"Take it, if you don't need money, who would travel such a long way when winter comes?" Aunt Qing said very reasonably, looked at Li Xu's red face, smiled, and began to comfort her in a low voice.
A few words, "Doing business is no better than studying. You have to harden your heart. Looking at you like this, it must be your first time doing business. Get used to it slowly and you will be fine!"
"Yes!" Li Xu nodded lightly. Although he didn't have much contact with the woman in front of him, he felt very kind to him like an elder in the family. Thinking that he would have to stay in Xibu for a while, there would be many opportunities to repay this favor. So I am grateful.
He smiled at the woman and carefully put the silver bell into the money bag at his waist.
With the Shu brocade in hand, the girl's mind immediately focused on her clothes. Seeing that it was already dark, Xu and Li quickly stood up and left. The beautiful young woman didn't want to leave the two of them sitting for too long. She held a girl in one hand and got up to send him out of the tent.
"It's rare for people from the Central Plains to come to our tribe. I spoke my hometown dialect for a long time today, and I feel very comfortable!" Before leaving, the young woman looked at the dome-like sky above her head and said softly.
"If Aunt Qing likes it, how about I bring them to drink tea tomorrow after they close the stall?" The girl in yellow shirt asked with a somewhat pleading tone as she understood the taste of the marrow.
"They will close the stall tomorrow and should be packing their bags to go back to the Central Plains!" Aunt Qing thought for a while and looked at Xu and Li with inquiring eyes.
"If the patriarch allows it, we may stay in the tribe for the winter!" Li Xu answered honestly. If given the chance, he would do whatever he could to make the young woman in front of him happy. For the sake of today, she did it several times for her.
To save myself from the siege, I also want to experience the charm of drinking tea again.
"Li Xu, you, do you really want to stay?" The girl in blue was the first to jump up, holding Li Xu's arm and asking. This Han family bastard was too greedy, too shy to be too shy.
Some. But according to the explanation given by Aunt Qing, everything he did was for a reason. Including sneaking away that night. In Aunt Qing's words, it was an act that only a gentleman among the people of the Central Plains would do.
In fact, what exactly will happen in the tent? The girl herself doesn’t understand. The first time she imitated the behavior of an adult, she got off to a bad start. Although she was annoyed, her curiosity about Li Xu was even stronger. The Han Taozi and tribe in front of her
The boy chasing her was very different in China and Japan. The girl herself was confused as to what the specific difference was. She just felt that if Li Xu stayed one more day, she could have a lot more fun.
"I, I haven't mentioned this to the patriarch yet. I don't know if he will allow it!" Li Xu's arm was used to being pulled by the girl, and he had some experience and no longer felt as shy as the first time. After thinking about it,
Gave a very serious answer.
"It's too late for your father and elders to be happy that you can stay!" The girl in blue shirt was so happy that she couldn't keep any secrets in her mouth. Turkic people regard wolves as totems and have a wolf as a companion, especially wolves with rare coat colors, such as gold.
Gray or silver gray will be regarded as a symbol of good luck. The Xi tribe is currently attached to the Turks. Although they use swans as their totem, their beliefs have been greatly influenced by the Turks. The chief and several elders have been thinking about how to make them
Little Wolf Ganluo stayed in the tribe for a while and never had a chance to mention it to Li Xu, but he didn't expect that Li Xu himself planned to stay in the tribe for the winter.
"Okay, tomorrow I will make some side dishes with my own hands and invite your father and your friends to eat!" Seeing the girl's happy look, Aunt Qing pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes gleaming, as if she had suddenly become twenty years younger.
How old.
Back then, I was as careless as the girl in front of me, and the young boy back then was even more stupid than Li Xu. And my brother was smarter and brighter than the man named Xu Shiji in front of me.
.
More than twenty years have passed, but everything seems to have happened yesterday.
When Li Xu and Xu Dayan returned to their camp, Jiu Shu and others were already anxious. It turned out that although the tribes of the Xi people were of the same clan, except for wars or a few important days in a year, they rarely had any contact with each other.
There are so many tribes gathered in one place. During this market transaction, young men and elders from several tribes with a radius of more than 500 miles came to stay with the Suchu tribe. This was a good opportunity that the tribes could never ask for.
, Therefore, as the host, Su Chuobu will inevitably entertain him warmly.
Although he was happy, the enthusiastic patriarch Su Chuoxir did not forget who brought him joy, so he sent a few live sheep, several bags of sour mare's milk, and sent a highly respected patriarch to come.
He came to drink with the traders. At the same time, he strongly invited the caravan leaders Sun Jiu, Zhang San and two young men to attend a dinner specially set up to entertain the elders of various ethnic groups.
Li Xu and Xu Dayan have not returned for a long time, fearing that the host will be impatient with the wait. Sun Jiu and Zhang San originally wanted to go first. But the messenger sent by the patriarch Su Chuoxil insisted that the guests must bring Little Wolf Ganluo to attend.
.And since arriving in Su Chuubu, the little wolf Ganluo has had bones and meat to eat every day, and the little wolf Ganluo has gradually grown fangs. Usually, when the vendors feed it meat, they always refuse to come, but they want to take him away.
There was no way. No matter what benefits Sun Jiu offered to seduce him, he just refused to go with him. Uncle Zhang was really impatient with waiting, so he found a rope and prepared to tie it around the wolf's neck and forcefully lead him away, but he was taken away by the little wolf Gan Luo.
He jumped up in the air and almost bit his throat.
Zhang Laosan lost face in front of outsiders and angrily found a horsewhip to punish Gan Luo. But the little wolf refused to be taught, and put on a posture of preparing to fight, with its front legs lowered, its hind legs tense, and its mouth
He made a low whining sound. No matter how he waved the whip in Zhang San's hand, his eyes just refused to leave his neck. This made Zhang Laosan so frightened that he didn't dare to take action easily.
"It's a wolf, not a dog!" Aslan, the messenger from the Su Chuan tribe who had been watching Uncle Zhang and Gan Luo's torment, said in Turkic. "You bully it when it's young now. When it grows up, it will remember today's humiliation at any time!
"
This is the Minbu, a vassal of the Turks. The wolf has always been considered a noble creature here. His wish to shoot Gan Luo to death with a bow and arrow will definitely not come true. Uncle Zhang had no choice but to throw down his whip and scold him.
The little wolf's owner was wicked and brought such a wolf cub but didn't know how to tame it. The little wolf Gan Luo couldn't understand the curse words. When he saw Uncle Zhang threw the riding whip and gave him a disdainful look, he sat on the ground proudly. He looked like that,
He looked like a tribal hero returning from a victorious battle.
After finally catching Li Xu, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but have a straight face and rushed up to teach him a lesson. Li Xu was used to being scolded by him these days, and he didn't say anything to contradict him in front of outsiders. Until Uncle Zhang got thirsty after being scolded, he stopped to drink water.
At this time, he replied calmly: "My nephew is rude, I shouldn't worry Uncle Jiu. But the daughter of the patriarch's family invited me to send Shu brocade to her tent, so Brother Xu and I had to go, so we came back late!"
"
"Are they Tao Kuotosi and Eru? We must have gotten sidetracked. If I had known you were at the patriarch's house, I wouldn't have waited here. I'm really sorry for making you run back and forth, sorry!" Aslan smiled.
Said. When he mentioned Tao Kuo Tusi, a smile of love and helplessness bloomed on his face. He must have suffered a lot at the hands of this weird girl on weekdays.
"It's Tao Kuotosi, Eru, and Aunt Wanqing!" Li Xu answered honestly. He had never figured out what the tribe's honorific title was for the chief's woman. I'm afraid she would call her Khan Concubine like they did in the Central Plains.
With the current strength of the Suchu tribe, it is not possible for Chief Xier to become a khan on his own.
"It's Aunt Qing. She also found out from this. She must be very happy to see the face of this tribe!" A'silan immediately changed his posture of respect and said very understandingly.
Hearing that Li Xu went to work for the patriarch's wife and daughter, Uncle Zhang had to temporarily suppress the anger in his stomach. Although there were some twists and turns during this trip, everyone's income was three times as much as before. Such a warm and kind-hearted Su Chui
Everyone must be looking forward to running more times. Therefore, being able to establish a relationship with the clan leader's family will undoubtedly have many benefits for the caravan. Thinking about it this way, Li Xu not only has no fault, but has made contributions to everyone. Moreover, since
Since entering the tribe, this unlucky boy has always been favored by that so-and-so silk. Once his fortune really turns out to be the clan leader's son-in-law, offending him now will be like offending a little wolf. When it grows up, he will be
Do I stare at your throat every day?
Thinking of this, Uncle Zhang's face changed back to the honest elder face he had in front of Li Xu's parents when they first met. He patted Li Xu on the shoulder and said gently: "Ahem, you are doing things for the patriarch's family. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
What? Uncle Jiu and I were afraid that you would be in danger if you were young and playful. The grassland is so big. If you lose your way, how can I explain to your father? Go wash your face and change your body and clothes! There are more than a dozen of them.
The elders of the tribe are waiting, we can’t treat our guests as guests!”
The merchants had already informed Uncle Zhang that Li Xu and Xu Dayan left with the two girls, but at that time he did not connect the girl's identity with the patriarch's family. In addition, seeing that Li Xu had made a lot of money,
Being treated as a distinguished guest by the people of Lin, she was jealous, so she was so arrogant before. After it was confirmed from A Silan's mouth that the wild girl named So-and-so Si was actually the daughter of the clan leader, she suddenly remembered Su Chuoxi at the banquet on the first day.
I once told everyone in person that those were her daughter's words. Once she regained her sense, she felt regretful in her heart. She was arrogant but respectful, and her attitude changed so quickly that even a person like Xu Dayan, who had been trained since childhood, felt ashamed. Two people
The young man despised Zhang San in his heart and changed into clean clothes as quickly as possible. Then he walked out of the tent and prepared to go out for the banquet.
After all, the young people's bodies could withstand the torment. After a few days of rest, Xu and Li no longer looked as haggard as they did on the road. After changing into a long gown worn by scholars and tidying up their hair, they
He became more and more energetic. Xu Dayan was born in a wealthy family. No matter what kind of crowd he was among, the calm and calm temperament in his movements could not be concealed even if he wanted to. And Li Xu, although he did not appear to be
Xu Dayan looks so elegant and suave. He has read a lot, and it is inevitable that he has some elegance in him. Normally, everyone doesn't think he is handsome, but when they heard that he had made a lot of money today and was appreciated by the leader of the Xiren clan,
I suddenly looked at him a few more times and immediately noticed what was different about him. (To be continued)
