The negotiation delegation came to a long and arduous conclusion. After four or five documents were signed, except for the gloomy Japanese, the whole Wei Dynasty was in a flourishing, peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
With one crippled hand, Qiao Hui took Xianjin, Hengxi and Li Sanshun out to sea, under the pretext of "experiencing the customs of Southeast Asia and feeling life at sea".
It’s very similar to the slogan of Sunset Red Travel Group.
The itinerary is also very sunset.
At 6am, before the roosters even woke up, we went out to sea. We visited three sea routes and a small island in one day, and we also arranged to go fishing in the evening. We were sent back to the official post at midnight and continued fishing the next day. We got up even earlier the next day, at 5am, to go to the market. There were sea breams longer than our forearms, clams bigger than our palms, and many shellfish and snails we had never seen before. Then we worshipped Mazu, drank tea, and listened to Min opera and Liyuan opera...
The three-day trip was fully packed.
Hengxi is dying.
She was seasick to begin with, and when she catapulted to change sea routes on the first day, it had already drained away all her energy after work.
In the next two days, Hengxi followed weakly with dark circles under his eyes.
Xianjin asked her to go back to the official inn to rest.
Hengxi's exhalation is longer than his inhalation, "I'm already here."
Xianjin laughed: “Hahahaha”.
After three days, Li Sanshun was in high spirits and energetic. His skin color had become similar to that of the locals. He licked his lips and said, "Can I not go back? It's really hard to fish in Xuancheng. At best, you can catch a few crucian carps with many small bones. There are so many fish here that you can kill three fish if you throw a stone into the sea."
Xianjin nodded, "Okay. I will give the title of the best craftsman in Xuancheng Paper Industry Chamber of Commerce to Lord Gou."
Li Sanshun was furious, "Bullshit! He still has a lot to learn! Doesn't he feel guilty for giving him the title of 'No. 1'?!"
Tsk tsk tsk.
As long as the fisherman fails to give up his worldly desires, he will not be able to catch the big fish that will bring honor to his family.
The night before departure, Princess Bai'an held a banquet on her treasure ship. Perhaps because Xuan paper had made another contribution, Xianjin did not sit at the end of the table, but at the third table from the number, sandwiched between a group of old men in crimson official robes, like a skinny dung beetle that had fallen into a vat of red dye.
The old men were all drinking, and Xianjin took advantage of the chaos to eat a lot of food.
An old man with an indigo sachet tied to his official uniform belt asked Xianjin tremblingly, "Which prince's little princess sneaked out to play?"
Xianjin hurriedly helped the old man hold the cup, fearing that his hand would shake and the wine would spill onto her cockroach shell.
Xianjin shook his head.
"Which eldest princess's daughter is it?"
Xianjin shook his head.
"Which little county lady is that? Little noble lady? Little...?"
Xianjin pursed his lips.
Uncle, she is already 21 years old. She is a mature woman with long arms and legs, tall stature, mature facial features, and clothes that match the environment. Even in later generations, this age cannot be called "little XX", right?
Men, no matter how old they are, always like to prefix women's names with "little" such as "little wife", "little pumpkin" or "little sister".
Why?
Because the corresponding word for "small" is "big", and the corresponding word for woman is man.
Xian Jinjun shook his head, but couldn't bear to see the old man thinking so hard that he couldn't sleep at night, so he said kindly, "Others call me President He."
The old man frowned even more tightly, thinking hard.
"President"?
Is this some new title for the royal family? It sounds like it is higher than the title of county princess or princess.
After Xianjin had finished fooling the old man, he turned his head and saw Princess Bai'an raising her glass to toast at the main table, "General Ashikaga, you must firmly grasp the power of the Japanese court - after the 20-year contract expires, I hope you will still go to Wei to renew it."
Princess Bai'an had a smug smile on her face, with a sense of satisfaction that all her desires were satisfied. "By then, we won't be in Fujian anymore. You, Japan, Goguryeo, Java, Ryukyu - all of you, come to the capital to pay homage!"
This was the first time Xianjin heard Princess Bai'an bragging.
No, it can't be called bragging.
It's called Outlook.
Xianjin looked at her with burning eyes. Princess Bai'an was sitting in the center of the round table. The candlelight was like a gorgeous silk halo covering Princess Bai'an's bright and graceful face, as if she was hidden behind a huge and luxurious golden veil.
I admire her so much.
Xianjin felt that she was very happy and lucky. If the Grand Princess had not been in power at that time, she would not have had the opportunity to sit among these "big" men in crimson robes.
She will only become a "little girl" or "Xiao He", and if she is unlucky, she may become a "concubine".
The pioneers cast stones and knock on the road with yearning, and the latecomers climb up and look far into the distance and enjoy a good time.
The next morning, the negotiation delegation set off from Jian'an Sea Road to the mouth of the Minjiang River, then entered the Minjiang waterway and reached the inland.
Before stopping at the port of Yingtianfu, Princess Bai'an summoned her on board for questioning.
"Ten knives of water corrugated paper, when can it be ready?"
First, a special bamboo screen is needed. The paper pulp can be mixed and used, but the paper-making technique requires the use of three-layer sandwiched rice paper. The light and dark patterns are hidden in the paper, and the numbers can even be sandwiched into the three-layer rice paper using the silk engraving technique. These are the results of the discussion between Xianjin and Li Sanshun at Qiao Hui's place.
Xian Jin chose his words carefully, "It can be as long as three to five months, or as short as one to two months, depending on the coordination of the master."
Princess Bai'an smiled and said to Qiao Hui, "This girl has learned a lot of politicians' habits after going out for a while."
Never make a final statement, let alone agree on a time.
Xianjin's face turned red from his chin to the top of his head. "The masters are all very cooperative. Three months won't be a problem."
