"yes."
"Husband, let me go with you." Yu Zheng volunteered.
"Okay." Shangguan Ziqi thought about it and nodded.
The lady knew more than he did, and perhaps was better able to communicate with others.
"Princess, please take us with you. We also want to go ashore and take a look." Chunhua begged.
They came out here just to broaden their horizons. If they stayed on the boat, they wouldn't see anything.
Yu Zheng thought about it and nodded.
Their guards were all skilled in martial arts. She had never heard of Indians being good at martial arts before, but if a conflict really occurred, they would be able to protect themselves.
Shangguan Ziqi asked the sailors to lower a small boat.
The boat is actually not too small and can hold twenty people without sinking.
He asked several guards to move some things onto the boat, preparing to use their unique merchandise to open up the situation.
Shangguan Ziqi, Yu Yuzheng, the four sisters of the Chun family and eight guards boarded a small boat and slowly sailed towards the shore.
On the beach, several dark-skinned locals were mending fishing nets. They had already seen the large ship approaching from afar.
Shangguan Ziqi and the others also saw the people here clearly. They looked very different from them, but also different from the foreigners that Dawei had seen before.
But since everyone had heard Yu Zheng's talk in advance, no one showed any sign of abnormality.
The boat slowly approached the shore and they got off.
The locals who were mending fishing nets stopped what they were doing and stared at them getting off the boat.
The locals saw that the people coming off the boat looked completely different from them.
His skin is yellow and his facial features are very different from theirs.
But these people were only stunned for a short while, and then they simultaneously picked up the fishing gear at hand and surrounded Shang Guan Ziqi and others, as if they were ready to take action.
"We have no ill intentions." Shangguan Ziqi immediately opened his empty hands and signaled the guards to put away their weapons.
Those people didn't really take action, they just blocked the road, holding their tools tightly in their hands, ready to take action at any time.
They were talking, but Shangguan Ziqi and others couldn't understand them at all.
I had to use gestures to convey the message.
Shangguan Ziqi makes a gesture of eating.
He pointed to the shore again.
"We just went ashore to exchange for some food."
Several local people did not understand what Shangguanziqi meant at first.
Shangguan Ziqi was trying hard to play the lute to a cow.
Yu Zheng saw that the locals could not understand what Shangguan Ziqi meant.
I know that it’s very difficult to communicate because of the language barrier.
Can only give some benefits.
She asked Chunye to bring out a few white porcelain bowls and give them to these people.
The locals looked at each other, not daring to take it, and all looked at an old man.
Chunye stretched out his hand again, motioning for the old man to take it.
Seeing that they had no ill intentions, the old man reached out and took the bowl from Chunye's hand.
The old man had never seen such a white jar and looked at it over and over again.
Chunye took another bowl, scooped a bowl of sea water, and pretended to drink water for them to see.
Only then did they understand what the thing in their hands was used for.
Everyone was very happy.
They all solemnly put the bowls in their hands into their arms.
Later they made way for Yu Zheng and the others to go ashore.
At the same time, they looked out to sea. The ships were so huge. They had never seen such huge ships in their lives.
"Hurry, let's go tell Mr. Ajay Malwa that there are a lot of big ships here." Seeing them walking away, the old man immediately said to the people around him.
A few fishermen waited until Shangguan Ziqi and his companions were far away, and then left in a hurry.
Shangguan Ziqi and others went ashore and were treated like monkeys by the locals along the way.
But they did not stop for long, but continued along the road.
As they guessed, there are usually towns by the sea.
They walked for about half an hour and arrived at a relatively large city.
This shows that the place where they landed was a prosperous place.
There are many shops on the street, selling all kinds of things.
Moreover, Yu Zheng also saw a few people wearing clothes different from those of the locals.
Especially like the Arabs she knew.
Is there overseas trade here?
It seems they were right to come out.
They walked down the street and passers-by stopped to watch them go by.
Just like when the foreigners entered the Wei Dynasty.
However, they did not care about the views of these people, which was already expected.
They looked at the shops on the street.
They also went into a few stores to look around.
When the shop owner saw such a group of strange people coming in, he was frightened. But when he saw that they had no ill intentions and were just looking at the goods in the store, he boldly went up to them and wanted to greet them, but because of the language barrier, he could not communicate.
But Yu Zheng has a solution.
She picked up a box of spices and signaled to the shopkeeper that she wanted this.
The queen took out some change from her bosom and motioned for the shopkeeper to accept it, but the amount of silver she took out was not much.
If the store owner accepts it, it means she gave enough money.
Silver is a universal currency. Even if the shape is different, the shopkeeper will definitely recognize that what she took out is silver.
When the shopkeeper saw that Yu Yuzheng was a woman, he put away his fright, took a small piece of silver from her hand, and asked her to put away the box of spices.
Once they successfully buy the first item, they will know what to do next.
After they bought a lot of things they had never seen before on a street, they had just come out of a jewelry store when they were stopped by a group of people dressed in luxurious clothes.
One of them, a middle-aged man who looked to be about 40 years old, took a few steps forward and stood in front of the chessboard.
They also politely performed the local custom of Namaste.
He said "Namaste (Hello)".
But Shangguan Ziqi didn't understand.
But he also knew that the other party was bowing to him, so he also bowed, a gesture commonly used by the Wei Dynasty.
The queen played chess with gestures.
He pointed to the horizon, then pointed in the direction of the sea, and then showed the things held by several guards to the man in front of him.
Yu Zheng took out the silver and made a gesture of exchanging.
From the clothes a person wears, one can tell whether he is born into a wealthy family.
The most obvious feature was that he wore precious ornaments on his body and hands.
The man in middle-aged probably understood what they meant.
They came from far away places and wanted to exchange what they had for money.
The man in middle hair is Ajay Malwa, the manager of this place whom the fishermen had just informed.
He is also the head of the largest Malwa family here.
When Shangguan Ziqi showed the goods he brought ashore, Ajayi looked carefully at the things in the guards' hands.
His eyes were very bright when he looked at the soft and bright silk.
Shangguan Ziqi took a maroon robe on the spot, stepped back a little, and draped it over Ajay.
Ajay reached out and touched the smooth satin surface. It felt so comfortable.
Yu Yuzheng saw the fascination on his face and knew that he liked it very much.
She asked a guard to open the small wooden box he was carrying.
Inside is an exquisite porcelain ornament.
The guard took it out carefully.
On the vase is a beautiful pattern of a magpie climbing a branch.
When the entire vase was revealed, all the surrounding light seemed to be captured by this porcelain vase in an instant.
This is a thin-necked vase with sky-blue glaze. The body of the vase is as slender as a standing beauty, and the glaze surface has a watery luster.
The most amazing thing is the picture of a magpie climbing a branch on the bottle.
The three magpies are lifelike, their feathers are not painted but inlaid with extremely fine silver threads, and each feather gleams faintly in the sun.
The plum branches under the magpie's feet are winding and stretching, with a few red plum blossoms dotted on the branches. The stamens are actually inlaid with tiny rubies. When the wind blows, it seems as if you can smell the subtle fragrance floating in the air.
"This...how is this possible?" Ajay widened his eyes and stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he did not dare to touch it, for fear of desecrating this divine object.
Passersby also stopped and quickly a group of people gathered around.
Some people gasped, some whispered in amazement, and some devout believers put their hands together, as if they had seen a holy object bestowed by the gods.
"It...it makes a sound! I heard it." A child with particularly sensitive ears suddenly said.
