Chapter 38: Saving the woman Zhou Zeng Yong taught tea and snow geese to show in person
Seeing that there were so many people around, a few of them involuntarily came over. I saw a Tibetan woman, with a ponytail, who looked to be in her forties, wearing gray coarse cloth clothes; Although the unkempt and unkempt are unkempt, the jewelry outfit is still upright. I saw that the string of stars and moon Bodhi hanging from her neck had been shiny with the oil of her coil. Beside her knelt was a teenage boy, also unkempt and sloppy.
Next to the two of them stood a Han man in his mid-forties and forties. Although there is no silk and satin, the coarse cloth clothes of navy blue also look neat, which is in stark contrast to the two of them. But seeing that the man kept shouting here, to the effect that he wanted to sell the woman and the child. Hearing this, and thinking about it again, I instantly felt that it looked like a sharp-beaked monkey gills, which made people involuntarily increase a little disgust!
Through his words, he learned that this woman fled from Tibet four years ago, because he saved her life, and she supported her for four years, but because her family is in the middle of this year, she is short of money, and she really can't afford to feed them, so instead of making them hungry, it is better to find a good family, which can also relieve some pressure.
Look at this Tibetan woman again, she kept fiddling with the Xingyue Bodhi in her hand, looked at this man from time to time, and threw a lot of smiles at him. The little boy kept his head down and was silent. Xue Yan looked at all this, and suddenly wondered: in the face of such a dilemma, how could this woman still laugh? So, he asked her, "Is it really what he said?" ”
The woman looked the snow goose up and down, and didn't understand what she meant, but she looked very amiable, so she nodded and smiled. At this time, the Han man seemed to feel something when he heard Xue Yan ask, and then stopped Xue Yan and said: "If you don't buy it, you can buy it for five taels of silver, don't ask so much if you don't buy it."
Wang Xuance, who watched this scene, was also stunned, feeling that things should not be so simple. But seeing that he asked the woman again in the not very skillful Tubo language: "Are you really willing to be sold yourself?" ”
This Tibetan woman, when she heard Wang Xuance's words, her face changed instantly, and she looked at him in surprise with strange eyes: "What did you say?" He just said that he wanted to find us a good family, and he didn't say that he would sell it." As soon as Wang Xuance heard this, he immediately understood.
And this Han man found that Wang Xuance could also speak Tubo and felt that something was wrong. For now, the plan is to blow them away as soon as possible and be less nosy. With a glance, a few thugs walked out from behind the crowd, reaching out to push him to the periphery.
Seeing this, Wang Xuance also gave Zhou Zeng a look. Zhou Zeng smiled knowingly, protected him, and then made a move of great strength, and the horse step was so stabbed that no matter how much these little gangsters pushed it, they couldn't move at all. As soon as they saw that they had encountered a hard stubble, they immediately punched and kicked each other. Seeing that they moved their hands, Xue Yan and Xiaocui immediately pulled the Tubo woman and child and walked aside. Chen Maocai watched this scene and pinched the Han man with his hand. In an instant, Zhou Chen and the others knocked these people to the ground, screaming one by one, and begging for mercy again and again.
This scene was also seen by the three people who were watching the excitement around, they were none other than Songtsen Gampo and his cousin Mubhara Prince Shah, plus the Prime Minister Lu Dongzan! Speaking of this Songtsen Gampo, because domestic affairs are becoming more and more stable, I want to come to this border to see the specific situation. It happened that his cousin Shah was also there, so the three of them traveled to this border area as ordinary Tibetans. Because this Yazhou is the gateway to Tibet and Bashu, this first stop was naturally chosen here. Although the moment they first entered the city, they felt that Wang Xuance and the five people did not look like border people, coupled with their speech and demeanor, they felt very unusual, so they followed. And Wang Xuance had already discovered these three unusual Tubo people, who just muttered a few words in Chen Maocai's ear, but didn't point them out to everyone!
And about this matter, Songtsen Gampo and they already knew that this Tubo woman must have been deceived, but because Xue Yan was the first to ask, they wanted to see the situation. When they saw Snow Goose and Xiaocui pulling up the mother and son, they had already rushed in front of them to vigilantly protect them.
After a while, I saw a group of soldiers running quickly, watching these men being beaten like this. Looking at Zhou Zeng, a big man, he has a hideous face, and he doesn't care about it, he wants to arrest Zhou Chen and the others when he comes up.
Wang Xuance suddenly roared angrily: "Stop, I'll see who dares." This team of soldiers was immediately stopped by his sharp questioning.
However, I saw one of the leaders look back at him, and said contemptuously: "Ah, in broad daylight, there is trouble on the street, and there is a reason" and then shouted sharply: "Tie me up" This group of soldiers, under his order, immediately prepared to move.
But looking at this snow goose, seeing that they are so indistinguishable from good and evil, they are also quite angry. So he also yelled: "Stop". Then he walked out from behind the three of Songtsen Gampo, took out a golden fish talisman, shook it in front of this team of soldiers, and said sharply: "Do you see this clearly? ”
This team of soldiers, when they saw this golden fish talisman, immediately frightened their legs and knelt down for Snow Goose. But seeing that the leading soldier who was quite angry just now, with a trembling voice, he said incoherently to Snow Goose: "Small, small, I don't know if it's the county, the county lord is here, it's all a small fool, sin, sin deserves death, Wanwang county lord redeems, atonement for sin."
The onlookers, hearing that the county lord had arrived, also hurriedly bowed down and bowed down and made a big salute. The three of them didn't expect these people to be so promising, and they also looked at them with surprised eyes.
After Xue Yan told everyone that she was free from courtesy, she casually helped up the Tubo woman and child, and with the assistance of Wang Xuance, she immediately asked the reason for the matter.
It turned out that the Tubo mother and son, because of the disaster at home a few days ago, thought about coming to Yazhou to join their relatives, but they never thought that their relatives were no longer here. When all the expenses were exhausted, he was saved by this Han man. They also explained the reason to him, but because they couldn't find relatives, they thought of finding a good family to help take care of the housework and live in a temporary sojourn, but because of the language barrier, it was self-defeating.
After hearing these words, everyone immediately understood that this was another naked liar's act.
Snow Goose turned around and glanced contemptuously at the little thugs lying on the ground, their heads bowed and moaning in pain. Then he arrogantly said to these soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads: "Have you ever understood the question just now?" ”
I only listened to the trembling reply of the leading soldier: "The little one listened to it really, it was the little one who wronged the county lord, and the crime deserved ten thousand deaths."
"In this case, arrest all these people for me, what to do, you already know it, don't affect the good mood of the county lord, get out"!
These little gangsters suddenly felt that they had really fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, but they didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of the county lord. In this way, he was taken away by this team of soldiers.
And Xue Yan then asked Xiaocui to take out ten taels of silver and let their mother and son take it well. The mother and son couldn't get rid of it, so they accepted it, and thanked them again and again when they left.
All this was seen by Songtsen Gampo and them, and when the snow goose had dealt with all this, he was ready to come and thank him. But Chen Maocai snatched him with an arrow. In a dignified tone, he asked, "Is there anything going on?" ”
This Chen Maocai has always been very clever, and when they entered this Yazhou City, they were mentioned by Wang Xuance. He always paid attention to the three of them, and when he saw this young Tibetan man walking in front of the snow goose, he immediately stopped him. On the one hand, he was worried that Snow Goose would be hurt after revealing his identity, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what this man wanted to ask.
This Songtsen Gampo, look at such a situation; So in a kind tone, he said to him in a not very proficient Chinese: "Little brother, don't get me wrong, I just want to express my gratitude."
At this time, Wang Xuance looked at the three of them, and they didn't look like treacherous people, so he also signaled Chen Maocai to relax a little. I saw Songtsen Gampo said with a smile: "Thank you all for your love for my Tibetan people, and I am deeply grateful here!" As he spoke, he bowed to a long one.
Xue Yan also returned the salute casually: "It's nothing, Taoism has clouds and all living beings are equal, not to mention that this Han person deceived first, and he should be punished for punishing evil and promoting good."
Looking at the smiling snow goose, it was only then that Songtsen Gampo looked her up and down completely. I saw her smiling cheeks, her eyes cut water, her graceful posture, wearing a long skirt, looking beautiful and charming. I couldn't help but fall into fascination, staring at the snow goose with endless admiration.
At this moment, Chen Maocai looked at this Tibetan man's demeanor. Immediately, "alas, alas, alas" shook his hand in front of his eyes, seeing that he did not react in the slightest, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
Lu Dongzan also observed this subtle move, and immediately pulled his clothes with shame. Songtsen Gampo, who came back to his senses, also felt his faux pas, so he hurriedly said: "I never thought that the girl was so beautiful, but she was the same as in her dream, and suddenly she was in a daze." This said, the snow goose covered her mouth and smiled happily, which suddenly made the atmosphere much easier.
Xue Yan also looked at this Tibetan man: he looked very well-dressed. Although he is only in his early twenties, his swarthy face reveals some severity of water chestnut angles; dark and deep eyes, glowing with a charming color; Thick eyebrows and a tall nose all show off his nobility and elegance. casually asked him, "Have you ever dreamed of me?" ”
"Yes, in my dreams in the past few years, I have been dreaming of a Tang Dynasty woman, just like the current girl!"
Hearing him speak like this, although Snow Goose was shy, she couldn't help but feel a little more good about him!
Lu Dongzan, who has always been astute, has already seen through all this, and then said: "Since we are all so fateful, and everyone is tired, why don't you find a tea shop to sit down and rest for a while?" ”
At this time, tea culture had not yet been introduced to Tibet, but because Lu Dongzan knew the customs of Tang people drinking tea, and often traveled back and forth between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, he gradually fell in love with it. Although this Songtsen Gampo and Prince Shah did not know much about tea, they also agreed when they heard Lu Dongzan say this.
Wang Xuance had already felt that these three Tubo people were unusual, and coupled with the purpose of this trip, he immediately nodded and agreed.
As their eyes pointed, they came to this place, Bashu Tea House. Because it is located in an important border town, this large-leaf green tea from Yunnan needs to pass through this Yazhou if it wants to go north. The owner of this Bashu tea house came here from Yunnan a few years ago, because of the failure of the tea sales business, he decided to open such a tea house, with the increase in the number of guest officials from the south to the north, the business has gradually stabilized. Seeing that the boss is also a sincere person, Lu Dongzan often drinks tea here, so they are also familiar with each other.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the boss cheerfully greet me. After these few words of greetings, I chose a good private room for Lu Dongzan and others. The environment of this tea house looks very elegant, and every bit of it is the source of Chinese tea culture. Because of the longing for the wind of drinking tea, this Lu Dongzan is even more respectful of the Tang tea culture. So he skillfully operated, grinded tea, sifted, boiled tea, and did it in one go. Wang Xuance, who watched this scene, was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect this Tubo person to have such a study of tea.
As Lu Dongzan was about to boil the tea, Wang Xuance asked: "This brother Tai seems to be very familiar with my Tang tea culture, I don't know what to call it?" ”
I saw that this Lu Dongzan carefully placed the boiled fragrant tea in front of everyone, and returned with a smile: "Little Kelu Dongzan is also, because he often travels back and forth between Tubo and Bashu, plus this tea can also make people look for a touch of inner peace in the depths of their irritable hearts, so they fell in love with this mouthful!" ”
Because they didn't know how to drink it, while Lu Dongzan was talking, Songtsen Gampo and Prince Shah had already drunk the hot tea that had been poured into the plain tea cup. What they didn't expect was that it was so hot, and they stuck out their tongues in the soup, and their expressions were very painful.
Immediately, everyone understood that the two of them must not understand tea. Xue Yan looked at their ugliness, smiled, and said: "Mr. just now made tea very correctly, drink tea slowly, only a small sip can taste the taste of tea"
As he spoke, he filled the two of them's teacups with boiled tea. With a slender little hand, gently pick up your own tea cup, put it on the tip of your nose, close your eyes and smell it lightly, and immediately feel refreshed, and then open this cherry mouth, gently smack it, and suddenly feel the tongue is full of relish, and the aftertaste is long!
After her demonstration, the Songtsen Gampo and Prince Shah also understood how to use tea, smell it first, and then eat it, and it felt that it was indeed infinitely delicious and had a long aftertaste. Since then, I have fallen in love with the tea culture of the Tang Dynasty, and this tea has gradually spread in Tubo and Niboro......
