The excuse of buying a horse can make the prince of Tiele make a surface of hospitality, and naturally it can also confuse the wife of a merchant like Ou Zhu. After saying a few polite words www.biquge.info the translation given by Prince Tiele, Ou Zhu was really happy to lead Yuan Qixi to the stable. Seeing that the Han people were very interested in Tiele's things, Ou Zhu not only let Yuan Qixi visit the stable, but also led him to the sheepfold with great enthusiasm.

"Tieler's wool is the best way to keep out the cold." Ou Zhu, who only knew about commerce and didn't know about other things, said proudly: "I heard that Tiele's wool will become beautiful robes in the hands of skilled craftsmen of the Han nationality?" ”

"You're right—the master below needs the wool of Tieler." After glancing at Jian Zhongxi, who was dressed as a sheepherd, Yuan Qixi turned his head sideways and said to the servant who followed behind him, "Take a cotton robe we brought and give it to Madame." ”

In the past two months, Yuan Qixi has not known how many fabrics that only Han people have sent away. Whenever Han Chinese were found in the homes of Tiele merchants, fabrics produced by the Han people always made Yuan Qixi and the Han people talk, and this time was no exception.

"He's Han Chinese and speaks Chinese." Taking over the brocade cotton robe, Ou Zhu was overjoyed. She took the initiative to convene Jian Zhongxi, "This Han merchant can't speak, you can tell him about our things." ”

"If there are Han people who can speak, how can they trouble the translator of the prince?" With a look at Jian Zhongxi, Yuan Qixi respectfully bowed to Tieler's translation: "Why don't you go to the tent for a few drinks first?" ”

The translator who only understands Chinese has received a lot of rewards, so how can he mind Yuan Qixi, who is a merchant, talking to Hannu? I am happy to drink in my account. As soon as the translator left, Jian Zhongxi, who pulled the sheep to Yuan Qixi's side, lowered his voice and said, "Can you buy us?" ”

"One of the conditions that Prince Tiele allowed us to stay on was that we were not allowed to take care of the affairs of Hannu." Yuan Qixi sighed helplessly: "I'm just the shopkeeper under the big businessman, and my strength is really meager." Even if your master is willing to sell you, I may not be able to get what they want. ”

Tiele merchants show off Hannu like a rare beast, how can they sell it easily?

Jian Zhongxi nodded disappointedly, "Businessmen speak business." I forced you. ”

Jian Zhongxi's understanding made Yuan Qixi's positive color look at him.

"I can send you a message home." Knowing that the exchange would not take too long, Yuan Qixi hurriedly asked: "Have you ever seen a Han girl who is about eleven or twelve years old?" It's about this high. ”

Jian Zhongxi almost blurted out: "You want to find Liu Ting?" Thinking that Liu Ting had never mentioned her family, Jian Zhongxi's words became "You want to find such a girl?" I can keep an eye out for you. ”

Yuan Qixi laughed twice and gave a subtle answer: "There is a girl from the same township who was lost in Bianguan Town, so ask me to look for it by the way." ”

Until Yuan Qixi left, Jian Zhongxi was a little strange. Why does a businessman behave in a way that is a scholar? Ten days later, he met Liu Ting with his doubts still not dispelled, but the latter did not give him time to speak.

"Tashi had a wife after four days of riding on horseback." Liu Ting, who had slipped into the sheepfold at night, said excitedly: "No wonder Ouzhu heard that Tashi had a private collection, and he didn't suspect it at all." When Namel heard that she was going there, she was so interested that she didn't even bother to teach me a lesson. Unexpectedly, Tashi really set up a barn camp with his wife outside. We won the bet! ”

"I thought it was just a rumor that Tashi had a foreign family." Jian Zhongxi couldn't help but be happy, "He put a lot of things there?" ”

"I heard Glo complain to Ouzhu that the things he gave over there were beyond the agreement. It seems that Ozhu and Namel know about what happened over there, but we just don't know. Naturally, she patted the wool off her shoulders for Jian Zhongxi, and Liu Ting smiled: "Glo asked me how many silver taels were in the barn camp. I pretended to be in it for days, and gave him an inflated amount. You didn't see it, and he gritted his teeth in anger. ”

"How many taels of silver did you give to Glo?" Seeing Liu Ting proudly stretching out three fingers and shaking them, Jian Zhongxi shook his head: "It's only three hundred taels?" You say less! We have been hostile to foreign Yi all the year round, and the successive emperors have been 'not a piece of armor' against foreign Yi. The Yi people can sell horses to us, and they can buy our things if they want, but they can't bring them to the outside of the Saiwai. The emperor won't let us, and we won't be able to get out of the plug with a stitch or thread. If you can bring out Dawu, a tael of silver is at least five taels outside the plug. ”

"It turned out to be smuggling." Liu Ting couldn't help but be annoyed, "I should have thought that the smuggling business was extremely profitable. How stupid! ”

"Back then, if it wasn't for the fact that my family would not be able to support it, my father would take me to secretly come to the outside of the plug? If you end up like this, you can only blame yourself for being greedy......"

"Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger. If a businessman does not do the business with the greatest benefits, it is better to take the path of the imperial examination. Liu Ting comforted softly: "Smuggling is a huge risk at any time. It is normal to avoid officers and soldiers, to go to a foreign situation where they have no relatives and even speak the language, and to prevent goods from being stolen and robbed. Stop being sad about the past. Look at you. You are still alive, and your dead relatives can also smile Jiuquan. Moreover, you have been outside the Cypriots for so long, you know their language and you know Tieler. As long as they can return to Wudi, they will be able to solve the difficulties of their families by doing smuggling business with Tiele in the future, and the deceased relatives will no longer have to worry. Even I can see that your future is bright. ”

Jian Zhongxi showed a bitter smile: "Can you really go back?" ”

"Absolutely! That's what I came to you to discuss. Liu Ting lowered her voice and asked, "Tashi has two sons and a daughter in the foreign family, and the things given over there are not considered family property, so Ouzhu and Namel must be resentful." Do you think it's possible that Ozhu and Namel will join forces to deal with Tashi because he has gone too far? ”

"Even the women of the Tiele people contribute to the family, and the property of the whole family is not like the Han people, all of whom are decided by the head of the family, but those who contribute have a share. It's really possible that Ozhu and Nammel are facing up to Tashi over the family property! Jian Zhongxi praised, "This kind of thing is really only thought of by you women." ”

Liu Ting not only didn't get complacent, but said with some guilt: "I'm not particularly good at this kind of curved road in the house. ”

"Then practice at Tashi's house. lest if you marry someone in the future, you will have to be restrained by a concubine or a subordinate who has a face. Jian Zhongxi didn't feel ashamed at all, but excitedly longed: "Just dreaming that Tashi will be killed by Ouzhu and Namel can make me happy for a while." ”

"Tashi is the husband of Ozhu and Namel after all." Liu Ting said sullenly: "If they have a grudge against Tashi, they won't kill him, right?" ”
