Then, I only heard the Mongolian man say innocently: "Your Majesty, the minister came this time and specially brought a lot of special products from our tribe. There are Bahrain stones, gilded wooden bowls, wool carpets, and our Mongolian delicacies. ”

As soon as the voice fell, a Mongolian woman poured mare's milk wine on the tray.

And in that tray, there is also milk tofu and air-dried beef.

When they are offered, the eunuchs in the palace will have the procedures for testing the poison.

And when the minions were testing for poison, someone spread out a large rectangular carpet.

The carpet was spread out and almost completely covered the center of the temple.

The carpet is made of white with blue, camel, red dragon and phoenix and moire patterns.

The Mongolian man proudly introduced: "This is a carpet woven by our tribe using local high-quality sheep wool as raw materials. This time, the ministers came to the capital and transported six cars, which were specially dedicated to the emperor as a royal carpet for the palace. ”

The fourth master's gaze fell on the finely made carpet.

He bowed his head slightly, and gave a faint "um" with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

The fourth master is a stuffy gourd, at this time, Ruoyin pulled his lips and said with a light smile: "I have long heard that the people of your tribe are ingenious, and the carpets made are fine, soft, elastic and durable, and they are all sold abroad." Seeing this colorful pattern today, the luster is natural, especially the golden dragon pattern, which looks luxurious and exquisite. ”

"It's good that the mother and the emperor are satisfied." The Mongolian man had a happy look on his face, and then scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "By the way, the minister came this time, and there are two sets of gilded wooden bowls to present to the emperor and the queen." ”

He pointed to the two sets of gilded wooden bowls held by the accompanying slaves beside him, and said: "This bowl is made of blanks made of paulownia trees, boiled and then shaped with a layer of gilt gold, engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns. Moreover, it does not crack when it is boiled, does not break on the ground, does not burn or ice hands, can be passed down from generation to generation, and can completely maintain the original taste of food. ”

Hearing this, Ruoyin and the fourth master looked at the gilded utensils one after another.

The fourth master has long heard of Mongolian wooden bowls.

But Ruoyin is the first time I've heard of a bowl made of this material.

If you want to say that the rice bowl made of porcelain, it is good-looking, but it is hot and easy to break.

And the royal family has always paid attention to rules and superstitions.

Especially on important days, if you break the bowl, it is really unlucky.

Even the gold and silver rice bowls commonly used by the fourth master, although they are expensive, they also have the problem of hot hands.

But this gilded wooden bowl, it is not only fall-proof and not hot, but the appearance is as luxurious as gold.

Listening to what the Mongolian man said about being passed down from generation to generation, is it more than a lifetime?

Just when Ruoyin was curious, the Mongolian man said: "There is a saying in our tribe that each of us only chooses one set of gilded wooden bowls for a lifetime, and each wooden bowl is selected by the owner, and a lifelong contract is signed, and the master must accompany the master through this life." Therefore, the minister ordered the craftsman to create two sets of unique dragon and phoenix auspicious gilt wooden bowls, here, the minister wishes the emperor and the queen mother Zhi Lanmao a thousand years, Qin Sele a hundred years. ”

As soon as the voice fell, I only heard the fourth master say heartily: "Okay, very good!" ”

Ruoyin thought that the fourth master would be the same as before, faint.

After all, the Mongolian carpet is a cultural product of the tribe, which can drive the local economic development and even export trade.

And this gilded wooden bowl is the custom of their tribe, and it is generally not sold out.

Who knew the fourth master's reaction, but it was beyond her imagination.

Ruoyin turned her head slightly and glanced at the fourth master.

As a result, the fourth master also happened to look at her.

When the two looked at each other, the fourth master was very frank in his eyes, but he also had emotions.

For such a hot gaze, Ruoyin smiled lightly, revealing a trace of shyness.

Then, she withdrew her gaze.

Anyway, there are so many people down there, and it's not good for her to flirt here.

Just pondering in my heart, it seems that the fourth master is very satisfied with this set of couple utensils.

At this time, William's thick eyebrows frowned slightly.

Although he understands most of Chinese, he is fluent in Chinese.

But the kind of "Zhilan Mao for a thousand years, Qin Sele for a hundred years" is still a little difficult for a European like him.

After thinking about it, he still didn't understand the meaning.

Who made the Qing Dynasty writing broad and profound?

But he is not blind, he looks satisfied from the fourth master.

And Ruoyin's face is shy, so you know the general meaning.

So, he turned to a Qing Dynasty official sitting at a nearby table.

"What is Zhilan Mao for a thousand years, Qin Sele for a hundred years. In other words, what does it mean that Zhilan Mao has been a thousand years and Qin Sele has been a hundred years? ”

The officer on the side glanced at William.

Seeing that he was a foreigner, he politely replied with the traditional virtues of friendship in the Qing Dynasty: "Zhi" is "Zhi", and "Zhilan" is Zhilan and Orchid, both of which are herbs. It is often used as a metaphor for the nobility of virtue or friendship, affection, the beauty of the environment, etc. The piano and the ser are made of sycamore wood, with a cavity and a silk string. The two instruments play together in harmony and are used as a metaphor for harmonious feelings. ”

At this point, the official looked at William and thought he should have understood.

However, William still asked the black man with a good face, "So, do plants and musical instruments have anything to do with your emperor and queen?" ”

"Naturally, it has a relationship." Seeing that he still didn't understand, the official had to explain seriously: "Zhilan has been lush for a thousand years, and Qin Sele has been a hundred years old, and in general, it means that the grass and trees have been lush and growing for a thousand years, and the sound of Qin and Ce bells and drums has been more than a hundred years." It means that the descendants of the emperor and the queen will continue to endure, and outstanding talents will come out in large numbers. Husband and wife love and live in harmony, and grow old together. ”

At this moment, William finally understood, turned around unhappily, and no longer paid attention to the officials who explained to him.

The official looked confused.

The heart said that he was kind enough to explain it to him, and he actually showed him a face.

I knew that he didn't know how to be polite, so I wouldn't tell him!

At this moment, the Mongolian man in the center of the hall said a few more auspicious words.

The fourth master still exchanged gifts, and also rewarded the Mongolian man with some things.

When the Mongolian man returned to the table and sat down, a man wrapped in a colorful turban walked to the center of the temple.

His turban was embroidered with intricate patterns of gold thread.

Not only that, but the clothes on his body were also embroidered with various gold patterns.

And the lower half of his body was wrapped in a long brown striped brocade...... Dress up like a skirt.

After saluting Ruoyin and the fourth master, he said, "Your Majesty, this time the minister did not come alone, but brought our eldest princess of Yunan Kingdom with him. Moreover, the eldest princess also arranged a folk dance of our Yunan Kingdom and wanted to dedicate it to the emperor. ”

The one who said this was the king of Yunan.
