Chapter 199 Fifteen Guards and Eight Thousand Households in Liaodong

Chapter 198

The Eighth Princess is sailing slowly. God seems to be very kind to Cheng Shijie. The wind and waves are not too big, and there are no other shortcomings except that the ship sails a little slower.

After sleeping in the cabin, when Cheng Shijie woke up, he found that it was already getting slightly brighter. Cheng Shijie was not in the habit of staying in bed. He got up, washed up, and came to the deck.

The sailor at the controls of the Eighth Princess saluted Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie walked around on the deck and was about to go back when he suddenly found Zhu Weiti lying on the railing on the deck, looking quietly below.

Cheng Shijie walked towards Zhu Weiti. The sound of wind and waves covered up the sound of Cheng Shijie's footsteps. Zhu Weiti did not notice it until Cheng Shijie walked up behind Zhu Weiti and asked in a low voice: "Princess, what are you looking at?"

"ah!"

Zhu Weiti had no idea that someone suddenly came out from behind and screamed in fright. The person subconsciously hid to the side. When she turned around, she saw that it was Cheng Shijie, but her foot was stuck in the leaky gutter on the deck, and her foot was sprained.

Suddenly, the body lost its center of gravity and was about to fall to the deck.

Cheng Shijie had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he grabbed her hand and held her up from the waist. Zhu Weiti was so frightened that she grabbed Cheng Shijie's hands and pressed them against her chest like a life-saving straw. She still said in panic: "I'm scared to death."

Did you scare me to death?"

Zhu Weiti had just stopped breathing, and instantly realized that it was Cheng Shijie's hand that she had grabbed and pressed against her chest. Her face suddenly froze, and she screamed again. She hurriedly threw Cheng Shijie's hand away, turned around, and fled to the cabin.

She was walking, and there was a sharp pain in her ankle that felt like breaking. She couldn't stand and was about to fall again.

Cheng Shijie saw that she seemed to have sprained her foot and supported her.

Hearing Zhu Weiti's scream, Gu Ziyi hurriedly came out and said: "Princess, princess, what happened?"

"fine!"

Zhu Weiti struggled to stand upright. However, the sea was not on land. The ship was shaking and he could not stand firmly on one foot. Fortunately, Cheng Shijie was beside him. Perhaps he was blown by the sea breeze in the middle of the night. At this time, Zhu Weiti

A little cold, she suddenly felt a little warm on Cheng Shijie's shoulders.

Zhu Weiti and Cheng Shijie have been married for nearly three months, but they have never had any substantial contact. However, their relationship is very special. During this time in the capital, Cheng Shijie accompanied him every time, whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

He eats with Zhu Weiti and is able to accommodate his preferences and tastes.

Zhu Weiti also knew why Cheng Shijie was unwilling to accept her, which made Zhu Weiti hate her status as a princess. How great would it be if she were the daughter of a commoner?

In fact, Zhu Weiti had not thought about the crux of the problem. If she was really a commoner's daughter, she would probably be on two parallel lines with Cheng Shijie, and she would have no interaction in her life.

"Well, sit down for a while and don't move your sprained feet..."

Cheng Shijie unconsciously glanced at Zhu Weiti's swollen chest. Even through the cold clothes, he could still feel the firmness and fullness inside. When he put his hand over her waist, he could also feel the strength and elasticity there.

Zhu Weiti thought about holding on to the railing on the deck and jumping back into the cabin. However, the idea was very good, but in fact it was difficult to do. Although the Eighth Princess had more than 800 tons and was considered a large ship in the Ming Dynasty,

It was still very bumpy, and Zhu Weiti could not help but feel the shock to her injured leg, which made her frown frequently in pain.

Cheng Shijie couldn't bear to see it and said: "I don't know how serious your sprain is. If you are not careful, you will easily become lame..."

Zhu Weiti bit her lip and wanted to move forward.

"excuse me……"

Cheng Shijie confessed his crime and picked Zhu Weiti up by her waist and legs.

"ah!"

Zhu Weiti never expected that Cheng Shijie would suddenly pick her up and struggle to get down: "Put me down quickly."

"I don't want to find a lame woman,"

Cheng Shijie just hugged Zhu Weiti and said with a smile: "Princess, just think of me as a doctor. I will not avoid the doctor's treatment of illnesses and injuries..."

Zhu Weiti did not take the opportunity and pressed her body tightly into Cheng Shijie's arms. She was afraid that she would fall if she struggled again, so she turned her face away and shyly let Cheng Shijie carry her back to the room. Her heart was beating harder and her body was

They all felt slightly hot.

Back in the cabin, Cheng Shijie directly put Zhu Weiti on the bed, took off her shoes and socks and inspected the injury.

Although Cheng Shijie is not a doctor, he has been a doctor for a long time. In addition, Ning Haijun suffered too many injuries from falls during training, so he knows a little bit about medicine. He looked at Zhu Weiti's ankle, which was only slightly swollen. It looked like it was not.

No bones were broken.

"Just wait, I'll get you some medicine!"

Cheng Shijie stood up and left directly. Zhu Weiti's face became even hotter thinking about the way Cheng Shijie held her just now.

Gu Ziyi came in from the outer room at this time. She knew the importance and lowered her voice: "Princess, I saw..."

"you shut up!"

Gu Ziyi also wanted to explain that Zhu Weiti raised her hand to scare Gu Ziyi, but her threats had no deterrent effect.

While talking, Cheng Shijie returned from the cabin, holding a bottle of wound medicine.

"You lie down first and I'll apply medicine for you..."

But at this moment, Cheng Shijie saw Gu Ziyi and gave the medicine to Gu Ziren: "Who is that..."

"Slave Gu Ziyi!"

"Come and apply medicine to the princess!"

"good!"

Only then did Zhu Weiti feel that Gu Ziyi was a bit redundant.

Watching Cheng Shijie leave, Zhu Weiti began to scold Gu Ziyi: "I usually see how sharp you are, why are you so stupid today..."

"Princess……"

Gu Ziyi gently applied the medicine to Zhu Weiti.

Zhu Weiti was lying on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, but her thoughts were wandering in her heart.

Being held by your man is a kind of happiness, a kind of thoughtfulness, and a kind of deep comfort.

Cheng Shijie is so gentle to others...

Zhu Weiti sighed slightly, pulled out the quilt to cover her body, and didn't care about her injured foot. She thought that a woman in this world is just looking for a husband. When she thought about it, she felt that her experience was really miserable.

Unconsciously, a tear slipped from the corner of my eye, and it became cold as it slid past my ears...

Unconsciously, Zhu Weiti fell asleep with random thoughts.

When I woke up, the sky was bright.

Zhu Weiti was shocked. She had to prepare meals for Cheng Shijie. How could she have expected that she would sleep so well?

Zhu Weiti hurriedly sat up and looked at the ankle injury. The swelling had subsided and there was still some redness. She felt strange in her heart. She squeezed it and it only hurt slightly, but it was still bearable.

Zhu Weiti put on her shirt and socks and got up to prepare for cooking: "Zi Yi, what time is it now?"

"Not even three moments!"

Zhu Weiti fell asleep for more than two hours without realizing it. She suddenly felt anxious: "Has your consort eaten?"

Before Gu Ziyi could speak, Cheng Shijie's voice came from outside the cabin door: "Has the princess woke up?"

"Maybe not!"

A palace maid outside the door didn't know whether Zhu Weiti had woken up, and then said: "Consort, do you want me to go and ask?"

"No!"

"I'll bring the princess a bowl of seafood porridge and wait for her to get up to drink it... I'll ask her if she still needs some medicine on her feet?"

Zhu Weiti wanted to call Cheng Shijie, but she did not speak.

Some things cannot be rushed.

…

The long winter is finally over, the ice in the rivers in Liaonan has melted, the bare branches have sprouted wisps of new green, and the earth is full of life again.

Unlike the Central Plains, Henan, Shandong, and North Zhili did not receive much snow this winter, which means that the drought will continue in the sixth year of Chongzhen. This terrible little glacier climate can really drive farmers who rely on the sky crazy.

However, Liaonan has no such worries, because since November last year, there have been several heavy snowfalls. Even at the end of February, there are still 50 or 60 centimeters of snow. It is basically certain that Liaonan will not be short of snow.

rainwater.

To be fair, the Liaodong Peninsula is a treasure land. Whether it is for industrial development or farming, it is very convenient. It has a temperate monsoon climate and has superior natural conditions. The Liaodong Peninsula has very convenient transportation. Since the ships in the late Ming Dynasty had a shallow draft,

Unlike the giant ships of 10,000 tons in later generations, which often have a draft of more than ten meters, in such a situation, the construction of a port really requires a certain natural geographical environment.

But the problem is that the current draft of ships is at most three to four meters. A large ship with 2,500 materials like the Eight Princess has a displacement of more than 800 tons, and the fully loaded draft is less than one foot, only nine feet six inches. The entire Liaodong Peninsula

Basically, you can dock at all coastal areas.

Even further north, there are dozens of rivers such as the Liao River and the Taizi River that can be used for water transportation.

When Cheng Shijie arrived in Jinzhou, Liaonan, he did not dock at the southernmost port of Lushun, but was close to the west port of Jinggang. There is also an east port in Jinzhou. The land distance between the two ports is less than 300 miles. In fact, Liaodong

Most of the peninsula is within 150 miles of coastal ports.
