Chapter 304: The Calm Before the Storm
"Aragorn? Where is it located? I mean, where in Europe? Hua Houwei saw that the style of clothing was similar to that of El Salvador a few days ago, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
Olamilu muttered a series of bird words, and after the translator translated them one by one, Hua Houwei suddenly said: "Oh, Aragorn, it turns out that there is really Aragorn." "Aragon is the Spain that will dominate the world for a hundred years, and at this moment the first Spanish monarch is fighting for the empire that is about to take shape.
The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (Spanish name: Carlos I), the son of Queen Juana of Castile and Philip I, inherited the throne of Castile, LeΓ³n, Aragon, Navarre and other countries as the grandson of the Trastamara family.
"You want to make a pact with Daming? Hehe, let's stay first. Lord Wang, this person will be handed over to you, be sure to let him know how magical the various commodities of Daming are. Mr. Olamiru, trade is okay, and I can also give you the most favored nation status of the Kingdom of Aragon, but I am accompanying my mother, oh, the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty, and my sister, the princess of the Ming Dynasty, so please contact Lord Wang Hongwang and let's talk about it in detail. β
After Hua Houwei made the arrangement, he walked back to Empress Zhang's side, and picked up a red coral with a smile: "Mom, I think this red coral is good, crystal clear, and there are no impurities, can I give you a phoenix hairpin?" β
Empress Zhang naturally likes it, but the thrift she has cultivated over the years still makes her hesitate: "Wei'er, is it extravagant?" It's too expensive! β
Hua Houwei laughed: "Mom, scarcity is expensive, there are many things in the sea, and if you go to sea more in the future, it will be worthless." The main thing is that the quality is good, my mother looks good with it, and you don't have to think about it if you don't have money. β
As soon as Taikang heard this, he immediately asked: "Give Taikang a dowry!" β
Zhou Ruonan laughed, grabbed Taikang and teased: "Taikang, what is a dowry?" β
"A person must have a dowry, or the husband's family will look down on him! Uh, pot pot, what kind of home is the husband's house? β
Hua Houwei smiled indifferently, and said proudly: "Who dares to look down on my sister Zhu Houwei?" Hum! The dowry is your brother, and you can play with it if you want to wear it, but it's red coral. β
Zhou Ruonan looked at Taikang enviously, why is his brother so stingy? I don't even give a sugar gourd if I want it.
Hua Houwei looked at Zhou Ruonan, and picked out a red coral from the wooden box: "Zhou Ruonan, you look good when you wear it!" I'll make you a hairpin, a necklace, a pair of earrings, a set, and don't be angry. β
Zhou Ruonan nodded happily, pretending to be surprised: "Angry? When did I get angry? Am I that stingy? Zhu Houwei, don't spread rumors and slander my quiet and virtuous image! β
Women, you should never try to understand their brain circuits, and you'll have to spend the rest of your life in an insane asylum. Hua Houwei touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and looked left at him: "Zhou Ruonan, do you know what red coral is?" β
"I don't know, but it should be similar to Hetian Yu, right?"
"Hehe, no. Red coral is a home made by small insects, they have lived on red coral for generations, and wearing red coral is to carry the people of a country. β
Zhou Ruonan's eyes widened: "Isn't it?" You lied to me, didn't you? β
Hua Houwei smiled: "Nanjing Forbidden City also has a silver bureau, I asked them to build a microscope, and when it comes out, we can take a look." β
"Good!"
Looking at Hua Houwei and Zhou Ruonan, Empress Zhang looked in a trance, could it really be? Forget it, both of them are too young, and it is not impossible to think about another five years.
All I got back from Izumo Castle was gold and silver, but Okayama was looted from the bottom to the sky, and there were really a lot of fine products. Queen Zhang led the two little girls to pick for most of the day, and Hua Houwei also took the trouble to accompany them, and the family was happy.
Happy times are always short-lived, and Hua Houwei had to leave. Liu Jin's affairs need to be dealt with, and the aftermath of the shooting of the Japanese army and the wing army needs to be decided by him.
Liu Jin walked away with a contract stamped with the seal of the general yamen, and also carried a whole boatload of gold, silver and jewelry. Half a month later, he returned to the capital, and after the delivery, he met Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao's expression was as usual, and there was nothing unhappy. Liu Jin cautiously talked about all kinds of things in Yingtianfu, and Zhu Houzhao was noncommittal. After Liu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Brother Wei just brought you back?" Don't have anything to explain? β
Liu Jin immediately knelt on the ground: "The prince just said a word, saying, saying that the capital should not meddle in mining." β
Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Okay! β
Liu Jin's eyes widened in surprise, not understanding whether Zhu Houzhao was really not angry, or calm before the storm.
"Don't understand? Hehe, if you don't understand, that's right! Liu Jin, if Brother Wei swallowed his anger and acquiesced in what I did, then I would really be worried. β
"Huh? Long live the lord, the slave is stupid, this, isn't this the other way around? The prince offended the divine power of the Long Live Lord, but he had no objection? β
"Well, what's wrong with that? He's my brother, isn't it normal to be arrogant in front of me? On the contrary, it is the most terrifying look of resignation, Hou Wei has many ideas to fight little ghosts, and when he is wilting, it is the most dangerous time. Alas, Brother Wei is still the same, but it seems that my brother is stingy. β
Liu Jin realized at this time, and while admiring Hua Houwei in his heart, he immediately followed up and said bad things about Yang Tinghe: "Long live the lord is really the long live lord, but the long live lord let the slave maid test King Wu this time, but it is not that the long live lord is stingy." As the saying goes, the three of them become tigers and all mouths are gold, and Long Live Lord also listens to a lot of slander, so he simply asks the slave to prove the innocence of the prince. β
Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded: "I do have this meaning!" Alas, why can't Yang Ting and these people tolerate Brother Wei? β
Liu Jin is worthy of being the head of the Eight Tigers, and this little slander is just right. does not show the mountains or water, does not mention Yang Tinghe's name, just excuses Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao naturally thinks of Yang Tinghe.
"Long live Lord, you can't completely blame Yang Ting and Lord Yang."
"Oh? You slave is very strange today, let's talk about it, why don't you blame Yang Tinghe? I thought that Liu Jin would do his best to slander Yang Tinghe, but I didn't expect that he would defend Yang Tinghe.
"Yang Tinghe is a person who is a long live lord, so he naturally has to think about long live the lord. And sooner or later, the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau will have to match those machinery in Jiangnan, and Lord Yang is taking precautions! β
