Dongzhu was happy, she was enthusiastic to discuss with the craftsman what shape of bed to make, Han Ji took the opportunity to kidnap Haizhu, these days Dongzhu has dominated her, he has never found a chance for the two to be alone.

"You didn't feel reluctant about our marriage, did you?" He always wanted to ask about it, "Didn't you agree to this marriage for the sake of my father's face?" ”

"Is there a difference?" Haizhu asked.

"Of course there is, it's not fair to me."

Haizhu glanced at him, "It's cheap and good." ”

"You like me, don't you?" Han Ji pulled her to hide behind a tree and approached to ask.

Haizhu leaned her head back against the trunk of the tree and looked at him without saying a word.

Han Ji retreated in her gaze, he took a step back, and asked himself: "Also, with your character, if you don't like me, you won't agree to this marriage." The sixth day of March is a good day, on the morning of the sixth day of the first month, I sent my mother and the matchmaker to the door to propose, you remember to wait at home, don't run. ”

Now Haizhu nodded, "I'll go back tomorrow morning, you send us back." ”

"Sister-" Dongzhu couldn't see the person shouting.

The two walked out from behind the tree.

……

There are nearly 20 days left before the sixth day of the third lunar month, Haizhu told the family the news after he went back, and took Qi Laosan to the sea to pick bird's nest the next day.

I haven't been to Yandao for half a month, and I didn't bring the old turtle over this time, Haizhu is also worried about encountering killer whales again, and if the old turtle enters the whale mouth again, maybe he will still be alive.

But she didn't see the shadow of the killer whale for more than half a month, Yandao was peaceful, she followed Qi Laosan to arrive in the morning every day, climbed to the top of the cliff to pick bird's nests for more than an hour, and returned home after noon when the sun was setting.

During this period, Han Ji came over to deliver two rounds of medicine, and the house next door to her house was also built, the two small courtyards were rebuilt, flowers and trees were planted in the yard, and new tables, chairs and benches were added.

The news has been conveyed to all the wharves and villages, and the catch of fishermen these days is particularly popular, and when the tide is low, the seaside is full of people, and there is no place for seabirds to stay. Walking to the village lined with stone houses, the courtyard of every house is full of salted fish, dried shrimp, dried clams and shellfish, and the branches of the trees are covered with sea vegetables.

Qi Laosan and Haizhu cast their nets all the way back every day, and the fish they caught were snatched up when they reached the shore, and no one picked whether they were dead or alive.

Chapter 150: Farewell to the Killer Whale (Overturn and Rewrite, Rewatch After Reading)

Early in the morning of the fifth day of the third month, ten official ships set sail from the island, five to the east and five to the docks. As soon as the official ship docked, the crowded small traders and vendors on the wharf rushed to hand over the tolls, and even picked and carried them on the ship, each looking for a place to store the goods.

The first official ship, full of people and goods, sailed westward, and the remaining merchants on the wharf boarded the second ship, and when the sun rose, they joyfully waved goodbye to their families, and sailed out of the city with the intention of making a fortune. The next three empty ships followed, and the five ships left one after another, and the dock was much empty.

"Gone, go back, they took the official boat, and there were soldiers on the ship who had killed bandits, and they were designated to have no accidents." The old man was not worried about sending his son on the boat this time, he was still worried about the kelp at home, and pushed the wooden cart away.

On the way back to the city, they met the carriage of the general's mansion, and they pushed the wooden cart to the side of the road, and the carriage drove past the copper plate with red ropes, and they hurriedly put down what they were holding and rushed over to grab it.

"The young general is overjoyed, and you are so happy."

"The major general is overjoyed?" The person who picked up the copper plate looked up and wondered, "Whose girl?" Why haven't you heard from you? ”

"A few days ago, I saw people from the General's Mansion coming out on the street to buy, and it seems that they bought a lot of red cloth and red rope." A mother-in-law answered.

"Which girl?"

"I don't know."

A group of six carriages had gone away, and the people with good deeds turned around to the wharf again, and searched the road for missing copper plates, peanuts, longan, and red dates, and when they arrived at the wharf, they found that the official ship moored in the bay had gone, and she inquired: "Do you know which girl the young general wants to marry?" ”

"Yongning Wharf, said that he went to sea with the ship to suppress bandits last year."

"That girl, I know, my second boy came back and talked about it, saying that she was very good at diving in the sea."

"So, the young general's wife is our girl from Guangnan?" The old man who was weaving the fishing net laughed when he heard this, "The young general has a good eye, our girl from Guangnan may have done it." ”

When the news spread, everyone put down the discussion, each had their own things to do, and they couldn't take care of eating when they were busy, so how could they think about things that had nothing to do with them.

In the evening, the official boat passed through the middle of the fully loaded fishing boats and went straight to the island outside the Yongning Wharf.

"This is a turtle raised by Haizhu, and it often goes to the sea with her, and its presence on the island indicates that Haizhu has not gone to sea today." Han Ji said to his mother.

The guard on the side moved his mouth, and when the general's wife left, he said to Han Ji: "Haizhu went to sea today, she went to sea every day during this time, she left in the morning without waiting for the low tide, and came back in the evening when the tide receded." ”

Han Ji looked down at the tide, the reef was mostly flooded by the sea, and it was not yet time for the tide to recede. He walked to the boat and looked at the sea reflected by the setting sun, a faint waning moon was faintly visible in the thin clouds, and when the sunset completely fell into the sea level, the crescent moon was dyed with the color of the candle flame, and the color became thicker, and the sea in the distance was clouded with night, and the blue and clear sea became gray.

In the southwest of the sea, a boat with sails floated, the bow of the ship broke through the churning tide, and the girl in a goose-yellow dress stood firmly under the sails.

The boat passed by the island, Han Ji leaned on the side of the boat on the second floor and stared intently at the people on the boat, Haizhu didn't speak, let alone stay, and let the boat carry the sea breeze quickly.

Seeing the boat approaching the dock, and finally collecting the sails, the night blurred the figure of the person, Han Ji retracted his gaze and got off the boat, after tonight, he and her had a legitimate relationship.

A large number of stars dotted on the night, one by one, with the sound of the waves, the stars and the crescent moon disappeared into the clouds, the vast sea completely fell into the dark night, the sea water was as black as ink, and became clear in the clear chirping of birds.

The night withdraws from the sea, the morning sun climbs up to the clouds, and the mist in the wind is tinted with a faint sheen. Birds hovered away from the trees on the island, landed on the reef by the sea to comb their feathers, and spread their wings as soon as the tide receded from the beach.

When the sleeping people wake up, people appear on the seashore, the full birds leave, and the stretches of beach bring hope for the hard-working people to feed their families.

The man who went out to sea to fish energetically propped the boat away, like a seabird leaving the nest running to the boundless sea, Han Ji led the boat to the morning sun, and the sails rose in the wind, from today on, his small family also has a prototype.

The official ship sailed from the island to the wharf, and the bright red cloth tied to the mast attracted the attention of the guards on the wharf.

The matchmaker came down with a bamboo basket with a red face, and gave everyone a lot of happy money and fruits, "Everyone is touched by the joy of the young general, he is happy today, and he has come to propose to the girl he likes." ”

"Which girl?" The grandmother who sells oysters asked.

"Isn't it Haizhu?" Mao Xiaoer felt that there would be no one else except Haizhu.

"Yes, it's her." Han Ji replied in the affirmative, "On the day I marry her, please drink the wedding wine." ”

"I guess it's her." Mao Xiaoer was proud, he arched his hand and said, "Say hello to the young general." ”

There was a burst of festive words on the wharf, and the matchmaker and the maid finished scattering the money and fruits in the bamboo basket and hurried to follow the carriage that went ahead.

……

"Do I wear this?" Yu Laishun stood in front of the bronze mirror and asked.

"No one will see what you're wearing today, okay, get your life back quickly, let's go." Qin Jing Niang put the last silver hairpin on her hairpin, she patted the pleats on her clothes, and hurriedly locked the door and left the village.

Passing by the dock and seeing the carriage that had already walked to the street, she turned into the alley with Yu Laishun on tiptoe, and the two ran up in the alley with their lives in their arms, and hurriedly stepped into Qi's house before the carriage turned into Qingshi Lane.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming." Yu Laishun was excited, he put Pingsheng on the ground, walked quickly to the edge of the water tank and cut his hair in front of the water.

Dongzhu rolled his eyes behind his back, secretly muttering that he was blind, who would look at him today.

"It's coming, it's coming." Qi Laosan took the lead in welcoming out.

The people who heard the news in the alley all walked out, and the child excitedly grabbed the money, and jumped around the tall horse, and Erwang excitedly called his father to buy him a horse, "In the future, I will also ride a big horse to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

The people in the alley laughed, and Han Ji also laughed, and he dismounted in front of Qi's house.

"Let's go inside." Grandma Qi couldn't be more satisfied with this family affair, she didn't say anything, and welcomed people into the door first.

Mrs. Hou got out of the carriage, and she smiled at the stunned neighbors, "Meet again, what I said before is true, I didn't lie." "Only the identity is fake.

When the people entered the house, all the things on the carriage were removed, and the carriage and horses were brought into the newly built courtyard of the Han family.

"I'll just say, she doesn't look like a waiter." Hong Shanniang said loudly.

"Oh, let's say we've had dinner at the same table with a lady who has a fate." Someone reacted and sighed: "In the future, I will blow it to my relatives." ”

"We've also eaten the food cooked by the hostess of the General's Mansion!" Hong Shanniang laughed, "In the future, the price of our house in this alley will increase again." ”

Qin Jingniang brought out the wedding cake sent by the man's family and distributed it to everyone, her face was full of joy, happier than the day she got married.

"Jing Niang, you will be blessed in the future." The neighbors who dealt with her spoke.

Qin Jingniang waved her hand, she didn't have this idea, her life was passable, the man was in business, the child was small, and she could live a good life without touching the light of the general's mansion. In the future, she will still live her own life, and Haizhu will live her life well.

Shen's mother hurried over when she heard the letter, turned into the alley, she slowed down, adjusted the expression on her face, and walked into Haizhu's house past the people who were squatting on the road eating cakes.

"Haizhu, I heard that there is a happy event at home?" She looked precisely at the woman sitting at the top, and she had only looked to the side that night, but she was sure that it was the same person.

"Uncle come in and sit down, come and eat the wedding cake." Haizhu got up to greet him.

"This is Shen Yuguan's wife and Shen Sui's mother." Han Ji made an introduction.

Mrs. Hou greeted lightly and didn't pay much attention to it.

She was cold, but Shen's mother was unusually enthusiastic, and she spoke around Haizhu with great eyes, saying how she knew Haizhu and how Haizhu was kind to her family.

"Haizhu is going to get married in the future, but I want to marry as a mother's family, she has a younger brother and no brother, so let her eldest brother and second brother send her out when the time comes."

"It's too early to say that." Haizhu had to interrupt her and asked instead, "How is Shen Sui's marriage?" ”

"O him, you are about to drink the wine of pleasure. Qingman's family is far away, and he can only let the matchmaker handle everything, and wait for the big wedding to take people over. ”

Haizhu glanced at Mrs. Hou, today she came to propose marriage in person, compared with Shen's mother, it seems that this mother-in-law values her very much.

Mrs. Hou was too lazy to listen to what she said and what she didn't, and she was really irritable to listen to these inconsequential words on a good day, she nodded the table and said, "Xiwang, what is the next arrangement?" It's still early, and it's not time to eat, so you can find something for us to kill time, so that I can be close to your mother-in-law and grandparents. ”

Han Ji was the first to think of going to the play, but considering that he would be disturbed by others, he dismissed this idea. Thinking of seeing Haizhu return from the distant sea last evening, the words in his mouth blurted out: "Why don't we go to sea by boat?" Buy some cooked food on the boat, bring the cake and tea, and fry a few side dishes on the boat, and the fish and shrimp caught are now killed and steamed, and eat the freshest. ”

"Okay—" Dongzhu moved, "let's go see the sea where my sister swam." ”

Mrs. Hou also agreed, this was really a clever idea, she gave Mama a look, and Mama immediately invited Mrs. Shen away with kind words.

The three families traveled together, walking in the crowd, Yu Laishun was particularly vigorous, walking on the street he straightened his back, when he met someone he knew, he raised his head high, his eyes did not squint, his face was extremely bright, he muttered in his heart to see who dared to laugh at him for raising a son for others.

Boarding the official ship, Haizhu went to tell the helmsman the direction of travel, and the helmsman waited for the grocery buyers to board the boat and then set sail and leave the dock.

"I don't know if I can meet killer whales today, but unfortunately I didn't come over for a long time." Feng Ping lay on the side of the boat and sighed, "Uncle, why didn't you bring Changsheng here?" ”

"He is at home with his grandfather, if you miss him, go back with me tomorrow, you stay at my house for a few days and then ask your brother-in-law to send you back."

The newly appointed brother-in-law was not used to this title, and he reacted after being patted for a while, saying: "You went to live with Changsheng, and if you want to come back, I will send you back." ”

"Forget it, I'm going to burn a fire and sell bread." Feng Ping shook his head.

A flock of seabirds flew by, leaving a brief shadow on the board, the sea beads crushed a piece of cake and scattered it, the fish downstream on the surface of the sea grabbed food, the birds were alarmed by the sound of the water, and one by one the birds flew down like arrows, their white feathers skimmed the water, and then flew up, holding the struggling sea fish on the tips of their claws.

The deeper you go into the sea, the more blue the water becomes, and on the way, you will encounter fishing boats that cast their nets, and the nets are thrown into the sea, and the water bubbles in the mesh shimmer in the sunlight.

The sea is as wide as the sky, the blue water, the hovering seabirds, the swarthy fishermen, the fishing boats swaying with the waves, the sky and the earth are connected at the end of the sea, people stand in the hunting sea breeze, and the bird calls and human voices become blurred and long.

Eating was placed on the board, and the old and young had no politeness and greetings, and sat leisurely on the board, or leaned on the side of the boat to throw cakes and feed the birds, and sat together in twos and threes, and then let out loud laughter.

Han Ji touched Haizhu's hand, he leaned sideways to block the sight of others, he had calluses on his hands, and her hands were not soft, but the two hands were held together but they were very compatible, which made people feel at ease.

"Look, killer whales!" Qi Lao San shouted.

The blue sea exposed a black dorsal fin, the dorsal fin cut through the sea water closer and closer, three killer whales jumped out of the sea one after another, head and tail downturned, like three rounds of crescent moon into the sea, Haizhu saw healing scars near the pectoral fin of one of them.

"This is the killer whale that came to us for help, and its injuries are healed." Haizhu smiled and beckoned, "Big guy, do you still know me?" I thought you had sailed away. ”
