Chapter 106: Orchid Chana
It has been more than a month since she came to Hexi, and she has become more and more familiar with Yang Che's colleagues, and Tan Yin has also begun to like this vast and majestic land.
All ethnic groups in Hexi live together, and they have always had a strong exotic atmosphere. Tan Yin has always been particularly curious about orchids, and Yang Che finally found time to take her to the most famous orchid brewery in the city.
Yang Che and Tan Yin are in a carriage, there are many pedestrians on the street, although the prosperity is not as good as that of Shangjing and Suzhou and Hangzhou, but the streets are also wide and there are many people.
Liangzhou is prosperous day by day, some shops are being redecorated, all of them are large shops, and the decoration is becoming more and more gorgeous and elegant. Many families are also renovating their houses, originally there were many bungalows in the northwest, but these new houses are all two- and three-storey.
"The population of Liangzhou has increased dramatically for most of the past six months, and the rent of houses has more than doubled. The city has not been updated for many years, and it is dilapidated, but now many people have renovated their houses, and the whole city is changing with each passing day, and it is full of vitality. Not only the merchants of the Western Regions, but even the big merchants of the upper capital of Great Xia also set up a business here. Yang Che explained.
"I heard Uncle Chen say that the bitter cold here, the land is barren, there is little rain and many disasters, and the life of the border people is very hard. Tan Yin said, remembering his name as a war Buddha.
Yang Che smiled slightly: "The people just want to have food and clothing, so that they will not starve to death and freeze to death in the disaster year, and they will not sell their sons and daughters, who can meet this point will be able to convince the people." They are the most practical, whether you use Confucianism or Taoism, or the world on horseback. ”
Water can carry a boat and it can also capsize a boat, and this truth has not changed since ancient times.
……
Falling flowers wander wherever they go, and laugh into the orchid restaurant.
This orchid distillery is particularly brightly decorated, which is very different from the style of the Central Plains.
The vermilion doorpost is painted with an open-eyed fierce lion, the lapis blue screen is engraved with exotic customs, and the peacock green curtain is inlaid with lace edges.
The most beautiful nature is the girls from exotic lands. Their skin was as white as ivory, their emerald eyes, their noses were high, and their maroon hair was wavy.
Tan Yin and Yang Che sat in the private room facing the stage on the second floor, and Yang Wu Liansang Honeysuckle and other secret guards accompanied him.
Yang Che made people get on the wine of the Western Regions, mellow and clear, which is completely different from the wine of the Central Plains Valley. The delicious beef and lamb are grilled on the stove, and in a short time the meat is full of mouth-watering aromas. Cheese, almond grapes, and sea buckthorn juice are all unique snacks in the Western Regions.
The orchid danced in a graceful manner, with affection and vein, and the slender waist was primitive, and the Hu whirling dance circled and circled, as if there was no end, and finally fell to the ground with his head up. After the dance, there was already thunderous applause.
"Good !!" Tan Yin also applauded warmly, extremely excited.
Some guys have already taken trays to each table to collect money, and the orchids on the stage keep throwing winks and kisses at each table, but there is a tulle on the outside of this private room, and people outside can't see inside.
"Orchids are amorous, and if they like a person, they will directly say that there are many people who intermarry with the locals, and the children born are very good-looking." Yang Wu said.
"Is the child born like a father or like a mother?" Honeysuckle asked.
"Some are like dads, some are like moms, girls are more like dads, boys are more like moms, but they are all good-looking, and the best-looking children I've ever seen are mixed-race kids."
Honeysuckle was unconvinced and muttered: "In the future, the children born to our girl and Hou Ye will be the best-looking." ”
Tan Yin blushed suddenly, why did Honeysuckle talk about it here.
Yang Che curled the corners of his mouth and looked at her meaningfully, and the others also smiled and nodded in agreement.
Tan Yin was very embarrassed, and just about to relieve herself, she got up and went out, and Honeysuckle accompanied her girl.
......
When the two of them came back and just went up the stairs, they saw the two of them enter the room from a distance, only to see a flash from the side.
a man and a woman, the man was tall and wore a golden robe; The woman is slender and wears a peacock green dress.
After a while, the man's loud voice was heard from inside the room to outside the room.
"Brother Yang, Chana said you are here, at first I didn't believe it. It is rumored that you will wash your hands in a golden basin and no longer set foot in Fengyue occasions. ”
"Kuriza, why didn't I come?" Yang Che said with a smile.
"Yo, isn't this a marriage and being detained! Fortunately, Chana's tears have flowed several bottles, and if you don't come again, you won't even be able to hold the basin. Kuriza laughed.
"Kuriza, what nonsense are you talking about, Master Hou is a family man now." Chana's crisp voice came.
"Hey, can the eagle flying high in the sky still be entangled by a sparrow, and the war Buddha can still be trapped in the family house. A good man should drink the best wine, ride the strongest horse, and reward the most beautiful woman. Kuriza said disapprovingly.
"Don't say any more, Mrs. Hui will come over later." Yang Wu hurriedly interrupted Curiza's lyrical recitation.
"Yang Wu, are you kidding again, would Brother Yang bring his wife to such a place? She saw that these girls were only afraid of hatred. I saw the green waist in Yuehualou at the end of last year, and she cried and said that she was willing to be a slave and a maid for Brother Yang, but I was afraid that my wife would not agree. ”
Yue Niang said unhappily: "What does this have to do with Madame, there are many people who want to serve Master Hou." ”
Kuriza showed disbelief in his eyes, "How can it have nothing to do with Madame, if she agrees, will Brother Yang still want such a beautiful girl with a green waist." ”
Chana giggled: "I've always heard that the dance of the green-waisted girl is one of the three uniques in Beijing, and it's so beautiful that even the peacock doesn't dare to open the screen in front of her, I really want to see it." ”
Kuriza showed a hint of playfulness: "Chana, the green waist is not comparable to ordinary girls." ”
Yang Wu saw Chana showing a slight disappointment, and hurriedly said: "Chana girl, the green-waisted girl naturally likes many people, but Hexi here likes you, you see how many people come to this wine shop!" ”
Chana was so praised by Yang Wu, she was happy, she glanced at Yang Che slightly, and saw that when he mentioned the green waist from just now to now, his expression did not change at all, and he did not say a word, it seems that the affection for the girl in Beijing is not so deep, and the green waist must not be as beautiful as the legend, she already has the intention of competition, and now she is happy in her heart.
Tan Yin saw that Kuriza was talking more and more, and he had already talked about her, and she felt embarrassed, and it was not impossible to enter, but now she had to go in hard.
As soon as she walked in, everyone's eyes were looking at her.
Kuriza has a square face and a high nose, deep-set eyes, and a beard that is beautifully trimmed. And the orchid beauty next to him makes people can't take their eyes off it at a glance, and the blue and deep eyes seem to be able to suck people in.
She stood in the doorway, a little overwhelmed to see everyone staring at her like this.
"Yo, which beauty is this? At first glance, his bearing was extraordinary, and he made me prostrate on the ground. Currizza gags.
Yang Che scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, this is your sister-in-law." ”
She nodded to everyone and walked over to Yang Che and sat down, facing Kuriza and Chana.
The look of embarrassment on Curiza's face flashed, and she didn't know how much she had heard, so she immediately said familiarly: "Haha, hello sister-in-law, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Chana greeted her as well.
Yang Che introduced to Tan Yin: "This is Kuriza, the leader of the Lite Chamber of Commerce; This is Chana, the owner of this winery. ”
Tan Yin learned from the travels to the Western Regions that the Lite people traveled back and forth between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, they were very good at doing business, and they cultivated a sense of business since childhood, they were the blood and lubricant on this Silk Road, and they could only move and live with them on this Silk Road.
And the glamorous and exotic style of orchids has long been known to everyone, and Chana is even more beautiful to make people sigh, and God should have incorporated her own efforts when she created things!
Tan Yin smiled at Kuriza and said, "I saw in the book that it was very dangerous for the Rite merchants to cross the entire desert and travel between the East and the West, and I admired it very much. Without you, this land would be a barren land, and today I finally see the deity. ”
Then he turned to Chana and said: "The book says that the eyes of some women in the Western Regions are like the blue sea, I have never seen the blue sea, if the sea is the color of Chana girl's eyes, it must be a beautiful beauty like heaven." ”
Kuriza saw Tan Yin for the first time, saw the looks of everyone when they saw her, and thought of what Yang Wu said just now, and already knew who she was.
This lady is naturally not very beautiful, and she is not very old, but she has a kind of calmness.
It is rumored that Yang Che has no parents, and this family affair is determined by the teacher, but the woman is from a civilian background, and she is not beautiful, and everyone is very surprised by this unsuitable marriage.
A man as outstanding as an eagle in the sky like Yang Che will naturally be favored by all kinds of beauties, some are willing to commit themselves to being a concubine like Green Waist, and there are also Chana who doesn't care about the eternity and only cares about what he once had.
When she sat next to Yang Che, while everyone was talking, Yang Che picked a string of fine ones from the freshly grilled mutton skewers and put them on her plate.
Chana bit her lip when she saw this, and it took a moment to let go, and she picked up the silver pot and poured wine for everyone.
The wine pot is a silver kettle from the Western Regions, and it is carved with a picture of a warrior hunting lion, which is extremely exquisite. Chana's hands are as beautiful as white jade, her ten fingers are slender, coated with Kodan, her little finger is slightly cocked, and a touch of red between her fingers disturbs people's hearts trembling slightly.
Tan Yin wanted to see Yang Che's reaction, but in the end she held back.
The woman in the Western Regions was cheerful and straightforward, Chana smiled and giggled: "Madame is so praised, I really dare not take it seriously, I heard that Madame is from Jiangnan, and the girls there are all made of water, and I also yearn for it!" ”
Kuriza continued: "We Lite people have been yearning for Jiangnan for a long time, but the road is far away, and we have never been there. I've always wanted to go to the place where silk is produced, and I've heard that it's a paradise on earth, a fertile land, with water and bridges everywhere, just like a painting. ”
Yang Che said with a smile: "Now that you Lite merchants are active on this Silk Road again, there will be opportunities in the future." You can reach the sea from the west road, and the easternmost part of Jokhang is also the sea, and there are many countries in the southeast and southeast, and they are also rich in products, and the trade of this fortune will become bigger and bigger. ”
Kuriza hurriedly toasted Yang Che: "Hou Ye's efforts to restore the Silk Road can be traced back to the heroes of the past dynasties, the small countries in the Western Regions have suffered for a long time, there are many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the prosperity of the Central Plains is looking forward to making the Silk Road all unblocked." ”
Yang Che laughed and drank the wine in his glass.
