After walking for a long time and changing routes to avoid the rebels, Hong Chengchou was tired and hungry without being able to enter Heyang County to rest.
But while he was sitting on the horse, his demeanor was still intact. There were no wrinkles on his clothes, and there was no trace of fatigue on his expression. His whole body was upright and calm, looking calm and unhurried.
When he passed through Zhengjia Village, he was slightly surprised. It seemed that it had rained around the village. Green grass was growing everywhere around the village, and the trees were growing vigorously. It seemed that wheat had just been harvested in the fields, and there was still a lot of wheat left. pole.
There is even a large pond in the village with a pool of crystal clear water.
This left him a little confused.
But water is always good. Hong Chengchou ordered his men to bring a basin of clean water, took out a comb, combed his hair, washed his face, and tidied himself up. Hong Chengchou could not show up in disgrace, no matter what time, All must maintain good manners.
When he reached the west entrance of Zhengjia Village, he saw a strange gray "stone road" juxtaposed with the official road, which made him even more surprised.
Out of caution, he did not take the weird "stone road", but asked his subordinates to continue walking along the official road. After walking six miles, Gaojiacun arrived.
What village is ahead? Report quickly. "
The servant in charge of scouting immediately reported back: "Master, the front should be Gaojia Village. I passed here two years ago. It was just a small deserted village. For some reason, it has now turned into a huge town."
Hong Chengchou frowned and thought for a while: "In recent years, there has been a severe drought and bandits have been scurrying around, forcing the people to flee everywhere. There are obvious signs of rain in this area. You can plant crops and dig wild vegetables easily. Refugees It’s quite possible to flow here and gather into a big town. There’s nothing strange about it. Don’t be surprised and look like a worldly bumpkin. Remember my Hong family’s family motto and manners. Pay attention to yourself anytime and anywhere. Don't make other people laugh at your demeanor.
The servant quickly calmed down his expression.
Hong Chengchou: "Since there is a big town, we can stop and rest for a while. Let's go."
The Hong family servants escorted the grain transport team and slowly walked into Gaojia Village.
Shi Jian, the sentinel of the militia in Gaojia Village, spotted this group of people from a distance and hurried back to report. So Cheng Xu immediately hid behind the scenes, while Thirty-Two took Gao Yiye and a few literati to greet them. come out.
No one dares to ignore the fourth-rank officials of the imperial court.
Li Daoxuan's attention suddenly became full. Hong Chengchou is a man who has been famous for a long time. He has used the "hand of destruction" to kill the number one traitor in "The Legend of Erchen" in one fell swoop.
but.....
Is this really the right thing to do?
Hong Chengchou will surrender in more than ten years. That will happen later, but it has not happened yet.
Can you judge a person by something that hasn't happened yet?
Doesn’t seem good!
In the Marvel movie, Xiao Jianjian travels back to before World War II and sees the Führer as a baby. No, he has no chance.
If something has never happened, you can prevent it from happening. The best way is not to give a person the opportunity to experience that kind of test.
Li Daoxuan sighed softly: Hong Chengchou! Maybe... I'm here this time, so I won't let you lose your panties again, so I won't kill you yet.
Hong Chengchou and his party walked into Gaojia Village while maintaining an upright manner.
All the servants of the Hong family were in high spirits, high-spirited, and had unsquinting eyes. Hong Chengchou himself even held his chest and head high, with a dignified appearance.
However, although he looked like he was not squinting, in fact his eyes were moving wildly, and he was quickly looking at everything in Gaojiacun.
The castle walls are as high as three feet. The squires in this village are extremely powerful, comparable to those of ordinary wealthy families.
There are harvested wheat fields and colorful markets in the village...
Weird big car? ? ?
The moment he saw the huge little train, Hong Chengchou almost couldn't maintain his posture, showing an expression like a country bumpkin, and quickly controlled the muscles on his face to prevent them from being distorted in the slightest.
Don't panic, be polite! It must be a trick played by Westerners. Westerners like to play weird-looking things like this. If I show a surprised expression, I will definitely be laughed at by the Western barbarians.
At this moment, Thirty-Two came up to greet him: "I am the steward of the Li family in Gaojia Village. My name is Thirty-Two. I apologize for missing my welcome from afar."
Hong Chengchou didn't speak, but his servant spoke on his behalf: "Our master is Mr. Hong Chengchou of Shaanxi Grain Control Road. He is responsible for escorting the imperial court's grain and grass. He is passing through here and plans to spend the night here."
This is not a strange thing!
When a senior official of the imperial court was on official business, it was very common for him to pass by the house of a wealthy family and stay overnight with Pan Heng. The wealthy family would usually entertain him well and send him off well. This was considered to be a sign of knowledge and a good relationship.
Maybe one day, this high-ranking official will come over to protect you.
Of course Thirty-two understood this unspoken rule and said with a smile: "Master Hong is willing to come here as a guest, of course he is very welcome. I will arrange a place for you immediately.
At this time, Gao Yiye came close to Sanjiu's ear and whispered: "Tianzun has given an order, please invite Hong Chengchou to participate in the hot pot festival and tease him."
After hearing this, the smile on Thirty-Two's face didn't even tremble, and he immediately followed: "By the way, our village happens to be holding the 'Tianzun Hotpot Festival' today. While Mr. Hong is waiting, you might as well go over and have a look."
A question mark slowly popped up above Hong Chengchou's head: "Tianzun Hot Pot Festival?"
Thirty-Two stretched out his hand and pointed towards the pond. Hong Chengchou looked over and saw hundreds of large pots on the open space beside the pond, boiling water. The boiling soup looked very tempting. It looks like there are many large tables next to it, and different ingredients are placed on each table.
There are meat and vegetables, sea, land and air...
During this severe drought, this village actually has such a rich and colorful food?
Was there any mistake?
Hong Chengchou's attention was immediately focused there.
Thirty-Two Smiles: "The servants brought here by your Excellency and the military men escorting the grain and grass must be tired and hungry. Why not go to the hot pot festival and have a good meal with meat and vegetables?"
Hong Chengchou looked back and saw that all of his men were indeed tired and hungry. Looking at the more than a hundred large pots in front of them, the word "want to eat" was written on everyone's face.
"Um!"
Hong Chengchou still took good care of his servants and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead, participate carefully, pay attention to your appearance, and don't disturb the people here.
The hundreds of servants in his hands, as well as the hundreds of soldiers and civilians escorting the food, cheered together and rushed towards the cauldron of boiling water.
Thus, the Tianzun Hotpot Festival officially opens!
