Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

Yongyu got up with a shy face, and spoke boldly, just said, "I beg Grandma Huang to set a date, Yu'er will—"

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, someone suddenly stood up and interrupted: "No! I don't agree!"

no?Daiyu raised her brows high, and looked around after hearing the reputation, and she was about to catch this ignorant and spoiling person.

Who ever thought that the person who spoke was actually Niu Yun.

Yongyu was also furious immediately, thinking where did he come from so stupefied that he dared to break ground on his Yu Taisui?

Glaring at the past, he met Niu Yun's aggrieved and wrinkled face.Yongyu vented his pent-up anger.

With a child, how do you vent your anger?

Daiyu was the same, seeing that it was Niu Yun who was speaking, she frowned, and simply walked over, hugged her, and teased her like a child: "What's wrong with Princess Fifteen? Did the Ninth Prince make you angry? "

The Ninth Prince, who was eating while watching the performance, suddenly spit out a mouthful of hot wine, quickly wiped it with his sleeve, and argued: "Don't do my business, Miss Lin can't wrong a good person!"

The empress ignored what he said, pointed to his stained sleeves stained with wine, and said, "There are no rules! How can you set an example for your younger brothers, sisters, and all people in the world if you behave like an imposing prince?"

However, the Ninth Prince also often went out of the palace recently, imitating those flirtatious talents in Yashe, a little carried away, and even showed his secrets in front of the queen mother, hurriedly sat upright, bowed his head, and dared not even eat have eaten.

Xichun was sitting next to Niu Yun, just opposite the Ninth Prince, seeing this, couldn't help but chuckle.

But it was also heard by the Ninth Prince.

Although the Ninth Prince lowered his head, he still looked at Xi Chun several times.

Here Niu Yun saw that everyone's attention suddenly turned to his elder brother, and he pursed his mouth, blinked his eyes, and was about to cry, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Daiyu panicked all of a sudden, what are you talking about?Holding Niu Yun in his arms is a good way to coax him.

Even the emperor was whispering to Prince Xian and Lin Ruhai, so he couldn't help but look here several times.

Niu Yun saw that finally everyone was willing to listen to her again, so he said slowly: "Why can Yongyu accompany Sister Lin to Ping'an Prefecture and Nanyang with her. I am an aunt, but I can only stay in the In the palace? I also want to go to Nanyang with Sister Lin!"

It turned out that it was still for the matter of going to Nanyang!

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard Niu Yun's childish words.

Princess Xian was the first to speak: "Princess Fifteen, that's not what you said. Although Yu'er is your nephew, he is already very old. How about you? He is only half his age. Don't talk about Nanyang. Well, even the imperial city has only been out a few times. Your body is still so weak, how can your father and mother be at ease!"

"It is precisely because I have never been out that I need to walk more. If it is true what the princess said, you will always use me as an excuse for being young and ignorant, and I have never been out. Wouldn't it be possible for me to never go out!" Niu Yun Do not follow the Tao.

"The princess's words are unreasonable!" Yongyu was not moved by Niu Yun's nonsense.

"Although the Empress is waiting to stop you from going out today, in a few years, I'm afraid that if you don't want to go out, the Empress will still have to chase you away!" Yongyu's evil intentions came, and he openly made fun of Niu Yun.

However, Niu Yun was still young, so he didn't realize the meaning behind these words, and he still wanted to ask: "How can it be done in a few years? Then can you wait for me for a few years before going to Nanyang?"

"Ahem, that can't be done!" Yongyu shook his head like a rattle, and hurriedly said, "I, I can't wait!"

"Bah!" Daiyu on the opposite side couldn't bear it any longer, spat at Yongyu, gave him a sideways glance, put his arm around Niu Yun's shoulder, and said, "Don't listen to what he says! This time, I'm going to Nanyang, Ya She has no one to take care of her! Mistress just gave birth, sister Yinglian also has important matters, Huo Qiong can't sit still, only the princess can bear the heavy responsibility."

"You, you said you want to give Yashe to me?" Niu Yun asked, pointing at the tip of his nose in disbelief.

"Naturally. The princess is really wronged to be the master of Yashe, and please condescend to us for the sake of our sisterhood!" Daiyu said.

Niu Yun blushed suddenly, and said at a loss: "I, I can't. Then, there are too, too many people, I, I..."

When Niu Yun got nervous, his old habit of stuttering recurred.

The embarrassment made everyone laugh again.

In the end, it was Daiyu who held the hands of Xichun and Niu Yun one by one, and solemnly entrusted her to entrust Yashe to them during the time she left for Nanyang.

Niu Yun and Xichun nodded at the same time, they both made up their minds to make this elegant house run to a higher level!

........................

In a blink of an eye, it was already summer.

All arrangements for Daiyu's trip to Nanyang have been made.The accompanying officials, soldiers and items are all ready, and even the wind direction is just right.

And Lin's shop is fully prepared.

Daiyu went to see Kui Boyun.Kui Boyun also said that everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind to set off.

In this way, Daiyu and Yongyu entered the palace together and asked for an emissary.

In the imperial study room, the emperor was leaning on the Longshu table, his expression dejected.Trapped in the dragon robe, compared to the last time they met at the Qionglin Banquet, they turned out to be completely different people!

Daiyu was summoned inside, at first she didn't dare to raise her head, but after she was summoned, Fang secretly took a look.

She was terrified at the first glance!

This is clearly, clearly not a sign!

Daiyu calculated the time in her heart again.That's right, that's right, the emperor passed away long ago at this time in the previous life, even Yuan Chun was probably pregnant.

But now, the emperor is still in power, and the fourth prince is still in the residence despite being highly valued.And Yuan Chun is still waiting in the boudoir, and the horoscope has not been written yet!

However, judging by the current situation of the old emperor, it is already exhausted, but it is nothing but dryness.After all, some things are all deterministic and cannot be completely changed, right?Daiyu thought about it.

Suddenly there was a thick, suppressed coughing sound from the dragon chair, which made people feel uncomfortable, let alone the person who was tortured by coughing up phlegm.

Yongyu never expected that the emperor was already so seriously ill, and he didn't care about the distinction between superiority and inferiority. He rushed to the dragon chair, supported the emperor, and asked with concern: "Grandfather, grandfather, are you okay?"

"Ahem! Ahem!" After a long time, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes signaled Yongyu to call Daiyu up.

Yongyu waved for Daiyu to come forward.

With her head down, Daiyu walked to the bottom of the dragon chair in small steps, and knelt down beside the footrest.

The emperor held Yongyu's hand, and beckoned Daiyu to look up.

Daiyu raised her head and handed her hand to the emperor.

The emperor clasped the two of her hands together, and then reluctantly said: "I'm afraid I won't see your wedding."

"Grandfather!" Yongyu cried out with tears when the emperor said this.

The emperor waved his hand, and said again: "Now I can't hide my illness from anyone. Your father knows about it."

But it refers to Lin Ruhai and Prince Xian.

"After I——, there must be turmoil in the capital. For your uncle's sake, and also for your father's sake, you should set off southward tomorrow!" said the emperor.

But Yongyu refused, and resisted the decree on the spot: "Yu'er doesn't agree. Not to mention whether Grandpa Huang is still there... Anyway, Yu'er will also be by your side."

Daiyu couldn't intervene, but shook her head to express that she didn't want to leave either.

The emperor stroked the top of Yongyu's head, and said with infinite kindness: "There is always a banquet in the world. Yu'er, you are proficient in Buddhism, how can you not see through this matter? Even if you are by your side, what can you do? Why don't you replace me?" Grandpa Huang took a good look at the scenery of the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the prosperity of the peaceful and prosperous age. You have to watch for Grandpa Huang what he can't see, what you have never seen before. You have to guard this country for Grandpa Huang."

It's the dying tone!

Both Yongyu and Daiyu couldn't bear it any longer, tears rolled down their eyes.

...............

The sun was dim, and ravens were circling overhead.

With his back to Daiyu, Yongyu stood with his head bowed in the corner of the high palace wall, his lonely back stretched for a long time.

Daiyu stood behind him, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

The most powerless is life and death.

The palace lanterns were lit up one by one.Young eunuchs passing by saw Yongyu and Daiyu standing here, saluted from a distance, and moved over against the base of the wall.

There was the sound of beating watchtowers, and the palace gate was about to be locked.If you don't go out, you will be locked in the palace.

Daiyu took a step forward and called out in a low voice, "Yongyu."

She never called him by his first name.Or the son of the world, or the little prince, or the brother who is as close as Yu, naughty as plaster, never has the word "Yong Yu".

Yongyu was shocked all over, and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away his tears.However, the hand stopped in mid-air.

"We won't go to Nanyang anymore, we'll just stay in the capital. No matter how bad it is, let's pretend to go outside for a walk, and come back when we have something to do." Daiyu said, holding back her distress.

"No." Yongyu finally spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, like a carpenter polishing the edges and corners of furniture with a file.

"We're going. There are thousands of miles of land, prosperity and peace, someone must take a look at it for Grandpa Huang." Yongyu said, turned around, and held Daiyu's hand regardless of the mottled tears on his face, solemnly said, " There are thousands of miles of land and prosperity and peace, and there must always be someone to protect it. Grandpa Huang has exhausted his whole life, and will leave it to us in the future."

"Yu'er, are you willing to join me?" Yongyu asked foolishly.

"Fool. It's all us, how can we divide between you and me? Not only are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains difficult to cross, don't we all have to cross them? , you go with me. Me, too." Daiyu said.

Dark clouds cover the full moon, but there is always a time when the wind blows it away.

The clear light shines on the earth again.

In the corner of the palace wall, there were two people who depended on each other, their figures gathered together and became one person.

...............

Early the next morning, during the court meeting, women from Daiyu District also entered the Golden Palace.

Against the backdrop of the bright red official uniforms of the fourth-rank female officials, Daiyu's temperament became more and more out of the world, ethereal and unconventional.

For the first time, Yong Yu also put on his prince's clothes, and stood side by side with Dai Yu in the hall.

The orchid and jade trees are shining together, and the swallows in Yuhuan are sighing.

Sitting high on the throne, the emperor looked at the pair of Bi people in front of him, and rarely smiled. With a wave of his hand, an eunuch began to read out the imperial edict.

"Yongyu, the son of the virtuous prince, is the grandson of the No. 13 son of Emperor Kaosheng Zuren, and my nephew and grandson. In his life, he never slack in his work; he reads the cardinal's meticulousness, and sees his demeanor calmly. He is handsome and diligent in learning, and possesses talents. Now he is ordered to go to the oceans to promote the prestige of our country. The merits are in the community, and he should be rewarded. Specially awarded the book treasure, Make you the King of Xiaoyao, and you will never be replaced."

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Yongyu never expected that the grandpa of the emperor would suddenly grant him a title, and he was not an uncle or marquis, but a hereditary prince who came up with the name "Xiaoyao Wang".The tears that I thought had been shed all of a sudden suddenly wanted to burst out of my eyes.

Prince Xian stood on one side, and did not expect the emperor to make such a move.He is only Yongyu's legitimate son, and the title of prince is also hereditary, so Yongyu must be a prince no matter what.But Xiaoyao Wang——he and his father had hoped for a lifetime, but the wish hadn't come true, so the fourth uncle helped Yu'er realize it.

Prince Xian raised his head, looked at the old man on the dragon chair who was getting old and hadn't seen a smile for a long time, and couldn't help but be dazzled.

The ministers were even more arguing.

You must know that the princes who are as old as Yongyu have not yet lived in separate residences, let alone entrusted with titles.Isn't the emperor's move alluding to the position of Dabao?

The first one with a bad face was the Fourth Prince.

However, the fourth prince changed his mind and thought again, recently, when he was sick, when he met the king, what his father said to him clearly made him rely more on Lin Ruhai and Prince Xian for his actions in the future.He also said that brothers are not all enemies, like him and the thirteenth brother, let himself befriend Yongyu.

After all, he is the father's own son.No matter how favored Yong Yu was, he was still just a nephew.

By the way, go to Southeast Asia!Seeing that his father's time was approaching, but at this time he had to force Yongyu to go to Nanyang, and let him go with Lin Ruhai's daughter.Although he was sealed as the Happy King——

The fourth prince remembered the word "Xiaoyao Wang" and finally understood the emperor's intention.The haze disappeared from his face, he smiled and congratulated Yongyu.And when he looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, there was finally a strong father-son affection in his eyes again.

Before the courtiers could say their congratulations, the eunuch followed up with another decree, ordering the envoy Daiyu to leave in a few days.

Daiyu took the order and withdrew side by side with Yongyu.

The morning sun shone on the two of them, in stark contrast to the lifeless dragon chair.

Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu's leaving back, and sighed in his heart: "Happy and happy, my son, I hope you really live a happy life."

...............

Not to mention how Daiyu and Yongyu accepted the congratulations of everyone and prepared to go home, and said that no one can violate the imperial decree.

Early in the morning of the second day, many people gathered at the pier of the canal to send Daiyu off respectfully and set off forever.Ying Miaoyang, Yingchun, Xichun, Fengjie, Niu Yun and Huo Qiong bid farewell to Daiyu one after another.

Neither Baochai nor Tanchun could come, so Baba asked Niu Yun to bring a token.Because Xiangyun's wedding is coming soon, it's not suitable for him to go out, so he sent a servant girl to give Daiyu a gift overnight.Daiyu accepted them one by one.

Everyone looked at each other, although they didn't look at each other with tears in their hands, but they were speechless.

In the end, Ying Miaoyang interrupted: "It's not like they won't come back again, it's only a year at most, and they can always turn around. Crying and crying, what are you doing?"

Even though he said so, his eyes were still red.

Daiyu also said: "That's exactly what I said. We went, and we sent you things along the way. People come to the door every two days, so you don't want to get bored."

Huo Qiong was the first to burst into tears when he heard this, and rushed to say: "Exactly, exactly. I want the gauze and perfume from the Qianxiang Kingdom, and I also want the string of pearls from the South China Sea, beauty cream and..." Said Then make a long list.

Daiyu just nodded and asked Xueyan to write it all down.

Niu Yun was different, he took Daiyu's hand and said, "I just want books, geography and landscape paintings from all over the place, and it would be best if Sister Lin could mark every place you have been to, and when I grow up Yes, I want to go all over again."

"Okay, okay, okay, I promise you!" Daiyu nodded like a tumbler.

Yingchun, Xichun, and Sister Feng once sent Daiyu here, but today is not what it used to be, if not for the same characters, it is almost impossible to remember the past.

Mother Jia was getting older and didn't like to move, so she didn't come to see her off, so Sister Feng did it for her.Sister Feng is also a person with her own opinions. If it weren't for her status, she would have wanted to venture into Nanyang with Daiyu.Now, however, he has only assigned his confidants to go along with the Lin family and the Kui family's caravan, to catch the light and pick up the leaks.

Xichun has the most Buddhist heart, and takes parting the lightest. She just wishes Daiyu a smooth journey and hopes that her wishes will come true and she will return soon.

Only revisiting the hometown of Yingchun is the most emotional.

The change of Daiyu's fate began with her rebirth and her return home, and she met Yongyu by chance at this pier.

Why not welcome the spring?In the past, Daiyu's words of advice when she was parting opened her chaotic, lonely and hesitant heart in Yingchun, and she has changed since then.Starting from being timid and cowardly, clumsy and tongue-twisting, open your mouth a little bit, and correct it step by step...

Now, Yingchun looked at Yao Mengyuan who was on the other side of the send-off queue.

Yao Mengyuan also turned his head and looked towards him if he felt something.

The two looked at each other with no affection.

Yingchun turned her head and said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, I will remember all those loyal words! And I will always remember them. Mountains are high and rivers are long, so be careful."

Daiyu shook her hand back too.All kinds of things in the past are vivid in my mind, and everything is silent.

Finally, after everyone finished talking about their farewell love, Daiyu and Yongyu walked together to Lin Ruhai, Ying Miaoyang and Prince Bingxian and his wife.

The two bowed down.

"The parents are here, so don't travel far away. The child lives up to the great kindness of the parents in nurturing, and travels across the ocean. I only hope that I will live up to the emperor's life, and I will repay it. I also hope that the parents will take care of their health, and don't worry about it!" Daiyu said together with Yongyu.

Lin Ruhai, Ying Miaoyang and Prince Xian and his wife received a big gift together.No matter how broad they were, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

Over there, the trombone sounded, and the auspicious hour had come.The Xuanli eunuch stood at the bow of the ship and welcomed the envoy of Qianxiang Kingdom onto the ship.All the civil and military officials who came to see him off also looked at this side.

Yongyu helped Daiyu up, and the two turned their heads back and walked onto the envoy boat.

The Xuanli eunuch raised his voice and sang: "Set sail——"

Civil and military officials bowed to congratulate, and the ceremony and music sounded.The anchor was retracted, the huge sail was opened, and the ship suddenly swung far away with the help of the wind.

People on the shore are waving goodbye.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Daiyu and Yongyu watched the figures on the shore getting smaller and smaller, becoming less and less clear, gradually turning into a black shadow...

Daiyu turned around and couldn't help getting close to Yongyu's arms.

Farewell, Beijing.

........................

Because Nanyang is far away, Daiyu and the others also have the purpose of seeing the customs and geography of various places and developing business and trade. Naturally, they will not do it overnight and drive all the way to Nanyang.

First, along the Grand Canal, take the old road, cross the thoroughfare, go to the sea in Shandong, turn from the East China Sea, go all the way south, and finally arrive at Qianxiang Country.

The boat was traveling extremely fast, and the road on the canal was clear, but within a day, Daiyu's official ship passed the canal.

Yongyu came to ask Daiyu if she wanted to take a rest

But Daiyu said: "Our caravan wants to stop here to load and unload goods. We don't have to. Sister Kui's home is in Shandong, and we will arrive there after half a day's walk. At that time, we will stay in Shandong for two more days, and we will be there soon." There it is."

Yongyu did what he said.Put down many people on the thoroughfare and tell them to do things cheaply, but they need to rush to the East China Sea in three days.

In this way, Daiyu and others traveled for another half a day, and then arrived at the coast of Shandong.

Kui Boyun led the Kui family fleet to lead the way, bypassed a section of water, and then turned into a large village on the water.

From a distance, it looks like a city-state on land, quite majestic and magnificent.

When Daiyu saw the size of Kui's village for the first time, she was also taken aback.

Where there is a water village is clearly the whole island.Moreover, the houses in the water village are all built according to the shape of the island. They are scattered high and low, covering each other. Even if you walk around the village, it is difficult to get a full view of it.

There are also tall buildings erected everywhere, which are called lighthouses by people on the sea, and they are always bright all night, guiding the fishermen at sea to return home.

"Sister Kui, your house is so elegant!" Daiyu said with emotion from the bottom of her heart.

Yongyu stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, and echoed, "At first glance, it looks even more orderly than my Southern Navy Dazhai. Miss Kui was too humble before!"

Kui Boyun previously only said that the Kui family has been in business for many years, they are fishermen for generations, and they are well-known in the East China Sea.But it never said that they are simply the lords of the East China Sea.

When Kui Boyun heard the words, he lowered his head shyly, and said: "The humble house is simple and simple, but depending on the terrain and God's good fortune, how can it compare with Xiaoyao Wang and the master of Yashe?"

Several people were talking, and the official boat approached the gate of the water village.

There was a guard at the gate of the village, and asked, "Who is coming and please tell me your name."

With a wave of Kui Boyun's hand, the servants of Kui's family raised the sail, and the big sail with Kui characters fluttered in the wind.

The people at the gate of the village saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "Young village master is back! Quickly open the gate of the village to welcome you!"

As soon as the words fell, the gate of the triple water village slowly opened.

Two rows of arrow boats came flying like arrows and stopped beside the official boat.Then I saw a lot of strong men wearing water jackets jumping out from the arrow boat, and they hung something like hooks on the official boat.The bulky official boat seemed to have grown legs again. Under the leadership of the arrow boat, Sister Min passed through the obstacles of the water village and entered the lobby like a fish in the water.

In the lobby, candles as thick as an arm were burning brightly. The plaque of "Juyi Hall" hangs high in the center of the lobby.

There is also a big tiger-skin chair underneath. Looking at it in the scorching summer, I just feel that I will get bedsores if I sit on it.

Daiyu was supported by Yongyu to step down from the official boat, before she entered the lobby, she saw the tiger-skinned senior chair over there, and couldn't help but slander in her heart.

So does Yongyu.I was already amazed by the construction style of Kui's family water village. Now I saw the three characters "Juyitang", and heard about "Shaozhai Master", and the golden chair with tiger skin. Could it be that this is Kui Boyun, the former site of Shuibo Liangshan? In fact, they are descendants of Song Gongming

Yongyu was thinking wildly, and Kui Boyun's parents came together.

"Caomin Kui Yuanzhi, and woman Ji Si stumble to meet King Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao."

The two of them were dressed like ordinary rich people, Kui Yuanzhi was a bit reckless, but Ji Situan was a typical lady from a wealthy family, and her accent was clearly from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations, and Wu Nong's soft language was very pleasant to hear.

Since Yongyu knew that these two were Kui Boyun's father and mother, he would not be negligent, so he quickly stretched out his hands to help them up.

But Daiyu blushed, and explained later: "Uncle and aunt must know that Daiyu is not, not Princess Xiaoyao."

When Kui Boyun wrote a letter to his family, he only said how well Daiyu and Yongyu matched each other, how a pair of Bi people was created in heaven and earth, and praised the two of them so much that there is no heaven and no earth.It also said that Yongyu was originally the son of Prince Xian, but now he is named Xiaoyao King.But it just didn't say that Daiyu and Yongyu didn't really marry each other, so Kui Yuanzhi and Ji Sizhuan misunderstood each other!

But Yongyu didn't care much, and bumped Daiyu with his shoulder, which meant—but sooner or later, let Daiyu not care too much, and embarrass the elders instead.

Daiyu gave Yongyu a hard look, ignored him, and went into the house with Kui Boyun and his wife.

Several people sat down as guests and hosts.

Kui Yuanzhi first said: "The humble house is simple and simple, and the distinguished guests come here, and it is full of splendor. If there is any lack of hospitality, please forgive me, King Xiaoyao and Miss Lin."

Since Daiyu refused to admit that she was Princess Xiaoyao, Kui Yuanzhi simply referred to her by her official title.

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Master Kui is too polite. Daiyu is the younger sister of Sister Kui, and is the younger generation of Master Kui. I am ashamed to disturb you so much. I hope Master Kui and his wife will not give up."

Kui Boyun was at the side, and when he heard the two answering, he couldn't help interjecting: "Father, you are too restrained. Sister Lin called you uncle when she first met, and she recognized you as a relative. But you still want to call him something?" Lin Female official', forcing people to call you 'Master Kuizhai', wouldn't it be a happy king after birth, and he is very easy to get along with."

"Exactly, Uncle Kui can treat us as his own nephews. Besides, we are traveling south. We are newcomers and don't know the sea way, so we have to rely on Uncle's guidance for navigation!" Yongyu stood up, cupped his fists at Kuiyuan and saluted road.

Kui Yuanzhi felt like old friends with Daiyu and Yongyu at first sight, and after listening to Yongyu's words, he felt that his tastes were congenial. He slapped the seat and laughed loudly: "Okay, you are worthy of being the King of Xiaoyao, straightforward and happy." Kui is reckless, and King Xiaoyao said "Uncle", and it is not in vain to send his daughter to Beijing. Not to mention going south to the sea, from now on, whenever King Xiaoyao uses Kui a little bit, just say it is okay. The people of a certain joint village will go through fire and water, and will not hesitate to do so."

Not only Yongyu, but even Daiyu, after hearing Kui Yuanzhi's words, felt his blood surging and full of pride, they all stood up together, cupped their fists and saluted Kui Yuanzhi and Ji Situan.

After finishing the gossip, Daiyu told Kuiyuan and his wife about their trip plan.

When Kui Yuanzhi heard that Daiyu intended to open up the main commercial routes of the East China Sea, South China Sea and the Western Regions, and established the Maritime Silk Road, he also clapped his hands and praised: "To tell the truth to my niece, Kui also had this idea a long time ago. It's just a one-man effort." It is difficult to achieve a major event. Thinking about the ancestors of my Kui family, they also traveled across the ocean, went to the country of Rakshasa, the country of Qianxiang, and Tianzhu. Even now, in the water village of my Kui family, there are still A few Indian Buddhist scriptures. But Kui is unworthy, the farthest he has ever traveled in his life is the Qianxiang Kingdom, and he has never even traveled to the South China Sea."

As Kui Yuanzhi spoke, he was saddened.

Yongyu said, "It's not Uncle Kui's fault. It's because the imperial court doesn't pay much attention to sea routes. There are also Japanese plagues, and the sea is often banned. But please rest assured, Uncle Kui. Since the Holy Majesty promised me to go to Nanyang for business and mutual trade, it is It means to open the sea route and lift the sea ban. It just needs someone to explore the way first, not to say that it is safe, but also to be [-]% to [-]% sure."

"What King Xiaoyao said is true. Thanks to King Xiaoyao and his niece Xian, Kui is willing to put all his strength into closing the village and be a pioneer in exploring the way and a strong man who opens the sea." Kui Yuanzhi said straight.

Daiyu and Yongyu looked at each other, both beaming with joy, stood up again, and solemnly thanked Kui Yuanzhi and Ji Si.

The journey was tiring, and there were many people in the entourage.Kui Boyun saw that everyone had finished talking about the serious business, so he first suggested that Daiyu and Yongyu should rest in the next place, and talk about other things tomorrow.

Daiyu and Yongyu were more respectful than obedient, and followed the servants of Kui's family village into the inner courtyard.

In the outer water village, there are still many people gathered.

Although Daiyu and Yongyu came to see Kui Boyun's parents for personal matters, they never brought the accompanying officials with them, along with the envoy of Qianxiang Kingdom and others.After all, the entourage and subordinates of the two are also a large group of people.In addition, the Lin family's fleet stretched for several miles, covered a large area in darkness, and the movement was very loud, attracting the attention of the surrounding fishermen.

Kui's Water Village is not alone on the sea, but it is holding a key point on the sea road of the East China Sea.Just like the gates on the Great Wall, one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Even the Japanese pirates running rampant in the East China Sea would never want to go from the land on the sea area guarded by the Kuijia Water Village.

Moreover, the Kui family water village has a big family and a big business.Kui Yuanzhi and his wife are the most heroic and forthright. Although they will not steal from the rich and help the poor, they will definitely help each other when they see injustice.Fishermen, boats, or civilians who were killed at sea and had no means of living, seeing the flag of the Kui family water village is like seeing a savior.

Therefore, many fishermen gathered around the Kuijia water village, and gradually the isolated island became a village.Complementing each other, the fishermen have become the outside tips and eyes and ears of the Kuijia water village, and the Kuijia water village has become more and more solid.

Now, in order to celebrate the arrival of Yongyu and Daiyu in Kui's water village, the gate of the village is wide open, a feast is held, and the whole water village celebrates together.

The sound of drums and singing, laughter and laughter, spread directly from a radius of ten miles.

The fishermen in the nearby villages rushed to ask, who is the fleet that arrived in the afternoon?Why such a big show?And got such hospitality from the owner of the Kui village?

There are also family members in the village who work in the water village, so they add fuel to the story and say that the imperial court sent a female envoy to inspect the water village, accompanied by the famous King Xiaoyao.

Sure enough, some educated people in the village recognized the problem in these words.

"How is a female envoy? I have been in the country for so many years, but I have never heard of it. Besides, although the Kui family water village has some power in our East China Sea, it can't get into the eyes of those people on land. How can there be?" The imperial court personally sent officials to inspect? Also, what is Xiaoyaowang, why have I never heard of it before? I only know that there is a virtuous prince in my dynasty who is well-known as a romantic prince. Besides, even if it is really an inspection, it should be What kind of Xiaoyao King is the master, and the female envoy is the assistant, but you say that the famous Xiaoyao King is the companion. It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense, it really doesn’t make sense.”

The person who spoke at first was also hearsay and didn't know what he knew. He was questioned by the person who had studied and was choked speechless.

It's just that the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. The villagers' discussions were all listened to by a street peddler.

This peddler told others that his name was Gong Er, and his family spoke not-so-fluent Chinese outside the pass.Every time, I sold a lot of cheap and interesting things from the south alone, and sold them all the way back to the outside of the pass.Recently, I often shake the rattle drum in the villages and towns near the Kuijia water village, and sell along the road.The surrounding villagers are quite familiar with him, so naturally they don't avoid him in conversation.

Therefore, Gong Er listened to the words calmly, picked up the shelf and left.

After leaving the village, Gong Er walked quickly and turned close to the river. After seeing that there was no one around, he pushed aside a cluster of reeds that were two people tall by the river, jumped into a small boat hidden inside, and quickly got off the shopkeeper's house. The clothes revealed a brand new suit inside.

It turns out that Gong Er is not a salesman.After taking off the shackles of cumbersome clothes, a whole body of tendon and flesh, leaning against the water, looks more and more knotted.The paddle of the paddle hand, thumb and index finger was covered with thick calluses.It's more like holding a knife for a long time than oars.

And Gong Er was rowing the boat while muttering, not knowing what to say.It doesn't sound like Chinese, let alone a foreign language outside the customs, but it sounds like Japanese.

Gong Er didn't go by land, he drove a small boat through the river for a long time, but for some reason, he was able to get around the outer edge of Kui's water stronghold, where the Lin family's fleet was temporarily moored.

Here, far away from the water village, and on the shore of shallow water sheltered from the wind, there is no wind or waves, and there are no outsiders, so the guards are naturally weak.Only five or six servants from the water village and a dozen servants of the Lin family built a fire on the shore, grilled meat and ate wine, and watched the fleet by the way.

Under the cover of night, Gong Er used the thatch bushes on the bank to avoid the eyes and ears of the people on the shore, and quietly climbed onto the boat from the water.

Except for the big boat that Daiyu and Yongyu were riding in, the rest of the boats stopped at this moor.

There are also the ships that are loading and unloading goods at the thoroughfare, delayed for hours, and coming one after another.Stop on the shore, maybe a water park is full.

Gong Er tiptoed over several large ships, especially the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship.

The Lin family's fleet is naturally extraordinary.Besides, there are several official ships mixed in.Gold and silver jewellery, silk brocade, tea porcelain and even farming tools on board are all included and complete.

Gong Er only took a few boats, and his eyes were dazzled.Fearing that something might not happen for a while, he beat the grass to startle the snake and the owner of the boat, and then quietly dived into the bottom of the water, groped back on the boat, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

.....................

Let's say, on the other side, inside the Kui's water village.

Daiyu and Yongyu were invited by Kui Zhiyuan to sit on the main seats, and a banquet was held for them.The dishes on the table were all Daiyu and Yongyu had never seen before.

Big worms like earthworms, crabs the size of washbasins, fish with one eye, and vegetarian dishes like noodles tangled up in black...

Every time the maids served a dish, Daiyu's affectionate eyes widened a little more, and in the end, she was comparable to the fish, shrimps and crabs on the food table in front of her.

Seeing Daiyu's honest demeanor, Ji Situ couldn't help but help her peel the prawns and pick the crabs, dipped in Zhenjiang old vinegar, and brought it to Daiyu's lips with silver chopsticks.

It's not that Daiyu has never eaten crabs, it's just that she is drunk in this way, and she can still see claws wriggling before entering the mouth, which is really never seen.

After hesitating again and again, seeing that Kui Boyun was eating very sweetly, he couldn't bear to brush off Ji Si's kindness, so he opened his cherry lips and took a bite.

"En!" Daiyu couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Is it delicious? The things in the East China Sea look ugly and ugly, but they are actually very delicious. They don't need to be cooked, they can be eaten after being cooked, but they also have a special taste." Ji Si stumbled.

But Daiyu didn't care about answering, imitating Ji Si's action, dipped a chopstick of crab meat into Yongyu, and fed it to his mouth herself.

Yong Yu's wine is not intoxicating, people are intoxicated by themselves, and the crab meat has already sweetened the heart before it can be eaten.

Everyone at the banquet was eating, drinking and feasting happily, but they didn't know that the danger lurking in the dark was imminent.
