Yingying was the most impatient to learn calligraphy, but since Jiang Miao left, she was more active than anyone else. Shen Yanqing was impressed by her enthusiasm for learning.
"But Daddy just promised Yingying to go see the lanterns..."
The little girl wrung her fingers with a confused look on her face.
She wanted to see her mother as soon as possible and also wanted to go out to play, but she didn't know what to choose for a while.
"There will be people who guess lantern riddles during the lanterns. How about we learn calligraphy while admiring the lanterns?"
Han Yu was really smart and he quickly thought of a solution.
Shen Yanqing watched from the side, his little girl was so amused by him that she smiled happily, and she was very pleased with this bastard.
Naughty is a bit naughty, but he is really nice to Yingying.
If he can persevere in the future, he can relent and grant him permission.
Han Yu didn't know that he had a crush on his prospective father-in-law, and he didn't know what he needed to bring with him when he went out to enjoy the lanterns, especially enough money.
He wanted to please the little girl, so when he went out to play, he naturally wanted to buy the little girl delicious food and fun things to make her happy.
Shen Yanqing originally wanted to accompany them, but when he suddenly received a letter from the capital, he had no choice but to ask Zhu Kuan to follow him.
"Take good care of the young masters and come back early."
"yes."
The little ones haven't gone out for a long time. Since Jiang Miao left, the atmosphere in the Shen family has become solemn. They can finally go out to relax, and they all wear nice clothes.
Everyone in Qiongzhou City knew them. People greeted the little guys wherever they went. Even the shops on the street rushed to give them things. After a while, the arms of the children were filled with food and toys. The road is almost out of sight.
"Thank you uncle"
"Thank you, Auntie."
These little guys are well-behaved and sweet-tongued. Although they are children of noble families, they have no airs at all. The people of Qiongzhou City like them very much.
"You can take whatever you like, sir. Without Master Shen and the princess, we in Qiongzhou would not have the good life we have now."
"No, the princess has been away for so many days, and I don't know what happened to her. However, our princess is blessed by Bodhisattva, and we will definitely return safely."
Everyone started talking about Jiang Miao from a few little ones, and a group of people began to speculate about what she was doing when she went to sea this time, and whether she would find anything good again.
When the sea was forbidden in the previous dynasty, they were full of fear of the overseas world. They always felt that the vast sea was full of barbarians who were still uncivilized.
But Jiang Miao went to sea this time, and they all hoped that she would find something overseas. Maybe the other side of the sea would not be as scary as they imagined, otherwise Jiang Miao would not have gone out.
"At first the princess said she would be back within a year, but it's already been two months. It's almost here."
The little ones played in the street for a day, and when they came back, they were all held by the servants, except Zhao Yan, the youngest, who had already fallen asleep.
Yingying held a piece of osmanthus candy in her hand, which she bought on the street and gave to Shen Yanqing.
The little girl was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She was still struggling to go to the main courtyard while nestled in the nurse's arms.
"Tangtian, give it to daddy..."
The wet nurse coaxed her, "Daddy has already rested now. Madam, will you come back tomorrow to deliver sweets? Let's go back to bed first and come back to see daddy after we sleep well."
"good……"
The little girl nodded and fell asleep peacefully, still holding the piece of osmanthus candy tightly in her hand.
At this time, the main courtyard was brightly lit, and Shen Yanqing had been in the study all afternoon.
"Sir, please eat something first."
He toasted, put the food box he was carrying on the table, and advised with concern.
Zhu Kuan is a newcomer sent by Shen Yanqing from the secret guard camp after arriving in Qiongzhou. Zhu Kuan usually follows several children, and he must have people waiting around him.
Toast had just arrived, but he was already familiar with Shen Yanqing in the secret guard camp and knew that he was a good master who loved his people like a son and was considerate of his servants.
Since receiving the letter from the capital, the master has locked himself in the study and has not come out. He is worried about toasting, fearing that something will happen to him.
The lamps were already lit in the room, and as the candles flickered, the man gradually came back to his senses.
He glanced at the anxious-looking boy beside him and nodded slightly.
"Put it down first, I'll eat it later."
"yes."
After toasting and sighing, he turned around and went out, closing the door behind him.
He didn't know what was written in the letter, which made their omnipotent adults panic for the first time.
In the dim light of the candle, Shen Yanqing unfolded the letter again.
Zhao Jing's letter was sent in a hurry, but more than a month had passed since it was sent. That is to say, the time when this letter was sent coincided exactly with the time when Jiang Miao went to sea. If he had received it earlier, he would never have let it go. Jiang Miao goes to sea.
Without him, the content of this letter is related to going to sea.
Xu Ziwen discovered a powerful force at sea half a year ago. This force basically controls all the islands near Dayan, and even has a tendency to continue to expand outward.
He searched for a long time but could not find the mastermind behind this force, but Xu Ziwen guessed that based on their ambitions, their plans were probably not small.
Dayan may be part of their plan.
The sea was a completely unknown territory for them. If Xu Ziwen hadn't been there, they might not have known anything about it when Dayan was surrounded.
Xu Ziwen has only occupied three small islands in three years overseas. This force that occupies so much cannot be developed overnight. I am afraid it has been dormant for decades.
Not knowing where they came from or their purpose was what worried Shen Yanqing the most.
If Jiang Miao bumped into them, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.
The food on the table was completely cold, but Shen Yanqing still didn't take a bite. At this time, his hands and feet were cold and he was feeling panicked.
If something happened to Jiang Miao, he would never forgive himself.
No, he wants to go to sea!
After making the decision, Shen Yanqing started to take action. He didn't have many people in Qiongzhou City. He went to sea for reconnaissance and rescue, so the people he brought with him had to be good at water and strong in force. He thought about the people and finally found the best one. Candidate.
Shi Lei.
Shi Lei was sent by him to strengthen coastal defense three years ago. In the past three years, both his force value and strategy have grown by leaps and bounds. Moreover, he has been at the beach and is familiar with things on the sea. In addition, he has sailors in his hands. It is most suitable to take him with you on this trip to sea.
Thinking of this, Shen Yanqing began to write a letter to Shi Lei, and then he called Guo Zhao. The two talked in the study at midnight, and they came out of the study when the sky turned white.
Shen Yingxue was pregnant recently, and she usually acted cautiously. Guo Zhao was suddenly called by Shen Yanqing. She felt uneasy and kept leaning on the bed waiting for him.
She yawned countless times throughout the night, and finally waited until someone came back. She opened her sleepy eyes and glanced at him. She wanted to get out of bed and help him take off his clothes, but Guo Zhao stopped her.
