Chapter 104 Waiyi Nobles

Su Ying was extremely glad that his father was a scholar.

If she knows anything that makes others suspicious, she just needs to say, 'From the book,' and they will have nothing to say.

In fact, she was a little itchy just now, and she really wanted to talk to Li Bu in English.

It's not that she wants to show off herself, but because Li Bu's Chinese is good and bad, and many times the words don't make sense.

In fact, in the current dynasty, foreign language teaching is far less convenient and popular than in later generations, Li Bu can say the Great Zhou dialect like this, it must have taken a lot of effort, just say that the teacher is invited, and the search and cost is definitely not affordable by ordinary people.

Li Bu, at least a rich kid.

After thinking about it, she still spoke Chinese.

If you can speak a foreign language, you can't explain it by reading books.

I don't know if Zuo Chengyi believes it or not, anyway, after Su Ying finished speaking, he was not too embarrassed to look at him, so he just lowered his head and poured tea cup by cup.

Li Bu ran fast and came back short-breathed.

In order to make it easier to drink, the coffee beans have been ground into powder by him in advance, and not only that, but he also brought a can of milk himself.

After asking the shopkeeper of the teahouse for some sugar, he officially brewed the coffee.

This coffee tastes too bad from the taste of later generations.

The difference is in that grinder.

The main reason is that this era is far behind her era, whether it is the Great Zhou or other parts of the world, the development of civilization and science and technology is equally backward.

However, for her, who has not smelled coffee for more than a year, this is not too delicate coffee, and she can still accept it.

The two exchanged the tea for coffee, Zuo Chengyi watched from the side for a long time, and saw that Su Ying was enjoying it very much, so he finally mustered up the courage and asked Li Bu to help him make a cup.

After a small bite, I still couldn't help it, so I went to find a place to vomit again.

"Wild boars can't eat chaff." Li Bu didn't know where he just learned it, so he used it on Zuo Chengyi.

Zuo Chengyi came back after vomiting, and just walked to the door, when he heard this, his face darkened on the spot.

Before he entered the house, he listened to Su Ying and defended him.

"Li Bu, what you said is not right, what does it mean that wild boars can't eat fine chaff? Don't forget, coffee is also drunk by low-level people in your place, don't think that we don't have a high-end thing in Dazhou. ”

"You know?" Li Buke was taken aback.

Su Ying nodded.

"Of course, you know that you are poor people who drink coffee in order to have the strength to do manual work. Your real rich aristocrats, don't you drink the tea of our Great Zhou? ”

Li Bu gave a thumbs up.

"Great, you're right, tea is very precious to us, and ordinary people can't afford to drink it. Our silver is brought over in a hurry, and your tea leaves are brought in a small amount. It's not fair, it's not fair. ”

Although Su Ying is not a history major, her knowledge of history in junior high and high school is enough for her to know that the initiation of many world wars stems from the imbalance of economy and trade.

However, this imbalance should not be the reason for foreign countries to launch wars of aggression.

Thinking about the country being bullied like that later, the anger jumped up.

If she hadn't restrained herself in time, she would have almost put all the historical responsibility for being humiliated in later generations on Li Bu's head.

"Business dealings, you and I are willing, there is nothing fair or unfair. Also, the sentence 'wild boar can't eat fine chaff' is not a good word, if you are a friend of Zuo Gongzi, don't talk about him like this. ”

Seeing Su Ying angry, Li Bu knew that it was not a good word.

"I'm sorry, I heard what people said about me, I don't know if that's a good thing. Zuo Chengyi and I are very good friends, and I won't say that about him in the future. ”

It turned out that he was taken crookedly.

Su Ying quickly softened his face, raised his coffee, and smiled at Li Bu.

"We're friends too, and for the sake of friendship, cheers."

"Cheers, friend." Li Bu took a small sip. He felt that coffee should be tasted, and it should not be dried up like drinking.

Zuo Chengyi collected all his emotions and pushed the door in, "I'm sorry, it's rude." ”

Su Ying gave Li Bu half a catty of good tea, wrapped in paper, and a bulging bag.

The coffee beans brought by Li Bu were rejected by the Great Zhou court, and they had been to Dawei before, and they were also rejected, and this time they wanted to go to Dawei, and it was inconvenient to take them, so they were directly given to Su Ying, about thirty or forty catties.

It's enough for Su Ying to drink for a while.

Zuo Chengyi's caravan and Li Bu's envoy caravan were going to stay in Yunling County for three days, and then go to Dawei together after repairing.

Li Bu fell in love with Su Ying and introduced her to his caravan members.

Those people are all rich or noble, but they are not as easy to get along with as Li Bu, and they don't speak much Chinese, so they rely on Li Bu to translate in the middle.

Those people didn't know that Su Ying understood their words, in fact, there were many words that were not polite, and Li Bu was afraid that the direct translation would make Su Ying sad, so he changed the translation of most of the bad words.

Su Ying listened to their 'secret' quietly, smiling all the time, but in her heart, she scolded this group of robber-like people thoroughly.

On the third day, Su Ying went to Zuo Chengyi again, and asked him to help him see the women's ornaments and costumes in Dawei when he went to Dawei, and if possible, it was best to help bring some distinctive samples back. Zuo Chengyi should take a bite.

Out of the inn, Su Ying turned around and went to Li Bu again.

Last time, I only took his coffee beans, and this time I went to ask for his simple grinder.

You can't grind it by yourself, can you?

The people from the caravan envoy couldn't speak Da Zhou, but could only say something to tell her to wait, so she sat down and waited.

Since she didn't understand their words, these people didn't avoid her when they spoke.

Among them were two guard-like outsiders, communicating at a normal volume.

Su Ying didn't care what they said at first, but after listening to it for a while, she realized that something was wrong.

The two actually talked about the plan to assassinate Zuo Chengyi, and they had a dispute over it.

One said that after entering the Great Wei Dynasty, he disguised himself as a Great Wei person to kill Zuo Chengyi and provoke the contradictions between the two countries.

A person who said that he wanted to pretend to be Da Zhou would be killed tonight, which would make the unpopular emperor of Da Zhou even more unpopular, and make Da Zhou civil strife.

Su Ying was shocked, but she still had to pretend that she didn't understand anything, and continued to buckle her nails boringly and wait.

The two would occasionally stop to look at Su Ying, and soon continued to argue with disdain.

Su Ying listened for a while, and finally understood.

It turned out that this group of Waiyi people were indeed local royalty and nobles, and they were very dissatisfied with the trade advantages of the Great Zhou over them, and always wanted to make the Great Zhou even more chaotic.

They have even seen the great possibility of civil strife in the Great Zhou, and have secretly arranged for people to buy grain on a large scale in the Great Zhou, so as to sit on the ground and raise the price after the outbreak of the war.

Su Ying has been waiting here, not for anything else, but to know if Li Bu knows about it.

If Li Bu is also with them, then she also has to inform Zuo Chengyi to be more vigilant.
