Chapter 513: Arrival in Beijing

"Let's go, let's go to the deck and watch the sunrise!" Liu Shi looked at the quiet dawn outside the building boat and proposed with great interest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sunrise after the storm, the kind of happiness, excitement and joy that lasts for the rest of the catastrophe, will benefit the children for the rest of their lives.

The children erupted in cheers, and without waiting for Peng Jin's orders, they groped their way to the side of the bed by the faint light of daylight.

Peng Jin also lit the candlestick at the same time.

The dim and warm candlelight filled the cabin in an instant, swaying with the ripple of the ship's hull, the candlelight flickering on and off, the light and shadow flickering and shortening, but the light that illuminated the room was never extinguished.

Nuan Nuan, Liu Zhan and Liu Che quickly got dressed, ran to the door, and kept stomping their feet to urge Liu Zhi and Peng Jin to hurry up, so as not to miss the sunrise after the storm.

Peng Jin smiled and handed the cloak to the three children and said, "Hurry up and put it on, let's go to the deck again." ”

The morning breeze on the sea in winter is cool, not to mention that after the storm, you must pay attention to keeping warm, so as not to catch a cold and get sick.

The three children took the cloak, put it on three times and two times, took Liu Shi and Peng Jin's hands, and dragged them all the way to the deck.

At this time, when the sea and the sky meet, a bright red glow has appeared, and the morning sun is about to jump out of the sea!

The family of five couldn't help but get excited, staring at the direction of the sunrise, for fear of missing a slight.

There was an intermittent sound of footsteps on the deck, and it was the others who had also come out to watch the sunrise.

This time, however, everyone did not greet each other politely, but all stood on the deck, quietly watching the sunrise in the east.

In the red glow that gradually faded, a huge bright red sunrise, little by little, slowly but firmly, until finally it leaped hard, picked out the sea, and rose.

The bright and brilliant light sprinkled on every corner of the world in an instant, plating the clouds, the sea, the seagulls, and even the people on the building ship with a layer of dazzling gold.

There was a burst of cheers from the deck, the cries of excitement and joy for the rest of the day.

"You see, the sun rises as usual, and it's a new day!" Liu Zhi pointed to the gorgeous rising sun on the sea, and whispered to Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che.

This is the second time that Liu Shi has said such things to them at sunrise, compared to the ignorance of the last time, this time the three children seemed to understand a little, looking at the rising sun, their little faces were full of contemplation.

Mr. Josephine, who came out of the wheelhouse, happened to see this scene, and he couldn't help but exclaim, as he didn't think it was a big deal:

The splendor of the asahi and the beauty of life!

The sea in the north was relatively calm in winter, and the group never encountered such a thrilling late-night storm as this one in the following trip.

Although there were occasional large storms, for those who experienced the storm firsthand, there was nothing to fear at all, and at most it was just an exclamation.

The journey was smooth, occasionally stopping at the port halfway to replenish, and at the beginning of the month, the group finally arrived at the port of Tianjin.

Abandoning the boat and landing on the shore, the group took a carriage and immediately rushed to the capital.

Emperor Taixi had already said when he decreed the canonization of Liu Zhi as Ning Anbo that after Liu Zhi returned to Beijing after his term of office, he would summon him to the palace to talk about resisting the Japanese and establishing an ocean-going sea caravan.

This is also the reason why Liu Shi agreed to see off Josephine's family in the first place, what if Emperor Taixi wanted to summon Mr. Josephine?

It's a rare opportunity!

However, this idea may not come to fruition, so Liu Shi did not disclose it to Mr. Josephine, lest the greater his expectations, the greater his disappointment.

It takes nearly 10 days to drive from Tianjin Port to Kyoto, and the northern winter is rainy and snowy, so it may take longer if you delay.

Anyway, they all had to rush to the capital in front of the sacrificial stove.

After the sacrificial stove, every family is busy preparing for the New Year, but I am afraid that Emperor Taixi will not be exempt from vulgarity.

Fortunately, it is rare to have a sunny day, even if there are occasional thick clouds covering the sun, they can avoid the wind and snow.

On the seventeenth day of the lunar month, the group finally arrived at the outskirts of the capital.

After getting off the boat, they hurried all the way, and everyone was a little overwhelmed by this time.

Adults say that children can't stand the fatigue of the long journey.

From Tianjin Port all the way to Beijing, it happened to pass through Daxing Grange in the southern suburbs, so Liu Shi decided where to rest and adjust for the time being, and then set off into the city the next morning.

Because Li Lao Er informed him one step in advance, when Liu Shi and the others arrived, although the people in the Grange were busy, they were still in order, which showed that Xu An was doing a good job.

Xu An and Lan'er, husband and wife, even ran to the outside of the grange to wait to greet each other, and when they saw the carriage and horses coming from a distance, the husband and wife ran over excitedly.

In the past six years, Liu Shi has been a laissez-faire official, and the couple had not yet married when they left, and now their third child has already run away.

And during this period, the couple only met a few times when Liu Shi returned to Beijing three years ago, when he went to the mansion to ask for peace.

Now, another three years have passed!

Time flies!

Because of this feeling, when she saw Peng Jin and the others again, Lan'er couldn't hold back any of them, and tears fell.

Knowing that Xiaomei married in Quanzhou and did not follow her back to Beijing, Lan'er was even more sad, and she couldn't stop her tears.

After Peng Jin promoted her, she handed her over to Xiaomei to take care of, speaking of which, Xiaomei can be regarded as her closest family in the world.

-- Peng Jin is the master, of course, he can't be counted among them.

Three years ago, Xiaomei came back from Honghe County with Peng Jin and others, and went to the Grange to give gifts to her first two children, and teased the children to call her aunt.

Think about this situation as if it was yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, the two are separated by the end of the world, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in this life.

Seeing this, Yunwu comforted Lan'er and said: "Xiaomei is well married, her husband is a showman, and he is still working as an errand in the yamen, and he has a great future in the future." When their family is developed in the future, maybe they will move to the capital to live for a long time! ”

Being able to gain a foothold in the capital is the dream of every eunuch.

Lan'er felt better when she heard Yunwu say this.

People, as long as there is a thought, there is no difficulty that cannot be survived!

Xu An also persuaded on the side: "As soon as the adults and the lady came back, you were crying and crying, what do you look like!" ”

Although it was a reproachful tone, it was full of concern.

Although Lan'er has been the mother of three children, and she has become much more calm and capable, she still has the arrogance of a little girl when facing Xu An, and complained coquettishly: "I'm not reunited after a long absence, I'm so happy, it's hard to help myself for a while!" ”
