Chapter 97: Word Measurement
When the news of the Tibetan people's fight in the camp reached Li Yuntong's ears, she was playing word test with Chuncao.
Because of the cold weather, she added a fox fur cloak to the apricot yellow fur satin jacket, a black hair was tied up with a black ribbon, and the top of the head was braided into a snail bun, the sideburns were already a little loose, and the pearl hair ornament was skillfully wrapped into the bun when it was in the bun, and the glossy pearl was hidden in the hair, which looked gentle and elegant.
Seeing the maidservants arguing there, she reclined on the small table on the couch, supported herself with one hand, and did not stop drinking, but listened to their laughter.
When Dongqing came in, she saw Li Yuntong sitting crookedly in the tent as beautiful as a goddess on the picture scroll, but it was more beautiful and delicious.
Compared with those plump and round noblewomen, Li Yuntong is still a little more slender and slender, and just like that, she seems to be more graceful, and Dongqing was stunned for a while.
It wasn't until Qiu Feng found out and greeted her that Dong Qing came back to her senses.
She walked a few steps forward, and said to Li Yuntong after giving a salute: "Your Royal Highness Princess, something happened in the Tubo camp...... she told the news she heard.
"Hmm, got it." Because Lu Dongzan had already dealt with it, Li Yuntong didn't say anything about this matter, just looked at Bu Chi and asked: "In Tubo, do you look down on women?" β
Bu Chi thought for a while and replied cautiously, "In our place, when father and brother talk about things, even grandma can't speak, if someone saves them, they must give their daughter as a reward, and if they don't have a daughter, they will give their sister to others, and if they don't want it, they will give ten taels of silver." Power and wealth belong to men, and women and men cannot eat at the same table. β
"We women depend on our father, brother, husband and son for everything, if I didn't have a boy in the family, my father wouldn't have taken me out to do business, and I wouldn't have been favored by the princess to accompany you."
Before Li Yuntong could speak, Dong Qing on the side exclaimed, "The concubine can also give away at will?" Wouldn't that not even the dowry be his own? β
Bu Chi shook his head, and there was a sad look on his thin face that did not match his age, "After marriage, the dowry belongs to the man, and the woman has no right to dispose of it." In Tibet, people are divided into upper, middle and lower classes, and each class is divided into upper, middle and lower levels. Persons of higher rank, such as princes and gusins (equivalent to national teachers or Dharma kings), have a life price equal to their body of gold; And the inferior ones such as women, butchers, hunters, craftsmen, etc., have only one straw rope for their lives......"
There was a kind of pathos in her voice, "I only learned from selling goods with my father, it's better for you to be in the Tang Dynasty, women can go out in men's clothes, they can do business, and they can stand on their own." In our Tibet, even if it is a wife, the man will give it away if he wants to, and sell it if he wants to. Remarriage and remarriage must be decided by the man in the family, women are like goods, although noble women look noble, but only for the next, leaving men, women have no power. β
Dong Qing said sympathetically: "It's really pitiful, in our Tang Dynasty, although marriage is also the words of parents and matchmakers, but it is good to combine the two surnames, and parents will ask their children more or less what they mean." Even private marriages without matchmaking and independent marriages without parental respect will be recognized by the government. The dowry belongs to the woman herself, the man has no right to intervene, he can reconcile and divorce, and the widowed woman can remarry or remarry according to her own wishes as long as the conditions are met. β
She clenched her fists, "I must marry someone from the Tang Dynasty in the future, you Tubo is too terrible......"
"Dongqingβ" Qiu Feng reminded her in disgust.
Dong Qing glanced at Li Yuntong, who was contemplative, and knelt on the ground in fear, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the slave said casually, please don't take it to heart." β
Bu Chi also hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, the life of a noble woman is still very leisurely, when the daughter of a big noble family marries into an ordinary noble family, the title can remain the same, the servants are respectful to the hostess, dare not be lazy, you are a noble princess from the Tang Dynasty, no one dares to despise you." β
"What happened in the Tibetan camp before is not to be taken lightly, am I?" Li Yuntong smiled sarcastically, "Actually, it's just fifty steps and a hundred steps, in Datang, isn't a woman's honor and disgrace tied to her father, brother, and husband?" Even if his wife and daughter are not favored, they are also neglected...... The attitude of Deputy Gong Dun towards me, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of you Zampu, but I have come here by relying on it, and I can't retreat even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. β
Bu Chi hurriedly distinguished, "No, princess, you have always respected you, and what he did was what Zampu meant." I heard that Vice Minister Gongdun and some nobles in the royal court are opposed to courting the Tang Dynasty, so they will use this method to make you and Zampu have a dislike before they meet, you must not fall for them. β
"Hmm." Li Yuntong nodded, "If you listen to it, you will listen to it darkly, and it will be clear if you listen to it, and it is not unreasonable for you to say this." Anyway, you've come here, and you have to take a look to know how your Zampu is. β
"My family Zampu has received a good education since childhood, refined his martial arts, and is admired by everyone." glanced at Li Yuntong, for fear that Bu Chi, who would frighten her because of what she had just said, hurriedly said good things.
She described Songtsen Gampo as "majestic as a wild yak, as calm and resolute as a snow leopard, as sharp as an eagle, and as enchanting as a horse...... According to the words of your Han people, Zampu is the spirit of heaven and earth, rich and handsome, and many of our girls there want to drill his tent. β
Li Yuntong laughed, "Have you ever seen Zampu?" β
Bu Chi shook her head embarrassedly, and then she said eagerly: "But we Tubo people say so, Zampu is like the sun on the snowy plateau, bright and dazzling, illuminating the earth. β
"Hearing you say that, I want to see him soon, to see if he is as good as you say." Li Yuntong laughed playfully.
"Anyway, in the past, I was also trapped in a small courtyard, this time I was able to walk through thousands of mountains and rivers with his relatives in Tibet, which is much stronger than before, since Zampu can have the foresight to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, he must not be a fool who thinks that women's words cannot be heard. You don't have to worry about me, although fate has long been predestined, but for now, it is not bad. β
As she spoke, she looked at the rice paper on the top bunk of the small table with a smile, "Come, Buchi, you just said a word casually like they did just now, and I will help you see it." β
Bu Chi shook his head blankly, "But I don't know how to read!" β
"It's okay, you don't need to write, just say what you think."
Bu Chi touched his head embarrassedly, "Then test my name?" buγ I don't know how to write it. β
Li Yuntong wrote a "cloth" on rice paper and chuckled: "The cloth is Kun, which means that you are a woman." β
Everyone laughed.
Although Bu Chi has a dark brown complexion, it is smooth and delicate, although it is not fat, but it looks like the body is also healthy and strong, full of elasticity, and the eyes with single eyelids are bright and clear, although it is not called a beauty, but it looks like a woman.
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Princess, don't tease her, let's talk about something else." β
Chuncao also said: "The princess is taking revenge on Buchi, who told her to say so many scary things about Tubo just now." β
Li Yuntong ignored their ridicule and continued: "It is said in the Book of Poetry that your family should be engaged in the silk business. β
"Huh?" Bu Chi asked in surprise, "How does the princess know?" My family first sold the silk of the Tang Dynasty to Tibet, and now although they also make some tea and porcelain, they still mainly use silk. β
Li Yuntong smiled, didn't explain, pointed to the ink on the cloth and said: "The woman has more than cloth, you will recruit a son-in-law in the future to inherit your father's family business." β
"Really?" Bu Chi's eyes were sparkling and he said, "It would be great if that was the case, marrying into someone else's family and serving your in-laws is better than being at ease at home." β
Thinking of those things at home, the light in her eyes dimmed a little, "But my family is only a merchant, but it is slightly higher than a craftsman, according to the law, you can't recruit a son-in-law to come to the door." Before they came out, my two uncles clamored to give one of their sons to my father......"
Li Yuntong nodded affirmatively, "Shang Zhu is exempt from favoritism, and the meritorious service is distributed, because your family has obtained good things from the Chamber of Commerce and avoided some disasters, and those are all because you have made meritorious contributions and received shelter." Yangchun Budeze, the thing that made you meritorious should happen in the spring. β
Bu Chi heard it in a fog, and only knew that Li Yuntong was saying good things, and thanked him again and again.
Xia Yu laughed with her, "I can't see that Buchi is also a person who will make contributions in the future, we have to take care of you, and you will be rich in the future, don't forget us." β
Bu Chi blushed, "Sisters, don't laugh, you are all people around the princess, which one is not better than me." What wealth can I have? It's just a business at home, and it's just a little money. β
Qiu Feng, who had been silent, said: "From the day I appreciated you and sent you to Her Royal Highness the Princess, you are no longer an ordinary merchant woman, you teach the princess well, teach us to speak the Tibetan language, and you will come from the wealth of you." β
Buchi's eyes widened, "Can you still count it like that?" β
Chuncao hugged her stomach and smiled, "Otherwise, how do you think the word test came about?" Her Royal Highness the Princess once said that the word test book is a half-truth game, and I think that even if Her Royal Highness the Princess does not test this word for you, as long as you know that you are waiting by her side, you will say something nice.
Li Yuntong said seriously: "On the shadow cloth stone, the shadow and the person are one, you should marry two men in the future, and these two men still marry you at the same time, their life history or name, maybe the residence should be related to the stone...... Okay, this cloth word has been measured, and if it is accurate, you will always be able to look at it in the future. At that time, remember to pay me the hexagram money. β
Now, it was Chuncao's turn to stare at her, and the outspoken Dongqing asked directly, "One wife and two husbands?" Princess, you're not kidding, are you? That's going to sink into the pond. β
