At noon the next day, when Lin Ying saw the Huai Wang Sword and a note on the case in Shu'er's room, her heart was cold.

Lin Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought, Sister Shu'er, fortunately, I didn't tell you last night......

It seems that my forbearance has really been practiced at home. I thought you had been sleeping, but I didn't think you had left overnight. Brother Rong of the Zhuge family, the top of the beauty list, is peerless. He is really the person in your heart.

Shu'er's handwriting is a little sloppy:

XIAO Ying,

In a month, I will return. The sword is here, and the words are chiseled.

forgive

Lin Ying put her slender fingers on the word "forgiveness" in the inscription. Sister Shu'er, in front of me, you don't have to cover it up, and you don't have to explain it. You and Brother Rong haven't seen each other for three years, and you must have mixed feelings when you go to see him. Go and solve the doubts in your heart, whether it is in exchange for heartbeat or heart-death, within a month, you will come back, come back here, and see me again. I'll be here, waiting for you.

From Yuling to Xianhu, Shu'er still chose the fast and convenient but expensive waterway. Xianhu produces snow silkworms, snow silkworm silver silk, warm in winter and cool in summer, and feels like clouds and fog, as if it is tentacle. Since the reign of King Chu Zhao, the Xianhu silver silk will be supplied to the Linjiang Chu Palace all the year round, even if the king's relatives, dignitaries and nobles, can only weave a set of snow silkworm clothes during the New Year's holidays. The scourge of the Seven Kings, Zhaohuang closed the palace, and only then did snow silk flow to the people, and it could also be bought in ordinary clothing stores.

Shu'er arrived in Xianhu, and saw that although the war burned down half of the city in Xianhu, the remaining buildings, each small and exquisite, carved beams and painted buildings, saw that there were many ingenious craftsmen living here. Therefore, although Xianhu is not as atmospheric as Linjiang, it has a splendid and unique. She followed the route that Zhuge calmly explained in Yaowang Mountain three years ago, and booked a ferry ticket for Zhuge in Xianhu Beigang.

There are not many ships going to the East China Sea today, and Shu'er has to wait for half a day, so she bought two sets of snow silkworm silver silk women's clothes in the shop in Beigang, one goose yellow, one light green, plus the pink one that Lin Ying chose for her in Linjiang, a total of three sets. At the checkout, she sighed in her heart, if it weren't for the war in Chu and no one was rare for luxury items such as snow silkworm silver silk, she would not have been able to buy three sets of clothes of such a high-quality texture as soon as she arrived in Chu country. After buying clothes, she hurriedly prepared some dry food and water.

When she had nothing to do, she saw that there was a "Zhuge Money Village" nearby, so she walked in and asked the shopkeeper: "May I ask your host's young master Zhuge that you can live on that Xuanji Island in the near future?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "The son came just in time, the young master just returned to the island a few days ago. May I ask Childe, what are you looking for my young master? ”

Shu'er took the customs clearance documents of the Zhuge clan of the Chu State that Zhuge calmly left to him, and said, "I have an agreement with Young Master Zhuge . This customs clearance document was given to me by him three years ago, so that when I have time, I will go to Xuanji Island to find him. I have bought a ticket from Xianjiang to the East China Sea this afternoon, and I will change to a big ship in the East China Sea, and I will be able to go to Xuanji Island in a few days. However, we haven't seen each other for three years, and now I have taken the liberty to come here, and I haven't even prepared a greeting post, and I don't know if Young Master Zhuge has time to see me. ”

The shopkeeper said: "Since the prince has already booked the ticket, if you want to hand over a formal greeting post, I'm afraid it's too late at this time." However, our money village sends news to the island, and often uses gulls to pass on books. Childe can write a few words on this small piece of paper, and I will help you tie it to a gull bird, which flies from Xianhu to Xuanji Island in the East China Sea, but in two days, it is much faster than Childe's boat. When Childe set off from Xianhu today and went to Jintan in the East China Sea to change ships, my young master must have received your news on the island. If the weather and wind are not hindered, the big ships entering the sea in Jintan will only go back and forth every three days. When the son arrives at Jintan, he will stay in the inn of the Zhuge family for a few days, and after the young master receives the news, he will definitely send someone to pick you up and take you to the island. ”

Shu'er carefully wrote a line of small words on a thin note that the shopkeeper gave her: "Wuyi swordsmanship is Xiaocheng, Fanjing Yan's worship." ”

The shopkeeper folded the note and said, "I wish Gongzi a smooth journey." ”

Although the Xianjiang merchant ships will eventually arrive at the Golden Beach of the East China Sea, they will pass through many small towns and towns along the way, and everywhere they go, they will unload the goods, register the passengers, and stop the ship in the port at night, and do not sail, so it winds and turns, and it took six days for Shu'er to cross the lush reeds on both sides of the Xianjiang River and see the coast of the East China Sea.

At this time, there were very few passengers left on the merchant ships, and most of them were vendors who carried dry food and alcohol to the restaurants and inns on the Golden Beach Pier. Shu'er disembarked with them, inquired about the location of the inn run by the Zhuge family, and walked towards the endless East China Sea.

On the shore of the golden beach, there is a small inn with smoke curling from cooking. The three-storey wooden house is adorned with a string of white shell wind chimes that tinkle with the sea breeze and waves, and clusters of colorful flowers are gently swaying in several hanging baskets on the second floor. Shu'er suddenly felt that the so-called end of the earth was a rustic building that could only be seen at the end of Kyushu in the east.

That is the Golden Beach Inn of the Zhuge family. Shu'er walked into the inn, and the elderly shopkeeper looked at her, saluted and asked, "Childe is Boss Yan of Chen Guofanjing?" ”

Shu'er thought to herself, this gull bird is really fast. She saluted the shopkeeper and said, "It's down there." ”

The shopkeeper said: "When my young master heard that the son was coming, he was very happy, and specially ordered the old slave to greet him here." Childe, please follow me to the upper room with the sea view on the third floor to rest, and the young master will arrive in the evening. ”

When the shopkeeper opened the door, he couldn't help but be amazed by the scenery and layout of this "sea view upper room". Open the large window, the sea breeze blows, you can see the waves of the East China Sea, layer by layer. On the golden sand, every fine sand shines.

In addition to the comfortable curtains, there is also a bookcase and a dressing table in the room. On the bookcase, there are several books of Kyushu scenery neatly placed, including travelogues about beautiful scenery and food, maps of various weapons, and anecdotes of chivalry and biographies of emperors. Shu'er flipped through them casually, they were all books she had never seen, and she felt that this was worthy of the end of the world, and even the books on the case were very novel.

There was a round bronze mirror with a very good texture standing on the dressing table, Shu'er had never seen such a large bronze mirror, and she had never seen her face in the bronze mirror so clearly. She smiled at herself in the bronze mirror, feeling that she actually looked pretty good, but she couldn't help but think sadly, I don't know, I look more like my biological father, or more like Xiao Niangniang in the palace.

Next to the bronze mirror, there is an elephant bone comb, milky white and clean, with clear lines. Shu'er removed the man's bun, let Qingsi hang down his shoulders, picked up the elephant bone comb, and combed his hair.

She opened the drawer of the dressing table and was surprised to see that it was full of pearl jewelry, including necklaces and earrings, all of which were made of precious stones, jade or pearls of the finest color. She couldn't help but think narrowly, it turned out that this was the so-called "rich country", and even the small inn on the beach hid so many rare things. In contrast, I, the richest man in Chen State, am really in vain.
