Datang Live Room

"Huai Liang, why are you so quiet today? Where are those monkeys?"

After a rare night's sleep, Yan Kai realized that he hadn't heard the noise of the monkeys outside today.

Only Cheng Hualiang was explaining something to the soldiers.

"They..." Cheng Huailiang said with some embarrassment: "They all went out to see Miss Gaochang."

"Huh?" Yan Kai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was normal. These monkeys were also in puberty.

Some people get married early, and they are already married now.

Many of the women in Gaochang City are beauties from the Western Regions with high nose bridges and white skin. Their attraction to these skinny monkeys is self-evident.

"The prince is also here?" Yan Kai asked excitedly.

"Go...gone!" Cheng Huailiang didn't know what Yan Kai was excited about, but he still explained to those monkeys: "Brother Yan, don't worry, they can just watch and won't do anything." Something too outrageous.”

After all, these monkeys are basically engaged.

Moreover, spending so much time with Yan Kai can be regarded as establishing a relatively "correct" outlook on things.

At least it's unlikely that such a thing would happen.

"What are you doing?" Yan Kai asked.

"Arrange the guards in the city."

Cheng Huailiang is now considered a reliable young general.

"Is it done? Let's go take a look too!"

"it is good!"

Li Shimin had promised Princess Qinghe to him, and Li Chengqian was his uncle.

Naturally, he was embarrassed to follow Li Chengqian to see the beautiful woman, but it didn't matter if Yan Kai took him there. His responsibility was to lead the troops to protect Yan Kai, which was justifiable.

Yan Kai promised the netizens in the live broadcast room to take them to see what Xijiang is like at this time.

Is it like the legendary saying that if you take three steps, you will get Naza, and if you take five steps, you will get Reba.

Gaochang looked a little dilapidated after this war.

Fortunately, Yan Kai and the others stopped the Slavic plunder in time, and the damage to the people in the city was not too great. After all, the Slavic people were not stupid, and they knew to rob large families and shops first.

Ordinary people haven't had time to take action yet.

After Qu Yong came to power, he followed the teachings of Yan Kai and others and implemented many policies to stabilize the people. In addition, Gaochang was originally located in the throat of the trade route.

After the war, those businessmen came again.

So although it is a bit dilapidated, it can be seen that it is recovering quickly.

At least some shops in the city have reopened.

"Bang!" A person bumped into Cheng Hualiang, and then the box in his hand fell to the ground.

"Ah!" The person who hit him was a woman, and now Cheng Huailiang was the same as the iron tower.

Cheng Huailiang didn't move at all when she bumped into him, but she herself fell flat on her butt.

From inside the box, butterfly wings were scattered all over the floor.

The Western Region is inherently windy, and those butterflies fly everywhere when their wings are blown by the wind.

"My..." With tears in her eyes, the woman sat on the ground helplessly watching the butterfly wings being blown away by the wind.

Cheng Huailiang stretched out his hand to grab a piece, but it was broken due to excessive force. He stretched out his hand in front of her in embarrassment.

"Um...there's another one here, do you want it more?"

The woman from the Western Region shook her head and got up from the ground with tears in her eyes: "I didn't look at the road..." She couldn't go on at this point.

Cheng Huailiang was most afraid of women crying and seemed a little at a loss.

"What are your butterfly wings used for?" Yan Kai asked curiously. Is there someone so strange that he collects such things?

"I... use this for painting at home. I plan to sell it to the people from the Tang Dynasty who came this time..." At this point, the woman from the Western Region realized that the two people in front of her seemed to be the people from the Tang Dynasty who came this time.

Because if they were merchants, they would be able to tell the difference between He Yankai and the others at a glance.

Especially Yan Kai, who has obviously not experienced any hardships and looks fair and clean. Businessmen who have been traveling to the Western Regions for a long time are not like this.

"Painting with butterfly wings?" Yan Kai became interested: "Can you let me have a look?"

According to legend, the painting of butterfly wings was created by Li Yuanying, King Teng of the Tang Dynasty. The painting materials were taken from butterfly wings and cut and pasted entirely by hand.

This technique was only passed down in the palace at first, and was later spread to the people by Liang Taiwei, the shogunate of Prince Teng.

Li Yuanying is Li Yuan's 22nd son, who was just born this year.

Unexpectedly, someone has already done this in Gaochang.

"Okay!" The woman nodded: "We just plan to sell it to you for a good price!"

Yan Kai was speechless. Your words sounded like you were planning to kill us.

But is it really okay to just say that in front of me?

The two men followed the woman to a store in front.

Cheng Huailiang asked casually: "What's your name? Tang Dynasty Mandarin is quite good!"

"My name is Marco. Because my family has to do business with the Tang Dynasty, we have learned it."

At this time, Gaochang was once ruled by four families, from the earliest Kan family to the Zhang family, Ma family and now the Qu family.

So it's not surprising that her surname is Ma. She probably does have blood from the Gaochang royal family in the past.

A few people chatted for a while and then entered the shop.

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Kai was attracted by a picture of a peacock.

Because the peacock's feathers look just like real ones.

Looking closer, the entire peacock's feathers are actually made up of butterfly wings.

"At first I thought the peacock was made of real peacock feathers. I thought there was something strange about it, but it turned out I was careless."

"I have trypophobia, but these densely packed butterfly wings don't make me feel like my hair is standing on end. I just feel that the combination of these butterfly wings has a special sense of beauty."

"It's a bunker. I just clicked on the counting system in the live broadcast room, which is the one where the system can help you count. I found out that this peacock picture uses more than 3,000 butterfly wings!"

Everyone knows that peacock feathers have a special luster, and the most amazing thing is that this collage of butterfly wings actually has that luster.

At this time, the morning sunlight just shined through the door, making it look particularly gorgeous.

"Thanks to our anchor, to be honest, I used to think that there were only raisins in Western Xinjiang. Later they said that the Central Plains Emperors conquered Western Xinjiang not only because of the raisins, but also because of the beauties here. Now after following the anchor, I know that there are such good things. !”

"How about it?" Marco pointed to the peacock picture on the wall with some pride and said, "This is the treasure of our family. Do you want to buy it? If you want to buy it, I will give you a price."

Yan Kai was dumbfounded: "If I want to buy it, shouldn't you say it's cheaper for me?"

Do you look like someone who could easily be ripped off?

"Of course not!" Marco said: "You Tang people all say that a sword sells a hero! This peacock picture has to go through multiple processes such as softening, spreading wings, moth-proofing, anti-corrosion, and drying."

"It took several workers in our shop more than half a year to make it. If you know the goods well, of course I have to sell it more expensively to show the value of this butterfly painting!"

These words made Yan Kai feel that there was some truth in it, and he didn't know how to refute it.

"Then tell me, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

"Two...three pieces of money!"

Gaochang also used the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty. Because the coinage technology of the Tang Dynasty was mature and money was enough, it was also hard currency here.

Yan Kai thought she was going to bid for a certain amount, but unexpectedly she bid for three dollars.

Three Guan money is not a small amount for ordinary people.

This year, the food harvest was somewhat poor due to the locust plague, and a bushel of rice only sold for more than thirty or forty cash.

If there is a good year, a bucket of rice will cost more than ten or twenty coins.

But for such a complicated handicraft, it's really not expensive.

Yan Kai simply said: "This is not the only butterfly painting in your family, right? Take it out and look at it all, I will sell them all for you!"

"You sold it for me? To whom?" Ma Keer was a little confused.

"Of course someone will buy it!"

Who else can it be sold to? Many people in my live broadcast room are already clamoring to get on the yellow car.
