I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 73 [1 More] 73
Liu Tan didn't expect this effect beforehand, he just wanted to support Danyang.
At that time, it was Fan Mo in Chang'an
The wedding was held in the afternoon, and it was almost dark by the time Princess Danyang's carriage arrived at the palace.
To celebrate, the palace is surrounded by burning braziers. Against the backdrop of the fire, the two crystal clear sugar sculptures reflect the light of various colors, which truly interprets what is called Ambilight.
All the officials standing at the door looked at the sugar sculpture dazzled, and asked in twos and threes what kind of stone it was made of, and how it was so transparent and delicate.
Liu Tan didn't intend to keep it a secret. In fact, he didn't know how to make sugar, so he couldn't make such a sugar sculpture, so it didn't matter if he told them what the raw material was.
When Wusun people knew it was made of sugar, their faces were full of disbelief.
According to reports from people around Liu Tan, it seems that some people tried to secretly lick the sugar sculpture to see if it was made of sugar.
Of course, this behavior was ruthlessly stopped by the surrounding guards, but it was enough to make Liu Tan speechless for a long time.
Thanks to him, in addition to these two huge sugar sculptures, he also prepared a pyramid shape made of cubes of rock sugar, which means sweetness.
But when he looked at Lie Jiaomi, he thought... it's better not to be sweet.
When the frame of Princess Danyang arrived at the gate of the palace, everyone was looking at the gorgeous wedding car. Danyang hadn't shown her face since she arrived in Wusun, or she hadn't shown much along the way.
Except for Jun Xumi and a few high-ranking Wusun officials, no one knew what Princess Danyang looked like.
And let Jun Xumi describe it with Wusun's barren vocabulary over and over again: as beautiful as a flower that has just bloomed.
With the chorus of the ceremony officer, the curtain of the wedding car was slowly opened.
Wearing a solemn black and red wedding dress, Princess Danyang held a round fan to cover her face, and with the help of her maid, she slowly got off the wedding car.
At this time, everyone still hasn't seen the whole picture of Danyang, the only thing that can be seen is the decal on his forehead and those bright eyes that are gentle yet resolute.
Just looking at this pair of eyes, Wusun people's impression of the big Han princess has changed.
According to their rumors, most of the princesses who were sent to get married were frowning, mourning every day, and washing their faces with tears.
The princess doesn't seem to have much self-pity.
Princess Danyang looked around, and when she saw the people around her and the environment she was not familiar with, she was a little flustered, mainly because not only did people not know each other, but the people here also looked strange.
But when she saw Liu Tan, her heart settled down, and at the same time she took a deep breath, knowing that after today, she would no longer be that pampered and pampered princess, and everything in the future would have to be done by herself.
Princess Danyang suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, walked towards Lie Jiaomi who was waiting there with her head held high.
When he walked to Lie Jiaomi's side, he generously put his hand in Lie Jiaomi's outstretched hand, and let Lie Jiaomi lead her closer to the main hall.
This wedding is basically almost done here. Although the main event of the wedding does not start until the big man's wife arrives at the man's house, it is not so particular in Wusun.
If it wasn't for Liu Tan's strong request, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be a link of fan poetry, and the newlyweds would simply eat, drink, sing and dance with everyone.
But even if this link was added, Liu Tan still regretted not seeing Lie Jiaomi recite the fan poem in person.
No way, King Wusun also wants to save face. He doesn't know Chinese at all, and it is difficult for such an old man to learn it. Chinese can be said to be the most difficult language in the world no matter when it is.
So in the end, Jun Xumi could only be replaced. Fortunately, although Jun Xumi's Chinese is not standard, this poem is still well practiced.
And every time he finished reading, he felt that he had also become a literati of the Han Dynasty.
After reading the fan poem, Princess Danyang slowly took off the round fan covering her face.
A bright and charming beauty's face caught everyone's eyes.
Princess Danyang smiled and looked around, and lowered her head slightly to signal to everyone, and the Bu Yao above her head made a crisp and sweet sound.
Liu Tan even heard a lot of surprised gasps, followed by applause.
Lie Jiaomi's smile also changed from formulaic at the beginning to sincere.
Although he is in poor health, he is not very close to women now, but who would despise his beautiful wife?
Princess Danyang is not only beautiful, but also breaks everyone's stereotypes. She has the luxury of a celestial kingdom but is different from what they know. Instead, she has the straightforwardness and generosity of a grassland woman.
Liu Tan carefully observed the people around him, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Danyang has made a solid step, and the next step is to see how she gets along with Lie Jiaomi.
But to be honest, Liu Tan is not very optimistic about this point.
Not to mention the big age difference between the two parties, and the language barrier, as far as he knows, Lie Jiaomi is no longer a womanizer, so... If you want to influence Lie Jiaomi and let Lie Jiaomi be more tolerant to her, you need to be special. Only a strong heart can.
However, after Fan Shi was the wedding banquet, this banquet was probably the least that Liu Tan ate, and he really regretted why he didn't insist on adding some Central Plains dishes to the banquet.
Of course, in order to express sincerity, Wusun really prepared dishes from the Central Plains, but how to describe the taste.
When the cult arrives, it seems that the hot pot soup is all sweet, which is very difficult for people to adapt to.
However, in order to show the host's enthusiasm, Jun Xumi also likes to join him. Seeing that Liu Tan didn't eat much, Jun Xumi asked, "Why doesn't Your Highness use it? But the dishes don't suit your taste?"
Such a scene of great national integration, even if it is really not suitable, you can't say it!
So Liu Tan had no choice but to say: "The dishes are too rich, but I usually eat less at night, which is more healthy."
Jun Xumi was stunned for a moment, his Chinese vocabulary was so rich that he could understand what keeping in good health was.
But he didn't expect to hear this word from Liu Tan's mouth.
How old are you? How about keeping healthy?Isn't this the kind of age where people eat and drink, want to eat five meals a day, and starve to death if they miss one meal?
Jun Xumi was silent for a while and said: "Then... Shall I ask someone to serve some light dishes to His Highness?"
Forget it, the light dishes here are all oily!It hurts the stomach to eat too much!
Of course, at Liu Tan's age, he would not feel uncomfortable eating too much meat, but his eating habits all the time prevented him from eating and drinking.
In order to stop Jun Xumi, Liu Tan quickly said: "No need, but I have a dish, it can't be called a dish, it's just a new thing I want to give everyone a try."
Jun Xumi asked curiously, "What?"
Liu Tan smiled and said, "Sugar sculpture."
Jun Xumi's expression was distorted: "The one outside?"
He now has a headache when he hears the word sugar carving, and the two huge sugar sculptures placed at the gate of the palace seem to be silently mocking Wusun people for not seeing the world.
Of course, this is his own idea, and he also knows that this thing is precious. It first appeared at the big man's Zhengdan banquet, so he couldn't say anything.
But...the sugar sculptures outside have been exposed to the wind and the sun...the moon has been in the sun for a long time. No matter how careless the Wusun people are, they are a bit principled. Let them eat this thing?
Liu Tan quickly explained: "Of course not, let Cen Zou deal with the two statues outside the door after a few days. Today I specially made this one to share food with everyone."
Jun Xumi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly and said, "Okay!"
Thus, Wusun people once again saw crystal clear sugar sculptures indoors.
Compared with the somewhat dimly lit outdoor place, the pyramid-shaped sugar sculpture indoors is more beautiful.
After the show, Liu Tan asked people to give the top of the pyramid to Lie Jiaomi, and then gave the second floor to Princess Danyang, and the rest began to share food in turn.
But he didn't want it himself, Jun Xumi asked after finding out: "Will Your Highness not eat?"
Liu Tan said with a smile: "This thing was originally made by me, so I don't need it."
In fact, it is not easy to arrange your own order. It is normal to give Lie Jiaomi first, after all, he is the king of Wusun, but... Liu Tan is a little unwilling.
Wusun is probably not as big as his future feudal land—among Liu Che's sons, the smallest feudal state is bigger than Wusun, and Liu Tan's fiefdom will never be smaller than that.
So in terms of land area, Lie Jiaomi's status is not as good as him, but now it is the exchange between the two countries, and it can't be done according to that, so Liu Tan simply didn't arrange it, so as not to feel unbalanced.
When he said that, Jun Xumi couldn't hold back and said, "This...is this really candy?"
It's not that he has never eaten sweets, but the sugar in the Western Regions is not the same as the sugar in the big man, but stone honey is the same, but it is red. How can it be so crystal clear?
Liu Tan smiled and asked, "Is it sweet?"
Jun Xumi took a sip of the candy and nodded seriously: "Sweet."
Liu Tan laughed and said, "Since it's sweet, it must be sugar."
Jun Xumi was curious but didn't want to ask too many questions. When he was in Chang'an, he had also been to the sugar shop that Liu Tan owned. He knew that the shop was very profitable, and they would definitely not tell him the secret recipe.
I just don't know... Does Princess Danyang have this secret recipe?
Jun Xumi is very eager for this prescription, not only for making money, but also for being able to overwhelm Lu Xuan in dealing with the Xiongnu!
The Huns are much richer than Wusun, so they will definitely be interested.
After the wedding banquet that day, on the way back to the post house, Liu Tan suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Huo Guang, who was half a step behind him, turned his head to look at him, and found that Liu Tan's face was a little tired.
He heard Liu Tan whisper something: "It's finally over, well, we have to go after we go back to help Danyang choose a site, right?"
For some reason, Huo Guang felt distressed for a moment. At that moment, he subconsciously thought: He is just a 15-year-old child.
In fact, in Dahan, a 15-year-old is no longer a child, and it is enough to put it in the homes of ordinary people.
But even so, the two burdens of sending relatives and diplomacy should not be on a 15-year-old young man.
Huo Guang comforted, "Your Highness is homesick? We'll be back soon."
Liu Tanxin thought that he could go back to Dahan, but would Danyang still have a chance to see Chang'an Palace again?
Soon he stopped this thought, turned his head and said to Huo Guang: "What... I promised Lu Xuan to visit Little Wusun when I go back, look..."
Huo Guang immediately withdrew the tenderness on his face and became expressionless.
Huo Guang thought, I don't need to feel sorry for him!
At that time, it was Fan Mo in Chang'an
The wedding was held in the afternoon, and it was almost dark by the time Princess Danyang's carriage arrived at the palace.
