"Aren't you... just a ranger? Could it be that you are also a prostitute?" Huo Guang couldn't help but grin.
As we all know!
There were no kilns to visit in the Han Dynasty!
But some singers can be trained to serve the visiting guests.
Among them, the most famous one for training singers is Princess Pingyang. Why is it said to be her? Because even the current Queen Wei Zifu came from Princess Pingyang's house.
Also for this reason.
Some crooked literati would even describe the two strongest SSRs brought by the Empress as the male prostitutes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Of course.
This is a bit far-fetched.
As for the word "client", it never appeared during the Han Dynasty.
so.
The middle-aged man didn't know whether Huo Guang's words were good or bad. He just looked at him with interest, as if he wanted to say something, but endured it.
After a moment, he said: "Yes, I am a ranger!"
Said.
The middle-aged man put down the long sword in his hand, retracted the scabbard, and then continued: "Most of the warriors like us who have lost their land act completely unjustly and betray their conscience and morality for the sake of profit."
"What you say must be true, and what you do must be resolute. It's just to put money on your face under the guise of moral justice!"
"Do you think people like us would be afraid of your brother?"
Hearing this, Huo Guang suddenly felt strange.
It's not because the other party isn't afraid of his own champion brother, but because most of his descriptions of the ranger are derogatory.
Such words?
It's not strange for others to say so, but isn't he himself a ranger? What does it mean to scold yourself?
Is it possible...
Are there people similar to "angry youth" among the Rangers?
Thinking of this, Huo Guang shrugged and asked, "Then why are you, a ranger, here at the general's residence? Do you want to steal something?"
"Stealing something?" The middle-aged man suddenly became furious and said, "Fart, everyone..."
When Huo Guang heard the man's voice stop suddenly, he immediately asked: "What's going on in the world?"
The man rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Pu Tian is my name. I came to the General's Mansion at the invitation of Wei Qing. I came in an honest manner. Why should I steal something?"
"Um..." Huo Guang looked at the serious look on the man who called himself Pu Tian, as if he had offended him, so he had to say: "Then I think I've looked down on others, so as an apology, I'll treat you to chicken !”
Said.
Huo Guang quickly handed the still warm mud ball to Pu Tian.
But the other party didn't answer.
He even frowned, glared at Huo Guang, and said angrily: "You call this a chicken?"
Huo Guang was stunned for a moment by the question. He glanced at the dried mud ball in his hand and understood why the other party had misunderstood him.
So he explained: "Of course it's not the mud ball outside. What's wrapped inside is the chicken I want to treat you to!"
Finished.
Huo Guang knelt down and slammed the mud ball on the ground several times.
With these few blows, the lumps of soil covering the beggar's chicken began to fall off, and instantly, the aroma of chicken wafted out from it, filling the entire room.
Even Pu Tian couldn't help but twitch his nose when he smelled it, and praised: "It smells so good!"
fragrant?
That's right.
Huo Guang didn't care whether his hands were clean or not, he just broke off a big chicken leg and handed it to Pu Tian.
As a knight-errant, he also wanted to be free and unrestrained. He didn't have so many bullshit scribe rules. He took the chicken leg and started to chew on it.
It is crispy, tender and has a unique flavor.
Pu Tian's eyes suddenly widened.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, give me some more!" Pu Tian said, and started to break up the beggar's chicken.
Huo Guang suddenly became anxious and said, "Hey, please save some, I'm going to bring some to my brother to try!"
Pu Tian, on the other hand, said nonchalantly: "Didn't you say that your brother is a famous Hussar General? Huo Qiaoqi was born into a noble family. He has never eaten any good food, so he still cares about these roast chickens?"
"What kind of roast chicken? This is beggar's chicken!" After saying that, Huo Guang also briefly explained the production process of beggar's chicken to distinguish it from the usual unpalatable roast chicken.
Um!
The roast chicken of the Han Dynasty was not the delicious crispy roast chicken of later generations.
Very unpalatable.
After listening to Huo Guang's words, Pu Tian frowned and said, "The way you behave like begging chicken sounds similar to the 'cannonball' in Zhou Bazhen."
Zhou Bazhen?
Huo Guang knew a little about an earlier ancient palace banquet menu.
Looking at the foodie in front of him, he began to secretly make his own plans.
Rangers are all rich people!
Although most of their money is not used for justice, that is, the money they make from using people's money to eliminate disasters for others.
But there is money after all.
It is said that the one who takes advantage of others is short-handed and the one who eats others is soft-mouthed. This Putian ate his own food, and Huo Guang would not be able to forgive himself if he didn't give him a handful of wool.
I was thinking about these things in my mind.
Pu Tian, who was eating chicken next to him and still couldn't keep his mouth shut, asked again: "By the way, you just said that I was a prostitute. How do you explain this prostitute?"
visit a prostitute?
Forehead...
Huo Guang suddenly frowned. How could he explain this to Pu Tian?
If it was after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it would have a completely derogatory meaning! But now is the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is what historians call the "Western Han Dynasty".
Prostitution can only be a compliment.
For example, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty named his daughter Princess Guantao Liu Piao, which means she is light and agile.
But for some reason, in the Qing Dynasty, the meaning of the word "whoring" changed.
Huo Guang is not a fool. When Pu Tian asked this, of course he would not directly tell the original meaning of those two words in later generations.
"Aren't you a ranger? I'm praising you for your good health, agility and speed!"
Pu Tian had no doubts about Huo Guang's explanation.
He just frowned and asked again: "Hey, boy, I saw you looking nervous when you entered my room just now. You seemed to have done something wrong, right?"
Huo Guang rolled his eyes immediately and said, "I asked you, uncle, what's the matter? I treated you to chicken, but you said I did something wrong. How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?"
"The filthy person is innocent? Are you sure?" Pu Tianruo said pointedly: "The person outside who spoke loudly just now is Old General Cheng."
"This old general has always been strict, and he can be as simple as possible on weekdays. I heard that the family even raised a yard of poultry, but today they were spoiled by the Li family and the three sons of General Wei Qing."
"You must not know the origin of this chicken, right?"
After hearing this.
Huo Guang looked surprised. He didn't expect that what he did was guessed by the man in front of him.
Outrageous!
It seems that this man's wisdom is no less than that of Dongfang Shuo and Master Fu Yan who are above the court.
His identity may be more than just a ranger.
But then again!
Now that Pu Tian had guessed it, there was no point in Huo Guang's sophistry. He simply admitted openly: "Yes, this chicken is raised by them. Anyway, it has been beaten to death by us naughty kids."
"As the saying goes, a dead chicken cannot be resurrected."
"It's not a big deal if I take it out to eat."
"Take, hum, I think 'stealing' and 'robbing' are more appropriate words to describe your behavior!" Pu Tian frowned, expressing contempt for Huo Guang's behavior.
However, Huo Guang waved his hand and said, "Whatever you say, you ate it anyway. If you really want to elaborate, you can't escape the involvement."
When Pu Tian heard that he had been involved, he immediately became angry and scolded: "You boys, you'd better behave yourself and don't act rashly when you are young and energetic!"
When Huo Guang heard these words, he suddenly remembered the famous sayings of a certain melon-picker in his previous life.
Immediately.
He grinned and replied: "How can I be called a young man if I'm not so angry?"
