Chapter 81 The small circle of aristocratic families


    There is no intermission during public lectures, but you can change clothes secretly without disturbing others.


    This is the conclusion Fei Qian came to after secretly paying attention to the people in the venue, and it can be regarded as solving his urgent need.


    Xun Yu talked until noon, and then there was about an hour of free discussion time. If you have any questions, you can ask Xun Yu. At this time, people''s movements are not restricted by the venue, so most of the people in the venue dispersed, forming their own small circles in twos and threes.


    Fei Qian had no intention of looking for the circle of Heluo gentry. Firstly, although he was considered to be from Heluo, he was a branch of the clan after all. He had not had any special contacts before and was not very familiar with him. Secondly, it was said that the Sima clan in Hanoi did not appear this time. There is no point in looking for other Hanoi nobles when people come here - it is better to go and see the circle of Yingchuan nobles.


    With this idea in mind, Fei Qian hung out with Zao Zhi in the name of meeting the heroes of Yingchuan.


    Unfortunately, after two turns, Fei Qian found that he had made some mistakes.


    I originally thought that Zao Zhi was at least a member of Yingchuan Changshe, and could be regarded as a local snake. However, I didn’t expect to follow Zao Zhi, and found out that Zao Zhi didn’t receive much attention or welcome. The two people talked most about meeting each other. I told them my name and origin, and then basically no one paid any attention to me...


    After following Zao Zhi through several small circles but unable to get in or make conversation, Fei Qian secretly pulled Zao Zhi and asked, "Has Zijing ever participated in such a grand event before?"


    "Huh? No, this is my first time..." Zao Zhi was a little embarrassed. Did you see this?


    ?Fei Qian almost wanted to cover his face - I knew you shouldn''t come to me the first time, I don''t like this...


    Fei Qian looked around and saw that the area closest to the high platform belonged to the Chen family. The level of the gentry circle like the Xun family seemed a bit high. His reputation was still small. Even if he brought out old man Cai Yong and Cai, it would probably not be very good. Use it, it’s better to settle for the next best thing and find something else...


    By the way, I still don’t know what Guo Jia looks like. When I come to Yingchuan, it would be good to meet Guo Jia...


    Soon Fei Qian asked Zaozhi, "Does Zijing know where Guo Jia is?"


    "The Guo family..." Zao Zhi turned around and looked around, pointed at a place to the east of the venue, and said, "...that''s it, do you want to go there?"


    Fei Qian became a little excited and wanted to see Guo Jia. He didn''t pay much attention at that moment and said he wanted to go.


    As a result, when I followed Zao Zhi to the east of the venue, and saw the few people Zao Zhi mentioned, I suddenly felt something was not right...


    The three people in front of him are all middle-aged, about thirty or forty years old. The one on the far left is short and fat, the one in the middle has darker skin, and the one on the right is thinner - Fei Qian is wondering, which one looks more like Guo Jia? The thin one on the right?


    Fei Qian stepped forward, saluted, and said his name.


    The man with darker skin in the middle looked at Fei Qian up and down, and said calmly: "Heluofei family? I would like to advise Dr. Fei Min, who are you Fei Zihao?" - There are many people in the Heluofei family, which branch are you from? of?


    “It’s my uncle.” Fei Qian replied.


    —He is indeed an uncle anyway, so you can guess whether he is considered a member of the family...


    "Oh..." The dark-skinned man exchanged glances with the two people next to him, and said with a slight smile on his face: "Then you made a special trip to Xun''s house to listen to the lecture?" - Why didn''t the members of this family study at home? Are you here to listen to Xun''s lectures?


    “No, I was on a study tour in Jingxiang under the orders of my master, and it just happened to coincide with his meeting.”


    "Oh, I wonder who you are studying under?" - Study tour, this is a higher level, it seems that it is not an ordinary family.


    “I would like to add you to the sect of Shizhong Cai.” Fei Qian arched his hands toward Luoyang to express his respect for his division commander Cai Yong.


    “Oh! Oh! But Cai Yong, Cai Shizhong?”


    “Exactly!” Old Man Cai’s signature can’t defeat the top nobles, but it’s still pretty easy to use against ordinary nobles…


    The three people’s eyes suddenly became round. This is Cai Yong’s disciple! Quickly meet again.


    “Yingchuan Guo Dan, Guo Yuanyi.” The dark-skinned middle-aged man cupped his hands.????This is not...


    “Yingchuan Guo Feng, Guo Zhongxin.” said the short, fat middle-aged man.


    ?This is not...


    “Yingchuan Guo Lan, Guo Zibo.” The thin middle-aged man also bowed his hands and said to Fei Qian.


    …


    ?Fei Qian felt as if a flock of crows were flying across the sky...


    ??Isn’t it Guo Jia that we agreed on?


    Why is it that the living person has disappeared?


    Fei Qian was just about to turn around and ask Zao Zhi what was going on, when he suddenly remembered that he had just asked "Guo Jia", and Zao Zhi''s answer was most likely "Guo Jia". This was a mistake...


    Who else could be blamed? Fei Qian was so excited that he neglected to explain clearly. He forgot that in the Han Dynasty, people were called by characters. This "Jia" was not the other "家". Fortunately, the two characters had the same pronunciation, otherwise he might have been called "Zao". I only thought that I had a grudge against Guo Jia, both by name and surname...


    Since we are all here, we can’t turn around and leave immediately, otherwise it would be too rude.


    Let’s talk about the five-baht guys first. Fei Qian said he wasn’t very happy that he didn’t see Guo Jia.


    Zao Zhi found it difficult to integrate into other people''s small circles, but Fei Qian said that it didn''t matter. After all, people who have been to cocktail parties in later generations can chat very harmoniously with people they don''t know and can''t get along with. , let alone dealing with three unknown middle-aged members of the Guo family?


    ?Listen first to what is being said, and then summarize and extend it a little. This can not only show that you are listening attentively, but also trigger new topics - Fei Qiang is actually very skillful in this method.


    Zao Zhi looked at Fei Qian with admiration. He didn''t expect that in just a few words, he could be so harmonious with a stranger, like he had been friends for many years. It was really amazing... and he was actually a disciple of Cai Yong, Cai Shizhong. From yesterday to today, I didn’t say anything at all, and I didn’t become arrogant because of it. What a humble gentleman...


    Fei was so deep down that he didn''t notice the little stars popping out of Zao Zhi''s eyes. He just wanted to know from these three people where Guo Jia was. After all, they were all members of the Guo family, so they should know something about it, right?


    Sure enough, when Fei Qian asked these three people under the guise of a friend in Luoyang who mentioned Guo Jia, the dark-skinned Guo Dan and Guo Yuanyi in the middle said with some surprise: "Oh? Guo Fengxiao? Why do you ask?"


    "This... I really don''t know, I just mentioned it..." - It can''t be said that it was seen from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, right?


    “You are a gambling and alcoholic person, have you ever deceived your friends?” said Guo Feng, a short, fat, middle-aged man.


    “Huh?! Guo Fengxiao deceived people?” Fei Qian didn’t believe his ears.


    Guo Lan, a thin middle-aged man, said, seeming a little helpless that such a person has appeared in the Guo family, "The family has no spare money, and he is very addicted to alcohol. With a little intelligence, he often gambles with others and defrauds others of their money." Go and sell wine...sigh..."


    What? !


    ??Is Guo Jia a gambler? Do you still like to gamble and drink with others?


    ?Oh my God!


    ?Shouldn’t he be a romantic and talented man who is suave, loved by everyone, handsome and unrestrained, and has flowers in full bloom?


    ?This is really incredible, it completely subverts Fei Qian''s three views...


    Guo Jia is famous for his fondness for drinking...but his family came from a poor family, and wine was not a cheap thing in the Han Dynasty. After all, the grain output in the Han Dynasty was only a little...so what should people who like drinking do if they don''t have money? Hehehe, has it subverted the three views? Please vote for recommendations and collect them... By the way, Xun Shuang made a great contribution to the dissemination and popularization of the Book of Changes... The Three Kingdoms did not just have Liu, Guan, and Zhang...
