wei?
The Han Dynasty was fifty years old.
For the elderly, the rules of the Han Dynasty are still quite good, fifty can eat fine grain, do not serve forced labor, sixty will be issued by the government to eat meat, not military service, seventy dove cane, see the official does not worship, if there is a bully and disobedient, with great disrespect, do not forgive.
The position of the third elder is also more than fifty, but Wei Wang may not be over seventy years old at the moment......
Almost all counties and counties have some fraudulent behaviors when counting the elderly over 50 years old, and the central court and even the emperor have adopted a tacit attitude towards this. The reasons for this are not difficult to understand: on the one hand, the inflated increase in the elderly population does not affect taxes and forced labor, and these people are no longer burdened anyway; On the other hand, there are many longevity in the countryside, which can not only show that the emperor is sage, and the local officials have made outstanding achievements, but also a good omen for the long-term prosperity of the country.
The kind of car that Wei Wang is sitting in now is called a cart. The shape is not as large as that of Fei Qian's carriage, and in this kind of carriage, the old man can sit cross-legged, not have to sit upright, and on the wheels, there is a pampas wrap to reduce the bumps.
In fact, it's not impossible for Wei Wang to change around, but he got used to the soft brocade mat wrapping, and then immediately went to sit on the hardwood board, this is indeed too big a gap.
For example, at this time, Feiqian's car is like a four-wheeled tractor, and then Weiwang's car is a Mercedes-Benz smart......
Therefore, Wei Wang politely declined Fei Qian's invitation on the grounds that his legs and feet were not good and it was inconvenient to get on and off the bus. Fei Qian didn't force it, so he nodded, returned to his car, and the group staggered back to Pingyang.
When they arrived at the Ya Hall of Pingyang Mansion, the guests and hosts sat down.
"When Wei Gongya measured, the Hedong Guoshi, the northerner crowned, today Cheng Deze, it is a real honor." Fei Qian said some polite words while inviting tea.
"False praise, false praise, I really dare not take it." Wei Wang brushed three strands of long beard, raised his head and laughed twice, and said, "Fei Zhonglang has made outstanding achievements, protecting the land and recovering the land, assisting the king in the upper ranks, and the people in the lower An, and has the ambition of Ban Dingyuan, which really makes our countrymen admire. ”
Ban Dingyuan?
Is this going to give me a top hat or is it going to define me?
Fei Qian arched his hand and said: "Compared with the Marquis of Dingyuan, Qian He De does not dare to say anything, just look at the Han family in the north There is no mulberry left, and the bloody body will be dyed, do your best." ”
Wei Wang said solemnly: "Fei Zhonglang is not more humble. Shangjun has fallen for a long time, the land is ruined, Lun is unreasonable, people are ruined, Fei Zhonglang is handsome, Yarong's arms, vertical and horizontal, driving volunteers, unraveling and hanging, saving water and fire, contributing to the community, virtue in the people, looking at the young talents of Heluo, Fei Zhonglang is also the world's leader! ”
Although the words are very good, but for Fei Qian, such a degree, well, how to say it...... It feels like the marketers of later generations who walked in the door and boasted from beginning to end, even farting - ah, there was a silky bamboo-like voice, as smooth as Dove......
Fei Qian arched his hand obliquely upward, expressing his respect for the Son of Heaven, and said: "This is the Son of Heaven Shengming, the soldier uses his life, and the talent of the subtle is just in time, and he does not dare to be greedy for merit!" Wei Gong has a good reputation, too much reputation. "Who knows what this Wei Wang is going to do now, if he proudly admits it, maybe as soon as he turns his head, he will become arrogant and arrogant.
"Ah...... Fei Zhonglang, really...... Humble and unparalleled...... "Wei Wang saw that Fei Qian did not claim credit for himself, nor did he eat flattery, and he couldn't help but think in vain in his heart, and he took a few more glances at Fei Qian again by drinking tea. I originally thought that Fei Qian was still more or less young, how arrogant he was, and if he flattered him more, even if he would not get carried away, he would inevitably show some flaws, but he didn't expect Fei Qian to be so calm and calm as an old official......
