Jinyi Night Walk

Hada City is not as high and thick as Kaiyuan City, but Mingkou is more lively than Kaiyuanmai. Before entering the city, you can see travelers coming in and out from a long distance, and some people are driving large tracts of cattle and sheep. It is very lively.

Suddenly seeing a large army approaching, those merchants of various ethnic groups were a little frightened. Fortunately, they saw clearly that it was the flag of the Ming army. opened the way.

Seeing this scene, Xia Xun was also worried about the possible commotion caused by the sudden appearance of such a large army outside the city of Hada, so he proposed to the young imperial envoy, Xiao Bingbei and others to lead only a few dozen guards into the city alone.Several people saw that Hada City was within sight, and within such a short distance, nothing would happen, so they agreed, and the four of them rushed to Hada City with dozens of guards, and the army camped by the roadside waiting.

Hada City is a very simple earthen city. It is estimated that the main purpose of this earthen city was to facilitate the trading of herdsmen of various ethnic groups, so it is not majestic. The men in Hufu were all sturdy, with swords under their ribs and bows on their shoulders. Xia Xun's bodyguards immediately stood ready as if they were facing an enemy.

When those people came to the front and saw their appearance clearly, one of them was very surprised and said in a broken voice: "It's you again? Are you a Han general?"

Xia Xun took a closer look, and then saw clearly that among those barbarian men, a pretty girl dressed in men's clothes was the same female city manager whom she had seen a few days ago, and she couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I see you again, Girl, we are really destined."

The girl gave him a wide-eyed look, and said angrily, "Bah, who is destined for you?"

Ding Yu laughed angrily and said, "Whose girl are you from? Last time it was nothing more than scorning the department. We came out in disguise without revealing our identity. It's no wonder you don't know. This time you saw How dare you be so rude after clearing the identity of Master Butang?"

The nuniang said angrily: "Who are you scaring with such a loud tone? I have never heard of such a straight-forward one! This is our Hada City, not your Kaiyuan, who told you to lead without reason?" A large group of people came, and the people in the city didn't know the details, and they said they were going to fight."

Xiao Bingbei said slowly: "The Ministry is the Governor, and the Governor is an official bigger than the Liaodong Dusi, who is in charge of all the affairs of the Liaodong, understand? Little girl, call your Baiyi out, and welcome the Minister of the Ministry! "

The girl couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard Xiao Bingbei's words. She blinked her big eyes, looked at Xia Xun seriously, and said hesitantly, "Governor? Are you Governor Yang?"

Xia Xun smiled and said, "It's me!"

The girl looked him up and down again, and without saying a word, she turned her horse and left, and the warriors who came out with her immediately turned their horses away, Ding Yu shook his head and said: "These barbarian women are so unruly."

Xia Xun heard that the honorific titles of Master Bai and those rich men in Avanti were similar, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Is this Bai, is his name Bai?"

Xiao Bingbei said: "Master Butang misunderstood, this Bayi is their respectful name for the powerful and rich people in the clan, and the lord of Hada City is called Gu'er Maji, which translates into Chinese and means Fangzi. "

This Xiao Bingbei also only knows what it is, but he doesn't know why. In fact, the Jurchens had no written language at that time, and they used Mongolian script, and the Mongolian script evolved from the Huiwen script, so both the Jurchen script and the Mongols There are many untouched elements in the Hui dialect, according to which the master is the one and honorific name they copied from the Hui dialect.

Xia Xun laughed and said, "Why are their names so weird?"

Xiao Bingbei also laughed and said: "Their names are like this. Girls are better. Most of them are named after things like flowers and plants. Men's names are wild animals. They can be used for anything. Last time, I wanted to sell sheep. The Jurchen who gave it to the hall is called Yalha, which means leopard skin in Chinese. They also have some names, such as Nurhachi, which means wild boar skin, Shuerhaqi, which means small wild boar skin, Dudu means freckle, and Kurzan It means gray crane, and Mafuta means stag...,

Ding Dusi and the young imperial envoy didn't understand these things either, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard Xiao Bingbei's explanation. Xia Xun thought to himself: "No wonder some people called Jurchen a wild boar skin later on. It turns out that the roots are here, and Nuerha Chiben What is the Chinese meaning of the name?"

But he didn’t laugh, it’s just a habit of naming people, there’s nothing funny about it, the Han people have had cheap names since ancient times to make a living. "He" is a wild boar. Didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty give it that name? It's really out of style to make fun of other people's names.

Xiao Bingbei bought a Jurchen girl from Yalha a few days ago as a concubine. Although it is not a big deal, if the governor finds out that he buys and sells people from smugglers, it will not be a good thing after all. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Bingbei casually mentioned: "Some of their women are also named after birds and beasts, but they are all small and clever animals. A few days ago, Xiaguan bought a Jurchen woman as a concubine. This woman's name is Lengeli, which means Shuoshu "...

This time it was Xiao Bingbei's concubine's room, Ding Dusi and Shao Yushi were embarrassed to laugh, but the smile on their faces was really painful.

Xia Xun smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go, let's go into the city, and go shopping in the market, and then meet that Lord Bai."

At this time, the city of Hada already knew that bandits were not coming, and the merchants resumed selling and started business.

Not only cattle, sheep, mules and horses are sold here, but also various and precious fur goods, and all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.Costinins, eagles, and soap carvings are all precious living creatures. In addition, there are leopard skins, fox skins, variable horns (walrus ivory), prickly skins (deer skins of various colors), leopard skins, and so on.As for beizhu, ginseng, deer mang, and even dried fungus, mushrooms, wild chicks, and flying dragons, they can be seen everywhere.

Many things here are rare in the Central Plains, worth more than a hundred gold. Xia Xun got bribes from Mongolian tribes in Beiping back then to get two rare Firefox furs, but here, the best Firefox furs are also randomly placed There, it's anyone's choice.

Seeing the Firefox fur, Xia Xun suddenly remembered the first time he met Ming'er: "Wow! It's so beautiful, like a ball of flame."

That ten-year-old little girl with a voice as crisp as an oriole, wrapped in the fragrance of green grass, has crow-like hair, a lovely pair of bibs, ears as small as ingots, and fair and moist skin, as if smooth ivory revealing powder The color of blood can be blown to pieces.

At that time, I thought, this little Luodi is definitely a beauty embryo, and when she grows up, she must be a disastrous beauty.Now this misfortune happened to be his wife.

Xia Xun felt sweet for a while, and suddenly remembered that she almost cried because of a piece of Firefox skin, eh!Thanks to this, if we don't fight, we don't know each other. Otherwise, how could there be so many entanglements later?

Xia Xun stared at the fox fur that was as red as a flame, thinking of his beautiful wife in his heart, his eyes became more and more gentle.Xiao Bingbei suddenly saw that Xia Xun had reined in his horse and was not leaving. He turned his head and saw that the master of the department was only staring at a piece of fiery red beautiful fox fur in a daze. Tang has good eyesight! This piece of leather is indeed a high-quality product! I bought it and gave it to the minister, it is a little favor of my subordinate!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Bingbei got off his horse, walked to the booth, pointed at the fiery red fox fur and said, "How much is this fur, I want it!"

Shaoyunfeng took a step behind him, curled his lips secretly, and muttered: "Sycophant"

Xia Xun jumped off the horse, stopped Xiao Bingbei, and said with a smile: "No, I have to buy this fox fur myself, I have to buy it myself, that's what I want."

Xiao Bingbei refused at first, but when he heard this, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he laughed, stepped aside and said: "Since that's the case, it's not easy for me to argue anymore."

Xia Xun picked up the leather and looked at it. Although the color of the fur is good, it is just that it is not hunted in autumn. Big, it can be covered by fox fur, but it is not perfect after all, so Chu frowned slightly, and asked: "Do you have any good fur fox fur? If you want to hunt it in the golden autumn of September, it is best to wear eyes." However, the entire fox fur is not wounded by arrows."

The Jurchen businessman saw these people dressed up and hugging each other. They were obviously high officials in the Ming army, so they seemed very panicked. Nodding and bowing, he said: "There are some, the best fox furs, how can I just pile them up here, I have a good fox fur hidden in my house, sir, if you want it, please wait for a while, I will let the mother-in-law get it , be back in a while!"

Xia Xun was slightly disappointed after hearing this: "Is there only one?"

When the businessman heard that the Han official wanted to buy more, he couldn't help being surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "It is in line with what you said about the fox fur. The villain only has one in his hand, but the villain is very concerned about the fox fur that is sold in the city of Hada." All the merchants are familiar with it, "the divination man will run errands for you, and make a fuss, but I don't know how many do you want?"

Xia Xun thought for a while, and found that Xiaodi and Zhangqi had both, and said, "If you want four, all of them must be top-grade goods!"

Standing beside Xia Xun, Zuo Dan couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard the four items, and thought to himself: "If the Duke only buys one, then it goes without saying, it must be given only to Mrs. Ming, the emperor's royal gift from Mrs. Ming, the wife of the first wife Wife, of course, is different from others; if you only buy three, it makes sense, one for the first wife, and one for Lord Qi and Lord Zhen each; but how do you divide up if you buy four? Who will the two concubines give and who will not? The nobleman forgets so much, so it counts as missing one?"

The loyal Zuo Dan immediately reminded: "Master Guo bought fox fur, it must be one for each of the three adults, but I don't know the two adults..."

Xia Xun glanced at him and said, "Zi Qi and Xiao Di already have one."

Zuo Dan said again: "Ah, in this case, it should be three."

Xia Xun glanced at him again, and said viciously, "You are the only one who knows how to count."

Before Zuo Dan could react, he slapped open his hands and said, "That's what it is, Duke, look, this"...

As soon as he snapped off a finger, Xia Xun shouted: "If you don't speak, no one will sell you as a dumb, just go away"

Zuo Dan shyly retreated to the side, touched his nose, still wondering: "Why are there four? It really should be three"...

Xia Xun ignored him, turned to look at the businessman: "How about the price?"

The businessman said with a smile: "My lord, here we either trade with gold or silver, or receive it with goods. If it's precious money, we have no place to spend it..."

Xia Xun was startled when he heard this. Before he could speak, a rough and bold voice beside him said, "Master Butang wants a few pieces of leather. That's how he respects us. Who the hell dares to ask for money? Pu Weidu, you go!" Look for me from door to door, and bring me all the best fox fur at the bottom of their box, and let the master of the hall choose it. Whoever dares to hide his mind, don't appear in Hada City from now on" p: three more one Just in case, please ask for a ticket!
