Chapter 66 Foreign Caravan
She squatted down and put her hands on Wangcai's hind legs. Perhaps even the dog himself didn't notice that it was shivering slightly.
Cui Qingyi immediately softened her heart. She had never thought carefully about how the big dog with a broken leg broke free from the rope and how it found Huaihua Lane dragging its broken leg.
Everything seems to be able to be explained by the saying that everything is God's will.
But Cui Qingyi felt that she could not even imagine how much perseverance the dog had relied on to persevere in this destiny.
The journey from the Mule Market to Huaihua Lane by this lame dog was like a delicious meal delivered to the door. No one could imagine how many dangers it encountered.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid Wangcai, I will protect you from now on."
Cui Qingyi will never forget that Wangcai once overcame his fear of the world outside and rushed out to protect her when she was in danger.
So she will protect Wangcai from harm as if he were a real family member.
With Cui Qingyi's patient comfort, Wangcai gradually stopped shaking, raised his head and licked Cui Qingyi's hand with his wet tongue.
Cui Qingyi originally wanted to give up today's training. Since it didn't want to go out, it would just stay at home. As long as it was happy, that was all that mattered.
Just as she reached out to take off the harness and leash from Wangcai, the big black dog shook its ears and slowly stood up.
Then Wangcai stuck his nose out in a particularly sneaky manner that Cui Qingyi thought was doggy.
Cui Qingyi's mouth twitched. It was obviously a handsome big dog, why did it always have to look so stupid?
It's just unbearable to watch.
Wangcai's nose twitched a few times, as if he was sure that there was no dangerous aura outside as he expected. The dog straightened his back and tentatively stepped out with his front paws.
When the front half of his body was outside the door, Gou Zi turned around and gestured to Cui Qingyi twice. His eyes seemed to be saying, why don’t you leave?
Cui Qingyi...
Cui Qingyi grabbed the leash, and Wangcai immediately followed closely.
The man and the dog just walked back and forth in the alley and then returned home.
Although Wangcai walked out bravely, Cui Qingyi could feel that he was still quite nervous.
So I started by keeping him close to home, walking a little further every day until Wangcai got used to walking among the crowd.
Before the girls' school officially opened, a merchant ship arrived at the bay dock in Dongping County, which was said to be driven by a blond-haired, blue-eyed man.
Li Miao's father worked at the Bay Wharf. When he came back, he told his two children about this incident as if it were a curiosity.
When he came to Cui's house the next day, Li Miao told this story to Konjac and Cui Qingyi as if it were a strange thing.
“My dad said those people looked very strange, with red and blond hair, high noses and even blue eyes.
Some of those strange people could speak the official language of the Great Jin Dynasty. They said they wanted to set up stalls and sell goods in our market.
However, the county government had already sent people to guard these strange guys and their merchant ships.
I wanted to see what people with blond hair looked like, but my dad wouldn’t let my brother and I go to the Bayfront Pier.”
There was a lot of regret in Li Miao's words. She really wanted to see what a blond-haired, blue-eyed person looked like. Would it be scary?
Cui Qingyi, ahhh, she wants to go too.
For no other reason than to see what good things these foreigners had in their merchant ships.
Are there any dioramas, are there any clocks, and most importantly, are there any chili seeds?
Cui Qingyi starts to drool whenever she thinks of chili peppers.
Woohoo! She was almost dying of greed. She didn't know how the county government would deal with these foreigners who suddenly appeared.
County Government Office
The captain of the foreign merchant ship was taken to the yamen by a team of yamen runners.
Although they were also curious about the fact that there were people who looked like this in the world, years of training had made them show no flaws on their faces. They were as calm as if blond-haired and blue-eyed people were so common in Dajin.
Captain Fili, who was brought here, sighed in his heart, it was just as Earl Kil said.
The Great Jin Dynasty was a great country with a vast territory and its people were well-informed.
You have to know that their merchant ships traveled along the ocean and encountered several small countries along the way. The people there almost arrested them as devils.
If some of them were not students of Earl Kil and had some understanding of Eastern culture, they would probably have been burned to death.
Fortunately, despite the many dangers along the way, they finally arrived in China.
And the officials here don't seem to be very averse to doing business with them.
Of course Zhou Yanxiu didn't mind.
He was born into a noble family in the capital, so naturally he had the ability to access things that ordinary people could not.
The Emperor of our dynasty has been working hard to govern the country. More than ten years ago, he sent people to explore the neighboring countries along land and sea routes.
Some of these people only left the territory of Dajin and returned due to various force majeure; some went all the way north and reached the grassland, but because they were unfamiliar with the conditions of the grassland, they got lost in it and after a few months they had no energy to continue running.
Some would set out from the waters of Dajin, sail along the sea, and return after a month or two. Of course, there were also those who lost contact since their departure, and their life or death has been unknown since then.
But all this is enough to illustrate one fact: Dajin is not completely ignorant of the outside world.
So although Zhou Yanxiu was surprised by the sudden arrival of this group of foreigners, he was not panicked.
But when he really saw the blond-haired and blue-eyed person, Zhou Yanxiu still looked at him several more times.
Philip placed his left and right hands on his chest and bowed to Zhou Yanxiu.
"Dear Sir, hello, I am Philly from the British Empire. I have sailed across the ocean with my merchant ship, hoping to establish friendly cooperation with the Celestial Empire.
This is our country's letter of credence, please have a look."
Philip's official language was very good, so good that Zhou Yanxiu was a little shocked. It also confirmed an idea for him that there must be an envoy sent by the Great Jin in this so-called Britain. He just didn't know for what reason this person had never reported his whereabouts to the Great Jin.
Zhou Yanxiu had several thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show them.
"Emissary Fili, our Celestial Empire welcomes guests from afar.
After confirming that the letter is correct, I will send someone to deliver it to His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty.
At that time, the envoy can bring the caravan to our capital to pay homage.
As for doing business within our territory, as long as you and your caravan abide by our laws, I welcome you."
After hearing what Zhou Yanxiu said, Philip danced with joy. He didn't expect things to be so easy. He thought they would be locked up in prison and tortured, or maybe they would be kicked out directly.
Zhou Yanxiu sent a team to protect and assist Phil's caravan and set aside a section of the dock to trade with the people of Dongping County.
Cui Qingyi was looking forward to it and rushed out as soon as she got the news.
(I always thought that the lesson of life and death was still a long way off.)
