[Red Mansion] Sister Lin's sweet pet after marriage

After ten days of wandering on the sea, after successfully landing in Champa, everyone was refreshed and could not hide the tiredness of the world.Seeing this, Shui Lan asked Dongshang to book three upper rooms in the largest inn in the city, and at the same time bought and purchased dry food and fresh water for supplies.

The windows are bright and clean, and the silk quilt is light and warm. The two haven't slept well for days and feel that they will look at each other as soon as they enter the room. It’s been three or two days, I’m afraid it’s really wilting!”

Shui Lan saw that her face had softened a little, her hair became more shaved, her brows were deep, and Daiyu couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw it, and sighed: "You don't get rid of your mat-choosing disease for a day, why are you still running around?"

Shui Lan smiled without saying a word, suddenly got up and hugged her to the bed, Daiyu couldn't help but exclaimed, the next moment her mouth was blocked by another soft flap, and a frivolous murmur blew into her ear: "What can I do? Isn't there a good medicine for madam? Most people can sleep faster when they are extremely tired."

After all, it is endless tossing, the lingering fragrance of the small room.Daiyu just felt that her body was not her own anymore, she was completely softened into mud by the water billow, and she let him do whatever she wanted.

When it was time to light the lanterns, Dongshang came to invite the two of them to have a meal.As soon as the door creaked open, the prince walked out first. I saw him sweeping away the exhaustion he had just arrived in Champa.On the other hand, the princess who came out later, Dongshang was almost taken aback, she could almost be described as pale, only her starry eyes were slightly darkened, her dimples were red, it seemed that she had rested, why was she still so tired?

However, Dongshang always knew how to be careful, and never talked too much when he shouldn't ask, so he suppressed the doubts that floated up, and bowed his head to lead.

The dinner was well prepared, because the meals on the boat were not very tasty, everyone's swallowing speed was faster than usual, for Daiyu, she was still eating elegantly, she unconsciously moved a few more chopsticks.

Dongshang sat at the bottom, and Shui Lan greeted her to drink a few glasses of wine, and then turned her eyes on Daiyu's face, and finally couldn't bear to remind her: "Princess, the weather here is hot, don't wear old clothes. I'm afraid it's not suitable, the subordinate has purchased new clothes and will send them to the room later."

Before she could say a word, she could not hide her embarrassment with her plain face, and her slender hands subconsciously pulled up her neckline, coughing in embarrassment.Others didn't understand why, Shui Lan understood in her heart that there were ambiguous traces of rouge all over her snow-white skin, and then she smiled to tell the difference: "Madam is weak and can't bear the cold, I may be uncomfortable when I first arrive in Champa, I will change it later." You might as well put on a thin shirt."

Now that Shui Lan had spoken, he had nothing to ask, and everyone started drinking and eating again, chatting about the weather and itinerary at sea from time to time, looking relaxed and happy.

The climate in Champa is warm and warm, often like April and May in the Central Plains. The locals don’t know what frost and snow are, and the leaves are evergreen in all seasons. They use flowers blooming as spring and leaves falling as autumn to distinguish them.

After ample rest, Shuilan began to ask Dongshang to start selling the porcelain tea bowls, silk silk and other products that he carried locally. Champa people love the things of the Central Plains very much, and they exchanged [-]% of the light gold.In exchange for enough gold and silver, another batch of ebony and jalan incense from the mountains were purchased, and they were still loaded on the merchant ship.

Daiyu was puzzled by this, and Shui Lan handed over an ebony bracelet, and saw that the beads were black and plump, delicate and translucent, and explained: "The ebony in Champa is of excellent quality, surpassing all other countries. It is produced; Kalan incense is unique to this country, and there is no other place in the world to produce it, it is very precious, and it is exchanged for gold in the Central Plains, and there is a price but no market."

Although a few words, it can be seen that Shuilan knows the high and low prices of things very well. The more Daiyu listens to him, the more she admires him, and she will even pester him for strange local anecdotes and hear his insights different from that of a boudoir.

In the next two days, several people put on short-sleeved shirts that are common in the local area, and various kinds of cotton cloth handkerchiefs around them. Their feet were dyed black with water mixed with cuttlefish bile, and they all walked barefoot.It was a day when the sun was shining brightly and it was so hot that Shui Lan was about to go out. Daiyu hurriedly brought a bamboo hat, Shui Lan lowered her head slightly, and Daiyu wrapped her temples lightly with her hands. Hit him on the head.

After tidying up, Daiyu took two steps back, looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "The makeup is the same as that of Sun Xingzhe on the stage. The clothes of these people are really strange."

When Shui Lan heard this, she touched her body involuntarily, and became more interested: "It's the first time I wear this too, but I'm not used to the empty feet. It's too hot outside, Madam, don't go out, wait until I come back." As he spoke, he came closer, pecked his cheeks lightly, and then went away with a smile.

The place where they moored and landed is called Xinzhou, which is a port a hundred miles northeast of Champa King City.There is an earthen village on the bank. There are about forty or fifty families in the village, living and guarding for generations.Because there are merchant ships from various countries docking here all the year round, the villagers have long been accustomed to foreigners with different skin colors and hair colors, so when a handsome young man from China with a lot of money comes to visit, it does not seem particularly abrupt.

The Champa people have a deep relationship with the Central Plains, and when they heard that the noble Central Plains people asked for advice, the old village owner rushed out to greet them, and invited them into the village to rest for a while.Shui Lan's attitude is modest and gentle, the silks and other things he presented are bright and gorgeous, and he talks about local customs and customs without touching any sensitivity. Very warm.

The topic went around several times, and finally we chatted about recent anecdotes from Zhenzhen Kingdom.

"The current king of Zhenzhen Kingdom is not the heir of the royal family, but the son-in-law of the old lord. It is said that the previous kings have never left the palace. Only the new lord has the holy iron bestowed by the goddess embedded on his body. The miraculous effect of invulnerability. Speaking of this goddess is even more bizarre. It is true that a tall tower with golden light was built in the capital. The current king has to enter the tower every night to serve the goddess. The queen slept with her concubine. The local people said that there was a nine-headed beauty and snake spirit enshrined in the pagoda. If the king did not go to the golden pagoda for a night, disasters would come. For this reason, the new lord and The queen has no heirs since she got married, and some people say that the queen sheds tears every day, but there is nothing she can do about it."

The chat of the village owner was in full swing, it was rare that someone was willing to listen patiently, his old face glowed red with excitement.

As if not paying attention to such bizarre rumors, the gentle young master of the Central Plains continued to ask: "Are there really many people from the Central Plains there? How is the market going?"

The old village master looked him up and down, and smiled mysteriously: "I saw it as soon as you came in. Do you want to go to Zhenzhen to do business? I advise you to go to another country or stay in Champa. Zhenzhen is there. There are a lot of merchants in the Central Plains, but they can’t compare to the situation in the past two years. Since the new king came to the throne and changed a group of officials and prime ministers, the taxes have been extremely heavy, and they can’t make much money by selling things. The disaster of prison."

Shui Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, a bit surprised: "What do you say? Doing business properly, will it cause disaster?"

The old man thought for a while before answering: "This new king is not only violent, but also stingy and greedy for money. He was originally in charge of the army, and he took the throne by marrying the old king's daughter. A coup d'état failed in the end, but it made him no longer trust anyone, and he governed the country with iron and blood pressure. Until three or four years ago, Zhenzhen country was hit by a once-in-a-hundred-year drought, and this person who could pray for rain appeared A capable man, it is said that he wields a sword and performs tricks, and rain will fall all over the world. At first, the king did not believe it, but in the end, when faced with the gold-like facts, the king was ecstatic, and regarded him as a guest of honour, and he was registered as a national teacher. So if it is The king can still listen to the words of the national teacher."

Shui Lan nodded, and then asked, "Except for the national teacher, shouldn't the prime minister of Zhenzhen Kingdom be favored by the king? I know that the prime minister of Champa has a lot of power."

Unexpectedly, the old village owner snorted, and his eyes showed contempt: "That's just a jackal that sucks the bones. His name is Moyinluo in Fan language, which means boundless night. He really lives up to his name! If Said that the national teacher still has the bones of immortality that you people in the Central Plains say, this prime minister is a complete devil. I can't count how many families were blackmailed by him to pieces, crying and shaking the sky. However, he is very flattering, yes The new king has tried his best to pursue him before he ascended the throne, so he got a high official and rich salary. But I heard that he and the national teacher are not used to each other, and the two never meet each other, so I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

The true king is violent and greedy for money, suspicious by nature, not easy to approach... There are strange rumors, you can start with... Among them, the prime minister and the national teacher are not at odds, so you can make a fuss.

The pen and ink in the room were empty, the candles were flickering, and Shui Lan was concentrating on recording all what he had seen and heard during the day, and at the same time marked his own opinions on the side.The lantern exploded for a moment, then dimmed a bit, Daiyu pulled out a hairpin and picked the heart of the candle, watched the flame rise again and filled the room with light, she silently stayed by his side.

After writing for a long time, as soon as Shui Lan twisted her slightly stiff neck, three cold fingers touched her, kneading slowly with moderate strength, at first there was a little soreness, and then there was boundless comfort.

Shui Lan closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a long time, then somehow fell asleep, before she was half asleep and half awake, she was still muttering: "Madam rest your hands, don't rub your hands, be careful for a while...I'm fine...just sleep."

Daiyu didn't say a word, she just stared at the sleeping man on the couch, seeing his long eyelashes drooping slightly, his breathing long, his fingertips traced little by little between the handsome brows, and finally bent the corner of his mouth quietly, while blowing out The lamp on the table opened the quilt and curled into his arms, falling into a deep dream together.
