Chapter 252: Remembering
Hearing how Ursar admired the Central Plains, how he admired and longed for the things in the Central Plains, and excitedly expressed his envy, the feeling of superiority of everyone arose, and for Usar it became more and more pleasing to the eye, Han Rui was the same, but he was more rational than them, in Ursar's body, Han Rui found a sense of déjà vu, and his eyes flashed brightly, similar to Qian Xu.
It is indeed a good reason to come to Chang'an without taking all kinds of unpredictable risks, but no matter how you look at it, you are not like such a fanatical idealist, huge risks, but also huge rewards, the Silk Road, isn't it formed in this way, Han Rui smiled, and did not mean to debunk, leaning lightly on the Hu bed, listening to Usar talk about the hardships and adventures on the way.
At noon, a sumptuous banquet was set up in the hall, and seeing Usar's skillful use of chopsticks, Han Rui knew that what he said just now also had some credibility, or the customs and habits of the countries in the Western Regions were the same as those in the Central Plains, but the action was a little jerky, and it should be that the meal was not in line with the taste, limited to politeness, and it was just a shallow taste.
During the period, Qiu Niang also came out to sing and dance, attracting applause from everyone, the luncheon dispersed, took a nap, and everyone came to the small garden again, or the deacon game, or the book and painting, very elegant, but also take this opportunity, Han Rui played the kung fu of the water mill, and asked Chu Suiliang and Ouyang Tong to write a few notes for themselves.
Naturally, a painter like Yu Chi Yi Seng who has left a name in history must not be missed, because of the excellent paintings, it will not be completed for a while and a half, so Han Rui is very generous, so that Yu Chi Yi Seng does not have to worry, go home and paint slowly, before the end of the month, remember to send the painting to him, of course, he can also go to the door to pick it up.
The scoundrel-like entanglement caused everyone to laugh, and Yu Chi Yi Seng also laughed and sighed, and reluctantly agreed, however, the so-called feng shui took turns, Han Rui patronized and begged for books to paint, but forgot that he was also a famous man, first Qiu Niang spoke, softly spoke and asked for poetry, and the others were not lagging behind, all of them surrounded and went up, and finally even the maids in the house also came to make fun, so scared that Han Rui quickly fled into the wilderness, looking at his embarrassed figure, everyone laughed, and then left.
It is said that it has been turned west, the sky is full of clouds, and the gaps occasionally reveal a red and brilliant glow, which can be regarded as a beautiful landscape.
On top of the spacious carriage, Ursar said gratefully, "Thank you, good brother. ”
"Between you and me, you don't have to mention this." Yu Chi Yiseng shook his head and sighed lightly: "Ursal, that's all, I can't help you with other things." ”
"Good brother, this is enough, Chang'an is even more spacious than you described, if it weren't for your guidance, I would be like a lost lamb, and I would definitely not find the way forward." Usar said sincerely, lifted the curtain, looked at the neat and orderly buildings in the city, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression again, it was really a city of miracles.
"Ursar, these are just some of them, the real miracle is there, but it's a pity that you are not a tributary envoy, otherwise you would have had the opportunity to go and see it." Monk Yu Chi Yi said, pointing in the direction of Miyagi, feeling sorry for him.
"There's going to be a chance." Ursar said confidently, Yu Chi Yisheng shook his head, he has lived in Chang'an for a few years, understands the rules of the Central Plains, and knows that with Ursar's identity, I am afraid it will be difficult to realize such a wish.
Unable to bear to hit the thought of his good friend, Yu Chi Yiseng turned to say: "Wusar, do you really plan to stay in Chang'an and not return to Khotan?" ”
"I'm not going back for a while." Letting go of the car curtain, Usar said with great interest: "When I received your letter, I always thought that the situation you described might be a little exaggerated, but now that I have come, I find that not only is there no falsehood, but it is more prosperous, lively, spectacular, and rich than the description......
"And that's not all." Monk Yu Chi Yi said with a smile.
"Haha, of course, it's unbelievable, silk comparable to gold, it's so cheap here, it's heaven." Usal excitedly said, "Praise be to Allah." ”
Monk Yu Chi Yi smiled and said: "I have written to tell you many times, but you don't believe it. ”
"Faith, the Central Plains is rich in silk, and the price is cheap, so I naturally believe it, but if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have known that those black-hearted merchants would have raised their prices a hundred times." Usar scolded angrily, thinking of the silk that he had bought at a hundred times the price before, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
Monk Yu Chi Yi smiled lightly and said: "You are not like this, because of the beautiful jade gems brought by Khotan, you can make a lot of money by selling them to jewelry shops in Chang'an." ”
"Not much, not much, barely able to buy a shop in the market." Ursal said with a smile, the spring breeze is proud, but it is not true, there is a good friend in Chang'an, who has mastered the information here, and naturally understands how to maximize the benefits, although the journey is full of dangers, but the huge rewards have offset everything.
It is no wonder that every year, so many businessmen, knowing that they may die unexpectedly, go and shuttle between the two places, because the benefits obtained are too great to make people move forward bravely and fearlessly.
"Pavement?" Monk Yu Chi Yi frowned and said: "Wusar, I thought you just wanted to have some fun in Chang'an, and then go back with the envoys, I didn't think that you were going to open a shop in Chang'an, are you going to stay and not leave?" ”
Usar's expression suddenly darkened, and he said softly: "Wei Chi, my good brother, I forgot to tell you that half a year ago, Abal passed away. ”
"Oh, poor Abar." Monk Yu Chi Yi looked sad and comforted: "Ursar, mourning, I believe that Abal will have eternal life in heaven." ”
"Before Abal died, Ursol was appointed to succeed the family." Ursar seemed a little helpless, spread his hands and said, "You also know that our relationship ...... It just so happened that I received your letter, so I could only follow Allah's instructions and travel thousands of miles to Chang'an to join my best brother. ”
Wealthy family grievances, power and profit, things happening everywhere, Wei Chi Yi monk naturally did not feel strange, relieved for a moment, did not mention the interest, hesitated: "Usar, you can stay in Chang'an, I am naturally very happy in my heart, but I know your spleen surname, open a shop, will definitely not make a small fuss, however, this is not the city of Khotan, I'm afraid ......"
"Good brother, you don't need to say much, I naturally understand." Usar smiled: "Here, I am just an outsider, in the eyes of the magnates of the Tang Kingdom, I am not even as good as ordinary people, if I want to gain a foothold here, I definitely need your help." ”
Monk Yu Chi Yi smiled bitterly: "If I can help, I naturally won't stand idly by, but here, I'm just a small guard officer, my ability is limited, I'm afraid I'm powerless." ”
"Good brother, you underestimate yourself." Usar said slyly: "For example, just now, a few of your friends are probably not ordinary people. ”
"I know you're coming, it's not just curious." Monk Wei Chi Yi scolded with a smile, did not hide it, and admitted: "Not to mention their own talents, there are several people's fathers who are high-ranking officials and magnates in the imperial court, but if you want to make friends with their fathers through them, I'm afraid there won't be any good results." ”
"Why is that?" Naturally, Usar was puzzled.
Monk Yu Chi Yi patiently explained: "Because this is the Central Plains, their parents, in the court and the people, have a high prestige, just like a bird cherishes its feathers, cherishes its reputation, and will not want to have anything to do with you." ”
Although he was half-understood, but he understood that Yu Chi Yi Seng would not deceive himself, Ursal nodded lightly, indicating that he was clear, but he was not discouraged, and continued to ask: "Is it all like this?" ”
"Not really, such as You Shao, and ...... Han Rui. Yu Chi Yiseng was suddenly stunned, slammed his stock, and said with a gaffe smile: "It's really time to fight, I actually missed him." ”
"Han Rui, is that the one who urged you to paint?" Ursar said that his memory was not bad.
Monk Yu Chiyi nodded and said, "That's right, it's him." ”
"What's the matter, as far as I've observed, you seem to have a lot of respect for him." Usar hurriedly asked, "His father shouldn't be a big nobleman, right?" ”
"No, but his father-in-law is." Monk Yu Chi Yi showed admiration and said with a smile: "Ursal, don't think that he relied on his in-laws to get everyone's respect, this person's talent is amazing, it's not what you can imagine, poetry and writing...... Uh, forget it, you probably don't understand it, anyway, you just need to know that he has met a lot of powerful people in the capital, and if he is willing to help you, you can sit back and relax, and you don't have to worry about other things. ”
"Really." Usar was pleasantly surprised: "Good brother, hurry up and talk about it in detail, what are his preferences?" ”
"This ...... But I don't know. Monk Yu Chiyi shook his head and said: "I only have a little friendship with him, and I really don't know much about him." ”
"So, good brother, thank you for your hard work." Usar said, patting Yu Chi Yiseng on the shoulder.
"Hard for what?" Yu Chi Yi monk is inexplicable.
"When I get home, hurry up and draw the picture he wants overnight, so that I can send it to him tomorrow."
"Ah, Ursar!"
At this time, Han Rui didn't know that he had already been worried about people, so he wandered around Chang'an City leisurely, found a more famous calligraphy and painting shop, asked the craftsman to frame the calligraphy he had paid, paid the deposit, and the shop guy would naturally deliver the goods to the door.
Han Rui hugged his warm and soft wife, and explained the itinerary of today, as well as what happened in Shangguanyi's house, and then he repeatedly performed the duties of his husband, striving to contribute to the reproduction of mankind as soon as possible.
The next day, in the beautiful morning, the sky was gloomy, as if it was about to snow, although the study house was placed in a charcoal pot for a fire, but Han Rui still couldn't refuse his wife's kindness, took a piece of delicate male yellow stone in his hand to keep warm, brewed for a while, and was about to pick up the pen and write the post, but the servant handed the guest a prayer post.
