Qi Yunxiao was dumbfounded when the white man opened his mouth.
The man was speaking a foreign language, which Qi Yunxiao couldn't understand.
Zhao Yuzhu only half understood.
However, Shen Zhongyi and Shen Qingyu were fine. Shen Zhongyi had just transmigrated and was doing business overseas, which required him to deal with these people and improve his rudimentary English skills from dealing with foreigners.
Shen Qingyu, on the other hand, had studied before transmigrating and had learned it quite thoroughly.
The white man, named Robert, was an explorer. His ship had been torn apart by a tornado, and he clung to a plank as he floated ashore…
Qi Yunxiao and Zhao Yuzhu were completely bewildered, and could only guess what they were saying from their expressions.
They had only been talking for a short while when they both became happy. Then, Shen Zhongyi suddenly looked down and took off his plastic slippers.
Qi Yunxiao: "!!!"
Are you planning to hit someone with your shoe?!
Shen Zhongyi wasn't trying to hit anyone; he simply handed the slippers to Robert.
Robert held the slippers in his hands, carefully looking at them, touching them, twisting them, and smelling them...
Everyone: "!!!"
Does my father-in-law have smelly feet?!
After thinking for a while, Robert started whispering to Shen Zhongyi and Shen Qingyu.
Finally, Shen Zhongyi reached out and hugged Robert.
After happily hugging Shen Zhongyi, Robert looked at Shen Qingyu.
Before Shen Qingyu could refuse, a hand reached out from the side and gently but firmly pulled her behind him: "I'll do it."
Robert: "..."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then they all burst into laughter.
Shen Qingyu then explained to Qi Yunxiao, "This Robert is very interested in our slippers; he wants to try making them out of rubber..."
Qi Yunxiao: "Hmm? He can do it?"
Shen Qingyu waved her hand: "That's not necessarily true, but he said he's willing to try, so let him give it a shot. What if it works out?"
Qi Yunxiao disliked the pretty boy: "What if it doesn't work out?"
Shen Qingyu gave him a push: "Why are you jealous? At most, it's just one more person to support. Our family is big and wealthy, we can afford it!"
These are researchers!
They're all precious little gems, all we're doing is feeding them, right? Okay, here they are!
Qi Yunxiao's expression softened after hearing Shen Qingyu's words. He instructed his personal guards to arrange accommodations and a place for the man to conduct his research, while telling them, "This man... Radish likes quiet, so please make sure his accommodations are quiet."
It was almost as if he had explicitly told his personal guards to assign him to the most remote area.
Shen Qingyu chuckled and pulled Qi Yunxiao away. After the family returned to their room, Shen Qingyu began to discuss with Qi Yunxiao the issue of Erbao and the Mad Taoist leaving.
The Mad Taoist said a few days ago that he wanted to take the next boat to leave Whale Fall Island.
Shen Qingyu could keep Erbao, but there was no reason for her to keep the Mad Taoist.
But the mad Taoist said that Erbao still needed to travel with him for a few more years, so he wanted to take Erbao with him.
Shen Qingyu: Although she was very reluctant, she had no choice but to agree for the sake of her second child.
"Tell me, when Erbao and the Taoist priest return to Daqi, how many people should we send to protect them? And what kind of people should we send to protect them?"
The two of them actually have three groups of people under their command.
The first batch consisted of the Dragon Guards, but they did not come to the island.
The second group consisted of the Hidden Dragon Guards, who all came along. Of course, some remained on Turtleback Ridge as well.
The third batch consisted of Shen Zhongyi's personal guards.
Shen Qingyu, Shen Zhongyi's personal guard, had no intention of making a move.
These personal guards had followed Shen Zhongyi overseas for many years, and each of them had become a seasoned sailor, capable of playing a greater role at sea than on land.
Qi Yunxiao understood this principle as well. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's send the Dragon Guards to protect them."
Among these people are His Majesty's men. This will put His Majesty at ease, and secondly, it will not expose the Hidden Dragon Guard.
Having agreed to this, Shen Qingyu looked at him expectantly.
Qi Yunxiao knew what she wanted to do, but how could he possibly agree to it?
Before Shen Qingyu could speak, Qi Yunxiao blocked her way: "No, you can't go back to Daqi."
"Why not?" Shen Qingyu retorted.
“If you are pregnant and take a boat to Daqi, and you encounter a storm on the way back, I will regret it for the rest of my life if anything happens to you.”
Shen Qingyu could only shut up listlessly.
When Erbao was about to return to Daqi by ship in half a month, Shen Qingyu became "depressed". She was lazy and listless every day, did not like to go out, and did not like to talk or chat with people. She would just lie in bed in a daze or sleep, or sit by the window in a daze.
When Qi Yunxiao spoke to her, she responded listlessly.
Qi Yunxiao tried various ways to make her happy, but her responses were lukewarm.
Qi Yunxiao: "..."
So Qi Yunxiao went to Zhao Yuzhu and Shen Zhongyi to discuss the matter behind Shen Qingyu's back.
Zhao Yuzhu and Shen Zhongyi exchanged a glance, both sensing the seriousness of the situation: "If preventing her from returning to Daqi causes her to become depressed, it would be a net loss..."
So the two of them turned around and advised Qi Yunxiao: "Why don't you go back with her?"
Qi Yunxiao was unhappy: "It will take two or three days to get ashore by boat. She is pregnant, and I am really not at ease with her."
Zhao Yuzhu sighed and told her about the importance of keeping pregnant women in a good mood.
Qi Yunxiao hesitated before agreeing.
When they returned to their room and told Shen Qingyu, Shen Qingyu immediately became happy!
Qi Yunxiao instantly realized he'd been tricked: "Were you pretending to be unhappy just to coax me into letting you go back to Daqi?"
Shen Qingyu sighed: "It's really not because of that..."
It turns out that this island doesn't have much else, but it has a lot of coconut trees. On inhabited islands, almost every household refines coconut oil for cooking.
But cooking with coconut oil really doesn't taste good, so when they heard that they could exchange coconut oil for cloth, grain, and other things, they were very generous and gave it to them in large quantities.
With coconut oil being cheaply and in large quantities being traded back, Whale Fall Island is now underutilized.
In addition, this was the first time Shen Qingyu had stayed on an island for an extended period of time, and she was indeed bored. She needed to go back and find out about the prices in various towns, right?
Because of the space warehouse, Shen Qingyu could carry glass shards or coconut oil, which was equivalent to two large cargo ships in this era!
It is not afraid of being bumped and broken, nor is it afraid of spoiling.
Therefore, Shen Qingyu wanted to take advantage of this bug to bring more things over at once and bring more things back.
She's about to give birth, and after that, it will be even harder for her to go back.
After all, the baby is still in the womb, so you can take the baby anywhere. If you take the baby out after it's born, you'll have to carry the baby everywhere you go, which won't be convenient.
That space is only accessible to Shen Qingyu!
Shen Qingyu tried, but none of the three little ones could fit in!
