Zhang Zhijie was reading a book in front of the window, and there was no other pastime on the boat except to read a book to pass the time, so even Zhang Zhijie, a person who had a headache when he read a book, could only pick up a book to pass the time.

However, Zhang Zhijie never expected that Qiaoqiao and her personal maid came, usually at this time, Magnolia came to deliver hot water, and it would come to collect it after a while.

Zhang Zhijie resolutely didn't need to be served by the guards, and let the big men serve him, he felt very awkward. Over time, these subordinates became accustomed to it.

So when he saw that it was Qiaoqiao who came in shyly, Zhang Zhijie was stunned. The Qiaoqiao girl blushed and said, "Admiral Zhang, there is no one who knows the cold and the hot to serve you when you go out, how can this work?" I saw that Bai Qianhu just sent the hot water over, and Admiral Zhang cleaned it up by himself, so I took the liberty to come over and asked Admiral Zhang not to mind my abruptness! ”

Zhang Zhijie came back to his senses at this time, got up and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I've been running around a lot over the years, and I'm used to going out, so I'll just come by myself." ”

"How can that work? If Mrs. Houfu and Grandma know about this, why don't you feel distressed? Since I and Vanilla are on the boat, let's do it for Sister Xu and them, and I hope Admiral Zhang won't think I'm stupid. Qiaoqiao blushed and looked at Zhang Zhijie and said.

Qiaoqiao girl has already come with a maid with hot water, what did Zhang Zhijian do? Drive them back? How much courage do people have to muster to do this, it is too heart-wrenching.

Besides, Wu Zhongcheng's mind is already so clear, after going to sea this time, he has to say to Xu Jiaying to admit Qiaoqiao into the door, in this case, Zhang Zhijie will naturally not refuse people thousands of miles away.

So Zhang Zhijie groaned slightly, and then nodded and said, "It's okay, then it's troublesome girl!" ”

Qiaoqiao heard that Zhang Zhijie agreed so happily, and her heart blossomed, and she stepped forward to serve Zhang Zhijie to wash up with a shy face, and the vanilla was on the side.

originally thought that Qiaoqiao was just a delicate lady, although she was serving herself, but it should also be vanilla. I didn't expect Qiaoqiao to get started in person, and it was very appropriate.

After washing, Qiaoqiao took Zhang Zhijie's arm and said, "Admiral Zhang, sit down!" ”

Zhang Zhijie sat down on the chair, Vanilla brought the hot water tray over, Qiaoqiao had already squatted down and was about to take off Zhang Zhijie's shoes, Zhang Zhijie was taken aback.

After all, Qiaoqiao is everyone's young lady, Wu Zhongcheng is a salt merchant in Yangzhou, with a huge family fortune and many servants, and there is only this one pearl in the palm of his hand, so Qiaoqiao was really born with a golden spoon.

So Zhang Zhijie was still taken aback by Qiaoqiao who took off his shoes and washed his feet in person, even Xu Jiaying had never done so. Zhang Zhijie thought it was vanilla, but he didn't expect it to be Qiaoqiao himself.

Zhang Zhijie was a little moved and said: "Don't, I'll do it myself!" ”

Vanilla was a little nervous when she stood aside, after all, she knew what kind of pampered life Miss lived, and she never thought that one day Miss would wash people's feet.

So the vanilla period Ai Ai said: "Miss, why don't you come with me?" ”

As he spoke, Qiaoqiao had already taken off Zhang Zhijie's shoes and was taking off his socks, pursing his lips and smiling: "What is this?" ”

Zhang Zhijie didn't say anything more, quietly watched Qiaoqiao gently wash her feet, wipe them clean, and finally said goodnight and left with vanilla.

In the following days, Zhang Zhijie woke up every morning, and Qiaoqiao came in with vanilla to serve him to freshen up, and in the evening, he would also bring vanilla to serve him to wash. The relationship between Qiaoqiao and Zhang Zhijie quickly became closer, which surprised Qiaoqiao girl, she actually understood in her heart that when the fleet returned, she should marry her.

Just when Qiaoqiao's heart was sweet all the way, the fleet finally arrived at Hakata Bay. This year's Hakata Bay is extraordinarily lively, many merchants of the Ming Dynasty chose to come to Hakata Bay to trade, and in the same way, many merchants of the Wa Kingdom also traveled thousands of miles to Hakata Bay, because the reputation of Hakata Bay spread all over the Wa Kingdom, and here is a trade area set up by the Ming Dynasty.

Although the mountain is very lively and will bring a good income to Tachibana Yamajo, Tachibana Yamajo does not have a festive atmosphere. Because the people of Tachibanayama Castle knew that the tranquility of Tachibanayama Castle was based on the force of the Ming Dynasty, but the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty did not come to Hakata Bay for a long time.

Every day, Tachibana would climb the castle wall and look out at the distant sea, where merchant ships were flowing endlessly, but the fleet she was waiting for did not appear, although she knew that Zhang Zhijie would not be able to follow the fleet to Hakata Bay.

But she still hopes that the fleet can come to Hakata Bay, not only because of Tachibana Mountain Castle, she wants to know the news of Zhang Zhijie, even if it is just to hear others mention it.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Zhixue was a little stunned, and she didn't know what Zhang Zhijie was doing at this moment. Just when she was a little stunned, Hexiang Ji, who was holding her arm, suddenly brightened her beautiful eyes, because a dark shadow appeared on the sea in the distance.

She had witnessed the huge fleet turn into a black shadow, and since then she has remained in her heart, and now this black shadow has appeared in front of her again, and Hexiang Ji said happily: "Sister Xue, here you are!" The flotilla is coming! Look there. ”

Tachibana Zhixue suddenly raised her head, and at a glance saw a black shadow on the sea in the distance, Tachibana Zhixue's heart also pounded, although she knew that Zhang Zhijie could not go to sea with the ship again, but she couldn't help but get excited in her heart.

"I don't know if it's Chang Yun or Feng Haisheng who is leading the fleet, Hexiang, you go down the mountain to take a look in a while, if he is not busy, please ask him to go up the mountain!" Tachibana Zhixue smiled and said, even if Zhang Zhijie didn't come, there would definitely be a letter.

Hakata Bay is even more lively than last year, Zhang Zhijie is very pleased to see the ships coming and going on the sea, it seems that everything is fine here, and Tachibana Mountain City has not been invaded, otherwise this place would not be so prosperous.

Very good, it seems that last year's battle really shook Bungo and Chikuzen countries very much, and they didn't dare to act because the fleet didn't come for a long time.

Qiaoqiao stood beside Zhang Zhijie, looked at it with interest, and said with a smile: "Is this Hakata Bay?" Sure enough, the scenery is beautiful, what a beautiful mountain town! ”

Zhang Zhijie looked at the Tachibana Mountain Castle in the distance, and smiled with emotion: "Yes, this is Hakata Bay!" That mountain castle is Tachibana Mountain Castle. ”

Qiao Qiao knew that the female city lord must have been waiting for the arrival of the fleet on the mountain city, but Qiao Qiao did not have much jealousy, because her mother had reminded her before going to sea that Admiral Zhang was likely to have a confidante overseas.
