Chapter 1074: Couple utensils

Then, I just listened to the Mongolian man saying: "The emperor, the minister came this time and brought a lot of specialties of our tribe. There are balin stones, gilt wooden bowls, wool carpets, and our Mongolian cuisine."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a Mongolian woman who poured kumiss on the tray.
And in that tray, there are milk tofu and dried beef.
When they offered it, the eunuchs in the palace would have to test the poison.
While the minions 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 has a white background with blue, camel, red dragon and phoenix and moiré patterns.
And the Mongolian man proudly introduced: "This is our tribe's hand-woven carpet using local high-quality sheep wool as raw materials. This time the minister came to the capital and transported six carts to the emperor as a court. Royal carpet."
Si Ye's eyes fell on the finely crafted carpet.
He chinked slightly, and gave a faint "um" expression in his eyes.
Si Ye is a boring gourd. At this time, Ruoyin pulled his lips and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the people of your tribe are ingenious, and the carpets made are fine, soft, flexible, and durable. They are all sold. I went abroad. I saw this colorful pattern today, with natural luster, especially the golden dragon pattern, which looks luxurious and exquisite."
"The empress and the emperor are satisfied." The Mongolian man looked happy, then scratched his head embarrassedly, and said: "By the way, the minister is here this time, and there are two sets of gilt wooden bowls to be presented to the emperor. With the empress."
He pointed to the two sets of gilt wooden bowls held by the accompanying minions around him, and said: "This bowl is made of dried paulownia. After boiled, it is rested and formed with a layer of gold and carved with dragon and phoenix patterns. And it is in full bloom. The water does not crack, the ground does not break, it is neither hot nor icy, it can be passed on from generation to generation, and the original flavor of the food can be completely maintained."
Hearing this, Ruoyin and Si Ye looked at the gilded vessels one after another.
Si Ye had already heard about Mongolian wooden bowls.
But Ruoyin was the first time he heard this kind of bowl.
To say that the porcelain rice bowl is good-looking or beautiful, but it is hot and easy to break.
The royal family has always paid attention to rules and superstitions.
Especially on important days, if the bowl is broken, it is really unlucky.
Even the gold and silver rice bowls commonly used by Si Yeh are expensive, but they also have the problem of being hot.
But this gilt wooden bowl is not only drop-proof and not hot, but its appearance is as expensive as that made of gold.
Hearing what the Mongolian man said was passed down from generation to generation, wouldn't it take more than a lifetime?
Just when Ruoyin was curious, the Mongolian man said again: "In our tribe, there is a saying that each of us only chooses a set of gilt wooden bowls in our lifetime. When each wooden bowl is selected by the owner, it is signed. A life-long contract must accompany the master through this life. Therefore, the minister ordered the craftsmen to create two unique sets of gilt wooden bowls with dragons and phoenixes. Here, the minister wishes the emperor and the empress empress Chi Lan Mao a thousand years of violin and music for a hundred years."
As soon as the voice fell, I just listened to the four masters heartily said: "Okay, great!"
Ruo Yin thought Si Ye would be the same as before, faintly.
After all, that Mongolian carpet, but a cultural product of other tribes, can drive local economic development and even export trade.
And this gilt wooden bowl is the custom of their tribe and is generally not sold outside.
Who knew Si Ye's reaction, but it exceeded her imagination.
Ruo Yin turned his head slightly and glanced at Si Ye.
As a result, Si Ye happened to look at her.
When the two of them faced each other, the eyes of the Fourth Master were very open, but there was also emotion.
Ruoyin smiled lightly at such a hot gaze, shy.
Then, she withdrew her eyes.
At any rate, there are still so many people underneath, she is not good to be flirting here.
Just thinking about it in his heart, it seems that Si Ye is very satisfied with this set of couple utensils.
At this time, William's thick eyebrows frowned slightly.
Although he can understand most Chinese, he can also speak fluent Chinese.
But "Zhi Lan Mao for thousands of years, piano and music for a hundred years" is still somewhat difficult for Europeans like him.
Thinking about going, he still didn't understand the meaning.
Who made the Qing Dynasty text broad and profound?
But he is not blind, he looks satisfied from the fourth master.
And if the sound is embarrassing, you know what it means.
So he turned his head and asked a Qing Dynasty official sitting at the next table.
"What is Chilan Mao Chian, Qin Se Le a hundred years. Or what does it mean that Chi Lan Mao Chin Se Le a hundred years?"
The official on the side glanced at William.
Seeing that he is a foreigner, upholding the traditional virtues of the Qing Dynasty's friendship, politely reply: "Zhi" means "Zhi", "Zhi Lan" means Zhi and Lan, both of which are vanilla. It is usually used as a metaphor for the nobility or friendship of virtue. , Feelings, the beauty of the environment, etc. The violin and the serpent are made of sycamore wood, with a cavity, and the silk rope is the string. The two instruments are played together with a harmonious sound, which is used as a metaphor for harmonious feelings."
Having said that, the officials looked at William and thought he should understand.
However, William still asked the black face. "So, do plants and musical instruments have any direct relationship with your emperor and queen?"
"Naturally, it matters." Seeing that he still didn't understand, the officials had to seriously explain: "Zhilan has been magnificent for thousands of years, and the piano has been music for a hundred years. In general, the grass and trees have been flourishing for thousands of years. The meaning of more than a hundred years. It means that the emperor and the descendants of the queen are endless, and outstanding talents come out in large numbers. The husband and wife are loving and harmonious, and grow old together."
At this moment, William finally understood it, turned his head unhappy, and stopped paying attention to the officials who explained to him.
The official looked beeping.
Xin said he kindly explained it to him, but he actually showed him his face.
If I knew he was so ignorant of etiquette, I wouldn't tell him!
At this moment, the Mongolian man in the center of the temple said a few more auspicious words.
The four masters also gave gifts to the Mongolian men.
When the Mongolian man returned to the table and sat down, a man with a colorful turban walked to the center of the hall.
His turban is embroidered with complicated patterns with gold thread.
Not only that, but the clothes on his body are also embroidered with various golden patterns.
And his lower body was wrapped in a long brown striped brocade...dressed like a skirt.
After saluting Ruoyin and Si Ye, he said: "The emperor, this time the minister is not here alone, but with us the eldest princess of Yunan. Moreover, the eldest princess also lined up with our Yunan. National dance, I want to dedicate it to the emperor."
It was the king of Yunan Kingdom who said this.
