Jones temporary residence
Since Jones returned in the morning, he has not gone out again, but has been looking through the customs and festivals of the Great Zou Kingdom in the mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ulis, who couldn't stay idle, watched Brother Jones look through the information of Da Zou Kingdom so seriously, and she also looked at it in the same way.
At this moment, the subordinate who went out to investigate the news came back, and after saluting, he said: "Duke Jones, Miss Earl Ulris, the villain went to investigate the left minister of Da Zou and found a suspicious point. ”
"What's the doubt?" Jones asked.
Euris also put down the information in her hand and listened.
The subordinate said: "That's the case, Lord Zuo Xiang of this country went on a business trip last year and has not returned yet, and the man you see today does not seem to be His Excellency Qin Jun. ”
When Euris heard this, she exploded, "Brother Jones, is the person you saw Qin Ming?"
The corners of Jones's mouth twitched, he carefully recalled the conversation with Mo Weiran, but found that he did not admit that he was Qin Ming, but only told him that Qin Ming's real identity was Lord Zuo Xiang of this country, and his real name was Qin Jun.
He regretted, "I'm sorry Euris, I made a mistake. ”
"This kind of thing, can you make a mistake?" Uris was very speechless, she said: "Didn't I say it? Qin Ming's temperament is unique, his appearance is unforgettable at a glance, when you see him, you will know that the person you are looking for is him." ”
Jones shrugged his shoulders and said, "The man I saw today I think is even more brilliant than Qin Ming in your mouth, so I recognize the wrong person, and I am also helpless." ”
"I don't believe there can be a more brilliant man than Qin Ming. Euris said.
"As a man's observation of the same sex, the person I see today is indeed better than the person you say you are. Jones said that Mo Weiran gave him the feeling that he was too powerful and dangerous, which is why he gave Mo Weiran such a high evaluation.
"Hearing you say that, I'd like to see the man you've seen today. Unconvinced, Euris said, "Do you know who he is?
"I don't know his identity, but he gave me advice and asked me to hand over the letter to the emperor of this country, and said that the purpose of our coming to the East can be told to the emperor of this country. Jones said.
This is very important, Euris said, "Brother Jones, let's go and ask the teacher! Ask him for his opinion if we can go to the Lantern Festival luncheon in this country." ”
"Good. Jones nodded.
When he came, he promised his father that he must listen to the teacher's words and not disobey the teacher's opinion.
The stakes are very high, he only knows that it is related to the eight-sided exquisite vessel, as for what it is, the teacher does not tell him, and he does not know.
In short, listening to his father's meaning is very solemn, and he should keep it in his heart, always remembering that he must listen to the teacher's words.
The two went to find the national teacher together, who had just come out of retreat.
The two of them said the reason, and the national teacher was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "To integrate into a country, you must first start with the customs of that country. Now hand over the Roman Empire's greeting post, and you will visit as an envoy of the Roman Empire to participate in the Lantern Festival Palace banquet of the Great Zou Kingdom. ”
"Teacher, that's great. Euris was pleased, and Jones smiled.
Jones immediately ordered to go down, prepared an elaborate greeting post, wrote the language of the two countries, and personally handed it to the capital of the capital.
After receiving the post of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the governor of the capital city immediately handed it directly to the cabinet without delay.
Dazou is an open country, and the cabinet often receives greetings from other countries, but the Roman Empire, a distant country, is the first time it has been received.
Originally, Lord Left was in charge of these things, but Lord Left is not here at the moment, so the burden on Lord Right is very heavy, and he is very busy every day.
The right minister has always thought that Qin Jun had robbed him of his edge and did not like Qin Jun, but now after he has dealt with government affairs for more than a month, he has found that he can't do without Qin Jun! He is already old, and he can handle some simple and easy affairs, and these tedious things should be left to young people to do!
When the right minister received the post, he couldn't make up his mind, so he sent the post directly to His Royal Highness the Prince.
At this time, Mo Weiran had just returned from the Fuguo Mansion and was currently in his cabinet office.
It seems that he had expected that Jones's group would hand over the prayer post, and after taking the worship post presented by his subordinates, Mo Weiran sat on the chair very calmly and opened it to look.
Ancient English was slightly different from modern English, but he could understand it all if he was familiar with it.
In modern times, Mo Weiran and Ming Fei's English are as authentic as those of the British and Americans.
Although English has not been spoken for many years in ancient times, I have never forgotten that international language because it is so familiar.
The official who sent the prayer post had been standing in place with his bow and waiting for orders.
Mo Weiran closed the prayer post and said, "Reply to the post and invite them to tomorrow's palace banquet." ”
"Yes. The lower official was embarrassed and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in our country, there are people who can speak this language, but they have all gone to sea!"
Da Zou is also full of talents, and learning foreign Chinese is an indispensable project.
But it seems that the ancients were not very keen on learning this language, so not many people learned it.
Dazou has been engaged in maritime trade, so those who can speak Chinese are sent out on missions, and those who remain in China today are not able to write neatly in bird language.
Mo Weiran said: "Write the Dazou script directly, and the script of their country does not need to be written." ”
"Yes. The lower official didn't dare to say more, and was ordered to retreat.
In fact, when the two countries intersect, banquets, documents, treaties, etc., the words and phrases needed must be written in the languages of the two Chinese, so as to appear to respect other countries.
But they are not big Zou Jianguo, and they really don't have the expertise of bird language.
Xia Guan couldn't have imagined that their Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the best representative of the entire Da Zou Kingdom, with Ming Fei ranking second, and Ming Yue, a small pervert, ranking third.
The officials of the Great Zou State were very efficient, and the replies and banquet invitations were quickly delivered to Jones's residence.
The messenger left, and Euris opened the banquet invitation and looked at it, and said with a pouted disdain: "This country is so weak, I can't even write our country's words." ”
Jones nodded: "Indeed, after all, the distance between the two countries is too far, if we don't have a teacher, we won't be able to speak the language of their country." ”
The national teacher said: "If it is not written on the banquet invitation, it does not mean that no one in their country can understand our words." Don't underestimate the East, this is an ancient civilization, the same as ours, and even, more mysterious than ours. ”
As he spoke, he poured two cups of tea for the two young people, and said, "Drink and see, this is a special tea of Dazou Country, and there are hundreds of varieties of tea." ”
