Chapter 241: The Son of Heaven Sells Meat on the Street
After Kunning Palace was burned to ruins, Chu Huaixiu appointed Gu Chongshan as the superintendent and re-established the palace on the site of Kunning Palace, named Xiaoyao Palace, which was exclusively for Wen Tong to live in.
Gather the treasures of the world, gold for bricks, pearls for curtains, pepper mud to decorate the wall, ivory collapse carved exquisitely, ambergris a thousand gold or two, extremely luxurious and luxurious.
In the southeast corner of the palace, six palaces were bulldozed, a hundred acres of flat land were vacated, Chang'an-style shops, wine shops, and song shops were built, and the palace people were ordered to pretend to be vegetable sellers, fish sellers, shopkeepers, small two, ordinary people and other market figures, wear Dayong costumes, and walk back and forth in them, creating a sense of Chang'an City.
Nan Baoyi followed Xiao Yi to wander around this palace market, and was simply stunned.
She was curious: "What does Chu Huaixiu want to do?" β
Xiao Yi sneered: "Find a way to pursue the imperial sister-in-law." At first, he wanted to send troops to attack Dayong to avenge the emperor's brother, but was rejected by the emperor's sister-in-law. Later, when she saw that the imperial sister-in-law was depressed all day long, she spent a lot of money to build a luxurious palace, and built a Chang'an-style market to relieve her worries and boredom, so that she would not miss her hometown. β
Nan Baoyi silently exhaled a cloud of white mist.
It turns out that when you are an emperor, you can really do whatever you want.
She sat next to the pastry shop on the street with Xiao Yi, looking around curiously: "Where is the imperial sister-in-law?" β
Xiao Yi raised his chin.
Nan Baoyi looked at it, the imperial sister-in-law was wearing a Dayong Palace skirt, sitting in front of the stage with the palace maids, watching the song and dance of Chang'an, Xu was thinking about the crown prince, and her apricot eyes were a little distracted.
She couldn't bear to step forward and disturb, and said, "What about Chu Huaixiu?" β
"Sell meat over there."
"Sell...... Meat?! β
Nan Baoyi was surprised.
An unsightly picture appeared in her mind, and she hurriedly looked at Chu Huaixiu.
It turns out that this meat is sold, not the other sells meat.
Chu Huaixiu tied a ponytail at random, a few locks of broken hair scattered on his forehead, a smile on his handsome face, a bare upper body, wearing a pair of linen pants, an apron around his waist, and a stall full of pork in front of him, he was holding a greasy big kitchen knife, and he was cutting off a piece of fat and thin pork belly and selling it to the palace maid who came to buy meat.
The palace maid crowed like a rooster, let out a series of excited screams, and with a string of pork belly in her hand, she couldn't wait to cover her face shyly.
The other palace maids rushed up, and all came to buy meat from the Son of Heaven.
Nan Baoyi: "......"
The brain paused for a few moments.
She couldn't believe it: "Chu Huaixiu is crazy?!" β
"Colorful clothes entertain relatives." Xiao Yi took a sip of tea, "I tried to use this way to make the imperial sister-in-law happy." β
Nan Baoyi looked at Chu Huaixiu carefully.
Sure enough, when I saw him showing off his sword skills like a treasure, he had to glance in the direction of the emperor's sister-in-law from time to time, and when he noticed that the other party didn't care about his movements at all, he was not discouraged, and the more he sold, the more courageous he became.
Well, the world of love saints, she doesn't understand.
After seeing the freshness, she said worriedly: "The Son of Heaven sells meat on the street, but it is nonsense, and the courtiers have no advice?" β
Xiao Yi was noncommittal: "Jiaojiao look over there." β
Nan Baoyi looked.
Gu Chongshan sat behind a medicinal herb stall with an expressionless face.
Countless nobles of the family crowded in front of the stall, scrambling to buy medicinal materials from him, but it was more like a closer look at the beauty of the nine-thousand-year-old prosperous age than to buy medicine.
Sure enough, people with good looks can eat anywhere.
She looked at the past one by one, the prime minister's jewelry shop, the historian's bookstore, the cloth village of the household, the wine shop of the Ministry of Rites, the porcelain shop of Jing Zhaoyin, etc., row upon row, and every house was lively.
"I kind of understand," she sighed, "Chu Huaixiu has brought all the courtiers here, and every family has made money, and those courtiers will naturally not advise the emperor." Second brother, do you have a shop, and what are you selling? β
"Jiaojiao."
"Shu brocade?"
"That's not right."
"Money?"
"That's not right."
Nan Baoyi thought about it, shook his head and said, "Then I can't guess." β
Xiao Yi paused for a moment and said, "Vinegar." β
Nan Baoyi: "Well, it's quite in line with the second brother." β
It was lively, and a red horse galloped over.
The girl on horseback, wearing cowhide boots, wearing a red palace skirt, a brown animal skin tied around her waist, a cloak with a large fox fur collar tied around her neck, black hair and snow skin, and an arrogant look.
She wielded a long whip, spoke words that others could not understand, and laughed sharply from time to time, which made the civil and military officials and eunuchs and palace maids all over the street inexplicable.
Nan Baoyi raised her eyebrows.
Others couldn't understand the girl's words, but she did.
This girl is from the Northern Wei Dynasty and speaks the native dialect of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
During the years in Xichang in her previous life, Gu Chongshan not only sent her to teach the workshop to learn singing and dancing, teach her riding and archery kung fu, but also personally taught her the language of the Northern Wei Dynasty, fortunately, she is still a little talented in language, and she still remembers the Northern Wei language.
She translated to Xiao Yi: "She is the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and she scolded the Nanyue people for being defeated in the war, and she should be bowed down." β
Xiao Yi bowed his head.
He glanced at Gu Chongshan from afar.
It seems that the Northern Wei mission entered Beijing ahead of schedule.
He said: "I have something to do, Jiaojiao sits here, don't run around, wait for me to come back." β
Nan Baoyi nodded.
Xiao Yi got up and left the palace at the same time as Gu Chongshan.
Nan Baoyi still paid attention to the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
She was not very good at riding, and accidentally knocked over the fish shop, rolled off her horse in embarrassment, and rolled over the fish basin filled with clean water, and was half wet.
The little palace maid who sold the fish was frightened and cried and knelt down and kowtowed to her.
However, the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty was still furious, raised her horsewhip and whipped the little palace maid fiercely, whipping the little palace maid covered in blood, rolling back and forth on the ground and begging for mercy.
Nan Bao Yi didn't want to care.
But when I remembered myself in my previous life, I was also whipped under the feet of others, and I also rolled around and begged for mercy like this, and finally I felt a trace of compassion.
She held the whip of the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, spoke in the half-baked Northern Wei dialect, and said seriously: "She didn't mean it, please forgive the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty to show her leniency and mercy." β
The girl raised her eyebrows, as if she was surprised that someone knew the local dialect of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
She took a piece of paper out of her arms.
Because of the wetness, some of the ink words on the paper can no longer be seen clearly.
She said: "The Northern Wei mission arrived in Beijing, this is what Princess Ben wants to say at the state banquet tomorrow night, since you know the two Chinese languages, can you make up for Princess Ben?" β
Nan Baoyi took it.
The paper is full of everyday communicative expressions, such as "The Emperor of Nanyue is blessed with peace between the two countries", "Thank you", "You are also beautiful", and so on.
This translation is not difficult.
Nan Baoyi sat down in front of the Four Treasures Shop in the study room on the street, and re-translated and transcribed.
As I wrote, I heard the Northern Wei princess standing behind, scolding and scolding in the more vulgar Western Northern Wei dialect: "Little smashing, knowing two Chinese languages is very remarkable, showing what kind of prestige!" β
This kind of even rarer Western Northern Wei dialect has also been heard by Gu Chongshan.
A coldness flashed in Danfeng's eyes.
With a flick of her pen, she translated "The Emperor of Nanyue is blessed with Jin'an" into "The Emperor of Nanyue is a mallet", and other analogies.

The palace opened a market square, inspired by the Southern Qi Emperor Xiao Baojuan: "Set up a market in the palace, the eunuchs slaughtered pigs and sheep, the palace maids sold wine and meat, and Concubine Pan acted as the city order"
