Ji Yunkai really didn't know anything about tea and water. When he suddenly heard Xiao Jiu'an ask about it, he was stunned and asked stupidly: "What's the difference between water?"
This stupid woman really doesn’t know!
Xiao Jiuan's expression changed and became a bit gloomy, and Ji Yunkai could clearly feel the temperature around him dropping.
Ji Yunkai trembled and said quickly: "Could it be the snow water you collected, Your Majesty?" Why did this man suddenly become so particular?
Has Xiao Jiu'an been so particular before? I don't think so. Although she ate fine food in Prince Yanbei's palace before, she didn't know how to make a fuss about tea. Neither she nor Xiao Jiu'an was such a particular person, and they had never received such an education since they were young.
.
"Snow water?" Xiao Jiu'an's voice was cold and icy. Ji Yunkai felt his heart tremble and he didn't even dare to say anything. But under Xiao Jiu'an's low pressure, he had to speak against his scalp: "Your Majesty, this
What kind of water is it?”
Ji Yunkai drank another drink seriously, and even poured a bowl of water out of the jar, but...
She still couldn't see it, and certainly couldn't taste it.
As a person who has not received this kind of education since she was a child, how could she possibly tell what kind of water is water and what kind of tea is tea? She does not have the tongue of a gourmet.
"Hmph...the water you want." Xiao Jiuan snorted angrily, his voice as cold as ice slag.
"The water I want?" Ji Yunkai paused for a moment before reacting: "Ah? Water from Yufeng Mountain?"
She casually asked for water, and Xiao Jiuan actually found it for her!
"Yes." Xiao Jiu'an nodded coldly and dignifiedly, as if he was cold and should not be approached by strangers.
Obviously, Xiao Jiuan was angry and unhappy. Ji Yun opened his mouth and swallowed back the sentence "I just said it casually, Your Majesty, you actually took it seriously."
She was certain that as long as she said this, Xiao Jiuan would probably strangle her to death. For the sake of her life, she had to say something nice.
"My lord, did you get this water yourself? Did you get the injury on your back because you were getting water?" Ji Yunkai suddenly remembered that the injury on Xiao Jiuan's back was scratched by a stone.
There is no mountain road from Yanbei to the capital, so it is impossible for Xiao Jiuan to be scratched by a stone. If he was injured on Yufeng Mountain, then it can be explained.
"It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it." Xiao Jiuan was still cold, but the surrounding temperature had eased a lot.
Ji Yunkai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had escaped.
Thinking of Xiao Jiuan's tiredness and injuries yesterday, he felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but said: "My lord, it's just a jar of water. There's no need for you to go there in person, and there's no need to hurry up at this time. You're going to be injured. I
…I would be worried.”
Especially when rushing to Yufengshui at this time, can Xiao Jiuan rest during the journey?
No wonder Xiao Jiuan said he was tired last night, no wonder he had a fever last night. According to Xiao Jiuan's physique, even if he was injured by the poison in southern Xinjiang, he would not have a fever after traveling for several days.
This man has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and his body has adapted to it.
Who would have known that this man was not just rushing back to the capital from Yanbei.
Although she doesn't know much about water, nor does she know the value of the water in Yufeng Mountain, but...
A man who can take her casual words to heart and follow them through would be lying if he said he wasn't moved.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunkai looked at Xiao Jiu'an with an even gentler look. Deep in his eyes was a warmth that she had not even noticed.
Xiao Jiuan's expression softened, and he no longer looked as stern as before, and he said in a low voice: "I'm just passing by, don't worry."
"Don't do this again next time. There will be a long time to come. Don't rush now." Even if you want to get water from Yufeng Mountain, you can wait until after the new year.
This man is really...
"Yeah." Xiao Jiu'an responded, but looking at his expression, you could tell that he would still do the same thing next time something like this happens.
How could he possibly let his woman break her trust and make the world think that what his woman said was useless?
Ji Yunkai said that he was going to get water from Yufeng Mountain. No matter how many dangers or difficulties he encountered, he would definitely bring water from Yufeng Mountain to Ji Yunkai when he came back.
This is what he, as a man, should do.
"Speaking of the water in Yufeng Mountain, I thought of something. I made a bet with the emperor. If you come back before the Lantern Festival, he will reward me with the small fishing village of Xinye. In return, I will help him promote the six reforms. Now, you
I came back on New Year's Eve, do you think the emperor will keep his promise?" Ji Yunkai didn't want to mention the water of Yufeng Mountain again, lest Xiao Jiu'an would think of something that she, the person who mentioned it, had completely forgotten, so he quickly changed the topic.
"That small fishing village in Xinye? What are you doing here? That place is of little use and extremely dangerous." Xiao Jiuan frowned and thought carefully about the use of Xinye.
That place... can't station troops, and can't relocate residents. There are tsunamis from time to time, which is very dangerous.
"Who says it is not useful? That place is of great use. I have carefully checked the place in Xinye, which is close to the sea. There are one or two small tsunamis every year, concentrated in March and July. In addition, the sea has always been
Calm down. As long as we are prepared during these two periods, there won't be much danger." Ji Yunkai really did her homework, although she was not sure at that time that Xiao Jiu'an would come back during the Lantern Festival.
But she still made preparations as a habit.
"What do you want that place for? Going to sea?" Xiao Jiuan leaned on the back of his chair and tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously.
The naval armies of Tianqi, Nanjiang, Beichen and Tianwu are not strong, and they don't have such large ships to go to sea. If we really do it... I'm afraid it will be very dangerous.
Everyone knows the risks of going to sea, but it is not impossible to take the risk. He remembers that the wealthy people in the south have ships that can go to sea. Although they are small ships, they are also very dangerous, but every time they go to sea, they gain a lot of rewards.
.
"Going to sea is inevitable, but not now... I want that land now to build salt fields and catch seafood in the offshore area." To go to sea, you must build a ship. She has investigated it. With Tianqi's current shipbuilding ability,
It is completely impossible to build a large ship that can go to sea.
"Build a salt field? Get salt?" Xiao Jiuan's eyes lit up, "You know how?"
"I will." Ji Yunkai answered affirmatively.
Well, she didn't know how to do it when she made the bet with the emperor, but then she did some research and found that drying salt is not that difficult. As long as she is allowed to try it a few more times, she will definitely succeed.
Even if we can't succeed, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in taking that place.
Even if she didn't know anything, she could still make the emperor feel uncomfortable for a while.
"Do you know what this means?" Xiao Jiu'an looked at Ji Yunkai carefully up and down... (To be continued)
