Chapter 119 Concubine?
Chapter 119 Concubine?
As the saying goes, too much oil is not bad for dishes, and too many people are not to blame.
Even though Yan and Usman didn't get the wedding invitation from the old city lord, they were courteous and considerate. First, they had some courtesy with the steward, and then gave the steward a separate gift. Barnick.After all, the city lord is old, so he is in charge of welcoming guests and sending them off.
Barnick has a strong body, which has completely inherited his old father's physique. He was amazed when he saw Yan, and said that all these big businessmen are all businessmen, or like to talk, or like to drink and gamble. You Yan, with the demeanor of a noble son of aristocratic family, doesn't look like a wandering businessman, but looks like an envoy sent by the Great Yan Kingdom.
He also said that if he hadn't seen such a beautiful wife by his side, he would definitely not trust Yan, because Yan was so young, it was really shocking to go all the way from Dayan to Xiliang to do business. Unbelievable.
But seeing that he married a Xiliang woman and spoke Xiliang official dialect so fluently, he understood that he came here sincerely to do business, so we exchanged cups with him and chatted for a while.
This Barnik can speak Xiliang official dialect, but he speaks the local language of Moaro City. His accent is heavy with many slang words, and Yan half can't understand. He does translation.
Yan found that Barnik seemed to have a great affection for Usman, his old but deep eyes never left Usman, and he said a lot to Usman with a smile.Usman nodded at him, and then smiled charmingly at Yan who was sitting beside him.
The two of them sat together on a gorgeous brocade couch, and Barnick sat opposite, separated by a carved mahogany wine table.
"What did he say to you?" Yan was secretly unhappy, "Why didn't he even look at me? He just asked you."
"Yanyan, don't be angry when you say it. He has been praising me for being beautiful and a great beauty. He also asked if I was born with this silver hair? But it is very rare, and he also praised that my eyes are as beautiful as lakes. Ask Where is my hometown? How did I marry you, a foreigner? Do you have any children?"
"Is this old bastard interested in you?" Yan's knuckles were clenched.
"After all, my beauty is there, even a man would be tempted."
"I'm tempted, he didn't see me here!" Yan was extremely upset, "No matter how open the folk customs in Xiliang are, you can't openly flirt with other people's wives, right?"
"Yanyan, are you jealous?" Usman stroked Yan's hand tightly holding the wine glass.
"Who is jealous!" Yan frowned, and said firmly, "No."
Barnick was still talking enthusiastically, Usman smiled after listening.
"What are you laughing at?" Yan asked with raised eyebrows.
"He said, although we don't have any children yet, I'm a strong-boned girl, and I'm a good-natured girl. He said that you married me, and you really were blessed by the goddess. If only he was as lucky as you."
"Heh." A vein protruded from the back of Yan's hand.
"Calm down." Usman patted Yan's hand lightly.
"Lord Barnik, it's not too early now, can I ask the old city lord to come out and meet?" Yan suddenly smiled at Barnik, and then let go of the wine glass he had been holding tightly.The cup is made of gold-clad copper, the outside is golden and the inside is very strong, even if the guests are drunk and spoiled, this wine cup will not be broken.
But when Yan let go of his fingers, two finger marks were deeply embedded in the wine glass, engraving his displeasure on it.
Barnik looked at the wine glass and was stunned. What kind of strange power is this?Moreover, Yan didn't seem to be particularly exerting himself, and he was still drinking with a slight smile, which is surprising!
"It's a powerful character..." Barnik is not an idiot either, knowing that the other party is strong in martial arts, he is not easy to provoke, so he pretended to be a fool and stood up with a smile: "Look at me, I hit it off with you, and chatted so much that I almost forgot about the business. Sit down for a while, and I will invite my father to come."
Then Barnick walked off with oil on his feet.
"You're still the best." Usman smiled, and lightly bumped Chuangyan with his shoulder.
"Hmph." Yan said angrily, "If he doesn't leave, I'll poke his dog's eyes blind. What a pervert!"
Albenny, the old city lord, walked into the living room surrounded by a group of beautiful maids, leaning on a pure gold eagle-headed cane. Although he was a white-haired man, he looked younger than Barnick, and his voice was bright. It is old and strong.
Before Barnik introduced Yan's identity to his father, the old city lord started chatting on his own. He said that he heard that there was a guest from Dayan Kingdom, so he rushed to meet him.
He took Yan's hand, looked him up and down, and said: "It really is a hero born a boy, my honored guest, you are so young
It is worth admiring to come to Xiliang!I think a poor old man like me once went to Dayan once when he was young. "
Then, the old city lord talked endlessly about his visit to Dayan country when he was a teenager, saying that the mountains and waters of Dayan were really as beautiful as the fairyland.
Seeing Yan now reminds him of the beautiful young man he met in Dayan back then, but it was a pity that the young man's parents did not allow him to marry someone from Xiliang, so the two had to separate.Seeing the old man talking about the "beautiful relationship" back then, Yan couldn't interrupt.
Then the conversation turned around, the old city lord looked at Yan with a red face and said: "Young man, you came to me to continue that frontier."
"Front edge?" The old city lord spoke Xiliang official dialect, which Yan could understand.
"To tell you the truth, I have 27 daughters," the old city lord cheerfully gestured, "No. 17 girl is about the same age as you, and she looks right..."
"Daughter?" A layer of cold sweat broke out on Yan's back. Judging from the previous reason, he thought that the old man wanted to continue his marriage with him.
"Yes, I have long wanted a son-in-law of Dayan."
"My lord, thank you for your love. Your daughter must be one of the best girls in ten thousand, but I'm already married..."
"I can see such a beautiful woman here. Young man, you have a good eye," the old city lord said with a smile, "Your daughter-in-law has mesmerized my picky-eyed son. You just told me in the backyard how beautiful your wife is."
Yan thought to himself, as expected, he should poke his eyes blind.
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you." The old city lord shook his thick white beard and said, "My daughter will be a concubine. For a girl's family, finding a good husband is much more important than that."
This statement is quite new, the city lord's daughter would rather be a concubine than a regular wife, Yan was a little stunned and at a loss for words.
The old city lord only thought that Yan's heart was moved, so he said: "Don't worry, even if you are a concubine, you will have no less dowry. If you want to do business here, I will directly pave the way for you. How much do you want?" It’s all right, so you don’t have to be so tired from running around, and I will love you like my own son.”
"No, it's not about the dowry and the bed..." Yan got up from the upholstered chair, he was here to talk about business, how did he become a concubine?
Usman also stood up, and lightly tugged Chao Yan's arm, as if he had something to say to him.
"Why... eh?!" Yancai turned to look at Usman, and his chin was caught and lifted. Usman's kiss was completely unreasonable.
"Where is this place? What are you doing?!" Yan conveyed his inner thoughts with his staring eyes, but Usman simply closed his eyes, and his left hand still held Yan's waist tightly, and they kissed together earnestly.
Yan pushed Usman's shoulders with both hands, trying to separate each other, but when it came to kissing, Usman had always been in control, like a huge wave on the coast, which could wash away the seemingly solid sand embankment. There is no residue left.
The defense Yan built up was like a sand embankment, unable to withstand Usman's relentless kiss, and was relieved of his strength to resist after two or three strokes.
When Usman let go of Yan's extremely rosy lips after being kissed, Yan couldn't even stand still. Usman hugged his waist tightly and said with a smile: "This is my man, how can he be with others?" Sharing? I hope the old city master will be more fair."
Probably, I have never seen such a domineering lady. No matter how open the Xiliang folk customs are, there is no wife who kisses her husband so passionately in front of everyone.
Barnick was pouring wine for his old father, but at this time the wine in the wine cup overflowed the table, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly ordered the servants to clean it up.
"This, this..." The old city lord was also quite surprised, and then he looked at this outstanding and imposing wife, and then at this talented husband who was guarding his wife. Cannot be dismantled.
He finally bowed down and said, "I'm so old! It's better for you young people, okay! Just because you love your husband so much, I don't want him to marry my daughter as a concubine."
"Thank you, sir." Usman smiled brightly, and sat down with his arms around Yan's waist.
"You bastard!" Yan was still blushing and out of breath. He had never been so disrespectful in front of outsiders. Covered by gauze, Yan ruthlessly pinched Usman's waist.
Usman didn't dare to say anything, and accepted it honestly.
Then, Yan calmed down his disturbed mind, and after a polite conversation with the old city owner, he talked about purchasing matters, such as they needed to buy chariots, camels, grain, etc. in the city, and also said that they wanted to buy the city's special product, charred linen.
The old city lord repeatedly praised him for his good eyesight, saying that although the scorched linen is an antique and not as popular as the white linen that is fashionable now, it is really the best breathable fabric, and it is excellent whether it is made of winter clothes or summer clothes.
"I heard that this scorched linen cloth has been around since Yancheng? It really has a long history." Yan raised the topic and explored the way to Yancheng.
It's a pity that the old city owner didn't know much about Yancheng, after all, it was a long time ago, when Yan asked if he had been there, the old city owner was honest and said that he had never set foot there.
Not to mention going, he didn't even know where he was in Yancheng, only a general direction.
"According to the records in the ancient books, it seems that after leaving the city, go to the northwest. There is a winding road leading to Yancheng between the two mother and son salt mountains. That is to say, no one has ever found it. The road on this mountain road It is rugged and difficult to walk, and it turns like a maze."
The old city lord also told Yan that the locals would say a proverb, "You can only find peace if you don't see Yancheng", so no one deliberately looked for it.
"What else is there?" Yan asked curiously, "What does this mean?"
"It probably means that Yancheng has come out, and disaster is about to come." Barnik, the son of the old city lord, explained with a smile, "But it's all to scare the children, so they don't run too far, and they will be in trouble if they enter the ancient city soon." I can't get out."
"That's right." Yan nodded.
"As for the price..." Compared to Yancheng, Barnick was more interested in money.
"The price is easy to talk about." Yan smiled, "Buying and selling should always pay attention to the word 'combined', everyone is profitable, and only then can there be long-term business."
"Well said, after all, he is a businessman from Dayan, unlike those rough people outside, who only know how to compete with each other." Barnick laughed.It is true that this is just putting a high hat on Yan, and the profitable people and things in the business field are all praises.
In any case, this matter is over. With the permission of the old city lord, they can freely purchase and trade here.
This included building up another expedition team.
Seeing that the job was done, Yan got up to say goodbye.The old town lord liked them very much, and asked Barnick to send them to the car all the way.
When he arrived in the carriage, Yan still had a kind smile on his face, but as soon as Barnick left and the door was closed, Yan's smile disappeared like a light blowing out.
