Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 19 The Trench Lord

To the north of the city is a splendid castle-like building.

After the elephant team entered the city, they went directly to the castle.

On the way, Li Xiang has already said that the lord here has great power, equivalent to the king of a small country, and this lord is the most powerful and wealthy within a few hundred miles.

Seeing such a luxurious building, Xie Jue was still a little surprised.

Li Xiang glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's nothing, if you go to see Baghdad in Dashi, it will be really magnificent."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "But Mr. Xie, if you really want to go to Baghdad, don't show your true face."

Xie Jue was taken aback, and looked sideways, but Li Xiang had already turned his head and greeted a local who came up to him.

The man led the elephant team to stop, talking to Li Xiang while looking at the unloaded goods.

Li Xiang brought mostly silk and porcelain, while Xie Jue brought tea cakes.

After this unloading, you can see the benefits of tea cakes.

It doesn't take up space!
As for the weight... the most important thing an elephant can bear is weight.

Xie Jue asked the steward to take three kinds of tea cakes, and followed Li Xiang into the hall.

The buildings here are completely different from those in the Song Dynasty.

The main hall is paved with marble. It is extremely wide, with a total area of ​​two to three hundred square meters. There are long corridors extending out on both sides. The floor is extremely clean, and the light is as light as a guide. People who walk to and fro are barefoot.

The lord sat on a low bed made of fur and fur, beside him were singing and singing, and there were also many beautiful women covered with gold ornaments and precious stones.

"These are the lord's wives, they are here to pick silk." Li Xiang whispered in Xie Jue's ear.

Xie Jue didn't pay attention, but glared at Su Yue.

Su Yue quickly put away the look of being so surprised that her eyes almost popped out, lowered her eyes solemnly, and shrank behind Xie Qi.

Well, she's a servant now!No matter how small he is, he looks like a man from the outside.

Staring at that woman who didn't even cover her breasts...

But Xie Jue noticed her demeanor.

The people in the hall would not pay attention to a child at all, their minds were all on the strands of silk unfolding in the hall.

What Li Xiang brought here was not the ordinary silk that was sold to merchants, but the top-quality silk produced in Hangzhou, some of which were from the Song Dynasty, and they all sold for dozens of taels of silver a piece.

Red Luo Fei Luo, water silk, brocade...

As soon as the silk was unfolded, the lord asked someone to carry two boxes of gold out.

Then he waved his hand to let a group of women go up to get it, and when they were done, the lord threw a few pieces of gold to Li Xiang without asking the price.

Not long after, hundreds of bolts of silk were robbed.

And the two boxes of gold also belonged to Li Xiang.

Gold is relatively heavy, so there are always several thousand taels of gold in such two boxes.

A rough calculation made it tenfold.

But that doesn't count.

The lord was also very happy to say a few words to Li Xiang.

The translation steward translated softly: "He said that these things are very good, he is very happy, and will give him resin and branches filled with ten elephants."

An adult elephant can carry nearly a thousand catties, and ten elephants can bear ten thousand catties.

If the branch resin is a spice that can be sold for ten taels of silver a catty in the Song Dynasty, or a more expensive borneol...

Xie Jue's eyes narrowed slightly.

At this time, Li Xiang had already thanked the lord, and then mentioned that his companion had something magical for the lord to taste.

The lord was very happy, picked up a big piece of meat next to him, tore and bit a piece, and pointed at Li Wanwan to bring it up quickly.

Xie Jue glanced at the plate next to him that had been emptied twice in such a short time (it was filled with meat), thought for a moment, and said to the manager, "Bring black tea."

This time he brought three kinds of tea, one was selected from Tuancha, and the other was black tea and black tea.

The steward nodded and took out the black tea cakes.

Li Xiang took a look at the tea cake, then smelled the fragrance carefully, his eyes deepened slightly, and then he smiled lightly.

He said to the lord: "Please let the lord let the boiling water go."

They were given a seat on the side, and various foods, fruits, and juices were placed on the table.

Now that Li wanted hot water, the lord smiled and asked people to obey his orders.

Xie Jue looked at the lord, moved his body a bit, and said to Su Yue, "Come here."

Su Yue: "Huh?"

Xie Jue glared at her.

Su Yue immediately stepped forward, knelt down beside Xie Jue, and began to prepare tea.

In Annan, the Annan lord was equivalent to the status of the Annan king, and he treated Xie Jue very politely and courteously.

So Xie Jue personally ordered the tea, which was regarded as a respect (because no one else would).

And although this lord was bold and unrestrained, he didn't have any respect for them, so she would not lose Xie Jue's identity if she came up as a servant.

(Actually, it's because black tea is not conducive to ordering tea, and now Su Yue has also learned how to order tea)

Feeling that she understood Xie Jue's meaning, Su Yue's expression was very solemn.

There is also elegance in the movements.

The simple action of making tea also created a mood for her.

Li Xiang was surprised to see it, and the lord and his wives were even more interesting.

After seeing the dark thing, after brewing, it turned out to be a clear and translucent amber color, and there was a very pleasant smell wafting out.

The lord directly called the people around him to go up and take the cup of tea.

Xie Jue not only brought the tea, but also the tea set for making the tea. The amber tea soup was shaking in the white porcelain bowl.

Make people like it at first glance.

The lord didn't hesitate to take it, and swallowed it by himself.

Li Xiang unconsciously twitched the corners of his brows, and said inwardly that it was a pity.

Tasting tea is the most important thing about tasting tea. How can you taste the taste of tea with such a good drink?
I must have the impression that I need to make a discount, I am afraid that the price...

Such a shame for such a good tea.

Before he could sigh, he saw the lord's eyes widen, and he stretched out his hand for a servant to bring a pot of tea over.

Regardless of the boiling hotness of the tea, he made people blow it, and then he drank a few sips.

Then pat this stomach and shout comfortable.

After shouting, he said to Xie Jue: "This thing is good! It's very good! I want as many as you have!"

As he spoke, he waved for someone to take something.

Xie Jue smiled, and asked the steward to translate and said, "I still have a cup of tea, which I want to dedicate to the lord."

While speaking, Su Yue had already brewed black tea.

Black tea has a richer aroma than black tea, and the tea soup is brighter, looking like sparkling gemstones.

The lord sat up straight unconsciously, leaning his head forward.

This time, it's not a sip of booze, but a smell of the fragrance first, and then a sip.

Then, take another gulp to finish that glass.

Then, he closed his eyes.

The whole hall was quiet.

After a while, the lord opened his eyes, picked up a gold collar inlaid with huge gemstones, and threw it to Xie Jue.

At the same time, he smiled and said, "Okay! Give me as much as you have! Whatever you want!"
