42. Princess Bonus

Forty-two princess bonuses

In the harbor.

The water princess, water chestnut, Long Hong, Sally and others greeted Chongwu to the ship.

Lotus leaf and Miki Jiro disembark from the boat and go ashore.

The water princess hugs the lotus leaf.

Water chestnut and Miki Jiro stared at each other.

In the causadial hall of the council room, Lotus Leaf is reporting to the water princess on the construction of the Chongwu Peninsula.

Lotus Ye said: "In this way, the barracks have been built, and many single-bedroom courtyards have been built. Many sisters have chosen their sweethearts. Some chose male brothers, others stonemasons, carpenters, and blacksmith masters. I have promised them that I will marry them in August. ”

The water princess said: "These brothers and sisters have followed us for many years, so treat them well. Now that they have a family, what are you going to do? ”

Lotus Ye said: "I have already thought about it. Arrange a single courtyard for each of their couples, and then mobilize our brothers and sisters to give them a generous gift. ”

The water princess said: "What kind of gift?" ”

Lotus Ye said: "We all opened up a field of about two acres near their houses for them to start a business in the future." ”

The water princess said, "That's good. ”

The water princess thought about it and said, "What do you want to do if the number of people in the barracks is gradually decreasing?" ”

"As the officers and men in the army get older, it is natural for the number of soldiers to decrease. It's just that it's sparsely populated, and it's not easy to recruit young soldiers. There is no war nowadays, so I think that male soldiers live in their own small homes and start a business, and in case of war, they should be recruited to come. After the female soldier sisters got married, they still lived in the camp and served in a military salary, and the barracks were the sisters' maiden home. After you are happy, you will live in her husband's house for a long time, and teach her husband and children. ”

The water princess said: "I have never thought of this kind of thing before, so let's do it according to your idea now." ”

In Chongwu, let the female soldiers still live in their mother's house (barracks) after getting married, which was originally a special love for the sisters of the lotus leaf and the water princess to the sisters who are in the same boat through thick and thin. But they didn't expect that behind them, special care would become special restraints, and strict military discipline would become strict clan rules, so that their descendants would have the tragedy of girls throwing themselves into the sea en masse.

The water princess said, "In August, I will go to Chongwu Island to attend the big wedding of my sisters. ”

Miki Jiro said: "Tell the princess, I see that General Long Hong and General Lotus Ye are quite affectionate. ”

The water princess smiled and asked Long Hong, "General Long, what do you think of what Miki-kun said?" ”

Long Hong said loudly: "If Long Hong can win the favor of General Lotus Leaf, Long will be fortunate in his three lives." ”

The water princess asked the lotus leaf again: "Lotus leaf, now it depends on what you mean?" ”

Lotus Ye blushed and said: "Lotus Ye has lost her parents since she was a child, and she has been with the princess since she was a child, and it is all up to the princess. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Good! Then it's decided. Lotus leaf, when August arrives, I will personally send your husband to the Chongwu Peninsula and marry you. ”

Lotus whispered to the water princess's ear.

The water chestnut said: "Look at what you are happy about, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it and let everyone have fun." ”

The water princess nodded and said, "That's a good thing. ”

The water princess said to the water chestnut: "Water chestnut, the lotus leaf is talking about you and Miki-kun." ”

Water chestnut also blushed and said, "What is the matter with me and Miki-kun?" ”

The water princess looked at the water chestnut and said, "Aren't you going to Nagasaki with Miki-kun?" ”

The water chestnut bowed his head shyly and remained silent.

Miki Jiro said, "I wanted to wait until the situation calmed down before I mentioned it to the princess." ”

The water princess said: "Now that the situation has calmed down, you have been away from home for many years, and it is time to return to your hometown to start a family." ”

The water princess took out two gold ingots and said, "These two gold ingots are your reward." One is the reward for your dedication to Brother Lu Su, and the other is the reward for you and me over the years. Please accept it. ”

Miki Jiro took the gold ingot and said, "Domon takes care of it." ”

The water princess said to the water chestnut again: "You and the lotus leaf together, since you were a child, you have been loyal to you for more than 20 years, diligent, these two ingots of gold are for you to settle down and start a business, please accept it." It's up to you how you want to do it. ”

The water princess took out two more ingots of gold and handed them to the water chestnut.

Water chestnut took the two gold ingots, turned around and handed them to Miki Jiro and said, "Miki-kun, you go back to Nagasaki to arrange first, and then come and pick me up after the family business is in order." I'm waiting for you in Yizhou. ”

After taking the gold ingot, Miki Jiro said, "Hay, you wait for me, Miki will never let you down." ”

The water princess said, "Miki-kun, there is a ship going to Nagasaki tomorrow. Tonight, you're seeing you off. ”

At night, Sally is the only one to accompany the water princess.

Sally said: "Sister, I see that you are very decisive in dealing with the marriage of Sister Lotus Leaf and Sister Water Chestnut today, why is this?" ”

The water princess said: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. When they reach the age when men get married and women get married, and meet good men, why don't they get married and start a family quickly? I have long wanted to have a family, so I am very happy to see them have a family, and I am more anxious than they are. ”

Sally asked, "Sister, why don't you get married?" ”

The water princess smiled: "Silly girl, you must have a good man to get married." ”

Sally said, "There are many good men in the world, like my brother Doro. ”

The water princess said, "Doro is an elder brother, how can a brother and a sister get married?" ”

Sally said, "Brother is brother. But you are my father's guest stove boy (goddaughter), not his own daughter. Kezao Tsai is a daughter-in-law, very easy to get along with, and Sister Ke is a brother and sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law is very good. ”

The water princess said, "The more the silly girl speaks, the more true it becomes." ”

Sally said: "Really, my brother has been different since he came to you. None of the girls who come to propose marriage like to look at it, all the hearts and livers are on you. ”

The water princess smiled: "Do you really have the courage to propose to me in public at the March Three Song Meeting?" ”

Sally replied decisively, "Dare, I promise he will." I will put the best betel nut in his purse and ask him to bring it to you. You ate his betel nut, but it's my brother and sister-in-law. ”
