Mr. Xue replied, "I don't know the actual distance, but it is very far. From the east to the west, through the Persian Empire, through Sarason... Oh, in Byzantium, the "Great Gourmet" as he was called, the Great Gourmet was called the Saracen Empire. Through Saracen and across the Caucasus. That's where the students started, in a place called the Fran, which is now the territory of the Byzantine Empire. "
Princess Pingyang was able to keep her composure, but her expression remained calm. He Panren was obviously a bit shocked, as if he couldn't think of a specific concept or location. He blinked twice and asked hesitantly, "I wonder how vast the borders of the Dazhou Kingdom are?"
Tang resident called them the Dasheen, and Byzantium called them Sarason. When I came here, I also stayed at Sarason for a period of time, and it was in the peak of my life. Tang resident called them the Dasheen, and Byzantium called them Sarason, and when I came here, I also stayed at Sarason for a period of time.
Mr. Xue was 80% real and 20% fake.
He Panren nodded and stopped asking. He seemed to be thinking of something else. As the host, Princess Pingyang said, "The tea is ready. Mr. Xue, please have some tea."
"Thank you, General."
The maid who was making tea came over with a cup of tea. Mr. Xue did not stand on ceremony as he picked up the cup of tea. The moment he removed the lid, the smell of seasonings filled his nose — —
The tea water of Tang Dynasty had to be seasoned.
Looking at the tea of the black shuttle, Mr. Xue somehow thought of the medicine he drank two days ago and sour water started to flow from his mouth.
Looking at the three of them leisurely eating tea, Mr. Xue followed the guidance of "Tasting History" and took a sip. The taste was strange and the seasoning was too strong. It covered up the aroma of the tea.
Princess noticed his hesitation. "Is Mr. Xue not used to tea soup?"
Mr. Xue said honestly, "General treats us with tea, so we should thank you. Unfortunately, our ancestors have lived overseas for a long time, so our eating habits and living habits have also changed a lot. This method of making tea soup has been lost in the outside world and has never been tasted before.
Mr. Xue didn't want to force himself. Princess Pingyang glanced at the maid who was making the tea, and the maid immediately went up to Mr. Xue and gave him a glass of water.
Princess Pingyang seemed to be a chatterbox as she asked gracefully, "My husband isn't used to drinking tea. What do you usually drink?"
Mr. Xue answered with a smile, "I used to drink a lot of tea, juice and so on. There were several kinds of tea. For example, students liked to make tea after boiling it, first bitter, then sweet, and then fragrant; ladies like the general liked to make tea after boiling it, and there were more varieties of tea like tea, fruits that were made after drying with various fruits, and flowers that were made after taking flowers and flowers, both of which were said to have beauty effects; and red tea that was made after frying and fermenting with tea. "Even if it's black tea, there are different methods of drinking it. Some add milk to the tea, some call it milk tea, some don't add milk, and so on."
Princess Pingyang asked again, "And the juice... As the name implies, it's made from fruit? "
"Yes. Juice is made by pressing and grinding fresh fruits. "
"Indeed, it's an overseas country. Everything is different from my Tang Dynasty."
"Yes."
Princess Pingyang nodded and suddenly changed the topic, "My husband's ancestor is Jian Kang, where is Jian Kang?"
"It's just that I've heard Grandfather mention it a few times when I was young. Grandfather only said that it was a good place, but due to the fact that I have been living there for too long, it's already too late. The ancestors had to move several times before they could settle down at the Fran. "
"How many times?"
"Yes. First, the ancestor decided to set out to sea, and after sailing for three months on the sea, he encountered a storm. With the protection of his ancestors, he was actually blown to a certain shore and was rescued and landed on the shore, but unfortunately, he was not at ease with the customs of the inhabitants of that place. After living apart for a few years, he moved his entire clan to the west, and only after doing so many times did he finally move to Fran. "
Princess Pingyang nodded. "It's easy to say, but I guess you must have gone through a lot of hardships."
"That's right. A good life is better than home. At that time, Fu Lang Ji was just a fertile piece of land without an owner, and his family grew and cultivated there. Afterwards, the Byzantine dynasty was powerful, and the army relied on the will of the Byzantine Emperor to unite the entire Europa. Grandfather was unwilling to serve the barbarians and, before he died, had his students relocate back to Tang Dynasty. Grandfather said, after all, that's not where we Chinese live, and the Chinese should still come back to Huaxia. The beauty of dress is described as magnificent, and the etiquette as grand as summer! "
Firstly, he wanted to explain his origins. Secondly, he wanted Tang Dynasty people to know that in the distant west, there was also a strong empire, and the world didn't only have Tang Dynasty s.
Perhaps we should go to the West before the Westerners come to China. It's not that the Chinese don't have the spirit of exploration, it's just that the Chinese are confident that our country is the best in the world. In the eyes of the Chinese, there are only two countries in the world: one is China and the other is a foreign country.
Recalling that he would never be able to return to modern China, Mr. Xue could not help but feel a little sad. The three men looked at each other, then the girl wearing the green dress asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone else from the Husband's Clan?"
"All 213 clansmen, excluding women, children, old and weak, participate in the battle. The student was the youngest in the family, and was protected by his elder brother to avoid death. Grandfather saw that the situation was no longer as it was now. He used all his wealth to force me to leave with the ten guards. When the students leave, it will be the time when the whole family of women and children will be strangled to death. We walked for four years and suffered a lot along the way. The student's guards died trying to protect the students. However, in my heart, all of my relatives are still alive. I will stay in the sky and watch as I survive in this China. "
Mr. Xue said calmly. He himself had experienced the pain of losing his loved ones, and no matter how much grief he felt, it wouldn't be worth the time. When the grief was gone, we would miss them forever in our hearts, never to be surrounded by grief again.
Princess Pingyang said, "The deceased are already dead. Those who come can catch up. Now that Mr. Xue has returned to my Tang Dynasty, I can stay here peacefully. In the Central Plains, I can make the Xue Clan prosper again. "
"Thank you, General." If not for the general's help, the student would not have been able to repay the kindness of saving his life. Please accept Mr. Xue's respect! "
As he spoke, he stood up and paid his respects to Princess Pingyang, kowtowing to her. Mr. Xue was sincere to pay his respects to her. It was only right for him to pay his respects to her after saving her life.
Princess Pingyang looked to the side, and the servants on both sides immediately held Mr. Xue up. "Mr. Xue, there's no need to be too polite. You have to save a life, it's better than a seven-level Pagoda. Her husband had just returned from far away, so she thought that he must be a stranger to the Central Plains. Where would my husband like to settle down? Jiankang? We can send someone to escort you for a bit. "
This place was a mess and he was worried that he wouldn't dare to set off alone. It would be good if Princess Pingyang sent someone to escort him. Mr. Xue hurriedly said: "I want to go to the capital and see for myself. I want to find a suitable place to earn a living. After all, in the future, we need to live in Tang Dynasty.
"That's good …"
As Princess Pingyang was speaking, a maid suddenly rushed in from outside. She held a wooden box in her hands and whispered into Princess Pingyang's ear.
Princess Pingyang's expression didn't change. She just glanced at Mr. Xue and opened the wooden box. She took out a few pieces of snow-white paper from the first floor, a dagger on the second floor, and a high power telescope on the third floor.
It was one of Mr. Xue's gifts.
Princess Pingyang quickly flipped through the blueprints with an expressionless face. She raised her head and looked at Mr. Xue, "This is the gift Mr. Xue prepared?"
Mr. Xue had a bashful smile on his face: "Compared to Princess's saving grace, this is indeed a small gift."
Princess Pingyang looked deeply at Mr. Xue and pointed at the blueprint. "What is this? Please explain it in detail, Mr. Xue! "
Mr. Xue didn't speak immediately. Instead, he looked at the many people present. He vassal was worthy of being a businessman. He was very well-behaved and immediately stood up, "General, I still have things to do in the army, so I will take my leave first."
Princess Pingyang nodded and looked to the side. The maid who made the tea immediately stood up and led He vassal out.
