778 women
Just when Xiao Letian was grandly welcomed by the officials and civilians of Ryukyu, a sea boat sailed south by wind and waves on the coast of the Yellow Sea. The destination was the warm Pacific Island Country Ryukyu.
The chattering on the deck was full of women's laughter. Xiao Le Tiantang's women all boarded the boat. This year, the master ordered everyone to go to Ryukyu for the New Year and taste what exotic style is.
Fuhui and Hu Niu stood at the bow of the boat. Fuhui was more traditional, wearing a top-notch lake brocade flag suit, which is the originator of later cheongsams. She wore a silver fox fur cloak on the outside, and she was full of aristocratic style. You can tell wherever you can stand, that she is the absolute boss.
Moreover, because Hu Niu had accompanied Xiao Letian to travel abroad and had contacted many European nobles, her vision was no longer comparable to the daughter of the Shanxi merchant in the past, and it was not obvious in Tanggu. However, once she left the land of the Qing Dynasty, she actually changed into a dress, a long dress with top-quality velvet material, a fox fur edging, and an exaggerated hat full of flowers on her head.
You read that right, it’s all full of flowers. In this vast sea, Hu Niu can decorate her hat with flowers every day, which shows the luxury of the Xiao family now.
"This is my first time going abroad. Let me tell you, don't do anything else when you go to Ryukyu. You must taste some fruits and seafood. Those strange tropical fruits have a unique taste..."
"Seafood must be eaten from the east of the island. The west of the island is full of commercial ports. The seawater is not clean anymore. Seafood has a strange smell... Now rich people eat seafood in the deep sea of the eastern Pacific Ocean of Ryukyu Island..."
"And the Japanese seafood is also very good. My sister must have never eaten the deep-sea king crab... It looks so big and terrible, but the meat in one leg can make you full..."
Fuhui looked at Hu Niu with a wry smile and said, "You can't change into a normal dress. Look, Lord Weng and Lord Feng are so scared that they dare not come out of the cabin..."
"I'm not normal. This is the most popular style in Europe this year. Fang Guan specially asked someone to bring it back from Europe... He clearly gave me several sets, why don't you wear it..." Hu Niu shrugged indifferently.
"They are willing to be old-fashioned, so just behave... Anyway, I am also the big-footed woman they scold, so I'm rebellious."
This time, Xiao Letian's family rushed to Ryukyu, which was a very private matter, but when Weng Tonghe arrived in Tanggu, the private matter changed.
No one expected the old man to be so impatient. The court had just agreed to his visit plan. Two days later, he ordered his troops to set off. Even Master Qing San didn't expect it to be so soon.
Weng Tonghe, with his student Feng Fu, accompanied by Shopkeeper Ding of the Lotte Foreign Company, brought eighteen entourages and twenty-four guards, and rushed to Tanggu all the way.
I happened to meet Xiao Letian's family going to Ryukyu. In the era of sailing, no matter how advanced the ship's technology is, it is very dangerous, so choosing a reliable sea ship is the most important thing.
The best sea boats in Tanggu are of course controlled by Lotte Foreign Company. The Hailong Clippers are the latest American goods, with the best speed and safety. This time, they naturally became the first choice for Xiao Lotte's family.
The old man is not stupid, so of course he knows that he has to borrow it all. If he can save some money for the court, he will have some money. The cost of renting foreigners' sea boats is not low.
No one could refuse such a reasonable request. The old man and his group successfully boarded the Hailong and followed Fuhui and the others to Ryukyu.
The sailing of the sea was not as beautiful as imagined. The old man and his group could withstand it except for a few guards with superb internal skills, and the others were all spitting out.
In fact, these people are not only afraid of Tiger Girl's strange clothes when they don't go to the deck, but also because of seasickness, all the bile they vomited out, and they can't even walk steadily. Where can they go to the deck to see the scenery?
On the contrary, Xiao Letian's family members have no such problem, because these girls can often take boats to go out for fun. Those who are closer can make small boats along the Haihe River to Tianjin Weishang. Those who are farther away can even make sea boats around the Bohai Sea.
Xiao Letian did not have the bad habit of locking a woman in the back house and not letting her go out. In his eyes, women must be happy if they follow him. It is not enough to just spend money and eat well, and they must also have spiritual pursuits.
So when Xiao Letian was away, these girls were traveling around a lot, and with the protection of the Intelligence Bureau, they were not afraid of any danger.
Xiao Letian once said, "I don't want a woman who doesn't leave the door and doesn't get out of the door. How dangerous the world is now. If you need to escape on a boat one day, but you're not killed by the enemy, you'll be seasick and die of death, or you're scared to death when you run away, how unfair..."
"So, my woman, Xiao Letian, has to be raised wildly. All the rules are thrown aside. I want to be full of vitality and keep me alive..."
It was with Xiao Letian's doting that the women in the inner house became more and more rebellious. Not to mention Tanggu City, even Tianjin Wei and Beijing City knew about Xiao Letian's women's unscrupulousness.
Wearing strange clothes, swaying around the market, and even daring to eat in the restaurant where men are inhabited... This is really a rebellious. In the late Qing Dynasty, women could go out openly in addition to markets and temple fairs, and at other times, they could buy a bottle of vinegar at the street corner and be ridiculed.
But Xiao Letian's women just swaggered and challenged the dignity of patriarchal society in a swaggering manner. Many of them were old-fashioned and even got angry and wanted to have a stroke.
"Shameless, ugly, unfaithful... I don't wear strange clothes and don't bind my feet, and I dare to go shopping on the street every day. The monsters... are just a group of monsters."
Of course, these words are scolded behind their backs, and few people dare to curse in front of them, because everyone who dares to scold in person is better than death by the Intelligence Bureau.
But there are always some people in this world who don’t know how to advance or retreat. For example, Feng Fu, Qingliu Hanlin, who vomited bile, lost his patience by the chattering of the women on the deck. He rushed out of the cabin and shouted.
"Xiao Letian is also a hero in the world. Why did he find such a group of unfaithful women like you... chattering about their strengths and weaknesses, and not binding their feet even if they are strange clothes... Do you want to rebel? Can you be quiet for a while..."
"It's really hard to raise a villain and a woman. I'm not worth it for Xiao Letian."
One sentence suddenly made the deck fall into a dead silence. Qingwen, Xiren, Ping'er and the others hadn't heard such a harsh sound in a long time. In this Qing Dynasty, there were people who dared to point their noses and scold them. They were stunned for a moment.
