Chapter 1677 Good-looking People
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had already jumped off their horses. Seeing that the three people in the car were taking a long time to get off, they couldn't help but go forward and knock on the door.
Manbao sighed and jumped off the car. He looked around and pointed to the teahouse across from the posthouse and said, "Wait for us there."
Bai Shan turned his head to look at the teahouse and asked, "Where are you going?"
Manbao glanced at him, then pointed at Mingda and Changyu and said, "They are you," then pointed at him and himself and said, "These are us!"
Bai Shan laughed out loud and asked, "Where are we going?"
Manbao sighed and pointed to the posthouse about ten steps ahead and said, "Let's go there."
Bai Erlang, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "What about me?"
Manbao felt that since they were hosting the banquet today, it would be a shame to let the guests have fun on their own, so he said to Bai Erlang, "Take the princesses to the teahouse, order some delicious food and drinks for them, and have them sit down. We'll be there soon."
Bai Erlang held out his hand, "Money."
Manbao reached out and slapped his hand away. "It's just a meal. When did you become so stingy?"
"I just gave you the money for building the farm the other day, but I don't have any money on me now."
"How much does a meal of tea cost?"
Bai Shan had already taken out a string of money from his purse and gave it to him. He Manbao said, "Don't ask him for it. I saw Liu Huan borrowing money from him again today. Tomorrow is Double Ninth Festival. I heard that he needs to spend money on gifts for his grandparents."
Bai Erlang took the money and took Mingda and Changyu to the teahouse across the street.
Manbao and Baishan also stood in front of the inn and looked up at it together. Baishan was very curious, "You have all met Brother Yang. With such a handsome man before you, what's the point of looking at other handsome men?"
Manbao also couldn't quite understand Mingda and Changyu. In her opinion, Senior Yang was already handsome enough, and besides Senior Yang, Bai Shan, Yin Huo and others were not ugly either. There were so many good-looking people, why did they have to come and see the handsome man from Goguryeo?
But after all, they were her good friends, so she felt she had to make up for it. So after thinking for a while, she said, "It's just like you men. Even if you've seen the most beautiful woman, you'll still think that all beauties in the world have their own merits, and you can't help but look at other beauties."
Bai Shan shook his head, "I'm not like that. My appearance is just skin deep."
Manbao said: "You're lying. I don't believe there are any men in this world who don't like beautiful women."
It’s just like there is no woman in this world who doesn’t like handsome men.
The two soldiers guarding the inn saw the two men standing in front of the door, talking animatedly but refusing to enter. They couldn't help but step forward and yelled, "You, what are you doing?"
If they hadn't been well-dressed and hadn't gotten off a carriage, they would have chased them away long ago.
Manbao and Baishan finally came back to their senses. It seemed like they had been standing in front of the gate for a while.
Bai Shan immediately cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, and stepped forward to greet him. "I am Bai Shan, a student of the Imperial College. I heard that the envoy from Goguryeo is staying here. We have some matters concerning Goguryeo that we would like to consult with the envoy. Please, please let the clerk pass on the report."
After all, Chongwenguan is the prince's school, so it is not a good idea to use this name. What if the news gets out and people accuse the prince of making friends with vassal states?
Who knew that the soldier guarding the gate only glanced at them and waved his hand and said, "Go in."
Both of them: ...So casual?
Manbao couldn't help but step forward and pointed at his nose and asked, "Can I come forward without saying my name?"
The soldier asked curiously, "Why not? Just don't fight in the inn."
After saying that, he felt a little worried and added, "Also, don't cheat people out of all their money. If something goes wrong, you'll be the one who gets into trouble."
Manbao and Baishan: ...Do they look like they are trying to scam people out of their money?
But the two of them got in smoothly.
This posthouse is one of the many hotels belonging to the Honglu Temple. It is mainly inhabited by envoys from tribes such as Goguryeo, Uighurs, and Dangxiang. It was the first time for the two of them to come here. They entered the building in the front and there was a hall that led directly to the patio in the back.
After all, it was an inn, and the yard was not built very large. There were some potted plants planted in the four square courtyards, and then there were corridors leading to various places. They stood in the courtyard and looked up, and then they noticed that this inn had three floors in total. At this moment, they really didn't know where to find anyone.
Just as he was hesitating, a bearded man came down from upstairs. Bai Shan immediately stepped forward, bowed, and asked for directions.
The bearded man spoke poor Mandarin, but Bai Shan slowed down and he still understood him. When he heard that they were looking for envoys from Goguryeo, he hesitated a little, but after looking at the two of them, he turned around and took them upstairs.
When they reached the second floor, the bearded man led them to a room and pushed open the door. It was quite spacious inside, separated only by two screens. However, there were no tables and chairs, but seats. There were about ten people sitting inside, seemingly discussing something. They turned their heads when they heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Bai Shan guessed that they were Goguryeo people as soon as he saw their clothes. Man Bao glanced at their faces and paused on their faces, and he knew that they were the people Mingda and Changyu wanted to see.
She looked back and forth among the three people, and finally stared at one of them, sighing in her heart, although he was not as handsome as Senior Brother Yang, nor as cold as Senior Brother Yang, his skin was as white as cream, and he was still quite good-looking.
While Manbao was thinking, Baishan had already introduced himself to the people inside with a smile.
Originally, the dozen or so people sitting in the room didn't take Bai Shan seriously. They just stood up and saluted with a smile out of politeness and respect for the great country. When they heard that Bai Shan was a student of the Imperial College, their eyes immediately lit up and they became excited.
Seeing that Manbao was still in a daze, Bai Shan turned around slightly to block everyone's gaze, reached out and tugged at her sleeve, hinting at her with his eyes, "Master Zhou, don't you agree?"
Manbao immediately came back to his senses, not even hearing what Bai Shan said before, and nodded in response: "Yes, yes."
The Goguryeo envoy looked at Manbao with some suspicion and asked, "Is this the editor?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is Master Zhou."
The two people looked at each other in hesitation. How could it be a woman?
Can women also be officials?
Bai Shan didn't care what they thought. He took a quick look inside and asked, "Are the adults discussing something? Are we disturbing them by coming here?"
Chinese characters were the elegant language in Goguryeo, and only nobles could afford to learn them. Only nobles could become officials, so the envoys all spoke Chinese. Even if there were some differences in pronunciation, there was no problem in communication.
Doesn’t the Mandarin spoken by people from all over the country have an accent?
Bai Shan didn't want to stay in the inn. There were few of them and many people on the other side, so it would be difficult to chat. It would be better to take the three best-looking ones out to play together.
See you at 9pm
