Chapter 139 The Male Lion Meets the Tigress

Chapter 139 The Male Lion Meets the Tigress
Yunchu had a bad impression of the countryside of Datang.

On the way from the Western Regions to Chang'an, the living conditions of the farmers he saw were really not good.

Longyou Dao was the richest area in the Tang Dynasty, and even so, it was hard for him to imagine what the state would be like in those places that were not rich.

In the second year of Yonghui, a middle-level county in Hu County, the autumn Fu in kind plus money, totaled 730 three guan and 120 seven characters, which is already the highest harvest in Hu County over the years.

The county magistrate is named Wu Qingming, and he was promoted as a cadre by the Department of Cleaning Officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Promotion and fortune are just around the corner.

In Hu County, there are 450 households.

These 450 households, with a population of more than [-], the total amount of taxes paid to Datang is not as much as the money that Yunchu got back in half a year.

This money is not even as rich as Naha's net worth, especially the white stone Naha bought from a Huihe kid two years ago with sheep bone joints. As far as he is concerned, the richest person in the Yun family is not Yunchu, but Naha.

Because she got so many white stones that she filled two leather bags, each of which weighed more than 100 catties.

At the foot of Tianshan Mountain, only those who bought Naha with white stones were eligible to let Yunchu burn marmots for their family...

Therefore, when Naha gave Gongsun and Yu Xiurong a white stone to play with, Gongsun was full of doubts about Naha's origin.

She didn't believe that Naha was an ordinary little girl from the Western Regions, because there were many little girls from the Western Regions who participated in dancing in the place where she worked, and no one could take out this kind of white stone and give it away casually. Give yourself to others.

This is a piece of egg-sized white stone with a piece of yellow-brown skin on it. If you find a skilled craftsman, you can make good use of this piece of yellow skin and carve it into landscapes or figures.

No matter how much this stone is worth, just the labor cost to carve this stone will definitely not be less than ten pennies!
Gongsun squinted at Yu Xiurong and thanked Naha, then held the warm and delicate stone in his hand to play with, and then couldn't help reminding: "Miss Yu, this is a very good piece of white jade."

Yu Xiurong raised that delicate face and said, "I know, this is a gift from Naha, and I will keep it well."

Naha, who was riding on the donkey's back, waved her hand generously and said, "It's okay, just ask me if you lose it, I have a lot of these white stones."

Gongsun rolled his eyes and said, "When you were in the Western Regions, did the people there treat you well?"

Naha grinned and said: "No one dares to treat me badly. If the older one treats me badly, Jaska will whip him; if the young one treats me badly, my brother will whip him. In short, Anyone who treats me badly will be beaten.

There were also a few people who wanted to take me away and send me to the Khan's tent, but they disappeared somehow, probably eaten by wolves. "

Hearing Naha laughingly telling them about the past, Gongsun only felt terrified, who could beat and even kill people so recklessly in the barbaric and fierce Huihe tribe.

Having never been to the Western Regions, she naturally associated the protection Naha received with power, rather than brutal and bloody force.

Naha is Jaska's biological daughter. When others bully his daughter, it is tantamount to bullying him. If he does not resist, the next person to be bullied will be himself.

As for Yunchu... Yunchu was a serious mental illness patient when he was in the Western Regions. Naha was the only light he could see. Anyone who dared to bully Naha would be killed by him!And he's already killed several of them.

Yu Xiurong's focus was not on Naha, nor on the white stone in her hand. Her focus was on Yun Chu who was riding a particularly beautiful red horse. Seeing the red horse's mane flying, Yun Chu was also full of heroic spirit. Yu Xiurong always felt his face was hot.

At this time, for the first time, Yu Xiurong hoped that his old Huang would become weaker, so that Yun Chu who was following behind would unknowingly rush up, and it would be good to have a good look without saying a word.

She was looking at Yunchu, while her little maid, Zijuan, was looking at the white stone in her hand. My little lady also had one of this kind of white stone, but it was left by the mistress before she died, saying that she would give it to her. The little lady used it as a dowry, and said that with this piece of jade, it would not be considered shabby for the little lady to marry.

Now, the little lady is holding a white stone that is bigger and more beautiful than the one left by the mistress, and I don't know how much it is worth...

"Don't always stare at people, we are far away, we can't see clearly."

Cui in the carriage laughed teasingly.

"She purposely sat on the side of the bullock cart, and turned her face away, just wanting me to see it. I still know that a woman looks like someone who pleases herself."

"You can lean over and watch like a disciple."

"Since I have pretended to be a gentleman for a long time, I must persevere and not give up halfway."

"Lang Jun is well versed in the art of war, so he can use the art of war to find a way to find a reasonable opportunity to meet the young lady."

"You sound like what Wang Po said."

"Who is Wang Po? That talkative Wang Po in Jinchangfang?"

"No, but this is a small problem, so don't understand it too much."

"Why does Gongsun ride a horse? It doesn't look good for a woman to ride a horse with her legs apart."

"Naha, you feel comfortable riding a donkey, don't you?"

"That's right, the little donkey with the white mouth that Naha rides is docile, and its size matches Naha very well."

"I saw Naha give away her white stone."

Cui clutched her chest for a long time before recovering, sighed and said: "This child is still so generous..."

The Zhuangzi of the Yun family arrived soon, and Yun Chu fell in love with him immediately after just one glance.

Farmhouses are good at this time. Nature has decorated the earth with colorful colors. Even dilapidated farmhouses will show a bit of charm after being decorated with these plants.

The Zhuangzi of the Yun family is actually a large enclosed courtyard. The house looks low, but it is very flat. The gate of the Zhuangzi is also very dilapidated. You can see the original appearance of the trees.

Twenty or so people in ragged clothes were squatting under the wall of Yunjiazhuangzi, as if they were waiting for someone. However, after being seen by Cui Shi, her face immediately became angry, she got out of the carriage, and To Fei Jiu, who was driving the car, he said: "Drive them all away, I humbly begged them to let them continue to work in the village, and reduced the rent by [-]%.

They were the ones who said that they would rather be a dog for the Marquis of Yanmen than a human being for a small family. They said it so terribly at the time, and now they still have the face to come back. "

Obviously, when these people said this at the beginning, Fei Jiu was there. He handed over the reins to Mrs. Cui, jumped out of the carriage and went to drive away those no-name people.

Yunchu has no opinion on this matter, and thinks that what Cui said is right, if these people stayed in Zhuangzi back then, of course he would take care of their lives and deaths.

Since they refused to stay, there was no obligation, and life and death had nothing to do with the Yun family.

Even if the Yun family needed to hire new people, they wouldn't want these people.

What you can't get from the Yanmen Marquis Mansion, you can't get it from the Yun Family either.

Fei Jiu drove these people away with a whip, and ignored their pleading and crying.

Seeing this group of people leave the range of the Yun Family Zhuangzi, Yunchu and his party entered the Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi was dilapidated, and there was no good house to live in. Fortunately, there was a thick persimmon tree in the yard, which could shade the sun.

The servants of the Yun family put the foldable table under the shade of the trees and drank tea together listening to the birdsong.

Yun's tea never uses any seasoning, and the bitter tea froth sticks to the mouth after a sip, which is not liked by a group of women.

Yun Chu actually drinks tea foam as a vitamin. Chang’an doesn’t see many green vegetables in winter, which is similar to that in the Western Regions, that is, there are more salted vegetables, sauerkraut, tofu and the like.

The women went to the flower field after resting for a while, and only then did Yunchu start planning his own farm.

There is no need for all the adobe houses that are as small as a pigsty to exist here. Yunchu plans to build a few tall brick houses here for summer vacation and for Naha to raise sheep.

I have to say that the land of Liang Jianfang's family is really good, less than 500 meters away from Qujiang Pond, but the terrain of this land is high, even if Qujiang Pond is flooded, it will not rise here.

I don't know whether Liang Jianfang will be scolded by his wife for giving this piece out on impulse.

The flowers in the peony field had already bloomed little by little, and Yu Xiurong came back from the field with a bunch of flowers in his arms.

Seeing Yunchu alone, she hesitated for a moment, then walked over, looked at Yunchu and said, "Why do you want to marry me, an orphan?"

Yun Chu said: "The first time I saw you, I found that it was very suitable, so I wanted to marry you."

"Just because it fits?"

"I only looked at you twice in total, and I already admired my courage to think it's appropriate.

If you think that I am also suitable to be your lover, you should agree earlier, so that my courage will not disappear. "

"You are so rude."

"There is no need for a male lion to be polite when talking to a tigress, but a male lion will be polite when talking to a sheep."

"Why?"

"Apart from the male lion, the tigress is also the king of beasts. The reason why the lion is polite to the sheep is because the lion wants to eat the sheep. Even a prisoner on death row will have a piece of meat to eat before he dies. What are a few good words worth?"

"Why do you think I'm a tigress?"

"There are such good relatives of Yu Shinan's family who are unwilling to seek refuge and are only willing to support themselves. This kind of behavior is not common among beasts. It seems that only the tigress meets this requirement.

It just so happens that you are a tigress courting a mate, and I am a male lion courting a mate. Since we are lucky enough to meet each other, we might as well try to get along. "

"I've heard that other people's courtship is full of flowers before the moon, and they talk sweetly about you and me. Why do they become beast courtships when they come to me?"

"Because I can't see each other, I can't spend the time before and after, and I can't talk sweet words, and I can't talk to each other.

So, you finally created an opportunity to meet, so naturally you have to make a long story short, too much nonsense will affect your boudoir reputation. "

"Do you care about my boudoir reputation?"

"Of course I care, although I also admire a woman like Gongsun who shows her face very much, admires her superb swordsmanship, and admires her vigorous and graceful dancing posture.

When it comes to getting married, I am still willing to marry a young lady who does not leave home. For this reason, I will not hesitate to spend a lot of money, invest time, and marry you with the most solemn courtesy in the world. "
