Chapter 80: The Gentleman
"You ...... What's the matter? Guo Kang was trying to pull a rack, and a woman's voice came from the side.
"I ...... Help me pull away...... This disrespectful female barbarian...... Ah......h
"I'm fine, they're but-" Before Guo Kang could finish speaking, he was inadvertently kicked in the leg by Jeanna: "What are you kicking me for?!" ”
He turned his head to look and found Li Anning leading the horse and standing beside him. It seems to be about to go back from the end of the track, just passing by.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it." Guo Kang hurriedly shouted to her: "Come and pull the rack!" Let's pull the rack! ”
Although Zhu Wenkui is an elder brother, he seems to have not exercised enough, and he was actually pressed and beaten by Jeanna. Guo Kang couldn't persuade him, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to start directly, so he hurriedly called this girl to help.
But fortunately, Li Anning didn't seem to be the first time to persuade her, so she immediately came behind Jeanne, locked her arm, and began to pull back. Guo Kang also hurriedly grabbed Zhu Wenkui and dragged him while persuading.
"Humph!" In the midst of the chaos, Nurhachi ran over and tried to arch the two apart.
After a lot of effort, everyone finally separated the brother and sister. Jeanne looked fine, but Zhu Wenkui was especially embarrassed, and her hat was all taken off.
Seeing Jeanne being dragged away, he hurriedly picked up his hat while chanting the famous saying "A gentleman dies, the crown is inevitable". said that he didn't want to fight, but for the sake of gentlemanly etiquette, and he didn't bother with her for the time being.
Guo Kang felt that it was understandable that he couldn't beat his uncle, but it was indeed a bit unreasonable to beat his sister. But Zhu Wenkui is already miserable enough, and he can't say anything more.
"Alright, alright." Li Anning was also confused, so he had to reassure everyone first: "How old are you, why are you still fighting like a child." ”
"Well, I don't even know what's going on." Guo Kang shook his head and said, "How did you fight, this is ......?"
He patted the hem of his clothes, and wanted to mutter, but Li Anning gave him a look. Guo Kang thought about it, and it was indeed better not to say it.
After all, the most important thing is to calm down the emotions first. If you want to investigate the reason for the fight, it is estimated that the two sides will have to quarrel again, and I am afraid that Nurhachi will not be able to pull apart at that time.
"These two are the princes and county lords of His Royal Highness King Wu, you should have heard of them before." As he spoke, he introduced Zhu Wenkui again: "Shizi, this is the girl Li I just mentioned." ”
Then, he looked at Zhu Wenkui and waited for his reaction.
Sure enough, Zhu Wenkui couldn't save face, and he didn't have the heart to care about Jeanna's side. He quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and arched his hand at her: "I'm really sorry, my sister is stubborn, and I can't discipline it, so I can make the girl laugh." ”
Guo Kang turned his head to stare at Jeanne again, and after a while, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to stand up and say hello to Li Anning. However, looking at her expression, it seems that she is quite reluctant.
"My name is Zhu Youzhen, I believe in Roman Catholicism, just call my Christian name Jeanne." She said: "I heard Guo Gongzi say, my sister also has a religious name? ”
"Yes, please call me Anastasia." Li Anning said: "I have always used this name in my hometown. ”
"It's a name of Greek origin, but it's the most common in the Rus' region." Guo Kang helped her explain: "It's probably the meaning of Brother Tian's resurrection." ”
"I believe in Nestorianism." Li Anning smiled and said, "Miss Jeanna won't think I'm a heretic, right?" ”
"You are heretical in the Purple Horde......" Jeanne said with a laugh and a smile, "If you believed in the orthodox Eastern Assyrian Church, you might have thought you were a heretic. But in today's capital, you should be the group of people with the purest faith. ”
"I've heard your siblings mentioned in my family before. Was Miss Jeanne baptized in her mother's faith? Li Anning asked.
"Yes. My mother was a member of the French royal family, at the heart of the Catholic world, and was naturally very religious. Jeanne replied.
"It's so devout that you can't do without the Pope of Rome, you invite people as guests every day, and you don't let people go, right?" Zhu Wenkui whispered.
Guo Kang hurriedly asked him not to dismantle the stage again, so as not to quarrel again.
"On the side of the Shinra, there is no shortage of Shangluo...... Oh, 'Shangluo', do you want to talk to the Pope? He advised: "In these years, those who have not arrested the Pope are embarrassed to say that they are a big European country. ”
"I heard Brother Kang say, your Han surname is Li?" Over there, Jeanne ignored them, but continued the topic, and deliberately chose a title that sounded very close, and pulled Guo Kang in: "Which family is this Li family?" Are you also a relative of Li Xuanying's family? ”
"Not really. Strictly speaking, it's just clinging. Li Anning didn't care about the thorn in her words, and still replied with a smile.
"My ancestors were nobles from the Kereb tribe. The Kereh were not a single tribe, but rather an alliance of the remnants of the Uighur and the Murwei tribes that had migrated westward after the dissolution of the Uighur Khanate. ”
"My distant ancestor is said to have been a member of the Uighur Khanate, and the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty intermarried many times. Therefore, when the surname Han was later called, the surname Li was also chosen. ”
"It's a bit far." Jeanne also smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the Yelu clan and the Liu clan should not have any blood relatives. But everyone seems to like to find a relationship with Liu's and Li's, no matter how much they go around. ”
Considering Li Anning's paternal line, the Han surname is Li; Matrilineal, the Han surname is Liu. Guo Kang always felt that Jeanna was smiling a little ill-willed.
However, he hadn't said anything yet, and Zhu Wenkui couldn't stand it first.
"I'm afraid my sister is not stupid. Isn't that nonsense? He whispered to Guo Kang again: "The Central Plains Dynasty is the most famous with such surnames." If you don't have the surnames Liu and Li, do you follow the official family and go to the surname Zhao? ”
“…… There is also Zhao Liang's kind. Well, it's possible that he really wasn't clinging. Guo Kang couldn't figure it out, he always felt very suspicious, so he could only say it for the time being.
"Do you want to practice riding and archery here?" Li Anning looked at the two of them alike, glanced at Jeanne again, and asked.
"I might be able to try." Zhu Wenkui said: "However, my sister probably won't. ”
"Oh?" Li Anning was a little surprised: "Miss Jeanna hasn't learned archery?" ”
"I don't like archery." Jeanne hurriedly said, "I don't think that's what I should do. ”
"But even the Roman Catholic Church does not prohibit archery." Li Anning pointed out: "I remember that the infantry of England also had a large number of archers. ”
Why is Jeanne so resistant, has she encountered something that has caused her to have a psychological shadow? Guo Kang thought for a moment, and his gaze inadvertently swept in front of Jeanne.
Although not very old, it may be due to her mother's bloodline, Jeanne grew up quickly - this is also multifaceted.
And looking at Li Anning again, I saw that her upper body was open, and it was no wonder that Zhu Wenkui saw a certain son at first sight.
Guo Kang suddenly felt that he couldn't blame her.
