The people from the Parthian Empire dress very differently from us.

The dresses that the girls wore were all big puffy skirts with hems that were very big, like upside-down flower baskets. The hems of the skirts swayed when they walked. There were several layers of gauze stacked together, and they looked soft and fluffy.

The skirts are colorful, including bright goose yellow and royal blue.

There are also ones with large roses printed on them, low necklines, and circles of white lace, like the cream lace on a cake.

Their hair is not tied into a bun like ours, but is curled, braided or tied into a loose bun, and then adorned with pearl hairpins or small silk flowers.

Her face always has a light rouge on it, making it rosy, and her lips are also painted brightly. When she smiles, her white teeth are particularly eye-catching.

He was wearing pointed leather shoes, which made a "clacking" sound when he walked.

The shoe uppers are also decorated with bows and small beads, and when they walk with their heads held high, they can be seen from a distance.

Aunt Zhang stretched her neck and smacked her lips in amazement. "Wow, this is how all foreigners dress! Why does it look even more fancy than our ruqun?"

The old man selling candied haws nearby also came over and said: "That's right, this skirt spins like a peacock spreading its tail."

Some people couldn't help but get closer and smell it, and found that the girls had a sweet fragrance on their bodies, and no one knew what they had applied.

The eight-man sedan chair was painted bright red, with curtains embroidered with gold thread and twined branches, and copper bells hanging from the four corners. The bearers walked steadily and the bells tinkled.

The girls in the sedan chairs all stood with their backs straight, their heads held high, and their eyes swept across the crowd with pride.

Bai Wanwan shook her head: "These people's clothes are too revealing."

These women attracted a lot of attention. Many people surrounded them and said, "They are so beautiful! Look at how they are dressed differently from us."

"Isn't it? These legs are really white and beautiful."

Then I heard the girl from the Parthian Empire say in English:

“These filthy natives are completely uncultured and dare to say anything.

In our empire, I would have put them all in jail."

The girl leading the group was indeed very pretty, with blonde hair and an incredible beauty.

She curled her lips at her companions and said, "This street is not even as wide as the corridor of our palace! The carriage is stumbling along."

The girl from Dayuan chimed in, "That's right! The main road in our capital can accommodate four carriages abreast. It's nothing like here, where people are crammed like ants on a hot pot."

The girl from Yelang shook the bells on her head and laughed ostentatiously: "Look at how stupidly they are staring at our clothes. I'm afraid they have never even seen a shell!"

Several companions covered their mouths and laughed together.

The girl from the Xiongnu Kingdom snorted coldly:

"I thought the Central Plains was so powerful, but this is it?

The houses are all short and squat, about the same height as our tents on the grassland."

A girl with brightly painted rouge clutched a handkerchief and glanced disdainfully at the street vendors: "What kind of rubbish are these people selling? The fabric is so rough that it can only be used to clean the stove."

Another curly-haired girl crossed her arms. "They're planning a competition, but they don't even have a proper welcoming team. No wonder they're so unworldly. They can't take their eyes off the dresses we're wearing."

The reception messenger arrived soon and took them directly into the inn.

This inn is specially designed to receive foreign guests and is decorated magnificently.

The guys all said with bitter faces:

"These ladies are so difficult to please, they insist on eating Western food.

How can we cook Western food? The chef is going crazy now..."

"Isn't it? Isn't this embarrassing for us? What's so delicious about Western food? I really don't understand what Western food is."

The waiter scratched his head and said, "How would I know? Sir An, do you know what Western food is?"

An Yanning sighed and said, "These naughty kids are so annoying. I'll find someone to make them some Western food."

An Yanning went straight to Bai Wanwan, who was reciting her lessons. She looked at An Yanning and said, "Master An, why did you think of looking for me?"

An Yanning coughed and said:

"My wife once had a Western meal at your house and said it was extremely delicious.

I just want to ask if I can borrow your chef's equipment."

The chefs trained by Bai Wanwan can not only cook those palace dishes, but also cook Western food.

Many of these chefs came from the palace and came out to retire when they were old. Bai Wanwan re-employed them all to the Bai Mansion.

Then let these chefs lead people for her. If she has more than 100 chefs and dozens of waiters under her,

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "We do have chefs who cook Western food, but their entry fee is quite high. Two hundred taels per person per day. Is that okay with you?"

Lord An wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Of course you can."

We can’t let people from other countries laugh at us!

If we can't find a chef who can cook Western food today, the entire Great Qi Kingdom will become a joke, and other countries will then say, look how weak the Great Qi Kingdom is!

There is not even anyone who can cook Western food.

Bai Wanwan went straight back to the Bai Mansion and brought 20 chefs with her, saying, "They all know how to cook Western food. Just take them with you."

Lord An said with a smile, "How about you, Princess, come with me to stay at the guildhall for a few days? You young people are the most interesting to talk about, and it would be perfect for you to receive the foreign guests."

"Okay! I also want to meet these rich girls. Let's go!" Bai Wanwan agreed directly.

Lord An stroked his beard. The daughters of rich families in these guilds were too difficult to deal with. Bai Wanwan was at the age when she loved to play and make noises. Wouldn't it be nice if they could get together when the time came?

But he coughed and said, "They are guests from afar. You must find a way to get closer to them, but don't offend them all."

Bai Wanwan blinked and said, "What are you talking about? I love playing with pretty sisters the most. Let's go!"

As Bai Wanwan stepped into the guild hall, she saw the front hall paved with golden bricks, and the crystal-decorated palace lanterns made the Western oil paintings on the walls shine brightly.

Dozens of waiters in moon-white brocade robes stood on both sides, their figures as tall and straight as green bamboos.

The maid who led the way had a pearl hairpin in her bun and a smile on her face.

"Who is this child?" The princess of Parthia glanced at him with her phoenix eyes, holding an enamel fan.

The waiter bowed and replied, "This is Princess An Ning."

The princess sneered, Bai Wanwan glanced back coldly, her skirt sweeping across the Persian carpet, and she walked straight to the second floor.

Lord An led her to the east wing, and when she pushed the door open, she saw a rosewood screen. Behind the screen, a soft couch was covered with a snow-white cloud-patterned quilt, and blue smoke was curling from the Boshan stove on the desk.

A shark silk gauze curtain hung on the south window, and a celadon vase in the corner held freshly broken branches, adding a touch of freshness to the sandalwood fragrance that filled the room.
