Chapter 120: The Mongolian Bazaar

As soon as he left the battlefield full of gunsmoke and blood, at this time, seeing a peaceful and prosperous scene outside Zunhua City, Zhu Youzhen really felt like a world away.

He looked at the bustling yurt bazaar, and thought to himself: If there was no strife in this world, no endless killing, no matter what country, what nationality, what religion people are, they can communicate calmly, trade fairly, exchange what they have, and take what they need, how great it would be!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen said with great interest: "Meifeng, Yulian, let the soldiers take their baggage into the city to rest first, how about we go to the bazaar?" ”

Qi Meifeng and Bao Yulian listened, their eyes immediately lit up, and they said yes in a loud voice.

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, it seems that this love of shopping is a woman's nature, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign!

The 500 soldiers of the Qi family army escorted the baggage into the city, not to mention it for the time being. Zhu Youzhen and the others found a roadside hut to go into, and finally took off their heavy armor, and suddenly felt relaxed.

In order not to be noticeable, Bao Yulian also specially changed into a set of clothes worn by ordinary people for him. Zhu Youzhen took a look, and he really regained the ** silk temperament of his previous life, and he was still in the crowd, and he would definitely not be able to find it immediately.

After he came out, Qi Meifeng went in to change his clothes again. When she appeared in front of Zhu Youzhen again, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were about to fall out!

I saw her long waterfall-like hair, casually draped over her shoulders and back; A pair of pretty eyes that seem to be happy or unhappy are flowing, looking forward to life; On the two thin lips, some pale lipstick is applied, which looks more delicate; And a robe sewn from mink can't hide her graceful figure!

Comrade Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth wide, looked at Qi Meifeng, who had restored her women's clothes, in a daze, and was speechless for a long time. With a click, he drew a perfect silver line in the air and fell to the ground.

Qi Meifeng said with a shy: "Your Highness won't make fun of the appearance of the last general, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhen woke up like a dream and said: "No, no!" It's still good to dress up like this! I wish you never had to wear armor again! ”

And Bao Yulian on the side was unhappy. Qi Meifeng smiled when she saw it: "Sister Yulian, now that you are not in the army, you don't have to worry about your identity being exposed." You've also restored your daughter's outfit! ”

Bao Yulian looked at Zhu Youzhen expectantly. Zhu Youzhen couldn't bear to brush her upset, and nodded with a smile. Bao Yulian was overjoyed and went into the house to change her clothes, and when she came out again, she really looked like a peach blossom, and she deliberately applied some rouge gouache on her face, competing with Qi Meifeng, each with its own merits.

Zhu Youzhen was very happy in his heart, and immediately took Ermei and swaggered into the Mongolian bazaar. Along the way, passers-by cast envious glances at Zhu Youzhen, and I don't know why two delicate flowers were actually inserted on his lump of cow dung.

Zhu Youzhen and others walked into the bazaar only to find that it was not only Mongolians who set up stalls here, but also many Han Chinese. The goods sold are also dazzling, ranging from daily necessities such as grain, rice, salt, and tea, to exquisite porcelain, unique handicrafts, as well as religious and cultural items such as Buddha statues and books.

The merchants who sold the goods were also from the south to the north, including people from Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong who were relatively close, as well as people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who spoke Wuyin soft language, and even merchants from Fujian and Guangzhou, who spoke a language that no one could understand, but just gestured with their hands to indicate how much silver the goods were sold for.

The Mongols are so fond of these things from the Central Plains that they often buy all the goods in the stall with a wave of their hand. And they are also extremely good at bargaining, using stiff Chinese, little by little to bargain, until the stall owner refuses to lower a copper plate, only then contentedly roll up the big bags and return with a full load.

And what the Mongols sell, the variety is much simpler. In addition to live animals such as cattle, sheep, horses, and camels, there are also special products such as furs and snuff bottles. There are also some stalls, specializing in the eagles on the grassland, those flat-haired beasts fluttering their strong and powerful wings, staring at Zhu Youzhen with round eyes, glaring at Zhu Youzhen angrily, so frightened that this goods can only go around from a distance.

Of course, girls like Qi Meifeng and Bao Yulian like each other like all kinds of clothes and all kinds of cosmetics. In addition to the traditional costumes of the Han people, there are also costumes with Mongolian characteristics.

Zhu Youzhen's childlike heart rose, and he picked out two of the most gorgeous costumes and asked Qi Meifeng and Bao Yulian to wear them on the spot.

I saw Qi Meifeng wearing a pointed hat with a few beautiful feathers stuck in the top of the hat; He wears a crimson cardigan with a golden belt tied around his waist, the body of the robe is split high from the waist down, and the neckline and cuffs are embroidered with fine needles and threads, and various small flowers are embroidered. After such a dress, Qi Meifeng suddenly turned into a Mongolian girl, and under the light of the noon sun, she looked particularly heroic.

And Bao Yulian's outfit is different. She wore a flat-capped round hat with long ribbons around the edges of the hat that hung down to her plump breast; Wearing a royal blue robe, and a pure white mink shoulder on the upper body, it looks both graceful and luxurious, and extremely charming.

Zhu Youzhen himself also picked out a Mongolian outfit to wear. I saw that he wore a pointed round hat with red tassels on the brim; He wears a purple robe with many white circular ornaments embroidered on it. He straddled a short knife for decoration at his waist, and carried a short bow and quiver behind him, giving him the appearance of a Mongolian herding boy.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed. These three sets of clothes cost Zhu Youzhen nearly 100 taels of silver, which made the Mongolian man who sold the clothes couldn't help but smile, feeling that he had finally slaughtered a wronged man.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care, thinking that as long as he could make the two beauties smile, it would be worth spending twice as much money!

The three of them walked forward in new clothes, drank a large bowl of milk tea, listened to the melodious horse-head qin, and enjoyed the elegant top bowl dance, but they still felt unfinished and lingered. Suddenly, at the largest yurt in front of him, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and Zhu Youzhen said with great interest: "Let's go, see what is being sold, why is it so lively!" ”

The three of them struggled to squeeze into the crowd and looked at each other, but they couldn't help but change their faces.

It turned out that within the crowd, a platform was set up high on the ground. On top of the platform, a thick and long wooden stake was nailed. And on top of the stake, there was a young woman who was not an inch!

Zhu Youzhen saw that the woman was about the same age as Qi Meifeng, about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was tall, blonde and blue-eyed, neither Han nor Mongolian, but a Russian from a previous life.

At this moment, her arms were hung high and tightly tied above her head. She hung her head down, her blonde hair scattered messily across her chest, covering her towering breasts. As for the rest of her body, there was nothing to cover, so she had to clamp her legs tightly to avoid the greedy eyes of the audience.

It is not yet the first month, and it is the time when the spring is cold. The girl shivered incessantly, not only because she could not resist the bitter cold wind, but also because she was so frightened that she was like a lamb to the slaughter.

Qi Meifeng and Bao Yulian are both women, and they have been strictly constrained by poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and religion since childhood. Even if Qi Meifeng shows up in the army all day long, in front of men, she protects herself tightly and never dares to leak a trace of spring.

At this time, in broad daylight, they suddenly saw this alien woman being stripped naked, making hundreds of men around them point fingers and insult from time to time, they felt the same way, and immediately felt ashamed and angry, their faces turned blue, and they almost ran away.

Zhu Youzhen was also surprised: Could it be that in this era, there are already glamorous dance performances? But looking at this situation, it doesn't seem like it, the woman on the stage is obviously forced, but it seems to be a commodity for sale.

At this moment, a Mongolian man in his forties flew up to the stage and shouted in a rough voice in stiff Chinese: "Distinguished guests, welcome to my yurt!" May the Eternal Heaven bless you all! Let me introduce myself first, my name is Timur, and I am the butler of the patriarch of the Duoyan Great Tabu Bag! ”

"What do you mean by all that grunt?" Zhu Youzhen was a little confused by the second monk.

A Han businessman next to him wanted to show off his knowledge of the Mongols, and while looking at the alien woman on the stage, he drooled, and said triumphantly: "You don't even know this? Duoyan, that is, Duoyan, was attached to the founding of our dynasty. Taizu set up Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu three guards in his hometown, which were later collectively called Duoyan three guards. At the time of Jingjing, Duoyan Sanwei contributed a lot, so Emperor Chengzu gave Sanwei and other places such as Daning outside the Great Wall and allowed them to graze.

"Tabu Bag is a title that can only be possessed by the patriarch of the family who intermarried with the Mongolian Golden Family, which is similar to the meaning of 'prince' when we say it. Do you know about the Golden Family? Forgive me for not knowing at such a young age, the descendants of Genghis Khan are called the Golden Family! Don't look at Mongolia, which has fallen since I went to Dingding Central Plains, but Genghis Khan's great name is still circulating in the steppe, which tribe can marry the golden family, that is a great honor!

"He is the largest clan in the current Duoyan Clan. If you talk about the ancestral traceability, there were four famous generals under Genghis Khan's account, known as the 'Four Dogs', who followed him to fight in the east and west, and bravely won the three armies. They are Jebe, Subutai, Zhele, and Kublai, and the one of them is Lelu, that is, the ancestor of their clan. ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen understand that it turned out that Duoyan, Tabu Nang, and Zhele were three words, and he thought it was one word.

At this time, Timur shouted loudly on the stage again: "This time I came to Zunhua, and the patriarch said: Every time we buy more and more things from the Han people, and the Han people buy less and cheaper things from us. If we continue like this, won't we be going to die of poverty? So this time, we also brought precious goods! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the woman behind him: "It's her!" ”
