Chapter 218: Prairie Gathering
In the evening, the desert.
It's the height of summer, but because of the huge temperature difference between day and night in the desert, you have to wear thicker clothes when you go out at night.
Today, in the desert, the Northwest Army has established a huge herdsman county and town, with a total of more than 80,000 residents.
And because of the experience of these 80,000 people, many herder tribes have chosen to relocate here from the grassland.
Because the control of the Northwest Army is very strict, as long as the herdsmen and tribes who relocate here are in peace, there has never been any deviant behavior.
Even those who did not relocate here actually received the benefits of the Northwest Army, and there was a natural spring ten miles west of Huma Pass, where the Northwest Army had established a stronghold more than half a year earlier, creating a huge desert bazaar.
Tonight is a very important festival in the grasslands, where the tribes of the grasslands are going to hold a rally.
This gathering may be nothing to others, but it is extremely important to Chu Yujia.
Because the main content of this meeting is basically to discuss how the herdsmen get along with Ye Guo.
In fact, even some big tribes are discussing whether they should be included in the lineup of Ye Guo like Ayi and their small tribes.
Outside the desert bazaar, you can see a lot of cow hair tents.
These tents are made by herders from the grasslands, who come here to attend rallies and, of course, to buy daily necessities at the market or to sell things that are not needed.
Since it is a celebration, there will definitely be no shortage of people, and merchants will naturally not miss it, so the market is particularly lively.
Chu Yujia and Gong Limo were dressed in casual clothes and walked into the bazaar together with the beautifully dressed Yao'er.
Gong Limo hadn't been so relaxed and happy for a long time, and he looked back at Chu Yujia who was holding Yao'er behind him, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
Her smile was very special, at least in Chu Yujia's eyes.
It's the kind of smile that makes you forget your tiredness at a glance......
Chu Yujia couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen Gong Limo smile like this, it seemed that she had never laughed like this since her accident.
Gong Limo, the eldest daughter of the prime minister, the daughter of the eldest princess, and the lord of the court.
Growing up with a golden spoon in his mouth, he was loved by thousands of people.
Longing for freedom, yearning for your own love, having someone who loves you and loves yourself.
In the end, she also thinks that she is married to love, married to a man she loves and loves herself.
Later, he had a love crystallization with this man, but his family became a victim of politics, and the two almost fell apart.
This man has such a magic power, as long as he is by his side, he will feel extremely relieved, and he will have a fulfilling sense of security with him.
It seems that he is there, and the sky falls, so there is no need to be afraid.
Because he's ......
She also began to understand what this man was doing.
All he wants to do is be a good husband and a good father.
But he had no choice but to be a good courtier, a good brother.
Because he can't do it well, his daughter and wife will have to suffer, and they will have to suffer with him......
In front of a food stall, Yao'er couldn't walk.
Looking at the mung bean cake on the stall, things like red bean cake and osmanthus cake were straight.
Chu Yujia knew that this little gluttonous cat's gluttonous worm must have been hooked, and asked the boss with a smile, "How much?"
The peddler was a smiling man, and said with a smile: "Twenty big sons for one catty." ”
Twenty eldest sons are twenty dollars.
Chu Yujia took off the money pocket from his waist and casually took out the broken silver from it and threw it to the vendor, saying, "Hold two catties." ”
The peddler took the money, weighed it, and then made a mistake.
The peddler looked at Chu Yujia with an embarrassed face, and said, "Guest officer, I just came out of the stall, and I can't find it......"
"No need to look for it. ”
Chu Yujia glanced at Gong Limo, then glanced at the little man in his arms, and said, "Just pretend to be some, and the rest will be treated as a reward for you." ”
When he heard this, the peddler was very pleased, and after agreeing, he beckoned his mother-in-law to get busy with him.
There were more than a dozen large and small packages, Xiao Yao'er walked in front like a little adult, while Chu Yujia walked behind with Gong Limo holding the box.
Gong Limo glanced at Chu Yujia, his voice was a little complaining, and said, "Did you buy too much?"
"Is it much?"
Chu Yujia smiled lightly and said, "I still remember that once upon a time, someone told me that I had to borrow money to buy snacks for my daughter, and I was embarrassed to leave home." ”
As soon as he heard this, Gong Limo's face immediately became a little embarrassed.
for this is what she said......
bumped Chu Yujia on the shoulder, and complained, "Why do you remember this kind of thing so clearly?"
"I still remember a lot of things. ”
Chu Yujia looked up and smiled, and then his expression became serious, and said, "I still remember the first time we met, you were wearing a long crimson dress......
"Do you remember this so clearly?"
"Of course. ”
Gong Limo glanced at Chu Yujia deeply, although he didn't say anything, he also felt very moved in his heart......
When the family of three reached the end of the market, the sky gradually darkened.
The merchants in the bazaar lit their oil lamps, and the hawkers could be heard all over the streets.
At the end of the walk, you can see a number of makeshift tents, which are where the herders live temporarily.
As far as the eye can see, the rows of tents are connected, and you can see the little light lit up in the tents.
There were many pedestrians between the tents, and many vendors who did not grab the stalls were selling their goods between the tents with pallets.
The aisle between the tents was crowded, and Chu Yujia did not expect that this so-called gathering would attract so many herdsmen to participate.
The celebration is not only for the nomads of the grasslands, but also for many Ye people and even Gumo people.
Of course, these situations were not there before.
After Chu Yujia returned from the grassland, he began to emphasize that the Yeguo grassland was a family, which made the Ye people's attitude towards the grassland herdsmen change a lot.
As for the people of Gumo, it is completely driven by interests, knowing that now that Ye intends to open the border, the businessmen also want to come over to get a piece of the pie.
Gong Limo and Yao'er both came out with Chu Yujia rarely, and they felt fresh when they saw everything.
Later, Chu Yujia had to call out the Black Guard Battalion personnel who were hiding in the shadows to help him move things.
By the end of the street, the Black Guards were filled with all sorts of sweets and pastries.
Although the workmanship of these things is not as exquisite as that made in the Hou Mansion, these two girls don't care about them, and they feel delicious about what they eat.
Chu Yujia didn't like to eat these things, but seeing that this girl could be so happy, he also had an indescribable sense of happiness.
Seeing Gong Limo, a girl who is already the mother of two children, there are snack residues on her mouth when she eats, and he will always wipe them off carefully.
By the way, I will say: "You girl, you are the mother of two children, and you don't pay attention to it." ”
Seeing her father and mother like this, what else can Xiao Yao'er say?
I can only turn my head and not look at it, and by the way, I will pounce on Qi Chong's body, and pouted dissatisfied: "I really coaxed my mother, so I threw away my daughter." ”
Hearing this, Qi Chong could only smile helplessly.
I can't help but sigh, this is the real unpretentious happiness......
