After a month's voyage, the returning fleet finally returned to the naval base on the Yangtze River, and Akihito and Mingli immediately bid farewell to Zhu Lin and Zhao Zongshi, and hired a cargo ship to return to Pingjiang Province.

They left their hometown in the spring to go to sea, and when they came back, it was already late autumn in October, and they walked for more than half a year.

Of course, compared to Fanning, they are lucky, at least they may come back to reunite with their relatives for the New Year, while Fanning and they have to survive the cold and long winter in a distant foreign land.

Two days later, the cargo ship arrived in Mudu Town, and someone had already gone to the hospital to tell Fan Tiezhou that the twin brothers had returned.

Fan Tiezhou hurriedly greeted him, but he didn't see his son's figure, his heart sank, and he asked, "A-Ning didn't come back together!" ”

Mingli shook his head, "Uncle, I'm sorry, A-Ning can't come back with us, there are too many things over there, he is the chief officer, and he can't leave at all." ”

"Then forget it!"

Fan Tiezhou had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and said with a smile: "It's not bad for you to come back, your aunt and I can also know about A-Ning's situation, he's okay over there!" ”

"Of course!"

Akihito hurriedly said: "He is the third person, everyone must be respectful when they see him, the official authority is great, we have to salute obediently when we see him, and call a big official!" ”

Fan Tiezhou laughed, "As for it? I wouldn't believe it, others might call it, but neither of you would either. ”

Akihito scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Actually, we still call him Aning, but he is really powerful, and everyone is really respectful when they see him." ”

"That's it! He is also my son when he becomes an official again, so you hurry up and move your things back, and I will help you. ”

Akihito and Mingli brought back more than a dozen large boxes, most of which were precious specialties, and they worked hard to go overseas, how could they be worthy of themselves without making much money.

The most expensive thing was a piece of ambergris, weighing thirty catties and worth tens of thousands of yuan, which they exchanged for from the Kun people with two sharp Song knives.

The two brothers hurriedly separated the three large boxes, "These three boxes are A-Ning's gifts to you." ”

Mingli patted one of the big boxes and said with a smile: "There is a treasure in this box, for grandma." ”

"What is it?"

Fan Tiezhou was a little curious in his heart, he slowly opened a crack, and suddenly startled him, he actually saw a bear head.

"Bear!" He cried out.

Mingli patted the big box and said with a smile: "To be precise, it's a bear skin, and it's an old bear skin, you can't buy it with money in the Great Song Dynasty, isn't Grandma afraid of the cold in winter?" Sleeping on it was very warm. ”

Fan Tiezhou was really worried that his mother would sleep on a bear skin? But not necessarily, this is a gift from her precious grandson, maybe she will really accept this love, and replace the old sheepskin on the bed with a bear skin.

Akihito pointed to another box and said, "Here are a tiger skin and two fine fox skins, for the uncle and aunt, and Ado has a box of beautiful and precious conch, and some sun-dried precious medicinal herbs are also in the box." ”

"Okay, I see, let's move things back first."

Together, everyone moved the box back to the infirmary and put it there for the time being.

The two hired an ox cart to carry a box to Zhu's mansion, and Fan Tiezhou told them that Zhu Yuanfu and Zhu Pei both lived in Mudu.

Hearing that the Mingren and Mingli brothers were back, Zhu Yuanfu personally came to the gate to greet them, he especially liked the twin brothers, the twin brothers were smart, lively, optimistic, shrewd and capable, and they had always left a deep impression on him, Zhu Yuanfu worked them, deliberately cultivated them, and let them enter the trading market.

Zhu Yuanfu especially likes Fan Mingren, and he is even considering letting his third brother Zhu Yuanfeng recruit Mingren as his son-in-law, so that Mingren can inherit the third brother's estate.

In the lobby, the two brothers opened the box and moved out the Bei Wang Tridacn, Ming Ren smiled and said: "This is a gift from A Ning to the old man, he said that this Bei Wang is thousands of years old, and it has been completely jaded, which is very precious, I hope the old man can like it!" ”

Of course, Zhu Yuanfu has seen this kind of clams, and he has collected one in his hometown in Wujiang, but it is not as big as this, he knocked on the shell, and looked at it carefully for a while, and sure enough, it has been jaded, much better than the one in his home, he smiled from ear to ear, "Good!" Good! ”

At this time, Mingli took out another wooden box and handed it to Zhu Yuanfu, "This is our gift to the old man, a pound of ambergris, very mellow." ”

Zhu Yuanfu took the box and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "You two misers still have a little conscience, you haven't forgotten to bring me some gifts, this ambergris is good, I accepted it!" ”

In fact, the two brothers also brought a bear skin, but they wanted to sell it at a high price, and they were really reluctant to give it to Zhu Yuanfu, but they remembered that they didn't bring gifts to Zhu Yuanfu and Zhu Yuanfeng on the boat. The two brothers were in pain.

The market price of ambergris in the Song Dynasty was a small piece of ambergris, which could be less than half a tael, and it would cost twenty taels of silver, which was very expensive.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Juppe ran in like a gust of wind, and when she saw Akihito and Mingli, she was stunned for a moment, "Why are you two of you?" ”

The two brothers rolled their eyes, did they dislike themselves so much? This little lady only has Fanning in her heart.

Akihito said lazily: "Fan Daguan is now the owner of the island, and thousands of people have to listen to his arrangement, and it is said that he will command a large army to fight the Japanese, and he can't come back now." ”

Zhu Pei's face flushed, and he was a little worried: "Do you want to go to war with Japan?" That's not dangerous. ”

"Not dangerous!"

Mingli hurriedly said: "Kunzhou and Japan are separated by the sea!" Japan came to protest, and if it really started, Japan would not be an opponent at all. ”

"Oh!"

Juppé wanted to ask about Fanning's situation, but she was too embarrassed to speak, so she gave her grandfather a look.

Zhu Yuanfu smiled and said: "A-Ning is good, and he actually sent me a big shell king as a gift!" ”

What he meant was to remind the two guys that Fanning had any gifts for Jupei, so he quickly took them out.

Akihito came to his senses, and hurriedly took out a brocade box from his skin bag and handed it to Ju Pei, "This is a gift from Fanning to you, a good thing!" ”

"What is it?" Zhu Pei happily took the brocade box.

"You open it yourself, let me remind you, this is much more valuable than the old man's Dabei King."

Zhu Pei opened the brocade box, inside was a white and bright bead, the size of a pigeon's egg, Zhu Yuanfu was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, "This.... Could this be the pearl of the night? ”

"Or the old man has something, it's really a pearl of the night!"

Although Zhu Yuanfu is the richest man in Pingjiang Mansion, he was still shocked, the night pearl has always been an emperor's thing, not an ordinary person can have it, Fan Ning actually got a night pearl and gave it to his granddaughter, this kid is affectionate!

Zhu Pei suddenly smiled, Fanning's troubles of not being able to come back were also diluted by the affection brought by the Night Pearl, and she also became enthusiastic about Mingren Mingli, "You two stay for dinner and tell me about Maoren Island." ”

During the banquet, Zhu Yuanfu set up a sumptuous banquet to wash the dust for Akihito Mingli, and the two talked about the Song army's capture of Tamluo Island and Maoren Island, and Fanning's renaming of Maoren Island to Kunzhou, and the vastness of Sakhalin Island, which made Zhu Pei yearn for it.

However, the two brothers are most interested in making money, and Akihito laughs: "The Kun people often go out to sea in canoes, and they often catch valuable treasures, such as sea pearls, tortoiseshell, coral, luminous snails, nautilus, and ambergris, and they don't take it seriously at all."

I exchanged a pair of leather boots for a tortoiseshell with them, they especially like ironware, Mingli exchanged a sword for a three-foot-long coral, as for the sea pearls, there are even more, we exchanged dozens of sea pearls with a bunch of toys and children, all of them are as big as a dragon's eye......."

Zhu Yuanfu smiled: "You two are going to become profiteers!" ”

Akihito hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Old man, we are not profiteers, these are abundant over there, in their eyes, they are not rare at all, we are completely interconnected, and we are businessmen with a conscience!" ”

Zhu Yuanfu raised his glass and smiled: "Come, come back for two businessmen with a conscience, let's toast!" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that his grandfather was slightly away from the table, Zhu Pei whispered to Akihito and Mingli: "You should go back next time!" ”

The two glanced at each other and said with a smug smile: "It is estimated that I will go again tomorrow spring, this opportunity to make money, it is a sin to let it go!" ”

Zhu Pei sighed bitterly and said: "The surname Liu is really annoying, and he is always ghostly, what do you say!" ”

Akihito and Mingli immediately understood what she meant, and Akihito smiled and said, "Then tell you, on the third day of March next year, we will wait for you by the Yangtze River, if you can come in time, we will go together!" ”

Zhu Pei's heart was overjoyed, and her heart had already flown to distant Kunzhou at this time.
