When he arrived at the restaurant, Haizhu found that Shen Huai was also there, and when he saw someone coming over to greet Yao Qingman, he explained that his father and mother were busy at home, and he treated her slowly and asked her to forgive him.

Grandma Qi pouted, went back in the evening and told Haizhu that Shen Sui and his father were too mean, and the marriage should be over, and she didn't show up, and let the matchmaker run the whole process, and the relatives on the woman's side felt faceless and angry and didn't show up. Now that the daughter-in-law is here, when she walks to the door, she sends a second uncle to receive her.

"It's still a person who is literate and pays attention to etiquette, and it's not as good as me, a country woman who doesn't know a single word, it's too bullying, it's like getting married, it's completely going to make enemies." Grandma Qi smacked her lips, "Fortunately, your in-laws' family is not so virtuous, otherwise I won't let you marry no matter how good a person is." ”

"Say it to others, talk about others, what do you mention me?" Haizhu got up and went into the house to sleep, "Sleep, sleep, you love me, don't fight for others." ”

When the weather is clear, Haizhu and Qi Laosan continue to go to sea, and every day when the boat is collected, she will pick up a fish or carry two or three catties of octopus to send to the next door. When the octopus estrus season came, there were dead octopuses floating on the sea, and she and Qi Laosan carried a net to stand at the bow and stern of the boat and scoop it, and they could pick up two large barrels all the way back.

Dead octopus is boiled with salt and spread on the bamboo mat, air-dried overnight, and then sun-dried for a day, and then dried in the evening, and then steamed soft and then dried, two days can harvest twenty or thirty catties of dried octopus, and the tank will be full in ten days. When Haizhu and Qi Laosan go to sea, they will also pack a bag and take them away, and they will be hungry to eat when they are picking bird's nests.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Han Ji came, and when he arrived, Haizhu was about to go to sea.

"Third uncle, you are resting today, and I will accompany Haizhu to go fishing at sea." He grabbed his clothes and jumped onto the boat.

Qi Laosan subconsciously looked at Haizhu, she nodded and he got off the boat.

The boat left the dock, and the people on the shore patted the third child and said, "Who is older between you and the young general?" ”

"I'm a year older than him." Qi Laosan understood what they meant, and he spread his hands proudly, "No way, but I didn't force him to shout." ”

"Third child, are you going to sea?" Bolt his eldest brother asked.

"I don't go to sea, my boat is rented."

"Come with us, you're missing the bolt."

Qi Laosan hesitated for a moment, but still refused, he was only relieved of Haizhu, and he only dared to put his life in her hands.

The tide was low, the boats on the pier were racing to leave, Qi Laosan looked at the sea, and Haizhu's ship had drifted away with the wind.

Han Ji changed his clothes in the cabin, the crimson official robe was changed, and he put on a dark cyan short gown and trousers with bamboo patterns, and the hem of his clothes was full of hips, which made him appear to have long legs and narrow waist.

"I'm going to Yandao to pick bird's nests." Haizhu said.

"I'm a good climber, I'll help you." Han Ji sat down, and he told her softly what he was doing and what he had done during this time.

"Have you been to Fucheng during this time?" Seeing Haizhu shaking his head, he continued: "My mother didn't come over either, did she?" Alas, there is another war in the northwest, and the lord of the DPRK and the central government and Paiduo are estimated to have peace talks, and the old man of my family is sick and sick, and she can't get out. ”

"Sick with gas? Also, I'm angry when I put it on me. Haizhu snorted and said, "Wait for Shen Sui's marriage, I'll go to Fucheng." By the way, you will take all the bird's nests I have saved away this time, and ask a merchant ship to bring them to Kyoto and put them in your shop for consignment. ”

"How much have you saved?"

"More than two hundred pounds." Haizhu smiled, she leaned on Han Ji to reveal her wealth obsessiveness, "It should be able to sell for seven thousand taels of silver, right?" ”

Han Ji nodded stiffly, and he couldn't sell seven thousand taels to make up for it.

Floating on the sea for more than an hour, the boat retracted its sails and propped up the oars into the cliff hole, the boat did not stop, and the old turtle went into the water first to catch fish and shrimp. Haizhu went to the bottom warehouse to get tools and gave Qi Laosan's share to Han Ji to use.

Han Ji said that he was not an exaggeration to say that he was good at climbing the cliff, his legs and feet were flexible and powerful, and he also had kung fu in his body, and it was not difficult to climb to the top of the cliff with Haizhu, and he could even find a suitable foothold for her. When picking bird's nests, it is even more powerful, climbing fast, and moving neatly, Haizhu listened to the tinkling sound of iron nails and stone walls hitting each other, and panicked, and kept reminding him to move slowly.

After coming down from the top of the cliff, the two sat on the boat and looked at each other's bird's nests in each other's bamboo baskets, Han Ji laughed, he picked twice as much as the sea pearls.

"When you don't become a major general one day, you can make a fortune by picking bird's nests." Haizhu untied the iron nail insoles and asked, "How many days can you stay in Yongning?" ”

"How many days do you want me to stay?"

Haizhu looked at him with a smile, she propped the boat out of the cliff cave, and said, "Whatever you want." ”

The sound of water suddenly sounded behind the boat, and the two looked over, and the old turtle hurriedly hurried behind the boat with his neck crossed.

Haizhu patted his head and quickly cast a net to catch the turtle.

The old turtle hit Han Ji when he got on the boat, and even chased him with his mouth and bitten, Han Ji ran around the boat, he stood on the wooden ladder and laughed: "I didn't leave you behind, you bit the wrong person." ”

Haizhu was weak-hearted, she cast a net for the old turtle to catch fish to eat, remove the fish bones and chop the surimi, and waited until it was full before stopping.

Han Ji pinched the pole and used a net to catch the dead octopus on the sea surface, the sea water rolled, the clear light jumped in the sea water, and the yellow-brown octopus was wrapped in the sea water like fallen leaves.

As the sun sinks halfway to sea level, the islands in the middle of the sea come into view, the returning fishing boats are reluctant to reach the shore, and fishermen float on poles to catch dead octopuses and dead squid swept up by the tide.

A crisp whistle suddenly sounded on the sea in the distance, and those who heard it looked distractedly, and four columns of water rose on the sea, and a gray-white figure flew out of the sea, frozen in the gorgeous sunset like a hook.

Dolphins are back, happily swimming inshore and chasing the bustling boats.

Chapter 157: The Man Who Is Good at Brain Supplementation

There are people living in the house, Han Ji stayed on the boat at night, he ate at Haizhu's house and left, and met Shen Sui when he went out of the alley, the two went to the street to buy wine and meat, and went back to the boat to refill the glass.

When the bright moon was in the sky, the two of them sat on the board of the boat to blow the wind, the sea breeze was salty and wet with a faint smell of sea, Han Ji remembered that he was particularly disgusted with this fishy and salty taste when he came to Guangnan, and now he is used to smelling it, and he can swallow it without changing his face when he eats a mouthful of wind when drinking.

He saw Shen Sui drinking sip after sip of wine with a calm face, not making a noise or eating, and rushing to get drunk, Han Ji pressed the wine jug and said, "Tomorrow your house is going to be a guest, don't get drunk and embarrass yourself in front of the guests." ”

Shen then put down the wine bowl and lay on his back on the board of the boat thinking about his thoughts.

Han Ji got up and leaned on the side of the boat to look at the town, the candlelight was lit in the dim night, and the fishermen who had returned from fishing at sea were happily eating and drinking in the tavern restaurant, and the sound of laughter could be faintly heard.

"Do you want my help?" He asked.

"None." Shen Sui replied without hesitation.

Han Ji was not depressed when he heard his words, and his heart was much more relaxed, he was not good at comforting people, and he had no intention of dealing with trivial matters that had nothing to do with him.

"It's late at night, go back, lest your family look for you everywhere." Han Ji kicked him up.

Shen Sui didn't say a word and got up and got off the boat, he strode away, Han Ji went upstairs to wash, he had to get up early tomorrow to see if there were any arrangements in Haizhu.

The night was quiet, the people slept, and the lights on the shore went dark.

At high tide at night, dolphins swim to shore after the waves, lingering near the beach and leaving with the tide when the sky is bright. When people appear on the beach, they enthusiastically jump out of the sea, imitating the calls of seabirds to attract attention.

Han Ji was woken up by them, and when he couldn't sleep, he got off the boat and went to the street to buy breakfast and send it to Qingshi Lane.

"I bought the soup dumplings you like to eat, just out of the pot, come and eat them." He knocked on the door and told Haizhu to get up.

Grandma Qi called everyone else to get up and eat, and she said to Han Ji: "Today I am going to the Shen family to give gifts, and the stall selling cakes will stop for a day, and they will sleep a little more if they don't get up early." ”

"Still selling cakes?" Glimpsing Dongzhu open the door and come out, Han Ji praised: "Only Dongzhu and Fengping are two people setting up stalls? It's quite capable at a young age. ”

Dongzhu smiled, she liked to hear that.

"I'm not going to sea today, I'll go to Shen's house for dinner at noon, and I'll accompany Qingman when I come back in the afternoon." Haizhu said to him, "You also want to go to the Shen family early today, right?" ”

Han Ji waved his hand, he was too lazy to socialize, just stepped on the front of the banquet and went over, "If you don't want to go early, come with me, let's go together." ”

Haizhu glanced at him and brought chopsticks to sit down to eat.

Han Ji smiled, and he guessed that she would not agree to go with him.

After the meal, Haizhu wanted to wash her hair, she sent him out for a walk, Han Ji took Feng Ping and Chaoping away, and Grandma Qi went out and instructed: "Don't rely on your brother-in-law to buy things." ”

"If you don't buy it at this time, when will you buy it?" The neighbors in the alley laughed and ridiculed: "No matter how noble the young general is, his daughter-in-law has to please his brother-in-law before he marries." ”

"I came here yesterday and brought a lot of things to the door, and I didn't buy less." Grandma Qi smiled, "Eaten?" ”

"I'm going to eat on the street."

"Then you go over, don't delay your meal." Grandma Qi turned her toes and went to the yard next door to see Yao Qingman, a few alleys away, the man's side was lively, this side was deserted, and she couldn't catch up with Bei Niang, Bei Niang was accompanied by her mother when she got married.

The Shen family held a banquet, Haizhu only brought Dongzhu and Fengping over, she arrived not early or late, and was invited by Shen's sister-in-law to the backyard when she entered the door, and there were a lot of female guests in the backyard, Haizhu didn't know them, they knew her, and she was let sit in the first place as soon as she entered the door.

"Sister, I'm going to play with Huimin." Dongzhu pulled Fengping and ran out.

"The three of you don't look alike, but the two younger ones look more alike."

"This is Wang Shuiguan's wife." Shen's second sister-in-law introduced it.

Haizhu nodded and said, "I look like my mother, and my younger brothers and sisters look like my father." ”

She leans against the General's Mansion behind her, and she is not visible on weekdays, and her identity is the most noble in the town when it comes to social occasions, and the guests who come and go are holding her, so she doesn't have to bother to find something to say, naturally someone will hand over the talk, and she is not worried about being cold at all.

Haizhu coped with the small day without pressure, until the noon wedding banquet was over, and she excused herself to leave, and her ears calmed down.

"Haizhu, wait." Second sister-in-law Shen hurriedly went out with a burden, "You want to go back, right?" Together, I'll send something to Qingman. ”

Haizhu glanced at her stomach, stretched out her hand to support her and said, "You can be careful, I'm not in a hurry, don't run." I haven't found a chance to say in the morning, I see that you are busy with Zhang Luo, and your legs and feet have never rested, and your body can be eaten? ”

The smile on Shen's second sister-in-law's face was almost unbearable, she squeezed Haizhu's hand and sighed, and said lonely and sadly: "I didn't keep it, in the end, the fate is shallow, and I tortured and left." ”

Haizhu was silent, she didn't know what to say for a while, she now understood why Shen's second sister-in-law insisted on hiding the happy news, the more people who know, every inquiry is another cut on the wound for the mother.

Walking through the alley, she asked, "Are you ready?" Han Ji sent me a lot of medicinal herbs, you go back with me to get some nourishing recuperation. ”

"I received my wishes, but I'm already out of confinement, so it's fine." Shen's second sister-in-law "shh ”

Haizhu nodded, and stopped mentioning it.

"By the way, you told Xiaoliu what I told you before, right?"

"I haven't found a chance yet, I'll tell him when he's married."

Turning into the bluestone alley, there were many people sitting in the alley, Shen's second sister-in-law didn't say much, she had a festive smile on her face, and talked to people briskly.

When I arrived at the Han family's house, I heard Grandma Qi's voice when I entered the door, and Shen's second sister-in-law entered the door and said loudly: "Thank you, old lady, you help Qingman take care of it, tomorrow the groom will come to greet him, and he will definitely let him give you a cup of tea." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait." Grandma Qi smiled, she put down the things in her hand and walked out, saying, "You two are talking, I'll go back to see my daughter-in-law." ”

"You're a good mother-in-law." Second sister-in-law Shen sighed sincerely.

Grandma Qi didn't answer.

Haizhu stood in the courtyard looking at the flowers, and waited for Shen's second sister-in-law to leave her before entering, the house was decorated red inside and out, but the bride to be married sat at the table with a lonely face.

"What to do with a sad face? Laugh and laugh, we will get married tomorrow, what a good thing. ”

"Is it really a good thing?" Yao Qingman raised her eyes, she looked out through the door, and said blankly: "I regret it a little, I want to go home, I want to live a different life when I was on the island, and after leaving, I found that the life on the island is also very good." ”

Haizhu didn't speak, and after a while, she said half-jokingly: "Do you want to run away from marriage?" At this moment, there is a large ship moored on the beach that can send you back to the island. ”

Yao Qingman seemed to be frightened, she looked at Haizhu in a daze, she couldn't care about hanging her head anymore, she shook her head with a smile.

"I'm kidding, if I kidnap you, Shen Sui won't have to break off with me." Haizhu sat down with a chair, crossed his fingers and leaned on the table with his chin and said: "Look at it, you still don't want to leave, since you are reluctant to get married, then be happy, happily marry in the past, what is unsatisfactory to go aside first, grasp the big and let go of the small, don't think about it repeatedly." ”

"You're right." Yao Qingman nodded.

"After marriage, will you stay in Yongning or go to Fucheng with Shen Sui to live?" Haizhu asked tentatively.

"Go to live in Fucheng, this is also what Shen Sui promised my father, and he promised me to come with him."

"Your father and mother have a vision." Haizhu made no secret of her opinion.

Yao Qingman went out to fetch water and washed her face, washed away the frustration on her face, and then entered the door to cheer up and say something festive, she took out the burden sent by Shen's second sister-in-law, which was filled with all kinds of facial grease and cream, eyebrows, blush, lipstick, and Huadian, all of which were new.
