"Will the master want me to sleep with you tonight?"
Thinking of this, Xilin and Jeanne, good sisters who have been together for many years, looked at each other again in tacit understanding, and then...
"Jeanne's breasts are bigger than mine!"
"Ci Lin's butt is so round and round..."
"She has a sweet face, the master will probably like her more, right?"
"Her waist is so thin and her legs are so long. Will the master want her to sleep with her?"
"Oh, it's bad. I just got a little freckle on the tip of my nose. I need to apply some powder to cover it up soon, lest the owner doesn't like it!"
Two pairs of big blue eyes communicated silently for a moment, and suddenly found that the good sisters who depended on each other had become their biggest competitors.【】
"I have to dress up in a while and I must surpass her!"
The two girls said at the same time in their hearts, and then they puffed up their chests in unison.
However, Xia Xun didn't notice their overt and covert fight at all, and was still teasing Sai'er: "Haha, when Sai'er grows up and puts on her new wedding dress, she will be a very beautiful bride.
Come on, have I healed from my frostbite? Well, it’s almost gone. You are now thin and dark. When your godfather first came to you, your skin was so tender that water would ooze when he pinched it. It was like a porcelain doll. The frostbite was gone.
Take good care of yourself quickly. With your milky white skin, if you grow up and wear a white wedding dress, you will be as beautiful as a little fairy girl."
"Daddy is talking nonsense!"
Tang Saier lost her father when she was young, but now she has finally made up for it. Although she is ten years old, she is more clingy than a five or six-year-old girl. She jumped on Xia Xun's lap and hugged his neck affectionately, sweetly
He laughed: "All brides wear red clothes, how can anyone wear white clothes, and they are not wearing mourning."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Every place has different customs. In our place, you have to wear red clothes for weddings, but in the West, you wear a wedding dress when you get married. The wedding dress is what the bride wears, white
It's made of light gauze. It's as bright as the bright moon when worn on the body. It's very beautiful. Sai'er is so beautiful. If she has the opportunity to wear a pure white wedding dress, she will be like a fairy daughter descending to earth."
Celine and Jeanne looked at him resentfully.
Tang Saier said excitedly: "Is it true? Is there one here? I want to wear it!"
Xia Xun laughed and said: "You have to wear it now, but are you interested in the groom?"
Tang Sai'er pouted and said, "I just want to wear new clothes. Why do I have to find a groom? Why don't dad take my place?"
Xia Xun sweated profusely: "Don't talk nonsense! The little girl is ignorant, how can she be replaced casually?"
Tang Saier covered her mouth and started laughing. Only then did Xia Xun realize that she was teasing him on purpose, and couldn't help but slap her on the butt in anger.
On the side, Celine and Jeanne continued to look at him resentfully, looking at the "father and daughter" who were happy with them.
At this time, Lao Pang came in and reported to Xia Xun: "My lord, Huang Zhen, the imperial envoy, wants to see you!"
"Oh, Lao Huang is here!"
Xia Xun patted Sai'er on the back. Tang Sai'er straightened up and jumped off his lap. Xia Xun said, "Good boy, go play with Sister Xilin. My godfather has a guest!"
"Oh!" Tang Saier agreed obediently, walked over and held Xilin's hand, and said cheerfully: "Sister Xilin, I just saw that the plum blossoms in the yard are blooming so beautifully, let's go."
Although Sai'er is lively by nature, a big part of her relationship has been missing. When she was this age, Ming'er was still a cute little girl. She followed her sister and brother-in-law to Yanshan for hunting, wearing bunny clothes.
, it can be seen that she was naive and childish at that time, and Sai'er was much more mature than she was then. Now with Xia Xun's favor, Tang Sai'er has become more lively, and she is stubborn and likes to compete because of her inferiority complex.
Qiang Doucheng's character has improved a lot, and he is starting to look like girls of the same age, less cunning and more naive.
When Jeanna heard that Tang Sai'er was going to take Xilin to plum blossoms, she couldn't help laughing. She quickly applied oil on her soles and went back to dress up.
Outside, Huang Zhen was wearing a sheepskin coat, a dog-skin hat, and animal skins tied around his boots and trouser legs. He strode in like an old country farmer.
This old man was originally in poor health. When he was in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, he almost died of detoxification due to excessive sexual indulgence. However, since his career has taken on a new lease of life, his body and bones seem to be getting better as well, and they are actually getting better year by year.
Spirituality. He stayed in Liaodong for more than a year. Not only did he not get sick or suffer any disaster, but he was also very energetic. This time he arrived in the Western Regions and did not feel the cold and bitterness of the land.
As soon as he saw Xia Xun, Huang Zhen grinned widely, raised his hands, bowed his head and said: "My lord, you are here, I miss you so much!"
When Xia Xun saw him dressed like this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Old Huang, why do you look like this? After all, he is also the imperial envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate and Qiandu, and fur clothes here are not very expensive. Can't you still afford it? How about you?"
Shall I give you one?"
Huang Zhen is now regarded as Xia Xun's direct descendant, and he doesn't show up when he sees him. He took off his dog-skin hat, patted the snowflakes on the hat, and smiled at Xia Xun: "My lord, if you want to talk about warmth, this thing
The clothes are warmer than the fur clothes. Furthermore, the emperor has decreed that he is not allowed to sit in the mansion and summon a few people to ask about local customs. He must go to the fields to investigate the actual situation among the people.
It’s inconvenient to wear a fur coat. But... I thanked the Duke for the reward, but Lao Huang didn’t want to wear it, so he went back to offer it as a family heirloom!”
Xia Xun couldn't help laughing, and laughed loudly: "Yes, I asked for it on my own, OK, OK, OK, I'll give you a fur coat later, hahaha, sit down, sit down, the tea is hot, you're welcome, you can pour it yourself!"
After saying that, he also sat down on his seat, his smile faded slightly, and he asked: "You have been visiting Xiliang for some time, how is the situation here?"
※
When Xia Xun left the wedding banquet, the banquet was not completely over. When he and Huang Zhen were holding tea and chatting, many guests were leaving the Xining Hou Mansion one after another.
The two guests walked side by side, chatting as they walked.
One of them was about forty years old, with a high nose and concave eyes, tall and burly, with a black and shiny face, as sharp as a knife, with his hair braided, and wearing a Tibetan robe. This Tibetan was called Shenglong, and he lived near the Hengduan Mountains of Nyainchen Tanglha Mountain.
The northern Tibetan grasslands in the north belong to the Amdo Tibetans. The Amdo area is a vast and vast grassland that is famous for producing fine horses.
Shenglong was a chieftain there, managing a vast grassland. He also ran a business. Many of Song Sheng's Ganliang Jingqi and many well-bred horses were bought from him. Of course, his business was not just horses, but
This is his main business. Ganliang Jingqi is his biggest war horse buyer. How can he not come when the Marquis of Xining's family is holding a wedding? Ever since he got the letter, he has come to Zhangye with generous gifts.
The other one is younger, in his mid-twenties, and looks slimmer than the tall Sheng Long next to him. However, wearing a Mongolian leather robe with a slanted lapel on the right side, a high collar and long sleeves on his body, he immediately looks bloated.
On his feet he wore a pair of wool felt boots, which are most suitable for walking or riding horses in ice and snow, and can protect against the severe cold.
His leather hat had not yet been buckled on his head, and he was also wearing a white brimmed cap, which was just a throwback.
Huihui does not only refer to the Hui people, but also refers to people who believe in Islam. This man is a Mongolian, whose real name is Mandu Latu. When translated into Chinese, it means Xinglong, because he has been a Mongolian since his father’s generation.
A businessman hopes that his family will be rich and prosperous. He lives in Shazhou, that is, Dunhuang. Because his mother is Han and she often does business with Han people, he named Ying Zhan after his mother's surname.
Simple, now others call him Ying Zhan instead of Mandu Latu.
Ying Zhan's business was complicated, and he did whatever he wanted to make money. Xuan'er's fool offered him to sell jewelry and spices from the Western Regions to the Pass, and then buy ceramic tea from the Pass and sell them to the Western Regions. Along the Pass, he often dealt with the Xiliang garrison.
, if the relationship is good, the cost of customs clearance will be low. If there is no personal relationship, 60% of the hard-earned money will fall into the hands of others. Therefore, Ying Zhan attaches great importance to the relationship with the Xiliang guards.
.When the Hou family of Xining holds a happy event, he must come.
Sheng Long and Ying Zhan are good friends and business partners. Since they met at the Xining Hou Mansion, they naturally had to go together and find a tavern to have a good drink.
Ying Zhan said excitedly to Sheng Long, "Brother, my wife just gave birth to another son for me. Hehe, I already have two sons. I'm thinking about having a girl in two years."
After hearing this, Sheng Long couldn't help but smile on his serious face: "Congratulations, congratulations, uh..., brother."
"Um?"
"The Duke of Fu came to the northwest this time, but he brought 30,000 elite troops. He didn't just want to send the princess to get married. I heard that Timur Khan was coming to attack, and the Ming Dynasty was also sending more troops here. Both of us
I'm afraid there's going to be a big fight. Your home is on a sandbank. Once Tamerlane's soldiers break through Hami, they will rush to the sandbank. Your huge family property... do you want to go to my eldest brother's place to avoid the edge?"
Ying Zhan said: "Well, my family also has a lot of business in Bieshu Bali. I have heard about this a long time ago. War is a trouble. But..."
Ying Zhan said nonchalantly: "I am a Mongolian and I believe in Allah. Even if Tamerlane really fights me, he will not do anything to me."
Shenglong advised: "Brother, during the war, do you think Tamerlane Khan can notice you? There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army, and if his soldiers are interested in making money, they don't necessarily care whether you are a Mongolian or whether you belong to Allah.
Believer, maybe..., your family is a big tycoon in the Western Regions and has a lot of business. If there is a war, it will be damaged. I estimate that even if they fight, my pasture at the foot of Tanggula Mountain will not be implicated. You might as well take care of your family first.
Xiaohe moved some of his property here to prevent any unexpected events!"
Ying Zhan glanced at him and said suspiciously: "Brother, what do you mean? Could it be that... you are still evil and still plotting against my mother-in-law?"
Sheng Long's face turned red and he said sarcastically: "Where did you go? Didn't I plan this for you? Xuelian..."
Ying Zhan glared and said, "Hey! Brother, she is my mother-in-law and your elder! How can you call her by her first name?"
Shenglong became angry and said: "We can discuss each other's success? You boy, if I hadn't sold the horses to the sandbank and saved the lives of her mother and daughter from the horse bandits, how could you have married Miao Yi with such a cool spirit?
Handsome woman? Don’t burn bridges by crossing the river!”
Ying Zhan hummed and said, "If my mother-in-law is willing to marry you, I don't care. Let me tell you, my mother-in-law is a Buddhist now. She has built a Buddhist hall at home, eats fast and chants Buddha's name every day, and is more pious than the monk who became a monk.
It’s almost time to shave your hair. I advise you not to have any wishful thinking! You, the chieftain, can’t pick this snow lotus away!”
