Chapter 71 Farewell
At night, Li Sihong hugged Zhao Xiaofei and said, "Husband! No matter what happens in the capital in the future, you must come to me safely!"
"Don't worry! You and I have an agreement. We are destined to be together for three lifetimes. How dare I let you down? I haven't drawn eyebrows for you enough in this life!" Zhao Xiaofei's love words made Li Sihong unable to resist.
The two of them spent the whole night together, and even wanted to melt each other's bodies in their arms.
The next morning, after they had washed up, Xiao Si came up and said, "Master! The goods have arrived at the dock. Shall we load them on the ship now?"
"Pretend! Let the women get on board first!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes, young master!" Xiao Si agreed and retreated.
"Can I take you to Tianjin for a stroll?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
Li Sihong shook her head. She hugged Zhao Xiaofei and said, "I just want my husband to be with me!"
"Okay! I'll accompany you! When you miss me in Nanjing, just look at my photo!" Zhao Xiaofei took out a photo frame from his pocket, which contained a photo of him wearing Hanfu.
"Who drew this? It's so realistic, I..." Li Sihong was a little surprised. She didn't know how to describe it.
"This is not painted on, this is my husband's shadow. Hold it well!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"The magic of Taixu Fairyland?" Li Sihong asked.
"Yes! The magic of Taixu Fairyland! I'll take a picture of it and develop it later. Next time I go back to Nanjing, I'll bring it to you to experience the weather there!" Zhao Xiaofei nodded, then took out his mobile phone to take a picture of Li Sihong.
"Husband, wait! I need to dress up!" Li Sihong hurriedly stopped him. Women, whether ancient or modern, are really no different. When it comes to taking photos, they want to look their best.
Bottles of cosmetics began to be applied to her face. Finally, Li Sihong took out an eyebrow pencil and said, "Husband, draw my eyebrows for me!"
Zhao Xiaofei took the eyebrow pencil and began to draw. His technique wasn't as good as Li Sihong's. Li Sihong had let him draw just to get him to spend more time with her. If someone from the Prince Consort's residence came, she would always draw the eyebrows herself, never letting Zhao Xiaofei do anything. Now she was just being coquettish.
"Is it beautiful?" Zhao Xiaofei took the mirror and showed it to Li Sihong. In fact, Zhao Xiaofei's skills are really high now, because he was the one who drew Princess Kunxing's eyebrows. He had practiced with Princess Kunxing.
"My husband's craftsmanship has improved!" Li Sihong smiled, picked up the mirror and looked at herself again, then put it down with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead!"
Zhao Xiaofei took out his phone and took several pictures of her, then showed them to her. Li Sihong asked, "Husband, what kind of treasure is this? The pictures are so clear?"
"Of course it's something from Taixu Fairyland! How about we go out for a walk and take a few pictures outside!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"No! You made me unable to walk yesterday. It's all your fault!" Li Sihong said shyly.
Zhao Xiaofei smiled evilly, took out a book from his bag, and said, "I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I read a book to kill time."
"What book is this? Who wrote it?" Li Sihong asked as she took it and flipped through it.
"It's written by Jin Yong!" Zhao Xiaofei said. Actually, the book Zhao Xiaofei gave her was The Return of the Condor Heroes. At home, Zhao Xiaofei had already told her the story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. And the book he told Princess Kunxing was The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
"I think my husband is lying to me again. Aren't these the characters from The Legend of the Condor Heroes that you told me about last time? Hero Guo and Lady Huang are in it. They are still together and have children." Li Sihong pointed it out to Zhao Xiaofei with a smile.
"Just use it as a way to kill time when you have nothing to do!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Husband, I have a good idea that can bring more income to the family." Li Sihong said excitedly.
"What's the idea? Tell me about it!" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"The stories my husband told me can be written into a book and published in Jiangnan, which is also a good income!" said Li Sihong.
"Only you two like it. Don't you know what people in Jiangnan like? If it is printed and no one buys it, you will lose it all!" Zhao Xiaofei said worriedly.
"Husband, I will try to change the sentence and add some poetry in it. I believe people in Jiangnan will like it more." Li Sihong seemed very confident.
"Okay! Just change it when you have nothing to do! Just don't tire yourself out!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
After lunch, Zhao Xiaofei and Li Sihong arrived at the dock. As the 2,000-ton ship appeared before him, Zhao Xiaofei marveled at the advanced shipbuilding industry of ancient China. The ship was truly enormous and long, perhaps over 40 meters long. It could carry 400 people and hundreds of thousands of pieces of porcelain.
His one million taels of silver were no problem at all, plus glassware and cosmetics. There were plenty of other things to do on board. Tianjin also had the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Fang Xinyu had seen the training of these people and thought they were quite good. They'd be very useful after seeing more bloodshed. Adding the sailors, the escorts, and the women, there were only about 300 people.
Zhao Xiaofei personally boarded the ship and looked at the cabin prepared for Li Sihong. It was quite comfortable, with a small bed, a cabinet, and a dressing table. It was considered a luxury room.
"That's right, you won't suffer too much on the boat these few days. Here's some medicine, take one when you get seasick!" Zhao Xiaofei took out a bottle of medicine. This was the seasickness medicine he bought specifically. Of course, the 100 escorts in Tianjin also had a bottle, but they didn't have as many as this one.
Li Sihong took it, looked at Zhao Xiaofei and said, "I see! You should take care of yourself when I'm not around! After all, the princess is still young and I can't take good care of her."
"I will take good care of myself, and so will you. I will find you soon when someone sends a letter to the capital!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
