Shortly after mid-afternoon, the fleet set sail again, and with the reefs extremely numerous along this part of the coast, the fleet raked a bend towards the depths of the sea, skirting the reefs in this area.
Our journey is a starry sea ……
Watching the sea ships ride the wind and waves into the deep blue sea, Zhu Pingan flashed this line in his mind for some reason.
During the day, he lectured about The Immortal Exorcist, savoured the various cuisines that the Li family’s chefs changed and cooked with great care, and occasionally fought with the black-hearted Li Shu, and the leisurely days passed by so slowly and easily.
This day in the afternoon, the pattern of blue sky and blue sea was finally broken, the dome of the sky drifted a few dark clouds, slowly covered the sun, less Secretary clouds drifted past and revealed the sun, the dark clouds seem to be playing a game of hide-and-seek with the sun, gradually also addicted.
The colour of the sky, gradually by the deep blue into a light grey, the sun is getting dim.
The wind also gradually rose ……
Zhu Pingan lying on the bow of the boat with a plate, eating fried squid snacks made by the chef of the Li family, blowing slowly up the sea breeze, his eyes on the place where the sea and sky meet, his thoughts gradually drifted to the lower river village.
Wooden and generous father, spicy and careful mother, and big brother
Homesick ……
Li Shu was dressing up the luxurious cabin boudoir awkwardly embroidering a mandarin duck pillowcase while Zhu Pingan was blowing the sea breeze at the bow of the boat, her slender hands pinching the embroidery needle, very seriously embroidering, and then not every effort has an equal reward.
Li Shu placed a pair of lovely mandarin ducks pattern in front of her, then under her hands on the pillowcase but still appeared two fat ducks ……
“Miss, it’s getting dark yet, quickly take a rest.”Baozi little maid watched her own young lady embroidering in the slightly dark cabin, heartbroken.
“The sky is dark ah, I said why can’t I see it.”
Hearing the bun little maid’s words, Li Shu stops the formation in her hands and looks out of the window with a sudden realisation pouting her little mouth.
“Yes miss.”The bun little maid nodded vigorously.
“Then go and palm the lamp and paint, hurry up.”Li Shu urged.
“But miss, take a break, you haven’t rested properly for days.”The bun little maid’s eyes were red. “Getting up so early in the morning to go to the kitchen, and embroidering during the lunch break, we’re just like iron that can’t stand it ah miss.”
“So much nonsense, why don’t you go palm the lamp.”Li Shu pouted. Raising the embroidery needle in her hand, “Any more nagging and I’ll embroider a little wangbang on your face.”
“Miss ~~” the bun little maid covered her little face and looked at Li Shu aggrievedly, remembering the years of being drawn on her face by Miss, then after being glared at by Li Shu, she dawdled and went to palm the lamp.
The little bun maid fetched a wooden jade encrusted octagonal palace lamp. Opened the lampshade, blew the flame to ignite the wick, and then put the lampshade cover on the table in front of Li Shu, the room instantly brightened a few points, Li Shu nodded with satisfaction, and then began to embroider again.
“Miss, our mansion has raised so many embroiderers, how good to leave it to them to embroider ah miss, otherwise it’s a waste to raise them.”The bun little maid pouted.
“What do you know, this is a pillowcase for the wedding ceremony. Of course it’s better to embroider it yourself.”Li Shu rolled her eyes and then proceeded to embroider her own mandarin ducks (fat ducks), this embroidery is all done stitch by stitch, I don’t want the stinky toad to smell the smell left behind by other women while sleeping, neither does the embroiderer’s!
“Let’s rest for a while miss, you haven’t rested for a long time.”The bun little maid had been trying to let Li Shu rest for a while, her own young lady hadn’t rested since she got up early in the morning today, and it hurt to see it in her eyes and in her heart.
“Father and Zhu Pingan’s family have set a date, it’s not like you don’t know how tight time is. Zhu Pingan’s family is pressing hard, this time to go back is to catch up with the date.”When she said this, Li Shu’s pretty face was flushed and her voice carried a complaint. However, her dark ink-like eyes were bright with the longing of a young girl.
“Yes oh, the master has sent a letter.”Baozi little maid also reddened, miss only arranged for her to be a companion maid as a common room.
“Miss, the letter that auntie’s family entrusted our house to send hasn’t been shown to auntie yet.”The bun little maid reminded.
“Oh, that letter I casually put somewhere, and I didn’t find it when I came. Anyway, he’ll know by the time we get home. There’s no need to give him a word.”Li Shu was immersed in the sea of embroidery, shaking her head slightly, the needle in her hand guiding the colourful threads through the pillowcase, the fat ducks on it were getting more and more vibrant.
Mmmmm, the little bun maid nodded, holding her fragrant cheeks as she watched her own young lady embroider.
When the master sent the letter, at that time the auntie was not yet on holiday, the auntie’s family’s letter to the auntie was also entrusted to the people in the house to send it together. The letter was about the marriage of the young lady and the young master, and it seemed that Mrs. Chen had found some fortune-tellers at home who said that the young master and the young lady were a match made in heaven, that the young lady was a prosperous husband, and that the young master would be promoted to an official position and become rich and famous, and that the sooner the marriage was concluded, the better for the young master.
One of the famous Taoist priests looked at the Miss and Master’s birthdate and said that Miss is the phoenix of the phase, and also said that the Master is the carp of the phase, but met the Miss is the phase of the dragon, the carp jumped over the dragon gate will become a dragon, said that is the eight worlds of the good marriage it. This Taoist priest is the most famous Taoist priest in the whole Anqing province, only one divination a month, if it is not coincidentally passing through the village of the lower river in Zhu Pingan borrowed a drink of water, Zhu Mrs. Chen did not have the opportunity to ask people to divination it.
It is the Taoist priest said to rush to get married in May, said the weather in April, the river fish against the current, it is the carp leap Dragon Gate day. He also said that May is a bad month, May snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos, toads, these five kinds of poisonous insects are beginning to be active, demons and monsters, these little ghosts are also very rampant, the spread of disease, poisonous gas in all directions, the whole environment is not conducive to the carps leap Dragon Gate.
Also said that May is the “Fetus God” patrol days on earth, the Fetus God in charge of nurturing babies until the birth of the safe Fetus God, May Fetus God will stay in the bed of each family, if you get married in May will hit the Fetus God, the Fetus God will not be given to the health of a smart little baby.
This Taoist priest calculated an auspicious day is 28th April, avoiding the Miss and the aunt’s birth characters of the collision day, pinpointing the most suitable day of the year.
Other fortune tellers also said that May is a bad month, not suitable for marriage.
Anyway, Mrs Zhu Chen’s find the diviner ah to go to the temple ah Taoist temple ah, to show people the eight characters of the birthdate, said to rush to get married in May before it.
Therefore, Mrs Zhu Chen urged to go back to the marriage, the day was set on the 28th of April. I heard that the aunt’s family is ready, the new house is also packed, things are ready, even relatives have notified it.
The old man arranged for the boat to go back just in time, back home can have a few days of grace it.
