Chapter 970: Go South


Because it is a cargo ship, there are not many people.

Except for a very few boatmen who know everything about it, the others are all our own people.

Therefore, Ji Qingqing and Zhao Xuanyi did not need to cover their eyes on the ship and could move around freely.

The scenery at sea has a different feeling compared to that on land.

Looking around, there is sea water all around.

The weather was sunny, and under the sunlight, the sea water showed various shades of blue.

Because of the reflection of this blue, the sky seemed a little bluer.

Zhao Xuanyi had never been on a sea ship, but he found it more novel and novel than Ji Qingqing.

In this era, the ecological environment in the sea and on the ground is as good as ever, which is reflected in the extremely rich natural products.

During the day, when the two of them stood on the deck, they could see pods of dolphins, huge sea turtles, sharks with rather ferocious pointed heads, and other large fish schools swimming by.

This journey was truly an amazing one.

Wonderful.

Two or three days passed quickly, and before the two of them even had time to see the sunrise over the sea as they had agreed upon, the ship landed at the port of Sanmen City in southern Guangdong.

There was a reason why he didn't have time to watch the sunrise on the sea.

There was nothing to do on the boat.

How could Zhao Xuanyi let his wife sit idle and end up exhausted?

How could he still get up to watch the sunrise after sleeping until daylight?

They were about to arrive in the south.

Thinking of all kinds of southern fruits and delicacies, Ji Qingqing didn't complain about him much.

She only complained a few words with joy and excitement and regret.

The two agreed to watch it next time and got off the boat.

The Wangfu's fleet also has cooperative merchants here.

As soon as they arrived at the shore, the cooperative merchant, the eldest young master and the housekeeper of the Zhang family, the largest family in the area, were already waiting at the port, and greeted the two of them home with a very respectful smile.

The port of Laishan County was built by Zhao Xuanyi, who wrote to the court to request it.

Everyone in the court knew about it, and it was impossible to hide it.

It would be abnormal if Zhao Xuanyi did not interfere with anything and did not want any benefits after the port was built.

Therefore, Zhao Xuanyi's cooperation with the Zhang family here and the Lin family over there in Laishan County to build a fleet was not hidden at all. people.

Only Ji Qingqing later sent people to find three more families and threw eleven large and small boats without telling anyone.

I asked the merchant ship that arrived two days ago to bring a message, saying that the princes and princesses would come to visit this time, but the Zhang family was very excited.

They had already tidied up the house and made various preparations for the reception.

The big family in Sanmen City should know Everyone also knew the news.

On this day, in addition to the Zhang family, young men from several other families also came to say hello.

The local official wanted to come to greet him, but Zhao Xuanyi refused in the letter, saying that it was not official business, but just a leisurely leisure time, and there was no need to disturb the place.

Although the local officials were very sorry, after all, this was a great opportunity to curry favor with the prince, they did not dare to openly disobey him, so they did not come, but they respectfully sent greeting messages.

Although the imperial court opened an ocean-going port in Fujian and southern Guangdong, the imperial court did not provide much support and relied entirely on local governments.

It is conceivable that although it is more prosperous than ordinary land and water terminals, it is still far from the level.

The prosperity a real seaport should have.

People here have even fewer connections with the Central Plains.

Those who don't know are fearless.

Everyone was not in awe of the arrival of Zhao Xuanyi and Ji Qingqing.

Instead, they were more fresh and curious.

They all looked at Ji Qingqing and Zhao Xuanyi with fresh and curious eyes.

They saw that the man was noble, handsome, graceful, the woman had an refined temperament, and her face was stunning.

Everyone praised and admired them.

They all said that the royal prince and princess were really unparalleled in their appearance and temperament.

You can never find half of it locally.

When we arrived at Zhang's house, countless men and women were waiting at the door to greet them, as well as the servants of the house, various relatives and friends who came over, and folks from far and near.

Everyone was dressed in brightly colored costumes, and the women's hair buns were covered with shiny jewelry and flowers.

There was a huge crowd.

The noise, laughter and chatter reached the point when the two of them arrived.

It was more lively than the Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival, or any other festival.

Zhao Xuanyi did not expect these people to be so enthusiastic and was shocked.

Ji Qingqing was also very surprised.

However, everyone was not afraid of her and Zhao Xuanyi.

Their appraising eyes, smiles on their faces, admiration, envy, and fresh curiosity were mixed with goodwill, which did not make anyone feel uncomfortable.

The head of the Zhang family and several core figures came forward with smiles.

The head of the family and the elders are well-informed and know the etiquette of the Central Plains better than others, so they bowed their heads and bowed with great ceremony.

When everyone saw this, they remembered that when they saw the prince and princess, they seemed to have to bow down and bow down, so they bowed and bowed in confusion. this scene Zhao Xuanyi has grown up and has seen countless people kneel down and pay respects countless times, but this is the first time he has seen something like this.

He couldn't even laugh or cry, but he found it interesting.

He laughed loudly and hurriedly ordered people to help the head of the house and others up, and ordered everyone to stay flat.

Chaoshao finally ended the greeting ceremony, and the group entered the Zhang family mansion.

Although the construction of houses in the south is different from that in the north, the houses of wealthy families, without exception, have one courtyard connected to another, with unlimited depth.

As the Zhang family is the largest family in the area, it goes without saying that the mansion is huge.

There are countless houses.

Various flowers and trees with southern characteristics were planted.

Ji Qingqing looked at these familiar and unfamiliar flowers and trees with bright eyes and a good mood.

Nanyue does not pay attention to the distinction between men and women.

Zhao Xuanyi was greeted in the main hall, and Ji Qingqing was also there.

On the Zhang family side, there were also men and women accompanying him.

After all, the head of the family was well-informed and understood the etiquette and rules of the Central Plains better than others.

After a while, he asked the female family members to invite the princess to another place to entertain her.

The female family members, whether they were old or young, were already extremely jealous when they saw Ji Qingqing's outfit.

Knowing that the master's words were exactly what he wanted, they happily and enthusiastically surrounded the princess and left.

Then, the content of the conversation among the female relatives was basically like this: "The princess's clothes are so beautiful."

“The princess’s hair is so beautifully styled.”

"The princess's phoenix hairpin is so exquisite.

How can things made of the same gold and gems be so different?"

“I don’t know what kind of gouache the princess used, but her skin looks particularly delicate.”

“The princess is so beautiful, her skin is so white, I’m so envious.”

"Princess, please teach us."

Ji Qingqing could hardly resist, but she felt very relaxed and at ease.

She laughed and chatted with them happily and without any scruples, answering all their questions.

It’s not surprising that everyone has a love for beauty.

In Ji Qingqing's opinion, it was much better to talk to them who had no evil intentions and no twists and turns in their stomachs than to face those noble ladies in the capital
