Chapter 788: No more, let me laugh a little longer
Recruiting defectors thinks that helping is something that any force that invades another country will do, and it is usually quite useful to recruit defectors, whether it is used to plunder resources or to suppress those who resist, those who surrender will generally be more ruthless and vicious than the invaders.
The Brahmin that Yuan Qiao went to meet had a long name, and the longer the name, the longer the family history of the Brahmin, and there may have been some figures worthy of the family's pride.
Misap. Kudlaus. Dijang. Sweat. Khan is the name of Misap in order, Kudlaus and Dijang are supposed to be two proud ancestors, Khan represents his family in the Kushan period produced a northern nobleman, and the last Ksha is his family's surname.
The occasion for the meeting between the two was arranged by Ah San's side.
It is a well-groomed and decorated place, with a circular shed with two seats supported by a raised platform in the middle, and bonfires on the left and right sides of the high platform, roasting camels on one side and whole sheep roasting on the other.
The camel is placed directly on an unknown stone, or buried directly by that stone, and the surrounding bonfire provides enough temperature to cause the stone to burn red, and the stone heats the camel.
According to the camel's custom, the camel's hump is removed and the internal organs are emptied, brushed with layers of honey, and then stuffed into the hump, and a baby lamb and some chickens, ducks and geese and other poultry are placed, and they are also brushed with honey, and even the internal organs are emptied and some vegetables or fruits are stuffed.
Roasting whole sheep is not so particular, basically after processing, the sheep is set up, the temperature is provided by the bonfire below, and the person in charge of roasting it brushes some condiments over and over again as needed.
The main fabric of the awning is silk, and the pillars that support it look silvery, and the chaise longues with Roman characteristics are placed, and the long tables are filled with various meats and fruits.
The floor is carpeted, and lo and behold, it is still quite a precious Persian carpet? It is so extravagant that even the bonfire is covered with precious Persian carpets, and I don't know if it is a fire after the carpet is laid, or if it has been cut out of the space after special treatment.
Persian carpets have grades, not to mention the cheaper, a little higher grade is basically a gold coin starting price, there has been an exaggeration of a carpet out of a thousand gold coins in history, look at the Persian carpet fur color and pattern that is spread on the ground, how is it also a hundred gold coins starting price.
The high platform looks very much like a lotus seat, using peacock feathers and some solidified wafers to make petals one after another, looking very bright, colorful under the sun.
On the high platform in the style of a lotus seat, two golden-looking thrones are placed, whether they are pure gold or gilded, with intricate carvings, and many gemstones of different colors, and even a diamond that looks quite large on the crown-shaped backrest.
Brahmins, there is never a shortage of pomp, if it is just the arrangement and decoration of the scene, then how can it be enough to set off the force? Hordes of all kinds of minions are indispensable.
On the periphery of the shed, there should be two hundred Ah San dressed in ornate Greek armor, and they all seem to be between 1.7 and 1.8 meters tall, and their skin color tends to be white-skinned. Although the armor on his body is all Greek style...... That is, the type of skirt with a hem, the inner robe is bright red, the outer armor is divided into two types: gilded and silvered, and the weapons are divided into shield-holding short spears and shield-holding scimitars.
In the aisle of the shed, there was a woman kneeling every three meters or so, they looked more mixed, all wearing white gauze suspender dresses, different hair accessories with a circular metal olive branch headdress on the hair, a full bust with two points of pointy tips looming, the waist with a wheat ear style belt to tie the waist, kneeling posture so that the slit skirt was divided on both sides almost to expose the base of the thighs, and the buttocks were tightly bound to see the wonderful outline.
On either side of the seat stood a girl-looking teenager, holding a plate with cutlery in one hand and a wet towel on his chest in the other.
Yuan Qiao was a little stunned when he saw the place arranged by Ah San from a distance, but he was not amazed at Ah San's extravagance. He is from a family, he has seen all the scenes he should have seen, and he has long been numb to similar scenes, and the more he looks at the extravagant scenes, the more he has no love, on the contrary, he has evolved to a low-key and luxurious level, so he only feels a strong nouveau riche atmosphere for the scenes arranged by Ah San, and the resulting opinion is that it is vulgar to the point that there is no cultural level, and it is not at all like what a family with a long history should do.
That was Yuan Qiao's misunderstanding, Zhuxia is Zhuxia, and Ah San is Ah San.
The more you pay attention to it, the more you want to put all your wealth on it, in order to prove your wealth and heritage, and at the same time, it is also to show that you attach great importance to welcoming guests.
If Zhuxia is a high-grade person to arrange, it will show extremely low-key luxury, that is, it is difficult to have items that are very valuable at a glance, but in fact, anything arranged on the scene is priceless, maybe a piece of jade hanging on the wall, or a random seat and a few are precious fragrant wood, any kind of thing may be worth more than 10,000 gold coins.
At the same time, Zhuxia will be very close to nature, extremely particular about the fit with the surrounding landscape environment, anyway, you can't see that it is gold and silver, and it will be embarrassing to really do this.
It is estimated that Ah San was in charge of greeting the person who discovered Yuan Qiao's arrival, and a burst of music came out strangely from the base of the lotus seat, and the women who were originally kneeling on the ground stretched out their arms and danced like snakes to the rhythm of the music, and then slowly stood up and began to dance, and then began to sing.
Yuan Qiao and the entourage did not stop, as the leader, Yuan Qiao did not have any mood fluctuations, and he didn't even look at the graceful female dancers, and the rest of them had their own tricks, they didn't whistle or whistle, and they didn't talk, they just used familiar people to amuse them with their eyes.
When Yuan Qiao and the others walked to those Greek-style soldiers about ten meters, a burst of "drink" was suddenly shouted, and those soldiers arranged their phalanxes according to the different armor plating on their bodies.
At the front of the line were soldiers in silver-plated armor, carrying small round shields in one hand and short spears in the other, shouting and striding forward, looking like they were in good order.
The gilded soldiers in the back of the line, striking their shields with their scimitars, followed the silver-plated soldiers in front.
It has to be said that Ah San's soldiers suddenly made a move that really startled Yuan Qiao and the others, that is, although they were a little panicked in their hearts, they didn't make any random moves, should they continue to move forward or take a step, as for the hesitation of a few tenths of a second, it was not obvious.
Not far away, some Han troops who were on standby, they began to line up under the command of the officer, and when they were about to keep the formation forward, the scene that happened in front of them made them laugh.
What happened? It was Ah San, who didn't care whether the armor was gilded or silver, they were full of murderous spirit at the last moment forming an infantry horizontal formation to make a advancing posture, but the next moment they suddenly changed the formation, and the killing or something was completely fake, one by one swaying their bodies with a smile on their faces, and their mouths began to sing, and they danced while singing, changing formations, changing tricks and changing their own dances in a new way.
Yuan Qiao, who was originally a little guarded, narrowed his eyes when he saw that scene, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his cheeks couldn't help twitching, and the rest of the people who accompanied him simply couldn't hold back and laughed directly.
"This Ah San...... Isn't he sick? ”
"Listening to the Persians, it is a nation that will die if it doesn't sing or dance."
"I thought it was a demonstration, but I didn't think it was like this."
At this time, the female dancers who had been singing and dancing in the shed had come out, and they were dancing so merrily and singing ...... with the soldiers in the style of Greek armor? Or a dancer? Anyway, it's just mixed together.,Continue to have a disease that will die if you don't sing or dance.,It's that some dance moves have become more than that.,Frequently appear in some postures that only appear when you do things that you love.。
When Yuan Qiao and the others approached the shed and were about to enter the aisle, a middle-aged man wearing gold and silver and a beard on his face walked out, and those dancers also gathered in the past, the rhythm of the music became faster, and the voices of the men and women who sang became high-pitched and passionate.
The crowd gathered to make Yuan Qiao's team subconsciously vigilant, but Ah San was really a nation born with the gene of dying if he didn't sing or dance, and after gathering over, he immediately sang and danced and scattered, with the soldiers outward and the female dancers inward.
"What a surprise!"
"I almost drew my sword and slashed it just now."
"Shame, my eyes have been staring at those full twin peaks, jumping up and trembling, beautiful scenery."
"It's a shame, I don't just watch it, but I'll hug at least two of them for a good time."
Listening to the bursts of discussion, Yuan Qiao was expressionless, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that those people were not as calm as they seemed, and they were talking to express the nervousness that had just been shocked.
Ah San is really good at tossing, except for a very small number of Ah San, the rest of them, whether they are men or women, old or young, are still dancing with the music.
Yuan Qiao was the first to enter the circular shed, and when he saw the movement in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned again.
That's some Ah San teenagers doing difficult movements, they can actually hold the plate with one hand, the wet towel with the other, and then do the behavior of stacking arhats, there are more people on the base, and the more people go up, the fewer people there are, so the higher and higher they are.
"Why do those Ah San keep chanting 'a big 8' repeatedly, are they scolding us?"
"What's that?"
"It's 'a big 8'!"
“……”
God is a big number 8, that's a lyric, which translates to the effect of "listen to your husband" or something, and the tone and intonation of men and women are different, and the corresponding is flirting or something.
The man wearing gold and silver and a beard was already standing beside Yuan Qiao, he bent down and said something, made a gesture of please, and waited for Yuan Qiao to take a step forward, he followed the lead and walked to the high platform in the shape of a lotus seat.
Yuan Qiao went up to the high platform, due to the abundant sunlight today, he was almost blinded by the golden throne at the first glance, especially the diamond at the top of the backrest, and squinted before he saw a white and chubby man standing at the front of another equally gorgeous chair saluting for the second time.
The rest of the Han people were led to the shed, where they occupied half of the ring, and looked at the backless chaise longue slightly blinded.
Of course, there are chairs in the Han Kingdom now, at first as a maza, and later Liu Yan led the trend before modern style furniture appeared, but this Roman style of chaise longue was really not used.
Some Ah San, who didn't know where they appeared, looked like they should be nobles, they walked to the shed on the other side of the ring, saluted the Han people who were still standing, and then were waited to lie down on their sides.
"That posture looks like hemimetric......"
"That's a fitting description."
The Han people, at least the Han people today, do not have the habit of being manipulated by foreign races like puppets, so they will not lie half-leaning like Ah San, and sit on a Roman-style chaise longue with a golden knife.
On the high platform, the white and chubby Ahsanbrahmin spoke very slowly, not knowing what he was talking about, and he made a lot of body movements when he spoke, looking at his elegance or something?
"He's welcoming Your Excellency."
Yuan Qiao had to look at the translator from Persia, obviously this Ah San said a lot, how could he translate it into such a short sentence?
The Persian translator seemed to sense Yuan Qiao's doubts, kept a smile on his face, and said: "He used quite a lot of modifiers, the Han people do not believe in the gods of the Hindu religion, and the words are repeated many times, so ......", simply put, there are too many nonsense without substance!
Yuan Qiao looked at the other translator present, it was a translator from Honglu Pavilion.
The Han translator was a little sluggish, as if he was thinking about something, and nodded at Yuan Qiao.
There is no way to do it if the Han country does not translate itself, mainly because the Han people really don't feel the need to learn foreign languages, even if they want to learn the languages of countries of the same level.
Later, the war between the Han and Gupta dynasties dragged on, and the Honglu Pavilion sent people over, but the learning was converted between the Persians and the Romans, and the progress was really slow, and there were too many words and slang that I didn't understand.
I was very dissatisfied with the Persian translation, even if it was a lot of nonsense for the white and fat Ah San, even if it was nonsense in a diplomatic situation, he should copy the translation, and he couldn't help but stare at it with warning.
"Tell him, our Pangu God, Nuwa God, Taiyi God、......" Yuan Qiao said a lot of gods on the genealogy, some are clearly enshrined, including the three emperors and five emperors, and then summarized: "It must be more powerful than their gods, and the Han people don't need the gods from Ah San to intervene." ”
The Persian translator already had a sluggish expression on his face......
