Chapter 439 Funny Foreigners
The visitor was none other than Mr. Xiao Qinghe, the Deputy Minister of Rites, who was sent by the Emperor to the embassy to receive foreigners.
At the age of over forty, he was out of breath from running.
"Greetings, hello to Prince Rong, Princess Rong, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess. Crown Princess, I really can't serve those foreigners. Please accompany me to Changping Street.
Those people are curious about everything they see and want to buy everything, but they have no money at all.
The merchants dared not accept the money they took out. It was completely different from the money we have in Dawei. Now they are being stopped by the owner of a shop on the street and are not allowed to leave.
I can't communicate with them, I have to rely on gestures, which is really too difficult."
Lord Xiao was sweating on his forehead even in the middle of winter.
After hearing his complaints, Yu Yuanzheng was speechless.
Why are these explorers who travel all over the world so restless?
They really think that just because Wei is polite to them, they will do whatever they want.
But thinking of their role, Yu Yuanzheng had to finish her meal quickly and let him solve the problem.
Shangguan Ziqi also stood up and went with her.
When the couple followed Xiao Qinghe to Changping Street, they saw from afar the group of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners surrounded at the door of a shop, surrounded by people who were watching the fun.
The people knew who these people were yesterday and were no longer afraid.
There were also several officials in official uniforms negotiating with the shopkeeper.
The most conspicuous one was of course Edward, who was wearing their unique strange clothes and had a sword at his waist.
He was gesturing and dancing with his hands.
"Make way, make way!" Xiao Qinghe led the way.
The crowd made way for them, and Yu Yuanzheng could see clearly that Edward was holding a blue and white porcelain vase in his hand. The shopkeeper was holding his sleeve tightly, and the two were in a stalemate.
Edward was mumbling something, but the shopkeeper stamped his feet anxiously: "Sir, please pay!"
Yu Yuanzheng stepped forward quickly and said in fluent English, "Mr. Edward, what are you doing? Please return the vase to the shopkeeper."
Edward turned his head sharply when he heard the familiar language, with surprise flashing in his blue eyes: "Your Highness, you are here.
I just wanted to buy this beautiful bottle, but this gentleman didn’t seem to understand me.”
Yu Yuanzheng turned to look at the shopkeeper: "He said he wanted to buy this porcelain vase."
"I'm honored to meet the Princess Zhenguo.
But he couldn't come up with the money!
He gave me this in exchange for my vase.
This vase is the most valuable item in our Changlong store. It costs at least one thousand taels of silver. What he offered is totally inadequate."
The shopkeeper spread out his hand, and a gold coin with a foreigner's head on it was lying in his palm.
It weighs at most two taels, which is not enough to pay for supplies.
Only then did Yu Yuanzheng understand why the two of them were so entangled.
One wants to buy it, and the other thinks he doesn’t have enough money.
"Mr. Edward, this is called a blue and white porcelain vase, and it is the most distinctive work of art in our Great Wei.
It is not an ordinary vase, it has ornamental and collection value and is expensive.
It's much more noble and elegant than the glass bottle you showed me before.
And you only gave one gold coin, which is far from enough. It would take at least fifty gold coins to buy it."
Yu Yuanzheng explained helplessly.
The onlookers were all stunned. They didn't expect that the Princess Zhenguo was so powerful that she could actually say these words to someone they had never seen before.
And they had no idea what these people were saying.
For the people who have never seen it before, it is really an eye-opener.
They all started whispering.
“As expected of a princess guarding the country, you are so capable that you can even say such strange things.
And she is not afraid of these people.
Look at those people, each of them is so tall, like a tower.
If I stood in front of those people, I would definitely tremble with fear." A woman said to her companion.
"I think these people are a little strange, but they don't mean to hurt anyone. They were brought here by the government. It seems they just want to buy things."
"Who knew they were so unreasonable? They didn't even pay enough money, yet they dared to take other people's things."
"Maybe they don't know how much they're worth. I see the clothes they're wearing are made of good material, they don't look like poor people."
"Who knows? Let's see how the Princess Zhenguo mediates."
When Yu Yuanzheng told Edward the real price, he paused.
"Oh, God, it's so expensive." He had no choice but to let go and return the vase to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was not greedy and returned the gold coin that he had never seen before to Edward.
"Mr. Edward, we just arrived in the capital yesterday. Aren't you tired? Why don't you take a rest before coming out? I was planning to have a good rest today and then go to the embassy tomorrow to take you out for a walk. I didn't expect you to be so anxious."
"Your Highness, we are fascinated by the capital of Wei. We can't stay here any longer. The officials of Wei are very considerate and we can go out and explore the streets on our own."
These people are away from home all year round and are in very good spirits, so they don't need to rest at all.
"Okay. Now I'll take you around." Yu Yuanzheng had no choice but to be the guide.
But as soon as they walked out of Changlong Porcelain Shop, they saw another foreigner named William running towards them holding a big rooster.
But because he didn't hold it tightly, the rooster broke free from his arms, flapped its wings and flew away, then ran around among the crowd.
"My chicken, my chicken." William shouted and chased the rooster around in the crowd, causing the people to laugh.
Shangguan Ziqi was so uncomfortable trying to hold back his laughter that he saw the foreigner knocking down several civilians while chasing them. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he took out a piece of silver and shot it at the rooster.
The rooster felt pain, staggered and fell to the ground, and was held down by William.
"My lovely chicken." William touched the chicken's head.
The rooster didn't want to be touched, so it turned its head and pecked fiercely.
It actually pecked a small hole in William's hand, and blood came out instantly.
"Oh, God." William slapped the chicken's head angrily.
"Mr. William, what's going on with you?" Yu Yuanzheng walked forward and asked.
"Oh, Princess, this chicken is so interesting. He fights very well. So I want to buy one for fun. I have never seen such a fighting rooster.
It actually pecked its opponent's head until it was bleeding, but it itself was not hurt at all. Look, there is not even a drop of blood on its body."
William held the rooster in front of Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi as if he was presenting a treasure, and spoke about it with great excitement.
"Qingfeng, find out what's going on." Shangguan Ziqi couldn't bear to watch and ordered the servant behind him.
Just a chicken can arouse the interest of these foreigners.
After a while, Qingfeng came over carrying a man in his thirties.
"Prince, he knows best."
"My humble servant greets His Majesty the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess. I was setting up a cockfighting stall on the street corner to make some money. This gentleman saw that my big rooster won, so he gave me this and took my rooster away." The man took out a gold coin that Yu Yuanzheng had just seen from his arms.
Good man, you really don’t know the prices of food, oil, salt and firewood.
A piece of blue and white porcelain worth one thousand taels was given a gold coin, and a chicken was also given a gold coin.
It seems that those who can come out to explore are all from wealthy families, otherwise they would not have the money to support them to go so far.
Qingfeng was also dumbfounded.
Go and get the silver that the prince had just used to kill the chicken from a boy, give it to the man, exchange it for the gold coin, and put it in William's hand.
"You can buy a hundred chickens with this gold coin." Yu Yuanzheng explained.
"Oh, God. Thank you, Prince, for buying me this chicken." William smiled and put the gold coins away.
Why does this sound so funny?
Yu Yuanzheng couldn't help but laugh: "Let the embassy's chef cook it for you tonight."
"No, no, no. It's a warrior, you can't eat it."
