[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Jiang Ling finally looked up at the second floor.

There were still two talking men, each wearing a well-tailored tuxedo and an embroidered gown, and the waiter stood upright beside them, waiting for their orders.Not far from them, someone was playing a cello, and the low sound of the cello flowed in the business, isolating the noisy background sound downstairs, and naturally, also isolating the sound of their conversation from the guests on the first floor.

They are still holding goblets, greeting each other with elegant and decent smiles.

Jiang Ling could see their slightly moving lips, but he couldn't read what they were talking about from the movement of their lips.After all, it's not my mother tongue, and there will always be some strangeness after a layer of separation.She turned her head and looked at Kangxi again, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Kangxi didn't notice her movements, he was still frowning and thinking.

Jiang Ling sighed secretly, stepped forward in two steps, followed Kangxi, and walked towards the bustling street outside.The twilight was already deep, and the peddlers and vendors on the street began to pack their things and prepare to go home.The two of them walked on the street empty-handed, which made them look a bit dazzling.

But no one came to harass.Everyone is busy doing their own things.

Jiang Ling walked with Kangxi for a while, and suddenly found it interesting.People in the south really don't seem to care much about what other people are doing.

Kangxi stopped in his tracks, looked back at her suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to make a detour before going back?"

It's rare to have such quiet leisure time, so it's good to walk around with her.When he just went out, he had ordered the guards to follow him secretly, so he didn't worry much about his safety.On the contrary, when I was in the firm just now, I thought of some troublesome things.

Now he wants to go outside for a walk to clear his mind.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, and replied: "Everything is according to the emperor's will."

It was bustling with people everywhere, and if others heard it, it would cause chaos.

Jiang Ling looked up at Kangxi, his expression was still a little indifferent, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had encountered some problem and needed to walk around outside to clear his mind.She thought for a while, and then continued: "Then... let's go around?"

Kangxi looked down at her and smiled faintly: "Very good."

He suddenly grabbed her wrist, ignored Jiang Ling's slightly startled eyes, and led her through the bustling crowd until he reached a slightly spacious street, and then slowed down.Jiang Ling looked up at Kangxi's side face, then looked down at her hands, and was about to speak, when suddenly he took her and walked deeper into the street.

He held her wrist tightly, the palm of his hand was a little hot, he didn't know if it was hot, or he just walked too hastily.

Jiang Ling withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and followed in two or three steps.

Kangxi looked back at her, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes again.He whispered: "Be careful." He turned sideways to block a strong man for her.Jiang Ling froze for a moment, feeling a little flustered, and approached Kangxi unconsciously.

He laughed softly, wrapped her in his arms intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Be careful."

Jiang Ling looked behind him, seeing that the bustling crowds were full of people, he couldn't help but softly called Young Master.

"Well……"

When Kangxi heard her new address, he was startled for a moment, then he whispered in her ear and said with a low smile, "Master?"

Jiang Ling was a little startled.If you don't call him young master, should you call him master?What is Kangxi's rank?

"Okay." Kangxi looked down at her and said with a teasing smile, "Since you called the young master, you have to admit it. The weather is fine today, so I will take the young mistress to Guangzhou City to see the scenery here." , is it different from Beijing. Let’s go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he led her through the crowd of pedestrians, turning his head to look at her with a smile from time to time, his eyes full of ridicule.Jiang Ling followed him in three steps at a time, and the surrounding scenery flashed before his eyes, the deep twilight, the dim lights, the lanterns under the eaves of the big houses, and the small vendors carrying burdens. Shuttle, teach her dizzying.

It took Jiang Ling a long time to react to the young lady's call just now, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Kangxi obviously noticed her face, laughed again and said, "Let's go." Then he picked another bustling alley and went in.This guy was walking very fast, but he held her tightly. She had to follow him closely so as not to get lost.

After passing through two small alleys, his pace slowed down, but he still held her wrist tightly.

"I got rid of the two little tails at the back." He smiled, holding Jiang Ling in his arms, and wiped a drop of sweat from her nose with his fingertips, "Are you tired? Take a break, and wait a while Can go slower."

Leaning in his arms, Jiang Ling panted slightly, and said in surprise, "Did you get rid of two little tails?"

She glanced back, and there was still a crowd of pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, with no end in sight.

"I originally brought four guards with me." He explained with a smile, "But halfway through, there were two more people behind."

Jiang Ling stood on tiptoe in surprise, looked over Kangxi's shoulder and looked behind him.Among the crowds of pedestrians, I saw two or three familiar faces.But because it was secretly protected, they were all dressed in casual clothes.But other people can't see any clues.

She rested in Kangxi's arms for a while, looked up at him again, and asked, "Where is the young master going?"

Kangxi held her shoulders, and waited for her breathing to calm down before he smiled and said: "Walk around as you please, just treat it as an ordinary family who brings his wife out to play. Is there any place you want to go?"

Jiang Ling shook his head.She is not familiar with Guangzhou.I don't even know anything about Guangzhou 300 years ago.

Kangxi waited for a while, but when he didn't get an answer, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I will take you to a place." Then he led Jiang Ling through alleys and came to a simple and simple house.Jiang Ling was still a little surprised, Kangxi had already led her back, nodded slightly to a guard at the back, and signaled him to come to the front.

The guard understood, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the wooden door creaked open.

"I'm here to pick up what was ordered the day before yesterday." The guard said in a deep voice.With that serious expression, if it wasn't for the fact that Kangxi was beside him, Jiang Ling would almost have thought that the guard really came here the day before yesterday to order something and made an appointment to pick it up today.

An old voice came from inside the wooden house: "Come in and get it yourself."

Kangxi nodded towards the guard, and Jiang Ling saw the tall, rough-looking guard hesitated for a moment, but still walked in, thumped up to the attic, and held a small box walked out.When he got closer, he realized that there was actually a pair of pearl earrings inside, which had a hint of light blue color in the dim night.

"A while ago, I heard that two extremely rare light blue pearls came out of the tribute pearls. I thought it would suit you well, so I sent someone directly to Guangzhou to make a pair of earrings. Well, don't look, I'm here There is a surprise hidden in it, and I don’t want you to know it yet. Come here.”

Jiang Ling withdrew his gaze, stood in front of Kangxi, and began to look around.

Jiang Ling knows how rare light blue pearls are, and it is likely that a pair will not be produced in hundreds of years.And Kangxi also said that he hid a surprise in it.surprise? ! ... She glanced at the pair of earrings lying on the satin, and decided to pretend that she didn't see them.

Although I don't know what Kangxi's so-called surprise is, but according to past experience, it is probably more surprise than joy.

Kangxi carefully turned Jiang Ling's shoulders, looked at her earlobes for a moment, and then wanted to take off her earrings with his own hands.She was startled, stopped his hand, and said softly: "Young...Young Master?!" Would she let her wear this guy right now?

Kangxi nodded to the guard, and the guard understood, and handed the pearl earrings together with the silk to Jiang Ling.

"This is for you." Kangxi caressed her earlobe, and whispered next to her ear, "Wear it for me to see, okay?"

……oh oh.

Jiang Ling lowered his head and looked at the pair of earrings, light blue round pearls, exquisite workmanship, fine lines, and fine gemstones inlaid at the head and tail, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is an extremely rare item thing.She looked at it carefully for a while, and apart from seeing some thin patterns on the surface of the pearl, there was nothing weird about it.

But I don't know what Kangxi's so-called surprise refers to?

Jiang Ling thought about it, and took off her earrings in front of Kangxi, and put on the pair of pearl earrings.

Kangxi looked carefully for a moment, saw that Jiang Ling was still in a daze, couldn't help laughing, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice, word by word: "A beauty is like a pearl."

Jiang Ling touched his earlobe subconsciously.

Natural pearls have a slightly icy coolness that permeates the fingertips and is quite comfortable.She raised her eyes to look at Kangxi, stood on tiptoe, and clung to Kangxi's ear, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

There are so many people here, and they have to get very close to ensure that only they can hear the sound.

Kangxi embraced Jiang Ling's waist, brushed the broken hair beside her ear, and said in a low voice, "Excuse me."

There was a moment of silence.

Jiang Ling moved away a little, and looked around. The alley was still full of pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, and no one noticed their strange behavior.Those guards had already walked away, pretending to be passers-by to buy, and did not look this way.

Kangxi grabbed her wrist and said with a smile, "Let's go back."

Jiang Ling responded softly, and walked back slowly along the way Kangxi had come.

"I just figured it out." Kangxi suddenly said, "No matter what those people are here for, as long as they stay in Guangzhou, there will be no big troubles. Their goods can be scattered to Fujian and Jiangnan. , and even spread farther afield, but they can’t go anywhere except Guangzhou City. If they want to do business, they can let their guards or servants go.”

Jiang Ling was surprised and said, "This is for..."

"In the first few years, you have to be more careful." Kangxi said with some emotion, "It just happened that you reminded me that the most difficult thing in the world is the language barrier. I will send a few more people to learn how they speak, as well as their country. The rules here, and the etiquette of other countries. Since we want to do business, reciprocity is the most appropriate, and I have to send a few people to meet their emperor. Well, the king."

Kangxi couldn't figure out the difference between the royal family and the pope in the West, so he could only call it casually.

Jiang Ling stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, "Master, you want to send someone over there?"

Kangxi nodded slowly.

Jiang Ling was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.After a while, he whispered: "That's great."

If it is true as he said, one is to guard against those visitors from the West and Southeast Asia, and the other is to test them, and then slowly learn a lot of things through this kind of guarding and temptation, then it will be a great thing .She breathed a long sigh of relief, recalling the differences she had heard this afternoon about the details of the negotiations, she secretly laughed for a while.

When necessary, she will definitely push up.

wait wait wait.

Just now he said...

I? !
