Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 609

After the lengthy and complicated etiquette, the envoys began to offer "special products.

This process made everyone in the court feel a sense of pride.

It has been a long time since Jiashen Kingdom was difficult to come to see such a scene.

All nations come to court!
Although there were only a dozen or so countries who came back this time, there were a few red-haired ghosts who came across the ocean, which made the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty feel very proud.

All nations come to court, re-translation comes to court, this is a scene that will only appear when the country is strong and prosperous in peace and prosperity.

For this reason, the people in the imperial kitchen are already busy at the moment.They tried their best and racked their brains in order to frighten this group of foreign devils.

Daming is still strong and powerful, so it should not be underestimated.

As for the Chinese, no matter what time it is, they never forget to treat guests to dinner.Therefore, when envoys visit, this state banquet is also indispensable.

The royal chef in the kitchen is busy, and the women in the harem are also busy.The envoys came to visit, and His Majesty granted them permission to attend. This is a rare pastime for the women in the deep palace, so they put in all their effort and made several kinds of facial masks for themselves overnight, and then applied the skin care products exclusively for the royal family in Huimin Supermarket Baicaoxiang, fell asleep after drinking a bowl of bird's nest.

After waking up the next day, after washing, I applied another mask, and then skin care and make-up.The makeup and makeup techniques from later generations made these already beautiful women even more beautiful, and the tribute clothes from Huimin Supermarket added a lot of splendor to these beautiful flowers.

To attend such a state banquet, one must wear court clothes.But since they found that the fabrics in Huimin Supermarket are more crisp, more colorful, and will not fade, the shoppers in the harem ordered a batch of high-end fabrics for the royal family from Huimin Supermarket.

Zhu Cihong is also happy to see this.

After all, the cloth was cheap, and he himself took the lead in wearing it.

Kesi is good, but it is really too expensive, and the price is not so high.Although, in this world, few people can wear such clothes, but as a simple emperor, he doesn't want himself and the people in the harem to spend too much money.

Therefore, the court clothes of these women are also made of new fabrics. In fact, if you only look at the effect, it is really much better than the previous ones.And these people don't think it's cheap. In their opinion, it's much better than the previous fabrics.

The women were dressed carefully, waiting for the banquet to begin, and the atmosphere in Fengtian Hall was also tense at the moment.

Westerners are more straightforward, and John was very excited after seeing Zuo Fu in the hall.When he was excited, he got a little carried away, and he shouted, "Oh, Foo, dear Foo, we finally meet again."

As he said that, he wanted to go forward, hold Zuo Fu's hand, and give him a kiss.

Is this worth it? !
The big Han general who was facing up rushed down and pulled him away. Sun Xunyu looked angry and wanted to tear John apart.

Zhu Cihong was dazed for a long time before he realized that he was furious, "How do the people in the Ministry of Rites do things?! How are the rules taught?!"

Zhou Shichang came out slowly, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, these barbarians can't understand my Ming Dynasty official language, and the translator I invited was also struggling. I have tried my best."

"Master Zhou, are you shirking responsibility?"

Someone said angrily: "This Xiyi ghost wants to belittle Duke Zhen!"

Poor John was pressed to the ground, looking at Zoffre eagerly.He still didn't know what he did wrong, why suddenly several big men rushed out and pushed him to the ground, and the whole room grinned at him.

Several envoys from France looked at each other, raised their lips, showing a hint of sarcasm.

That's the vulgarity of hicks from Great Britain.Do you not understand the principle of doing as the Romans do?The French are indeed the only civilized people on the European continent.

They also had a personal gift, but on the way here, they bribed several Spaniards, and by the way let these Spaniards find a few interpreters in Luzon for themselves.Most of these translators were born rich and noble. Although they have been away from Daming for a few years, they are very clear about Daming's etiquette.

In Daming, a woman like Zuo Fu is an outlier, otherwise how could she be called a legend?

In Daming, women's faces cannot be seen by men casually.This guy actually wanted to kiss her hand in front of a Daming man, how could this be tolerated by a man in a country?

I'm afraid her political opponents won't accept such a scene, will they?

The Japanese curled their lips, the Koreans curled their lips, and the Annan people squinted, thinking in unison, "People who don't know Confucianism are really vulgar."

Zuo Fu waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, don't be alarmed. This is western etiquette, which means humility. In their country, the defense between men and women is not as strict as mine. Foreigners don't know etiquette. Your Majesty Just spare him."

Zhu Cihong's face became better now, and then he snorted coldly, "What kind of country is it that men and women kiss hands in the street as a gift? It's too vulgar."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to signal the big Han general to let him go.

John got up, still looking aggrieved, Zuo Fu said in English: "John, in my country, you are not allowed to kiss girls' hands in public. This is a big taboo, how did you forget?"

John suddenly realized, he pulled his hair annoyedly, listened to the snicker of the Frenchman, and said with a mournful face: "Oh, God, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I forgot about you in a moment of excitement." rule."

Zuo Fu smiled, "It's okay, don't do this again next time. Our Majesty is tolerant, and he has forgiven you just now. I think, as a gentleman in a civilized country, you should respond to his magnanimity." .”

The fluent English dialogue left a group of people dumbfounded.

Zuofu actually has this skill? !

The French were dumbfounded.

What the hell? !
Why did the most noble and powerful female grand duchess of the Ming Dynasty speak a strange British dialect?
You know, there are only two languages ​​spoken in the European high society at the moment: Spanish and French.Nowadays, Spain is in a state of great power, and France has become the fashion in Europe, so French is also known as the most beautiful language in Europe.

In the eyes of the French, it's not surprising that Zoffe doesn't know any Europa language, but it's scary to know English, okay?

Does this mean that the British pretended to be European nobles and tricked the poor Grand Duchess into thinking that the most powerful country in Europe was actually England?

This can't be done!
The Dongying people are thoughtful.

Zuo Fu's eagerness to learn is beyond their imagination. The people in the post house, Zuo Fu even learned some Japanese and Korean in the past few years.

Now she is speaking Xiyi language again, how eager is this person to learn!

It's no wonder that at such a young age, he was able to inherit the entire master's lineage, not to mention, but also make it famous. This is a person worthy of respect!

Yes, a respectable person, not only because of her power, but also her humility and eagerness to learn.

A group of ministers of the Ming Dynasty also felt a little uncomfortable.

The people they look down on often bring them surprises, and looking at this Xi Yi, it is obvious that he forgot the rules because of being too excited. From this, it can be seen that Zuo Fu is an extremely noble person in his eyes, so that he has not seen him for too long , I forgot the rules.

John knelt down on one knee and expressed his gratitude and apology to Zhu Cihong.

The translator at the side quickly expressed his apology to Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihong nodded, motioned for John to get up, and asked him to stand aside.

"Respected Emperor Ming."

The French envoy stepped forward to salute, "I greet you on behalf of our great King Louis XVI, and may the friendship between France and Ming last forever."

The French are really rich.

They bring a lot to the table.

Now there are many Western clocks that are also very precious in the West. In addition, there are also some astronomical instruments and the latest scientific research instruments in Europe.

Zhu Cihong was very interested in these things, although Zuofuna could also make these things.However, royal boutiques from another country obviously attracted his attention more.

After all, these things made of gold or gold leaf gemstones are in line with the identity of another royal family, and they look good when placed in the palace.

Zhu Cihong's simplicity is true, but it doesn't mean he doesn't want good things, they are actually given by others.

So when facing the rich and powerful French envoy Zhu Cihong, he smiled more obviously.Moreover, although these French envoys look very different from the Central Plains people, they feel better than the British.

I heard from Zuofu that in Europa, France is a land power, and their current young king is very impatient. It is foreseeable that France will occupy an extremely powerful position in Europa.Moreover, they are rich and like Daming silk, so there is no harm in trading with them.

Well, this France should be considered the most civilized in Europe.

Zhu Cihong made a comment on France, and then said with a smile: "Send my regards to your king. I heard that your king is curious about the scenery of my Ming Dynasty, so I specially ordered the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to make some exquisite gifts. Someone will send it to you later."

Hearing that the son of Da Ming returned the gift and made it specially, a group of French people immediately raised their necks and suppressed their inner excitement: "Thank you, Your Majesty. May our friendship last forever! France will be Da Ming's best friend!"

Zhu Cihong smiled.

In fact, the so-called gift was also made by Zuo Fu.

A bunch of Chinese bridal sedan chairs, phoenix crowns, soul wears, bridal gowns and Forbidden City palaces made out of 3D metal DIY splicing, cheap and gorgeous.Don't say that these foreigners have never seen it, even Zhu Cihong has never seen such an exquisite thing.

According to the drawings, a group of craftsmen produced several sets within a few days, all of which were installed in the matching dust cover sent by Zoff.Look at it under the light, it is called a dazzling.

In the original history, the former Emperor Kangxi gave King Louis a real sedan chair, but Zuo Fu felt that it was too troublesome and expensive, and it was almost enough to give a model.Moreover, this model is not cheap, and it is enough to return gifts.

Most importantly, this can also sprout new business opportunities.

People nowadays have nothing to do, after a group of wealthy noble ladies have a full meal, besides being female celebrities, they can also play DIY!
Moreover, it can also allow Xiyi people to see the splendor of Chinese civilization.The model of the Forbidden City is also very large after splicing, which is very eye-catching and can be used for cultural output.

It can export culture and open up new markets. How can such a good thing be missed?

Therefore, Zuofu has prepared a set of such gifts for each country.The hands-on ability of the royal craftsmen of Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the highest in this era. Things like this are not difficult for them. I believe that when the envoys leave, everyone will have a set.

In fact, after hearing the translation, the envoys looked at Zhu Cihong one after another. Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Everyone has come to visit our Daming from a long distance. My Daming has always paid attention to courtesy and reciprocity. I have prepared gifts for you. When you go back, I will send them to you." Hall."

Hearing that everyone had a share, these envoys finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They all bowed to express their thanks.

After another round of courtesies, the Japanese envoy Yoshizuna Saie saluted and said: "Honorable Majesty the Emperor, the minister of the Edo Shogunate in Japan, Wakanenyoshi (shogunate position), Yoshitsuna Saie, represents the Japanese Shogunate General and our His Majesty the Emperor sends you greetings, may you live a long and healthy life, the Ming Dynasty will last forever, and the friendship between Japan and tomorrow will last forever."

Zhu Cihong nodded, "The Japanese envoys don't need to be too polite."

Ji Gang Xijiang got up, and then said: "My minister came back to Daming, one is to open up business, and the other is to be ordered by the emperor and the general. I hope to send students to Daming to learn advanced knowledge, especially Zuo, oh, no, science."

This is something Zhu Cihong knew early on.Moreover, these Japanese are quite good at coming, and they also sent two beauties, who are said to be the first-class families in Japan.In this regard, he did not refuse, and had already arranged two noble ladies into the harem.

What could be more secure than a marriage for the connection between the two countries?As an emperor, this is also one of his necessary jobs.Moreover, because the new concubine has not been favored yet, the queen is a little arrogant, and now she just took this opportunity to take in two Japanese concubines, which is good to suppress.

"Science is all managed by Duke Zhen. Only the academy she opened teaches science. I am very happy to share my knowledge of Ming Dynasty. But if you want to send students to study science, you still need to find Duke Zhen."

Zhu Cilang laughed and laughed, then looked at Zuo Fu.

This is also something that the monarch and his ministers have discussed.After all, there is no small matter between countries, and it will affect many years in the future, so it is still necessary to discuss the script in advance so as not to be too passive.

Ji Gang Xijiang looked at Zuo Fu, bowed respectfully, and said: "My lord, please be sure to agree to our request! Japan and Daming are separated by a narrow strip of water, and they have experienced hardships together many times. Please help Japan! Our people also need God Seeds. .”

Zuo Fu laughed, with disdain flashing in his eyes.

How many times have we suffered together?

Is it because he took advantage of the fire many times to rob?

But now that I am sitting in this position, I am looking for the benefit of the country, and being an emotional animal is not helpful to the country, so I put aside the nonsense of this person and said: "I am happy to help you Dongpu. After all, your Excellency also said that we are Neighbors separated by a strip of water, aren’t they? Besides, Japan and North Korea are our old friends. Unlike the Western Yi countries, you are all from my Confucian civilization circle, so there is no reason to see the country of brothers fall! Don’t worry, as long as If China does not fall, we will definitely pass on our advanced knowledge to you!"

　I hung up the water for three days, and I have to ask the doctor to see it again tomorrow.At that time, the doctor saw the film, and there was inflammation in the lungs. I hung the water for three days to check. Anyway, on the third day today, I still had a little cough, but the fever was gone.Sweating to death, I dare not go to the hospital because of the epidemic, afraid of cross-infection, as a result, bronchitis developed, dragged on for a few days and combined with lung infection... In the past, just hang on the water for a day, I am allergic, when the season comes It's about to be sent.What a dilemma. At this time, it is really not easy to go to the hospital. Everyone should rest at home and pay attention to reasonable work and rest time, exercise and diet!
