Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

In the blink of an eye, Daiyu and Yongyu had been wandering around Qianxiang Country for two or three months.During this period, except that Yongyu got a lot of suitors who made mistakes by showing his face casually and bought a Huludao (Yongyu proposed to name it Xiangyu Island or Beauty Island, but Daiyu insisted on calling it Huludao). , The Lin family's fleet has gained a great reputation in Nanyang.

Lin Miao is indeed a genius in business.

In the land of Qianxiang Country, it is as rare for a man to take the lead in doing business, as it is for a woman in the Central Plains to hold up a piece of the sky and go out to run around.

Although Lin Miao has just arrived, he is still a man.However, there is nothing inappropriate and thoughtful in speaking and doing things.He didn't know where to find out how to store many special products, what is the effect of the seller's preferences, and the usual methods of raising prices.The more people underestimate him, the more they will suffer a lot.

But Lin Miao is very humane in doing business.Stay on top of everything, don't ask for the most money, and never push people too far.A very profitable business, he talked about twelve cents, but in the end he earned eight cents.Even those profiteers who have been manipulated by him and calculated that their fortunes will be wiped out, after dealing with Lin Miao, they are all convinced, and they can't wait to hand over to Lin Miao and the Lin family. this friend.

However, Daiyu is much more at ease.She handed over all the business matters to Lin Miao and the steward of the Kui family who came with the boat.These two people, one smarter than the other, sang together and cooperated with each other, turning the whole Nanyang shopping mall upside down but still enjoying it.

So, what is Daiyu responsible for when she is free?

She is only in charge of eating, drinking and having fun, and even learned how to gamble in Qian Xiangguo.

Daiyu's mouth is very tricky, she has long been tired of eating ordinary delicacies from mountains and seas.Manna also knew that the food of the Central Plains was extensive and profound, so she specially selected Nanyang specialty delicacies and cooked them in different ways every day for Daiyu to eat.

Daiyu didn't just eat and not work.She brought several cooks along with her, all of them were born with skills, they had a photographic memory, and they could reproduce the food they ate immediately.Daiyu is in charge of food tasting every day, choosing those that are suitable for the taste of the Central Plains and the ingredients are easy to get, so that the cooks can learn from them.He also invited famous chefs from all over the world to compete with the chefs under his command.After more than half a month, I moved all the famous Nanyang dishes into my mansion.

On the way to drink, Qianxiang Country is like spring all year round, and the weather is hot and dry all year round. It is easy to move and sweat all over the body. Everyone needs to drink water anytime and anywhere.Over time, clear water or fruit juice could not satisfy people's needs, and gradually, various fruit wines and rice wines emerged.Later, due to the sea trade route, there were all kinds of white wine, rice wine and wine-making skills from the Central Plains, which enriched the wine varieties of Qianxiang Country.

Daiyu is not a fairy of wine, but Yongyu is proficient in this way.Especially for fruit wine, the sweetness is the most important, and the least intoxicating.Yongyu, who claims to never get drunk after a thousand cups, has become a real wine drinker who doesn't know what it's like to be drunk.

And Yongyu likes to take Daiyu to drink.Because whenever Daiyu is slightly drunk, it is also the time when she is the most courageous, she may draw her sword and dance for a while, or she will take the initiative to send her to Yongyu's door and play a play of Chanjuan.

At this time, Grandpa Yong always had a look of drunken enjoyment, lying flat and letting himself be teased!

Asparagus, who was driven to serve far away, couldn't help but feel sad for the face of Xiaoyao Wangfu, and shed tears of sympathy for the glory of their old Meng family ancestors.

After drinking for a long time, Yong Yu observed the way out.There is a kind of passion wine, which is sweet and sour, very appetizing, with a lingering aroma and low stamina, especially suitable for ladies in boudoirs to drink during banquets.And it is especially suitable for Daiyu's taste, and Daiyu often drinks more.Yongyu went to Manna to find out the ratio and preparation method of this wine, and ordered Wenzhu to learn it.

Poor asparagus, since then he has spent all day in the winery learning how to make wine.But he didn't know that his prince had already learned how to brew, and he took the beauty to brew a lot of fine wine in the winery next door.

And when it comes to playing, how can a woman trapped in a boudoir be reluctant to take advantage of the opportunity to roam freely?For that Huludao alone, Daiyu and Yongyu have gone there by boat at least ten times.

Every time I go, there are new discoveries.

First there was the thick layer of mirage, but for some reason, when Daiyu and the others went there for the second time, the mirage became much smaller, passing through it, it was no longer invisible.

Therefore, Daiyu and Yongyu finally saw the source of the mirage.It turned out that many unnamed sea creatures secretly put their heads out of the water, and the breath produced by exhaling and exhaling, became one piece, and turned into a mirage that obscured people's eyes!

However, when Daiyu's boat passed by, the creatures in the sea retreated one after another, giving way to a sea route that went straight to Huludao.

After they went, the sea road was once again mixed into the thick fog, and they could no longer be found.

As for the clam spirits drying their shells on the beach, Daiyu had already ordered that they were not allowed to pick pearls.No one disturbed them, they were still freely absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, showing off their fat and scars.

Accompanied by Yongyu, Daiyu gradually found a way to enter the hinterland of the island.

Walking through the dense forest on the outskirts, the more you walk towards the center of the island, the higher the road surface will be, spiraling up, gradually becoming like climbing a mountain.And the surrounding scenery is also different.

In addition to the unique coconut groves and fruit trees on the island, there are also tree species similar to the trees in the Central Plains along the way.As the terrain rose, Daiyu even saw maple leaves in the forest.It's just that, no matter what, the top of the mountain and the highest point of the island have never been covered with snow.

Due to the ups and downs of the mountains and the rain on the sea, various waterfalls and deep pools can be seen everywhere on Hulu Island, reflecting the mountains and waters, forming a heaven and earth respectively. It can be said that one flower, one world, one leaf, one bodhi.

Among them, beside a waterfall, there happened to be an ancient banyan tree that spanned several miles, and its roots were coiled, and one tree became a forest.

That day, Yongyu and Daiyu were lingering on the island. Just as they walked to the edge of the waterfall, suddenly there was a heavy rain in the mountains.The two had nowhere to hide, their clothes were immediately wet, and they hid under the big banyan tree when they were in a panic.

It was like entering another world.

The rain curtain is like a waterfall outside, but there is only a breeze blowing inside.Daiyu was curious, so she took a step outside, just when a gust of wind blew past, rolled up the rain curtain and wet half of her clothes.

Yongyu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he hurriedly pulled her back, held her in his arms and helped her wipe off her wet hair.

Later, the two simply found a big rock under the big tree, and made a fire with dead branches. While drying clothes, they sat and waited for the rain to stop.

At this time, Daiyu said quietly: "Buddha's saying goes: A moment of youth is an instant of eternity. So, do we have grown old together?"

Yongyu raised his hand to pick off the dead leaves that flew onto Daiyu's green silk, held it up to her eyes, and said with a smile: "Where is the white head, it is clearly the yellow head."

Daiyu refused, and raised her hand to beat him.

Yongyu grabbed Daiyu's catkin, pressed it to his heart, and said softly: "Don't count it as gray hair, I don't want to grow old. Gray hair is too fast, and the days of hand in hand will be shortened. If I can't live two hundred years longer, wouldn't I be too happy?" deficit?"

"One hundred years old is terrible, and two hundred years old! Who wants to spend two lifetimes with you?" Daiyu puffed her mouth, and said stubbornly.

I don't know if it was caused by the fire, but in Yongyu's eyes, Daiyu's lips are shining brightly at this moment, as if they have life, shouting, clamoring for him to kiss, to kiss...

The kind-hearted rogue prince really kissed her...

Later, when the rain subsided and Wenzhu, Xueyan and others found them, Daiyu's body had softened into a puddle of mud, and Yongyu wrapped her in a cloak.Only the small face that is as bright as haze and the pair of passionate eyes that look forward to the appearance but are guilty of guilt are revealed.

But pleasure and gambling, needless to say, are both erotic tricks and fun-seeking things.Food and sex, sex also.

Daiyu and Yongyu were very caring, and unanimously recommended Asparagus and Xueyan as their representatives, and took a good look around the fireworks and willow alleys, Lefang gambling halls in Qianxiang Kingdom and several small countries around it... through.

In just three months, Yongyu and Daiyu have already become the geography masters of Nanyang. Apart from not being able to speak the local dialect, they are already familiar with other things by heart.

So much so that on the day of the Saizhen Fighting Treasures Conference, Daiyu, Yongyu, Manna and others sat together on the seat of Qianxiang Guodoubao.

Daiyu looked at the various treasures of the past displayed like flowing water in front of her eyes, but none of them moved her heart.

The half-person-high coral tree, the wild "mermaid", the ten-thousand-year-old pearl, the formed Polygonum multiflorum, wild ginseng, and even a piece of crystal-clear ice jade mirror that surpassed the bright moon in the sky didn't make Daiyu look sideways.

Sitting next to Daiyu, Manna listened to the singing of various treasures from outside, seeing Daiyu's indifferent expression, she was both excited and apprehensive.

What is exciting is that since Daiyu is so calm, the treasures she presented must be able to outshine all other treasures and help her win the leader of the Saizhen Treasure Fighting Conference in one fell swoop.

What is disturbing is that since there are so many rare treasures that cannot make Daiyu change color, if the treasure she took out is too precious, she can't eat it at all, or if she can't come up with an even more amazing one next year, I don't think so. Next, what should I do?

Just as Manna was restless, the person who presided over the competition outside finally called out: "Please ask Qian Xiangguo to present the treasure of this year's Saizhen Doubao."

Manna heard the sound and went to look at Daiyu.

Daiyu chuckled and lowered her head, took a sip of the passion wine in her glass, and nodded at Yongyu.

Manna hurriedly turned her head to look at Yongyu.

As soon as Yongyu clapped his hands, a young servant brought over a sculpture of human height covered with a red cloth.

"This is?" Manna asked suspiciously.

Daiyu blinked, and said with a sly smile, "Sister, don't worry, I'll find out soon."

The boys carried the sculpture-like thing out.

Many kings, noble relatives, gentry, and wealthy households sitting outside saw such a humanoid sculpture, thinking it was just a Guanyin statue of Hetian jade or the elaborate work of a skilled craftsman.

However, when the layer of red cloth was removed, everyone present and even Manna herself were so stunned by the jewels that they couldn't help closing their eyes.

"Ah, what is this?"

"Okay, it looks like a string of pearls?"

"No, it's not just Nanzhu, this is, this is..."

Asparagus took a step forward, and said in a clear voice: "The treasure of Qianxiang Kingdom's competition - a piece of golden thread beaded garment." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to support the sculpture.

Unexpectedly, the "sculpture" who had taken off the red cloth suddenly moved.

It turned out that the so-called sculpture was nothing more than a young girl wearing a mask and wearing a golden gown.

Following the girl's walking posture, the beaded gown strung together with south beads, the brilliance flowed, and the mist was lingering. Thousands of clouds and vast mirages appeared above the buildings and flat land.

Everyone here seemed to be bewitched, and all kinds of illusions appeared in front of their eyes.

The title of the gold list, the size of the bridal chamber and the entrance to the imperial examination; the fame of being famous all over the world and the success of a wealthy party;

All kinds of things are long-cherished wishes and thoughts deep in my heart, and they are all realized one by one in the pearly mirage.

"Now that Nanyang is unified and all the people are united, I am no longer the barbarian and small people of the past. I think that the Central Plains is prosperous and peaceful, and the country is prosperous and the people are strong. This should be my example for Qianxiang. Pass on my will—" Manna also said Bewildered by the mirage of the Nanzhu produced by those clam essences, she couldn't help but see the scene of her dominating the Nanyang countries, ordering the world to obey, and ordering to learn Chinese and Confucianism.

Yi Na was also at the side. Hearing Manna's words getting more and more outrageous, she hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Sister, sister, wake up! Wake up!"

It took a long while before Manna woke up from her sweet dream, and she saw the secretive smiles of Daiyu and Yongyu in front of her.

Thinking of the scene in the dream and the words she couldn't help blurting out, Manna blushed suddenly, stood up abruptly, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to slip in.

Daiyu was considerate and didn't think there was anything wrong with Manna's ambition, so she raised her hand and pulled her to sit down, she didn't mention Manna's dream, she just pointed at the dreaming people outside and laughed: "I didn't expect this mirage to be so powerful! Sister, let's see, this year's Dou Bao Kui Xing is naturally Qianxiang Country."

Manna followed and looked around, only to see that the outside room had become a mess.Whether it is the king, the rich, the common people, or the servants, they are all fascinated by the mirage, indulging in dreams, and everyone is happy.Everyone held wine glasses, jugs, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc., and regarded them as the most desired things in their hearts and dreams, or embraced the strangers around them as the beauties they missed day and night, expressing their hearts and expressing their heartfelt feelings.

Huang Liang can't wake up from the dream, and can no longer tell whether it is illusion or reality.

Seeing that chaos was about to break out, Yongyu raised his hand and snapped his fingers.In the outer room, Wenzhu got the order, and immediately stopped the girl who was dancing, stepped forward quickly, waved the red cloth, and covered the girl with the beaded dress again.

Huaguang suddenly disappeared, and even the misty mirage seemed to dissipate.

Just like that, after about a cup of tea, everyone in the lobby woke up one after another.

Among them are some businessmen who specialize in the jewelry business. They have seen the power of mirage in the sea all the year round, and they recognize that each pearl on the golden thread pearl dress displayed by Qian Xiangguo must be taken from the deep sea clam essence.And absorb enough sun and moon essence to have such a charming power.

The jewelers knew well that this was the birth of a rare and rare treasure, and all of them were overjoyed. Regardless of the rules of the Saizhen Treasure Fighting Conference, they rushed forward to discuss the purchase with asparagus bamboo or barter for it. This witch hazel bead dress.

Of course asparagus is not for sale.

This beaded dress was made by Yongyu after a lot of effort to imitate the ancient jade dress with golden thread, and it was given to Daiyu.This experience was only lent to Manna as a treasure of Qianxiang Kingdom to help her win the leader of the competition.

In order to collect these Nanzhu, Wenzhu and the others did not spend much time.Asparagus alone squats on Huludao day and night, even hides in the shells of dead mussel essences, mixes with the group of mussel essences that are sun-dried, and finally collects the excess pearls in the bodies of the mussel essences.

Xueyan led people to carefully select these pearls of the same size, crystal clear and shrouded in mirage, and handed them over to the embroiderers of the Lin family. They worked day and night according to the golden thread beads garment pattern drawn by Yongyu, and finally they were in the competition. The tailoring was successful before the Zhen Dou Bao Conference.

Because the beaded gown was so beautiful, Daiyu was going to wear it herself.But Yong Yu stopped him.

Yongyu's reasons are also very good.

"If you were to wear this outfit, sister, the contestants would definitely not accept it." Yong Yu disagreed.

"But why?" Daiyu asked in confusion.

Yongyu shook his head and said: "Even if we win the leader at that time, others will definitely say that it's not that the clothes are unparalleled in the world, but that the person wearing this clothes is so beautiful that there is no other in the world."

"Pfft!" Asparagus couldn't bear it any longer, and snickered.

But Daiyu and Yongyu received two sharp gazes.

"Why, Wenzhu, do you think I can't be praised by your lord?" the quasi-princess Daiyu narrowed her eyes, staring at Wenzhu and asked.

Wenzhu's forehead was covered with cold sweat immediately, and he looked at Yongyu for help.Unexpectedly, the unconscionable prince of his family was looking at him with his arms folded and disgusted.

Wenzhu knew that he was in trouble, so he waved his hands in a hurry and said: "No, no, slave, I dare not. This slave is definitely not laughing at Miss Lin, but, it is laughing——"

"Could it be that you are laughing at me?" Yongyu stretched out a finger, pointed at the tip of his nose, interjected in disbelief.

asparagus:……

Wenzhu grabbed Xueyan who was standing by and watched the show for a long time, and begged for mercy: "Sister Xueyan, help me!"

"Pfft!" But Daiyu, Yongyu and Xueyan laughed together.

In the end, several people agreed to find a woman who is good at dancing and wear a mask to appear on stage.And it must be covered with a red cloth, so that no news can be leaked in advance.Only then did the blockbuster and fame at the Sai Zhen Fighting Treasure Conference come about!

Unsurprisingly, Qian Xiang Guo won the leader of this competition again after a long absence.Although Daiyu didn't fancy any special treasures, she also gained a lot.

After all, Manna knew how to be a human being. After winning the first prize, the first thing she did was to spread the word that the gold-thread bead dress was a treasure from Qianxiang Country and made by someone from the Lin family shop.

Upon hearing the news, businessmen, wealthy households and even kings who were jealous of the pearls and clothes, begged Lin Miao one after another.

Not to mention that Lin Miao and the steward of the Kui family took advantage of the opportunity of the Treasure Fighting Conference to build bridges with many famous businessmen in Nanyang.

As for the gold thread beaded dress that Daiyu took out, the group of unprofitable businessmen also believed that the Lin family's fleet was rich in financial resources and rich in family background, and they could deal with it the most!

The so-called Nanyang trade route is easy to talk about.

The Saizhen Fighting Treasure Conference was successfully concluded, and Daiyu and Yongyu finished the last "business" and cleared everything up.The two of them were about to leave Qianxiang Country, go out to sea and go shopping around, but before they decided where to go, they suddenly received a letter from the capital.

But it was written by Lin Ruhai himself.The letter was vague, it only said that there was an urgent matter and asked them to return to Beijing immediately.

The author has something to say: Returning to Beijing is a good thing, don't worry!

I have prepared several extras, all of which are interesting details that the main text did not have time to write, and now I am gearing up to write extras!
