Chapter Ninety-Two: The Grand Meeting of the Eight Directions
After the winter, there were several heavy snowfalls in Chang'an City, which could cover the insteps of people's feet, and Xie Ying built a snowman in the courtyard.
"Lady!" Hongying rushed over, "Today, the envoys of various countries have entered the city!" ”
Xie Yingzheng took the branch in Hongye's hand and inserted it into the snowman, "I know, in a few days it will be the Winter Solstice Dynasty!" ”
Hongying leaned around Xie Ying, "Lady, let's go out and have a look!" ”
Seeing that Xie Ying didn't talk, Hongying couldn't wait to continue, "Lady, go out for a walk!" ”
Xie Ying clapped her hands, looked at the snowman she had built with satisfaction, and then looked at her sideways, "I just want to go out!" ”
"Doesn't the lady want to?" Red Tassel snorted softly with her hand.
She immediately laughed twice, "Go!" ”
Combing a double-ring hanging bun and bringing a power fence, Xie Ying changed into a thick red round-necked robe, the corners of the robe were embroidered with white plums, a short knife was pinned to it, and a pair of sheepskin boots were stepped on.
Xie Ying was not afraid of the cold, just to reassure Zhou, she wrapped a collar made of rabbit fur around her neck, and Hongye also burned a hand stove for her to hold.
There was still snow on Chang'an Street, so they stopped taking the carriage and walked more proudly along the way.
The Northwest Hou Mansion was open to the street, and the Kaihuafang was next to the Vermilion Bird Street, and when they went out, they could see all kinds of Hu people going to the Honglu Temple in the imperial city.
"The clothes are from Hui's!" Red Tassel became excited.
"That's a Tibetan." Momiji also opened her mouth happily.
In the past, they could always see all kinds of Hu people in Liangzhou, but they were only in the west. And now they are not the only ones who will come.
"These clothes should be from Goryeo."
"What about those?"
"Nanzhao Zhubu!" Xie Ying thought for a moment before speaking. There are also people from many countries who wear their unique clothing styles, and Xie Ying can't recognize them.
It seems that he is just a frog at the bottom of a well in Liangzhou.
And these Hu people are all nobles of various countries, and most of them live in Dongshi. Xie Ying took advantage of the city drum and stepped on the snow to go to the East Market.
"Lady, it's so fragrant!"
Before they arrived in the East Market, they were attracted by the Hu Cake Shop in Yongle Fang. Now that the Winter Solstice Conference is being held, the imperial court has relaxed the business in the market a lot.
This kind of fried flatbread is the way of eating by the Hu people, the noodles are kneaded with pepper, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and fried in oil, and you can eat a crispy and salty aroma. Each of the three of them took a piece and ate it on the street as they went to the East Market.
"I haven't eaten it in a long time!" Xie Ying stuffed a mouthful and said with satisfaction before swallowing.
At this moment, the East Market can be said to be overcrowded, and all kinds of shops have been stocked with all kinds of goods brought by nobles from various countries.
The jewelry store has all kinds of jade sent by Hui Hui, all kinds of agate from Tibet, and what kind of glass and pearls...... There are a lot of dazzling colors, and the ladies of Chang'an City are eager for it.
Tailor shops also hung leathers, tiger skins from the north, fox skins from the northwest; There are also fabrics from various countries, with their own characteristics, and finding a piece to make a shawl, or covering it by hand, can become a new fashion in Chang'an at any time.
The rouge shop has a new makeup powder; The jewelry shop is a hairpin ring from all over the world, which is all made; The gluttonous building is even busier, and the doctor who delivers the food can't wait to fly.
"Yo, what a coincidence!"
Xie Ying was pinching a piece of cake and stuffing it into her mouth, and Yu Jimo swaggered to her eyes.
He likes to wear plain and light clothes, and he can't put on a big coat like he does now.
Xie Ying turned around and was about to leave, but Yu Jimo hurriedly caught up, "Xie Niangzi just came and is going to leave again!" ”
"Stay waiting for you to take advantage of?" She didn't stop, "Wear so little, go back to Mingyufang by yourself!" ”
His eyes immediately showed joy, "You are finally willing to care about me!" ”
Xie Ying gritted his teeth and suddenly stopped his feet, he wanted to go up and her two maids stopped him.
"Lang Jun, what our lady means is less dangling in front of her eyes." After Hongying snorted, Xie Ying continued to walk forward.
Now that he is reluctant to speak by himself, Yu Jimo still continues to keep up, and he can still rank his name in terms of being thick-skinned.
"Today, all nations are coming, you are gone, how can you see the excitement?" He asked as he chased.
Hongying immediately looked back at him, ran three or two steps to Xie Ying's side and muttered, "Lady, you can't get rid of this person!" ”
Breaking off another piece of bread, Xie Ying said as she chewed, "I know." ”
Her mind had thought of wanting to get rid of him by passing through the various alleys between the markets, but this was Chang'an, and Xie Ying was not familiar with it.
And with this person's character, as long as Xie Ying does not explicitly refuse, he will definitely be entangled.
Xie Ying walked here, looking east and west, until she finished eating the cake, she turned around, lowered her eyes and asked while wiping her hands, "What are you going to do?" ”
Yu Jimo immediately stepped forward happily, "Aren't you here to join in the fun?" I'm here with you! ”
"No, there's no need."
Xie Ying raised his eyes and his eyes were full of frost, Yu Jimo pulled the corners of his mouth, and immediately looked at him crying, "Just the matter of falling into the water, as for it?" ”
"Overboard?" Xie Ying snorted coldly, "If it weren't for you, why would the rumors come from?" Do you come again today to harm me? ”
Yu Jimo immediately smacked his lips and leaned forward, "It's the lady herself who said that she is not afraid of martial arts, how can she be afraid of 'crowds of gold'!" ”
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xie Ying's mouth, and Yu Jimo smiled even brighter, it was rare for him to see her smile.
"I knew your purpose that day, so why should I be tempted again and again?"
He let himself stand still again, and said with a sad face: "I am also doing business in Chang'an City, and I am also doing business for my own survival!" ”
Then the situation changed, and he smiled again, "That's why I'm here today to make amends to you!" ”
"Don't dangle in front of me," Xie Ying was still so cold, "I don't have any connection with people like you." ”
"Are you that ruthless?" He bit his lip slightly.
Xie Ying gritted her teeth, "That's it, don't follow me anymore." As he spoke, he could watch her put his hand on the dagger.
"This is the East Market, and your identity is so precious, you don't dare to kill me." There was contempt in his tone.
"Poof" was the sound of the knife coming out of the sheath, Xie Ying's keen eyes stared at his neck tightly, and he had to swallow.
"You can give it a try, after all, your Mingyufang is not a good place."
When he watched Xie Ying raise his eyebrows and say "Murong Wangfu" with his lips, Yu Jimo's heart became even more excited, this matter was really becoming more and more interesting.
Xie Ying turned to leave, how could he just give up?
She was able to find out the relationship between Mingyufang and Murong Wangfu, and he hurriedly caught up, "Didn't you come to Dongshi just to have a visit?" ”
"I can really accompany you!" The tone was soft, as if he was flattering.
