Ji Tang

Chapter 290 Han family customs
"Rub it hard, haven't you eaten? Why did it take so long?"

Princess Yicheng looked at the water that was gradually turning turbid, with disgust in her eyes. She even took the bathtub and rubbed it hard on herself.

Soon her skin was covered in red streaks, but even so, she still refused to give up!

"Princess, you can't rub it anymore, your skin is bleeding!"

Mrs. Liu quickly took hold of Princess Yicheng's hand and prevented her from rubbing it any more. She really couldn't rub it any more. If she rubbed it any longer, her skin would really become rotten.

Princess Yicheng sat in the bathtub in frustration, and the tears in her eyes could no longer hold back.

Mrs. Liu came out of the tent and begged the soldiers outside the door: "Please get another bucket of water! I will kneel down for you."

"This" soldier is a soldier of the Selected Front Battalion. He knows the Marquis's attitude towards the man inside, but now he has changed three buckets of water.

How dirty is this body? He quickly helped Mrs. Liu up: "Get up quickly. If the Marquis knows that you are like this, he will definitely punish me."

"I beg you."

"Okay, okay, can you count what I owed you in my previous life?" the soldier said helplessly.

"Go in quickly. There is no hot water now. I'll have someone boil some for you."

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed when she heard that she wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by the soldiers. She couldn't kneel down no matter what, so she had to give up!
Answering the question, she said happily: "Princess, please stop rubbing. The military master outside has agreed to change the water for you."

When the soldiers outside the tent heard the voices inside, their eyes became wet. Someone whispered: "Why do you think the Marquis is so kind to them? Isn't he just a prisoner?"

"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. If the Marquis hears it, just wait to be punished!" the man said angrily.

"During dinner today, Commander Liu seemed to have said something, but he was kicked out of the tent by the Marquis. He was so angry that he went out for the whole day and came back in the evening."

"When I come back, I will give an order not to talk about the people inside, otherwise military law will be engaged."

"Are you telling the truth?" Some people didn't believe it.

"Believe it or not, don't tell me to remind you when you are unlucky."

"Princess?"

The big tent couldn't block the sounds outside at all. Mrs. Liu hesitated after hearing this.

Princess Yicheng was in a daze. She really couldn't understand why the young man was so interested in an old woman like him.

When it comes to beauty, when she was young, she really didn't boo anyone, but now that she is old and yellow, and has long lost her former beauty, what can attract him?
He is now a prisoner of his subordinates and has nothing to use. He also wants to die. What could make him like this?

As if something suddenly occurred to him, he asked, "What's that boy's name?"

Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly: "It seems that the surname is Ji and the name is Ji Song."

"Jisong? Ji's surname?" Princess Yicheng murmured.

"Oh, by the way, one time I went out and overheard that he seemed to be a Marquis of Haojue County conferred by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He was only 17 years old this year." Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said.

Yicheng thought for a while, but he still didn't expect that he had any friends and relatives named Ji in the past.

This surname is rare now. The ancestors can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, but due to historical reasons, many people have changed their surnames. The current surnames of Zheng in Xingyang, Zhou in Jiangdong, etc. all come from this.

But it must not be easy for a family to bear the surname Ji when this wealthy family is still very powerful.

"Hao Jie County Marquis?"

After thinking about it for a while, I really couldn't figure out what Ji Song's purpose was. If it wasn't a relative or a friend, why would it be like this?
After waiting for a while, news finally came from outside that the water was boiling.
Ji Song woke up in the morning with a splitting headache. He smiled bitterly when he thought about how drunk he was last night!
Since coming to Datang, he has always drank lightly and has never been drunk.But I didn't expect that I would get drunk over a stranger.

After getting up and washing up, I was going to eat some porridge, but my stomach felt very uncomfortable.

After dinner, I went to the camp for a tour. I found that nothing happened, so I was ready to go out for a walk!

But at this time, a soldier came to report that it was the man who wanted to see him.Ji Song was stunned and immediately knew who it was.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't refuse. He went back to the tent and put on his mother's favorite clothes. After he was fully dressed, he came to Princess Yicheng's tent alone.

"The Marquises of Haoju County in the Tang Dynasty, Ji Song and Ji Ziyi, came to express their condolences to Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty!"

Ji Song did not rush in rashly, but showed sufficient etiquette outside.

This is not because she is the princess of the Sui Dynasty, but because of what she has done.

No matter how everyone distorts the facts, she did make great contributions to the Central Plains Dynasty, and no one can erase this.

There was silence for a long time, and just when Ji Song wanted to speak again, a voice came from inside.

"Good Lord, please come in!"

Ji Song did not hesitate and directly opened the curtain and went in.

"Please sit down!"

It was only then that he began to take a look at the peace-making princess in front of him. She was wearing a palace attire and a step-walker on her head. She was sitting on her knees behind the table with her hands clasped in front of her belly, showing the royal style of the Han family.

There is no makeup on her face, and although her color has faded with age, she can still vaguely see her peerless charm from back then.

She pointed with her left hand at the desk and seat on the left.

Ji Song was not polite and sat down directly.

She knew Ji Song from the Liu family and had many dealings with her. Princess Yicheng didn't want to see him before, so it was Liu who was in contact with him.

Mrs. Liu is also wearing a Han lady's dress today, but it can be seen that she is very nervous at this time, even her sitting posture looks very stiff.

Ji Song turned around and smiled at her, which made Mrs. Liu, who was a little ugly at first, think she was laughing at her, so she glared at him without thinking.

"Having lived in the smelly land outside the Great Wall for a long time, I have long forgotten the etiquette of the Han family in the past, and let the good princes see the joke." Princess Yicheng also saw the embarrassment of her maid, but she said it calmly, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

When Ji Song heard the words, he straightened up and said, "What are you saying, princess? She is a Han woman after all. Although she is in a troubled place, as long as her heart is with Han, she is my Han."

"But although some people often wear Han Chinese clothes and read Han Chinese poems and books, their hearts are not in the Han family, so they are not Han children."

"For thousands of years, I, the Chinese, have never spoken of blood. As long as he agrees with my Chinese culture, he is a true Han family, even if he has the face of a barbarian."

Princess Yicheng looked at the confident young man, her mind wandering to nowhere.

It wasn't until Mrs. Liu quietly pushed her that she came back to her senses.

"I want to know, why do you treat me like this if we are not relatives?" Princess Yicheng said.

Ji Song asked in confusion: "Why did the princess say this?"

"boom!"

"Now that things have come to this, are you still trying to bully me?"

She patted the desk, stood up, pointed at Ji Song and said angrily.

Mrs. Liu even scolded: "Although the princess is at fault, she has sacrificed too much for the Han people in the Central Plains. It would be nothing more than killing her, but she still wants to humiliate her?"

"It's so irritating!"

After saying that, he would come over and beat Ji Song.
