Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 190 Orchid enters the city
Crowds of people come and go, and the sound of hawkers can be heard on the long street.

Among the Xiran crowd, the accompanying women picked and rubbed the fine cloth with their fine fingers, whispering to the women beside them.The bare-chested and strong man gripped the blade with his thumbs, haggling loudly.The procuress, who was heavily made up, saw the rich man in Chinese clothes passing by, and greeted him warmly, and the makeup piled up on his fat face fell off.

Sitting on the second floor of the tea shop, Li Xian recalled the previous embarrassment here, and took it as an anecdote. On the other side of the desk, Cheng Chumo told the story of meeting the mysterious boss for the first time.

"Yo~ there is Orchid! The white flowers are really eye-catching."

I don't know who shouted in the tea shop.

next moment.

Hu Yin is long, and the sound of pipa and strings is slowly resounding in front of the teahouse.

The tea drinkers who were still tasting tea got up out of curiosity and leaned over to the window, poking their heads out.Holding the abacus in his hands, the shopkeeper moved his fat body, and the bearded Le Dian bumped to the long street outside the tea shop.

Strips of various colors are hung on the huge frame pulled by four camels, and an open space is paved with a red carpet in the center. A dancer from the Western Regions shakes the bell on her ankle, shaking passionately in the pipa and Hujia of the accompanying camel team musicians. With a bare waist, a pair of blue eyes and a pair of charming guests swept across the surrounding guests and blinked lightly. The light veil covered most of the face, revealing a sense of mystery.

For Hu Ji, the people of Chang'an are no strangers since the prosperous age, but this is the first time they have seen such a gorgeous camel caravan.

Li Xian has seen such scenes in film and television dramas before, but this is the first time he has seen them so vividly in a foreign country.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are bold and unrestrained, but they still retain a bit of reserve in their bones, which is not too revealing like this orchid.

"Brother Li, do you like watching orchids dance? I still think you are a fairy living your life and don't like these rouge and vulgar fans."

Cheng Chu lay on the window sill silently, glanced at Li Xian who was staring straight at him from the corner of his eye, and made fun of him.

Food and sex are also the original words of our ancestors.

What's more, this scene looks somewhat more real than the scenes in later generations, film and television dramas, Li Xian smiled lightly.

"It's nothing to do with preferences, it's just pure appreciation."

"In the past, I was living in the mansion. I often heard about it, but I never saw it. Now I see it, and it doesn't cost money."

At this moment, the flow of people on the street had already swarmed over, and the slow-moving camel caravan simply stopped amidst the crowd.

The strings of the lute were plucked, and amidst the sudden high-pitched sound, Orchid whirled and danced lightly. Amidst bursts of intense vocal music, the gauze dress was gradually raised layer by layer, and the long white legs were gradually upward in the rotation. exposed.

The onlookers exclaimed in surprise, and some dandies in Chinese clothes blew their whistles.

A woman covered the child's eyes and twisted the ears of the man who was staring sideways with one hand, followed by yelling and cursing.Many women pointed at the group of shirts that were gradually spinning up, and there was a slight commotion in the scene.

The sound of the reed tube fell, and Orchid exposed her long legs on the stage, and gave a kiss to the applauding spectators with her hands behind the veil.

A pair of black characters on a red background rose on the high platform flag behind him.

"Acquainted with astronomy, keep the sun, moon and stars as companions. Understood geography, and regard the five lakes and the four seas as guests."

"it is good!"

Some people couldn't help applauding when they saw the big characters on the couplets hanging down.

"What a big-headed ghost! The dance is a good dance, and the person is a good person, but this poem is too hostile!"

A literati holding a paper fan frowned and murmured among the crowd when they saw the big flying characters.

Looking up, the gorgeous chariot has drifted away, leaving only the crisp sound of wind chimes lingering on this street corner.

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity, we chose the wrong place, otherwise we might be able to see the faint face of this Orchid."

Cheng Chumo was a little unsure, and sat down again with a click of his tongue.

Seeing Cheng Chumo drinking a cup of tea, still reminiscing about his previous appearance, he shook his head slightly.

It really confirms the words of later generations, the ancestors vowed to conquer the Western Regions to the death, it seems that it is not just for that region.Even the seemingly unfeminine Cheng Chumo is quite obsessed, it seems that this exotic aesthetic has a glimpse.

Taking a sip of tea, Li Xian said slowly.

"I heard that there are many orchids in the Red Moon Building. You can go and find out."

Cheng Chumo came back to his senses and rolled his eyes at Li Xian.

"Oh! Don't go!"

"That barbarian woman has a strong body odor, and she's a bit smoky."

After gulping down a sip of the fermented rice, Cheng Chumo put down the cup heavily and spoke freely.

"What's more, this convoy doesn't look like an ordinary convoy at first glance. It must be some wealthy caravans, or maybe it's a formation that only the cronies of royal families in foreign lands have."

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Chumo seemed to think of the couplet that hung down at the end, and then he said after thinking about it for a while.

"It seems inappropriate to say that it is a barbarian caravan. Have you ever seen couplets hanging in a caravan?"

"It's kind of confusing to say the least."

A boy with a white cloth on his shoulders came forward, added some teacups, and took over the conversation.

"This young man is right."

"In the past, even those who admired our calligraphy and paintings of the Tang Dynasty would never hang couplets on the frame."

"Besides, most of the business owners are those who make a fortune silently. Who would post such arrogant couplets in such a high-profile manner?"

After gurgling hot tea, the servant pulled the white cloth over his shoulders, wiped a few water stains on the table, and put the white cloth on his shoulders again.

Covering the corner of his lips with one hand, he leaned over, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"However, it may be a means to add a touch of color to future merchants."

"We spectators are just here for fun, aren't we? It's refreshing to watch, hahaha."

Pushing the teacup, the servant laughed, bowed and nodded.

"The guest officer is slow to use, so let's talk about it casually."

Holding the teacup again, the two of them took a sip without paying attention to the servant's words at all.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Hu Ji was not the only one among the merchants. Over the years, the silk-woven porcelain of the Tang Dynasty has been widely spread, and the glazed spices from the Western Regions have also been introduced to the Tang Dynasty.The sales promotion methods on the merchants can be described as endless, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with relying on the beautiful orchid to attract business.

At the corner of the street, two elegantly dressed masters and servants, holding oiled paper umbrellas, watched the two people who were scattered or followed the convoy slowly step down the steps.

"Bah! Don't be ashamed, look at how this imperial city has been harmed by a coquettish woman!"

"There are also these men, each with those eyes, it makes people sick to look at!"

The angry words spit out her vermilion lips, Axiu gritted her white teeth and squeezed her fist.

A figure in a light-yellow shirt beside him tightened his shawl and cloak, and smiled.

"Axiu Mo is talking nonsense, that convoy is not an ordinary convoy, it is owned by the royal family of the Western Regions."

"Which other musicians have their heads wrapped around their backs, they are dressed as merchants, and they have gold ornaments and jade plaques around their waists. They seem to be members of the Tubo royal family."

"Perhaps these people are envoys from different countries."

Princess Changle smiled slightly at the staring figure beside Lala.

"Let's go, Mr. Li must still be in the workshop, we can still catch up if we go now."

While speaking, the two went to the carriage parked at the fork in the alley.
