Chapter 1308: Luo Piao

"The only way to solve the worries is Du Kang."

Conley, the messenger of Xueyanta, was not a Tieler, but rather a Sogdian. When the initial Bi Khan was there, he reused the Zhaowu Sogdian Hu people, and when he was Jieli Khan, he also reused the Hu people.

What these Zhaowu Sogdians were best at was business, and they were clever and discerning. They are also extremely gifted with languages, often one of them being fluent in seven or eight languages.

But Conley found that no matter how he could speak, but in Luoyang City, there was no one who was willing to listen to him. Whether it is the Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, or the Mansion of the Great Khan, his posts have been handed over one after another, but there is no reply.

Every time, he was an inconsequential doorman, and he sent him away with a straight face, as if he were just a flower child who asked for food.

Lost walking on the streets of Luoyang, and finally came to Datongfang near the West Market.

The West Market is close to the southwest corner of Luoyang, and there is also the Tongji Canal passing through here, which can be described as convenient transportation, similar to the West Market of Chang'an, and several squares around the West Market of Luoyang, also a large number of Hu businessmen live.

In Datongfang, there were a large number of Sogdian merchants, and the Conley family was actually from Zhaowu Kangguo, but he went to the grassland in his grandfather's generation, but he still had a natural sense of closeness to the Sogdian merchants.

In the days when he was a Luo Piao in Luoyang, he liked to stay in Datongfang.

He rented a room for a merchant in Shiguo, and after paying a little money, he could eat with the landlord of Shiguo every day, eating the taste of his hometown.

But today, he doesn't want to go back to Datongfang, he doesn't want to eat the taste of his hometown, he just wants to drink.

Although the days of coming to Luoyang were not long, he could hit walls everywhere, which made him like Luoyang's wine. The taverns and taverns here are different, and they sell different wines, but they also have their own flavors.

"Rent a donkey? Send you to Ningrenfang, where there are several girls from the south of the Yangtze River in the Red Mansion, but the water is smart, Wu Nong whispered softly, do you want to go? ”

An old man with a donkey passed by and offered to greet him.

Conley turned his head and saw the old man grinning at him with his teeth, and the donkey he was holding in his hand had a bamboo tag tied to his forehead, and the word "donkey" was written on it.

"How much?"

"A silver tiger." The old man said.

"Old man, don't deceive me, I've been in Luoyang City for a long time, it's only diagonal to Ningrenfang here, it won't take me a quarter of an hour to walk over, you actually want to charge me a silver tiger?"

The old man smiled, and he was not embarrassed to see through the face of the profiteer.

"You're paying a price."

"Five pennies!"

"How can it be done, Luoyang is big, it is not easy to live, and the price is expensive. Besides, I am familiar with Ningrenfang, I know which wine is the best, which Leban is good, which girl is smart, and which tea is delicious. ”

"Ten bucks."

The old man smiled and said, "I know that there is a girl, young and beautiful, who has not yet made up, who stays in a small building, and has no reputation at the moment. ”

"You're still pimping?" Conley asked.

"What is pimping, it's so ugly, I call it service."

"Okay, I'll give you twenty dollars."

"One hundred Kaiyuan Tongbao, to ensure that you are worth your money, Tong Su is not bullied!"

Conley nodded, took out a banker's ticket, and picked out a denomination of one hundred Kaiyuan Tongbao, "Look, it's exactly one hundred dollars." ”

The old man took it, looked carefully left and right, and finally smiled and put it in his arms, "Dadong Qianzhuang's, you can redeem the ticket when you see it, and your credit is very good." Guest, you get on the donkey, and I'll take you there. ”

Conley rode on the donkey, looking left and right, and today this square is also full of pedestrians, so lively.

"It's a really lively day."

The old man led the donkey in front of him and said with a smile, "That's not it, after all, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, wait for it to get dark for a while, and the street lights on this street will be lit up, then it will be beautiful. ”

"Luoyang is so good." Conley Road.

"No, the capital of the world, there is nowhere to go."

"Luoyang is very good, but the bride price is very expensive." Conley sighed.

"Bride price? Which daughter did the guest officer fall in love with? ”

"I have a headache for Wanli, so I want to go and have a drink."

"This Luoyang, in fact, depends on people. Young talent, the woman doesn't pay attention to what bride price is not bride price, you didn't see the previous township drinking ceremony, the son-in-law in front of the gate of the country, that is called a lively. It is said that this time, more than 2,000 people will be admitted to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination, and more than 200 Jinshi will be admitted at that time, and after the saint of the Golden Palace personally examines the talent of the Jinshi, he will hand-pick the Jinshi ranking, and at that time, the champion Lang and the Bangyan Lang and the Tanhua Lang will be selected. I can hear, now full of Luoyang relatives and nobles, but are staring at it, it is estimated that when the time comes, the champion of the Yuan Lang have to fight, it is said that the biggest hit in this branch is Ma Zhou, last year in the white robe face of the saint, His Majesty wanted to award him the seven officials, but he had to participate in the imperial examination, it is said that when he participated in the Hebei Provincial Provincial Provincial Examination, but the results were good, and he won the first place in Xie Yuan. ”

"When Ma Zhou participated in the hospital examination, the county examination, and the county examination before, it was one person who won three cases in a row, known as the small three yuan, and this time he got the Tao test to solve the yuan, if he can get the middle school test again, and the palace test champion, it is the big three yuan. Now the gambling houses in Luoyang have even opened stalls, some guess whether Ma Zhou can get the champion, some guess whether he can get the big three yuan, and guess who will be snatched away as a son-in-law in the end, but it is lively. ”

Conley couldn't help but envy the scholar named Ma Zhou, who had not yet participated in the examination, but he was already famous all over the world, a scholar could actually get this glory, this is really a grand event that only Daqin has.

"To be honest, I also envy Ma Zhou, and I regret that I didn't go to school back then. Now, who is the most noble in this Luoyang City? It's not the son of Jinyi Xunqi, but the Confucian robe scholar, Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren all have their own special robes, and they wear them and walk on the street, which is called a chic style. ”

"Do you know how many princes and prime ministers are now vying for Ma Zhou as their son-in-law? It is said that now Ma Zhou's inn, every day the threshold makes those eunuchs and nobles of the house of the stewards about to smash, in order to compete for Ma Zhou as a son-in-law, not to mention what kind of bride price, they are all issued a variety of conditions upside down, yesterday, it is said that the Feng according to the inspection of the family proposed to be willing to give 3,000 acres of land as a dowry, and just entered the dynasty again to become the political envoy of Anxi Zuobu, Xiao Yu, is willing to take out 10,000 guan plus 3,000 acres of land and Luoyang and Chang'an ten shops each as a daughter's dowry, just want Ma Zhou as a son-in-law. ”

"Hey, but Ma Zhou didn't say yes." Speaking of which, the old donkey's head couldn't help but slap his palm on his thigh, which felt too enviable.

Conley listened to it and felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, Ma Zhou married a daughter-in-law, and he didn't want a penny bride price, and all families did not compete to give such a heavy dowry, but the emperor married his niece, but he wanted such a heavy bride price, the emperor is marrying a princess or selling a princess?

Or is it that they Xue Yantuo is easy to bully?

He didn't understand, why did the Great Khan of Yi Nan also help the Great Qin Tianzi pit Xue Yantuo?

But thinking that Luoyang is so prosperous, if he is a Yi Nan, it is estimated that he will be reluctant to leave here and return to the Mobei grassland. It's just that if you don't want to go back to Mobei, you can't be so tricky.
