Chapter 10 Chapter 144 Kidnapping

Come, come, let me see, what jewelry did you choose? When Xia Xun returned to her residence, she saw Su Ying and Tang Sai'er talking and laughing in front of the vanity mirror. The bed was covered with gems and pearls, the jewels were shining brightly. Su Ying stood up slowly, and said with a smile: You are back! Tang Sai'er swished and hid behind Su Ying. In this era, unmarried girls are not allowed to use rouge and gouache at home, and rarely use jewelry on their heads. Only married people can wear jewelry and use face powder. Tang Saier also knows such rules. She is wearing jewelry at this time, so some Shame on Xia Xun.

Xia Xun didn't care about these things, Su Ying was born as a pirate, so she didn't pay much attention to these things, Xia Xun said with a smile: Why are you still hiding, let me see.Su Ying smiled and tugged, pulling Tang Sai'er out from behind and pushing her forward. Tang Sai'er was dizzy and didn't dare to look up. She only held her skirt and walked gracefully to Xia Xun's side, bowing her head and hanging her neck, looking cute. Xia Xun smiled and said: "Don't be so petty, come on, look up, let me have a look." Tang Sai'er bit her lower lip, and raised her head shyly.

There are two shiny pearls on the helix, the pearls are not big, a bit close to the drop shape, and the top is a silver chain clip, which is lightly stuck on the two earlobes. I only wore this pair of earrings, without any other pearls, jade and flowers, but it set off a clean face without makeup, which was radiant, tender and white, beautiful and beautiful. Xia Xun smiled and said, "Okay, very beautiful!" When Xia Xun boasted, Tang Sai'er felt embarrassed, his face was dizzy, and his eyes were shining.That delicate dimple is like a flower, and there is a bit of youthfulness and immaturity in the charm, which is especially exciting.

Xia Xun is a person who has been in the sea, and his wives and concubines are all excellent in appearance, figure, charm and temperament. He has seen all kinds of stunning girls and charming beauties, and he is not surprised at all. The little doll at that time has grown into a graceful girl now. Time shapes the miracle of life. Brother Tang, if you could have seen your precious daughter grow so beautiful back then, I wonder if you would have given up rebellion for her Xia Xun sighed, and asked again: I just saw that you liked that plate of pearls, so you put them on and let me have a look?

Tang Sai'er said: "That necklace is full of round beads, people just like to look at it, they don't like to wear it." Xia Xun thought about it too. For a young girl with cardamom, if she wore a bead chain like that on her neck, it would not be beautiful to be full of jewels, but vulgar. Xia Xun praised a few more words, and Tang Sai'er left happily. The door closed, Xia Xun turned to look at Su Ying again, Su Ying smiled at him, her appearance was just like what Tang Sai'er said just now. Xia Xun glanced over and saw that Su Ying was not wearing any jewelry, so she couldn't help asking: "Why, no one you like?"

Su Ying smiled and sighed, "I'm almost an old woman, what jewelry should I wear?"Alas, I don’t know if I don’t look at it. When I saw Sai’er, I realized that I was really old. In Su Ying's tone, there was a kind of helplessness that was fading away. What is old?The most important thing is that I don't accept the old.If the heart is old, it is really old.Come on, let me put it on for you! Xia Xun picked up the string of pearls on the table and gently wrapped them around Su Ying's neck, once, twice, three times. After buttoning it up, with a light hand, the pearl lined up between her necks.

Su Ying looked in the mirror, and felt more and more awkward the more she looked at it, she couldn't help saying: This string of beads is too long, it looks really nice in the box, but it's ugly when you put it on, take it off quickly!As he spoke, he reached out to pick off the necklace. Xia Xun said: No, there is nothing wrong with the beads, it's because you don't wear them right. Su Ying was startled, and said: "Is it right?"Isn't the necklace just worn like this, what else? Xia Xun smiled and said: "Of course it's right to wear it this way, but I just realized that this string of beads is not worn like this. It is not meant to be worn out for outsiders to appreciate."

As Xia Xun said, he couldn't help saying that he went to Su Ying's outer clothes. In the mirror, the woman’s clothes are half faded, her fragrant shoulders are exposed, her crimson tube top, her pepper milk is still plump, creating a seductive ravine, the three pearls are hanging on her chest, and the top round beads are sandwiched between her chests. In the ravine. The bright pearl emits soft light between the snowy peaks and ravines, and the lustrous pearl light reflects the plump breasts. I don't know whether it is the luster of the pearls that adds luster to the breasts, or the plump breasts that add beauty to the pearls. .

It was a complete fit, subtle and charming, warm and soft with a kind of sensual temptation. Su Ying looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little bewildered, and her eyes gradually became foggy. Among Xia Xun's wives and concubines, she was the oldest. People at that time were patriarchal, but she would rather give up the chance to have a son. It can be seen that although she doesn't care on the surface, she is determined to keep her youth in her heart. This is certainly a woman who loves beauty. His nature is also a hidden worry about losing Xia Xun's favor. At this time, looking at her strange beauty in the mirror, she was moved spontaneously.

Every woman wants to seize the most youthful and beautiful time in her life and prevent it from slipping through her fingers, but how long can she look at this magnificence? Faint tears Xia Xun seemed to know the worry in her heart, kissed her gently on the neck, and said softly: "Silly woman, think so much, people will always grow old, and I will be the same when you grow old."One day, you and I will both be gray-haired, and our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be playing in our knees. That is another kind of happiness. Su Ying couldn't help holding Xia Xun's hand, and the two snuggled together quietly.

At this moment, there is only each other's heartbeats, and the sound of the waves outside the window seems to have disappeared Duke, the Prince of Ceylon has brought a list to ask for 20 boxes of musk, 30,000 pieces of silk, 30,000 pieces of colored silk, 1,000 boxes of porcelain, 200 boxes of camphor, and 500,000 copper coins. It is said that Eunuch Zheng He promised to give the country a reward.Mr. Zhang Xitong dare not be the master, he is dragging Prince Ceylon, asking me to ask the princess to be the master! It was a civil servant named Du Bing who came with the ship.Few of the court officials didn't know Xia Xun, so they didn't deliberately conceal Xia Xun's identity from them. Suddenly encountering such a thing, Zhang Xitong had never had such experience before, so he couldn't help panicking. If he agreed, he had never seen such a generous reward for any country with such a large amount of goods all the way. If you don't agree, if this is really what Zheng He promised, but here refuses to pay, then Daming's face will be thrown to the ends of the earth.In desperation, Zhang Xitong had no choice but to ask Du Bing to invite Xia Xun in a hurry. Xia Xun was having a tender relationship with his beloved wife, so Du Bing hurriedly invited them here. The two talked as they walked, seeing that Zheng He's big ship was approaching, Xia Xun understood the reason. oh?Will Zheng He's father-in-law or someone close to him accompany him back? No! Nonsense!With such a huge amount of finances, there is no handwritten letter from Eunuch Zheng, and there is no person around Eunuch Zheng to accompany him, so what else to consider? Xia Xun knew there was a fraud in it as soon as he heard it. Even in the tribute trade in the past, Zhu Di was there to make money, not to be a boy who spread wealth. Along the way, buy and sell by yourself, if you don’t sell, someone is willing to sell, how can you let you ask for the price. Most of the rewards given to the countries along the way are weapons and weapons. This is to represent the emperor to proclaim and appease the courtiers. Can't you deliver something? This time, the tribute trade was changed to free trade, and the political purpose of Zheng He's fleet was weaker than last time, and there was no reason to give generous rewards.So Xia Xun knew the news was not true as soon as he heard it. Du Bing smiled wryly and said: Mr. Zhang also thinks it is ridiculous, but the other party is a prince, with such status, is he committing fraud?It's really unbelievable, Mr. Zhang didn't dare to make a conclusion, so Xia Xun sneered and said, "Do you think all the people overseas are like my kingdom in heaven?"Not to mention a prince, even if the lord of a country is the leader of the bandit, it is not surprising. There used to be eight countries that claimed to be civilized. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Du Bing hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, the next official will inform Mr. Zhang to send them back!" good!wait! Xia Xun suddenly called him again, his face became serious, and he said slowly: "If they have Eunuch Zheng's handwriting, I don't believe that Eunuch Zheng really promised them. However, if they have the handwriting, at least it proves that Eunuch Zheng is safe, or just Taken hostage.Now there is no edict from Zheng Gonggong, but I am very worried Du Bing hurriedly asked: "What is the Duke worried about?" Xia Xun said in a deep voice: I'm worried that something will happen to Eunuch Zheng! Is Senac back? Not yet, Your Majesty! This is already the sixth time that Ariel Kunel has asked his court chief, and the answer he got is still that he has not returned. Zheng He smiled and said to Alie Kunaier: Your Majesty, the imperial envoy is too drunk, so let's end the banquet. Thank you for your hospitality, the imperial envoy should return to the ship. Alie Kunier, who was whispering to the court chief, heard Zheng He's words being relayed by the interpreter, she quickly turned her head and laughed and said, "Master Zheng He, please don't worry. This king is very hospitable. You should come here once in a while. You must come more often." Have a few drinks.If it's too late, just stay in the palace, don't worry, don't worry! Suddenly, a court warrior hurried over, leaned into Alekunai'er's ear and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming army fleet sent someone to pick up their imperial envoy to go back!" Alekunai was stunned, and said: Why are their people here to pick up the imperial envoy, and the prince hasn't come back yet? The samurai said: The people of the Ming fleet said that His Royal Highness is a guest on the ship, and because of the joy of the banquet, he is a little drunk. He is drinking tea on the ship to sober up and enjoy singing and dancing.He also said, please His Majesty the King to send the Imperial Envoy back, just in time to pick up His Royal Highness the Prince!
