As time goes by, midsummer finally hit the entire Shuangyu Port. The terrain surrounding the sea makes the summer of Shuangyu Port even hotter. Zhouzhong has bought a lot of saltpeter to cool down, but even so, it is inevitable that it is hot.

Feeling uncomfortable.

The hot weather not only makes Zhou Chong uncomfortable, but even the trade in the entire Shuangyu Port was affected. For example, the coolies who load and unload goods at the port will be greatly affected not long after the sun comes out, and sometimes the cargo owners

In order to speed up the loading and unloading of goods, we had to increase the cost of tea for the coolies, but even so, the port's daily cargo throughput was still much reduced.

However, it is precisely because of this kind of high temperature weather that there are fewer things in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. With Sanniang and Uncle Tuo, Zhou Chong seemed to be idle and accompanied Wang Jinxuan to drink tea and chat every day.

Occasionally I went to the Xie family in Nangang to have a secret meeting with Xie Lingyun, and my life was extremely comfortable.

This morning it seemed particularly stuffy. Before the sun rose, a layer of oil sweat had already ejaculated on the body. Zhou Chong took a cool shower as soon as he got up, and then went to the front of the Chamber of Commerce while the sun had just risen.

As a result, I found that nothing big happened, so I stayed in the garden of the inner house to cool off.

Although the morning sun is already very strong, the shade of trees in the garden is everywhere, with ponds and flowing rivers, making the whole garden very cool. From time to time, there is a breeze blowing, making people feel extremely comfortable in this hot summer.

A long corridor is mounted on the pond, and in the heart of the corridor is a pavilion. Zhou Chong is lying on the bamboo chair in the pavilion. The stone table beside him is filled with washed fruits. Jin Xuan is sitting next to the stone table and holding it in her hand.

Books. I looked at them casually, and from time to time I would pick up the fruit on the table and peel them to taste them. If they were too sweet, she would put them to Zhou Chong's mouth. He liked to eat sweet things, but if they were sweet and sour, she would just put them.

, then eat it yourself.

Zhou Chong was sitting on the chair and was just lazy. He had been thinking about the suggestion that Wu Shan let him go to Beijing last time. He had been unable to make up his mind about this matter, that is, he wanted to go to Beijing to meet the person.

The legendary Emperor Zhengde then figured out why the other party was so kind to him, but he was worried about the danger that he would go to the capital. After all, he was doing the smuggling business. Although the court has turned a blind eye to smuggling for many years

One eye does not mean that smuggling is legal. If that guy targets him, it may cause some chaos.

Zhou Chong sometimes knew that his worries were a little unnecessary, because judging from the attitude of Emperor Zhengde towards him some time ago, he seemed to really value himself very much. He not only gave marriages but also sent Jinyiwei to protect him. So this means that Emperor Zhengde

He cares a lot about his own safety. In this way, even if he encounters any accidents in the capital, at least Emperor Zhengde should be directed at him.

But the above is just Zhou Chong's own guess. He has never met Emperor Zhengde, and he doesn't know the other party's preferences. If he guessed wrongly, Zhengde's favor to him was just a whim, and he simply took this matter afterwards.

If you leave things behind, wouldn’t it seem too rash to go to the capital to seek a meeting so rashly?

It can be said that Zhou Chong spent this period of time in this kind of entanglement. After all, after he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he felt a strong sense of insecurity. It was okay in a small place like Songjiang, at least Zhou Chong was still the same.

No one can touch him, but in a place like capital, he is nothing, and any powerful person may have his own life.

It was precisely this fear in my heart that made it difficult for Zhou Chong to make up his mind to go to the capital. In this way, the matter of whether to agree to Ashikaga Ikki. Even Ashikaga Ikki visited several times later, but Zhou Chong was all delayed.

It was vague for various reasons.

"Jinxuan, how long has his father-in-law left Songjiang?" Zhou Chong, who was lying there, closed his eyes and resting, suddenly asked. After thinking for so many days, he felt that he had finally made a decision.

"I have been away for more than two months. I should have settled in the capital now. I just don't know if my father's body is in trouble?" Wang Jinxuan heard Zhou Chong ask about his father, and his expression was also dismal. As a daughter

, watching her elderly father travel far away and she was unable to take care of her, which made her feel a little guilty.

Hearing that Wang Lun had been away for so long, he had been married to Wang Jinxuan for almost three months, Zhou Chong couldn't help but feel a little moved. He opened his eyes at this time and smiled at Wang Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, I

Maybe I have to go to Beijing. Do you want to visit my father-in-law with me?"

"Really? It's great! Thank you, my husband! When will we set off?" Wang Jinxuan cried out in surprise when she heard Zhou Chong's words. She didn't expect that Zhou Chong would take her with her when she went to Beijing to do business, and she also

It is great news for her to see her missed father.

Seeing Wang Jinxuan's happy look, Zhou Chong couldn't help but smile and replied: "But Jinxuan, don't be too happy. Although he is going to the capital, it is not now. After all, in such a hot weather, it is really not suitable to rush. In addition,

I still need to make some preparations, so it may not take until this fall or even winter as soon as possible."

"It's okay, the capital is bitter and cold. I just happened to prepare a few winter clothes for my father, and there are also clothes for my husband to wear in the capital. The time is still a bit tight, so I'll prepare now!" Wang Jinxuan is elegant, listen now

When I went to visit my father, I rarely showed a little anxious expression. After saying that, I stood up and went back to my room to prepare to go.

Seeing Wang Jinxuan leaving in a hurry, Zhou Chong couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He would have told her later if he had known it. Now that Jinxuan left, who would feed her fruits? I have to say that Zhou Chong became much lazy after marriage, especially his habits.

After being taken care of by Wang Jinxuan, he almost lost his basic ability to take care of himself. I really don’t know whether he is lucky or unfortunate?

What you should face must always be faced. As he becomes bigger and bigger in smuggling, Zhou Chong felt that he would inevitably deal with the official in the Ming Dynasty. In this way, if he could maintain a friendly relationship with Emperor Zhengde, he would be able to maintain a good relationship with Emperor Zhengde.

, then it will undoubtedly bring his smuggling career to a higher level, and may even allow the Ming Dynasty to relax the maritime ban and recreate the grand maritime trade event during the Song Dynasty and Zheng He.

It was precisely because of the above that Zhou Chong finally made up his mind to go to the capital. After all, sometimes he always had to take some risks. What's more, this time, in addition to managing the relationship with Emperor Zhengde, he could also reach an agreement with the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce.

As long as the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce voluntarily withdrew from Shuangyu Port, the other Japanese and Korean chambers of commerce will naturally withdraw quickly. Then it will be natural for them to propose the establishment of the Maritime Alliance.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong couldn't help but smile a little satisfied on the corner of his mouth. At the same time, he used a little force, and the bamboo chair under him slowly shaking. For a moment, Zhou Chong felt as if he was in the clouds, but in the end he was unknowingly.

Going asleep.

When he woke up again, he was awakened by a hustle and bustle in the garden. When he opened his eyes and looked at the sky, he found that he had not slept for a long time, at least it was not yet noon, and it was outside.

The sun was already very poisonous. There seemed to be some people doing something on the other side of the garden, and there were bursts of laughter from women from time to time.

Hearing this, Zhou Chong felt strange. He stood up from the pavilion and walked ashore along the corridor, and then walked towards the direction of the noise. As a result, the closer he got, the louder the woman was laughing there.

When he turned to the cover of a rockery, he finally saw clearly what was happening here.

It turned out that this was the place where Zhou Chong grew chili peppers. In the pepper field, Jianer and Bai Mengwan were smiling and picking the red peppers that had become red. Of course, there were also many chili peppers still green.

Green, but I believe it will turn red in a few days.

Looking at Bracelets and the others holding umbrellas in one hand blocking the strong sunshine, gently picking off the peppers in the other hand and putting them in the cloth bag on their bodies. The scene was like a classical lady's picture, and it felt pleasing to the eyes just by looking at it.

It was so extreme that even Zhou Chong couldn't bear to go over and disturb them.

However, Zhou Chong'er and the others soon discovered that Zhou Chong was born. The first person to see him was Bai Mengwan. She smiled at Zhou Chong, then leaned into Jianer's ear and whispered a few words.

The old man also looked up and saw Zhou Chong, and immediately said loudly: "Brother, if you don't go with your sister-in-law, why do you have time to come here?"

Hearing Jianer's teasing, Zhou Chong walked over slowly, looked at the mature pepper and smiled: "Jianer, why didn't you tell me about the big thing about harvesting peppers? If I hadn't been asleep just now

I was woken up by your joking sounds. I’m afraid I still don’t know that the peppers are ripe.”

When Zhou Chong's question was about, Cheonger pouted and said with dissatisfaction: "Brother, you are with your sister-in-law every day. Mother told me not to bother you. In addition, Chili has always been me and Meng Wan and I.

My sister is taking care of you, what's the difference between asking or not?"

Cheonger is actually very dissatisfied with Zhou Chong's performance during this period, because she found that after her brother got married, she was either busy with the chamber of commerce or stayed with her sister-in-law, and rarely had time to accompany her, so she naturally

A little unhappy.

Zhou Chong naturally also heard the dissatisfaction in Jianer's words. At that moment, he had to smile bitterly and apologize: "Don't be angry, it's all because of my busy schedule. I haven't had time to accompany you and Duo'er, but today it's just right.

I'm fine, and the peppers are ripe again. Why don't I cook myself to make some dishes that use peppers for you? Then, how about letting you taste the deliciousness of peppers?" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better
