Chapter 441 Lively Market

After Jingli finished speaking, she told Mrs. Ge: "Grandma, let nature take its course. If Uncle Bai really has that intention, he will definitely speak!"

When Mrs. Ge saw what Jing Li said, she was relieved. To be fair, she felt that Bai Changhe was a very good person and he was a good match for the Su family.

Early the next morning, Jingli was woken up by the noise in the village.

"Why is it so noisy?"

Jingli went downstairs and Lan'er had already helped bring breakfast over.

Su Shi was very embarrassed: "What a big deal. It's not like I can't move. I even helped with breakfast!"

Lan'er smiled sweetly: "Grandma and the others are all busy. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll just get it here together!"

Seeing Jingli coming downstairs, Lan'er scooped a bowl of porridge for Jingli and said, "Today is a big market across the street. The traders in the city entered the village early and want to cross the river from us, so naturally there will be some noise!"

Jing Li said "oh" and asked why it was so lively today.

"Then what did Grandma and the others do?"

Bai Changhe came back from outside: "I took a group of young people to help others transport goods across the river!"

"Pfft!" Jing Li almost spit out her rice: "How much does it cost? You're still old enough to help others deliver goods?"

Su Shi said angrily: "You know what? They are all people who came from hard times. Although life is good now, your grandma and the others have no rules in their hearts. They are afraid that one day life will be difficult again!"

"You don't want to let go of even a single coin!"

Only when Jingli and Bai Changhe arrived at the riverside did they truly feel the prosperity of this school.

This year is no better than last year. It’s no longer just the little Cuiniang and a few people having a little fight. Many caravans who heard the news are also trading here.

Many business people in Chang'an City will naturally not miss this great opportunity. After all, Lao Beishan is close, and transactions are not afraid of horse bandits and bandits. It is safe and convenient, which is simply the best thing.

On the pontoon, Wang Li was leading people to deliver the goods to the other side one by one.

Third Aunt Wang and her mother-in-law set up a tea tent by the river. Her little girl was wearing a flower headscarf and was very busy.

"Brother, are you thirsty? Sit down and have a rest. I will definitely send you to the other side!"

"Brother, I see you are sweating profusely. We have iced sour plum soup here. How about I give you a pot to cool off?"

These people all came here early in the morning. In order to get a good seat in advance, many people hit Chang'an City before dawn, or set off from other counties, without having time to eat.

At this time, I happened to be hungry and thirsty, so I sat in the tea shed, eating and drinking tea, while watching the village helpers help transport the goods to the market opposite.

The two old ladies were busy cleaning and wiping the tables and serving tea and water to the guests. They were sweating profusely and didn't even have time to wipe away the sweat.

"I think her business is very good!" Jing Li sighed.

Tie Hua'er disagreed: "Whose business is not good? Every time there is a big gathering like this, the people in the village abandon their work in the fields and come here to make money!"

"Those who help people carry things like Baozi Daddy and the others can run very fast and earn several taels of silver in one day, but they can't equal the harvest of the fields for more than half a year!"

Chef Fan wore a red armband and gave instructions at the riverside: "People should go this way, animals and people with goods should go this way, don't wander around."

"Hey! Hey, what about you, young man, be careful, this is a place where we have rules!"

The young man carrying the goods hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, old man, I took the wrong road for a moment, and I will definitely not do it again in the future!"

Lao Wangtou was working under a thatched hut by the river, and he and several boys were checking the goods that were going to cross the river one by one. Any contraband was confiscated on the spot and reported to the official.If everything is normal with the goods, they will be stamped and released, and the goods will be sent to the other side.

Wang Jinlong led several young people in the village to patrol back and forth. His face, which was usually cheerful and cheerful, was now full of seriousness. If anyone was not convinced, he would have to draw a knife to deal with it.

Seeing Jingli and the others coming over, they just nodded slightly and continued patrolling with others.

Jingli led Bai Changhe and others across the river. The market was already bustling with people. They crowded against the river for a long time before entering the market.

When I entered the market, I discovered that there were not only Dafeng Dynasty and several surrounding tribes in the market, but also Semu people, Tiefu tribe, Wuhuan Xianbei people.

There were even blond and blue-eyed people. I didn’t know which ethnic group they were from, but they came from overseas. This made Jingli very curious. Could it be that some people had already started to go to sea at this time?

"That's a different branch of the Wusun people." Seeing that Jingli looked at the blond and blue-eyed people with some curiosity, Bai Changhe just assumed that Jingli had never seen such people before, and added from the side.

Jingli looked through the geographical records at this time and learned something about the Wusun clan. It was a small country among the 36 countries in the Western Region.

The area is small, but the cultural heritage is very mysterious.

And this Wusun alien lineage is said to be the descendant of one of the princes who fled to the north of Kunlun Mountains to avoid being hunted during the civil strife in the Wusun royal family. He accidentally entered the Moon Pond Holy Land and became a descendant of the Holy Girl. It is called Wusun Yuechi lineage.

In the Wusun Kingdom, it is said that the bloodline of Yuechi is more noble because they are the descendants of the Saint of Yuechi.

North of Kunlun, the Moon Pond exists in legend. After these so-called descendants of the Moon Pond came out, they claimed that the prophet asked them to come back to save the royal court.

As long as the royal court fails to unite the countries in the Western Region, they will not be allowed to return to the Moon Pond Holy Land.

Therefore, the Yuechi lineage is warlike, and they are either at war or on the way to war 360 and five days a year.

From Jingli's point of view, that's not the case. To the north is the Persian territory. This prince obviously married an overseas wife and made up such a bunch of stories to earn a great background for his descendants. .

"What do they want to do here?" Jingli had to be on guard. The people of Yuechi were notoriously warlike, so they wouldn't want to cause trouble here.

Bai Changhe smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything in our place!"

The people of Yuechi are warlike, but they also have a lot of brains. They know that this is the heart of the Central Plains.

The countries in the Western Regions had also heard about Changling King Youshui's great defeat of the Jie clan, but they were not stupid enough to dare to start a war here.

This group of people seemed to be curious about everything they saw. The hands of the entourage behind them were already filled with many bags of various sizes, all of which were purchased items.

"Why are you littering? Didn't you see a few big trash cans over there?" Mrs. Ge pointed at Yuechi and the others and scolded them.

The group of people looked at each other, not knowing whether they understood or not.

Mrs. Ge said impatiently: "I'm talking about you guys. You all look like singing greats. You don't know the rules when you come here!"

At that moment, one of the guards was unwilling: "Old woman, do you know who this person is?"

The guard speaks Chinese very well and his words are eloquent. I think it's not a day or two here.

Mrs. Ge rolled her eyes: "I don't care who you are, I have to abide by the rules here!"

Jing Li was afraid that Mrs. Ge would suffer a loss, so she hurried over with Bai Changhe.

When the leader of the Yuechi people saw Jingli, stars suddenly appeared in their eyes: "Beautiful girl, I would like to swear to the saint and promise you to be my princess, are you willing?"
