Chapter 41: Leading by Example
"But...... They are foreign ......" Old Man Rong is still struggling with the issue of bloodline.
"What's wrong with the foreign race, isn't it the same clan after giving birth, and it's not the mother's surname! In this way, I will take the lead first, I will marry one, and the rest will be used as a reward, and whoever has made meritorious service in the future will be rewarded to whomever it is, and if you don't want it, in front of me, kill the woman with your own hands, and I won't force him to get married! I don't believe it, the Yanmar can't be sent! Lao Tzu first chooses the one that is pleasing to the eye. "Hong Tao really has no confidence or patience to convince Old Man Rong on this issue, this difficulty is higher than defeating the Mongols. What he can do is to lead by example and show them that marrying a foreign woman is not a terrible thing, that there should be children and children, and that life should be lived.
"Martini! Come here, you can help me ask them if there is a princess in distress, and this prince will rescue her from the sea of suffering! Throwing down the old man Rong who was still spitting his teeth, Hong Tao ran to the outside of the courtyard where the Persian slave girls were held, and as soon as he showed his head, he was seen by a female slave, and then the girls who were dancing and playing in the yard all went into the house and disappeared. Hong Tao is very depressed, he treats them very well, why do you see yourself like seeing the plague god?
"Princess? My lord, some of them were indeed raised in the court, but I assure Allah that there is no princess ......" Medini has now become Cixi's deputy, and the two inhuman and characterless guys are quite compatible, one is responsible for managing male slaves, and the other is responsible for managing female slaves, and the division of labor is cooperative.
"Why am I so unlucky, why can other people come and meet the princess? Nor did the aristocracy? Hong Tao is very unwilling, it is said that the woman he saved must at least be a county lord, which is written in literary works and movies and television.
“…… Not really...... If adults want. I'll go back next time. I'll ask them to help you find it. There should be one......" Martini looked at Hong Tao's iron-blue face and began to sweat again. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that these female slaves were all captured in the war, and they were trained as dancers since they were children, and their backgrounds could not be too high. The woman of the aristocratic family was caught, and she was also ransomed with ransom, and if you have no money to ransom it, then you are still a noble fart.
"! Come in with me. I'm going to pick one to be my wife, and you can help me ask them if they're happy. Hong Tao was very unhappy, and went into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and Martini trotted all the way to the front, and pushed open a door, and there was a roar, and when Hong Tao reached the door, the women in the house were already standing in a row, but without their gorgeous attire, they really looked like prisoners.
Walked three rooms in a row. After looking at twenty female slaves, Hong Tao picked two Byzantine female slaves. They are actually white people from Eastern Europe. The Balkan Peninsula, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece in later generations are all places that produce beautiful women, at least not too ugly. The reason why the two of them were picked was because they could speak Latin, which meant that they were educated and able to communicate with themselves normally, and they were better off than women who spoke Persian. Why pick two? Because Hong Tao didn't want to be an example to others by himself, he wanted to pull Carl to suffer together. The master is worried, and the servant helps to share the worries, which is very reasonable!
"Nope! It's not reasonable, I have a wife, I'm a Catholic! "Carl clearly didn't intend to help his master.
"Can Catholics cut off people's little JJs? If you can't go home, you're nothing, and you're still rowing for the Arabs, and you're probably exhausted! So now you are the groom, a noble knight of the Holy Roman Empire, marrying a woman from the Byzantine Empire, hahahaha...... Shouldn't you be honored that this symbolizes a bright future for the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, which is likely to regain its former strength? Besides, you see, I will hold a wedding with you, and it will be done according to the customs of your side, and the tradition of our Han people is not allowed to marry a foreign woman. I can abandon my personal ideas, are you nobler than me? Anyone who is nobler than me is my enemy, you can choose for yourself, whether you want a crossbow arrow or a daughter-in-law! "Old man Rong Hong Tao is unconvinced, if even a Carl is not convinced, then he is too bad as a traverser. Whether it's coercion or temptation, anyway, it's just a sentence, you don't have a choice, you have to marry if you are happy, and you have to marry if you are not happy!
Can Carl resist? Apparently not, because he is not the protagonist of the book, and if he resists, then the book should be called Carl's Wanderings. Therefore, he must and can only follow Hong Tao to hold a simple wedding that is neither Western nor in line with the traditions of the Song people. The groom wore short-sleeved shorts, Sina wore a gauze wedding dress, and the old man Rong was the witness, neither the man's relatives nor friends, nor the mother's family, only Cixi led the slave band to howl a song that had been rehearsed for a few days.
Hong Tao has a second room named Pocheksenia, and Carl also has a new daughter-in-law named Salomia. Actually, these are people's surnames, but their names are too long for the people in the camp to remember. So Hong Tao made the decision, and Pochek Senia was later surnamed Sai, called Senya; Salomia's surname is Mia, and it is enough for the original name to be buried deep in their hearts, and it is very questionable whether they can return to their hometown on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria in this life.
Regarding Hong Tao's marriage to the second room, the people in the camp reacted very flatly, not that they thought that Hong Tao should marry the second room, but that they looked down on the daughter-in-law that Hong Tao married. Just a slave! can't attract any attention from everyone, even Bo Fu and Bo Zhu have no objections, as long as Bo Zhu is still Hong Tao's wife and eldest wife, it is not a matter of fuss in the literati class of the Great Song Dynasty, even in Guangzhou City, it is an open existence. In their eyes, Hong Tao is the literati class, who let him read and read and know everything.
Bo Zhu didn't say that it didn't mean that Hong Tao would be able to take this Senya home to live generously, he was still not used to separating women at home who was the master and who was second, simply, it was better to use the method of his previous life and live separately. Build a small house near Senya's house alone, and no one will interfere with anyone, and out of sight is pure, and everyone will live in his own way. Yourself, you don't have to divide one, three, five, two, four, six, you can go wherever you want.
Senya is only 19 years old, she is an orphan, she grew up in a convent, she is a little nun, the Persian warships broke through the city, captured them all, trained them as dancing girls, and later sold as prisoners of war to Arab merchants, and now simply sold to Hong Tao. She had a narrower understanding of the world, only a little bit of Byzantium, and later learned about Persia and Arabia, but it was not very clear, and she had no idea what the Great Song Dynasty was. She didn't feel miserable about marrying a lord, she was quite happy, and she felt that she should be the best place to go to be a rich man or a dancer in the court. It's just that she is more afraid of Hong Tao, because in order to scare them into obedience, the bastard of Martini has already described Hong Tao as a tyrant who eats fish and gets stuck in a thorn, and has to kill ten slaves to vent his anger. So on the wedding night, this little nun has always been cautious, and she didn't dare to shout in pain, not only did she not dare to shout, but she also had to put on a smiling face, for fear that she would also be beheaded by the Great Demon King of Hongtao. Hong Tao was a little confused, he thought that this Senya had been violated by several slave traders, and he kept complaining that he should marry that Mia, both of them were from the same monastery.
"You will be the master in the future, and Medini will be the slave! Tomorrow I will ask you for a whip, and you will whip him for revenge! Damn, dare to ruin my reputation behind my back, it's so hateful. It wasn't until he got up in the morning that Hong Tao saw the blood stains on the bed and asked the reason clearly, and then he realized that he had been used as a big horse monkey to scare children by the spineless thing of Martini.
"Will the master still be beheaded?" Senya was still struggling with the question, and the more Hong Tao smiled at her, the more terrible she felt.
"That's up to you, I don't like useless people, tell me what you can do." Hong Tao had already thought about her future, and when she learned almost all of her Chinese, she would go to school to become a Latin teacher, and by the way, introduce Catholicism to children. It is not for children to believe in religion, but to let children know that there is such a sect in the world, understand it clearly, and if they encounter it again in the future, it will be less likely to be deceived.
"I'll dance......" Senya curled into Hong Tao's arms and held out a finger.
"This doesn't count, I can only dance alone in the future." Hong Tao felt that last night's hand-holding process was very enjoyable, although Senya was the first time, but European women have a stronger physique, and they can actually satisfy themselves, so it is not impossible to get up in the morning and hold hands again, so the conversation became foreplay. As he teased the little nun, he reached behind Senya again...... God's people are doing well!
"I can also sing......" Senya also felt Hong Tao's claws, but she didn't dare to stop it, and had to raise her arm to make it easier for Hong Tao to succeed.
"Except for me, few people can understand what you sing, and I guess I can't understand it, so change another one." Hong Tao gave her second specialty to no.
“…… I can paint...... "Senia has a lot of things, in medieval Europe, oil painting was still a rudimentary form, it seems that she was also a diligent girl in the monastery.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Hong Tao didn't have the heart to listen to what she said, what he wanted to know more now was her body.
"I can learn ......," Senya obviously didn't understand what Hong Tao meant.
"Okay, I'll teach you right away, hehehe...... Don't say no, there's no better jockey than me, come on! Hong Tao smirked and pulled Senya's body over, then sat up with her in his arms, and let her straddle his lap. (To be continued.) )
