The Central Plains region describes the luxury of a house, and likes to use the splendor of the golden wall to describe it, of course, this idiom cannot be taken literally, after all, in the Central Plains, even if there is money, no one will really use gold to make walls. At least in the minds of Li Ke, Lu Wan and others, I'm afraid that no one will do this kind of thing.

But when they entered Abu's courtyard, everything they saw turned their minds upside down. When they first came in, this courtyard, which covers a large area, was nothing in Li Ke's eyes, and even in their opinion, the architectural techniques of the big cannibals were still a little rough, and the design was unreasonable in some places.

Then Abu took them into the main hall, which is a typical big food building, with a high and pointed roof, and the exterior decoration is also very luxurious, but after entering the main hall, Li Ke and the others all felt dazzled, because whether it was the wall or those columns, they were all full of golden light, Li Ke and they could see at a glance that they were all real gold, and on these golden walls and pillars, there were countless colorful jades, which flashed with charming brilliance under the illumination of the light.

"This ...... This ......" Even with Lu Wan's concentration, he was speechless by this room full of gold, and as for the important members of the fleet who came with him, they were all dumbfounded, and it was estimated that this kind of scene in front of them had only appeared in their dreams.

And Li Ke and Cen Changqian were full of strange colors, and at the same time thought to themselves, the taste of these big cannibals is really special, even if they are rich among the Han people, they will not paste gold all over the house, and even unceremoniously said that Abu's practice is among the Han people. It's no different from an outbreak.

Although Abu has been to the Tang Dynasty and Taiwan, he is obviously not at the height of the Han people ideologically. Especially when they saw Lu Wan's shocked expression, they also said very proudly at the moment: "Captain Lu, please take a look." This hall is carefully built by me, the outside is all made of solid bluestone, and a lot of cement has been shipped from Taiwan, which can be said to be very solid, as for the interior decoration, it is used thousands of catties of gold, and then broken into thin sheets and pasted on the wall, in addition to priceless gems, whenever I am in a bad mood. I like to stay here, looking at these fascinating golds and gemstones, and the whole person's mood will slowly improve. ”

"Well, if I stay in such a luxurious hall for a while, I will definitely feel better!" Lu Wan said half-jokingly. Although he likes to read, he is still a pirate at heart, and he has no prejudice against Abu's practice of decorating the house with gold and precious stones, and some of the people behind him are drooling. It's a pity that this is the big food. It's not a tribe of natives who can rob at will, otherwise they would really dare to kill people. After all, for these guys from the slave catcher, this kind of thing is like drinking cold water.

Abu was apparently pleased with Luvan's reaction, which greatly satisfied his vanity. And then there is a very warm reception to everyone, with barbecue and wine with a desert style, and beautiful slave girls in the company.

"It's not just the Golden House. And there is Yan Ruyu, this businessman Abu will really enjoy it! Cen Changqian tasted a sip of wine as red as blood and said with a smile.

"It's just a different concept. Our Central Plains region has always despised merchants, and their status is low. So no matter how rich they are, they don't dare to show it, but the status of the merchants of Dashi is very high, and even the status of merchants is recognized religiously, so they have a strong influence on the government, and every merchant has a deep background, so they dare to show their wealth so unscrupulously! Li Ke opened his mouth and chuckled, under the influence of Li Su over the years, his views on some things are also a little different, and sometimes they are more profound.

Cen Changqian pondered when she heard Li Ke's words, and only smiled after a while: "What His Royal Highness said is really reasonable, just like His Royal Highness the King of Qi is heavy on business, so the status of merchants in Taiwan is much higher than that in the Central Plains, and in these years, many businessmen in the Tang Dynasty have chosen to settle in Taiwan and other places, and the mansions they have built are also very luxurious, which shows that the behavior of these businessmen is really influenced by their own policies." ”

After a sumptuous dinner, Li Ke and Lu Wan rested in this courtyard, and the next morning, the merchant Abu personally arrived here, and then invited them to the city, today is the day when the bride officially enters her husband's house, not only Abu's house is full of lights, and even the street can not arrange a few bands and dancers, attracting many people to watch, it seems to be particularly lively.

Since they are participating in the wedding, of course, they have to send congratulatory gifts, which is the same whether it is in Datang or Dashi, Li Ke and they naturally can't be empty-handed, but they have all kinds of goods in their fleet, including high-end goods such as porcelain and silk, and it is also very face-saving to take out some as gifts. Among them, Lu Wan, as the captain, prepared a set of five flavors of perfume, and Li Ke also prepared a basin-sized mirror, which were all very valuable gifts.

However, what Li Ke did not expect was that when they entered Abu's house, they were told that the congratulatory gifts should not be given for the time being, but would not be given to the host until the evening, before a ceremony called 'Sabahiya' was held.

Li Ke and Lu Wan as VIPs, they were welcomed into the main hall of Abu's house, this main hall is not much different from the main hall of the other courtyard, although the wall is not pasted with gold, but all hung with Shu brocade worth 10,000 gold, this kind of Shu brocade in the Tang Dynasty The output is very low, it was only used by the royal family and nobles before, and later because of the stimulation of industry and commerce, the output has increased to a certain extent, but it is also quite limited, even in the Tang Dynasty and Taiwan and other places, there is also a saying that every inch of brocade is gold, although the Shu brocade here in Abu is not the best, but in a place like Dashi, Definitely more valuable than gold.

In addition, in addition to these precious Shu brocades, the walls and pillars are also inlaid with a lot of gemstones, and Abu and the guests who come and go also carry a lot of gemstone ornaments, it seems that these big cannibals really have a soft spot for gemstones.

The wedding of the big cannibal was very luxurious, especially in terms of wine banquet, and the Central Plains delicacies prepared by Abu were naturally very popular, and the guests who came to congratulate them were also full of praise.

Li Ke and the others are very interested in some of the delicacies of Dashi, such as a roasted camel, which is a must-have food at the wedding banquet of Dashi. This dish is made by first putting a hard-boiled egg in the belly of the fish, then the money is roasted, then it is put into the belly of a chicken or duck, then it is roasted and put into the belly of a sheep, and finally the roasted sheep is put into the belly of a camel, which is cooked directly at the banquet, and then the host takes out the egg from the belly and gives it to the most distinguished guests at the banquet.

Although the guests in the banquet were the most honorable as Li Ke, it was a pity that they could not be exposed, so in the end, the egg was given to Lu Wan by Abu, and then everyone shared the roast camel. Li Ke tasted it curiously and found that the camel meat was actually not delicious, but the mutton and chicken in the camel's belly had a different flavor.

After the wedding banquet, it began to enter the ritual of 'Saba Xiye', but before that, it was the guests who gave gifts to the newlyweds, among which the gifts of Lu Wan and Li Ke also caused a sensation, because whether it is perfume or mirror, it is a luxury used by the Tang nobles, and there are very few of them.

What made Li Ke feel very interesting was the final Sabahiye ceremony, which was simply the bride showing her dowry and jewelry to the guests, and the richer the dowry and jewelry, the more face the bride's family had. Speaking of which, the bride's family is a local government official, and their wealth is naturally not comparable to that of Abu, but the dowry prepared is also very rich.

The wedding was very lively and luxurious, but Li Ke regretted that they couldn't see the bride's true face from beginning to end, because in the process of the wedding, the male and female guests were separated, and the bride did not show up until the final wedding, but it was very tightly wrapped, and she couldn't see the beauty, ugliness, fat and thin.

After seeing the bride and groom enter the cave room, the guests outside continue to celebrate, after all, this is the first day of the wedding, and this kind of celebration lasts for a month. Of course, Li Ke and they won't stop here for a month, and the cooks of those fleets will only help here for three days, and then they will leave, which is also what was negotiated with Abu before.

"Your Royal Highness, we have a saying that the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, but the custom of this big food is very strange, today the groom has to keep the empty room alone, and he can't see the bride until the next morning, and he wasted this thousand taels of gold in vain!" Cen Changqian pulled Li Ke and said quietly, with a dirty smile on her face.

And Li Ke also joked after hearing this: "That Mr. Abu can decorate the house with tens of thousands of taels of gold, what is a few thousand taels of gold?" ”

In the following celebrations, Abu ordered a huge bonfire to be lit in the courtyard, and then many beautiful slave girls danced around the fire, these slave girls did not cover their whole bodies like the big cannibal women, but wore light veils, revealing graceful curves, with the swing of their waists, attracting the attention of many young men in the field.

When Li Ke and Lu Wan went back in the evening, Abu gave them another surprise, that is, they arranged a female slave to sleep for each of them, the reason why they were not arranged last night was because considering that Lu Wan had just arrived yesterday, they were tired and needed to rest for a night.

For Abu's kindness, Lu Wan and the others naturally will not refuse, and even Li Ke and Cen Changqian have always considered themselves romantic figures, and in this foreign country, wouldn't it be a pity not to taste this exotic style?

It's just that Li Ke and they are romantic, and poor Abu's son is the protagonist of this wedding, but he has to stay alone in the empty room until dawn tonight. (To be continued......)
