The next day, the woman woke up, found that her veil had been removed, got up and touched the wound on her back with her backhand, frowned and turned her head to look at the surrounding environment, got up with difficulty, Pearl came to the camp tent with a meal, and hurriedly put down the food plate in her hand and helped her and said, "Girl, why did you get out of bed!"

The woman pushed Pearl's hand in a panic, said a few words, made Pearl look dazed, and pushed Pearl out of nutrition as she spoke, Pearl returned to the main tent with a strange look, Su Xiaoman frowned when she saw her: "What's wrong?"

"County Lord, that woman is a Fanbang woman, I don't understand what she said, and she also kicked me out, I don't know why!"

Pearl spread out the handboard, shook his head and said, Su Xiaoman got up and walked out of the camp tent to summon Han Zhi and asked, "Is there a translator in the camp?"

Han Zhi nodded and replied, "Returning to the county lord, there is an interpreter in the camp!"

Su Xiaoman said: "You go and invite the interpreter to the side tent!"

Han Zhi bowed: "Yes!" Go now! ”

Su Xiaoman walked to the door of the side tent and shouted at the door: "Girl, can I come in?"

No one answered in the tent, Su Xiaoman opened the curtain of the tent, the woman stepped forward with her hands crossed in front of her chest, bent down and saluted Su Xiaoman, the interpreter soon came to the tent, and when the interpreter came, the woman hurriedly hid behind the screen and said a few words of Fanbang.

The interpreter translated: "She said that Fanbang women must not hide their faces to meet men!"

Su Xiaomanran, whispered to the pearl to get the veil, handed it to the woman behind the screen, the woman walked out from behind the screen gracefully, and warmly invited Su Xiaoman to sit down, the translator stood aside, Su Xiaoman turned his head to the interpreter and said, "Can you help me ask her what her name is, where does her family live?"

The translator repeated Su Xiaoman's words in a burst of Bang language, and the woman replied with a paragraph of Bang language

The interpreter said: "She said that her name is Rudidi, Uganda, she is from Fanbang, she lives in the mountains and villages, and she is alone!"

Su Xiaoman said again: "Then you asked her how she saved the general?"

The interpreter translated for a while, and the woman replied, and the interpreter repeated: "She said that when she was washing clothes by the river, she found that the general was seriously wounded, but she was still alive, so she took the general back to her thatched hut to heal!"

Su Xiaoman smiled at her, and said some words of gratitude for the interpreter to translate, and promised that she would send her back after she recovered from her injury, but she shook her head vigorously, and Su Xiaoman asked puzzledly, "Why do you shake your head?"

She was silent, lowered her head and didn't speak again, Su Xiaoman didn't want to ask again, so she had to let her take care of her injuries first, thinking that it would not be too late to send her back after the injuries were healed.

During this period, the soldiers in the barracks were recovering from their injuries, waiting for Lu Li's injuries to recover before leaving for the return to Canglan Country, and sent a messenger back to report the good news of the victory, Su Xiaoman also cooked himself and made a big pot of good meals to reward the soldiers.

Lu Li's injuries are getting better day by day, and Rudidi's injuries in Uganda are also healing, the people of Fanbang are hospitable, can sing and dance, and I don't know where to get the musical instrument to play, while playing the instrument, while raising the dance, the soldiers around the bonfire, singing the war song, the bell on Rudidi's feet with the dance is exceptionally crisp.

Lu Li got up and ended

He picked up the wine bowl and shouted: "Brothers have worked hard, tomorrow we will return to Canglan!" I will report your credit one by one! ”

All the soldiers cheered, raised the wine bowl and drank it all, and then slammed the wine bowl on the ground to express the joy of victory, Rudidi danced in front of Lu Li, crossed his hands in front of his chest and bent down to salute, and danced happily, the atmosphere was very happy and lively.

Late at night, everyone rested early, early in the morning, the soldiers packed all their bags, and lined up in the camp in a neat manner, Su Xiaoman got up and finished washing, packed up and got into the carriage, Lu Li rode on horseback in a heroic manner, and instructed Han Zhi to send Uganda Rudidi home safely, the horn sounded, and the group set off.

I saw her running out of the camp tent in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled the reins of Lu Li, not letting him go, the army stopped, Su Xiaoman lifted the curtain and looked, only to see her tearful drag his horse and not let him go.

Su Xiaoman got out of the car and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Didi spoke another incomprehensible Fanbang language, and Lu Li frowned and shouted, "Where is the interpreter?"

The interpreter stepped forward politely and made a bow: "General, the lower official is here!"

Lu Li said: "You translate, what did she say?"

Rudidi said again, the interpreter frowned embarrassedly, I don't know whether it should be translated well or not, Lu Li asked, "What did she say?" Speak quickly! ”

The interpreter said, "This ...... Returning to the general, this girl said that you have seen her true face and want to marry her home, otherwise she will not be able to marry in this life! ”

Su Xiaoman was stunned, what is the reason?

Rudidi said again, and the interpreter translated: "She said that the tradition of Fanbangguo is that if you see the true face of an unmarried woman, you must marry back, otherwise she will be used by the villagers to worship the gods and tie her to a stake and burn her to death!"

Lu Li was surprised, what kind of bullshit tradition this is, and snorted: "Then aren't the women on the border of our country going to marry countless husbands?"

The soldiers laughed, Rudidi cried and refused to let go of the reins, and Su Xiaoman couldn't step forward to say anything, after all, she was Lu Li's life-saving benefactor.

"Why don't you bring her back to Canglan first, you can't leave her here alone, now the army is waiting to go!"

Su Xiaoman persuaded Lu Li, thought for a while, Lu Li also agreed, Lu Didi smiled happily when he saw him nodding, Su Xiaoman took her to the carriage and returned to Canglan together.

Two days away, when returning to the main city of Canglan, the city gate opened, and the people stood on both sides of the street to celebrate the triumphant return of the soldiers, Rudidi was in a mood at this time, and knocked on the curtain from time to time, turned his head to look at Su Xiaoman and said: "Thank you!"

Su Xiaoman was stunned, she could actually speak the Central Plains? Although it wasn't very smooth, I could still understand it, presumably because I was going to come to Canglan and learned from the translator on the way.

For convenience, Su Xiaoman also specially invited the interpreter to the mansion as a guest, and the interpreter was alone, if he had a family, he would not have to kill his family in a hurry.

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Lu Li changed

The court clothes went to the palace, Su Xiaoman took Lu Didi and placed her in the wing room of the mansion, Lu Wangshu happily ran over and shouted excitedly: "A-Niang, you can come back, my son wants to kill you!"

rushed forward and hugged Su Xiaoman.

"Are you still well-behaved in the house recently? Didn't cause any trouble, did you? ”

Su Xiaoman asked Lu Wangshu, only to see his mouth curled, and he turned his face away and snorted: "Auntie, why do you always think about your son in a bad place, now my son is half an adult, and I have arranged the garment shop properly recently!" The business is good, if you don't believe it, you will go to the account room to check tomorrow! ”

Su Xiaoman smiled: "Okay, good, you are the best!"

Lu Wangshu smiled with satisfaction: "It's pretty much the same!"

Then he said: "By the way, I heard that Daddy almost lost his life this time, but it's true, the messenger sent a letter back to say that Daddy was seriously injured, but I was worried to death, but fortunately you are all back!"

"Your father went to the palace to meet the king, you asked the kitchen to get more delicious food at night, and tonight we will celebrate your father's death!"

Su Xiaoman said happily, Lu Wangshu nodded: "Okay, tonight, I must let Daddy make up for it!" Ha ha! ”

There was no time to rest, Su Xiaoman was worried that Lu Didi would not be comfortable in the wing room, so he hurriedly called Pearl to invite her to the main courtyard and set up a tea party, so that she could experience the folk customs of Canglan Country.

Rudidi was dressed in handmade clothes from the ready-to-wear workshop with a veil, and when he arrived, his deep eyes, long eyelashes, and blue pupils looked unique, and even the pearl standing on the side was surprised: "County Lord, our clothes look so good on her!"

Su Xiaoman smiled: "People are beautiful, everything you wear is beautiful!"

The interpreter stood aside, looking at Rudidi, his eyes about to pop out.

Ahem......

Coughing lightly twice, signaling the interpreter not to lose his identity, the interpreter lowered his head embarrassedly and smiled, Pearl served the prepared tea, and the interpreter was also invited to sit down.

Su Xiaoman still had some worries in his heart, Fanbang custom is about to marry her when he sees her true face, what should I do now, I can't keep her in the house, but if Lu Li really marries her, I can't get over the hurdle in my heart, and I immediately said: "You help me tell her, now in Canglan Country, there is no such tradition, you can take off the veil and live, you ask her if she is willing?"

After the interpreter finished speaking, he saw Lu Didi shaking his head, looking at Su Xiaoman with an aggrieved look in his eyes and saying, "I.... You can be a concubine! ”

Being a concubine? Even if she let go of her selfishness and agreed, Lu Li's side would not be willing, listening to Rudidi speaking awkwardly Zhongyuan dialect, she felt strange in her heart, presumably she had done a lot of work to learn these words.

Su Xiaoman pondered for a while, but he didn't feel good in his heart, he still had to smile in front of people, who let her save Lu Li, even if she asked to be a concubine, it was not too much, not to mention that she just followed traditional customs, and she couldn't complain about anyone.

Seeing that Su Xiaoman did not speak, Lu Didi immediately knelt on the ground, speaking Fanbang dialect, his eyes revealing grievances, translation

The official hurriedly translated: "She said that she came to Canglan Country alone, begging you not to abandon her!" She is willing to be a cow and a horse, serving you and the general. ”

Su Xiaoman got up and helped her up, patted the back of her hand, and comforted: "Even if I agree, I don't know if he agrees!" Don't be anxious, I'll talk to him tomorrow! ”

The translator translated the original words to Rudidi, and saw that she instantly smiled and saluted Su Xiaoman.

In the evening, a few tables of banquets were set up in the house, and several deputy generals and family members were invited, Su Xiaoman greeted the guests at each table with great grace, only Lu Wangshu was the only one who always paid attention to this Rudidi from Fanbang, got up and pulled Su Xiaoman, who was socializing, and asked, "A-Niang, who is this woman?" Why did you come back with your father and live in our house? ”
