Chapter 173: Mrs. Hou

The woman who became a family began to be keen on the idea of carrying a baby. Especially Aunt Xu's old Beng Huaizhu, she has been married to Bai Zhutou for half a year, Aunt Xu is very ashamed, Bai Zhutou is very happy, he only has a daughter in front of him, and the middle-aged son is naturally so happy that he can't close his mouth. And Xingrui listened with envy.

"Alas, Aunt Xu has a lady, why haven't you moved yet, you are about to conceive one. I also want to conceive one for the third brother as soon as possible, he is the only one in his family, it is too deserted, we can have as many children as we can if we discuss it. Every day she had to turn it back and forth more than thirty times.

Willow Branch listened with horror. One day when I came back and heard the chatter in the bedroom, I saw Xingrui holding Feng Xiaobao and telling him to roll around on the bunk, Feng Xiaobao rolled quite seriously, and kept asking: "Aunt Xing, is this right?" How many more laps do you have to turn? ”

It turned out that Xingrui didn't know where to get the secret recipe, so that the boy could roll more on the bed of the husband and wife, so that he could be blessed with joy and blessing. She even took Xiaobao to her house and asked Xiaobao to sprinkle a child's urine on the floor of her bedroom, but fortunately she didn't dare to do this in the willow branch bedroom.

Although there were some small troubles, the days passed smoothly and happily, and at the end of that year, when the trade winds rose, Li Chun had to take the boat to Luzon. Swallow Island and Luzon Governor Andres reached an agreement to exchange tea leaves, cotton cloth, and silk for spices such as cloves and pepper in Luzon, and also to collect red sapphires.

Ceylon, where the gems were produced, was too far away and had become Frankie's sphere of influence, so it was better to exchange them directly at Luzon and Champa, and Frankie's merchant ships would not have to risk the ban on the sea to come to the sea.

Swallow Island's own ships are busy loading, and there are merchant ships from Nanquan to assemble here one after another, and they will set off after the merchant ships in the list are assembled. In previous years, Liu Zhi had to follow Li Chun, she couldn't bear the days of being separated from him, no matter how bitter the sea was, she couldn't think about it alone, not to mention that Li Chun would always do his best to take care of her.

But now that Feng Jiaojiao's mother and son have arrived on the island, it seems a little unrighteous for Liu Zhi to leave his friends and go around the world with men, how to say that Jiaojiao was also abducted to Swallow Island by her own family.

The two of them discussed what to do. "Xiaozhi, this time you can stay at home and wait for me, Jiaojiao and Xiaobao will play with you." Li Chun pinched the willow branches like some fleshy cheeks when he was a girl, and it felt very good.

"I'm going along." Willow Branch also likes Luzon quite a lot. It was a very different place from the current dynasty, and the people's clothing customs were very new. Luzon also had a large number of Red Domain, among which the nobles of the Red Domain wore large hats with ornate bird feathers, and the women wore long skirts that resembled umbrellas held up with layers of whale bones, and their necks, shoulders, and even their entire arms and most of their breasts were exposed. Liu Zhi was so ashamed that he covered his face on the spot when he saw it for the first time, but they looked very good in this dress with necklaces and bracelets.

After all, Liu Zhi is also a woman, although she doesn't like to bring jewelry very much, but she especially likes to see others bring jewelry. The Frankie women did not carry much jade, but wore a variety of brightly colored gemstones and pearls, so their gemstone cuts were unique, and the red sapphires were particularly shiny. Andrés sent her a complete set of ruby jewelry, which burned like small clusters of flames under the dark blue velvet upholstery.

Li Chun can speak Frankie, not very proficient, but there is no problem with basic communication. That's what he learned when he was in Zhancheng, he is smart, and if it is something he wants to learn, he will learn it quickly. Calm was very interested in the words of the grunt, he wanted to read the original Frankie books, but Li Chun could not write or read words, so he wanted to learn by himself.

He asked Li Chun how he learned it, and Li Chun said very indifferently: "Listen, we are human beings, and they are also human beings, so they also have to eat, drink, and pee." I listen to them repeat the most words, and sometimes I can deduce what they mean by combining them with their facial expressions. ”

Calm: ······

Liu Zhi put forward a whimsical suggestion in Li Chun's opinion: "Take Jiaojiao and Xiaobao together." When I was a child, Jiaojiao said that I wanted to see overseas strange customs, and now I have a chance. She didn't wait for Li Chun to refute, she grabbed his arm and jumped straight, asking him to bend down so that he could whisper to him close to his ear, "Actually, I think there are so many blue-eyed feudal people in the big city of Luzon, Jiaojiao can see it to her heart's content, and it is estimated that she will never feel strange about Bai Lin again." ”

Like Andres, the governor of Ayutthaya, who has long hair like golden threads, is naturally curly, and also has a pair of blue eyes, Bai Lin is dark blue and he is azure blue, very bright, and has a lively feeling. There are also green, gray, and brown eyes, and Frankie's hair is also colorful, with various shades of gold, brown, and red.

Li Chun naturally disagreed, Xiaobao was not even five years old, such a big doll crossed the ocean, it was a joke. Liu Zhi had already excitedly gone to tell Feng Jiaojiao.

Nanquan commanded the embassy's residence. The two servants were lifted, and ten jars of kumquats more than one person high were planted in large blue and white jars with fish patterns, and placed in the courtyard of the second entrance. A beautiful woman wearing a smoky gray thin shirt and gown in a blue silk skirt and a fallen horse bun stood under the porch and watched, and said, "It looks good in such a vertical position, and both sides are full of gold and jade, and the Hou Ye is also comfortable to look at, and his mind is good."

The color of her clothes is light and elegant, her skin is snow-white, her skin is delicate and can be broken, her posture is slender and colorful, especially her eyes are affectionate and resentful, and there seem to be tears and tears, which makes people feel infinite pity in their hearts. There is a little emerald butterfly on his head, and he looks back and looks like he is falling, and it makes people itch.

The woman is more than the girl's Yanhou lady Luo Biyan covered the cherry mouth with a smoke-colored grape squirrel embroidered handkerchief, opened a yawn slightly, her head was slightly tilted, and she said cutely: "But it seems to be very good to swing horizontally." ”

A young woman standing beside her, wearing a lotus-colored shirt sprinkled with gold, black and red Luo skirts, a pair of gold-encrusted white jade bracelets on her hands, and gold earrings with large pink pearls inlaid with her fingernails on her ears, hurriedly said, "Since my cousin thinks it is good, I will ask them to pose." ”

This little woman is Wu Zhen, these ten jars of kumquat were given to Mrs. Yanhou, and at the end of the year, the rich family in Nanquan likes to place kumquats and take auspicious signs full of gold and jade.

She and Luo Biyan and Luo Biyan's big maids Suoqiu and Jianchun turned around and returned to the backyard, waiting for those strong men to rearrange them again before swaying out. Luo Biyan glanced at the courtyard and said softly: "Ah Zhen, you said that if there is one cylinder on the left and right sides of the first row, and two cylinders on the left and right sides of the second row... And so on, wouldn't it look better? ”

"Tell them to take a look, my cousin's vision can't be wrong." Wu Zhen hurriedly ordered to go down, and the female dependents naturally couldn't look at those rough men, and turned back to the backyard.

Mrs. Hou was tired after two trips, crooked on the beauty couch, and smiled apologetically at Wu Zhen: "My body is useless, and I am sick and crooked for half a year." Meng Hou Ye took pity on me and told me to raise it with peace of mind, alas, I just love to think about my heart, where is it good to raise it. The old and young men in this house are all outsiders who can't get close except me, and I want to greet them both hot and cold, alas, I can't spare my toil. ”

"My cousin and uncle are affectionate, which is a blessing that we can't envy. Xiao Shizi is very clever, and his cousin will be destined when he arrives, which is really a great blessing. ”

In fact, Yan Xu has not yet been officially established as the prince, and Yan Hou wrote to request the canonization of the prince twice, but was rejected by Jinshang for different reasons. He secretly guessed that the Jingning Mansion was dissatisfied and tried his best to stop it, but Yan Xu was still young after all, and there was no urgency in this matter, so he didn't mention it for the time being.

But Yan Xu is the eldest son of Yan Hou, as long as the title of Marquis of Guangping is still there, the position of the prince will not be able to run, so it is nothing for Wu Zhen to call the little prince.
