Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 912 Strange Smell
Liu Mu rode on his horse with Baoqin and began to look around. Soon, he found a low cliff five miles away from the castle. Liu Mu ordered people to blow up the cliff here, and then build a pier. It is best for the main warships to Rely on, at the very last time, let the [-]-material fast transport ship dock.

According to Baoqin, if there is any trouble, you can quickly escape to the sea if you can't beat it.

At sea, with invincible warships, danger disappears.

For the visit of the Frankish Kingdom, the Romans suggested that at least first listen to what the other party wanted to do. Frank was not an enemy of the Eastern Roman Empire, and Liu Mu accepted this suggestion.

When the guests arrived, Liu Mu realized that his ancient Greek was not good enough.

It was not a Frankish king who came, but a not-so-small visiting group of noble ladies headed by a royal woman. They said that visiting him in the name of the king was just part of the incomplete oriental etiquette learned by the Frankish kingdom. A little misunderstanding.

In Dugu Lanruo's tea room, there are purple gold velvet curtains with gold borders, forged silk tablecloths, woolen carpets, and the subtle fragrance in the air.

The leader was also a princess, the king's sister.

Princess Irene Sarah stood at the door of the living room, holding the corners of her skirts with both hands and did not take another step forward, because she found that even the maids from the mysterious oriental country had a pleasant fragrance on them, and every time Fragrances vary from person to person.

Princess Eileen Sarah sniffed her friends, and she often smelled that smell on her body, but at this time it felt so pungent.

"Hunia, how do I smell?"

"The fragrance powder you chose is very suitable."

"No, I want to hear the truth."

The lady named Junia did not speak, because she could not speak.

Princess Irene Sarah lowered her voice: "I want to hear the truth."

Junia still didn't answer, at this time a maid from the Tang Dynasty spoke beside them using noble ancient Greek and said, "Dear guest, the formal banquet may take a while, and Her Royal Highness ordered us to take the distinguished guest to experience Tang-style beauty treatment." .”

"cosmetic?"

"It's a process of making women more beautiful."

"Of course." Princess Irene Sarah agreed without any hesitation.

In the tea room, Dugu Lanruo gently rubbed her forehead, wanted to say something, but didn't say a word.

On the contrary, Xiao Ling'er spoke bluntly: "The clothes of all these noble ladies are not as good as the cooks in the side courtyard of my house. The smell on their bodies makes people want to vomit a hundred steps away. I haven't heard of them being princesses." Princess Guo actually has a beard smell on her body."

The word "hu stinky" comes from the end of Jin Dynasty, when it appeared during the period of Wuhu Chaohua.

In modern terms, it is body odor.

Xie Xing'er subconsciously covered her nose, she was very concerned about the smell.

Dugu Lanruo would never open her mouth to say such things, even if she also discussed body odor, she would not open her mouth, because she is a princess, representing the princess of the Tang Empire here.

"Princess, how about preparing the medicine?" Xiao Linger asked from the side.

"Yes." Dugu Lanruo gave an affirmative answer.

Beauty is just an excuse, these people smell too bad.The noblewomen of the Eastern Roman Empire have been in contact with the Tang civilization for more than a year. In the Roman era, the Romans had public bathrooms, and bathing was very common.

The Franks are different. As Duke Romeo said, many people with the title of princess smell like sheepfolds.

Take a bath, wash it three times first to reduce the unpleasant smell on your body. Fortunately, you don't need the maids of the Tang Dynasty to do it, you can just order the maids of those noble ladies to do it.

When a powder for smearing was delivered to Princess Irene Sarah, she asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"It can make people refreshed. For example, when the weather is hot, the underarms will not sweat, and there will be no smell."

Princess Irene Sarah naturally knew what was wrong with her.

The daily expenditure on face powder is more than half of her monthly expenditure, just to suppress these bad smells on her body.

A maid from the Tang Dynasty gave Princess Irene Sarah a list of complete care packages including beauty care, skin care, makeup, perfume, etc., and then quoted a price.

A scream came from the castle, and even Liu Mu, who was fishing by the sea, was startled.

"Just seventeen gold coins?"

"Of course." The Tang maidservant ordered the two female slaves to put all the items needed for a month on the table.

"No, it's not good." Princess Eileen Sarah shook her head: "You Tang people have not shown respect to a princess. Respect to Frank."

"I do not understand what you mean."

"I'm going to use princess items instead of these cheap ones."

Princess Irene Sarah used to spend close to a hundred gold coins on face powder every month. Of course, there were huge profits from black-hearted Persian businessmen.

The maid in charge of introducing the products was about to explain that what she had put out was very good.

Before she could open her mouth, another said: "Common merchants don't have goods for the beauty and care products used by the Tang royal family. These are the goods you can buy from every Tang merchant, or they may be the goods of Constantine. Ding’s merchants bought it from our Tang merchants, and then sold it to Frankish merchants, and then you, the noble princess, bought it from Frankish merchants.”

Princess Irene Sarah understood. If the merchant changes hands several times, it will not be seventeen gold coins. It may be thirty, forty, fifty, or even more.

But there is another sentence that she also heard, Tang Royal Supplies.

Princess Irene Sarah immediately asked: "I don't know what level the princess we are visiting is."

In Frank, the lord's daughter is also a princess. The lord may be a duke or an earl.There are even low-level lords such as barons in remote areas.

"I am the eldest princess of the Tang Empire, the younger sister of His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor, and I have the highest title among all the princesses except the elder sister of His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor, Princess Tang Zhaowu." The maid explained Dugu Lanruo's status in the Great Tang. status.

Princess Irene Sarah said immediately before the maidservant finished speaking: "Then, the princess should have royal supplies from the Tang Empire."

"Naturally there is."

"Please bring my clothes, I want to see Her Royal Highness immediately."

Princess Irene Sarah used the word audience. She is just the sister of a king. The most noble in the entire Mediterranean should be the Eastern Roman Emperor, the younger sister of the emperor from the powerful and mysterious Tang Empire in the East. She needs to use the word audience.

Not only in Datang, but also in the Mediterranean, there is a strict social hierarchy.

The same name is called a princess, but it does not necessarily represent the same identity.

　It's late today, so I apologize in advance.

　　Some things were delayed, so I hurriedly wrote after returning home, and only wrote two chapters.

　　Sorry, sorry.
