179 Prejudice and estrangement
Zheng Peng said to Kuro: "Brother Kuro, what do you think?" ”
"How?" Zheng Peng's thoughts jumped so fast that Kuro didn't react for a while.
"I am also from the Tang Dynasty, what do you think of me?" Zheng Peng said again patiently.
"Good!" Kuro did not hesitate to praise: "Brother Feiteng is both civil and military, understands music and rhythm, and is also proficient in the art of management, the most rare thing is that he has an official body at a young age, and he is the most shrewd and talented person I have seen in Datang." ”
Speaking of this, he said to Guo Ziyi with some embarrassment: "Brother Ziyi is also very smart and strong in martial arts, I have no intention of degrading Brother Ziyi here." ”
"Hahaha, it's okay, a certain is a martial artist, Feiteng is far above me whether he is shrewd or talented, how can there be any derogatory meaning." Guo Ziyi said very open-mindedly.
Zheng Peng nodded and said, "Okay, the question is finished, now the test starts, there is a small request, no matter what you see for a while, don't ask, just watch quietly." ”
Guo Ziyi and Kuro didn't understand what Zheng Peng was going to do, but they nodded in agreement when they heard this.
Zheng Peng looked left and right for a while, walked to the corner, and said to a man who seemed to be from other places dressed as a businessman: "This uncle, I don't know if it's convenient to say something?" ”
The middle-aged man saw that Zheng Peng was brightly dressed and talked extraordinary, and he didn't dare to underestimate it, so he immediately stood up and saluted when he heard the words: "It's nothing inconvenient, I don't know what advice Xiao Langjun has?" ”
With a "snap", Zheng Peng threw down a string of money, pointed to the subordinate behind him and said, "This is the consistent money, I want the clothes that your subordinates are wearing." ”
"This, this... Xiao Langjun, that's the clothes of the next person, not suitable for your identity, there is a ready-to-wear store downstairs, Xiao Langjun can take a look. The merchant looked at the money, then at Zheng Peng, and said with some difficulty.
The set of clothes on the body of the subordinate is sewn from ordinary silk cloth, the pulp is washed a little white, all the way to the dust, it looks a little dilapidated, at a glance it is the clothes worn by the subordinate, and the money has always been able to buy twenty or thirty sets of new ones, this is not teasing yourself, right?
Zheng Peng's face turned pale, and he insisted on saying: "Do you want him to do this, always make money, sell it or not?" ”
"Sell, sell" The middle-aged merchant replied while turning his head and ordering his subordinates to take it off.
There is a profitable business, and if you don't do it, you are a fool.
Kuro didn't understand what Zheng Peng was going to do, and watched him walk out with the dirty clothes, and after a while, when Zheng Peng came back again, he was so surprised that his eyes almost fell.
Zheng Peng is still Zheng Peng, but he wears shabby clothes, his hair is messed up a little, and after a while, he has changed from a beautiful young man to a peddler and pawn.
Although the appearance and temperament of this peddler's pawn are good, compared with just now, it is obviously a few grades lower.
really responded to that sentence, Buddha relies on gold, and people rely on clothes.
Kuro opened his mouth to say something, but Guo Ziyi on the side grabbed him, remembered what Zheng Peng had said, couldn't say the last word, and then watched Zheng Peng go downstairs.
Soon, Zheng Peng was out on the street, only to see him first smile indifferently at the two people upstairs, and then walked to the middle of the street.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way"
"Where do you stink, get out of the way."
"Walk with clear eyes, stop my horse, do you want to eat the whip?
Zheng Peng, who changed his clothes, was disliked by people in various ways on the crowded street, and even some subordinates relied on the prestige of their masters to loudly reprimand Zheng Peng, in their eyes, Zheng Peng was an insignificant lower-class person.
Zheng Peng winked at the two who were a little stunned, and pretended to inadvertently bump the brightly dressed middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was the middle-aged man who had just been teaching the young man a lesson, he was the shopkeeper of a leather shop and often solicited business on the street.
found that someone bumped into him, turned his head and saw that it was a poor boy with a gray head, and immediately scolded: "Where did the poor ghost come from, is he blind, and he wants to die and change places." ”
Zheng Peng lowered his head and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't pay attention just now, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." ”
"Get out, you Tian Shenu, how far and how far you go, don't get in the way of me doing business." The middle-aged man roared violently.
Kuro, who was standing in front of the window on the second floor, saw that he was a little speechless, you know, just before going to the restaurant, when he passed by the fur shop, the middle-aged man bowed his head and asked Zheng Peng to come into the store to see, the same person, after changing clothes, had a completely different treatment.
Zheng Peng naturally didn't care about him generally, and walked into the restaurant by himself.
Soon, Zheng Peng, who had changed back into his original clothes, appeared in front of Kuro again with a graceful demeanor.
"Brother Feiteng, why are you tossing yourself?" Kuro said with some embarrassment.
"Oh, did Brother Kuro see what so-and-so was up to?"
Kuro nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Feiteng meant, let me not mind what happened just now, that person is a snob, right?" ”
"It's just a superficial thing, and it seems that Brother Kuro hasn't really seen the intentions of so-and-so yet."
"Kuro is ignorant, please ask Brother Feiteng for advice." Kuro said respectfully.
Zheng Peng put away his smile and said with a straight face: "People have different statuses, different personalities, and different environments, and it is normal to look down on each other. ”
"Yes." Kuro did not deny it.
"Yes, just now Brother Kuluo also saw that a certain person has an official body in Datang and is also a little famous, but after changing his outfit, he was immediately disliked and scolded by others, what does this mean, the person who scolded Hu Ren just now was not aimed at Hu Ren, but at the root of people's inferiority."
"Those of high status look down on those of low status; The rich look down on the poor; Locals are prejudiced against outsiders, these are everywhere, it's not that the Tang people look down on outsiders and friends of the Qarluq tribe, even in Qarluq, there are also bloodlines and lowliness, right? ”
It was only then that Kuro suddenly realized that Zheng Peng was not proving how bad the middle-aged man's conduct was just now, but that there was a living list of things to untie his knot of dissatisfaction with the people of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, in the Qarluq tribe, they attach great importance to blood kinship, and some surnames are inherently inferior, and it is by no means a minority to bully the weak in the clan.
Kuro opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything.
Zheng Peng smiled slightly, and continued: "The family of ordinary people is a parent, and they are also biased towards their children, some festivals are normal, and some people are not good for the Qarluq tribe, but in fact, they are the same for their own people of the same race, so don't be prejudiced. ”
"Brother Feiteng is right, he has been taught." Kuro said with a look of convincingness.
When he said this, Kuro felt that his original prejudice and resentment against Datang were much less.
Zheng Peng suddenly said with a straight face: "In fact, there is a very serious mistake, and Brother Kuro must face it squarely." ”
"A serious mistake?" Kuro was taken aback and said, "What mistake? ”
Seeing Zheng Peng's expression so solemn, Kuro was a little confused.
Zheng Peng didn't sell it, and said directly: "Estrangement." ”
"Estrangement? What do you mean? ”
