The deeds of Su Jin, Bai Mudan and others in Yangzhou have long been known to everyone in the Su family. In fact, the whole Su family has no ill intentions toward Bai Mudan. On the contrary, they are somewhat grateful to her. If Bai Mudan had not risked being discovered by Feng Jingyao,
The danger of murder was cleverly concealed, and Su Jin was about to face disaster that day in the Red Mansion. However, due to Bai Mudan's identity, the Su family could not accept her as a bride.
When leaving the capital for Mingzhou, Xia Siling, who was obsessed with her husband, obtained Yan Biyun's permission and secretly went to the famous "Caidie Fang" ready-made clothing store in the capital to find Bai Mudan and told her that Su Jin was leaving Da.
Xia Siling asked her if she was willing to follow him, because the Su family might never return to the Song Dynasty, and Xia Siling didn't want Su Jin to have any regrets.
For many years, Bai Mudan has been pure and ascetic. Apart from taking care of the shop, she never leaves home to eat fast and chant Buddha's name. However, she cannot forget Su Jin for a moment. Su Jin wrote in his own hand, "Escape from the filth and remain unstained, wash the clear waters."
The handwriting of ' was also framed by her and hung in the boudoir, facing each other day and night, thinking about it in their hearts. Women all hope to have a destination, especially women like Bai Mudan who have experienced pain and suffering. They also hope that someone can comfort their injured heart, but
Due to his identity, he could not get what he wanted. Now that the Su family invited him, Bai Mudan followed the Su family's convoy out of the capital without hesitation, and followed it all the way to the ship.
Su Jin held Bai Mudan's warm little hand and sighed: "I never thought that you and I would get together eventually, but your ten years of hard work in Cai Die Fang would be in vain. Even I have heard of Cai Die Fang."
Where is the name?"
Bai Mudan gently leaned her head on Su Jin's chest and said, "What do these mean? The predecessor of Caidiefang is the Suji Garment Shop that the young master gave to the slave family to settle down. The reason why the slave family deliberately manages Caidiefang is that
It’s because I don’t want to disappoint the young master. It’s something that the young master left for the slave family. How dare the slave family neglect it.”
Su Jin held her face and kissed her gently: "Ten years have passed and I often think of you. Only now do I realize that wasting youth is a sin. I should have taken you by my side at all costs. I am guilty.
."
Bai Mudan smiled sweetly and said: "Young Master, the slave family cannot ruin your future. If you had followed the Young Master back then, you would have made people laugh at you and stained your reputation. But it is different now. Since the Young Master has decided to leave the Song Dynasty,
I also gave up all my official position and family property, and the Nu family was not only concerned about this, so as soon as Sister Xia said it, I shamelessly followed her."
Su Jin said: "I never want you to leave me from now on. I want to marry you."
Bai Mudan sighed, shook her head slightly and said, "No, I can't marry you as my concubine."
Su Jin was surprised and said: "What?"
Bai Mudan said: "After all, the slave family is a ruined body. How can we enter the Su family's innocent door? Even if the sisters agree, the slave family cannot be so selfish."
Su Jin waved his hand and said, "Why are you doing this?"
Bai Mudan stretched out her hand and stroked Su Jin's face and said: "Master, the slave family knows that you are good to me, but I just want to be able to see the master from time to time. I heard that we are going to a foreign and wild place, and the slave family plans to go there."
Reopening Caidiefang, Young Master...If Young Master needs...the slave's company, he can come to visit from time to time, and the master will regard the slave's place as a resting place, the slave's family...the slave's family..."
Su Jin hugged Bai Mudan tightly and responded with a long and deep kiss.
The women rescued by the Red Mansion in Yangzhou had already married and left. Even Hong Meigui, who had a one-night stand with Su Jin, was married to a wealthy businessman in Daming Mansion as a concubine. Only Bai Mudan came with her.
Su Jin obtained the consent of several close sisters and married four of them to the dynasty, Mahan, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu respectively as concubines. These four had followed Su Jin for many years and delayed their marriage. Su Jin's move was regarded as compensation.
They, among the hundreds of families who followed them overseas, also had girls of the right age, so they could choose a good match as their first wife when they got there.
The wedding was held on a big ship. The four big foodies usually fought and killed each other with ferocity, but after becoming the groom, they couldn't let go. On the other hand, Bai Mudan's sisters, although they were all in their mid-twenties, had good looks.
She is beautiful and has a graceful figure. After all, she was a carefully selected woman at that time, and she has a kind of subtle charm.
Su Jin thought to himself: These guys have never touched a woman before. If they meet such a charming woman as soon as they start sex, they will be torn to pieces. Sure enough, when the four of them came to pay their respects with their concubines early the next morning,
The four women looked radiant, but the four big foodies all had dark circles under their eyes and felt weak when walking. They didn't know how much energy they had lost last night.
…
Sometimes the sea is calm and the scenery is magnificent, and sometimes there are storms and sea wolves roaring into the sky. Fortunately, Su Ji's ships are made of the best wood, and some are even inlaid with iron shells. After experiencing several storms, the damage was not big, except that one ship carried iron.
Su Jin was heartbroken when Ding's supply ship was overturned by waves and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Three months later, at noon one day, the pilot ship sent a message that there seemed to be a new discovery ahead. Everyone hurriedly gathered on the bow of the ship and looked ahead.
But there are faint traces of rolling mountains in the distant sky, which are different from some desert islands seen along the way. There have been several times when everyone mistakenly thought that the desert islands were on the mainland, but this time it was determined to be different.
Su Jin fiddled with the charts and the globe for a long time, clapped his hands and shouted: "Where is the land we are about to reach? That mountain is the high mountain on the west coast of this wild land. We have finally arrived."
Everyone cheered and cheered. The four-month long journey finally came to an end, and they finally arrived at the mysterious land that Su Jin called. Their joy was beyond words.
Su Jin ordered to advance at full speed, and ordered Wang Chao Ma Han to lead the fire gun battalion to find the landing site and go ashore first to warn. Su Jin was also very unfamiliar with the geographical environment here. Everything was learned from the limited understanding of later generations, and he did not
Don't dare to be careless in the slightest.
The closer the distance, the clearer the view. Everyone leaned on the railing of the bow and pointed, looking at the coast getting closer and closer, as well as the snow-capped peaks on the mainland, the blanket of flowers and weeds in full bloom, and the vast landscape.
The forest is covered with large herds of deer and rabbits passing through it, making it really like a fairyland on earth.
"It's so beautiful. It's really beautiful here. My husband has really found a good place. Let's occupy this place. In the future, my husband will be the emperor here. Hehe, I have become a noble concubine." Ah Li snuggled up next to Su Jin.
Silly way.
Su Jin smiled and said, "What you think is wonderful, here is not only beautiful flowers and forests, but also man-eating natives and ferocious lions and tigers."
Ah Li smiled and said: "I'm not afraid. I have a husband and so many people to protect me. This place is so beautiful, why not call the country the United States in the future?"
Su Jin looked at Ah Li in shock and said, "America?"
"Yeah, America, isn't that a bad name?"
Su Jin was sweating like rain on his forehead and murmured: "Okay, okay, it's a good name." He sighed secretly in his heart, everything seemed to be destined. This was the North American continent, and he had several hundred dollars ahead of the British.
When I came here in the year, I thought I could tamper with history and change everything about the hegemonic country in the future, but I didn't expect Ahri to reveal the secret. It turned out that the country he was going to establish here would be called the United States.
A strong sense of illusion came to his mind. Su Jin tried his best to conceal his inner fluctuations and ordered to find a deep-water natural port along the coastline. He knew that there was a natural port on the west coast and it would be extremely prosperous in a thousand years, but now it must be a wilderness.
.
With the help of a globe and a nautical compass, Su Jin finally found the port as the sun set. The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the white and clean beach. The coast above was densely wooded and the terrain was high and flat. People of later generations chose
There was a reason for building a city here, and Su Jin didn't need to think about it. He just followed the example and built it on the original site.
"This is where we will build our first city."
Yan Shu stroked his beard and said, "Yes, I have a good eye. Look at this terrain. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. It is an excellent Feng Shui place. It's not bad."
Ah Li said: "I'll give the new city a name."
Yan Biyun and others laughed and said, "Sister Ah Li is addicted to naming."
Su Jin laughed and said: "I came up with the name of the first city. Look, the dusk is getting higher and the tired birds want to return home. What kind of birds are they flying back to their nests on the coast?"
Yeli Duanyun said: "Those seem to be some fat pheasants."
Su Jin sighed: "This is God's will. This city calls it the 'Luo Pheasant'."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned. What kind of weird name is this? Su Jin was also a top scholar, so having such a nondescript name really made people laugh or cry.
ps: Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, is on the east side of the vast Pacific Ocean on the coast of San Pedro Bay and Santa Monica Bay, backed by the vast San Gabriel Mountains, and surrounded by mountains on three sides.
In the open basin facing the sea, the ground is flat except for some hills.
