Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 232 Arriving at Sea Country

Li Xiao only found out about it when he was chatting with Ouyang Yiyun on the way south.

Although Haiguo is a country, it is actually a small island.

In addition to the capital of Haiguo, there are five major cities on the main island. Each city is equivalent to a larger town in Dali, and each city has five or six towns under its jurisdiction.

This shows how small the sea country is.

But there are some small islands around Haiguo. There are a small number of people living on the islands, like villages, scattered around the main island of Haiguo.

The capital of the Sea Kingdom is only three hours away from the port by carriage.The group only had lunch at the inn, and then continued on their way.

When we arrived at Yecheng, the capital of the country, it happened to be the beginning of the Youshi period.As soon as the group entered the city gate, they saw King Ding and his son Ding who came to greet them.

Since it was getting late, the two parties only exchanged brief greetings before the large troops entered the palace together.

The group will live in the palace from now on, and a palace banquet will be held soon for the officials to meet their eldest princess.

But today was just a simple family banquet. As soon as the group entered the palace, they went directly to Zhengyang Palace.

In front of the Zhengyang Palace, the monarch Murong Jing, the eldest queen Sun Qian, and the concubines and princes and princesses were already waiting in front of the palace.

Seeing the visitor from a distance, Murong Jing couldn't help but take two steps forward, looking at the approaching team with excitement in her eyes.

Finally, Li Yuan and his party also arrived in front of the temple.

Since they met each other, Li Yuan still hasn't been able to remember the past, but it does not prevent her from missing and being close to her relatives.

He slowly stepped forward, bent his knees slightly, and said with excitement, "I've seen the emperor brother!"

When Li Yuan bent his knees, Murong Jing had already stepped forward to help him up. Now that he heard Li Yuan's words of "royal brother", even the head of a country became red-eyed.

"Mo'er, brother finally waited for you."

While talking, others also came forward. After everyone saw the ceremony, Murong Jing led everyone into the hall.

"After a long journey, I think everyone is exhausted, so today we will have a simple family banquet. Tomorrow, a palace banquet will be held in the palace to welcome everyone!"

"I have ordered people to clean up Ziyang Palace. In the next few days, everyone can live in the palace with peace of mind. During the day, Yue Ming will take everyone out for a walk and have a good tour of Coconut City."

The guests at the family dinner were all members of the family. The royal family of the Sea Kingdom now consisted of two siblings, Murong Jing and Li Yuan. Prince Ding was their direct cousin.

As for Murong Jing's concubines in the harem, today only the queen and a few more important concubines came. As for her natal family, I'm sorry, in Murong Jing's eyes, they are not qualified to participate in tonight's family banquet.

After the family banquet, Murong Jing personally sent the people to Ziyang Palace, asked the palace people to take good care of them, and left with the queen and others.

We have been traveling back and forth for nearly a month. Due to the excitement on the road, everyone did not feel tired.On the contrary, now that I have arrived in the sea country, after stopping, the fatigue of the journey has finally come back.

Li Xiao slept until dawn the next day. When she woke up, Duanmu Yueming had been here for a while.

Embarrassed, he quickly packed himself up, had a simple breakfast, and then the group left the palace.

As the capital of the Sea Kingdom, Yecheng is as prosperous as the capital city.The difference is that because Haiguo is surrounded by sea and gets a lot of rain, the streets are mostly paved with cobblestones. In this way, even if it rains, the roads will be free from mud.

There are many shops on both sides of the wide street, and the sound of hawking is endless.Occasionally, there are one or two walking vendors, selling some local goods from the countryside, shuttling among the pedestrians.

Perhaps because it is surrounded by the sea, the wind in Yecheng has a salty smell mixed with a hint of fishy smell. Once you get used to it, it is not uncomfortable at all.

After the palace banquet, Li Yuan and his entourage became quite familiar among the major families in Yecheng. Occasionally, official wives would send messages inviting three female family members to the banquet.

Time flies and it soon enters December.

December in Haiguo is as warm as spring. The outskirts of Coconut City are filled with flowers of all colors. The sea breeze blows and the fragrance of the flowers is fragrant.

After walking around in Yecheng, Duanmu Yueming began to lead them outside the city to enjoy the natural scenery of Haiguo.

Li Xiao was actually okay. Although he had never been to Hai Province in his previous life, he had seen the local scenery on TV or the Internet. Hai Province and Hai Province were quite similar.

After leaving the city, in addition to looking at the flowers and plants, Li Xiao and his party also experienced the fun of catching the sea.

The five children naturally let go of their joy. Even Hu Die and Li Xiao seemed to have forgotten that they were mothers and were as happy as children.

Shells, conches, and various kinds of sea fish and shrimps. Everyone is holding a wooden bucket in their hands, and the bucket contains the harvest of everyone.

The climate in Haiguo is as warm as spring, and even the sea water is mild and comfortable, so people don't have to worry about catching cold even if their clothes get wet.

After the trip to the sea, everyone's clothes were more or less wet. In the capital, this would be rude, but in Haicheng, it is a harmless thing.

The group went to the inn on the beach, changed into the dry clothes they had brought, and then returned to the palace with their harvest.

For dinner, they ate what they had gained from today's trip to the sea, plus some Dali dishes that Murong Jing specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare. The family was extremely satisfied.

Being taken everywhere for fun every day, time flies by very quickly.In a blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve.

The New Year's Eve palace banquet in Haiguo consists of lunch and dinner. This is a family banquet for the royal family.

This year's New Year's Eve family dinner should be the happiest Murong Jing has had in these years, because at the banquet, there was her biological sister who had been lost for many years, as well as her younger sisters.

Li Xiao also felt that his uncle was extremely kind to his mother, himself, and several children, even better than the princes and princesses.

Li Xiao could clearly feel that there was more or less a hint of hostility in the eyes of those princesses.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, after their family is out of the first month, it won't be long before they have to go back home.The hostility that fell on her was not painful or itchy, and it was not worth spending too much time on her.

There is no custom of setting off fireworks on New Year's Eve in Haiguo because the strong sea wind makes fireworks too dangerous.

Although there is a lot of rain in Haiguo, it is rare to have sunny days in December and January.

Li Xiao was thinking about his business in Haiguo. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he left the three little ones with his parents and went to the five major cities to inspect stores with Ouyang Yiyun.

Milk tea, fruit drinks and desserts are very popular in Haiguo. Especially after the ice-making problem was solved, the iced milk tea, fruit drinks and various desserts are selling like crazy in Haiguo! (End of chapter)
