Jia Huan suddenly returned, much to the delight of the Bennet family.

Mrs. Bennet hugged Jia Huan and called herself "baby".

This kid is too much of a face-saving kid for her.

Speaking of his daughter becoming a friend of the princess and being able to enter the palace every week to accompany the princess, the people around him were envious, which greatly satisfied Mrs. Bennet's vanity.

Therefore, seeing that Jia Huan was still dressed as a man and straddled a horse like a man, Mrs. Bennet did not say anything.

Mrs. Bennet told Mrs. Hill to prepare a sumptuous meal to celebrate Catherine's homecoming.

The other sisters gathered around Jia Huan and asked him about the palace and Princess Victoria.

They are very yearning for high society and very curious.

Jia Huan gave them a brief account of the things in the palace, and in fact, she wrote to her family every week, in which she already wrote a lot about the palace and Victoria.

She even helped to find a governess who could teach the girls court etiquette, and sent them to Longborn, where she taught the Bennet girls for a while.

No way, the remuneration of such a tutor is too high.

The governess taught at the Bennet house for three months.

The eldest and second daughters of the Bennet family were very intelligent, and three months was enough time for them to learn all the court etiquette.

As for proficiency, it's up to them to practice on their own.

There are two young girls left who can study with their older sisters.

Therefore, the demeanor of the four girls in front of Jia Huan now was very elegant, which made Jia Huan a little surprised.

That babbling Lydia has become elegant?

It's incredible.

It's not that he's prejudiced against Lydia, but that Lydia really has four troublesome masters.

Jia Huan has never associated elegance with Lydia.

The family had a hearty dinner.

After dinner, Jia Huan followed Mr. Bennet to his study.

Jia Huan told the truth about his going to sea.

Mr. Bennet did not speak for a long time.

It was a long time before Mr. Bennet spoke: "Since you have decided, I will not say anything. This path is your own choice, so go for sure. I will support you. As for your mother, it's better not to let her know what you're doing. ”

Jia Huan nodded in agreement.

"When it comes to going to sea, only Princess Victoria, Colonel Herwell, and my father and I know about going to sea."

Mr. Bennet is a little flattered, he has a secret in common with the two big men!

Mr. Bennet looked at the fourth daughter with a responsible look in his eyes.

This daughter is really different from being a child for her.

She is not the shame of the Bennet family as others think, on the contrary, she may become the glory of the Bennet family.

Jia Huan stayed in Longborn for half a month, accompanying Mrs. Bennet and the sisters.

Because she was not yet of social age, she was unable to attend the prom.

Those who were curious about her all came to Bennet's house to see Jia Huan in the name of visiting.

There are many people in the Bennet house every day, chattering and noisy.

Mr. Bennet could not stand the atmosphere and spent most of his time in his study.

He only comes forward when a man comes to visit.

Half a month later, Jia Huan couldn't wait to leave Longborn.

Damn, those passionate women are terrible!

Back in London, Jia Huan came to his ship and found that the crew was almost ready, only ......

"Captain, I have contacted a fruit merchant and ordered a batch of lemons from him. But someone bought the lemons before we did. Davis, who was appointed by Jia Huan as the first officer, said dejectedly, "We have to stay for a while before we can go to sea." ”

At this time, everyone already knew that if you can't eat vegetables and fruits containing vitamins during long-term sailing, you will get scurvy.

Therefore, the navy's standard configuration is that all ships are loaded with lemons, and other people who go to sea will also prepare a large number of lemons before going to sea.

Jia Huan: "No, sail according to the plan." ”

Davis: "But ......"

Jia Huan: "Let people buy tea, vegetables, and soybeans." ”

Davis: "But tea is too expensive, and vegetables can't be stored for a long time. ”

Jia Huan: "I have a way to store vegetables for a long time, you find a few people, and I will teach them that method." ”

Davis felt that Jia Huan was unreliable, but who called Jia Huan the captain, he could only find a few clever people to meet Jia Huan, and then asked people to buy some vegetables.

Jia Huan took those few skillful people and began to make kimchi.

Others: "......"

Well, this method seems to really allow vegetables to be stored for a long time.

They are very attentive to learning how to make kimchi.

In fact, there are not too many skills in this at all, Jia Huan demonstrated it, and these people learned it.

After Jia Huan taught them how to make kimchi, he taught them to sprout bean sprouts.

Looking at the sprouts that grew, the eyes of these people were straight.

Davis, who heard the news and ran to watch, also straightened his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at Jia Huan with admiration.

The boy is so young but knows so much, no wonder he can become a captain.

Jia Huan waved to the crew: "Let's go!" ”

"Let's go!"

The crew responded loudly, and the ship set sail.

Jia Huan held the teacup and tasted the tea in small sips.

Tea is very expensive, so it is bought very little, only enough for Jia Huan to drink alone.

There was no way, Jia Huan's other money was used to buy goods shipped to the East.

The money he has accumulated over the years is very small, and part of the money to buy goods is supported by Victoria, and part of it is given to Jia Huan by Mr. Bennet, and Jia Huan and Mr. Bennet share half of the money earned.

When they arrived in the ancient country of the East, they bought more tea leaves there, and distributed some tea leaves to each of the crew members, so that they could drink a cup of tea every day.

It is better to buy some more persimmon leaves.

The amount of vitamins contained in persimmon leaves far exceeds the content of tea, and it is a nautical necessity that is better than lemons.

It's a pity that people don't know about it at this time.

Along the way, it can be regarded as smooth.

During this period, there were two storms, but they were not big, and with the sturdiness of the warship, it was naturally safe.

They also encountered pirates, but they were easily defeated.

The crew of this ship is not ordinary sailors, they are all retired navy, and they have a lot of experience in naval operations.

In addition, the warship was equipped with artillery, and those pirates came to deliver food, but they were robbed by Jia Huan and them.

They also rescued several merchant ships that were facing pirates.

The owner of the boat was very grateful to Jia Huan, sent him a generous gift, and asked to follow Jia Huan and their boat for protection.

None of these ships were loaded with opium, so Jia Huan naturally did not refuse them.
