That night.
Fang Zhengyi returned to the princess's mansion under the moonlight.
The prince was extremely interested in those foreigners in strange costumes and insisted on chatting with them for several hours.
Finally the day was over and the sky had plunged into complete darkness.
When Fang Zhengyi returned to the princess's mansion, Lai Gouer was still waiting for him there.
When he saw Fang Zheng coming home, Lai Gou'er immediately responded, "Brother, why did you come back just now?"
"There are a lot of things to do in the palace. You should stay here recently. I will take you out to buy a house and set up some business tomorrow."
Fang Zhengyi sat down at the dining table as he spoke. There was food on the table that was still steaming, and it looked like it had been reheated several times.
There are not so many old rules in the princess's mansion. If he comes home late, the others will eat first and then go about their own business. What's more, Li Miaohan is in charge of the household.
But I always leave a portion of food for him.
Fang Zheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and when he saw another set of bowl and chopsticks, he asked, "Have you eaten? If you haven't, have some."
Lai Gou'er smiled shyly: "I didn't dare to eat because I saw the princess...I am indeed a little hungry."
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Don't be polite, please sit down."
Lai Gou'er sat down, looked around, and whispered, "Brother, I saw the eldest and second daughters of the Chu family having dinner with the princess at night... What's going on with you now?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled proudly: "Of course we are all family."
Lai Gou'er stared in disbelief and asked, "How did you marry her?"
"I haven't married yet, but it's just a matter of time." Fang Zhengyi suddenly lost his appetite when he mentioned this.
It was originally agreed that a girls' school would be opened and both girls would agree to marry him.
Who would have thought that when Chu Youyi saw the hairpin she had given to her on another woman's head, she cried and said she would not marry anymore and insisted on going home. (Chapter 546)
It took a while to calm him down, but he still had a stern face the whole day.
Chu Qinghan's side was also delayed.
He has customized the uniforms for Tifa and Kamisato Ayaka!

Now the meat is at my mouth but I can't eat it, I have to think of a way to coax it...
"Don't talk about my business. Go back to Beijing now and prepare to do something. Find a woman and stay in Beijing."
Lai Gou'er asked, "Is it possible that my Dajing fleet will no longer go out to sea?"
Fang Zheng frowned: "What do you mean, you still want to go out?"
"Of course, a good man has ambitions to travel far and wide. Brother, I feel that I get a much greater sense of accomplishment outside than in Dajing. I can see many things I have never seen before and broaden my horizons. What's more, I haven't yet gone deep into the West, so I always feel unwilling to give up." Lai Gou'er said regretfully.
I didn't expect that our little brother has such ambition. He has great potential and is getting stronger and stronger.
Fang Zheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed, "Okay, you're more promising than me. But you can't go out to sea again for at least half a year. The old sailors have been gone for so long, they may have some mental problems and need time to recover. In addition, it takes time to recruit, screen and train newcomers. Don't worry about these things for now."
"Why don't you just have some fun and take a walk in the capital. The capital has changed a lot over the years."
Lai Gou'er thought: "Brother, to be honest, I can't sit still right now. Why don't you find me something to do?"
Find something to do...
Fang Zheng suddenly had an idea and said, "Is there really something suitable for you to do?"
"What's the matter?" Lai Gou'er asked excitedly.
"The envoys from the twenty-three countries have never had any contact with me, Da Jing. For future cooperation, you should go to the Honglu Temple to teach them the language. First, you are proficient in Spanish, and second, you are familiar with them. No one is more suitable for this than you. Can you teach them the basic communication in life in three months?"
Lai Gou'er thought for a moment and said, "I am fluent in Spanish, but Xiao Shuai and his friends taught me. People from the twenty-three countries speak different languages."
"However, they are all smart people. I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee it."
Fang Zheng smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "It's okay. We have the language environment here. I'll make arrangements with the Honglu Temple, and I can help you find the manpower. I believe in your ability. In addition, you are also responsible for keeping an eye on the missionaries in Feika. They are different from the diplomatic missions and are somewhat hostile to us. Keep an eye on them and don't let them leave their residence. I will personally train them later."
"Alright, I'll do whatever Big Brother tells me to do."
"Be brave and do it. I'll take responsibility for you if anything goes wrong. By the way, what interesting things did you bring back from this voyage?" Fang Zheng asked.
Lai Gou'er blurted out: "There is something very popular in the West, a very bitter drink that the Feka people often drink. What is it called..."
"coffee?"
"Brother, you know this too?" Lai Gouer was surprised.
Big brother knew about chocolate when he was in Dajing, but he didn’t expect he knew about coffee too?
“We actually have this thing in Dajing too. My dad grew coffee when he was young. He was a coffee farmer! But because there was no market, my family’s coffee fields declined, and later on, they were lost in Dajing.” Fang Zheng made up the story fluently.
Lai Gou'er said admiringly: "My Dajing is still a vast land with abundant resources! Brother, someone in the fleet wants to drink it to refresh themselves. We have also brought back the seeds. If you want to drink it, I will ask someone to bring some over."
Fang Zheng waved his hand and said, "No, that stuff tastes worse than urine. My Dajing stomach can't handle foreign drinks. But the fact that Westerners like to drink it shows that there is a market for it. It's addictive like tea and will be a highly profitable commodity. In the future, I can grow it myself and then build a good brand to sell to foreigners."
"Hiss... that's a foreign product, can we sell it? Besides, it's not grown locally now, they are more professional than us."
