Chapter 37: Mangwei accompanies him
After the woman took the slave and Gai Nie away, the young man also stood up, stood at the bottom, and asked Zheng Anping and Chen Si to sit down, and the two of them were willing to sit there. Mang Mao said: "Now the two of them are guests, so they don't sit in the guest seat and are laughed at." Then the two of them sat down. The man who had gone to the reception and the young man sat down under the shoulders of Mangmao in turn.
Mang Mao pointed to the two of them: "Yes, then the dog Ziyin, yes, then the dog Ziwei." Yin is the eldest son, not the fourth son. The young child Shen entered Qin with the prince of Chu and was seen in the Qin court. The so-called Shen Gong actually refers to Shen Er; Mr. right, Mr. right of the bus of our house, too. ”
Zheng Anping saluted: "Wei Shu is under the account of Shen Gongzi, and he has heard a lot of lessons. Also see the abundance of the public! ”
Mang Mao turned to his two sons and said, "Do you know Zheng Gongzi?" The one who sacrificed his life under the sword to save Wei Gongzi Xinling Jun, that is, this gentleman! ”
Mang Yin and Mang Wei both bowed down and said: "Fortunately, I have to pay respects!" ”
Zheng Anping hurriedly replied: "How dare Weishu!" ”
Mang Mao still said to his second son: "The king is in charge of the city, according to Huayang, the prestige is everywhere, and Zheng Gongzi is really powerful." The king has to be sealed in the guanyi, and the prince is the order! Although, the son was righteous and saved a sage in the previous year, and offended Wei Xiang, the matter was revealed, and the king could not be peaceful, resulting in the death of the son. ”
Zheng Anping's heart shook, this Mangmao told his own affairs as if it were his business. He became more and more determined in his idea just now: the man behind the scenes was Mangmao. Thinking that Mang Mao recommended Wei Qing for the King of Qin, he would enter the prime minister, and he would have been deeply involved in the Wei State for 20 years, if such a big man wanted to play tricks on himself, where would he have the strength to fight back, he had to let it be. As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Anping was calm and obedient, and said without any waves: "The minister is clothed, and the food is sent to Wei, and he is a military pawn; I was lucky enough to be a sergeant. In the Battle of Huayang, Wei Wu exhausted his ink, and the ministers had to protect their heads. It is still insufficient, and it will be a meritorious deed. If you are defeated, you don't dare to complain, but you deserve it. ”
Mang Mao said: "It's not as Gongzi said." Shen'er came from Qin to report that the sage saved by the son had entered the Qin State, and he was very favored by the King of Qin and worshiped as a guest. As soon as the son entered Qin, fame and fortune were immeasurable. ”
Zheng Anping said: "Mr. Zhang Lu entered Qin as a guest, and the ministers heard about it to the third brother. Now the minister died, and he really threw himself into it, but he was fortunate to be able to save his life. I dare not look at him. ”
Mang Mao said to the second son: "Do you wait for Zheng Gongzi to watch?" Regard wealth as floating, come and go, and leave nothing. Makoto husband also. ”
Zheng Anping said: "How dare Weishu! ”
The owner of the wine shop came in with several cases, and each of them set them up one by one. The three of them on the female side, each of them has a tripod and a tripod.
When the restaurant retreated, Zheng Anping thanked him: "Wei Shu is a dead person, how dare he be a gift." ”
Mang Mao said with a smile: "The gift of Dinggui, China too." Chu, barbarians, wearing left hair, Yan Zhili! Childe and taste it, not as good as China's Ding. ”
Zheng Anping opened the lid, and sure enough, it was not boiled meat soup, but a variety of vegetables, fish and shrimp, meat mixed together, plus a variety of green onions, ginger, cinnamon and other seasonings stewed together, compared with the meat soup, it has a unique fragrance. There is millet and rice in the soup, all of which are steamed into rice, not porridge, and can be taken according to their needs. Zheng Anping smelled the aroma and moved his index finger, but he had never eaten like this, so he was afraid of being rude, so he had to peek at how Mang Mao did it.
Mang Mao first put some rice into the bowl with a chopstick, and then scooped some messy stew on top of the rice with a dagger, and motioned to Zheng Anping: "Son, please!" ”
Zheng Anping hurriedly picked up the bowl, looking back at Chen Si and Mang's two sons, they also ate the same way, thinking that they probably couldn't go wrong, so they did the same, using a chopstick to pick up rice and scooping meat with a dagger. However, those two spoons should not be used arbitrarily. Chen Si saw it and reminded him: "Father, but it is okay to eat with a dagger." ”
Mang Mao saw that Zheng Anping was not used to using a chopstick, and also said: "But eat with a dagger, but eat with a dagger!" ”
Zheng Anping was a little embarrassed. I used to learn to use a chopstick, but I have been a martial artist for more than ten years, and the technique of using chopsticks is useless, so I didn't expect it to be so unfamiliar. And in China, the chopsticks are used to fish for meat in the ding, and they are large long chopsticks, unlike here, which are two short chopsticks, which completely replace the function of the dagger. He decided that he would use the dagger to deal with the past meal first, and when he returned, he would definitely practice his skills with the chopstick, and he would never lose his share like this again.
With stewed bibimbap, it is delicious, fragrant and sweet, and Zheng Anping can hardly stop eating. After eating a bowl of rice and another bowl of small rice, I didn't dare to enjoy it, so I put the bowl down.
Mangmao didn't eat so fragrantly, but seeing that Zheng Anping ate sweetly, he had to eat slowly. Seeing that Zheng Anping put the bowl down, he ate all the rice in the bowl and stopped. Chen Si and Mang's second son also stopped.
Mang Mao said: "I send food to Wei Ye, and the descendants of Ben Si will use their family business to avoid hunger and cold." When the time is obedient, the defeated division kills the general, and he cannot be in the country. The child is not heard, he is not heard of by the gentleman, and he is only slightly virtuous, and he is willing to recommend it to the son in order to learn about it. ”
When Zheng Anping heard this, he was so shocked that he sweated, and he hurriedly said: "When the minister's body is still in the future, An dares to protect the son Wenda!" The public has a life, and the minister does not dare to resign. If in doubt, please take the axe. ”
Mang Mao returned the salute at the banquet: "Don't dare to doubt the son." Although the child is young, his heart is still sensitive, and in the midst of trouble, he may see the effect of dogs and horses. ”
Zheng Anping said: "The order of the public, the minister does not dare to resign." I am willing to serve the son to follow the example of dogs and horses. ”
Mang Mao Zhengse said: "The son's entry into Qin is also Mr. Zhang." Wei'er is ignorant of Mr. Zhang, and he thinks that he is the master of the son, and he dares to go against him. ”
Zheng Anping seemed to have some understanding. His status is all dependent on Zhang Lu, and the reason why Mang Mao is willing to let his son follow him is all because of Zhang Lu. Zheng Anping was a little confused: that Zhang Lu, who was always on his back, sick and crooked, and inconspicuous, turned out to be such a big man? He also pretended to be his retainer, although he was always polite to him, called sir, always asked him for advice on things, and never counted some slight courtesies, but he was also regarded as a friend in trouble, and never thought that he was a figure that even Mangmao had to rely on. Knowing this, would he dare to treat Zhang Lu like that? He seemed to be a little unconscious, as if he was in a dream. I was a little unconvinced, and I had some small expectations: what kind of changes will happen to my fate after I am linked to Zhang Lu?
After promising to recommend Mang Wei to Zhang Lu, Mang Wei followed Zheng Anping into Qin and decided so. Mang Wei naturally has to be incognito, and like Mang Shen, he uses his name and calls him inaction, but it is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, which shows the meticulousness of his thoughts. And what is particularly meticulous is that he even packed his bags for travel, eats, and after leaving the wine shop, he directly follows Zheng Anping back to the boat. Wuwang watched the boat at home and didn't follow him to the wine store, Zheng Anping asked the store for a bowl, filled a bowl of rice and a bowl of meat, and brought it back to Wuwang - the money to buy the bowl was naturally counted in Mangmao's account.
Now Zheng Anping's team has grown to six people. Although Mang Wei had not seen him before, he had a good conversation with Zheng Anping, and the two sides talked about Mangshen, the Battle of Huayang and Xinlingjun, etc., and they were quite able to communicate with each other and were full of interest, but they were all the same, and they were secretive about how to sneak into the hidden sun. After several unsuccessful attempts, Zheng Anping stopped mentioning this. While they were gossiping, Chen Si and Gai Nie sat at the door of the cabin one after the other, beware of others approaching. The others sat around the cabin, mostly listening, occasionally interjecting a few words.
Along the way, the mercenary boat traveled by water, or the mercenary car traveled by land, or stopped or traveled, Zheng Anping listened to the command of the caravan and fully cooperated; Even sometimes asked Zheng Anping to come forward to deter the local head snake, Zheng Anping did not refuse, and directly picked up a big stone with a wooden coffin, establishing his status as a warrior.
The last stop before the caravan entered Nanyang was Heji, where almost all the grain and daily necessities were cleared, and only some luxury goods were left to continue to be transported to Nanyang, and more of them were exchanged for many iron tools, especially iron farming tools. Since the establishment of Nanyang County in Qin, the demand for iron farming tools has increased greatly. And where there is demand, there is supply, and the arm is also out of the kiln, specializing in the production of iron farming tools.
In order to thank Zheng Anping for the samurai, the caravan collectively paid for the purchase of an iron sword for him, but Zheng Anping did not refuse, only picked a three-foot-long sword, and did not buy a long sword. At first, everyone thought that Zheng Anping was righteous and wanted to save money for everyone, but later it was discovered that this sword was actually hanging on Gai Nie's waist.
As Gai Nie grew up day by day, his love for martial arts grew day by day, and the posture created by himself from Xinling Junmenke's "learning from others" has been very effective after continuous innovation, and his physical development is very coordinated, and his strength has also grown rapidly; Although Wuwang is five or six years older than him, he is no longer Gai Nie's opponent when he wrestles. Mangwei thought the little guy was very cute, and sometimes broke two branches and split with him. Zheng Anping only watched from the sidelines, sometimes pointing out a sentence or two, and did not end up.
Gai Nie, who hung up the iron sword, his entire spirit and spirit were different, as if he had been sublimated, which made Zheng Anping very surprised: Is there really a so-called sword god? More and more careful care of Gai Nie, lest he lose it. Chen Si's childish temperament, in order to play with Gai Nie's sword, pretended to teach him swordsmanship. Demonstrate a little basic swordsmanship that you know and demonstrate a move; Gai Nie actually chased after his mind and practiced seriously.
After the arm-and-arm closure, it was all mountain roads. Everyone hired the car, crossed Fangcheng, and went to Wancheng. Since Qin and Chu had formed an alliance, Fangcheng's defense had been relaxed, and as long as taxes were levied, there was generally no more inventory. There was not much food left in the country of Chen, and several men packed their bags and tied them to themselves. Due to the rugged mountain road, it was not as comfortable to ride as it was to walk, so there was no car, and the little slave and Gai Nie followed on foot. Among the six people in this line, it turned out to be Mangwei who was the first to foam on his feet; then the little slaves, and finally Wuwang and Zheng Anping; Gai Nie and Chen Si were playing with swords along the way, but there was no foaming on their feet. When Zheng Anping finally arrived in Wancheng, they were all so tired that they collapsed! Only Gai Nie and Chen Si were still alive.
