"What happened next? Did they discover the New World?"
"Did the British gunboats defeat the Portuguese fleet?"
"Is their ship really full of gold?"
Two heads, one big and one small, surrounded Wen Jin, urging her to reveal the story.
"If you want to know what happened next time, let's listen to the explanation next time!" Wen Jin picked up the paperweight and slapped it on the table. He really has the flavor of a storyteller.
"Auntie, I'm not tired," Yu'er grabbed her hand and shook it, "You lie down and talk, and I'll write as you say!"
"This book is so interesting. Are the countries, people and things in the book real? Where did I hear about it?
"Why have I never heard of it? Is it in my father's library?"
Xiao Yuchen immediately shook his head, "I have never seen this book. Haven't you already read the book about navigation? Have you seen this?"
Yu'er shook her head repeatedly, "I haven't seen it before. If I had seen it, how could I miss it!"
"Auntie, please tell me quickly!"
Wen Jin couldn't resist the entanglement between father and son, so he continued talking for a while.
In fact, most of these stories are based on the history of the rise of Europe, Columbus's discovery of the New World, and the European Age of Discovery.
Of course, a lot of the history I learned back then was given back to the teacher.
Therefore, many of the details were half-made up by her.
Maybe it's because of the fantasy coloring that it makes it even more fascinating.
"and after?"
It was already dinner time, and Yu'er was still tireless, holding her pen and looking at Wen Jin with burning eyes.
Wen Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You wrote more this day than I did in the previous three to five days!"
"Isn't that just right? It means that I can write quickly and save my mother's energy! This book can also be written faster...
"Eh? Why did the Queen suddenly write this book now?"
Yu'er looked at Wen Jin suspiciously.
Xiao Yuchen's eyes also fell on Wen Jin.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately remembered what she once said...since the fishermen in Dagu believed in the Dragon King.
Then they will use the Dragon King to convince them...
So, this book is related to the "Dragon King"?
But I haven’t seen the Dragon King mentioned in her book? I have never heard of the country mentioned in her story... How can it be related to the Dragon King?
"The story is exciting, but... can it really be effective?" Xiao Yuchen asked.
Wen Jin said, "Smooth big mirror, are you ready?"
Xiao Yuchen nodded, "It's ready."
Wen Jin nodded, "Then please go to Dagu in person, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, "Why should I go to Dagu?"
"Sacrifice to heaven, worship the 'Dragon King'." Wen Jin said.
Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly when he heard this, and his eyes fell on the small parchment scroll written by Yu'er again.
"No wonder you didn't have anyone around you when you wrote this story.
"I thought you were afraid that if this wonderful story was known in advance, there would be no surprises!"
Xiao Yuchen nodded slightly. It turned out that she wanted to make the origin of this book a secret!
But he still wondered...how exactly was Wen Jin going to do it?
He suddenly stood up and said, "Yu'er, are you tired? Just rest your hands and I'll write.
"Jin'er, keep talking!"
Wen Jin: "..." You two can still change shifts, please keep me talking, your mouth is not tired, and your brain is not tired, right?
Wen Jin shook her head helplessly. Under the tough talk from the father and son, she had no choice but to continue talking for a while.
In the eyes of others, the emperor Xiao Yuchen, a warrior, actually had amazing imitation abilities.
He imitated Yu'er's calligraphy so perfectly that even Yu'er was confused.
"Is this written by me? Yes, these pages are all written by me, and the following ones are..."
The words on the back also look like his!
Wen Jin spoke for a long time.
How Columbus discovered the New World, how Portugal immigrated, and how it quickly rose to become a maritime overlord.
Although Britain was a step behind, it quickly "rich the country and strengthened the people" by plundering Portuguese merchant ships.
"Tsk, this kind of gangster concept is really eye-opening!" Yu'er exclaimed while listening.
Xiao Yuchen finally took a break.
"Daddy, are you tired of writing? I'll do it!"
"Shh-"
Xiao Yuchen waved his hand, "The two of us are replacing each other, so of course we are not tired. Your mother is responsible for the work of two people alone, and she is really tired."
Wen Jin's eyelids trembled.
Yu'er nodded sensibly, "Then I'll come after school tomorrow."
Xiao Yuchen grabbed him and warned, "This matter, including the story inside..."
"I know!" Yu'er chuckled, "It needs to be kept secret! I won't tell anyone!"
The family of three had a supper together, and then Yu'er skipped back to the East Palace.
With the addition of Xiao Yuchen and Yuer.
Wen Jin originally planned to finish the "Little Parchment Book" in one month, but he didn't expect to finish it in ten days.
It also went through proofreading, revision and copying by Yu'er and Xiao Yuchen.
This book is a complete success.
The emperor and empress were going to Dagu to worship the Dragon King, which had already been scheduled.
Si Tianjian looked at the future.
Fortunately, Kyoto is not too far from Dagu, and is about the same distance from the hunting ground where the emperor went for autumn hunting.
But now, Wen Jin has a bulging belly and cannot move too fast.
In fact, she was already more than eight months pregnant and really shouldn't have to travel so hard.
But after much thought about this matter, she decided that it would be easiest for her to do it herself, and it would probably have the best effect.
"It doesn't matter. I have prepared all kinds of emergency pills and asked the midwife Wen and the imperial doctor to follow me. Don't be afraid if it happens along the way."
Wen Jin made sufficient preparations.
Dagu officials and people were very moved when they heard about the Queen's condition and came to offer sacrifices to heaven very "devoutly".
"Your Majesty really cares about the people! She really cares about us fishermen!"
"She is a queen. She is not raising a baby in the palace at this time, but she still takes the trouble to come to Dagu to worship the heaven and the Dragon King. She is so sincere!"
"The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The guard of honor of the emperor and queen passed by the official road of Dagu.
People on both sides of the road knelt down and worshiped.
The officials of Dagu had already received the notice that the emperor and queen were coming, and had set up an altar on the seaside early.
Cattle and sheep were sacrificed.
Before the emperor offered sacrifices, there were many monks chanting sutras on the beach.
The emperor and empress stood side by side at the altar.
The salty sea breeze blew whistlingly.
It was supposed to be good weather today.
But a cloud came from nowhere, a thick cumulonimbus, blocking the sun.
Xiao Yuchen quietly shook Wen Jin's hand.
Wen Jin took a deep breath and looked up at a high ground in the distance.
Without sunlight... the effect seems to be a little worse?
The mirror is already in place, all that's left is the sun to shine in...
Wait for the monks to finish chanting.
The sacrificial priest who specializes in killing sacrificial animals comes forward with a knife and slaughters the cattle and sheep offered as sacrifices.
Then the emperor offered incense and offered incense as a sacrifice.
Xiao Yuchen looked back at Wen Jin.
Wen Jin took a deep breath and nodded slightly at him, "I'm ready."
