Text One Hundred and Forty: Fairy Island

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The market was very lively at night, and Mingrui was walking here with a group of people.  [  point]

    Mingrui wandered around for a long time, and finally settled on a rosary with eighteen rhinoceros horn beads: "How much does this cost?" The surface of the beads is jet black, and the lower part gradually becomes lighter in color, becoming grayish brown.  What's rare is that every bead has a similar color and the workmanship is very fine.

    The hawker smiled and said: "Sir, it's not expensive. Three hundred taels of silver" The hawker Perak talked about the benefits.

    Mingrui just said lightly: "Sixty taels of silver. This thing of yours is only worth sixty taels of silver at most." Mingrui's expression seemed to be saying whether he could sell his love or not.  If you don't sell him, he will leave.

    Xia Yao and Wuxing looked at each other. Three hundred taels were exchanged for sixty taels. Mingrui was a talented person.

    The vendor was almost crying.  How can a young man who is dressed so luxuriously (any ornament on Mingrui's body is worth thousands of gold), still bargain.  But looking at that expression, it didn¡¯t look like he was just pretending: ¡°Young Master¡­¡±

    Before he could speak, Mingrui put down his things and prepared to leave.  The hawker shouted with a mournful face: "Chengchengcheng, I'll give you sixty taels, just sixty taels, no more." Well, why did we meet such a master?  If you earn less, you will earn less.

    Xia Yao smiled and motioned to the entourage on the side to pay: "Ming Rui, are you planning to buy it as a gift to the princess?" Xia Yao did not expect Mingrui to bargain like this, and the bargain was so brutal.  I remember when the princess bought a chicken blood jade bracelet, the bargaining almost made the shopkeeper vomit blood (Xia Yao found out later when Wen Wan came back).  Therefore, Ming Rui is really a talent, and he has learned three-thirds of the princess's business talents.

    If Wen Wan were here, she would definitely say that the jade bracelet is not a bargain.  It was given by the shopkeeper.  Because it saved them 40,000 taels.  They made a profit even if they gave away ten thousand taels.

    Mingrui shook his head: "No, I wore it myself. I gave it to my mother, where can I give such a thing." It would be too shameless to give such a low-quality thing to my mother.  As for why you should wear this.  This is because rhinoceros horn has the functions of clearing heat, cooling blood, calming convulsions, and detoxifying.  Haikou is much hotter than Beijing, so wearing one is good for your health.

    The hawker listened to the word princess carefully and took it seriously.  I muttered in my heart.  Could it be that he is the young master of the prefect's family?

    Everyone in Haikou knows that the prefect¡¯s wife is the prince¡¯s daughter and a princess conferred by the imperial court.  So the first reaction was the son of the prefect¡¯s family.  But looking at his age, he doesn't look like: "Weird things happen every year, but this year there are especially many." There will be no one pretending to be the princess's son here.  What's more, it's just a title, not a fake one.  That's why the vendors are strange.

    Mingrui walked around the market for a long time and sat down in front of a stall to eat some snacks.

    Before, Wenwan would take them out for a walk and tell them some daily knowledge in detail.  After we finished, we ate snacks at the stall.  So Mingrui has become accustomed to it.  Not Ming Rui.  Even Xia Yao and the others were used to it.

    Mingrui stayed in Haikou for five days, and Dongqing said that she would go to sea to go to the island tomorrow.  Although it is only an eight-day sea journey, it is not that far compared to Dongbu Dongjiu's journey to sea for several months.  But this time I still have to bring a lot of things to the island.  Mingrui doesn't know how long he will stay on the island.  Must be well prepared.

    Mingrui arrived at the pier, looked at the huge guy, and couldn't help but ask: "This is it?" They were just going to the island, so there was no need to take such a big boat.

    Dongqing smiled and said: "Young Master, this is the Xiangyun, the largest merchant ship in the trading company. It just so happened that this ship came back from the sea, so I asked him to take the young master to the island. In addition, this ship contained a lot of daily necessities.  It was transported to the island. "It means that it is given away to make Mingrui look grand.  Secondly, it is also necessary to transport things, killing two birds with one stone.

    ??The trading houses are all gentle. All they need to do to dispatch ships is to greet Jiang Lin in advance.  Jiang Lin will tell her when it's done.  It was up to Dongqing to take care of what goods she needed to bring.  In the past few years, the cooperation between Dongqing and Jiang Lin has been extremely pleasant.

    Mingrui nodded and followed Dongqing onto the boat.

    The Xiangyun is a cargo ship.  It is very large and divided into three floors.  The highest floor is naturally where the leader lives (generally speaking, it is where the captain lives), the second floor is where the sailors and clerks live, and the third floor is where food, cargo, water and other items are placed.

    Mingrui is the boss now, so naturally he lives on the top floor.  The house is very big, about ten square meters.  It doesn't look as big as the clean room (that is, the bathroom) in his house.  But Mingrui also knows that this is not a home, this is a trading company selling goods.  Outside, it's pretty much the same, there's not that much fuss.  Mingrui has always been like others and is very easy to take care of.

    Mingrui looked at the room. In addition to a simple flat bed, there was also a small table and a small stool in the room.  There are pastries and fruits on the small wooden table at this timeetc.  At first glance, you can tell that this table was added temporarily.  Mingrui didn't say anything, let alone a word of disdain. He just asked people to put all his gifts in. There weren't many clothes and shoes, six boxes, two boxes of clothes, two boxes of medicinal materials, two boxes of books, full of them.  Dangdang, it¡¯s all heavy.

    Xia Yao¡¯s journey by boat to Haikou was normal and she didn¡¯t suffer from seasickness.  But I got on this ship.  It was just a little uncomfortable the first day, but not the next day.  Dizziness, sweating, nausea, and whole body swaying.

    Let alone Xia Yao, Wuxing is a little uncomfortable with it.  However, Wu Xing is better than Xia Yao, but she is just as dizzy as Oh.  Didn't feel sick.

    In the end, Xia Yao couldn't bear it anymore and started vomiting.  The general vomited out all his belongings.  After vomiting, my whole body was limp and I had no strength at all.  Seeing Holly holding something in her hand, she also held a cup in one hand.

    Dongqing took seasickness medicine and gave it to Xia Yao: "It's all like this. The first time I took this sea-going ship, I was very dizzy. I'll just get used to it after two days." This seasickness was mainly due to a sudden burst of seasickness.  Not used to it.  Xia Yao's physique is so good, she will definitely recover in two days.

    Xia Yao took the seasickness medicine, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.  He opened his eyes, looked at the ship's board, and chuckled.  The princess said before departure that she might get seasick. She also thought that she was in good health and would not get seasick.  Unexpectedly, I actually got seasick.

    Xia Yao was thinking about Wen Wan¡¯s words when Wuxing came over.  Wu Xing brought a bowl of porridge over: "Drink some porridge first. Eat later when you are hungry." Wu Xing's adaptability on the ship was obviously better than Xia Yao's.  Wu Xing took the seasickness medicine.  It'll be fine in less than half an hour.

    After drinking the porridge, Xia Yao felt a little stronger: "How is Mingrui?" She was in this state, and she really couldn't take care of Mingrui.

    ??Wuxing smiled and pulled up the blanket and covered Xia Yao: "Mingrui is fine for the time being." The reason why I say it is temporary.  It was Holly who said that some people have good endurance, but it will take a few days for them to show up.  So for the time being, he couldn't guarantee whether Bingrui would get seasick.

    Xia Yao muttered: "It's good that I'm not seasick. This is really painful." How many years have passed.  She has never suffered such a crime since she came to Wenwan.  It's so uncomfortable.

    Wu Xing whispered at the bedside: "Go to sleep for a while! You'll be fine when you wake up. Don't worry, Mingrui, Dongqing is taking care of you!" The people on the boat are all trustworthy people, and nothing will happen to her.  This is the most important thing to protect your wife.

    Xia Yao chuckled, squinted her eyes, and continued to sleep.

    Wu Xing waited for Xia Yao to fall asleep and was about to take the bowl out.  Then I saw Dongqing coming with Mingrui.  Mingrui saw the pale-skinned Xia Yao: "Uncle (that's what Mingrui asked her to be called), how is aunt? Is there any hindrance?" He didn't expect that his always strong aunt would be in such a state because of seasickness.  appearance.

    Wuxing shook his head: "It's okay, I'll be fine when I wake up." There was a lot of seasickness medicine prepared on the ship, and after taking the medicine, everything would be fine.

    According to Dong Qing¡¯s original idea.  Mingrui should be the first to get seasick.  As a result, Mingrui was fine, but Xia Yao and Wuxing used it first.  Wuxing felt better that day, but Xia Yao felt better the next day. It took her two days to get used to it.  I have really suffered enough these past two days.

    After Wuxing and Xia Yao got better, a group of people began to worry about Mingrui.  [ Point] As it turned out, Mingrui¡¯s face was still so rosy and she didn¡¯t have any adverse reactions until we were almost to the island.

    Dongqing was very depressed and dumbfounded: "When I first got on the ship, I vomited so much that I barely survived. How can the young master be so powerful?"

    Dongqing was much inferior to Xia Yao that day.  I was so sick that I felt like I was in a coma, and I didn't feel better until I rested on the island for two days.  So face Xia Yao.  She didn't dare to laugh.  Mingrui didn't have any adverse reactions at all.

    Dongqing muttered: "This is really a strong man! The princess herself is strong, and the young master she gave birth to is also strong. There are a lot of strong people, you can't help but admire me."

    Qin Laowu laughed and cursed at the side: "Don't look at it, the general has been at the seaside for so many years. The eldest young master naturally followed the general. How can he be so cowardly!" The general has been at sea for so many years, and he is invincible in the sea.  .  The son will naturally be fine.

    Dongqing muttered: "You are talking about the eldest son. He is as smart as the princess. His physique is that of a general. From now on, he will be invincible in the world." This is the only reason, otherwise there is really no explanation.

    The group of people murmured, but Mingrui was there very calmly.  It is not affected at all by the words and deeds of Dongqing and others.

    Well, Holly can only shake her head.  A strong man begets a strong man.  All Mingrui's extraordinary behavior is attributed to his strong father and mother.

    Soon we saw the island.  Holly pointed to the visible bulge in the distance: "Master, that is our island."

    brightRui kept hearing them talk about islands and islands: "Doesn't this island have a name?" No, his mother should have given it a name.

    Xia Yao smiled: "The princess said that the island was built for you and Mingjin. So the princess did not name it. Mingrui, you can name this island. The next island will be reserved for Mingjin."

    Mingrui lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the island in the distance.  After a long time, he said: "In that case, this island will be called 'Xianhui Island' from now on." As for why it is called Xianhui Island, probably only Mingrui himself knows.  However, later generations simply called it Fairy Island.

    Approaching the island, you can see rocks everywhere, which are all smooth.  You can't climb anywhere else except the entrance.  Holly explained, to guard against pirates.

    Mingrui was surprised: "There are still pirates coming here?" Could it be that the Huwei Army didn't drive away the pirates completely.  Not that there aren't pirates here.

    When Dongqing saw Mingrui's look, she knew that he had misunderstood: "No pirates are coming now. We belong to the inland sea and are under the jurisdiction of Daqi. Pirates dare not come. But you can't say for sure in the future. What this does is  The perfect strategy. It¡¯s almost here, Sir, get ready to disembark.¡±

    Get off the boat.  A group of people came to greet him, and Mingrui nodded to them.  Seeing this, Bai Shinian's subordinates suddenly thought that he was indeed the general's son.  Not only are they similar in appearance.  Just like this temperament.

    Mingrui followed Dongqing and his party to the island.  I thought I was going to walk, but I didn't expect to see a carriage.  Dongqing said: "I live far away from here. Sir, this island is quite big. You will know in two days."

    Mingrui didn¡¯t ask any questions and just lifted the curtain of the carriage.  Look outside.  Along the way, I saw trees and flowers.  Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant.  After walking for a while, I also saw farmland.  There are also farmers and children in twos and threes.  Although he was wearing coarse clothes, his face was full of joy.  Then while walking, a few chickens popped out.  What kind of island is this? If you don¡¯t know, you might think you¡¯re in some village!

    Mingrui was completely confused.  Where did this come from?  Well, it¡¯s also said to be a place for cultivating talents.  It's like a place where killers are trained.  But what catches the eye is exactly the model of the villa.  Where is it like a place to cultivate talents?

    Mingrui had many questions in his mind.  But he didn't ask questions now.  Prepare everything until you reach your destination.  But Dongqing next to her explained to Mingrui: "Young master, the princess wants these people to not only grow some crops, fruits and vegetables, but also raise some poultry. The most important thing is that the island will look full of life. Now  It has just been built, and there are not many people and it is not very prosperous. There are still only more than 60 households on the entire island. "These wealthy people are all the family members brought here by Bai Shinian's confidants.  Arrived on the island.  You have to sign a contract, that is, you go to the island. Without special reasons, you cannot leave without the permission of the people above you.

    Mingrui nodded, indicating that he understood.

    Mingrui¡¯s calm appearance gave Dongqing no sense of accomplishment at all.  But Xia Yao looked at her and could only keep talking.

    The carriage drove for a while before reaching its destination.  When Mingrui got off the carriage, he saw that the ground was paved with gravel and was very flat.

    Mingrui looked at the tall building wall in front of him.  It's as high as a three-story building.  Facing him was a heavy and clumsy-looking iron door.

    " Dongqing shouted at the top, and a small hanging basket was placed on it.  Mingrui saw Dongqing take out a golden token from her sleeve and put it in the hanging basket.  After a while, the iron door opened, and seventy or eighty people lined up to welcome Mingrui's arrival.

    When you walk in, the feeling is completely different.  As soon as I walked in, I saw a large and empty land.  Go further.  Just rows of houses.  The houses are all stone houses made of piled stones.  How can I survive this winter?

    Dongqing explained: "Young master, there is no winter here. The coldest time is equivalent to late autumn in the capital."

    Pass through these houses and then enter a thoroughfare.  There are lush flowers and trees on both sides of the avenue.  After walking for about ten minutes, a tall building came into view.

    Dongqing took Mingrui to visit the building.  This building is the highlight. It covers a very large area and is divided into twelve places, each of which is five times the size of his Cuju venue.  Every place has its purpose.

    Dongqing took Mingrui to the top of the building, pointed to the dense jungle behind the building and said: "Young master, from the time you came in here, this is the part we have completed. It accounts for about one-third of the entire island. There are still three more  The princess said that one-third of the land should be developed and the remaining one-third would not be touched again. "

    After reading it, Mingrui couldn't help but ask: "That's all?" He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was.

    ?Dongqing smiled and said nothing.  Of course it is not these, but there are still some parts that are not so easy to complete.  Come little by little.  There is no rush now (there is no rush).

    Mingrui didn¡¯t ask much: ¡°How many people are there on the island now?¡± From the looks of it, there weren¡¯t many people.  According to Mingrui's estimate, there were less than a thousand people.

    Dongqing smiled and said: "Including all people, number 486. The island is still being expanded." This island can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people.  But Wenwan didn't want to damage the environment here, so she planned to develop part of it first.  The rest depends on the situation.

    After Mingrui finished visiting, he went to his room.  The layout of the room turned out to be very similar to his house in the capital.  Of course, the layout here is definitely not as elaborate as in the capital, it just looks the same.

    Mingrui is not particular about it. He will stay here first. The specific situation of the island has yet to be understood slowly.  To be honest, Mingrui was surprised by the layout of this island.  Not at all what he imagined.

    Mingrui still has a little regret. It would have been nice if her mother had brought the three brothers here with her.  Hey, Mingrui really misses his mother and brother.

    Wenwan also misses her son.  The husband is not around.  It feels like nothing.  But now that my son is not around, I really think about it day and night, making Mingrui eat and drink a lot, especially the clothes he wears.  There are twelve sets for each degree.  All are extended versions.  That child is growing up quickly. I hope Xia Yao can take good care of him and don't let him wear clothes that don't fit (Xia Yao is speechless: Am I so weak?).  Wen Wan will really regret this.  If I had known it would be so difficult, I wouldn't have let my son leave my side, I would have kept him by my side.  If something really happens, the two of us will fight to the death.

    Mingjin also misses her brother very much: "Mom, I miss my brother. When will he come back!" My brother has been away for more than a month.  Without my brother by my side, I always feel empty.

    Wenwan touched Mingjin's head: "Mom misses my brother too. But he won't come back soon. Mingjin has to work hard to practice martial arts. When your martial arts is as good as your brother's, your brother will come back."

    Mingjin felt depressed, but still nodded.

    Xia Ying walked in and said to Wen Wan: "Princess, the eldest son has arrived on the island. He has settled down. Everything is fine with the eldest son, there is no need to worry, princess."

    It would be strange not to worry.  Wen Wan now fully understands the worry of her mother who has traveled thousands of miles: "That's fine. Xia Ying, do you want to send Mingjin away? I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it. I can't bear to leave!" Mingrui is not so uncomfortable in his heart.  If Mingjin is not around anymore.  Wen Wan can't imagine how to live this day.

    Xia Ying nodded: "I couldn't bear to leave it in the mansion. With so many people in the mansion, there is no room for a traitor to be arrogant."

    Wen Wan originally wanted to keep her child by her side, but was reluctant to send him away.  But after hearing Xia Ying's tone, she sighed slightly in her heart. She had to send him away, he had to send him away.  Who knows how many people are buried in the capital and how harmful these people are!  No matter how much I miss you, I still know that my son is fine when he is outside.  If not.  Just in case, it won't collapse that day.

    Xia Ying couldn't help but see Wen Wan's face sinking, so she smiled and said, "Princess, when the eldest son was in Luzhou, he beat a group of people half to death." Xia Ying had not planned to tell Wen Wan about this.  This saves the princess from worrying more.

    Wen Wan was a little surprised: "What did these people do to Mingrui?" Mingrui is not the kind of person to stir up trouble.  Not Ming Rui, not even Mingjin.  Wenwan has very strict requirements for her children.  Neither child has developed the temperament of bullying others.

    Xia Ying told the story: "The eldest son is quite ruthless. A group of people are all lying on the bed. According to the news, they will not be able to take care of themselves in two or three years."

    Wen Wan shook her head: "This kid is so violent. He doesn't know how to restrain himself." After thinking about it, he laughed again: "Just hit him. If he dares to bully my Mingrui, it's good if he doesn't kill them."

    Xia Ying was speechless.  The princess is too protective of her shortcomings.  I thought I would say a few words, but I didn't expect to directly say that I should fight.  Well, a princess who protects her shortcomings, a princess who has no principles.

    Bai Shinian has not been idle since he received Wen Wan's letter.  He has been busy, not only familiarizing himself with the enemy's terrain, but also drawing an accurate map.  Also beware of digging out enemies hiding in the dark.  The first of the two things is easy to handle. The experience accumulated over the years has almost been completed.  But the enemy hidden in the dark was nowhere to be seen.

    The enemy was immobile, and Bai Shinian was helpless.

    Ye Xun has been doing this with Bai Shinian, but they haven't found anything valuable.  Ye Xun was very surprised: "General, I always find it strange. Do you think the remnants of the previous dynasty were not so active before. Why did they become active just in the past few years?" The whereabouts are so secretive that it is difficult to detect them.  That is if it has always existed.  It just happened that it emerged in the past few years, very??Weird.

    Bai Shinian was also puzzled: "It seems to have happened after the emperor ascended the throne" After Bai Shinian finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xun.  It came out a few years after the emperor ascended the throne

    Ye Xun also guessed what Bai Shinian meant: "Could it be the remnant of King Zhao? If so, it makes sense." At that time, King Zhao was the most beloved by the late emperor.  He has established a considerable influence and has networked with many talented people around him.  Moreover, a lot of money was also looted.  If you need people and money, it will not be convenient to do things.

    Bai Shinian frowned tightly: "If this is the case, many things will be explained clearly." Concubine Xian has been in the harem for many years, and she has put down many nails before the Mingjin poisoning incident.  In the border town, King Zhao also let a lot of people here, so there was a story about him being poisoned.  As for the others, I don¡¯t know yet.

    Bai Shinian immediately wrote a secret document and rushed it to the capital
