Chapter 149: Li Wei'er and Li Yue'er crisscross the seven seas

"We are actually the cousins of the younger brother, and we later passed on to the uncle's family. Our biological father is the second uncle of the younger brother," Li Wei'er saw that Zhu Shou couldn't react a little, and said softly.

Zhu Shou is the first time to hear them talk about family affairs, these are people's privacy in this era, and they can't be inquired about casually, if people can tell you this, they trust you very much, and treat you as a real good friend. Zhu Shou was a little excited and a little curious.

"My father is responsible for the family's maritime business, the family calls the father the second master, the uncle is the eldest son is responsible for reading, taking the Jinshi, being an official, the other brothers do not like to read, the grandfather had to hand over the family's business to them to manage, we were raised in the family when we were young and grew up with the younger brother, only left the family at the age of twelve to Chaozhou City, my father has no son, we followed the boat, and went to many places, including Nagasaki and Kagoshima in the Wa Kingdom and more than ten places. Seoul and Busan in North Korea have also been visited. Li Weier continued.

"Hey, idiot, what about you, tell me about you, why don't you let you go out to play at home" Li Yue'er said.

"I really envy you, you can go to so many places since you were a child, I have been locked in this cage-like capital since I was a child, my grandfather doesn't like my father, I always want to change my second uncle as the head of the house, the door of the mansion is always like this, the sword and sword of the fight, my father almost had an accident several times, I have no one to care since I was a child, my mother went early, and I and my nurse depend on each other. There is also an old servant who serves me faithfully. Later, my father became the head of the house, and my life was better, but I didn't expect an illness to go again, and now my family is up to me. Zhu Shou sighed and said.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to mention these sad things" Listening to Zhu Shou's miserable words, Li Yue'er and Li Wei'er were a little unbearable. Li Yue'er said softly. Li Wei'er quietly and gently poured him a cup of coffee.

"It's okay, I'm used to it," Zhu Shou smiled very brightly, "Tell me your story, I really want to hear it"

"What do you want to hear, we have a lot of stories" Li Yue'er smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Let's talk about the story of the sea, I have never seen the sea," Zhu Shou said with a smile.

"The story at sea is brutal, but it is also full of danger, wealth, power and pride. When you get to the sea, there is no court and royal law, everything is determined by strength, but it is simpler than on land. In fact, there is no difference between a maritime merchant and a pirate, when you rob others, you are a pirate, and when you do business with others, you are a maritime merchant. ”

"Really, isn't this too terrifying" Zhu Shou couldn't imagine what kind of world this was.

"In fact, the real masters of the Japanese are all our Ming people, and the pure Japanese groups are a minority, and they are all Ma Tsai and part-time workers."

"Then why do you call them Wakos?"

"The main thing is the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy, many people change their clothes and shave their heads to disguise themselves as Japanese people in order not to affect their families, but they are all fake."

"Is there really so much wealth in the sea that so many people flock to it?"

"Of course, we went to an island in the South China Sea with my father, and there were a lot of dead turtle shells on it, and my father said that it was a hawksbill turtle, which was very valuable, and my sister and I moved hundreds of them onto the ship, and filled our rooms, which took up too much space, and was scolded by my father." Li Weier said.

"Another time, I encountered a shipwrecked Cham, stranded on a small uninhabited reef, and all the people on board died of thirst. Thirty boxes of pearls were found on the ship, and there was a pair of pearls that were black and as big as eggs, and the younger brother said that black pearls were extremely valuable, and only one of the ten million natural pearls was black. Li Yue'er said proudly.

"Is this the case" Zhu Shou took out a money bag, and there was a pair of black pearl perforations at the mouth of the bag to tighten the rope. Pearls are as big as longans.

"Oh, this pair is also very big, well, the variety is about the same, your pair is Xiangpuzhu from Guangxi, and the two of us are from Daxi Real Estate, both of which are Haizhu." Li Yue'er said as if looking firmly.

"When you say natural pearls, are there still cultured pearls?" Zhu Shou asked strangely, thinking that if there was a way to grow pearls artificially, he didn't know how much money he could make.

"Once the younger brother drank too much and said that Fang Zi gave us a dowry, and then the next day he sobered up, and he didn't admit it, saying that he didn't remember, and we were angry and pulled his ears." Li Weier said.

"Have you ever encountered danger at sea?" Zhu Shou asked.

"As long as you go out to sea, there is danger at any time, wind and waves, hitting the rocks, getting lost, fighting. If you go to sea, you can't be cowardly, you must be brave. There are also many women on the sea, and the eldest lady of the Lin family of the Chaozhou Fucheng clan often takes the fleet to the sea, sometimes to Luzon, sometimes to Nagasaki, we often meet at sea, and her family's fleet is larger than ours. Li Weier said.

"Once, when we were carrying a cargo to Malacca City, we encountered a merchant ship from the Princely State of Tianzhu in the strait, relying on three bronze cannons to rob us. We approached and hooked the ship's side with an iron hook and jumped over to take possession of their ship. It was really thrilling, we were still young, my father hid us in the barrel and didn't allow us to come out, the boat was all disorganized, and a lead bullet from the fire bolt broke the barrel and passed between the two of us" Li Weier patted her chest with palpitations.

"Yes, that time was really scared to death, I looked out from the hole in the barrel, there was a strong man on the Tianzhu ship, a giant, seven feet high (31.1 centimeters) choked Daddy's throat, Daddy's legs were off the ground, we secretly climbed out and one picked up a dagger, crawled behind him and cut his hamstrings, after he fell, one of them stabbed him in the eye, and saved Daddy." Li Yue'er said.

Zhu Shou shuddered, he didn't expect this gentle and quiet sister flower to have such an experience.

"I scared you," Li Weier said apologetically.

"No, it's just a little unexpected, the two girls are such ladies, they can be so brave and decisive in the face of danger, the two girls are really filial people, and they are also brave people, which is admirable." Zhu Shou hurriedly said that he was worried that he would be looked down upon by women if he was timid.

"Actually, it's not that dangerous, we have good kung fu, and we are very good at water. Ordinary people couldn't beat us, and in those years when we were young, we hid under the table and cut off their feet, or set fire to their navels. When we were fourteen years old, we were five feet tall, and we had been practicing Tongjiquan for eight years, and we were able to use Miao/knife skillfully, and my sister used it better than me. Li Yue'er said proudly.
