The woman entered the private room with three women from the Western Regions holding strange musical instruments in their arms.

Seeing that the women were all covering their faces with scarves, Cao Shuo asked, "Why don't you let them take off the scarves?" ”

"Hui Gongzi." The woman said, "They come from the Gaochang Kingdom in the Western Regions, and it is their custom to cover their faces with scarves......

"Customs can't be broken." Cao Shuo said: "But now that they have come to the Central Plains, and they are still living here, it is not appropriate to cover their faces with a scarf, right?" ”

The woman did not dare to argue, but said something to the three women.

The three women took off their scarves.

Their skin is much whiter than that of the Central Plains women, their eye sockets are deep-set, and their eyes are also light brown different from those of the Central Plains.

"Where do they come from?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Gao Changguo!" The woman said: "It is not easy to come to the Central Plains thousands of miles away from Xu Capital. ”

The geographical coordinates of Gaochang Kingdom after 2,000 years are located east of Turpan, Xinjiang.

In the era when Cao Shuo lived in the past, the means of transportation were developed, and such a long distance was nothing.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the means of transportation were very simple, and it was indeed an extremely huge project to come to the Central Plains through the uninhabited Western Regions.

"You're willing to spend the cost." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked the woman, "None of them have been broken?" ”

"Don't worry, Childe, absolutely not." The woman said, "When I bought them, I examined them. ”

"How?" Cao Shuo asked.

The woman's face was embarrassed: "Don't worry, son, the people who test them are all women!" ”

"That's good!" Cao Shuo said: "We are all a bit clean, and we don't like women who have been touched by men. ”

"Absolutely not!" The woman said, "I can guarantee that they are a few of them clean and clean." ”

"What will they do?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I can sing and dance." The woman said, "But they know how to sing and dance in the Western Regions, and I don't know if they like it or not." ”

"As long as it's singing and dancing, we all like it." Cao Shuo smiled shyly and said to the woman, "Let them jump." ”

The woman said something to the three women.

The women answered, playing the instruments they were holding.

The melody of the instrument is light, and it belongs to a completely different style from the music played by the yaoqin.

They danced to the music, and even the dance steps were extremely brisk.

"Exotic landscapes are different." Cao Shuo said to Xun You and Guo Jia: "Most of our Central Plains dancers twist their waists and swing their hips to show their graceful figures, but the dance they dance is more eye-catching but the dance steps,"

"Did Childe find that their crotch bones are wider than those of the Central Plains women?" Guo Jia said.

"The hip bone is wider, and giving birth is smoother." Cao Shuo smiled: "I wonder if Guo Gong is interested in having a child born by a woman from the Western Regions?" ”

"Coming from afar in the Western Regions, it costs a lot of gold beads and copper coins to redeem oneself." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I can't bear it." ”

"How much does it cost to ransom them?" Cao Shuo asked the woman.

"Childe wants to redeem them for them?" The woman was stunned.

"Can't you redeem yourself?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Absolutely." The woman said, "But they came from the Western Regions to redeem their money......

"Say as much as you want." Cao Shuo asked.

"Fifty gold beads each." The woman said with some trepidation.

Fifty gold beads, exchanged for copper coins, is not a small amount.

Reporting this number, she is indeed a lion with a big mouth!

"Let them clean up after singing and dancing." Cao Shuo said: "I'll go to Guo Gong's Mansion tonight!" ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, one hundred and fifty gold beads is not a small number!" ”

"As long as Guo Gong likes it, let alone one hundred and fifty gold beads, even if a thousand gold beads are nothing?" Cao Shuo said: "It's just that I have something to remind Guo Gong. ”

"Childe, please speak."

"Although beauty is good, it must be tempered." Cao Shuo said: "Guo Gong doesn't want to linger with them all night, the body is the most important thing." ”

Guo Jia's old face flushed, and he said very embarrassedly: "I wrote it down what the son said!" ”

Cao Shuo bought three women from the Western Regions for him so generously, and Guo Jia's favor for him immediately rose a lot.

"Is there anyone else who can understand them but you?" Cao Shuo asked the woman.

"The little woman often picks up some women from the Western Regions, and after a long time, she can talk to them." The woman said, "There are not many who can understand them." ”

"I bought it with you!" Cao Shuo said: "Let's make a price." ”

The woman's face was full of embarrassment: "Childe said that he laughed, if he bought me too, Tingyuelou would also fall." ”

"No one understands what they say, they don't understand what we say, and it doesn't look like we've brought a few dumb people back with us?" Cao Shuo said a little unreasonably: "I don't care what method you use, I have to make them understand what we say." ”

The woman was embarrassed, and thought for a moment before saying, "If Gongzi needs to find someone who understands the Western Regions, he may have merchants who come and go to the Western Regions, and he should be able to buy an entourage from them at will." ”

"How much does it cost to buy an entourage?" Cao Shuo asked.

"A gold bead or two at most." The woman blurted out.

"People who travel to and from the Western Regions are only worth one or two gold beads." Cao Shuo said: "The three of them, but you want to charge me fifty each?" ”

"This ......," said the woman, her eyes rolling in an attempt to find the best explanation.

"In Xu Du, he actually deceived me?" Cao Shuo lowered his face coldly and shouted out the door: "Someone! ”

Cai Ji and a few guards pushed the door in.

"Childe, what do you command?" Cai Ji asked.

"Bring me this deceived woman!" Cao Shuo said: "Take them away with the three women from the Western Regions, and hand them over to Guo Gong to take care of them!" ”

Cai Ji and the others answered, and stepped forward to twist the woman.

The woman's legs were weak and she quickly knelt down, and kept kowtowing to Cao Shuo and said, "Son, spare your life!" It was because I was fascinated by the shit and wanted to ask for more benefits from Childe, so I said it casually. They gave it to Childe, and I didn't dare anymore! ”

"Send? Isn't that a bribe? Cao Shuo said: "Can a decent person like me accept your bribe?" ”

"Childe, I don't dare anymore!" The frightened woman kept kowtowing to Cao Shuo and begging for mercy.

"Forget it!" Cao Shuo said: "Although you are the first to be cheated and deceived, if I arrest you, people will say that I bullied you!" Make a price, I bought them! ”

Kneeling on the ground, the woman trembled, and how could she dare to make an offer.

"Five copper coins per person, is this price fair?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Justice! Fair! The woman hurriedly said, "Actually, three copper coins are enough......

"I'm not an instigator!" Cao Shuo said: "If you say five, you will be five, and the extra will be counted as the cost of your people to go to the Western Regions." ”
