As Li Qing expected, only one day later, the young ladies from the big families who came to 'apply' were crowded, and they almost lined up outside the Hou Mansion.

In this regard, Li Qing felt that his head was big.

Li Hao was not surprised, he was not stinky, in his words: "I, Li Hao, am golden, handsome, and have a title inheritance, and I want to marry my woman, it is not uncommon to row from Jinling to Suzhou and Hangzhou." ”

As a result, in exchange for Li Qing's two big mouths.

"No matter!"

Li Qing put aside the next sentence, you should fish and fish, you should listen to the play.

Don't blame him for being lazy, it's really ...... There are too many people, but the quality is not bad, he is about to be dazzled, so he simply handed it over to Zhu Wanqing.

He is a mother-in-law, and he has more say in this matter than him.

After a few comfortable days, Li Qing rested and prepared to leave for Jiaozhi.

"Uncle Li, can you come back a year ago?" Zhu Wanqing asked.

"What, you're still afraid that you won't be able to handle the maritime business?"

"What my mother means, don't delay drinking my son's full moon wine." Li Hao's cheap addition, looking like he was going to do a big job.

“…… Darn! Zhu Wan was angry.

"How is this a bastard?" Li Hao said weakly, "If I don't bastard, how can you hold your grandson?" ”

"You ......"

"Mother's anger is relieved," Li Hao hurriedly softened, "Don't worry, you choose a daughter-in-law for me, after October, I will definitely give you back a big fat boy, maybe more than one...... Alas, it hurts, it hurts. ”

"Haha...... Li Qing couldn't help laughing, "Let's go." ”

With that, he turned over his horse and raised his whip.

'Sigh ......'

The horse neighed, and drove Li Qing away with four hooves, and after a short time, he disappeared into the alley.

Zhu Wan said clearly: "I haven't even told you Grandpa Li a parting gift." ”

"That's not bad." Li Hao touched his head and smiled, "Besides, it's not that he won't come back, why are you so sad?" ”

"You know what?"

"I don't understand, but ...... After getting along for so long, I feel that Qingye is very melancholy, I haven't seen him smile before, and when I leave, I can make him smile, and it's also my ability. Li Hao said with a hippie smile.

Zhu Wanqing raised her hand, but she didn't fall, just sighed softly.

…

March.

Cochin.

Han Wangfu.

"You're here," Zhu Qijin was very happy, "It's been a hard journey, right?" ”

"It's fine."

"I didn't expect you to come so early." Zhu Qijin said, "In terms of time, next year is the deadline. ”

"I'm mainly afraid that you won't be able to bear it and think I'm going to miss the appointment." Li Qing took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and put it down again.

"It's not as good as Daming?" Zhu Qijin asked.

Li Qing nodded: "It's the same Longjing, and the freshly picked tea leaves taste naturally different from those transported over long distances." ”

Zhu Qijin smiled, and the scene greetings were also done, and he went straight to the topic:

"Shall we begin?"

"Don't worry, you are busy with the matter at hand first, we are not a day or two." Li Qing smiled, "I've come here, can I run again?" ”

After a pause, "I want to walk around in Cochin, take a look, and give it to someone who can speak Chinese." ”

"That's fine." Zhu Qijin readily agreed, "I do have a lot of things to do now, probably ...... How about starting recuperation in earnest a month? ”

"Yes." Li Qing had no objection.

Da Ming has no big deal, he is not in a hurry, this time he came to Jiaozhi, he also wanted to know more about Jiaozhi.

In the mouths of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, Jiaozhi is a barbarian land, of course, in their cognition, except for the Ming Dynasty, all of them are barbarians.

However, Cochin is of great strategic importance to the Ming Dynasty.

- Maritime Supply Depot!

It's not the only one, but it's the one that deserves the most attention!

…

Li Qing walked along the coastline for a month, during which he not only went to see the current 'supply station', but also had a full understanding of the customs and ideology of Jiaozhi.

After a while, Li Qing was settled.

Jiaozhi up and down, has a positive attitude towards Daming maritime merchants as a whole.

There is no other reason, if this natural route is compared to a highway, then Jiaozhi is a high-speed service area, the more developed Daming maritime business, the greater the benefit of Jiaozhi.

There are too many business opportunities derived, merchant ships are replenished, and merchants are consumed...... It has greatly improved the lives of the people of Jiaozhi, and they are naturally happy to do so.

At the same time, Li Qing also began to try to learn the Jiaozhi language.

With the passage of time, the bloodline will fade, and the Han Wang's feelings for Daming will become weaker and weaker, and Li Qing does not dare to hope that Jiaozhi will always be so obedient.

Although the two are mutually beneficial, it is difficult to guarantee that in the future, Jiaozhi will not sit on the ground and raise the price, turning the supply station into a black shop.

Only by understanding the customs and mastering the language can we better respond.

After a lap, Li Qing returned to the Han Palace, recuperating for Zhu Qijin.

Actually, these are not bothering, and even, not much different from a vacation, the average day is not busy for an hour, and there are days off.

On five days off and two days off, one hour of work every day, the rest of the time can be used freely, half of which is used by Li Qing to learn the local language.

Zhu Qijin treated him very politely and tried his best to meet his needs.

Because of the maritime merchants, many things of the Ming Dynasty can be seen, bought, and used here; All in all, Li Qing is living quite nourishingly.

However, the fly in the ointment is the diet, as well as entertainment, which is far less comfortable than Daming.

…

Early summer, midsummer......

Li Qing learned the customs of Jiaozhi while learning the language of Jiaozhi, and recuperating Zhu Qijin's body, which became a matter of piggybacking on his feet.

Obviously he went abroad to work, but he lived a vacation abroad.

In the process, Li Qing keenly discovered the difference between the climate of Jiaozhi and the Ming Dynasty.

In the summer, it's even hotter.

In other words, it's warmer in winter.

As Li Qing expected, the time came in late autumn and early winter, which verified his conjecture.

Mo said that it is warmer than Jingshi and Jinling.

This discovery makes Li Qing excited, if it works properly in the future, the granary of Daming will not be limited to Daming.

He is more confident in breaking the game.

~

Before you know it, the winter solstice is quietly coming.

Zhu Qijin's 'second stage of treatment' is over, the whole person is radiant, and Li Qing is also full of harvest, not only found another key to breaking the game, but also mastered one more foreign language.

Now, he can communicate with the locals almost without barriers.

For most of the past six months, he has lived a fulfilling life and is generally very pleasant, if it weren't for the fact that there is still a sick number at home, he really wants to live for a while.

Influenced by Han culture, the winter solstice has now become a festival of Jiaozhi.

- Eat dumplings on the winter solstice.

The hot dumplings were served on the table, and they looked very appetizing, but Li Qing only tasted one, and then put down the chopsticks.

Dumplings are indeed dumplings, filling...... I really can't compliment it.

It's not that it's unpalatable, it's just a little weird.

"Not to sir's taste?"

"It's normal for one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, and there are differences in taste." Li Qing smiled, and then said, "I'm leaving." ”

Zhu Qijin was not surprised, and asked, "When is it, I'll prepare it for Mr." ”

"I'll leave tomorrow and prepare to ......," Li Qing said with a smile, "Let's prepare some entanglements." ”

"Anything else?" Zhu Qijin asked.

"You don't need anything else." Li Qing shook his head and advised: "Pay attention to your diet, don't just eat meat, but also eat more vegetables. ”

Zhu Qijin nodded slowly: "You can prescribe me another prescription, I usually use it." ”

Li Qing: "......"

I said that it was not necessary, and I thought that it would be a few years to leave, so I still prescribed him a warm prescription.

"Once every seven days, after meals."

"Seven days?"

"It's seven days." Li Qing was afraid that he would be wrong, so he corrected it.

Zhu Qijin nodded sneerfully, "Got it." ”

~

Early the next morning, Li Qing embarked on the return ......

At the beginning of the lunar month,

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

"It's really fast, it's been almost a year, and I don't know if that grandson has fulfilled his original words." Li Qing muttered and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was still a fresh face, Li Qing reported his identity, and not long after, Li Hao came over.

"Yo, Master Qing, it's really you!"

"Where's your mother?"

"She's gone to work on business, and she won't be back until two days later." Li Hao hurriedly made an invitation, "Master Qing, you are late, I said that I would be able to come back before winter." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare the wine and food, I rushed all the way, but I was tired." Li Qing asked as he walked, "Is there a Ding in the house?" ”

"Uh... Not yet, but pregnant. Li Hao said with a smile: "It's in the spring of the New Year." ”

"That's it," Li Qing was disappointed, "I knew I wouldn't come, how good it would be to go to Beijing." ”

If Empress Zhang was really pregnant, she would have been born at this time, and she might be able to catch up with the full moon wine and mix a palace meal or something.

“…… I've worked hard. Li Hao said stupidly.

Li Qing's face was full of black lines, "Are you working hard, you are simply obsessed with women." ”

Li Hao: -_-||

"It's all here, let's celebrate the New Year here."

"No, Jingshi still has your uncle," Li Qing sighed, "I haven't been away for so long, I won't go to see it, and the New Year will not be steady." ”

"Okay then." Li Hao sighed and asked, "We made so many pills for my uncle before, it shouldn't matter to him, right?" ”

Li Qing sighed, "Theoretically, this is the case, but if you don't take a look, you won't feel at ease." ”

While talking, the two came to the guest hall.

Li Hao asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food, bath water, and call his wife.

"This is the distant elder of our family, Grandpa Li beyond the Nine Clans." After Li Hao introduced his wife, he said to Li Qing again, "Master Qing, this is my daughter-in-law Xiao Song." ”

"Hello Grandpa Li."

"Okay," Li Qing took out a handful of golden beans from his arms, "I'm in a hurry, I don't have any preparation." ”

Song was stunned, this grandfather who was too young to talk to was really ...... Break fresh ground.

"Thank you, Grandpa Li." Song settled down and stepped forward to take it with both hands.

"No thanks, that's what he deserves." Li Hao smiled and said, "It's cold, you're pregnant again, go and rest." ”

Song nodded and said apologetically: "Grandpa Li, my granddaughter-in-law is out of company." ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Qing bowed slightly, and when she walked away, she asked, "What is the situation of her mother's family?" ”

"It's a small landlord, there are thousands of acres of mulberry fields at home, and it's in Jinling...... Not at all. Li Hao said.

"Is there anyone in the family who is an official?"

"I did it in the previous dynasty, and it has long since declined."

"That's good." Li Qing put his mind at ease and urged: "Hurry up and serve the wine and food, I'm still in a hurry." ”

Li Hao was dissatisfied: "Are you so anxious? ”

"Of course, Jingshi still has a wedding banquet waiting for me."

"What wedding feast?" Li Hao wondered, "My uncle is like that, can he still take a concubine?" ”

Li Qing: "...... Your cousin-in-law gave birth. ”
