Mr. Liang Wei took out a set of clothes, and everyone took them from Mr. Liang's hand, including Mr. Hu Zhong. There were a few sets left in the basket, and I don't know who they were prepared for. Daliang Wei said: "Young masters, please come to the table in a short while and change your clothes after the meal. Please put your clothes in the basket and send someone to send them outside the city. You don't need to take the grain with you. However, it is inconvenient to drive out of the city. Please put your house and grass in it." The fodder and drinking water will be borne by the dogs as soon as they are needed, and they will not be left behind. However, each family must not be allowed to take it back to avoid leakage."
Everyone saluted and said, "Here!"
Mr. Hu Zhong secretly gave Mang Yin a push. Mang Yin said: "It's not easy for Lieutenant Daliang to get such many clothes. I am willing to hear how much they cost, and I will pay them according to the price!"
Captain Daliang said: "The linen clothes are short and brown. How much are they worth? I have to ask you to pay for them! This is a military service and is not for daily use. You don't have to pay the price. You can rest assured!"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Although it is military affairs, why should Lieutenant Daliang bear it all? We are not talented, so we are willing to share the responsibility."
Captain Daliang said: "Sir, there is no need to say more. The Art of War says that military salutes do not enter the country, and the salute of bowing has to be returned here!" Mr. Hu Zhong had to retreat after hearing this.
The banquet was held in front of the hall. According to Daliang Wei's saying that "military salutes are not allowed in the country", military salutes were all performed. There was no mutual singing or singing, and no wine and food were served. Each person had a gui, a cauldron and a cup, and they were served in one dish; Everyone holds it and goes to the stove to get their meal. Even Daliang Wei is no exception. Mr. Liang Wei was sharing the meal, and the millet, meat and soup were divided equally. After everyone has taken their food, they return to their seats and wait for Captain Daliang's order to eat together. After a while, the food table was returned and everyone returned to their rooms to change clothes.
Mr. Mang Yin and Mr. Hu Zhong returned to Mang Shen's wing as usual and opened the three sets of cloth clothes they received, each with six pieces inside and outside. These had obviously been worn by someone, and were stained with oil, sweat, or dust, and had a strong smell. Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Liang Daliang acted thoughtfully. It's possible that this was peeled off the body of a merchant, but I am not as good as me: although it is also a commoner, it has so many stains. After all, it is clean, and it is not the same."
Mang Yin and Mang Shen were born in a noble family. Although Mang Yin experienced poverty when he was young, he did not have to work hard. The two of them suffered all day long just sitting upright. They had never heard of such filth, and they were both embarrassed. Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Young master, please don't hesitate. There must be a reason for Daliang Wei to do this, and he must be patient for a while." As he said this, he took off his clean cloth and put on a set of dirty cloth. The two brothers had no choice but to take off their military uniforms and put on dirty common clothes that they had never worn before. Afterwards, he took his clothes and returned to the front of the hall.
Mr. Liang Wei did not go to change his clothes, but still stood guard in front of the hall. The clothes basket was still there, but the remaining clothes had been taken away. Seeing Mang Yin and others coming out, Mr. Liang Wei stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mang and Mr. Hu Zhong are quick. Please put your clothes in the basket. Remember to identify each one. There will be no confusion behind the city."
The three of them were a little confused. Mr. Hu Zhong said: "The eldest son is changing clothes with Daliang Wei and others?"
Mr. Liang Wei said: "Exactly."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Where is it?"
Mr. Liang Wei said: "I don't know this."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "If the three of us change clothes in one place, it is not cheap for the three of us to make a bag."
Mr. Liang Wei said: "Sir, you are a great talent and you have some extraordinary insights."
Mr. Hu Zhong followed Mang Yin and Mang Shen and said, "I see that none of the others have cloth clothes. It would be better for the master to wrap his armor with the minister's cloth clothes, so that there will be no confusion." Both of them had no objection, so they went to the hall in front of the hall. Open Mr. Hu Zhong's cloth, wrap and bundle the various clothes of Mang Yin and Mang Shen together, make a big package and put it in the basket.
Mr. Hu Zhong asked Mang Shen: "Where are the young master's instruments?"
Mang Shen said: "We will hand over all the equipment and equipment to Daliang Lieutenant to secretly transport them out of the city."
Mr. Liang Wei said: "Sir, there is no need to worry. My father has already made arrangements, and there will be no mistakes."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "But this is a rare thing for me to know. I dare to ask, young master, Daliang Wei was ordered by the king to go out into battle, with an army of 100,000 men, and to show his majesty with flags and drums. Why did he do this obscene thing?"
Mr. Liang Wei said: "The foolish and humble people used this method to consult my father, but they only got scolded and dared not speak again."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "I would like to have your advice, Master, to avoid my reckless mistakes."
While he was talking, he suddenly heard the voice of Lieutenant Liang in the hall: "The dog is too stupid to reach, so he has to drink it; how can he get into the eyes of Mr."
When Mr. Hu Zhong turned around, he saw Lieutenant Daliang, also dressed in cloth, coming down from the hall. He quickly turned around and moved aside. Captain Daliang said: "We are all clothed in commoners, why should we avoid them? If we are not polite to common people, we don't have to salute." As soon as these words came out, Mang Yin and Mang Shen, who were about to salute, were frozen.
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Liang Wei is joking."
Captain Daliang said: "It's not funny! If we go out of the city in commoners, we can walk like commoners. Otherwise, it is better not to change the clothes. From the time of the change, everyone must live in commoners and no longer have the aristocratic atmosphere." Mang Yin , Mangshen should all be here. Lieutenant Daliang said dissatisfied: "The positions are clear and the etiquette is carried out like etiquette. How can we look like commoners?" Then regardless of the embarrassment of the two of them, he turned to Mr. Hu Zhong and said: "Sir, what do you think we did when commoners left the city?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "I can't imagine Daliang Wei's plan."
Daliang Wei said: "But it's true."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "But using cloth to sharpen one's self can emulate the ancients' practice of lying on the firewood and tasting courage."
Daliang Wei said: "That's not what it is."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "When the commoners leave the city, they will catch the Qin people unawares and come up with strange plans."
Daliang Wei said: "How many concubines are there? What are you planning?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "This is beyond my knowledge."
Lieutenant Daliang said to the two Mang brothers, "Sir, if you don't say anything, do you two know?"
The two brothers both said: "I don't know."
Captain Daliang said: "This is the policy of Lord Xinling's Mansion. You will know it when you are young."
During the conversation, people came out of each room one after another, and Mr. Liang Wei instructed them one by one to put their clothes and armor on. They wanted to see Liang Wei, but they were stopped one by one with the same reason, and they no longer greeted each other. To be honest, many people don't know what to do when a group of people don't show courtesy when they meet. For these young men who have been educated in etiquette since childhood, many people really don't know what to do. Among the people who came out later, the Mang family unexpectedly discovered that Mr. Subo'an was among them. For those who don't need to be polite, Xu Bo'an is like a fish in water and is extremely active. He would pat someone on the back and hug someone on the shoulder, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
When everyone arrived, the clothes basket was filled again. Mr. Liang Liang closed the lid, called for people to come in, carry the basket out the door, and reload it into the cart for transportation. Everyone gathered around Captain Liang, not knowing the secret. They just looked at him and listened to his orders. Captain Daliang laughed, sat down on the ground, and waved for everyone to sit down too. These young masters were a little confused. Some of them knelt down, and some also imitated Daliang Wei and sat on the ground. Sub'an said to those who were kneeling: "Wrong, wrong, common people do not kneel in their free time. They all sit on the dustpan. They only kneel when serving nobles." Those people changed their posture of sitting on the dustpan uncomfortably. .
Daliang Wei said: "Sitting on the ground or on a dustpan is a common custom in common people. We wear common clothes, that is, we conduct ourselves in common clothes when doing things. We are not polite to common people, and we don't need to be polite to each other. We are just like young masters, ah no , Subo's trip." Seeing that he was praised by Captain Daliang, Subo'an showed a proud look on his face. Seeing this, many people looked away, and Sub'an didn't take it seriously either.
As if he wanted to show his face to Subian on purpose, Lieutenant Daliang said again: "Subo knows the most about the customs of commoners, let him tell you."
Sub'an stood up straight and said: "The custom of commoners, in a nutshell, is not to be afraid of showing one's ugliness. Think about it, why don't you dare to sit on a dustpan for fear of showing your legs? Don't be afraid. You see, farmers are cultivating and merchants are carrying goods. How can you ever feel ashamed when you are naked? If you forget the word shame, you will become a commoner!" The last sentence made everyone happy.
