Now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the Xia Dynasty is powerful, so there is a saying that all countries will come to the court.

At the beginning of October, envoys from various countries entered Beijing one after another.

They were amazed to find that the buildings in Beijing were not only magnificent, the roads wide and clean, the streets were bustling and bustling, and the people were also very enthusiastic.

A large number of envoys entered the city, and their clothes and appearances were different from those of the Xia Dynasty, but the people would not look at them with strange eyes, nor would they retreat, but would take the initiative to greet them warmly.

From the elderly to the youngsters, everyone can say a few words of greeting them in a foreign language, and they can use the language corresponding to their country accurately.

The envoys could not help but sigh one after another: Daxia is worthy of being a big country, and even ordinary people have mastered many Chinese languages, which shows the high quality of its people.

In this way, can the national strength be strong?

As a result, the envoys were more respectful, and even considered whether the gifts they brought to the emperor were not enough and not good enough, and whether the emperor would not look down on them.

A large number of foreign guests have entered the city, which not only makes the city more and more lively due to the increase in population, but also greatly promotes the economic development of the city.

Due to the different national conditions, the traditions and customs of each country are also different, so the envoys of various countries are extremely new and curious about everything in Beijing.

Therefore, from restaurants and teahouses to roadside stalls, there is no place that is not profitable.

Qi Wuju is naturally among them.

The teahouse is not new, but the comics are fresh, not only the painting style is funny, the characters are exquisite, the storyline is even more fascinating, many ministers are fascinated by the comics, and occupy a position in Qi Wuju, and sit for a day.

Qi Wuju is like a cloud of customers on weekdays, and there are so many foreign guests and customers, and it is even more crowded.

There was no way, Zhou Yong had to rearrange the layout of Qi Wuju, adding tables and chairs to make it more accommodating; Under the cries of the masses, the number of storytelling sessions had to be added.

The two storytellers were spinning all day, and they were tired and didn't want to say a word.

At this time, the troupe formed by Zhou Jingrong before came in handy.

In the past, when he was in Puhe County, Qi Wuju had a stage play based on the legend of the manga merman every month, and the demand was very high.

came to Beijing to open a branch of Qi Wuju, and Zhou Jingrong was busy making new comics, so he entrusted the formation of the troupe and the selection of actors to Zhou Yong, and did not ask again.

Xu is because of the pearl jade of Wei Chirou in front, Zhou Jingrong and Zhou Yong are a little picky, and the choice of the heroine has not been decided, so the stage play has been rehearsed first, but has never appeared.

Now is a good time for stage plays.

As a result, following the grand scene of thousands of empty alleys brought by the comics, the appearance of stage plays once again caused a sensation in the city.

Zhou Jingrong put all her energy into comics and Qi Wuju, but she never thought that on this day, Qingyan, who was forgotten by her, suddenly had a big customer.

Zhou Jingrong originally planned to close the store after emptying Qingyan's inventory, but unexpectedly, a customer came to the door and wanted to order Yuhua Cream in large quantities, and the quantity had exceeded the stock in the store.

Zhou Yong didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he had to come to consult Zhou Jingrong.

Zhou Jingrong didn't expect that there were still people who were not afraid of gossip and bought Yuhuashuang in such a large amount, and asked strangely: "Uncle Zhou, who is the person who came to buy Yuhuashuang, do you know?" ”

Zhou Yong replied: "It is a girl from Lanqiang Kingdom, she came to the store the day before, and she was amazed by Yuhuashuang. Later, for some reason, she didn't buy anything and left. But today she suddenly came to the door again, and asked for five hundred bottles of Yuhua Cream in one go, each of which required one hundred bottles. I didn't dare to respond, and I didn't refuse, I just said that the store was not stocked enough, and I still needed to ask the boss to make a decision, so I asked her to stay for a while, and hurry up and invite you to come and have a look. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jingrong got up and said, "Then let's go over and have a look." ”

Zhou Jingrong and Zhou Yong went out and collided with Fu Yunshen, who had just returned home.

Zhou Jingrong explained the situation to Fu Yunshen, and Fu Yunshen said with concern: "I'll go with you." ”

Zhou Jingrong refused: "No, you can go back and rest." ”

Fu Yunshen insisted: "I can speak Lanqiang Chinese, and I can help you translate at that time." ”

Zhou Jingrong smiled helplessly: "When they come to buy things, they will naturally bring a translator, where do they need to bother you." ”

Fu Yunshen was repeatedly rejected, showing a somewhat aggrieved look.

Zhou Jingrong opened his mouth faintly: "I heard that Lanqiang respects women, women act pungently, have a bold style, and are beautiful and charming......

Fu Yunshen blinked, suddenly came back to his senses, and hugged Zhou Jingrong weakly, funny and proud: "Madam didn't allow me to go with me, because I was afraid that I would see something different?" ”

Zhou Jingrong stretched out a slender jade finger, picked up Fu Yunshen's chin, and made a frivolous appearance of a disciple: "My husband is so beautiful, I'm afraid that someone will give me a hug!" ”

Fu Yunshen couldn't help but sneer twice.

In fact, Zhou Jingrong just sympathized with Fu Yunshen's busy work, worked overtime until the early hours of the morning last night, and got up early in the morning to go to the court, and finally had time to go home at this time, so he just wanted him to rest more.

Zhou Jingrong coaxed Fu Yunshen away, and then went to Qingyan with Zhou Yong.

The woman from the Lanqiang Kingdom was still waiting for Qingyan, she was wearing a blue dress, she looked young, very lively and delicate.

She waited for a long time, but she didn't have any eagerness or discomfort, because she sent her subordinates to buy a bunch of food and play, and she was eating and drinking happily, as if she had regarded Qingyan as a tea house.

When she saw Zhou Yong leading Zhou Jingrong over, she guessed that Zhou Jingrong should be the boss that Zhou Yong said, with a look of surprise and appreciation in her eyes, and her eyes looked at Zhou Jingrong from head to toe without hesitation.

"You're Qingyan's boss? Most of the people doing business in the city are men, and it is rare to see a woman. ”

Zhou Jingrong saw that her eyes were open, so she also let her look at her generously, and when she heard her speak fluent Xia Dynasty dialect, she was also slightly surprised: "Exactly, I don't know why the girl needs so much Yuhuashuang?" ”

The girl didn't hide it, and replied heartily: "My name is Jingyu, I am the princess of Lanqiang Kingdom, I bought this Yuhuashuang to give it away, father, mother, eldest brother, eldest sister ......."

Jingyu said, and counted it with her fingers seriously.

Zhou Jingrong was slightly blessed: "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she was slacking off a lot before, and I still hope for Princess Haihan." It's just that the princess needs a lot of them, and I'm afraid that the stock in the store is not enough now. ”

Jing Yu waved her hand and said unconcernedly: "It's okay, anyway, I still have to stay in Beijing for a while, just do it, I will take as much as you want." Even if I can't give it away, I can still sell it. Lanqiang Country is located in the desert, and the woman's skin has been eroded by wind and sand all year round, and it is rough, but there is no such fine ointment to apply. If I bring Yuhuashuang back, it will definitely be very popular! ”

It's a really big business.

Zhou Jingrong was delighted, but also a little hesitant: "I wonder if the princess has heard the rumors about Yuhuashuang?" ”

Jingyu reacted for a moment, and then smiled: "I heard about it, I originally believed the rumors and didn't buy it." I thought about buying it from other houses, but other houses didn't have such a fragrant and moist paste as Yuhuashuang. Later, when I entered the palace to visit, I inquired about the palace people, and learned that the mother's miscarriage had nothing to do with Yuhuashuang. Even if someone does something bad with Yuhua Cream, it is that person who should be punished, what does it have to do with this ointment? Such a good thing really shouldn't be buried in stigma. ”

Zhou Jingrong listened to Jingyu's words, and was a little moved, for her trust and sincerity.

At the same time, she also realized that good things can withstand rumors and slander, and they can succeed without propaganda or trickery.

Zhou Jingrong immediately reached a cooperation with Jingyu, handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and Jingyu took all the Yuhuashuang inventory in the store.

Jingyu also paid a part of the deposit, agreeing to buy the newly made Yuhuashuang when she left.

Zhou Jingrong returned home, looked at the freshly arrived silver ticket, and said to Fu Yunshen: "I was just thinking about how to clean up Qingyan's inventory, and the business came to the door." It's cool to have your wishes come true, but how can this feel so dreamy, it's not real at all. ”

Fu Yunshen smiled helplessly and shook her head, she was in a hurry if Yuhuashuang couldn't sell it, and she felt that it was too smooth to sell it.

A woman's mind is really hard to understand.

In mid-October, the Thousand Autumn Festival.

The Thousand Autumn Festival is the birthday of the emperor, and in the past, if there were no accidents, a large-scale banquet would be held, and the emperor and his ministers would enjoy together.

This year, just in time for the envoys of various countries to come to congratulate them, the scale of this birthday banquet is even larger and more grand.

The banquet was held in the Chongji Hall in the palace, and the envoys and officials of various countries brought their families to participate in the banquet, there were thousands of people, and a large area of Wuyang could not be seen at a glance.

Zhou Jingrong and Fu Yunshen hid in this crowd, watching the envoys of various countries offer congratulatory gifts one by one, and they are full of energy to compare and suppress each other.

In addition to the envoys, there are also concubines, princes, and princesses to give gifts, and the emperor will also pick some important courtiers to give gifts, no matter how heavy the gifts are, they will praise and praise them.

As for a petty official like Fu Yunshen, who is not of high rank, he has no chance to present a gift in front of the emperor.

The gift naturally had to be prepared, but it was directly handed over to the palace people for registration, and the emperor might not even know what he had sent.

After the gift, there was a new round of secret competition.

Among the countries that came to congratulate them, there were many who wanted to consolidate their friendly relations with the Xia Dynasty through marriage.

Therefore, all the beauties got up one after another, or sang lightly, or danced, or stroked the qin, or danced the sword. Some are charming, some are delicate and lovely, and some are pure and smart.

But what Zhou Jingrong didn't expect was that Princess Jingyu of the Lanqiang Kingdom was also among them.

Lanqiang respects women, and women are inevitably arrogant, even if they want to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries, they should not be able to do anything to do things to others.

And looking at Princess Jingyu's simple and straightforward temperament, it doesn't seem like she intentionally invited pets.

Perhaps, just an ordinary performance?

Zhou Jingrong was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard a shout, and saw Jingyu's body swaying and falling down lightly.
