Chapter 694: Attacked
And the full moon banquet of the Yang family, the most surprising thing is that people in the palace actually sent congratulatory gifts.
A small military general has a queen, and the royal family will show grace again, and they will not pay attention to it.
No matter how everyone speculates, the Yang Mansion's washing banquet this time is indeed a beautiful one.
And Mrs. Yang's thoughtful personality also regarded this imperial grace as the light of Bai Ling, even if she had any plans in her heart, it was completely extinguished.
"Well, as long as the Yang family can be good and the heirs can grow up safely, I am also worthy of the ancestors of the Yang family." Old Madam Yang sighed.
Western Han Kingdom.
After the Queen Mother took the prescription, her spirit improved significantly.
The emperor was overjoyed and ordered someone to give a reward to Bai Ling and his wife.
Although these black pearls were bought by the royal family with silver, if it weren't for the fact that the couple had so much quantity and excellent quality, the Queen Mother's illness would have been delayed.
"Ninth brother, this Duan family son, can you inquire carefully?" The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty summoned the nine princes into the palace and waved away the inquiries of his subordinates.
"A businessman, what is his brother doing to find out what he is doing? Isn't there a customs clearance document? The tone of the Nine Princes was not very good.
The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty glared at the Nine Princes, but he had no intention of punishing the crime.
Obviously, the attitude of the Nine Princes has long been accustomed to the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.
"Customs clearance documents can be faked, especially those who are in high positions of power, or who have silver and can see the sky, what can't they do?" After the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty finished speaking, he snorted coldly: "I have received news that the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty sent the prince and concubine of the Han Dynasty to the Western Han Kingdom to find Shang Lao. ”
The Nine Princes frowned, glanced at the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty angrily, and said indifferently: "If the imperial brother is afraid, let the person go." The younger brother didn't think that the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty would send someone to come, and he would send a woman, and he was not afraid of causing trouble. ”
"If it were an ordinary woman, it would be impossible. You have been at the border for a long time, and you are not well-informed enough, so you don't know the origin of this princess. But have you heard of the auspicious county lord? That's Shang Lao's apprentice, and the blue is better than the blue. ”
The tone of the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was a little appreciative.
"It's a pity that it's not my woman from the Western Han Kingdom, otherwise I wouldn't need to invite Shang Lao to be a guest."
"Brother Huang is talking about the auspicious lord who made two crops and invented the suture technique?" The Ninth Prince asked with a little interest.
"Exactly." The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty nodded, and said with a straight face: "Recently, there have been many martial arts masters in Kyoto, and they must be inseparable from this one." ”
"How can the emperor be sure that the auspicious county lord is Shang Lao's apprentice? There doesn't seem to be a rumor in the market. "Except for being interested in military politics, the Nine Princes rarely care about other things.
"This matter is a supreme secret. However, what the royal family of the Eastern Han Kingdom knows, I naturally have channels to know. "The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was self-satisfied.
The Nine Princes didn't ask much, the royal families of all countries will try their best to bury stakes in other countries, this is an eternal rule.
Especially the Western Han Kingdom and the Eastern Han Kingdom, which are in the same lineage, are buried deeper.
"What does the imperial brother want his brother to do?" The Nine Princes asked.
"I want you to ......" The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty beckoned, motioned for the Nine Princes to come forward, and whispered a few words.
The Nine Princes nodded expressionlessly and turned to leave.
The Bai Ling couple in the inn did not know that the emperor of the Western Han Kingdom was doubting their identity.
The two of them deliberately dressed up today, dressed very gorgeously, and they could see at a glance that they were from merchants, and there were many gold, silver and jewelry.
"How do I feel like I'm a walking mussel shell?" Bai Ling touched the pearl necklace that had been wrapped around his neck several times, pursed his lips speechlessly, and resisted the urge to take it off.
Since it is a trade between the two countries, it is naturally based on the scarce things of the Western Han Dynasty.
In addition to a large number of pearls, there are also various pearl jewelry in this transaction, but they are all popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which can be regarded as tail goods processing.
"In this world, except for Ling'er, there will never be anyone who can wear it like this, not vulgar, but adding to the luxury." Playing with the pearl necklace around Bai Ling's neck, as soon as Shangguan Yu lowered his head, the hair crown on his head made a tinkling collision sound.
There is no way, this hair crown was specially picked out of the space by Bai Ling, and it was decorated with pearls.
"Poof." Bai Ling couldn't help laughing, and flicked Shangguan Yu's hair crown with his fingers, "Gongzi Ruyu, I've heard of it." This son is like a pearl, and it is estimated that it has become a trend in the Western Han Dynasty. ”
Yes, in the Western Han Dynasty, jade was also a precious thing.
But the sons and daughters of rich families have to inlay a pearl on a good jade stone to show their noble status.
And the pearl bracelet is not only worn by women, but also by men.
Even on the sachet around the waist, regardless of gender, a string of pearl ornaments must be hung.
It's just that there is a big difference in quality, and there is also a saying in color, not what is the identity, and they are all qualified to wear colored pearls as pendants.
"When I return to the Eastern Han Dynasty, I must remove the pearls from this crown and take Ling'er to hunt birds." Shangguan Yu grinded his teeth and said that he didn't like this feminine outfit very much.
That's right, in Shangguan Yu's view, pearls are exclusive to women.
"Don't mind, it's just a cultural difference. If you don't like it, let's sell it at a high price. What is the difference between striking a bird with pearls and throwing silver? ”
As a fan of wealth, Bai Ling immediately retorted, and without giving Shangguan Yu a chance to speak again, he directly took his hand.
"My husband doesn't like it, so in the future, I don't put a pearl in my wife's jewelry box, how about it?"
"Madame's natural face, she looks good with any jewelry, and she doesn't have to worry about her husband's feelings." Shangguan Yu forgot about Bai Ling's intention to please him.
As Bai Ling said, although this hair crown will not be used again, if it is sold, it can feed several ordinary people, how can it be wasted?
The couple didn't care about other people's eyes, and got into the carriage hand in hand.
The place to make an appointment to discuss business is not in the inn, but in a restaurant two streets away.
Nian Xia and Jian Qiu each held three brocade boxes, which contained samples of pearls, white and colored samples respectively, divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
This is a prosperous area, the road is wide and flat, and the carriage does not go fast, so naturally it will not be bumpy.
"Later, we had a son, so he could walk and start practicing martial arts. When he became an adult, he handed over the Han Palace's mansion to him, and my wife and I went to various places to do business, and by the way, how about seeing the scenery? Seeing Bai Ling raise the curtain of the car, Shangguan Yu suddenly had such a thought.
"I mourn for my son, whom I have never met." After Bai Ling finished speaking, he frowned and asked, "How can you be sure that we will definitely have a son, not a daughter?" ”
"If my daughter is a daughter, we will take her to travel the world, and I am reluctant to let my daughter who looks like you go to the border to suffer. Men, they should stand up to the sky and go to the battlefield to defend their families and the country......"
Before Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he fell silent.
Protecting the family and defending the country, these four words are the family motto of the Han Palace.
But now, Shangguan Yu deeply doubts whether it is right or wrong for the Han Wangfu to adhere to this creed.
It is true that the Han Wangfu has never had the heart of rebellion, and has even been enduring the persecution of the royal family.
But at the end of the day, what did you get?
Knowing that Shangguan Yu thought of something unpleasant, Bai Ling held his hand instead, and wanted to say a few words of relief.
But before Bai Ling could speak, a sharp arrow pierced through the curtain of the car and came towards the position of the two.
Shangguan Yu turned over violently and protected Bai Ling under him, but his arm was cut by a sharp arrow.
"Shangguan!" Bai Ling exclaimed, but Shangguan Yu covered his mouth, and only made a muffled sound.
