Following Queen Beatrice's arrival in the capital, several kings or princes from small Western countries arrived one after another.
Although these countries are not large, they have rich mineral resources and have been doing business with Da Qi.
I was invited here this time, firstly, in the hope of further improving relations with Da Qi, and secondly, I wanted to come and see in person what scarce commodities Da Qi has in my country, as well as their prices, to facilitate further transactions in the future.
For a time, Westerners could be seen everywhere in the prosperous areas of the capital.
Some of these people have blond hair and blue eyes, and some have dark skin. In the eyes of many children, they are like monsters.
If someone unexpectedly meets a group of Westerners on the street, he will have nightmares for half the night when he returns home.
As a result, the number of children on the streets decreased visibly, and they all hid at home and dared not go out.
For the safety of these Westerners, the Yulin Guards were so busy that even their rest days were cancelled.
I accompanied this group of Westerners shopping all day long, and everyone's hands were full of things.
"You don't know, those Westerners' eyes come in all different colors. It's scary when they suddenly look at each other."
"Yes, they spoke in a gibberish way and I couldn't understand a word they said."
"You're wrong. Westerners are different from us. They don't use characters."
"If we don't have words, what can we use?"
"It's not necessary anyway."
"Those Westerners were all like country bumpkins, curious about everything they saw and asking questions all the time.
"The people sent by the Honglu Temple talk until their throats are hoarse all day long."
"They want to try everything they see!"
“It’s like a country bumpkin coming to town!”
“That’s different, the country bumpkins don’t have as much money as they do.
"Didn't you see? Those people's hands and bodies were all covered in precious stones. When the sun shone on them, their bodies shone brightly, blinding me."
"Otherwise, we'd have to protect them every day! Otherwise, with their stupid looks, they'd have been robbed of everything."
…
On this day, the emperor held a banquet in the palace to entertain the kings and envoys from various Western countries, so the talents of the Yulin Guard finally had time to rest for a day.
So a few people who had a good relationship with each other made an appointment to come and see Ye Laosi together.
After this period of recuperation, Ye Laosi's injuries have almost healed.
However, Ye Qingshan was afraid that he would be tired, so he sent someone to tell him not to rush back and to wait a few days.
So after everyone arrived and confirmed that Ye Laosi was in good health, they began to talk to him about these Westerners.
"Fortunately you haven't come back yet, otherwise I would be exhausted to death."
"Those Westerners, all tall and strong, acted like animals. They walked around the streets all day and bought so many things without feeling tired."
"Of course they're not tired. After all, they don't have to carry the groceries themselves. We're the only ones who are tired!"
"That's right, and these Westerners are really rich. You can easily find silver coins of all sizes on them."
"Silver coins are nothing. I even saw a big, stupid guy using gold coins to buy wontons."
"Wouldn't the stall owner be terrified?"
"The stall owner was so angry that he wanted to beat him up and report him to the police. He thought he was trying to fool people with fake goods!"
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.
Ye Lao Si also laughed, and then said: "Although you all say that you are very tired, I really envy you.
"I have been lying in bed for the past few days to recuperate, and I was only recently able to get out of bed and walk around in the yard.
“If I move a little, I feel like my whole body is rusting.
"If you don't give me something to do, I'm going to go crazy."
"Then go talk to General Ye. Whether you can go back or not is just a matter of a word from him."
"That's right, isn't General Ye your cousin? There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lao Si waved his hands repeatedly: "Stop talking like that.
"Brother Qingshan is indeed my cousin. I won't hide it from you all, I was able to join the Imperial Guards thanks to his connections.
"But in fact, our first meeting wasn't much earlier than your first meeting with him.
"Besides, I can't rely on my cousin for my whole life!"
Upon hearing this, Brother Ma suddenly patted Ye Laosi’s shoulder and said, “Boy, we are not the kind of people who mind these things.
"We have all witnessed how you behave.
"You almost lost your life this time, and no one dares to say anything bad about you.
"Don't worry. If anyone dares to use this to criticize you after we get back, we brothers will be the first to disagree."
"That's right, you've tried so hard, so what if you're related to General Ye?"
"Don't worry, we brothers will definitely support you."
Everyone was talking at once to comfort each other, and their words were rough but true, which made Ye Laosi feel warm in his heart.
As everyone was talking about this, the curtain at the door swayed and a little head with two buns came in.
Then, there was another movement under the curtain, and a big furry head popped in.
The ones who came were Qingtian and Xiaoye.
"Uncle Si, my mother asked you to invite everyone to stay for dinner."
When the people in the room heard this, they were silent at first, and then they started speaking.
"Oh, how embarrassing."
"Isn't this too much trouble for the family?"
"We are just here to visit the patient..."
Everyone was beating around the bush and saying sorry, but no one was willing to refuse directly.
