Chapter 307: A Coincidental Encounter
The shopkeeper was rushing out to catch up with the mother and son, and saw that the Mongolian woman was dressed beautifully, and the cavalry behind her was also dressed in a four-set stopper, so he knew that his identity was noble at a glance, so he hurriedly put down the mother and son first, and knelt down to greet him.
The so-called Sijisai was the guard of the court of the Yuan Dynasty, also known as the Su Guard, and most of them were served by the nobles of the Mongolian tribes. Therefore, although they are called guards, they are all high-ranking officials of the first grade, and most of the important ministers of the Yuan Dynasty are from them, and even take the position of Sijisai as the main position, and the official position in the court has become a part-time, which shows the prestige and power of Sijisai.
When the people in the restaurant saw so many Mongolian nobles appearing in front of them, they walked from the restaurant to the courtyard and knelt down. The Mongols on the second floor were no exception this time, and they came down from the second floor to salute the woman.
Cheng Yue and the generals didn't move at all, and they didn't even stand up.
The guard behind the Mongolian woman was furious when he saw this, and was about to get angry, but was stopped by the woman. She recognized Cheng Yue's uniform and didn't want to conflict with Cheng Yue's people.
The Mongolian woman called the mother and son and asked in Chinese, "Why are you crying?" What happened? Tell me about it. ”
The peasant woman also saw that this Mongolian woman was extraordinary, and maybe she could make her own decisions, so she cried and told what had just happened, and after speaking, she kowtowed again and again, begging the Mongolian woman to seek justice for them.
After listening to the peasant woman's account, the woman was very angry, pointed at the dozen Mongols, and rebuked them.
Those Mongols were scolded so much that they couldn't raise their heads, and when the woman's anger had subsided, they whispered something, but they were far away, and they couldn't hear it clearly.
The woman was stunned and asked a few words in a low voice. Listen to them say a few more words. There was an angry look on his face. He raised his horsewhip and whipped the Mongols a few times.
Those Mongols didn't dare to hide, and they didn't dare to cry out in pain when they were bloodied. The woman was relieved and said to the peasant woman: "I will seek justice for you in your business, so let's give you some money first, and then I will buy these sheep, okay?" ”
The peasant woman was grateful. He took the child and kowtowed a few times, took two pieces of broken silver from the woman's hand, and led the child away.
Cheng Yue showed a smile on his face, and all the generals also smiled, and said: "Dadu Governor, there are many good people among our Mongolians, and I don't know who this woman is, if it is the princess that Dadu Governor wants to marry." Do you want your subordinates to ask? ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter is not over yet." ”
The woman sent the peasant woman away and sighed. Lead the guards behind him into the restaurant.
Cheng Yue and the generals were still sitting motionless, and the guards behind the woman saw Cheng Yue holding up. glared at them angrily, but it was only because of the clothes on their bodies that they didn't dare to disobey the woman's order that they didn't make a move to Cheng Yue and the others.
The woman walked up to Cheng Yue, looked at the clothes on his body seriously, moved a chair and sat down and said, "Let me ask you, your clothes are different from theirs, and there is a star on your shoulder, are you an official?" ”
Cheng Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Sort of, I led the troops under the Dadu Governor." ”
The woman's eyes lit up, this was the first time that Cheng Yue's generals had spoken to her, and hurriedly asked, "Cheng Yue has arrived?" How far is he from here now? ”
Cheng Yue pointed to the direction they came from and said, "It's not far, it is estimated that the Metropolitan Governor will be able to enter the capital tomorrow, let's explore the road first." ”
The woman said: "Since you are a general under Cheng Yue, do you know what he usually likes to eat and play?" ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "This girl, what you are asking is the secret of the Grand Governor, not that we can know, even if we know, we can't say." ”
The woman snorted and said, "What's the big deal, if you don't say it, you won't say it." With a roll of his eyes, he asked again: "I heard that Cheng Yue's concubines are very beautiful, and I also brought a few companions with me this time, have you seen them?" Really beautiful? ”
The generals couldn't help laughing. Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The wife of the Grand Governor and the little ladies are all stunning, and everyone knows it. However, this time, except for the two little ladies who were nurses and a few maids who were waiting with him, the Metropolitan Governor did not bring any other women, otherwise wouldn't it be disrespectful to the princess? ”
The woman pouted and said, "You are really dishonest, what a maid, you are a concubine." I heard that in order to make these concubines of his more comfortable, he also specially borrowed the imperial painting boat of the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor. ”
Cheng Yue couldn't help laughing and said, "Girl, don't get me wrong, the boat was lent to the Metropolitan Governor by the Empress Dowager and her old man, and the Metropolitan Governor will not use it in vain." ”
The woman glared at Cheng Yue and said, "You know again?" Didn't you just know nothing, and if you did, you wouldn't say anything? ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, I won't say it, don't ask the girl anymore, okay?" ”
Although Cheng Yue said this, the woman didn't intend to let him go, and was about to ask again, when there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance. There were about thirty or forty horsemen, rampaging along the road to the market, and the screams of the people on the side of the road and the sound of things being broken were also heard, mixed with the laughter of the Mongols.
The woman frowned, patted the table, and said angrily: "What kind of majesty! Bully the common people, shameless. ”
The dozen or so Mongols had been standing by, smiling at the sound of horses' hooves. Suddenly, I heard the woman speak, but I didn't understand what she was talking about, but the expression on her face was very clear, and she could only laugh.
The sound of horses' hooves was near, and the dozen or so Mongols greeted them out. Soon, a middle-aged Mongolian man dressed in gorgeous clothes and a somewhat obese Mongolian woman and a Mongolian woman with a calm face led more than thirty elite cavalry stopped in front of the store. Most of the horsemen's horses carried things, some chickens, some sheep, as well as dogs and two little piglets, which were obviously their "prey".
Their arrival has made the store and customers miserable, except for Cheng Yue and them, everyone has been kneeling, and their heads have to be bowed, this is the end of being a slave to the country.
As soon as the horses of the middle-aged Mongol and the Mongol woman stopped, the two Han slaves immediately knelt on all fours, so that they could each step on the back of a Han slave and dismount.
Cheng Yue sighed secretly, and a trace of anger ignited in his pupils.
The middle-aged Mongolian looked around proudly, and when he saw that everyone outside was kneeling firmly, he nodded in satisfaction, put his hands behind his back, and strode in.
Huo Di, the Mongolian beauty beside Cheng Yue, stood up, walked out to greet them, and met in the courtyard.
The middle-aged Mongolian couple saw the Mongolian beauty ushering in, recognized her, and immediately smiled on their faces. The Mongolian beauty first saluted the couple and then chatted with them affectionately in Mongolian.
After listening to a few words, he clapped his hands happily and said to Cheng Yue: "Congratulations to the Grand Duke." This is the princess of Kublai Khan's Nangjiazhen, and the couple is the eldest princess of Yuelie, who was named the eldest princess of Zhao, and her concubine Aibuhua. Ai Buhua's subordinates know that she has always been arrogant and domineering, and Princess Yuelie has a good reputation, but she doesn't care about Ai Buhua. The subordinates see that Princess Nangjiazhen is beautiful and generous, can preside over justice, and is worthy of being the governor. ”
Cheng Yue smiled and looked at Nang Jiazhen's tall and plump figure, and his heart blossomed.
Nang Jiazhen asked Yuelie, "Why did my sister come to Dadu so suddenly?" Is there anything you need to do? Or did you just come to visit Father Khan? ”
Yue Lie said: "There are two things, the first is to inform my father Khan of the movements of the northern kings, and the other is to take a look at the horses that my sister wants to summon. I heard that although he is a Han Chinese, he is young and handsome, and he can fight well, and even his father Khan likes him very much, so I want to meet him by the way. ”
Nang Jiazhen said a little shyly: "Cheng Yue is almost here, I just talked to the generals under him, he will enter the capital tomorrow, and the Heavenly Father Khan should summon him, and then my sister and Ai Buhua will see it." ”
Ai Buhua said with a smile: "You and Wan Ze can be called the flowers of Mongolia, and their identities are so noble, Cheng Yue is a lowly Han man, how can he be able to marry one of you?" Haha, I'd like to see what kind of character he is! ”
Totoh had been listening and translating at the same time, and when he heard that Ai Buhua insulted the Han people, he frowned, hesitated, and finally translated it to Cheng Yue according to the original words.
After Cheng Yue heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but put a sneering smile on the corner, and all the generals snorted coldly, but they all remained silent. Before Cheng Yue spoke, there was no part for them to speak.
Nang Jia really glanced back at Cheng Yue worriedly, and then turned his head back to Ai Buhua and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the Han people have nothing to be cheap, Cheng Yue is even more amazing, he ......"
Ai Buhua sneered and interrupted Nang Jiazhen and said: "Cheng Yue is just a villain who relies on his weapons and hides in the distance to take advantage of some advantages, what's so powerful?" Those who don't dare to fight openly with swords and guns are cowards! The Han people are all like this, which is really despised. ”
Nang Jia was really anxious and said, "Even if you look down on the Han people, you can't bully them casually." What kind of hero are you to shoot someone's livestock to death as prey? I just lost money for you for those sheep just now, and you pay for them yourself! Otherwise, I'll tell Father Khan! ”
Ai Buhua was stunned for a moment, and then said disapprehantly: "What are you doing, I just want to roast a few sheep to eat, no matter whose it is, it is mine if it is shot by an arrow!" Sparing them alive is merciful enough. You are a princess, don't lose money to the Han people, so it's not good to be known by the Great Khan. ”
Nang Jia Zhen said angrily: "If you want to eat sheep, won't you buy it?" Aren't you ashamed to rob the sheep of the Han people and look down on others? ”
Seeing that the two were arguing, Yue Lie was afraid that the two would stiffen, so he hurriedly interjected: "Okay, isn't it just a few livestock, I'll compensate." He took out a few pieces of treasure money from his bosom, called a few attendants, and ordered them to deliver the money to the peasant farmers who had just been disturbed. Then he took off the jade ring on his finger, stuffed it into Nangjiazhen's hand and said, "This is the beautiful jade I just got, give it to you, dissipate your anger, okay?" (To be continued......)
