Chapter 119: The Comeback (2)
"Brother, are you sure you're willing to disguise yourself as a woman in the caravan and infiltrate the Mexican capital? Nalan Qianqian asked with a coquettish smile.
"Okay, isn't it just to put on makeup as a woman, just don't turn me into an old woman, this matter is decided. Nalan Qidi said impatiently.
Now he can't wait to go back to Mexico and see Xu Yu'er again, even if he can't succeed in bringing her back, he still wants to talk to her.
"Okay, with your words, we will finalize it, tomorrow morning you can set foot on the road to Mexico, don't drink tonight, drink and make mistakes." Nalan Qianqian reminded her brother, and then left her brother's dormitory with a smile.
The moon is still bright in his hometown, but Nalan Qidi feels that dreams are still sweet in a foreign land.
The next day, before dawn, a caravan of camels set out from the capital of Loulan and marched to the Central Plains via Lop Nur, this time transporting fruits, wool, beef, and other local products that were special products of Loulan.
I saw that on the ancient desert, a long royal camel caravan was slowly moving forward, the crisp camel bell ringing in the ears, the sunrise in Lop Nur, and the lonely smoke outside the plug...... People have to sigh the beauty of Loulan.
The two sisters in the camel caravan are a beautiful scenery, both sisters are in their twenties, wearing a long skirt unique to Loulan women, half-covering their faces, each holding a pipa, playing a gripping tune along the way.
The sisters laughed a few words from time to time, and the whole camel caravan was filled with rare laughter, because of their presence, the merchants seemed to forget the fatigue of the journey, and each of them had a smile on their bronzed faces.
The capital of Mexico
Xu Nuo'er and Mo Xingchen reunited after the catastrophe, and they were even more intimate, Mo Xingchen once again took leave and did not go to the early dynasty, in order to accompany his princess to talk at home and visit the back garden.
The emperor even gave Mo Xingchen three days off in a row, so that he could accompany his daughter-in-law well, but don't slack off on his promise.
The Queen Mother also changed her normal behavior, not only did she not mention the matter of Mo Xingchen's concubine again this time, but also sent someone to Xu Nuo'er to bring cloth and tea from the palace to the palace, which can be regarded as a sign of friendship.
Xu Nuo'er just smiled faintly, and didn't take the past too seriously, anyway, the past is over, life has to look forward, and you can't always get along with yourself.
"Nuo'er, today is the day of the people of the capital, the streets are lively, if you are idle and bored, you can let Rufeng and them accompany you to take a look, this king still has some important things to deal with, and I will go to you when I finish dealing with it." After breakfast, Mo Xingchen offered a treasure to Xu Nuo'er.
"Oh, really, it must be very lively, maybe you can find a treasure, I want to go out and have a look, but you are so busy or don't go, I'll let Rufeng follow me, anyway, I won't go far, besides, there is still greenery, you can rest assured, we will go out to have a look in a while, we will come back soon." When Xu Yu'er heard this, she was immediately happy and wanted to run out immediately to take a look.
She had long heard that there was a big gathering in the capital every month, that is, on the first day of the first month of the month, and on this day, traders from all over the country came from far and wide to sell at a good price, because on this day, the merchants outside the customs would come to join in the fun, and maybe they could encounter rare business opportunities with a good tone.
Therefore, in order to be auspicious, the big guys are willing to set off before dawn and occupy a favorable position when they arrive. Some imperial businessmen also come to have fun on this day, because it is the capital market, dignitaries and relatives of the emperor will inevitably come out to make fun, and they also take this opportunity to make a small profit.
"Luwu, will you go out with me for a while?" At this time, Xu Nuo'er turned her eyes to Lu Wu, who was manicure, and the two felt more and more compatible, because Xu Nuo'er saw her as a woman thoroughly, and the two became best friends.
"What is there to see, I said that your woman's house is troublesome, it's a good thing, if you don't have a special person to accompany you, it's really not good, you look at it and only stop for a few days, and you are not honest and always want to run out. Luwu counted with disgust.
Xu Yu'er almost burst out laughing, pointed at Lu Wujiao and scolded: "Don't keep talking about how we women are like this, look at yourself, ask at least nine and a half out of ten people to say that you are also a woman, and the remaining half may know you too well, so I hesitate to see if it is a woman or not." ”
"Talking about tongue twisters this morning, isn't it just going out for a stroll, what so much nonsense, my task is really arduous, I have to go shopping with food and drink. Reluctantly, she stood up and prepared to go out for a walk with the promise.
The wind and the phantom are even more shadowy, there have been too many things happening during this time, so that the people in the palace have some cups and snakes, and there is no need for Mo Xingchen to explain, everyone has increased their vigilance, especially for people of different races.
A few people stepped out of the palace to see the lively bazaar that was rare in the past, and the original capital city had unique carved beams and painted buildings, and the gold was brilliant, which was a unique landscape.
But today's busy traffic and crowds of people have become an alternative scenery that you have to see in front of you.
Men, women, young and old, were all in a hurry to come out to see the excitement, including rich ladies and sons dressed in silk and satin, and ordinary people wearing cloth shirts, but they all had rare smiles on their faces. It can really be described as a peaceful and prosperous world, and it is happy.
Raise your eyes to see the smoke willow painting bridge, the wind curtain and green curtain, it is even more picturesque, making people dizzy. Qinglou painting pavilion, embroidered household bead curtains, today even the girls in the Qinglou are up extraordinarily early, they or groups of three or five on the street with the passing merchants laughing, or leaning in front of the door to count the oily hair, and there are also in the eagerly waiting for the benefactor of the appointment.
The carved cars compete in the heavenly street, the BMW races on the royal road, the golden green shines brightly, and Luo Qi is fragrant. Xinsheng laughed skillfully on Liu Mohua Street, the tea shop was even full, and the girls who sang small songs were also working extra hard today.
A dazzling array of goods hung on both sides of the street, small merchants and vendors shouted hard, a lively scene, eight wildernesses contending, all countries Xiantong, the collection of treasures from all over the world, all belong to today's market.
Xu Nuo'er was attracted by the lively scene in front of him, or the scenery of Da Mo Country is the most beautiful, he grew up here, and everything here is irreplaceable by other places.
"Look at how beautiful this is, the workmanship is so exquisite!" Xu Nuo'er picked up a little rabbit woven with bamboo strips, and she couldn't put it down.
The lifelike red eyes and the hair that were drawn with each stroke were simply dazzlingly beautiful.
"Uncle, how much silver does this little rabbit have?" asked Xu Yu'er.
"Hehe, how can it be so expensive, girl, almost all of my things here are fifteen copper plates. The uncle who sells bamboo products replied with a smile.
When Xu Yue'er heard that it was indeed very affordable, the style was beautiful, and she couldn't help but pick a little monkey again, and took out some broken silver and stuffed it to the old man, so that he didn't have to look for it.
The old man thanked him and promised to continue shopping with two gadgets happily.
"No'er, look, what's over there?" asked Luwu, pointing to the crowded area in front of her, curiously.
"Go over and see, there are so many people, there must be some rare thing. Xu Yu'er's curiosity was even greater, and she hurried forward.
Pushing aside one wall after another, Xu Promise and Luwu squeezed in with difficulty. Originally, this was also a stall, but the goods here were all special goods from outside the Saiwai. Even the copper mirror, rouge box, and comb are all plugged in the style, which is very national.
There are also various wood carvings on the stalls, and some of them are directly carved into flying eagles, monkeys, and cheetahs from the entire tree roots, which are lifelike and vivid, so they attract a lot of pedestrians to come and bargain.
Xu Yu'er looked at the various wood carvings with great interest, especially the special tea pet. That's Bangs playing Jin Toad, the most interesting thing is that there is a small hole in the navel at the small belly pocket of Bangs, and there is a water column spurting out there, and the Jin Toad is spitting water in his mouth, The two streams of water converge together to form a stream, like a naughty boy in a small relief, which makes people laugh.
"Merchant, how much is this tea pet?" Xu Yu'er liked it more and more, and couldn't help asking.
"We don't sell this, we're just making an ornament here for everyone to amuse, I'm really sorry girl. One of the women, dressed in national costumes, explained with a smile.
The woman's smile was very warm, and her words were even softer, so that people couldn't start a tantrum if they wanted to.
"Why don't you sell this, isn't this fooling people, really, how can today's businessmen be like this, it's just too unauthentic. Some people can't help but complain.
"yes, isn't that a lie. Someone in the crowd immediately chimed in.
"Don't be angry, this set of tea pets, our young lady just carved out, I don't know if I can use it, I have to observe for a while before I dare to sell it to others, otherwise it's not good because of this smashing the signboard." One of the tricks nodded and explained.
Everyone shut up when they heard this, which is understandable. If so, they would be understandable.
"Forget it, I'll take a look at something else. Xu Nuo'er lost interest and turned to leave.
"This girl, if you like it, take it, it's an ornament anyway, let's go back and do it again, but don't blame us if it breaks in the middle. The woman smiled and stopped Xu Yu'er.
"That's really not daring to accept it, you better estimate the silver taels, and I'll buy it here." "How can Pingshui meet to accept gifts from others for no reason, Xu Nuo'er insisted on giving people two silver before he was willing to accept this set of tea pets.
The woman was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and she thought about it and said with a smile: "Since the girl insists on paying the silver, then give ten taels of silver, this tea pet has condensed my energy for a year, and I hope to make the girl happy." ”
"Okay, then it's a deal, I want this tea pet, give it, you can take this silver." Xu Nuo'er did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly took out ten taels of silver and handed it over, for fear that people would regret not selling it to her for a while.
The woman took the silver, smiled and put the tea pet into a beautiful brocade box, tied it with a red ribbon and tied it with a beautiful bow, and then respectfully handed it to Xu Yu'er. The attitude of the service is very good, so that the onlookers next to them also feel that they must not be wrong to buy this product, and the sincere attitude of people doing business can see the character.
In this way, the people who did not do it also paid money to buy some small objects they liked, and for a time it became the most prosperous place in the market, which simply made the peers look at themselves secretly.
Lu Wu also picked a few small things that he liked, and the two of them didn't come in vain this time, they all hugged what they liked and happily returned to the palace.
As soon as Mo Xingchen looked at the trophies of the two, he knew that the two of them were shopping very well today, and they couldn't close their mouths.
