Chapter XVIII: Cardinal Archbishops

Shuyun named them separately, the male horse was called Chasing Cloud, the female horse was called Treading Snow, and the little donkey was called Flame.

Chasing clouds and stepping on snow are very good, and they seem very docile when they are next to Shuyun, without the recklessness they had when they first saw them. However, this is only for Shuyun, as for the others, they are still dismissive.

And the little donkey flame is a bit of a problem, this little guy sees everyone salivating, slapping the horse, a donkey's face is full of flattery and flattery. What he did was to cheat some food and drink, and the means could be described as full of tricks, and he did everything he could. And this guy still eats everything, you say you are a donkey, just eat some grass, but it doesn't, it's chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables, everything. As soon as the thing reached his mouth, he changed his face, pouted his little tail, raised his little hooves, turned his head, and ran away stubbornly. It also left the victim with a disdainful look. Its behavior can be called the best among donkeys and the scum of beasts.

And the one who suffers the most is Tom, and I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Flame likes to tease him the most, and Tom is stupid and fools every time. Then he would yell in frustration, and then swear to God that he would never pay attention to the donkey again, but soon his roar would sound again. Alas, I was deceived again, Tom Shoes, please make your face longer. God, the old man is also very busy, okay, don't you swear to him every ten minutes, and leave some opportunities for others.

In the midst of this talk, Soyun and Tom traveled all over the Arab world, buying many specialties such as local gold and silver ornaments and Damascus knives.

Among the many countries in the Arab region, there is a specialty called date, which is the fruit of the date palm tree. This fruit is the raw material for sugar making and brewing, and the fruit is also a treasure, which can be eaten or pomacked oil. In Iraq, dates are known as "green gold", and people in many Arab countries believe that the date palm has given the greatest blessing to the Arabs. There is also a tree in Shuyun's space, which was of average quality when it was originally planted, and it was already very good after the optimization of the space. But it's still a lot worse than some of the best. So Shuyun took advantage of the opportunity now and did everything possible to find two superb wild trees to enter the space.

And Tom is no longer surprised by Shuyun's ability to get the things that have just arrived in the blink of an eye. People also have a memory, who wants to be yelled at all the time. They didn't see it, and when they did, they ignored it.

Passing through the Arab region, Shuyun pestered Tom to make a detour to Turkmenistan. There's something that has been coveted for a long time, an animal to be exact, the Akkha-Takma, or what is often referred to as the Sweaty Horse. This is a very beautiful and extremely elegant horse breed. This ** was left in the previous life, even the slightly smaller rich people couldn't afford it, and now that they have the opportunity, they have to find a way to get two horses. Besides, Tom should have a decent mount too.

After going around Turkmenistan for a long time, Shuyun got a pair of pure white superlatives, named Thunder and Lightning. And Shuyun also bought a dark brown horse for Tom, and named it Foreigner. Tom likes foreigners very much, and often says that when he looks at foreigners, he thinks of cute Yunyun babies. This made Shuyun depressed, and she couldn't help but scold, "Please, is it difficult for me to look like a horse?" ”

Before they knew it, it had been five years since Shuyun and Tom came out of the Holy See, and five years seemed like a long time, but for Shuyun and Tom, it seemed like a flash. These five years have been simple, fulfilling and happy.

The time had come for the Pope, so Shuyun and Tom decided to rush to Sri Lanka, the last stop of their trip, and then take a boat back to the Holy See.

Sri Lanka is a jewel in the Indian Ocean and a world-famous gemstone kingdom with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and cat's eyes. Among them, opal exists as the national stone of Sri Lanka.

The reason why Shuyun wanted to take a detour to come here was because she had a lot of gold from selling silk and porcelain. As long as a small part is set aside for living expenses and funds for the purchase of property after returning to China, it is fine. The rest will be exchanged for gems. As a woman, like the legendary dragon, she loves things that are shiny and shiny. Although Shuyun and the two worlds combined, she is already an authentic old woman. But no matter who it is, even invincible time can't erase a woman's passion for jewelry. Don't ignore the greed of women, who sometimes tell you that they are more terrible than wolves when it comes to jewelry. Even Shuyun, a reborn person, is not exempt from vulgarity. Even if Shuyun doesn't like to wear it, she still wants to collect it. Taking it out when there is nothing to do, and slowly appreciating it one by one is one of Shuyun's favorite things to do.

In Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, Shuyun and Tom exchanged and bought two large boxes of various high-quality gemstones and countless unpolished and cut rough stones with the help of the local church. Later, at Tom's urging, he reluctantly left.

It can be said that Shuyun's harvest in recent years is still good. Gold and silver jewelry, all kinds of plants, a wide variety of local specialties, fine wines, food, cosmetics and how to make them, thousands of horses, hundred miles of donkeys and some precious classics from all over the world.

In the twelfth year of Kangxi (1673 AD), Shuyun and Tom returned to the Holy See, and Shuyun was already 16 years old this year.

Upon his return to the Holy See, Tom was warmly welcomed by all the members of the Holy See and was exceptionally promoted to the rank of Cardinal Archbishop at the age of 35.

In fact, there is a reason for such a result. At the beginning, because Shuyun offended almost all the papal see, Tom was forced to take Shuyun to start traveling in Europe, and then because of Shuyun's search, they almost became a public nuisance in Europe, and were listed as refusal by European nobles.

So-yun did that because she knew she couldn't stay with Tom for the rest of her life. Although China is now a feudal dynasty ruled by the Manchus, it is his hometown after all, and Shuyun must go back. So for Tom's future life, Shuyun hopes that it will be smooth sailing. Then while he hasn't left yet, he has to help him plan well.

If you want to be remembered by others, or even be impressed. In addition to his own outstanding conversation, temperament and appearance. It's about making something memorable. If a person does a good deed, everyone may praise him at the time, but it may not be long before it will be replaced by a new topic, and it will not even be talked about and impressed like some people's romantic affairs. But what about doing bad things? Especially the bad things that harm their vital interests. Then the damaged person will never forget it for the rest of his life.

The first thing is to be remembered, and then there is an excuse to continue dating. That is, no matter what, the child has done something wrong, and as his temporary guardian, he must compensate everyone for their losses. So under Shuyun's plan, whenever they went to a place or during the New Year's holidays, they would ask Tom to write some greetings to those European royals and nobles, and send some souvenirs or gadgets as apologies. Sometimes it's cheap but intimate, sometimes it's more expensive. There are also skills in giving gifts, especially for those who are in good condition, and don't care what the price is, the key is to be intimate. If you send too expensive as soon as you come up, it will look cold and hard, and it will be fake. No matter what you do, you should pay attention to a step-by-step process.

Of course, the things that Shuyun looted when she came out were also bearable, but she would feel a little bit of pain, and she was quite good at grasping the proportions. Either it won't be impressed, but a grudge.

Shuyun and they have been doing this persistently in the past few years of travel, so everyone thinks that Tom connived at Shuyun because of his pity for a little orphan girl in a foreign country, which is a kind performance. And the continuous compensation of everyone to do their best is the embodiment of generosity and sincerity. He is a very worthy partner, and such a young bishop may have a bright future in the future. Of course, the sedan chair is carried by everyone. So over the years, Tom developed a deep friendship with these European aristocrats.

Of course, the people of the Holy See did the same. Even the aunt who cleaned the toilet did not fall behind. It's really everything. As for Shuyun's own reputation, she wouldn't care.

So when Tom returned to the Holy See, his work was well received by all the kings and nobles of Europe. After a discussion among all the staff, headed by the Pope, it was decided to elevate him to cardinal archbishop.

Shuyun finally felt relieved about this. But Tom wasn't as happy as he had imagined. He began to become sullen and often preoccupied. Sook Yun knew that Tom was worried about something. But there is no feast in the world, and they will be separated after all.

So So-yun didn't try to comfort Tom. She didn't want to write a blank check to Tom. So Shuyun has been busy sorting out the items in the space these days. Sort them all out one by one. Harvest some of the medicinal herbs and crops that are already ripe. Then select the seeds of good quality, classify and preserve them. It is also necessary to plant the seeds of plants that have been collected recently. There are more and more animals in the space, and they sometimes destroy some plants and medicinal herbs if they are not careful. So Shuyun moved the bamboo, which already had a certain size, to the area around the medicine garden and vegetable garden. Now the space has been cleaned up neatly, and it has returned to its original order. Even on the pasture, Shuyun divided the livestock into their own areas. An acre is also set aside as a public activity area, so that the animals can better communicate. Don't underestimate the animals in the space, they are all very smart.

The things to be left for Tom, Shuyun also sorted out by the way. Clothing, hats, shoes and socks, daily necessities, alcohol, tea and food that can be stored for a long time, and most importantly, all kinds of medicines. And help him buy some more clothes. Try to be as thoughtful as possible in every detail. Shuyun is also going to give Tom a mischievous sheepdog named Pippi from Wangcai and Laifusheng.

So Shuyun is very busy these days.
