Chapter 124: Target Baghdad
"You're going out again? Or go out and be a pirate? You are the prince, you have a wife and children, what are you thinking about all day long? Did the old gods teach you crazy while imparting you rich knowledge? ”
Don't think about it, this anger is naturally Zhao Weiji's eldest wife Chai Yu, and now the only person in the entire Xinhua City who dares to spray Zhao Weiji so wildly is his eldest lady.
But this time, not only his eldest lady was angry at him, but even his second lady Li Nian, who was usually gentle and lovely, looked at him with a resentful expression, although she didn't say it, but it could be seen from her eyes that she was also very angry this time.
"Wife, listen to me, I didn't go out to be a pirate this time, I have important things to do." Although he said that he had important things to do, it could be guessed from his unconfident answer that he was actually preparing to really go out and get addicted to pirates.
I don't know if it's because I've been an otaku for too long in the previous life, although Zhao Weiji in this life can also stay at home quietly for a long time, but he can't stand the loneliness so much.
In this life, he always wants to run out, wants to do something different, and going to the battlefield, opening up new routes, and establishing North American colonies are all products under the influence of this thought, although these things are combined with Zhao Weiji's ultimate goal, but as a person who has crossed over, he actually has another way to achieve his ultimate goal.
In fact, after the establishment of Xinhua City, he already had the desire to go to the sea to become a pirate addict, because in his previous life, he watched a lot of various movies, among which the most profound influence on him was the Star Wars series, the Lord of the Rings series and the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
However, he doesn't think about the Jedi Warrior, and the magician is basically impossible, but the pirate addiction can be achieved after the crossing.
Especially when he arrived in North America and had a city of his own, and he could use this city to achieve a lot of things, his pirate dream burned even stronger.
But although the pirate dream burns more intensely, the reality is not so full, and the pirates in the movie are all suave single aristocrats. No pirate got married as early as Turner's second go.
But now Zhao Weiji is the second cargo Turner who has been married for a long time, and not only married, but also twice, and has three children.
The reality is such a backbone, although Zhao Weiji, who had a family very early, experienced a lot of warmth that single otaku in his previous life could not experience, but he also had an extra responsibility on his shoulders, which made him unable to run around as he wanted.
Otherwise, there will be a very bad end, at least being reprimanded by his wife is indispensable.
At the same time that he was being reprimanded by his wife, his three children were eavesdropping outside the study, not commenting on one or two.
"Dad was disciplined by Mom again." Zhao Teng said to his sister and sister after listening to it.
"Isn't that a common thing?" The third child, Zhao Xue'er, received it with a milky voice, and her words were full of contempt for her father.
Zhao Ling'er looked at the third child helplessly, and couldn't find a way to refute her, because Zhao Weiji was indeed too afraid of the inside, and his reputation for being afraid of the inside had spread throughout Xinhua City.
Although she couldn't refute the third child, she was still very interested in why her father was training Zhao Ling'er, so she urged Zhao Teng: "Second child, listen carefully, why this time?" ”
"Sister, you can call me brother, brother, brother, or even my name, but don't call me Erxing, this title sounds weird." For Zhao Linger to call him the second child, Zhao Teng always had an awkwardness that he couldn't explain.
But Zhao Ling'er didn't care so much, and then urged: "What's wrong with calling you second?" Aren't you the second child? Don't talk so much useless, go and listen to what's next. Dick. She actually added an accent to the word "second child".
Because Zhao Weiji is a daughter, Zhao Teng has no status at home even if he is the eldest son, at least after being bullied by his sister Zhao Ling'er, no one will help him out.
So Zhao Teng, who was hindered by his sister's obscenity, had no choice but to climb under the windowsill again and continue to eavesdrop on the follow-up conversation. Then after a while he was back among the sisters, only this time he came back with a different look of mourning than when he went, and his face was full of excitement.
"What's interesting to hear? As for the excitement? Did Dad do anything to die? Obviously, Zhao Weiji's children have not been influenced by his modern words, and Zhao Linger even knows how to die. However, it can also be seen that Zhao Weiji usually does not do any tricks to death.
"I don't know if it's a trick or not, but it seems that the reason why my mother is angry this time is because my father is going to go to the sea to be a pirate."
"Pirates? What is Pirate? The youngest Zhao Xue'er obviously didn't quite understand what a pirate was, "Why did the pirate mess with the big mother?" Since Zhao Xueer's biological mother is Li Nian, she calls Chai Yu her big mother.
"Pirate, didn't Dad tell you the story of pirates?"
Zhao Xue'er shook her head.
"Where did Dad tell you the story of a thousand and a hundred **?"
"The Story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp."
"No wonder."
The thousand and zero ** in the child's mouth is naturally the one thousand and zero**, in the process of raising children, pillow stories are of course indispensable, whether ancient or modern, whether Chinese or foreign.
And in this family, the person who takes on the task of telling the story next to the pillow is naturally Zhao Weiji, who has accumulated countless Chinese and foreign fairy tales over two lifetimes.
But due to the age difference between the three children, there is also a certain difference in the progress of the three children listening to the story, when Zhao Linger has begun to listen to Grimm's fairy tales, Zhao Teng is still listening to the story of twenty-four filial piety, and the youngest Zhao Xueer has not even finished listening to the story of one thousand and one thousand **.
And these two children who have listened to the story of a thousand and a thousand ** naturally know what a pirate is, but the pirate they know has a certain deviation in their understanding, because the pirate they know is the pirate in the adventures of Sinbad.
But it was because it was the pirate in Sinbad's adventures that Zhao Teng was so excited.
"Daddy really wants to be a pirate?" Hearing that Zhao Weiji was going to be a pirate, Zhao Linger was also excited.
"Yes, that's what the conversation says." Zhao Teng nodded honestly.
"Then you can listen to where you are going to be a pirate."
Because the old lady spoke again, Zhao Teng returned to the windowsill for the third time, and happened to hear what he wanted to hear at this time.
"Well, since you said you have important things to do, where are you going to go on this trip?" Chai Yu also knew that if her husband wanted to go to sea to be a pirate, no matter how much she reprimanded him here, that thing would still happen, so instead of making everyone unhappy, it would be better to let him go here and then reap some benefits or let him make some promises to go home early.
"Oh, I'm going out for a walk around Baghdad this time." Baghdad in Zhao Weiji's mouth is the future capital of Iraq, Baghdad, at this time Baghdad is one of the most important cities in the Middle East, not only an important port and commercial distribution center, but also the largest cultural city in the entire Middle East, with a large number of Eastern and Western academic culture gathered there.
Zhao Weiji wanted to take the opportunity of going to sea this time to go to Baghdad to get some Western academic works back, and of course it would be better if he could get some scholars back.
However, Zhao Weiji didn't expect that his words would be heard by his son. And thanks to a thousand and a thousand **, his eldest daughter and eldest son knew what kind of city Baghdad was, and were full of longing to go once.
"Sister, sister, the place where Dad went to pirate this time seems to be Baghdad." Zhao Teng, who came back this time, was even more excited than last time.
"Baghdad? That Baghdad? Zhao Ling'er was a little incredulous.
This time, even the youngest Zhao Xueer reacted: "Brother, is it the Baghdad in the story?" ”
"It should be."
"I want to go too." This completely hooked Zhao Linger's desire.
"Me too." Zhao Teng is the same.
Only Zhao Xue'er was not too interested: "Oh." ”
But at this time, the servant suddenly came to the study, and the three children could only leave quickly in order to avoid being discovered.
Just as they were leaving, the servant knocked on the door of the study, and then reported: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang asked to see him, saying that the ship has been transformed." ”
As soon as he heard that the ship had been transformed, Zhao Weiji immediately jumped out of his chair and immediately rushed out of the gate. But at this time, Chai Yu stopped him.
"Do you want to go? It doesn't seem like the matter is over yet, right? How long are you going to stay at sea? ”
As soon as he heard Chai Yu say this, Zhao Weiji's enthusiasm was like being poured a basin of cold water, and most of it was extinguished, because he suddenly found that his wife didn't seem to have done it yet.
So he could only tentatively say, "A year and a half? ”
"Huh?"
"One year and three months?"
"Huh?"
"A year?"
"Huh?"
"Ten months, no less, wife. If you don't have that time, you won't be able to do anything. ”
In fact, the bottom line in Chai Yu's heart is one year, but since the bluffed Zhao Weiji has lost two more months, then it can be regarded as earned, so she is ready to let Zhao Weiji go.
"Okay, ten months, you said, if you don't come back after ten months, you can figure out the outcome yourself. Now take us and see the new ship you're going to use to go to sea. After speaking, Chai Yu pulled Li Nian and left the study.
And Zhao Weiji became very happy after getting his wife's consent, so he immediately went to lead the way for the two wives.
