Grisha walked out of the door, and the dazzling sunlight that hit her face made her slightly dizzy. She pulled her veil to slightly block the annoying sunlight from her eyes.
The veil was very light and smooth, just like her skin. The moment the little girl Akito put it into her hand, she almost instinctively wanted to reject him, but she felt the lightness of saying no.
Feeling comfortable, she picked it up by accident.
Compared with this veil, her original veil was like the difference between an unkempt maid and an exquisite and graceful princess. As the most beloved princess of His Majesty Charles V, wearing such a veil was simply right.
An insult to the entire royal family.
The Li people around her greeted her with a smile, and she waved happily to these people. In the eyes of these people, she was the long-lost granddaughter of the great elder Lufa and one of them. But
But no one knows her true identity.
The only people who knew her identity were the elders of the Presbyterian Church. As citizens of the Holy Roman Empire, no matter how long they lived outside, their blood was still flowing with the same blood as the people of the empire. Everyone thought that she was a citizen of the Holy Roman Empire.
The elders' decision to return to the Ming Dynasty that once accepted them was the result of the elders' joint deliberations. No one knew that it was the unparalleled wise Emperor Charlemagne who really wanted their remnants to return to the Ming Dynasty.
"Grissa, this dress is so beautiful. Did you get it from Akito?" A young man trotted to her side and looked at Grisha who was wearing new clothes: "Wearing this dress,
Grisha, you look like a princess!"
Grisha raised her chin slightly and glanced at the dark-skinned boy. The boy had a handsome face, and the long and neat eyelashes on his two big green eyes fluttered gently with the boy's smart eyes.
, which made Grisha a little jealous. Why do men have such beautiful eyelashes? Do you use eyelash curlers to kill your enemies?
"I won't tell you that I am a princess!" Grisha smiled contemptuously in her heart: "This kind of clothes is what I should wear!"
"If you don't go work in the workshop over there, why are you following me!" Of course, he couldn't say what he was thinking, so what he said was a subtle change of topic.
"Today's bread is finished. Old Gru said that the weather is too hot and we cannot make too much white bread, otherwise it will spoil. If the inspectors find out about wasting so much food, Old Gru will be whipped.
!” The young man said with a smile, “By the way, Grisha, I heard that you hang out with Akito girls every day. Isn’t your grandpa angry? If I run to Akito’s house if I have nothing to do, my grandpa will beat me to death!
"
The boy's name is Mancini, and his "status" is the same as Grisha's. His grandfather is also a member of the Presbyterian Church. He is also a noble among the Li people, although among the Li people, the status of aristocrat basically does not exist.
They are recognized by everyone, but as relatives of the elders, they can still enjoy conveniences that ordinary people cannot enjoy, such as more abundant food supplies, fewer working hours, etc.
"No!" Grisha shook her head: "Lufa doesn't teach me Mingren's words, so I have to go find them to learn. Since we are in the city anyway, there won't be any danger, and Lufa doesn't care about me anymore!
"
"Then how much have you learned?" Mancini showed an interested look: "I want to learn too, but I have to work in a bakery every day and don't have as much free time as you. When you learn it, can you teach me?
!”
The young man's face was filled with a smile of enthusiasm and expectation. Grisha smiled and said noncommittally: "I'll tell you when I learn how to do it!"
He wouldn't want to imitate Akito's words, these men whose minds are all about muscles, Grisha raised the corner of her mouth slightly, maybe he just wanted to use this excuse to stay with her for a while!
While they were talking, the two of them had already passed through the long tent area and arrived in front of Lufa's house. Mancini paused nervously. Grisha looked at the boy who was standing at the door and did not dare to come in, and smiled slightly.
He twisted his waist and walked in.
After entering the door, she put down the basket in her hand, took off her veil and the clothes that looked gorgeous but didn't weigh much, and sat down.
A glass of cold water mixed with honey was brought to her. She raised her head and saw Old Lufa's wrinkled smiling face.
"I believe what you say, Lufa. That Imperial Guard is more powerful than the Imperial Guard. You still underestimated his power by comparing Qian Wubing to the general of the Imperial Guard. At least, I
I know that in the empire, no daughter of a prince or duke can be so obedient to a general of the Imperial Guard!"
"Old Lufa hopes that his knowledge can be of help to Grisha!" Lufa slightly bent his body and touched his left chest with his right hand. This action was not like a loving grandfather, but more like a grandfather.
Humble servant.
"This person is very important. If I want to see their emperor, we can use his power!" Grisha tilted her head slightly.
"The elders are already discussing this matter. At present, the Ming army has just put down a rebellion. The road is not very safe yet. After a few days, we will propose it to him, hoping that our people can reach their
To the people of the Ming Dynasty, everything can only be done with the approval of the emperor to meet their emperor in the capital. I don’t think they can understand this request and will not refuse it!"
"I will also be among the people who go to their capital, right?" Grisha looked at Lufa.
"This is your will!" Lufa nodded slightly: "You have seen this along the way, Grisha. We must open up this trade route and let Eastern silk, porcelain, and tea, which are comparable to gold in the empire,
How difficult it is to reach the empire. Didn’t you come here in person just to meet their Emperor and discuss this great matter with them?"
Recalling the hardships along the way, not to mention the harsh weather conditions, the endless sand bandits, horse bandits, and the wandering tribes that could turn into bandits at any time, Grisha nodded with deep approval.
"That Zhu Yunniang is the daughter of the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Not far away, she and her family have a huge fiefdom and army. Being friendly with her may be of some unexpected help to the tribe!" She will
After investigating the situation of Zhu Yunniang in the past two days, he solemnly told Lu Fa, "Also, don't let the young people of the tribe isolate them. You should let them get close to each other and understand each other. Once the trade route is established, your tribe will be the leader."
As the link between the empire and the Ming Dynasty, I don’t want the nobles of the empire to hear from your mouths in the future all your imaginary speculations and lies, which will make the empire make wrong judgments.”
Lufa was silent for a moment. Not getting too close to foreigners was a doctrine they had adhered to for hundreds of years. This allowed the tribe to maintain a pure bloodline and irresistible cohesion. Once he opened this mouth, it was hard for him to imagine.
