Chapter 1021 Lovers' Vessels

Then, the Mongolian man said honestly and honestly: "Your Majesty, I brought a lot of special products from our tribe when I came here this time. There are Balin stones, gilded wooden bowls, wool carpets, and our Mongolian delicacies."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a Mongolian woman pouring kumiss on the tray.

And in that tray, there are milk tofu and air-dried beef.

When they offer it, the eunuchs in the palace will conduct poison testing procedures.

While the servants were testing the poison, someone spread out a large rectangular carpet.

After the carpet was spread out, it almost completely covered the center of the hall.

The carpet is based on white, with blue, camel and red dragon and phoenix and cloud patterns on it.

And the Mongolian man proudly introduced: "This is a hand-woven carpet made of high-quality local sheep wool by our tribe. This time, I came to the capital and specially transported six carts, dedicated to the emperor. Royal carpet."

Fourth Master's gaze fell on the finely crafted carpet.

He nodded slightly, and gave a faint "hmm" with admiration in his eyes.

Fourth master is a boring gourd. At this time, Ruoyin held his lips and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the people in your tribe are ingenious. The carpets they make are fine, soft to the touch, strong in elasticity, and durable. They are sold at I went abroad. I saw this colorful pattern today, the luster is natural, especially the golden dragon pattern, which looks luxurious and exquisite."

"It's as long as the empress and the emperor are satisfied." The Mongolian man had a happy face, then scratched his head embarrassingly, and said: "By the way, I have two sets of gold-plated wooden bowls to present to the emperor when I come here this time." With the empress."

He pointed to the two sets of gold-plated wooden bowls held by the accompanying servants, and said: "This bowl is made of dried tung trees. It is boiled, rested and shaped, then gilded with a layer of gold, engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns. And it is in full bloom. The water does not break, the floor does not break, the hands are not hot or cold, it can be passed down from generation to generation, and the original taste of the food can be completely maintained."

Hearing this, Ruoyin and fourth master looked at the gold-plated vessels one after another.

Fourth master had already heard about Mongolian wooden bowls.

It was the first time Ke Ruoyin heard of a bowl made of this material.

As for the rice bowl made of porcelain, it looks good, but it is hot and easy to break.

The royal family has always paid attention to rules and superstition.

Especially on important days, if the bowl is broken, it is really unlucky.

Even the rice bowls made of gold and silver that Fourth Master used to use, although expensive, also have the problem of being hot to the touch.

But this gilt wooden bowl is not only drop-proof and not hot, but its appearance is as luxurious as that made of gold.

Listening to what the Mongolian man said, it is passed down from generation to generation, isn't it just for a lifetime?

Just when Ruoyin was curious, the Mongolian man said again: "There is a saying in our tribe that each of us only chooses one set of gold-plated wooden bowls for a lifetime, and when each wooden bowl is chosen by the owner, it is signed. The lifelong contract must accompany the owner to complete this life. Therefore, I ordered the craftsmen to create two unique sets of gold-plated wooden bowls where the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious. Here, I wish the emperor and the empress a thousand years of Zhilanmao, and a hundred years of music and music."

As soon as the voice fell, Fourth Master said heartily and authentically: "Okay, very good!"

Ruoyin thought that fourth master would be the same as before, calmly.

After all, the Mongolian carpet is a cultural product of the tribe, which can drive the local economic development and even export trade.

And this gold-plated wooden bowl is a custom of their tribe, and it is generally not sold outside.

Who knew that fourth master's reaction was beyond her imagination.

Ruoyin turned his head slightly and glanced at fourth master.

As a result, fourth master just happened to look at her.

When the two looked at each other, fourth master's eyes were open, but also emotional.

Facing such hot eyes, Ruoyin smiled slightly, showing a little shyness.

Then, she withdrew her gaze.

Anyway, there are still so many people down here, it's not easy for her to make eye contact here.

Just thinking about it in my heart, it seems that fourth master is very satisfied with this set of couple utensils.

At this moment, William's thick eyebrows frowned slightly.

Although he can understand most Chinese, he can also speak fluent Chinese.

But the kind of "zhilanmao for thousands of years, Qin Sele for a hundred years" is still somewhat difficult for a European like him.

After thinking about it, he still didn't understand what it meant.

Who made the writing of the Qing Dynasty extensive and profound?

But he wasn't blind, he saw fourth master's satisfied expression.

And Ruoyin had a shy look on his face, so he knew the general meaning.

So he turned his head and asked an official from the Qing Dynasty who was sitting at the next table.

"What is Zhilanmao for thousands of years, Qinsele for a hundred years. Or, what does Zhilanmao for thousands of years, Qinsele for a hundred years mean?"

The officials on the side glanced at William.

Seeing that he is a foreigner, and upholding the traditional virtues of friendship in the Qing Dynasty, he replied politely: "Zhi" means "zhi", and "zhilan" means Zhi and orchid, both of which are vanilla. It is usually used to describe the nobility of virtue or friendship , feelings, the beauty of the environment, etc. The qin and the harp are both made of sycamore wood, with a hollow cavity and silk ropes as strings. The two instruments play together, and the sound is harmonious, which is used as a metaphor for harmonious feelings.”

Speaking of this, the official looked at William, thinking that he should understand the meaning.

However, William was still a black man and asked, "So, do plants and musical instruments have any direct relationship with your emperor and queen?"

"Naturally it has something to do with it." Seeing that he still didn't understand, the official had no choice but to explain seriously: "Zhilan has flourished for thousands of years, and qin and se music has lasted for a hundred years. It means more than a hundred years. It means that the descendants of the emperor and empress will continue, and outstanding talents will emerge in large numbers. The husband and wife are loving and harmonious, and they will grow old together."

At this moment, William finally understood, turned his head unhappily, and ignored the official who was explaining to him.

The official was beeping in bewilderment.

Xin said that she kindly explained it to him, but he actually gave him a face.

If I had known that he was so ignorant of etiquette, I wouldn't have told him!

At this moment, the Mongolian man in the center of the hall said a few more auspicious words.

The fourth master reciprocated courtesy, and also rewarded the Mongolian man with some things.

When the Mongolian man returned to the table and sat down, a man wrapped in a colorful turban walked to the center of the hall.

His turban was intricately embroidered with gold thread.

Not only that, but the clothes on his body were also embroidered with various golden patterns.

And his lower body was wrapped in a long brown striped brocade... a dress similar to a skirt.

After saluting to Ruoyin and the fourth master, he said, "Your Majesty, this time I didn't come alone, but brought our eldest princess of Yu Nanguo with me. Moreover, the eldest princess also lined up our Yu Nanguo Folk dance, I want to dedicate it to the emperor."

It was the king of Yu Nanguo who said this.
