Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

On March [-]th, the sky was bright and clear, the breeze was blowing, and the water surface of the canal was rippling with ripples. The sky was blue and reflected on the lake, and even the corners of the white clouds could be clearly seen.

"Listen to the waiter." Wei Ruozhu personally sent Meng Jiachen to the canal boat, "Don't make trouble, be like a princess, and when you meet the Thai and Western military to collect money, remember to be clear."

Meng Jiachen said, "Yes."

"Stop swearing at people."

"If they don't scold me, I won't scold them." Meng Jiachen nodded seriously.

Wei Ruozhu had no choice but to say to Daiyu and Ning Yun, "You guys bother."

Daiyu, Ningyun and Ningyun blessed each other, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Wei Ruozhu instructed Baoqin again, "Diplomatically speaking, because you are not an official in the court, you don't need to be too careful with your words. When you should be rude, you are not polite."

Baoqin said: "I sincerely promise."

Wei Ruozhu and Wang Shi said: "These children are young, even the servants and princesses are not that old, and the princess is like that, so you should work harder and thank you when you come back."

Where did Wang dare to accept it, she said naturally: "It must be."

They waited on the canal for a while, Tanchun also arrived, moved the dowry up, the imperial army boarded the boat, and the escort boat started first, and then set off here.

Go south along the canal, stop in Guangdong and Guangxi for a while, wait for Tanchun to go to the wharf, and deliver the goods with the family of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, then continue westward via Kowloon, Hong Kong, eating and playing. In October, the boat is still fast, all the way It was smooth sailing, and we walked fast on land, without stopping, before we arrived in Yangon.

"It's so hot." Meng Jiachen got out of the carriage, stayed in the imperial city of Yangon, and lived in the palace. Needless to say, he got up early this morning, after washing, the first thing he did was lie on the bed, The maid next to her quickly fanned her, "Isn't it October? Why is it so hot? When I was in the capital, I was wearing a cape now."

Tonight is the state banquet, and Ning Yun Daiyu Baoqin happened to have something to go to Meng Jiachen, and asked her to look at the seat chart by the way. Hearing Meng Jiachen's words, she felt the same way. If I knew it, I would have been on the road for a while. Who knew that when entering Myanmar, it would be such a ghostly weather.

Baoqin himself has been to Nanyang many times, and he has been prepared for a long time, saying: "The climate in Myanmar and the capital is much worse. Here, it is a cool month from December to February every year, and a rainy month from March to September. September and October It’s a dry month, so luckily it didn’t come between March and September, otherwise it would rain heavily in the afternoon and the sun shine in the morning, and the whole day would be boring.”

Ning Yun said: "I like the capital city." She sat on one side with a round fan, "If I had known, I would have gone to Fusang with Jinghua, or to America with Sister Baochai, at least it wasn't so hot."

"I want to go too." Meng Jiachen raised his hand.

Daiyu curled up her fingers and knocked on Meng Jiachen's forehead, "Didn't you go to Mumbai once? Why is it still too hot?"

"I was on the boat and I didn't even get off." Meng Jiachen said mischievously.

Wang shi held Ruoyun helplessly and led Shi Xin with one hand, "Can you keep your voice down?"

Burma specially found two palace servants who are proficient in Chinese. Hearing Meng Jiachen's complaint, he hurriedly said, "Princess feels hot, but do you want a wind wheel?"

Meng Jiachen: "...Is there no ice?"

The two palace servants stared at each other: "What is ice?"

Meng Jiachen covered his head with a quilt, "I'm going to die."

Baoqin couldn't help but laughed, "Nanyang can't make ice at all. Even if you buy ice from the north, the climate here is different from that in the west of Tianzhu. Even if you ship it over, you won't be able to store it. Just save it." Bar."

"They don't think it's too hot." Meng Jiachen tugged at her makeup, hollow-out embroidery and white chiffon gauze beanie, pointing to her bare feet with an aggrieved face. She was wearing a gauze dress, cropped trousers, and her arms and legs were exposed by suspenders. Two palace maids with pretty waists said, "I'm all in this suit, and I still have to wear formal clothes at night. Kill me."

Daiyu pulled Meng Jiachen up from the bed, "Just go out and take a walk."

Meng Jiachen still listened to her husband more, so he followed out obediently. Ning Yun planned to take Shi Xin, but Wang didn't agree.

Mrs. Wang handed Ruoyun to the maid, and said, "You go out to play, don't take your brother with you, he cried and made a fuss on the way, you can't coax him."

When Meng Jiachen left, he made a grimace at Shi Xin. Shi Xin pouted and sat beside him unhappily.

Myanmar is known as the country of thousands of pagodas. As the name suggests, if you can’t walk three steps, you will encounter a pagoda, or three floors, or seven floors. After a salute, the woman who bought betel nuts on the street rolled a hookah and rolled up her trousers, sitting under the shade of a palm tree, talking in a language that Ning Yun and others could not understand.

Baoqin listened attentively for a while, then pointed to a woman and said, "She said that her daughter got married the year before last and gave birth to a son, eight-two-fold."

The ground is also different from the Jin Dynasty. The ground in the Jin Dynasty was mostly paved with bricks or marble floors, while Myanmar had many dirt roads. The roads were also different from the Jin Dynasty. The roads were soft to step on, and the imperial city had no walls. , the palace was built along the dense woods, and the Inya Lake came out. The lush branches and leaves of the surrounding trees blocked the white sunlight, and cast speckled spots on the corners of the lake, looking like scattered gold.

Inya Lake is the largest lake in Yangon, the imperial city of Myanmar. At a glance, the clear water of the lake reflects the blue sky. Unknown birds landed on the beach, chirping and chirping, caught by the tide of the lake falling on the beach. on the fish.

Because Meng Jiachen wanted to come out to play, Myanmar decided to become a minister and embrace the thigh of the Jin Dynasty. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect, not only sent the forbidden army to clear the way, but also specially asked the eldest princess and queen to come out to accompany them. Myanmar is rich in gold, and women often use gemstones to dress And gold and silver, it looks extraordinarily luxurious and rich.

It doesn't look like it's being threatened by a foreign enemy at all.

The eldest princess is named Pottao, who believes in Buddhism and always holds a rosary in her hand. The belief in Buddhism in Myanmar is different from that in the Jin Dynasty. It is not just offering a Buddha, but burning incense every day. For this reason, they don’t wear gold belts and silver like ordinary Burmese upper-class people. Except for the gold and jade headdresses on the hair buns, the clothes are far from luxurious as imagined. Instead, they wear white clothes with red belts hanging down from the palace. strip.

The queen is the daughter of a Burmese noble family. She has no surname, and her name is Mahavizayakala. She is the daughter of General Su Leiwei. She wears a golden crown with rubies inlaid on the center line, gold leaves and lotus patterns on the left and right. The voice is very nice, but it's a pity that Ning Yun can't understand.

Baoqin translated: "They invited us to take a boat tour on the lake."

Meng Jiachen used his hand as a fan, "Okay."

Ning Yun and Daiyu also followed. The imperial ship was not small. There was no big tide and wind in the lake, and the ship was stable. The cool wind on the water surface brought a bit of coolness. Away from the hustle and bustle, it looks like a paradise.

Daiyu leaned against the side of the boat and said, "Actually, apart from the temperature, this is a good place to live in seclusion."

Ning Yun smiled and said, "I heard from Baoqin that it rains six months a year."

Daiyu looked regretful, "No way." She used to like rain very much for a while, but recently she dislikes rain the most.

"You say that Siam, Burma, and Tianzhu are all richer than us in terms of wealth, but now they can only be attached to the Jin Dynasty, so as not to become a colony of Taixi." Daiyu looked at Port Tao and Meng Jiachen on the other boat. During the conversation, I couldn't help sighing such a sentence.

But Ning Yun said: "Our Jin Dynasty was not rich, but the land is vast and abundant, and we can advance to fight and retreat to defend." She paused, "Actually, it must be said that the empress is more radical. Taixi's vigor, otherwise, when Taixi invades all Nanyang and forms a siege to the Jin Dynasty, I don't know what will happen."

Many things cannot be solved by good ministers and generals, because national affairs are still the royal family's idea.

For example, Qianlong is a person who is overestimated, and Jiaqing is a guy who can't support the wall, but is willing to listen to others occasionally.

Daiyu stared, and said: "Do you think this country needs a good minister, or a wise monarch?"

Ning Yun was silent for a while, and said: "There is a wise king, but there are no good ministers, but he is the last king. If there are good ministers, if he wants to do something practical, he can only have no power."

Daiyu glanced at Meng Jiachen, stretched out her hand to pick a lotus from the lake, smelled the faint fragrance of the lotus, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, looking at the past and present, the emperor is not so easy to be, and the ambition of the chief assistant can be realized." , but most of the emperor's ambitions cannot be realized."

"It's a bit far away to talk about this topic now." Ning Yun said with a smile: "We couldn't see it at that time."

The few people stayed from the lake until the sun went down, and it was almost time for the state banquet. Then they got off the boat, washed and washed, and waited for all the people from Honglu Temple to arrive before entering the main hall.

The eating habits of Myanmar are different from those of the Jin Dynasty. The staple food is served first, followed by desserts, and hot dishes are served last. The red and yellow curry crab, pork, fish, and meat are all served with relatively strong flavors such as vanilla. I got a plate of half-cooked vegetables with three kinds of sauces, pork sauce, fish sauce, and a sauce that is a mixed system of chili, garlic and shrimp. Finally, I ordered a tea salad after the Jin Dynasty was stunned.

"Isn't this tea?" Daiyu was a little surprised.

Ning Yun gently pushed aside the cabbage and tomato with chopsticks, picked up a dark green leaf, and said after a long time, "This is definitely tea."

The two looked at Meng Jiachen who was sitting with the Burmese king's family with some sympathy.

Meng Jiachen thought hehe when he saw such a big pot of mixed tea leaves, but as a princess, there are always cultural differences. The problem is that people serve you the dishes that they think are the best. Not only can you not say what it is, I have to bite the bullet and eat it, which is even more painful than the last time I went to Tianzhu.

Meng Jiachen thought that Thai and Western dishes were unpalatable. Fried fish and fried potatoes had no taste at all. If you make a thick soup, it’s not sour or sweet. I don’t know what it tastes like. Who knows, I just found out today. It’s the most amazing. here.

The author has something to say: I have never been to Myanmar in these places in Southeast Asia, but my wife has been there. I heard from my wife that the tea salad is terrible

The description of the scenery comes from the photos taken by my wife. I heard that the original royal palace in Myanmar was next to the lake, and it was finally lost by the United Kingdom.
