Chitose words

Yaowang Street, Shedun City, Yitaluo Mansion.

The building here is the ancestral residence of the Yitaluo clan, one of the nine high-ranking castes of the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang, who was responsible for the medical and poisonous arts in Western Xinjiang.

There are actually many residences of the Yitaluo clan in Shedun City and even throughout Western Xinjiang.

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

"Master" is the honorific title for the heads of the high-caste families in Western Xinjiang. The heads of each of the nine high-castes are all top nobles with the most supreme power in the Fenglan Dynasty.And "people with the surname Zhang" also have an ancestral home passed down from generation to generation in Shedun City.

At this time, in the house of the head of the Yitaluo family, two maids from "Black Sailuo" saw no one around and were chatting in whispers.

Among them, the older maid was talking to the younger one about recent gossip in the house:
"Have you heard? A female doctor from Nanchao Tianchen came to our house yesterday?"

It was obviously the first time for the young maid to hear the news. She immediately put down her work out of curiosity and asked in a low voice:

"Really? Are they from the Tianchen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty? We haven't seen anyone from the Southern Dynasty in Shedun City for several years."

"Why haven't I seen it before?"

The previous maid sneered, looked at the little maid and shook her head with a smile:
"You, what kind of memory is this? Didn't a prince from the Southern Dynasty also come to our Western Xinjiang as an envoy two years ago?

I remember that His Majesty even opened the largest gate in the East City and personally welcomed the prince who came from Tianchen into the city. What a great honor! "

The little maid searched for relevant information from her memory. She said "ah" and suddenly said:
"Ah! Is this the time my sister is talking about? I seem to have some impression, but I happened to take a ten-day leave to go back to my hometown to attend the funeral of my uncle at that time, but I never saw the appearance of the prince of the Southern Dynasty."

The little maid murmured: "In order to welcome him into the city, Your Majesty actually opened the middle gate of the East City Gate wide?

The last time the middle gate of the East Gate of Shedun City was opened, it seems to have been more than 20 years ago? "

The older maid looked reminiscing and said: "Yes, I heard the old people in the mansion say that the last time the east gate of our city was opened was when His Majesty came to the throne to bid farewell to the Fenglan Dynasty when he traveled thousands of miles to represent the Fenglan Dynasty. The soldiers of the Southern Dynasties who put things right and quelled the rebellion of King Yong."

She murmured: "I wonder who the prince of the Southern Dynasty who went to our western Xinjiang as envoy more than two years ago actually got the honor of having the middle gate of the east city gate opened wide to welcome him."

The Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang has always been closed and does not like to have many interactions with outsiders. Therefore, the east gate of the capital city of Shedun rarely opens the middle gate for the sake of city defense and security.

Most of the time, there are only two side gates left at the East City Gate for people and business travelers to enter and exit the city.

This situation of completely opening the middle gate of the entire east gate of Shedun City is rare in Fenglan in Western Xinjiang.

Except for the fact that the coffin of the emperor Fenglan of Western Xinjiang was taken out of the city and buried after his death, only the extremely prominent kings of other countries or important envoys who visited would have the Fenglan royal family order the middle gate of the east gate of Kyoto's Shedun City to be opened.

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

"Sister, why are you silent? What do people from the Southern Dynasties look like? Have you seen them?"

She was still very young, and she had worked in the house of the head of Yitaluo since she was a child. She rarely went out, so naturally she had never seen people from the Southern Dynasties who rarely visited Western Xinjiang.

The older maid hesitated for a moment, shook her head slightly and said:
"Actually, I have never seen him. The prince who came from the Southern Dynasty two years ago got into His Majesty's car outside the East City Gate and drove into the city. Everyone watched on both sides of the street, but they couldn't see his true face in Lushan. However, I heard from the elders in the tribe that people in the Southern Dynasties all have straight hair and black eyes. Other than that, they look pretty much the same as us people from Western Xinjiang."

"Really?"

Another little maid looked shocked and said:
"Their hair is not curly hair? And their eyes, aren't they brown or light brown? Don't they look weird with black eyes?"

The older maid shook her head and smiled: "Who knows? However, there is not much difference between black and brown.

Thinking about it, if they had their straight hair braided, they would look similar to us Western Xinjiang people, right? "

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

She has been born as a "black racer" and has never had the opportunity to leave Shedun City to see the outside world.

However, she has a "good" fate. Her ancestors and grandson have been slaves in the house of the head of the Yitaluo family for three generations. Therefore, she does not need to do the most painful and tiring work like other "black Sailuo" outside. She only needs to work in the house. Just some light serving errands.

Among the nine high-class surname families, they can stay as domestic slaves as "black Sailuo". That is the best way out among "black Sailuo". If you say it, others will envy you. .

The older maid saw the little maid's eager and curious look, and quickly warned her with a straight face.

"Hey, Ruoying, don't have unrealistic thoughts, and don't disturb the guests' rest.

The guests have been invited into the guest house by the owner. We are just the maids responsible for cleaning the outer courtyard. If we approach the guest house without being summoned and disturb the distinguished guests, we may have our legs broken! "

The younger maid named "Ruoying" was immediately shocked when she heard this!
She quickly put away the unrealistic thoughts in her mind, waved her hands and said:
"Sister Ruochan, I, I just said it casually! I wouldn't be bold enough to spy on the guests!"

The maid named Ruochan shook her head slightly and laughed at her:
"It's best if you know! But Ruoying, you are as timid as a cicada. I think you should be called 'Ruochan'."

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

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

The two "Black Sailuo" maids finished watering the flowers in the garden in the outer courtyard one by one, and each holding a small silk handkerchief, they carefully wiped away the small mud spots on the petals and branches and leaves caused by the previous sunset rain.

After repeatedly confirming that nothing was missing, they left together to work in the next yard.

At the same time, in the guest house of Yi Daluo family, Han Changsheng was grabbing Xie Zhao and asking questions with a puzzled look on his face.

"——No, why were you so sure yesterday that the head of the Yitaluo family has a disease in his right hand?"

Han Changsheng looked shocked and confused.

"I actually got hit by you blind cat. The person in charge of the Yitaluo family was actually fooled by you. And that 'hand-holding gift', what's going on?
