Chapter Ninety-Six: First Arrival in Shanshan
Yin Qianhe and others finally stepped into the Shanshan realm in October. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shanshan was once one of the 36 states of the Western Regions, but now it has been destroyed and belongs to the Black Khanate.
Unlike Kannai, this place is completely alien, and Han Chinese are rare, and even if there are, most of them are Middle-earth merchants who have come to do business like them.
As Yin Qianhe thought, the people here like to wear clothes with bright and pure colors, which is thought to be caused by regional influences.
In this place, the sky is blue, the desert is brilliant, the Tianshan Mountains are snow-capped, and the flaming mountains are scorching with red flames, all of which are large areas of pure color, creating the preference of the people of the Western Regions for this kind of color.
The costumes of the Western Regions are very comprehensive, the clothing style is similar to the robe of the Middle Earth, but the patterns on the clothes are influenced by Western countries, and traces of Buddhism and ****** religion can be seen, coupled with the characteristic decoration of the nation, it has formed the kind of costumes rich in elements that Yin Qianhe saw.
Walking on the street, Yin Qianhe faintly began to worry, will anyone like his pure Hanfu? And I brought more clothes for spring and summer, how to sell them in the weather when everyone was wearing fur coats and wool felt hats?
It was getting late, and Qin Chong led everyone straight to the door of a big mansion. The layout of the house on the outside looks more like a private house than an inn.
"Second Master Qin, are we going to live here today?" Yin Qianhe asked suspiciously.
"If the owner of this house happens to be at home, we won't have to worry about staying overnight tonight."
After Qin Zhong finished speaking, he walked to the door and knocked on the door.
Hearing a knock on the door inside, someone asked something in words that Yin Qianhe didn't understand. When Qin finished speaking, the door opened.
The person who opened the door seemed to be extremely happy to see Qin Chong, said a lot of words to him with a smile on his face, and then welcomed him directly into the house, but left the rest of the people out of the door.
Everyone else stood awkwardly, not knowing whether to follow up or not.
After hesitating for a while, someone from inside came out again. The man came to Yin Qianhe and the others and said "Please come in" in very stiff Chinese.
After the caravan people, camels, and goods were arranged, Yin Qianhe and Wu Xiaohu were invited to meet the owner of the house.
On the way, the two saw someone preparing to slaughter cattle and sheep, as if to welcome them with ceremonia.
The two of them secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they could finally have a good meal tonight instead of dry food.
Before he reached the hall, he heard a hearty laugh, and then heard a heroic voice say: "Brother Qin, I haven't seen you for two years, and you still haven't changed." ”
This person speaks Chinese, so Yin Qianhe and Wu Xiaohu can understand it.
The two men followed the leader into the house, and only two people sat in the room. One is Qin Chong, and the other should be the person who spoke just now.
The man had a short beard, but because of his good looks, deep eyes and high nose, he was not rough, and he was about thirty years old. Whether it is his dress or appearance, it is revealed that he is a local.
When Qin Chong saw them, he stood up and said to the man, "Brother Wei Chi, this is the Miss Yin I just told you. ”
The man surnamed Wei Chi stood up and saluted Yin Qianhe, "The first time we met, I met in Captain Chi Gang." ”
Yin Qianhe looked at him, although he was an out-and-out native of the Western Regions, but his speech and etiquette had the feeling of a Central Plains person, so she returned the salute as if she had seen someone in the capital.
After finishing the ceremony, Yin Qianhe asked Wei Chigang again: "Yu Chi Gongzi speaks Chinese so fluently, does he often go to the Central Plains?" ”
Wei Chigang smiled: "I've been there a few times, and it's all around Yangguan and Yumen Pass." The reason why I can say the words of you Han people is all due to Brother Qin. ”
Qin Zhong said: "I don't dare to monopolize this credit. When I met Brother Wei Chi, he was already able to understand me, but it was still a little difficult to speak by himself, and all I did was talk to him every day. ”
"Oh. You've known each other for a long time? ”
Wei Chigang thought for a while and said, "It's been more than seven years. At that time, he had just arrived, and he was just a down-and-out scholar, and he felt like he had lost his soul all day long. ”
Qin Chongdao: "At that time, thanks to Brother Wei Chi who took me in, I was also guided by him when I started doing business. ”
Yin Qianhe said: "In this way, Gongzi Wei Chi is also a powerful businessman. ”
"Hey, girl, it's not appropriate for you to call me son-in-law, I'm the father of two children. If you don't dislike it, follow Xiaohu and call me big brother. ”
Yin Qianhe turned his head to look at Wu Xiaohu, and Wu Xiaohu said: "Yes, Brother Wei Chi is an easy-going person, I can shout like that, Miss Yin, you don't have to be polite." ”
"That's a good idea. Brother Wei Chi, in fact, I am not a polite person, the son is long and the son is short, shouting is awkward and angry, when I was in the capital, I just had to do it. ”
"Well, I like a woman like you who doesn't squirm."
They talked for a long time, until someone came to report that dinner was ready, and the four of them moved to eat.
This move was moved outside, and sure enough, it was a campfire barbecue feast. Roast whole lamb and roast beef, just look at it and make people greedy.
The woman standing by the campfire and directing the maid to set the table should be the hostess. She turned around and saw that Wei Chi had just arrived with a guest, so she greeted her warmly.
The other people in Qin Chong's caravan were also invited, the guests and hosts sat around the bonfire, and the host, Wei Chigang, served wine and toasted everyone with a bowl.
Yin Qianhe drank the wine unequivocally, and Wei Chigang praised: "Qianhe, you are good, you are better than all the Central Plains women I have ever seen."
Yin Qianhe put down the bowl and said with a smile: "It's Brother Wei Chi, you have seen too few women in the Central Plains, and the women in our Central Plains are not necessarily worse than those here."
Wei Chigang said: "Don't talk about women there, even men can't compare to the women of our desert." For example, Brother Qin, the only time he drank with me back then, he was drunk and unconscious after just two bowls. ”
Yin Qianhe waved his hand and said, "Oh, Brother Wei Chi, you can't compare like this." Second Master Qin is the worst of ours, how can we compare him with you. ”
Qin Chong, who was sitting next to her, heard that he was being looked down on like this, so he had to lean over and drink his Luo Bu hemp tea silently.
In order to defend the dignity of the people of the Central Plains, Yin Qianhe said again: "I don't know if my sister-in-law can drink, so it's better to let me compare with my sister-in-law, so that I can see the superior."
When Mrs. Wei Chi saw that someone was "provocative", she looked at Wei Chigang and smiled, and then said to Yin Qianhe: "Since Miss Qianhe wants to compare, then I will compare with you." I haven't drunk seriously since I had Ah Er. ”
Qin Chong knew the amount of alcohol that this hostess had, and hurriedly whispered to dissuade Yin Qianhe: "Miss Yin, I have to meet a big customer tomorrow, you better not fight with your sister-in-law, lest you get drunk and miss the business."
Yin Qianhe said: "Don't be afraid, with you, business can always be done." Business depends on you, and drinking depends on me, and we can't let people look down on us. ”
Yin Qianhe didn't listen to persuasion, and insisted on fighting with Mrs. Wei Chi, and the result was naturally a miserable loss. However, fortunately, this time I fell asleep directly after getting drunk, and I didn't make a lot of ugliness like last time.
Qin Chong originally planned to go with Wei Chi Gang to meet the patron the next morning, but because Yin Qianhe was very drunk, he had to postpone it until early afternoon. (To be continued.) )
