The temporary docking did not take long. After handling these urgent matters, Qi Yu immediately ordered the fleet to set sail in order to return to Qiongzhou as soon as possible.
The recent war in the southern sea area is about to break out, and there are dangers everywhere. If you can't stay, you won't stay.
Also, this treasure ship is too eye-catching. If someone notices it, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Caution is the boat.
The next few days were calm, there was no bad weather, and the trip went smoothly.
Since we deliberately avoided the Finnish Harbor area on our way back, our route was somewhat partial to the deep sea.
Under the careful care of the Qi family, Meng Lanshan's complexion has improved significantly. Except for still being drowsy, other physical signs have become stable.
"The antelope horn is really a good thing. As expected, sir, he didn't have another fever..."
"There are also these tonic decoctions, which should also be very effective in treating diseases..."
Seeing that his husband's condition was stable, Qi Yu's frown slowly relaxed.
Originally, Liu Quan had prepared a lot of words and wanted to talk to her husband, but seeing that he was busy inside and outside, he had to swallow his words.
Forget it, let’s talk about it later when we have free time.
On this day, Qi Yu's fleet docked at Tianzi Pier in Qiongzhou.
The arrival of Big Mac caused a strong sensation.
The onlookers all sighed: How could there be such a big ship in the world?
Where did it come from?
It is said that Mr. Qi picked it up.
Uh...someone actually believes it.
Not to mention the common people, even Peng Wenchang who came to greet him was stunned.
"Mr. Peng, we will talk about this big ship later. Now, I still have something important for you to do."
"Oh? Please give me your instructions."
"..."
The top priority at the moment is to place Mr. Wenzhu as soon as possible so that he can rest comfortably until he recovers.
However, there are many people and things going on in Fuya, and it is noisy from time to time, so it is not an ideal place to recuperate. You have to find a relatively quiet place.
Tan Junyan advised: "Recently, my father-in-law bought a house in Fucheng. Although it is not luxurious, it is valuable for its tranquility. If you don't want to give up, you might as well choose that place."
Within the capital?
It's not that far and it's very convenient to visit.
So, it was decided.
After settling the matter, Qi Yu asked Peng Wenchang to find famous doctors to diagnose and treat his mentor. This matter could not be careless, and he would not be relieved unless the old master took care of it himself.
There is another thing that Qi Dalang is a little unsure about.
Should I write to Meng Jiming in Beijing to explain the situation?
Forget it, let's wait.
Even if Meng Jiming wanted to come, he couldn't do it in a short time despite being separated by thousands of rivers.
Well, let's do this first.
…
There is no harm without comparison.
This sentence makes perfect sense.
After Liu Quan and Zhou walked around the official residence twice, they both looked disappointed.
How about the official residence of the prefect, which is in such a shabby state?
Not to mention comparing it with the house in Yongchuan, even the smaller one in the capital is much more convenient than this one. Why do you feel that these days are going backwards?
However, Qi Yu once said before that when you come, you should make peace with them and get along with them calmly.
Even if you are dissatisfied with something, you will gradually get used to it.
Disappointed, Liu Quan felt very relieved.
How do you say this?
After careful investigation, she found that in this shabby official residence, except for an old and lustful old cook named Shen, there was not a single young servant girl, which showed how self-disciplined her husband was.
Especially on the bed, there were no abnormal hairs or residual rouge smell. It was clean and everything was as usual.
My husband is indeed a good man who keeps his integrity like a jade.
Thinking of the oath he had made to her, Liu Quan couldn't help but blush again, secretly complaining that she was a petty person and shouldn't doubt her husband.
Zhou, however, was thinking about other things. She looked at the cold official residence and said with emotion: "Which local official in the world is not fat and white? If you look at our Ah Ma, he has a look of disgrace on his face.
He is haggard, black and thin! No, I have to go out quickly and buy a few fat pigs to make up for the fat he has lost."
This point immediately resonated with Liu Quan, and she heard her say: "My husband is busy with many things every day, and it is strange that he is not haggard. I have noticed that he has several white hairs on his head."
This is tiring!
Old Mrs. Zhou nodded in approval and thought to herself: The mules and horses have to add ingredients at night when they are working, let alone a human being? He needs to be given a good supplement.
So, Qi Yu is about equal to a mule and a horse?
All right.
With the support of her daughter-in-law, the old lady immediately became energetic. She did not hesitate and just did what she was told.
However, I am unfamiliar with this place, so where can I buy it?
It's easy to handle. Wouldn't it be enough to grab a few government officials to lead the way?
"You guys, take me to buy a pig head and bring it back."
"Well……"
How could the government officials dare to offend this ancestor? They all put on a filial face of unconditional cooperation. After tying up the carriage, they took her towards the meat market.
I have to say that the performance of the government officials today was very good. The carriages and horses were driving at a lightning speed. After just a few tea breaks, the group started to fight back and forth.
Half an hour later, the strong aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen.
The dinner was sumptuous.
Qi Dalang, who had not enjoyed Zhou's cuisine for a long time, twitched his index finger, and this time he ate as much as he could.
Ah, my mother's food is still so delicious and memorable.
It wasn't until he couldn't swallow even after burping that he reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
When Mrs. Zhou saw her son eating deliciously, she also smiled with satisfaction: Tomorrow she would buy two more lards and cook them for Ah Ma to mix with rice.
Compared with satisfying his craving for food, Qi Dalang also had another craving for meat.
What does it mean to be met with rain after ten years of drought?
What does it mean to pour oil on dry wood and encounter a fierce fire?
Haha, you know!
"Mr., are you tired? How about we sleep?"
"No hurry, no rush, am I recovered now?"
So fast?
Liu Quan looked there and said in surprise: "Why do I feel that you are getting younger and younger?"
Qi Yu smiled evilly and said, "It's just a daily operation, why should I make such a fuss?"
"..."
Today, Qi Dalang is wise and powerful, working hard, and has a long standby function of five minutes of charging and two hours of talk time.
After waiting, once again, to demonstrate his strong strength, it was already midnight.
The moon rises in the southeast corner, illuminating my Qi family building.
It was a warm, beautiful and unforgettable night.
…
Early the next morning, when the genius was shining brightly, I heard a panting yamen servant running outside the corridor to report: "Sir, something serious has happened?"
"What's up?"
"The battle situation in Tuen Mun has reversed, and the government army lost the first battle."
What? The government army was defeated?
When did they start fighting?
It seems that a lot of things happened during the time he was away!
Yesterday, I was too preoccupied with dealing with the urgent matters at hand and forgot about this matter.
Qi Yu sat up and saw that his wife had already gotten up and was probably preparing breakfast.
