Ouyang De nodded and said, "This matter is wrapped up in the old man, who is he?

Da Kui replied: "There is a Zhang Zhuang in the southwest of Dingxi County, and this child is called Zhang Ergou. If the elder brother is willing, he will accept an additional apprentice, he is Zhang Ergou's playmate named Shishi. ”

Ouyang De agreed, and Da Kui had a big heart. Although there is no good wine, and the dishes are just a simple pot of stewed rabbit meat with a few kinds of green vegetables, Da Kui eats it very fragrant. During the banquet, Da Kui sighed: "Ouyang's predecessors have both civil and military skills, and this official is ashamed of himself. The two dog brothers can get the guidance of Ouyang's predecessors, it is really the creation of three lives. ”

Ouyang De smiled when he heard this, knowing that Da Kui had always kept in mind the matter of testing his foot strength in the past, and he did not hide the truth at the moment: "My lord misunderstood, if you talk about medicine." The old man thinks that he is a little poundy, but if he talks about martial arts, he will never dare to compare with adults. ”

Da Kui was a little impatient and said: "Why is my brother so modest, yes, yes, no, no." The official is telling the truth. ”

Ouyang De hadn't spoken yet, but Da Kui saw Yang Xiaohu sitting on the side holding the rice bowl and snickering, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, and his face was flushed.

Da Kui was a little displeased, and asked with a cold face, "Xiaohu, what are you laughing at?"

Yang Xiaohu dared to tell the truth, and quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, nothing." ”

Da Kui said angrily: "Don't say that you will be punished for not eating for three days." ”

Yang Xiaohu hurriedly said when he heard this: "The righteous father's title for Ouyang's seniors will be seniors and elder brothers, so the child wants to laugh." ”

Hearing this, Da Kui not only blushed and said: "Ouyang seniors are naturally seniors, but it is more appropriate to call me brother when it comes to friendship." As he spoke, he asked Ouyang De: "Brother Ouyang, do you say that's the truth?"

Ouyang De nodded again and again, and said in a round field: "Lord Zhang is reasonable, but the old man and Lord Zhang are brothers and brothers. ”

Da Kui laughed and said: "Why should Brother Ouyang be so polite, if it weren't for Brother Ouyang's many helps, my life would have been gone." It is my blessing to be able to make friends with my brother, how can I say that I will respect my brother. Da Kui said and raised his glass to toast Ouyang De, and Ouyang De hurriedly raised his glass in return.

After drinking this glass of wine, Ouyang De said: "When I tried my strength with adults, the old man won by luck, and there were two reasons. ”

When Da Kui heard this, not only did he listen carefully to the following, but Ouyang De paused before saying: "Adults are running in the mountains, and it is inevitable that they will go astray if they don't know the path, this is one of them. The old man in the mountains and forests here is very familiar, so he occupies the geographical advantage of this second. Is there a reason why an adult should not lose?"

Da Kui thought about it carefully, and not only asked: "At the beginning of the competition, I obviously went straight to the mountain peak, why did I deviate?"

Ouyang De smiled and said: "Looking at the mountain, you will definitely slack off under your feet." If you only care about your feet, you will inevitably deviate, and the truth must be understood in your heart. Da Kui couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this. If you don't have to look at the road when you usually run on the main road, you naturally have to be faster. Unfamiliar mountain roads are inevitably much slower, although Ouyang De said so, but even if he occupies the best geographical position, he can be regarded as a master in front of Dakui. Knowing heroes and valuing heroes, Da Kui toasted Ouyang De again. The topic changed, but he didn't talk about the strength of the feet. Ouyang De secretly praised in his heart, Zhang Dakui can afford to let it go, and his true husband is too.

After three rounds of drinking, it was too late, and Da Kui took Yang Xiaohu and two relatives to go to the grass hut under the cliff to stay. Ouyang De hurriedly said: "How can adults go to sleep in the grass hut with their golden bodies? It is better to stay in the house for one night, and my wife and I will go to the medicine shed on the mountain to rest, where the household things are complete, and the adults can rest at ease." Seeing that Ouyang De insisted on staying, Da Kui no longer insisted, so he stayed with Yang Xiaohu and the two guards.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Da Kui said goodbye to Ouyang De, and the people marched all the way to the east again, and the people of the county greeted each other. Because Da Kui traveled all the way, whenever he saw a poor family, he would leave a cow or a few sheep. Before leaving the border of Gansu, most of the cattle and sheep driven have been distributed. Da Kui thought in his heart, why should he leave a few cows and bring them back to Jeju. His hometown was also plagued by war, and the people there also needed to cultivate their cattle. Seeing the boundary of Pingyang in Shanxi Province, Yang Xiaohu, who was following behind Da Kui, not only looked gloomy.

Da Kui Xing was at the front of the team, but he asked casually: "Xiaohu, isn't your hometown here?"

Yang Xiaohu heard his father-in-law's question, but said: "There is no one at home, let's make the world home." ”

Da Kui not only chuckled: "The homeland is difficult to leave, and the hometown is difficult to change." Let's go back and see, and my father-in-law will go with you. ”

Yang Xiaohu recalled that he was displaced when he was young and moved to the south of the Yangtze River. Wandering in a foreign land, he couldn't have enough food and clothing, so he joined the army in order to make a living. Later, he met his father-in-law Zhang Dakui, and then he had the errand to settle down.

The hometown sound is difficult to change, and the homeland is difficult to leave, this sentence is not wrong at all. Yang Xiaohu thought for a while, and then said: "My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, so it's better for me to go back by myself." Thirty miles further to Pingyang Mansion, my father-in-law is waiting for me in Pingyang. I went to my mother's grave to pay my respects, and then went to Pingyang to make peace with my father-in-law. ”

Da Kui nodded when he heard this: "That's fine." After a pause, Da Kui said: "And it's not more than sadness, go early and return early." ”

Yang Xiaohu said goodbye and rode away all the way to the north. When Yang Xiaohu walked away, Da Kui said to the two guards behind him: "You two will go to Pingyang first, and the official will arrive later." The two guards received the order and both rode their horses in the direction of Pingyang.

Da Kui may be a tree in the forest in Jingshi, because Jingshi's first and second grades abound. And at the local level, it is a person who stomps his feet and trembles, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a high authority. Less than ten miles further, there was a group of men and horses running ahead, and there were enough of a thousand people. The military generals who led the team rode their horses to Da Kui and dismounted, and trotted all the way to Da Kui, holding their fists and kneeling on one knee.

"The young general Pingyang garrisoned thousands of households in Yuji, and was ordered by the prefect to welcome Lord Zhang, the imperial history of the left capital. ”

Da Kui nodded and said, "Get up, there are thousands of households to greet you." ”

"Where the responsibility lies, how dare the young general slack off. Qianhu Yuji said as he got up and turned around and beckoned back, and the thousand elite horsemen brought from afar rushed towards Da Kui's team, and they were divided and two at the place where they gathered. Five hundred people on the left and right sandwiched Da Kui's team in the middle. After that, Qianhu Yu Ji personally led the team and slowly walked in the direction of Pingyang.

Another journey, ten miles away from Pingyang City, Pingyang prefect Sun Donghai led the crowd to meet early, and all the gentry and dignitaries of Pingyang Mansion came with him. From a distance, there are rows of carriages and horses, and there is a team of servants, and the style is extraordinary.

Da Kui was in a good mood when he saw the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, and he was also in a good mood when he saw the rich people.

Along the way, most of the cattle and sheep were divided, and there was not much left along with Da Kui's own silver. Over the past year or so, Da Kui has also accumulated nearly 1,000 taels of silver. Who knew that thousands of miles away from Lanzhou to Pingyang Mansion, whenever he saw poor people, Da Kui always gave generously. Until now, Da Kui's money bag has a total of less than two hundred taels of silver.

Sun Donghai, the prefect of Pingyang, was humble and good, and he saw Da Kuili for several weeks.

Da Kui didn't care about this, but pointed to the more than ten people in gorgeous clothes behind him and asked, "Who are these people?" ”

Sun Donghai, the prefect of Pingyang, was sincerely afraid: "Don't dare, don't dare, these are the famous people of Pingyang Mansion." Hearing that Lord Zhang deigned to come to Pingyang, the villagers spontaneously came to greet him. ”

Da Kui wanted to laugh in his heart, he had just sent two messengers, and it was only an hour before and after, and these so-called famous families came to greet them. It seems that Sun Donghai, the prefect of Pingyang, has a very good relationship with these famous families on weekdays! What he thought in his heart, Da Kui did not show the slightest expression, but just said lightly: "It is almost noon, so the official will make a good east, and invite all the villagers to have a light meal together." Emperor Taizu also often said: The people are precious, and the society is secondary. We, who are courtiers, must not neglect the people. ”

Sun Donghai bowed down again and again to say yes, but muttered in his heart: "The people are precious, and the community is secondary." This sentence was said by Mencius, what does it have to do with Emperor Taizu?" But even though he muttered in his heart, his face looked like he was listening to the teachings.

The soldiers opened the way, Da Kui led the team in the center, and these 'villagers' from Pingyang Mansion followed behind the team, and the team drove towards Pingyang City.

When I entered the city, I saw that the people in the city were all in the middle of the road to greet each other, and there were soldiers guarding ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry on both sides of the road. The team sounded the gong and opened the way all the way to the largest restaurant in the city, and when they arrived at the door of the restaurant, Da Kui had not yet dismounted and a strong man had already brought the horse stone.

Da Kui couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in his heart, this official is decent to be big. There are people waiting for you when you get on and off the horse. One of the purposes of Da Kui's stay in Pingyang is to taste the taste of this Fen wine, and it is said that Emperor Taizu's imperial wine is brewed by the old winemaker found in Shanxi by the secret door method.

When Da Kui dismounted, Sun Donghai, the prefect of Pingyang, personally came to help, Da Kui not only smiled lightly, jumped off the horse with one leg, and even got on the horse stone, which actually attracted a cheer from the surroundings.

Da Kui felt a little funny in his heart, this must be the idea of Sun Donghai, the prefect of Pingyang. Slapping sycophants and stinky feet is also a major scenery in officialdom, and Da Kui doesn't care. I raised my head and looked at the restaurant's signboard "Drunken Jun Building". Just by looking at the signboard, you know that the wine in this restaurant must be good.

Da Kui was about to enter the door in his robe, but the crowd on the street suddenly shouted: "Wronged!"

Listening to the voice of a woman, Da Kui not only slowed down, but turned around to look at the place where the voice came from. Sun Donghai, the prefect of Pingyang behind him, was so frightened by this "wrong" that his spine sweated, and he hurriedly shouted: "In the prosperous world of Qingping, how can there be grievances." Come, take down the one who cried out. ”

Da Kui smiled and said, "If you bring that woman over, you will know what grievances you have." ”
