There are only two possibilities for calling a man "a certain man" in person: one is that the wife nicknames her husband, and the other is that the elders are closer to the younger generation (for example, the good of the family) and they are more eye-catching. So Pei should come up and not give Qu Bin a good look - "The word 'Pei Lang' can also be called by you?" ”

Even if you look a few years older than me, you haven't been ranked or talked about seniority, what kind of seniors are you stubborn? Are we familiar with each other? Shi Le's position is there, he wants to call me, no one dares to stop him; As for Zhang Bin, I respect him as an old man, and he only dared to call him that after getting my permission; Which green onion and which garlic are you? I can't control what I call it behind my back, I say the word "Pei Lang" in front of you, you are wearing a headscarf, why don't you understand any politeness? !

Qu Bin also knew that he was reckless, and he was choked by Pei Gai on the spot and had nothing to say. He forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, snorted lightly, and simply ignored the other party's words-"Cheng Sima summoned Yu Qing, but you can go with me immediately." ”

Pei Gai glanced at him obliquely: "Cheng Yao?" Why didn't he come to see me in person? ”

"Cheng Sima's status is noble, how can he ......"

"Honorable?" Pei Gai was like hearing some ridiculous joke in the world, and suddenly laughed wildly, which made Qu Bin's head full of confusion - "Ru...... What are you laughing at? Pei Cai finally stopped laughing, and then looked at Qu Bin with white eyes: "I want to ask for advice, Cheng Yao can be evaluated by entering the middle school, how many grades do you get?" ”

When Qu Bin heard this, he was stupid on the spot - "I, I don't know, I don't ......"

In the Cao Wei era, Chen Qun newly created the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" on the basis of the two Han Dynasty inspection system, which was used as an important credential for the imperial court to investigate the merits of scholars and determine the official career. To put it simply, each state has a large zhongzheng, and each county has a small zhongzheng, which is responsible for evaluating the scholars in the jurisdiction, and the comprehensive family background, morality, and ability are divided into nine levels from top to bottom - it is the "nine grades of zhongzheng".

Because the officials at all levels are gradually monopolized by the big families, so the evaluation pays more and more attention to the family, the family background, and not the reality, to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, there is a saying that "the upper grade has no cold door, and the lower grade has no power" - that is, if you have no status in your family, it is impossible to be rated as the top grade, and if your family is powerful, it will definitely not fall into the lower grade. And because most of the power of the dynasties was in the hands of famous families such as Wang, Xie, and Huan, later generations also wrote "inferior and powerless clans" as "inferior and undescended clans".

In fact, this trend appeared in the Western Jin Dynasty, and although it has not yet really taken shape, it is very common for the DPRK and China to be difficult to be rated as the top grade without a background. The Jizhou Cheng family is not a prestigious family in itself, and in Pei Gai's memory, there are no high-ranking officials with the surname Cheng in recent years-then you Cheng Yao will be a middle-grade one.

sneered at the moment: "Let's go and ask, if I can get up, I will worship each other in person." ”

The top grade of "the top grade without the cold door" originally referred to the second and third grades, that is, the upper middle and the upper and lower grades - the upper grade has never been empty, because in the cognition of Confucian scholars, throughout the ages, only Confucius can be ranked first, who dares to compare with Confucius? Pei's family has a good background, and the Pei family in Hedong has been developing since the end of the Han Dynasty, and there are high-ranking officials with more than 2,000 stones, so he will definitely not fall into the middle grade. And his brother Pei Song was rated as up and down, he was lucky, because he was born late, and when it was his turn to evaluate, it happened to be when the imperial court set things right and pardoned the two brothers from exile.

Then only the top grade can overpower him, so he will say, unless Cheng Yao is the top and as great as Confucius, let him come to see me, there is no reason for me to worship him first.

He put it a little big, if he said that Cheng Yao was of the highest quality, he would go to meet him, maybe Qu Bin was confused, and he really ran back to ask; But it is said that he has to be superior in order to suppress him, no matter how stupid Qu Bin is, he knows that it is impossible - can he really raise Confucius underground? At the moment, his eyebrows were raised: "Cheng Ziyuan is the Sima in the army, and he went to visit him." "Do we care about the integrity of the body? Since we are in the army, we have to talk about official positions.

Pei Cai pouted: "I am a free rider and a marquis of Nanchang County-if he is the second official residence, I should go to worship." ”

According to the Jin system, there are only three dukes and dukes at all levels who are higher than him, as well as the special advancement of the second rank, hussars, chariots and other generals, governors of festivals, and the founding titles. I also want to know that Shi Le has this qualification in the army, can Cheng Yao still overshadow Shi Le?

Qu Bin was still struggling: "This ...... You are no longer a Jin official, how can you still judge your superiority by Jin quality? Now in the city, the following generals are Cheng Sima as the largest ......"

"The lord puts me in the 'gentleman's camp', unless the battalion governor and deputy governor, the rest are colleagues, what is the difference between superior and inferior?" You are all blind to your own names, and the only one who is recognized by Shi Le is Zhang Bin, the governor of the "Gentleman's Battalion" - even Zhang Bin has to touch me himself, has Cheng Yao become the deputy governor? Who is he to call me to meet me?

When Qu Bin heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth and was speechless. Not only was he not there the arrogance of banging on the door at the beginning, but his face was pale, his hands were still trembling slightly, and he had the urge to immediately hug his head and jump away, so as not to be humiliated again. Although Pei Gai's words are all about distinguishing himself from Cheng Yao, it doesn't matter what he has to do with Qu Mofeng, the problem is that he is here to help Cheng Yao pass on words and run errands, and the other party doesn't even pay attention to Cheng Yao, so how do you think of yourself? I'm afraid that in Pei Gai's opinion, Cheng Yao is a small official, and he is not even a beggar on the street.

Originally, in the minds of the children of the family, only the Son of Heaven is slightly taller, and peers can make friends, and the rest are all rubbish, from subordinates to farmers and beggars, so what's the difference?

If it weren't for the worry that it would be difficult to explain to Cheng Sima if he went back like this, it is estimated that Qu Bin would have turned around and fled. He was in a daze here, not knowing how to deal with it, and the servant who followed behind him spoke-that is, the guy who was ordered to knock on the door just now, is not an official member of the "Gentleman's Battalion", but only a dependent of Qu Bin, and is also like Pei Xiong, who doesn't know a lot of big characters, and doesn't understand what the master is talking to the kid surnamed Pei - he leaned forward a little and asked what should we do now?

Qu Bin was reminded by him, and immediately gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go, get him up first." "After talking for so long, you have been sitting firmly on the bed with Hu, and I stood in front of me, as if I had come to repay you - in this atmosphere, you must be arrogant, and your tone is also horizontal, how can I suppress you? Why don't I send someone to pick you up first, and see if you still have so much nonsense, and you are still crazy!

The servant received the order, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and went straight to Pei Cai. Seeing that his big fists were clenched tightly, he didn't just want to come over and get people up, maybe he would directly punch him in front of him. Pei Caixin said that this is really "Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable...... Fortunately, there is no one around me.

Immediately, he glanced at Pei Xiong, who was standing beside him, out of the corner of his eye, and said casually: "This must not be a general." "You can't beat Zhiquliu, this kind of guy shouldn't be a problem. Pei Xiong immediately bowed down and clenched his fists: "The villain obeys orders." Then he stepped forward, raised his right arm, raised his palm, and just gently shoved the shoulder of the Qu family servant - but when he heard a miserable scream, the guy went out more than a foot away with the fight, and rolled directly out of the gate!

Before Qu Bin could react, Pei Gai pointed at him with the corner of his mouth again: "This one shouldn't be surnamed Zhi." Pei Xiong understood, twisted his waist, turned sideways, and the arm, which was almost thicker than Qu Bin's thighs, went straight to his chest. Qu Bin was shocked, hurriedly waved his hands in front of his chest, and shouted: "Don't come, I'll go!" Then he really held his head—in fact, he was holding on to a scarf—and fled.

In fact, in Pei Gai's opinion, with Pei Xiong's strength, if he really wanted to beat someone, a scribe like Qu Mofeng would not even be able to hide, and he would not even be able to escape, but when he walked towards Qu Bin, his movements were a full beat slower than the previous push of the servant. Obviously, this is the water, it is estimated that Qu Mofeng is a well-dressed person after all, growing up in this era, Pei Xiong has an instinctive inferiority complex in the face of officials and scholars, so ah-frightened, he wants to be able to recognize each other, and he flashes people, that is the best.

At Pei Gai's gesture, Pei Xiong quickly walked over and closed the door, and went on the latch. Pei Gai instructed: "In the future, when you are at the door, you will hand it over to Pei Xiong." As for you...... "glancing at the old servant who was still rubbing his waist beside him, he really couldn't think of what he could do—light work was meaningless, heavy work was not enduring—and at last it was: "Go and rest." ”

Pei Xiong closed the door, and then returned to Pei Gai's side, as if there was some reverence in his eyes, and he grinned and praised: "The head of the family is so powerful." ”

Pei Gai smiled: "Oh, I'm amazing? Can you understand what we are saying? ”

Pei Xiong shook his head again and again: "The villain doesn't understand much, but when he saw that guy first opened his mouth, and then became angry, and wanted to do it, he must have lost the upper hand." ”

Pei Gai smiled smugly at first, but soon the smile froze. He finally got up from the bed, put his hands behind his back, and said to himself, "It's just that he was forced to do it by name...... How can you force people with fame and position, how can you suppress people with power? Suppressing people with power, how can you kill people with force...... "Let's go back to the house and continue to write my calligraphy."
