Chapter Sixty-Eight: Farewell to the Sea
Chapter 68: Farewell to the Sea
At the beginning of May, the sea and the sky, the day is blue and clear, and the night is the blue galaxy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Xie An moved back to the fishing village to live, those new young men trembled when they saw him, and Fu Yuan, a young ranger with a wooden sword pinned to him, reflexively wanted to dodge.
The young man was afraid of Xie An, because they had molested his maid Xiao Qi'er, but they were bumped into the sea by this thin little gentleman, and then the big boss and the Yu housekeeper knew about it, but the Yu housekeeper didn't speak, and the big boss Shi Hao immediately punished them for helping the little bird grind a few cans of sea clam powder, which made their hands soft and their backs sore.
Later, Xie An also got the power to punish the young man from Shi Hao - each person had to pick up a basket of sea vegetables every day, and he had to learn Chinese from Xie An, and if he couldn't say it, he would go to the sea to soak for an hour. Because the northern capital of Xiangguo began to speak Luoyang dialect, the lord of the country Shi Le recruited many Han people who stayed in the north as officials in order to rectify the government and government, regardless of whether the north and the south have always regarded the dialect of Luoyang, the old capital of the Jin Dynasty, as an official language, and heard that Shi Le intended to move the capital to Luoyang.
After all, if you want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, Chang'an and Luoyang are the first choice of the national capital.
Just to move the capital to Luoyang, then it will definitely arouse the anger of the Jiangzuo court, for peace, in order to recuperate, Shi Le just thinks about it, the next choice than Luoyang is the former Cao Wei's Yecheng, because of Cao Wei's construction foundation, the royal capital still exists, suitable for the national capital.
In any case, Luoyang dialect is considered to be the official dialect of the day by default in the north and south.
And the young people are afraid of Huan Wen, who is alias Fu Yuan, because Huan Wen has returned to his old business in the fishing village - opening a casino.
Although Huan Wen repeatedly explained to Xie An that this was a strategy to corrupt the enemy, weaken the enemy's will, and win over the enemy, Xie An was skeptical about this, and seriously suspected that Huan Wen's hands were itching.
The casino was opened at night, and it was secretly set up in the firewood room in Xie An's courtyard under the secret of the big boss.
How could the young people gamble with Huan Wen, and some of them lost so much that their pants were gone, but Huan Wen was not angry, and allowed them to play white stripes.
For a while, in May, Xie An and Huan Wen were in a good mood as the weather.
The stars in the night sky of May are brilliant, and Shen Jin often rows a boat to take Xie An to the sea to watch the stars, but Xie An goes to sleep and snorkel, and the gambling house is too noisy, but for Huan Wen's plan to win people's hearts, he endured it.
In fact, if they want to escape, they have many opportunities to escape, and Jiankang also sent a letter asking Shen Jin to find an opportunity to send Xie An away, but Xie An insisted on not leaving, and if he left at this time, it would cause Haikou's uneasiness.
In the summer starry sky, the Milky Way is particularly obvious, Shen Jin recognizes the Cowherd and Vega, and will also recite "Morning Glory, Bright River Han Girl", he still remembers that this is the story that Daddy told him in order to be interested in the stars.
The study of astrology is conducive to navigation, in the past, the Shen family had a fishing boat to go to sea, and Daddy planned to let him go to sea at the age of ten to practice, but he didn't expect the Shen family to decline, and he also almost became a prisoner from the little Langjun who was dressed in brocade clothes and jade food, Shen Jin looked thoughtfully at Xie An who was asleep on the other end of the boat.
"Watch me do what?" Xie An is extremely keen, there has been a lot of progress in Xuan cultivation recently, as soon as Shen Jin's breathing rhythm changed, he woke up, and in the faint light, Xie An's eyes seemed to be filled with fine starlight.
Shen Jin smiled and said honestly: "I envy you." ”
Xie An was stunned, "Indeed, a life like mine is really not inspirational enough." ”
Shen Jin shook his head, "It's not that I envy your background, but your mentality, you are young, but in the past few months, I have found that no matter how angry you are, you can deal with it calmly, even if you want to be angry, you will not let people see your intentions." I used to hate people like you the most, but in fact, it was because I couldn't have it myself, so I would envy it, if I could be like you......"
Xie An turned around and lay on the side of the boat, reaching out to catch the starlight floating in the waves, and his voice came faintly from the sound of the waves, "You're like me, it's not fun......"
As he spoke, he turned back to Shen Jin and smiled, turned over and jumped into the sea.
Shen Jin was dumbfounded, and just praised Xie An for his calmness, how could he make an unexpected move in the blink of an eye.
This is a shallow sea, there should be no big fish as aggressive as Jiaoyu, and Xie An's diving skills have been excellent in the past few months, because of Xuan Xiu's foundation, he can dive two hundred times in the offshore sea for the longest time, and he has a fight with fishermen who grew up on the beach since childhood, which can be described as talented.
Therefore, Shen Jincai envied him, and felt sorry for the child who was born at the same age as him, because there is such a person, and the light of others is much darker than that, just like this starry sky, even if the stars are prosperous, there are only a few that are really bright and dazzling.
Although Xie An explained to him that some stars are brighter because they are close to us, and some stars are far, far away, so they are different in brightness. Shen Jin didn't seem to understand, and he had heard Xie An and Bai Zhou discuss what telescopes they had before, and said that they would give him one as a gift, lest he look at the sky all day long and see through his eyes and not see clearly that the moon is actually full of pits.
……
Xie An dived into the sea because he wanted to find something.
After getting acquainted with the nature of the water, the originally intimidating sea water became an intimate companion, finding the direction of the current, which can make the swimmer like a fish more effortless, he dived into the water, swam for a while, and followed a glowing fish to find a large oyster.
Most of the fishing village pirates go to sea to find treasures such as corals and mother oysters in the sea, Xie An has also seen diving before, but most of them are pearls as small as sand, and after picking them up, they are given to the dog baby, so that he can keep them as his wife.
But this one seemed to be different from the past, at least weighing more than six catties, and he surfaced to summon Shen Jin to get on the boat.
In the end, the two of them laboriously pried the oyster open, and when they cut open the meat, they saw that there was really a pearl, and it was a large black pearl.
"I'm still worried about when I'll be able to find the big pearl to give away, but now I can be regarded as finding it, I haven't ......learned diving in vain in the past few months," Xie Anxin stretched out with satisfaction.
"You learned to dive to find pearls?" Shen Jin suddenly realized that Xie An has been diving very diligently recently, and since he became proficient, he would look for oysters at the bottom of the sea every time.
"Of course, otherwise I will return to Jiankang with a bunch of dried kelp seaweed and dried squid?" Xie An was pleased to store the pearls carefully, "This trip was not in vain. ”
"To whom? Lord Situ? Shen Jin asked casually.
Xie An was wet and blown by the sea breeze, sneezed, and said vaguely: "The little lady who lives opposite my house." ”
Are you in the opposite door? More important than Lord Szeto? You're going to be his student when you go back, huh? Shen Jin glanced at him inexplicably, if others had this opportunity to climb the Langya Wang family, they would have already presented the treasure of the family...... Wait, Chen Jun Xie lives in Wuyi Lane, and his house is opposite the door, it seems to be ......
"Who's the other door to your house?" Shen Jin asked curiously while bringing him dry clothes to change.
Xie An was more inexplicable than him, "Haven't you figured out my information for more than half a year?" How will I be my secret agent and confidant in the future? The opposite door of my house is the mansion of the Langya Wang. ”
There is only one little lady living in Langya Wang's mansion now, that is, Wang Xizhi, who was laughed at by the entire Jiankang and was considered to be a stain on the calligraphy family.
Shen Jin was silent, he had always wondered why Director Wang took a fancy to Xie An, after more than half a year of contact, he finally recognized Xie An's qualifications, but he didn't think that the two families still had this relationship, and Director Wang regarded his niece as more important than his own children...... Actually familiar with Xie An?
Could it be that the two families of Wang Xie will marry in the future?
It's just that the daughters of the family have always married highly, and the second- and third-rate status of the Xie family in Chenjun, the children of the Xie family can only marry the daughters of the family who are lower than him, especially the first-class scholars such as the Langya Wang family and the Taiyuan Wang family, and the girls have always married to the royal family to consolidate their status.
"What are you in a daze, row back, if I get sick, you will be scolded to death by Huan Xiaowen!"
After Xie An got acquainted with him, he had no scruples to summon people. Shen Jin skimmed the reverie in his mind and rowed a boat to cross the night, but before they could dock, someone ran by on the simple dock with torches like a stream of fireflies, and in the firelight, people could be seen gathering, as if some important person was coming, and the small quiet fishing village was suddenly smeared with uneasy colors.
Xie An and Shen Jin glanced at each other, and both of them saw the light of uneasiness and excitement in each other's eyes.
