The Old Madam and the princess consort were also completely stunned. Their expressions turned ugly.
Not only were the people from the Liang Family stunned by these words, but everyone else present also revealed an indescribable expression.
Liang Youxiao actually wanted to marry such a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman. This was already something that many people could not accept.!!
However, what was even more difficult for them to accept was that this woman’s clothes were so revealing that even the brothel women did not dare to wear them.
His wife’s exposed skin was seen by so many men. What was Liang Youxiao thinking?
The Emperor was also very surprised. He did not expect Liang Youxiao to bring back a wife after a trip to the sea.
Judging from the Liang Family’s reaction, he was sure that they did not know about this before.
Although the Emperor also felt that it was a little strange, he did not say much and said, “It’s pretty good.”
The Emperor and the messenger chatted while Liang Youxiao acted as the interpreter.
After chatting, it was time to show off the treasures and animals.
Liang Youxiao had someone show them the treasures they had brought back this time.
There were boxes of gold, gems of various colors, thousand-year-old red corals taller than humans, and all kinds of pearls.
There were also many jade stones. Not only were there imperial jade stones, but there were also red jade, purple jade, yellow jade, tri-colored jade, and so on.
Other than jade and jewelry, he also brought back a lot of amber and crystals, all of which were of high quality.
Not only did the men present stare blankly, but the women were also the same.
When they saw so many gemstones, emeralds, and crystals, they all had the same thought. They were so beautiful and wanted them so much.
It had to be said that going out to sea was really too profitable.
It also made many families and individuals have the urge to get a share of the pie.
Since Liang Youxiao was able to return from the sea without a hitch and brought back more treasures each time, did that mean that their family members could also follow him out to sea?
Other than being able to see the market, it would be great if they could also get so many good things back.
Other than the treasures, Liang Youxiao had brought back many animals from Africa and Europe, all of which was dedicated to the Emperor.
The Emperor was also amazed by these animals that he had never seen before. He even personally walked down to take a closer look.
After he finished looking, the officials and family members also walked forward to take a look.
When they were almost done, the banquet ended.
At this moment, Shi Qingluo was pulling the two little ones to look at the giraffes when Liang Youxiao pulled Daisy over.
“The two little babies like giraffes so much. When they give birth to babies, you can ask the Emperor for one to raise for them.”
This time, he only brought a pair of giraffes, so he could not give them to the two little ones first.
The two little eyes lit up, but Shi Qingluo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
‘I don’t even have the experience of taking care of a giraffe at home.’
And in her subconscious mind, she still had to go to the zoo to see giraffes. If the two children fed it every day, it might not be as novel and passionate as they were now.
At the mention of this, she suddenly thought of an idea. She was going to tell her little husband about it later.
The two little ones obediently shouted at Liang Youxiao, “Hello, Uncle Xiao!”
Liang Youxiao looked at the two little ones with envy. “Hello, Ran Ran! Hello,
Jia Jia!”
After saying that, he even reached out and picked up the two little ones. Their fragrance and softness made him suddenly want to get married as soon as possible and raise a baby.
Then, he introduced Daisy to Shi Qingluo.
Liang Youxiao’s foreign language was taught by Shi Qingluo. This was no secret. At least, the Emperor and the others knew about it.
Since the old immortal master was taking the blame, Shi Qingluo didn’t pretend that she didn’t know anything and started chatting with Daisy.
Daisy didn’t expect someone to understand their language, especially a beautiful oriental beauty.
The two of them soon became familiar with each other. When they were about to part ways, Daisy still looked reluctant.
Before Shi Qingluo left, she asked Liang Youxiao curiously, “You want to marry Daisy? Will your family agree?”
She didn’t miss Liang Shizi’s indescribable expression just now.
Liang Youxiao shrugged indifferently. “So what if they don’t agree? Anyway, I’m definitely going to marry her.”
He and Daisy had long become a real couple, and he liked her generosity and beauty.
The key was that Daisy was not like the women in Daliang, and she could think in sync with him. Not only did they have a common language, but they could also do things together.
Moreover, Daisy’s family was a top noble in Great Britain, which would be of great help to him in the future.
Daisy also liked sailing and could accompany him on the sea at any time. This was something that the women of Daliang could not do.
“If I marry a girl from a prestigious family in the capital, I’ll be harming her,” he said after a pause.
“After all, I will go out to sea every year in the future, but my wife is likely to stay in the capital. What’s the difference between this and being a widow?”
Shi Qingluo agreed with him. The women of Daliang were more conservative. There were probably very few who were willing to accompany Liang Youxiao out to sea.
Daisy was indeed more suitable for Liang Youxiao.
She smiled. “Then I wish you success. When the time comes, treat us to a wedding banquet. ”
Liang Youxiao curled his lips. “No problem.”
“Oh right, the supplies you gave me last time were exchanged for a lot of things. I’ll send them over to you tomorrow.”
This time, he was even more glorious than two years ago, and he had returned with a full load.
Apart from the gifts to the Emperor and some of the things that were returned to the Emperor, the rest belonged to him.
He had opened shops in Imperial City, Jiangnan, and North City that specialized in selling overseas products. His business was booming.
He believed that the jewelry, amber, and crystals he brought back this time would definitely be snapped up once they were placed in the shop.
“Good!” Although Shi Qingluo had more money than she could spend, she wouldn’t have too many things. Furthermore, she had used her resources to get Liang Youxiao to help her exchange for them.
After the banquet ended, Liang Youxiao and the officials from the Ministry of Rites sent the foreign emissaries to their specially arranged accommodation before bringing Daisy back to the Liang Family.
Daisy was followed by a man, two women, and three servants. All three of them were carrying gifts for the Liang Family.
After Old Master Liang and the others returned home, they went straight to the old lady’s courtyard.
The other members of the Liang Family couldn’t help but run over to join in the fun. Firstly, they wanted to watch a good show, and secondly, they wanted to see what good things Liang Youxiao would bring home.
After all, when they saw Liang Youxiao offer so many treasures in the palace, not only were their eyes wide open, but their hearts were also aching.
Who would have thought that after Liang Youxiao went out to sea, he would do so well and bring back so many good things?
The Emperor’s reward would definitely only be Liang Youxiao’s. They only wanted to share the good stuff he brought back.
The Liang Family sat and waited until it was almost time for dinner when Liang Youxiao came in with Daisy.
He first introduced Daisy and her background to his family, then introduced his family to Daisy.
Daisy lifted the hem of her dress and greeted the Liang Family. “Hello!”
She had learned a lot of Daliang from Liang Youxiao, so as long as it was not too difficult, she could speak and understand it.
Seeing this nondescript greeting, the people of the Liang Family did not know what to say.
The old master was still mentally strong.. He pulled out a smile and said politely, “Please sit!”
