My Favorite Manly Husband - Chapter 68
After a peaceful and beautiful New Year, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Yanbei Gu Changfeng took Zhou Yu and rented a boat from Dongjiang County to Qingzhou. It was the old brother who sent them to Qingzhou for the first time.
“People in the village say that the rice grains grown by this method are full and firm, with a strong fragrance, and the ducks raised are much more fragrant than ordinary free-range ducks. The fish and loaches in the fields are also very plump, so I bought them in the village. After a few acres of land, I won’t sail in the future.” The old man smiled authentically. This method can double the rice yield per mu, leaving a lot of money left after paying taxes. He is old and often suffers from rheumatism and bone pain, so he can’t do this business anymore, so he bought land in Dongjiang, planning to send Shen Yanbei and the others to Qingzhou and then sell the boat home to grow the land for retirement.
Shen Yanbei was slightly surprised. The old brother continued: “It’s all my brother, you have a broad mind, so you can tell me how to make money. Our villagers are very grateful to you! I have the pickles you made, my brothers who run boats. I like them very much.” I float on the sea all year round. There is not much food on the boat, except for fish, which is dried meat. If you want to eat vegetables, you have to go ashore. With these sour or hot and sour pickles, everyone feels delicious when eating dry food.
“Brother is absurd. I’m just picking up people’s teeth. It’s not enough.” Shen Yan Beiting was embarrassed. Although he tried his best to combine the current conditions with the methods of how to increase production and prevent insect pests, he compiled feasible plans and wrote them down to Li Zhiyuan for him to promote. However, these were not what he thought of, but he was praised in this way and deserved it.
The fine lines around the corner of my eyes squeezed, and the weather-covered face was full of sincerity: “My brother, you are so humble and willing to consider others. God will bless you in high school!”
“I am waiting and looking forward to having a good person like you who cares about the people as an official!”
Suddenly being put on such a high hat, Shen Yanbei was a little guilty. He participated in Chunwei not for being an official, let alone for the people…
“Hey, Shen!” A blond, blue-eyed and three-dimensional man with three-dimensional facial features shouted at Shen Yanbei from a distance.
Standing next to the man was a young man in beautiful clothes, Su Qingze and William.
Seeing someone coming to meet Shen Yanbei, my brother said goodbye: “Go to Yongjing, I wish you all the best! Gold list title! My brother will return to Dongjiang and wait for your good news!”
“Thank you, brother! Brother, be careful on the road!” Shen Yanbei waved and watched.
“Big Brother Shen Gu!” Su Qingze ran over, his clear eyes filled with excitement, “You are finally here!”
“Are you ready to salute?”
Su Qingze’s little chicken pecks rice and nods. Knowing that Shen Yanbei would pass by Qingzhou by boat northbound, he was ready to move, so he wanted to go to Yongjing together. I was afraid that my parents would not agree and thought of many ways to convince them. As a result, when he spoke, his parents were just stunned, and then they agreed with a glance!
Not only agreed, but also arranged for him properly!
“Shen, when do the nests send it out?” William asked in poor Chinese. Not long after he came to Daqi, he was already deeply fascinated by this vast and abundant country. Hearing that the country is more prosperous, he can’t wait to see it.
“Let’s go now.” The weather is clear today, and it is suitable for a long journey.
Seeing Ming’an command the servants to move the things they brought to a big ship, Shen Yanbei was secretly speechless. The ship was tall and big, the hull looked very strong, and there were many guards on the deck. The guards were all sturdy, dark-skinned, and looked like experienced sailors, and there was a doctor on board.
While talking about a luxurious carriage parked aside, the coachman opened the door and Su Jingheng and Mrs. Wei got out of the carriage.
“Master Su, Mrs. Wei!” Shen Yan arched his hands north.
Su Jingheng and Mrs. Wei looked at Gu Changfeng and then at Shen Yanbei: “Gu Gongzi! Shen Gongzi!”
Gu Changfeng nodded. Understand that the other party already knows his identity.
Su Jingheng walked up to the two of them and said in a low voice: “Take care of the two of you on the Qingze road! I have arranged everything on the boat, and someone will meet you at Fengshui Port in Shanghe County.”
Shen Yanbei knew it well. No wonder Su Jingheng and Mrs. Wei could agree to Su Qingze’s boat trip north with them. It turned out to be the emperor’s instruction!
Sure enough, Su Jingheng looked at Su Qingze, who was leaping like a bird that wanted to fly high, and sighed. There was a kind of helplessness in his eyes that was poured out by his married son.
After boarding the ship and checking again, after confirming that there were no problems with the rations, water sources, emergency medicines and necessary self-defense items, Shen Yanbei set off.
It was a smooth journey, and the boat went smoothly, but even so, some people got seasick.
It is not someone else who is seasick, but Dark Eleven.
Because of the limited space on the ship, there was no way to hide in the dark, so An Eleven dressed as Su Qingze’s little servant and traveled together. Poorly, when he received the order to protect Su Qingze in Dongjiang County, he took the land route. The **** for Su Qingze from Qingzhou to Dongjiang County was still overland, and he couldn’t adapt to the water route at once.
As soon as the boat sailed, his face turned pale. The doctor in the same company prescribed some medicine for him, and took some sauerkraut to feel better.
The conscientious young guardian urgently needed to overcome seasickness in order to perform his duties. Shen Yanbei, who came by, told him how he adapted to it. On the way, he mentioned the heroic deeds of the old man who ran a boat. As a result, the eleventh was unexpected. Also let him be tied to the mast post!
“Oh my God……”
Everyone was stunned as they looked at An Eleven, whose hair and clothes were wet by a big wave, who was extremely embarrassed but did not change his face. They were deeply impressed.
It is worthy to be a man who has become a dark guard, this courage and perseverance is really not comparable to ordinary people! Shen Yanbei silently squeezed a sweat for him.
It takes more than half a month to go north, and Shen Yanbei is studying on the boat while talking with William. This adventurous aristocratic youth from a country on the other side of the ocean took his own fleet all the way eastward. He has seen the customs of many countries and has many wonderful stories. Before, I couldn’t talk to people because of language barriers. Now, relying on Shen Yanbei’s half-hearted translator, I can tell the interesting things I have encountered one by one, which opened the eyes of several people. Shen Yanbei also took the opportunity to understand the degree of development of neighboring countries and had a general understanding of the economic conditions and political systems of the countries during the same period.
William talked about a sad thing on the way. After leaving his country and sailing at sea for half a year, someone in his fleet suffered from a strange disease. People suffering from this disease initially feel fatigued and listless, and then the gums decay and bleed, and even fall off. In the later stage, the legs swell and tendons atrophy…
People in his fleet died because of this one after another, and he was the only one left when he arrived at Qingyun Port.
Shen Yanbei was taken aback, and immediately realized that the dead crew members were suffering from scurvy due to a long-term lack of vitamin C. But this kind of situation is rare in Daqi. The coastline of Daqi is also long, but it does not take months to go from the southernmost point to the northernmost point. Moreover, the people of Daqi attach great importance to food and drink. Dachuan will prepare tea if conditions permit, and pickles if not.
Certain vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C. Shen Yanbei thought that if there is a chance to go to the ocean in the future, he must prepare these foods on board.
Several people on the ship, Shen Yanbei wanted to read and write, Gu Changfeng and Zhou Yu wanted to practice martial arts, and William was a navigator, taking out binoculars to observe the sea surface from time to time, and then recording and writing travel notes. Everyone except Su Qingze has something to do.
The boy was very happy at the beginning, but after walking on the sea for a few days and seeing the vast sea, the boy’s enthusiasm faded and he felt a little bored. If you are bored, you have to find something to do, so Su Qingze and Gu Changfeng are studying martial arts while learning foreign languages from William.
“Hello, Gu Mo Ning is good morning, and Auntie Seru is good afternoon…” Su Qingze took a small notebook and wrote down the daily expressions he learned.
Shen Yanbei glanced at his little book and couldn’t help being amused. William wrote him English with a quill pen, he copied it down himself, and added the Chinese phonetic notation at the end, which was exactly the same as some of his classmates in elementary school!
The days on the boat were too unconvenient to do other things. Shen Yanbei could only sleep honestly with Gu Changfeng with his arms around at night, and when he became frustrated, he went to William to discuss the development of science and technology in various countries, or get rid of These small inventions distracted, and by the way made the flags and cards.
Now these few people are not boring!
Su Qingze and Ming’an William like to play cards, Gu Changfeng and Zhou Yu like to fly the flag, and wait until Fengshui Port, Shanghe County, the few people still have fun.
“Hiss! It’s cold!” As soon as he got off the ship, a cold wind blew, Shen Yanbei couldn’t help but shrank his neck, and the next moment his hands warmed, Gu Changfeng held his cold hand to pass the internal force.
Shen Yanbei’s body was warm immediately, turning his head back and smiling slightly at those dark eyes, and firmly squeezed the warm palms in his hands.
Right now is when the ice is melting and the snow is melting, the wind is cold and the water is cold, and the chill is bitter. For the first time, a few native southerners have seen such a cold winter. But this is not a problem at all for Gu Changfeng and An eleven, who have deep internal strength.
Gu Changfeng was okay. An eleven was still dressed in black. After anti-sickness training, he seemed to have become more indifferent. Standing fearless in the cold wind, William couldn’t help but sigh.
Mrs. Wei was considerate and prepared many things for Su Qingze for the winter. Covered in the snow-white mink fur cloak, the young man showed only a small red face, with a delicate hand stove in his hand, and brocade boots with cloud patterns and bamboo under his feet, and he looked like a little boy from a rich family.
As soon as the group went ashore, a servant greeted him: “I have seen the son, the carriage is ready, do you want to set off immediately?”
“Find a place to rest for a night.” After drifting on the sea for so long, and finally being able to get down to earth, I have to find a bed and sleep on the ground. the most important is……
What an occasion to eat hot pot on such a cold day!
So after confirming their identities, several people got on an extremely spacious and luxurious carriage and went into the city to find a place to eat. When Shen Yanbei went north this time, besides coming to participate in Chunwei, he was planning to do something else, so he brought a lot of dried chilies to make a hot pot.
After eating and drinking, asked Xiao Er to take a good bath on the water. Shen Yanbei threw the person on the bed refreshingly, licking around Gu Changfeng’s neck like a big dog: “Chang Feng Chang Feng…”
Gu Changfeng, whose heart was trembling when he called, his face was red and hot, and said dumbly: “You, you lighten up…”
“Okay!” Shen Yanbei, who got permission, bit his sensual apple with red eyes, and couldn’t wait to cover the tight and generous place with his hands…
The next day, the people who had a good night’s sleep set off again, and finally arrived in Yongjing when the sky was about to darken.
Looking at the majestic and majestic city wall, several people were a little excited.
“Oh, my God! This is definitely the most impressive building I have ever seen! Look at the bricks on the wall, thick and gorgeous, every seam seems to be depicted with silver sand, it is simply art!” William sent out a bard like a bard The admiration.
The carriage was about to pass through the tall and majestic city gate. The guard in armor stopped the carriage with a sword in his hand. The servant who drove the carriage showed a token. The guard was surprised and hurriedly withdrew the sword and gave way respectfully.
About half an hour later, the servant sent a few people to a house: “Here, please get out of the car.”
“Thank you!” Su Qingze thanked him politely, and under the leadership of his servant, he entered the Sanjin Mansion named Zhao Mansion.
In the cold twilight, the tall man stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes as deep as a pool calmly looking into the distance. Ye Feng gently raised his wide sleeves, and the man’s face was stern, with an unangered and mighty spirit.
Hearing the sound of several people’s footsteps, the man was slightly moved, and slowly turned around——
