Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 153
Obviously Zhang Yang is not a special person to Man Er, since he wants to see him, he should meet him.

The next day Man'er excitedly took Wu Yanxiu there, and told him to tell him the result of the test.

The items on Zhang Yang's shelves are very complete, most of them are from Luoyang, and the hairpin-style ornaments are more elegant than other places, Wu Yanxiu can tell it at a glance.

This man is not simple.

It is obviously an extraordinary ability to be able to transport goods across the two defense lines to this place just after the war ended.

The two looked at each other and thought about each other.

Wu Yanxiu was the first to speak, "You are from Luoyang. I grew up in Luoyang. I am very familiar with your products."

Zhang Yang nodded.

"My name is Wu Yanxiu. Have you heard about me in Luoyang? What's new in Luoyang recently?"

Because Emperor Wu had mentioned Wu Yanxiu, Zhang Yang remembered it very clearly. He made a special effort to get to know him in Luoyang. Not long after he came to Turkic, Shen Sanwen mentioned this person again, unexpectedly he met so soon.

Emperor Wu said that this person might be able to help him, so it was necessary to talk to him.

Zhang Yang glanced at him and shook his head, pretending not to care, then turned to ask Man'er what he needed, "This beautiful little girl is here again, and she brought friends to take care of our business?"

Man'er smiled, and grabbed Wu Yanxiu's arm, "I don't know what hairpin looks good to wear, so I specially asked my helper to help me choose."

Wu Yanxiu was a little shy, he was already a prisoner, and he had no intention of getting married in silence, but the barbaric behavior gave him another glimmer of hope.

Zhang Yang saw his anxiety and shyness in his eyes, and his trust in Wu Yanxiu was greatly reduced.

Zhang Yang became enthusiastic again, "Then let's choose this brother. Although I sell women's hairpins, many people wear them for their loved ones. Little brother, take your time and take a look." , it’s okay if you don’t buy it.”

Wu Yanxiu chose carefully, although Zhang Yang also brought some other rouge powders, handkerchief sachets, Man'er lost his desire after just one glance.

Horse galloping on the grassland, what do you want this thing for?It's better to buy a few gold hairpins, and occasionally play with the hair accessories of the Central Plains people for fun.

Wu Yanxiu chose a jade hairpin all over the body, and Zhang Yang immediately boasted, "This brother really has a good eye, this jade hairpin is of high quality, and I finally bought it from a traveler. If the money hadn't been stolen and he needed to stay in the hotel, he wouldn't have given it to me."

Wu Yanxiu nodded, then asked Man'er, "Do you like it?"

"En", Man'er nodded, picked up the jade hairpin and kept flipping through it in the sun, each side was carved with exquisite care, pleasing to the eye.There were too many hairpin styles, she was dazzled, and she didn't know which one to take. Yesterday, she was in a hurry to leave and picked one casually, which was far inferior to the one carefully selected by Wu Yanxiu today.

After paying the bill and putting away the jade hairpin, Man'er looked at Wu Yanxiu again, implying that he wanted to know the result of the previous question.

Wu Yanxiu politely asked Zhang Yang, "Do you know the Martial Mansion in the west of Luoyang City?" The people living in the east of the city are all ex-dynasty aristocrats, or big families. with them.

Zhang Yang nodded, "I know, Wu Chengsi's residence."

Wu Yanxiu was a little annoyed that a Hu businessman would call his father by his lord's first name. If he was polite, he would always call him King Wei, and no matter how bad he was, he would call him Lord Wu.

It's just that Turkic didn't have anyone to pass on the news, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to ask, "How is Mr. Wu?"

Zhang Yang put on a laughing face, looking very gossip, "I heard that this man is the emperor's nephew, but he has no skills, he only knows how to have fun all day long. You have to name a horse when I came. He seemed to have lost a piece of paper when I came. A thousand-mile horse named Junjie actually fell ill because of this matter. I guess it must be because the servants in this mansion usually don’t have enough to eat, so they secretly cooked it. The horse meat tastes good, and the thousand-mile horse should be even more delicious. "

Wu Yanxiu had a nickname named Junjie, few people knew about it, so he said that Wu Chengsi was very worried that he would fall ill.

Wu Yanxiu sighed, this person should have something to do with his father, but he just looked very confused, "I am from the Wufu, can you go and say goodbye to me when you return, and tell the concierge that Wu Yanxiu is all right?" Just fine."

Zhang Yang nodded, "But, but, but."

Wu Yanxiu took out the consistent money and handed it to him, Zhang Yang weighed it and said nothing.

Wu Yanxiu took out another one, Zhang Yang took it and nodded in agreement.

Man'er glared at him, "Why are you like this?"

Normally, sending a letter only costs more than a dozen pennies, but to take a message and receive it twice, he is really a dishonest businessman.

Zhang Yang put the money in his pocket and stuffed it into his waist pocket, and carefully patted it tightly and evenly, "Girl, this road is not easy now, and the war is over, and it costs a lot of travel expenses to come here to do business. The officers and soldiers don't care about us, it's not easy. .”

Man'er was silent. After all, the war has a lot of influence. There are many fewer merchants, and it is not easy to buy a decent gift.Moreover, this battle is going to be fought by her father, in the name of her marriage. Thinking about it this way, she is in a bad mood, "Okay, okay, remember to bring the news."

Wu Yanxiu took her away from Zhang Yang's shelf, Man'er was worried that Wu Yanxiu was in a bad mood and didn't ask about the result.

After walking a few steps and leaving the stall, Wu Yanxiu told her, "That man is not from Dazhou. No one would be so impolite and call a high-ranking official by his name. But he is not like a Turkic person either. The Turkic businessman is too honest. Will be so greedy. It should be other tribes who grew up on the border of the Turks in the Tang Dynasty."

Maner nodded.

The two walked around the grassland together again, chatted about interesting things, and left after lunch.

Wu Yanxiu went back to the house, took out the scroll she wrote, and if Zhang Yang could really trust her, she would hand over the written content to him.

What he wrote was not an analysis of major events, but only recorded the appearance of the people he saw when he came to Turkic, the ritual process and small group gatherings to hunt. He even recorded the food he ate, the music he heard, and the bonfire dance he participated in.The thoughts of the people can be expressed through their usual speech and behavior. Smart people can have an intuitive understanding of Turks after reading what he wrote.

Not yet finished.As long as he is in Turkic for a day, he will continue to write.

Anyway, idle is idle, he has played all the fun Turkic can have.

The tough environment in Turkic really affected him. He has a deep understanding of many words in the previous books, and he no longer just pretends to be sympathetic to many people like before.

Of course, this is not a fortune in his life, but just a nightmare he wants to get rid of, and the only consoling memory is a Turkic friend.

These publicity do not know.

The Turkic rain season was unpredictable, Zhang Yang was very worried, what would he do if it rained suddenly one day while he was peddling, and then his makeup faded.

Three days later, he left this place as usual and headed for a new destination, this time the destination was the Turkic Imperial City.

It's really exciting to enter the enemy's capital, and it's walking on the street swaggeringly.Not long ago, they were fighting each other, but now they pretend to be one of them without anyone noticing, which is very refreshing.

The 100 people he led thought the same way, but they couldn't help feeling a little bit of fear. If they were recognized, they would be cold-hearted, and their heads might be cut off and hung on the city gate.

Business is particularly good in the political center. Although the Turkic people are poor, the Turkic nobles are still very rich.

After Man'er gave his sister-in-law a jade hairpin, the Turkic ladies had long expected them to enter the city.One side is waiting to buy, and the other side is anxious to sell. They are very well matched, so there are many customers and business is booming.

Along the way, Zhang Yang and Wu Yanxiu had the same emotion.If there is no war, this is really a paradise, horses and sheep are herded, and there is an endless grassland when you go out. Walking here is a comfort from the heart.No wonder many heroes in Mr. Jin Yong's book are eager to live a peaceful life outside the Great Wall, all because of the beautiful scenery.

It's just that people still have to live in reality, and there are wars outside the Great Wall.

He has been at war with the Turks for a long time, so Wu Yanxiu's confusion does not exist.The Turkic people are more advocating force than the Dazhou people. The Turkic people are more competitive than the Dazhou people who pay attention to rank and inferiority. The bonfire party competes in dancing and wrestling competitions. Everyone is competing for the best role. Even the grassland The beauties on the Internet are also awarded a pearl and jasper.

After staying in the imperial city for a period of time, he had no reason to go further, and the goods were almost sold out.The soldiers below have been teasing that they learned the ability to sell goods from the general, and they will not worry about being stupid when they open a small shop in the future.

The time is too short, and it is only a function of familiarizing with the terrain of the route, and it is impossible to talk about real understanding.However, there was nothing he could do. The Turkic people never regarded him, a Turkic businessman who had been staying at the border, as one of their own.

A general understanding of Turkic is still rewarding, but Khitan, there is no reason to go there.Maybe he should go to Wu Yanxiu for help, maybe it will be useful.

Just when he thought so, Wu Yanxiu came to Turkic Imperial City.

Many women bought the hairpin style and thought it was not good-looking, so they thought of Wu Yanxiu, he seems to be very good at picking?

Man'er received many commissions to ask Wu Yanxiu to come out of the mountain. This noble son of the Great Zhou helped her out of friendship, but she may not be willing to contribute her own vision. She was a little embarrassed to ask him for help, and even made three invitations without success. Prepare to return.

But unexpectedly, Wu Yanxiu readily agreed, and Man Er gave him the opportunity to contact Zhang Yang.

Wu Yanxiu even happily said to Man'er, "The hairpin style varies from person to person, it's best that you invite them to go together tomorrow, so I can give advice in person."

Mochu Khan was not very polite to him, so he didn't know other Turkic nobles except Man'er. This was an opportunity.An opportunity to learn about the marriages of the Turkic nobles and their ideas.

The marriages of the Turkic nobles were divided into two situations.One is the right marriage, but in fact it is a marriage between two parties with little difference in noble rank.One is that after participating in tribal activities, they admire each other and become husband and wife.Tribal warriors usually propose to their childhood sweethearts or well-known beauties in the tribe. The family status may be different, but warriors are respected. If they can become Turkic heroes, these stories will be passed down as good stories.
