Gulliver (now Kozhikode in southern India) is a metropolis of Western sea trade. The place is extremely prosperous and rich in products, rich in hot-selling goods such as pepper, frankincense, pearls, and corals. The geographical location is quite prominent. Sea-going ships from China must pass through this port, and sea-going ships from Southeast Asia to the West will often replenish at this port.

Chen Yu led the Fuxin ship of the Chen family to Guliver, where they bought pepper and frankincense, and stopped there. When the goods were gathered and the monsoon came, they set sail.During the waiting days, Chen Yu will stay in the local library and have a good rest.

The people of Guli Buddha are rich, live and work in peace and contentment, and do not pick up lost things on the road, so it is very suitable for travelers to live in.Every time Chen Yu led the boat out to sea and passed Gulliver, he would stop here for the purpose of purchasing goods, and also for the crew to go ashore for entertainment.

The local halls for entertaining sea merchants are neat and beautiful, and there are clouds of beauties in the halls, delicious wine, delicious food, which makes people happy and forget to return.

The building that Chen Yu lived in was a building dedicated to entertaining Tang people. The locals called Chinese people Tang people and Chinese ships Tang boats. It can be seen that although they are thousands of miles apart, Chinese people have come here for trade since a long time ago.

There is no music, dance, or banquet in Chen Yu's residence. He is also a quiet person. When he is alone, he looks at the account books, flips through idle books, and plays with the strings of the piano. Occasionally, his subordinates will come in and out of his room to report important matters to him

Generally, Chen Yu doesn't need to bother, Pan Gan and Qi Buling handle the ship's affairs.

Chen Yu was generous and benevolent, the crew liked him, Pan Ganban and Qi Buling treated him respectfully, he was affectionately called "Little Boss" by the people on board.

Two years ago, at the age of 19, Chen Yu was 21 years old, and he led a boat out to sea for the first time, and was called a small boss. Now, Chen Yu is [-] years old. He is already a person with rich experience and determination, and he is also the veritable deputy leader on Fuxin Ship—— The head of Zhenggang is Chen Duanli.

Chen Yu's visit to Gulliver this time has already passed the best season for pepper purchases, but it has no effect on him. The goods were ordered last year. The merchants in Gulliver are very trustworthy and will not sell others.

At this time of year, many seagoing ships had left the port, the officialdom was no longer crowded, and there were quite a few vacant rooms in the halls.

Chen Yu came to the building where he used to live and rented a room. The owner of the library recognized Chen Yu and said that Zhao Gangshou had left him a letter.Chen Yu took the letter from the owner of the library, put it into his arms, thanked the owner of the library, asked when the person who wrote the letter would leave, and whether he would wait here for a long time.

The owner said that he stayed here for ten days and left half a month ago.

Chen Yu didn't panic, knowing that Zhao Yousheng must still be on the flight route and hadn't returned home yet.

Back in the room, Chen Yu sat in front of the window, opened the envelope, looked at the familiar handwriting, read the intimate words, he rubbed the letter paper, and the longing in his heart was growing wildly.

In the letter, Zhao Yousheng made an appointment to meet him at the old place, which refers to Chanan Island, which they must pass through on their return voyage.

Chen Yu recalled the last time he met Zhao Yousheng at Quanzhou Port, half a year had passed.Half a year ago, they prayed together at Tongyuan Wang Temple, participated in the wind praying ceremony held by Zhizhou and Zongzheng at Jiuri Mountain, and set off with their respective sea boats together.

The two ships accompanied each other for a certain route, sheltered from the storm together in Qizhou Ocean, and parted ways at Marilu Port.They had originally agreed to meet in Gulliver next spring, but Chen Yu was delayed at the last port due to dysentery among the crew, and Zhao Yousheng was obviously in a hurry because of something else, so he only stayed in Gulliver for a ten-day period.

It depends on the weather and luck while sailing, there will always be unexpected things happen, it is normal to miss the date, Chen Yu is not panic at all, Zhao Yousheng will definitely wait for him on Chanan Island, and the two always live together there for a period of time every year.

After Chen Yu's affairs in Gulifo were completed, he took the sea boat to Chanan Island and left. Pan Ganban and Qi Buling were on board Fuxin, so Chen Yu was very relieved.When the monsoon comes, the Fuxin ship is full of cargo and returns, and the ship will pick up Chen Yu at Chanan.

From a distance, Chanan Island is an inconspicuous island. It is located in the south of Chenla. Ships like to use it as a landmark to enter the waters of Chenla. It is only a local landmark. Compared with the prosperous and lively seaport of Chenla In other words, this desolate island really has no intention of letting people park.

Chen Yu sometimes thought that maybe his father was the first person to discover that Chanan Island was a beautiful island, so he built a wooden house on this island and lived here with his mother.

On summer nights in Chanan Island, sea fireflies often appear on the sea and the beach. It is as beautiful as a fantasy, and it can be called a wonder in the world. In addition, there is another beautiful scenery. When the wind is sunny, the sand on the beach is golden. Quite rare.Chanan Island used to be rich in a kind of golden shell. Under the washing of the waves for thousands of years, the shell turned into sand and gravel, forming a magnificent landscape of blue sea and yellow sand.

The sea boat docked at Chanan Island, and Chen Yu got off the boat alone, standing under the blue sky and white clouds, stepping on the pure golden sand, he raised his hands to shade the sun, looked ahead, saw a tall wooden house, and faintly saw the standing alone.

Chen Yu walked forward slowly, the sea breeze blew his silk summer shirt, and the dark green silk sash around his waist. He was dressed casually and comfortably, completely different from the attire he wore as the head of a sea ship in the port. No, he came to meet his lover.

Gradually, the whole wooden house appeared in front of my eyes, and in front of the wooden house there was a man standing seven feet tall, who was coming towards me. He was in a purple robe and gold belt, restrained and calm, but he did not wear a scarf on his head, and his black hair was tied up. The belt is fluttering, revealing the uninhibited and willful nature of his temperament.

Chen Yu smiled, looked at him obsessively, slowed down his pace, the other party was quite excited, quickened his pace and approached him, and stretched his arms to embrace him.The familiar smell of palace fragrance, the familiar temperature, this is the person he is most familiar with, Chen Yu rubbed hands with him and kissed him.

On a summer night, the worry-free flowers outside the window quietly fell, the sea breeze blew into the room, the white gauze curtain fluttered gently, Chen Yu was sweating profusely, stretched out his arm to push the gauze curtain aside, and let the night wind infiltrate and take him away With the heat on the skin, Chen Yu's fingers scratched the air, and his fingertips slid across the gauze, and his five fingers were tightly clasped by Zhao Yousheng.

In the middle of the night, the gauze curtain was lifted by Zhao Youcheng, and Chen Yu fell asleep beside him tiredly. Zhao Youcheng got out of bed, opened the door and walked outside. He saw bright blue light shining on the sea. It was a billionaire under the night sky. Wan Haiying.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Zhao Yousheng saw the sea like stars and the starry sky shining brightly. This situation made him feel like the universe was in front of him and within reach.On this small island, he seems to have everything, not because he is rich and young, nor because of the beautiful scenery in front of him, but because he owns a person who sleeps in the hut behind him, beside his pillow.

This sense of satisfaction and happiness will accompany Zhao Yousheng for many, many years, until the end of his life.

The summer nights in Chanan Island are not very hot, the sea breeze brings coolness, which makes people feel comfortable, and it will even be cold in the middle of the night.Zhao Yousheng returned to the house, without closing the door, he let the moonlight into the room, so that he could look at the face of the person next to him.

Zhao Yousheng lay down on the quilt, and as soon as he touched the pillow, he felt Chen Yu leaning into his arms. This was a natural act of attachment. Chen Yu didn't even open his eyes, he was fast asleep.Zhao Yousheng gently embraced Chen Yu's back, and fell asleep with his neck.

Every year, they will wait and stay together in this wooden house on Chanan Island. Every year, they can always stay together for a period of time and talk to each other.

Every year, when the rainy season comes and the strong monsoon blows on the sea, Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu will evacuate from this small island, and this is also the time for them to separate.

It was raining outside the window, I don’t know how long it has been raining, the sky is dark, and I don’t know what time it is, Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu got up and got dressed, he dressed Chen Yu, combed his hair, put hairpins, and Chen Yu tied the gold for him Belt, wearing crystal accessories, gangshou sword.

Whether it is Zhao Yousheng's belt, crystal accessories, or Gangshou sword, they are all selected and presented by Chen Yu himself; similarly, Chen Yu's clothes, hairbands, and jade hairpins are also purchased and presented by Zhao Yousheng himself.

Between two people, there is me in you, and you in me.

Zhao Yousheng's big ship docked at Chanan Island, and the crew took shelter from the rain in the boat hall, waiting patiently for their leader.Fei Chunjiang, the ship's officer, saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he ordered two boys to take umbrellas to meet him.

Not long after the two boys returned, behind them were Zhao Youcheng and Chen Yu holding an umbrella. The big oil umbrella was held by Zhao Youcheng, and the umbrella cover was completely tilted towards Chen Yu. Zhao Youcheng was half-drenched in the rain, and Chen Yu had no rain splashed.Just holding an umbrella to keep out the rain, Zhao Yousheng unconsciously showed affection, Fei Chunjiang deeply felt that they were fed enough dog food.

Zhao Yousheng's ships have always been under the "Nanjia" business name. He now owns two large ships. He pilots one himself and gives the other to his servant Zhou Ying.

Two years ago, Zhao Yousheng was destroyed by Zong Zhengsi and his jade book was destroyed, and he was demoted to a commoner. Since then, he has been traveling overseas like a wild horse, and his identity has also changed from the eldest son to the leader of the sea ship, and he has fulfilled his wish.

The world said that he was absurd and unruly, an arrogant weirdo, but his relatives and friends all expressed their understanding.

The Fuxin ship of the Chen family did not arrive at Chanan Island to pick up Chen Yu on the agreed date. Chen Yu guessed that it was delayed on the way, so he left a letter at the Chanan wooden house, and entrusted the servant in charge of the wooden house to deliver a message for him, saying that he He will take Zhao Yousheng's boat back home.

The ship piloted by Zhao Yousheng has a special hull structure, with a spacious and elegant bow room, and a comfortable and bright crew cabin. From the blueprint to the construction of this sea-going ship, Zhao Yousheng personally supervised it, so it is very personal .

The primary purpose of maritime trade is to make money, so sea ships try their best to reduce the living area of ​​the crew on board and build as many warehouses as possible. Zhao Yousheng does not do this. He knows that the harsh and crowded environment is easy for the crew to get sick.

The crew has a good living environment, which is also conducive to recruiting nautical talents. Even Fei Chunjiang, who doesn't like to go on board, has become the ship's officer on Zhao Yousheng's ship. It is performed by capable people.

Although Zhao Yousheng only had two ships, which were far inferior to other well-known big merchants, the seafaring talents he recruited were all top-to-bottom.

The "Nanjia" ship left Chanan Island and berthed at Chenla Dagang. Some of the goods on board from Western traders will be sold in Chenla officialdom.After the goods were sold, some of the cabins were vacated, and the goods were bought in Chenla and shipped to China for sale, killing two birds with one stone.

To sell goods in the officialdom, Zhao Yousheng entrusted Fei Tongshi and Jiang accountant to do it. He took Chen Yu and two young men along the river to the capital of Chenla in a small boat to pick it up. The name of Tazhou.

There are many Chinese maritime merchants who come to Chenla for trade, Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu have not attracted attention all the way, and because they follow the Romans in the countryside, Chen Yu is familiar with the language, and the two are treated politely all the way.

They are all open-minded people who are very interested in overseas customs and customs. They used to only stop at the port when they came to Chenla. This time, taking advantage of the abundant time, the two planned to visit the rumored prosperous and magnificent capital city of Chenla.

The boat moved slowly, passed the ancient vines and white reed beaches, and drilled into the depths of the rainforest. There are grass-roof houses on the banks, and sometimes a Buddhist temple mottled by wind and rain. The prosperity of the port is no longer. a piece of Miyagi.

The local boatman moored the boat in a sugar palm forest and said that he had arrived. The rain was falling and the fog was shrouded, and the distant scenery could not be seen.Zhao Yousheng asked the boatman to lead the way and braved the rain. He was familiar with the local climate. During the rainy season, the rain could fall from morning to night without stopping.

The rain was not heavy, and the drops fell on his face, bringing a cold feeling. Chen Yu had a feeling along the way that Ah Left seemed to have been here. Sometimes, before the boatman pointed out the way, Ah Left would take him forward and ask him to pay attention. To the north, it is said that if you see a towering copper tower, the capital is not far away.

The boatman took them around the forest, walking on a small path, and after a while, a winding road stretched out before him. Chen Yu raised his head and saw a towering copper tower in the forest. He pointed forward and said happily: " Ah Left, the tower is over there."

Zhao Yousheng held Chen Yu's hand and said with a smile: "I can see several towers of Sangxiang Buddha Hall (Angkor Wat) later, which are quite spectacular."

The woods in front of me are gradually thinning out, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road. The capital city is half hidden in the rain and mist, and more than [-] magnificent towers come into view. The golden bridge connects the city gate, looking up at the gilded Buddha head on the city gate and the golden lion guarding the bridge, you can know why Chenla is called by the sea merchants: rich and noble Chenla.

"Ah Leftover, you have been here before." Chen Yu was sure, he observed him deeply and understood him deeply.

Zhao Yousheng said with a smile: "I have been here, but not in this life."

Arriving in the capital, Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu rented a residence and lived in the city for one night. In the early morning of the second day, the rain stopped and a rainbow appeared in the sky.Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu traveled hand in hand. They hired elephant slaves from the local rich man's house, and ordered the servants to bring knives and axes to open up forest roads. They left the capital on elephants and headed for the dense forest in the east.

Walking from morning to evening, all you can see are forests, until an ancient temple appears in front of you.

The temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are two or three monks living there. There is a pool in front of the temple, which is as clear as a mirror. This is the Yansilu Pool, which is also the legendary Yansilu Mirror.

It looks very ordinary, just an ordinary pool.

The temple was silent, only the sound of birds and beasts could be heard around, and the figures of Chen Yu and Zhao Yousheng were reflected in the pool, they leaned together and clasped their hands.In this life, they don't need Hai Yu Soul, nor Yan Si Lu Jing, they will always be together and grow old together.

The ship left Chenla Port and sailed to Qizhou Ocean. It was a night full of stars, and Chen Yu slept in Zhao Yousheng's Gangshou room, on a comfortable and large nanmu bed.Through Zhao Yousheng's shoulder, Chen Yu saw the stars and a lush island outside the window. He had no time to think about whether it was Yingnan Island. The hull of the ship swayed with the waves, the mast creaked, and the sound of sails beating. Mixing, masking the rest of the suppressed sound.

Chen Yu fell asleep tired, his hair was disheveled, and the corners of his eyes were reddish. Zhao Yousheng got out of bed with his clothes on, and went to the desk to deal with affairs. As the leader of a ship, he managed many things.

The candlelight on the case illuminated his half body. Under the light and shadow, his brows looked deep and his expression was serious. He focused on looking at the accounts in his hand, and occasionally took notes.Half an hour later, Zhao Yousheng's posture had not changed, and he was still concentrating on doing things without feeling bored or tired.

Chen Yu woke up from his sleep and felt that there was no one around him. He opened his eyes and saw Zhao Yousheng who was busy in front of the desk.

Zhao Yousheng's Gangshou Room is the most unique Gangshou Room Chen Yu has ever seen. It is well-furnished, organized, and full of life. For Zhao Yousheng, who often goes to sea, this is his second home.

Chen Yu quietly got out of bed, walked to Zhao Youcheng, hugged him from behind, and whispered in his ear, Zhao Youcheng immediately put down what he was doing, and took Chen Yu's hand back to the bed.In fact, Chen Yu didn't say anything, he just wanted him to accompany him, so that he could have a good rest and not get tired.

Under the light of the bright moon, the ship safely passed through the Qizhou Ocean, which is full of islands. There was no typhoon or rainstorm that night, and the wind was smooth.Chen Yu and Zhao Yousheng hugged each other and fell asleep. In An Mi's sleep, the sea boat carried them on the journey back to their home country.

Many years later, Chen Yu left the Chen family's fleet to his elder brother, and he and Zhao Yousheng jointly led a large sea-going ship. There is no distinction between the principal and the deputy. If the crew has anything to do, just report it to one of them.

There are two heads on board, but only one head room. It is not a secret that they share the same bed on board, and the crew will not discuss it.The crew are generally afraid of Zhao Gangshou, he is skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship, he beats up pirates like grandchildren, and the pirates run away from their ships when they encounter them; the crew are generally grateful to Chen Gangshou, he is gentle and tolerant, Treat people with kindness, and can "surrender" the vicious Zhao Gangshou.

In front of Chen Gangshou, Zhao Gangshou even spoke in a gentle tone, like a spring breeze.

In Chen Yu's eyes, Zhao Yousheng has never changed, he has always been very gentle and affectionate, they have been in love with each other, through wind and rain, no power can separate them.

When Zhao Yousheng was 27 years old and Chen Yu was 25 years old, they took out the money from a joint ship merchant to set up a family business on Yingnan Island and settled their home on Yingnan Island.

They bought the peach blossom land on Yingnan Island and built their own house, which is still called: Peach Blossom House.

Two years later, the house was built, and Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu moved in to live there. They started to manage Yingnan Island and opened up a seaport for berthing ships.

After many years, the dynasties changed, and the emperor in the capital changed his surname. Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu no longer went to sea for many years, but handed over the ship merchants to their servants. They lived a secluded life on the island.

There are very few residents on Yingnan Island, only a few fishermen's families. After Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu settled on the island, the island gradually prospered. Sea ships also came to call at the port, and travelers came to rest their feet.

Every spring, several passenger ships will appear on Yingnan Island, and the passengers on board will bring their families to enjoy the peach blossoms on the island.These passengers are none other than Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu's relatives and friends.

Zhao Zhuangdie was always the first to come. He would take his wife, daughter, and Zhao Duanhe's son to eat and drink at old friends' homes for several days.Enjoying flowers, fishing, hunting, and flying kites, he never missed anything, playing like a child.

Zhao Zhuangdie's life is good. During the war, his home was looted, and the camel was bigger than the horse. He opened a teahouse in Qiongzhou, bought a farm, and had no worries about food and clothing.

Qiongzhou is very close to Yingnan Island, sometimes Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu would go to his teahouse to drink tea and listen to books, and visit his home as guests.

Usually, Zhao Zhuangdie spent a few days on the island before Chen Fan would come. When he came, the peach blossoms were in full bloom. He and Han Shiniang would bring a pair of children, and sometimes Han Jiulang's family would come with the boat.

By the way, there is also Brother Yu, Brother Yu is very keen to bring his family to visit Yingnan Island, even two or three times a year.

Brother Yu got married with one wife and two concubines, and had a litter of children. Zhao Yousheng took care of his dragon kiln business for many years and made a lot of money. He is like the richest man in Ning County and a local rich man.

Fortunately, the house jointly built by Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu is very large, with more than 30 rooms, which is enough for them to live in.

Zheng Yuanya doesn't like to enjoy flowers, he rarely goes to the island in early spring, he is elusive, sometimes in summer, sometimes in cold winter.The Zheng family's sea boat is always a medium-sized sea boat, and Zheng Yuanya has always been acting like a fool, and he is still alone.

Last winter, when Zheng Yuanya visited, Chen Yu was surprised to find that he was still wearing the fragrant cakes made by Zeng Yuanrong.Chen Yu and Zeng Yuanrong have been exchanging letters, but Yuan Rong never mentioned Yuan Ya, not to mention that Yuan Rong is secretive, and Yuan Ya never mentions Yuan Rong in front of Chen Yu, being mysterious.

I always feel that there is an ulterior secret between them, but there is no evidence.

The peach blossoms on Yingnan Island bloomed and thanked, and bloomed again after thanking. On Yingnan Island, there were buildings, restaurants, and teahouses. The owners of these shops were also the owners of the Peach Blossom Pavilion.

With the profits of ship merchants for many years, plus the income of shops on the island, Chen Yu and Zhao Yousheng can be called wealthy. The strange thing is that their houses are elegant, and they don't have very luxurious items. They don't know where the wealth is hidden.

The fishermen on the island heard that the two island owners had contacts with the sharks, and that Yingnan Island had been frequented by the sharks in the past.However, people in the world don't believe in the legend of the sharks anymore, thinking that they don't exist, and no one believes the fishermen's words.

Every three to five years, Mu Yuanyi would take the "Nanjia" ship to Yingnan Island and visit the Peach Blossom House.He wears human clothes, speaks human language, speaks and behaves gracefully, and has an elegant demeanor. The islanders don't notice his difference. Only the old servant in Taohuaguan knows that he has never aged and will always look like a teenager.

As the old servants of the Peach Blossom House, Dong Wan and Wu Chu will not tell the secrets of the house to the outside world.

One year, Mu Yuanyi visited Yingnan Island in spring and met Chen Fan. Chen Fan had gray hair on his temples and looked more and more like the late Chen Duanli, holding his eldest grandson Chen Jingsheng in his arms.

Mu Yuanyi teased the child and patted his hands lightly twice, while Chen Jingsheng clapped his hands happily and rushed towards him.Mu Yuanyi hugged the chubby Chen Jingsheng, and said with a smile, "It's so strange, this kid kissed me."

As a merman, being scratched by cats and barked by dogs is common, and babies seem to have a particularly keen sense of smell, so they generally don't get close to him.

Chen Yu turned back and smiled at Zhao Yousheng, Zhao Yousheng held his hand and said softly, "Go for a walk in the woods?"

"Ah."

The two clasped their hands and walked slowly along the forest road. The years had left marks on their faces, but they were always in good spirits and healthy.

The peach blossoms beside them are in full bloom, and the petals are dancing in the wind. The laughter of relatives and friends can be heard in the distance.

The author has something to say: Director: Thank you for your company for a long time, I love you all.

There is also a second episode, which will be posted tonight, but there are only two extra episodes.

From then on, the prince and the prince lived a happy life.
