In this feast, the easiest to eat is undoubtedly Xia Xun.
The leaders of the various tribes and clans in Dunhuang paid far more attention to the current situation than Xia Xun.
They live in Dunhuang, where their glory and wealth come from, and they do not want a powerful and destructive force to come here and cause irreparable damage to their homeland.
But now that the Timurid Empire and the Ming Empire are about to fight, they can not control the war, and their homeland has become a battlefield again, so they must find an object to rely on between these two powerful forces.
Originally, they were located in the border area of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's special restraint policy did little damage to their inherent rights and interests, and they were willing to attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty, but it was precisely because of this free identity of half ministers and half guests, so once the Timur army arrived, in order to protect themselves, they took refuge in Timur, and there was no psychological barrier.
However, with Xia Xun's words, they couldn't help but consider their attitudes carefully.
It's hard to make wall grass Defecting to Timur, they will inevitably be driven by Timur to rush to the front line and fight against the Ming, so once Timur is defeated and retreats to Samarkand, how can the Ming not settle their crimes If they defected to the Ming Dynasty, now the Auxiliary Guogong has already expressed his attitude, it is impossible for the Ming army to give up the Xiongguan Pass and not defend it, and run into the desert to fight with Timur, then they will either retreat into the desert to fight guerrilla attacks with Timur, or they will have to retreat to Jiayu Pass and accept the protection of the Ming army, in this process, their cavalry will inevitably accept the command of the Ming court and participate in the battle.
In short, no matter which side they throw towards, they will not want to sit on the sidelines in the collision of the two major armed groups of the East and the West, and it is certain that they will participate in the war, and now it only depends on which side they choose to defect to.
Therefore, what they are most concerned about now is whether the Ming Dynasty's force is really as strong as Xia Xun said, and whether it is enough to fight against the cripple emperor who has not tasted defeat so far.
Compared with Xia Xun, who is shrewd and calm, these two guys don't seem to be able to keep secrets.
They took turns toasting and chatting with Saihazhi and Wind Split, trying every means to get the news they wanted to know from their mouths, and confirming everything Xia Xun had revealed.
In this banquet, they were more tired than anyone else.
The desert is falling, and it is golden.
The banquet was dispersed, and as the most distinguished guest, Xia Xun was arranged in Kunji's mansion.
This residence is a courtyard of reading power, only this courtyard covers an area of more than ten acres, but the courtyard in winter is not very good-looking, most of the places are empty land, perhaps in the spring and summer season, here the flowers are red and green, the late autumn is fruitful, full of beautiful pastoral scenery, and at this time it only gives people a sense of desolation.
There are not many buildings in the yard, the exterior wall is mostly mud, the main passage from the front yard is very long, the whole passage is covered with grape trellises, from a distance, the side covered with snow is reflected by the sun into a piece of gold, as if countless entangled golden snakes, once you go to the bottom, look up but dry branches from the outside, this is an ordinary farm, but into the interior, it is a different scene, the curtain mat, all are precious from the north, south, east and west, furniture, furnishings, antiques, jade, The various furnishings are also extremely luxurious, but there is no trace of cheesiness in the magnificence, which is really unique.
Tang Sai'er sat on the kang edge of Xia Xun's room, with a plate of preserved fruits on his lap, and his two calves were enjoying himself, the door curtain was lifted, Xia Xun walked in, Sai'er was overjoyed, immediately put down the fruit plate, and ran over happily: "Godfather" Xia Xun smiled and touched her head and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Tang Sai'er said: "I've eaten it, but it's not fun to eat alone." ” Xia Xun snorted and said, "If you and your godfather are asked to go to that intrigue banquet, you will find it even more boring." ” He walked to the side of the kang and sat down, Tang Sai'er climbed onto the bed with his hands and feet, took the plate of preserved fruits, picked out an agate-colored preserved date from the candied fruit plate, held it with two fingers, and handed it to Xia Xun's mouth like a treasure: "Godfather, you taste it, it's sweet."
Xia Xun smiled and accepted the filial piety of his goddaughter, patted her little buttocks and said, "Good, while sitting, godfather still has something to do."
As she spoke, Celine and Jeanna, who had already changed their dance clothes, walked in and bowed to Xia Xun Yingying: "Master" Xia Xun said: "Sit down, just now at the table, you have heard the identity of those people."
Now, tell me what you know about them and their family. ” The two women looked at each other and asked them to sing and dance to entertain people, which was a skill that they had learned since childhood, and now they were sitting so seriously in front of the master to consult his big affairs, the two of them were a little at a loss, and they didn't know where to start.
When Xia Xun saw it, he couldn't help laughing: "Don't be nervous, just talk about family life."
You don't have to deliberately filter what you can say and what you can't say, what people you say first and then what people, as long as you have heard and seen, no matter how big or small, official or private, you can say whatever comes to mind, maybe any sentence will be of great use."
Encouraged by this, the two girls had courage, Xi Lin thought for a while, and said happily: "Ah master, the slave maid thought of one, that is, the Ying Zhan who sat in the fourth position on the right, at the beginning, the two slave and maid sisters were bought back by Lord Ying Zhan from Beshi Bali, and I know a little about the situation of his family." ” "Win the battle, you can talk about it" Ying Zhan quietly flashed into a courtyard.
In the room, a dressing table with a simple pattern, a glazed porcelain orchid lamp in the corner of the table, the open petals are the place where the lamp oil is placed, the stamens inside are the wicks, and the top is covered with a gauze-like lampshade, bright and soft light, reflecting a young woman in evening clothes.
She was wearing a translucent nightgown with a thin waist and convex breasts, bright and charming, and was sitting lazily in front of the dressing table and unloading her makeup.
There are all kinds of precious jewelry on the dressing table, hairpin and bracelets, the materials are gold and silver pearls, gems and jade, all of them are treasures, any one is taken out, to the largest jewelry in Jinling City to sell, can be worth hundreds of thousands, but now they are only thrown on the table at will.
On the opposite side, there is a clear and clear bronze ancient mirror, in which a beautiful face is reflected.
From behind, her gourd-like figure is concave and convex, with delicate curves, the buttocks are taut and tulle, the plump and pink buttocks reveal a looming flesh color under the tulle, and there is a tempting glute groove in the middle, which is intoxicating.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands put on her shaved shoulders, and then slid onto her full breasts, and the young woman only turned around, and the lips were lightly kissed, and the man succeeded in stealing incense, and he smiled and moved away, and she saw that it was her husband.
The young woman sneered lightly: "I don't wash up my mouthful of wine."
What are you doing in someone's room tonight?"
Ying Zhan is a huge rich man in the northwest, and naturally there will be no shortage of women around him, but no matter how many women he has, there are a number of legal wives, and now Ying Zhan has only married three wives.
The Central Plains has practiced the system of polyandry and multiple concubines since ancient times, except for a few powerful figures out of the need for political alliances, and occasionally there will be one or two big wives, most of the families are monoandries and multiple concubines, while Ying Zhan is a Muslim, but he can marry a four-room wife.
However, their polygamy is conditional, and they must treat all wives equally, whether in love or material, without favoring one over the other.
Material can be quantified, how to reflect the depth of affection can only be reflected in the same room with his wife, he can't just stay in a wife's room for a long time because he loves her.
Tonight, he should not have stayed in this wife's room, which is why this beautiful young woman had such a question.
Ying Zhan sighed softly, pulled Jin Dun over and sat down next to her, first sniffed the aroma on her body with fascination, and then said: "Talk to you and leave, you know, when I have something on my mind, I just want to tell you." ” "Hmm" The beautiful young woman smiled at him in the mirror, Ying Ying stood up, walked aside, and took out a wine glass carved from the cabinet made of mutton fat and jade, the wine glass was as colored as mutton fat, the texture was fine, and the wall of the cup was as thin as an eggshell, and it was also a very valuable thing.
She took out a goose-necked and pot-bellied Baoyu wine bottle, poured a glass of grape wine, came back and handed it to her husband, sat down beside him, and said gently, "What's wrong?"
Ying Zhan turned the wine glass in his hand, and said with a heavy heart: "Miao Yi, you know, our family is a Dunhuang family, and the family has a big business."
"Hmm," the beautiful young woman stared at her husband with sparkling eyes, and listened to him.
Miaoyi Ten years have passed, and the little girl who used to be innocent, likes to read books, and likes to listen to the stories of talented and beautiful women, has now become a charming young woman, her body is mature, round and jade, and her innocent and lively surname has also become gentle and introverted.
In ten years, the head of the city has changed the banner of the king, and the land of the Central Plains has changed three emperors; Ten years, the King of Qi who has a good face in Qingzhou City is still very good-looking, and the former pharmacist Sun family has already changed the court of others, who would have thought that the family and the woman who had been discussed all over the city at the beginning had married a merchant woman and came to the far west, just in Yangguan.
Yun Zhan said: "Timur led the army to the east, I originally thought, it is none of our business, if he really comes, I will send some rice, cattle and sheep to reward his army, with my identity as a Mongol and the identity of a believer in Allah, it is enough to keep our family safe."
However, two male lions are fighting, how can others be allowed to watch, now, the Ming Fuguo Gong is also here, listening to his words today, I began to feel that I was too naïve, don't lose the trip of eight miles, I am hesitating whether to go, alas, this Yang Xu, amazing. ” Miao Yi was listening to him quietly, but when he heard him say the name "Yang Xu", he couldn't help but be shocked, and his face was pale, and he said in surprise: "What Yang Xu" To be continued:
