Chapter 957： Comparing people with each other makes people angry!

Chapter 957 Comparing people with each other makes people angry!

Xindu is located south of the middle of Tianwu. Rivers and waterways are developed, and fleets often come and go from the docks outside the city.

Even the Li family's fleet turned to the back door and landed at the pier on the other side of the military camp several times because of the congestion at the pier.

The common people thought they were familiar with all kinds of ships, but what they saw today still refreshed their understanding.

In the warm sunshine of spring, the fleet carrying the envoys from the eight countries was like a fleet of giant beasts, crushing the sunshine and rushing into everyone's sight.

The sea-going ship was five or six times as big as an ordinary sailing ship. It was completely black and made of unknown wood, with a faint glow.

The bow of the ship is carved with a ferocious animal head, with long, sharp and hard horns erecting from its lowered head.

Ordinary ships cannot withstand the collision of this long horn and will definitely be broken into pieces.

There are ten projectors standing on both sides of the ship's side, firmly fixed on the ship's deck.

Whenever and wherever you encounter an enemy, you can throw heavy stones and smash the enemy into a pulp.

Or shoot a sharp spear to pierce the enemy.

If you are unlucky and the deck is damaged, it is not difficult.

There are also two-story warehouses on the ship, with small doors and windows open, which is a little depressing, but it is the best protection when the ship is at sea.

The eight large ships following were not as big as the leading ship, but they were not much different.

At this moment, there were quite a few people standing on the side of the ship.

Different skin colors, different hair, different eyebrows, and different clothes made the people of Xindu more and more surprised, and they shouted out from time to time.

“Oh, look, that person is so dark. Is he exposed to the sun every day?”

“Black is nothing, look at that, he has blue eyes and his face is as white as a ghost!”

"It's scary, it's too scary! Which country is this from? Hell has opened, right?"

"Please keep your voice down, these are envoys from the Kingdom of Fan, here to see you! Didn't the Yamen post a notice to remind us all to remember the etiquette and not to embarrass Tianwu?"

“Oh, I didn’t say anything. I just haven’t seen it before. I’m so surprised.”

“Swallow your surprises and don’t be embarrassed in front of outsiders!”

"I know, I know!"

The people talked a lot and tried hard to hold their heads high and maintain the dignity of a great nation for Tianwu.

A few officials standing in front had already stepped forward to greet him along with Li Laoer.

Originally, settling the envoys was the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, but the envoys were brought back by two boys from the Li family.

One of them, the Queen of the Golden Buddha Kingdom, is the grandson's daughter-in-law of the Li family. In order to facilitate communication and better demonstrate Tianwu's attention and enthusiasm, the Minister of Rites personally requested the emperor and temporarily seconded Li Lao'er to help.

Li Laoer readily agreed. After all, the two nephews did this beautifully, which was a good thing that brought glory to the country and brought glory to the family.

Jiaan and Jiaxi, who hurried back to the fleet this morning, had already brought several other people from the Foreign Affairs Department to stand on the deck.

Three years of wandering have changed their appearance. Their skin has become tanned, their bodies have become thinner, and their looks have changed.

But what remains unchanged is their patriotism.

Now that I have finally returned to Xindu, I am surrounded by my compatriots and everyone is very excited.

Especially when they thought of their companions who were buried at sea and could not come back together, their eyes became wet.

The springboard was quickly set up. Jiaan and Jiaxi took the lead and walked down, greeting everyone and exchanging pleasantries.

Jia'an and Jiaxi could not help but stage an exciting drama with their second uncle about meeting their relatives.

After all, others didn’t know that they secretly went home last night. As a result, Li Laosan hurried over just halfway through the performance, and the village chief, Uncle Zhao and others crowded over.

Jia'an and Jiaxi were surrounded by people. One patted them on the shoulder, and the other shouted that they had lost weight and that they had to kill pigs and sheep when they returned to the village to give them a good supplement.

The two of them no longer have to act, and their eyes are really red.

Jiaxi hugged her father, and Jiaan hugged the village chief and Uncle Zhao. In an instant, they changed from the gentle and polite person just now to a naughty child who had been wronged and met his parents!

Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were dumbfounded.

Li Laoer coughed twice and explained to his nephews with a smile, "After going to sea for a few years, my family thought they had an accident. Now that they are back safely, they can't help but be a little excited."

Several officials nodded quickly to express their understanding.

This is not a polite statement. If their nephew made such a great contribution and returned to his hometown with honor, I am afraid they would be even more excited.

To this end, they had gathered the children at home last night and scolded them for most of an hour.

When they were young and at the peak of their energy, the boys of the Li family were more successful than the others. Why did they, who had been raised in fine clothes and fine food since childhood, only go to the flower streets and willow alleys to eat, drink and have fun!

I have to say, comparing people to each other is so irritating!

Finally, he comforted the excited old men and made an appointment to go back to Suijintan in the evening to eat pig meat. Only then did Jia An Jiaxi have time to get down to business.

At this moment, various ships docked, and envoys from various countries also disembarked one after another.

Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Honglu Temple hurried forward to pay tribute.

How to show off Tianwu's magnanimity and be warm and courteous is their job, so the Li family naturally doesn't need to worry about it.

The Li family has always cared most about their own family, that is, Queen Abe and her son.

Ai Bei lived in Quanzhou for a while and got along very well with Mrs. Li and others. Not only did he become more fluent in Tianwu, but he also learned a lot about Tianwu's customs and habits.

Today, she chose a traditional dress from the Kingdom of Golden Buddha, a satin sleeved top with a stand-up collar, a sarong skirt and a gold belt around her waist.

The original three-quarter sleeves were specially replaced with long sleeves, and even the wrists were tightly wrapped.

Therefore, when she appeared, even though many people still exclaimed, it was not because she was "immoral", but because she was surprised that a woman was the king and because her beauty was very different from that of Tianwu women.

Several officials had long known that there was a queen among the envoys, but they still felt a little awkward when they saw it with their own eyes.

In Tianwu, women have been the vassals of men for a long time. Not to mention women being kings, they cannot even be officials.

Nowadays, they are still somewhat resistant to being asked to salute a woman.

Aibei raised his noble chin, his expression was dignified and solemn, and he firmly grasped the majesty of the leader of a country.

Several officials saluted, but she just nodded slightly, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work. Because my husband's family is here, I will not stay in the post house. Please forgive me."

Her tone was a little strange, but everyone could hear her clearly.

The Minister of Civil Affairs knew that the queen was the grandson-in-law of the Li family, but the other officials did not know, nor did the people watching the excitement around her know.

Everyone was a little confused for a moment.

“What did that woman say? Her husband’s family is in our Tianwu?”

"Yes, that's what you said! Isn't she a queen? Can a queen get married?"

“Nonsense, why can’t the Queen get married? Didn’t you see that her child is right next to her!”

“Who is it that is so powerful that he actually married the queen back home?”

At this time, Jiaxi stepped forward, stood beside Aibei mother and son, smiled and spoke.
