Chapter 219 Zhenghong flag (9)

The eyes are mostly ignorant, so they look down on learning.He also has no bones, so he despises bones-he values, extremely values, sauce meat. He remembered a few bits and pieces, believable or not, little anecdotes.One of them is his favorite because it has something to do with sauced meat. He said: The wooden pier for cutting cooked meat in the cheap workshop is half a big tree.Why is it so high?In ancient times, the pier for cutting meat was originally very short.Later, the buddies in the banner often like to point fingers, pick and choose, and sometimes pick up shredded or chunks of meat and send them to their mouths.In this way, when the fingers touch the fast knife, some blood will inevitably bleed, which will cause serious disputes and even go to court.Therefore, as soon as Dunzi came and went, he grew taller and taller, so as not to have any relationship between his fingers and the quick knife.

When he told this little anecdote, he didn't put forward his own opinion on whether the meat pier should be raised to separate the fingers from the sharp knife. However, judging from the second little thing he loved to tell, we may also find some subtext. He said: Many, many banner buddies like to sniff snuff.When the customer enters the tobacco shop and passes out the bottle, the clerk must first pour a pinch of snuff on the counter, so that the customer can smell it while waiting to fill the bottle.This is called a rule.That's right, there must be rules in doing business in Beijing, and wild tunes are not allowed.In ancient times, the clerks in the store did not understand the rule of "respecting" the cigarette first, and then loading the cigarette, which made the customers have nothing to do and waited impatiently.So, the bannerman came up with a solution: seeing that there was no small grave on the counter, he put his palm to the clerk's face.In this way, the rule of "respecting" cigarettes was created and consolidated.

If we put these two together - the meat dumpling and the "Jing" cigarette, we can say with certainty that most of the eyes have a problem with the unreachable half tree.We can say it for him, if Bianyifang also knows how to "respect" some sauced pork first, how good it is! Duo Boss seems to have no interest in whether he is in the banner or whether he should maintain the dignity of a bannerman.However, whenever he thought of the rule of "respecting" cigarettes, he had to admit the superiority of the bannermen.Yes, this one, and several similar rules, no matter how you say it, cannot be counted as the creation of the Bannermen.After he became a believer, he even thought about it this way: God created the Beijingers, and the bannermen in Beijing created all the rules.

right!right!Have to keep creating!Shopkeeper Wang refuses to give him a pair of elbows on credit, and refuses to lend him four pennies, okay!Haha, tell him to set up a banquet and apologize publicly!This is just the beginning, there are still many new rules!Duo Boss's face smiles day and night like a siu mai, and it's stuffed with three delicacies. However, shopkeeper Wang refused to apologize! Eyes almost fainted! Shopkeeper Wang was also very uneasy.He refused to find the second child again.Duo Er is an honest man, so you shouldn't embarrass him anymore.He knows that the fault lies with foreigners; however, he has no experience in how to deal with foreigners.He needs help.When he thought about it, he thought of Fu Hai's second brother.Instead of thinking of a bannerman, I think of a friend who is willing to help.

Since Shicheng left, the second elder brother deliberately avoided shopkeeper Wang.Today, shopkeeper Wang came to him suddenly, and he was taken aback. Could it be that 100% came back again, or did something go wrong?He didn't feel relieved until the shopkeeper explained his purpose of coming. However, what shopkeeper Wang is talking about now is even more difficult.He understood clearly: the roots of this matter and those things Shi Cheng said are the same.He can't control it!In other provinces, even the magistrates and magistrates are most afraid of encountering this kind of thing. He himself is just a banner soldier, and he is in Beijing.

He refused to shake his head.It's a matter of human effort, and it has to be done. Shaking your head first is the most unpromising way.He always felt that he was ashamed in front of 100%; now, he couldn't ignore the matter of shopkeeper Wang, shopkeeper Wang was the father of a good man.Besides, the eyes are mostly banner people, and the banner people who embarrass the banner people are particularly hateful!Yes, by all accounts, he's got to take care of it. "Old shopkeeper, look, let's go find Mr. Ding, how about?" Open some money. "How to do this: my status is low, my mouth is hairless, and I can't do things well. Why don't you invite my father and Zheng Weng, one counselor and one assistant leader, to meet Uncle Ding together, or we can get married! Yes! !Try it! Your old man, go back first, don't worry, listen to my reply!"

Uncle Yunting expressed disgust for a bannerman who forgot his origin and went to believe in foreign religions. "Banner people believe in foreign religions, so what about the Han people?" In his daily life, he does not want to draw the line between Manchu and Han too clearly; If you are a Han Chinese, why don't you go there for tea and dinner?However, when encountering major issues, such as whether Manchus and Hans should intermarry, and whether people in the Qing Dynasty should believe in foreign religions, he felt that the Bannermen should be better than the Han people, and he had a certain amount in mind, so he would not make mistakes first.

He despises many bosses, no matter whether he has more eyes or more noses. When he heard that foreigners were involved in this matter, he quickly shook his head.He told the second brother: "Midget your own business!" By the way, the uncle likes to say "Meddling your own business".Whenever he said this, he felt that he had been an official for many years, with rich experience and deep experience. The second brother didn't say anything.On the surface, the father and son are loving fathers and filial sons, but they are not very satisfied in their hearts.The second brother went to find Zhengweng.

August is not over, and September is coming. In terms of weather, this is the best time in Beijing.There is not much wind, nor is it strong, and it is warm and cool, which makes people feel refreshed.In terms of color, in February and August, people dressed indiscriminately, and everyone began to wear colorful clothes, which were no longer as light as in summer.The fruits are fully ripe, and the stalls on the street are displaying all kinds of fruits brought in from all over the world. They are colorful and dress up Beijing's early autumn.The glazed tiles on the palace and the golden roof of the White Pagoda glisten in the sunny sunshine.There is less wind and less dust, just to decorate the facade, and the plaques and facades of the shopkeepers who have made a fortune have added new colors.People who like to play with birds raise them with live grasshoppers all summer long. They feed the birds so that their feathers are plump, red is red, yellow is yellow, and the whole body is shining with a bright and moist luster, which is more beautiful than silk and satin.

There are many jujube trees in the second brother's yard, and some ripe red dates are still hanging on the treetops.He knocked down some, packed them in a bundle, and gave them to Zhengweng and his wife.In those days, bannermen were relatively free, and visiting relatives and friends became an important part of life.Frequently coming and going, everyone observes in detail and remembers clearly: there is a big white apricot with a crooked neck in the yard of someone's house, and there are two "tiger carts" outside the second door of someone's house that love to bloom but not bear fruit.Remember clearly, naturally expect some fruits to be delivered to your door when the time comes, kind and affordable.The eldest sister and mother-in-law never give any fruit to others, because the jujubes and peaches she planted in the past made her stare to death, and then she vowed not to plant fruit trees again.This will give her time to care about other people's peaches, plums and apples. If she doesn't send some to her at that time, it will be treasonous!Therefore, if the second brother did not bring some dates, he would not dare to visit at all.

Brother Dofu is releasing pigeons in the yard.He raised his head, twisted his neck slightly as the pigeon formation circled, and fixed his eyes on the flying "Yuanbao".His neck was a little sore, but "neither bitter nor happy", the joy in his heart was indescribable.After watching for a long time, the dove flew higher and higher, and the clear blue sky became higher and higher, and there seemed to be some small gold stars flying up, down, left, and right on the dove's wings.The sky is so profound and clear, and the pigeons are so distinct in black and white, he had to open his mouth slightly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.People, pigeons, and the sky seem to be breathing, and they are all refreshed, happy, and happy. Today, he only released about twenty pigeons, more than half of them were "black spots" with white bodies, black crested heads, and black tails, and the rest were a few "purple spots" and two "black spots" with black heads, black tails and black wings. Iron Wing Crow".The formation is not large, but the coordination is very elegant.Yes, it is early autumn, the sky is high, and the breeze is cool. If all white or white-tailed pigeons are released, wouldn’t they look light and light, unable to suppress the autumn scenery and cool breeze?Look, look at the short black tail, how thick and powerful it is.Look, those purple tails are indeed a little lighter, but when the pigeon turns around or turns sideways, the tails emit a unique flash of purple feathers!From the overall point of view, the white seems to be too much, but the pair of iron-winged crows are very useful: the middle is white, the sides are black, like two beautiful big flowers!Doesn't this make the pigeons look plain and not fancy?So elegant!Really sophisticated!Looking at his plate of pigeons, the eldest brother-in-law couldn't help laughing at those rich people—they put more than a hundred pigeons in every color, and they were in a mess, which made people panic! "It's not expensive to be expensive"!He remembered the famous saying of the ancients.Although he couldn't remember which ancient person said it, he felt that "there are poems to prove it", and he admired himself even more. In his joy, he did not forget to be vigilant.To play, you have to be wholehearted and meticulous.Although the west wind has not blown many leaves yellow, he no longer puts pigeon bells on the pigeons, for fear that if they are heard for a long time, they will attract "crows and tigers"-a kind of kite that comes to Beijing in autumn, the enemy of pigeons.Don't be careless at all, what if Yahuzi enters Beijing a few days earlier?He kept his eyes on the pigeon array, as long as the pigeons showed a little panic and spun around unhurriedly, they must have seen the enemy.He hastened to recruit them down, never taking any chances.The pigeons didn't look disturbed at all today, but he didn't dare to let them fly too high.Yahuzi will attack at high altitude.He opened the pigeon gate, released a few old and weak soldiers, and flew to the house.The pigeons in the air quickly clasped their wings and landed.His heart returned from the sky to his chest. The second brother has been standing in the courtyard for a while.He knew that when Dofu was playing, he could do nothing else, he couldn't hear or see, and he hated being intruded.Seeing that the pigeons landed safely on the roof, he dared to say, "Duofu, that's not bad!" "Hey! Second brother!" Duofu saw the guests.He wanted to say a few words of apology, but he was focused on the pigeon, so Shuangxing continued to say what his second brother said: "What? Not bad? Is it just not bad? See what you said! This is some real knowledge! I Call them down and take a closer look! Each one is worth looking at for half a day!" He sprinkled a handful of sorghum into the fence, and all the pigeons flew down. "Look! If you're looking for samples of purple dots and black dots, they're all here! Look, they're all crested, and what a big, handsome crested! Beautiful! Fly, beautiful! ;Fall down, beautiful; this is a real play!" Before the second brother could appreciate those beautiful crested heads carefully, Duo Fu pointed to a pair of "purple tiger hats" and said: "Second brother! Look at this A pair of treasures! The hat has been draped over the shoulders, what a good size, and there is not a stray hair! Tell you, there is nowhere to find it!" He lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that the wall would have ears: "Qing From the palace! Xiuquan in the palace, a pair of eggs stolen by Xiuba Shi! After all, they are stuff in the palace, the hatched ones are not pigeons, but phoenixes!" "Well! It's really decent! You have to give it to Xiubashi for one or two eight dollars?" I gave him three taels. But, how much is this pair of little treasures worth? Second brother, if you don’t believe me, immediately bid for ten taels of silver, and see if I’ll give it to you!” "Then, I still have the money to marry a wife!" "That's not entirely true!" Dofu lowered his voice, "You remember Bo Sheng's second master Bo, didn't he trade his wife for a pair of blue aconites?" in the baggage. "Second brother, is the tree in your house ripe? Hey! I really like to eat the kind of 'lotus seeds' from your place. It's sweet and sour, with small kernels and tender skin! It's so good! I thank you!" He said Please greet me and take over the burden.After entering the main room, the second elder brother greeted the two elder relatives, said hello, and then offered a gift: "There is nothing to honor you, just some red dates from my homeland!" The eldest sister came in to offer tea, then she seemed to say something, but she didn't seem to say anything, she just found the most suitable place in a regular manner, and stood there with her hands down. Duofu wants to eat dates wholeheartedly, and always wants to reach into the burden with his hand.The eldest sister's mother-in-law stared back at his hand, and then ordered: "Daughter-in-law, put it in my box!" The eldest sister took the burden away, and the eldest brother-in-law felt cold for a while. With the eldest sister and mother-in-law present, it was inconvenient for the second brother to mention the matter of shopkeeper Wang, for fear that she would stop him as the Viscount's daughter.She has her own views and methods on everything, whether she understands it or not.Once she said "don't care", it is absolutely inconvenient for Zheng Weng to disobey.This is not to say that Zhengweng is a bit henpecked, but he advocates a truth - "no matter" is easier than "manage".The second brother is patient, even if the eldest sister and mother-in-law sit there all day, he will remain still and talk nonsense. The eldest sister coughed so lightly out of nowhere.Only the eldest sister can cough so lightly, it makes those who are interested in listening can hear something, and even those who are not interested in it find it very pleasant, and those who seem to be interested in listening but not interested in listening both find it very pleasant, and may also understand something. Come.This is her skill.The eldest sister and mother-in-law heard it, stared and bowed.The second elder brother heard the cough and saw the bow, and quickly smiled and said, "If you have something to do, please do it!" The eldest sister and mother-in-law walked out very solemnly.Only then did the second brother explain his intentions to the two hostesses. Before Duo Fu could fully understand the matter, his anger rose from his heart, and his evil turned to his gallbladder. "What? Foreigners? Who are foreigners? I'll fight against them! The Qing Dynasty is a celestial state, and all foreign countries should pay tribute and become ministers!" He immediately came up with a specific method: "Second brother, don't worry about it, all of you will pay tribute to them!" Give it to me! Brothers who are good at battalion, who are soldiers in the warehouse, are there too many? About thirty or forty couples, it’s not too late! He has so many eyes, even the Thousand-Eyed Buddha, I beat him blind too! "" Fighting in groups? "Second brother asked with a smile. "Yes! Lay down and beat him! Beat him so much that he calls his father, pull him down! Don't scream, beat him to death!" Dofu stood up, shook his shoulders, swung his fists, and spat hard twice. "Duofu," the banner man's culture had already been mentioned so high that Zhengweng called his son by his name in front of the guests instead of his name. "Duofu, sit down!" Seeing his son sitting down, Zheng Weng didn't want to cough at first, but it seemed necessary to cough, so he coughed in a tone for a while, and then asked his second brother: "Master Ding will take care of it." Is this a thing?" "I don't know, that's why I'm here to ask you for help!" "I see, I see, it's best not to do things that you're not sure about!" Zheng Weng said slowly, pretending to be very thoughtful. "Let's fight first, what's there to be sure about?" Dofu was still very resolute. "Yes, I can go and invite two yellow belts, and I'm sure you'll be fine after playing!" "Duofu," Zheng Weng took out a four-dollar note, "here, go out for a walk! See if there is a good Xiaobai Pears, buy a few, I’ve been on fire for the past two days.” Duofu took the money, turned around and left, full of the filial piety and courage of Zi Lu. "Second brother, you sit down, I'll find Xiao Baili for the old man! When to call, I'll listen to you and be sure!" He walked out shaking his shoulders. "Zhengweng, you..." the second brother asked. "Second brother," Zheng Weng called affectionately, "Second Brother! We'd better not go to Tan Hunshui!" In this kind of place, Zheng Weng and Yun Weng are somewhat different: when Yun Weng refuses to help, he tries to make others notice With his status, he shouldn't act rashly.As for Zheng Weng, after all, he is used to playing with birds and tickets. Although he refused to help, he said it kindly, taking into account the interests of both parties. "Let's go and listen to the books! Shuanghouping and Hengyongtong both said 'Journey to the West', it's really interesting!" "I'll accompany you another day, another day! Today..." The second brother was very unhappy, although he didn't show it on his face—maybe the smile was more obvious and less natural.He despises Dofu's hypocrisy: he knows he is not good enough, but he still likes to talk big, just to make his lips comfortable.Even if he really wanted to fight in groups, it would only prove that he was confused; couldn't he see that the bannerman's prestige was not as great as it used to be?For Zheng Weng, the second brother looked down on him even more.He was completely indifferent to the matter, he wanted to hear it! The eldest sister and mother-in-law are in front, and the eldest sister is behind, and they come in together.The eldest sister returned the burden to the second brother, which contained something.It is a rule not to ask guests to leave with empty bags, which is why the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law avoided it for a long time.The eldest sister and mother-in-law are delicious and can't save anything.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law searched everywhere, and came across a small box of almond powder, which was produced in the 16th year of Guangxu. "That's all right!" The eldest sister comforted her mother-in-law: "Anyway, there is something weighing on the burden, so it makes sense!" The second brother took the almond flour from the past year, thanked Ann, and resigned.After going out the gate, I opened the bag, looked at it, and threw the small box on the garbage dump - in those days, there were garbage dumps everywhere, which was very "convenient".
