Chapter 63: The Hun Merchant
After booking the room, Mo Yan and Mo Yu placed the carriage again. Everyone went to the room to clean up and agreed to meet downstairs for a while.
Su Muwan originally wanted to change her clothes, but Yinhuan packed her clothes at that time were mostly some custom-made horse riding suits from embroidery workshops. Although they were more heroic and cool, the fabric and bright embroidery looked very luxurious, so it would never be possible to wear these to go shopping.
Why? Because you will definitely be slaughtered by the businessman as a sucker!
So Su Muwan finally asked Xiao Liu to go to a nearby ready-to-wear shop and bought a set of men's clothes casually. After changing it, she spread her hair bun and combed it into a tall tie like a man.
I took a look at myself in the mirror and felt that it was still like that.
Because she is tall among women, she can also hold on to her men's clothing. Moreover, the lock here is already a little cold. At this time, wearing a fat jacket covers up the curve on her chest, which makes people feel like a more delicate boy.
However, Su Muwan was still a little worried. She used an eyebrow pencil to thicken her eyebrows, and then a layer of gray powder on her face to cover her fair skin. In this way, she looked more like a handsome young man.
Mo Yan and Mo Yu and a few guards had already packed up. They were drinking tea downstairs while waiting for their princess. At this time, they suddenly saw a man who looked very similar to the princess, holding Xiao Liu's waist and going down the stairs.
Who is this person? Could it be the princess’ younger brother?
No! The princess has no younger brother!
So who is this person? Several people are confused at this time.
The man walked up to him and Mo Yan recognized that he was his own princess, while Mo Yu's little fool was still wondering whether the princess had a younger brother?
Mo Yan raised his eyebrows and was about to ask her why she was dressed like this, "Wang..."
Before the word "Princess" was finished, Xiao Liu followed it: "Hey, yes, this is our prince. In the future, the prince is going out to go shopping, and you guards will follow you."
Then, Xiao Liu lowered his voice and said to Mo Yan: "The identity of the princess is not to be mentioned outside. You will tell me about it with a few others. In the future, when we have someone, the prince will call me like this."
Mo Yan nodded, feeling that her princess was very considerate, but she looked like a man's dress, and I wonder what would happen if her master saw her.
Although this is the first time Su Muwan has dressed up as a man, she is still quite decent. When she walks, she holds her head up and her chest straight, and doesn't look like the same person as the one who makes her look like a lotus when wearing women's clothing.
At this time, Xiao Liu was following her. Although Xiao Liu was not as beautiful as a beauty, she was at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and she had only one word on her body, pretty!
Ruyu is a pretty maid next to Mr. Ruyu, and there are several guards with a tiger-backed and bear-backed waisted waisted ones. This configuration can be said to be a must-have for playboys.
So Su Muwan walked all the way, but no one dared to provoke her. Even when Su Muwan ordered Xiao Liu to buy some specialties, the vendors directly gave a minimum price and did not dare to raise the price at will.
Su Muwan was thinking while walking around that although the Jinzhou City was remote, it had a bit of prosperity due to the lack of light trade. Although it was not as good as the capital, because it was a collision between Dazhou and the Xiongnu culture, it had a bit of unique style. The word "香" is appropriate to describe it, which was a bit like a cluster of flowers.
The Huns and Dazhou also had peace, but even if it was peace, they never thought of getting along well. The two countries either never interacted with each other or went directly to war.
But in fact, if the two countries can have a good relationship, the interests of both countries will be beneficial.
Every time the Huns took the initiative to start a war, it was late autumn. Only in this season did they have strong soldiers and strong horses to support the consumption of the Hun soldiers going to fight.
As late autumn passed, the Huns' lives were difficult. "The north wind blew over the ground and the grass broke, and the sky was flying in August." Their winter was particularly difficult.
So why we need to fight is not because there is little food and poor materials, but to achieve this goal, trade is a better choice in addition to fighting.
It was not easy to just make the Huns give up on the idea of fighting? They were already used to fighting for everything on horseback.
"Young Master, I heard that there is a shop in front that sells cream made of milk from the grassland. It is the most moisturizing thing to apply to your hands. Why don't we go and have a look together?"
When Xiao Liu saw Su Muwan start to stare blankly again, thinking that she was missing Shangguan Yu, she wanted to use other things to attract her.
Su Muwan thought it was Xiao Liu who wanted the cream, so she nodded to agree to go, but she didn't expect that the store was actually a rouge shop.
It is reasonable to say that the young man dressed as Su Muwan went in. A man as strong as Mo Yan and Mo Yu would be mocked by others when they came in, so they simply waited at the door and waited for Xiao Liu, Su Muwan and the others.
The cream is indeed of high quality and is very moist when applied to the hands, but it is better than the quality sold in the capital.
Thinking of Madam Ying in the palace, who was older, her hands naturally became rough. It was just right to bring her a box of this, which was also her own wish. And the mother Liu who stayed in the inn also had to bring a box. Thinking of this, Su Muwan simply bought a few more boxes and returned to Beijing to give it to others.
The owner of this shop does not look like a man from Dazhou, but he can speak fluent Jinzhou dialect, which shows that he has been here for many years.
Just when Su Muwan asked Xiao Liu to give the money to the boss, a man suddenly came in from the shop and said nothing, turning over and hiding under the counter. Seeing Su Muwan looking at him, she blinked.
Then several Huns rushed in and asked, "Did you see a man who is probably so tall and wearing a big helmet clothes?"
At this time, the women in the store were frightened and no one dared to answer his questions.
Seeing that these Huns were coming in full force, Su Muwan said, "I saw that he was a man in blue clothes and ran to the street in front."
Hearing Su Muwan say this, they chased after him again.
At this time, Mo Yan and Mo Yu also walked in, "Young Master, what did those Huns do to you just now?"
Su Muwan shook her head, "You'd better wait outside first, we'll go out after buying things."
The man who was chased saw that everyone had left and came out of the counter, he was about to thank Su Muwan: "Thank you for your help. If you meet him again in the future, you will definitely get rewarded. Let's say goodbye today!" After that, he ran in a different direction than the Huns.
Su Muwan didn't know whether she had done the right thing or wrongly just now, so she could only let go of this matter first and continue to stroll with Xiao Liu.
I bought milk slices and yogurt candy for Shangguan Chen. Su Muwan tasted them one by one. The taste was very unique. If you buy more on the way, you can also treat it as a snack.
Su Muwan finally bought a few good leather pieces and planned to go back to the palace to make a knee pad for Shangguan Yu. Although her needlework is not outstanding, it is not a problem to do knee pads.
After a long walk around, Su Muwan felt much better, so she took everyone back to the house and went back to the inn for supper.
...
The palace of the Liusha Temple a few days ago.
"Bored! I'm so bored! I'm tired of playing with the things my father rewarded, and there's nothing new about it!"
Shangguan Huan said and threw out an inkstone at his hand. The inkstone was a bit thick and hit a little maid's head. It immediately burst into blood, but the maid didn't even dare to move.
Her personal palace maids Chen Xiang and Huai Xiang got angry when they saw her, looked at each other, walked to her side, and advised: "Why not, the princess goes to the Imperial Garden for a walk. The nearest chrysanthemums are blooming just in time, so you can go and enjoy the flowers."
"What's so good about the broken flower? I heard that there are some poetry clubs in the capital that women have formed, and they also use the chrysanthemums to make sour poems. Humph! These women know that they can show off their talents by using various names all day long, and they don't feel embarrassed!" Shangguan Huan said with a ferocious expression.
She hated those talented and beautiful women the most in her life because she had nothing at all. So whether she met good-looking or vocal, Shangguan Huan could always say nothing about them.
What Shangguan Huan said was not easy to agree with Chenxiang and Huaixiang, so they just lowered their heads.
"Hmph, you servants are useless and don't even know how to chat with me." Shangguan Huan said angrily.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered Su Xinai. She was very good at talking last time and fell into the same state as herself. Why not just have someone invite her to talk to her with her?
"Come here, send someone to Prince Yu's mansion to invite Concubine Su."
"Princess, no!"
When Chenxiang heard that Shangguan Huan was going to invite Su Xinai, he quickly knelt down.
"Why not? I am a princess, and I can't even invite a concubine with a golden branch or jade leaf?" Shangguan Huan shouted angrily.
"I don't mean this, but the princess doesn't know that a few days ago, the emperor went to Prince Yu's mansion and ordered that Concubine Su be not allowed to leave the gate of Prince Yu's mansion before Prince Yu's return."
Chen Xiang carefully explained to Shangguan Huan that the emperor came to punish the two people in the past few days, so she also heard about it.
"How could my father give such a strange order? It must be the trick of that bitch Su Muwan. Last time she caused me to be blamed by my father. This time I was hurt by my beloved and couldn't go out. OK! You can't go out, right? She can't go out, so I came to my house by myself. Come on, I'll set up a trip! I'm going to Prince Yu's Mansion!"
After being blamed by her father for having an argument with Su Muwan last time, she insisted on apologizing to Su Muwan, Shangguan Huan hated her and made up her mind to deal with her sooner or later.
Now she went to Prince Yu's mansion to see what methods Su Muwan had used to make her father blame her beloved.
