"Who is this?" Zheng Peng asked with some curiosity.

I didn't say hello just now, but that person was Guo Ziyi's entourage.

Guo Ziyi walked up to his companion and introduced with a straight face: "Brother Feiteng, let me introduce, this is a good brother I met in Chang'an, Kuro from Grolu, Brother Kuro traveled to Chang'an, and he is also interested in participating in martial arts, and we often practice martial arts together." ”

"Anxi Kuro, I've seen Zheng Gongzi." Kuro saluted Zheng Peng in slightly stiff Chinese.

It turned out to be a person from the nomadic tribe of the Tang Dynasty, no wonder he didn't speak like a person from the Central Plains, Zheng Peng said with a smile: "It's Ziyi's brother, that's also Zheng Feiteng's friend, you don't need to call it a son, it's too angry, Brother Kuluo, just call me Feiteng in the future." ”

The Tang Dynasty is an open and inclusive dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin has a very harmonious relationship with the ethnic minorities, with the title of "Tian Khan", foreigners and Tibetan people can go to the Tang Dynasty to trade, live and even be officials, and there are a large number of nomadic tribes who return to the Tang Dynasty in Anxi, they yearn for the achievements of the Tang Dynasty, admire the Tang culture, and many people participate in the imperial examinations and martial arts held by the imperial court every session, which is not surprising.

Kuro is tall and long, and he is powerful, and when he looks at the frame, he knows that he is a practitioner.

"Brother Feiteng, I'm bothered." Kuro said with some embarrassment.

"What's the matter, the two of you can come to see so-and-so, that's to look up to me Zheng Feiteng, don't stand, enter the house, come today without getting drunk and returning."

After entering the door, Zheng Peng asked people to serve fruit pastries, and asked Ah Fu to prepare wine and food.

Guo Ziyi is very shrewd, every time she comes with a meal, Zheng Peng has eaten with Father-in-law Qian in Zuojiaofang, and he is not hungry at all, but he still asks people to cook.

If Guo Ziyi came alone, Zheng Peng would send him away with some wine and braised pork, but Kuro came to the door for the first time, so he couldn't feel left out.

The three of them chatted around, and soon Zheng Peng understood the reason why Guo Ziyi brought people to the door, both of them practiced martial arts, and their temperaments were compatible, so they shared a house together, belonging to the kind of wine that they drank together and spent money together, and they could usually cut their martial arts, just last night, Guo Ziyi went to drink flower wine, drank too much and ordered a red card for a Spring Festival, and found that the money was not enough when checking out, and finally Kuro took the money to ransom people.

Guo Ziyi felt embarrassed, so when she came to eat, she took him with her.

"Brother Feiteng, when you came back just now, you were full of alcohol, and you went to Pingkangfang to be happy again?" Guo Ziyi asked a little enviously.

Zheng Peng said lightly: "No, the Qian Jiaofang envoy of Zuo Jiaofang invited me to the banquet and asked me to be a Lezheng, and when I was happy, I sang two more cups." ”

"Lezheng of Zuojiaofang?" Guo Ziyi was in awe when she heard this: "That's the eighth grade, Brother Feiteng, then I can call you Zheng Lezheng now." ”

A county order is only seven grades, from a person who has no rank and no rank, and suddenly rises to an eight-rank official, which is a huge leap, and most importantly, it is still an official of Zuojiaofang, this kind of official needs to be very talented and famous to be able to serve, and it is an honor for scholars.

For example, if a person sings on the street, he is a person who sells songs and begs for a living, but if a person sings in the National Center for the Performing Arts, then he is an artist and singer.

Wang Wei is a famous poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty, the official to the right of Shangshu, he won the first place in the nineteenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, that is, he served as the Taichang Temple Dale Cheng, the eighth grade of the petty official, it can be seen from here that Zheng Peng can find Lezheng in the left workshop, which is very good.

"Don't don't" Zheng Peng immediately said: "That's a false position, we still treat each other as friends, there are not so many rules here." ”

"I just like Brother Feiteng's neat temperament." Guo Ziyi said happily.

"Atmosphere." Kuro nodded in agreement.

At this time, Ah Fu stepped forward and said that the meal was ready, and Zheng Peng immediately invited two guys who rubbed rice to the table.

In terms of eating, Zheng Peng has always been generous, the wine is the best grandma sake in Chang'an, the dishes include chicken, fish, braised meat, mutton, etc., which are full of a table, and he is a little embarrassed to say: "Brother Kuluo came to the door for the first time, and the preparation is a little hasty, the wine is thin and the dishes are thin, so take care of it." ”

I wanted to roast a sheep to show grandeur, but it took time to roast the sheep, so I only made a plate of mutton soup.

Kuro hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother Feiteng, we came to the door empty-handed, we should ask you to take care of it." ”

Guo Ziyi said that he invited Kuro to have a big meal to make amends, thinking that he was going to the restaurant, but he didn't expect Guo Ziyi, who was shy in his pocket, to bring him directly to Zheng Peng's door, so that he didn't prepare anything.

"Hehe, you can enter this door empty-handed, but it's hard to enter with a gift."

"Okay, it's all your own people, so don't be polite anymore" Guo Ziyi said as she took a big chopstick and put it in her mouth, and chewed it in a big gulp.

When eating, I didn't forget to say to Kuro: "Eat, this black is braised pork, don't look at it is not good-looking, it tastes good, taste it." ”

"Delicious" is Kuro's evaluation after tasting the braised pork.

The people who practice martial arts are not only straightforward, but also have a big appetite, have a meal with the literati, chat and drink orders, and no one can finish eating, but eating with Guo Ziyi and Kuluo, these two guys are real, low and fierce, one eats faster than the other, that is a big bowl of wine and large pieces of meat, less than two quarters of an hour, a table of dishes eaten cleanly.

Guo Ziyi hiccuped comfortably, and said with a satisfied face: "Yes, Brother Feiteng, your subordinates' skills have grown again, Brother Kuro, have you eaten enough?" ”

"It's full." Curro's answer was simple and straightforward.

"Come, have some tea, and cure the hangover." Zheng Peng poured a cup of tea for the two.

Three people, eight dishes and one soup, it is still a large amount, Zheng Peng has eaten it in Zuojiaofang, and now he is just eating with him politely, almost all of them are eaten up by these two gluttons, and it is strange that he is not full.

Guo Ziyi said with some envy: "Brother Feiteng, I am a little envious of you." ”

"Envy me?" Zheng Peng spread his hands and said: "What is there to envy, being driven out of the family, you have to rely on yourself for everything, if you want to say envy, I also envy Brother Ziyi, I have a family to take care of, life is worry-free, and even the road has been paved for you." ”

"What is there to envy, that is, a martial artist, who practices all over his body and sweats every day, which is like Brother Feiteng, who is a merry and suave party, young and golden, and goes to Pingkangfang without spending money Those Oiran are still pasted upside down, and he has an official body at a young age, and his future has not yet been settled."

After a pause, Guo Ziyi said with a wry smile: "As for the worry-free life, not to mention, now the brothers are almost unable to eat." ”

"No, Brother Ziyi is unrestrained, and he is short of money for a while, Brother Kuro won't be able to?"

Being able to travel from Anxi to Chang'an must have a bit of a family background, which is equivalent to going abroad to study in later generations, and it is not okay to have no money.

Kuro said with some embarrassment: "There is only one last horse left, and it can't be sold anymore, and if it is sold, it will be difficult to go home." ”

What, sell horses?

Seeing that Zheng Peng was puzzled, Guo Ziyi explained, and Zheng Peng quickly understood.

Kuro's father is an elder in the clan, the economy is average, and the nomadic tribes want necessities of life, which are exchanged for horses, but the Tang Dynasty has restrictions on the purchase of horses, not as many as you want, usually as many horses as you want, and then buy them in the hands of various nomadic tribes in proportion, and those merchants who sell horses only talk to the tribal leaders.

Kuro's method was to take three horses at a time, one to carry luggage, one to ride, and the other to change horses, and sell two of them after arriving in Chang'an, so that the living expenses would be available.

When the money is almost gone, go home and have a look, and then ride a few horses on the road.

Guo Ziyi explained, and then said with a smile: "Brother Feiteng, you have such a good relationship with the teaching workshop, if you don't help me inquire, the teaching workshop still doesn't accept people, and I will also get an errand and get some small money to spend." ”

This lascivious guy, letting him enter the workshop is equivalent to catching a mouse and putting it in a rice jar, Zheng Peng said angrily: "How can you enter if you want to, Brother Ziyi, the martial arts are about to start, let's prepare carefully." ”

"The matter of martial arts training will be arranged in a certain meeting." Guo Ziyi suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Feiteng, the braised pork you make is so delicious, or we will cooperate, you are responsible for doing it, I am responsible for selling, make money, just share the errand fee." ”

Good guy, this is his goal, he deliberately wanted to find him an errand in the teaching workshop before, knowing that he couldn't get an idea about it, and then talking about selling braised meat, he couldn't refuse him twice in a row.

is worthy of being a future famous general who is both civil and military, and he "calculated" himself so quickly.

"Piggyback" Kuro chimed in: "I also want to make some errand money." ”
