Chapter 164 Visitors from outside the territory
"How long will this stay? Why doesn't Mrs. Yongchang Hou deliver a letter?" The chief official of the government office frowned, feeling that this day at work was too difficult.
The boss brought a bowl of herbal tea to his superior: "Sir, calm down your anger. Since Mrs. Hou didn't say anything, we'll just hold off."
No interrogation, no questioning. Isn’t this what everyone is good at?
“This is the only way.”
At the same time, in teahouses and restaurants in Kyoto, this topic was discussed with saliva flying around.
"I bet a hundred coins, and within ten days Yongchang Hou will definitely be released!" The scholar-looking man was delighted, and he felt that the betting was open, as if he was giving away money. of.
"The husband is the guide for his wife. No matter how maverick Mrs. Yongchang is, she would not dare to imprison a prince for eternity! She has already gained enough face, and she will stop in the near future." Scholar The analysis is clear and logical.
Someone turned their attention to Song Da, who was sitting in the corner: "Song Da, what do you think?"
"I didn't place a bet. This seems to be a battle between husband and wife. Who knows if there is anything else in there? ”
Song Da was very cautious. Before Mrs. Hou made her position clear, he would never waste a penny of his money!
"Hey, you are just too cautious. You always think so much of Mrs. Yongchanghou. After all, she is just a woman."
A tea guest joked.
In the private room on the second floor of Fuquan Tea House, in addition to the three ladies who had been together for a long time, there was an additional prince, the Duke of Jiguo.
The Crown Prince of Ji Guo sat carelessly in an armchair, with lingering fears: "Madam, I told you to learn more from Gu Nanxi in the past, but it was because of my husband that I made a mistake. Don't do this to a tigress like this. Learn from her.”
The rare leisure time of Duke Ji Guo and his wife was interrupted by her husband. She was unhappy in her heart, but with a smile on her face: "Is that man really the Marquis of Yongchang?" Gang: "Isn't that the good-for-nothing! How come I lost at the hands of a woman after spending more than ten years at the border? This is such a joke, so embarrassing!"
Ji Guo The young lady lowered her eyes and said softly: "So, all the adults and the Holy One actually know the true identity of that person?"
"That is natural, he is not that one-year-old child. A lot has changed in the past ten years.”
Mrs. Tu Qiongdeng, the Duke of Jiguo, said: “Then why don’t you claim his identity?”
Prince Ji Guo almost spit out his sip of tea. One face was red from being choked, and he was hesitant and unable to explain the reason.
It's hard for him to tell. Everyone is afraid of Mrs. Yongchang Hou, fearing to disturb her interest, ruin her layout, and eventually cause trouble.
"It is better for a woman to stay at home to support her husband and raise her children. It is excellent for someone like you, Madam."
Mrs. Ji Guogong pursed her lips and chuckled, but her eyes were full of self-mockery: "I It’s very good.”
Take the initiative to take concubines for your husband and take care of your concubine. This is not good, how can it be better?
But judging from the behavior of the husbands, the men are just bullies who are afraid of the strong.
The private room was silent for a while. Mrs. Niu, the general of the country, didn't like the prince's behavior, so she left first.
Mrs. Chen Guogong followed closely behind.
Having a good afternoon tea turned into pieces is really disturbing.
"In the past, I wished I could relegate my wife to the dust. Today, I think of my wife's goodness again, and I am afraid that my wife will imitate Mrs. Hou's shrewdness. It's really despising."
Mrs. Niu, the general of Zhenguo, was filled with indignation as soon as she walked out of the door of Fuquan Building.
Mrs. Chen Guogang was in a languid mood: "It's all down to him! He has no discernment! He insists on getting in on the ladies' party! It's like he can't be seen."
The two were aggrieved and were about to return home when they saw a commotion at the end of the road.
“What happened?”
Mrs. Niu grabbed Song Da, whose face was full of excitement.
Song Da turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Niu. He suppressed his anxiety and said carefully: "A border guard has arrived in Kyoto."
"What's so new about this? Don't guard generals from various places change their defenses every year?" "Mrs. Niu didn't take it seriously.
"The key is that they also brought two groups of aliens! One group looks similar to the Central Plains people, but more rugged, with only a few dozen people." "Another moment, they were covered in robes, Wearing a long cloth on the head, deep eyebrows, nose The beams are tall and bearded. What's more important is that they are actually riding camels!"
Kyoto has a developed economy, and there are always people of all kinds coming to do business in Kyoto, but they are suppressed by the army! Not many people come here.
What's more, because Kyoto's waterways extend in all directions, most merchants prefer to take the waterway, which can carry a large amount of goods, is convenient, and has high safety.
Very few people ride camels and come all the way to Kyoto.
Mrs. Niu had nothing to do anyway, so she thought of joining in the fun.
Visitors from outside the region were stopped at the south gate of Kyoto.
They were directly shocked by the majestic and towering city walls in front of them.
One by one, they all got off the camel extremely obediently and lined up to wait for identity verification.
As for the soldiers at the border, they camped at designated locations outside the city.
"Where did you come from?" the guard guard asked the deputy general.
"Border Pass."
"Our Great Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory. Which border pass did you come from? Whose soldiers are you?"
The lieutenant general looked a little embarrassed. Finally, he closed his eyes and said coldly, "Marquis Yongchang." It appears quite frequently. Everyone says he is Yongchang Hou. "
"What's going on with these aliens?"
Adjutant: "You shouldn't ask, don't ask."
"Even if I don't ask, wait. It won’t take you more than half a day to meet the Holy One, and everything in Kyoto will be known.”
The gatekeepers checked that the foreigners did not carry dangerous weapons and let them go.
“Wow! Chili gua!”
“唛婛哛婷哱哱!”
As soon as they entered the inner city, the foreigners were dazzled by the prosperity of Kyoto and just felt Two eyes are not enough to see, and I wish my parents would give me more pairs of eyes.
The leader in white robe saw an old beggar in tatters and holding a broken bowl among the crowd of onlookers, so he kindly gave the beggar a penny.
Unexpectedly, the old beggar, as if he had been greatly humiliated, took out two pennies from the torn pocket on his waist, and stuffed them into Baipao's hand along with the penny given by the white robe.
Then he snorted coldly: "I am a citizen of Dazhou, and I only accept charity from Dazhou!"
Immediately, he walked away.
The expression on the white robe's face was confused at first, then turned to excitement, and finally turned into excitement.
"My dear friends, this week is so rich! We must stay!"
"It turns out that this is the country of Sailis!"
"The records of the sages are indeed correct! Sailis has a vast territory, a prosperous population, and the people of Sailis are civilized, gentle, just, and live a simple life!"
“This will be our second hometown from now on!”
The Kingdom of Selis was the ancient Roman name for the Han Dynasty.
