Jiang Yuqing intersected his hands and ten fingers, and compared a cross: "Ten taels of silver." ”

The little girl's plateau red face seemed to be a little embarrassed, and her rough hands dug through the shabby robe, and took out three copper plates, spread them in the palm of her hand, and her face was full of disappointment.

Jiang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and then understood. The little girl mistook her for ten copper plates. Even then, she didn't have enough money.

Jiang Yuqing couldn't bear the little girl's disappointment, so he asked her, "Do you like it very much?" ”

The little girl nodded, and spoke a long passage in Tubo, her eyes staring at the necklace with great longing.

The stall owner selling wooden bowls next to him acted as an interpreter in a stiff Daxia dialect: "She wants to buy it and give it to her sister." ”

"Sister?" Jiang Yuqing smiled and asked the little girl, why do you want to give a gift to your sister? The owner of the wooden bowl stall acted as a translator.

In a few days, she said, it was her sister's birthday.

Her sister had worked very hard to raise her alone, and she had never worn jewelry, and she wanted to buy it as a gift for her sister. ”

Jiang Yuqing was moved by this cute and simple little girl, and immediately picked up the beautiful pearl necklace.

Together with the matching earrings and bracelets, they were put into a very delicate and beautiful wooden box, and solemnly handed to the little girl: "Now they belong to you!" ”

The stall owner didn't expect Jiang Yuqing to be so generous, and after being stunned for a while, he translated for the little girl.

When the little girl heard this, she burst into the brightest smile in the world, as beautiful as the Gesang flowers on this plateau.

She solemnly put the three copper plates into Jiang Yuqing's palm, took the box and ran away happily.

The stall owner looked at the little girl who ran away, and said in his heart that this lady is really rich and kind, and she said that she would give it away.

In order to thank him for his help, Jiang Yuqing selected a number of very distinctive wooden bowls from his stall and kept them for his own use, or gave them away when he went back.

The stall owner didn't expect such an unexpected joy, he was overjoyed, and thanked her again and again.

After buying the bowl, Jing Yan and the others also came back, Jiang Yuqing packed up the few remaining things, and went back to the county government with his son.

Dr. Qiu bought a large bag of cordyceps sinensis, planning to use it for daily soaking in water or stewing soup.

It is said that it is cheap to buy here and transported to the capital of Daxia, which is more than ten times.

When it was almost noon, the official came to report that a pair of sisters from the Tibetan tribe had come to Jiang Yuqing outside. She felt strange that she didn't seem to have any female friends she knew here.

Even so, she asked the official to invite the two in.

When the sisters walked in, Jiang Yuqing looked at it and suddenly realized. It turned out that the little sister of the pair was the one who bought her pearl necklace with three copper plates.

When the sisters came in, they made a big salute.

My sister carefully took out the thick box from her arms and gently placed it on the table in front of Jiang Yuqing.

"This is too expensive for me to accept. My sister is not sensible, and I apologize to you on her behalf. "I speak Daxia dialect, and I am quite fluent.

Jiang Yuqing raised her eyebrows in some surprise and stuffed the box back into her hand: "My rules here, once the goods are sold, they will not be returned or exchanged without quality problems." ”

My sister was anxious and said, "But it's too valuable!" ”

Jiang Yuqing nodded: "It is indeed very valuable, because your sister has already paid the most expensive price in the world." ”

"The most expensive price...... How can it be? ”

"Yes. Your friendship with your sister, your sister's friendship with you, this kind of family affection is great.

And family affection is priceless. So, it's yours now. ”

The girl did not expect such an answer.

He took his sister's hand and saluted her again. Jiang Yuqing asked her again: "Your Daxia dialect is very good, have you studied it before?" ”

The girl shook her head: "No, I used to be the princess's maid. ”

"Which princess?"

"It's Princess Mingyang who kissed us in Tibet before Great Xia."

Now everyone was surprised that this girl was still the old friend.

"Then how did you end up in such a situation?"

The girl smiled bitterly: "Back then, Mu Ru launched a rebellion, killed the original dry cloth, and put the princess under house arrest. We are all reduced to hard labor.

I secretly helped the princess deliver a message, and was discovered by Mu Ru's people. They beat me up, thought I was dead, and threw me out into the wild to feed the vultures.

It was the teacher who was passing by who found me alive and saved me. After my wounds were healed, I did not dare to show my face again in the royal court, so I returned to my hometown, which is Rio's fault.

I found my only sister in my hometown, and I have lived in my hometown ever since.

We inherited three yaks from our elders, more than a dozen sheep, and planted some barley, barely enough for us to live.

But just last autumn, the peacocks on the other side of the mountain, they invaded our territory, seized our cattle and sheep, and killed many of our fellow villagers.

My sister and I were the only ones who escaped and made it all the way here. ”

The girl said, her fists clenched, her eyes red with anger. "I want to go to the army and ask the generals to send troops, kill those bastards, and take back the land and cattle and sheep that belong to us."

Jiang Yuqing and Jing Yan glanced at each other, and both sides had cold eyes.

Tubo is now the territory of Great Xia, and the people of the Peacock Kingdom dare to run to the territory of Great Xia.

"Why do you have to find a general, you can also find an official mansion?"

"Is that okay? In the past, only Ganbu and the general could transfer troops in the royal court. ”

Jiang Yuqing told her: "Now if you have a grievance, you can tell the people in the government, and they will report it according to the specific circumstances of the matter."

So there is no need to travel thousands of miles to find the army. ”

"That's great. Madam, do you recognize the prefectural commander? ”

Jiang Yuqing nodded, pointed to Jiang Yuming, who was sitting on the other side, and said, "That is the county commander." But you're right to tell me, I'm older than him! ”

"Thanks, that's great."

Jiang Yuqing asked her again, "Where do you live now?" And what do you live on? ”

The girl said: "I live in an abandoned empty house in the west of the city.

Every day, I went to the homes of the rich men and helped them do laundry and do menial work, or herd yaks and sheep to earn some money to support myself and my sister. ”

Jiang Yuqing pondered for a moment, and then asked Jiang Yuming: "Fifth brother, do you still need people in the house?" ”

Jiang Yuming knew what his sister meant, and said, "I want it." We still lack a helper who can speak Daxia and Phobia, would you like to come? ”

The girl's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? I do. Is it just that I can take my sister with me? ”

Jiang Yuming nodded, of course you can: "Don't live in your original place, two girls, it's not safe to live there."

Move to the county office, and I'll have someone arrange a room for you. ”

The girl was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately pulled her sister to kneel down and kowtow.

This pair of sisters of the Tibetan tribe, the elder sister is called Zhuoma, and the younger sister is called Mei Duo.

Then Jiang Yuqing and Jing Yan carefully asked her about the situation on the border side of her hometown, and they had a rough idea in their hearts.

Before leaving, Zhuoma asked Jiang Yuqing: "Dear madam." Do you know how the princess is doing after returning to the capital? ”

Jiang Yuqing nodded and said with a smile: "She is doing well." Married to a person who cherished her very much, and gave birth to a very lovely daughter. ”

Dolma immediately smiled: "That's great! The princess is a very gentle and kind person, very nice to everyone.

She was as bright as the sun in the sky. It's a pity that Zambu doesn't pamper her much.

But it's all gone, and I'm happy that I know she's doing well now. I will pray to the holy mountain for the gods to bless her and be well forever.

If you are able to meet her, please say hello to the princess! Dolma will always be her most loyal maid! ”

"Thank you, Dolma. I think she'll receive this blessing! ”

After the sisters left, Jing Yanqu knocked his fingers on the table, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked upward, and the evil smile that seemed to be there made people's scalps numb.

"The male peacock is too flamboyant, and it makes people annoyed to watch. It's better to pluck the hair and put it on the grill to get fragrant. Qingqing, what do you think? ”

Jiang Yuqing thought so.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhuoma and Mei Duo moved to the county office. Jiang Yuqing also wrote a letter to Princess Mingyang in the capital, telling him about Zhuoma.

She knows Mingyang. As Dolma said, Mingyang is a woman who attaches great importance to friendship. If she knew that Dolma was still alive, she would be happy.

Besides, the two sisters, Zhuoma and Meiduo, are very kind girls, and she also wants to help them.

After a few months on the run, the clothes on the sisters' bodies were already rotten.

Jiang Yuqing immediately took the silver, asked Zhuoma to go to the leather store, and bought materials for the two sisters to make clothes to wear. Dolma kowtowed to her gratefully again.

Jiang Yuqing asked Zhuoma if she could draw the rough and natural landform of her hometown.

Great Xia's army may be dispatched to drive these flower-tailed peacocks back to their hometowns.

When Dolma heard this, he was immediately excited and said that he could lead the way.

Jiang Yuqing thanked her and said that it would be the best. But it's also important to have a map in advance. I took charcoal and paper and asked her to draw.

Dolma was not ambiguous at all, and drew with a pen.

Although she doesn't know a single big character, her talent for drawing is innate.

Moreover, almost all the mountains and rivers of Nacuo are engraved in her mind, so the painting is not ambiguous at all.

It was only a quarter of an hour before it was announced.

Jiang Yuqing looked at this map that didn't look like a map, and gave a thumbs up and praised Zhuoma. Dolma smiled shyly.

After getting the map, Jing Yan immediately wrote a letter to the capital and the Emperor Taishang to explain the situation here.

On the one hand, he sent a message to the nearest wealthy state capital, and ordered the prefect to quickly mobilize grain and grass into Tibet and send it to Lia.

At the same time, he ordered to garrison the Tibetan camp about 700 miles from here, so that they could prepare enough food and grass to assemble here.

He didn't want to fight, but some people insisted on finding the dead Shang Daxia's territory to jump around, disgusting people.

If that's the case, then simply stay and don't go back.
