Chapter 187: Return
The communication between noble ladies is always inseparable from jewelry and gorgeous clothes, and the French perfumes brought by the English ladies also fascinated the women of the Ming Dynasty.
The beautiful experience in the world is always inseparable from fragrance, especially perfume, which is born to make women crazy. These British imported from France, and crossed the ocean to the Ming Dynasty, the value of the money did not know how many times, those noble ladies and daughters were simply crazy, when they learned that silk and porcelain can be exchanged for these things, they immediately rushed to the Honglu Temple, scared a group of British almost thought that they had committed some taboo, these Ming Dynasty people wanted to arrest them and burn them to death.
Cui Yupu said with his eyebrows fluttering, saliva flying, and his face was excited. In his opinion, the British are too stupid, such a precious perfume was actually exchanged with a little porcelain, isn't it stupid?
Jian Ning thought it was funny, because both sides felt that they had taken advantage, maybe this was a win-win situation, right? In short, when the British came, the big cannibals were not happy. They have controlled the route to Europe for thousands of years, and now the opening of the Great Voyage has broken this traditional advantage, and after years of exploration, the Ming Dynasty no longer seems to need the Great Cannibal.
After so many years of sailing, the Ming Dynasty never got a route to the Americas from the Spaniards, but this time the British came, and everything was solved. To this end, Da Ming gave his first generation of improved potato technology to the British, and also taught the technology of the water trap to the British.
In addition to this, the British were also taught some knowledge about agriculture. Of course, they are all very rudimentary, anyway, the way Westerners farm at this time is still very primitive, and this little primary knowledge of the Ming Dynasty is also a treasure for them.
As for the secret of scurvy? I'm sorry, that's definitely not going to tell Westerners! This is the absolute secret of the Ming Dynasty's domination of the ocean! After years of development, the Ming people have been crooked no longer crooked, although there are many idiots on the street every day to shout the words of the world, but once the capital is operational, how can a few shouts change?
The people have become smart enough, the people want to live a good life, and whoever prevents everyone from living a good life will dare to pull the emperor off the horse at the cost of all his flesh!
Therefore, the secrets that Westerners do not know must not be told to them, once they learn that sepsis is related to not eating vegetables, then what ability does the Ming have to compete with these people?
The Ming people's little ninety-nine is insignificant, and the British don't feel that they are at a loss. They got so many advanced technologies from the Ming people, and they also got improved potatoes, which was a lot of money for them. Not to mention, they can also bring Ming silk and porcelain with them when they return home......
This diplomatic trip, no matter how you look at it, has made money, in short, everyone is happy, and the only one who doesn't like it is probably poor Princess Mary.
But what can be done about it? Who called Queen Catherine disgusted by the king? To be honest, it's nice to live in this golden country, at least they are envious.
When the envoys were gone, Mary watched these people leave, she clenched her hands, and secretly swore in her heart that when she succeeds in Daming, she will make that inhuman father pay!
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the thirtieth year of Zhengde, this year Ju'er is 24 years old, has become a parent, and has two children; And his eldest brother and eldest sister are also married, become parents, even the youngest Qi Hua is already thirteen years old, the years have made several children mature and at the same time urged their parents to age, despite the care of care, but the white hair still inevitably climbed on the heads of Jian Ning and Zhu Houzhao, as if it was a blink of an eye, they were old.
The youth is vivid, and when they hold each other's hands, they look at each other, and they see the incredible in each other's eyes.
The two-two Emperor Zhengde has now grown a beard, and he has the vicissitudes of a mature man. Over the years, he has obediently stayed in the palace, fulfilling the responsibilities of an emperor, and his thoughts when he was young have been smoothed out by reality, and now what he is looking forward to most is retirement.
Yes, Zhengde has the mind of Zen. He doesn't like to be an emperor, he is really enough of this emperor, especially after the queen mother and the queen have driven cranes, and after Jian Ning became the queen, he felt that his task had been completed.
Ju'er already has the ability to be a good emperor, and his original promise to Jian Ning has also been fulfilled, although it was late, but she has finally become his real wife, and she can be buried with him in the future, and she can be attached to the Taimiao, he has done everything he can do while sitting in this position, at this moment he just wants to take off the heavy dragon robe on his body and take his old wife to the south of the Yangtze River.
Jian Ning has been married to him for more than 20 years, and has never returned to his hometown, and he can't even go to worship his ancestors, he can only pay tribute from afar, and he wants to accompany her back.
The older I get, the more I miss the bite of food in my hometown, and now the Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so ...... Why can't the emperor and queen, who have been worried about this empire for most of her life, be willful?
In the 30th year of Zhengde, the area of Xiacheng Bridge in Changzhou, next to Wangjia Village, began to build a palace, which was prepared by Zhengde for his retirement, and the palace of Emperor Yang of Sui was here, which was a treasure of feng shui.
As for the short life of the Sui Dynasty, such words are directly shielded, and after being the Son of Heaven for many years, Zhengde has fully realized where the success or failure of a dynasty lies.
As long as the Ming Dynasty continues to make the people's lives better and better, then the Ming Dynasty will become a dynasty for all ages.
In the end, he is no longer a teenager, those unrealistic ideas are long gone, and now Zhu Houzhao has become a scheming emperor. At this moment, the emperor is fully aware of the power of the people, and is good at it, and he is preparing to pass on these lessons to his successor.
Just stay up for a few more years......
Zhengde snapped his fingers and pointed to the day, looking forward to the Zen position when the foal arrived, and then went to live a happy life with Jian Ning.
Jian Ning is also looking forward to it, since she entered the palace 25 years ago, she has been trapped in this Forbidden City for too long, and the best years of her life have been left in this Forbidden City.
As for the children......
They're older and don't need themselves too much. Yu'er, Xi'er, and Xun'er all gave up their royal honors and went to Australia instead, where they started their new careers. And their next goal is to go to the Americas, establish a real Chinese community there, and get those God-given lands into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
Children have ideals, and Jian Ning will not stop them. And now that the route is familiar, the danger is greatly reduced, and if these children can really take root in the Americas, it will also be for the benefit of future generations.
As for gardenia...... She had followed Mary to England, which was unique in the history of the Ming Dynasty. She went to England as an advisor to Mary, who had ousted her half-sister from the throne and was now the Queen of Great Britain. I believe that with Gardenia, the princess of Daming with ulterior motives, Bloody Mary will become even more terrifying.
Compared with several elder brothers, Gardenia seems very cruel, especially Chongjin also went to England with Gardenia, and it is foreseeable that the two sisters will not return home until the UK is completely destroyed......
So Jian Ning doesn't have any psychological burden, in a few years, Qi Hua will also get married, this little guy loves home, if he misses her, he can come back to see her at any time.
At night, Jian Ning and Zhengde looked at the starry sky and planned the future, the future of only the two of them.
There is no national hatred and family hatred, there is no queen of the Son of Heaven, just living as the most ordinary couple in the world. She can weave cloth and make clothes for him; And he can learn to grow vegetables and raise fish......
The sun rises and the sun rests, there are no gorgeous clothes, but their feelings will become more and more pure......
Time has become difficult, but the days are always passing day by day, six years have passed in a blink of an eye, the foal has arrived at the year of standing, on his birthday, the capital held a grand Zen ceremony and the enthronement ceremony of the new son of heaven, in the cry and cheers of the courtiers, Zhengde took off the crown and dragon robe that symbolized the imperial power, put on a green shirt, and moved out of the Qianqing Palace as a Confucian student.
The old era ended, the new era began, half a month later, a long motorcade lined up outside the Forbidden City, when the two doors symbolizing totalitarianism were opened, a ray of sunlight shone into Jian Ning's eyes, and tears blurred her eyes instantly.
For 31 years, she was trapped here, and at this moment, she was finally able to unload all her morals and responsibilities, walk through this door with Zhengde openly, and leave this center of power!
The queen supported her and said softly: "Queen Mother, you have to write often, your daughter-in-law and Your Majesty will miss you and the Emperor." ”
Jian Ning lowered her head, gently wiped away her tears, and patted the queen's hand, "In the future, the foal will be entrusted to you to take care of." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother, the sons will take care of Your Majesty with all their hearts, live in harmony with the sisters, and take care of the two noble concubines."
Jian Ning nodded and said, "The two noble concubines and the emperor have instructions, they can enter and leave the palace gate freely, and they can go back to their parents' house to live if they want." The two concubines have no children all their lives, and they are like sons to you, you must be filial to them......"
chattering, when it was over, Jian Ning found that she was a little reluctant.
After living for so many years, even if you are holding a stone, you should hug your feelings. It's a taste that only those who have experienced it can understand.
Her eyes blurred again, she shook her head, turned to look at Zhengde, Zhengde sat in front of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Don't be a little daughter, come up, I will be a coachman for you today." ”
Jian Ning burst into tears and laughed, it was really the second thing in her bones, no matter how touching the picture was, as long as the goods opened their mouths, any sadness would dissipate.
patted Ju'er's shoulder again, and then hugged Jihua, she took Cui Yupu's hand, stepped into the carriage, and waved goodbye to everyone......
The wheels started, Second Brother Jian and Xi'er both rode horses, although life in the capital was good, they loved their hometown more. What should the children do, they are all older, they don't need them anymore, just right, they can also rest, follow Jian Ning back to their hometown, that is called freedom!
Jian Ning lowered the curtain, and it didn't take long for her to pull up the curtain again, and there were people on both sides of the street, looking at these people, her vision was blurred again......
The wind, blowing, rolled up her gray hair, and when she came, the years were just right; Return, old body, decades of life, snap of a finger!
