Chapter 106: The Day of the Death of the Dead Mother
When you approach the coast, the most common thing you hear is the chirping of seagulls, and even the smell of the sea is a little lighter, mixed with the smell of earth.
On the side of the ship, you can already see the extended coastline, and the uplifted hills, lush green, and in the mountains and forests, there must be trees and shrubs and grasses scattered together with each other, walking in them, with a sultry and humid atmosphere, only a few times, will you feel the coolness of the wind.
It's just that this is most of the time on Qiongzhou Island, and it won't be so hot now, just because it's the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
The wax moon on Qiongzhou Island does not have the severe cold of winter, but the sea breeze is more intense, and the scorching sun is so hot that it is almost hot, Li Weizhu is wearing a crimson crane running to the clouds cloak, the cloak is swept up by the sea breeze, the fierce red, and her fair skin has become a stark contrast.
She is on the side of the ship, and it is the most touching scenery in Shen Yifeng's heart.
"We'll be on the shore later, just bear with it. Li Weizhu said.
From Hai'an to Qiongzhou Island, the sea journey is really a bit far, and Shen Yifeng is a little uncomfortable, although Li Weizhu prepared medicine for seasickness, Shen Yifeng is still a little uncomfortable after taking it.
"It's fine. Shen Yifeng said, "I can still stand it." β
"That's good. β
After another half an hour, the speed of the ship slowed down markedly, and it was ready to go ashore.
Li Weizhu and Shen Yifeng followed behind Wang Zhaoyin and Duan's family, and by the time Wang Zhaoyin introduced them, someone had already recognized Shen Yifeng as the prince of Kyoto, and greeted Shen Yifeng warmly and diligently.
In Kyoto, it is customary to have all kinds of people flattering him, Shen Yifeng has seen a lot of such people, with a faint and distant smile on his lips, and he also talks to the people present.
Because of that fight, Shen Yifeng's identity was guessed, and when he was in Hai'an, there were also officials who surrounded Shen Yifeng diligently, and at the same time, they were also very attentive to the girl next to him, that is, Li Weizhu. No matter how many times, Li Weizhu was a little embarrassed when she heard those flattering words, pursed her lips and smiled shyly, but did not speak.
"Miss Li is really a comfortable and quiet character, if my girl can't sit still, she is really from a family, this bearing looks unusual. β
Where was she born in what family? Li Weizhu smiled lightly and said nothing, there were too many flattering words, and she was already a little impatient in her heart.
Although Shen Yifeng greeted everyone, he has always paid attention to Li Weizhu here, knowing that she has lived in a simple environment since she was a child, and she is not very suitable for such an atmosphere, especially when she encounters many people who talk like this, sometimes she is at a loss and doesn't know what to say.
"Although the wind and waves were calm, it was still a bit bumpy when the ship was driving on the sea. Shen Yifeng said, "I have an old disease on my feet......"
"Is there a disease in the feet of the prince?" asked a thin man with a long beard, "Our most famous doctor Shangguan on Qiongzhou Island is going out to travel to the doctor, and he is probably not on the island at this time." β
"Yes, Doctor Shangguan is out, isn't the Murong family friendly with him? It's better to ask the Murong family to write a letter to him and ask him to come back quickly, so that he can treat the prince's leg. β
"Are you stupid, Doctor Shangguan went out to travel to the doctor, if he is in Jiangyin today, and he will go to Huainan tomorrow without knowing it, who knows where he went?"
"You can't let the prince wait like this, let the Murong family write a letter, no matter where it is, it can always be found. β
Everyone was gossiping, and it was even more lively than just now. Shen Yifeng couldn't laugh or cry, he was thinking about resting early, instead of everyone talking about his leg disease here.
Li Weizhu saw Shen Yifeng's appearance, but pursed her lips and smiled, and her apricot eyes reflected a sparkling smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Shen Yifeng cleared his throat, "I'm not here to seek medical treatment. β
"It's with me. Wang Zhaoyin said with a smile, he knew that the people present also understood what Shen Yifeng wanted to rest in, but he always wanted to be more attentive in front of him, if he got blue eyes in front of Shen Yifeng, it seemed that he had registered with the saint, and he would have something to say, "Okay, the prince has a leg disease, and the inner person is pregnant, Miss Li is probably also very tired, she came from the inland and has never been a sea boat, so it is better to rest first." β
"Yes. A man wearing a seven-grade emerald green official uniform spoke: "It's better to drink and talk at night, don't get drunk and don't return, let the prince and the king settle down as soon as possible." β
So, a mighty group of people led Wang Zhaoyin and Shen Yifeng to the mansion.
Compared with the mansion in Hai'an, this mansion is a little bigger, although there are also neatly trimmed flowers and trees, just because there are fewer people, there is less anger, and when the servants of the Wang family carry things in, they have popularity, and this house gradually has popularity.
After sleeping all afternoon, Li Weizhu was in good spirits, and after sleeping, he was with Duan, while Shen Yifeng and Wang Zhaoyin went to the banquet, and in the evening, Wang Zhaoyin was drunk, and Shen Yifeng's eyes were bright.
Duan Shi greeted the door and wanted to step forward to support her husband, Wang Zhaoyin waved his hand, "Be careful that the smell of alcohol makes you uncomfortable." Just let the maid hold me. β
The maid hurriedly supported Wang Zhaoyin, while Li Weizhu greeted Shen Yifeng, her nose buzzing, "Have you drunk?"
Under the night, her eyes were like water, Shen Yifeng raised his hand and touched his nose, "I drank a little, I really can't shirk it, I remember you told me that you can drink a little now." Shen Yifeng's index and middle fingers were notched, indicating that he hadn't drunk much.
"It's just that I gave you the medicine before. Li Weizhu sighed and said, "Although it's not much, I'm afraid you're also a little drunk." β
Shen Yifeng had a good amount of wine before, but today with a sake or two, he had a slightly drunken meaning, the effect of wine made his white jade-like face dyed a good color, and there seemed to be a tide surging in his deep eyes, he smiled lowly, "I have never been drunk." Come with me. After finishing speaking, he reached out and grabbed Li Weizhu's wrist.
Li Weizhu was startled, after drinking the wine, his palms were burning a little hot, and Li Weizhu's face was also a little red.
"Miss. If it was before, Bai Qian would have turned a blind eye and pretended not to see Shen Yifeng's closeness to Miss, but now she also felt that Shen Yifeng was a little drunk, worried that he would be drunk, and Miss Meng Lang.
"Baiji. Shen Yifeng raised his eyes and looked at Bai Qi, "You also know my heart for your young lady." β
He was really drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have said this in front of the maid, Li Weizhu's face was a little hot, he didn't know what to say, and his ears were a little hot, "You're drunk." β
"I didn't. Shen Yifeng's eyes became brighter and brighter, he lowered his head, his fiery lips brushed her delicate cheeks, "Daishan, I want to go see the lanterns with you." β
His lips were soft and hot, Li Weizhu stepped back in shock, Shen Yifeng reached out and grabbed Li Weizhu's arm, making her whole person step forward and fall into his arms.
"Look. Shen Yifeng raised his eyes to look at Bai Qi, and wrapped his hands around Li Weizhu's waist with both hands, "I'm not drunk, I can protect Daishan." Daishan, can you take a walk with me?"
Li Weizhu was ashamed and annoyed, and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble." Go inside, and I'll give you a hangover." β
Shen Yifeng smiled, with a sense of loneliness in his eyes, "This is my mother's death day." He didn't let go of Li Weizhu, he leaned into Li Weizhu's ear, and the warm breath sprayed on her ear, "Walk with me, let's talk." β
Li Weizhu responded, and at the same time told the two maids not to follow.
Bai Ji and Madder glanced at each other, and Bai Qi asked uncertainly, "Will it be fine?" β
"Miss has the ability to protect herself. Madder said concisely, she had seen a lot along the way, Li Weizhu always had medicinal powder in her sleeve, and there was a silver needle pinned to it.
"They haven't gotten married yet. Bai Qian whispered, I always felt that if such a young lady had a substantive relationship with Shen Yifeng, wouldn't she want to be a concubine?
"Shizi is not that kind of person, and Miss will not agree. Madder said lightly.
At this time, it is already the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the fifteenth day of the month on Qiongzhou Island, if there is no rain, there are always lanterns, just because this is a small island in the sea, the sky is not beautiful when it is mostly half, a year down, it is only two or three days of lantern festivals.
A full moon in the sky, with a hazy moon halo, seems to be enveloped by a very fine silk veil, the sea breeze surges, the wide sleeves fluttering, and the women's dresses are beautiful.
In this kind of weather, that is, the weather is fine now, if the wind is more urgent, I am afraid that it will rain.
Li Weizhu and Shen Yifeng were strolling, he had already let go of her hand, the smell of wine on his body was faint and almost inaudible, if it weren't for the redness of his earlobes, he couldn't tell that he had drunk wine today.
Shen Yifeng was just a moment of loneliness and loss, and at this time he walked beside Li Weizhu with a light smile, and talked with her about couplets, anagrams, and the style of lanterns. It was as if he had just said nothing in the mansion. It's just that Li Weizhu knows that Shen Yifeng's loneliness and loss at that moment are so real.
Since he didn't want to mention it, she didn't mention it either, and talked to Shen Yifeng about the fun of a crane lamp.
"Wait. β
Since she wanted the lamp, he fetched it for her. The owner of the paver is an elegant character, out of the anagram, if you answer ten anagrams in a row, the lantern is taken by itself. Because the anagram was strange and tricky, it was the turn of the last anagram, Shen Yifeng frowned and thought about it for a while before giving the answer.
"This son's talent is good. The lanterns I paved are self-inflicted!" said the owner of the paver with a smile.
Shen Yifeng chose the lantern in the shape of the crane, the crane was woven with thin bamboo strips, spread its wings and wanted to fly, and it was a flower basket in its mouth, and the flower basket was surrounded by glass, which contained candles, the candles were swaying, and the crystal glass reflected the lights moving. When this crane lantern was chosen, the owner of the paver was a little reluctant.
"Send you. Shen Yifeng stuffed the crane lamp into Li Weizhu's palm.
There was a good-natured laughter around, Li Weizhu took the lamp, the light in her eyes was more moving than the flickering lights, and suddenly thought that when she was in Xiangyang City, she had also visited the Lantern Festival, and at that time she guessed the medicinal herbs and got a lantern.
At that time, there was the comfort of that time, and there was the warmth of this time.
"Let's go. Li Weizhu said.
Carrying this lantern, there are always people who look at it curiously, the atmosphere in the south is open, Shen Yifeng has also been thrown twice Flower Branch, Flower Branch hooked his jade crown, or Li Weizhu asked him to bow his head, so he took off the Flower Branch and did not mess with his hair.
The seven or eight flower branches that I got in the end were all inserted next to the flower basket of the crane lamp, which was very beautiful.
The flow of people was surging, and before the two knew it, they were at a jewelry stall.
The sound of this shop is booming, Shen Yifeng took a fancy to it at a glance, placed in the middle, a set of pearl hairpins, inserted in the black flannel, a total of eighteen pearl hairpins, one in the middle is a tassel hairpin, with red gemstones, surrounded by colorless zircon.
"Although there is no shop pΓΉ, I guarantee that the jewelry here is unique to Qiongzhou Island, and there is no need to rent a store pΓΉ, and the jewelry is affordable and beautiful. β
"This son's vision is really good, this little hairpin is very suitable for the young lady next to you, the young lady's head is good, black as a cloud, pull up the oblique bun, use this sea pearl hairpin, it looks very good. β
"This is an authentic South China Sea pearl, you look at a grain is full of particles, smooth is also good, this style is not rare, Qiongzhou Island is unique, Childe and Miss are not locals, buy a set, take it out, the scenery is very. β
Shen Yifeng had done carving, picked up the hairpin, just like the owner of the pave said, the casting is exquisite, "How much?" Sea pearls are the least rare in Qiongzhou Island, even if the hairpin in the middle is just a small piece of ruby, not worth much money, and a set of jewelry is only fifty taels of silver.
Shen Yifeng suddenly spoke, "In my mother's warehouse, there is also such a set of noodles, which was originally bought from Qiongzhou Island. β
This is the second day of tonight, and Shen Yifeng mentioned his mother. His mother-in-law Qin is not the daughter of Gaomen, but the daughter of the right general when his father was in the war, because of the death of his father, Shen Weishao married Shen Yifeng's mother-in-law Qin, and a year later Qin died in childbirth, Shen Weishao married the current princess, Qi.
Qin's and Qi's can be said to be two completely opposite people, Qin's is not literate, and Qi's is a famous talented woman in Kyoto, Qin's glory is gorgeous, Qi's appearance is not good, Qin's is a little cowardly, and he can't get on the stage, because his father blocked an arrow for Shen Weishao, so he has a relationship between Qin and Shen Weishao, and Qi's is that the saint intended to let Qi marry Shen Weishao.
After the death of the Qin family, the Qi family was also seventeen years old, and then became the step-princess of the Shenwei Palace, and soon had a son.
Although Shen Weishao is a person in the army, he can be called a Confucian general, the Qin family, who is glamorous but does not understand literature and ink, he liked it at first, and then he felt a little bored, he really had nothing to say to this princess, so when the Qin family was pregnant, he carried two maids who were like interpreting flowers, and became maids in the same room, which is also human nature.
With the Qin family in front, and then the Qi family, although her appearance is not good, he likes her gentle and virtuous temperament, likes her talent, and the relationship between the two is also praised in Kyoto. Even Shen Weishao didn't marry other concubines later, only this Qi family.
So Shen Yifeng's position is a little embarrassing, although he is the eldest son, but there is no foreign family that can support him, the Qi family has a son and a daughter, Shen Yifeng was sent to the best academy when he was young, he has no talent, in front of these highly talented classmates, he is always a little inferior, Mr. recited a poem, others have shown a knowing smile, but he is at a loss, I don't know why.
In this way, it is natural that his life in the academy is becoming more and more difficult.
His father hated that iron could not be made of steel, and wanted him to come back from the academy.
Shen Yifeng still remembered Qi's words back then, he could smell the faint aroma on her body, and her voice was gentle and soft, "In that kind of academy, even if you can learn the style of that group of students, it's good." It doesn't matter if you learn well or not. β
"It's also my luck. Shen Yifeng said, "I met a good master, and then it was fine." Although it is an understatement, he still remembers being ridiculed and made fun of back then. It's just that at that time, he didn't perceive the malice of the step-princess, he only felt that his talent was not good, his younger brother was much faster than him, and his heart was full of inferiority.
After his knowledge was good, the princess invited the best master for him, and even if he went home on a day off, he would not let go of his studies.
Shen Yifeng is not a gifted person, he wasted a lot of candles, for a while, because he worked too hard and hurt his blood and blood, and hurt his eyes, he lived in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing for a year, and temporarily put down his studies, Shen Yifeng suddenly fell in love with Danqing, Qi chose a painter for him, and he followed to learn painting.
"You didn't hurt your eyes. Li Weizhu opened her mouth, if Shen Yifeng had a secret disease, she could also get it.
Shen Yifeng smiled and shook his head, "It's not surprising either. β
