544 Don't be taboo

Visually inspecting that the Xiongnu were at least a thousand kilometers away from Xudu, and the approximate location should be in the northeast of Inner Mongolia, Wang Baoyu nodded and asked confusedly: "In my impression, the Xiongnu should be in the northwest, why did they come to the northeast?" ”

"No, the Xiongnu have been entrenched in the north, and then repeatedly defeated, divided into two, one of which fled to the land of Xiliang, this family returned to the imperial court, and lived here." Yang Xiu explained.

Oh! Wang Baoyu replied and asked, "Do they also speak our language?" ”

"He has been in the Central Plains for 20 years of war, so he naturally understands the language of the country, and most of the children of the nobles now also learn it." Yang Xiudao.

Oh, it turns out that the Three Kingdoms era also attached importance to foreign language training, and it is good to be able to understand people's words, Wang Baoyu put his mind at ease and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang, you came here just to sue me about this?" ”

"The Huns have repeatedly violated our territory, and they are stubborn by nature, and the Qin Emperor has built the Great Wall to resist it, you go this time, don't be careful, don't violate its taboos." Yang Xiu said solemnly.

"What are the taboos?" Wang Baoyu pricked up his ears, he had to listen to this matter carefully, after all, it was about his own life.

Yang Xiu took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "First, if you encounter a pole, you can't go to visit. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Many of his people have the habit of having fun in the wilderness, and they stick in for faith." Yang Xiudao.

"See, don't worry, I'm not interested in this kind of thing." Wang Baoyu said.

"Second, it is disrespectful to advise people not to drink."

Wang Baoyu suddenly frowned, and said unhappily: "I drink an average amount of alcohol, so I can't drink to death!" ”

"Hehe, the prime minister has already prepared." Yang Xiu smiled, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and opened it to see that there were a bunch of small pills inside.

"What is this?"

"Decanting pills, you can take them beforehand." Yang Xiudao.

"It's still the prime minister who thinks thoughtfully." Wang Baoyu accepted the sobering pill and asked, "Besides, what else should I pay attention to?" ”

"Third, if there is a gift, do not refuse it." Yang Xiuda said meaningfully.

"Hehe, this is too simple, you must take everything you want." Wang Baoyu laughed.

"If you can follow these three rules, you can get unimpeded." Yang Xiudao.

"When people give gifts, can't we be empty-handed?" Wang Baoyu asked.

Yang Xiu took out a cloth scroll from his bosom, opened it and said, "Everything you brought with you on this trip is all on it." ”

Wang Baoyu glanced at it, and saw that it was written that there were 100 horses of silk, 500 entourage soldiers, 100 women, plus grain and grass, and two messengers.

The silk satin can be understood, the Huns must be rare this thing, five hundred soldiers, probably to ensure their own safety, two messengers, used to send letters, but one hundred women, Wang Baoyu does not understand.

"Mr. Yang, why are you bringing so many women?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"This is also a gift to the Huns." Yang Xiudao.

"Just send something, why do you have to give it away?"

"Intermarriage can weaken the clan." Yang Xiu said succinctly.

Wang Baoyu understood that these women were given to the Xiongnu to give birth to children, the purpose was to confuse the purity of their bloodline, alas, women were victims of politics in this era.

"Aren't these women pitiful?" Wang Baoyu asked a lot.

"No, the prime minister should be kind to his family, and there are many disputes." Yang Xiu waved his hand.

Although Wang Baoyu had compassion, he couldn't care about other people's wishes, looked at Yang Xiu's neat collar, and asked, "Mr. Yang, do you have any other things in your arms, take them out together, and it will be troublesome to jump out alone." ”

Yang Xiu touched the neckline, Wang Baoyu thought there were others, but he didn't expect Yang Xiu to just smooth out the wrinkles with his hands, "That's all." ”

Cut, meeting a careful person, Wang Baoyu nodded and said: "Since everything has been arranged, when will you start?" ”

"Tomorrow."

Wang Baoyu only now understood that the reason why Cao Cao did not let him go to the Xiongnu immediately was that he was arranging this series of things, but he was very meticulous. However, these 100 women should also have some appearance, just to exchange for Cai Wenji as a woman, which shows that Cao Cao's attention to her is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Thinking of this, Wang Baoyu really has some expectations, what kind of country and city this Cai girl should be, it is worth so many people to work hard for her.

After conveying Cao Cao's arrangement, Yang Xiu got up and was about to leave, Wang Baoyu didn't want to keep him, this person is known for being able to guess other people's thoughts, and you have to be very careful when getting along with him.

"Mr. Yang, can you tell me, what is the matter with the prime minister asking you to teach Huoya culture?" Wang Baoyu couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, I don't know the prime minister's intentions." Yang Xiu smiled, obviously not telling the truth.

Damn, don't say it, it's not a big deal anyway, Huoya has something to do, it's better than pestering herself.

As soon as she saw that the teacher was leaving, Huoya also hurriedly came out to send it, but she seemed extremely attentive, of course, this is not surprising, who doesn't want to master more knowledge, no matter what era it is, knowledge is power. Especially the women in ancient times, those who received education were all rich women, who had ever seen the daughters of poor families holding books and reading? Therefore, for the fire girl who wants to step into the upper class, she naturally puts a lot of effort into learning.

"Manman, if you have any questions, you can go to my house at any time." When he was about to leave the gate, Yang Xiu didn't forget to say a word.

"Thank you, teacher." The fire girl looked very well-behaved and gave a deep salute.

Wang Baoyu was very disdainful of this, closed the door of the mansion, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Even your name is sΓΉ him?" ”

"The teacher is teaching, of course, you have to give a name." Huo Ya bowed her head and said.

"Mr. Zhuge and Sister Yueying have also taught you before, but I haven't heard them call you Manman."

"The teacher treats me politely because of you."

"One teacher by one, and the name is quite close, so you just recognize him as a father."

"Baoyu, if you don't like it, Huoya won't pay attention to him anymore." Huoya said hurriedly.

"Forget it, I'm leaving anyway, you can follow him and learn more things." Wang Baoyu didn't want to be serious with Huoya.

"Baoyu, why don't you bring the fire girl with you? I will go with me. The fire girl pleaded.

"Hehe, I'll bring a hundred women this time, all of them are given to the Huns as wives, if you want to go, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back." Wang Baoyu smiled evilly.

"I'll be here waiting for you to come back." Huoya hurriedly said, no longer daring to propose to follow.

As soon as he entered the house and sat down, the servant came to report that another guest had arrived, and that he was extraordinary, and asked the master to greet him personally.

Wang Baoyu was annoyed when he heard it, Lao Tzu is also a second-class master, who is so arguing, waved his hand and said: "Sue him, love doesn't come, Lao Tzu is sleepy, and he still wants to sleep!" ”
