Chapter 477 Lip Reading
Chapter 477 Lip Reading
An envoy said in not very fluent Daxia language: "I wonder what your Highness the Princess wants?"
Xia Wanniang leaned back and lazily leaned on the back of the chair: "I don't really want anything. The most you have are cattle, sheep and horses. You can use these things to exchange for food and water."
The envoys below were furious when they heard this, and they all started discussing it with the people around them.
They were not very willing to exchange horses, but they were very happy to exchange cattle and sheep. After all, they were a nomadic people, and these things were very cost-effective for them.
Xia Wanniang did not say anything else. She knew that these people were already tempted, and the rest could be left to Xu Li and the others.
Xiao Zimu and the others couldn't help but whisper to Xia Wanniang, "Mom, will they agree?"
Xia Wanniang raised her pretty lips and whispered in his ear, "They have no choice. If they trade with us, at least they can keep some of their cattle, sheep and horses. If they don't trade, they won't be able to keep any of these things."
Xiao Zilin: "We can also trade at a lower price than usual."
Xia Wanniang looked at him with appreciation: "How smart."
Xiao Zisen looked at a tribe below, frowning slightly: "Mom."
Seeing that he had frowned, Xia Wanniang raised her hand to smooth his brows: "Why are you frowning at such a young age?"
Xiao Zisen covered his mouth with one hand and whispered in her ear, "Mom, the three tribes on the left want to trade our food for inferior goods."
Xia Wanniang turned to look at him in surprise. You have to know that when these envoys discussed, their voices were very low, and even Xiao Chiye might not be able to hear clearly what they were saying: "How did you know?"
Xiao Zisen smiled and pointed to his lips: "I can understand their lips."
Xia Wanniang found that her child had really grown up without her noticing, even exceeding her expectations.
Xiao Chiye watched the mother and son whispering to each other, and came over curiously: "Are you tired?"
Xia Wanniang shook her head and whispered to Xiao Chiye about the conversation she had just had with the children.
Xiao Chiye raised his eyebrows and looked at the children behind him: "I think it's not just one tribe that has this in mind."
Xia Wanniang smiled faintly: "Then we can only give the lowest quality things. If we give it to someone who is sick, then we will cancel the deal."
Xiao Chiye nodded, stood up and went to Xu Li and Qing Feng, whispering a few words to them.
The two turned to look at the seated envoy and said nothing more.
The envoys from various tribes began to bargain with Xu Li, hoping to exchange food and fodder for a higher price.
Xu Li and Qing Feng were both pushy people, and they felt a little sleepy watching the bargaining scene.
After sitting for a while, Xia Wanniang became bored and couldn't sit still anymore. Seeing that the children were quite interested, she said something to Xiao Chiye and got up and left.
As soon as she came out, her two followers Zhu Yao and Gu Man followed her. Now they follow her closely.
After Lai Fu knew that she was pregnant, he no longer liked to stay in her pocket, for fear that she would be tired.
But now, wherever Xia Wanniang is, it will be there and will not go anywhere else.
Even Huihui is the same. Now these little guys have become her followers and are no worse than Zhuyao and Guman.
"Madam, where are we going?" Gu Man looked at her standing in the yard for a while.
Xia Wanniang looked down at the clothes she was wearing and said, "Go back and change your clothes before going out." After saying that, she walked towards the backyard.
She is not used to people calling her princess now, but she will just accept it as it is.
Aunt Xiao saw her coming back and asked: "Mrs. Wan, are you done talking?"
Xia Wanniang shook her head: "They are still bargaining, I didn't want to get involved so I came back."
Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded: "By the way, Xu Li's parents wrote me a letter."
Xia Wanniang turned to look at her curiously: "What did Master Xu and the others say?"
Aunt Xiao: "Have you forgotten that Princess Ling'an is already on her way to get married? Old Master Xu and the others can't make it here, so they asked us to help organize the wedding for Ali."
