In May of the fourth year of Zhenguang, the lotus leaves in the lake are as green as jade, layer upon layer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info some of the golden lotus leaves are budding to be released, and some have already spit out, swaying in the breeze.

There are a few peach trees on the shore of the lake, and the peaches that bear are larger than a fist, and have begun to turn red, but there is not much gold in the crossing, only a circle at the bottom of the peach. Wait another half a month, and the golden peaches should be ripe.

Under the peach tree, stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. The girl wore a bright green skirt, and the skirt fluttered in the wind, making it even more slim. Her eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is as white as jade, her delicate facial features are eighty percent similar to Pan Yue when she was young, and her dusty temperament is even more like ten out of ten.

This is the back garden of the Xiangenhou Mansion, and this girl is Qian Yijing, the second granddaughter of the Xiangenhou Qian Sangui. She looked up at the green and red peaches, and then looked down at the golden lotus all over the lake.

When Brother Ji left, he said that if nothing happened, they would come back in two years. also asked her to remember to pick a few golden peaches, and then asked people to boil the golden lotus leaf porridge and wait for him, saying that he wanted that taste.

Thinking of his instructions when he left, Qian Yijing covered his mouth with a handkerchief and became happy. No wonder my sister often jokes that he is like a master of sorrow, and he has been greedy since he was a child.

He has been gone for more than two years, the golden peach is almost ripe, and the nasturtium is already in full bloom. He's supposed to be back soon, right?

The mother said that as soon as Brother Ji came back, she would marry them. Thinking of this, the handsome figure and warm smile appeared in front of him, and Qian Yijing's heart was overflowing with sweetness.

Qian Yijing's eldest girl, Wanhe, persuaded, "Second girl, it's time to go back to the house." Although the sun is about to set, it is still roasting, don't get caught in the heat. ”

Qian Yijing said stubbornly, "I am standing under the shade of a tree, unable to bask in the sun." ”

Wan He looked at her own young lady, since the lotus flowers in the lake began to bud and the peach trees produced small peaches, she had to come here almost every day to stand for two or three quarters of an hour except for rainy days.

Qian Yijing is thirteen years old this year, and she has not gone to the girls' school since this year. Although many noble women in Daqian choose to go to women's schools to study, they generally enter school at the age of seven, and do not go there after the age of thirteen or fourteen, but wait at home to marry or marry.

Qian Yijing inherited everything from Pan Yue, beautiful, quiet, elegant, and a top student in the women's school. As soon as he reached the age of eleven, there was an endless stream of people who came to the Qian family to ask for relatives.

Qian Manjiang and Pan Yue both made excuses to push, and they already had the best candidate in their hearts.

Before Zhu Suji went to sea, Pan Yue asked him about his idea of marrying. Zhu Suji blushed and said, "My aunt thinks whoever is good will be good, and I know that my aunt will not harm me." ”

Pan Yue said deliberately, "I think the five girls of the Zhao family are good." ”

Zhu Suji hurriedly shook his head and said, "No." I, I like my aunt's house, I ......" he blushed and was embarrassed to continue.

Pan Yue smiled, "If you like your aunt's family, you will be your son-in-law, are you willing?" ”

Zhu Suji showed surprise in his eyes, and nodded busily. He had long seen that his aunt's family had this meaning, and he also had this meaning. Thinking of that bright girl, his heart became even sweeter.

Pan Yue couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't speak, are you unwilling?" If you don't want to, forget it, this thing can't be difficult. ”

Zhu Suji couldn't care less about being shy, and hummed, "I just nodded, I'm willing." Then he hurried away.

When he went out and met Qian Yijing, Zhu Suji's face turned even redder, and he shouted "Sister Jing" and ran faster.

Qian Yijing walked into the house and asked Pan Yuedao in confusion, "Mother, what's wrong with Brother Ji, his face is so red?" ”

Pan Yue said with a smile, "My mother asked him if he would like to be his mother's son-in-law, and he said yes, so he ran away embarrassed." ”

The daughter is eleven years old, and many girls of this age are engaged. Pan Yue said this, which also made her daughter feel prepared. She had already seen that her daughter had been tired of Zhu Suji since she was a child, and she relied on him a lot. But she treats him as a big brother, and she hasn't thought about the relationship between men and women. Today, it's time to poke open this layer of window paper.

Qian Yijing was calmer than Zhu Suji, although she blushed very embarrassedly, she didn't run out, but leaned on Pan Yue's arms, pulled up her sleeves and covered her little face. coquettishly said, "Mother, people don't marry, and people are reluctant to leave their mother." ”

Pan Yue patted her daughter and smiled, "My mother has regarded Ji'er as her son since she was a child, and Ji'er also regarded Ji'er as his mother." When you marry Ji'er, it's like marrying your mother's son. Even if you live in the Yonghe Mansion in the future, and come back at any time if you want to see your mother, who can stop you? He also said, "Ji'er is a mother who has seen her since she was a child, and she is kind, has a good temper, is good at learning, and has a good background." If you marry him, your mother is also relieved. ”

Originally, Pan Yue and Qian Sangui meant that Zhu Suji had decided their family affairs before leaving, but Zhu Suji did not agree. He was afraid that he would go to sea in case he would hurt Jing'er, so he said that he would wait until he came back to make a marriage.

This year is the day they plan to return, and they don't know when they will return.

After standing for more than two quarters of an hour, Qian Yijing sighed and walked back with the girl. Walking under the sun, the evening lotus will thoughtfully raise the umbrella.

As soon as I walked halfway, I saw a little girl running over to report, "Second girl, my aunt and grandmother are here with Miss Si." ”

When Qian Yijing heard that the eldest sister and Sisi were coming, she happily quickened her pace and walked towards the main courtyard.

Qian Yixiu got out of school and took Sisi to her parents' house for dinner. Today, she has asked for leave from the eldest lady and her mother-in-law, and she wants to go back to her parents' house to have a look, and she also asked Liang Jinzhao to come to Qian's house directly after leaving the palace.

At the beginning of last year, Mrs. Liang passed away. A month later, the Empress Dowager also died. Mrs. Liang is eighty-three years old, and the Empress Dowager is eighty-four years old. Although these two people have a rare long life, they are both close relatives of Qian Yixiu, and they passed away one after another in a short period of time, which made Qian Yixiu grief, and it took half a year to recover. Today, the oldest birthday star in the capital is the eighty-year-old eldest princess of Changfeng.

In the upper room, Qian Yixiu was talking with his arm around the third noble grandfather, which made the third noble grandfather laugh, and his gray beard was raised high. Qian Sangui is most partial to this eldest granddaughter, and she is still like this after so many years. As soon as she came, he was in a very good mood and laughed a lot louder.

Qian Yijing smiled as soon as she entered the door, "The eldest sister is such a big person, and she knows that she is coquettish with her grandfather as soon as she comes." ”

Grandpa Sangui smiled and said, "No matter how old your eldest sister is, she is also the granddaughter of your grandfather." "He had lost two of his front teeth, and he couldn't hold back his speech.

Qian Yijing deliberately pouted and said jealously, "As soon as the eldest sister comes, grandpa won't hurt me." ”

Qian Yixiu listened, and hugged Qian Sangui's arm tighter. Qian Sangui smiled even more heartily when he saw that his two granddaughters were jealous because of robbing themselves.

Wu glanced at his little granddaughter and said with a smile, "It's rare for your eldest sister to come back, and it's embarrassing to be jealous." ”

Sisi ran over with a smile and hugged Qian Yijing and said with a smile, "Auntie, auntie, don't eat my mother's vinegar, grandpa doesn't care about you, Sisi takes care of you." ”

Sisi is almost seven years old, the little girl is extremely beautiful, and she is very similar to Qian Yijing, looking at the two like sisters, and the relationship is also very good.

When she said this, she made everyone laugh again.

After a while, the boys got out of school, and Qian Yiyuan, Liang Sicheng, and Liang Sixin all came back, and they studied in the Pan family. Because the Pan family did a good job, the Liang Sicheng brothers did not specifically invite Mr. to teach in the house, but went there. And fourteen-year-old Qian Yiming studied in Guozijian and did not come back at night.

A few boys came to the house to greet the elders first, and Qian Yixiu asked them about their studies.

Among the three children, Qian Yiyuan is older and better academically. He is like a pan horse, he does a good job in writing and paints well. Liang Sicheng is more like Liang Jinzhao, with good martial arts and calmness. Liang Sixin is the best at speaking, and he is also extremely slippery, good-looking, and almost everyone likes him.

Pan Yue likes him the most. As soon as he came, Pan Yue took him into her arms and screamed in her heart.

was making trouble, Qian Manjiang and Liang Jinzhao came back together. They hurried in, their faces uncontrollable with excitement.

Qian Manjiang first said, "Today, Quanzhou is 800 miles urgent, Yonghe Wang Ye and his entourage have arrived safely at Minjiang Port, and they will be able to return to the capital in about two months." ”

This good news made everyone happy, and Pan Yue also recited the Buddha excitedly. Qian Yijing was even more excited, and Brother Ji, who had been thinking about it for a long time, was finally coming back.

Liang Jinzhao said again, "The Holy Lord is extremely happy, saying that the prince of Yonghe has not only exchanged national letters and established diplomatic relations with several countries on the other side, but also brought 100 students from their countries to study in Daqian. The Holy One instructed the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the welcoming ceremony, and he was to go out of the city to greet him in person. ”

In March of the second year of Zhenguang, Zhu Suji took more than 100 large ships, more than 10,000 people, carrying countless silk, porcelain, tea and other items, and sailed to the West under the leadership of Li Laowai, Jack and Sean.

Among the more than 10,000 people, in addition to officials, soldiers, sailors, and merchants, there were also 100 students who went to study in Fanguo.

These students are almost all children of some poor families, and they all have the name of showing talents. The court promised that when they returned to China after studying for a few years, they would directly give them the birth of Jinshi and enter the yamen or the Guozi to teach.

There are a few exceptions among the students, one is Liang Jinzhen, who went to Fanguo to learn his favorite arithmetic. One is Brother Yi, Pan Zhanyi, who wants to see a different world.

The other two are Qian Yide and Cai Xiaoji.

Qian Yide inherited the adventures and speculation of the old man Qian, and felt that this time he went out, it would be very different when he came back, and he wanted to gamble on a good future. He felt that he might not be able to be admitted to the Jinshi like his lobby brother Qian Yishan, so it was better to go abroad and come back to be more decent than the Jinshi.

Cai Xiaoji is a good speaker, and he acts as a translator for these international students while studying.

Although these international students learned from Sean and Jack in advance, they were still not very good. And Sean and Jack will not stay in their home country with the international students, he will follow Yonghe Wang Ye back to Daqian. So Cai Xiaoji worked as a translator there, and he learned Mandarin with two foreigners since he was a child, and he has been completely proficient in this language.

For this reason, Qian Yixiu returned it to him in addition to slavery. Because he didn't have the name of showing talent, the emperor made an exception and said that he would come back and give him a reputation.

The purpose of this trip was to establish diplomatic relations, learn from each other, sell the things on the ship, and buy some more needed by the big cadres. Of course, a gift was also prepared for the king there, which was the quintessence of the Daqian Dynasty double-sided embroidered screen.

Qian Yixiu admired the foreign policy of Emperor Zhu Sujin of Mingle very much, and he implemented a long-distance and close-range attack. Some of the nearby islands, except for a few large islands that have already established their own states, have not moved, and some small islands have already been occupied by the Great Qianchao. Not only did they send troops to live there, but they also sent some poor people to live there, and encouraged the Daqian people to intermarry with the natives there.

In later generations, many small countries in Southeast Asia have already been taken over by the big cadres and will no longer be colonies of certain countries.

Moreover, in the waters near the Great Qian Dynasty, the naval warships of the Great Qian Dynasty were patrolling at all times, just like the "international police."

On the other side of the ocean, it is necessary to establish mutually beneficial diplomatic relations and regular trade partnerships.

The occupation of the island was completed by Qi Chengguang, and the diplomatic relations with the other side were completed by Zhu Suji.

For Zhu Suji's safety, Zhu Sujin sent a large number of troops and equipped with many firearms, and Qian Yixiu handed him the clam shell necklace. If he encounters danger, the pearl baby can take him home. Originally, he was going to give him a Red Demon Fruit, but he said that Master Sorrow had already given him one.

These people have been gone for more than two years, and their families are anxiously waiting for their return day and night.

Qian Yixiu and Liang Jinzhao also have a thing that cannot be said by outsiders, that is, next year is the ten-year period that the old fairy said, and the old fairy will take the pearl baby back to their home. Qian Yixiu also wants the pearl baby to come back earlier and have more days to get together.

Because of this happy event, the whole family had a lively meal, and the men also drank a lot of wine.

Qian Manjiang said to Pan Yue again, "Ji'er is coming back soon, and their affairs should be prepared in advance." ”

Pan Yue smiled, "Yes, many things are ready, and I will clean up the Xiaoyao Courtyard tomorrow." After thinking about it, he said, "If you don't eat well, you will definitely starve Ji'er and lose weight." From tomorrow, I will ask people to buy his favorite ingredients, and when I get home, I will make up for him. ”

Qian Manjiang nodded and smiled, "The Xiaoyao Courtyard will be cleaned up, and the Yonghe Royal Mansion will also go and have a look." Ji'er is the prince, and he must have some things of his own after he comes back, and it's not good that everything is done in our house. What he didn't have to say was that this time he went to Fanwai, everyone who went abroad would make a lot of money, and some of his own things let him take back to his house and keep them himself.

Liang Sixin didn't know what his grandfather was thinking, and said with a smile, "Uncle Ji is such a big person, and he is more sticky than me." When he came back, he definitely didn't want to go back to the palace, and he wanted to live at his grandfather's house. ”

His words made everyone laugh.

Pan Yue smiled, "Yes, Ji'er is better than Xiu'er and Jin-Shengshang sticking to me when I am young." As soon as he came to the house, both of them had to be back. ”

Qian Yixiu said with a smile, "Yes, when I was a child, Shengshang and I let him and not rob him." ”
