Zhu Cijiong originally planned to directly negotiate with the King of Spain on the issue of arms and warship assistance, that is, the Ming Dynasty gave weapons and warships to Spain for free or Spain gave some money to Spain, so that Spain and the Holy Roman Empire could continue to fight against the Habsburgs, but after meeting Philip IV, he changed his mind, and he didn't even dare to mention the issue of weapons and warship assistance.

Because, as can be seen from the various performances of Philip IV, he is a man of excellent face, and it is clear that his army is not enough, so he slaps his swollen face and gathers all the troops to put on a show; Obviously he had no money to fight, so he had to invite himself to a luxurious lunch worth tens of thousands of taels of gold; Obviously he was beaten up by someone, and he also said that surrender is a strategy, this kind of person, you dare to say: I will help you with some weapons, this will not slap him in the face, he will definitely turn his face with you immediately!

So at this lavish luncheon, neither side mentioned the topic of war, Philip IV seemed to be more interested in enjoying life, when Princess Anna inadvertently mentioned the air conditioning and heating in the palace, he even inquired in detail about the structure and principle of these two things, and immediately arranged for someone to do it, it doesn't matter if there is no power, just find a few people to take turns to turn the blades with the handle.

Although the food for this meal was all good things of astonishing value, Zhu Cijiong didn't taste anything, and he couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he had to stay in the palace first.

Unexpectedly, only lived for less than two days, Princess Anna couldn't sit still, clamoring to go outside, it turned out that there were several workshops in Madrid City that specialized in making clothes for princes and nobles, and the clothes made were fashionable and well-made, and they were very famous in the whole continent, Princess Anna used to go to Madrid every time she came to Madrid to go around a few times, and this time she had not been to visit once for a few days, and she felt that her heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratch.

Anyway, I can't think of a way for a while, it's okay to go out for a walk, Zhu Cijiong's only worry is that the gold coins can't be used here, but this worry is superfluous, he made people inquire to know, it doesn't matter what the gold coins look like, people can't calculate it by one, just by weight, as long as it's real gold, it can be used in any way.

Since there is no problem with the money, then go, Zhu Cijiong asked people to say hello to Philip IV, asked for a big carriage and more than 20 horses, and took Qin Mingyue, Princess Anna, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong, Cao Huachun, Wang Zhengnan and more than 20 Jinyi Wei and Dongchang masters, and set off with a few boxes of gold coins.

Because Zhu Cijiong stipulated that after arriving in Europe, they must wear uniforms, that is, Chongzheng clothes, this group of people did not cause much sensation when they came to the street, because Chongzheng clothes are closer to European-style military uniforms, as long as you don't look at your face carefully, you won't find that they are Orientals, and at this time, the European nobles are very bullish, who dares to stare at these people.

Wandering in the streets of Madrid, Zhu Cijiong recalled his previous life, the streets here are relatively close to the modern connection, the middle is a stone road, lined with brick and stone buildings, although most of them only have two or three floors, but it is completely different from the carved fence and jade building of the Ming Dynasty, and the courtyard of the deep house, it is a bit like a small county town in the previous life.

At this time, the city of Madrid was not very large, and everyone soon came to the first workshop, which was a two-story brick and stone building with a large area, Zhu Cijiong, Princess Anna and Qin Mingyue had just stepped out of the carriage, and there was an old woman dressed as a noblewoman, and exclaimed in surprise: "I thought it was the little prince of which country came, it turned out to be Her Royal Highness Princess Anna, I haven't seen you here for a long time." “

They were in the carriage of the royal family, and the boss here naturally knew each other, so they came out from afar, and Princess Anna said happily when she saw this noble lady: "Selena, if you have any new dresses, bring them to me to try, and these two distinguished male guests are all princes and nobles of the Ming Empire in the East, you can ask someone to entertain them." “

After that, she pulled Zhu Cijiong and Qin Mingyue and was about to rush in, but the boss named Selena stared at Zhu Cijiong and asked in horror: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that you are married to an emperor of the Far Eastern Empire, is this ......?" “

Zhu Cijiong confessed, don't reveal his identity when you go shopping, otherwise you won't be able to shop, Princess Anna hurriedly said: "Don't ask so much, hurry up and take us in to have a look." “

That Selena naturally didn't dare to ask any more, and hurriedly took them inside, although this continent is relatively open, but there are still differences between men and women, and the men's and women's clothing areas are also separated, Selena called a few male tailors to explain a few words, and asked them to take Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong to the men's clothing area to try on clothes, and then took Princess Anna and Qin Mingyue to the women's clothing area, as for Zhu Cijiong, he was really not interested in buying clothes, so he told Wang Zhengnan and Cao Huachun to watch outside, He himself followed Princess Anna into the women's section.

The women's clothing area was not devoid of men, and there were a few young men sitting in the room where they were picking clothes, but as soon as they saw Princess Anna coming in, they immediately stood up and saluted: "Hello, Your Royal Highness Princess Anna." “

After saying that, he ran out in a gloomy manner, there are not so many dukes, marquises, and counts in Europe, most of these are the sons of barons and viscounts, and naturally they can't afford to climb the pearl of the Habsburg dynasty, they don't dare to stare at Princess Anna here to choose clothes.

Princess Anna was thinking about the new clothes at this time, where was there time to pay attention to them, as soon as she came in, she pulled Qin Mingyue to look around, everyone has a love for beauty, although Qin Mingyue has a gentle and elegant personality, but she also has no resistance to the new clothes, and soon the two chattered and discussed.

It is a bit similar to the clothing supermarket in later generations, but there are not so many clothes, and the hangers are more exquisite, generally there is a piece of clothing hanging on a hanger, but there are quite a lot of hangers, I am afraid that there are not hundreds.

Zhu Cijiong didn't run over to look at the clothes, but sat at the small table where the few people were sitting just now and continued to think about how to sabotage the peace talks, it's difficult, it's really difficult, the situation is so unfavorable, unless someone sends them a lot of weapons and warships, otherwise they can't win the war at all, the problem is that now the weapons and warships don't know how to send them, and if you don't send them well, people will turn their faces with you, it's really difficult!

Originally, a few aristocratic girls who picked out clothes and tried on clothes naturally knew Princess Anna, and they were also afraid of accidentally provoking this noble princess, so gradually everyone was gone, leaving only Princess Anna and Qin Mingyue to discuss and try inside.

It is very troublesome for this woman to buy clothes, she may not necessarily buy what she likes, but she will not make a decision after trying it, and she may not necessarily try what she doesn't like, in short, she will try and try, look in front of the mirror, and in the end she may not buy a single one!

And Zhu Cijiong unfortunately became a mirror, for a while Princess Anna changed a skirt for him to evaluate, and for a while Qin Mingyue changed a dress for him to come to the staff officer, Zhu Cijiong is well versed in the truth, most of the evaluations are "very good", "very beautiful" and the like, at most, it will be "where is there a problem with this skirt", and will never say "This is not suitable for you to wear", "That you are not beautiful to wear" and other words to find a beating, so Princess Anna and Qin Mingyue tried harder, It's a great way to try on all the clothes inside!
