Chapter 111 The Real Face
Bustling outside, these Western Region businessmen are a group of people who speak louder than the Han people and have lower quality.
Early in the morning, someone shouted on the street, and they didn't know what they were shouting.
The sound is huh huh, like summer rain hitting the lotus leaves.
Xiao Mei couldn't fall asleep, so she got dressed and stood up.
After she washed, she found that her Persian noble friend hadn't woken up yet, and she couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
The Persian aristocratic friend she met a few days ago is gentle, polite, and good-looking, but she just likes to sleep late.
Xiao Mei was hungry, so she left the small courtyard, and then went to a restaurant for breakfast by herself.
The vast majority of poor people in the Tang Dynasty had two meals a day, but the aristocratic and wealthy people still used to eat three meals a day.
Xiao Mei's stomach is naturally aristocratic. There are already many people sitting in the restaurant, all of them are from the Western Regions. They speak exaggeratedly, not only have rich facial expressions, but also keep gesticulating with their hands.
The mouth is like the mouth of a gossip woman, it is difficult to close it once it is opened.
There are also spit stars flying around.
These people from the Western Regions are completely incomparable to her noble friends, just like ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty who don't know etiquette, they are actually a bunch of rough people.
Xiao Mei was too lazy to worry about it, and quietly waited for the boss to serve the food.
However, the boss quickly served food to others, but he didn't serve food to Xiao Mei for a long time. Many customers who came later also started to eat first.
Xiao Mei was angry in her heart, but she also knew that at this time she could not conflict with these people from the Western Regions, so she suppressed her anger and was about to leave. At this time, the shopkeeper who was trying to settle the accounts suddenly reached out to stop Xiao Mei.
"You woman, come here for breakfast early in the morning, you will bring us bad luck, so you have to make it up to us."
It turned out that people had already seen that she was a woman.
Xiao Mei felt ashamed, and then said angrily: "I came to take care of your business, but you actually said that I would bring you bad luck. How can there be such a reason in the world?"
"You don't understand. It's like this in my hometown. Women don't come out to meet other people in the morning, otherwise it will bring bad luck. You... Hurry up and lose money, or don't blame us for being rude."
Xiao Mei didn't know whether the shopkeeper was telling the truth or was trying to blackmail her.
It should be mostly the latter, because the shopkeeper didn't serve her food from the beginning, which means that the old man had schemes from the beginning.
Xiao Mei was stubborn, she said coldly: "This is Datang, I have never heard of your broken rules, so your rules are not valid for me."
The shopkeeper snorted coldly, and a group of people from the Western Regions immediately gathered around, not only the waiters in the restaurant, but also the customers who were eating. They put down their bowls and chopsticks, and looked at Xiao Mei with unfriendly expressions.
There were no patrolling Datang agents nearby, not even a single Han Chinese.
Xiao Mei looked around and saw that everyone was from the Western Regions, she immediately lost her confidence.
"You... just stop, I will lose money, how much will I lose?"
After a while, after paying one hundred dollars, Xiao Mei didn't dare to eat outside, and went back to her friend's yard in a state of embarrassment.
That Persian nobleman was still sleeping, Xiao Mei couldn't help feeling a dark cloud in her heart.
She originally planned to go to Persia to see the outside world, but from the exchange just now, people from the Western Regions and Persians are not more polite and charming than Han people.
If she really went to Persia, I'm afraid it will be worse than the situation just now.
Whenever something like that happens again, she can do nothing but spend money to eliminate the disaster.
But can she spend the money once, and can she spend the money ten times?
Where did she get so much money?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mei felt that she was thinking about the problem too simply, the so-called Persia was not so beautiful at all.
The people from the Western Regions outside were still yelling. They spoke as if they were arguing. No one cared about the people around them. Some sang loudly, some shook the noodle oil, and some hugged the woman and laughed.
This is the true face of Changxinfang.
Before Xiao Mei came to Changxinfang, there were actually many rumors about Changxinfang in Chang'an. They all said that Changxinfang was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the people from the Western Regions were also very hospitable.
Only now did she know that these words were lies and were not trustworthy at all.
She sat down, her stomach growling, she thought for a long time, thought of Xiao Yu, thought of Li Yun, but she finally didn't have the courage to go to Persia.
With a sigh in her heart, she planned to wait for her noble friend to wake up before saying goodbye to him.
About an hour later, the sun rose high, and Xiao Mei's Persian aristocratic friend woke up.
This aristocratic friend is called Horzan, and he is still very good-looking, with big eyes and long eyelashes, which are easy to discharge.
But Xiao Mei didn't feel it, and that flamboyant person often appeared in her heart.
Xiao Mei then told Huo Erzan about her plan.
Huoerzan straightened his body violently, then his face changed drastically, he said angrily to Xiao Mei: "You promised me, why do you go back on it now?"
Xiao Mei apologized again and again.
But Huorzan was still dissatisfied. He stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Mei's arm, and then said: "No, you can't keep your word. In Persia, everyone is very trustworthy."
If it were a day ago, Xiao Mei might really believe it.
But after seeing the attitude of people from the Western Regions in Changxinfang, she no longer has the kind and polite filter she used to treat the Western Regions, or Persia.
"Horzan, you scratched me, let me go."
Xiao Mei spoke with a little anger.
Hearing this, Huo Zan let go of his hand, and then knelt down with a snap, "Xiao Mei, don't you understand my intentions after so many days? I like you, and I want to take you to my Look at the blue sky and white clouds in my hometown."
Xiao Mei was taken aback, she really didn't see it, she thought they were just ordinary friends.
"You're mistaken, Huorzan, I don't like you, I already have someone I like in my heart."
"Xiao Mei, don't say such things just to reject me. If you don't want to go to Persia, then I can stay in Chang'an and we can get married, how about it?"
Xiao Mei took two steps back, she felt the paranoia in Huoer Zan's words.
"No, I really don't like you, Horzan, I'm leaving, take care."
After saying that, she was about to leave, but Huoer Zan stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Mei's hand, "Are you kidding me? I spent several days with you, do you think I was joking with you? You Must I be compensated?"
Xiao Mei paused slightly, she never expected Huoer Zan to have such an attitude.
This...is this still a nobleman?
But she knew the truth that people had to bow their heads under the roof, so she asked, "What do you want? One hundred dollars, or two hundred dollars?"
"Money, no, I want you, I want you to stay with me for ten days."
Xiao Mei's complexion changed drastically. Seeing Horzan's greedy eyes, she realized that she was really in danger this time.
