Chapter 108: Hu Shang
Chapter 108 Hu Shang
Thanksgiving plus one more. Bojun smiled.
This is a halal-style palace-like building, with a spire on the dome, supported by marble columns on all sides, the roof to the ground is one and a half times the height of a normal person's house, hand-woven tapestries are hung everywhere, the ground is covered with colorful wool blankets, the sides are full of fruits and wine, barbecue, and from time to time there are girls passing by with only a pair of beautiful eyes in the mask, as long as they wave their hands, they will kneel down to serve you.
This is paradise that belonged to the Persian merchant Abbas? Rooney's paradise. He started out as a spice and gemstone dealer, and was honest and down-to-earth, and gradually gained a certain reputation among the dignitaries and nobles of the Daning Dynasty, especially sought after by their wives and concubines.
"Master, that guy named Yan Shenyu is here again." Abbas's favorite maid, Ullah, took her hand and counted it, and then said with a coquettish face: "Counting this time, it has been three times, last time the master gave him jewelry, and last time he gave Sister Omar to him, this time I won't give Ulla away, right?" ”
Abbas's eyes are as small as beans and his jaw is pointed. With a few sparse mustaches, it is a waste to get rid of it, although the old man is not good-looking, but his heart is excellent, he patted Ula's hand, and said with a smile: "My loveliest Ula, how can I give it to him?" Just tell him that your master is not available. ”
Ulla's face was happy, he bent down and saluted, covered his veil and went out of the door, all the way to the gate, and said to Yan Shen who was waiting: "My master is very busy, you better come back another day." ”
After that, Ula turned around and left, ignoring Yan Shenyu's outstretched hand, which was holding a delicate silver box, which was the special rouge of Hongyanfang.
Yan Shenyu withdrew his hand casually, and took two steps out, the silver box slipped out of his sleeve, and he stepped on it, and ordered the little man beside him: "Tell Miss Duo to send the invitation to the two adults." ”
The little servant answered, and hurriedly passed the message, and Yan Shenyu didn't go far, so he found a restaurant nearby and drank by himself.
Abbas was lying on a woollen blanket and dreamed that the noble caliph invited him to drink, and the two of them mingled. It's not a pleasure to call a brother a brother.
Suddenly, the roof shook and many stones fell, and Abbas hurriedly fled in panic, and halfway through the escape, he heard the voice of the maid Ulla: "Master, wake up." ”
When he opened his eyes, Abbas's face was unhappy: "What's the matter?" Isn't that little of the Yan family gone? ”
Seeing that the old man was unhappy, Ula hurriedly crawled on the ground and said respectfully: "There are two roosters fighting in front of the door." ”
"Rooster?" Abbas was confused, and shouted impatiently: "Just blow away, such a trivial matter is still to trouble the master, it seems that I will really give you away next time." ”
Ula looked aggrieved and said dissatisfiedly: "It was Brother Tian who was guarding the door who asked me to tell you that the two big men from Ningguo came together, but they seemed to be very discordant and were fighting like roosters." ”
Abbas frowned and said, "Which two big shots are they?" ”
Ula hesitated for a long time, and suddenly turned around and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Ula doesn't remember, go ask again." ”
Abbas smiled helplessly, this Ula, a good person, but his head is not bright enough.
A moment of effort. Ulla ran back panting and shouted, "Master, it's the left and right ministers. ”
Abbas's eyes flickered, he poured back into the woolen blanket, picked up the wine glass at hand, took a sip, and ordered neatly: "Say that I am not available, sir, and tell them to come back another day." ”
Ulla's eyes widened, "But Brother Tian said that they are very big people, and if the master is gone, will there be trouble." ”
Abbas touched the mouse's beard and carefully pointed at the little maid: "We are in business, the guests are the biggest, will they buy my spices?" Will they buy my jewelry? ”
After speaking, he pursed his lips and added: "These two guys, one has only one wife, and the other is poor to death, ignore them." ”
Ula suddenly realized, nodded his little head fiercely, and looked at Abbas with adoring eyes: "The master is really wise, Ula will go and tell them not to come." ”
Abbas smiled and nodded, and watched the little maid run out, covered the quilt, and closed her eyes, hoping to see the caliph again.
Mo Zhong on the left and Xiao Dongliu on the right have always been at odds, but when they met at this time, there were no important people next to them, only a subordinate who was a gatekeeper, and he looked stupid and stupid. He tore his face directly.
Xiao Dongliu was the first to attack, he smiled on his face, but the words he spit out were like knives: "Master Mo has always been pretentious, why did he come to this copper-smelling place?" ”
Mo Zhong also said with a smile: "I heard that there are all kinds of Hu girls here, Brother Xiao is not afraid of the Taizao in the family, do you know?" ”
The two of them each hit each other's sore feet, snorted coldly in unison, turned their heads and stopped paying attention to each other, and after a while, they couldn't help but turn their heads and stare at each other for a while, and then they snorted coldly, turned their heads again, and so on.
When Ulla ran out, he saw that the two roosters were still glaring at each other, and shouted loudly: "My master said that I don't have time to deal with you, so tell you to leave quickly." ”
Xiao Dongliu and Mo Zhong glanced at each other, both of them felt very faceless, and thought that the other party was also swept away, it was really happy, and they were in a conflicted mood for a while, happy and melancholy.
The two of them were old and refined, and after weighing the gains and losses for a long time, they even arched their hands at the same time and said together: "Brother Tai (virtuous brother), don't pass by." The words just fell. They all know each other's minds and laugh together.
went out, but one to the left, one to the right, and said bad luck again and again.
Before he could go far, Wula's loud voice came from behind him: "Brother Tian, those two guys will say that the master is not there when they come back, and the master said that one of them has only one wife, and the other is poor to death, and they will not buy our spices and jewelry." ”
Mo Zhong and Xiao Dongliu stumbled at the same time. was so angry that he thought that the old enemy was behind him, but he didn't dare to turn back, stomped his feet fiercely, and hurriedly walked away.
Luckily, Abbas dreamed of the Caliph again, and this time the Caliph invited him to admire the jewels. Abbas started his career by selling jewelry, but the caliph's collection contained many treasures that he could not have imagined, such as emeralds the size of goose eggs and palaces made of gold, which made his mouth water.
The caliph graciously allowed him to choose one at will, Ab Basbai fell to the ground, and thanked Allah, and was about to choose, when the room shook violently again, and many stones fell, and Ab Basa stood dumbfounded, watching the caliph and the jewels disappear from his eyes little by little, and a familiar call came from his ears: "Master, wake up." ”
Abbas opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Who is it this time, it is the emperor of their Daning Dynasty who is here, and I am not there, sir!" ”
The little maid Ula opened her innocent eyes and said loudly: "It's Duan Gong, didn't the master say it, if Duan Gong comes, no matter what the master is doing, he must report it immediately?" ”
Abbas immediately smiled, and hurriedly shouted: "Why didn't you wake up the lord earlier, quick, serve the lord quickly, put on his robe, and ask for the most luxurious shoes to wear when you meet the guests?" What about my shoes? ”
After a period of confusion, Abbas, who was properly dressed but could not find his shoes, hurriedly pulled a pair of things and went out of the room.
Today, Duan You is wearing a white robe and a royal blue plain satin robe, and he is becoming more and more handsome, and Xu Qiyuan next to him is quite simple, only wearing a green shirt. followed Duan You's side, but he was never compared.
A hearty laugh came from afar: "Duan Gong, you are here, why don't you send someone to inform me in advance, I will send someone to order a table of wine for the day." ”
Xu Qiyuan silently pointed to Abbas's feet and said with a smile: "It seems that this Hu Shang really values his brother." ”
Duan You followed his fingers and saw a pair of pink embroidered shoes exposed at the hem of Abbas's jewel-covered robe, which was also embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly turned his head to hide his embarrassment.
Abbasi mistakenly thought that Duan You thought he was late, so he stepped forward in fear and said, "Little old man is sleepy for a while, don't blame the distinguished guests, don't blame them." ”
Duan You turned his head, resisted the urge to look down, and said with a smile: "Don't blame, don't blame, let's go in and talk." ”
Abbasa gave way, and led the way in front, Duan You saw him step by step, the pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water shook and swayed, his stomach twitched with laughter, and he lay on Xu Qiyuan's shoulder and said weakly: "Cousin support me for a while." ”
Entering the palace, Abbasi also seemed to find that something was wrong with the embroidered shoes, took off his shoes quietly, sat cross-legged on the woolen blanket, asked the maids to bring a plate of wine and delicacies, and asked very kindly: "After the fifteenth day, Duan Gong has not come to play with Xiao Lao'er for a long time. ”
Duan You suddenly thought of Xiaolan who he met when he went out here, and looked at Abbas, and couldn't help but look a lot more pleasant, and said slowly: "There have been a lot of things recently, no, there is something to ask Mr." ”
Abbas raised his eyebrows and said righteously: "It is Abbas's honor to serve the public. ”
Duan You and Xu Qiyuan glanced at each other, Xu Qiyuan nodded, Duan You opened the fan, fanned it, and said with a smile: "Please Mr. keep the money in Yan Ji Qian Zhuang, just say that it is Yan Shen Xing asked Mr. to do this." ”
Abbas replied without hesitation: "No problem, I will tell the steward to go and bring out all the silver and deposit it all in Yanji." ”
When Duan You and Xu Qiyuan said goodbye, Abbas's butler had already returned to tell the master and showed the deposit receipt.
Abbas kept them out of the door, and when they returned, the little maid Ulla asked inexplicably, "Didn't the master say that it is safest to keep the money by your side?" ”
Abbasa glanced at her with a gloomy face, and said angrily: "If it doesn't exist, the little prince pinched my trade route, isn't it that not a copper plate is gone?!" ”。
