Chapter 566: Just You Can Count
Hada City is not as thick as the Kaiyuan City Wall, but Mingkou is more lively than Kaiyuan Mai, and has not yet entered the city, and has seen the travels in and out from afar, and some people are still driving a large area of cattle and sheep, which is very lively.
Seeing a large army coming, those merchants of all ethnic groups were a little frightened, but fortunately they saw clearly that it was the banner of the Ming army, and they did not flee in the wilderness, but they also drove the cattle and sheep to the side of the road early and made way for them.
Seeing this scene, Xia Xun was also worried about the commotion that might be caused by the sudden appearance of such a large army outside Hada City, so he proposed to the young envoy, Xiao Bingbei and others to lead only dozens of cavalry guards into the city alone. Seeing that Hada City was already in sight, and nothing would happen in such a short distance, a few people also agreed, and the four of them rushed to Hada City with dozens of guards, while the army camped and waited by the roadside.
Hada City is a very simple earthen city, it is estimated that the main purpose of the establishment of this earthen city is to facilitate the herdsmen of all ethnic groups to enter the trade, so it is not majestic, just to the city, there are dozens of horsemen galloping towards the front, the bearded men on the horse are all strong, the saber under the ribs, the bow on the shoulder, Xia Xun's guards immediately like the enemy, ready for battle.
When those people galloped in front of them and saw their appearances clearly, one of them was greatly surprised, and said in a lost voice: "You again?" Are you Han Chinese generals? ”
Xia Xun fixed his eyes and saw that among those Hu people, a pretty girl dressed in men's clothes was the female city manager he had seen a few days ago, and he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I see you again, girl, we are really fated."
The girl gave him a big white eye, and said angrily, "Bah, who has a fate with you?" ”
Ding Yu laughed angrily: "Whose girl are you?" The last time we neglected the department, we came out of the micro-service, and we didn't show our identity, so it's not strange that you don't know. This time, you have clearly seen the identity of the minister, and you dare to be so rude? ”
The slave said angrily: "Who are you scaring with such a big breath?" What kind of step hall horse hall, this girl has never heard of it! This is our city of Hada, not your origin, who told you to lead a large army of men and horses for no reason, so that the people in the city do not know the details, and they also want to fight."
Xiao Bingbei said slowly: "The ministry is the governor, and the governor is an official who is bigger than the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and he is in charge of all affairs in Liaodong, understand?" Little girl, call your family Bayi out and greet the minister! ”
The girl couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard Xiao Bingbei's words, she blinked a pair of big eyes, looked at Xia Xun seriously, and hesitated: "Governor? Are you Governor Yang? ”
Xia Xun smiled and said, "It's me!" ”
The girl looked him up and down a few more times, and without saying a word, she turned her horse and left, and the warriors who came out with her immediately turned their horses and left, Ding Yu shook his head and said, "These Hu women are so unruly. ”
Xia Xun listened to the honorific titles of Master Bayi and those rich men in Avanti, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is this Bayi named Bayi?" ”
Xiao Bingbei said: "The Lord of the Ministry has misunderstood, this Bayi is their honorific title for the powerful and rich people in the clan, the city lord of Hada City is called Gurma Ji, and translating the poem into our Chinese is the meaning of exempting the child." “
In fact, the Jurchens did not have a written language at that time, and they also used the Mongolian language, and the Mongolian script evolved from the Uighur language, so there are many original and untouched Uighur elements in the Jurchen text and the Mongols.
Xia Xun smiled and said, "Why are their names so weird? ”
Xiao Bingbei also smiled: "Their names are like this, the girls are better, most of them are named after things like flowers and plants, and the men's names are birds and beasts, and everything is used." Last time, the Jurchen who wanted to sell sheep to the ministry was called Yarha, which means leopard skin in Chinese. They also have some names, such as Nurhachi, which is the skin of the wild boar, Shulhaqi is the skin of the little wild boar, Dudu means the spotted finch, Kurtang means the gray crane, and Mafuta means the ...... of the staer.
Ding Dusi and the young envoy didn't understand these things, and after listening to Xiao Bingbei's explanation, he couldn't help but laugh, Xia Xun said in his heart: "No wonder some people later called Jurchen a wild boar skin, it turns out that the root is here, and the Chinese meaning of Nuerhachi's real name is like this?" ”
But he didn't laugh, it's just the habit of people's names, it's really nothing funny, the Han people have a cheap name since ancient times, and there are many names of cats and dogs, and the nickname of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is "彘" 彘 is a wild boar, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't just give this name, making fun of other people's names, which is really ungraceful.
Xiao Bingbei bought a Jurchen girl from Yarha as a concubine a few days ago, although this is not a big deal, but if the governor knows that he buys and sells human beings from smugglers, it is not a good thing after all, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Bingbei mentioned in passing: "Their women are also named after birds and beasts, but they are all small and clever animals." A few days ago, Xia Guan bought a woman from the Jurchen clan as a concubine, and this woman's name is Leng Geri, which means "Shuo Mouse"......
This time it was Xiao Bingbei's concubine, and Ding Dusi and the young envoy were embarrassed to laugh, but the expression on their faces was really painful.
Xia Xun smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, let's go into the city, go to the market, and then go to meet the old man Bayi."
At this time, the city of Hada already knew that there were no bandits, and the merchants resumed selling and started business.
It is not only cattle, sheep, mules and horses that are sold, but also precious skins, as well as all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Haidongqing, eagles, and soap carvings are all precious living creatures, as well as leopard skins, fox skins, horned (walrus tusks), good thorn skins (deer skins of various colors), leopard skins, and so on. As for the northern pearl, ginseng, deer mang, and even sun-dried fungus, mushrooms, wild chicks, and flying dragons, they are everywhere.
Many of these things are rare in the Central Plains, worth more than 100 gold, Xia Xun was bribed by the Mongolian tribe in Beiping to get two rare fire fox skins, and here, the best fire fox skins are also placed there at will, for people to choose.
When Xia Xun saw the fire fox skin, he suddenly remembered the scene when he and Ming'er met for the first time: "Wow! It's so beautiful, it's like a flame. “
The voice was as brittle as a yellow bird, wrapped in a grassy ten-year-old little luo, a crow with beautiful hair, a cute pair of girls, small ears like ingots, fair and moist skin, as if smooth ivory revealed a pink blood color, blowing through.
At that time, I thought to myself, this little Luo Di is definitely a beauty embryo, and when she grows up, she must be a big beauty at the disaster level. And now this disaster has coincidentally become his own lady.
Xia Xun felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, and suddenly remembered that at that time, she almost cried angrily for a fire fox skin, well! It's also a loss, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, otherwise how can there be so many feelings and grievances later?
Xia Xun stared at the fox fur that was as red as a flame, thinking of the beautiful wife in his heart, and his eyes became more and more gentle. Xiao Bingbei suddenly saw that Xia Xun was not leaving, turned his head to look, and saw that the master of the ministry was just staring at a beautiful fiery red fox fur stupidly, and he was busy smiling at Xia Xun and said: "The ministry has good eyesight!" This leather is indeed a first-class product! The lower official bought it and sent it to the ministry, which can be regarded as the lower official's little care! ”
After speaking, Xiao Bingbei turned over and dismounted, walked to the stall, pointed to the fiery red fox skin and said, "How much is this skin, I want it!" “
Shao Yunfeng was a step slower than him, so he secretly pursed his lips and muttered, "Sycophant"
Xia Xun jumped off the horse, stopped Xiao Bingbei, and said with a smile: "No, I have to buy this fox skin myself, I have to buy it myself, I have to be my own, it is my mind."
Xiao Bingbei originally refused, but when he heard this, he couldn't insist anymore, so he laughed, stepped aside and said, "Since this is the case, it's not good for the lower officials to fight anymore." ”
Xia Xun picked up the leather and looked at it, although the coat color is good, but it is not hunted in autumn, the luster feels worse, and the hunter's archery skills are also worse, it is a fire fox that was shot across the belly, although the scar is not big, it can be covered by the fox hair, after all, it is not perfect, I couldn't help but slightly frowned, and asked: "Your fire fox fur, is it good?" If you want to hunt in the golden autumn season of September, it is best to pass through the eyes, and the whole fox skin has no arrow wounds. ”
The Jurchen businessman saw that these people were dressed up, and they were hugging each other, obviously the big officials in the Ming army, so he looked very frightened, but when the business came to the door, he was reluctant to let this patron run away, and nodded and said busily: "Some of them, the best fox skin, how willing to pile it here, I am hiding a good fire fox skin at home, you want it, please wait for the piece to be fried, I will let the mother-in-law go to get it, and I will come back in a while!" ”
Xia Xun was slightly disappointed when he heard this: "Is there only one?" ”
When the merchant heard that this Han official wanted to buy more, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "In line with what you said, the villain only has one in his hand, but the villain is familiar with all the merchants who sell fox skins in this Hada City. “
Xia Xun thought about it, Xiao Di and Zhangqi both had it, and said: "I want four, all of them are high-quality goods!" “
Zuo Dan stood beside Xia Xun, and when he heard the four, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and said in his heart: "If the Duke of Guo only buys one, then needless to say, it must only be given to Mrs. Ming. If you only buy three, it makes sense, one for your wife, and one for Lord Qi and Lord Zhen; But how do you divide it when you buy four? Those two concubines, to whom and not to whom? Isn't the prince a nobleman who forgets a lot of things, and misses one, right? ”
The loyal Zuo Dan immediately reminded: "Guogong buys fox skins, it must be one for each of the three adults, but I don't know how ...... two adults are."
Xia Xun glanced at him and said, "Ziqi and Xiao Di, there are already them." “
Zuo Dan said again: "Ah, in this case, it should be three strips." ”
Xia Xun glanced at him again, and said viciously: "You will count"
Before Zuo Dan could react, he opened his slap and said, "Originally, Guogong, look at it, this" ......
As soon as he pulled off a finger, Xia Xun had already shouted: "If you don't speak, no one will sell you as a dumb person, go aside"
Zuo Dan stepped aside, touched his nose, and was still wondering: "Why is it four?" It should indeed be three of a kind......
Xia Xun ignored him, and turned his head to the merchant: "How is the price calculated?" ”
The merchant laughed and said, "Official, we are here, either in gold and silver, or in the goods, if we take the treasure money, we don't have any land to spend......"
Xia Xun was stunned when he heard this, before he could speak, a rough and heroic voice next to him said: "Lord Mintang wants a few skins, that is to look up to us, who the hell dares to ask for money?" Pu Weidu, you go door to door to find me, bring me all the good fox skins they press at the bottom of the box, and choose them by the ministers, who dares to hide their hearts, don't appear in Hada City from now on" P: Three more in case of one thousand, ask for ~~ tickets!
