It seems that I am still too full [travel]

After the two left, Han Ning and Xie Ju looked at each other in dismay, and it was Han Ning who explained his brother-in-law's outrageous behavior, "Hehe, this, sir and brother-in-law are brothers and sisters, and there is no restriction on each other, let you The old man laughed."

Although Xie Ju felt strange in his heart, he couldn't tell what was wrong after all, so he followed Han Ning's words and continued, "Shan Zhang and my elder brother are indeed very close on weekdays."

Back in the courtyard where the two lived, it was already late, the moon was rising in the east, and the sky and the earth were frosty and cold.Han Ji waved his hands and screened off the left and right attendants who were stepping forward to help, stepping on the thin snow, one step at a time, carrying him steadily into the room where Xie Shi lived, and gently placing him on the couch.At this moment, Mrs. Han also thoughtfully and timely sent someone to bring hangover soup. Han Ji fed the person to drink, then took the hot water and handkerchief from the attendant, and personally wiped Xie Shi's face, hands and feet.

During the period, Fenyuan, who was full of food and drink, was carried to sleep in the luxurious nest by the servants. Perhaps she heard the news of the owner's return, pulled her out of the nest, and was also a festive kitten wrapped in a red robe during the New Year. Trying to rely on his short legs, jumped onto the head of the bed, lay down on the edge of the pillow, and began to watch the two shit-shoveling officers.

Han Ji glanced at Fenyuan, but didn't chase her away.He knew that Xie Shi liked this kitten very much, and he didn't restrict her to bed on weekdays.The warm touch of the handkerchief awakened the drunken Xie Shi, he half-opened his eyes and stared at the person in front of him, not sure if he saw clearly.Seeing that he hadn't really woken up, Han Ji continued to wipe his hands, but was stopped by a pair of jade-like hands.

Han Ji looked up at him, and saw that the half-drunk man didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly struggled to get up from the couch, caught by the wide sleeves during his movements, staggered, and muttered: "This Ancient clothes are so troublesome..."Han Ji stretched out his hand to support him, but he held his arm, and the drunken beauty stood firm on the couch.

As the saying goes, looking at a beauty under the moon is a different situation. The posture of the beauty and the charm of the fairy are indescribable, especially when the beauty is still my sweetheart, it is enough to captivate the soul and turn thousands of emotions.

"Han Ji...Han Ji..." Xie Shi called out his full name.

Han Ji stood under the bed, supported him, raised his head slightly, and replied without any delay, "I'm here."

"I suddenly thought of a question!" The drunk said solemnly with half-closed eyes.

Even in this case, Han Ji didn't hesitate: "What's the problem?"

The drunkard staggered for a moment, stood firm and said, "That's right, I read a sentence in a book and thought it made sense!"

Seeing that his movements were unsteady, Han Ji adjusted his clothes, let him put his hands on his shoulders to stand up, and asked, "Well, what sentence is it?"

"He said that throughout history, most people who start a business together can't escape the ending of the 'four sameness', that is, help each other in the same boat, share the same bed with different dreams, and fight against each other in the same room... What else is there, oh yes, we will die together!"

Han Ji's movements stopped, he raised his head, looked at the person on the couch, and said softly, "Is this what Ah Shi has been worrying about?"

Xie Shi nodded slowly, then tilted his head to look at him again, his eyes were sly, like a little fox stealing fish, he smiled brightly at him, full of confidence, "However, now I want to understand, between you and me , it shouldn’t be to the point of dying together, right?”

Maybe he was drunk after finishing speaking, Xie Shi didn't wait for Han Ji's answer, he just grabbed his neck, leaned forward on the shoulder of the person in front of him and closed his eyes.

Han Ji hugged the man firmly, stroked the hair of the man in his arms with both hands, thoughtfully, and suddenly said something in a low voice.tease daughter-in-law

"Ah Shi said that if they miss out together, they can still share the same bed."

It's a pity that the person in my arms has already fallen asleep, so I can't answer him since I haven't heard this sentence.Fortunately, Han Ji didn't need an answer either.

----------

After the New Year's Eve, the celebrations in the first month became more and more day by day, and the common people paid homage to each other. The whole three lanes and seven alleys were filled with the noise of buying and selling, and the sound of firecrackers never stopped at night. Many families with night babies are troubled.

Dongcang Academy only started school after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Xie Shi, the head chef, was not in a hurry to go back to Le County to go to work. He asked for Xie Ju's opinion and learned that he was interested in inspecting the hotels and teahouses in Fuzhou. After learning from the scriptures and hearing that the Lantern Festival in Fuzhou is extremely grand and lively, the father and son planned to leave after the fifteenth day.

But even if Xie Shi wanted to leave, some people were unwilling to let him pat his ass and leave. After all, the "big basket" he made years ago still needs to be mended.

The door is open and wide, with fine points prepared, and tea is cooked in a red stove to entertain guests.

"The first crop of cherry pearls going north this year is probably here with you. This candied cherry pearl is indeed a tribute fruit, and it tastes very delicious." A rare fruit.This cherry used to be a tribute fruit, and the dynasties used it to worship the ancestral temple. Although it is available in the market today, it has to wait until the spring season, and it will be transported from the north along the Grand Canal to the south, and it will still be sold by the cherry. However, all the governments are scrambling to buy at high prices.

Like Xie Shi, there are not many that can be eaten at the beginning of the new year, not to mention receiving a basket at one time, and there is absolutely no second person, no wonder Cen Yu mentioned the above sentence as soon as he came.Xie Shi was afraid that such a good fruit would rot after a long time, so he simply processed it into candied fruit and jam with icing sugar.Fear of long-term storage is one reason. The biggest reason is that this type of cherry is not a "big cherry" introduced from Europe in later generations, but a "Huaguo cherry" native to China. The flesh is small and sour. Candied fruit is even more delicious.

After chatting, the two got to the point.Xie Shi asked: "Are you really going to explore the New World with the Shen family's fleet?" God knows how surprised he was when he heard the news. More than 100 years later, Columbus's "achievement" in discovering the New World was lost.

Cen Yu nodded. He came here to talk to Xie Shitong first, and the latter two had to meet with the Shen family to discuss the details of going to sea.When Shen Sen learned that the Cen family intends to cooperate with the Shen family to open up a new continent, he quickly packed his bags and returned to Suzhou by boat with the young man to invite his old man out of the mountain.

Such a large cooperation project is almost related to the long-term development of the Shen family in the next hundred years. Even if he is the eldest son, and this is a business that he negotiated with all his strength, but because Shen Sen is not yet the head of the family, the current head of the Shen family can only Come out and talk to Cen Yu.

Now that Xie Shi is a member of Han Ji's "rebel gang", he is naturally more concerned about going out to sea to find high-yielding grain seeds. In ancient times when there were no hot weapons, fighting in battle was actually more about logistics and food. Find sweet potatoes and other items from the American continent, then the step of conquering the world's "wide accumulation of grain" will be stable.

So he asked, "When are you going to set off?"

Cen Yu said: "Naturally, the sooner the better, if we can negotiate with the Shen family, and their ships and sailors can be dispatched, it is not impossible to set off in the spring of this year."

Xie Shi was taken aback, it's the first month now, it's less than two months at most, he asked puzzledly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Cen Yu took a mouthful of candied cherries and ate them cheerfully. Hearing this, he explained to him: "There is no rush, it has always been like this. If it is an ocean voyage, it usually starts in winter, and the beginning of spring is a bit late. Sailing is the smoothest."

Xie Shi understood, it turned out to be the case, but his understanding of navigation is only based on high school geography textbooks, so it is normal for him not to know these details.

Cen Yu screened back to the left and right before carefully taking out the map given by Xie Shi and unfolding it on the desk.This map was later perfected by Xie Shi. It is no longer just a simple seven continents and four oceans, but many islands in the oceans have been added.

Cen Yu pointed to a place on the map, and continued: "After discussing with several colleagues who are proficient in maritime affairs, the Lord decided not to take the risk of crossing the ocean directly to reach a new continent, but to proceed in three steps, first dispatch elite troops, and sail first. Arrive at the Ni country, and build a port and supply base here, as an outpost for Dongdu." Xie Shi saw that the country he was referring to was actually Borneo in Southeast Asia.

"The second step is to reach Oceania via the Ni country, and establish a new supply point on the eastern coast, preferably a city, as a springboard for the final eastward crossing of the ocean to reach the new continent." Speaking of this, Cen Yu After a pause, I asked Xie Shi a question, "By the way, why did Tanwei name this place 'Oceania'? But is there any special meaning?"

Xie Shi guiltyly picked up the passing Fenyuan cat cub, "Actually, it's just a casual name. This is a piece of land surrounded by oceans, so we call it Oceania."

Cen Yu glanced at him speechlessly, "Let me just say, Xie Tanwei, your naming level must have such a simple and straightforward meaning, but those colleagues insisted that there must be a deep meaning behind it, but they still disagreed. I ask the lord for a name."

Xie Shi didn't mind at all, anyway, this world is not even the same as China's history, and now it's completely changed by his butterfly wings, and it's not designated as the same plane, so Oceania doesn't have to be called Oceania, it can also be called "Oceania". Kangaroo Island.

"You say my name is bad, so what's your idea of ​​naming it, Cen Gu'an? Let me taste it."

"Although the name of Oceania is true, it is too general, has no symbolic meaning, and is not loud enough. According to me, since you, Tanwei, guided us to discover it, and the master ordered us to sail to the sea, then the day of landing on the island, this day The island should be crowned with the names of the two of you, why not call it "Timely Island" to show future generations! In this way, even after thousands of years, when people hear the name of the island, they will know that there is a love behind the name. exist."

Xie Shi took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, but managed to swallow it back and was choked up.Because he was so shocked, Xie Shi even didn't pay attention for a moment, and he didn't hold back his strength. Fenyuan, who was pulled by the cat's hair, let out a soft cry, broke free from the master's hand and ran away.

Xie Shi was extremely shocked and looked at the person who was quite proud of his name after saying some shocking remarks. He really wanted to ask, dare to ask brother, Ru Hexiu? !
