"You have a good rest after eating, and I'll come to talk to you tomorrow!" Zhao Jia said to Agnes with a smile on his face, Yi Kela has been dragged by Steward Lu to drink, so he also knows that the other party can't understand his words, but it's nothing, anyway, it's just a polite goodbye, it doesn't matter if the other party understands it or not, so after finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

It's just that Zhao Jia didn't know that after he turned around and left, Agnes, who was standing in the hall, looked at his departing back, and whispered softly: "Thank you!" ”

The word "thank you" is in Song dialect, and Agnes's pronunciation is very standard, definitely not learned in a short time, in other words, in fact, she has long understood Chinese, but for some reasons, she deliberately concealed it.

After Zhao Jia left, Agnes had the opportunity to take a look at the courtyard where she was, although this courtyard was much smaller than her previous residence, but it was very exquisitely arranged, especially the surrounding ornaments were with a strong Great Song style, which was also very much liked by her, since she knew the country of the Great Song Dynasty, she was full of interest in this country, although she had not yet reached the mainland of the Great Song Dynasty, and she had lost her freedom, but she was able to live in this courtyard full of the style of the Great Song Dynasty. It can be regarded as giving her a trace of comfort.

While Agnes was surveying the courtyard, someone came in from outside, led by a young woman, followed by two middle-aged women, who were carrying a round box in their hands, and looked very distinct. Perhaps the three men knew that Agnes could not understand them, so they did not say anything to her when they came in, and the young woman asked the two women to put the round box on the table, and when they opened it, Agnes saw that it was actually a plate of dishes inside.

Porcelain, porcelain, and porcelain. Agnes was hungry, but looked at the dishes served on this plate. Her eyes were drawn to the porcelain plates that served the dishes, and there was also porcelain in her hometown, most of which were transported by the Arabs, or the great cannibals of the Song Dynasty, which were not only scarce in quantity, but also extremely expensive. Even in her identity, porcelain was only seen at large banquets in the past, and most of the tableware she used was gold and silverware, which was far worse than the price of porcelain, but now it has not yet reached the Great Song Dynasty, and such a casual table of meals in front of her is all porcelain, and it seems that the porcelain production of the Great Song Dynasty is far more than she imagined.

"Little lady, let's eat!" The young woman laid out the meal and spoke to her. At the same time, she made a gesture to eat, this woman looked like a Song person, but her Chinese was a little awkward, and Agnes felt that her Chinese was stronger than her, which made her a little strange, and she wondered if this woman was not a Song person?

In fact, Agnes guessed right, the woman who served her was indeed not a Song person, but a Korean person. Steward Lu had just reached middle age, and he was sitting in Nanyang because he had to do things for the palace. He couldn't bear to bring his family, mainly because of the hot climate in Nanyang, and he was afraid that the people in his family would not be able to adapt to it, so he came here alone, but he was inevitably a little lonely, so he bought two Goryeo concubines to serve. This young woman was one of his concubines, and he sent here to take care of Agnes, although Zhao Jia said that he didn't plan to have anything to do with Agnes, but Steward Lu didn't dare to slack off because of this.

Hearing the words of the Goryeo concubine, Agnes deliberately showed a confused expression. She had accumulated a lot of experience before, and even Zhao Jia didn't see the flaws, and then when she saw the other party's gestures, she deliberately asked a few words in her native language, and then made a few gestures, and waited until the other party explained a few times again, then she pretended to have a suddenly realized expression, and then thanked the other party.

This Goryeo concubine was very enthusiastic, worried that Agnes would not be able to use chopsticks, so she instructed the two servants to boil hot water and prepare for Agnes to bathe, and she stayed to serve Agnes with food, in fact, what she didn't know was that Agnes would have used chopsticks for a long time, but in order not to show flaws, she still pretended to be clumsy and followed the other party to learn to eat with chopsticks.

Steward Lu asked the concubine to send these meals are very exquisite, in fact, these meals are ordered from the best restaurant in Nanyang Port, Agnes was already very hungry, when she tasted these carefully cooked dishes, she couldn't help but be surprised, she had tasted some of the food of the Great Song Dynasty before, but because of the limited conditions, those foods were cooked very ordinary, which made Agnes a little disappointed with the diet of the Great Song Dynasty, but now she has tasted these carefully cooked delicacies, I found that the diet of the Great Song Dynasty was no worse than that of the Romans, and even better.

You must know that in the later period of the Roman Empire, the whole empire was addicted to enjoyment, and the diet was the pursuit of excellence, so in the minds of Europeans in this period, the Roman diet represented deliciousness and gorgeousness, Agnes had tasted a lot of Roman diet before, thinking that it was already the ultimate in delicious food, but now after tasting the diet of the Great Song Dynasty, he found that his previous conclusion was too early, and this is only the Great Song Dynasty diet in Nanyang Port, if it is to the Tokyo City of the Great Song Dynasty, Presumably, the food there will be more delicious, although the exquisite food may not represent anything, but it can also show the strength of the Great Song civilization from the side.

Agnes is indeed hungry, in fact, she has not eaten anything since she was caught by Hu San yesterday, because she was worried that the other party would drug herself, and even when Zhao Jia invited her to drink tea before, she did not taste it, although she had heard of the name of tea before, and she had always wanted to taste it, but for safety, she still endured it and did not taste it.

However, through this afternoon's contact, Agnes can already be sure that Zhao Jia has no ill will towards him, he just wants to understand the situation in Europe through himself, as for why Zhao Jia is interested in Europe, this is not something Agnes can figure out, but these are not important to her, she can finally eat with peace of mind now, the only bad thing is that she needs to pretend that she doesn't know how to use chopsticks, which makes this meal a little long.

After dinner, Agnes took a break before going to take a bath, when she was at home, there was a special bathroom, the bathroom was made of marble, which was also built according to the bath of the Roman nobles, and even the bath could be used as a swimming pool, but in this small courtyard of Nanyang Harbor was certainly not so luxurious, the bathing place was just a small room, and in the room was a huge wooden barrel, which contained hot water emitting white steam.

Looking at the relatively simple bath barrel in front of her, Agnes felt an unprecedented joy, before she had been adrift at sea for nearly a year, during that time, what she longed for most was to take a comfortable hot bath, but unfortunately she didn't expect to reach the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and she suffered one after another, first the uncle who saved herself disappeared into the ocean due to a storm, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to survive, and then they encountered pirates, and almost wiped out because of this, and finally she fell into the hands of human traffickers, Fortunately, I met Zhao Jia, a teenager who had no ill will towards her, which should be the only good thing she has encountered during this time.

At that moment, Agnes took off her clothes, and then stepped on the stool into the bathtub, when the hot water slowly covered her whole body, she couldn't help but feel comfortable, and then sat there with her eyes closed, not moving, she also found out for the first time that taking a hot bath was so comfortable.

Agnes soaked in the hot water for a long time before she slowly opened her eyes, and then she realized that there was a tray on the high stool next to the bathtub, and there were some toiletries in the tray, not to mention towels and the like, one of the strange objects carved into flowers attracted her attention, and she couldn't help but reach out and take it, and it turned out to be a piece of grease, but it was not as smooth as grease, and the whole was translucent, and it looked very beautiful.

"This ...... It can't be the soap my uncle said, right? Agnes looked at it for a long time, and finally said with some uncertainty, because she had only heard the uncle who had rescued her from Europe mentioned it, but she had never seen it, so she was not sure.

At the moment, Agnes wiped this suspected soap thing on her body, and sure enough, there was a lot of white foam, and the dirt on her body quickly fell, revealing her original fair skin, which made Agnes also very happy, and at the same time, this thing can also be soap, and it does have an excellent effect in removing dirt, and what surprised her even more was that the smell of soap was also very good, as if it was some kind of floral fragrance, but she had never smelled it, it was estimated that it was a certain flower unique to the Great Song Dynasty.

Agnes washed for nearly an hour before washing it, during which the Goryeo concubine came in several times to heat the water and helped her wipe her body by the way, which made Agnes blush a lot, because she was so dirty, after all, no matter what your identity is, if you haven't bathed at sea for nearly a year, your body will be covered with dirt.

After finally taking a bath, Agnes changed into clean clothes brought by the concubine of Goryeo, but this was a set of skirts worn by women in the Great Song Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Zhao Jia came to the courtyard where Agnes lived again, ready to continue to ask her about the situation in Europe, but at this time, Steward Lu reported something to him, which made him frown. (To be continued.) )
