Chapter 142 Gong City
After a few days of rain, thunder and thunder, Song Yansheng came back from Wen Si Pavilion, and his shoes and socks were all wet. Hengbo held an umbrella, ran into the corridor behind her, and bumped into the bride of the big house, Luo Bingxin, the eldest girl. Now it's time to call Miss Luo, it's time to call sister-in-law.
Song Yansheng saw the salute, and asked with a casual smile, "Where is the sister-in-law going with such a heavy rain?" ”
"Da Lang is back home today, I look at the time, and I am about to meet him."
Song Yansheng smiled, "The eldest brother will be very happy, sister-in-law should go." ”
Luo Bingxin responded, and was about to take a step, when he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, sixth sister, I brought some objects from my house to play with the girls in the house, I look at the novelty and fun, and my sister picks a few stubborn things." ”
Song Yansheng thought of what he had seen in the palace recently, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "But it's a foreign object?" ”
If you want to say that there are any major events in Beijing recently, you have to mention the grand event of the Quartet coming to the court. Lord Luo Yuluo of the Luo family is an official of Honglu Temple, and the matter of Si Jiubin. He is the most well-informed, and the Honglu Temple has been busy recently.
Today, when I passed through the most prosperous Suzaku Street from Wen Si Ge's home, I saw foreign guests dressed in foreign costumes in the market, and even the Gong Market was opened. A special trade point was set up in front of the Suzaku Gate, and the envoys from all over the world could display and sell local products in the Gong Market after coming to Beijing, these items were very fresh, and Song Yansheng also saw the nomadic camel herd, the camel bells rang in the rain, carrying the goods and furs for sale.
Not only these, but there are many new and interesting things.
Luo Bingxin saw that her eyes were shining, and she couldn't help but smile and said: "If the sixth girl is interested, there are still a few travelogues in my room, most of which are drawn by predecessors, which record the customs and customs of these Zhou countries. ”
The sixth girl was also polite, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
The girl in the big house soon sent her these travelogues, and even brought a box. There are a lot of gadgets in this box, which are very novel and cute, and they are all liked by the girls. Song Yansheng picked up an octagonal cowhide drum, clapped it for a while, and by the way, handed Hengbo a rattle-like bracelet, painted with delicate and repeated patterns, all of which are a set, and a few more people can beat and beat a short piece of music.
Song Yansheng was more interested in those travelogues, and the first book he opened depicted the topography and distribution of the 12 tribes in northern Xinjiang. Since the northern Xinjiang was put down and bowed down, the sideline has been stable for more than ten years. She curiously studied the checkpoint bordering the Beijing Gate, since the defeat of Danmu and the retreat, the internal instability, gradually split into 12 departments, scattered and lived. Danmu's core royal family retreated to the north, having lost absolute control over northern Xinjiang.
It was the first time in recent years that the grand event of the Quartet came to the court, and it was lively in Beijing. When the chariots and horses of the envoys of all parties entered Beijing, the fourth son of the emperor was responsible for receiving them. Emperor Mingde has been in a good mood recently, after all, he is in a good mood all over the world, and all countries are coming to the court, which is what every emperor expects, which also represents the strength of Dacheng today.
Song Yansheng followed Yuan Ying to play in Gong City. At present, the envoys of the Quartet enter Beijing, and the Beijing Gate is full of people, and it is very lively, and the most lively is the tribute market on Suzaku Street. Tributary is also a means of trade, a means of diplomacy. Under the premise of paying tribute, the envoys of various countries accompanied them to bring their own unique products, or took ships, or opened horses, and transported these merchants to Beijing, bartering goods for gold, and then used to buy what they needed. For example, northern Xinjiang needs grain and herbs, and Dongying needs silk and porcelain. Out of the policy of gentleness, the products of their subject countries were sold very well, and the saints would give back more gold and silver goods to them, and these Zhou kingdoms could almost return with a full load after paying tribute.
Yuan Ying was so crowded in the crowd that she couldn't take a step because of her small size, so she stretched out her hand and pulled people all the way forward. Song Yansheng's shoes almost squeezed out one, and the front began to dredge up a little empty.
Here are the red-bearded merchants who came to Beijing with the envoys from the West. All of them were tall and deep-looking, with pale blue eyes.
These redbearded merchants sell furs, which are processed through a special process, and the furs are white and fluffy, and they are very warm at first sight.
Yuan Ying stood and took a slight breath, staring at the merchants here in Gong City for a while, then turned his head to look at Song Yansheng, and said in a low voice, "He seems to be glaring at me." ”
“…… Not really. Song Yansheng also whispered back, "The people over there are all like this, they look fierce." ”
Because they came to Gong City quietly, both of them changed into men's clothes. The red-bearded merchant stared at them without blinking, as if in confusion, and then spat out a series of unintelligible words.
"What did he say?"
Song Yansheng naturally didn't know. I knew I was here, so I asked my sister-in-law to introduce a rumor in Honglu Temple.
Visitors from all over the world came to the city, and merchants from all over the world spoke in the languages of various countries, and at once people did not know what to say, and their ears were full of these words that they did not understand.
The fur merchant saw that the two of them stopped in front of their shop, and chattered a lot, and finally the language was really incomprehensible, and he thought that the two of them were standing here to buy his hat, and then smiled and handed over a pointed wool hat, and pointed to a big pass, probably to introduce the hat, from the strange pointed top to the wide brim, and finally turned it over to show the two of them the plush and warm wool inside.
"I don't want to buy a hat, this summer is here, and buying a hat to wear at this time is not to heat up a prickly heat." Yuan Ying muttered, looking at the hat that was about to come to herself, flashed to the side again and again, pointed at herself, and quickly waved her hand and clenched her fist.
The red-bearded merchant understood this gesture, but he smiled, raised his hand and turned, and then the strangely shaped woolen hat fell on Song Yansheng's head.
"Poof."
"That's enough, you." Song Yansheng couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to take off his hat, but he heard a surprise shout from the opposite side of Tougong City: "Hey, the little county lord of Yuan is here!" ”
"Master, you see that Miss Liu is also there, haha, what a coincidence." Listening to the voice, Song Yansheng turned his head, and it was really Yiyun. Looking at him, Duan Xun was sitting in a wheelchair, dressed in white, noble and eye-catching, followed by Jing Yun.
Duan Xun didn't notice the two of them at first, and after hearing what Yiyun said, he turned his gaze from a merchant on the side of Gong City. He didn't tie his hair today, just the usual decoration, and only a sachet hung from his waist. But when people sit there, the momentum comes out, and at first glance it is not an ordinary family.
In the midst of the comings and goings, Song Yansheng looked at the pair of phoenix eyes that looked over. Duan Xun saw the person, and suddenly smiled softly.
The six girls were wearing ill-fitting teenage outfits, and they didn't know where Yuan Ying got them, how strange they looked. Miss Song Liu didn't seem to notice it, and she still had a strange fur hat on her head, and turned around and tilted her head with big eyes.
may be a little strange in the eyes of others, but in Duanxun's eyes, she is delicate and cute, and her heart is soft and soft.
Yuan Ying heard the shout, and also turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was him, he raised his eyebrows, and said strangely: "Why are you here too?" There are so many people here. ”
Duan Xun was neatly dressed in the crowd, and his white clothes were not stained with dust, without the slightest embarrassment when the two of them were crowded.
"There weren't that many people earlier." Jing Yun pushed Duan Xun over, and the sixth girl had already taken off her hat and was looking at him with Yuan Ying.
"I'm bored in the palace, so I'll come over and see the excitement." Duan Xun was close, and Song Yansheng could smell a faint fragrance of the orchid fragrance on his body.
Yuan Ying let out an "oh" sound, and looked at the bunk where he was just now, the merchant on the other side was a white-haired old man, looking at the clothes on his body, it should be from the Danmu clan in Northern Xinjiang, and he looked a little like an adult.
Earlier, when Northern Xinjiang was rampant, there were several breakthroughs and robbed many Dacheng girls in the border realm. During the Qizhang period, many princesses and relatives were also sent out. Among the 13 tribes in northern Xinjiang that are now separated, there are also many mixed-race Danmu people. If you guess correctly, Matsutohira is also like this, but he really doesn't look like a Danmu person, but he looks like an adult.
