Not to mention Aunt Cui's collection, favors and rewards from the palace, over the years, Ye Zhenzhen has also collected a lot of rare treasures. Although most of them are gathering dust in the warehouse, she took them out this time as a treasure.
Apologizing is also very uncomfortable.
After picking up a few things that I didn't like, Zhou Xunting, who had sent someone to invite him, also came - Prince Batu did not bring his female family members to the capital this time. Due to emotional reasons, she could not even come to the house to apologize in person.
But this time Cui Weizhen was not in Beijing, so she could only ask Zhou Xunting to go with her.
Before Cui Weizhen left Beijing, he entrusted Zhou Xunting to look after the entire Cui family. This time, Ye Zhenzhen was in love, so he came up without hesitation. After Ningyan learned about it, she also followed to keep Ye Zhenzhen company.
It has to be said that the moment she saw Chu Ningyan, Ye Zhenzhen felt a little at ease. It was better to have someone by her side than to fight alone.
The Uighurs lived in the house used to entertain foreign guests in Honglu Temple. The house was located at the foot of the imperial city. Not only the Uighurs lived in it, but also envoys from other countries lived there.
The economy and culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty were developed, and the surrounding small countries sent a large number of envoys to learn the advanced culture and technology of the Great Zhou Dynasty every year. Therefore, the house was inhabited all year round and was very lively. The arrival of Ye Zhenzhen and others attracted the attention of many people.
They went straight to the Huihe courtyard with generous gifts, and some well-informed envoys almost understood their purpose.
"Are you here to retrieve the He people? They haven't come back yet."
A messenger from Dashi reminded him in the yard next door. Ye Zhenzhen and others went over to take a look and saw that General Tie was guarding the door in the yard. Sure enough, no one was there.
Zhou Xunting had a familiar personality. He went over to inquire with the envoys and soon learned the routine of the Huihe people. At this time, they should still be hanging out in shops and taverns outside, and it would take about an hour to come back.
One hour.
Ye Zhenzhen frowned, it seemed like she still had to wait.
Fortunately, this food envoy was good at talking, and he had gained a lot of knowledge from traveling all over the country over the years. He talked very enthusiastically to Ye Zhenzhen and others about his legendary experiences over the years, which also killed time.
They listened with great interest, and an hour passed quickly. Suddenly there was a noise outside. The food messenger who was talking incessantly stopped immediately, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said with certainty: "It must be Uighur."
When people come back, they make a lot of noise every time."
Ye Zhenzhen and others walked out and saw a group of burly and muscular Uighurs approaching from a distance. They talked loudly, laughed loudly, and carried a lot of things on their hands or shoulders, as if the devils were coming into the village.
The ground was cleaned up.
When the food envoy saw this, he said in a sour tone: "These Uighurs are so thick-skinned and don't understand any etiquette, justice or shame. Your Majesty saw that they were guests from afar, and ordered the adults of Honglu Temple to entertain them well. Instead, they were greedy, and every time they went out
They have to buy a bunch of things, including silks and satins, jewelry and jades, tea, rice, oil, salt, etc., just like poor relatives coming to play swings."
The Dashi envoy had lived in the Great Zhou Dynasty for a long time, and was very influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, so he was very disdainful of the Uighur people's behavior. Of course, it seemed that it contained a lot of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The Uighurs quickly approached, with Prince Batu walking at the front. He was chatting and laughing with his subordinates and suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Ye Zhenzhen, his blue eyes narrowed with interest.
.
"Mrs. Cui, when did you come? Why didn't someone send me a message? You must have been waiting for a long time."
Batu, whether intentionally or not, got very close. Ye Zhenzhen took a few steps back and saluted in a humble manner: "I don't know that you are the prince of Batu. I have offended you many times before, so I came here to apologize. Please also ask your Excellency.
Forgive me."
"Mrs. Cui, is your natal brother here?"
Batu rolled his eyes and laughed enthusiastically: "There is a saying in the Central Plains, it is said that it is a joy to have friends come from afar. This is what I just learned today. Mrs. Cui came to see me specially today, and you are free of charge.
We have been waiting for a long time, why not go into the courtyard and talk in detail."
At this time, Zhou Xunting stepped forward, quietly stepped in between them, and said: "Prince Batu, you're welcome. It's getting late, so we won't waste your time any more. We've come here specifically to apologize. This time
It's a small gift, it's not a sign of respect, so please accept it."
Seeing Zhou Xunting, Batu showed hostility in his eyes and asked rudely: "Who are you? Cui Weizhen?"
"This is my husband-in-law!"
Chu Ningyan could tell at a glance that Batu was not a good guy, she stood up with an angry look and said rudely: "They say that men on the grassland are open-minded and generous. Why does Prince Batu's mother-in-law have to act like a sissy? Today the Ye family has
Those two blind things have offended you. Madam Cui has already handed the person over to the government and locked him up. It’s time for you to get angry. Is Prince Batu still holding on to him?"
Previously, Prince Batu's attention was all on Ye Zhenzhen, and he didn't notice that there was a woman standing next to him who was as beautiful as her. Now when he saw that she was covered in thorns, proud and bright, his heart moved again, and his eyes sparkled.
Guang asked: "Madam is so angry, do you dare to ask her her name?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
Chu Ningyan: "..."
Does this Prince of Batu have any special hobbies?
Even a clay figure couldn't bear being teased about his wife in front of his face. What's more, Zhou Xunting had long been dissatisfied with the Batu prince. Seeing that he actually deceived his friend's wife and wanted to get his hands on his wife,
Suddenly, he was filled with rage and punched him.
Prince Batu didn't pay attention to the men of the Central Plains at all. In his opinion, the men of the Central Plains were so slender that they could be broken by a gust of wind. Their physiques were not as strong as the women of his tribe, so they were not to be feared at all.
Therefore, he did not expect that the other party would dare to take action and hit him. He was immediately ashamed and angry. With red eyes, he pulled out the saber on his body and sneered: "You are looking for death!"
Ye Zhenzhen did not expect this development and was immediately shocked. Prince Batu saw that he was very skilled in martial arts and had experienced hundreds of battles. Even ten Zhou Xuntings were not enough to fight him, and she and Chu Ningyan were not able to help him.
, and had no choice but to beg for help from the equally strong Food Messenger to stop the fight.
The food envoy was very happy to earn this favor, but he also saw that the Huihe people didn't like it, so he raised his arms and a group of companions rushed out and rescued Zhou Xunting from Batu's sword. The two groups started to confront each other.
Seeing that his enemy had been robbed, Batu was furious and stared at the food envoy with a sinister gaze: "Do you people, the food people, want to be my enemy in Uighur?"
Dashi is also a big country, and has no fear of Uighurs. He said with great disdain: "You Uighurs are nothing. Just because His Majesty the Zhou Dynasty asks for something, you just slap your nose on his face. It's too ugly. Isn't it just a few hundred war horses?"
