Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 1243 Visitors from outside Beijing
We didn't take a carriage, we walked all the way, and stopped by the street to buy some pastries and other snacks for Xiaoqing to bring to Yinglan, while I walked leisurely with a fan.

While walking, there was a commotion from behind. Looking back, the officers and soldiers were dispersing the vendors on both sides, clearing the street so that the people behind could pass. Who came and made such a commotion?
I curiously pulled Xiaoqing to look around the roadside.Behind a group of Qing soldiers, a dozen or so men in fancy Tibetan uniforms walked over imposingly with their chests up and their heads raised.

The young ones among them are only in their early twenties, and the older ones are nearly sixty years old, but they are still in good health.

Their costumes are very strange, more fancy than traditional Tibetan clothes, and the accessories on their chests are also weird and exaggerated.The pectoral of the elder at the head was even more peculiar. A string of walnut-sized beads dangled on his chest. Each bead was carved with a human face, with different expressions of crying, laughing, joy, and anger, which seemed to be the appearance of all living beings.

In the snowy area where Buddhism is prevalent, a person who can wear such a pectoral must not be a simple person.I don't know what this group of people is doing, so that the officers and soldiers are so carefully served.

"Miss, who are they? They are dressed so strangely." Xiaoqing asked me in a low voice.

"They are from Tibet, you can tell by the Tibetan robes they wear."

"It's the first time I've seen people from Tibet. Why do they only wear one sleeve, and the other sleeve is so ugly?" When Xiaoqing asked, they had already walked over, and Xiaoqing lowered her head even more. The voice asked in a low voice.

I pulled her forward and explained with a smile: "In the future, you have to read more books. What they wear is related to the local climate. It is different from ours here. The weather is changeable. Even in summer, it’s cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon, so when you go out, you should dress warmly, and at noon, you can take off one sleeve, just like the way you wear it now.”

An elderly Tibetan passing by me unexpectedly turned his head to look at me and looked up and down.

As soon as he slowed down, the companions behind him all slowed down and looked at me.When the accompanying officials saw it, they came forward to say hello with a smile: "Isn't this from Ting Lu's family? Where is this going?"

I had never met this man before, and it was unexpected that he would know me.I hurriedly nodded and smiled, "Just come out and take a walk. Don't bother me if you have errands."
