They immediately understood. The woman in gorgeous clothes directed the other four people to remove the fruit plate on the stone table and go to the dining room to prepare. I got up and walked directly into the bedroom. I had to experience the beautifully decorated big bed with them.
The interior furnishings are more complicated than those outside. On the wall behind the door is a row of gold hooks. The door handle is reflected yellow by the two beads on both sides of the bed. The gold door frame is inlaid with a row of ruby white beads.
On the other side of the door, which is as big as a dragon's eye, is a half-length lacquer cabinet made of maroon wood. The door is carved with a mesh-shaped hollow pattern. There is a lyre on the cabinet with a unique shape. Next to the piano is a two-foot-tall vase with an open door inside.
five purple flowers
At this time, they were filing in, lacquer plates in hand, and the smell of food and women's body odor floated in.
I jumped on the bed with one leg. The bed trembled a few times without making any sound. The fabric on the bed was cool and slippery when it touched my skin, and there was a slight glint in the texture. "What kind of fabric is this?" I asked.
He asked while stroking the bed with his hands.
At this time, they were holding lacquer trays in their hands, kicked off their shoes, and sat on the bed around me. The woman in Chinese clothes said, "This is abaca silk... The climate here is hot and humid, and bedding items are easily contaminated by moisture."
, not to mention it’s uncomfortable to sleep in, and it’s very easy to get sick, but you don’t have to worry about this kind of linen material.”
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Because abaca likes shade, is resistant to waterlogging, and has a broad texture, it is an excellent moisture barrier. If you put it on the bed, no matter how much you sweat, you will always feel refreshed."
"Aren't you afraid of sweating no matter how much you sweat? Maybe you don't know that when I sleep, I always sweat profusely. If I sweat like this, my whole body will be covered when I fall asleep."
"It depends on how much the general sweats, but I think he can handle the general situation." The woman in colorful clothes glanced at me and said.
"Well, when I leave, can I ask your White King for a piece of money and make a bed with my wives when I get back?"
She chuckled and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. I wonder how many of you are still thinking about madam and listening to the general's wishes?"
"No more, no less, only five of you." I saw what they were carrying on their plates. I had never seen the dishes before. The woman in gorgeous clothes said, "General, do you want to eat?"
I looked at her, and then at the other four. They were only covered with a piece of tulle, and all the curves of their bodies were exposed. Only she wrapped herself tightly, "The sheets are very good, but it won't be good if they are stained with dirt." I
explain
"Then, I'll ask them to bring a towel." "No need." "It's not far away. There's one in the restaurant opposite." "I think this is good for you." I pointed to the clothes on her body, "
On a hot day, we are all so refreshing, and the girl is wrapped up like this, which is a bit embarrassing." She understood, took off the outermost embroidered gauze skirt and spread it on my legs
A big red crab was held in her hand. I have never seen this before. The crab I saw has a whole lid, but this one has two clear joints on the lid, and its shape is also the same.
The biggest one I've ever seen. She held it on her hand and only showed five fingertips.
Before I asked, she said, "This is a tree crab. It doesn't live in the sea. It likes to climb trees and eats bird eggs on trees."
I withdrew my eyes from her chest. After taking off her coat, there was only a piece of bellyband left inside. It was light green and was pushed up by the two lumps of meat inside. Every part was bigger than the tree crab in her hand.
She broke off the crab shell, picked up a piece of snow-white crab meat with her thumb-like fingernails, and brought it to my mouth. "Although it is bigger than a sea crab, the taste is not very delicious. I just want the general to have a taste."
When I tasted it, there was no seafood flavor at all, but the earthy flavor of mountain poultry seemed stronger. She was right.
"Why, I came up twice, but the rooms are not in the same place. Can you tell me what's going on?"
She picked another piece into my mouth and said, "The general doesn't come here often, so of course he is confused by the maze here. If he comes more often in the future, he will naturally understand that if I explain it clearly, it will be boring."
Her tactful reply neither made me feel embarrassed nor exposed the secrets of the palace, making me embarrassed to ask further questions.
The meaning of her words is very clear: If I truly become friends with Bai Jing and become a regular customer here, I don't need to ask these questions anymore. These women are not just what they look like. I have to be careful.
"Then, can I make a guess about the layout of the palace? It's me who said it, and it's correct. It has nothing to do with you. I don't think your King Bai Jing can blame you."
She didn't say a word, she just looked at me and laughed. A slight sound came to my ears from behind her. The room was already quiet, but the sound was still hard to hear. The five women were as if nothing had happened, unaware of it.
Still doing what I was doing, but I heard
I smiled back at her, but my eyes went past the top of her ears and looked behind her.
There was the mahogany cabinet where the lyre was placed, and the purple flowers blooming in the vase. I didn't see anything.
"From the outside, this palace looks like it can't pass through two floors, but once inside, it gives people the feeling of going back and forth. This shows that the designer of this palace is really original and deceives the eyes of the people who come in. However, for this palace
General... I'm a bit childish about geography, earthworks, etc. You can't usually fool me."
I looked at her as I spoke. If there was a slight change in her eyes, I could tell that I didn't hit the point.
"General, can you... taste this," she lowered her eyelids, then raised a crystal clear object with her orchid finger, which trembled slightly like jelly in her hand, and brought it to me.
These subtle concealments of hers did not escape my eyes, and I had to take advantage of the victory to swallow the food she handed me:
"I was thinking just now that a fool would not open six gates around such a gorgeous palace and only arrange a few sergeants to stand guard at each gate. The only explanation can only be that the heavy troops are hidden in the palace.
"Interior"
She lowered her head slightly and said, "What else does the general know? You might as well tell me so that I can tell our king to change his palace according to your wishes." I finally noticed that on the opposite wall, there were several purple-red flowers.
In the gap, there was a flash of dark light
The entire wall was dotted with coin-sized black and white dots. One of the black spots was a hole. Because the light in the room was not very good and it was covered by flowers, it was difficult to spot. Who was hiding there?
