In the last month of the twenty-fourth year of Linde, it was the coldest time, Qin Fei and Cai Wei left Xiangshan and took a boat to Quanzhou.

Cai Wei's illness was almost better at this time, but Qin Fei was still afraid that she would be tired after walking a few more steps, and he was afraid that she would freeze her, so he wrapped her tightly, whether it was on the carriage or the boat, he directly held her in his arms and walked on her behalf.

Cai Wei had asked Qin Fei long before leaving, but there was something wrong with the Tartars who were about to hit eastern Zhejiang or Quanzhou, so they had to rush back to Quanzhou.

Qin Fei just smiled and gave an extremely simple reason, "It's just that Quanzhou is far warmer than here at this time, Imperial Doctor Miao said, you are now weak in qi and blood, and you are most afraid of cold, so it is appropriate to live and recuperate in a warm place in the south." If it weren't for the fact that you were too weak to withstand the rough sea, I would have wanted to take you back to Quanzhou at the beginning of winter. ”

Cai Wei didn't believe his rhetoric, but Qin Fei didn't tell her anything about it now. Whether she asked whether Emperor Lin De, who fled to Yunnan, was really captured by the Tartars, or what happened to King Lu in Hangzhou, and the Lu Jianguo in Taizhou, did the Tartars send troops to attack?

Qin Fei didn't know anything about it, and made up his mind not to tell her anything. was really asked by her ruthlessly, and she just replied to her, "Now that the country is fighting gold, how can I have the spare time not to be busy with business, and patronize you wholeheartedly?" You just need to recuperate in peace, you have your husband in everything! ”

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Cai Wei would rather bear all kinds of hardships by herself than share them with her, so she had to sigh and never ask anything more as he wished. Just focus on recuperating your body.

It's just that she used to be a busy person, but now that she is idle and has nothing to do, she can really be bored to death.

She was still sick when she was not well, anyway, she was not in good spirits at that time, and she spent more time asleep and less time awake every day. But later, my condition gradually improved, and I had more waking hours every day, so I couldn't help but feel that I had nothing to do and was bored for a long time.

Before she didn't help Director Qin Fei, her biggest pastime was reading, but now, whenever she finally got the book in her hand, it would not be long before Qin Fei took it away in the name of bothering her eyes.

Let's play the piano, if you can't play it for a while, Qin Fei will run over and say that she is afraid that her hands hurt and let her rest.

In the end, she was even bored enough to be a female celebrity, but as soon as she took out the needle, the thread was not strung up, and she was taken away by Qin Fei, and said with a smile that she was afraid that she would not practice female celebrity for a long time, and it would be bad if the needle pierced her hand.

So she could only tease the thrush birds that Qin Fei specially got for her every day, the little white cat, and a tank of goldfish to relieve her boredom. In fact, there is not much work left for her to tease birds and cats in a day, not even an hour, because most of the time His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan is personally relieving her boredom, or telling her jokes, or telling her all kinds of strange people and strange things that she encountered during her previous wanderings.

Qin Fei is very eloquent, no matter what he says, she loves to listen, but she is afraid that he will spend all his time with her, and she will have to sleep a few hours less to take care of business in secret, so she drove him to the cubicle, where she only watched the cats play and chat to relieve her boredom.

She thought that she was in Quanzhou, and what was waiting for her was still such a boring and boring day, but she didn't want to, before she arrived in Quanzhou, Qin Fei gave her a huge surprise first.

Although she was not seasick, she was bumpy on the sea at the beginning of her recovery from a serious illness, and she was easily tired in the end, so she fell asleep in Qin Fei's arms very early every day, and woke up very late in the morning.

But she didn't want to wake up that day and see that except for the person next to the pillow or Qin Fei, the bedding and house furnishings were not what they looked like when she fell asleep the night before.

Qin Fei looked at the surprise in her eyes, and first leaned up and kissed her a few times, before she said with a smug face: "I've been bored on the boat these days, how about we play on this Yingzhou Island for a few days and then go to Quanzhou?" ”

Cai Wei was even more surprised, and all the surprises in her eyes turned into surprise.

She happily hugged Qin Fei's neck and said, "But let's get this Yingzhou Island back?" ”

It turns out that this Yingzhou Island belongs to the country built by the Central Plains in all dynasties, and it is called Daoyi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is called Yizhou in the Three Kingdoms, and it is called Yingzhou after the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty. The scenery of the island is beautiful, the things are rich and beautiful, but unfortunately because of the decline of the Yan and Qin countries, the Xiyi countries have been exploring the ocean, this treasure island was actually occupied by the foreign hairs of the Nilan country with strong ships and cannons, and all the land and property were taken for themselves, and all kinds of exploitation of the people.

The first time she went to Quanzhou, she had told Qin Fei that if Zheng Yihu went to the West to bring back enough gold, silver, and guns, and waited for them to build a fleet, the first thing she would do was to drive away the Nilan people who occupied Yingzhou Island and recover Yingzhou Island.

Now, Qin Fei brought her to this island with a look of invitation, and said that she would play here for a few days, but she didn't expect that after just over two years, their big dream that day had already come true.

Qin Fei picked her up from the bed, walked to the window, opened a window, pointed to the one hundred and ten warships moored in the harbor outside the window, and said, "That's our naval fleet, is the lady still satisfied?" ”

He was answered with a sweet, soft and fragrant kiss.

It's a pity that he hasn't enjoyed it enough, and the lilac tongue that he loves has already retired. He wanted to be anti-guest and linger for a while, but when he heard Cai Wei's breathing, he was already a little short of breath, so he had to reluctantly let go of her lips and tongue.

Cai Wei looked at him with a pair of bright eyes and said, "I remember that Brother Zheng and the others only tried to go to the Western Ocean for the first time more than two years ago, but I didn't expect that after a few round-trips, we would be able to build such a fleet?" ”

Qin Fei closed the window, straightened her long hair that was blown by the wind, and said with a smile: "It's not that my father-in-law's "Chronicles of the Sea" is accurate, which has helped us a lot." However, Zheng Yihu and your cousin of the Wu family are indeed talents, although the foreigners are unwilling to sell ships and guns to us, but the two of them did not know how to get some of the foreigners' shipbuilding drawings and gun-making notes. ”

"And on their way back, they stumbled upon several Yi countries on another continent, which were rich in gold and all kinds of precious stones, and for the first time they saw our silk porcelain and some of the things of the Xiyi people, all of which were regarded as treasures, and were very generous with their dealings. Although they have not been to the West many times, the profits they have gained are tens of millions. ”

"It's a pity," Qin Fei blinked, "In order to build ships and cannons, drive away the foreigners and recover Yingzhou, the money earned is almost spent." ”

"My husband is so capable, even if he spends more money, he will come back after his daughter is gone."

Qin Fei nodded the tip of her nose, "Since you know that your husband is capable, you don't need to worry about me all day in the future, right?" ”

Cai Wei pursed her lips and smiled, if she really didn't worry about him at all, I don't know how he would play a child's temper?

She suddenly remembered that Zheng Yihu and Wu Chongneng had obtained the drawings and notes of shipbuilding and guns from Westerners, but what should have been written on them should be foreigners' words, how did they read and create them?

But when she asked Qin Fei again, Qin Fei sold Guan Zi, saying that this was the second surprise he gave her.

When they played on Yingzhou Island for five days and returned to Quanzhou, Cai Wei finally understood what Qin Fei's so-called second surprise was.

She never imagined that returning to Quanzhou this time was not only a revisit to the old place, but also a reunion of old friends.

On her first visit to Quanzhou with her father, she spent several days at the home of his close friend, a missionary couple from Zealand, and was very close to their only daughter, Mary.

When she and Qin Fei came to Quanzhou for the second time after their marriage, and visited the missionary couple's residence, they learned that they had left Quanzhou two months earlier and returned to Zealand, and would never return.

She thought that after that, the sea and the sky would be separated, and unless she went to Sealand, she would never see their family again, and she didn't want her friend from Zealand to return to Quanzhou.

It turned out that after Zheng Yihu and the others arrived in Sealand, the translator they found happened to be this Miss Mary. Soon after she returned to Sealand with her parents, her father died of illness, and it was precisely because his father knew that he would die soon that he returned to his homeland with his wife and daughter.

After she lived with her mother for two years, her mother also went, she didn't want to support herself by marrying a man casually, so she went to work as a tutor, fortunately the town where she lived was near the harbor, so she could be found to be Zheng Yihu's translator.

She has always missed the good times in Quanzhou, and now that her parents are dead, she is the only one left to worry about, so after giving Zheng Yihu and them a translator for more than a month, she simply jumped on the boat back to Quanzhou, planning to return to Quanzhou to continue her mission. However, instead of the Catholicism preached by her father, it was a different doctrine, that men and women were created equal, and that women should have the same rights as men that belonged to them but were denied.

This doctrine has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the women of Sealand, which is the biggest feeling after Miss Mary returned to Sealand, but on the other side of the sea, in the vast land of Daqin, there are still thousands of women who still respect men, feel that they are inferior and inferior people, regard what "three obedience and four virtues" as a matter of course, still subordinate to men, and beg for a life in their hands.

So she wanted to go back to Quanzhou, because she was also black-eyed and black-haired, and she had half Qin blood, and she wanted to do something for her female sisters in this land.

Thanks to her arrival, Cai Wei was finally rescued from the boredom and emptiness and loneliness of recuperation.
