Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 329 [328] In the dark

In front of the main building of the Siyi Pavilion, there was already an uproar because of the appearance of the national teacher Malindi.

Seeing this ups and downs of catching people again, he immediately exploded.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know..."

"What did he just say that made the national teacher favor him?!"

"Heh, no matter what he said, I figured out where I learned the foreign language, and thought of it here to take advantage of it!"

"Now that I'm broken, I can only say one sentence. It's an act of disrespect and offended your envoy!"

"Hmph, I really don't know how to live or die."

Dong Chengfeng is not so unpopular. He is also a landlord in Qingxi County, with tea mountains, tea houses, and even springs for irrigation.

Qingxi is a sacred place for tea production in Fujian with a history of thousands of years;

Just mentioning Qingxi's natural reputation is not obvious, but in later generations, Qingxi was renamed Anxi, and Anxi Tieguanyin was developed in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and it has become famous since then.

Dong Chengfeng also has three or two shops in Quanzhou Prefecture, supplying all parties.

But the problem is...

Seeing that he offended the foreign envoy, even those who knew him had to pretend not to know him, and hastily separated the relationship.

"National teacher, how do we deal with this person?"

The guards of Daming were extremely respectful, and everyone now knows that the noble envoy of the Kingdom of Malindi is extremely important.

The Malindi people next to him only said "kill them", but they didn't understand the language, and the national teacher had to decide on this matter.

Gaza looked at the people on the ground and frowned deeply...

He spoke Malindi.

Even the several translators of the Ming Fleet did not master this language, and the communication they used was still Arabic.

Then the behavior of this person is quite intriguing.

not to mention……

Praise for balance?

How did he know the equilibrium?
Anything that involves balance should not be dealt with rashly.

"Take him, let me go first for convenience..." But in a hurry, Gaza was still overcome by the urgency to urinate.

People around want to laugh but dare not laugh;
He could only divert his attention and look forward to the fate of this bold collision and offending the foreign envoy.

Regardless of whether there is anything tonight, but the scene just now is enough to become the talk of the Quanzhou government for the next few months.

Seeing that the noble envoy was going to Gongfang, the chasing merchants did not dare to continue to follow, and stopped in the distance.

Only a group of guards escorted Dong Chengfeng to the outside of Gongfang's courtyard.

A leader of the guards looked at him jokingly and said, "Brother, it's really ingenious for you to win the position in this way and attract the attention of adults."

"We all understand the truth. Wealth and wealth are in danger."

"But your dangerous momentum is tantamount to dancing with the tip of a knife..."

"Those who can enter tonight's banquet are either rich or expensive. If your family has a connection, you should open it up earlier."

"Do you want me to send someone to bring a message to your home? At least you are in prison, and you don't lack food and clothing."

The surrounding sergeants laughed and looked at him like a clown.

And everyone understands what the boss means...

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it can make a fortune from this person, and it can also make my brother happy for a few months.

As for his life and death, in fact, no one is optimistic about it. He always wants to make an example of him, so that future generations will not know his life and death, and follow suit.

Dong Chengfeng's face was pale, and his body was trembling.

There is no connection in his family, his father and mother pass the family on to him, and he alone props up the family and manages it hard.

Although there is a wife in the family who is virtuous, she usually stays out of the door. The father-in-law is also a wealthy local landlord.

Maybe, find Mr. Zhou?
Only Mr. Zhou is the lifeline...

However, when the images of Zhou Li'an and Miss Si Nuo popped up in his mind, he seemed to hear the last instruction:

"Brother Dong, tell the envoy what I just taught you, and he will talk to you..."

'My lord is only for you to facilitate the opportunity, and you have to rely on yourself for the rest of the matter. '

Of course Young Master Zhou had no intention of harming others, and as he said, the Imperial Master Malindi was indeed emotionally agitated by that sentence.

However, with just this foreign language, how could he be favored by noble envoys?
But the reality is now in front of him, and he has been cast into prison.

Countless fragments flashed through Dong Chengfeng's mind.

For more than a month, they met each other, drank tea and chatted, and went outing outside the city. The three of them were like close friends, and they hated seeing each other late.

Brother Zhou has no reason to harm himself!

And just now at the banquet, Brother Zhou gave Dao Dao again, which enlightened people. With that kind of insight, he can be a great sage.

"No, I overlooked something..."

Dong Chengfeng's brain was running at high speed, as if he was about to seize some opportunity and inspiration.

It was his expression that caused everyone to chuckle——

"Is this person dumbfounded?"

"So brothers, take this as a warning, don't rush for quick success."

"The boss is right!"

And everyone didn't realize the factor.

Dong Chengfeng's face turned from white to red at this time, and his hesitant eyes were refocused, sparkling with energy.

"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, I have entered the eyes of the big man, and I have a chance to ascend to the sky more than others!"

After a while, the noble envoy returned.

Gaza relaxed his sphincter, his thoughts were clear, and his attitude slowed down when he saw Dong Chengfeng again: "What's your name?"

"My surname is Dong and my name is Chengfeng; I am a tea merchant in Qingxi County under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture."

"En." Gaza didn't ask any more questions, and only told the guards: "Take him to the main building."

A group of guards looked at each other, and the leader said: "Lord National Teacher, there is no need for this, this person is a sensationalist and offended the noble envoy; now he only needs to be escorted to prison, and he will be tried by the Quanzhou government office tomorrow. "

Gaza said lightly: "Do I still need to explain to you what I am going to do?"

The leader of the guards suddenly changed his expression, bowed and took a few steps back: "The villain dare not."

He hurriedly waved again: "Hurry up, take him upstairs and listen to the instructions of the national teacher and noble envoy."

at the same time.

Dong Chengfeng also noticed some subtle changes. The national teacher's relaxed attitude must be because of the "foreign language".

Turnaround, there must be turnaround.

After returning to the building, the group was surrounded by guests again, but Gaza ignored anyone again.

Go through the gate and go up the stairs.

Dong Chengfeng finally saw the long-awaited main building, and the guests gathered were all very luxurious.

People were all paying attention to the movements of the noble envoy Malindi, and seeing someone suddenly lead him into the building, they raised eyebrows.

But compared to the wildness outside the building, the guests in the building are very good at nourishing their spirits. They don't ask any questions, they just greet Malindi from afar.

And in a blink of an eye, he arranged for the servants: "Go out and ask, what happened outside, why the national teacher brought in a person."

Every family has actions and does not want to fall behind.

at the same time.

Everyone has gone upstairs.

Compared with the hustle and bustle downstairs, this place is quite quiet and leisurely, keeping happy without being noisy.

Zheng He, Tiaoyu, and several "fire chiefs" were talking with a group of Quanzhou government officials, the chief secretary, about what they had seen and heard when they returned from their trip.

Several members of the gunpowder team were accompanied by others, and they had a great time learning novel drinking rules.

Zhou Ruoyu was rather sleepy;
The table was full of old men, who were boring. At first, there were dancers dancing swords, which aroused his interest...

Seeing that the little god envoy was about to go up to "compete" with the dancing girl, he was caught by Tang Jing in an instant——

"That's acting, a kind of dancing, not that she can fight you for three hundred rounds."

The dancer shivered, although the person in front of her was only a young boy, she had seen the "powerfulness" of many dandies.

In the Gaomen's mansion, who doesn't die a few maids every year?

Not to mention the foreign youth who was regarded as the guest of honor at the imperial envoy banquet. If he wanted to kill the Quartet on a whim, who could stop him?
Moreover, this boy is obviously a descendant of the Mongolian Yuan...

Although the Great Yuan Dynasty died, there are still traces of shadows in the hearts of the people.

As a result, there were no dancers, only a few musicians behind the screen playing ancient tunes.

"Boring, boring, Tang Jing, take me back to my room to rest."

Tang Jing wished that he would leave quickly, so he stood up and took a few personal guards with him.

That is, just to the stairs.

It happened to collide with Gaza.

Gaza should bow down and salute: "My lord, are you leaving?"

"Well, let's go. Tang Jing said that the Quanzhou government army has good horses, so it's better to raise your spirits and go for a horse race tomorrow."

"We respectfully send the envoy of God..."

Beginning in Gaza, a group of Malindi people also imitated the etiquette of Ming Dynasty, making hand gestures.

Zhou Ruoyu didn't take it seriously: "I said earlier that there is no need to do this, it's all false!"

He was about to take a step, but his eyes were attracted by Dong Chengfeng who was restrained by everyone...

"Hey, wait, what's going on? What crime did this person commit?"

When Tang Jing saw it, he secretly thought it was bad.

Isn't this the joy of sending the little angel to the door?
"Envoy of God, let's go back earlier. Tomorrow we will go to the army station to test horses. It will take some time."

"What's the rush?" Zhou Ruoyu's eyes lit up, "Gaza, what's going on?"

Gaza is also very helpless about this.

Zhou Ruoyu's character, he is very clear...

Going upstairs at this time, he wanted to report to Zhou Ruonan.

It's not just because Zhou Ruonan is Adina's teacher, everyone knows that even though that little envoy is young, he is faintly second only to Tiaoyu among the envoys.

A group of eunuchs including Zheng He and Wang Jinghong reached a consensus.

This little divine envoy, who followed them in their mind wandering, was greatly favored by our lord and witch.

Furthermore, after sailing for several months, they also had a preliminary understanding of the structure of the Kingdom of God.

Zhou Ruonan's grandfather is the Great Elder of the Kingdom of God...

It is No.1 under the Witch.

Of course, Zhou Ruoyu also has an astonishing background, and is Wu's younger brother; but he is mischievous and escapes, so he can't take charge of big things.

"This..." Gaza was speechless.

Zhou Ruoyu was even more anxious: "Don't tell me?"

"This matter must not be told to outsiders, Mr. Tang, please find a vacant room and invite a few envoys to come with you..."

Tang Jing was also puzzled, because Gaza made it clear that he only asked for envoys from the gods, but declined them politely.

"The national teacher, please..."

Zhou Ruoyu couldn't wait to shout loudly: "Ruo Nan, come quickly, it's fun!"

His voice attracted the audience's silence and everyone's attention.

Gaza also said from a distance: "I also invite all the envoys to enter the quiet room, Gaza has something important to report."

His positive appearance aroused everyone's curiosity.

Zhou Ruonan and Tiaoyu exchanged glances, and got up together.

The latter begged for mercy: "I'll come when I go."

"God's envoy please!"

Zhou Ruonan also pulled Adina up and entered the private room together.

Then, all "irrelevant people" were isolated and the gates were closed.

At the main table in the hall, Wang Jinghong lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you come over and explain the situation?"

The guards who escorted Dong Chengfeng just now went to...

"Reporting to you, my lords..."

"Just now when we went downstairs, we met..."

He narrated the matter in detail, but he got stuck when Dong Chengfeng called out "foreign language": "Forgive me for my incompetence, I really can't remember how the words were said."

Zheng He and others were greatly surprised when they heard this.

It is not uncommon for merchants in Fujian and Quanzhou to be proficient in foreign languages. For example, Fei Xin, Ma Huan and others were also the home of wealthy merchants. For generations, they have exchanged business with overseas businessmen, and foreign languages ​​have established a family foundation.

Oddly enough...

Why is it that there is only one person, who has attracted a lot of attention and almost caused a conflict.

More importantly...

Why can this person be related to several divine envoys?

At this point, Wang Jinghong didn't dare to neglect: "Go outside the building to check, there are so many experts present, I don't believe that no one understands that foreign language!"

"Who is that person's name, where is his ancestral home, how many mouths in his family, even if there are a few moles on his buttocks, I have to clean them up."

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, as if facing a formidable enemy.

In the morning, I saw Wang Jinghong was furious for those noble envoys, so now I naturally know that this matter is unusual.

All the guards also turned pale, feeling that they had suffered an innocent disaster.

Tang Jing took a deep breath and said, "I'll do it myself."

"it is good!"

at the same time.

In the quiet room, Gaza also explained what happened:

"This person prayed and praised in Malindi, and I will never hear it wrong; and the ministers and guards present were all shocked."

Another Malindi minister said: "Yes, yes, what he said is %%￥...!"

Adina raised her head and looked at Zhou Ruonan. After several months of law practice, her language skills have greatly improved: "Sister, uncle is talking about praising balance!!"

When the four-character proverb comes out.

Tiaoyu and the others were shocked, and countless eyes fell on Dong Chengfeng.

After listening for so long, Dong Chengfeng also understood the situation.

The words passed by the young master of Zhou should be some kind of words of praise to worship the gods.

I heard that there are many religions overseas, and the Gentiles are even fanatical in their beliefs and strictly abide by the dogmas.

Or because of this, these noble envoys are interested in themselves.

It has become its own opportunity.

at this time.

A young girl stood up, stared at him and said, "Say that word again..."

"The rest must not interrupt!"

"Adina, listen carefully, what exactly is he talking about!"

Zhou Ruonan doesn't trust others, he absolutely trusts Adina's translator.

Adina nodded: "Tell me."

Gaza on the side showed a kind smile, he didn't care about Dong Chengfeng's origin anymore.

It is a relief that Adina is so favored.

Dong Chengfeng was reading a different language: "%%￥..."

Everyone in Malindi was moved, but they also remembered the envoy's instructions and dared not speak up.

Adina turned her head and said seriously: "Sister, it is indeed the language of the Malindi people. It means praising the Lord of Balance, which means praising Balance."

At this point, Zhou Ruoyu, who had remained silent for a long time, finally couldn't bear the loneliness, rushed to Dong Chengfeng and said, "How do you know Malindi?"

"Do you know what the Lord of Balance means?"

Dong Chengfeng was forced by everyone's pressure, and he almost blurted out, saying that taboo...

But it happened that the huge pressure swept over him, making him extremely clear-headed.

The instructions sounded in my ears again——

About the young master and me, you must not reveal anything!

No matter who asks you where you got this word, you have to say...

He raised his head abruptly, his eyes wide open, and he scanned the audience, his voice was low and steady:
"Dong has a feeling somewhere..."

"If you see a ray of light come down;"

"And out of the light came a voice—"

"%%￥...(Praise Balance)!!"
