A WASTED KNIGHT
The Yongle Emperor Family
Third Prince Gaosui smiled and walked over to Gaochi and
say
"Sister, don't carry your feelings too much, stop
Sis, don't you know he's not our country guest, but a security deposit
indebtedness. Their country is poor, the debt on us has piled up, can be
I'm sure they won't be able to redeem it from us. Pay compensation
just in the cicil, we can be sure he has become our slave. At least 2 or
3 Years later his country has forgotten him."
Gaosui the third Prince is probably the most important Prince
bad manners among the Yongle Emperor's children. He is handsome, but
his work is just fun and lazy to learn or war training.
Every day his work is just singing, playing music, poetry or
have fun with her collection of concubines. If there is no activity, usually
he spends his time gambling or drinking together
his other friends. He was very close to the Second Prince Gaoxu
sealu defended her if scolded by their father.
“But you guys still can't treat guests from
other countries are like prisoners of war. Is not our country and Majapahit
friend country?” Ask Prince Gaochi
“Ah, I have already appointed you
the heir to the throne, doesn't mean you can arbitrarily go against your other brothers!”
Omel Gaoxu's.
Gaoxu, who was upset with his brother, left
leave that place with his eunuch. Gaochi and Wiraksara stayed with each other
come face to face. Gaochi kindly said
“Pardon the treatment of my sister and our country to you.”
“No, it's okay, thanks for your help. My
please first want to continue work in the stables,” said Wiraksara
while pleading
It was already afternoon when Wiraksara arrived at their cottage.
The autumn cold wind hit his face as soon as winter would come.
In front of the hut he saw Tie Shisedang inspecting the chicken meat, the salted fish
hung on the porch of the house. Tie Shi also makes dried chili peppers and vegetables
marinated in a barrel.
“Uncle, there's a lot of food you've made, since the beginning
in autumn you have made these foods,” Wiraksara said.
Tie Shi smiled at him and said
“In China winter lasts for 3 months. So you
must provide enough food for 3 months before winter.
If you don't provide enough food, you'll starve to death
during the winter. That's why we had to work hard for the previous 3 seasons,
gather food to survive the winter. Different from
your country that never knows snow because the sun shines all the way
the year. You do not have to bother saving food for the season
cold,” said Tie Shi
Wiraksara was dumbstruck to hear Tie Shi's explanation
Maybe that's why the Chinese are so hard at work
because of their harsh natural conditions, Wiraksara thought.
Wiraksara witnessed for himself, the immigrants from China
many fled to the archipelago because the country is often hit by war.
When it came to Java they did not carry much treasure and trade with
potluck capital. They are mostly tenacious, hardworking people, and they are not
wasteful. Plus if in the country people they make a society
chinese people overseas are helping each other when one of the
they're in trouble. No wonder in just a few years their efforts have been
growing rapidly. What was once only a retail trader, is now a trader
large serving wholesale traders.
Wiraksara is attracted to fish and chicken meat with colored spices
the red that Tie Shi was drying.
“Fish and chicken meat is preserved with what seasoning is this?”
Ask Wiraksara.
Tie Shi smiled and said
“Fish and meat are not only preserved with salt, this
is a typical Szechuan spice, there is a mixture of Szechuan chili and spices. It tastes better than just preserved
with salt only.”
It turns out that fish are not only preserved by salted, marinated means,
uncle Tie Shi made it by giving certain spices that make fish
it's durable and tastes better, inner Wiraksara.
“Uncle, teach me to make all this,” pinta Wiraksara.
“Of course, I'll give you the recipe. Well, please bring it in
to the kitchen barrel contains pickled vegetables and sacks of these tubers,” order Tie
Shi'i.
Wiraksara directly raised the barrel filled with vegetables
salty, into the kitchen, then lifted up the fish and chicken hangers, as well as a sack of taro and yam
vanish into the kitchen.
“Sala, why did you leave so long ago?” ask Tie Shi
“Today I was unlucky, I was targeted by archery
by the Second Prince, it was fortunate that the First Prince immediately came to a halt
his deeds. Huh, I could die in the hunt
if until the First Prince does not come,” said Wiraksara.
Tie Shi was surprised to hear Wiraksara's story, instantly he
worry Wiraksara will meet death like his younger brother first.
“Is that so? But you're not hurt, are you?” Ask Tie Shi
anxiously.
“No Uncle, don't worry, I'm fine.”
****
The next morning as usual Wiraksara did his job
brush the horse's fur and feed them. While working
the sound of horse footsteps approaching. A soldier came to see him
and said
“You are the messenger from Majapahit?”
“Yes, what are you looking for me?”
First Prince Gaochi wants to meet you at
complex, leave your job and get there.
“Good I go there soon,” Wiraksara said.
Wiraksara approached Tie Shi who was forging iron to
horse boots.
“Uncle, I'm asking permission to see Prince Gaochi. An
the soldier asked me to face him at his residence,” Wiraksara said.
“Alright Wiraksara, but quickly go home yes, if you can avoid
Gaoxu and Gaosui so as not to bother his business later. See it later, they
it will never stop bothering you,” Tie Shi warned.
After asking Tie Shi for permission, Wiraksara immediately left
meet Gaochi at his compound. A palace maid showed the location of the residence
Prince Gaochi, Wiraksara continued to walk in the direction the servant pointed out.
In the middle of his journey he saw Princess Xianning walking together
her puppets. When passing by, as local custom Wiraksara gave
respect to the Princess. Seeing Wiraksara, Princess Xianning shouted
“Hey you were that young man yesterday, how did you
meet with Chenchen today?”
Ah, fuck meet this cherry princess again, your Chenchen is already
being in the belly of the snake tau, his mind with annoyance.
By putting on a sad and concerned face Wiraksara acting
say
“It's a shame that Mr. Princess, I didn't find Chenchen,
maybe he went somewhere else. Try to look it up the other way maybe
only the dog can be found,” said Wiraksara.
Princess Xianning looked annoyed at Wiraksara's reply.
“Cannot be! Last someone saw him was in
around the stables after it disappeared.”
Wiraksara was about to argue again but heard someone
reprimanding the princess her voice was so authoritative that the Princess stopped talking.
“Xianning, don't bother him anymore, he's here to
meet me. If you want a replacement for Chenchen, I will
give again a dog that looks like him,” said Gaochi.
Wiraksara turned his head, seeing Prince Gaochi coming to him
and Princess Xianning.
“Ah Sister, Chenchen will not be replaced by anyone, she said,
anyway I want him back,” said Xianning sulking.
Gaochi smiled and asked his sister
“Then what makes you forget about Chenchen?”
Princess Xianning smiled meaningfully and said
“I want a necklace of ruby stone gems a gift from the Maharaja of India
that.”
Gaochi gasped at Princess Xianning's request.
“Hey, you can't ask for it, jewelry is a favorite
my wife!”
