The eunuchs from the palace were very polite to Pei Xingjian, if they closed their eyes and listened with their ears, they almost thought that their son was discussing things with his father.
Pei Xingjian has seen the world in the past few days, and he has no stage fright after more contact with those dignitaries, he smiled and exchanged a few words with the eunuch, and then asked: "This father-in-law, I don't know what is going on here?"
"Mr.
Pei, my concubine wants to invite you to the palace."
The eunuch bowed his head respectfully, and he was even more professional than Xiong Da Xiong Er, who acted as Pei Xingjian's guard, and his answer was also meticulous.
Guifei, one of the three concubines, Goguryeo is learning everything from the Tang Dynasty, and even the national capital is named after Chang'an, so it is not so strange to make a third concubine.
Pei Xingjian somewhat understood this, and nodded when he heard this: "Since this is the case, I will go down and clean up, and I will go to the palace with you to meet you." ” The eunuch was able to complete the mission so easily, and his mood was much more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Then let's go and wait outside now, Mr.
Pei doesn't have to worry." ” After the eunuch left, Pei Xingjian found a set of clothes to change into, and asked Xiong Er to take a mirror and other gifts, and then left the room.
As the so-called night owl enters the house and has nothing to do, if there is no need, it is naturally impossible for the noble concubine of Goguryeo to meet Pei Xingjian, a businessman from the Tang Dynasty, even if his background is big.
After all, there are still three catties of nails in the broken ship, although Goguryeo's national strength is not as strong as the Tang Dynasty, but it is only the people who suffer, for the royal family, it is actually not worse than the Tang royal family, at least in terms of status, everyone is still a level, so if a businessman like Pei Xingjian does not have a treasure mirror in his hand, it is impossible for him to enter the eyes of the concubines in the palace.
Without saying anything all the way, Pei Xingjian sat in a carriage, followed the eunuch in a circle, entered through the side gate of the Goguryeo Palace, and came to an exquisite garden. got out of the carriage, Xiong Er's identity was not able to follow Pei Xingjian further, so the things he brought were handed over to Pei Xingjian himself, and he followed the eunuch around the garden twice, and finally saw the main owner at a pavilion, a beautiful woman wearing a snow-white sable fur.
Pei Xingjian only glanced at the beautiful woman, then lowered his head again, and said with a straight face: "Pei Xingjian, a merchant in the Tang Dynasty, has seen the concubine Niangniang." ” The woman is also a polite person, and simply waved her hand to signal that Pei Xingjian did not need to be polite, and casually ordered: "Come here, give me a seat." ” "Xie Guifei Niangniang."
Pei Xingjian was not polite, and immediately went up to sit when he saw You'er.
The beautiful woman looked at Pei Xingjian with interest, and only after a while did she lightly open her lips: "Mr.
Pei, there is a kind of treasure mirror in Chang'an City recently, but I don't know if you brought it."
"Back to the concubine Niangniang, it was brought here."
Pei Xingjian stood up with interest when he heard this, and held up the box in his hand with both hands: "I haven't had the opportunity to meet Niangniang before, and I'm afraid that it will be a little abrupt to meet rashly, so I have dragged it out until now, and I hope Niangniang will forgive me." ” Although the beautiful woman had already guessed what would be in the box in Pei Xingjian's hand, she was still happy in her heart when she heard him admit it herself, and while arranging for the palace maid next to her to take the things over, she said with a smile: "Mr.
Pei has a heart." ” "Deserve it."
Pei Xingjian handed over the things and sat back in his place, not caring at all about the faux pass of the beautiful woman opening the box in front of him.
In fact, it's no wonder that the Goguryeo concubine was rude, it was really too tempting for women to use mirrors, and we may not feel how to use mirrors in later generations, but in ancient times when glass first appeared, it is not an exaggeration to say that kind of glass mirror is simply an artifact for women.
As the box opened and saw the coveted thing, the beautiful woman's eyes flashed with satisfaction, but soon her eyes were attracted by several other refined small bottles, and she took out one and looked at it for a moment before slowly asking: "Mr.
Pei, this thing is a perfume produced in the name of the queen mother."
"Exactly," Pei Xingjian nodded yes.
Goguryeo does not have a queen at the moment for some reason, so the only one who can make the concubine in front of him call him the queen is the one from Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.
Although the glamorous woman is the concubine of Goguryeo, it is the first time she has seen perfume, and her face has become extremely wonderful at the moment, and she stared at Pei Xingjian for a long time before suppressing her excitement, and said in a harmonious voice: "This thing is worth a thousand gold, but it makes Mr.
Pei break the bank." ” "It's okay, as long as my mother is happy."
Pei Xingjian replied with a smile.
A few years ago, Li Muyun gave his perfume business to the eldest grandson queen as a birthday gift, and at the same time, this guy did not forget to remind the queen that she must control the output.
As a result, even in Datang, perfume is hard to find, although the small bottle has been sold for more than 200 times, it is still sold out immediately every time it arrives.
Although Goguryeo knows that there is such a thing as perfume, but it is only limited to hearing about it, and he has not seen the real thing at all, Pei Xingjian took out four bottles at a time, and it can be said that he directly hit the weakness of the concubine at once.
If it weren't for the fear that Pei Xingjian would be unhappy, it is estimated that the beautiful woman would have the heart to recognize him as her godson.
After a while, the beautiful woman finally came back to her senses from the surprise, looked at Pei Xingjian's eyes full of appreciation, and beckoned someone to serve tea at the same time, and asked kindly: "Mr.
Pei, I heard that you came to Goguryeo this time to do business."
Pei Xingjian replied: "Yes, my husband wants to develop a new international trade route, and I am mainly responsible for the operation of the Goguryeo side. ” "I don't know who the Lingshi is" Pei Xingjian's generosity shocked the beautiful woman, and she became curious about his teacher.
Pei Xingjian saw that the beautiful woman was somewhat confused about the situation, and immediately explained: "My husband is the king of the Tang Dynasty. ” The face of the beautiful woman of the "Xiaoyao King" changed, I don't know what she thought, but she quickly returned to normal, and continued to ask with a pleasant face: "I don't know what kind of business His Royal Highness Xiaoyao King wants to do in Goguryeo?"
"Minerals, real estate, and so on."
Pei Xingjian tried his best to re-say what he had said to Jin Chengyou before, and finally looked at the beautiful woman and said: "Guifei Niangniang, if the business can be successfully cooperated this time, whether it is for Datang or Goguryeo, there will be a great profit, and I hope that Niangniang can be fulfilled." ” The beautiful woman listened to Pei Xingjian's speech, hesitated for a moment, and asked quietly: "What Mr.
Pei said made the palace a little confused. ” Pei Xingjian saw that the beautiful woman was pretending to be confused with him, so he simply opened the skylight and said brightly, and said bluntly: "Niangniang, what you mean next is that you can ask Niangniang to help introduce you, so that you can meet His Majesty the Emperor in the next place." ”:
