Chapter 101: Oil
The temperature in the desert was low at night, Han Qing squinted for a while and then got up to meditate and practice, Chu Yuan also woke up when he heard the sound, "Ah Qing why don't you go to the space for a while, I'll just guard outside." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Han Qing shook his head and said, "I have to follow the caravan in the future, so it's better for me to adapt as soon as possible." ”
Chu Yuan walked over and took out a set of newly bought robes, handed them to her and said, "You go into the space to change the size, and you can wear it outside tomorrow, although this dress is fancy, the material is quite thick." ”
Han Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Junyue, how do you know that I like this suit?" ”
"When the proprietress brings it, your eyes are going to grow up, go ahead."
Han Qing took the clothes and said, "Then you put on your suit, I'll see, if there is anything inappropriate, I'll go in and change it together, otherwise it will take two more times." ”
Chu Yuan was happy in his heart, but his face was still serious, he nodded and raised his hand to directly untie the robe on his body, and then heard Han Qing's "ah" with satisfaction and covered his eyes with his hand. Chu Yuan's eyes were full of smiles, and he slowly finished changing his clothes before he said, "Okay." ”
Han Qing put down his hand and raised his head to see that Chu Yuan was wearing a straight-necked narrow-sleeved tunic with a sparrow blue background and orange and green mixed patterns, which was very different from his usual outfit, and he actually looked a little unrestrained and mysterious contradictory. If you want Han Qing to say, Chu Yuan looks better than the Uyghur man in this exotic costume.
Han Qing praised without hesitation, "Brother Junyue is good-looking, he can wear any kind of clothes with luxury, but he can compare the locals to the dust." ”
Chu Yuan listened to the ironing in his heart, and said with a smile, "It's good that A-Qing really thinks so, don't look back at those men in the Western Regions." ”
Han Qing puffed out her cheeks, embarrassed to refute, she did stare at the handsome guy in the Western Regions all night with her head propped up, so she weakly changed the topic and said, "There are still a few places where this robe does not fit, and change it out, I will remember it all." ”
Chu Yuan snorted, didn't hold on to the topic anymore, and began to change his clothes again, Han Qing turned his back and wondered, why did he not know how to avoid it recently, could it be that he integrated into the Western Regions cultural circle so quickly and began to let himself go?
Han Qing couldn't help but think of the girl from the Western Regions who was hot, fair-skinned and beautiful, and turned her back to Chu Yuan and said, "Brother Junyue, don't you really like the cool and enthusiastic people of the Western Regions, I see that you are a little informal in your style today." ”
Chu Yuan was unbuttoning his hand for a moment, and said in his heart that it had something to do with the people of the Western Regions, didn't I ask for a separate shack, "It's not because there are just the two of us in this house, I was a little casual." Then he guessed, "Ah Qing is not used to dealing with them, why don't we fall far behind them?" ”
Han Qing felt that what the two of them said was not the same thing at all, so she quickly shook her head and said, "No, the people of the Western Regions are straightforward and interesting, and I like it too." ”
Chu Yuan shook his head after hearing this, how did Ah Qing decide that I like people from the Western Regions, and her little daughter-in-law looked at me like a wolf with wolf eyes, it was really impossible to prevent it! However, he didn't explain again, only changed his clothes and handed it to Han Qing and said, "You have changed your clothes, rest for two days, and then come out again." ”
Han Qing took the clothes and turned around and entered the space, first changed the two clothes with his mind, made some food, and flashed out of the space.
Chu Yuan was surprised, "I didn't tell you to take a break, why did you come out so quickly?" ”
"The dinner of Azmat was dry, and I saw that you didn't eat much, so I made some food on purpose." After all, there is room for the table and food.
Chu Yuan was so beautiful that he thought that Ah Qing had watched the people of the Western Regions all night, and he could silently notice that I hadn't eaten much, and sure enough, the girl was caring, and Ah Qing would definitely give birth to a girl in the future! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has recovered the memory of his previous life, finally found a way to give birth to a baby, and he no longer envies others, but he doesn't want to think about whether the child is happy or not.
After eating, Han Qing said, "It's going to leave at dawn, there are others along the way, and I don't know what it will be dirty, Brother Junyue will go to the space to wash it, and I'll stare at it outside." ”
Chu Yuan thought about it for a while, so he nodded and said yes. Han Qing sent him into the space, meditated outside, and then brought Chu Yuan out, and he also went in to take a shower and sleep again.
After dawn, Anal knocked on the door happily outside, "Master Meng, my grandfather said that he was ready to go!" ”
Chu Yuan and Han Qing had already packed up, took a bag loosely in their hands, and walked out of the shack. "I'm tired, my brother and sister are ready to go at any time."
Anar saw Chu Yuan's eyes straightened, although yesterday he said that he looked at this son well-looking, but after all, it was already dark, and it was a little blurry, and now that the sky was bright, he saw that this son of the Central Plains was born like a god, and he was better looking than all the men she had ever seen.
Han Qing looked at Anar, snorted coldly and walked straight out, Chu Yuan naturally didn't have time to pay attention to Anar, and only devoted himself to serving the imperial concubine.
Tajiguli walked over and said enthusiastically, "Oh, the son and the girl are really beautiful like fairies!" How did you get a good night's rest? Do you want to bring some dry food to eat on the road? ”
Although Han Qing was disturbed by Anar early in the morning, she liked this beautiful proprietress very much, so she smiled at her and said, "The rest is very good, the proprietress is good at doing business, and she will definitely be able to make money." ”
Chu Yuan saw that Han Qing liked Tajiguli, so he casually gave her some more silver, "Then please help us pack some dry food and water." ”
Although Tajigul likes silver, he is very honest in business, so he pushed, "A little dry food and water can't get so much silver." ”
Chu Yuan said, "My sister likes the proprietress very much, so I should thank you for your hospitality." ”
For the first time, Tajigul saw that her favorite sister was so spoiled, so she hurriedly thanked her for the reward, and said to Han Qing, "The girl is so blessed, she was born like a fairy, and she has a brother who loves you so much, so she will have enough confidence to marry in the future!" ”
Han Qing cheekily agreed, "That's it, with my brother here, no one dares to give me a loss." ”
The two of them sang and harmonized, making Chu Yuan lose his temper, so he had to helplessly reach out and pinch her little face.
At this time, the old man Nizamu walked over with two camels, "Master Meng, there are two caravans going north today, I have already greeted them, let's just follow them." ”
"There's an old man." Chu Yuan thanked Nizamu and asked about the route in detail.
On the other hand, Tajiguli had already helped them wrap dry food and water, and came over to ask Han Qing, "The girl has fine skin and tender meat, and it is a long way to Hami, do you want to buy a camel for transportation?" ”
Han Qing gave a thumbs up to this proprietress in her heart, what this intermediary did was simply amazing, "The proprietress is too thoughtful, but I don't know who to buy from?" ”
After hearing this, Tajiguli smiled and said, "Leave it to me Tajiguli, and promise to choose the most spiritual camel for you." ”
Chu Yuan was distracted and saw that Han Qing was coaxed to be happy, so he stopped talking to Nizamu, looked over and said, "Then trouble the boss lady, help us pick two horses." ”
"Alas! I'll go! Tajigul was about to fly with joy, and she knew that after coaxing the girl, the business would be negotiated, so she turned and went to find her own man to pick the camel.
When he went on the road, Han Qing was already fully armed, riding a camel and wearing a characteristic Uyghur turban. She smiled and turned around and waved at the reluctant Tajigul, making Chu Yuan so amused, "I see that the proprietress is very reluctant to you, I think she has never met such a good salesperson as you." ”
Han Qing liked her new headscarf very much, and said with a smile while fiddling with it, "Who said she was reluctant to pay me, I see that she is reluctant to pay, you are here!" ”
The old man Nizamu disagreed, "Childe is too used to your sister, and it is very dangerous to expose your wealth in the desert!" ”
Chu Yuan glanced at Han Qing dotingly, and said, "My sister has suffered a lot all the way with me, and I should be spoiled." The old man doesn't have to worry, I know kung fu, and other idlers are not my opponents. ”
Anar was very jealous of Han Qing on the side, she rode a camel to Chu Yuan's side, and boasted, "Master Meng, you follow my grandfather, it is very safe, my grandfather is a well-known benevolent man in the desert, and the people in the caravan give face." ”
Nizamu can't do anything about his granddaughter, he has some eyesight, and he can see that the identity of this brother and sister is extraordinary, and his granddaughter's careful thinking will not come to fruition after all. No matter how hard he tried to persuade him, his granddaughter didn't seem to listen, so he had to go with her.
Chu Yuan knew that the people of the Western Regions were very particular about these, and if a person with noble character or a talented person spread his reputation, he would be extremely respected, so he bowed his hand to Nizamu and said, "Disrespectful, it is our luck that my brother and sister can follow you." ”
"Everywhere, in the desert, we have to help each other like this. Now that business is much more difficult than before, you two children are indeed lucky to not only get lost but also find an oasis to rest, and even meet these large camel caravans. ”
In the desert, the retail merchants follow the big caravan, first, to seek protection, and secondly, the strength of the people is great, and it can also strengthen the momentum of the caravan, so it is a win-win situation. Han Qing raised his eyes, and two caravans, plus some retail merchants, formed a long camel caravan, marching between the yellow sand and Gobi, the camel bells jingled, as if chanting a melodious and vibrant long poem of the Western Regions.
Chu Yuan's attention was very different from Han Qing's, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that business is not as good as it used to be now?" ”
Nizamu explained, "The emperor has worked hard in the past few years, and even our Western Regions know about it, but we are high here, and the emperor is far away, and no matter how the Central Plains develops, it has nothing to do with us at all." We supported our families by trading with countries further west. Who knows that in recent years, shipping has prospered a lot, and this year, Daqi's fleet has also gone to the West, and those who trade with us have a better trade route, and our business here will naturally be much less. ”
Chu Yuan and Han Qing were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect that the commercial and trade behavior far away in the East China Sea would have such a far-reaching impact, and even the Western Regions would be affected.
Han Qing thought about it carefully, and there was indeed a saying in later generations that the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road was the main reason for the decline of the Silk Road on the road. "Then shouldn't the Western Regions consider developing some agricultural economy, after all, there are also unique resources here."
Nizamu pointed to the barren ground and shook his head, "Look at the black oil on the ground, it is impossible to cultivate here. There are only a few places in the Western Regions where things can be grown, and most of them are such barren lands cursed by the gods. ”
Han Qing looked at the old man's finger and was startled, the ...... That black, viscous liquid, is it, oil?
