Lao Zhu is cruel, and he didn't even leave the last chance to celebrate the New Year with his daughter, and as soon as Bi Lin's boat docked at the dock, Yuan Sheng welcomed her into the palace with a large number of people.

Ma Du and Song Shuang wanted to enter the palace to take a look, but Lao Zhu sent Yuan Sheng to pick people up, "The county lord of Fengyang is the pearl of my palm, and you can see it if you want to see it, and there is no duty to be a courtier, so don't hurry up!" ”

Yuan Sheng arched his hand after speaking, "I offended Uncle Guo, and the slave and maid are also speaking for the emperor, can you hold a grudge against the slave and maid." ”

"What's so strange about the king scolding his courtiers, and he won't hold a grudge against his father-in-law." Ma Du pulled Yuan Sheng aside, "Why did the emperor reward Bi Lin like this?" This brainless person still hopes for his father-in-law's advice. ”

"Uncle Guo, then you can ask the wrong person, the power of heaven is unpredictable, where can a slave and a eunuch find out!" Yuan Sheng knocked the back of Ma Du's hand with his hand, "The slave can only say that good things can't be bad, and I ask Uncle Guo to put his heart in his stomach!" ”

With Yuansheng's words, Ma Du was finally able to go home steadily, but without Bilin's house, the atmosphere was not as lively as in previous years. Fortunately, Lao Zhu still has a little human touch, and by the third day of the first lunar month, he finally let Bi Lin come back, and the family regarded the third day of the new year as Chinese New Year's Eve.

But after a few months, Ma Du suddenly felt that this girl had grown up again, not growing taller or fatter, but having a sense of sorrow between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, whether it was a lively banquet or gorgeous fireworks, she could not dilute it.

"After all, these bullets are not original, so they are afraid of getting damp, and they need to be wrapped in oiled paper when they are not in use."

"When you press the bullet, you have to do this, and if you push it a little harder, you will get stuck in it."

"The principle of this rifle and flintlock arquebus is the same, it is easier and more convenient to use, open the safety on the magazine, pull the bolt to load, and then you can pull the trigger and fire. When aiming, it is also a three-point line, you should know if you have used a flintlock pistol. ”

Ma Du carefully taught Bi Lin how to maintain and use the gun, and also took three glass wine bottles for her to test the gun, bang bang, three wine bottles were smashed in a row of three gunshots.

"Good hit, fast and accurate!"

Bi Lin shook the gun in her hand, "Tiger Father No Dog Daddy is a well-known marksman, so naturally the child can't lose your face." ”

Ma Du took the gun in her hand, "If you run out of insurance, you still use the muzzle of the gun at someone, and you have to mourn your old son tomorrow!" ”

"Huh...... Daddy would laugh. ”

Madu stretched out his hand to straighten her hair, "I'm relieved to see you smile." But there is something in my heart, what did the emperor say to you when I was in the palace? ”

"The emperor didn't say anything, the child just thought that he was about to part with his father's family, and he was inevitably sad and couldn't be happy."

"If you don't say that your father won't force you, my son will be an adult if he can bear it in his heart, but I am at ease with you. There are many people in the city and in the village who have put the lives of their sons and daughters and brothers in your hands, and you have to go and see them one by one, so that they can rest assured. ”

Bi Lin nodded solemnly, "The child understands, so I will go to the Zhuangzi first and thank you one by one." ”

The day of departure is coming, and there are still people who find Ma Du here to ask to go to Dongshengzhou with Bi Lin, and Ma Du is not surprised by the appearance of the Three Treasures.

He patted his chest and said, "Uncle Ma asked me to go to Dongshengzhou with Sister Bilin, and I will protect her for you." ”

Ma Du deliberately quipped, "You have been messing around with Xiao and Mid-Autumn Festival all day long, why did you suddenly switch to Bilin." Besides, Bi Lin has superb fists and feet, and when the time comes, it's not clear who will protect whom, so don't be a burden. Your stepfather has already arranged your future, so you can study in the academy well, and if you leave, I won't be able to explain it to him. ”

Sanbao came prepared, and first took out a letter from his sleeve, "The little nephew has long wanted to go to sea, but he was afraid that his father-in-law would not agree, so he went to Yunnan to write a letter." I received a reply today, and my father-in-law dared to come to my uncle because of his permission. ”

Then he took out a thick stack of manuscripts, "Actually, my nephew often secretly attends my uncle's navigation lessons, in addition to the textbooks written by my uncle, I also compiled a lot of knowledge about navigation, and I also have a lot of experience exchanging ideas with sailors."

I also practiced the balance beam for a long time in order to go to sea, and I stopped getting seasick for a long time. When you get to the sea, you won't drag Sister Bilin's hind legs, so my uncle promised the little nephew, the little nephew really likes the sea. ”

The Three Treasures have done this, where does Ma Du have no reason not to agree, and he has just registered the Three Treasures. I saw Uzhna pacing in the courtyard outside the window with a hesitant face.

Madu was about to call her, but she turned around and went out of the yard, and just as Madu was strange, she ran back again, still pacing outside the window.

Ma Du simply went out of the house and grabbed her in, and he said while undressing: "If you want to ride a horse, just say that there is something to be ashamed of the old husband and wife." ”

Who knew that Urina said: "I'm not here to ride a horse, I want to tell you that I want to go to sea and go to Dongshengzhou with Bilin." ”

Ma Du fastened the button and was stunned for a long time before saying, "You are going to go to Dongshengzhou with Bilin?" Why? ”

Uzhna pouted, "I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I'll miss her very much if Bi Lin leaves!" ”

"If you're gone, don't you want Minglin?"

Wu Rina stretched out two hands, one high and one low, in front of Ma Du, "I think Minglin is definitely not as much as Bilin, I am relieved to have Song Shuang take care of her for me." ”

"Then don't you want me? You're leaving, and I won't be able to ride with you in the future. ”

Unexpectedly, Urina said neatly: "I don't think much about it." ”

Looking at Urina's words, she already took into account Ma Du's feelings, and she couldn't force it any more, and Ma Du could only eat Bi Lin's vinegar over and over again, while sighing at her charm.

After all, the day of parting came, on the day when Erlong raised his head in early February, the river was sparkling, and more than 30 huge ships on the trestle were ready to go.

There are also a lot of people on the dock to see them off, and Lao Cui is telling his grandson to listen to the eldest lady more when he arrives on the boat, and the eldest lady will do whatever she wants. Lao Zhang handed over the waist knife that he had used for many years to his son, and told him to be sure to protect the eldest lady.

Guo Ying instructed his two sons to follow Bi Lin closely, and when they saw Jinshan Yinhai, they would take a share no matter what. Liao Yongan is also telling his two nephews to occupy more land and recruit more people when they go to Dongshengzhou, especially to have more children.

Xu Da admonished his son with a straight face, "When you settle down in Dongshengzhou, you will handle the marriage, the husband and wife must work together, you are a man and you have to take care of everything, don't be stubborn." ”

"Everything is with me, please rest assured that my father and father-in-law will only hope that the second elder will take care of his health and see you again in the next day!"

"Huizu is not a child again, what are you worried about. You two went on to say, I'll go tell Bi Lin a few more words! ”

Song Shuang whispered so much in front of Wu Rina for the first time, "Wu Rina, you can take good care of Bi Lin for me, don't let her go hungry or let her get sick, I also promise you to take good care of Ming Lin, and find her a rich and powerful husband who loves her in the future." ”

Urina nodded heavily, "I believe in you, and you have to believe in me!" ”

Ma Du said to Mrs. Xu, who was talking to Bi Lin: "Sister-in-law Xu, don't worry, Bi Lin will definitely think of sending a letter back when she has a baby, and I have found a doctor who gave birth to her." ”

Ma Du pulled out a young man from the crowd and said to Bi Lin: "His name is Xu Xiaoming, he is the youngest son of Imperial Doctor Xu, he has been in the army, he is proficient in gynecology and surgery, but I have trained him for half a year." He resigned from the military and went to sea with you, and in the future, if you have any injuries, you can only look for him. ”

The young man immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The grass people are willing to die for the county lord!" ”

"In the future, you will not be a grass people, but a medical officer of the county lord's mansion, go to the flagship." Bi Lin whispered to Ma Du again: "If the child really encounters a difficult birth in the future, will you look for him?" He's a man! ”

"Who cares about men and women at the moment of life and death, don't worry, I have passed on the skill of caesarean section to him, and he has also practiced on more than a dozen sows."

Bi Lin laughed angrily, "Daddy actually compares a child to a sow!" But the tears were already irrepressibly flowing, and she stood on tiptoe around Ma Du's neck, "The child is not filial, he can't bear the knees, and I hope that my father will take care of his body." ”

Madu patted her on the back and whispered in her ear: "Don't forget what I told you last night, if you want to return, remember not to go back the same way, when you come from Nanshengzhou in July every year along the monsoon current, this route is only known to you, my father and daughter."

And don't forget the map I showed you, if you have any problems, you can go to that lonely continent to ask for help and supplies, and report my name and a woman will help you. ”

"Well, is that Hawaii?"

"Yes, don't tell others, this is our family's last retreat!" Madu let go of Bi Lin and wiped her tears, "Okay, say goodbye to your mother and brothers and sisters and board the ship, any more stay will be sad." ”

With the sound of a bright whistle, one ship after another left the dock, and it was not until Bilin's ship completely disappeared that Madu took the binoculars down, and there were not many people left on the dock that was originally crowded.

He stretched out his hand to plug Song Shuang's binoculars, and everyone was far away, don't look at it anymore. Song Shuang took off the binoculars and pounded Ma Du's shoulder vigorously, "It's all your fault, why do they have to go to sea, I'm already panicking now!" ”

Mrs. Xu persuaded on the side, "Men's affairs are not something that we women can understand, so save some face for men outside." Let's go and stay at my house for a while, and I won't think about playing mahjong so much. ”

"My sister-in-law is still reasonable, and I will also go to your house to drink and have fun with Brother Xu to relieve the suffering of my daughter."

"Haha...... Okay, you will come to my house today without getting drunk or returning! ”

Xu Da beckoned several other nobles to return to the city together, the time was just past noon at the city gate of the crowd was endless, a few people's carriages and horses just entered the city, there was a team of brocade guards galloping head-on, to the side of the city gate on the reins of the horse to the guard of the gate ordered: "Close the city gate immediately, strictly prohibit anyone from entering and leaving, violators will be killed!" ”

Guo Ying is the biggest city gate official in Yingtian, so he naturally wants to ask, "What is the big thing going on, to close the city gate at this time, this is the time when there are the most people." ”

"It turned out to be Marquis Guo, you are the best here. Our Jinyiwei found evidence that Li Shanchang colluded with Hu Weiyong to conspire and rebel in his early years, and is arresting Li Shanchang's family and henchmen at the emperor's behest......"
