Chapter 1154 Who is she
"Your Majesty, you should swallow the wine slowly in your mouth so that the taste of the wine can fill your mouth, so that you can have the aroma of the teeth and cheeks..."
Li Shun once again demonstrated the correct way to drink wine.
"Huh~~~~~"
Under Li Shun's guidance, as a sip of wine slowly penetrated into his stomach, Antioch finally let out a long breath, with an incomparable surprise and intoxication on his face, he closed his eyes slightly and took a sip again and savored it slowly.
"Please, please, the two ladies, please~" Li Shun raised his glass and signaled Antioch's three beautiful wives to raise their glasses to taste the Qinghe wine together.
The three women couldn't wait to hold the wine glass carefully with their hands.
There was still a glass of wine left in the golden wine plate, and the remaining officials of the group and the groups of palace maids around were all staring at each other. Antioch, who had half-closed his eyes, seemed to feel so many greedy gazes, and he reached out and placed the glass in front of him.
"Damn it, it's shameless!"
A group of mission officials muttered in their hearts and swallowed their saliva and forced their eyes away.
For them, even a steamed bun in their hometown is enough to make them unable to curb their urge to drool. When they go out, the taste of their hometown is so nostalgic.
A small glass of wine is about two taels, just a few sips.
After drinking with his three wives, Antioch looked relatively uniform. He held the wine glass in both hands and was a little dazed. Finally, he looked at the bottle of Qinghe wine.
"Your Majesty, how? Is this grape wine of Daqin worth the money?" Li Shun also spoke with unsatisfactory after drinking the wine in his hand.
"It is indeed the most beautiful wine in the world. I apologize for my words just now. Compared with this kind of fine wine, camel milk wine is indeed similar to urine. This bet is considered to be my loss. When you set off, I will arrange for officials to send 3,000 gold coins to the hotel!" After the translation was published, Antioch came back to his senses and spoke with a lonely expression.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty has indeed kept your promise. Unfortunately, it is not convenient for us to carry this time. But if Your Majesty is willing to engage in friendly trade with us, this kind of wine will inevitably be transported to Anxue in the future. Your Majesty and the Queen will enjoy it!" Li Shunchang grinned happily, and his little tongue in his throat was swaying desperately.
"Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty not only has porcelain, glass and silk, but also such an intriguing wine. You must send envoys to the Qin Dynasty. We need more items from the Qin Dynasty!" The queen reluctantly put down her wine glass and said.
"You are right. We really can't give up this opportunity. After drinking this delicious wine, I am afraid that nothing will taste in the future. Tomorrow III will summon ministers to discuss the matter of sending Qin State!" Antioch III nodded, and the thick eyebrows on his young face were frowned in a line.
Li Shun and a group of members of the delegation all breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a knowing and relaxed smile on each other's faces.
In addition to promoting the prosperity and prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, the Western countries also had an important purpose to promote friendly trade and exchanges.
This is the request of the Hou of Qinghe.
War expansion is never the preferred means, and business exchanges are the best way to promote mutual understanding and integration.
Moreover, along the way, Li Shun and others deeply understood what Chen Xu meant, that was, it was too far from the Qin Dynasty to here, so far that the army could not replenish supplies from the local area. If someone cut off the retreat and went alone to the West to fight tens of thousands of miles, the consequences would be difficult to predict.
What's more, even if you conquer how to manage it, it is a very headache.
Whether it was the division of feudal or the division of counties, the court was far beyond reach for such a long distance.
After drinking grape wine, Antioch III had no desire for the table of dishes and camel milk wine. Li Shun and others were almost full of wine, so they suggested that Antioch III and his three wives make tea.
Throughout the world, in addition to teaching mahjong, teaching kings and nobles from various countries to make tea is also a traditional program.
After all, drinking tea is an extremely mysterious thing for Westerners. After hundreds of years, the Chinese people learned to drink tea until the late Ming Dynasty. Westerners then praised it as an etiquette that nobility must learn. They do not know how to make tea. Aristocrats who do not have tea or porcelain at home are not real nobles and will be ridiculed as shameless... Well, people without porcelain.
Now, Chen Xu wants to teach Westerners the habit of drinking tea more than ten centuries, and then he will continue to use tea to earn a lot of gold, silver and treasures from the West.
Compared with luxury goods such as porcelain and silk, tea is the lowest cost and the highest profit. It is just that a little leaves consumes some labor. In this wilderness, the cost is simply negligible.
To exchange the most valuable leaves for gold, silver and treasures from the West is almost a plunder of wealth.
This is a victory of cultural output, and it is also one of the few victories in China against the West. It is this victory that has caused Western countries to rush like sharks that smelled blood. Without enough mental preparation, China has begun to decline, and it has no consciousness to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dominate the world. It has led to China's rushing in the wave of globalization for a few times and then being ravaged by people in the water. A great country standing in the history of human civilization for thousands of years was actually bullied to the point of compensation of billions of taels of silver.
But in this time and space, looking at the globe placed on his desk, an Eastern emperor had been staring at the globe for several years at the instigation of someone, and opened his arms to the huge world map hanging on the wall when there was no one.
"Uh, Uh, Haha~~"
...
Under the bright spring sunshine, in the garden of Antioch III Palace, all the banquets on the dining table have been removed, leaving only a set of exquisite tea sets.
Li Shun personally demonstrated tea cooking skills from Daqin.
Use a knife to scrape the fish glue and wax sealed outside the bamboo tube, use a small bamboo clip inside to grab a small amount of tea leaves and put it into the teapot, and then slowly inject the burnt hot water into the teapot.
As a strong steam mist emanates, a unique fragrance of tea that has been missing for a long time seems to be in the garden.
After soaking slightly for about a minute, Li Shun lifted the lid of the teapot and took a look, then lifted the teapot and started pouring tea.
Watching a light green tea pouring into the exquisite porcelain cup from the spout, accompanied by the steaming heat, an instantly thrilling strange fragrance floated and dispersed in the slightly warm wind. With the fragrance of flowers and birds, Antioch couldn't help but shook his Adam's apple.
"Your Majesty, you should taste the tea while it is hot, which will not only refresh your mind, but also make you healthy and long-lasting. Please~"
Li Shun held up the teacup in both hands, sniffed it slightly, then sipped a small sip, and then half-closed his eyes with a comfortable face and began to taste aftertaste.
In the past two years, I have hardly had a good rest in the country. I have no tea to drink on weekdays. The mountains are high and the road is rugged and difficult to walk. There are so many wilderness wolves, insects, tigers and leopards that are rarely visited. It is a blessing to be able to live to rest well. Most of the time, I am happy to have a sip of hot water and cooked food. Therefore, since I left Xianyang, the prosperity and bustle of Xianyang and the endless delicious food that I can’t finish drinking wine and tea have been thrown behind. I can’t think about it, and I feel bad when I think about it.
Today, he was able to sit in the palace of the Rest Empire to accompany their emperors to eat meat, drink, chat and tea. He had just received an invitation from Antioch III to convene ministers to discuss the matter of going to Qin. Then the people who went to the Western countries this time were considered to be completed, and the rest was to return to Qin safely.
Thinking of the first time Chen Xu fooled him on the mission to Yuezhi, Li Shun suddenly realized that perhaps being an envoy was the best way to realize the meaning of his life.
If it weren't for the Qinghe Marquis, he would never have known that this world was so wonderful and vast.
Although there are many dangers and difficulties along the way, there are also various wonderful scenery along the way, including the layers of snow-capped mountains that cannot be looked up to, the thousands of galloping bisons and camels, the ferocious and burly lions, like the legendary peacocks of the magical birds, the Dayuan BMWs on the snow-capped mountain plateau, etc., the exotic style of scene after scene is like flowing clouds and mists accompanied by the curling fragrance of tea swaying past Li Shun's eyes.
Especially the little ladies who came from different styles along the way, either barbaric or docile, shy or eccentric, and had no more than 100 or 80 years of warmth. Those beautiful faces, which were either tender or mature, emerged from their minds like a lantern, and tempting bodies and moans were still echoing in their minds.
“Wow~”
Antioch imitated Li Shun's voice drinking tea and pulled Li Shun back from his imagination. The white little lady in her mind instantly turned into heat in front of her eyes. Only the young and beautiful concubine in a snow-white long skirt sitting on the left of Antioch was holding a teacup, looking at him without blinking.
A pair of big sapphire-like eyes are filled with endless addiction and temptation.
In an instant, Li Shun felt his throat dry, and his heart trembled slightly and quickly put his eyes back and lowered his head to drink tea. He strangled a thought that suddenly rose in his mind and suppressed it with the Liangyi Bagua Formation.
A wife of an emperor who is twenty thousand miles away from Daqin is afraid that even if she can't escape from Daqin, she will be cut into pieces.
It’s not that Li Shun had this deadly idea, but since drinking wine, the woman’s eyes kept seducing him nakedly, as if she was full of various attempts to him.
I don’t know if Emperor Antioch discovered such an abnormal look between his concubine and the envoy of the Qin Dynasty. But if this continues, Li Shun cannot guarantee that he can walk out of the palace alive today. Maybe he will be broken by Antioch and buried under the apple tree in the garden soon.
If this result occurs, I am afraid that the entire mission will be buried in this distant Western country. If you want to wait until the Qin Dynasty comes to avenge yourself, it will probably be the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
"Maybe, I really shouldn't have drunk the Qinghe wine given by the Marquis today, it's unlucky!"
Thinking of Chen Xu's expression full of anticipation and worry when he gave this bottle of wine, and his tone when he said that, Li Shun felt that he had done something wrong at this time, and it seemed that he shouldn't have taken out this bottle of Qinghe wine to show off.
Therefore, after a cup of tea, Li stood up and said goodbye to Antioch III as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and then hurriedly left the palace with a group of mission officials and a few translators as if they were chased by a dog.
And it seemed that he could feel a pair of big eyes as clear as sapphire, falling on him, and he could not get rid of it like a soul possessed.
