One day, when Yuan Yizhi entered this cabin at the hour he was used to on weekdays, he greeted Yu Moji, who had been squatting in it for a long time, as usual, and then added lightly, "I'll be gone in a few days." ”

When Yu Moji heard this, he blurted out, "I'm leaving again." ”

Her heart flickered through many vague memories. In Aige, in the Cardinal, in Qiongmen County, and even on the Jiayuan River, which belongs to Chai Jingliu, it seems that she always has to face Yuan Zhizhi's sudden farewell.

Yuan Zhiqi said, "How is it 'again'?" ”

“…… It's nothing. Yu Mojin smiled faintly and said, "I just feel that you are always busy running around, general, and you can't stay in one place for long, and then you have to go to the next place." ”

"As officials of the Empire, we can't help it." Yuan Pingzhi's smile was a little helpless, "So this time I have to entrust you to accompany Jingliu for me." ”

Yu Moji was stunned for a moment, and said, "What, I still want to stay here?" ”

Yuan Pingzhi was also stunned, and said, "Otherwise?" In this current situation, do you still want to go back to the imperial capital? ”

Yu Mojin pulled her hair embarrassedly, her heart was indeed like this, what could she do when she returned to the imperial capital at this moment? The current situation in the imperial capital is now the bleakest moment. When she was in the Privy Council, she had heard from a few familiar reservists that any aspiring female officer might want to go to a more remote place as soon as possible.

The meaning of everyone may be that out of the feet of the Son of Heaven, the women may be able to avoid the impact of the eldest princess's case and find a little freedom to some extent.

However, Yu Mochen himself was born in a remote mountainous area, and he knows the status of women in these areas very well. The women of the imperial capital have so much power and freedom, what can these female officials do if they go elsewhere?

However, she does have the convenience of "remote areas" now. Because she lives on the Jiayuan River, she will not be disturbed by the policies of the Great Qi Empire, and she can concentrate all her thoughts on the study of Yanjia that she loves, and there is even a capable senior like Yuan Yizhi who can discuss it. However, how many people in the entire empire can have such luck?

Yu Mojin sighed softly and said, "The general is right. It's better for me to stay here. It's not that she doesn't know where she is at the moment. However, as soon as she thought that Yuan Pingzhi was about to leave, she stayed in Chai Jingliu's fleet, and a lot of embarrassment suddenly arose in her heart.

Before she could fully figure out the source of the embarrassment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

As soon as Yu Moji heard it, he knew that it was Chai Jingliu who came. Probably because of some peculiarities in the shoes, Chai Jingliu's footsteps are more crisp than ordinary people, and she walks briskly, with a pleasant sense of rhythm, so it is easy to recognize. Unlike Yu Moji, her old habit for many years is that when she walks, she always seems to be afraid of disturbing others, and it is rare to make a little sound.

Because of the sound of footsteps in advance, when Chai Jingliu walked in with her skirt, Yu Moji and Yuan Pingzhi's eyes had already looked at her together.

Chai Jingliu pursed his lips and smiled slightly, moved the bench that Yuan Yizhi gave up and sat down, and then said, "I'm afraid that you can't explain clearly, I want to come and go, but I still think it's time to come over." This is said to Yuan Zhizhi. She added, "Didn't bother you, did you?" As soon as this sentence came out, the remaining ink marks were also counted.

Yuan Pingzhi smiled, "As long as you are willing to come, you can come at any time." Yu Moji also nodded quickly on the side. If she remembered correctly, the place where they were now was originally Chai Jingliu's boat.

Chai Jingliu said, "I see that Moji is very restrained on weekdays, but I'm afraid that as soon as you leave, she will be even more reluctant to talk more." ”

As she spoke, her smiling gaze turned towards the ink marks. Yu Mojin lowered his head embarrassedly at this gaze, and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing Sister Jingliu." I actually...... Actually, it's quite noisy. ”

Chai Jingliu shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "How can you bother." "Why isn't Yu Moji's heart disturbing? She just felt that she was being disturbed every moment when she stayed here. In front of Yuan Pingzhi, they at least had Yan armor to discuss, and it seemed that she was still somewhat useful; As soon as Chai Jingliu came, Yu Moji immediately felt that he was redundant.

But people are interested in helping her, and with such affection, Yu Moji has no choice but to bear it.

The undercurrent in Yu Moji's heart is surging, and Chai Jingliu has already begun to explain the "aftermath" for Yuan Zhizhi, "After you leave, this ship will be yours." I've heard you know how to use the ship's wedge, don't you? ”

Yu Mozhen nodded, while recalling when he had told Yuan Pingzhi about Yi Xiaozhi teaching her about the water machine. She couldn't remember it clearly, but Yuan Zhizhi still remembered.

Chai Jingliu said, "Although this ship is not big, there are also two guys in the bilge, who are responsible for controlling the Yanji in shifts. If you think something is wrong, just call them. I don't have anything left on this ship anyway, and it's rare to come here once on a week. If someone from our big ship wants to come and get something, I will tell them to tell you first. ”

She seemed to have the attitude of completely planning to hand over the ship to Yu Moji, and Yu Moji could only keep thanking him.

Chai Jingliu thought for a while, and then said, "You are here alone, and you are probably very bored." When you want to come to play on the big boat, set off a small firework, and I'll send someone to pick you up. As she spoke, she showed a reassuring smile that was exactly the same as Yuan Pingzhi's, "It's not troublesome, don't be afraid of life." ”

Yu Mochen hurriedly said, "Don't bother my sister, I can also row a small sampan myself." ”

"Oh?" Chai Jing showed a surprised expression, and turned his face to Yuan Pingdao, "I heard you say before, Xiaoyu is not very good at water. In fact, people still have some skills. ”

Yuan Pingzhi smiled and said, "The speed of Xiaoyu's progress has always been faster than I imagined. ”

Hearing this, Yu Moji smiled in response.

There was a hint of bitterness in this smile. She had fallen into the water several times before, and she was in danger every time. Especially when she was near Gyeonggi Port, she easily hugged a floating plank, and she had to wait for others to save her, and she was very ashamed, and since then, she has learned the skill of sampan with great effort.

It's just that after she mistakenly killed Xu Fuzi near Fenglongtan, she almost never went into the water again, and when she came to the Jiayuan River, she only obeyed Yuan Pingzhi's arrangement in everything, and never had a chance to show her hand in front of Yuan Pingzhi.

Chai Jingliu held his cheeks and thought for a long time, and confirmed with Yuan Zhizhi again and again, there was nothing more to explain, before Shi Shiran stood up. She walked to the door, but turned around again, and said, "I wanted to wait for him to leave, and then tell you in private, but now that I think about it, it might be better to say it sooner......"

Yu Mochen was shocked, could it be that there was something that made Chai Jingliu misunderstand?

Chai Jingliu said, "I have heard a little bit about your life experience. ”

Yu Mochen was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, and didn't know what to say.

Chai Jingliu glanced at Yuan Pingzhi, then turned his gaze back to Yu Moji, and said, "You don't have to blame Yuanzhi, he really cares about you." ”

Yu Mojin shook his head and said, "How could I blame General Yuan...... Besides, my background is no secret. ”

Chai Jingliu looked into her eyes, and the tenderness in her eyes almost wrapped the ink marks in it, "My parents passed away very early, and there is no one close to me except for them. I saw you this time, but I liked it very much. It is said that you have always talked little, but I think you obviously have a lot of thoughts, but you just hold back the words in your heart. Since you call me sister, you might as well treat me as a sister. If there's something in your heart, you might as well bring it out and talk to me. Let's get together, and life on this boat will be better. ”

She reached out to help a few strands that flew out of her bun, and said, "Don't look at me as busy on weekdays, in fact, there are always only some things on the ship, and many times, I am just busy with nothing." There is always time for small talk. If you want to come to me, come to the big ship at any time. ”

Yu Mozhen was a little moved by these words, and hurriedly said, "I remember." ”

She has been on the Jiayuan River for many days, and she has rarely been to Chai Jingliu's big boat, and she has rarely interacted with Chai Jingliu himself, so there is no way to judge how much truth there is in these words. But when Chai Jingliu was willing to say these words to her, he already showed great intentions.

Yu Mojian thought about it now, and also understood why Chai Jingliu was busy with a small sampan. What she told was only small things, and these things may not be clear to Yuan Yuanzhi himself. She only came to make Yu Moji more comfortable.

In front of Chai Jingliu's mind, Yu Moji couldn't help but bury the little thoughts about Yuan Pingzhi in his heart a little deeper.

The days after Yuan Zhizhi left were indeed a lot more boring. With Yu Moji's current ability, when he encounters a problem, he doesn't have to rely on it to solve it. It's just that without Yuan, she is more or less unaccustomed to it.

She also rarely goes to the big ships. Every time Chai Jingliu has something new on his side, he will also ask someone to send a message to inform Yu Moji, and sometimes even invite him personally. However, Yu Moji himself is a cold character, and there is no way to play with strangers wearing masks. When she went, she drank and then got drunk and rowed her own sampan back to the boat. After a few times, Chai Jingliu was afraid of putting pressure on her, so she still called someone to inform her, but she didn't force it anymore.

Most of the time, Yu Moji was looking through Yuan Jianzhi's collection of books and notes; For a small part of the time, she will go down to the cabin and personally operate the ship's Yanji, so as not to lose her hands and only have the ability to write. Although the ship is small, it has many interesting contraptions. These things may be the result of the cooperation between the shipguards in Chai Jingliu's fleet and Yuan Pingzhi, and there are all kinds of techniques from the Cardinal that Yu Moji is familiar with, as well as some more daring designs, which Yu Moji feels is worth learning.

Although these things are not exactly the same as the knowledge that Yi Xiaocheng taught her in the past, they also have some similarities, for example, they all embody the shipbuilding philosophy of saving manpower and materials. In the Great Qi Empire, those who can afford to use the Yanji but are so stingy are probably the only families who have been stretched thin for nine days on the Jiangshan ship.

However, even the Great Qi Empire, which claims to be rich in national use, may not need such technology now.

It is almost a well-known fact that the output of Chitose Gold cannot keep up with demand.

In recent years, the number of gold burning items in the homes of the aristocracy has not decreased, but the number of machines that can be used by the people has not increased on a large scale. Under the same pressure, the Great Qi Empire's proud Yanjia army was also subject to more and more restrictions, if it were not for the fact that the Northern Liang and Dongyi had been leveled in the early years, and the Western Liang had been nearly stabilized, the undertone of this army's overstretched would have been revealed. As for works like Xuantian Blazing Sun, which can occupy a place in the history of Yanjia Studies, they have long been shelved; If the current situation continues, I am afraid that there will be no chance of seeing the light of day again.

But what if the Xuantian Blazing Sun didn't cost a thousand years of gold like that?

If the frugality-oriented technology of the Jiangshan ship is combined with the profound Yanjia science of the Great Qi Empire, will it be possible for these works, which have cost countless resources and wisdom, to return to the battlefield? Is it possible to further expand the scope of the use of the Yanji, even in a poor place like Aige, women can have a suitable Yanji to rely on, and no longer have to be a cow and a horse for men?
