Chapter 780: Exotic Princess
Now that the matter had been decided, Zhang Ping'an began to rewrite the memorial.
But this time, after careful consideration, he sent a letter to Jiaozhou.
He hoped that Green Bean Eyes could help accompany him on the trip. Green Bean Eyes could speak many foreign languages. Most importantly, he had rich experience in business and had experience in long-distance sailing. With him leading the way and disguising himself as a caravan to explore the way, the safety of the trip could be greatly improved.
The two hadn't seen each other for nearly a year since they parted in April last year, and they mainly communicated through letters.
I can't get in touch with him from time to time. This guy is often away from home.
Zhang Ping'an heard that he and Liu Shuisheng were doing business together in Jiaozhou, making a lot of money and living a prosperous life.
Now we no longer need to rely on Lin'an's family for financial support.
He also asked Fatty Wu to return to the Wu family in Jiaozhou to help him.
It is only February now, and it is not time to set sail. People should still be in Jiaozhou. Zhang Ping'an also wrote a letter to try his luck.
After not receiving a reply for more than ten days, Zhang Ping'an thought that the person had left and was no longer in Jiaozhou. He was about to submit the final list and details of all preparations.
But suddenly he heard the doorman come to report that Green Eyes had come to him with his family.
After not seeing him for a year, he has lost a lot of weight and his skin is a healthy wheat color. He no longer looks fat and pale.
But he is in good spirits and you can tell he is living a wonderful life.
Next to him followed a tall woman wearing a ruqun and a conical hat.
After entering and sitting down, the woman took off her hat and revealed that she was an exotic woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Zhang Ping'an didn't look at her for too long, but he was very surprised. He thought that this must be the wife that Green Bean Eyes married.
It has been a long time since he saw a foreign woman like this. She is really rare!
"Have you been possessed by someone?" Zhang Ping'an looked him up and down. You know, even if Green Bean Eyes lost weight in the past, he would try his best to eat himself back after he came back and settled down. Most of the time, he looked like a fat man.
You are so skinny now, it’s really hard to get used to you.
Green Bean Eyes drank several cups of hot tea in a row before he recovered a little. He slumped back in his chair and said with a smile, "Go to hell, brother, I've just lost some weight. It's not as scary as you say!"
Then he complained again, "How come it's already the end of February and the capital is still so cold? It's really not as comfortable as Jiaozhou!"
Zhang Pingan didn't hesitate and rolled his eyes. "Then why did you come to the capital? Tell me, what happened? I sent a letter to Jiaozhou before, but I didn't receive a reply. I thought you had left again. And this person, is this... my sister-in-law? Why don't you introduce me to her?"
Before Green Bean Eyes could say anything, the woman sitting next to him stood up, bowed with a smile, and introduced herself in awkward Chinese: "Hello, I am Ge Li's wife, and my Chinese name is Fusi."
Zhang Ping'an also returned the greeting with a smile, and looked at the green bean eyes again with a smile, thinking that this must be the unusual thing that Shuisheng had said at the beginning.
Marrying a foreign wife is indeed quite unusual.
Under Zhang Ping'an's teasing eyes, the thick-skinned man with green bean eyes could no longer bear it, and he laughed awkwardly, "Ahem, well, it's just like what you see. Fusi is the princess of Orus. I saved her in an accident, and then we got together. We got married according to the etiquette of the Central Plains, but my family has never really approved of it. This time, it's because my family arranged another marriage for me, saying that I should marry a concubine to carry on the family line and give birth to a son. That's why I ran away. I'm almost there. I guess they've made up their minds this time. Sigh!"
At the end of the conversation, Green Bean Eyes couldn't help but sigh. In the past, when he got married, his family repeatedly told him to marry someone of equal social status. Now that he married a foreign girl, even social status didn't matter anymore. They just wanted her to be from a good family with no bad reputation. It was obvious how anxious his family was.
Thinking of this, Green Bean asked casually: "By the way, why did you suddenly think of sending me a letter? Is there anything you need my help with?"
"It's nothing else. The imperial court is preparing to send an envoy to the Western Regions. Do you remember Lin Junhui? He used his connections to transfer to the capital, but he couldn't find a suitable position at the moment. A lot of people with real power are eyeing him, so I helped him get a connection and temporarily arranged him in the Ministry of Rites. He will be transferred when the right opportunity comes.
"But he's not very happy. This time he took the initiative to take on this job in the Western Regions. It's an opportunity, I thought. If you're free, you could go with us. Firstly, you can help him, and secondly, you can build up some connections. When the Silk Road reopens, you'll be the first to reap the benefits. Don't you love making money and taking risks? This is a good fit for you!" Zhang Pingan replied.
Green Bean Eyes' eyes lit up when he heard it. After Zhang Ping'an finished speaking, he slapped his thigh, stood up and said, "I'm good at this job. It suits me perfectly! Ping'an, you still understand me."
"However, the current situation seems to be a little different from what I thought before. If you go to the Western Regions, what will happen to my sister-in-law? She still has a friend in Jiaozhou. In the capital, I don't have any female relatives at home, so it's not convenient." Zhang Pingan was really worried. How could he go with his family?
Unexpectedly, Green Bean Eyes waved his hands nonchalantly, "Oh, it's okay, it's not a big deal, Fusi can just come with me!"
"With you?" Zhang Ping'an looked at the foreign princess who looked cold and elegant, and couldn't help but doubt.
"I can come along," Fusi understood and said with a smile, "I'm willing to go on an adventure to the Western Regions with Ge Li. I won't be a drag."
"Fusi was with me when I went to Goryeo before. She can dress up as a man, and she is also good at fighting and using a sword. Don't worry," said the man with green eyes, looking at his wife with stars in his eyes.
She is beautiful, smart, and knows kung fu. Where can you find such a wife?
It's simply unique.
