Giant Ship Across the Song Dynasty: My Supplies Come from My Motherland

Chapter 28, Awesome, Bro!

Humans are actually quite despicable creatures. Take this flamboyant young man in front of me, for example. He's seen far too many servile Song people. He usually treats these worthless Song people like dogs.

But today...

Well, even though this sleazy peddler in front of me is just a peddler, the way he looks at me...

It's like watching a dog.

This is quite interesting. Why does this Song person look at him like he's a dog? Doesn't he know what the status of the Jurchens is now? Even ordinary Jurchens don't need to bow to their Song lords, let alone a Jurchen like him whose family has some connections to the upper class.

He was a Song Dynasty man, and a lowly peddler at that. What right did he have?

However, the young man didn't say anything. Instead, he wanted to take him to see what kind of place he lived in and see the difference in status, so that the guy's eyes would change from arrogant to trembling with fear. This was his favorite thing to do. Whenever he revealed his identity and enjoyed the fear and awe of others, it was more refreshing than eating an ice cream on a hot summer day.

"My residence is just ahead."

Lin Zhou, pulling his delivery cart, looked up and said, "Go for it..."

After reading it, he looked at the Jin Dynasty guy and said, "Oh... your family is quite bold."

"Six Gallbladders and Rhyme Flowers!!! Your residence, bestowed by the Song Emperor! You dare to do this... You are truly audacious."

For a moment, he was at a loss for words. He had originally intended to keep him in the majesty of the emperor's courtyard, but his bold statement of "Go ahead and do it" had somewhat broken his guard.

"Never mind... just take the things in."

Lin Zhou pushed the cart through the side gate. This place was quite nice, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and a deep courtyard. It was at least on par with a provincial-level wildlife park. There were also quite a few maids around, which made it seem a bit like the Dream of the Red Chamber.

"So, this is my home."

"That's good." Lin Zhou walked to the fishpond and spat down, watching the koi carp scramble for the saliva. "Hehe..."

Just as he was about to vomit a second time, the Jin man grabbed him: "What are you doing?!"

"Douyu, huh?"

"You're teasing the fish! Those are precious koi, treasures brought from Japan. You're teasing them with your filthy saliva! If you kill them, you can't afford to pay for it."

"We can't afford to pay for it... It's just a cheap thing that costs eight yuan a piece at the flower and bird market."

Lin Zhou muttered as he stood up, ignoring everything else, and simply held out his hand: "Young Master, let's settle the bill."

"The bill will be settled naturally. Don't you feel a little flutter in your heart when you see this house?"

A flutter of excitement? Lin Zhou looked up at the garden courtyard, scratching his face slightly bewildered. "Ah... Young Master, what kind of flutter of excitement do you want in me?"

"It was that kind of heart-pounding frenzy, the kind of excitement where someone would see me and immediately bow down, saying, 'I was blind and didn't know your family was so distinguished.'"

Are you sick?

Lin Zhou's expression at this moment was like an old man looking at his phone on the subway. He took a deep breath and looked at the courtyard again.

Yes, the courtyard is nice, but is that all it takes to make him feel a flutter in his heart? The Forbidden City ticket is only sixty yuan, and that's during peak season; in the off-season, it's only forty. If this place can make him feel that flutter, then when he goes to the Forbidden City, wouldn't he have to start prostrating himself from the Meridian Gate and kowtow all the way in?

Yes... we have to start from Dongdan.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm so excited, so incredibly excited, I'm practically dying of excitement." Lin Zhou reached out again, "Young Master, let's settle the bill."

"Hey! Do you think I'd be short of your measly three measly coins?"

"Who knows..."

Just as the two were struggling, a sudden noise came from the side: "Wanyan Yangti! What kind of trouble are you causing now!"

Wanyan Yangti… Lin Zhou almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud, but he knew that it was very impolite to laugh at someone’s name, so he could only think about all the sad things in his life.

Just as he was starting to think about how his pretty classmate next to him had pricked his hand with a compass when he was in fourth grade, a short, thin girl came over, carrying a whip in her hand and pointing it at the young master.

"Wanyan Yangti, you've got some nerve! Father told me to keep an eye on you while you study, but instead, you run off everywhere the moment I'm not looking!"

Lin Zhou looked the girl up and down. She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she looked quite fierce. Although she was dressed in Han Chinese clothing, the whip in her hand was clearly made of high-quality material.

The once arrogant young master was rendered spineless by her shout, standing there with his head down and not moving.

"Where did these fair-weather friends come from?"

"We're not friends." Lin Zhou pointed to his little cart. "I'm delivering goods."

After hearing this, the girl glared fiercely at her brother, and Wanyan Yangti quickly turned his head away, not daring to say a word.

"If you waste money like that, your father will beat you to death."

After she finished speaking, she started rummaging through the pile of things. She didn't know how to open the military knives and such. After fiddling with them for a while, she seemed to get angry and just threw them aside.

"Come here." Her voice was crisp and clear, but it carried an overbearing tone.

Lin Zhou cursed under his breath, but still replied, "Here it comes."

But when he turned around, he found that it was that arrogant young master who had passed by. The girl seemed not to have heard Lin Zhou's words. Instead, she was angrily scolding her not-so-bright brother for being blinded by the things of the Song people again.

"Hey you." Wanyan Yangti suddenly called out to Lin Zhou, "You go and talk to her. I can't talk to this kind of mutt."

"You shameless Wanyan Yangti, you've started cursing now! Just wait until I get my father to break your legs!"

Lin Zhou chuckled and stepped forward, then began to use his professional skills to talk to the young woman about the uses of these items.

When she saw that the military knife could be bent into so many different functions, she couldn't put it down. But what she liked the most was the music box.

There are three music boxes in total. They were all prepared by Wanyan Yangti to please his younger sister. The three are different designs: one is a kissing figure, one is a white swan that spins around and kisses, and the other is a squirrel that kisses back and forth.

Anyway, he seemed to have an unusual obsession with kissing, but at this moment all three music boxes had fallen into his sister's hands.

"Ah... that..."

"Shut up!" The girl's shout silenced Wanyan Yangti.

She looked up at Lin Zhou, her voice much softer: "What is this?"

"Oh, a music box." Lin Zhou picked one up and patiently taught the little girl how to wind it up.

As the clockwork was wound up, a faint tinkling sound emanated from it, and the young woman's expression visibly relaxed, her eyebrows curving upwards, giving her an indescribable cuteness.

She stood there fiddling with it for a while, then glared at her brother again: "Why did you buy this?"

"I...I bought it for you."

"You're talking nonsense!" She glared at Lin Zhou, turning to look at him. "You tell me!"

"He did say he wanted to buy them for his sister, saying that she was lonely living alone in the Song Dynasty and didn't have many playmates, so he wanted to get her some novel little things to cheer her up."

After hearing Lin Zhou's words, the girl finally relaxed her brows and continued fiddling with the items in her shopping cart.

At this moment, Lin Zhou raised his eyes and looked at Wanyan Yangti, only to see that he gave Lin Zhou a thumbs up without making a sound.

A short while later, the girl pulled out the sanitary napkin that Lin Zhou had stuffed inside. Curious, she bit it with her teeth and realized it wasn't edible, so she asked, "What... is this?"

"This..." Lin Zhou coughed, "It's for wiping your mouth."

"For wiping your mouth?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it can be used to wipe the mouth and stop bleeding." Lin Zhou nodded hurriedly: "Tear open the outer package, and then the inside is used to wipe the mouth... It absorbs water and dirt, and is durable, but it can't be washed, it's useless after washing."

After tearing open the sanitary napkin packaging, the little girl pretended to wipe her mouth, and her eyes lit up immediately: "Wouldn't that absorb sweat? I'm always drenched in sweat when I practice martial arts, this would be so great!"

"Great...that's great, I never expected it to have such an effect..."

Then I saw the girl tear off the adhesive strip from the back of the sanitary napkin and stick it on her forehead.

Lin Zhou had originally wanted to explain how to use this thing, but now he just couldn't bring himself to open his mouth...

If I were to say it now, I'd probably lose my life...

"You peddler are quite interesting. What's your name? Are you a traveling merchant or a stationary one?"

"My name is Lin Zhou, and my shop is on Wutong Street."

"Very well, I'll go see for myself next time. My name is Wanyan Hongliu, remember that." The young lady waved her hand: "You may leave now."

"Mmm, Miss Red Willow. We haven't paid the bill yet..."
