"Don't get me wrong, whoever told you about ethnic differences, I talked about character differences. For example, you are also a Xianbei person, but you are so desperate, hard-working, and more loyal than Chinese slaves and maids; And your kindred, under the leadership of that Murong Diao, often stirred up trouble in the frontier, burning, killing and looting the Chinese. ”

This is not necessarily true, people are in different environments, different upbringing, then what he does will be different. If I were not a woman who was sold as a servant, but a strong man living in the Xianbei tribe, maybe I would have followed Xianbei to fight against the Chinese at this moment; If Murong Diao was not born in a Xianbei aristocratic family, but was just an ordinary Xianbei commoner, then he might be shepherding sheep in a pasture now. ”

"I don't want to discuss these big truths with you, so let's just say that at present, although you Hu people are barbaric, you Hu slaves are very good, such as that Hun slave." Ah Yan led the words to Ah Zhuang again, "Loyal to the young master, he is also very good to us, he saved us twice." The first time we were rescued from the deer cart; Yesterday, in order to relieve us, he risked being beaten by his son, and suffered such a great crime......"

Ah Yan was describing Ah Zhuang's goodness with great interest, and she didn't want Ah Miao's face to suddenly become gloomy: "Although he saved us, I warn you, don't treat him as a good person!" ”

"What? He's your savior, we should find a way to be grateful to him, how can you say that? ”

"It's true that he saved me, and he should be grateful to him, but it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that there is a fierce and bad aura hidden in his eyes, and he is loyal to his son now, and I am afraid it will be difficult to say in the future."

"How is that possible? How do you see that? Don't wronged people for no reason. Ah Yan listened to Ah Miao's words and felt inexplicable.

In fact, Ah Miao's statement is not unfounded. On the day when Ah Zhuang killed Liu San Mazi, was chased by Shu Yan and Xiao Mo, accidentally crashed into the wall of the Shi family's courtyard, fainted, and was later rescued by Ah Miao, Ah Miao found an inconspicuous bloodstain on his clothes, and from his eyes and words, he could also feel unease and panic. Ah Miao had suspicions at the time, but she changed her mind again: it is normal for a person who is hungry and cold and rescued from fainting to have disturbed eyes and speech, and as for the bloodstains, I dare not guarantee that it was not scratched by himself when he climbed over the wall. Therefore, at that time, Ah Miao was just blindly suspicious, and there was no evidence, let alone wronging good people. But even so, she was always wary of Ah Zhuang.

Ah Miao also felt that she was too reckless to speak, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and said: "Oh, this is just my guess, it is our sister's whisper, you must not tell others." ”

Both of them thought that Xiahoumen and Xun Bao were friends of Gongzi and frequent visitors to the house, so they were very relieved and hid here. Suddenly, Aji ran over in a panic and shouted: "Two sisters, quickly, the two sons have given medicine to the young master and run out of the house." ”

"What kind of medicine are you taking? A calming medicine? "Ah Miao thinks that Biyu has been in poor condition recently, so what kind of medicine might the two sons bring.

"Five stones."

"Five stones?" Ah Miao and Ah Yan were frightened when they heard this, and stood up with a "whoosh", "Does the mistress know?" ”

"I don't know." Aggie was so frightened that he stammered a little.

"Where did you go?"

"I just went out the back door, saying that I was going to Xingsan, but I didn't say where to go."

Taking care of Biyu's diet and health is the first task given by the old lady to Ah Miao and Ah Yan, and the young master's food increase and decrease and mental condition must be reported to the old lady from time to time. What Biyu eats every day, how hot and cold the weather is every day, whether to increase or lose clothes, how many times he sleeps, how many times he gets up at night, and even how much he urinates, they know better than himself.

But now, Childe has taken the five stone powder that the head of the family has expressly forbidden. How good is that? The two knew that the responsibility was heavy, but they didn't go back to the Shihui couple, not only for fear of being punished, but also because the front hall was too far away, and this time and again, it would definitely delay a lot of work. The main thing now is that you should go to someone right away. Childe's personal people are all there, only Ah Zhuang is missing, but only Ah Zhuang can drive, but fortunately, Ah Zhuang's lower place is very close to here.

Ah Zhuang ate eight bowls of porridge yesterday, and he was very tight at the time, but now he is fine. He was born in a poor family of the Huns, no cattle and no sheep, since he was a child, he was often hungry and full, sometimes he may not be able to eat for two days, and when he has food, he can eat two days at a time, which has trained his super large stomach and extraordinary digestive ability. Therefore, although the porridge he ate was equal to the amount of Ah Miao and Ah Yan combined, the combined stomachs of those two weak women were not as big as him alone.

Ah Zhuang only drives Biyu in Shifu, so as long as Biyu doesn't go out on weekdays, he is very idle. He was lying leisurely, reminiscing about yesterday's Miao. Suddenly, he saw Aji break in, startled him, and then saw Ah Miao and Ah Yan running over. He sat up immediately, grinning and not knowing what to say, when he heard Ah Miao say to him almost commandingly: "Ah Zhuang, hurry, set the car." ”

"What are you going for?" Ah Zhuang asked in surprise.

Ah Miao hurriedly said: "The son took the five stones, and I don't know where to go." ”

Ah Zhuang said with a smile: "It's just a matter of taking five stones, and the streets are full of scattered people, what's the fuss." ”

Everyone scolded: "What do you know! Hurry up and set up the car. ”

"Oh." Ah Zhuang saw that Ah Miao and the others were so anxious, so he had to pack up.

The Shi family drove a lot, the car was stored in one place, and the horses, cows, and deer used for driving were kept in captivity elsewhere, and it took a while to put the car in place, not to mention that the back door could not pass the car, so Ah Miao and they couldn't wait for Ah Zhuang to drive the car well, so they chased down from the back door first.

"Hey, you haven't said which car you're driving yet?" Ah Zhuang suddenly remembered and shouted at their backs, but Ah Miao and the others only cared about running forward, who cared about him? Ah Zhuang laughed to himself, "A young man goes out, what is there to worry about?" Are you afraid that the wolf will eat it or that someone will rob it? Worth all your panic? It's ridiculous. He chuckled as he picked a carriage and drove through the side door.

Biyu, Xiahoumen, and Xun Bao walked out of the back door of Shifu, and after walking a short distance, they turned into a lively market. There are many people on the street who ride in cars and on foot, and those who can ride luxury calves must be rich and powerful scholars, but there are two kinds of people on foot, one is ordinary people, and the other is the children of scattered families. The difference between these two types of people can be seen from the way they dress: those who are loose tend to have wide clothes and big sleeves, and they don't take anything else except the tail in their hands. They behave strangely, speak arrogantly, have no purpose, go wherever they go, and come and go with excitement and return with failure; When ordinary people go out, they often wear narrow clothes and narrow sleeves, and in order to make a living, they will buy or sell, and they will carry things related to making a living in their hands and shoulders. All they talk about is their livelihood, and they are very focused on their own goals, where they can buy cheaper things, and how they can sell their own things for more money.

These sons of the family usually go out with a healthy ox and a fragrant car, and when they enter, they are supported by someone and rarely walk by themselves. But when they take Wushisan, they don't take a car, they don't need to be supported, they just walk on their own.

Although Biyu doesn't walk much on weekdays, but after all, he is young, and at this moment, he let go of the previous state of affection, and with the help of medicine, he doesn't feel tired at all. As he walked, he looked at the people in the street, especially those who were walking around the street. When he came to an intersection, he saw that the flow of people on the street was roughly divided into two streams, one to the south and the other to the west, and even the scattered people were no longer scattered, but had a purpose.

He asked Xiahoumen: "What is the attraction of the south and west?" Why do people have two different directional flows? ”

Xiahoumen didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "These two streams of people have different purposes, can you see what characteristics they have?" ”

"Those who go west are dressed as poor people; Those who went south seemed to be scattered people, and most of the calves were also heading south. ”

Xun Bao nodded: "That's right." There is an attractive place in the south and west, each of which attracts a group of people: to the west of the street is the largest market in Luoyang City, the West Market, and most of the people who go there are secular people, and the people of my generation disdain it; To the south of the street, there is a small willow forest, which is the place where the literati and celebrities of Luoyang City and the children of the family gather and talk. ”

"Isn't it talking about Xuan?"

"Well, that's right. The two of us are about to take you to have a look, I wonder if Brother Biyu is interested? ”

Biyu was very happy and readily agreed. Because he has long had a high interest in Qing Tan and metaphysics, but he has not had the opportunity to really get in touch. His father also often gathered with some people to talk, but these people only talked clearly, and could not touch the true meaning and essence of metaphysics at all.

"Don't the two virtuous brothers go there often? What do they say? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I wouldn't say anything? Biyu was too excited, and asked several questions in a row, for fear of losing his ugliness at the most fashionable banquet and making Luoyang's celebrities laugh.

"I was about to tell you." Xiahoumen listened to Biyu's question, and instructed: "Although there are many people in Yaji, most of them are just listeners, and those who can speak and debate are today's Qing Tan everyone, master of metaphysics, although the two of us have also participated many times, but they rarely make speeches, but they just echo the wonderful points." When you are a newcomer, don't speak rashly. ”

"Just listen silently, I know. So, it's easy. ”

Xun Bao looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, we can silently mix up the people who talk about it, whether there is real talent and real learning is another matter, but you always have to look like a celebrity on the outside, don't you think there are any shortcomings in your hands?" ”
