Chapter 78
Chapter 77
After sailing on the Volli River for more than half a month, Xia Zoe adapted well, and the three beasts and brown sugar can withstand very well.
Because the driving was smooth, no seasickness occurred.
Xia Zuoyi even saw the snow group standing up with its front paws on the side of the ship, looking down at the fish that jumped out of the river, with the tail fluttering behind him, looking curious.
The fleet approached the Anas Empire.
Udit brought a stack of carefully selected clothes, and said softly to Xia Zoe: “Lord, it’s time to change it.”
In order to be cool, Xia Zoe wore a large shirt and suspenders to sunbathe in the seat: “…Can’t you wait for a while and wear it again?”
The little lord shrugged his brows and looked very pitiful and hot.
The answer is naturally no.
Udit gently refused.
——How can the lord of Desinia appear disheveled in the port of the Anas Empire.
The dignity of the nobles is—even if the weather is hotter, they must be buttoned to the top, meticulously wearing vests, rigorous coats, and boots.
Xia Zuoy had no choice but to follow the responsible butler Udit to the cabin to change clothes.
——The soft top woven of fine linen, black trousers with a waist, the waist position is made of dark brown fabric splicing, and the outside is tied with a thin cross, there is an insignificant transition, and a thin waist is tied.
On the feet are leather shoes and ankle boots, which visually stretch the legs.
As for the coat, it is a short cardigan small suit. The right chest of the suit is decorated with a badge of thorns and rose style, and the bottom is decorated with a silver chain. The overall is refreshing and unconventional.
But no matter how elegant and decent, it will be a word after wearing it, hot.
The weather after May has reached the point where people can sweat.
Xia Zoe stood on the deck enjoying the river breeze, and finally saw the distant imperial port and the crowded crowd as the fleet slowly slowed down.
Tosi Cavendish deliberately accepted the task of coming down to the port from the king to meet Desinia.
He drove away the idlers in the harbor ahead of time, cleared the obnoxious ships, lined up the knights in armor on the shore, and waited for Desinia to frustrate his spirit and annihilate him. prestige.
Suppression at the beginning, let Desinia understand that a small lord in the empire can only be controlled by others.
Tosi arrived early and the weather was hot.
The standard aristocratic dress of long dress and trousers made him sweat, even if the servant kept fanning the wind beside him, it was of no avail.
Not to mention the knight standing on the shore of the harbor wearing chain mail, his whole body wrapped tightly, only his face and hands were exposed, with sweat dripping on it, almost to the point of coma.
But once they can’t afford the result of the fall, they will definitely be held accountable by Lord Marquis.
It didn’t take long.
Just as Tosi was pacing impatiently by the port, the Grand Duke of Agiajoli arrived.
Although he was the king’s illegitimate son and even a marquis, Tosi didn’t dare to put on airs in front of the grand prince.
He was jealous of the other party, but he could only greet him honestly with his nose.
Why did the Grand Duke of Agiayolie come here?
Orville looked at the river in the distance with his hands behind his back, with a concentrated expression.
He brought not many people, only close men and entourage, Robert was one of them.
Orville displeased Tosi, always too lazy to answer his questions, often Robert did it for him.
Robert: “My lord Marquis, the Grand Duke came to the port to pick up the Desinian lord as a guest and stay at the mansion. All the arrangements of the Desinian lord in the empire are the responsibility of the Duke.”
“This is not appropriate.” Tosi said stiffly: “Your Majesty ordered me to receive…”
Orville looked at him coldly: “Your Majesty has me for it.”
Tosi’s face was instantly blue and white, extremely ugly.
It was not the first time that Duke Orville was dismissed without giving him any face.
After all, in the Anas Empire, the Akiyoli family holds huge powers.
Orville inherited the title of Grand Duke even at a young age. He was highly regarded by the family, and even his Majesty would give three points of face.
To put it harshly, an illegitimate child of him is simply not qualified to show his presence in front of Orville Archiyoli.
But Tosi’s illegitimate son was able to let the king put him on his face, which meant that he still had a lot of ways to please others, and he knew better who could not offend him.
So Tosi suppressed the surging anger in his heart, and wanted to say something to Orville kindly, Robert suddenly pointed to the distant river and shouted: “Grand Duke, the fleet of Lord Desinia is here!”
Tosi turned his head subconsciously and looked at–
——The fleet of ships holding the flag of Thorns and Roses broke through the sparkling river and came to the port, and the dazzling sun shone, as if the entire fleet was plated with a dazzling golden rim.
Flocks of waterfowl hovered around, and there seemed to be an eagle hum from the sky.
The next moment, the waterbirds scattered and flew high, as if slowly unfolding a dynamic picture, directly into people’s hearts, and people couldn’t help but want to sigh.
Countless ships approached through the water, slowly lined up as they approached the port.
Fortunately, Tosi drove all the ships that were parked in this port ahead of time in order to give Xia Zoe a disarm, otherwise it would still be a problem to stop.
Many people are sighing.
However, such an astonishing and shocking scene made Tosi’s expression difficult to describe. The butler tried his best to reduce the sense of existence and did not dare to touch it.
In the end, the Desinia fleet lined up neatly in the port.
The long wooden planks were put down, and two rows of soldiers appeared on both sides of the ship’s side under the leadership of Fernandi and Valk. The red and black undercoat and silver armor protected the important body parts. The light and thin new armor was not cumbersome at all, but on the contrary. More imposing.
Tosi bit his cheek to test the twitching soft flesh and forcibly raised the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a half-large black panther jump out of the deck.
Immediately, the three huge beasts also suddenly followed across the springboard to the ground, causing a burst of exclamation and panic instantly.
The people around him kept moving back. The knight clenched his weapon tightly. As Tosi got closer, the blood on his face disappeared from the sudden beast, and his lips trembled.
When he drew back in a panic, he accidentally nibble on the flesh of his mouth with his teeth, his face distorted and funny with pain.
Orville’s expression remained unchanged, and he even wanted to take a step forward.
Finally, he was stopped by Robert, who was also pale—Grand Duke, don’t you see the sharp teeth and claws of the beast? !
Briquettes roared at Brown Sugar, as if they were educating a disobedient child. Brown Sugar stopped and turned back, but hid beside Xue Tuan.
This was entirely because when the ship was docked at the port, the hull was unstable. Brown sugar was originally lying next to the briquettes and chasing after the raised tail with white stripes on black background. As a result, one of them did not pay attention to their feet slipping and chewing.
Xia Zoe slowly walked off the plank at this time.
Fernandi and Walker led two rows of soldiers and followed them.
Samuel did not follow and stayed on standby on the ship. The soldiers on the other ships did not land either. The springboard was lowered and several soldiers were assigned to guard on both sides of the ship.
The two columns of soldiers who followed Shazoe alone compared the knights Tosi had brought.
Although he was a young boy, he was tall and leggy, and had a beautiful appearance. Xia Zoe was still thinking about which nobleman the Anas Empire would send to receive him. He didn’t expect to see an “acquaintance” after he came down.
“Lord Duke, long time no see.”
Xia Zoe completely ignored the marquis who was frightened aside, and nodded to Orville, “Are you here to arrange?”
Orville: “Please come to my mansion for a stay.”
“it is good.”
Although Xia Zuoyi was a little surprised, he would not refuse. Living in a mansion of a grand duke would save him a lot of trouble.
Tosi took a step forward with an ugly face: “Desinia, it’s me…”
The big golden lion happened to be in front of him, and with a flick of his tail, he almost hit Tosi on the face.
Tosi retreated two or three steps backwards softly, his arm was held by the butler.
He looked at Xia Zoe’s puzzled look, and just wanted to speak again. Unexpectedly, Orville stretched out his hand on Xia Zoe’s shoulder, swept him around, and walked away.
He heard Desinia asking from a distance who he was?
Orville: Don’t care.
Tosi: Fuck.
…………
Tosi Cavendish fell a lot after returning, not to mention it.
After Shazoi was arranged by the Lord Duke, he sent someone to the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to find Boris.
He came earlier, and there were still eight days before the Queen’s birthday dinner began.
Xia Zoe intends to lease the port where his fleet calls, and prohibit others from entering the port. This port belongs to the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce’s industry, and it is just right to discuss with Boris.
Boris asked: “What do you want to do?”
Xia Zuoyi: “Naturally it is to do business, and the nobles of the Anas Empire should not be short of money.”
Boris puzzled: “Doing business?”
“There is no shop of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce in Wangcheng, what do you plan to do? Not to mention doing business should have nothing to do with the lease port…”
“At that time you will know.”
Facing Xia Zoe’s insistence, Boris nodded and agreed.
The next day, the port where the Desinian fleet was docked was changed.
The shore where the ships docked was beaten and beaten by many soldiers dragging wood to build a concise booth. In front of each booth was a conspicuous wooden board on which was written the name, price, etc. of the things to be sold.
Lemon sugar, rose sugar, and syrup wrap the cut fruit skewers on a wooden sign, and use the syrup to draw various shapes on a smooth chopping board…
Fashionable and beautiful ladies’ ribbons, hats, novel decorations…
Put the dried rose petals into the jar, then add salt, honey, etc., stir well and seal.
Wait for two hourglasses to open and pour out the excess water, then add sugar, stir and seal, the fermentation time is ten to fifteen days, and the fleet can just take it out after traveling to the Anas Empire.
The marinated rose sugar is put in a small bowl, the color is bright and attractive, there is the aroma of rose in the air and the sweetness of sugar.
It seems to be even more popular than lemon candy.
Xia Zuoyin ordered people to prepare the bread, and spreading rose sugar between the two slices of bread was a delicacy that was hard to refuse.
Of course, the price is prohibitively expensive.
