What did Pei Gai say wrong, so that he gained everyone's peculiar expressions, and Xu Guang also accused Zhang Bin of being a "flattering villain"? In fact, it is very simple, it is the word "lord".

This title was very common in later generations, and through the popularization of novels such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it would be mistaken for an ancient one, but in fact, it was not a customary title at the turn of the two Jin Dynasty. Zhang Bin, Xu Guang and others, whether in front of or behind the scenes, most of them call Shile "Ming Gong", the "Gong" here does not refer to the title of the Duke of Shileji County, just an honorific title, and "Ming" is the modification of the public character, forming a two-syllable vocabulary, very smooth, whether in person or in private, the second person or the third person, all can be used - this is the commonly used title mode among scholars and ministers at that time.

As for Hu people such as Jiao'an and Zhixiong, there were originally not so many rules, and when they followed Shi Le to raise troops, they often called you and me, or called them by their names. When Shile's status improved, they also felt that this was not appropriate, and at first they wanted to use the name of the Hu tribe chief to call Shile, that is, "adult", but then they were ridiculed by the Central Plains people - the Chinese use the word "adult" only when they call the direct elders, are you planning to be his godson? Later, he also used the official title to call Shile, but he didn't feel very agreeable, so he simply learned from Zhang Bin and them, and called him "Ming Gong" directly.

Hu people are used to saying master and slave, and scholars are used to saying monarchs and ministers - master and slave, master and slave, I feel that I am your family servant or even a slave, not a subordinate with status. Therefore, in the mouth of the Central Plains scholars, the word "lord" is not commonly used, and the main word and the public character are combined to form an honorific title, which many people have never even heard of. That's why they suspect that Pei Gai made it up temporarily, and deliberately expressed loyalty to Shile with this nondescript title - I am your loyal servant, and you are the head of my family!

However, when Xu Guang ridiculed Pei Gai behind his back, Zhang Bin did not agree, but read a few sentences from the history book to prove that this word was not coined by Pei Gai, but had a foundation. The title of "lord" was first seen in Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and only in the "Book of Shu", considering that Chen Shou is a Shu person and is easy to obtain first-hand materials, it should not be his fabrication or error. Around the time when Liu Bei entered Shu until he proclaimed himself the king of Hanzhong, including Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other civil servants, and even Ma Chao, a martial artist in the north, this new term can be seen in several of their words.

was not called that before, Zhuge Liang only called Liu Bei "General" in "Longzhong Pair" (Liu Bei was once General Zuo); As for being called the king of Hanzhong, of course, the big guy has to call him "the king".

It can be seen that it was an honorific title added to Liu Bei by Liu Bei's group alone in a specific period, just like for a period of time, Jiangdong ministers liked to call Sun Quan "Supreme" - the initiator was Lu Su. The title of "lord" gradually became popular with the spread of "Three Kingdoms", but in this year, there are not too many people who have read "Three Kingdoms".

In the seventh year of Emperor Yuankang of Jin Hui, it was only fourteen years ago that Chen Shou died, Shang Shulang and Liangzhou Dazhong Zheng Fan played it, saying: "According to the old rule of the book to serve the imperial history Chen Shou as the Three Kingdoms, remarks more exhortations, clear gains and losses, beneficial weather......ing" I hope to be able to officially collect the historical books he wrote, the imperial court issued an order, sent someone to Chen Shou's house to copy the "Three Kingdoms", hidden in the treasury - so from 14 years ago, this set of books really began to face the public.

However, in those days, there was no printing technology, books were copied by hand, the speed of transmission was very slow, and coupled with the political turmoil, there were even fewer scholars who were willing to sit down and read books in peace. Xu Guang had heard of this set of "Three Kingdoms", but he had never seen it at all, so he didn't understand the origin of the word "lord"; Zhang Bin was fortunate enough to read it by chance, and he was about to slowly say the relevant sentences. There was no expression on his face, but Xu Guang could naturally read his subtext - "Stupid X, I don't read much and still have the face to blame others!" ”

Xu Guang was ashamed and embarrassed, annoyed Zhang Bin in his heart, and hated Pei Gai even more - what kind of treasure did you say you played, did you show off the books you had read? Yes, I admit that the children of your family must have much richer book resources than those of us ordinary scholars, but if you are new to the school, you dare to show off like this? You don't know how to write the word "death"!

As for Pei Gai, in his soul, influenced by novels such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he thought that "lord" should be a very common and common title in these years, so he blurted it out without thinking about it. It wasn't until he saw the strange expressions of others, and he repeatedly searched for the remnants of the old Pei Gai on the way back, that he suddenly realized - Damn, I really said the wrong thing!

Compared with the two words "Ming Gong" and "Lord Gong", the former seems to maintain a certain distance and respects his identity, while the latter seems to be much more intimate, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister plus the kiss of the master and servant. No wonder those guys looked at me with such strange eyes, they wouldn't think I was born to coined this word and deliberately flattered Shile, right?! The special Shile himself must have thought so, so he was instantly excited, and grabbed my wrist and said that we will talk more when he comes back......

It's over, it's over, it's going to be treated as a flattering villain from now on, this shame is a big shame! Pei Gai is really regretful, but after thinking about it, the big mistake has been made, and time will not be turned back...... What to do? Simply, if you are wrong, you will be wrong, I will call Shile "Lord" from now on, and go straight to the black! I really didn't make up this word, it has a book, but you don't read too much. My name is Lord Shile, not as Liu Bei, but as Zhuge Liang - what's the matter, I'm not convinced?!

In terms of family background, now Hu Yingzhong naturally regards me as the highest, don't I even have the right to speak in terms of culture? As long as I stick my neck and resolutely refuse to admit my mistakes, and act as if everything is logical, then ...... Then I'm sure I'm right, it's you who are wrong, it's this society!

Pei Gai raised his arm and clenched his fist hard in front of his chest, while his eyes widened, trying to strengthen his confidence. But all of a sudden, I felt a sour and itchy breath rushing to my nose, and I couldn't help but sneeze three times in succession...... Immediately, all the momentum was poured out......

——————————

Pei fell ill.

It is estimated that he waded across the river on the way to escape that day, and slept in wet clothes against a tree in the night wind, and at that time he was already infected with the wind cold, although he has been feeling a little weak in his body for the next few days, but because there is something in his heart, his spirit is highly nervous, and he instinctively mobilizes his body functions to suppress the disease, and it seems that there is no major problem. It wasn't until Shi Le and Zhang Bin all left Xuchang City that Pei Cai's taut string suddenly relaxed, and the sickness took advantage of the weakness, and as a result, he sneezed a few times before returning to the door of the courtyard where he was staying, and he felt a little dizzy in his head.

The old servant opened the door and welcomed him into the courtyard. This old servant was sent by Jian Dao himself shortly after Zhang Bin left yesterday, including this old man, a total of four slaves and maids, and four additional Hu soldiers were sent to guard them - obviously to guard Pei's aunt and nephew to prevent them from escaping.

The four slaves and maids were three men and one woman, one old man and two young women, and the woman was the wife of an old servant, who was also in her forties. According to Jian Dao, these are all residents of the city, and they are now bought, but Pei Gai observed coldly, at least those two young people are not like honest people - they are young, and they don't lack arms and legs, they haven't been pulled by Hu Jun, and they can survive until today before they start selling themselves as slaves, so the ghost believes him! You'd rather say it's a new kidnap from the Okura—they must have been sent to spy on you.

Let's say that he entered the courtyard in a drowsy state, Yun'er saw it from a distance, turned around and went back to the main room to report to Pei's family, saying that Xiaolang's face was red, and he didn't know whether he had drunk too much wine or was angry with others. When Pei Shi heard this, he was startled, so he called Pei to come and see him, and the more he looked at his nephew, the more wrong his eyes became, and he reached out and touched his forehead: "It's so hot, Wen Yue is afraid that he is sick!" ”

She insisted that Yun'er and the slaves wait for Pei to lie down. Pei Gai didn't feel it too obvious at first, but when he lay down on the mat and covered the quilt, he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and he couldn't help but shiver. Pei Shi hurriedly sent someone to invite Jian Dao to come over for diagnosis and treatment, Jian Dao took Pei Gai's pulse, and nodded his head: "The wind and cold enter the body, and it is indeed sick." On the spot, he took the pen and opened the prescription, but then he put the prescription in his arms again, and laughed: "I was negligent, there is no medicine shop in the city, and there is medicine in the army, and I will send someone to send it when I am ready." ”

Pei Gai secretly complained. He knew that the level of medical care in these years was very low, maybe a common cold could kill people, and those herbs may not be reliable, quack doctors killing people is a common thing...... You can't afford to get sick like this, do you? I wanted to take refuge in Huying for the time being and find an opportunity to flee to Jiangdong, but if I just died of illness here, the coffin would be closed, and the stain of Hu would be difficult to wash away......

Maybe there will be a note on the "Book of Jin" in the future, attached to the back of the "Biography of Pei", writing: "He gave birth to two sons, the long name is Song, and the second name should be." Pei Caizi Wen covenant, from Sima Yue's eastward expedition, the army was defeated and surrendered to Shile ......"

And more importantly: if he leaves, what will Pei do? How will she deal with herself in the Hu camp?

Thinking of this, Pei Cai hurriedly stretched out his hand from the quilt to Jian Dao and said, "Please take the party and let me see." ”

Jian Dao frowned slightly, and asked, "Does Mr. Pei also understand medical skills?" "It's really omnipotent, you won't steal my job in the future, right? Although he was reluctant, he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to present the prescription with both hands.

Pei Gai had never been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, but in the remaining memories of this life, there was still a little bit of relevant knowledge - there were also many literati at that time who would read medical books in their spare time, because the medical resources were too lacking, and they knew some of them, but they could be prepared for urgent needs, so that they would not be unable to find a doctor temporarily when their family members were sick, so they had to watch the condition deteriorate.

After a general look at the prescriptions, they are all common medicinal materials such as bupleurum and parsnip, which have the effect of clearing the pyrolysis table. Pei Gai is not an expert, so he can't see the good thing, but seeing that there is no tiger and wolf medicine, he is a little relieved. So he handed back the prescription and nodded to Jian Dao: "Undertake more treatment." "I can't help it, I can only believe this guy for the time being.

Jian Dao walked out with the prescription in his arms, and just after he was discharged from the hospital, he saw a fast horse roaring towards him, and he came to a sudden stop in front of him. Jian Zhifan was startled, almost didn't let the horse's hooves kick, and hurriedly avoided the side. But immediately the knight refused to let him go, and waved his whip to whip a whip, and the strong wind almost rolled up the towel of Jian Dao. Jian Dao hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed the scarf, raised his head to take a closer look, and immediately smiled all over his face: "General Zhi." ”

Immediately, the knight was left behind to guard Hu General Zhi Qu Liu, and when he saw him with a black face, he shouted and asked, "Why are you here?" Can Pei Lang be in the house? ”

Jian Dao replied that I was here to see Pei Lang...... Zhiqu Liuyi frowned: "Is it serious?" Jian Dao nodded and said no...... But don't worry, the general, I'll go back and put together the medicine and send it over, and I will ensure that within three to five days, his condition will improve.

Looking at the expression on Zhi Quliu's face, there seemed to be a look of regret, and after thinking about it, he immediately turned the horse's head. He took care of Jian and said, "When Pei Lang is well, come and report to me quickly." As he spoke, he waved his whip and walked away.

Jian Daoxin said that he couldn't think of it, not only did Mr. Zhang value Pei Gai and ordered me to take care of him, but even this Hu general rushed to see him, and he didn't know what he wanted to say to Pei Cai...... I must be in good spirits, and hurry up to cure him of his illness, and sell his personal favor to succeed, which will certainly be of great benefit to my future prospects.

In fact, Jian Dao thought about it, and Zhi Quliu didn't come to visit Pei Gai this time, but wanted to clean up Pei Gai.
