Chapter 465 Jun Wen’s wedding is due
Shortly in the afternoon, the fleet set sail again. There were many reefs along the coast. The fleet made a bend toward the depths of the sea and bypassed the reefs in this area.
Our journey is to the stars and the sea...
Watching the ship riding the wind and waves into the deep blue sea, this line flashed through Zhu Pingan's mind for some reason.
In the daytime, I talked about "Zhu Xian", tasted various delicacies carefully cooked by the chefs of the Li family, and occasionally bickered with the sinister Li Shu. The leisurely days passed so slowly.
On this afternoon, the pattern of blue sky and blue sea was finally broken. A few dark clouds floated in the sky, slowly covering the sun. Shaoqing's clouds drifted past and revealed the sun. The dark clouds seemed to be playing a hide-and-seek game with the sun. Gradually, Still addicted.
The color of the sky gradually changed from dark blue to light gray, and the sun became darker and darker.
The wind gradually picked up
Zhu Pingan was lying on the bow of the boat holding a plate, eating fried squid snacks made by the Li family chef, blowing the slow sea breeze, his eyes Placed where the sea and the sky meet, my thoughts gradually drifted to Xiahe Village.
My dull and generous father, my pungent and attentive mother, and my eldest brother
I feel homesick.
While Zhu Pingan was blowing the sea breeze on the bow of the ship, Li Shu was clumsily embroidering mandarin duck pillowcases in the luxurious cabin boudoir. She held an embroidery needle in her delicate hands and was embroidering very seriously. But not every effort has the same reward.
Li Shu placed a pair of cute mandarin ducks in front of her, and then two fat ducks appeared on the pillowcase under her hand
“Miss, it’s getting dark, please take a rest. "Baozi's little maid looked at her young lady embroidering in the dim cabin, feeling extremely distressed.
“It’s dark, I wonder why I can’t see clearly.”
After listening to the words of Baozi's little maid, Li Shu stopped what she was doing, looked out the window and pouted her little mouth in sudden realization.
"Yes, Miss." The little maid Baozi nodded vigorously.
"Then you go hold the lantern and paint, hurry up." Li Shu urged.
"But miss, please have a rest, you haven't had a good rest for several days." The little maid Baozi's eyes were red, "I got up so early in the morning to go to the kitchen, and we have to embroider during lunch break, we just Even those who are beaten with iron will suffer No, miss."
"There's so much nonsense, why don't you go and hold the lamp?" Li Shu sneered and raised the embroidery needle in her hand, "I'll embroider a little bastard on your face if you continue to be verbose. ”
"Miss~~" Baozi's little maid covered her face and looked at Li Shu aggrievedly, remembering the years when the lady drew bastard pictures on her face, and then she was glared at by Li Shu before she went to hold the lamp.
Baozi’s little maid took a wooden octagonal palace lantern inlaid with jade, opened the lampshade, blew out the fire stick to ignite the wick, then covered the lampshade and placed it on the table in front of Li Shu. The inside instantly lit up a bit, Li Shu nodded with satisfaction, and then started embroidering again.
"Miss, we have so many embroiderers in our house, how wonderful it would be if we left them to embroider, otherwise we would have raised them in vain." The little maid Baozi pouted.
"What do you know? This is the pillowcase used when getting married. Of course you have to embroider it yourself." Li Shu rolled her eyes, and then continued to embroider her own mandarin duck (fat duck). This embroidery is all It's embroidered stitch by stitch. I don't want a smelly toad to smell the scent left by other women while sleeping, not even the embroiderer's!
"Let's take a rest, Miss, you haven't rested for a long time." The little maid Baozi always wanted Li Shu to take a rest. My lady got up early in the morning and hasn't had a rest yet. Look. It hurts in my eyes and in my heart.
"Dad and Zhu Ping'an's family have already arranged a date. You don't know how tight the time is. Zhu Ping'an's family is pressing hard. This time we go back to meet the deadline." When she said this, Li Shu's pretty face turned red. , there was complaint in the voice, but the eyes as dark as ink were shining with the longing for the little daughter's family.
"Yes, the master has sent a letter." The little maid Baozi also blushed. The young lady only arranged for her to have a dowry girl as a bride.
"Miss, I haven't shown the letter my uncle's family sent to us yet." Baozi's little maid reminded her.
"Oh, I just threw that letter away and didn't know where it was. I didn't find it when I came here. Anyway, he will know it when I get home, so there is no need to tell him." Li Shu was immersed in In the sea of embroidery, I shook my head slightly. The needle in my hand led to colorful threads interspersed on the pillowcase. The fat duck on it became more and more colorful.
Hmm, the little maid Baozi nodded, cupping her cheeks and looking at her lady's embroidery.
When the master sent the letter, my uncle was not on vacation at that time. The letter from my uncle's family to my uncle was also sent by someone from the family. The letter was talking about the marriage between the young lady and her uncle. It seems that Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhu, found several fortune tellers at home. They all said that her uncle and her uncle were a match made in heaven. They said that the young lady was a prosperous husband and that her uncle would be promoted and make a fortune in the future. Gui, they all say that the sooner they get married, the better it will be for my uncle.
One of the well-known Taoist priests read the birth dates of the young lady and the uncle, and said that the young lady had the appearance of a flying phoenix, and that the uncle originally had the appearance of a koi carp, but when he met the young lady, he transformed into a dragon. , the carp jumped over the dragon gate and turned into a dragon, which is said to be a good marriage cultivated in eight lifetimes. This Taoist priest is the most famous Taoist priest in the whole Anqing Prefecture. He only makes one divination a month. If he hadn't happened to pass by Xiahe Village and borrowed water from Zhu Ping'an's house, Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Chen, would not have had the opportunity to ask someone to make a divination.
This is the Taoist priest who said that he wanted to get married before May. He said that in April, when the weather gets warmer and the river fish reverse the current, it is the day when the carp jumps over the dragon gate. It is also said that May is an evil month. In May, five kinds of poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos, and toads become rampant. Demons and monsters are also very active, releasing poisonous gas and spreading plague. The entire environment is not conducive to carps jumping over the dragon gate.
It is also said that May is the day when the "Fetus God" visits the human world. The Fetus God is responsible for nurturing babies until they are safely born. The Fetus God will stay on every bed in May. If you get married in May, you will It will conflict with the fetal god, and the fetal god will not give him a healthy and smart baby.
The Taoist priest calculated that the auspicious day was April 28th, avoiding the opposition of the young lady and uncle's birthdays, and calculated the most suitable day this year.
Other divination masters also said that May is an evil month and not suitable for marriage.
Anyway, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhu, went to a divination master, went to a temple or a Taoist temple, and showed people her birthdays, and they all said they wanted to get married before May.
So Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhu, urged her to go back and get married, and the date was set for April 28th. I heard that my uncle’s house is ready, the new house is packed, everything is ready, and even relatives have been notified.
The master arranged to take the boat back just in time. I will have a few days to spare when I get home. (End of this chapter)
