Chapter 4 Butterfly Hairpin

The blue waves are vast and boundless.

The ships of Guangzhou Port, Persia, Brahmins, Lion Kingdom, Bone Tang Kingdom, White Barbarians, and Red Barbarians come and go.

Hongge giant ships, thousands of ships, delivered and returned, bustling.

Among foreign ships, the Lion Kingdom has the largest ship, with a gangway up and down, several feet tall, but the largest ship must be the "Yu Niang Ship" of the Tang Dynasty.

There is a proverb now: "Water doesn't carry ten thousand!"

It means that the ship carries goods, and the heaviest cannot exceed 10,000 stones, while the Yu Da Niang ship has more than 10,000 stones. This kind of ship is strong and durable and can withstand huge winds and waves. Therefore, when you see this kind of ship in the port, it may not belong to the Tang people, because many foreign maritime merchants are also buying or renting this kind of Tang sea ship.

On the pier, there are mountains of fruits, vegetables, wheat, barley, sugarcane, silk, porcelain that are ready to be transported or just unloaded...

As soon as a boat was docked, a big food merchant came up and stood at the bow of the boat with the boss of the Kunlun people who had been reunited for a long time and chatted enthusiastically: "Haha, long time no see, Hanubi, didn't you expect that the Tang Empire had changed three emperors within a year, right?"

The dark-skinned Captain Kunlun talked to him using the popular phrase: the Tang Dynasty. Captain Kunlun said: "Yes, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not in good health. The Emperor passed away and the prince ascended the throne. It is natural. But the prince had just ascended the throne, why did he change the emperor again?"

The big sacred man said, "To put it bluntly, this is what happened at the beginning of the year. The emperor passed away, the prince ascended the emperor and changed his reign to the sage. The day after the new emperor ascended the throne, he promoted the queen's father Wei Xuanzhen from a small army to the assassination of Yuzhou. This also made him, after all, the father-in-law, but who knew that just one day later, the emperor wanted to promote him to the Shizhong again.

Hey! I think the queen is not satisfied with her father's position, and the wind blows hard! Who is the Shizhong? That's the prime minister of the dynasty! He Wei Xuanzhen was originally just a group of idle officials, so how could he be at this high position? That's not all, the emperor also planned to promote the nanny's son to a fifth-rank official. This is really a one-man who has achieved enlightenment and has been ascended to heaven.

The Secretariat ordered Pei Yan to refuse to agree and tried hard to advise, but he was unwilling to respond to the order. The emperor was furious and said to Pei Zhongshu: 'What's wrong with me giving the world to Wei Xuanzhen! Why don't you be a servant!" Pei Zhongshu was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly reported to the Queen of Heaven. When the Queen of Heaven heard this, he summoned all civil and military officials, deposed the emperor, and changed the title of King Yu to the new emperor."

As the two were talking, an eight-foot man walked out of the cabin. He was about 30 years old, with two thick eyebrows like ink, cheekbones, curled hair, and whiskers, and thorns. He stretched his waist lazily, and he had just woken up like a napping tiger.

Looking around the lively scene on the pier, the man had a thick eyebrows and smiled suddenly, "What my grandfather said is indeed wrong. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is extraordinary, prosperous and unparalleled! Wait for someone to enter the city to see!"

After the big man said that, he jumped ashore. When the boat boss saw it, he hurriedly left the Dashi merchant and rushed forward to stop him. After hearing his words, the big man said impatiently: "Although I first came, I am proficient in the language of the Tang Dynasty, and I am not familiar with the place! You go to your business and a certain family came here to visit and see the customs and people of the Tang Dynasty!"

He slapped his sword around his waist and said aloud: "One person and one sword will show freedom when coming and going. Don't be noisy anymore! Someone is going to go!"

Not far from the gate of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, A Chou and Niu Niu were begging. It was not easy to get anything in this place, but in order to escape the revenge of the little wolf, they had to avoid the little wolf and easily find their place.

While begging for life, Ah Chou was trying to find a living. He didn't want to be a beggar anymore. He wanted to be a self-supporting person, but even this humble ideal was difficult to realize. Who would hire a ten-year-old child? This child was still a little beggar, and the little beggar also brought a smaller bottle of oil.

Suddenly, the gate of the Guangzhou Governor's Office opened wide. A middle-aged man with wide robe and big sleeves, a tall figure and a handsome middle-aged scholar walked out slowly. There were many servants beside the two, and the show was very grand.

A passerby said, "Look, the person with a hook beard is our governor of Guangzhou, Lu Yuanrui. Oh! He who gave him out of the mansion himself must be a great nobleman."

Ah Chou looked up and saw the middle-aged man's thick eyebrows as a sword, his beard as a hook, and his manners were graceful. Occasionally, a kind of majesty of a lofty and superiority flashed. However, when he turned to the beautiful scholar, he immediately looked full of spring breeze and smiled.

The governor of Guangzhou held six signs, one sign and another army, and was like a prince of the imperial court. The local emperor of Guangzhou could make him send him a guest with a face full of spring breeze, but his identity was not as small as a minor one.

This guest was a scholar in his thirties, wearing a long robe with a round neckline and a narrow sleeve, a belt on his waist, and a small sword that was more than a foot long hanging on the belt. The scholar's robe was printed with plum blossoms on the cuffs, looking beautiful and handsome. But if you look closely, you will find that she is a woman with a robe and a woman.

There is no need to observe whether she has an Adam's apple, or be surprised at why there is no beard under her jaw, her facial features, facial features, facial hair, and even her pink cheeks, she is clearly a woman. It is a fashionable thing for women in the Tang Dynasty to travel, but although they wear men's clothes, they still dress as women, so naturally they can tell at a glance.

There was a little girl standing beside the lady, who looked about six or seven years old. There was only a small sword hanging around her waist, but the little girl was carrying a long sword with her long sword slanted behind her, taller than her figure, with a scabbard just to the ground, while the hilt of the sword was much larger than her shoulders. The apricot yellow sword spikes hung on her shoulders, reflecting her handsome and tender face.

Such a strange combination attracted the attention of A Chou and Niu Niu.

"Let's go, Niu Niu."

Seeing that the guards who were following the entourage began to drive away the crowd around him, Ah Chou knew that his identity was even more banished, he wanted to pull Niu Niu away. But Niu Niu held his little hand and suddenly clenched it tightly. Niu Niu stared at the little girl with a long sword on her back and said excitedly: "Brother, look, look at the hairpin she wore on her head!"

"Blackhead?"

After Ah Chou Dingqing looked at it, she noticed that the little girl with a sword was wearing a hairpin and a hairpin in the shape of a butterfly, colorful and lifelike.

A Chou looked at Niu Niu's messy and dry hair like a chicken coop, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad. He habitually rubbed Niu Niu's hair and muttered: "Silly girl! What a silly girl..., be good, let's go!"

"oh!"

Niu Niu agreed, and reluctantly left him, still looking back at the butterfly hairpin on the head of the little girl of the same age as her, but she also knew that she was not worthy of having such a hairpin. She just wanted to see it and take a look more, but even this wish was a luxury, and the officers of the Governor's Office had already begun to rush the idle people.

Ah Chou looked at Niu Niu's shiny gaze, bit his lip gently, and said, "Niu Niu, brother, I will make you a hairpin, a hairpin that is more beautiful than that little girl's hairpin!"

Niu Niu's eyes shone and she said in surprise: "Really?"

A Chou smiled and said, "Silly girl, when did Brother Ah have deceived you?"

In a place covered with banana trees on the side of the road, A Chou instructed Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, just wait here, don't run around, so as not to be caught by the little wolf."

"Well, Niu Niu won't run around, wait for my brother to come back."

Niu Niu squatted under the banana tree, and two bare knees appeared on her torn skirt. Not long after, Ah Chou came back, with his hands behind his back, and a mysterious smile on his face. Niu Niu immediately jumped: "Brother, have you made a hairpin?"

Ah Chou smiled proudly and said, "Of course, there is nothing that I can't do when Brother A promises you. Guess what the hairpin that Brother Ah gave you?"

"I can't guess, let me see."

Niu Niu pounced on her, A Chou hid with a smile, and the two of them played for a while, and Niu Niu finally grabbed A Chou's hand.

"Wow! What a beautiful butterfly!"

Niu Niu opened her mouth wide and said in admiration.

A Chou said: "Brother, I'll make you a hairpin."

Niu Niu asked him strangely: "This butterfly is alive, how can you make a hairpin?"

Ah Chou smiled mysteriously and said, "Who said that living butterflies cannot be made into hairpins? Come on."

He took Niu Niu's hand, ran to a secluded place, squatted down, pulled out a thread from his torn clothes, carefully tied one end to the butterfly's leg, and then said to Niu Niu: "Come on, bow your head."

"oh!"

Niu Niu lowered her head, and Ah Chou took out a strand of hair from Niu Niu's head, tied the other end of the thread firmly to her hair, and let go of her hand, and the butterfly flew up on Niu Niu's hair.

"Brother, is it good-looking?"

Niu Niu looked at Ah Chou expectantly.

Ah Chou nodded vigorously: "It looks good! It's very beautiful! The butterfly hairpin worn by Niu Niu looks better than anyone's hairpin."

Niu Niu smiled happily. She took Ah Chou's hand and dragged him to the stream on the roadside. She shone on her own in the water, her hair was chaotic in the shape of a bird's nest, and a thread was holding a butterfly, fluttering on her head.

Niu Niu looked at herself in the water and grinned. She was still the ugly girl, with a dirty little face and a few teeth in her mouth...

Ah Chou looked at the reflection in the water, looked at her happy smile in the reflection, and rubbed her head docilely...

"Gugu, Gugu..."

After being happy, her stomach was still hungry. While protecting her butterfly hairpin like a treasure, Niu Niu said to A Chou: "Brother, Niu Niu is hungry..."

A Chou stood up, looked around, and said, "Niu Niu, you are waiting by the side of the road, brother, go get some food!"

A Chou walked across the bridge and passed through the arch hole of the banana tree. It was a courtyard that looked elegant and quiet compared to the lively street market. The courtyard was separated from the restaurants on both sides by two fence walls, and a "flag look" stood in the courtyard.

A large wine ladle for scooping wine is hung on the tall wooden pole, and a long strip of green cloth is tied to the bottom. The wooden pole has been a long time ago, and the paint has been peeled off and the wood grain is cracked, like an old face. This "old face" shows off the long history of this old store.

The wind is very weak today, and the wine ladle is quietly hanging on the top of the rod, only the long and long blue under the ladle dances weakly.

The boy was so hungry that he was even weaker than the green ribbon on the flag. He cheered up, stretched his sleeves and rubbed his cheeks hard, and tidied up his hair, making him look as neat and clean as possible, and then walked into the restaurant.
