Chapter 929

Now is not an ancient matriarchal society. The status of women in most countries is very low. Although some relatively enlightened countries do not discriminate against women, there are really few countries in the world that allow women to be officials.

The social status of women in Rome is not good or bad. The general social environment does not discriminate against women too much, but many jobs restrict women's participation. For example, women can't be officials.

Helena doesn't know the bottom of Roman society. What she knows is that no woman has become an official in Rome. Women have always been attached to men. If the attached men are willing to listen, they can have the right to speak.

Women in sassanne are worse than those in Rome. Especially in recent decades, Persians have repeatedly carried out reforms, not political changes or reforms, but repeatedly suppressed women's social status. Persian women with no social status are already falling into the abyss of pets or livestock.

There are at least female leaders and queens in some countries. As the two great empires of self described civilization in the world, Rome and sassanne are inferior to some tribes in treating women. Then it's no surprise that those princesses, including Helena, are surprised to see female senior officials in the Han Empire.

"May I ask..." Nicar is very young. She is only 15 years old this year. However, according to the social customs of the Han family or Persia, 15 is the age to get married. She asked cautiously, "how old are you?"

Nicar asked the questions that everyone wanted to ask, but she welcomed Ye Na's warning.

Zhuo Xiang looked back at Nicar. She was not as angry or anything as the princesses thought. She smiled and replied, "I have two official positions. One is da Changqiu, and the other is Diao Chan."

Da Changqiu is the head of the official used by the queen, so she also holds the official post of Diao Chan.

Diao Chan is not the Diao Chan of the four beauties. In fact, she is an official responsible for managing hats and clothes in the palace. So the name of the beautiful woman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not "Diao Chan", her real name was Ren Hongchang.

"Da Changqiu?" Helena understood Chinese and specialized in the official positions of the Han Empire. She immediately looked at Zhuo Xiang with new eyes. She lowered her voice and said to Helena, "she is the spokesman of the queen. We need to please her."

As for what Diao cicada is, Helena can't understand it at all.

Yena and nikar also made a decision in an instant. Even if they couldn't please Zhuo Xiang, they couldn't have a bad relationship with it.

The other princesses who didn't understand Chinese, in addition to being confused, repeatedly decided to learn Chinese well.

Dachangqiu was an official post in the Western Han Dynasty, which was generally held by eunuchs.

However, Liu Yan has decided not to choose eunuchs, and there is nothing wrong with Zhuo Xiang as Da Changqiu.

From entering the palace city to coming to the rear palace, it took them nearly an hour just to walk. After the clock rang, it took them about half an hour to come to the Jiaofang hall.

Jiaofang hall is also a continuation of the palace name of the Western Han Dynasty, and its function has not changed. It is a place for the queen to live.

"It took us so long just to travel. We can imagine how big the palace city of the Han Empire is!" Ye Na compared it. Even if she didn't visit the palace city, she came to the conclusion that the palace city of the Han Empire definitely has more than five areas of Sasan Palace City: "if we were selected, we would live here."

Nicole walked all the way to see too many magnificent buildings, and also read those forest gardens and other landscapes. She said longingly, "the environment here is far more magnificent than I thought."

Every girl will imagine her married life when she gets married.

For today's women, it is never up to them to choose who to marry. They will build a favorite man in their imagination, and then think about what kind of environment the man will live in and who will be in the family.

Liu Yanda reached all the imaginations of these princesses about men, even far beyond their expectations.

They had imagined their living place in a better direction before, but they went there in person to understand how lacking their imagination is.

When they entered the Jiaofang hall, the main hall was traditionally made of multiple wooden structures, and they could hardly see any bricks, stones and soil. Under the guidance of Zhuo Xiang, they walked into the channel of the side hall.

They just turned a corner, but they were surprised by what they saw and stopped in place.

I don't know where the corridor leads, but it's a gorgeous color. The ground is covered with blankets full of auspicious patterns, and the left, right and top are painted walls made of glass.

There is a special word to describe it, that is carving beams and painting buildings. However, the corridor made of glass makes people see the visual impact of being in the kingdom of God under the light.

There are many vertical curtains in the corridor. It seems that they are made of small green gemstones strung with red ropes?

In fact, there is no mistake in calling it gem, but that small one after another is actually emerald.

The originally gorgeous corridor, with the brilliance of those precious stones, makes people feel what is extreme extravagance.

The Han Empire conquered the Indochina Peninsula and found too many jadeite mines. In order not to have an impact on the market, it controlled the delivery of jadeite to the market.

If there is more than one thing, it is not worth money. According to the old concept, the hanging curtain made of jade will feel luxurious, but for the number of Jadeites owned by the Han Empire, their value is not too high.

Let's talk about glass. If we make fully transparent glass according to Liu Yan's requirements, the colorful glass in the corridor is actually a failure to deal with metal bubbles.

The key is that these exotic princesses don't know. They are completely shocked by the scenery in front of them.

"Really... Really!" Helena's face was dull: "it's so beautiful!"

Scientific research has shown that women are far more sensitive to color than men. At the same time, women's love for gemstones is also an instinct. They don't know the product of glass. They just regard it as a huge pile of gemstones or cut into painting walls on the left and right sides and on the top, which can make their eyes colorful.

"Too rich!" Helena can be sure that the treasure of this corridor alone can make countless Romans Crazy: "its value must exceed a hundred high-grade manors!"

Building a high-grade manor in Rome is not a luxury, but only buildings, gardens, pools and other facilities, which will cost about 5000 gold coins.

A hundred high-grade manors are 500000 gold coins!

Zhuo Xiang flashed imperceptible contempt on her face. She is one of the people who know how to get the goods in this corridor. Frankly, it doesn't cost much.

Of course, only those who know it will feel nothing strange.

For example, the princesses do not know the source of the items in the corridor. They will think they are treasures, so most people will also think they are treasures. Since they think that even a stone will be overestimated, valuable things are always priced by people.

There are a considerable number of crooked nuts on the land of the Han Empire. The commodity they want to buy most in the Han Empire is silk.

The crooked nuts found the value of tea, and tea has become a hot commodity.

Porcelain is the third valuable commodity found, but its trading volume is not comparable to that of silk and tea.

If there are any other commodities that are also sought after by crooked nuts, a small number of glass products put on the market are also one of them. Small area mirrors, colorful glass sheets, and glass products of various shapes.

Nowadays, the value of glass products far exceeds that of silk, tea and porcelain. Individual glass products have even been sold at the high price of tens of thousands of gold coins, which can be regarded as one of the fist products of the Han Empire.

Based on the principle of valuing rarity, the number of glass products put on the market is very rare, not only the crooked nuts, but also the Han people.

Liu Yan will not have any conscience about the pit crooked nuts, and he will not apologize to the Han people who have enough wealth to buy glass products.

Setting such a high price for glass products itself is not affordable to ordinary people, so it can't pit ordinary people.

I don't know how many corridors and passages they passed through. The princesses who came for the first time could not distinguish the southeast from the northwest. They saw too many things along the way and once again confirmed the wealth of the Han Empire... At least they confirmed that the royal family had amazing wealth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait here." Zhuo Xiang did not introduce them to the buildings in the palace all the way, but also said some etiquette norms: "there will be a general name later. Please enter immediately when you shout your name. What will happen later? I believe you already know."

The princess who understood Chinese immediately saluted Zhuo Xiang and said she understood.

The remaining three princesses who couldn't understand Chinese were ignorant when they saw the two princesses of Rome and sassanne salute.

"The meaning of the female official of the Han Empire..." Ye Na repeated what Zhuo Xiang had just said in Persian without any misleading. After the translation, she paused and continued with a smile: "you need to hire a Chinese teacher."

That's what they say, but even if they can hire teachers who are proficient in their own language and Chinese privately, it's still unknown whether they can enter Miyagi. Not to mention, they know that they really can't find people who understand Chinese in their own country.

"If..." aisia showed her humility and asked Ye Na, "we will be extremely grateful if you can teach us Chinese."

Helena said before Yena, "I can speak many languages, including Persian and Chinese. Maybe I can help you."

Ye Na always smiles, even if Helena actually cuts her beard.

They are all foreigners. They come to a strange land and may live here until they grow old.

After going to a strange land, people can only distinguish between locals and outsiders. It is a very understandable behavior for outsiders to stick together.

Their identity should be special. At least before they understand the situation, no one knows what the attitude of "old people", including the queen, is. It is a very rational choice to hold a group for warmth first.

The first person to be named is Ye Na. She was surprised when she heard her name. She took a look at Helena and hurried in.

Helena was completely stunned. She took it for granted that the first person to enter would be herself. I never thought that the queen of the Han Empire would choose the princess of Persia.

"Rome... Has always been stronger than Persia..." Helena's face was very ugly: "the Han Empire should know this!"

Helena secretly pulled Helena's clothes and whispered, "sister."

Helena certainly won't attack here, but she's very angry.

Not long, about five minutes? Ye Na came out with a blank face.

Before her princess could ask anything, the name of another princess came out, and Helena was called.

Nikal asked the question everyone wanted to know: "what's it like after going in?"

"Ah...?" Ye Na was still at a loss. She didn't seem to have recovered from something: "I didn't see the queen..."

Helena also came out soon. When she came out, she simply leaned against the wall and gasped. She couldn't answer Helena's questions at all.

"What is the situation?" Helena wanted to break her head and couldn't think of what happened to the people who went in. How did she get out and lose her soul one by one: "is it terrible?"

The third person named is Nicole. She also came out after less than five minutes. It is also difficult to describe her experience in it.

In the face of people who go in and come out like that, people who haven't gone in will inevitably become uneasy.

Helena was finally named. When she entered the hall, her sight was blocked by a landscape. She turned a corner to see what the hall looked like.

Compared with the splendor of other places, the hall is not too complex in color, or even empty. There are only crimson floors and carved beams. In most places, the light is relatively dark, supporting the dazzling position of the only strong light.

Helena's biggest surprise was that she couldn't see anyone in the hall. She took a few steps forward, just when she came to the place where the sun shone, she was stopped and stood where she was.

[is the queen behind the bead curtain on your majesty?] Helena can feel a lot of eyes looking at herself in the strong light. Because the light is so strong, she even has a strange feeling that she has been seen through: [why no one, how long do I need to stand like this?]

Your majesty is a step, which is specially used to refer to the steps of the imperial palace. That's why the emperor is called his majesty.

Except for the voice of standing in place, no one spoke again. There was silence in the hall.

Standing in the only place where the sun shines, and then in a quiet space, I can feel myself being watched. That mood is very difficult to describe. Anyway, I won't feel better.

When Helena heard someone speak again, she was stunned. Only after she was stunned did she react that she could leave. Now she finally understood why the people who had just come in were in a trance.

"Cross off her list."

Cui Wan did sit behind the bead curtain and looked carefully at all the foreign princesses who came in. It was their appearance, figure and behavior after standing.

Zhuo Xiang silently drew an "X" on Helena's name on the roster.

Another one with an "X" is Nicole.

... split... Cut... Line

Recently, my body and spirit are very bad. I keep coughing, have a little fever and can't concentrate.

I feel awful. I want to cry.!
