Chapter Eighty-Six: The Zhuang Family is Hospitable

It's all greedy and misleading.For the sake of ten jars of rice wine, he lost two war horses.Da Kui felt a little worthless in his heart.

Nowadays, Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan all have the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty as 'chaos'. This Guangxi province is a buffer zone.There have been attacks by the armies of the Yuan and Ming dynasties for many years.As the saying goes: a soldier is a thief.The local people are under the harassment of the attack.But all the 'handover' cities are bartered.There is very little money to exchange.The rice wine that Da Kui drank at that time was exchanged for a silk satin.This is still a happy event for people.So a jar of wine was exchanged.

A silk silk for a jar of wine. This price is really ridiculously expensive, but there is no way.

"Lord Zhang, the camp has been completed now, the carriages and horses are ready, whether to set off." Hong Wu came to Da Kui's side and asked.

"Ask Lord Wang about everything, he is the pacification envoy, and the official is the deputy envoy." Da Kui's heart is a little angry.Busy working but losing two war horses.Although it's not worth much.But it's really indignant.For today's plan, it's better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.If the people of the Zhuang family come to find trouble, it will be a big annoyance.The team is pulling.Everyone is in love with this beautiful place.

Han Yu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once praised the Li River: "The river is a green Luo belt, and the mountains are like a jade hairpin".

After a journey, suddenly more than 100 riders rushed behind the team, Da Kui rode on the horse, looked back, saw the smoke and dust rising from a distance, and the first person was slim, wearing a black 'colored' cloak.

Da Kui turned over and dismounted in a hurry, and immediately took down the baggage he was carrying, and immediately raised his voice and ordered: "Stop them." As soon as the words fell, the 200 soldiers behind the entourage team were led by Hong Wu and immediately turned around and rode towards the more than 100 people who were chasing.

Two groups of men and horses will be more than 20 zhang away, Hongwu led his subordinates to line up to block the way.

"Stand still, who are you, dare to disturb the chariot of the imperial court's pacification envoy." Hong Wu asked first.

On the other side, the beauty immediately raised her eyebrows, and said coquettishly: "I am the strong family Lu Binglan, who are you?"

Hong Wu smiled slightly and said, "I am the personal entourage of Master Zhang, the political envoy of Jiangnan."

"I thought it was some kind of official, but it was just a personal follower." Saying that, the horsewhip pointed at Hong Wu and said, "Get out of the way, this girl is here to find someone." The words poke at the anger, quite rude, this Lu Binglan's rudeness is not unreasonable, the Zhuang family has no surname, but this surname Lu has a great background.

In 221 B.C., after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he sent Wei Tu Sui to lead an army of 500,000 troops, divided into 5 routes, marched into Lingnan, defeated the Xiou people, unified Lingnan, established Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiangzhou counties, placed them under the rule of the Great Qin Emperor, and sent Jian Lu to build a spiritual canal in Guangxi, connecting the Xiang River with the Li River, communicating the Yangtze River and the Pearl River water system. In the process of intermarriage, some of them became Zhuang, and at the same time, the development of the 'exchange' between the Yue and Han people was accelerated. From the Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, there were some big surnames in the Zhuang area of present-day Guangxi Province, such as Lu Shi in Guilin, Gao Liang in Guilin, Xian in Hepu, and Ning in Qinzhou.

This Lu Binglan's father is the patriarch of the thirteen villages of the Zhuang family in the Guilin area, and there are nearly 10,000 people in these thirteen villages, who are surnamed Lu.

Hong Wu saw that Lu Binglan was going to break through, and immediately shouted: "You can't rebel." As he spoke, he first pulled out the long knife at his waist, and the two hundred 'elite' soldiers who came with him also showed their blades and waited for battle.

At this moment, a loud shout came from behind Hong Wu: "Who is presumptuous here?"

Hong Wu looked back, but the person who came was Da Kui in official uniform, and behind Da Kui was Meng Ge and Panbu.

Seeing the envoy coming, two hundred 'elite' soldiers automatically gave way to the road, and Da Kui rode his horse to the front of the two sides.

When Lu Binglan saw Da Kui, she was furious at once, and she had no lady's 'girl' demeanor: "Okay, you Zhang Xiaokui, it turns out that you are really here."

Hearing this, Da Kui deliberately pretended to be inexplicable and asked: "I'm afraid that the girl has recognized the wrong person, Zhang Dakui, the political envoy of Jiangnan Province, Zhang Xiaokui, you are talking about, but Zhang Xiaokui is the younger brother of the official's mother." As soon as this statement came out, all the relatives behind him were confused.

Meng Ge quietly asked, "When did Master Zhang have a younger brother?"

"Master, this must be my father-in-law's words, and the twists and turns are not known to you and me." Panbu also replied in a whisper.

When Lu Binglan heard Da Kui say this, she was not angry, and immediately asked, "Then where is your brother?"

Da Kui replied, "Although my brother was born worse than me, he is still a dignified person, but he has already started a family.

Lu Binglan couldn't help but be furious when she heard this, and her straightforward delicate body trembled, and she said sharply after a while: "You go and find your brother, this girl should teach him a good lesson."

Da Kui couldn't help asking, "Where did my brother bump into the girl? Da Kui said and bowed his hand on the horse.

Lv Binglan saw that Da Kui insisted on protecting his shortness, and at that moment, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and he was about to break through with people.

The villagers rode their horses to Lu Binglan's side and stopped their horses and said: "Da Binglan, the owner of the village has decreed, these people are distinguished guests, you can't embarrass them, the owner of the village is behind, and you will be there soon." (PS: Da is the meaning of the girl in the Zhuang language, Da Binglan means the ice blue girl.) Lu Binglan glared at Da Kui and the others, and then immediately waited in place.

"Hahahaha, the distinguished guest came to the 'door' and passed by. The owner of this village is about half a hundred years old, wearing a gray and black robe, wearing a short coat on the outside, so wearing Dakui, but it is the first time to see, but I don't know that this is the dress when the Zhuang family meets guests.

"Oh, this must be the lord of Lu Zhai. Zhang has long admired his name, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful." Da Kui said that he bowed his hand again on the horse, not only with compliments, but also with a thorough number of courtesies.

The lord of Lu Zhai said with a smile: "The old man is here to invite Lord Zhang and his entourage to the village as guests, but I don't know why the lord is in such a hurry."

Da Kui said with a smile: "This official still has official business, and he doesn't dare to stay here for a long time. Da Kui didn't know that the Zhuang family was very hospitable, and he treated the original guests with great courtesy, but if he was refused, it was a big taboo.

Da Kui is not very knowledgeable about the etiquette of various ethnic groups, but Meng Ge behind him understands, seeing that Da Kui rejected the lord of Lu Zhai, he hurriedly rode his horse to Da Kui's side and whispered a little. Saying that, Da Kui turned back to Panbu and said, "Panbu, you go and tell Lord Wang to go together." He led his horse back and ran towards the procession.

After a short time, Wang Xiyuan changed his horse and came to Da Kui's side with Panbu.

Da Kui and Wang Xiyuan led more than ten followers to follow the lord of Lu Zhai to Zhuangjia Dazhai.

On the way, Meng Ge told Da Kui some Zhuang family customs.

The Zhuang people pay attention to etiquette, hospitality, and hospitality. Only the elderly can sit at the same table with the elderly guests, and the young people must stand next to the guests, and they can only sit down after pouring wine for the guests.

Zhuang tradition.A guest is a guest of the whole village.Visitors are often invited by each family in turn;Especially VIPs.Sometimes a meal has to eat five or six families.Often the guests have just sat in the first house.The second and third families have sent people to stand behind them and wait for each other.According to the customs of the Zhuang people.Guests cannot shirk.Experienced guests will never eat enough to eat in the first place.Must think that there are other invitations.For the Zhuang people.Decline the invitation is rude.Drunk gaffe will be embarrassed.

Da Kui and Meng Ge rode horses and followed behind Wang Xiyuan, because Wang Xiyuan was the appeasement envoy of this trip.

Not far away, Lu Binglan saw the whispering 'private' words between Da Kui and Meng Ge.She couldn't help but feel angry.This Da Kui was obviously that Zhang Xiaokui.Every one of these demeanors and behaviors was so similar.It's not him or which one.Lu Binglan secretly bit Zhu's lip and thought about it.At this time, she already had an idea in her heart.Decided to fix this bold maniac who dared to kidnap herself.

The group traveled for about half an hour to arrive at Miao Village.

Da Kui saw two horses tied to the corner of the compound from a distance, and the horse's 'hips' were branded with fire paint, but they were the war horses that Sima Yan and himself rode away at that time.

The lord of Lu Zhai was very enthusiastic to invite Wang Xiyuan and Da Kui and others to his own wooden building. After the guest and the host sat down, he immediately ordered someone to serve tea and entertain the guests. Wang Xiyuan was not only full of money, but he also knew a lot about the etiquette of the Zhuang family.

At this moment, it was almost noon, and the lord of Lu Zhai ordered someone to set up a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests.

The lord of Lu Zhai personally poured a glass of wine for the guests and himself. After the host and guest drank the "handover of arm wine" together, several "women" of the Zhuang family came in from outside the "door", each of whom held a huge wine jug. Wang Xiyuan was not surprised by the change. Da Kui was confused. The tin pot is filled with wine, and the wine is white and rippling, and the wine is not suspicious in front of you, and I have a sincere respect for distinguished guests, and respecting you is like respecting the gods. The singing is beautiful and beautiful, and it can't help but make people fascinated.

As soon as the singing was over, the leading 'girl' poured wine for the guests. Wang Xiyuan was not restrained, and took the wine glass and signaled to the lord of Lu Zhai: "This official borrows 'flowers' to offer Buddha, and I only wish the people of the world happiness and health."

"Okay, good, Lord Wang, please drink this cup full." Lord Lu Zhai said with a smile.

Wang Xiyuan continued: "The subordinates are encamped at the foot of Elephant Trunk Mountain, and one of the officials and Master Zhang must go to the town. As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass.

Da Kui saw Wang Xiyuan's words, so he 'wanted' and 'withdrew', but he didn't know why in his heart, but he still raised his glass and said: "This official feels the kindness of the lord of Lu Zhai. As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his cup.

As soon as the wine entered the throat, I suddenly felt spicy and vigorous, and the glass I drank was actually a strong wine.
