In fact, the history books Zhuang Zhou is reading now are all based on the life biographies of people during the Zhenguan period.
How could he know that in this era, becoming sworn brothers of the opposite sex was actually an extremely common thing.
The ancient times were different from the present. The ancients attached importance to the narrow spirit. That was because the rule of law in ancient times was not perfect.
It is said that the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people when he breaks the law.
Actually, this is all nonsense.
It's simply impossible.
Therefore, if one wants to gain a foothold in society, most people will choose to make friends and become sworn brothers with people of different surnames.
Because fighting alone is very disadvantageous, we must form a community of interests.
Therefore, in ancient times, any capable and powerful person would have the most sworn brothers.
This has been an extremely common occurrence in history.
The most famous one is the Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood between Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
In other words, if you are an ordinary person with no skills, no one will be willing to become your sworn brother.
This shows that Cheng Zhimo admires Zhuang Zhou from the bottom of his heart.
He recognized Zhuang Zhou as his best friend.
"Brother Zhuang, why don't you say anything? Could it be that you look down on me and don't want to be my brother?"
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou didn't say anything, Cheng Zhimo asked again.
In fact, Zhuang Zhou didn’t want to talk.
But I'm a bit confused!
These are scenes that can only be seen in movies and TV dramas.
and.
Become sworn brothers with different surnames?
Why do I feel so second-rate?
"No, Master Cheng, you misunderstood. I feel that I am just a businessman. If I become your brother, wouldn't that lower your status?"
Zhuang Zhou really doesn't want to do these childish things.
That's when he made up an excuse to shirk responsibility.
But who knows.
Cheng Zhimo laughed out loud when he heard this:
"Since ancient times, heroes have always been judged by their origins. How can someone as capable as Brother Zhuang be said to have lowered my status?
Besides, I heard that His Majesty has conferred the title of County Baron on Brother Zhuang. With such a noble title, is it any wonder that Brother Zhuang is still being modest?"
Hearing Cheng Zhimo say this, Zhuang Zhou had no choice but to say:
"Hey! It was mainly because I had a misunderstanding with Zhao Qing earlier, and it even led to a trip to the county government office.
Mr. Cheng, you may not know that Zhao Qing's father is a Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Works, and I heard that he also has an uncle who is a high-ranking official in the court.
I have already offended Zhao Qing, and I don’t want to implicate you!
But now I, Zhuang Zhou, am extremely honored to meet you!"
Zhuang Zhou spoke lightly.
He also deliberately told about his feud with Zhao Qing.
But the more I say this.
The more Cheng Zhimo listened, the more he took it to heart.
"Cheng Qian, have you heard of this person called Zhao Qing?"
As far as Cheng Zhimo knew, there was absolutely no playboy named Zhao Qing among the ones he knew in Kyoto.
But if Cheng Zhimo didn't know him, it was impossible for Li Chengqian to know him.
He shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of anyone named Zhao Qing either, but I do know Zhao Dewang. He seems to be close to Duke Lu."
Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Cheng Zhimo also smacked his lips:
"So, it seems that Zhao Qing's uncle is the Duke of Lu?"
Li Chengqian hummed and said:
"That's a possibility."
Zhuang Zhou, who was standing by, was a little confused.
"Who is the Duke of Lu you are talking about?"
Cheng Zhimo said, "This Duke of Lu is none other than Hou Junji, the Right Guard General."
Oh my god!
Hou Junji!
Zhuang Zhou was startled when he heard this.
This is really a big shot!
No wonder Zhao Qing is so arrogant.
The key point was that he was taken to the county jail and then released.
As expected, Journey to the West tells us that all the monsters with backing were taken away by the gods.
Even Sun Wukong didn't dare to beat them to death.
Seeing Zhuang Zhou silent, Cheng Zhimo thought he was worried about Zhao Qing.
He straightened his face and immediately said:
"Brother Zhuang, don't worry. We are brothers from now on. If Zhao Qing dares to bully you, he is bullying me, Cheng Zhimo. I will never forgive him."
Cheng Zhimo certainly has the confidence to say this.
His father is Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin!
In addition to the relationship between Cheng Zhimo and Li Chengqian, there are few playboys in the entire Chang'an City who dare to go against Cheng Zhimo.
"Forget it!"
Zhuang Zhou tried to persuade her:
"As long as they don't bother me, I don't bother to bother them. I just want to do some business peacefully and live my life well."
"Brother Zhuang is indeed extraordinary. I am even more convinced that you are my brother. From now on, you are my big brother. Come, Brother Zhuang, let me borrow your wine and toast you again."
Cheng Zhimo picked up the wine glass, but there was no wine in the glass at this time.
"Hey, Brother Zhuang, do you have any more wine? Open another bottle so I can toast you a glass too."
Why did Zhuang Zhou suddenly feel that this kid's tricks were a bit complicated?
It's obvious that he still wants to drink!
Damn it!
This is a bottle of red wine that costs more than two thousand yuan!
Is this the sworn brother?
Is this how you trick your sworn brother?
After hearing what Cheng Zhimo said, Li Chengqian immediately said:
"Okay! I'll be your witness, Mr. Zhuang. Please open another bottle of wine!"
Zhuang Zhou: “…”
Gritted his teeth.
These two guys are the same!
have no choice!
Zhuang Zhou took out another bottle of red wine, opened it and filled a glass.
Cheng Zhimo picked up the wine glass and said loudly:
"Heaven above, earth below, today I, Cheng Zhimo..."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Zhou, waiting for him to say his name.
