One of the rooms behind the dining table is the kitchen, which, in Liu Yong's view, is more like the modern pattern of later generations.

Maria invited Liu Yong and others to sit on the sofa, which was the first time Liu Yong came to Da Song to make a sofa. This kind of thing is not popular in the Great Song Dynasty. But at this time, the sofa is just a long chair with cushions, and the comfort is still much worse.

When Liu Yong's people were seated, Maria asked the maid to go to the street to buy steaks, and there was cheese, bread, and red wine.

The little maid went, and Maria began to talk to Liu Yong and the others. Everything was translated by Muhammad the Younger.

When Maria learned that these three beauties of the Great Song Dynasty were Liu Yong's wives, she was surprised that only the king and some royal relatives would have more than one wife in their place. There are only three at most. She asked Ouyang Lanlan if Liu Yong was a relative of the emperor in the Great Song Dynasty.

Ouyang Lanlan laughed, and Yun'er and Su Erniang also laughed.

Ouyang Lanlan said: "No, my husband is just an ordinary person in the Great Song Dynasty, but my husband has been the highest official of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

When Maria heard this, she was not so surprised, as the highest governor of the Great Song Dynasty, it was no problem to marry three wives.

But later, when she heard that Liu Yong had two wives in Da Song's house, Maria was surprised again.

But surprise is surprise, her yearning for Da Song is getting heavier and heavier. It's just that his father doesn't go to the Great Song Dynasty to do business. She was a little disappointed.

After Maria finished asking, it was Liu Yong's turn to ask. He saw that Maria was as open as most European girls. Of course, the openness here does not refer to that aspect, but to say that Maria is more extroverted, unlike the women of the Great Song Dynasty who are more reserved.

Entertaining friends, including men, at home without the consent of their elders was not common in the Great Song Dynasty.

But the women of the Great Song Dynasty are also very open, but they are still not as good as these women in the West.

Liu Yong asked him where his hometown was, and she said that he was from Milan. Liu Yong knew that Milan was a city in later Italy. A cosmopolitan fashion metropolis. Very famous.

Liu Yong asked Maria again, "Then your father is in the business of selling goods from here to Rome, right?" ”

Muhammad the Younger translated.

Maria nodded and said, "Yes, my father's business is to sell goods from the Great Song people to Rome, and then from Rome to other parts of the empire. ”

Translated by Muhammad Jr. to Liu Yong.

Liu Yong nodded, and asked again, "Isn't it very dangerous along the way?" He knew that Europe at this time was in an extremely barbaric and dark phase, and there must have been many robbers and robbers on the road.

Muhammad the Younger translated Liu Yong's words to Mary.

"Well, you're absolutely right. Every time my father sold goods, he died. This sentence was translated by Muhammad Jr. to Liu Yong. It's just that he added the idiom Nine Deaths and One Life.

This little guy is not simple, and everyone who stays in the Great Song Dynasty will have idioms.

Liu Yong asked, "Then aren't you worried about your father?" ”

Muhammad the Younger translated it to Mary, who laughed and said, "I have two brothers." They are all swordsmanship. There were also a dozen guards on the road, and they were generally fine. ”

Muhammad the Younger translated Mary's words to Liu Yong.

Liu Yong nodded, in fact, he had also encountered such dangers, such as the detour from Meizhou City to Xixia, which was a life of nine deaths.

"And I pray to God every day for the blessing of my father and brothers." Maria added.

Little Muhammad translated to Liu Yong: "Master, she said that she prayed every day. Bless her father and brothers. He omitted the word God from his words, because he did not believe in God, so he did not say it.

At this time, the maid bought the steak back, a total of Wu Fen, and there were exactly five people here. If she wants to accompany the guests, she will let the maid do it.

The five of them just waited to eat.

Liu Yong was still more interested in Europe now, so he asked Maria many trivial topics. For example, what kind of farmers they are and how much food they can grow each year. Also, how they fought the war there, and so on.

Some Mary knew and some didn't. She told her what she knew. Speaking of black-bottomed disease, Mary's pretty little face became whiter.

Finally, she said, "I don't like the empire at all now. ”

Little Muhammad translated it for Liu Yong.

"I like Da Song, you see how beautiful you are dressed, especially these silks, they are simply beautiful beyond words. In our empire, only kings can wear these silks! Maria said.

Little Muhammad translated it for Liu Yong.

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Next time I come, I'll ask your sister Ouyang Lanlan to send you some good silk." ”

Muhammad the Younger translated it for Mary.

When Mary heard it, she danced with joy. And the skirt she wore was made of Da Song's silk, but it was only the lowest-grade silk.

After talking for a long time, Liu Yong did not know Mary's age, so he asked little Muhammad to ask.

Muhammad the Younger asked Mary: "My master asked you how old you are." ”

After hearing this, Maria smiled and said to Liu Yong, "I am seventeen years old this year. ”

But in Liu Yong's eyes, he didn't look like it, but he forgot one thing, that is, Europeans are generally precocious.

Little Muhammad translated it for Liu Yong. Ouyang Lanlan and Yun'er, Su Erniang also heard it. At the age of Da Song, it was time to get married, so Yun'er asked, "May I ask Sister Maria, didn't your father let you get married?" ”

Little Muhammad translated the words of Bian Yun'er to Maria, and Mary smiled slightly, her snow-white face flushed, and she was a little shy.

Mary laughed, "Someone proposed to me, and my father agreed, but I didn't. ”

This Yun'er doesn't understand, isn't marriage all the order of parents and the words of the matchmaker? Why does she say she doesn't agree?

Then she asked, "Sister Mary, don't you listen to your father?" ”

Muhammad the Younger translated Yun'er's words again for Mary.

Mary smiled and said, "Marriage is my own business, and my father cannot make decisions for me." ”

Could it be that Europe at that time was all about free love? It's possible, but it's definitely the right thing. Liu Yong thought in his heart.

However, Maria's words still shocked Yun'er, Ouyang Lanlan, and Su Erniang.
