Red House Shoufu

Chapter 429 Sailing to the West and Opening the Sea in the East City, Lin Hou Protects His Wife

The marriage between Fuquan and Taozi is almost without accident, and Lin Shu can probably guess Taozi's thoughts. This girl can see through more than many people, and feelings can be cultivated slowly. There are not many men like Fuquan.

Didn't you see the sourness in the eyes of the oranges, pears and lychees next to you almost overflowing?
The New Year's Fair in Dongshi is extremely lively, Lin Shu is walking slowly while holding the hand of his young daughter-in-law, Fuquan and Taozi behind him all look embarrassed, especially Fuquan, a man who has been single for 20 years will turn red and can't even talk Unable to speak.

Lin Shu and Wang Yuan glanced back, they looked at each other with a smile, and turned around not to disturb the two Fuquan who were brewing emotions.

Wang Yuan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It's quite interesting. I was surprised that Taozi would be so brave and generous."

"It was quite unexpected, but it was considered a good thing. Every time I went to find you, Fuquan would stay outside. I have met Taozi many times, and it is expected that I have a good impression. Besides, Taozi is the most powerful person around you." Girl, if you marry someone else, you can't let her stay by your side anymore."

What Lin Shu said was actually a fact of last resort. As Lin Shu's official position became higher and higher, no matter whether it was the military and political mysteries of the court or the secrets of the government, it was not appropriate for outsiders to know.

As Wang Yuan is the mistress of the Wang family, the people around her must also guarantee 100% loyalty.It is the best choice for Taozi to marry Fuquan or a retainer of the Lin family, otherwise Wang Yuan can only send Taozi away who married someone else.

"Let's go, that guy Ma Fanteng's shop is in front, let's go see if he has bought anything interesting."

Lin Shu squeezed Wang Yuan's hand, and brought Wang Yuan, who was in deep thought, back to reality.She looked up, and not far away was the Western Treasures Museum of Marco van Basten, whose Chinese name is Ma Fanteng.

The red-haired and green-eyed Ma Fanteng had also been free recently, and was calculating this year's harvest in the inner hall, when he heard that Lin Shu was coming, he rushed out to greet him.

"Oh, Lin, my friend, you finally think of me, the poor man!"

For Ma Fanteng, a white-skinned and yellow-hearted guy, Lin Shu is not only a close friend, but also his noble guide in the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty. The longer he stayed in the Celestial Dynasty, the more he believed that making friends with Lin Shu was the most correct thing he did in his life. Decide.

The two bowed to each other, Wang Yuan smiled and thought, this Ma Fanteng is quite interesting, with a well-spoken Beijing movie and this Confucian robe, if it weren't for the red hair, green eyes and white skin, who would dare to say that he is from the West? here.

"Since choosing a gift for the little prince, it is most appropriate to come to me."

Hearing that Lin Shu came to Dongshi today to pick out gifts for the little prince, Ma Fanteng immediately asked the shopkeeper to fetch several exquisite boxes.

After opening one by one, the whole shop became colorful. Ma Fanteng and Lin Shu and his wife introduced: "A few days ago, a Portuguese fleet encountered a storm and was rescued by my crew. It is said that this Buddha statue was built by them The statue of Buddha brought by the Mughal Empire, this is a music box brought from France..."

The Buddha statue is extremely exquisite, and it is indeed a good thing. It is a pity that Lin Shu didn't want to give any Buddha statue, but this music box is quite interesting.

It is beautifully made and inlaid with precious stones. When Lin Shu opened the cover, there was a little silver girl dancing on it.

He wound up the clockwork, ding ding dong dong sounded the music, and as the music came out, the little girl on the middle disc spun.

In the previous life, this music box was indeed ordinary.But it was different now, this music box attracted the attention of the whole shop.

"This box is so fun..."

Although Wang Yuan is already married as a woman, after all, her childishness has not faded away. She stared at the music box in Lin Shu's hand with bright eyes, and said coquettishly to Lin Shu with crooked eyes: "Husband, let me see .”

Since the little daughter-in-law wanted it, Lin Shu certainly wouldn't refuse, so he taught Wang Yuan how to wind the clock, and explained to her in detail how to keep away from it.

It has to be said that the craftsmanship of the West has gradually caught up with the East and even surpassed the East in some aspects.The rise of the Renaissance brought the West into a period of rapid development, but the Eastern Empire was still indulging in the vanity of the Heavenly Empire.

"Lin, you are such a genius, you even know the principle of the music box."

Hearing Ma Fanteng's praise, Lin Shu smiled and said, "Did you forget the music box I bought from you earlier? I dismantled one and studied it after I got home. Maybe the Ministry of Industry will be able to make one that sings opera in a few days." music box."

Ma Fanteng suddenly realized, and slapped his head: "Oh, I remembered, that time you bought several for your sisters, but those were just shoddy things, England's things are always so bad, only France is the palace of art .”

It seems that Ma Fanteng has some deep contempt for England, but as he said, England at this time is really a countryman without aristocratic atmosphere in front of France.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "I want all three of these things. That piece of jadeite cabbage is quite interesting, and this grasshopper is very vividly carved..."

……

"Lin, are you really going to Jiangnan to host Kaihai?"

Wang Yuan took Taozi to the second floor to visit the imported items in the Treasure Hall, while Ma Fanteng led Lin Shu to the back hall to talk about the business.

The news that Lin Shu will go to the south of the Yangtze River in the next year has long been spread. Many people speculate that Lin Shu is exploring the way to open the sea, and by the way, presides over the grand plan of the imperial court ship sailing to the west.

Of course Ma Fanteng also heard about this, and learned from the crown prince that Da Chu intends to send a huge fleet all the way west, repeating the feat of Zheng He's voyages to the West.

Lin Shu didn't hide anything, nodded his head and said, "That's true, do you want to go back to Europa?"

"I have this idea. I have been in China for several years. In the words of China, if a brocade does not return home, it is like walking in the night. Lin, now I have the official clothes of the Dynasty on my body. I want to let those who looked down on me know , Marco van Basten is no longer Wuxia Amon, let those bumpkins look at him with admiration!"

I have to say that Ma Fanteng is really a genius.This guy has been in the Imperial Prison for a long time, and he opened his mouth to talk about it, but he closed his mouth and said the sage cloud, and the idioms one after another.

Lin Shu could also understand Ma Fanteng's thoughts. Back then, he sold the Basten family property and risked his life to travel thousands of miles east. Now that he has a successful career, he must go back and severely slap those who laughed at him in the face.

Moreover, Da Chu's fleet has Ma Fanteng as a guide, so this long-distance voyage can be safer. After all, this man is knowledgeable and talented, and he is simply a natural living map, let alone translation.

As far as Lin Shu knows now, Ma Fanteng has already learned seven or eight languages, not counting the dialects he learned in Dachu, what a genius!
"You go back this time, I'm afraid it will take three years to come back..."

Lin Shu said sadly: "My friend, don't just leave and never come back. I'm still waiting for you to tell my son about your legend in the sea!"

"Hahaha……"

Ma Fanteng seemed very pleased with what Lin Shu said, and laughed and said, "Why don't I come back? The countless delicacies of the Celestial Dynasty are still waiting for me to taste, and the thousands of volumes of books of the Celestial Dynasty are still waiting for me to study. Don't worry, wait until I come back." I will bring to my nephew the sharpest sword, the finest gem, and the most beautiful princess of Europa!"

Although Lin Shu wasn't interested in the swords and gems that Ma Fanteng promised and the strange things mixed in them, Lin Shu was still very moved by his sincerity.

The two took this opportunity to briefly talk about the route planning for the westbound trip and the main purpose of the fleet's westbound trip.

Lin Shu also specially reminded Ma Fanteng that this trip to the west is to let the officials of Dachu really deal with various countries in the West, so that these people can clearly see the development of the West...

Just as the two were chatting, there was a burst of noise from upstairs.Thinking that the little daughter-in-law was upstairs, Lin Shu hurried upstairs, only to see a group of people dressed as grassland people blocking Wang Yuan and the others inside.

"I just invited you to have a drink, and you dared to throw something at me... In the words of you Han people, you don't eat a toast and you are fined. Mueller, kill that damned guard for me, and then kill these two little beauties. Take it back to me."

Pfft, Fuquan's knife never disappoints. As soon as that Mu Le swung his machete, Fuquan immediately drew his knife and chopped off the man's hand.

With a bang, the scimitar fell to the ground, and then a shrill howl was heard.

The leading prairie man had a fierce look in his eyes, and his own people didn't even see the shadow of the opponent's knife clearly, so they were just useless. It seemed that he had really encountered a difficult person.

When Lin Shu's figure appeared at the stairs on the second floor, Wang Yuan, who was still calm at first, almost rushed towards him.

Even if the bloody scene in front of her didn't frighten her, Wang Yuan still showed a look of grievance after seeing her husband's figure.

Seeing his little daughter-in-law being wronged, Lin Shu didn't care about the identities of these prairie people, so he picked up the western sword on the shelf beside him and walked forward.

At this time, the prairie barbarians also heard the movement behind them, and they all turned around to look, only to see a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar indifferently raising his sword forward, the killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"Wow..."

Among the group of prairie barbarians, someone seemed to recognize Lin Shu's identity, and whispered a few prairie words into the leader's ear.

Then he stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Shu: "Respected Marquis Yongfeng, I am Ai Hemai, the deputy envoy of the Yarkand Khanate, and this is Rashid, the prince of the Khanate. This time we are coming to the Celestial Dynasty... ..."

"I don't care what your identities are and what you are here for, this Marquis only knows that you have disturbed my wife, and this Marquis needs your blood to extinguish my anger!"

Lin Shu's dominance made Ai Hemai's face pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead in the winter.They came to the capital of Dachu with a mission, but they didn't expect that Prince Rashid's unintentional sexual behavior caused them to offend someone they shouldn't have.

"I am the noble prince of the Yarkand Khanate. Don't say you are a little prince, even your emperor should treat me with courtesy. Otherwise, the warriors of the Yarkand will march eastward, and the fertile land in Hexi will be covered with blood." Dyed red!"

Rashid is very arrogant, of course he also has the capital of being arrogant.Da Chu had just put down the rebellion in Hexi, and it was time to recuperate. Otherwise, when the Xining County Palace provoked a rebellion, the feudal states in the Western Regions were about to move, how could Da Chu easily spare them.

The Yeerqiang Khanate inherited the power of the Chagatai Khanate, with strong soldiers and strong horses, it is indeed a force that cannot be underestimated.Now that Great Chu is rejecting Wala in the north, and the countries in the south are not too safe, they will not be able to spare troops to fight against other countries in the Western Regions for a while.

This time Lashid led the team to Beijing, intending to take this opportunity to put pressure on Da Chu, looking for an opportunity to gain some advantages, it is best to exchange small tributes for some exquisite porcelain, precious silk and other gifts in return, so that they can come from the west Get some honeysuckle flowers on the big cannibal.

Of course, the most important thing is to test and test the true strength of Dachu. The Yarkand Khanate needs to move eastward, and the lush pastures on the west side of the river are simply too attractive.

Hearing Rashid's arrogant words, Lin Shu didn't stop in his footsteps, and the western sword in his hand shone coldly in the sunlight that penetrated through the window on the second floor.

Whoosh!
The light western sword is not comfortable to use, but it does help Lin Shu to swing the sword faster.If Rashid's guards did not have two brushes, the sword would not just cut through his clothes.

hiss!
Lashid is also a martial arts practitioner, he looked at the clothes on his chest that were cut by Lin Shu, he saw blood seeping out, but it was only a skin trauma, he could still bear the pain.

Pain can be held back, but anger is unbearable.

At least in the Yarkand Khanate, no one dared to swing a sword at him.

He thought that Da Chu was now facing enemies on both sides, and he would certainly not be willing to fight against the powerful Yarkand Khanate at this moment, so instead of restraining himself in the slightest, he aggressively provoked Lin Shu.

"I know you, what kind of Wenqu star of the Han people. Are you challenging this prince?"

Lashid pulled out the scimitar from his waist, pointed at Wang Yuan and Taozi who were guarded by Fuquan behind him and said, "In this case, let's fight. If I win, these two beauties will belong to me. If so You won, and this prince will not pursue your rude behavior today. How about it?"

Lin Shu was amused by this fool, did he really think that Da Chu would be afraid of making enemies with the Yeerqiang Khanate?
He is very clear about the temperament of the current emperor. Since the Supreme Emperor, the two generations of great Chu emperors have been extremely temperamental. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he was divided and transformed by the big Chu. He chased the Oirat army on the Nine Sides and beat him hard, and he still dare not show his head.

Compared with the confidant of the Central Plains dynasty such as Oara, if the Yarkand Khanate hadn't been separated by the desert, the Hexi army might have fought westward after a few years of recuperation.

Lin Shu shook the western sword in his hand twice, put it back on the shelf, and said with a little regret: "Unfortunately, I am not good at swordsmanship, so how about it, there is no need to bet, I will give the prince a gift..."

Lashid was overjoyed, thinking that Lin Shu's words meant that he had compromised.

I saw Lin Shucong lifted up the Confucian robe on his body, and took out a pistol from his waist. There was a flash of light and flint, and there was only a bang, and then Lin Shu's faint voice: "You have martial arts, I have science." !"

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Rashid was already lying on the ground, a blood hole appeared in his chest, and blood was trickling out.
