The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Lin Yuge's eyes lit up.

I never expected that my older brother's "human radar" could actually avoid risks.

"Big brother, you're amazing!"

Lin Qingzhou scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Little sister, I just stumbled upon this by accident."

"The storm came so suddenly. I just thought there might be a place to take shelter in that direction. Who knew we would actually find that small island?"

Lin Yuge laughed and said, "Brother, this isn't just luck, it's your skill. If it were someone else, they might have been trapped by the storm."

Lin Fanghai nodded and said, "Qingzhou, this skill of yours is an important ability for survival at sea."

"If our family continues to make a living by the sea, having more skills like this will provide us with more security."

Lin Qingzhou felt embarrassed by what was said and quickly changed the subject.

"Father, little sister, you flatter me. By the way, Father, can Prince Yun really help you get to the army camp smoothly?"

"Given our family's current situation, this matter is not so simple."

Lin Fanghai pondered for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be any problem. After all, Prince Yun's status is special, and His Majesty should be able to accommodate his request."

Hearing this, Lin Yuge finally couldn't help but ask her question.

"Father, what is the true identity of Prince Yun? Why do you seem to trust him so much?"

Lin Fanghai glanced at his children and sat down.

He slowly began to speak: "The Prince of Zhenbei, Xiao Yuan, is the current emperor's younger brother. He has guarded the northern lands for decades. He has made outstanding military achievements and is deeply trusted by His Majesty."

"Xiao Yunqing is the only son of the Prince of Zhenbei. He has been training in the army with the Prince of Zhenbei since childhood and is proficient in military strategy."

"The Lingnan region has always been turbulent, with frequent banditry and pirate raids. The fact that the Emperor entrusted such an important place to him demonstrates his trust and high regard for him."

Lin Yuge suddenly realized what was going on and gained more confidence in the matter.

Afterwards, she looked at her thatched hut, which was now only half intact.

She asked, "Mother, the house is in such a state, where have you been staying these past few days?"

Xie Jingwan sighed softly, "Your father and your eldest brother built a simple partition in the half of the house that hadn't collapsed, barely making room for a place to live."

"Although the place is small and uncomfortable, at least it provides shelter from the wind and rain."

"Where is Grandpa Wen? I didn't see him when I came back."

"During this period, the medicine made by the old man has helped many people."

“A few days ago, after the house collapsed, Uncle Zhang from the village insisted on taking him to live at his house. He was also all alone, so the two of them could keep each other company.”

Xie Jingwan's expression turned strange as she spoke.

"It's just that the old man is a bit obsessed with medicine, and he often locks himself in the room for days without going out."

"Uncle Zhang said that sometimes he could smell the fragrance of medicine coming from the old man's room in the middle of the night. He wondered what new medicine the old man was working on."

Lin Yuge couldn't help but laugh.

"That's just how Grandpa Wen is. His love for medicine is like my dad's love for medical equipment."

"However, his medicine is indeed very effective. Before, at sea, Prince Yun's injury was thanks to his medicine."

Lin Qingzhou nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Grandpa Wen's medicine has saved many lives in the village."

"But his body might not be able to handle researching drugs day and night like this."

Xie Jingwan sighed, "Who can argue with that? Your Uncle Zhang tried to persuade him, but he just wouldn't listen."

Lin Yuge nodded knowingly; it's a common problem for researchers, and it's the same in any era.

"We can only visit him more often and bring him meals."

"Sigh, that's all we can do!" Xie Jingwan sighed.

The next morning, the family arrived at the hillside land that Xie Jingwan had bought to build a house on.

Lin Yuge wandered around, her mind constantly planning her dream seaside room.

Lin Qingzhou walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Little sister, you seem to be thinking so intently, have you already come up with a good idea?"

Lin Yuge snapped out of her daze and said excitedly, "Father, Mother, Big Brother, I'm thinking our house can be built as a two-story building."

"The ground floor will be used as a living room and kitchen. The living room should be spacious and bright, and the kitchen should have a large stove so that it won't feel cramped when cooking."

Lin Qingzhou nodded. "Little sister, that's a good idea. What about the second floor?"

"We need to partition off a few rooms on the second floor. Our family will live there, and we'll also need a guest room, in case we have guests coming in the future."

Lin Yuge gestured as she spoke, "In the middle of the second floor, we can build a terrace and put tables and chairs there."

"You can see the sunrise and sunset over the sea every day, and the ebb and flow of the tide."

"And every room should have a window facing the sea, so you can see the sea while lying in bed."

Lin Fanghai listened to his daughter's thoughts with a smile, "Yuge, you've thought of everything very thoroughly."

"However, this house needs to be built sturdily, because the sea breeze by the sea is quite strong, and there are often storms."

Lin Yuge replied confidently, "Father, I've thought about that too."

“We can make the foundation of the house deeper and wider, and use large stones to build the foundation, so that it will be more stable.”

"The outer walls were also built with thick stones, and the gaps in the middle were filled with small stones and clay, so that they were both sturdy and windproof."

With that, she turned and ran home.

He shouted, "Wait here, I'll go back and draw a diagram right away."

Xie Jingwan watched Lin Yuge's departing figure, then smiled and shook her head.

"This girl is always so impetuous."

Lin Fanghai also laughed, "But Yuge's idea is very thoughtful. If our family could build a house like that, that would be really great."

"But this means that the amount of stone and wood needed is not small."

Lin Qingzhou immediately replied, "Dad, don't worry about that. There are plenty of stones on the rocky beach. We can ask the villagers to help us move them over."

"And timber. The trees on this mountain are so dense. We can cut down a few trees without any problem."

Lin Fanghai nodded upon hearing this.

The three of them cleared away the weeds and pebbles on the ground.

A short while later, Lin Yuge ran back with a piece of paper in his hand.

Several villagers followed behind him, including the village chief.

Upon meeting, Qiu Ming complained, "Brother Lin, you're about to start construction, why didn't you say anything?"

“Building a house in our village is a big deal, and everyone should help each other out.”

Zhang Meng and Li Er, who had been cutting down trees last time, also came along. The two of them smiled and looked at Lin Fanghai.

Zhang Meng scratched his head and said, "Uncle Lin, we heard from Yuge Girl that she's going to build some kind of sea-view house."

"This is something new, so I thought I'd come and join in the fun and do my part."

Lin Fanghai quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much everyone. I was worried that we wouldn't have enough manpower to build this house."

Lin Yuge stepped forward and handed the paper in her hand to Qiu Ming.

"Village chief, this is a rough sketch of what the house will look like. Could you take a look?"

Qiu Ming took the blueprint and examined it carefully. He saw that it depicted a two-story house with a clear layout.

"Yuge is such a clever and skillful girl, this drawing is very detailed."

Li Er also came over to take a look and said, "Sister Yuge, the windows on the second floor are really big. You must be able to see a beautiful sea view."

Lin Yuge nodded with a smile: "Yes, Brother Li. I just wanted to be able to see the sea as soon as I opened my eyes, so I drew such a big window."
