Chapter 764 - 367 Reluctant Farewell_3
She hurriedly suggested, "Big Uncle, properly cultivate this Qi Chengguang; he seems to possess great talent. Once you’ve straightened things out over there, you’ll need to find someone trustworthy and talented to guard the southeastern gateway for Daqian. This person should be able to shoulder a heavy responsibility."
Liang Jinzhao looked at Qian Yixiu’s sparkling eyes and smiled, "Wife, you think just like me. I’ve brought him along this time, hoping he won’t disappoint me."
Qian Yixiu also told him that this year was when the foreigner, Old Foreign Li, would come from Daqian to pick up Jack and Sean. But Jack and Sean had already made it clear that they didn’t want to return to their country, as they had married and had children here and found Daqian prosperous and wealthy. She had already dispatched someone with their letters to find Lin Qing and had paid a hefty sum for Lin Qing to stay on guard in Peng Town. If Lin Qing received Old Foreign Li, he was to take him to meet Liang Jinzhao and see if they could conduct some good business, preferably buying their sea navigation maps. Qian Yixiu had specifically prepared items that Old Foreign Li liked, including some pearls from Cave Sky Pool...
She then suggested, "Once the navy is established, it would be best if Big Uncle could petition the Emperor to change the navy to a maritime force. Gentle as water, flowers floating on the stream, mountains green and water exquisite... Water can be described both as a magnificent, mighty man and as a gently affectionate lady. Unlike the sea, boundless and vast, powerful enough to awe the mountains and rivers, its surging waves crashing against the shores; when you speak of it, it can only be a tough man, and not a lady. Therefore, ’maritime force’ would be more imposing and also more accurate." This was an idea that Qian Yixiu had long wanted to bring up, because ’navy’ seemed to lack the imposing presence of a maritime force from her previous life.
After hearing this, Liang Jinzhao was thrilled beyond measure, sitting up straight and saying repeatedly, "Excellent, excellent, absolutely excellent. ’Maritime force’ indeed better showcases the grandeur of my Daqian’s naval forces." After speaking, he rolled over and pinned Qian Yixiu down, kissing her and murmuring, "Darling, you are truly a treasure given to me by the heavens, not only my virtuous inner helper but also my aide and capable assistant. Your husband can’t hold back any longer and wants to cherish you again..."
The next morning, Liang Jinzhao woke up first. He didn’t want to wake Qian Yixiu, but the rustling noises still roused her.
Uncle Liang said, "You slept late last night, don’t get up. I’ll have someone tell the elders you’re sick."
Qian Yixiu snorted, "Every time you’re about to leave, I get sick. Everyone will laugh at me to death."
She sat up, feeling her back about to break, and grabbed Uncle Liang’s arm to give it a bite, scolding, "I’m in so much pain, it’s all your fault."
