Chapter 714: Chapter 487: Let’s Go to the Seaside Together

Regarding everyone’s memories of milk powder, Xiaomi neither confirmed nor denied, just smiled and changed the topic, introducing the space.

She had previously instructed Ling’er that the space could be explained but without too much detail, and the items within were simply from the past.

Regarding her rebirth, she didn’t want to tell her family, fearing it might cause a rift in their hearts.

Fortunately, everyone tacitly avoided asking.

After eating, everyone had rested enough, at least the dizziness was gone.

Jiang Yu, Liu Ze, and Jiang Wei, the three brothers, knew Xiaomi had many books about other worlds, and they instantly became interested, suggesting that Xiaomi could take the others to play while they read.

Xiaomi didn’t mind them, let Ling’er watch over them, and took the others out to play.

Jiang Hu carried Little Bun walking in front; Little Bun had once been a frequent visitor to this space, and upon returning, quickly found the old familiarity, running wildly with grandpa through the mountains.

Such happiness.

The other mother and sons walked slowly behind, looking at the space filled with herds of cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks, along with abundant fish, shrimp, eels, and even large patches of turtles sunbathing.

Little Xue took a deep breath: "Indeed, the feeling of being down to earth is much better; it was really uncomfortable on the ship before."

"Second sister, it’s not your fault. These years, everyone’s bodies have been improved by the Spiritual Spring water, making their senses more acute than ordinary people; naturally, the seasickness reaction is stronger."

And the space is filled with Spiritual Energy, allowing everyone to recover quickly.

"This space is truly amazing." Little Xue praised sincerely.

Looking over, the farmland is even more than the entire Anning Village, probably several hundred acres, and Ling’er alone can manage it well.

The crops grown and poultry raised in the space are all tastier than those outside.

Xiaomi nodded inwardly, indeed quite impressive.

"But second sister, mother, I just discussed with little brother this morning that we might not be able to stay long in the Capital City."

Then, she explained about the Spiritual Spring water nourishing the body and prolonging life.

Especially since the family still has Little Black, Little White, and Little Mi as examples; even ordinary people understand what outcome awaits if someone with intentions discovers this matter.

The second mother nodded: "We know, this trip to the Capital is mainly to go with your eldest brother, and besides, your Uncle Liu said after so many years, we should also take a trip to the Capital City."

"I also discussed with your father that after your elder brother’s matters settle, we’ll find a reason to return to Xiangmu Village or Anning Village."

Previously, it was always thought that the title was merely a decoration for glory and didn’t intend to do anything with it.

Of course, as native common people, it’s not easy to accomplish something.

This time deciding to go to the Capital, the court also dispatched many people, although the rules aren’t too cumbersome, they even told them that with the Lord’s title, upon meeting the emperor and empress, there’s no need to kneel.

Yet for them, it’s a bit excessive, even a bit nerve-wracking during the learning.

The couple decided together that when the time comes, they can let the eldest and youngest stay in the Capital, while they return to their hometown for comfort.

As for Xiaomi and Little Xue, it depends on them.

Xiaomi pondered for a moment: "Mother, little brother and I plan to go to the seaside later; why don’t we all go together? We’ve been in the village for so many years, now that we’re young, we can go out and see the world."

Originally, she planned to tell her parents when preparing for the seaside trip, but now that her mother mentioned it first, she just went along with it.

"The seaside? Why think of going to the seaside?"

Born and raised near the mountains, the farthest they’ve been is Nanyang Prefecture, with no concept of the sea.

Now hearing Xiaomi mention it, they’re quite intrigued.

No idea what the sea would look like.

Little Xue remembered: "Xiaomi, you’ve taken interest in ships these years; could it be you’ve long planned on going to the sea?"

Xiaomi nodded openly: "Yes, little brother has been busy in the military lately, actually for this reason, there will be more convenient weapons available for use if we encounter danger at sea."

But for the matter of the fire guns, details can’t be disclosed, besides fire guns, there are cannons that can be installed on large ships.

These are not achievable quickly.

Just like little brother said, going to sea isn’t easy, it may take several years or even over ten years.

She’s saying it now just to give everyone another place to go after leaving the Capital.

The second mother was indifferent, while Little Xue seemed quite tempted.

"Mother, why don’t we just go with Xiaomi? She’s right, the world is vast, no need to just focus on the present."

For the Jiang children, there’s no strong nostalgia for their homeland.

From the start, Jiang Yu and Little Xue’s most vivid memories were fleeing, any earlier ones are forgotten.

They’ve lived in Fu’an Village for several years, moved to Xiangmu Village, then to Anning Village for years, and now they have to reside in the Capital for some time.

Does this homeland even exist?

The place with parents is home, this is the common understanding among the siblings.

And for Jiang Hu and the second mother, after being abandoned early on the road by their parents during the escape, the former hometown seemed unimportant.

So when the second mother heard Xiaomi and Little Xue’s suggestion, she was immediately moved.

"In the past, your Aunt Qian sent plenty of dried seafood every year; in recent years, the Capital always sends all sorts of odd things, living on the sea surface, can we eat them fresh?"

Due to the long journey, seafood sent their way was almost dried, after eating for years, they’re curious about fresh seafood.

Xiaomi nodded without hesitation: "Of course we can! Seafood is best eaten fresh near the sea. Mother, let’s decide, after elder brother’s exam ends, we’ll set off for the seaside!"

Find a suitable seaside city to settle down, or a village close to the county seat is also fine.

After this trip to the Capital, she’ll discuss with Aunt Qian, move those shipbuilders she found then.

Surely, no shipwright could refuse the temptation to build larger vessels, right?

Besides, she’s nearly finished drafting the designs, just need the shipbuilders and location.

Everyone stayed in the space for nearly an hour, until Xiaomi heard Zhou Ying muttering, guessing it was lunchtime, she let the others rest a bit longer and went out.

Indeed, once out of the space, she saw Zhou Ying yawning and getting up, while outside Wei Ziang was calling them for lunch.
