Chapter 108: The so-called reward for sharing the table
Xiang Gong is really not looking at it now, what is the effect of this dress, he is a door, it is similar to the existence of sun-protective clothing, is it just a see-through suit, I have seen a lot in later generations, what is there to see.
However, his normal reaction made Akina a little embarrassed and angry, as the focus of everyone, how could anyone not look at himself and not appreciate himself?
can let her pay attention to and praise others, Akina really hasn't done it, and she can't do it, Silver Tooth bit secretly for a long time, Akina still walked in front of Xiang Gong with her tsundere's little chin up.
Xiang Gong was stunned for a moment, looked sideways, held his chin and nodded, revealing a bit of appreciation, but unfortunately the obscene clothes were really a bit of a hindrance, if it was a set of modern underwear inside, the effect would be lifted immediately.
"Well, this dress is good, well, Princess Ben will reward you...... Eh, reward Zhu Fengchun......" Seeing Xiang Gong leaking her long-awaited gaze, Aqina's heart was like a flower, and she habitually wanted to be rewarded for her meritorious deeds.
But the Turks were already short of supplies, and this time they suffered another famine and caught up with a winter snow disaster, and Akina was actually trapped in Uszang, and she didn't have any so-called rewards in her hands.
That's embarrassing......
After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear what Akina wanted to reward and who he would give it to, Xiang Gong vaguely felt that something was wrong, and looked at Zhu Fengchun, who was bowing and waiting for Akina to speak, Xiang Gong coughed dryly.
Zhu Fengchun's mind was really bright, and he immediately said: "Ah, princess, this is what we should do, no need to reward!" ”
Listening to Zhu Fengchun's words, Akina frowned and said, "Reward Nowruz Festival and sit with this princess!" ”
After saying that, Akina turned around and left, but Xiang Gong hadn't reacted yet, and he really didn't understand how being at the same table with her was a reward.
But listening to a noisy buzzing sound, he turned his head to look at Zhu Fengchun's shocked face, and muttered dumbfounded: "Won't it?" How can it be? ”
"Hey, silly?" Xiang Gong stabbed Zhu Fengchun.
"Huh? Yes! Zhu Fengchun finally came back to his senses, and Xiang Gong's eyes were also full of complicated meanings.
This time, for convenience, Zhu Fengchun also brought a camp tent, and now that the task of delivering clothes has been completed, he naturally turned back to the camp with Xiang Gong.
Tomorrow, March 21, is the first day of the Nowruz Festival, Xuanzang naturally wanted to stay after receiving the invitation, Xiang Gong accepted Xuanzang's invitation and wanted to see the excitement, so the Journey to the West five-person group simply followed.
It's just that everyone has their own division of labor, Xiang Gong must follow Zhu Fengchun to deliver clothes, and everyone else stays in the temporary camp to set up tents and make all trivial preparations.
Gao Laozhuang is one of the important logistical preparations for the Nowruz Festival, naturally there have been invitations from the Turkic nobles of the Nowruz Festival for a long time, and the whole family said that Zhu Fengchun is inseparable from Gao Cuilan, and Gao Cuilan is inseparable from his father and mother, and no one is missing.
When he returned to the temporary camp, everything had been taken care of in an orderly manner, Xiang Gong complained while sitting down: "It's really a narrow road, I thought all the way, and finally understood, she must have hated me for robbing her of what she fancied, so she didn't give a reward, it's really stingy, alas, I don't care, I just hurt Xiao Zhu, I'm really ashamed!" ”
"What's going on?" The little white dragon asked.
Xiang Gong told him about the skirmish between him and Aqina in the Wusi Zang Bazaar, and everyone knew the twists and turns, this matter was only experienced by Xiao Bailong himself, thinking about it, it was really a creation and making people, and couldn't help but say: "Otherwise, let's go quickly, she is so stingy, I'm afraid there will be trouble." ”
Xiang Gong was stunned, it was rare for Xiao Bailong to say so much in front of so many people, but when did Xiao Bailong become a person who was afraid of trouble?
"Let's go? Are you stupid? How can this Princess Akina reward such a valuable gift make sense? Zhu Fengchun exclaimed.
"What did you get?" Everyone spoke in unison.
Xiang Gong is in a circle, where is it precious? Is it precious to sit at the same table with her? Thread!
"Seat with Princess Akina!" Zhu Fengchun said.
"What?"
"Oh my God!"
"Impossible, right?"
The little white dragon and the Gao family, each of them widened their eyes and looked incredulous, which made Xiang Gong wonder, are these people under Turkic rule for a long time and can't stand up?
In fact, Xiang Gong really doesn't understand the reason, Wukong is well-informed, Xuanzang has long studied these countries, and Xiaobailong and the Gao family have lived in the Western Regions for a long time, so they naturally understand the importance of this reward.
The Turks have also entered a patriarchal society, but after all, they inherited the Xiongnu, so many customs also followed the old Xiongnu system.
Among them is the semi-female custom of the Xiongnu, the reason why it is said to be semi-female is because although the Turkic nobles are also men like the Xiongnu, women in their tribe still enjoy a high status in the tribe.
Therefore, it can be said that the identity of Princess Akina is more noble than that of the Turkic prince.
Of course, this was also limited to the Turkic nobility.
And this residual custom, which is applicable to Nowruz, is clearly reflected in the sacrifice of Nowruz, which is presided over by the most noble and highest-ranking woman in the clan.
In the steppe of the Turkic homeland, the presiding officer of the Nowruz Festival is the old lady of Jieli Khan, and now in the Tibetan country of Usi, the presiding officer of the sacrifice is Aqina.
After a long period of domination and assimilation, Turkic vassal states such as the Usi Tibetan State were proud to share the table with the presiding priest.
This year in Uszang, because Aqina was there, the queen mother of King Uszang stepped down from the position of presiding over the sacrifice and was replaced by Akina.
Many Uzzang nobles, tycoons, talents, warriors...... And many other people, in order to be able to get a little blessing from the ancestors and the sun god, all hope to sit at the same table with the host of the Nowruz festival sacrifice event, in order to have the most prosperous luck in the new year, after all, the host of the sacrifice is the closest person to the god and the heroic soul of the ancestors.
Therefore, in order to be able to sit at the same table with Akina, the Usz Tibetan Kingdom has already made a fuss.
"The talented Zhenanzi and the warrior Hamanye they talked about just now are the people who are the most enthusiastic about the opportunity to compete for this same table, of course, not to mention the nobles and wealthy businessmen including our king Uszang, and even people from many countries, in order to be able to sit at the same table with Akina, have rushed to Uszang to participate in this Nowruz Festival!"
Zhu Fengchun carefully introduced the causes, causes and consequences.
Xiang Gong was stunned when he heard this, "Even if this is the case, it won't make everyone feel like pie in the sky, right?" Xiang Gong disagreed.
"You know what, if it's really that simple, I'm not unfamiliar with this broken reward." Zhu Fengchun covered his face and said, and secretly looked at Gao Cuilan's little face that had turned white because of anger between his fingers.
"What good else could that be?" Xiang Gong asked, but Zhu Fengchun was silent.
"Hmph, men are all stinky virtues, Zhu Fengchun, you'd better think about it!" Gao Cuilan said angrily.
Xiang Gong wondered, what kind of stinky virtue does this have to do with men?
"Alas, Brother Xiang, this matter is a long story, it has to start with the traditional customs of Nowruz Festival......" Zhu Fengchun said with a sad face.
