[Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Chance Encounter, Rome's Imagination]
Yan Ruyue and Zhou Hui walked side by side on the street. There was not a single retinue with him.
Shen Yuan's family matched them with two maids, but the two of them didn't like to be followed when they went out, so they ran out alone.
The news that Princess Duanping, the daughter of Duke Ying, came to Bohai County is a top secret that only a few people in the Shen family know. Although this Han era is far less strict than that of the later Ming and Qing dynasties, there is still a necessary sense of secrecy.
This is already the seventh day of Shen Yun's departure, and Shen Yun should have arrived in Qingchuan County by the time. Xiao Taishou has also issued an order to Fusang Prefecture, and the Fusang Prefecture Second Class Regiment is coming to Bohai Mansion to assemble through the Shen family's merchant ships. All in all, the situation is very good.
Pedestrians on the streets were not as anxious as they had been when they heard that the Japanese had captured Qingchuan County, with shops wide open and vendors setting up stalls on the roadside. From time to time, there are also foot traders carrying osmanthus sweet wine in the streets and alleys, and the shouting is spread throughout Bohai Mansion.
The Han people have regained their composure, and there is a second-class legion out of the horse, aren't the Japanese robbers still ready to be captured?!
On a peaceful, peaceful and prosperous street, Yan Ruyue and Zhou Hui walked in ordinary moon-white Hanfu.
Although they didn't deliberately dress up, the two of them were beautiful and beautiful, and their beautiful appearance still made passers-by look sideways.
Yan Ruyue has been accustomed to the envious eyes around her since she was a child, so she walked quite slowly, and she was still a little irritable between her eyebrows, as if she was hesitant about something.
On the contrary, Zhou Hui was a little uncomfortable, holding Yan Ruyue tightly with one hand, and said in his ear: "Sister Yan, let's go home quickly!" ”
Yan Ruyue didn't hear it, Xiuzu wearing moon-white floral shoes kicked the blue brick floor hard, and said angrily: "Hui'er, why did you say that even the shopkeeper refused to come forward on my behalf and go to the bank to help me with this mortgage?" ”
Her delicate and annoyed appearance suddenly aroused the side eyes of the passers-by around her, and her demeanor was simply extremely attractive, especially the men passing by, who wanted to put their eyes on her, and even bumped into the street stall on the side of the road as if they hadn't even noticed it.
Zhou Hui couldn't stand it anymore, dragged Yan Ruyue into the nearest restaurant, went straight to the secluded place on the second floor, asked the cousin for a pot of tea and a plate of side dishes, and then sat down.
The little two were grinding when they were delivering tea, as if they wanted to entangle a few more words with the two beauties, but they were blown away by Zhou Huiyi's glare.
Only at this time did Zhou Hui say: "Sister Yan, you don't want to think about why you came to this Bohai Mansion, Uncle Yan is still angry with you!"
Shopkeeper Lian is willing to help you transport the Shen family's goods to the south, and it is already your Miss Yan's ability not to make extra profits, and you still want Shopkeeper Lian to help you go to the Imperial Bank?
Please, he can hide Uncle Yan's business for a while, but how can you hide the matter of being linked to the bank? If Uncle Yan knows, he won't be able to do it anymore......"
Yan Ruyue frowned, patted the table irritably, and said, "Then what should I do, I have already promised Madame, if this can't be done, what face will I have!" ”
Zhou Hui sighed lightly: "Shen Yuanrang, who doesn't leave you for three sentences, really makes people's ears callous...... I said let me help you, but you don't agree......"
Yan Ruyue glanced at her and said, "Is it that I don't agree?" Hmph, it's your method that doesn't work at all, okay! He also said that he wanted to show his identity as a princess and go to the president of the Bohai branch, hey, you don't want to think about it, you are as disgraceful as me now. If the Queen Mother knows that you are here, she must immediately send someone to arrest you back......"
After speaking, she looked out the window faintly, and sighed with a heavy heart: "Alas, this can't do it, it doesn't work, what should I do!" I don't know what happened to Yuan to him......"
"Two beautiful young ladies, are you talking about Shen Yun and Shen Yuanrang?"
An abrupt voice rang in their ears, startling them.
"Wow, you ...... People, how can you walk without making a sound! Scared the hell out of me! Zhou Hui patted his bulging chest and said in shock.
That cute appearance made the visitor dumbfounded, and his eyes looked straight at him several times before he withdrew his gaze, and gently bowed to Zhou Hui and Yan Ruyue, but it was not a fist-hugging etiquette that only Han people have, but a gentleman's etiquette of the West with one hand behind his back and one hand on his belly!
"I'm sorry to see two beautiful ladies in Nizhny Uzi-Husk-Mano. I would like to express my sincerest apologies for the abruptness just now! ”
The person who came was a Roman with blonde hair, wearing Hanfu, and speaking Chinese, which is why Zhou Hui had a meal just now.
The Romans Zhou Hui and Yan Ruyue are not uncommon, and even the son of the Duke of Rome has seen them countless times, so naturally they will not make a fuss. In fact, the entire Han Empire would not have been surprised by the high-nosed and deep-eyed Westerners, especially the Bohai City, which was visited by many Roman merchant ships every year.
Zhou Hui glanced at him and didn't say anything. However, Yan Ruyue still paid great attention to etiquette when she saw that outsiders, and gently gestured to him, and then said, "It doesn't matter." Are you from the Mano-family of the Roman Empire? ”
Mano let out a "ah", sat on the bench opposite them, and said with a smile: "This young lady, do you also know the Mano family?" ”
Zhou Hui was very disgusted when he saw this behavior. In the imperial capital, she has seen countless prodigal disciples who beat dogs and sticks, all of them are like scoundrels, and they will be entangled and chatted about every opportunity.
Speaking of Deng's disciples, Zhou Hui suddenly remembered that alternative disciple, he actually dared to throw himself into the lake, and the other Deng's disciples were too late to stammer, just like the one in front of him, how could he dare to do this to himself?
Yan Ruyue didn't notice that Zhou Hui was already distracted, although she also knew that this person named Ma Nuo came over on purpose to talk to her, but before he showed his intentions, Yan Ruyue was not too rude to people. After all, this is a busy city, and he is a Roman, so he must not dare to entangle himself too much.
Yan Ruyue chuckled: "I study history, so I know a little bit!" The Mano family had four Augustans, all of them wise and martial emperors, and the patriarch of the Mano family was the Titan Husk Mano, the governor of the Roman Empire's province of Asia. ”
Mano laughed and said, "This young lady is really knowledgeable, and I admire and admire it." Dare to ask what is the name of Miss Fang? ”
"After asking the name, should I ask Fangchen, and then ask if there is a marriage match!" Zhou Hui woke up from the outside of the wandering object, and when he heard this, he coldly sarcastically said, "Save it, my sister Yan is already famous!" ”
Ma Nuo ignored Zhou Hui's cynicism, looked at Yan Ruyue's delicate face, and said in a trance: "Oh, it turned out to be Miss Yan, fortunately, I will be lucky!" I wonder if I will be lucky enough to know the name of the young lady? ”
Zhou Hui was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that his casual words would let this foreign disciple know the information, which is really hateful. Now she puffed out her cheeks, looked at Yan Ruyue angrily and shook her head again and again.
Yan Ruyue naturally wouldn't tell her name to strangers casually, she smiled and said, "You just call me Miss Yan." You are a member of the Mano family, so you shouldn't have come to Dahan to do business! ”
Ma Nuo knew that these two women were definitely not the kind of big-chested and brainless people, and chuckled: "Hehe, can't the people of the Ma Nuo family do business?" I did come to Dahan to do business, and it was a big business...... Miss Yan is a student of history, but is she a student of Bohai University? ”
This Ma Nuo took the topic aside with a few understatements, and Yan Ruyue listened to it a little uncomfortable. This kind of intrigue language game, she was tired of listening to it when she was a teenager, so at this moment she gave Zhou Hui a look, stood up and said, "Our sisters still have something to do, let's leave first!" See you again one day! ”
"It's better not to see!" Zhou Hui snorted and was about to get up and leave with Yan Ruyue.
Ma Nuo suddenly said: "Don't the two young ladies want to know why they asked Yuan Rangjun below?" ”
Yan Ruyue and Zhou Hui were really stunned, and turned their heads to look at Ma Nuo suspiciously.
Ma Nuo got up and smiled: "Two young ladies, please don't get me wrong, I'm not a below. I am an international student at Bohai University, and I had a meeting with Yuan Rangjun half a month ago, and I met him at first sight and had a very happy relationship. There is still my name in the song "Will Enter the Wine"! I also heard that the two young ladies seemed to have something difficult to solve related to the Shen family, and in line with the idea that friends should help each other, they bothered with words, which was really sorry! Shame, shame! ”
Shen Yun's song "Will Enter the Wine" spread throughout the Bohai Sea the next day, and it was spreading to the whole country at a very fast speed. Yan Ruyue and Zhou Hui also heard this incident in the teahouse a few days ago, and they felt very proud when they heard it.
Look, such a heroic poem was made by Shen Yun, he is my sweetheart!
Thinking about it carefully, there is really a sentence in that poem "Ma Nuojun, Ling Husheng, will enter the wine, don't stop the cup, and sing a song with Jun, please listen to it for me", at that time they were still surprised who this "Ma Nuojun" and "Ling Husheng" were, and they only knew the truth today.
Since there are poems as evidence, Yan Ruyue and Zhou Hui suddenly fell in love with Wu and Wu, and their views on Ma Nuo also changed instantly.
The three of them sat down again, and Zhou Hui complained: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" However, how can this Shen Yuan's friends all have a virtuous character, they all look like debauchers! ”
Yan Ruyue smiled, glanced at Zhou Hui, Zhou Hui stuck out his tongue, and said busily: "It's me who lost my words, don't blame Ma Nuojun!" ”
Ma Nuo smiled: "Miss Yan Er is quick to talk, straightforward and does not let her eyebrows, and she is really temperamental!" It's one of my generation! ”
Yan Ruyue giggled: "Ma Nuojun misunderstood, my surname is Yan, but she is not." Her surname is Zhou, but she is like a sister to me, and it is not bad! ”
"Ah, that's my gaffe, Miss Zhou, you and I have lost our words once, okay?" Mano said and picked up the teacup, drank it all, and touched his lips like wine, and said with a bitter face: "Why is this tea the same as wine today?" Didn't you meet a beautiful woman today, isn't tea drunk and everyone gets drunk? ”
Zhou Hui laughed, and his unhappiness was swept away. On the contrary, I think this Mano is really interesting.
Because of Shen Yun's relationship, the three of them quickly chatted together. When he heard the names of Yan Ruyue and Zhou Hui, Ma Nuo's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself: Sure enough, the guess is right, these two people are really the daughters of Yan Zhun and Yinggong. Although they refused to reveal their identities, hum, the Empire's intelligence gathering could not be wrong.
It's just that why did the two of them come to Bohai Mansion? This Yan Zhun's daughter is okay to say, why is the daughter of Yinggong here? Could it be that the British Duke was already wary of Rome's actions? Well, I have to be careful, it looks like I need to talk to them.
Thinking of this, Mano was even more attentive to the two women. Of course, Ma Nuo himself is still quite handsome, and he has studied at Bohai University for many years, and he is very proficient in the Han language, and his conversation is quite funny, which made the two girls giggle for a while.
In the end, Zhou Huixin was straightforward and said that he wanted to go to the Imperial Bank to apply for a guaranteed loan, but he couldn't find an acquaintance.
As soon as Ma Nuo heard it, he knew that this was a good time to have a good relationship with these two women with unusual backgrounds, and patted his chest and said: "This matter is wrapped up in the next body, Miss Yan and Miss Zhou will follow you to the Imperial Bank tomorrow!" ”
Zhou Hui glanced at him in disbelief: "You? Do you have any acquaintances at the bank? ”
Ma Nuo smiled: "Didn't Miss Zhou listen to Miss Yan just now, I'm a member of the Mano family." Besides, I came to Dahan this time to do a big business, and I will guarantee the affairs of the Shen family's merchant ships! I believe that with the strength of the Mano family, your bank should not refuse this matter, right?! ”
Yan Ruyue's eyes lit up, she thought about it and smiled: "This is a good way." The Mano family is quite famous in Dahan, so the Imperial Bank should not refuse. ”
Zhou Hui clapped his hands and smiled: "This is great! Mano-kun, thank you! When Yuan Rang comes back, I will ask him to make you another "Will Enter the Wine" to show your gratitude! ”
Mano said with a bitter face: "Huh? Do you still want to drink? Last time, he drank enough with Yuan Rangjun, and he and I were both carried back! ”
Thinking of the troubles of that night and Shen Yun's drunken appearance, Yan Zhou and the two smiled at the same time.
