"You..." As soon as Daiyu uttered the word "you", she was interrupted by the foreign girl opposite.

When the foreign girl saw Daiyu's appearance, she was astonished. She quickly bowed and apologized, and said without a word: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know that young man was your husband-in-law. I thought——Yes, like him Only a woman from the Central Plains like you is worthy of a fairy-like character. I hope you will forgive me for being rude to you."

Well, Daiyu couldn't laugh or cry at what the foreign girl said. At first, because of the slight jealousy, she wanted to ask her to blame her, but she lost her enthusiasm in a blink of an eye.

No wonder she felt that the foreign girl sounded weird when she spoke just now. It turns out that this person's Chinese teacher is also incomprehensible.What's wrong with teaching a girl to learn how to speak like a son and a buddy? What's the point of "I'm an abrupt beauty"!

Although he stood far away, he pricked up a pair of ears, eavesdropping on Yong Yu who was talking here, listening to the girl's words.

At first, I felt that she was very insightful and reasonable, so I couldn't help but secretly nodded.Unexpectedly, when he heard her last words, Yongyu suddenly felt a little green on his forehead.

Obviously this person was still teasing her just now, why did he just back away three steps, and she started teasing his Daiyu instead?

Yongyu was thinking about whether to go forward, but he heard Daiyu say: "A fair lady, a gentleman is good, and it's human nature. Those who don't know are not guilty. I have forgotten the matter of talent, and you don't have to worry about it."

The foreign girl seemed to understand Daiyu's words, lifted her skirt, gave her a light salute, turned and left without looking at Yongyu.

Inexplicably, Yongyu became a lady: ...

Behind them, the three officials heard the two people in front of them answering each other, holding back their laughter until their cheeks ached.

Daiyu stood at the intersection and looked around, and saw that besides many foreigners in gorgeous clothes, there were also some people who were drawing on the spot with their drawing boards on their backs.

Western paintings are also very popular in the capital recently, even Xichun is a master of them.Daiyu was thinking about buying some high-quality paints for Xichun, so she waved at Yongyu, grabbed him and went to a painting booth not far away.

The fat official saw where the two were going, and hurriedly called them to stop.

Unexpectedly, Master Zhizhou stopped him with a wave.

Mr. Zhizhou stroked his two small goatees, smiled like a thief and said: "Hehe, don't bother, don't bother. Don't have a taste, don't have a taste."

The other two didn't understand what he meant for a while, but they heard Daiyu's "ah" in their ears.

When she looked up, she only saw Daiyu blushing, pulling Yongyu, and trotting back.

"What, what's the matter?" The magistrate still wanted to ask, but Daiyu stared back at him, and quickly shut his mouth.

On the other hand, Yongyu, although his face is not covered with maple forest like Daiyu's, his ears are also red.

Without saying a word, the two turned and ran away.

The chubby official was puzzled, walked quickly to the foreigner's painting booth, looked around, and finally understood why those two people were in such a state!

Speaking of which, there are obviously many well-known Western painters in this port, who paint figures, landscapes, and still lifes, all over the place.By coincidence, the art booth that Daiyu went to look at was full of nude portraits of women with no clothes on.

Even though Daiyu's cultivation was advanced and her concentration was extraordinary, she immediately blushed.

"Hurry up, put it away quickly. Didn't you say that your portraits are indecent, and public sales are strictly prohibited. If you insist on painting and selling them, you should find a gallery by yourself. In broad daylight, let people who don't know What should I do?" the fat official quickly reprimanded, and waved the foreigner to close the stall.

The foreigner also knew whether he was in someone else's territory or had to abide by the local laws, so he put away his art booth honestly and ran away in a hurry.

After being disturbed by this oolong, Daiyu and Yongyu didn't dare to wander around anymore, they just let the three officials lead them to look around.

They finally understood why the group of Persians they met first dared to swagger through the market with so much gold, silver and jewels.

It turns out that all the people who trade at this port are rich and powerful.Gold, silver and jewels are worthless before them.On the contrary, items such as silk, tea, porcelain, medicinal materials, or skilled craftsmen... Once obtained, they are not easy to reveal.

The scene on the wharf of the Guangdong port fully explains what is rare and expensive.

When gold and silver are piled up into mountains but cannot be used for eating, drinking and chewing, it is really like dung.

And when gold and silver are just stored to occupy space, accumulate dust and generate dust, but cannot hatch and lay eggs, and the wealth is rolling in, bringing more benefits, it is no different from broken copper and rotten iron.

After a whole day of shopping, when she returned to the hotel, Daiyu was too tired to walk.

Yongyu couldn't bear it, and wanted to carry her into the room.

Who knows, his hand has never touched Daiyu's slender waist.But Daiyu slapped his hand away with a "slap", rushed into the door quickly, and closed the door behind her back with a bang.

Not only is the back of his hand hot, but even his head was almost stunned by the loud noise when Daiyu closed the door: ...

After hearing the sound, Wen Zhu and Xue Yan rushed to watch the excitement, only to see Yong Yu standing in front of Dai Yu's room door with his right hand raised, motionless.

Wenzhu said in surprise: "Could it be that the prince made Miss Lin angry?"

Xueyan looked at Yongyu's expression, and was attracted by the back of his red hand, and couldn't help but fuss and said: "Ah, it looks like the girl even slapped the prince!"

"What?" Wenzhu heard that Yongyu was beaten by Daiyu, couldn't sit still any longer, ran over, hugged Yongyu, and looked up and down.

"My lord, you are hurt, and the husband is the guide to your wife. No matter how angry you are, Miss Lin can't beat you!" Wenzhu couldn't help but fight for Yongyu.

Behind the door, Daiyu, whose cheeks were burning and peach blossoms were blooming, was startled when she heard Wenzhu's words.

When did she hit him?Why doesn't she know?

Suddenly, Wenzhu was heard shouting from outside the door: "Oh, my lord, look, your hands are swollen! Hurry up, go back and apply some ointment with the servant."

Hands are swollen?

Only then did Daiyu remember that when Yongyu reached out to carry her into the room just now, she suddenly remembered the portrait of a naked woman she saw at the art booth.Physical contact and skin-to-skin kisses, which are usually considered normal, suddenly have another meaning.In desperation, she patted his hand away.

"Could it be that I struck too hard and broke his hands?" Daiyu just thought of this in her mind, but her body took the first step, and opened the door again, ignoring the pain in her legs. He rushed over, pulled Yongyu's right hand, and raised it up to his eyes to look at it inch by inch.

Oh, it really became a big hit! Before she even passed the door, she became a Hedong lion playing a husband, called, called...

Daiyu was so anxious that she stamped her feet on the spot.

Just now he was confused, thinking that Yongyu, who had offended Daiyu without realizing it, was because of his misbehavior, now seeing Daiyu's concerned eyes, he knew that he was thinking too much.

Thinking about it again, what did he want to do before Daiyu slapped his hand away.Suddenly, the five fingers of the right hand felt the soft, boneless, fragrant and warm touch when they hugged Daiyu's slender waist.

Yongyu, who had never thought about it before, even with the soft jade in his arms, did not dare to have any blasphemous thoughts, seemed to have suddenly opened his eyes, and blushed immediately.

Daiyu felt that Yongyu's warm palm suddenly became hot, and looked up suspiciously, and saw his red chin.

And in her ears, she could clearly hear Yongyu's heartbeat like thunder.

With a flash of inspiration, Daiyu threw away Yongyu's hand again, turned around and entered the room, closed the door and locked it, and the action was done in one go.

Yongyu looked at Daiyu's back when she turned and left again, knowing that she understood, bowed her head in embarrassment, coughed twice, and went back to her room.

The rest of Asparagus and Xueyan looked at each other in blank dismay, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

It was night, and officials from the Guangdong government hosted a banquet to welcome Yongyu and Daiyu.

During the banquet, exotic singing and dancing performances are naturally indispensable.

But I don’t know if Zhizhou and Zhifu have witnessed Yongyu and Daiyu’s embarrassment during the day, but the belly dancer’s stomach is covered with a thick layer of gauze; , It was a hot day, and I was wearing a vest with sleeves...

It caused all the officials at the table who didn't visit the dock together to whisper to each other, it's strange to talk about the dress of this foreigner today.

When Daiyu and Yongyu heard this, they tacitly bowed their heads together and just ate.

After the banquet ended, Yongyu accompanied Daiyu for a walk under the moonlight.

"You've worked hard today, but you've used a little too much for dinner. You just need to walk around, so don't waste your food." Yongyu said softly.

Daiyu nodded obediently, and quietly took half a step behind, taking the opportunity to hide her shadow in Yongyu's tall figure.

"I went shopping for a long time today, but I didn't buy anything for you. What do you value? I'll find time to buy it for you tomorrow." Yong Yu said again.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the ground.The buzzing of insects, accompanied by Yongyu's clear and clear voice, is a beautiful sight that has not been seen for a long time.

Daiyu was so intoxicated that she didn't hear Yongyu's question.

Yongyu talked for a long time but did not see Daiyu's answer, so he couldn't help but stop, turned around, and was about to ask her.

But Daiyu bumped her head into her arms.

"Ah~" Daiyu let out a low voice.

Yongyu's chest was hard.However, Daiyu was still distracted, so she bumped hard twice.

"What's the matter? Are you okay? Why did I look so carelessly, did it turn red?" Yongyu held Daiyu's face in his hands, bent down, and asked while looking at it.

This time, they got closer and heard each other's voices.

Daiyu felt embarrassed, so she lowered her head to avoid it.

But Yongyu hasn't seen her injury clearly, how can he let her go?He exerted more force on his hand and firmly controlled her in his arms.

The two were so close that even Daiyu could see how many eyelashes Yongyu had.

"Huh, it's okay." After confirming that Daiyu's forehead was fine, Yong Yu breathed out and finally let go.

Daiyu hurriedly took a step back, distanced themselves from each other, and suddenly looked around and said, "I wonder if you have seen the Guangdong port today, do you have any new ideas about the opening of the sea ban?"

But Yong Yu believed it was true, and replied seriously: "Opening the sea ban is not only very necessary, but also imminent and imperative."

"Oh? How do you say that?" The purpose of the two people's trip was to inspect whether the sea ban system still exists. Hearing this, Daiyu also asked seriously.

"Do you see what is being traded at our ports and wharfs? Which are the most valuable?" Yongyu asked.

Daiyu replied without thinking: "We only buy some exquisite gadgets made by foreigners, such as mirrors, combs, perfumes, cosmetics, dresses and even some strange animals."

"And what about foreigners?" Yongyu asked persuasively.

"Foreigners value our silk, tea, porcelain, medicinal materials, etc. But these are just appearances. It seems that they are more interested in our medical skills of Chinese medicine, theories of hundreds of schools, and even the craftsmanship of various craftsmen." Daiyu He pondered for a moment and replied.

Yongyu clapped his hands and said, "Exactly. Why do we only value some gadgets they make, but they value our skills, academics and talents more?"

"Isn't it because our academic and technical level is far ahead of them. What do barbarians and Luosha know?" Asparagus, who had been falling behind the two of them, couldn't help but interrupt when he saw them discussing serious matters. road.

"That's right!" Yongyu clapped his hands again, with a long-lost look in his eyes.

"Now our technology and academics are far superior to theirs. They have worked hard, even at the risk of killing their heads, to trade and learn from us. But we are not prepared at all. One is stagnant, and the other is struggling to catch up. Ten What will it be like in a year, 20 years, or 100 years?" Yongyu frowned slightly, as if he foresaw some bad future.

"However, if we continue the sea ban and don't pass on the technology to them, wouldn't it be fine?" Xueyan said.

This time it was Daiyu who shook her head and replied: "I can't prevent it. The sea has been banned for many years, except for those with ports in Guangdong, Quanzhou, and Shandong. In other places, as long as there are people who rely on the sea, how many foreigners have disappeared without a trace. Know. There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, let alone real gold and silver in front of him? Long-term imprisonment will only blind our own eyes and plug our own ears. Others have already changed, and others have already made progress. Scholars Don't leave for three days, you should look at it with admiration. Foreigners are no longer Wuxia Ammon, but we have become a dou who cannot be supported."

"The real heaven, court, Shang, country, the grandeur of a big country should be like the Tang Dynasty. Foreigners gather in the capital, and I am proud of myself." Yong Yu finally said.
