Yaowang Street, Musk City, Imara Province.

The building here is one of the nine high castes of the Western Xinjiang Dynasty, and the "people with the surname" of the Yi Luo clan, who are in charge of the medicine and poison art of the Western Xinjiang, have enjoyed the ancestral residence for generations.

There are actually many places where the people of the Imiro clan live in Muskton City and even in the entire western frontier.

But the mansion of the "person with the surname" in the clan is only this one on Yaowang Street.

"Zhangjia" is the honorific title of the head of the family in the high-class clans of Western Xinjiang, and the people with the surname of each of the nine high-ranking castes are all top nobles with the highest supreme rights in the Xuhan Dynasty. And the "people with the surname in charge", in Muskton City, also have a set of ancestral homes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

At this time, in the mansion of the person surnamed Yi Minluo, two maidservants from the "Black Sailuo" saw that there was no one around, and they were chatting in whispers.

Among them, the older maidservant was talking to another young woman about the recent gossip in the house:

"Have you heard? Yesterday, there was a goddess doctor from Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty in our house? ”

The young maidservant girl obviously heard the news for the first time, and she immediately put down the work in her hand curiously, and asked in a low voice:

"Really? From the Tianchen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty? We in Muskton City have not seen anyone from the Southern Dynasty for many years. ”

"Why haven't you seen it?"

The previous maid sneered, looked at the little maid and shook her head and smiled:

"You, what kind of memory is this? Two years ago, a prince of the Southern Dynasty also came to our western Xinjiang as an envoy?

I remember that at that time, His Majesty deliberately opened the largest gate in Dongcheng and welcomed the prince from Tianchen into the city in person, what a big face! ”

The little maid looked through her memory to find out the relevant information, she said "ah", and suddenly said:

"Ahh Is that what my sister said? I seem to have a little impression, but I happened to take ten years off to return to my hometown to mourn my uncle, but I never saw the appearance of the prince of the Southern Dynasty. ”

The little maidservant muttered, "Your Majesty actually opened the middle gate of the east gate in order to welcome him into the city?"

The last time the east gate of Muskton City was opened, it seemed to be more than 20 years ago, right? ”

The older maidservant girl showed a look of reminiscence, and said: "Yes, I heard the old people in the mansion say that the last time the gate of our city was opened, it was at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, in order to bid farewell to the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty who traveled thousands of miles to quell the rebellion of King Yong anyway. ”

She muttered: "I don't know what kind of person the prince of the Southern Dynasty who sent an envoy to our western frontier more than two years ago was, and he actually got the honor of opening the middle gate of the east city gate to welcome him. ”

The Western Xinjiang Dynasty has always been closed, and does not like to interact with outsiders more, so the east gate of the national capital Muskton City is rarely opened on weekdays for the safety of the city's defense.

Most of the time, there are only two side gates left at the east gate for people and merchants to enter and leave the city.

The kind of situation that completely opened the middle gate of the entire eastern gate of Muskton City was one of the few in the western frontier.

In addition to the coffin of each generation of Western Xinjiang Emperor after the death of the coffin out of the city for burial, only the extremely prominent foreign lord or important envoy to visit will make the royal family order to open the middle gate of the east gate of Kyoto Muskton City.

Seeing that the older maid stopped talking, the little maid hurriedly asked lively:

"Sister, why don't you speak? What do the people of the Southern Dynasties look like? Have you seen it? ”

She is still very young, and since she was a child, she has worked in the mansion of the head of Imiro, and rarely goes out, so naturally she has never seen the people of the Southern Dynasty who rarely haunt the western Xinjiang.

The maidservant girl who was a little older hesitated for a moment, shook her head lightly, and said:

"Actually, I haven't seen it, two years ago, the prince from the Southern Dynasty entered the city on His Majesty's carriage outside the East City Gate, and everyone watched on both sides of the street, but they couldn't see his true face of Lushan.

However, I have heard from the elders of the clan that the hair of the people of the Southern Dynasties is straight, and the eyes are all black, but other than that, they are very similar to those of us in the Western Xinjiang. ”

"Really?"

Another little maid said with a look of astonishment:

"Their hair isn't curly? And their eyes, aren't they brown either? Doesn't that look strange with black eyes? ”

The older maidservant said, "Who knows? However, there is not much difference between black and brown. If they braided their straight hair into braids, it would not look much different from us people in Western Xinjiang? ”

When the little maid heard this, a look of curiosity suddenly flashed in her eyes.

She was born with a natural "Black Sailor", and she never had the opportunity to leave Muskton City to see the outside world.

However, her life is "good", and her ancestors and grandchildren are all domestic slaves in the house of the head of the Yi Luo clan, so she does not need to engage in the hardest and most tiring work like other "black sailors" outside, and only needs to do some light errands in the house.

They can stay as domestic slaves in the nine high-caste clans, and that is the best way out for the "Black Sailor", and they are all envious of others.

The older maid saw the little maid's curious look, and hurriedly admonished her with a straight face.

"Hey, Ruoying, don't be unrealistic, and don't disturb the guests to rest.

The guest has been invited into the guest house by the person with the surname, we are just the maid who is responsible for the sprinkling and cleaning of the outer courtyard, if you are not summoned to approach the guest house and disturb the distinguished guest, be careful of being broken legs! ”

The little maid named "Ruoying", who was a little younger, was immediately shocked when she heard this!

She hurriedly put away the unrealistic thoughts in her head, waved her hand and said:

"Sister Cicada, I, I'm just talking casually! You won't be bold enough to peep at the guests! ”

The maid named Ruocia shook her head lightly and laughed at her:

"It's best if you know! But Ruoying, look at your timidity like a cicada, I think you should be called 'Ruo Cicada'. ”

The little maid named Ruoying smiled and stuck out her tongue.

"Sister Ruoying, don't laugh at me."

The two "Black Sailuo" maidservants watered the flowers in the garden in the outer courtyard one by one, and each took a small silk handkerchief to carefully wipe the petals and small mud spots on the branches and leaves because of the rain before the sunset.

It wasn't until he repeatedly confirmed that there was no omission, and then he left to work in the next yard.

At the same time, in the Yimin Luo Clan's guest house, Han Changsheng was still grabbing Xie Zhao and asking questions in a daze.

"-Isn't it? Why were you so sure yesterday that the person in charge of the Yi Luo clan had a disease in his right hand? ”

Han Changsheng looked stunned and puzzled.

"I was really touched by your blind cat and the dead mouse, and the person surnamed Yi Min Luo was fooled by you. And that 'hand-holding gift', what's going on?
