Chapter 70: Exotic
Yun Yan and Nangong Han put on the shoes with thick soles, put on the long white robes, and walked towards the streets of Shacheng.
The streets of Shacheng are no different from ordinary streets in any arid area, Yunyan knows it, but it is very new to Nangong Han, a young master who has never been abroad since he was a child.
Although the expression on Nangong Han's face has not changed, the peach blossom eyes are shining, indicating that he is a curious baby now.
"Today is the day of worship," said the maid who had been brought out by them as a guide, with a smile, "and you will hear the bell that can only be heard in Daqi." ”
"Bells? Is it about religion? Yunyan wondered. There wasn't much information about the closed country of Daqi before, but one of them was very impressive. In my previous life, I was accustomed to seeing many countries that went on a killing spree because of their religion, and they were regarded as different because of their religious beliefs. However, as a religious country, the two religions represented by the Desert God Religion and the Religion of All Things are like a family and are very harmonious.
People in other places regard the desert as a forbidden area for life, but only the people of Daqi regard the desert as a treasure given to them by God, no matter what religion they are, they are worshipping their hometown, this vast desert.
This love of life really touched Yunyan very much. After listening to Yunyan's description, Nangong Hancai smiled and said, "The Great Qi Kingdom is really a very magical place." Yunyan thinks so.
The Great Qi Kingdom was a closed country before, and it was even more closed than Great Yan. Dayan's diplomacy with the surrounding countries is to make peace with relatives, pay tribute and trade, but the concept of Dayan valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce is deep-rooted, so commercial development is extremely difficult. The Great Qi State has never opened its own door to foreign exchanges, even if it is not a trade or trade, but their people are self-sufficient, moreover, the country does not inhibit the development of commerce, although their natural economy is very serious, but due to the small number of people and the environment, the Great Qi also expressed great satisfaction with this.
Walking with Nangong Han in this street with a strong exotic style, Yunyan thought about it in his heart, he was still very happy, and he felt that he had returned to the days of his previous life, although it was impossible to go back, but with seventeen, he had everything......
"Ah Yan, do you see that they are all wearing wigs?" Nangong Han pointed to a group of scantily clad girls with colorful wigs on their heads and looked at Yunyan.
"Oh, that," Yun Yan said, "that kind of wig is still quite popular in Daqi now, especially girls, young girls will like it." If you like, I'll go back and dye your hair with leaves. Then again, don't you feel shy? Yunyan asked Nangong Han with a mocking face, "Look at their clothes......"
Only then did Nangong Han notice that the clothes of those young girls were only wearing a white robe, and the scenery inside was looming, which made him, a young man who had never seen such a big scene, blushed directly, "They, why are they dressed like this!" As he spoke, he turned his head to the side.
The palace maid smiled and said, "This little boy still knows Daqi quite well. That's right, whether you wear a wig or just wear clothes like this, it is a unique feature of Daqi. This is a trend, I've heard that the women of your Dayan love to cover themselves tightly, so where is it, girls should bloom their beauty. ”
This makes sense, Yunyan, as a person who was a modern person in her previous life, said that she admired the aesthetics of these Daqi girls. Daqi has also been closed for so long, but their hearts have never lacked freedom because of this degree of closure.
At this time, Nangong Han picked up some small handicrafts on the side of the road and said, "These are very beautiful." The owner of the stall was a kind old grandmother, and when the old grandmother looked at Nangong Han's fair skin, she smiled and said, "You are from the Great Yan Kingdom, right?" I heard that it is very beautiful, there is water that we can never drink in our lifetime, and there is a beautiful scenery. Nangong Han said with a smile: "Yes, in the Great Yan Kingdom, there is nothing more beautiful than those flowers, peach blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn, plum blossoms in winter, and flowers all year round."
"Peach blossom? Lotus? What are those? Unconsciously, Yunyan and Nangong Han were surrounded by curious people. Nangong Han did not have stage fright because of this, but began to tell the romantic stories of the Great Yan Kingdom, and talked about some basic national conditions, which made those people who had never been out of the Great Qi Kingdom amazed again and again.
"Have you heard? That lotus flower actually grows in water! ”
"Even the snow blooms, I really envy the people of the Great Yan Kingdom......"
Looking at those people who were amazed, Nangong Han smiled, in this way, it is probably almost his ideal Datong society, right? Then, the worship ceremony of the Desert God Sect arrived, and the worship ceremony of the Desert God Sect was not only for religious believers, so almost all of them bowed in the direction of the bell, and Yunyan hurriedly pulled him to kneel down.
In the end, Nangong Han used a lotus painting and the story in his mind in exchange for a pile of gifts from the people of Daqi Kingdom, Yunyan looked at the pile of gifts, there were cactus, turbans, wigs, and many different styles of handicrafts, and said to Nangong Han with a smile: "Seventeen, why didn't I see that you were so filial to the old man?" In fact, at that time, she was ready to run away with him, but she didn't expect him to be so patient to tell the grandmother and the people around her about the affairs of Dayan Kingdom.
“…… In fact, this is just to keep myself from coming in vain. Nangong Han said seriously, "I was wondering why they could believe in a person so defenselessly, because they had never seen the world?" Later, when I let go and told them about it, I realized that this was probably the ideal society we were pursuing, and that it was what I wanted my people to become. ”
Yunyan stopped talking, she didn't know why Nangong Han was so sensational today, maybe he himself hadn't seen anything in the world and was scared silly, she told herself.
"I think that's good." Nangong Han still added a little more.
"I think so." Yun Yan said, unfolded the long turban and put it on his head. "Is it pretty?"
Nangong Han nodded, almost laughing: "Good-looking, good-looking!"
When the palace maid reminded them that it was time to go back, the two noticed that the sun was gradually setting in the west, and then they felt hungry.
Back in the Great Qi Palace, at this time, everyone almost came, only Dugu Yong and King Zhennan did not come. Nangong Han and Yunyan waited where they should be, no matter how hungry they were, they couldn't do anything to the big wine and meat on the table, otherwise it would be rude, thinking that they had to wait, Yunyan and Nangong Han wanted to cry without tears.
