As soon as Lu Wanzhi returned home from Huguo Temple, she saw Zhao Heng waiting at the door.

After everyone in the Lu family got out of the carriage, Zhao Henglian stepped forward and smiled at Mei Qingyan: "Mother! I brought you chestnut cakes from the lakeside teahouse, and I heard Wanzhi say that you like to eat chestnut cakes. ”

Mei Qingyan took the chestnut cake from Zhao Heng's hand and said, "The little county king has a heart." ”

Zhao Heng smiled and said: "Honoring my mother is what I should do, mother, I took Zhizhi to play on the street." ”

Before Mei Qingyan could say anything, Zhao Heng had already taken Lu Wanzhi's hand and left.

Lu Wanzhi was taken by Zhao Heng to the street outside Lu's house and said: "You and I are together all day and night in the academy, this is not easy to take a break, can't you let me spend more time with my mother and sister?" ”

Zhao Heng said: "Where are you together all day and night?" For the past few days and nights, you haven't even let me in. ”

Lu Wanzhi glared at Zhao Heng: "You have been thinking inappropriately all day long, so naturally you can't let you in." ”

Zhao Heng said aggrievedly: "I just want to be your good apprentice and help you wash your feet, who is not serious?" ”

Lu Wanzhi didn't want to talk to him about this matter, so she asked, "You went to the teahouse early in the morning to buy chestnut cakes?" ”

Zhao Heng said: "Today I made an appointment with Shen Luozhi to let his sister and Pei Qin see each other, so I went to the teahouse early in the morning, who knew that Pei Qin only cared about talking about calligraphy with Shen Xi, no wonder he is still unmarried."

Today, there are Siamese merchants on the East Street, and I will take you to see it, and I heard that there are many new things. ”

Lu Wanzhi followed Zhao Heng to East Street, which was common in Chang'an City for merchants from various countries in the Western Regions, but this was the first time that merchants from Siam had seen it.

Zhao Heng took Lu Wanzhi's hand to East Street, and happened to meet Zhang Yuan and Sun Ting, and Lu Wanzhi let go of Zhao Heng's hand again and again.

Zhao Heng was puzzled, so he saw Lu Wanzhi looking towards Zhang Yuan and Sun Ting, "There is Zhang Yuan and Sun Ting." ”

Zhao Heng also had to let go obediently, and the two walked around the East Street and saw a lot of strange things.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of elephants, and I saw six elephants coming.

Sitting atop the elephant at the head is a woman dressed in a semi-off-the-shoulder Siamese garment, with an extraordinary appearance.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan was stunned, and Sun Ting on the side called him for a long time before he came back to his senses.

The Siamese merchants on both sides saw the woman coming, and they prostrated on the ground one after another to perform a great prayer.

Lu Wanzhi guessed that this girl's status should not be low.

Zhao Heng whispered in Lu Wanzhi's ear: "Zhizhi, I think if you wear her clothes, you will be more beautiful than her, I see that there are Siamese women's clothes in front of me, let's go buy one." ”

Lu Wanzhi said with a smile: "The lake in the mountain behind this academy is frozen, and you still let me wear clothes with my shoulders exposed?" ”

Zhao Heng said softly: "I bought it now, and when you get married, you can wear it to me in the room." ”

Lu Wanzhi said: "You think beautifully, the girl above the elephant is a Siamese princess?" ”

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "It should be, I went to visit the imperial grandmother in the palace yesterday because I heard from them that Princess Siam and her envoys came to Chang'an recently. ”

Lu Wanzhi said: "There is still a Nanzhao country between this Siam and my Dasheng Dynasty, and this Siamese country doesn't know what happened when I came back this time?" ”

Zhao Heng said: "I haven't asked about this, but I heard that it seems that because Nanzhao and Siam are not peaceful, Nanzhao respects me Dasheng, Xu is Siam afraid that Nanzhao will have Dasheng to help, so I Dasheng and my Dasheng are married." ”

Lu Wanzhi heard a burst of raccoon slave calls, followed the cry, and saw a raccoon slave cub in a cage, this raccoon slave's coat color and appearance are very different from Dasheng raccoon slave, and the kitten cub is very interesting.

Lu Wanzhi asked the Siamese merchant in front of him, "How many silver taels does this raccoon slave have?" ”

The Siamese merchant obviously didn't understand what Lu Wanzhi said about Dasheng, but he also understood what Lu Wanzhi meant, he compared it with his fingers, and said in a broken official dialect: "Gold, gold." ”

Zhao Heng heard this: "Three taels of gold? Buying a cat? It's also too expensive. ”

Lu Wanzhi looked at the raccoon slave cub in the cage, stretched out her hand and touched the tip of the nose of the raccoon slave cub, and said to Zhao Heng: "I have a relationship with this raccoon slave, and now there are only you and I left in Lu Yuan, and it is a little deserted, so it's good to add a raccoon slave." ”

Although Zhao Heng felt that spending three taels of gold to buy a cat was simply a big injustice, it could be seen that Lu Wanzhi liked it, and he generously ordered Chang Sheng to go back to the palace and get the gold.

The Siamese merchant took the gold handed over by Zhao Heng, weighed it in his hand, and then took out a large blue-yellow thorn ball larger than a human head from the wooden box on the side.

Zhao Heng saw the thorn ball, protected Lu Wanzhi, looked at the vendor in front of him vigilantly, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Lu Wanzhi opened the cage, held the cat in her arms, and smoothed the cat's hair, but she didn't expect the cat to be obedient, and meowed at Lu Wanzhi, and Lu Wanzhi's heart was about to melt.

The Siamese merchant placed the thorn ball on the table and opened it, revealing the yellow flesh inside, which smelled bad.

The Siamese merchant pointed to the yellow flesh and motioned for Zhao Heng to eat it.

Zhao Heng almost wanted to vomit when he smelled the smell of the stabbing ball in front of him, covered his nose and said, "What is this?" You have a cat that pits the king of the county for three taels of gold, and let the king of the county eat these lumps of ......"

Lu Wanzhi said, "Zhao Heng, don't be so rude, people come from Siamese merchants all the way, you are the host, you should know that there are friends from afar, don't say it." ”

Zhao Heng endured the smell, picked up a piece of yellow pulp on the side, handed it to Lu Wanzhi and said, "Since Mr. Lu, you think you have a friend from afar, then you can taste it." ”

Lu Wanzhi smelled a foul smell coming from her nasal cavity, and under the enthusiastic eyes of the Siamese vendors on the side, Lu Wanzhi took a bite lightly, and the smell between her lips was permeated.

Zhao Heng didn't expect Lu Wanzhi to really eat it, and said, "You really eat it?" Spit it out. ”

Lu Wanzhi said: "Siamese friends came from afar, although everyone couldn't understand each other, but he was extremely enthusiastic, and he should have tasted it." ”

"Well said."

Lu Wanzhi heard a hearty female voice coming.

Seeing that the vendor in front of him was already prostrate on the ground, Lu Wanzhi turned around and saw the Siamese princess who was on top of the elephant.

I didn't expect this Siamese princess to be able to speak fluent Dasheng official language.

The princess of Siam said: "Your Dasheng woman is really knowledgeable, this is our unique fruit in Siam, in Siamese it is the earth lotus, although the fruit smells stinky, but it is extremely delicious, but it is a pity that this Siam is too far away from Dasheng, this fruit is not good to send to Dasheng, this earth lotus is too ripe, if you eat it in Siam, it will be more delicious." ”

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said, "Then if there is a chance, I will definitely go to Siam with the envoy to try it." ”

Princess Siam looked at Zhao Heng beside Lu Wanzhi and said, "I just heard you call yourself the king of this county, I don't know if you are the king of the Chu family?" ”

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Princess Siam raised her eyes to look at Zhao Heng's appearance, and smiled lightly: "Two years ago, the King of Chu saved my father at the hands of the Nanyang pirates, and my father told the King of Chu that in order to repay the King of Chu, he would marry the most beautiful daughter to the son of the King of Chu.

I came to Chang'an this time to keep my promise and marry the prince of the county. ”

Zhao Heng's eyes widened, and he said, "No, I'm already married." ”

Princess Siam smiled lightly and said: "You Dasheng men can have three wives and four concubines, and I am willing to be the concubine of the prince of the county." ”
