"I've also been to a lot of noble palaces and manors, and the security on your side is really ...... Peculiar. Watching Guo Kang dismiss the soldiers, Jeanna sighed with emotion: "What are they doing with ropes if they don't hold weapons?" ”

"Hey, the soldiers are used to paddling, so there's no way." Guo Kang said helplessly: "Usually, it is the righteous father himself who beats the thieves and assassins or something, and then the soldiers come in and tie people up and carry them away. Over time, the security capacity has deteriorated......"

"Okay......" Jeanne stopped talking, turning to Meltem and asking, "You too, why did you suddenly call the guards as an assassin?" Scared my ......"

"I'm not an Assassin now." "Why can't you call the guards in your own house. ”

"Who admits that this is your family? Don't be so self-cooked. Theodora was immediately displeased.

"Alright, alright." Jeanne couldn't stand the argument between the two: "If you are competing for favor, you can fight secretly, don't make trouble here." ”

"The noblewomen of France don't fight directly in front of the king, do they? And the Romans. I've been to the courts of several countries, and I've never seen anything like this......"

After being reprimanded by her, both Theodora and Meltem fell silent.

"By the way, boy, I saw your guard, what is that step, delivering a letter over there." She turned around and said to Guo Kang, "You and Zhu Wenkui, what have you been messing up recently?" ”

"Cannons, equipment, and the like." After Guo Kang answered, he asked curiously, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Strange, I see little Jeanne and he are arguing with him. What's going on with you? Jeanne looked a little confused: "What's so noisy about the cannon......"

Guo Kang didn't know what was going on, so he had to shake his head and tell her that he would ask when he got back.

"In addition, I will go back and ask Yang Wenxian to gather the guards, and you two will say hello to them." He said: "The situation on my side is messy enough, at least let them know which ones are acquaintances...... Well, even if you don't go through the front door. ”

"Then why don't you try to put the guards in order?" Jeanne proposed, "I don't have anything else to do at this time, so I can help you reorganize the patrol and guard arrangements." ”

"It's very simple to rectify the guards, the main thing is that you can't rectify the guests." Guo Kang complained: "My father-in-law guarded Dadu before and met a large group of ranger friends. For some reason, these heroes like to be different, and they all can not go to the main door without going to the main door. ”

"The stepmother herself usually walks through the main gate, but she seems to often fight with other women, and often does not go through the gate at night. Those heroines didn't know whether they were friends or foes, and when they caught them, they were worried that their father-in-law would not be able to hold up their face, so they all ignored and pulled them down. ”

"Well, then there's not much I can do." Jeanne had no choice but to shrug her shoulders: "Then I'll go find that Yang and get acquainted with it later." ”

"Well, the heroines who came here to fight, they all know each other. And then I won't care about you. Guo Kang told her.

Jeanne had a strange expression, but nodded.

"But I think it's a European, how did you come up with that name?" She asked casually.

"He's a Bolgar." Guo Kang said: "Bu's, Yang's, and Lu's are all the surnames of the Bolgar people on our side. Many of the soldiers we recruited in the Bulgarian region took such surnames. ”

"Oh, the popular Han surname, isn't it?" Jeanne nodded knowingly.

"It's not a Han surname......" Guo Kang thought for a while and said: "Many ordinary people here don't have serious surnames. Even some wealthy citizens, the so-called surname, that is, the name of the profession, the name of the village or even the nickname, cannot be elegant. Therefore, when recording household registration, soldiers often take the Han surname directly as their original surname. ”

"Yang Wenxian's religious name is Konstantin, so his full name on the household registration is the surname Yang, the name Wenxian, and the Christian name Konstantin, which are composed of these three parts." Guo Kang gave an example.

"We don't call 'Konstantin' a 'European name' or a 'Bulgarian name', because there are also many in Greece and Asia Minor, which is obviously unscientific. This name was obtained at the time of baptism, and it is related to faith, so it is called 'Christian name'. ”

"As for the Bulgarian surname...... His father was a villager who was dying of starvation, and he survived when we helped him to provide relief, and he had no Bulgarian surname. ”

"That sounds right." Jeanne thought for a moment: "The surnames of the nobles are quite chaotic these days, and most of them just follow the fiefdom, right?" That's why it's called 'De What'. Civilians don't have fiefdoms, so it's really hard to tell the difference. ”

"But I'm curious, why did this step and Yang become surnames?"

"Because some people have researched and said that there is a bit of a relationship here." Guo Kang explained: "The Bulgars are different from the Greeks, they are really the same as us, they are clearly verifiable, from the East. ”

"Ancient historians have recorded that the Bolgars were a branch of the Huns. At the beginning, there was a country in the Western Regions, which the Seris people called 'Hujie', which was destroyed by the Xiongnu. Therefore, some people believe that Hujie is the main body of the Bolgars, the Ukidur department to which the Great Khan belongs. Later, these Zahu tribes, who were once dependent on the Xiongnu, set out from Moxi to Central Asia and migrated westward, so that this 'Huns' group was born. ”

Others did not move away. Some of them stayed in place to graze their cattle and became later servants. Others joined the Xianbei people and entered the Central Plains, giving rise to a large number of surnames such as Buliugu, Bulugu, Puliuru, and Bulugu. The descendants of these people, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, most of them have the surnames Bu, Lu, etc. ”

"At the beginning, these scholars thought that since their relatives who had been separated for many years used these surnames in the Central Plains, they could also use them."

Are these inferences true? It's all about being so far away. Jeanne couldn't hide her curiosity: "I ...... I don't read much, don't coax me. ”

"I think that except for the fact that it is certain that it is from the Oriental Grassland, there is a high probability that these other details are not true. There are too many places to be attached and far-fetched. Guo Kang said bluntly: "These are okay, but the Yang family is actually even tougher." ”

"Yang Jian, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was asked to change his surname to Xianbei when he was an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, called 'Puliuru', and later he replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and changed it back. These Bulgarians felt that his change from Puliuru to Yang seemed to have something to do with it. And he seems to have a relationship with Pu Liuru, so he also has a relationship with the Yang family......"

"That's forcibly clinging." Theodora said.

"That's right. But clinging to it. Guo Kang didn't care too much: "Separated by half of the Eurasian continent, it is already fate to be able to attach such a point......
