Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 573 Reunion

After walking out of the West Garden, Princess Changle quickly asked, "Have all the food and wine in the kitchen been prepared?"

"Princess, don't worry, I just asked Chen Xing's family, and they are almost ready." Cui Mo said quickly.

"As well as the accompanying coachmen, they also have to prepare food and drinks. It's been a hard journey all the way!" Princess Changle arrived.

Cui Mo nodded quickly and said, "I'll go tell the kitchen right now."

After walking out of the West Garden, Princess Changle originally planned to go to the kitchen to have a look, but she always felt that her clothes smelled of spices.

"Let's go back and change clothes first. I always feel that the smell of spices is too strong. The gentleman will not like it when he smells it."

Not only Princess Changle thinks so, but Cui Mo and Ying Luo also think so.

Too much spice is also a problem.

The guard went straight to Duke Wei's mansion, jumped off the horse, cupped his hands and said, "I am the guard of the Duke of Ankang, and I came here to tell your mansion that the bearded man Zhang Daxia has gone north and is now visiting Sujiazhuang."

The concierge of the Duke of Wei's mansion naturally knew about the bearded man, he was the eldest brother whom the father and wife swore to, and hurriedly said: "Please wait for this elder brother, I will go in and report to our father-in-law."

Li Jing, who had just returned home and was busy organizing the art of war, couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the news: "Brother is back? This is really great!"

Li Jing, who is already an extremely human minister, has already passed away a thousand sails and his heart is like an ancient well. The only concern in his heart is his sworn brother Zhang Zhongjian who is drifting at sea.

Zhang Zhongjian did not come back for a long time, he and his wife were very worried, after all, the sea was very dangerous due to the stormy weather.

Now when he heard that Zhang Zhongjian had returned, he was overjoyed.

"Hongfu, big brother is back, and he's in Sujiazhuang now!" Li Jing strode into the back house and said happily.

Hong Fu Nu looked pleasantly surprised: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to Sujiazhuang!"

"Prepare the horse!"

All the people in Chang'an City praised Princess Zhenzhu for her superb riding skills, but few people knew that there was another woman with excellent riding skills in Chang'an City, and that was Hong Fu Nu.

Dressed in purple, the red Buddha girl and Li Jing rode straight to Sujiazhuang, and many people were stunned along the way.

It was only then that people remembered that Hong Fu Nu, one of the Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust, was a real strange woman, not only with extraordinary martial arts skills, but also with superb riding skills.

The Sujiazhuang was extremely lively today, the spices from the dozens of carriages ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and everyone talked about it, but they couldn't help but look forward to it, the father-in-law will send people to sea, right?

The first time I went to sea, I brought back so many spices, how could I not continue to go to sea?

I will definitely send more people to sea, this is the opportunity!

Li Jing and the red Buddha girl jumped off their horses when they came to the gate of the Su Mansion. The concierge stepped forward to lead the horses and greeted him: "I have seen the Duke of Wei and his wife. Our Lord has already expected that the Lord and his wife will come. , please come in!"

Li Jing and Red Buddha Girl entered the mansion impatiently, and heard hearty laughter from afar, isn't that the eldest brother's laughter?

Big brother is back!

Walking into the hall, they immediately saw the hulking and bearded man.

"Brother! I'm looking forward to you coming back!" the red Buddha girl said pleasantly.

"That's right, big brother. We haven't heard anything about it for nearly a year. We all miss it very much. How have you been?" Li Jing asked with concern.

"I'm fine. I haven't seen you for a year. You don't need to miss me. I'm free and happy outside!" the bearded man laughed.

Compared with the previous ten or 20 years, what is it that I haven't seen in a year?

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, please sit down, everything is ready for you!" Su Cheng laughed.

The red-haired girl said with a hearty smile, "Then I'll stop bothering you today."

After the two sat down, Li Jing asked curiously, "Did brother really go to the Wa Kingdom?"

The bearded man nodded and said, "It's true that we arrived in the country of Wa, and the journey went smoothly. The charts given by the county magistrate are very accurate. The place is mountainous, far less rich than our Tang Dynasty, and the average Japanese man is only this tall..."

While talking about the bearded man, Hong Fu Nu said in surprise, "So short? But I don't think the Japanese envoys are very short!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "The common people must be short, and they can't eat, dress, keep warm, or keep up with nutrition."

The bearded man smiled and said: "That's true, and going on a mission is about face, so you must choose someone with good looks to go on a mission."

"I originally wanted to bring you some special products from the Wa country, but in the end, there is really nothing good in that place."

Hong Fu Nu smiled and said, "It's better than anything else that big brother can come back safely, so what good things can such a small barbarian country have!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "This time out to sea, Zhang Daxia brought back dozens of carriages of spices. When Aunt Li and Uncle Li leave later, you might as well take a few carriages with you!"

Spices for dozens of wagons?

Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu were stunned for a moment, did they hear correctly?

Isn't the unit of spices all about a few packs, a few catties?

When did a unit of spice become a car?

Dozens of carts of spices, it's hard to imagine what the scene was like.

The bearded man was also slightly taken aback. He only wanted to repay Su Cheng for giving him the charts and navigation manuals, and he had no interest in wealth, so he gave all the spices to Su Cheng very freely.

But he forgot that there were Li Jing and his wife, and they didn't bring anything to them when they returned from the sea. Although they knew they didn't care, they couldn't help feeling sorry.

I didn't expect Su Cheng to be so generous, just a few carriages of spices.

Although the spices are worthless at sea, as long as they are transported back to Chang'an, they will be real gold and silver wealth!

Li Jing lost his voice: "Dozens of carts of spices?"

The bearded man laughed and said, "I happened to arrive at a spice island, and there were spices all over the place. It's a pity that the boat is so big, so I can only pull one boat back."

It turned out that the spices in the dozens of carriages were real, and the red Buddha girl opened her mouth, still a little confused.

Li Jing was shocked and said: "I heard Su Cheng say that overseas is full of wealth, until now, I have finally seen it. The spice island full of spices really exists! It is unimaginable, unimaginable!"

Even an extremely human minister like Li Jing couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard dozens of carriages of spices, but then he calmed down and was rewarded for nothing.

Li Jing then shook his head and said: "There is no shortage of spices at home, and you will not be rewarded for nothing."

Su Cheng smiled and said: "This is brought back by Daxia Zhang, and it is also a little kindness from Daxia Zhang, so please accept it!"

The bearded man also persuaded: "Second brother and third sister, you can take it. There is nothing good at sea, only spices brought back. This thing is rare on land, and it is not a rare thing at sea, so you can take it." Come down!"

Li Jing was still hesitating, but Hong Fu Nu smiled and said, "Since it's Big Brother's wish, then let's take the two carriages."

"No wonder I smelled a scent of spices when I entered the mansion. I thought your house was smoked with spices!"
