Chapter 427 Communication
When Elder Shan found him, he naturally talked about going to Suijin Town to pick up the bride and complained about the maids sent from the capital.
It is said that those women are useless except for their faces that can serve men.
I can't ride a horse, I can't hurry on the road, and the car is still dawdling on the road.
Song Liyun was embarrassed and annoyed that he saw through her thoughts: "Who is jealous? When your mother wants to reward you with a maid to serve you, you will not be happy to accept her.
Don't worry, the nanny sent by the garrison lady taught me a lot about the etiquette of being a wife, which is to be magnanimous."
A wife should not be jealous and should manage the inner household for her husband.
In the final analysis, it is just a trivial matter of concubines, maids, legitimate sons and illegitimate sons.
Song Liyun recalled what she said at the garrison, and how she was scolded by Garrison Zhao as "unfaithful to her husband."
Although Aunt Xu said she would not make things difficult for Song Liyun, she also had a job to do.
Although she is nominally a governess, she still has to say what needs to be said.
It's just that she was sent from the palace, but she was mentioned as the garrison's wife in every way. I don't know who meant to tell me not to be a jealous woman.
Speaking of taking a concubine, Zhao Tingduo snorted twice: "How dare I! You even forgot what you said, but I still remember that taking a concubine will get you beaten!"
This was a reference to what he had said at the Hecheng Garrison.
Song Liyun blushed a little: "You ask even though you know the answer. If you really want to take a concubine, who cares?"
She was not a shrew, and she was just talking at the time. Zhao Tingduo had already expressed his opinion, and she must have the opportunity to speak frankly.
However, although she spoke frankly at this time, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
In the garrison, the two concubines were given by Zhao Tinglei.
He is just the eldest brother, and Zhao Tingduo can refuse based on tribal rules.
Besides, he had just made a contribution, so even if he was rude, Zhao Shoubei could not cross the river and demolish the bridge.
But now it’s different. These maids use their own names on the road, and when they arrive at the tribe they become Madam Uya’s slaves.
If Madam wanted to give these women who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting to Zhao Tingduo, I really had no reason to object.
She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart in Suijin Town, and finally when Zhao Tingduo did not come for a long time, Song Liyun decided not to get married.
Women! Once you get serious, how can you still think calmly?
Although Song Liyun said those words out of anger, she was still showing her weakness.
Zhao Tingduo put down the teacup and sighed: "It seems that you won't believe anything I say now."
Song Liyun didn't say anything and just looked at him.
Zhao Tingduo grinned, then suddenly leaned over, whispered in her ear, and said in a low voice: "I only like you!"
Those maids were given by his father. Although they were not suitable, he had no way of returning them as a son should not blame his father.
I have said everything I can say, now I just need to do something to prove it.
Next to her, Madam Yun began to cough violently.
Normally, a couple who have not yet married cannot see each other, but they can only be so close under special circumstances.
Halfway through the journey, Zhao Tingduo had already broken the rules by kissing the girl, and now Madam Yun couldn't bear to see Zhao Tingduo act like that again.
"Sir! It's late, and we have to travel tomorrow. It's better for you to get some rest early!"
Zhao Tingduo knew that Madam Yun was trying to get him to leave, so he stood up helplessly and said to Song Liyun, who was smiling, "I'm next door. Just call me if you need anything."
Song Liyun nodded and sent him out. Zhao Tingduo saw that Madam Yun did not follow, so she hurriedly squeezed Song Liyun's hand and said, "Don't talk about going back to Suijin Town again. I don't care about those maids. As long as Abu is here, he will send them to Kara Mountain."
Tomorrow I will take you to meet the tribal leaders. You are the master, and you will recognize him only after meeting him once."
Seeing that he was still trying hard to prove his sincerity, Song Liyun was still a little moved and relieved.
If a man attracts many women, why should he care about other women?
If a man builds his own barriers, he doesn't need to care about other women.
It's not like I can't live without a man. It's really overthinking to start worrying now!
The next day, Zhao Tingduo took Song Liyun to meet the tribal chief.
The tribal leader is still very nervous as he just moved here.
Although the chief was old, he still kowtowed to Song Liyun respectfully and acknowledged him as his master.
Song Liyun didn't even consider how sincere she was.
At least until Zhao Tingduo's military deterrence wears off, these tribes will be obedient.
Song Liyun asked a few questions about the tribe's situation and learned that this small tribe had a population of more than 30 people and was a large family, with the head being also her grandfather.
In addition to the adults, there were five children under the age of ten.
Song Liyun did not give him any food, only two bags of candy and a bag of salt.
Feelings need to be cultivated slowly. You can't give too much at once and make the reward look cheap.
Besides, these supplies are rare on the grassland.
Sure enough, the tribal leader's face was full of surprise, and he thanked Song Liyun again.
With the tribe nearby, Song Liyun no longer took back the space of those wooden houses.
Only the stable and one room were to be given to them for their use, and the rest was to be carefully cared for so that it could be used by anyone on their way.
The chief naturally agreed.
In the next few days, Song Liyun and Zhao Tingduo traveled and visited other surrounding tribes as masters.
Song Liyun also asked about her living conditions and gave her some daily necessities such as salt and tea.
A few days later, when they were walking slowly and were about to reach Kala Mountain, Abu, Aunt Xu and others behind them finally caught up.
Elder Shan said to Abu, who had hurriedly dismounted, with a sullen face, "You bastard, no one has been watching over you these days. You must have become too nervous to even walk.
I'm asking you to escort these delicate women, not to turn you into a woman yourself.
The way you ride your horse looks like you have a goat's follicle between your legs. If you run into a pack of wolves, you'll run for your life, crying for your mother's love!"
"When we get back to the tribe, I'll give you a good beating!"
In the past few days, Elder Shan urged the convoy behind him several times, asking them to catch up quickly.
Finally, Elder Shan got angry and said that if they didn't come up, he would throw them all into the wild to feed the wolves.
If Elder Shan gets angry, Abu, who is in charge of the team, will definitely be the first to be scolded.
Abu was not annoyed by his scolding. He just smiled and said, "Elder, I'd better go see the young master first. You can scold me later!"
He knew he would definitely be punished, so he tried to avoid it for a while. Without waiting for Elder Shan to scold him again, he ran to find Zhao Tingduo who was loading the cart.
Seeing his despicable look, Elder Shan followed behind him and cursed again. When someone in the convoy next to him shouted, he left cursing.
When Song Lingyun saw Abu coming over, he knew that Aunt Xu had arrived, and said to Zhao Tingduo, "Ashi, it's been a few days, you should go see Aunt Xu first!"
Aunt Xu came from the palace, so she had to give face to the Buddha instead of the monk. She was the Empress Dowager's person in the palace, so she had to give her some face.
Zhao Tingduo looked at the overflowing cart in front of him and said helplessly, "This is really taking advantage of others!"
In order to avoid being exposed, Song Liyun had to load the heavy "dowry" back into the cart and drive it to the tribe in front of Aunt Xu and others.
In Zhao Tingduo's eyes, these exquisite furniture and silks were no match for the coarse salt, charcoal and hay from Ayun.
Nanny Xu and her group's convoy was not far away. Everyone had already gotten off the car, and Nanny Xu was waiting nearby with her maid.
So Zhao Tingduo and Song Liyun rode their horses directly over.
