"What is she doing here?" Mr. and Mrs. Zhen Guogong were also very surprised.

Si Hongrui looked at Xia Qingyun and asked, "If you don't want to see her, let your mother come forward and send her away." ”

"Since you're here, please come in." Xia Qingyun said with a smile, "If you are a guest from afar, how can you coax people to leave." He ordered his men to lead her to his study.

Toya came alone, without any retinue, and I don't know how she found the palace alone.

Seeing Xia Qingyun, she happily gave her a big hug, and the thick aroma on her body made Xia Qingyun cover her nose.

"Lord Taiping, I didn't expect me to come to you, did you?" Toya was out of sight, and sat down in her chair generously.

Xia Qingyun smiled, knowing that she was a grassland woman with a bold personality, and she didn't mind, so she asked with a smile: "I didn't expect it." What's the matter with running over at night? ”

As she spoke, she instructed Qingju to bring a tea set and boil some milk to bring it in.

Tuoya hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I don't like to drink your tea, it's bitter and astringent, and it doesn't taste good at all." Just pour me some milk. ”

Xia Qingyun smiled lightly, poured the milk into the brewed black tea, took two more bowls, picked some sugar in one bowl, and put some salt in the other, poured the milk tea into the bowls respectively, and pushed it in front of Tuoya.

"The county lord tastes it, this is milk tea, one bowl is sweet, the other bowl is salty, I don't know which flavor you like."

Toya took a sip of each of the bowls, pointed to the salted ones and said, "This bowl is delicious!" As he spoke, he took another sip and took a few sips.

Xia Qingyun smiled slightly. As she expected, the prairie people like to sprinkle salt on roasted beef and mutton, and sugar is a very scarce seasoning, and Toya is not used to sweetness.

Xia Qingyun added some more for her, "Milk tea is not only delicious, but also greasy, grassland people like to eat meat, drinking more milk tea helps digestion." ”

Toya asked, "Where is it sold in the capital, I asked my father Khan to buy more and go back." ”

Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "It's from my tea garden." When the overland trade routes are opened, I will transport some to the grasslands. ”

"That's a good idea." Toya tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then he asked, "Is this thing expensive?" It's too expensive, and the herders on the steppe can't afford it! ”

Xia Qingyun smiled. I didn't expect her to know that she was thinking about her people. There are many kinds of black tea, and what she asked Toya to drink is, of course, the best Zhengshan small species. But there are also very cheap ones, and the price is about the same as regular jasmine tea.

"It's not expensive, you can buy enough for half a year for one or two pieces of silver."

"Hmm. The price is fair! Toya nodded. Suddenly I remembered my intention. Put down the bowl and asked, "Lord Taiping, I came to ask how you tamed the lion and tiger?" ”

She craned her neck again, "Where's your pretty little maid?" And how did she get Batu's python to be obedient? ”

Xia Qingyun smiled lightly. Guessing that Toya must have to ask this, she prevaricated: "There is no special method." I was born with a close relationship with animals. ”

Toya pouted, "I don't believe it!" How can there be such a person in the world! You must have some secret method of taming beasts, you just don't want to sue me! “

Xia Qingyun couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart, you guessed correctly! But I really can't sue you!

The county lord laughed, I was really born like this. You have been raising the lion and tiger for a long time, and you have some human nature. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to try it lightly. ”

Toya pondered, "That's right. They have been with me since they were young, and I raised them with goat's milk. ”

She was still unwilling, and asked again: "Then your maid won't be born too, I don't believe it!" ”

Xia Qingyun stroked his forehead and smiled; "In her early years, she learned some skills from a snake dancer in Lingnan, but this is her secret that I have never taught her."

Toya was a little disappointed, she thought that she could learn some secret methods of taming beasts from Xia Qingyun, but after she said this, it was not good to ask any further.

Xia Qingyun was a little funny, "You came all the way here to ask me this?" ”

"Yes!" Toya blinked her big eyes, "My father Khan and Batu are discussing things behind closed doors, except for houses in the capital of your Qi country, it's so boring to hold back for a day!" ”

Xia Qingyun asked, "I heard that there is another military advisor who came with you, why didn't you participate in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival yesterday?" ”

"Strategist?" Toya was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Why didn't you go, you still talked to him!"

"You mean"

Toya nodded, "Batu is the military advisor of Father Khan!" ”

Xia Qingyun was a little surprised, and asked again: "Lord Toya, I don't think you and Batu look like they are from the grassland, could it be that your mother is from Fanbang?" ”

Toya touched her face, very proud of her appearance, "My mother is a Persian, and I met my father Khan when he went to study in Persia when he was young. In addition to me and Batu, there is a younger sister named Una. She was young, so she didn't come with us. ”

Tuoya's personality is very cheerful, and after chatting with Xia Qingyun for a while, she asked a little mysteriously: "Taiping County Lord, I heard Batu say that the Zhenyuan General of Qi is your brother?" ”

I don't know why she mentioned Si Hong Bowen, Xia Qingyun nodded, "It's my brother-in-law." ”

A rare look of shyness flashed on Toya's face, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Is he married?" ”

Xia Qingyun's expression was a little helpless, it seemed that this girl was looking at her boss Hong Bowen.

"Well, it's time to get engaged."

Toya's eyes lit up, she stood up and spun around in a circle, clapping her hands and saying, "That means he hasn't married yet!" Well, I'm going back to ask my father Khan to let him talk to your emperor and let me marry General Zhenyuan!" ”

Xia Qingyun is really worried now, after all, he and Si Hong Bowen are not engaged yet. She can't just sue Sù Toya, General Zhenyuan's fiancée is sitting in front of you, you better go back!

"This," she said hesitantly, "Lord Toya, men and women in the world must be happy with each other in order to become husband and wife. Have you ever asked me what my brother-in-law means? ”

Toya tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Although I haven't met your brother-in-law, I've always heard my father Khan mention him. We steppe people admire heroes the most, and now that we have reconciled with your Qi country, my father Khan and the emperor will definitely agree! ”

Xia Qingyun smiled helplessly: "County Lord, I'm asking, do you know my brother-in-law's mind?" ”

Toya's clothes fluttered, and she turned around again, and replied confidently: "With my appearance, your brother-in-law will definitely like it!" ”

Approaching Xia Qingyun, Tuoya's expression was three points proud, seven points proud, "In our grassland, there are many tribal khans who have come to ask my father Khan for marriage, but I haven't taken a fancy to any of them!" They are all brave and unscrupulous! ”

She continued with infinite fascination: "What I like is that like your brother-in-law, he can lead troops to fight, and he is full of wealth, and he is handsome and chic!" ”

Tuoya grabbed Xia Qingyun's sleeves, her eyes were shining, and her long eyelashes flickered like a small fan: "That's it, I'm here anyway, you can take me to see your brother-in-law, I'll personally ask him if he likes me!" (To be continued......)
