In the teahouse, the people who had just sat down sat in a group, sipping boldly at the unlimited refills of tea that only cost three pennies, and couldn't help but talk about the change in the weather.
It seems that God refuses to give them food. They were supposed to prepare for the winter, but such a strange appearance has made them unable to even sell the furs they worked so hard to get.
That magnificent building, with even the red bricks and tiles shining in the sun, is almost unknown to everyone in the main city of the Huns. It’s just that there is no reason to go there, and no one wants to go.
.
As I took a closer look, it became even more beautiful due to its huge area.
The majestic facade that appears from a distance relies entirely on the two tall and majestic stone lion statues at the door.
It is said that they were transported from the Central Plains, and it is not known why they emerged here. It is really an unsolved mystery.
Of course, if you take a closer look, you will find that there are not only obvious damages on its good corners, but also scratches. It is obvious that it has been severely chiseled, and more than once.
And underneath that, there is a pool of water stains. Although it has dried up on the bluestone floor, it still exudes an indescribable smell...
However, whether it is the feeling of wealth and splendor it presents, or the fact that it has stood here for five or six years, it is difficult to imagine that this is just a hotel that provides a place for travelers to rest.
A middle-aged man who had been standing blankly at the door for a long time, looking up at the tall door plaque and secretly clicking his tongue for a while, was finally touched by a young man with a slightly displeased look in his eyes.
He was awakened by a knock, and he quickly pretended to cough a few times to regain his composure, and strode into the inn.
Entering inside, I found that the number of people in this hotel was not as much as expected. With such a large area and people wandering around in twos and threes, it can be described as empty.
It was probably rare for people to come here. As soon as the two of them stepped into the courtyard, the guests who were about to go out or return to their rooms looked at them one after another. Seeing their rich but ordinary clothes, they silently regarded them as ordinary people and browsed them.
merchants, almost no one pays attention to them anymore.
However, the middle-aged man walking in front saw with sharp eyes the row of knights wearing silver armor and armor standing under the sun. The unsheathed swords did not frighten people.
Those pairs of exposed eyes can make people stand on their backs.
And their owner is exactly the purpose of this middle-aged man's trip.
"May I ask, is the Princess Sisikli posted on the notice located here?" It took a long time before she could pronounce the laborious words.
The middle-aged man took a step forward and raised a polite smile, asking the leading knight.
But when he said it, it was like falling into the ocean. It seemed that the knight, who could see the serious look even though his face was mostly blocked by the armor, didn't understand him. He just glanced at him lightly and still stuck to his words.
At his post, the middle-aged man couldn't help but speak again.
This time, the other party didn't even respond with a look. After confirming that he had ignored him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be startled. Although it didn't show on his face, he was inevitably a little embarrassed in his heart.
"Are you here to see the princess?" At this moment, two graceful women in white came with slight steps.
Even though they all asked in strange tones, they still solved the problem for themselves.
However, the middle-aged man did not show too much emotion. He nodded calmly and, under the leadership of the women who looked at each other, calmly walked into a more gorgeous place.
I could see this gorgeous hall, even though it was still daytime, it was still illuminated by hundreds of candles.
Of course, in such a wide room, those dark places do need lighting, but such extravagance and waste are too much... The middle-aged man even worried about whether it would cause a fire, and saw through his thoughts from the sidelines.
The thinking man frowned and withdrew his gaze under the silent suggestion. He no longer showed his head and head like when he first entered here, and followed the young man's gaze to the most attractive place.
It's a pity that it was completely covered by a bright yellow gauze curtain, and even the specific layout could not be seen. Only a vague figure could be seen, sitting calmly.
"Who is down there?" The figure inside did not speak, but the maidservant who came out from the side asked after whispering for a while with the two women who received them.
When I saw the maidservant who made the noise, although she might just be a maidservant, the agility in her eyebrows was extraordinary, and it was beyond the comparison of ordinary servants. Just by standing there, she had an orchid-like temperament.
It was so unique, coupled with the unprecedented foreign service, that the two people below, who were also somewhat knowledgeable, were stunned.
"Ahem..." After a long time, he seemed to have remembered what he was here for. The middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes took a step forward with a look of embarrassment on his face.
After a general etiquette, he said: "The noble princess of Sisikli Kingdom, I am a merchant who traveled here from the area outside the Great Wall. On weekdays, I do small business in jewelry, which can be considered profitable. I heard
What happened here two days ago made me come here specially. I wonder if I made it to the point, and whether I was lucky enough to meet the princess?"
As he said that, the middle-aged man looked expectantly behind the curtain. Unfortunately, the princess behind the curtain did not give him the slightest response. Instead, the maid standing there looked at him from head to toe. It seemed that
I want to use this to judge whether he is sincere.
Of course, she did not forget who her master was. After looking at the princess behind the curtain, the maid turned around and nodded: "Okay."
I got it. I don’t know whether it’s because his strength was affirmed, or because he was about to meet the legendary princess, but there was some excitement on the middle-aged man’s average face.
The men exchanged glances.
Therefore, women in our country have always covered their faces with veils and stayed behind closed doors after they got their hair. But our noble princess cannot allow such a big risk... If there is anything wrong, I hope the merchants will forgive me."
Is there such a rule in this world? Looking at the serious maid in front of him, the middle-aged man's eyes inevitably flashed with surprise. But for a businessman who just came here to visit, there is really no such thing.
It was necessary to break the casserole and ask the truth. Even if the other party said so, he could only do this.
After nodding hastily, the middle-aged man smiled heartily and said that there was no problem. He stopped and stood on the spot and told the princess behind the gauze tent that he had brought some jewelry here today.
Princess, let’s see if there’s anything suitable or interesting. (To be continued)
