1621 Chapter 1621
The foreigner who came to the capital from the westerly part of the West, on the contrary, was as tall as a clown, out of place, and was watched like a monkey along the way, and no matter what he did, he could see others smiling and watching, but fortunately, after he learned the language here, the situation was much better, and there were people who could communicate with him and listen to him tell the story of this journey to the east.
Walking through the deep city gate, really entering the bustling capital, foreigners only feel dizzying, looking everywhere is "wow", "oh" and "ah" amazement, even though this journey has seen a lot, but at this time it is still like a countryman who has never seen the world.
"You westerners, don't you have any of that. ”
He was accompanied by the caravan keeper who had come with him all the way, and the other party was also a self-proclaimed and elegant man, and it was rare to meet such an object of pride, and at the same time he was quite kind to communicate with him, and at the same time inquired about the other country.
Knowing that the journey to the west would have to cross the whole grassland, that is, that the journey would take at least two years, he had little interest in going there, mainly because he did not know what valuable things were there, and he felt that it was not worth visiting when he saw what kind of foreigner from this professed great country was.
"No, no, no, I haven't seen it, there's one on the prairie. ”
Foreigners don't want to be directly despised, and say more as the world they have seen.
The shopkeeper listened and smiled, there is a king on the grassland, oh, King Shun, the existence of this king with a different surname is still quite eye-catching, but it is precisely because of King Shun and Princess Changle that their caravans can pass through the grassland and make profits back and forth.
"That must be the kindness of our princess. ”
Princess Shun is not as good as Princess Changle, and people in Beijing call her Princess Changle, which represents a kind of meaning of her own people.
In fact, since the marriage of this person, the grassland has not been in turmoil for 50 years, and there has not even been the frequent knocking of the edge in winter, which is like a miracle.
The princesses in the past, if they can have such a good result, they will definitely be able to leave their names in history.
I just don't know how the other party did it, among the deeds that have been handed down, except for King Shun's love for Princess Changle, it seems that there is nothing, a car specially made for the convenience of play, the white wolf hair hanging on the car is hunted by King Shun himself, escorting Princess Changle through the grassland... It's probably just these little things.
And Princess Changle did not give birth to King Shun's son, which always makes people feel regretful, and makes people secretly poke and poke at King Shun's favor and be flashy.
always felt that Princess Changle had been wronged there, so their mother's family had to give face to them.
The shopkeeper incarnated as a princess to blow, and after that, he said a lot of the good of Princess Changle, what is gentle and virtuous, generous and polite, lively and lovely, no matter whether the contradiction is contradictory or not, as long as it is a good word, it will be on the princess of Changle, and in the end, she will be like a goddess, and even her appearance is the standard configuration of the country and the city.
He didn't notice that as he spoke, the fear in the foreigner's eyes deepened, and there was a deeper shock of "did you see her like this?"
After a short trip to Beijing, because the foreigners were shy in their pockets, they didn't buy any good things, and when they went back, the shopkeeper gave him a ride along the way, and then gave some gifts so that he wouldn't go back empty-handed for nothing.
Speaking of this foreigner, he is also pitiful, what kind of aristocratic son he ran out to play because of curiosity, was plundered, and accidentally wandered into the grassland, was treated as a horse slave by a certain tribe, escaped with his ingenuity, and then met the shopkeeper's caravan... Among the twists and turns, you can write a long story of tens of thousands of words.
"You are a good person, Yang, I have to tell you one thing, in the future, don't come to the grassland, these people are all under the devil, your princess, Princess Changle, is the devil from the east..."
The foreigner spoke solemnly and mysteriously, and after he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid of being targeted by some invisible and terrible being, and pressed his hand to his chest and made a gesture to show his faith, praying for refuge.
When the shopkeeper had been with him for a long time, he knew what this meant, and he was troubled, and prayed to the gods for comfort, but, as for what?
Also, Princess Changle, why did she become the devil of the East?
I also want to refute that the foreigner has already left quickly with the gift he sent, and the appearance is as if something is chasing him behind him, and he is embarrassed for no reason.
This brief intersection was only a small episode in the life of the shopkeeper, and he only left a few words in the future, mocking the foreigner's timidity like a joke, perhaps frightened by the might of their great power, but it was too much to regard the princess as a devil.
Soon after, a certain book that became popular made the shopkeeper pay attention to it again.
It was a celebrity book, some essays, which told the story of a sister who was easy to marry, a pair of twin sisters, engaged to get married, it was normal, but the sister of the twins, before the marriage, revealed something, felt that it would be retaliated by the third sister who had been married, so she deliberately got on the wrong sedan chair with her sister on the day of the wedding.
The people they married were both scholars, and the conditions were similar, and they didn't see each other much before marriage, and even the dowry was the same, and when they found out about it after the cave room, the younger sister in the twins couldn't regret it. She went to ask her sister why she did this, but her sister refused to say, and the two fell out completely.
This matter, even their husbands were hidden, after all, it is not good to say, and I don't know if it will increase the twists and turns, where did I think that in the future, the two will be in different circumstances, the one married by my sister is a little short-lived, got an official position in a foreign country, and died of illness not long after taking office, and had no children before his death.
The one my sister married was angry and hardworking, got the position of a high-ranking official, had both children, and was happy.
In the end, he made himself a widow, and his sister could see it, and she did not resent her sister, and she was neighbors with her mother-in-law, living on her own dowry, and then became a layman and believed in the Tao.
The celebrity's friend met her, and because of her open-mindedness and diligence, she heard about this old story, and was amazed, and informed the celebrity about it, which became this article.
Celebrities deliberately concealed the identity of this twin sister, but the third sister who was married high in one stroke, the third sister known as the "Lord of the Prairie", is not easy for everyone.
Many people like to dig out gossip information from celebrity articles, and they speculate that the third sister is Princess Changle, and what she did was exposed by her twin sister, making her afraid of revenge and easy to marry, and she has also become a mystery, and it takes a lot of doubt.
Someone contacted Chang'anhou about the old matter, saying that there was a difference between the death of Chang'anhou and the eldest lady, but there was no real evidence, and time had passed, and few would go to the bottom of it, so it was vague.
The shopkeeper had doubts in his heart because of the foreigner, and after seeing this article and hearing those speculations, he was even more curious, so he deliberately made a pot of wine and asked his business teammates, they were businessmen, and there were many sub-regions and sections, and the shopkeeper did not go beyond the grassland, at most it was bordering, and the business teammates would go further, and would go deep into the middle of the grassland, and then turn back.
"Why did you remember to inquire about the grassland?"
The friend smiled and poured wine, and when he heard the question, he didn't hide it, and said directly, "It used to be fine, it was normal, but now it's different, a tribe and a tribe are different, some are sleeping soundly on the day, some are dry, and some ... There is a tribe called No Anger, it is said that the princess herself gave the name, because of the people of the Guys, born without anger, if it is used as a servant, it is really the best, but unfortunately, the people of the grassland are not allowed to go out, otherwise..."
"I don't believe you didn't keep two of you around. The shopkeeper knew his friend's temperament, so he said excitedly.
Friends waved their hands again and again: "Can't stay, can't stay, they weren't like that before, why did you become like this, it's all because of the curse, and that curse was brought over by Princess Changle..."
The voice was lowered, this paragraph was said secretly, even if the matter was done by King Shun, but in the eyes of everyone, Princess Changle was the culprit, and this article was only publicized after Princess Changle died, and many of them had not paid attention to these before this.
People of different races have different temperaments, what is strange, but if it is because of the curse, this strange method can make people stay away.
"How can there be a curse!" "The shopkeeper doesn't believe it, Princess Changle's origin is not a secret, the daughter of the Marquis of Chang'an, she was named a princess, uh, the daughter of the Marquis of Chang'an...
Thinking of the ridiculous things that the twin sisters did because they were afraid, thinking of the strange way of death of Chang'an Hou, and then thinking of the devil's secret words of foreigners, the shopkeeper suddenly became frightened in his heart, could there really be... Curse?
"You haven't been there, you don't know, if you go, you'll know," said the friend, taking a sip of wine, and with some emotion between his words, "I don't dare touch the things they have there, except for living creatures like cattle and sheep, fur, and food and water supplies." ”
He had seen someone touch something with his own eyes, and then he was like the people in that tribe, that kind of change was really frightening enough, far away in the grassland, he was really afraid to bring those things back, that person was secretly killed later, buried on the grassland, and the others, taking it as a warning, did not dare to touch the things over there, originally the caravan was like a bandit, and they could rob it if they could fight, but now they can do it without committing it.
Like him, there are more westerly lands, where the grasslands are located like a buffer zone between the east and the west, and among the countries further west, the curse of the grasslands is more widely spread, and "the devil from the east" has become the most common name for Princess Changle.
No one thinks that "Changle" is the right concept, this legendary appearance is extremely beautiful and extremely evil, and the tyrant who does not care for human life is not as widespread as the horror she brings.
The foreigner who survived, after re-living his aristocratic life, also wrote this experience into a book, which was especially demonized by others, and was extremely demonized by Princess Changle, and even regarded the people of various tribes on the grassland as the devil's subordinates, so that later, when a certain grassland lord went west, all the places he passed were bowed and worshipped, as smooth as mowing grass.
As a result, the terrifying legend that had gradually faded into obscurity was once again in the dust, and it spread more widely.
