Chapter 249: Huainan is orange, and Huaibei is orange
Jia Cong listened to her mother's words, and refused to let her go, pulling her mother's arm desperately and persuading each other. The mother and son were pulling, and there was a sudden bustle outside. Xing Shuang was about to ask what was the matter, when Jin Chuan rushed in from outside, his face full of joy.
"Ma'am! The lord is back! ”
Xing Shuang was stunned, screamed, grabbed her sleeves and ran out, Jia Cong forgot to put her hand away for a while, and was dragged out by her mother.
The mother and son went out of the door to the yard, only to find that they were still pulling, and quickly let go, Xing Shuang grabbed the porter's mother-in-law and asked, "Where is it?" ”
The mother-in-law of the porter replied with a smile on her face: "I said that I went to the palace to resume my life, and I will come back in the evening." Wait, ma'am. ”
Xing Shuang hurriedly turned his head to Jia Cong and said, "If you don't go today, it's good that your father comes back, and you go and inform the family rooms." ”
Jia Cong answered, grabbed the corner of the robe and ran quickly, and disappeared immediately.
Xing Shuang was so happy that she jumped on the spot twice, and Yu Chuan persuaded on the side: "It's useless for Mrs. to be anxious at this time, it's better to go back to the room and wait, this big day, it's dark after two days." ”
Xing Shuang had to go back to the house, and only sat for a while, and all the people who went to visit the garden came, and even the Wang family brought Li Kun over.
"I heard that the eldest (uncle) is back?" Jia Mu and Wang asked in unison as soon as they entered the door.
Xing Shuang nodded frequently, and the excited hairpin was about to shake off.
Her husband has been gone for two months, and she looks calm, but in fact, she misses it very much. In the past, the husband and wife were always tired of being together every day, but if they haven't seen each other for the next two months, they really want to die.
The girls were all happy, and Tanchun even took Daiyu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, my father is not scary." He loves girls the most, and I used to ride him around the neck when I was a kid. ”
Lin Daiyu was dumbfounded when she heard it, riding her neck? Isn't that disrespectful to elders? Her father wouldn't be like that.
Yingchun also shouted: "What about the Nanyang gift that my father said he brought me?" ”
Xing Shuang was about to say where he had come back for a gift, when someone outside suddenly shouted, "Madam, the things that the master brought are back." ”
Xing Shuang hurriedly went out to take a look when she heard this, and the yard was already full of large and small boxes.
"These are ......?"
Yu Chuan said with a smile: "Jiawang came back first, saying that he would bring back the gifts that the master brought to the family first." ”
Xing Shuang hurriedly said: "Ask him to come in and talk back." ”
Hearing this, the maids came up and raised the screen, so that the girls hid in, and Jia Mu and others sat on the top with a married woman, waiting for Jiawang to reply.
As soon as Jiawang entered the house, he saw that the family from the old lady to the grandmother were there, so he quickly knelt down and saluted, and called over one by one.
Xing Shuang called him up, and then asked him: "Where did the master go on this trip and what did he do?" ”
Jia Wang sighed and said busily: "Mrs. can be regarded as the right person, if you ask Wuling, you can't ask anything." The little one followed the master from beginning to end, and he knew the most detailed. ”
"You're slippery, why don't you say it soon?" Xing Shuang knew that the two henchmen who followed Jia Liang were taken crooked by Jia Liang, for fear that Jia's mother and the others would not be used to it, so she hurriedly reprimanded.
Jiawang just took his head away, and honestly brought the master's itinerary during this time.
It turned out that this time it was a team that went to the South Seas, starting from Jiaozhou, passing through Guangzhou, first to South Vietnam, then to Luzon, and finally through Johor to Sin Chau.
"This Nanyang area is really down, and when I look at our fleet, I am so scared that I can't close my mouth. However, Luzon had contacts with us as early as the previous dynasty, and it was very convenient to deal with us. The old man took silk and porcelain in exchange for a lot of special products. The lord over there also sent a lot of Kunlun slaves to the saints, and now they are all sent to the palace. ”
Xing Shuang heard that the Nanyang area was still underdeveloped, so she was prepared, so she only asked Jiawang: "What specialties did you bring?" ”
Jia Wang smiled: "It's strange to say, other masters don't buy it, our family's private gifts, only buy some weird things." It's like the things bought by the Ministry of Rites, all of them are ivory and gold, but the old man didn't want to put them away, and he got a lot of trees back, and some of them were very smelly. ”
Xing Shuang suddenly stood up: "Stinky? Does it stink like a thatched house? ”
The room was stunned, looking at Xing Shuang blankly, only Xing Shuang knew that the smelly tree in this Wang's mouth might be her favorite.
Jiawang said with a bitter face: "When Mrs. said this, if you think about it carefully, it really tastes like this." But the old man said that this thing was good, and he said that it was not good to raise gold, and he said that it was not easy to raise, so he let people put it down when he returned to Guangzhou, and he bought a piece of land there, and bought a lot of people to take care of those trees. ”
Jia Mu couldn't help but ask, "What is it that makes you so excited?" ”
Xing Shuang smiled awkwardly and sat back again: "I heard the old man mention it earlier, saying that there is a kind of fruit in Nanyang, which smells very smelly, but it tastes soft and delicious." And because the fruit is golden, and it is very good for the body to eat it, it is called the gold of the fruits. When I heard Jiawang talk about it, I couldn't help but think of this fruit. ”
Wang was surprised: "And this kind of fruit? If it smells so bad, how can you eat it? ”
Li Kun smiled and said: "That stinky duck egg is not also very smelly, but I am the only one." I think the same is true of the fruit, which smells bad and tastes fragrant. ”
Xing Shuang nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's almost the same as stinky duck eggs, they all smell bad and eat fragrant." ”
Jia's mother was said to be greedy, and said regretfully: "Then why did you stay in Guangzhou, why didn't you bring it back?" ”
Before Jiawang could speak, Xing Shuang explained with a smile: "That thing was born in Nanyang, and it must have requirements for the place of birth. ”
Jia Wang smiled: "It's worthy of being a wife, I really guessed right." I also asked my lord how to explain to my wife if I brought a gift back and didn't bring it back to the capital. The old man also said that his wife would understand why he did this. ”
Wang said on the side: "Huainan is orange and Huaibei is orange, and the uncle left the tree in Guangzhou, but I am afraid that this is also the reason." The sister-in-law is of the same heart as the uncle and his wife, and what others didn't expect, she figured it out first. ”
Jia Mu and Li Kun also suddenly realized and laughed: "I see. ”
Then Jiawang said again, and before Jia Liang could go home, Xing Shuang inquired about it. When Jia Liang came back from the palace in the evening, it was already half past eight, and the family had almost rested, so he didn't go to Xianhe Hall, and went back to Qingyuan directly.
Before entering the house, Xing Shuang hugged Jin'er and greeted her with Yingchun Tanchun Daiyu Jia Cong and others, Jia Liang saw that everyone hadn't slept yet, and laughed happily.
