As for the Yang family's full moon banquet, the most surprising thing was that people from the palace actually sent congratulatory gifts.
If a little military commander has a daughter, no matter how graceful the royal family is, they will not pay attention to it.
No matter how everyone speculates, Yang Mansion’s third banquet was indeed a sight to behold.
Mrs. Yang's worried character also regarded the emperor's favor this time as a light given to Bai Ling. Even if she had any plans in her heart, they were completely extinguished.
"Forget it, as long as the Yang family can be well and the children can grow up safely, I will be worthy of the ancestors of the Yang family." Mrs. Yang sighed.
Western Han Dynasty.
After the Queen Mother took the prescription, her vitality and spirit improved significantly.
The emperor was overjoyed and ordered people to send rewards to Bai Ling and his wife.
Although these black pearls were bought by the royal family with money, if the couple had not had such a large quantity and excellent quality, the Queen Mother's illness would have been delayed.
"Ninth brother, have you inquired carefully about this young master of the Duan family?" The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty summoned the ninth prince into the palace and waved away his servants to ask.
"I'm a businessman. Why did I spy on him? Isn't there a customs clearance document?" The Ninth Prince's tone was not very good.
The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty glared at the Ninth Prince, but he had no intention of punishing him.
Obviously, the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty had long been accustomed to the Nine Princes' attitude.
"Customs clearance documents can be forged, especially those with high positions, or those with money and eyes, what can they not do?" After the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty finished speaking, he snorted: "I have received news that the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty sent
The eldest son and concubine of the Han Dynasty came to the Western Han Dynasty to find Mr. Shang."
The Ninth Prince frowned, glanced at the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty angrily, and said indifferently: "If the emperor is afraid, just let him go. I don't think that the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty will send someone here, and he will also send a woman, and he is not afraid either."
Cause trouble."
"If it is an ordinary woman, it is naturally impossible. You have been at the border for a long time and are not well-informed. You don't know the origin of this princess. But have you heard of Princess Jixiang? She is the apprentice of Mr. Shang. She is better than her master.
blue."
The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty sounded somewhat appreciative.
"It's a pity that she's not a woman from my Western Han Dynasty, otherwise I wouldn't need to invite Mr. Shang to be my guest."
"Brother, are you talking about Princess Jixiang who produced two crops and invented suturing?" the Ninth Prince asked with some interest.
"Exactly." The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty nodded and said seriously: "There have been many martial arts masters in Kyoto recently, and they must be related to this one."
"How can the emperor be sure that Princess Jixiang is the disciple of Mr. Shang? There seems to be no rumor among the public." Apart from being interested in military affairs, the Ninth Prince paid little attention to other things.
"This matter is a top secret. But if the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty knows something, I naturally have channels to know it." The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty said proudly.
The Ninth Prince did not ask any further questions. The royal families of various countries would try their best to lay foundations in other countries. This was an eternal rule.
Especially since the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty were from the same ancestry, the stakes were buried deeper.
"What does the emperor want my brother to do?" Ninth Prince asked.
"I want you..." The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty waved his hand, motioned the Ninth Prince to come forward, and whispered a few words.
The Ninth Prince nodded expressionlessly, turned and left.
Bai Ling and his wife in the inn did not know that the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was doubting their identity.
The two of them dressed up deliberately today. They were very gorgeous and their merchant backgrounds could be seen at a glance. There were so many gold, silver and jewelry that it was dazzling.
"Why do I feel like I'm a walking clam shell?" Bai Ling touched the pearl necklace that had been wrapped around his neck several times, pouted speechlessly, and resisted the urge to take it off.
Since the trade was between two countries, it was natural that the items that were scarce in the Western Han Dynasty would be the main focus.
In addition to large quantities of pearls, this transaction also includes various pearl ornaments, but they are all popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so they are considered as tail goods.
"In this world, except for Ling'er, no one can dress like this, which does not appear vulgar, but adds nobility." Playing with the pearl necklace around Bai Ling's neck, Shangguan Yu lowered his head, and the hair on his head
The crown made a clanging sound.
No way, this hair crown was specially found by Bai Ling from space, and it was covered with pearls.
"Pfft." Bai Ling couldn't help laughing, and flicked Shangguan Yu's hair crown with his finger, "I have heard that the young master is like jade. This young master is like pearl. I guess it became a trend in the Western Han Dynasty."
Yes, in the Western Han Dynasty, jade was also a valuable thing.
But the young masters of wealthy families have to inlaid a pearl on a good jade stone to show their noble status.
Pearl bracelets are not only worn by women, but also by men.
Even men and women must hang a string of pearls on the sachet around their waist.
There is only a big difference in quality, and there are also opinions on color. Regardless of status, everyone is qualified to wear colored pearls as pendants.
"When I return to the Eastern Han Dynasty, I will definitely remove the pearls from this hair crown and take Ling'er to hunt birds." Shangguan Yu grinded his teeth and said, not liking this feminine dress.
Yes, in Shangguan Yu's view, pearls are exclusive to women.
"Don't worry, this is just a regional cultural difference. If you don't like it, we can sell it at a high price. Using pearls to kill birds, what's the difference between that and throwing away silver?"
As a money fan, Bai Ling immediately retorted and directly took Shangguan Yu's hand without giving him a chance to speak again.
"If your husband doesn't like it, how about I make sure not to put a single pearl in my wife's jewelry box from now on?"
"Madam, your beautiful face will look good with any jewelry. You don't have to worry about your husband's feelings." Shangguan Yu put all the unpleasantness behind him because of Bai Ling's deliberate words to please her.
As Bai Ling said, although this hair crown will not be used again, if it is sold, it can feed several ordinary families, so how can it be wasted?
The couple didn't care about other people's eyes and got into the carriage holding hands.
The place we agreed to discuss business was not at an inn, but at a restaurant two streets away.
Nian Xia and Jian Qiu each held three brocade boxes, which contained pearl samples, white and colored samples, divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.
This is a prosperous area, the roads are wide and flat, and the carriages don't go very fast, so naturally they won't be bumpy.
"When we have a son, we will start practicing martial arts when he can walk. When he reaches adulthood, we will hand over the Han Dynasty Palace to him, and my wife and I will go to various places to do business and see the scenery. How about it?" See Bai Ling.
Lifting up the car curtain, Shangguan Yu suddenly had such an idea.
"I mourn for the son I have never met." After Bai Ling finished speaking, he frowned and asked: "How are you sure that we will have a son, not a daughter?"
"As for a daughter, we will take her to travel around the world. I can't bear to let a daughter who looks like you go to the border and suffer hardships. As a man, you should stand upright and go to the battlefield to defend your family and the country..."
Shangguan Yu fell into silence before he finished speaking.
Defending the family and the country, these four words are the family motto of the Han Dynasty.
But now, Shangguan Yu deeply doubted whether the Han Palace was right or wrong in adhering to this creed.
It is true that the Han Palace had no intention of rebellion, and even tolerated the persecution of the royal family.
But in the end, what did you get?
Knowing that Shangguan Yu was thinking of something unpleasant, Bai Ling held his hand instead, intending to say a few words of comfort.
But before Bai Ling could speak, a sharp arrow penetrated the car curtain and headed towards the two of them.
Shangguan Yu suddenly turned over and protected Bai Ling under him, but his arm was cut by a sharp arrow.
"Shangguan!" Bai Ling exclaimed, but Shangguan Yu covered his mouth and only made a muffled sound. (To be continued)
