Halfway through the journey, when the sun was rising above the treetops, groups of people appeared behind Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue naturally recognized that it was the group of people who were resting in the wild. Uncle Tang had summoned them, and they were walking in twos and threes. Zhang Ye quietly withdrew from the group of people and went to the roadside to urinate without speaking to them. That group of people naturally knew Zhang Yue, but they seemed to have been ordered to do something and pretended not to know. But they all moved around this group of people consciously. The six people of the Tang family are in the front, all dressed in shorts; Er Guo and Lu Bo are dressed as civilians; the five retainers are scholars; and the six soldiers of Zheng Anping are at the end, also in civilian clothes. When Wei and his entourage saw people walking on the street, whether they recognized them or not, they nodded in a friendly way and said hello, but they consciously opened a slight distance to keep these people outside. Zhang Zou couldn't find a chance to talk to them, so he had to give up.
The first settlement on the trip has arrived. The first team sat down in the open space outside the settlement, followed by the second team and the third team. When Er Guo and his entourage saw this group of people taking a rest, they each found a place to spread out and sit down. Among this group of people, there were five or six other people in the other groups. They each found a place and formed a circle, sitting or lying down. Only Er Guo and Lu Bo were dressed as merchants, and there were only three of them, and they walked directly towards the Wei family group. . Arriving about three feet in front of the people of the Wei family, Lu Bo took the lead, followed by Er Guo. He bowed and saluted and said: "Lv family, a merchant in Luoyang, I pay my respects to everyone. I dare to ask your hometown noble family!"
Zhang Nou just pretended not to know and sat among this group of people, ignoring him. When the elder of the Wei family saw three people approaching and saluted, he pointed with his eyes and said, "Bring the merchants here!" A young man walked over, returned the salute, and brought the three people over. Guo's uncle and nephew had only dealt with Zeng Ji, and had never met Wei and his party. Since Zeng Ji had gone nowhere, Wei and his party did not know the identities of the three of them.
The three of them arrived in front of the elders of the Wei family, saluted twice, and said, "I have never heard of a noble family in your hometown. With hundreds of chariots, sticks, food, and meters, you must be a big family. I am a member of the Lu family in Luoyang. Fortunately, we met each other. Fortunately, we met each other." How wonderful!"
The elder of the Wei family said: "We are the late Zheng Wei. May I ask, sir, where do you want to go?"
Lu Bo said: "It turns out that we are from the Zheng Hua clan. The lowly ones are disrespectful! The lowly ones want to unblock them. They dare to ask about your family name and go to unblock them. The lowly ones dare to attach Jiwei."
An old man from the Wei family said: "Where did you come from, sir, and why did you go to Qifeng?"
Lu Bo said: "The humble waiters rely on grain and rice to survive, and they want to go and ennoble Jia."
A veteran of the Wei family said: "You live on grain and rice? Who wouldn't?" The joke caused a burst of laughter from the people around him, and there was a hint of embarrassment on Lu Bo's face, but he tried his best to hide it with a smile. The elder of the Wei family was very satisfied with his cleverness and did not joke further. He pointed at the three groups of people on the roadside and said, "Are these guys going to unblock it too?"
Lu Bo said: "There are only three of us. We only meet each other by chance, and we don't know where we are going."
A veteran of the Wei family said: "There are people like this who are just in harmony with each other, but they don't do it. What do you want from us?"
Lu Bo looked troubled and didn't know how to respond. The elder of the Wei family saw that Lu Bo was silent and said further: "These three people are walking on the same road with you, and they are as powerful as ice and fire. Who can kiss us alone?"
Lu Bo's face turned red and he gritted his teeth and said, "These three people are either short browns or scholars, but the Gui clan is clothed in commoners, so I would like to support each other."
The elders of the Wei family laughed loudly when they heard this, and said to the people around him: "After all, the people of Luoyi are very polite. They follow the road and keep company, and they also regard their clothes. - Forget it, we are on our way to Qifeng. Sir, we will not give up, so we can follow as we please. ——But it cannot be included in the list.”
The three people hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare! Don't dare to disturb us!"
The elder of the Wei family did not want to say more and waved his hand for them to leave. The three of them took a few steps back, sat down on the spot, and took out the grains they had brought with them. However, there was no water around, and they did not bring gourds. The grains were difficult to swallow without water. Several people stood up hesitantly and looked around.
Zhang Yue understood that they were looking for an opportunity to get close to him, but it was not convenient for him to leave, so he sat upright on the ground, put his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes. The three people understood this and gave a signal to the other three groups, asking them to sit down safely.
The people from the front team came over, each carrying a large can of water. The jars are also covered with a bowl. Several people walked up to the elders of the Wei family and said, "This town is very lucky to have a well, which is quite refreshing."
The elder of the Wei family opened one of the jars, poured out a small amount, put it in his mouth, tasted it, nodded and said, "It's quite sweet. But I saw him draw water with me." The leader said, "I saw him draw water with me. The jar costs one cent." Thirty dollars in total.”
The elder of the Wei family said: "Well, it's well water after all! Let's distribute it." The leader waved, and the leading figures in Sifang Township came to get water. The leader said: Be careful not to break the pots or bowls, or you will lose money.
Obviously, the leader is not stingy. After each group of people took away a can of water, there were still four cans left, and there were only about ten people around the Wei family. The elder of the Wei family said: "It's hard to drain the water, so put some gourds and gourds to hold it."
The leader said: "Let us go to the city to inquire."
An old saying from the Wei family said: "You have to work hard ahead and eat before you eat."
Hearing this, Zhang Ye stood up and said, "Brother, please go. I'm standing in line with you. I have no merit and I'm uneasy. I dare to invite you."
An old man from the Wei family asked: "Do you have a history in the city?"
Zhang Ye said: "No reason."
The elder of the Wei family said: "Do you know who is the boss of Hu?"
Zhang Ye said: "Although I have no reason to go through the countryside many times, I know that there must be a Jia among them, so I will not do anything."
Although the leader began to volunteer, he was just trying to please the elders of the Wei family. In fact, he did not want to go, so he said to Zhang Jue: "If you enter three families in the city and there is a county gourd hanging in the door, you can go to Jia. Depending on the size, you can go to Jia. One, two, or three dollars.”
Zhang He bowed deeply and said: "I feel deeply grateful for your kindness, brother. I will definitely succeed if I go here."
When the elders of the Wei family saw the two of them singing together, they knew that they had been working hard all the way and that everyone wanted to be comfortable. Some people were willing to work hard, so he said to Zhang Noi, "You can go to Jia and settle the accounts after the work is done."
When Zhang Yu heard this, he was stunned: He had to advance money by himself to catch up with her! The people around him realized that this man might be short of money, and deliberately shouted: "Let's go to Jia Zhi, and the business will be settled in public."
Zhang Ye was stunned, bowed deeply and left. He walked straight to Lu Bo and others and bowed deeply. When everyone saw Zhang Yu's move, they all burst into laughter. They both laughed at his incompetence and praised him for his quick wit. Sure enough, as everyone expected, Lu Bo and the other three people saw Zhang Yu salute and stood up to return the salute. After a while, Lu Bo and Zhang Yu went to the city together. A veteran of the Wei family said: "You should know that scholars traveling among the princes are as poor as this and as knowledgeable as this." This caused everyone to laugh again.
Zhang Ye and Lu Bo finally came together. Zhang Ye acted like a virtuous corporal and was polite to Lu Bo; Lu Bo acted respectful and answered all questions. Walk all the way to the city.
