"Adults, you can call me Xiaoying. This is... the nickname my mother gave me..."
The little beauty presented by the Huaguna tribe talked about her mother with a sad look on her face, and said quietly: "My mother was originally from the Uighur tribe. She went into business with my grandfather and stayed there after arriving in Daning.
She settled down and never returned to her hometown. She lived in the Han territory for a long time, so she gave me this name."
Xia Xun was about to ask her next sentence, how could a small tribe that wandered the grassland and had little contact with other forces, and Xiaoying herself was not the daughter of the clan leader, receive such a good education, and still speak fluent Chinese?
, after hearing this sentence, there is no need to ask.
He looked carefully and saw that this little Sakura girl had braided hair and a spotless white robe. Her temperament was like the bright moon on the grassland on an autumn night, shining brightly and flawlessly in the sky. She was indeed a stunning beauty in the world. Then Amul said that she
It is a lark on the grassland, the most beautiful flower of the Huaguna tribe. It is not a self-praise. The beauty of this mixed-race girl is indeed beautiful, not to mention the Huaguna tribe, even if it is considered in the entire Huaguna tribe.
Going up to the prairie, she is also a first-rate beauty.
Fortunately, the tribes on the grassland live like wolves. Each tribe has its own sphere of influence and will not easily cross the border to contact other tribes. The herdsmen of each tribe have their own grazing range. The entire grassland is extremely wide.
, they spend far more time in contact with the world than with other people. Unlike the original city, which is extremely densely populated, a trivial matter in the East City will spread in the West City in the blink of an eye.
In addition, this tribe is very small. They do not dare to offend the large Tatar tribe, nor do they dare to invade the Han people in Liaodong. They can only wander around and herd, and have too little contact with others. The most beautiful girl in the tribe is just describing her beauty, not
Which tribe treats its most beautiful girl as a social butterfly and spends all day interacting with outsiders?
Otherwise, if such a beautiful figure as hers were seen by the powerful people on the grassland, they would have snatched her away or hired her away, put her in the tent, treated her like a treasure, and only played with her on the couch.
He refused to show himself to anyone.
"Miss Sakura, you should be resettled with your tribe members!"
Xia Xun said: "Although your tribe has almost ceased to exist, there are still surviving tribesmen. You can take care of each other. I will provide you with appropriate arrangements. Although your relatives are no longer around, you are so beautiful."
With your beautiful appearance, do you still worry about being helpless for the rest of your life? Being a maid here with me is not a clear choice."
Xiao Ying blinked, as if she didn't understand his intention. She glanced at Xia Xun carefully and timidly reminded: "A maid..., Sir, from the moment Xiao Sakura was presented to you, I am yours."
I'm here, Sakura..., not only can I serve tea and water, but I can also... I can also serve adults on the banquet..."
When she talked about it later, her voice was as thin as a mosquito fly, and two blushes quietly appeared on her face. Reflecting her snow-white face, it was as bright as the morning glow. She is of mixed race, her mother is Caucasian, and her skin color is naturally fairer.
In addition, her mother believes in Islam and loves cleanliness very much. She has to take a bath before church. She has also accepted her mother's habits since she was a child. Her living conditions are generous and she does not have to be exposed to the wind and sun all day long. Therefore, her shyness makes her face look brighter.
Like jade stained with red clouds, its love and color are so charming and charming that even though Xia Xun is used to seeing beautiful people, he can't help but feel a little moved.
Xia Xun coughed, shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, girl. According to me, you should settle with your clan. The governor came to Liaodong on an errand under the imperial decree. It would be unreasonable to have a lot of women around me."
If that's true, there will be officials who will impeach you. Haha, you don't know that officials are officials? They are officials who specialize in finding fault with others."
Sakura's charming eyes glanced at the pair of Rose beauties fanning behind Xia Xun, and said, "Please forgive me for being so bold, Sakura, why would you leave them by your side?"
Xia Xun turned around. Although Zilata and Sanapova didn't understand their conversation, they looked at Xiaoying with some wariness and hostility in their eyes, as if they were meeting a colleague who was trying to steal their jobs. Xia Xun couldn't help but feel a little funny.
, he touched his nose and replied: "They are different from you. They are a gift from a tribe chief in the Nurgan area to the governor. The envoy came from afar. If the governor does not accept them, it will inevitably make him suspicious.
But these two girls are Russians, they have no relatives or tribesmen in the area, and because they don’t understand the language, the governor couldn’t find a suitable place to place them.”
Sakura said: "Sir, they have no relatives, does Sakura still have relatives?"
As she spoke, her tears rolled down. She stepped forward, knelt down in front of Xia Xun, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiaoying's father has been killed by the enemy's soldiers! Xiaoying
...Originally, she was betrothed to the clan leader's son since she was a child, but he... also died under the sword of the enemy! Xiaoying is now alone..."
Speaking of enemies, Sakura suddenly clenched her fists, and her light blue eyes shone brightly. Her body was shaking with excitement. It took a long time before she slowly calmed down. She took a deep breath,
He lowered his head and said sadly: "But..., Xiaoying has no ability to take revenge! In order to survive, our surviving clansmen hid; in order to survive, my clansmen also thought about using me to exchange for everyone's safety. They wanted me
Dedicated to the great enemy of my entire clan!
We also thought about escaping to Nurgan and joining a larger tribe. After many twists and turns, we finally thought of Liaodong... Sir, you are the only one who dares to be an enemy of Arutai and defeat him! You are me
Your great benefactor, Sakura was given to you willingly. Even if... you just become a maid. If you want to drive Sakura away, do you think Sakura can be properly taken care of by the clan? "
She shook her head, smiled sadly, and said: "On the grassland, no one takes women seriously. The leaders of the tribe, the men of the tribe, they can kill people just to fight for a piece of grassland, or they can kill people just to humiliate others.
, but he would not start a war for a woman. That would be opposed by the whole clan and ridicule him for his incompetence!
A woman on the grassland is just like a lone sheep in the herd. Once a sheep is kidnapped by a pack of wolves, no one will risk losing more sheep for this one sheep. On the way here, I once saw
The general named Ding Yu, under the orders of the Lord, led three hundred warriors to pursue deep into the Horqin Grassland and rescued Lord Meng Ge’s mother and wife. But on our grassland, there would be nothing like this.
People, such human affairs..."
Xiaoying raised her head, bravely met Xia Xun's gaze, and said eagerly: "My relatives are no longer here. If you hand me back to my tribe, they will only give me as a gift to make friends with other forces."
Go out and give it to their leader. So, I can't think of a better ending than staying with the adults. Xiao Sakura would rather stay with the adults, please accept me!"
Xia Xun put his hands on the ground and touched his palms with his forehead. Xiao Ying, who was waiting quietly for his decision, was silent for a long time before sighing: "Oh! Get up. Just stay in the governor's office first, and stay with Rilata and Sa
Nabowa, let's do some chores together and wait until we have suitable arrangements later."
"Thank you, sir!"
Sakura bowed three times in joy and kowtowed her head hurriedly.
As she bent down and bowed down, her slender waist was about to break, and her round buttocks, with her seductive curves appearing and disappearing. Girls on the grassland always have larger buttocks. Her age
Although not big, her plump buttocks and slender waist reveal a shape as beautiful as a pear. Her pure and holy face coupled with such a hot body is very attractive to men.
Xia Xun waited for her, allowed her to finish bowing, and then called her up. As soon as Xia Xun's hand reached to the side, Xiao Ying, who had just stood up, had already walked to the table with quick hands and eyes, and held the tea cup in front of him with both hands, respectfully
He respectfully handed it to Xia Xun's mouth. Not to be outdone, Zilata hurriedly put down the fan and picked up the teapot, so that Xia Xun would fill it up as soon as she finished drinking.
Xia Xun was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly and said: "Actually... I want to eat grapes!"
Saying that he didn't want to wait for anyone anymore, he quickly grabbed one from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. It was still early for the grape harvest, and the grape varieties in Liaodong were average. As soon as he took the bite, Xia Xun's mouth grinned: "
It’s so damn sour…”
※※※※※※※※
In Qingyangbao, Xia Xun is inspecting the resettlement of the surviving people of the Huaguna tribe.
The people of the Huaguna tribe were dispersed by Xia Xun and settled in various forts affiliated with Kaiyuan. Qingyang Fort housed the largest number of herdsmen, more than thirty people. Only a small tribe of more than a hundred people remained, and they were completely
Having lost their livelihood and no herds of cattle, sheep and horses, it was not appropriate for them to continue grazing on the grassland, their ancestral property, so Xia Xun scattered them and became farmers.
The population composition of Qingyangbao is the same as elsewhere, with various ethnic groups living together. There are Jurchens and people who have lost their own tribes, as well as a small number of people and people from other ethnic minorities. Most of them are Han people. Except for the garrison here,
As well as the newly increased number of businessmen who are stationed here specifically to purchase Liaodong properties, guys, the rest are the prisoners who were originally exiled here.
There are a total of seven prisoners here, most of whom were officials implicated in the Kongyin case, the Lanyu case, and the Hu Weiyong case during the Hongwu Dynasty. It is said that one of them was originally the food supervisor of the Shandong Chief Envoy.
Counselor, from the fourth-grade official level, they are the largest officials who are exiled in this fort. When these officials were exiled, they came with their families.
At that time, a large family with a large population, plus some domestic slaves who had signed a contract of sale, all moved here. After 12 years of settlement and reproduction, this place was originally deserted, but now it has become a castle.
.
However, when Xia Xun inspected this castle with more than 300 households, he did not see anyone who looked like a son of an official or an elegant scholar. As a minister is an official, his family is naturally extraordinary and ordinary people can't compare, but once they are abandoned in the wilderness,
They have become nothing more than dust. They have only been around for twenty years and are no longer as good as the local natives.
Shi Wanshiyu, the shogunate who accompanied him, had actually heard of the counselor who was the governor of the grain road. It was said that the counselor and his chief were the same year. Wanshiyu also asked Xia Xun for instructions and rushed to visit the counselor's house.
At a glance, it was an ordinary Liaodong residential house. The old man was still alive. He was over seventy years old. He had white hair and was a little deaf. He was still agile and spoke like thunder.
He wore a short brown and green cloth robe with two lengths. After hearing about Wanshiyu's identity, he happily greeted him and pulled him to sit in the room. He quickly got on the kang with his legs turned and put on his shoes.
Without taking off his clothes, he brought over a large dustpan, which contained dried fruits such as pine nuts, hazelnuts, and jujubes. The old man chatted very happily with him, and he couldn't help but burst into tears when talking about the past.
Wan Shiyu watched as the uncle picked up a fried hazelnut, chewed it with his two front teeth for a long time without cracking it open, then put it on the kang, took off his shoes, slapped it hard with the sole of his shoe, then picked out the hazelnut and threw it away.
He chewed hard in his almost toothless mouth, and Wanshiyu almost burst into tears.
Does this still look like a fourth-rank official in the imperial court? Does this look like a two-ranked Jinshi who has read poetry and books? The old man himself is like this, let alone his children and grandchildren. If he hadn’t wisely surrendered to Duke Fu,
, probably if I survive another twenty years in Liaodong, this is the kind of virtue I think...
Alas! At that time, he was forced to go to see the Duke because of his wife and concubine, which made him lose face. He was very angry for a while. He hadn’t slept with them for a long time. He had been working hard for the past two days and planned to marry another Jurchen.
The eldest girl is back. The fate of this Shibo, his own woman is also for his own good. Forget it, let’s make peace when we go back today, and don’t bother with the Jurchen eldest girl anymore. I heard that their girl is very energetic.
, don’t mess around with my old arms and legs...
When Wan Shiyu was seriously reflecting at Shibo's house, Xia Xun had already arrived at the east end of the town. He was standing on a newly opened field. He looked around at the newly opened fields and asked the mayor happily: "All the land can be plowed."
Is it deep enough?”
After receiving a positive answer, Xia Xun said: "They are all shepherds and don't know much about farming. Please be more careful. These people are not prisoners and cannot be treated like ten-year tenants, but I won't treat them badly."
You, their cattle and grain are handled by the shogunate, and the acres of land are included in Qingyangbao. However, the shogunate will not pay taxes on the acres of land within five years, but you, Qingyangbao, still harvest it. In this way, the less their harvest, the equal to yours.
The less you pay, do you understand?"
The mayor had never seen such a big official before. He nodded and bowed, with a smile on his face. No matter what Xia Xun said, he nodded enthusiastically.
Xiaoying also came with her, because today she was inspecting the resettlement of her tribe members, so Xia Xun brought her with him. At this moment, she was standing behind Xia Xun. There was a two-pointed handle stuck on the field ridge behind Xia Xun.
The owner of Tiecha also stood next to Xia Xun. It seemed that he was closer to the official. Listening to him talk was a blessing.
Xiaoying's eyes wandered, first falling on Xia Xun's back, then on the iron fork, and then on Xia Xun's body.
Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and pulled out the sharp iron fork...
: Tomorrow is my fortieth birthday. It is said that at fifty you are called a public servant and at sixty you are called an old man. It has been six years since I wrote the book. It will only take ten more years to write the book. I will be Guan Gong by then! Wow, hahaha,
I just don’t know what it means to be forty years old. Who knows? Tell me! Please vote for your recommendation. Please vote for it as a birthday gift. My birthday is tomorrow, so today is my birthday, hohoho
