[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Chapter 84 The 5th Year of Hongzhi

The author has something to say: Because there was a problem with V today, I had to send it at [-] o'clock, and I will make up two chapters tomorrow. I'm sorry everyone, I missed the appointment.

Zhu Houzhao was about to kick him out, but Du Ruo turned over and pressed him down, watching him kicking there desperately but not letting go. "Let me go." Zhu Hou took care of Liu Jin and almost buried himself in the corner, struggling more and more. "There are still people watching."

Du Ruo saw that his little face was flushed red, and finally there was some heat underneath him.Only then did he let go of him unhurriedly.Zhu Houzhao was about to crawl out, but Du Ruo pulled him back again.Zhu Hou took care of Liu Jin, his face turned red, and he was even more ashamed and angry. He greeted Du Ruo with his small fists.The problem was that he was still reluctant to hit hard, and Du Ruo grabbed his two fists at once.

The two masters were flirting there, Liu Jin buried herself in the corner of the wall in embarrassment, and kept silently saying "I can't see me, I can't see me, I can't see me." The two young masters are so affectionate, you know the emperor what.Eunuch Gao, I am suffering for you.Seeing that Lord Xiaoguo didn't shy away from him at all, Liu Jin even regarded himself as a decoration in the room and dared not move it.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao was finally too tired to move, and let Du Ruo hug him.There was still Liu Jin in the cabin, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't say anything, so he could only grab Du Ruo's flesh bitterly.Du Ruo was not annoyed, she touched his hand, it was hot, and she was very satisfied.He used his feet to probe Zhu Houzhao's feet, but it was still a little cold, so he sandwiched Zhu Houzhao's feet between his legs to warm his feet.

He warmed his feet with good intentions, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't screw it on anymore.He sighed and lay down obediently.

"Are you still cold?" Du Ruo whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear.

Zhu Houzhao felt the itching in his ear was unbearable, so he pushed him away. "Do you still want to lie here? If you still want to, just lie down obediently." At this moment, Du Ruo finally stopped moving.

At night, Du Ruo even ignored Gao Feng's dissatisfied eyes, and lay on Zhu Houzhao's bed on the grounds that it would be warmer if they slept together.After only half a month, Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo finally arrived in Quanzhou, the first port of Ming Dynasty.

This time, Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruoke didn't have the treatment of someone to pick up the boat.It was late at night when we arrived, but Quanzhou was not at all the dark night city of the Ming Dynasty in Zhu Houzhao's memory.The lights here are brightly lit, and on all kinds of ships in the port, the lanterns of each house are hanging high.Children on the riverside sell all kinds of food by the lights of the big boats.

Docking in the middle of the night, naturally there is no inn to stay in.Du Ruo rushed to the shore in twos and threes, and bought a clay pot of stewed chicken with taro from somewhere, heated it up with the stove in the cabin, and had supper there with Zhu Houzhao.After drinking the hot chicken soup, Zhu Houzhao felt his whole body warmed up.Du Ruo held him in his arms, and he fell asleep in a daze.

Waking up early in the morning, I saw Gao Feng simmering a small clay pot of lean meat mallow porridge on the stove, and there were fried small fish beside it. The ham was served out of the hot water.After waiting for Zhu Houzhao to wash up, let him eat again.

Asked where Du Ruo had gone, Gao Feng said that he had gone to an inn.He also said that he was not worried, that he went with the Jin Yiwei, and that nothing would happen.Zhu Houzhao then began to enjoy his breakfast.

Zhu Houzhao had eaten mallow at his grandfather's house, and it was also called winter vegetable there.In the past, when Zhu Houzhao had indigestion, Zhu's mother would cook mallow porridge for him, and it was all right once.He hadn't seen this thing when he got here, and it was full of memories when he drank it.Not to mention the salty and fragrant ham.

Seeing how delicious Zhu Houzhao's food was, Gao Feng felt relieved, first seeing Du Ruo bring this thing back, Gao Feng was also worried that Zhu Houzhao would not like it because he had never seen this kind of dish.It was Du Ruo's insistence that Gao Feng didn't replace it.It seems that Du Ruo still knows Zhu Houzhao's preferences very well.

After breakfast and packing himself up, Zhu Houzhao set foot on the land of Quanzhou for the first time.The weather was very good today, and the warm sun shone on Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao wanted to take off his big fur clothes, but Gao Feng hurriedly stopped him, saying that it would be cold in a cool place when it was hot here.Only then did Zhu Houzhao give up.

After Zhu Houzhao arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he had only seen two cities, one was Beijing and the other was Hangzhou.Although Quanzhou is not as grand and majestic as Beijing, nor as graceful and beautiful as Hangzhou, it has a unique beauty, which is the beauty of the prosperous age.Quanzhou is worthy of being the largest port of Ming Dynasty. From time to time, I meet a foreigner dressed as an Arab or a European on the street.

In the shops on both sides of the road, all kinds of Yi people's goods are readily available.Whether it is Indian spices or European clocks, you can find a place to sell him here.The hottest ones are the silk shops and porcelain shops opened by the Chinese.

The Chinese silk shops here should all be in the wholesale business, because Zhu Houzhao saw that although they had many styles, they only had two or three silks.In a porcelain shop, Zhu Houzhao also saw a foreigner customizing porcelain with an oil painting, and the little translator next to him explained that it was their Duke.The Duke will reward his bravest knights with porcelain with his own face on them.

Before Du Ruo came back, Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to go too far, he just walked around a few streets and stopped.I bought a set of Chinese zodiac ceramic pen holders that I liked very much, and I went back to the ship satisfied.When returning to the ship, Zhu Hou took care of Du Ruo who was waiting for him on the deck, and there was a man in a blue short jacket standing beside him.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's return, Du Ruo hurriedly went up to him and said, "I've found a house, let's go there now." After speaking, he told the people around Zhu Houzhao, "This is Hu Er, he is most familiar with Quanzhou, in the future You can call him when you go out. I hired him for a month, and this month he will be our guide."

Hu Er took out his hands from his sleeves, bowed to Zhu Houzhao with both hands showing his white and neat teeth, and said with a smile: "Hi, young master, there is no place in Quanzhou that I don't know, no matter it's food or food. Yes, for fun, only what you can't think of, young master, nothing I can't find."

Seeing that he looked very agile, Zhu Houzhao also nodded with a smile, saying that he would ask him more in the future.

Hu Er was very happy when he got a big order. Although there were very few people who were willing to come out to do work in this season, such a big order of five taels of silver a month was rare.Besides, one of the two young masters was wearing a fine fox fur cloak, and the other was wearing an ermine jacket. They looked luxurious and generous, and maybe the final reward was also generous.He just waited to finish this order and have a good year.

The boat was entrusted to the local Cao Gang to take care of it, and a month's protection fee was paid.Du Ruo and Zhu Houzhao moved into this small courtyard where they lived temporarily.This kind of small courtyard is specially rented out to merchants. Now it is the off-season, and there are not many people in this street.Early in the morning, Du Ruo had asked someone to do a little cleaning, and now it's just right to move in.

There are a dozen or so rooms in a courtyard house, where Zhu Houzhao, Du Ruo, Liu Jin, Gao Feng and Du Ruo's two close servants live.There is also a house reserved for Jin Yiwei who is on duty at night.

Zhu Houzhao also rented the two courtyards on the left and right, both for Jin Yiwei.About forty Jin Yiwei and one Xue Ji were just able to stay.Finally able to take a good bath, Zhu Houzhao took a hot bath happily.When I came out, I saw Du Ruo writing there, and it turned out to be a notice looking for Western missionaries.Zhu Houzhao chuckled, rubbed his hair and said with a smile: "You write such a notice, can those missionaries know how to read?"

Du Ruo saw that he was wiping slowly with a piece of cotton cloth, and took it with a frown. "Next time you wash your hair, let Liu Jin and the others wipe it for you, or let me do it for you. You're going to catch a cold again."

Zhu Houzhao scratched his nose in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "You might as well write a notice asking the person who brought a foreign missionary to give him how much money, it will be more attractive." Du Ruo agreed with a smile, bit by bit Let Zhu Houzhao dry his head.It happened that Liu Jin came in with warm feet for Zhu Houzhao, so he had to walk aside silently, and Zhu Houzhao glared at Du Ruo several times in anger.

After drying his hair, Du Ruo wrapped Zhu Houzhao's hair with black satin, and took a thick cotton cloth to drape over Zhu Houzhao's back.Du Ruo smelled that Zhu Houzhao smelled good, and seeing that Gao Feng was about to come in from the outside, she quickly kissed Zhu Houzhao, and quickly turned her head to write the notice.Zhu Houzhao was left standing there alone.

Gao Feng came in and grabbed Zhu Houzhao, muttering, "Your Highness is too careless. After washing his hair, it should be baked in such cold weather. How can he just stand here and be cold?" said After that, he took Zhu Houzhao to the fire.Du Ruo was left there writing while holding back a smile.

Seeing that the things were moved, Zhu Houzhao passed by again, so Liu Jin had to move the things back silently.

Zhu Houzhao's hair was dry, and after the two of them had lunch, Zhu Houzhao changed into an ordinary padded jacket and went shopping with Du Ruo.As expected, Hu Er is very familiar with Quanzhou. As soon as Du Ruo said that he wanted to post a notice to find missionaries, Hu Er took a few people to a quiet alley. Du Ruo looked at this alley with some doubts and posted it here Does it work or not.

Hu Er explained that there are many believers in the alley, and they will naturally find missionaries when they see it.Zhu Houzhao asked again if there were many religious believers here, and Hu Er said that there were not many. Most of the people living in this alley were descendants of barbarian people, so there were more religious believers.

Zhu Houming explained that the Yi people he mentioned were not only descendants of Europeans, but also Semu people and Arabs, so he was very surprised. Aren't they natural enemies? How can they live in harmony.It's just that Hu Er doesn't know anymore.

After posting the notice, Hu Er took a group of people to visit Quanzhou.Unlike the scene around the port this morning, Zhu Houzhao saw another different Quanzhou.
