Chapter 156: Little Women
Willow Branch was made uncomfortable by him, and vaguely thought that he actually wanted to be in harmony with the sky, and he was not ashamed to say that he was in the current mood, but he didn't object to it. Just when she felt that she couldn't stand it anymore, Li Chun let go of her and jumped up: "It's here." ”
Willow was eager to kick him twice, but there was also a hint of curiosity about what he was talking about. She sat up lazily and looked ahead, holding her breath.
The sea that should have been dark was full of starlight.
The willow branch couldn't help but look up at the night sky, the stars were still there, but they had lost their color, and the sea surface was shining and shining, rising and falling with the waves, like a dream.
"What is this?" Unconsciously she stood up and grabbed his arm and asked softly.
"Jellyfish. Glowing jellyfish, which congregate on the surface of Wingwing Bay several times a year. The first time I saw it, I thought I was dreaming, and I vowed to let you see it one day. ”
There are unimaginable beautiful scenery in this world, and there are naturally unbreakable feelings in this world.
They kissed on the fluorescent seashore, and the willow branch answered him, and he promised everything he said, and there were only two of them between heaven and earth.
She grabbed the trunk and let him ask for it. She looked up at the starlight, and she just thought it was very beautiful. She seemed to be asking him, and she seemed to be asking herself, "I don't want a man's father and mother, and I went to the ends of the earth to do this kind of thing, am I shameless?" ”
His sturdy body covered her, powerful but incomparably gentle, kissing his little girl, the most beautiful and lovely little girl in the world, inch after inch, exposing all her thoughts before him.
"No," he replied to his beloved little girl, "you are not shameless, but because you like me." I like you too. ”
With a click, the treasure is locked, so you don't have to worry about being stolen. Willow closed her eyes, knowing that she could be completely at ease.
Three years have passed.
A feathered clipper sailed into the dock, and the bay was filled with similar clippers, as well as several cargo ships, all painted with lions in various forms. This is a small bay and is the private harbor of the Bai family.
The feathered boat was painted with only a pair of lion eyes, under the knotted hair. Every time they see these lion eyes, everyone will feel subtle unhappiness in their hearts, which is the sign of Swallow Island.
Why don't you let the boats on Swallow Island dock, but how many Bai family ships are packed on Swallow Island. Since Lord Xia resigned and returned to Beijing, Nanquan officialdom has been very delicate, and last year he changed the commander of the capital, and a marquis with hard support came from the capital, clamoring for the rectification of maritime affairs. There is a smiling tiger surnamed Lu under his command who is particularly difficult, and he has to change the promotion of Nanquan City.
If you follow the rules carefully, you won't be able to live that day. During the time of the first emperor, the eastern and western oceans together only gave a total of 50 portions, and it only increased to 100 portions ten years ago. Among them, only 16 went to Luzon, four each in Siam, Cambodia and Champa, and only two in Malacca.
Smuggling ships are something that everyone knows well, and people also pay taxes, and they get along with the city department very affectionately, but now it is more serious.
Willow Branch jumped down from the feather boat, very steadily. She is now completely accustomed to sea boats. Swallow Island is very prosperous now, there are two or three hundred permanent residents, Liu Zhi is tired of living on the island, he will come to Nanquan City to buy, buy, eat, eat, stay for a few days and then come back.
However, her face was obviously not very happy now, a brown man with a brown caftan of five big and three thick and a woman in green clothes holding a package followed suit, and her mouth kept enlightening her.
"Little sister-in-law, Brother Xiaochun is not here, if you want to convict him, you have to wait for him to come back; Your vindictiveness shouldn't be for you to go, of course it's the one who makes a face. ”|
"Yes, lady, you are the head lady, why did you run out."
"I just want to go shopping! Suffocated on the island! Willow Branch kicked the corner of the skirt, "This time I will stay in Nanquan for several days, eat and buy things well." Tonight we will go to Yuhualou to eat mutton soup, and I will nibble on the sheep's trotters in sauce. ”
"Wow, it's cool to think about it, little sister-in-law, don't you have a piece of lamb stewed in rice wine."
"Of course, the meat is so simmered, just think about it-"
"Sister-in-law, don't talk about it, or we'll go at noon."
"I'm afraid that it won't work at noon, and his family's rice wine stewed mutton will be simmered for two hours, both yesterday and today, and the morning and evening. Let's eat Ding Fu Ji's shrimp balls and osmanthus duck at noon. ”
"Following my sister-in-law is a blessing, so I like to go out with my sister-in-law the most."
Seeing that the topic was about to be crooked to Java, Xingrui glared at Zhang San, this kind of person didn't know what the festival was, and she tried her best to pull back the topic with the efforts of a loyal servant: "Lady, let's go back earlier, didn't Master Ping say that Master Li will come back in the next two days?" If he can't see you, how disappointed he should be. ”
"Oh, you're very verbose, if you want to go back so much, go back by yourself, I must eat the mutton of Yuhualou before I go back."
······
A group of people entered the city so gossipingly, turned around and came to a narrow alley, only to see two small black doors closed, Zhang Sanxian stepped forward, picked up the big slap of the pu fan and slapped the door loudly, and heard a series of "coming, coming" in the footsteps from far and near, the door "creaked" opened, revealing a woman's face.
"The lady is back," the woman said in surprise. This is Mrs. Zhang's mother who gave her by Mrs. Seven, and she has been living with Aunt Xu's mother and son in the small courtyard of Liufu Lane in the past few years to help her take care of her house. This extremely small two-entry courtyard was secretly bought by Liu Zhi with Li Chun's private money, count it as her private property, and it was also the first home she placed when she arrived in Nanquan, and she was very emotional.
Zhang's mother maintained the yard very well, and she also felt that she was lucky, where was there such a good thing, the host's family only came back occasionally to live for a few days, usually she and Aunt Xu's mother and son, Aunt Xu was not an eventful person, so Zhang's mother was extraordinarily dedicated.
Willow Branch freshened up and rested, changed his clothes and went to the restaurant. Aunt Xu was also surprised and delighted to see her, the restaurant has not changed much, the windows are still bright and clean, it has been painted once recently, the walls are snow-white, and they are still so outstanding on West Street.
This is what Willow Branch asked for, and she paid for it. The three-year lease given by Zhou Qianhu before had arrived, but this time she didn't want to worry about it, Li Chunzao asked someone to help her go to the command post and sign a three-year deed. She likes Li Chun very much, and never says to her, "Don't do it if it's small and dirty", "How about buying a shop", "Is it good to do big business", because he knows that if he is tired or what he wants, he will open his mouth to him unabashedly.
As long as he still wants to do something, he will do it himself.
Aunt Xu brought a cup of herbal tea to Liu Zhi, and talked to her about business while talking about homely things. Liu Zhi gave half of this food shop to Aunt Xu, and in the past three years, Aunt Xu has already paid off the capital, and also saved a few taels of silver for Xiao Shrimp to marry his daughter-in-law.
"If it weren't for the lady, where would we be today." Aunt Xu sighed and wiped the corners of her eyes. Not only did he save money on food and housing, but he also gave himself such a way. This restaurant has also been in business for so many years, it is considered a reputable brand, and the more important thing is that no one dares to come to find trouble, even the usual filial piety money on West Street has not been collected, but Liu Zhi told Aunt Xu to prepare a gift for Bai Zhutou and his subordinates every New Year's holiday.
"Mother, these old words have been said a few times, and we do a good job in the shop is the greatest reward to my sister." Xiao Shrimp said unhappily. He's a sturdy lad now, and he's still so sharp.
"Hey, yes, yes." Aunt Xu turned to care about Liu Zhi's belly, "Lady, don't you have any news yet?" A few days ago, I went to the Niangniang Temple to burn incense for the lady and asked for a talisman—" She said as she panicked to find the talisman, "Hey, this, that's it, Lady, you go back and put it under the pillow for ten days." That's how I got pregnant with shrimp in the first place. ”
"Mother!" Xiao Shrimp came forward again to relieve the willow branch, "Sister, you, how many days will you stay this time?" Xiao Shrimp wanted to say that you don't worry, thinking about what was wrong, so she changed her tone and asked her how long she would stay, "Shall I cook for you at night?" "Now shrimp is a chef.
"Haha, not tonight, we made an appointment to go to Yuhualou to eat mutton. Tomorrow, I'm going to stay for a few days, and then I'll take out all your craftsmanship haha. Willow got up.
Xiao Shrimp sent her to the corner of the street and watched her still slender as a girl's figure leave.
