After hanging out in Guangzhou for a few days, Jia Cong and a group of people boarded the ship and returned to Dajiara. Just as they sat down and didn't have time to drink tea, someone came in with a message - Zhou Xiaolan, the leader of the Kingdom of Java, arrived at the post house two days ago. Jia Cong, Chen Ruijin and Chen Ruijin exchanged messages with each other.
He glanced at him and stood up at the same time: "Where is he?"
Before seeing Zhou Xiaolan, Jia Cong was mentally prepared: 80% of him would not be able to recognize him. Just one glance into the main room of the post house, and he knew that 80% had to be changed to 100%. The appearance did not change much, it was just a bit darker, I think.
He was exposed during those days when he was a pirate. His demeanor has completely changed. He is sitting upright in the hall, looking into a pair of bright eyes, and there is really an aura with the smell of blood that hits his face.
Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Your Majesty, you are well."
Zhou Xiaolan stood up with a smile: "Boy, long time no see."
Chen Ruijin said with emotion: "I don't dare to admit it." The two of them sat down at the guest seats.
Zhou Xiaolan ordered people to serve tea, and Fang told her: "I heard that our ambassador said that you are getting married. I thought that I was a little worried after not seeing each other for many years, so I came over. Your place has become very powerful, and it is very different from before."
Jia Cong said: "We have a slogan, which changes every year and changes drastically in three years..."
Chen Ruijin coughed twice and muttered in a low voice: "Go back to the government building with all this official talk."
Jia Cong shrank his neck: "It's just a smooth saying." Nai smiled and said, "Uncle Junior has only been here for two days, and I think he still hasn't visited many places. Shall we go shopping with you tomorrow?"
Zhou Xiaolan said with a smile: "You are a very busy person, you don't have time anywhere."
Jia Cong said: "Uncle Junior is an elder and must be free."
Chen Ruijin said: "You go about your business, I will go shopping with my junior uncle."
Zhou Xiaolan thought for a moment and said, "There are some places where I don't know if it's convenient to see them."
Jia Cong said: "For example?"
"Starfleet Academy."
Jia Cong said: "Not all research institutes can be visited. Some places are top secret. Please forgive me, junior uncle."
Zhou Xiaolan said: "I know. I just want to see how your research institute works and how you can make such novel and useful things."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's just concentration. It would be best if my uncle wants to encourage science in Java."
Zhou Xiaolan nodded and said, "Huo Sheng will also be here in the next two days."
Jia Cong asked curiously: "Didn't he go to Australia?"
"I have returned to Qiongzhou and am busy looking for immigrants."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "If water-soluble ones come too, we can set up an apec."
"What is apec?"
"Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation can promote trade liberalization in the Asia-Pacific region, mobilize technical talent resources, and let everyone develop together, wouldn't it be good?"
Zhou Xiaolan asked Chen Ruijin: "What did he say?"
Chen Ruijin said: "It probably means forming an alliance."
Jia Cong nodded repeatedly and shook his head: "It's not an alliance, it's cooperation, studying some tariffs, exchange rates, standardization and the like. Coincidentally, Situ Cen is also here, he can represent the colonies of Shu; Wei Ruoheng is
He is from the Wu State, and he has some say in Japan's affairs." His eyes moved, "Yes! APEC can be established! Forget it this time, let's do it next time. Next time I will post and invite you to come."
Chen Ruijin said: "Since we have gathered these people by chance, why not take advantage of the situation?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "Getting married is a very personal matter, and I don't want to get involved with politics and economics."
Zhou Xiaolan looked at Chen Ruijin and said with a smile: "It's just that he is different from ordinary people." Chen Ruijin lowered his eyebrows and smiled.
But at this moment someone came in to reply - Lord Dacheng's boat, Shui Rong, had docked at Tamsui Port in the morning and was on his way to Dajiala. Jia Cong clapped his hands: "It's really here!"
Zhou Xiaolan looked at Chen Ruijin and said: "In that case, Mr. Jia will go to greet His Majesty Dacheng first, and Ruijin will accompany me." Jia Cong looked at Chen Ruijin and nodded, thinking that they were both women and knew each other from childhood.
There was a lot to talk about, and Shui Rong and I hadn't seen each other for many years, so we got up and left.
After leaving the gate of the post house, Jia Cong thought for a moment that an old fox like Shui Rong would have to find Jia Lian to deal with. So he first went to the magistrate's office and took Jia Lian behind to change clothes. The two brothers came together to greet Shui Rong.
It was newly built. It does not have a city gate in the traditional sense, but there is a large square on the road leading to Tamsui Port in the north of the city. This place was built by Jia Congming after imitating the squares of later generations, with lawns and sculpture fountains. The sculptures are
The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals with human bodies and animal heads in later generations in the Yuanmingyuan, but they did not have any trick of regularly spraying water.
After waiting for half an hour, Shuixun's carriage came over. The carriage he was riding in was not the four-wheeled carriage commonly used to carry passengers in Tamsui Port, but the carriage he brought from Dacheng Pass. It was brilliantly embroidered. The top of the carriage was covered with golden embroidery.
In front of the dragon cover, there is a palace official holding a dragon banner, a phoenix feather, and a pheasant feather Kui head. In the back, there is a strong man holding a cranked Kowloon canopy umbrella. The horses pulling the cart must also be transported by ship. Sixteen horses pass through it.
The body is white as snow, with the head of a horse and the body of a dragon or a phoenix.
Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh, and said to Jia Lian: "This guy's aesthetics are a bit out of date. Situ Cen will definitely feel uncomfortable when he sees it later."
Jia Lian also said in a low voice: "This guy has the worst sense of price. He is a wealthy man, how can he compare to Huo Sheng."
The two brothers clapped their horses and approached. The carriage stopped slowly. The strong man holding the umbrella had already walked to the front. Two beautiful palace ladies reached out to lift the curtain with their slender hands, and a person came out. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon dress.
Wearing a robe with a beaded jade crown on his head, he was Shuirong, the former king of Beijing County. The strong man took two steps slowly and lifted Shuirong under the canopy.
Shui Rong smiled when he saw the two of them: "Master Jia, you are well here. Congratulations, Mr. Jia." The Jia brothers returned the gift. Jia Lian was wearing a half-worn magistrate's official robe, while Jia Cong was wearing a brand-new Confucian scholar's robe.
The two of them didn't even have any gold and jade objects on their bodies, and they were very pure and tight. Shui Rong looked behind them again and saw the big square. He was slightly shocked and praised, "It's so impressive! What is this for?"
Jia Lian said: "This is called the Zodiac Square, but it is used by ordinary people for leisure."
Jia Cong pointed out: "Here, there are those who fly kites, those who take care of children, those who sell snacks, and those who perform tricks."
Shui Rong nodded repeatedly: "You two brothers are really rare." He then asked, "Is the Lord Zhou here?"
"We arrived two days ago," Jia Cong said. "I don't know if I'm resting in the post house or going out for a stroll." Nai paused, "I heard that Huo Sheng will also come."
Shui Rong pointed at Jia Cong with a smile: "You kid, you don't have to tell me about such a big thing as getting married. I didn't even post a message, but you came uninvited."
Jia Cong said: "I didn't invite anyone, it was just a little fun at home. Brother Huan didn't even come. I don't know where you got the news. You are so well-informed."
Shui Rong laughed and said, "I heard this from Huo Sheng." Jia Cong said "Oh."
The three of them exchanged a few words with each other, then got into their cars and headed back to the center of Dajiala. The Dacheng envoy also had a posthouse in Dajiala, and the Jia brothers personally led the way and sent Shui Rong there.
Shui Rong got out of the car again and took a quick look around. He felt that his house was a bit out of place. This road was called Heping Road, which was very wide. There were large houses of different styles on both sides of the road. The houses elsewhere had some exotic styles and sober colors;
Only the Dacheng State Posthouse is modeled after the layout of a wealthy family in the capital, but much smaller. The vermilion door and the large piece of gilded glazed tiles on top were all bought from the capital. The offerings are painted in red and green, and the carvings are
The two large pillars at the door are painted with gold powder, and there are two big stone lions at the door, with red satin flowers tied around their necks. The most eye-catching thing is the wall. Along the way, the walls of other houses are all
It's clean and tidy, except for the red, green and yellow colors of my house.
Shui Rong looked at his post house and then at his neighbors. For no reason, he felt that his house was a bit weird and gaudy. He coughed and asked, "Mr. Jia, who owns all the houses on this street?"
Jia Lian said: "They are all various post houses." He pointed to the road diagonally opposite, "The one with the palm trees at the door is from Java." He pointed to the other end, "That is Huo Sheng's post house.
That’s from the Japanese Liu family, that’s from the Southeast Asian Malay Kingdom…”
Shui Rong asked: "Why are their houses built like that?"
Jia Cong said: "We all had the idea when these post houses were first built, in order to build them in different styles. Only your Majesty Dacheng's one was your country's own idea, and we did not interfere in the whole process."
Just at this time, he saw a large four-wheeled carriage coming out of the Java State Post House from a distance. Shui Rong stretched out his head to take a look. He saw two women coming out. Jia Cong quickly waved: "Ruijin~~ Lord Zhou
~~" The two women looked back. Jia Cong blew a kiss to Chen Ruijin, and Chen Zhou also waved.
Shui Rong was shocked: "Is that the king of Java?"
"Yeah." Jia Cong said, "They are probably going shopping."
Shui Rong took a closer look and immediately recognized who was Zhou Xiaolan - she had the bearing of a superior. However, this woman was only wearing a red sandalwood brocade robe, and she was not seen accompanied by her entourage. While she was talking, the two of them had already come up.
After getting out of the car, Shui Rong couldn't help but ask: "They just left like that? Aren't they following anyone?"
Jia Cong said: "It's so annoying for a girl to go shopping with a lot of servants. Besides, who can beat them two! If you meet a gangster, you can tell with your toes that it's the gangster who is more unlucky."
Shui Rong frowned slightly and asked after a while: "I heard that the Lord Zhou has not yet gotten married."
"Well...there is indeed no news of her getting married." Jia Cong turned to look at Jia Lian, "I haven't seen their ambassador very often. Is it because she's not getting married?"
Jia Lian said: "Although we haven't gotten married yet, I heard it will be soon."
Shui Rong's eyes twitched: "Who is that person?"
"A general who has been with her for many years. It's interesting to talk about it. His name is Ayan, I don't know his surname. He was an orphan and was sold on a ship when he was in his early tenth year. The owner's cargo ship encountered pirates, and the pirates saw that he was quite charming.
The strength was left. This Ayan started out as a small gangster and was already a small leader under the age of twenty. Then he followed Zhou Xiaolan's charge and killed countless Westerners at his hands, and now he is a Javanese general.
"
Jia Cong couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Wonderful! This person's experience can be written into a legend."
Shui Rong thought: "The Lord Zhou is actually willing to marry his subordinates? No way. Mr. Jia, is your news reliable?"
Jia Lian said: "She is already the head of a country, who else can she marry besides her subordinates?"
Jia Conghe said: "That's right. The whole of Java belongs to her, and no matter who she marries, she will be her subordinate."
Shui Rong smiled: "It makes sense."
Several people then entered the Dacheng Posthouse together. Because Shuirong was tired from traveling and traveling, it was inconvenient for the Jia brothers to stay longer, so they just chatted and left. Then they turned out of the intersection of Heping Road. Jia Lian laughed first: "Shui Rong, I can just dress up in Beijing."
, like a pheasant in Dajiala." Jia Cong laughed.
That night, Jia Lian hosted a banquet for Shui Rong, Zhou Xiaolan and others. At the banquet, Shui Rong asked Zhou Xiaolan why he was so plain. Zhou Xiaolan said: "Java is a big land and the people are not rich. It is not a time for extravagance." He also looked at the dragon robe on Shui Rong.
He glanced at it and said, "The outfit of Lord Shui is modeled after that of the Emperor of the Situ family, isn't it?"
Shui Rong said: "Didn't all the emperors of all dynasties dress like this?" Zhou Xiaolan pursed her lips and smiled.
Jia Cong leaned his head from the side and said, "But there is already someone in the capital wearing a dragon robe of your style. Your Dacheng Kingdom is Siam after all, so why don't you have some Siamese characteristics? Look at the national uniform of Lord Zhou, although
It's still my imperial attire, and the embroidered patterns are the cocoa trees and the sea. Lord of the Water Kingdom, you are dressed like this... I'll forgive my nephew, it looks like you're pretending to be on the stage." After saying that, he ran away with a cry. Zhou Xiaolan
He covered his mouth and smiled. Shui Rong was stunned. It wasn't until Jia Lian toasted to him that he raised his cup and drank it all.
Since Chen Ruijin stayed at the Java State Post House today, Jia Cong has not had a good conversation with her. They took advantage of this time to sneak outside to take a breather. Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "The little uncle stood at the door of the post house.
When he saw Shui Rong's posture, he said, 'It's a bluff, it wastes people and money,' and 'Dacheng Kingdom will not be able to survive in his hands.'"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "I have been a minister for many years, and I have just become addicted to being a king. I just think of it as sex. Besides, with white eyebrows and red eyes, he doesn't know what clothes the emperor should wear, so he just follows the pattern."
?" Chen Ruijin thought about his battle and laughed again.
Jia Cong then asked about Zhou Xiaolan's gossip. It turned out that the news Jia Lian got was true. Zhou Xiaolan really wanted to marry the general named Ayan, and planned to do so in April this year. Now Java is his supervising country. Jia Cong said hurriedly: "
I have to prepare some gifts for you." He asked again, "How are you, fat lady?"
"I was very obsessed with it at first, but I gradually relaxed after seeing the photos of Concubine Hui's grave last year."
Jia Cong sighed: "As long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle. The fat lady has been very brainwashed, and it is not easy to persuade her to understand." As he said that, the two of them walked into the back garden. Jia Cong raised his hand.
He looked at the watch and said, "Anyway, there are Brother Lian and the others inside. Let's sit down for a while." Nai pulled her and sat on a stool by the roadside, and the two continued to breathe.
Not long after, he heard a "dong" sound and a firework exploded in the sky. Chen Ruijin couldn't help but stood up: "Who is setting off fireworks at this time?" Five or six more fireworks exploded in succession. Jia Cong stood there with a smile on his face.
Beside her, the two were side by side.
After seeing four red flowers placed in succession, Jia Cong shouted in a low voice: "Here comes the good-looking one."
Chen Ruijin looked intently, and saw three "dong dong dong" sounds in succession, and three big characters appeared in the sky - I, love, and you. Jia Cong put his mouth to her ear and asked in a low voice: "Doesn't it look good?"
Chen Ruijin raised his face and said, "Did you do it?"
"Of course!" Jia Cong squeezed her hand proudly, "Who can stand being serious about state affairs, family affairs, and world affairs every day? You have to have some romance from time to time."
Chen Ruijin hummed, "You are the only one who has a lot to do." The corners of his mouth had already curled up.
