Seeing Wu Shigong rushing over with more than a dozen soldiers, looking menacing, the little girl immediately stopped shouting and was trembling with fear. Even the little maid in front of the car was so scared that she ran away.
He even forgot to close the curtains of the carriage, and he only knew that he was hugging his own lady.
But when they saw Wu Shigong's thoughtful salutes again, the little girl, who was still a little pale, felt a little relieved. She pushed away the little maid in her arms, sat down and said with a trembling voice: "My family name is Ye!
"
In fact, it was just a routine matter for Wu Shigong to ask the little girl her last name. But after hearing the little girl's answer clearly, Wu Shigong's whole body froze, and his bent waist could not straighten up for a long time.
Wu Shigong's expression immediately became serious. He stared at the little girl blankly. After a long time, he calmed down and ordered the soldiers: "Place these two girls in the upper room of the state government office."
.Remember! Don’t let others know!”
In fact, the soldiers around Wu Shigong had been exchanging glances. In their opinion, Wu Shigong must have coveted the beauty of these two girls and wanted to hide their beauty in a golden house. So after hearing Wu Shigong's order, they also
It was no surprise, so he immediately surrounded the carriage and pulled the horse towards the state government office.
But this time, Wu Shigong was indeed unfairly accused, because Wu Shigong was not interested in the little girl in the carriage...well! There are also reasons why these two girls are quite beautiful, but there is another main reason, that
That is: the little girl spoke the standard "Mandarin" of the Ming Dynasty.
The "Mandarin" of the Ming Dynasty was not based on Beijing dialect like modern times, but the Fengyang dialect, Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown dialect at that time. But now it is not uncommon to hear Fengyang dialect in Fengyang. What is strange about Wu Shigong is that
, that little girl’s Fengyang dialect is a specific Fengyang dialect, that is to say, it is the Fengyang dialect used exclusively by the Ming Dynasty royal family.
We can all understand that a court must have a unified official language, otherwise ministers from all over the world will not be able to speak together in the court with their southern and northern accents.
When the Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, stipulated that the Fengyang dialect of his hometown should be used as the court language. But later, Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing. After more than 300 years of changes, the Mandarin dialect also gradually changed.
Chinese has become Beijing dialect. In fact, the reason is quite simple. Those ministers not only have to discuss politics at the court, they also have to live in Beijing. It is really inconvenient to live in Beijing if you speak Fengyang dialect.
of.
But after all, the rule that Fengyang dialect is the official language has not been abolished. It is still a rule passed down from ancestors, so as long as you are a descendant of the royal family and nobles, you still have to learn this dialect to some extent.
As a noble disciple, Wu Shigong had certainly learned this dialect. Although Wu Shigong, like other noble disciples, had only scratched the surface when he was learning, he still had some impressions of some specific terms in this dialect.
.
Fengyang dialect as the official language is of course different from the folk Fengyang dialect. Some vulgar words have been abandoned, and many elegant terms have been added. More importantly, the Fengyang dialect spoken by the royal family has some
Specific words, and these words are absolutely not allowed to be used by non-royal members. But just now Wu Shigong heard a few such words from the mouth of the little girl in the carriage.
This is the reason why Wu Shigong left and came back again. It is also the reason why Wu Shigong is very respectful to that little girl. Because Wu Shigong is basically certain that this little girl is a member of the royal family.
But the little girl answered that her last name was "Ye!", which confused Wu Shigong. Shouldn't her last name be "Zhu!"? What reason did the little girl have to deceive herself? No matter how bold the military attache was, he would not
How dare you bully a member of the royal family!
But Wu Shigong's mind is indeed very flexible. He knows that there are no princes in Fengyang, and the royal family here are also the royal family who were ordered by the emperor to guard the mausoleum here. And this mausoleum guarding is just a euphemism. To be precise,
, should be called confinement, which means imprisoning the guilty royal family in Fengyang City.
Wu Shigong estimated that this little girl's family is the same, but since she is unwilling to tell the truth now, Wu Shigong is not willing to expose her. Just pretend to be confused for now, Wu Shigong has no curiosity to know the real reason. Anyway, wait until
After Fengyang is recovered, find an opportunity to send the little girl back to Fengyang City. It's better to avoid getting wet hands with flour!
But Wu Shigong's strange behavior also attracted the attention of the officers. Zhou Xun and Zhang Biao walked to Wu Shigong's side, and Zhang Biao asked: "Sir! How should we arrange the girl?"
Wu Shigong thought about it for a while and said, "Let's find some wives to take care of her! Don't be stingy about food and clothing." After all, this little girl is also a member of the royal family, so there is nothing wrong with spending some money to take care of her.
of.
But Zhang Biao immediately showed a clear expression. He thought that Wu Shigong wanted to find a stable woman to identify whether the two little girls were still prostitutes.
So Zhang Biao immediately agreed: "Sir, let this matter be taken care of by the villain!"
Wu Shigong was right when he thought about it. Tao Xin, who was careless and careless, would definitely not be able to take care of the little girl. It would be better to entrust this matter to Zhang Biao, who was more prudent.
But since the little girl wants to conceal her identity, then she shouldn’t publicize in a big way that she has taken her in! So Wu Shigong gave one more warning: “You two only know, it’s best not to let others know!”
After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Zhang Biao was very dissatisfied. He thought to himself: "Don't you just want to raise an outhouse? I am very familiar with this business!"
So Zhang Biao immediately patted his chest to Wu Shigong and said: "Sir, please be at ease! The villain's mouth is very strict. Back then, Brother Zhou...!" Suddenly Zhang Biao thought that Zhou Xun was still by his side.
, so he immediately shut his mouth and looked at Zhou Xun beside him with a guilty conscience.
But Zhou Xun was stupid and didn't understand what he said. He asked enthusiastically: "Uncle Zhang! What's wrong with my father?"
Wu Shigong on the side laughed out loud. He waved to the two people, and then strode away. But after walking a few steps, Wu Shigong also had an afterthought. It turned out that Zhang Biao thought he coveted these two people.
What a beautiful girl!
But at this time, Wu Shigong couldn't save his dignity and went back to explain clearly to Zhang Biao. Anyway, Wu Shigong had always been very free and easy, so the misunderstanding was just a misunderstanding! But it was helpless. It was not that the leader wanted to cause trouble, but that there were too many attentive subordinates.
ah!
But now Wu Shigong is most concerned about the peasant rebel army in Fengyang. As the war situation changes, Wu Shigong, who is busy with the war, quickly forgets about these two girls. (To be continued...)
