Chapter 362: Drawing a Tiger Doesn't Become an Anti-Dog
Although Loulan and the Shun Dynasty were two regional countries, they had a striking similarity in urban construction. The street layout is criss-crossed, and the wooden architectural style is combined with bridges and roads. Although most of the buildings along the street are one-story buildings, there are also many two-story small buildings, except that the city wall is not as high as Chang'an City, and the others make Liu Yu feel as if he is in Chang'an City.
At the gate of the palace of Loulan Kingdom, Liu Yue carefully took a lot of the palace city of this exotic country, and naturally compared the palace of Loulan with the palace of the Yue clan and Chang'an City.
The scale of the palace of Loulan is larger than that of the palace of flowers and bones, but there is no tower fortress-like building of the Yue's palace, both the palace wall and the building are more simple, and there is no large amount of red paint to paint the palace wall in Loulan, and the palace wall and the palace gate maintain the most primitive adobe yellow, in this point the palace of the Yueshi and Loulan is very similar.
Liu Yu looked at the Loulan civil and military generals standing at the gate of the palace, and the "different" place was visible at a glance. There are more women than men. Liu Yu knew that Loulan was a feminist country before he came, and when he arrived here, he found that the social customs here were quite open, probably similar to the Tang Dynasty in Liu Yu's mind, and with the queen, it would be even more similar.
The clothes worn by the people of Loulan are not as simple as those of the Yueshi, whether they are ordinary people or officials, the clothes on their bodies are more colorful, which should be the printing and dyeing skills of the Central Plains. This may also be related to the inclusiveness of Loulan culture, Loulan has always had a good relationship with neighboring countries, knows how to absorb foreign knowledge and techniques, many techniques of the Central Plains have been transmitted here, whether it is architecture, or clothing printing and dyeing, Loulan people are learning the best Lu, and then live to learn according to their own conditions for their own use.
"The national teacher and the envoys have had a long journey, and on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. Best wishes. β
It was a young man who spoke. Very handsome and handsome. Speak fluent Chinese. said to send blessings, but the blessing was offered by a palace maid next to the young man, or a garland, but it was a bigger than the garland sent by the people, Liu Yuxin said that this Lou Languo really made a lot of money in order to welcome him, and how many flowers did it take to weave so many garlands. Extravagance.
The palace maid was about ten years old, a little short, and Liu Yue went to that station. She stretched out her hand and didn't put the wreath around Liu Yu's neck. Liu Yu glared at the palace maid who was offering a wreath viciously, and stared at the little girl in front of him timidly, and suddenly saw that the situation was a little stiff, and whispered: "Quickly bow your head and take it." β
"If you think there's room around my neck, you let her hang it as she pleases." Liu Yu's tone was not good, and he shook his neck, and the big trap on his neck scattered several times.
The people of Loulan, who were blocked in front of the palace and three floors outside, exclaimed in surprise when they saw the envoy throwing a garland there.
Chetu felt that Liu Yue seemed to be sulking, and hurriedly reminded again: "She sent blessings on behalf of the queen, and the wreath was also hand-woven by Her Majesty the queen." You won't embarrass so many people in our Loulan Kingdom, right? β
Liu Yu sighed and lowered his head helplessly. The little palace maid was finally able to put a wreath around Liu Yu's neck. The little palace maid's face was jealous, and she flew away as if she had sent a garland. When Liu Yu put on the queen's wreath, the people cheered enthusiastically, and the young man who spoke before came out to introduce Loulan's courtiers to Liu Yu.
They are all very long and strange names, and many pronunciations do not exist in Chinese, so they are not easy to remember. Liu Yu didn't plan to stay in Loulan for a long time, and he also left and right ears for the names of these people. It's just that when the man introduced himself, Liu Yue remembered it, his surname was Blue, his name was Khan, and he was Tianzuo of Loulan Kingdom, and he explained that Tianzuo was the chief executive of Loulan City, and Liu Yue suddenly realized that it was an official rank with Yin of Jingzhao Mansion. Although this Bulhan is the same as the Sui Guan, he has different powers, and there are more residents in Chang'an City than in Loulan alone.
Liu Yu had only known this Bruhan for a while, and he felt that this person was very unreliable, and a lot of words were said to him, but Bruhan looked at the side and said, the thief's eyes knew that the Dao was interesting to Chetu.
Could it be a lover?
Taking advantage of the gap, Liu Yu pointed at Bruhan and asked, "Your prince?" β
Chetu shook his head lightly and said, "There is no prince in Loulan, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince, there are only three princesses. Bruhan is the fiancΓ© of Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia. β
"He seems to be interested in you, too." Liu Yudao.
Chetu looked unhappy and said: "Mo Huyan, our Loulan Kingdom is not like your Central Plains, and a man here can only marry one wife." β
"Oh." Liu Yu nodded and said that he would understand, this should be the national policy of a feminist country, and monogamy is very fair.
Liu Yu felt that Bruhan was even more unreliable.
Liu Yu thought that the next step was to enter the palace to meet the queen, and he also wanted to see what the queen and the princess looked like, but who knew that Bruhan, who was in charge of the reception, took Liu Yu in the direction away from the palace. Liu Yu was surprised and asked, "Blue Tianzuo, where are you going?" β
"Bring the envoy to our welcome banquet." Bruhan said with a smile on his face, "Envoys, don't think that this place is far away from the Central Plains, so you can't eat the dishes of the Central Plains, we have the best cooks in the Central Plains here." β
When he arrived at the place, Liu Yu realized that Lu Dao Bru Khan brought him to a restaurant, which was probably temporarily renovated, and only a table was prepared in it, which was placed on the first floor, with no doors and windows in front and back, like a horse shed. It was so convenient for more people to watch the envoys of the Shun Dynasty eat, which made Liu Yu feel very weird. Liu Yu and Chetu had the right to sit down, and at the same time, Timur, who was traveling with Liu Yu, was seated, and other civil officials and generals could only stand by and watch. In order to entertain, Bruhan did not sit down, but directed the "guys" of the restaurant to serve the food.
The first dish was a plate of fish, and with Liu Yu's understanding of diet, he judged that it was a sea fish. This kind of fish can only be enjoyed by large households in Chang'an City, and it can only be enjoyed in winter, and now he can actually eat sea fish in the Western Regions, which surprised him.
"Envoy taste, it's definitely the taste of your Central Plains people."
Bruhan handed over the chopsticks, Liu Yu picked up the chopsticks, and the people outside the restaurant widened their eyes, wanting to see how the envoys of the Shun Dynasty solved a "monster". The color and fragrance are fine, but the taste is ...... It's almost dead, and it smells rancid. Liu Yu finally understood why he could eat sea fish in the Western Regions, it turned out to be salted fish, and the kind with more salt than fish.
Liu Yu was chewing there, his face was calm, and he didn't say what it tasted like, but Timur couldn't help but "cut" a small piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Although Timur was not a picky eater, she couldn't stand the smell of such a dead person, and a small piece of fish was spit directly on the table by her.
"Bah, what is this!" Timur looked at Liu Yu, "You Central Plains people, you eat such unpalatable things on weekdays?" (To be continued......)
