At the banquet, Ye Zao toasted He Sanniang with a cup, "Come, I toast you. Although traveling overseas with the trade convoy doesn't make you as memorable as doing other duties, in my opinion, trade is an important task. In the future, if our Great Qing prospers in trade and the people become wealthier, it will be thanks to you and your colleagues. I toast you, and you drink on behalf of your comrades."
Of course, Ye Zao used tea instead of wine.
He Sanniang was very excited and hurriedly raised her cup: "Thank you, Noble Consort! I will strive to the utmost until my last breath!"
Traveling abroad to other countries. They were foreigners, mysterious strangers from The East.
At this moment, He Sanniang no longer felt that sense of not belonging as before.
They came from the Great Qing. They were people with a nation.
So now this toast from the Noble Consort deeply touched her.
Indeed, with trade flourishing, the country becomes strong. The future will be better!
