Half an hour later, Xie Ruzhuo and Shen Ci went out together to find Zhabusu for a meal. Shen Ci's messy hair was tied up again with a small jade crown. Xie Ruzhuo was very satisfied with this. His family, General Shen, was not only capable of fighting, but also He can also wash, cook and bundle hair, but he can't find it even with a lantern.

Arriving at the place where the Wuliangha people live together, the two people's greatest insight is that although the Beidi people have different levels, the difference is not obvious.The chariots and horses of the nobles among the Han people can only be seen by ordinary people from a distance, and the royal palace is even more inaccessible. Surrounded by high red walls, it is mysterious and solemn.But obviously this is not the case on the grasslands. The harsh geographical climate has made them used to living in groups. The nobles just live in a more spacious and beautiful Burger Court, and when they go out, they all ride horses on the grasslands with ordinary people. , shoot goshawks, fight wolves.

In the Central Plains, scholars, farmers, businessmen, commoners and nobles are all distinct classes. Everyone seems to be born with a clear understanding of where they should be, what they do and what etiquette they perform, and they cannot be easily crossed. Strict regulations, such as taking the imperial examination, are the easiest leap from civilian to official.

It seems that in the eyes of the Han people, the family and the country are both exquisite and rigid big houses. Whether each person should be an inconspicuous nail, or the pillars and beams that support the house, everyone has his own ruler in his heart , step by step, live and move around in an orderly manner in the house, and no one can violate the rules.

But Beidi people obviously don't think that their home and country are also a well-designed house. Maybe they all fantasize that they are eagles soaring under the blue sky and galloping horses on the grassland.Since a hundred years ago, Beidi people have also learned the "rules" that the Han people said, but many Beidi people probably don't know what these "rules" mean, and what is the meaning of following them. They prefer to follow the rules left by their ancestors. Use the most primitive rules to solve all problems.

Muren came out to meet them. He had a broad forehead, high cheekbones, and a burly figure. He had a typical Beidi appearance. His face was stern and somewhat fierce. Seeing them looking at a lively place, he explained to them in jerky Central Plains Mandarin: "The birth of a newborn child on the grassland is a big event. When a boy is born, a bow and arrow will be hung in front of Buer Pavilion, and a girl will be hung with red silk. Everyone will congratulate them when they see it. That is the most powerful thing in our Wuliangha tribe. Darhan, his wife bore him a second son."

Xie Ruzhuo raised his hand to cover the glare of the midday sun, and saw a small but solid and exquisite Buer Pavilion, and there was indeed a bow and arrow hanging at the door, and asked, "What does Darhan mean?"

"It's what you Han people say..." Muren seemed to be trying to find a suitable word from the poor Chinese vocabulary, frowning and searching for a suitable word, but it seemed simple and honest, and it took a long time to finally think of a word, "Yes Yes, he is a craftsman who knows how to build houses. He also built the fourth prince’s Burger Court.”

Xie Ruzhuo suddenly realized, glanced at Buer Pavilion where Zhabusu lived, and praised: "It's very beautiful, not inferior to the skilled craftsmen in the Central Plains."

The slave guarding the gate knelt on the ground and saluted them. He had dark skin, deep eyes, and a high nose. He looked like a Qiang. Xie Ruzhuo remembered that last year Zabusu said that he was the one who went out with Yild to defeat the Qiang.

The Beidi people will never treat the captives kindly. The tribes conquered by them, the men who are higher than Chejia will be killed directly, and the remaining children will be taken as slaves, and the thumbs of both hands will be cut off so that they can no longer pull Bow archery.

Xie Ruzhuo glanced at this Qiang slave who was about the same age as Xie Mingting, and the thumbs of both hands were cut off, thinking that this is really a simple but cruel method.

Walking into the spacious Buer Pavilion, Zabusu wore a more delicate navy blue robe than he wore under the armor that day, with narrow sleeves, puffed shoulders and a wide lapel, a circle of cloud patterns around the neck, and a few small braids of hair , it made his appearance that is biased towards the Han people a lot rougher, and his usual politeness has also turned into an admirable nobleness. He smiled and nodded to him as a salute: "Your Majesty's illness is cured? Looks really good. gone."

Xie Ruzhuo pulled Shen Ci to sit together in the guest seat on the left, nodded and said, "Thank you fourth prince, I'm fine now. We Han people say that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring, so naturally we must repay the fourth prince well this time."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite." Zhabusu smiled kindly, "When will the 10 taels of silver note be returned to me?"

Xie Ruzhuo: "..."

"Talking about money hurts feelings." Xie Ruzhuo smiled more kindly than him, "I will definitely pay it back. We Han people are very trustworthy. But if there is no money, even if there is no money, I can't change it. If the fourth prince doesn't believe it, I can do it." You are invited to visit our treasury."

The emperor of Dayu cried poor when he met for the first time, and said that he had no money when he met for the second time. Zhabusu didn't know if every emperor in the Central Plains was like this.

"Okay." Zhabusu said, "It's been a year since I borrowed it. Should I charge some monthly interest?"

"It's easy to say, two cents per month." Xie Ruzhuo rolled his eyes, "How is the fourth prince's business doing this year?"

Zhabusu had an intuition that something was wrong, so he quickly shook his head: "Not good, very bad."

When it comes to acting, Xie Ruzhuo said that no one dares to be the number one when he is number two, so don't try to fool him, and said, "Borrow another [-]."

Zhabusu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I saved you this time and treated you well. What's the point of having to collect a sum of money before leaving?"

"Oh, there is no way, who made us poor in Dayu." Other face can't be lost, but poverty can be admitted, Xie Ruzhuo said with a sad face, "I also know about the business route opened last time, and the people of Dayu and Beidi like it. , I can open one more, or two more, and I plan to try to loosen the border trade in Cangzhou in the near future. It’s easy to do things if you have money, what do you think, fourth prince?”

"Cangzhou? Your Majesty finally wants to deal with Pei Yuankai? Then my father Khan will be very happy." Zhabusu didn't ask any more questions, but instead said, "You Han people like to sign contracts when doing business. After all, things like credit don't seem to work very well." , isn’t it good for His Majesty to speak empty words?”

"Okay, I can write to you right now." Xie Ruzhuo seemed to be easy to talk to, "but first take out the money, pay the money with one hand, and pay the contract with the other."

Zhabusu felt that the worst creditor in the world should be himself, and commented: "If your Majesty does business, he must be a profiteer."

"So you are lucky that I didn't do business, otherwise it would be your turn to earn so much." Xie Ruzhuo was quite pleased with this evaluation, "It's a pity, if I didn't get exhausted from arguing with the cabinet every day, I would also secretly do business. "

Zhabusu ordered the waiter to serve goat's milk, red wormwood tea, and wine made from milk called "Darisi", as well as milk skin, dried cheese, fried rice and Moshi. The only vegetarian dishes were green vegetables, and said: " Eat first, tomorrow I will pay His Majesty some money, and His Majesty will make a deed for me, how about it?"

"Okay, I'll be leaving tomorrow." Xie Ruzhuo picked up a chopstick and didn't miss it. When he found that it was dry fried noodles, he put it down again, "You should also eat more vegetarian dishes, otherwise it will be bad for your health."

Zhabusu said: "Many vegetables here can't be grown alive. It's not as fertile as your Central Plains land. The green vegetables are still learned from your Central Plains people. They used to eat wild vegetables."

Xie Ruzhuo thought to himself: It's really miserable, he chooses to die because he drinks milk and eats beef and mutton every day.

Seeing that Shen Ci had been sitting quietly by the side, Zhabusu said: "When I heard that Pei Yuankai retired from the war, my father was happy all night, but later I heard that Pei Yuankai had a son who came to guard Cangzhou, and he was as difficult to deal with as Pei Yuankai. Father Khan cursed again. I didn't go to the front line this time, but I also guessed that the man was General Shen. I heard that General Shen defeated Xu Zishen last year and took back half of Hengchuan. Back then, His Majesty said you were a good general of Dayu, Now it seems to be true." After finishing speaking, he added, "I checked General Shen after I came back last time, and it was easy to know that you are Pei Yuankai's son, General Shen is not angry, right?"

Shen Ci has a deep understanding of himself, and he is not good at anything except fighting, so Xie Ruzhuo talks with outsiders about things that need to be resourceful. As long as the atmosphere is harmonious, he will not interrupt, for fear of disturbing Xie Ruzhuo's plan. Busu called his own name again, and then said: "I'm not angry. It seems that everyone knows about this matter. If you want to be angry, you won't be able to get angry. Also, the fourth prince won the prize, and the fight with Xu Zishen is often just luck." Well, Xu Zishen is actually better than me."

"If you say that, then I should be thankful that I saved His Majesty, otherwise, wouldn't it be really difficult to fight Xu Zishen in the future?" Zhabusu said with a smile, "General Shen doesn't need to be humble, just because you are weak. If you killed the team of cavalry I sent out by yourself, I believe you are as difficult to deal with as Pei Yuankai."

Xie Ruzhuo looked contemptuous of "you just discovered it", held up Darisi, who smelled bad, and said: "So the fourth prince should lend me money, we live in harmony, and avoid encountering us in the battlefield in the future." General."

Shen Ci pinched Xie Ruzhuo's fingers under the table with a smile, but he had no choice but to toast with him, and toasted Zhabusu. Darisi had a rich and mellow aroma, both milk and wine, and he thought it was quite delicious , but seeing Xie Ruzhuo frowning slightly, he silently suppressed this thought.

Seems to have discovered a problem, Xie Ruzhuo doesn't like to eat things that taste like milk.

But the milk-flavored Xie Ruzhuo is cute and delicious.

Just when Xie Ruzhuo wondered why there were no meat dishes, three people came in with three large plates of meat, and knelt down on one knee facing them, holding a small cutting knife in their right hand and a cloth towel in their left hand. Zabusu ordered something in Beidi language, and the three of them gathered Qi responded, pointed the blade of the small knife at himself, held the handle of the knife, put three large plates of meat on the plate in front of the guests, cut all the meat into pieces of the same size and thickness, and put it away. Back off with a salute.

Xie Ruzhuo frowned slightly again. The three plates of meat were saccharomyces of beef, sheep, and pig. Even if they were cut into nine pieces, they were still bigger than the meat he usually ate. It can be grasped by hand, and these meats are all cooked together, which is completely different from the exquisite cooking of the Han people, and the smell of beef and mutton can still be smelled.

Zhabusu explained: "This is Buhul, which is the highest etiquette for our Beidi people to entertain distinguished guests. The three animal Buhul is even more complete. It is different from the way the Han people eat it, but please enjoy it, Your Majesty. It is actually quite delicious. of."

As a guest, of course, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't refuse. He smiled politely and expressed his thanks. He picked up the cloth towel and put it on his hand, and took a small bite of the mutton in front of him. It tasted better than he expected, although it smelled mutton , but the meat is delicious, salty and light, and it smells better after eating.

Shen Ci saw that Xie Ruzhuosi had finished eating one piece gracefully, and planned to eat another piece, picked up a cloth towel and wiped his mouth naturally, saying: "Drink some tea, or your mouth will dry out."

Xie Ruzhuo felt that the beef seemed to be delicious, so he nodded while chewing, and Shen Ci wiped his mouth calmly, then helped him fill up the red wormwood tea and handed it to his mouth.

Zhabusu, who had witnessed this scene, already understood a little bit in his heart. That day, Shen Ci carried the unconscious Xie Ruzhuo to Buer Pavilion. Regardless of his own injuries, he must wait for Xie Ruzhuo to wake up. The tension and worry in his eyes were really unbearable. It's not like a courtier caring about the emperor, and now the two are acting so naturally and intimately, he smiled, raised his glass and said, "I toast to Your Majesty."

Xie Ruzhuo raised his glass: "What do you respect me for?"

Zhabusu raised his eyebrows: "I wish Your Majesty and General Shen happiness."

Xie Ruzhuo blushed instantly, and smiled stiffly: "...Thank you."

The author has something to say: Zabusu: I wish you happiness

Xiao Xie: Talking about it is not enough, bring me the money quickly!

Zabusu: ...

Xiao Xie: Poverty is revealed in a smile
