The huge ocean-going fleet docked at the Guangzhou dock.
There is also a southern caravan waiting to join the ranks of the oceans, and they have long been assembled, happily waiting for the West to pan for gold.
Although the supplies of the fleet have just come from Nanjing, the voyage is not long, and the consumption is not very large, so we must take this opportunity to replenish it, and any unforeseen phenomenon may occur when sailing at sea, and as long as there is an opportunity, the supply must be sufficient.
At the same time, there are several flower boats waiting to join the ocean-going team.
The girl who wants to join the fleet is very popular with the fleet, "the husband is born with all things, only people are the most expensive, the reason why people go up, the last desire for housing, the law is like heaven and earth, and the rules are yin and yang", the huge fleet of tens of thousands of people, one or two years away, and most of the time sailing on the sea, life is boring and boring, their physiological problems must be considered.
The main force of the ocean-going fleet is soldiers, all of whom are men of strong blood, and the imperial court does not want the ocean-going fleet to become "full of feelings" when it returns.
The girls were selected and placed on several boats alone, managed by the Department of Education, and when they came on board, they carried not only many colorful clothes, rouge gouache and other things used by women, but also needles and threads and medicinal herbs, which were all tools for them to make money along the way.
Needlework was used to mend the clothes of sailors, and such a large fleet, and men generally did not know how to do needlework, and along the way, the sewing of clothes could also allow them to earn a lot of money.
As for the medicinal materials, they are not competing for business with the doctors, the medicinal materials they carry are all related to the skin and meat business, that is, aphrodisiac medicines.
The men in the fleet may not be all Jiao Jiaowei's husbands in bed, the surname medicine is very marketable and profitable, lizard medicinal wine, mountain otter medicinal wine, bald chicken powder, of course, there are indispensable male and female contraceptives and contraceptive pills, they are in business, but they don't want to raise a baby who doesn't even know who their father is when they come back.
When the fleet anchored in Canton, it was warmly welcomed and warmly received by the local officials, and this attitude was completely different from the previous time.
This time, the ocean-going fleet had a large number of civilian officials as envoys, which was emotionally regarded by the magistrates as their own people.
And the free trade of the city will greatly benefit the places under their jurisdiction, which makes them even more ecstatic, so that the eunuchs are not so obsessed with it.
Zhang Xitong and other civil officials are naturally guests of local officials, Zheng He and other eunuchs have also been politely received, Xia Xun has a top-secret mission, can not disclose his identity, naturally will not participate in such a banquet, at this moment, he is Zhang Xitong on the battleship, in front of him, a handsome young man standing in a regular manner, with his head bowed, looking pitiful.
It's just that he flattened his mouth, lowered his head and rolled the corners of his clothes with his fingers over and over again, which brought a little girlishness.
This person in a small hat in green clothes and dressed as a teenager is naturally Tang Sai'er.
If she is really a handsome young man, maybe the girl with dreams will see that this little girl is too pink and jade, and she is a tender and delicious boy chicken, maybe she will help her cover up a thing or two, knowing that she is also a daughter, where will she hide it for her.
As soon as Zhang Xitong returned to the ship, he told him everything in a dream.
Zhang Xitong called Tang Sai'er to the front and asked her again, confirming her identity and reason for getting on the boat.
Tang Sai'er inevitably begged him softly again, how could Zhang Xitong and other old and slippery characters be willing to offend Fuguo Gong for her little girl, and he didn't have a word to agree at the moment, and his kind appearance almost moved Tang Sai'er to cry, but as soon as he turned his head, he sold Tang Sai'er.
So, Xia Xun appeared here suddenly.
Xia Xun calmed his face and reprimanded sternly: "You girl, are you crazy Isn't it Well, if you change to those strict rules, a daughter runs away from home, and she will be killed at one time, and you will be allowed to come back for the second time You ran to Xiliang at the beginning, but fortunately, because you thought you killed Yu Qian and fled in a panic, then you tell me, what is the reason for this time, say" Tang Sai'er was startled, and said timidly: "My mother told me about a family, Gao Qiming, the second son of the Gao family who opened an oil mill at the door, he stammered a little as soon as he spoke, and people didn't want to."
"Hmm" Xia Xun only saved it, according to the legal age of marriage in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Sai'er had already reached the age when he should get married, in his eyes, he had always regarded Sai'er as a little girl who had not grown up, if she hadn't said it, Xia Xun hadn't remembered it.
"Do you own an oil mill?"
Xia Xun frowned quietly.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Tang Sai'er can find such a family, which is really good, and it can be regarded as a high climb.
If Tang Sai'er's mother and daughter hadn't had such an old friendship with him as an assistant to the Duke of Fuguo, what kind of identity would they have in Jinling City, but they would be just a widow who did needlework for people, alone with a girl who was half the size of a small girl, and the family background of the oil mill was still very solid.
But Xia Xun looked at this girl who was changed by his life, this is the Holy Mother of the White Lotus in history, a famous heroine in history, she commanded thousands of troops and horses, fought with the imperial court, and even Yongle Yanjing was shocked, and wanted to personally designate a rebel leader to suppress the rebellion, and marry an oil mill "A man with coarse cloth and short brown drove a small donkey back home, unloaded two sacks of hemp seeds from the donkey's back, and pulled out a crumpled towel from his waist, While slapping the dust on his body, he shouted into the house: "Mother, I'm back." ” Inside the house, the smoke is clear, Tang Sai'er has become a yellow-faced woman, with an apron tied around her waist that can't see the true color of oil-stained twist flowers, and a cloth full of oil smoke on her head, and she is sweating profusely stir-frying the rapeseed in the pot with a shovel, and she still stir-fried like a fly, and promised in a rough voice: "The head of the house came back coincidentally, and this pot is just right to be fried."
At this time, a half-grown child with two tubes of snot came over and reported loudly: "Mother, mother, my brother has eaten too much sesame oil, and he has jumped on a kang of thin shit."
Xia Xun shuddered smartly, and quickly swept away the picture imagined in his mind.
Tang Sai'er stood in front of her, still wiping her tears, Su Ying glanced at her, and couldn't help but feel compassion, so she pressed to Xia Xun's ear and whispered: "The mother and daughter of the Tang family rely on the help of the master to live in Jinling. ” Xia Xun couldn't help but move when he heard this, he came from modern times, and naturally he was disgusted with the girl marrying early before she grew up, his own eldest daughter is fifteen years old this year, Ming'er had discussed with him about marrying and starting a family, because he had just reached the age, and he didn't worry about marrying with his family background, so it was temporarily delayed.
He teased his daughter on the dock, saying that he would find her in-laws when he came back, but he was actually teasing her.
She was seventeen at the time.
In addition, he has made up his mind that "the carp will get rid of the golden hook, shake its head and tail and never come again", and when the time comes, he will be busy with major events, and when everything settles down, this girl will be nineteen, and then find her a mother-in-law, which is a more suitable age.
What Ying'er said is also true, if Tang Sai'er's mother and daughter are taken away in the future, then there is no hurry to let her get married, she is only fifteen, and she is only at the age of graduating from junior high school.
If you really want her to marry, it's not easy to take it away, is her husband's family willing?
Besides, with her elf-stingy surname and unpredictable illusions, if she really wants to marry such a family, either she will be worn out by life and become a mediocre woman, or she will turn that family upside down.
Ziqi's aunt who became a monk and a nun is a lesson from the past, Xia Xun thought about it and gradually moved.
Tang Sai'er is such a clever and well-behaved master, although he is crying and wiping his tears, he has been peeking at him, and when he saw that he was a little hesitant, he knelt in front of him with a "porphyr", hugged his thigh and cried: "Father-in-law, Sai'er really doesn't want to marry so early, especially if you don't want to marry the Gao family, please be the master with me" Xia Xun sighed and said, "If that's the case, you shouldn't run away, what should your mother be in a hurry?"
Tang Sai'er said: "The last time I left a letter to my mother, I fled in a hurry, and I couldn't write a few words at that time, and now I am studying with Siyang and them, is it not easy to write a letter, I told my mother, I want to go to sea with my father-in-law" Xia Xun glared at her for a long time before saying, "Fortunately, you haven't gone to sea yet, I'll ask someone to send you back, I'll write a letter to your mother, and tell her not to rush to set up a family affair for you." ” Tang Sai'er hurriedly said: "No, if my mother doesn't listen, where did Sai'er go to ask my father-in-law to talk to my father-in-law, you just asked me to follow you, I have never been on a big ship or went down to the West."
Seeing that Xia Xun was relieved, Tang Sai'er hit the snake with the stick, hugged his legs and sprinkled coquettishly.
Su Ying saw it on the side, and said: "Sai'er is an illusion, and it is still regarded as a magic skill in my Ming Dynasty, and when I go to Fanbang, I only need to try my skills, and I will not be regarded as a living immortal by those uncivilized barbarians, maybe it will be of great help to the mission of the master." ” "Hmm" In the end, it was the pillow that was windy, Xia Xun groaned for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed: "Come on, then you can go to the West with me, along the way, you have to be obedient" "Yes, yes, yes, I promise" Tang Sai'er cheered, jumped up, with tears on her face, she was already smiling, hugged Su Ying and kissed her vigorously, and said happily: "Thank you, Aunt Ying, Aunt Ying is the best."
Xia Xun glared at her and said, "Mo Mo will leave a letter no matter what he says, tell your mother that she knows, lest she worry about you again."
"Oh" Tang Sai'er immediately ran to the bookcase and sharpened the ink seriously, how well-behaved and well-behaved it was.
Su Ying sighed: "This kid is much more honest and sensible than Sixun and Sixun." ” Xia Xun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You can pull it down, she, her ability to pretend is even more amazing than her illusion."
