The bird boats that Dao Scarrong and Charlie Gough were riding docked at the pier in Beixi, Jieyang one after another. When the springboard was lowered, the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out on the pier, and at the same time, , and there are noisy gongs and drums.
Regardless of whether they are former Confucians or Confucian Puritans, the third prince Zhu and his three grandsons must still observe the necessary etiquette. Now that friends are coming from afar, of course they should be greeted with a grand ceremony. But you still have to pretend to be a "gentleman"!
And Zhu San and his son, pretending to be "virtuous gentlemen", look really intimidating - tall, long beard, commoner clothes and scarf, long sword and thunder, once you stop there, everyone knows that this is for free. , I don’t want an official position, I don’t want my life, I just want a ruthless gentleman who is benevolent, righteous and moral.
Moreover, in order to highlight the word "ruthless", Zhu Heji specially selected 782 bearded men from the team, and they all pretended to be poor and ruthless former Confucians... This is called "ancient" There were seventy-two sages from the Confucian sect, but now there are seventy-two ruthless sects from the Zhu sect!”
Although these "ruthless people" may not necessarily be as good as "sages" when it comes to greatness, throwing grenades one by one can usually make their opponents lie flat... They are not yet good at reasoning, but they can solve the problem. and unreasonable opponents!
This is also true!
Zhu Heji also plausibly told everyone: "A gentleman's mouth cannot replace a gentleman's sword. The evil devil holding the sword can only be chopped to death by the gentleman holding the sword!"
And Dao Scarong, who had just felt that Zhu Heji was "scum" and Da Bo Ling was "monster" on the boat, felt the ferocity and murderous intent of these "Zhu Clan ruthless people" at close range, and suddenly felt that Da Bo Ling was following him. Zhu Heji is also good.
Da Bo Ling is actually quite a good person, quite loyal and very friendly. Otherwise, she would not have the status she has today just by being a "big-bellied sister-in-law". Maybe she can be asked to take care of her sister Shuzhen to prevent her from being bullied by Zhu Heji...
As soon as he thought about this, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance coming to his nostrils. When he looked up, he found that Tian Wang Zhu, Cannon Zhu, Da Bo Ling and Zhuge Military Advisor were already coming up to meet him.
This fragrance should come from Dabo Ling, right? Scar Rongxin said: "It's impossible for those Yuan Confucians who pretend to be poor to carry such high-end sachets... Why pretend to be poor if they do that? This must be Da Boling's sachet, made with Come and hook Cannon Zhu!
This woman is not simple! "
When he was worried about his sister, Heavenly King Zhu, Zhu Heji, Da Boling and Zhuge Military Advisor had already arrived in front of him. These four people were all old acquaintances of him, and when they met now, they were of course very polite and polite. The Heavenly Kings Zhu and Zhu Heji did not act like the third prince Zhu or the third grandson of Zhu. When they saw Dao Scarong about to salute, they immediately took action to hold him up and greeted him warmly.
"Dao Scarong, my brother, you don't need to be polite!" Heavenly King Zhu and Dao Scarong have indeed been friends for many years, and they have similar temperaments. If Heavenly King Zhu and Qiu Hui hadn't become friends, they might have become sworn friends - fortunately There was no sworn sworn relationship, otherwise Qiu Shuzhen would have become Zhu Heji's aunt.
Zhu Heji also echoed: "Yes, Brother Qiu has come all the way to send relatives and food during the Chinese New Year. My father and son should salute you and say thank you!"
As he spoke, he still felt a little guilty and wanted to find the little beauty Qiu Shuzhen - well, it's a feudal society now! He had no choice but to "follow the times", so now he wanted both Da Bo Ling and Qiu Shuzhen.
But he didn't find a little beauty - this is the bad thing about marrying a lady. They talk about whether men and women should be intimate with each other. There was still a chance to meet before the two parties were engaged, but now that they were engaged, don't even think about it. When we meet again, it’s time to “hold hands”!
Well, Qiu Shuzhen is still a "barbaric lady" from the pirate family. If she is a lady from a scholar-bureaucrat's family, she must "hold hands" as soon as they meet. It is definitely a flash hand! Exciting enough?
Zhuge Military Advisor also came up at this time and said: "General Qiu, you guys are really in a hurry this time. It's not even the fifteenth day of the first lunar month yet!"
Can you not be in a hurry? Qiu Rongxin said: "Da Bo Ling is so anxious. How about we be less anxious? If Da Bo Ling has another son later, he won't be able to ride on my sister's head in the future?"
"Brother Ah Rong, can you smell the fragrance on my body?" Seeing Qiu Rong's expression of denial, Da Bo Ling shamelessly went up to talk to Qiu Rong, and started talking about the fragrance on her body as soon as she opened her mouth.
Qiu Rong didn't know how to answer now. This question seemed a bit sensitive!
Da Bo Ling was quite thick-skinned. As she spoke, she took out a small wine bottle and handed it to Qiu Rong, "Brother Ah Rong, this is the fragrant wine that the prince prepared in his spare time. He sprayed it with it an hour ago." I've been wearing it all over my body, and the smell hasn't dissipated yet. I gave this bottle to Sister Shuzhen, as a token of my appreciation for being a sister."
What? elder sister? When Qiu Rong heard this, he was a little unhappy and said to himself: "That's not how this generation works. My sister is the head wife and mistress! How can I call you sister? Besides, my sister doesn't know how to drink. Forget it. Now, let me drink this bottle of fragrant wine!"
Thinking of this, Dao Scarong accepted the wine bottle, and then went up to talk to King Zhu Tian and Military Advisor Zhuge - he had to talk to them about arranging where his sister Qiu Shuzhen would live, and he had to discuss this matter with his "elders" Say, you can’t tell the groom, especially the groom who doesn’t follow the rules very well and is very lecherous like Zhu Heji!
...
Just as Dao Scarong was meeting and talking with King Zhu Tianwang, Zhu Heji and others, Charlie Gough, who arrived on another bird boat, also arrived at the Beixi Pier in Jieyang County.
After observing these "ruthless people from rich families" at close range, he felt that it would be difficult for him to achieve his goal this time. Will talking about "strength-based rules" work to the puritan lunatics?
Doesn't seem to work? If it had worked, their King Charles I of England would not have been hacked to death by the Puritan lunatic Cromwell.
I was just thinking about how I should communicate with these unreasonable Confucian Puritans and convince them that free trade monopolized by the British East India Trading Company was in the best interest of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Heji had already taken advantage of the opportunity of Tian Wang Zhu and Dao Scarong to talk and walked towards Charlie Gough and Ji Dabao together with Da Bo Ling.
Charlie Gough and Ji Dabao had already known each other under the introduction of Chen Yonghua before Zhu Heji conquered Jieyang County, so there was no need for Qiu Rong to introduce them again, and they started chatting when they met. .
While Zhu Heji, Da Boling, Charlie Gough and Ji Dabao were chatting, the two of them had already smelled the fragrance of perfume.
Ji Dabao didn't feel much about this fragrance... He did have feelings for Da Bo Ling, but seeing Zhu Heji's ruthless behavior, he had better not look at anything inappropriate!
But Charlie Goff's interest immediately arose, not only in Daboling, but also in perfume.
Westerners have a strong body odor, and Westerners in this era generally don't like to take baths. Most of them are very smelly. In order to make their smell less like smelly meat and garbage, they usually use perfumed powder or the effect is very poor. of Hungarian water to cover.
And whether it is perfume powder or Hungarian water, the smell emitted is not as good and strong as the fragrance emitted by Da Bo Ling!
What spice is this? If sold to Europe, it will definitely be worth a lot of money!
If the fragrance can last longer, it will be more valuable, and it is a unique and good deal!
Thinking of this, he didn't care about any Eastern etiquette, and said straightforwardly to Da Bo Ling in unskilled Chinese: "Madam, you smell so good today!"
