121 I'm Sorry 1
The food and utensils have been prepared for four days, and the carts carrying the food on the wharf have not been broken in the past few days, and they have been loading on Li's boat. Today, Gouzi set off with more than two hundred people. He needs to bring people and food utensils to the northern end of Liuqiu, and then take the remaining supplies to Nanwan.
Li You also set off today, but his destination was Lingnan, and he brought Yingying with him. Yingying knows Li You’s arrangements. He will go to Huanzhou next month to train the native soldiers, and will not come back until the New Year’s Day. She really wants to stay with Li You all the time, so this time she will go to Lingnan. She also asked Li You to take her with her, just because she wanted to stay with Li You more.
Xu Zhongming naturally knew Yingying’s thoughts. Although he had returned to the Xu family, he never opposed Yingying’s relationship with Li You. He had already understood Li You’s talents and abilities. Say, he really wanted to see Li You as his son-in-law. Even Yingying's eldest brother Xu Chengrui could understand this.
Li You’s boat was lightly loaded. Even if Gouzi and the others set off first, Li You’s boat surpassed them directly downstream. On the deck, Gouzi and Chen Pi saw Li You personally drive the boat, and Yingying sat down. The one who talked and laughed with Li You on the side also looked at each other and smiled.
"It looks like, sister Yingying, we will have to be called Mrs. Young from now on. It should be only two years from now." Chen Fan said suddenly.
Gouzi looked at the sailing boat sailing away at high speed, and smiled: "This is not good. The young master's physique is no better than those 13-year-old youngsters. If the young master is now sixteen years old, I am afraid that most people are still I'll recognize it, and say I can't wait until next year, the young master will propose to Mr. Changde, next year Yingying will be sixteen."
"You, next year, the young master won't have time. Liuqiu will take a lot of effort, and Huanzhou won't be so easy to handle."
"Haha, leave him alone, anyway, this time Mr. Changde agreed that Yingying and Young Master would go to Lingnan with Yingying. This is different. Yingying is a pretty girl. Now Mr. Changde still agrees to Yingying to go. In other words, Mr. Changde has already recognized this marriage, and even if you wait for another three years, Yingying is still the young lady."
Today’s wind is in the right direction, and the wind is not small. The sails can be raised to increase the speed of the ship. With the addition of the downstream, Li You knows that this speed may have already passed 25 knots, above the Yangtze River. The rest of the ships saw this clipper, so they didn't stop and watch.
With Li You by her side, Yingying was extremely happy. Li You gave her too many experiences that she had never had before, including this time of sailing. The speed was so fast, but she had never experienced it before, when she tried the boat at sea last time. It was not so fast. This time it was above the Yangtze River. Although it was fast, it was not as bumpy as it was at sea last time.
At night, Li You had already sailed the ship into the sea, still using the sailing compass to continue driving. Although the speed had slowed down a bit, it was nearly twenty knots. But Gouzi and others still need to stop by the Yangtze River and wait until tomorrow morning to set sail again.
It was another hour later that Li You asked the three crew members of the ship to lower the sails and anchor down before entering the cabin. After several crew members got into the cabin, they started to cook their meals. Li You and Yingying sat leisurely on the sofa and chatted, and waited for the meal to be ready, then the meal was served.
When sailing, eating can be very simple, rice, fried fish, and a plate of isatis. In two days, it is estimated that there will be no more dishes to eat, but only meat will be left. Although simple, everyone is used to it.
After a few days in this way, the boat finally arrived in Lingnan, where there was delicious food. As soon as he entered the manor, Li You asked Hong Wu to prepare a feast for the evening.
In the room, as soon as Li You and Yingying came to rest, Nangongyi ran over, which was just right, so as not to wait for Li You to call him again.
"Yingying, take a good rest here first. Mr. Nangong and I have something to say, so we will go back."
"Brother You, you don't have to tell me, Yingying is here waiting for Brother You to come back."
Li You smiled slightly at her, and then took Nangong Yi away.
In the study, as soon as Li You just sat down, Nangong Yi teased: "A Lang is getting closer to the Xu family girl. I want to come, and I will have your wedding drink soon. It should be less than two years, now this The Xu family girl is fifteen, and two years later it will be seventeen. At that time, she couldn't wait."
Li You really admitted: "Yes, I just plan to marry her back in two years. If it wasn't for the gossip of a woman who does not marry after eighteen, I really want to wait."
"Wait, haha, you can wait, Xu girl can't wait, I just looked at her, I'm afraid I want to marry you now."
Li You ignored him, poured two glasses of water, handed a glass to Nangong Yi, and then said: "Well, let’s not talk about other things, let’s talk about business now. I’m here in Lingnan this time, but it’s just to find a husband. Come to discuss this."
"Is there anything you need Alang to take this trip yourself?" Nangong Yi asked. In his eyes, Li You can definitely handle everything, and there is no need to ask him specifically. I'm here now, I'm afraid the matter is not small, Li You can't make up his mind.
"Gouzi went to Liuqiu this time. He wiped out the tribe that ruled Liuqiu the most. He killed more than a thousand people from the other party, and also took the remaining three thousand people into the plains. Now I just send I don’t know what to do later when people go to the stream for food. I don’t know what to do later."
Nangongyi did not speak, but considered it. After a while, he said, "You are afraid of the court!"
Li You squinted at him, smiled and said: "It seems that I was not wrong with you to discuss this matter." Looking up at the roof, Li You went on to say: "As long as I sort out the flow, there will be It’s a matter of time that there will be merchants gathering, and once others know that this is my Li family’s property, I’m afraid the Li family will suffer for it.”
Nangong Yi said: “If you don’t do it now, I’m afraid that you want to occupy a square inch in Liuqiu, it will also cause big trouble, unless... you punish all the aborigines of Liuqiu, but this matter, You will not do it. It will take time and effort and deviate from your original idea. In fact, this matter is not as unsolvable as you think. Staying at the status quo will naturally not cause trouble, let alone Set the fire to burn your body, but once you are ashamed of the forest, no matter whether you occupy the stream or not, you are also coveted.
Do you still remember the continent to the south that you said at the beginning. If you take this place, you will truly be far away from the imperial court. However, if there is any change, you can retreat completely. Once the emperor and the courtier, the Li family wants to be stable for generations, and it has to leave a way out. Are there few people who have suffered in vain in history, so you can spend your mind on the new place to the south. "(End of this chapter)
