Matrilocal Marriage - Chapter 167

The sailors greeted Yun’an enthusiastically, and even the sailors who were brushing the decks gathered around and asked curiously where Yun’an was and how could they say anything…

Guo Yunan English is not very standard to them, but it does not affect the communication between the two parties.

Yun’an casually ridiculed an excuse, saying that his father’s generation had once saved a troubled country, and said that he did not speak much language with them. When I was young, my father used to go to sea, so I stayed with a fan all day long and learned their language over time.

Upon hearing this, the sailors suddenly realized that they asked Yun’an whereabouts, and Yun’an replied: “Later, he got well and worked as a long-term worker in our house for six or seven years. One year, a ship came to the port. It was said that it was his hometown ship. He has gone home and has been away for several years.”

One of Yun’an looked like Guan Shi Fanbang, said: “Later, our family was relegated and we had some money. My father was older but likes imported goods very much. We moved to Zhouzhou recently. The house was being renovated. My father asked me to Come and see if you can buy foreign goods.”

Said that of course, he was very happy to take Yun’an to see their specialties.

“What’s your name, sir?” Sailor.

“Xiang Lin.” Yunan thought, blurted out.

“Mr. Xiang, you can call me Louis. Our ship is called’Seabird’ from Orly and belongs to the Lord Duke. This ship and everything on board belong to the Lord Duke.”

Yun’an has never heard of a country called “Oli”, and I want to come. Although it is very similar to Blue Star, Blue Star is in the same time and space.

Yunan took the opportunity to ask a few questions. Has he ever heard of “Socrates”, “Aristotle”, “Plato”, “Copernicus” and “Galileo”.

After listening, he shook his head, Yun An didn’t chase him anymore, but Yun An believed that this era must have already existed and he knew a few theories, except that the master of the doctrine was the name on the blue star.

Yun’an had another incident outside of the Kingdom of Yan. Louis told Yun’an: Duke “Com” is the brother of the King of Ori, and is actually the Prince of Ori. But the lord prefers the dumpling of the Duke. The Duke of Kham has a large fleet and has been to many countries. “Oli” is an independent island, far away from the troubles of the mainland. It is a rare neutral country. There will be small disputes in the country, but there are few foreign wars. Compared with Orly, other countries are not peaceful…Several powerful empires wantonly attack the surrounding small countries. In order to avoid being annexed, these small countries can only form alliances through marriage and jointly resist imperial aggression. ”

Yun’an only understood it by seven or eight points, which probably means understanding. After she quietly turned on the video recorder and recorded Louis’s words, Yun An thought: Find an opportunity to also get a dictionary and study it carefully.

Yunan praised sincerely: “You are so knowledgeable.”

Louis laughed for a while and said, “Thanks to our Captain Vic. These are all he told us. Captain Vic is one of us. He knows a lot, but he is a little taciturn. We tell stories.”

Lin Xian walked by Yun’an, listening to Yun’an and Fanbang exchanges back and forth, more than proud.

Put the whole country in Yan: In terms of Fan Affairs, I also found two more powerful than Yun’an.

As far as Lin Xian knows, there is a sharp giant in the prefecture. Although the financial resources are comparable to those of the three-generation rich family like the Lin Mansion, they are also famous in the coastal state capitals. It is because he can say a few words to Fanbang, do some business, and get rich overnight.

The truth of the rumors is still known, but Lin Xian feels that in terms of communication, Yun’an’s ability is within the reach of a giant.

Yun An did not leave Lin Xian in the cold because she was so happy with each other, she would turn her head from time to time, and every time Lin Xian would smile back.

Thanks to the perspective of Louise, he will certainly be shocked: These two Oriental men have special lines…

Louis took Yun’an and Lin Xian down the stairs. When he came to the next floor, he opened a small wooden door like a cellar door. He took Yun’an and Lin Xian and climbed down to the cabin…

Before climbing down, Yunan watched Louis pull a hemp rope vigorously.

In the cabin of about hundreds of square meters, there are counted clear cube wooden boxes. Some wooden boxes have been opened, and there are a lot of straw wrapped in something.

The air smelled of mothballs, and it was a little choking.

Lin Xianxiu frowned, she had never smelled such a pungent smell before, so she had to raise her wide sleeves to cover her mouth and nose.

“Please wait, Mr. Xiang.” Louis walked by a pillar, took a thing from it, fiddled with it, and the light spread…

Yun’an was a little stunned, Oli actually even has a kerosene lamp…

If Yun’an remembers correctly, kerosene lamps were introduced to China during the Qing Dynasty, and the social and economic conditions of the Yan Kingdom at this time were closer to those of the Ming Dynasty…

Is this historical “chaos”, or… is Blue Star essentially the same here?

Louis handed the kerosene lamps to Yun’an and Lin Xian respectively, and unscrewed a handle by himself, and said, “Mr. Xiang, these are the specialties of our Orly country. You and your friends will take a look first. Will come over, and the specific price needs to be discussed with the chief mate.”

“Great.”

Yun’an randomly digs into a box. Inside are flat wooden boxes one after another. After opening, it contains a Western-style tea set with a six-piece teapot and a tea bowl. It is very beautiful and floral in style.

Yun’an chose a set. She saw similar tea sets in Lu Song’s study, proving that Yan Guo already had this set, so she didn’t have this set.

There was a muffled noise, and Louis told Yun An that it was the first officer who was here, and the captain could make all the decisions in the first officer.

Yun An and the first officer greeted him, and the first officer was also surprised that Yun An could speak English. Second, after a brief exchange, Yun An said, “These things are packed in boxes. It’s so convenient to find them. Yes. No catalog? Or is there something good, show it out?”

The chief officer looked at Yun’an and said, “We came here this time and brought a lot of agricultural products. So this time we accept barter for things on board. There are good things, so how about gold?”

Yun An smiled slightly and was ready after taking it out. He brought the extremely pure golden beans from Blue Star, put them in his palms, and said, “I only planned to come up and take a look today, so I only brought this one. Show me something good, if I take a fancy to it, the price is easy to say.”

The first officer took away the golden beans, pinched the tips of his fingers for a moment, then bit the back teeth, grinning, “Okay.”

The first officer did not return the golden beans that he had bitten into Yun’an. Yun’an smiled so-called, put the tea set under his arm, and said, “Part of this tea set will arrive.”

“Yes, come with me.”

The first officer took Yunan and the others out of the cabin and came to a study room with Western-style office work and bookshelves. There was a carpet on the floor. On the table was a globe, a stack of parchment paper, and a feather. Pen and ink, and a monocular telescope in an open box.

The first officer opened a box and took out a heavy cross sword, a double-barreled flintlock, and a silver chain mail from it.

The first officer looked at Yun’an’s outfit again, and pulled out a key from his neck. The key opened the drawer lock and took out a cloth pocket from inside. He held the rope of the bag and held it in front of Yun’an.

“The captain is here. These are the best things I can sell under my authority.”

“The Duke of Kham was a boy with a sword, a double-barreled gun, soft armor, and this…”

Yun’an took the bag, heavy, the texture of the bag is very delicate, it seems to be made of goose down…

Yun An took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Lin Xian, a guess flashed through his mind.

Yun’an joined Lin Xian’s side, and the two witnessed the process of seeing the contents of the bag. With an exclaim, Yun’an’s guess was confirmed.

The bag contained a gem, a fire ruby, slightly larger than a pigeon egg.

Yun An took a deep breath. If this gem is taken to the Blue Star, it will probably be a number…

“Like?” Yun An Lin Xian.

“this is……?”

Yun An swept the first officer, pretending to be contemplative, and said to Lin Xian: “This ship owner is simple, this big ruby… According to our side tradition, it is on the scepter and also on the crown. This symbolic identity The thing, he wears it himself and sells this far place… It is definitely a stolen item. If you like it, buy it… This thing is more valuable than real money after thousands of years.”

Yun’an felt that Duke Kham needed money very much, and he set a “performance amount” for the captain of this ship. Otherwise, the chief mate would even do the interrogation. Just because he could communicate with him, he took out this valuable thing. .

Of course, it is also possible that this group relied on their own firearms and was in their territory, so they were afraid.

“Let’s buy it.” Although this thing is strange, Lin Xian doesn’t like it. She thinks this red face is too blatant, but she thinks Yun An likes it very much, so she proposes to buy it.

“how much is it.”

The first officer put a finger up and replied: “Twelve thousand, gold.”

Yun An chuckled, put the gems back in the bag and talked, then turned to the globe on the table and said, “Buy gems for free?”

The first officer was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: “If you like it…”

“Are there any nautical charts?”

“Have……”

“Draw one for me too?”

“……can.”

Yun An smiled and continued: “Where is the sailor? Selling?”
