"Husband!" Li Sihong looked at Zhao Xiaofei with tears in her eyes.
"Just sit still in the cabin and don't come out to see me off. It's windy outside, don't catch a cold! There are medicines I prepared for you in the cabinet. I've written down what medicine to take for each symptom. Don't take the wrong one!" Zhao Xiaofei reminded her while wiping her tears.
Seeing that Li Sihong didn't say anything, Zhao Xiaofei said, "Don't cry, otherwise your face will be red from crying. If you cry again, I won't be able to get off this boat."
"It would be better if you can't get down!" Li Sihong simply hugged Zhao Xiaofei and cried loudly.
Xiao Si was listening outside, and he sighed: What can this soft-hearted young lady achieve by going to the south? After these days of contact, Xiao Si knew that this prince consort was not an ordinary person. He was not stupid either. When he was in the capital, he found that he was guarding outside the Misty Rain Tower, and there was no sound from inside, but this prince consort could conjure up so many things. Just now, his son also told him that there were two times when a group of people appeared out of nowhere to harm the prince consort. He was sure that this prince consort was either a god or a monster, but he didn't care. Anyway, his life was given by the prince consort. His two sons were saved by the prince consort, and even his daughters-in-law were arranged for him. All the honor and disgrace of his family were given by him! Without the prince consort, he would not be where he is today. Even if the prince consort wanted to rebel, Xiao Si would follow him.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu were in the cabin, saying goodbye to their wives. Xiao Wen said to Zhao Cai, "Wife! If you're pregnant, please write a letter and ask my dad to bring it back!"
Xiao Wu said to Jin Bao, "My dear! Take good care of your parents over there, and you won't have to worry about me. Take good care of the young mistress, and spend more time with her when you have nothing to do!"
Xiao Si stood at the door, listening to the two people's sweet talk for a long time, and felt goose bumps all over his body. He checked the time again, finally knocked on the door and said, "Master! It's time to set sail!"
"I understand!" Zhao Xiaofei replied.
The door opened, and the young lady inside was still crying. Xiao Si lowered his head and said, "Master, if you don't get off the boat now, you will miss the time!"
"Xiao Si! Write to me as soon as you arrive in Nanjing!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Don't worry, young master!" Xiao Si said.
Zhao Xiaofei finished his words and strode out of the cabin. Li Sihong didn't dare call out to him, but silently shed tears. Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu heard the prince consort leave and followed him out of the cabin. Before leaving, Xiao Wen even kissed Zhaocai without hesitation. Xiao Wu cried out in regret after getting off the boat, saying he should have kissed his wife too, otherwise he might not see her for two years.
Zhou Shuai and Wan Shan had already disembarked. Zhou Shuai said, "The ancients were truly amazing. They were able to build such a large wooden boat."
"I heard that Zheng He's treasure ship was even bigger than this, equivalent to several football fields," said Wanshan.
"What a shame! Man, I've never been in the navy. If only I could command a warship like this and go to Europe to see if there are any beautiful princesses or something, and then take her home to be my wife!" Zhou Shuai began to fantasize.
"Haha! Brother! You also want to be a prince consort? I heard that Chongzhen also has a Princess Zhaoren. You can try hard!" Wanshan said.
"It's hopeless! We have already married two people! You want to let the little princess be my concubine? What are you thinking?" Zhou Shuai said.
"So you are planning to harm a foreign princess, right?" Wanshan said.
"Yes! This is so interesting! Leave more of our own kind in Europe and let them be proud of their Chinese ancestry!" Zhou Shuai said.
Zhao Xiaofei came over and said, "First, let's keep half of Jiangnan! I don't care how many buddies you want to marry when the time comes. I will give 999 taels of silver to every wedding."
"For the membership fee, I want to go too!" Wan Shan said. Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu listened from behind, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
"Where is Brother Fang?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"He! After arranging cabins for his two wives, he went around the ship and said he wanted to get to know the ship better." Zhou Shuai said.
"Okay! Let's go down first!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
With that, the five men disembarked, and the sailors began hoisting the sails. The boat slowly sailed away from the dock, and Fang Xinyu appeared at the bow, waving goodbye to the three men. The boat slowly drifted away on the river, until they could no longer see the people. Then, the five men turned and left, returning to the inn.
Li Deliang and Mao Jiu were waiting at the inn. When they saw Zhao Xiaofei return, Li Deliang stood up and said, "Prince Consort! When are we leaving for Beijing?"
"Early tomorrow morning!"
