Chapter 120: The State of Etiquette
At Honglu Temple, an official from Honglu Temple and Wang Hanzhong had been waiting here. The weather was hot, so Wang Hanzhong wore a sweatshirt and bought a fan somewhere, pretending to be elegant and fanned the wind.
Seeing Ye Chunqiu coming, Wang Hanzhong smiled and stepped forward and said, "Duke Zhenguo, the student has been waiting for a long time."
The Honglu Temple had arranged a crane cart for him, but he refused to sit there and shook his head and said, "It's better to sit in a sedan chair, just sit in an official sedan chair."
The official from Honglu Temple looked at Ye Chunqiu, and Ye Chunqiu nodded.
So he ordered someone to arrange a sedan chair. Wang Hanzhong bent down to get into the sedan chair with smugness, but suddenly turned around and smiled at Ye Chunqiu: "Talk you, I am a Tong Sheng. If it were in the Ming Dynasty, I would not be qualified to sit in the sedan chair. Look, this is not thanks to the people of Folang Ji. If it weren't for them, how could I get such courtesy? It's just... the ministers of your country are too pedantic and do not know how to adapt. Otherwise... wouldn't it be a good thing for the two countries to have a good relationship?"
Seeing that Ye Chunqiu didn't pay much attention to him, he was not embarrassed at all and still sat in the sedan chair with a smile.
Ye Chunqiu got on his crane carriage again. This trip was just to send Wang Hanzhong to Tianjin Wei. In addition to an official from the Honglu Temple, there were dozens of servants. Tianjin Wei was not far from the capital. After leaving the capital, he walked dozens of miles. The journey westward belonged to the junction of Beitongzhou and Jiangwei. However, this place still belonged to the capital. Because it was noon, he ordered wine and food in a nearby inn.
Wang Hanzhong got off the car with aura. There were officials from the Honglu Temple on his side, and several servants and escorts followed him. He went straight in and said, "Give good wine and good food." Without waiting for the shop to agree, he said, "Get faster, otherwise you will not be able to afford to be guilty."
The shop guy nodded and bowed.
After searching for a room, Ye Chunqiu didn't want to have dinner with him, but he was hungry, so he simply followed him.
When the wine and food came up, Wang Hanzhong looked red and smiled, "I just saw many chimneys all the way. Could it be that they made porcelain? Alas, if this porcelain was shipped to Malacca, it would be worth a hundred times overnight. It's a pity. Duke Zhenguo, the world has changed."
Ye Chunqiu only lowered his head and ate the wine and food without saying a word.
Although Ye Chunqiu was not very enthusiastic, Wang Hanzhong seemed to have aroused his enthusiasm and then said, "This Ming Dynasty only knows that it is the world of Folang Jiren. You see, the Ming Dynasty is only a thousand miles away from Malacca, but the Folang Jiren is thousands of miles away from the country, and still has its territory. It is conceivable that I feel sorry for you. At this point, I still call myself a great country and are arrogant, but I don't know how strong Folang Jiren is. This is my last advice. There are some good shows in the future."
The official of the Honglu Temple was a little annoyed and said, "The court treats you as a respectful guest, how can you speak so rudely?"
Wang Hanzhong sneered and looked very contemptuous.
After eating, he continued to set off. The official from Honglu Temple was young and seemed a little impatient. Seeing that Wang Hanzhong got into the sedan chair, he came forward and said, "Duke Zhenguo, it's better to send him to Tianjin Wei as soon as possible. I think, just go all night. Anyway, the official road along the way is flat, so I'm not afraid."
Ye Chunqiu nodded and said, "It's so great, I'll follow Zhuzhu Liu."
Liu Zhubu nodded, gave a few instructions to the sedan chairmen and the servants, and then set off.
The journey was hot, but fortunately the car was quite cool. Ye Chunqiu leaned on the sofa and slept for a while. When he got up, it was already dark. The chief clerk Liu kept urging him to continue his journey, which made the sedan chairperson panting and panting. He was in a inn in the middle of the journey. Now it has passed Beitongzhou. It will take not long to arrive in Tianjin. Who is early to get the inn? Ye Chunqiu came out to breathe and heard Wang Hanzhong's roar.
Ye Chunqiu went in and saw Wang Hanzhong slapped in the face and said sternly, "Did you blind your eyes? Do you know who I am? I am the special envoy of Folang Ji. I am new clothes on my body, and now it is covered with oil. Can you afford it?"
The shop is timid and busy, which is accused of the crime.
Liu Zhubu looked at him disliked, so he quietly came to Ye Chunqiu and whispered: "Duke Zhenguo..."
Ye Chunqiu looked at Wang Hanzhong's angry look with a smile, and whispered: "Don't pay attention. I'll give this shop a few taels of silver later. It's important to get the job done."
Ye Chunqiu suddenly glanced at Liu Zhubu meaningfully and said, "The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and it is most important to send other gifts out of the country as soon as possible."
Liu Zhubu nodded.
Wang Hanzhong was still cursing: "What is this? I'm blind... If he were a Folang Jiren, he wouldn't be as kind as me. When he encounters such a ignorant thing, he must hang him to death."
Since he had used the meal, Liu Zhuan continued to urge him to join the trip. Seeing that Ye Chunqiu ignored him, Wang Hanzhong still came up and said with a smile: "Duke Zhenguo, do you really not buy that seed? Actually..."
Ye Chunqiu yawned, and even was too lazy to look at him, so he got into the car.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and a hint of coldness appeared on Wang Hanzhong's face. He glared at Ye Chunqiu who had already entered the car, and a trace of murderous intent flashed through his eyes. He smiled loudly, but then he laughed kindly again and sat in the sedan chair.
It was already early in the morning when he arrived in Tianjin Wei. Ye Chunqiu asked the chief clerk Liu to find a hotel to stay. Wang Hanzhong was a little dissatisfied and said, "Since he is an ambassador, he should stay in the official office. How can he stay in the inn? This hotel cannot be stayed in. Is this your country's way of hospitality?"
He would continue to say, who knew that Ye Chunqiu had already gone upstairs and had rested in the inn for two hours. As soon as he got up, the chief clerk knocked on the door and said, "Mr., it has been arranged and I will take him on the boat tomorrow morning."
As he said that, the Liu Zhubu couldn't help but complain: "I really hate such a person. I see that I am young and have little experience in the temple, so I have to take on this responsibility. Oh, I don't want to stay with him for one day. He got on the boat tomorrow, and finally I can relax for a moment. Oh, are you eager to go back to Beijing? In fact, Tianjin Guard is quite lively, but the official wants to send someone to the next day and rest here for two days..."
"No hurry. If you stay for two days, then I will stay with you, but I don't know what good places are there for Tianjin Wei?"
"There is a temple in Hanjia, which is said to be quite effective in praying to gods and worshiping Buddhas." Liu Zhubu smiled hurriedly and said, "The officials have only three daughters and no son yet, so..."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I'll go too, I'll beg for a daughter."
