Chapter 27 International Friends

My own dad is on the road.

Banniang was overjoyed, but her face still had to be held: "Dad can ask his daughter to follow with filial piety, how can her daughter be unhappy?" As he spoke, the smile on his face couldn't stop jumping, "Then the daughter will talk to her mother." ”

After saying that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

Zeng Budo shook his head, the daughters are all gentle and virtuous, and I don't know who Xiaoba is? Thinking about Xiao Shi Niang Yunzhen again, although she is small, she is also like Xiao Ba, and she has already shown the appearance of a ghost and elf, and she can't help but be embarrassed.

"Zijin, accompany your father for the next game?"

Seeing that his father, who has always been serious, seemed to be in a very comfortable mood today, Zeng Shilang was not the one who didn't know how to adapt to the situation, nodded and said "Okay", thought for a while, and then said: "Dad, if you go to Linchuan this time, if you are free, can you meet my teacher, Professor Fan?" Professor Fan wanted to visit his father. ”

"Dad doesn't know you Professor Fan, you want to visit me? Why is that? ”

"This ......" Zeng Shilang's face turned red, and he stopped talking, and finally held back a sentence, "Probably admiring Dad's literary name." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and everyone in Zeng's house got up, but Qi Niang did not help her sister-in-law Wu to make breakfast today, but dressed up for Banniang in the house, Banniang rubbed her worried eyes, and smiled while stretching her waist: "Seventh sister, even if you go to Linchuan, you have to go to the day after tomorrow, you will dress up for me today, who will you show it?" If you want me to say, you just want to be light on the road, just change into old clothes and put them on. ”

Qi Niang took the comb and knocked her on the head: "It's also a twelve-year-old girl, I see that you love beauty on weekdays, but it's a matter of being healthy and waiting, so don't you pay attention to it?" ”

"Sister, you just put on good clothes for me, this way has passed, and it can't be done, I'll go first, anyway, I want to spend the night on the boat, I will change it tomorrow before entering Linchuan, don't you have it?"

"Aren't there two bodies to replace? No one is looking at you along the way? You listen to me honestly, just wear that set of duck yellow, and the waist yellow I embroidered for you a few days ago, and also put it on, just a good match, I heard the sixth sister say, Linchuan is popular over there. When I look back, my grandmother must be happy to see that you are not only not a little sick now, but also very smart. ”

"Okay, well, I'll listen to you."

Qi Niang sometimes nags, which is also quite abrasive.

Seeing her surrender, Qi Niang smiled happily, and remembered that Ban Niang didn't have any headdress, so she went to the box to find a pair of small pearl hairpins: "Just give you a double ring to look at the fairy bun, and then put the bead flowers on the hairpin?" ”

"Sister, let's just put two simple buns, besides, didn't you say that pearls can only be used by life-wives? If I wear this, wouldn't it be a violation of the system? ”

In a word, Qi Niang laughed out loud: "The regulations are dead, and people are alive." Which lady is there now, there are not a few pearl hairpins? This is just an ordinary bead, and it is not the East Pearl, which is very precious. You just have to wear yours. ”

Dressed up, Banniang grinned at the bronze mirror, the little girl in the mirror, dressed in light yellow, with hairpin beads, although not to say how brilliant it is, but also Linghui playful tight, giving birth to a beautiful little beauty.

Banniang was quite satisfied with herself, and said strangely: "Seventh sister, how can this bronze mirror shine so clearly, I remember going to the ready-to-wear store yesterday, and the bronze mirror was very blurry?" ”

"Well, the mirror in our house is a bronze mirror in Ezhou! It was still the dowry of the biological mother of the first three sisters, and later it was given to the third sister, and when the third sister got married, she thought that there were many sisters in the family, so she didn't take it away, and left it for us to use. ”

"The bronze mirror in Ezhou is so clear?"

This bronze mirror is no worse than the glass mirror used by Banniang Zeng Yunshan in her previous life.

Qi Niang said with a smile while dressing herself: "That's natural, the bronze mirror in Ezhou is the most famous, and now there are fewer and fewer of them, where can ordinary people afford this?" You can also clean it up quickly, I have sorted out the package for you, there are still dozens of dollars in the jar over there, you can also put it on, go out, maybe you will use it anywhere. Let's pack up and head to the front yard, it's time for breakfast. ”

Sure enough, as the old saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the family is poor, and there are such good things.

"Sister Qian just keeps it, my father and I go out, and my mother will definitely prepare it for me."

While the two were talking, Qi Niang went to bring water, wiped her teeth with a shabu shabu, washed her face, and went to the front yard together.

Zhu saw that Banniang was dressed very decently, and he didn't think that this dress, Tingting stood in front of him, just like a magnolia flower standing on the branch of the magnolia tree in the spring, elegant and pleasant, happy in his heart, and praised a few words.

Banniang smiled: "Mother, how can anyone praise his daughter for being like this, if this is heard by others, wouldn't it be a joke for Niang?" ”

Wu responded to the scene on the side: "Mother-in-law is right, the little eighth sister is getting more and more agile as she grows." ”

Rao is Zeng Banniang has a heart of more than twenty, and now as a pseudo-Luo Li, she is full of my eldest mother and sister-in-law, and she should immediately engage in such a boast of the object, and she is also a little embarrassed, so she simply lowered her head and twisted her waist to pretend to be shy, and floated to the main hall.

After breakfast, Huang Bo went to the carriage shop to hire the carriage has arrived in front of the house, the family took the luggage, talked and talked, all rushed to the gate, and moved things into the car, Wulang helped Banniang to get into the car first, and then Zeng Budo and Shilang also pulled the curtain and came in, Banniang listened to Zhu's nagging and admonishment through the car window, came to this world for more than half a year, this is the first time to leave home, looking at Zhu's worried look, Qi Niang's reluctance, and the smile on Wu's face, I suddenly felt sour in my heart, very reluctant.

The feelings she lacked in her previous life were all made up for in only half a year in this family.

Just feeling sad, the carriage moved, slowly, turned, and the figure of the family was no longer visible.

Gorou looked at the weeping look on Banniang's face, and half of the joy that he should have when he went out, so he patted her on the shoulder, smiled and comforted: "I'll be back in a short time." It's just going to Linchuan, if you get married in the future, won't you cry your nose? ”

Zeng Budo listened to the "hum".

Gorou was busy. also knows that he is speechless, how can he say anything about marrying or not marrying in front of the girl who has not left the cabinet. He smiled and went all the way to the dock outside the city.

Before the holiday, he originally planned to let the second brother take them to the cliff where he used to study, but because he was busy socializing, he didn't make the trip, and Qi Niang's wish to go to the dock grass market was not realized.

Although this time I was sitting in the carriage and entered the grass market, my ears were full of noisy and noisy sounds, Banniang was curious, and lifted the curtains on the car to look out, sure enough, the scenery on the grass market was not much worse than in the city, on the contrary, the flow of people was more dense than in the city, the streets were lined with shops, and all kinds of people came and went, and the strangest thing was that I even saw a line of foreigners.

Banniang took a few curious and careful looks, looking at her appearance, she was tall and had brown and black skin, and she was undoubtedly Indian.

"Fifth brother, let's meet foreigners here?"

Gorou looked at it together, and said with a smile: "What's so strange about this, what you see should be Zhu Yuan, so Lin or Hu Turen." The people in these three places are about the same in length, and they can't tell the difference, and you can usually see Champa and Cochin and Siamese people here. ”

Most of these names have not been heard of by Banniang, but listening to the meaning of Wulang, and then looking at the appearance of these people, then the note, so Lin and Hu Di should be India, and Jiaozhi and Champa are Vietnam, she knows. In addition, Banniang vaguely remembered that Siam should be Myanmar.

"But how could they appear in the Great Song Kingdom?"

"Silly girl, you don't know this, do you?" Gorou was finally able to show off for a while, and he was proud, "These are all doing business in our Great Song Kingdom. ”

"You mean, we in the Great Song Dynasty have trade with these countries?"

"Of course."

Banniang almost jumped up happily, you must know that Southeast Asia is the main production area of many noble wood, like India, the most precious wood is ebony, green sandalwood, agarwood, iron wood, and red sandalwood, all imported from India, in addition to Vietnam, in her previous life, almost most of the precious wood used by the company are imported from Vietnam, and Myanmar is also the main production area of Huanghuali.

If, as Goro said, the Great Song Dynasty had maritime trade with these countries, then ......

"Could it be that they came to our Nanfeng to trade at this wharf?"

Gorou laughed when he heard this: "Where are you when we are Nanfeng?" How is that possible? These people are in the coastal port dedicated to maritime transactions for unloading transactions, to the inland, just to look around, to find out the market, and not to mention that there are not often Fanbang people here, but there is a special Fan Fang in Guangzhou, and all the people who live there are Fan people. ”

I see.

"Fifth brother, do you know what kind of goods they usually sell to our Great Song Kingdom?"

"What else could there be? Spices, jewelry, jade, and then transport some silk porcelain and other items back from our Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Is there a talent for transporting wood?"

"Mucai? Probably not, right? That thing is so heavy, and besides, we don't lack that stuff in the Great Song Kingdom. As he was talking, Gorou saw another group of people passing over there, blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in a slim white robe, with a gold belt around his waist, and he was very handsome, "Eighth sister, look, it should be from Besri over there, I heard that the emperor of their country is not called emperor, but pharaoh." ”

Banniang also looked over, but couldn't see where the race was, hearing Wulang mention the pharaoh, Banniang couldn't help but look at it, could it be the ancient Egyptians?

"Have you ever heard that they have pyramid buildings there?"

"Huh, how do you know?" Gorou looked back and wondered.

Banniang pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer him. I thought that when I returned to Nanfeng in the future, I would definitely come to this grass market when I had the opportunity, and maybe I could meet these international friends again.

However, her foreign languages are only English and French. Naturally, these people don't understand. At this time, the Chinese language of the United States is not yet an international language, and there will be no more people, who knows if there is much change in the grammar and meaning after thousands of years?

Even if they don't, they can communicate with each other, but she speaks a fluent foreign language, isn't it strange for people to listen to it? Does she dare to say it?

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the wharf, and the water was full of ships, huge cargo ships, and cruise ships carrying passengers. Shiro got out of the car to find the boat to Linchuan, Zeng Budo also got out of the carriage, Gorou jumped off, helped Banniang get out of the car, and moved the luggage down one by one with the coachman. When Shiro found the boat and negotiated the price with the boatman, he came back, and together with the coachman, he transferred the luggage to the ship, and then paid the coachman 120 yuan.

got on the boat, Banniang found that the boat was not big, and there were only a few people in her family on it, so she asked Shiro: "Fourth brother, does this boat still have to stop and wait for guests?" ”

Shiro replied: "No, because this boat is not big, it is inconvenient to take another person, so I chartered the whole boat." ”

That's fine. Because she lived in the cabin on the second floor, holding on to the handrail of the stairs on the deck, Banniang planned to go up to see the room she lived in, but Shiro was afraid that the boat would be unstable and Banniang would fall, so he went to help her. Banniang asked again: "Fourth brother, how much does it cost to go to Linchuan on this boat?" ”

"Because we are the only family, there is no delay on the road, and we only receive a total of five dollars, and when we turn back to the boat, we can still bring guests."

Wuguan, half a month's living expenses for a large family, it's not cheap.

Banniang stuck out her tongue. Xing Chong rushed to the cabin on the second floor, only to find that the interior was very elegantly furnished, much better than he imagined.
