“…… Then Dongzhu and a few of them walked in front with cats, and the two turtles let people take the lead? Shen Sui said.

"Okay, that's what I thought." Qi Laosan glanced into the house, Han Ji had already come out with Haizhu in his arms, and he continued: "Our family is at the end, and the dowry is used in the boat, so as not to miss something." ”

Shen Sui nodded, "Han Ji arranged for me to be responsible for receiving you, and I will also stay at the end, you call me if you have something."

"Great joy and great joy-" The parrot rushed out of the house and hovered over the yard, It looked down on the people in the yard, Seeing Han Ji pick up Haizhu and walk out, it said excitedly: "Give way, give way." ”

Han Ji smiled when he heard this, he took the person in his arms and strode along the way to the door, outside the door, a white horse with a red ribbon and a red saddle turned its head to look into the house, the person came out, and it stared at the bird that shouted "great joy" again.

Han Ji turned people upside down, one lifted Haizhu to sit in the saddle, and the Xi mother-in-law on the other side smiled and cleaned up Haizhu's skirt, saying festive words in her mouth.

The joyful gongs and drums played, Han Ji's cousins raised their arms and scattered red seals, the joyful fruits and cakes and sweeteners spread and fell like rain, the people in the alley shouted and stretched out their hands to catch the red seals, A short and flexible person squatted directly on the ground, the smile on his face couldn't hold back, and he laughed happily and loudly.

The lively atmosphere reached a climax, Han Ji's cousin saw that the time had come, he signaled to Han Ji, Han Ji took the reins of the horse and left the alley in the noisy gong and drum noise, and he fulfilled the promise to lead the horse in Haizhu.

"Great joy—"

Haizhu vaguely heard a little sound, she raised her hand to let the bird come down, the suona sounded, and the sound of people's speech became a buzzing sound, even if it shouted its throat, it couldn't suppress the suona.

The bird landed on the horse's ass and coughed a few times, and now it was full of excitement, and despite its dry and aching throat, it spread its wings and shouted loudly to those who watched it laugh.

The four Dongzhu sisters and brothers walked behind, they held the cat, the four cats ran in the alley all day long, jumping around the town, and they were not afraid to see so many people, and they stayed quietly in people's arms.

Behind the people are two turtles tied with red ribbons, their shells are crowned with flowers, and the people who sprinkle the red seals also pay attention to the two of them, and the red seals with copper plates are inserted on the red ribbons.

Han Ji led the horse on the flower path he built with his own hands, the ground was paved with the petals of the shaking tree, a gust of wind blew, the petals floated up, and they rose into the air, turning and falling, and people walked into the sea of flowers.

"It's beautiful!" The noisy crowd was silent for a moment.

Haizhu raised her head, stretched out her hand to take a triangular plum, and the skirt spread on the horse's back was also decorated with bright petals, and the petals slid down the smooth brocade under the horse's hooves moving again and again.

Han Ji glanced back, silently thinking in his heart that there would be another gust of wind, the wind did not rise, standing on both sides of the road to watch the lively women and children squatting down to pick up flowers, running and jumping and raising their arms to scatter the petals, the petals rose into the air and danced, in the sound of gongs and drums, Han Ji released the reins of the horse and thanked the people.

The sound of gongs and drums resounded in the sky, spread across the flower road to the pier, and when the greeting team appeared at the pier, the seabirds stationed on the beach circled one after another, but they did not stay away, flapping their wings and hovering on the sea to look at the lively crowd.

The killer whale who came to explore the way probed from underwater, listening to the suona sound it couldn't help humming, it approached the big ship little by little, and saw the sea pearl boarding the ship in a blink of an eye, it chirped loudly, sprayed a column of water, and sank into the sea in an instant.

Haizhu boarded the boat with her younger siblings, a cat and a turtle, and the tall horse was taken away, and it had completed its mission. The people under the boat were divided into two lanes, the people who greeted the relatives were busy boarding the boat, and the fathers and villagers who came to the dock to see each other waved to Haizhu with excitement, and when the dowry was brought over, they hurried to help.

"Haizhu, I'm thirsty." The bird flew onto the ship with a hoarse voice.

"Come with me." Han Ji lifted his robe and went to the cabin on the second floor, picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of water and put it on the railing, seeing that the cloth on the bird's neck was in the way when he lowered his head to drink water, he reached out to tear it open, but before he touched it, the bird opened his body vigilantly, and even spread his wings to block his hand, and screamed: "Don't touch it." ”

"I'm not going to rob you." Han Ji was not angry, retracted his hand and said, "You drink, I won't touch you." Mingzhu, your voice will be hoarse again tomorrow. ”

The bird doesn't care, anyway, there is a sea pearl to steam apples for it, and it will be fine in two days.

The bird drank the water, and Han Ji took out a fingertip-sized bird-shaped money bag from his sleeve, "For you, do you want it?" ”

"Silver?" Birds are eager to try.

"Gold, in a money bag."

The bird immediately stretched out its neck and signaled him to hang it up, it already had an opinion, Dongzhu and Fengping opened the door to receive happy money, even four cats and two turtles also had it, the person who sent the happy money seemed to be blind, it was in front of Haizhu's eyes, Haizhu still had its feathers on his head, and the person just didn't give it happy money.

The money bag hung down in front of his neck, and the bird chirped happily, smacked two mouthfuls of water, and tried to say in a clear voice: "Great joy, great joy, I wish you all white heads and old age." ”

Han Ji smiled and brushed the bird feathers, and walked down the stairs to accompany Haizhu, she was dressed in red, wearing a gold crown, the pearl and jade jingled in the wind, and the two bird feathers were dazzling in the autumn sun.

"It's beautiful, it's what I look like in my dreams." He walked over and whispered.

Haizhu curled the corners of her mouth, and she shook the fan in her hand silently.

A few people came up from under the boat, and the man at the head said: "Look west, the last dowry will be carried out before going out, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour to complete the loading." I'm thinking about leaving the wedding boat and letting your cousins wait here, you go first, don't go back too late and miss the auspicious time. ”

"Okay." Han Ji looked at Haizhu and introduced: "This is my cousin, the cousin who likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, loves food, and compiles recipes in his spare time." ”

"I have admired the daimyo for a long time." Haizhu saluted and said: "Uncle Cousin, please make a trip for our marriage, this time come to stay for a few more days, I am also a lover of food and cooking, we discuss with each other, I have made a lot of dishes according to your recipe." ”

Han Anqing stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

"The sun is a little hot, are you going to go in the cabin?" Han Ji said to Haizhu, "It's windy when you sail the boat, and the golden crown on your head is heavy, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it in the wind." ”

Haizhu nodded, she bowed her head towards Han Anqing, turned around and walked towards the stairs, Dongzhu, Fengping, Chaoping, and Pingsheng followed behind to hold her clothes, and the two maids who were waiting also followed.

Han Ji asked people to untie the red ribbon on the turtle's back, and arranged for the people who fetched water all the way to bathe them, and when the red sail with the word "happy" was raised, the boat started, and he also followed upstairs to the cabin.

The three boats started one after another, slowly leaving the Yongning Wharf, and the people playing gongs and drums on the boat drank water to moisten their voices, and picked up musical instruments to play festive and cheerful tunes.

The group of killer whales floating under the sea surface in the distance heard the sound and identified the position, and changed its route to the east halfway, the underwater marine fish could not dodge, crashed into the killer whale, and was photographed out of the sea in an instant, before it fell, another killer whale jumped out of the water, and when it fell, the tail flicked, and the half-dead marine fish flew out again.

Killer whales from both groups came, and fish and shrimp suffered everywhere they went, and even sharks at the bottom of the sea fled as fast as dogs.

After a few sticks of incense, the killer whales caught up with the fast-moving boat, and the only sound of drums remained on board, and they approached the boat with the sound of drums, spraying water to the beat of the drums.

"Hey—what's that?" The young master of the family who came from Kyoto was looking at the sea, and they first noticed a movement in the sea, and when the killer whale surfaced, someone couldn't help but shout: "It's a water monster!" ”

The other people who heard the rumors and watched over stared at the jets of water that were spraying one after another, and the waves covered the dark shadows under the surface of the sea, and they couldn't see what it was for a while. Or often with the patrol of the ship of the soldier said: "It is estimated that it is a killer whale, not a water monster, it is a big fish in the deep sea, I know the young lady, I should have come to send her to marry." ”

The helmsman on the head boat asked people to call Han Ji and Haizhu, and the two walked out of the cabin when they heard the letter, just as the killer whales hummed their flutes to the sound of drums, and they followed the boat slowly, chirping and spraying water, which made the people on the boat exclaim.

"Hey—" Haizhu shouted.

Hearing her voice, the killer whales leaned out of the water, swam up from behind, and chirped under the head boat, and the more excited killer whales struggled to jump out of the sea, splashing and reflecting a colorful halo in the golden sunlight.

Haizhu hadn't brushed their teeth for half a month, and they hadn't seen her for half a month. Today, the sentry came and saw people and heard the sound of gongs and drums, and immediately returned to the group to inform them, and met another group of killer whales hunting outside, and they also followed.

"That's a lot of killer whales." Dongzhu exclaimed, "So much?" ”

Haizhu roughly counted, there were at least forty of them, and said: "It should be that both groups are here, Han Ji, you let people go and say something, don't stop the music on the boat, killer whales like to imitate sounds they haven't heard, let them follow them all the way to Fucheng, and come to me to Fucheng when they come back in the future." ”

Han Ji sent someone to make arrangements.

Gongs, drums, suona, flutes, pipa sounds sounded one after another, at first it was just a single person, in the afternoon, the killer whales learned the sound, when the suona sounded, they played the "Welcome Tune" in the sea. The blower didn't feel tired anymore, and sat at the stern of the boat with his cheeks puffed out to meet the whales, while lowering his voice and making the killer whale blower the protagonist.

The song "Welcome Tune" came to an end, and the killer whales let out excited cheers, and then left for the most part, and about an hour later, the killer whales that went to hunt came back, and brought back the manta rays to the killer whales left behind.

The parrot was holding on to the railing and looking down, the killer whales were feeding, they were quiet, and there was only the sound of drums in the sea, and it came to the sea and said, "The fish can't talk." ”

Haizhu couldn't figure out what it meant, nodded and said, "Well, they're called killer whales." ”

"Birds can talk."

The meaning is self-evident, Han Ji almost burst out laughing, and said, "Yes, killer whales are not as good as you can speak." ”

The parrot was satisfied, it chirped a few times, landed on the railing and snorted melon seeds, and continued to stare at the dark shadow in the sea.

Not only it, but four cats were also guarding the stern, and they meowed at the smell of the fishy smell of the sea, and if they could swim, they would have jumped off the boat.

Only two turtles were half frightened to death, hiding in the corner under the wooden ladder and not daring to show their faces at all, and the fresh fish sent to them had no appetite to eat.

The blower blew the "Lifting the Flower Sedan Chair", and the killer whales came to the spirit, and they swam around the boat, quietly following the learning. In the evening, a new tune was learned, and the hands played a tune, and they were half raised to the surface and played in unison.

The boat passed by the wharf of Fucheng and turned to the island, the wharf on the island was already full of people, and there was a sedan chair next to the grass pavilion, and the sedan chair bearer was waiting on the side.

The happy boat anchored, fell down the wooden ladder, Han Ji helped Haizhu to get off the boat, did not wait for anyone to land, the gongs and drums sounded in unison, the sound of suona, pipa, and flute rose in response, and the blowing was "Lifting the Flower Sedan Chair".

The group of killer whales in the distance is out of the water, looking at the island and making a suona sound, the sound of the killer whales is long and ethereal, medium and full, forty or fifty killer whales are singing in unison, Haizhu sits in the sedan chair and feels that she is not going to worship the church, but more like she is going to become an immortal.

When the greetering party left the dock, the music was gone, and the killer whales were silent, and the two groups dispersed, each going to hunt the sharks that lived in the waters.

When Han Ji and Haizhu worshipped, the sharks on the bottom of the sea fled with their families, the manta rays were raided, and the fish and shrimp that were not on the killer whale recipe followed the killer whale's tail to pick up leaks and taste the deliciousness.

When it was dark, the boat to deliver the dowry arrived at the dock, and the Han family, who had been waiting here, picked up Grandma Qi and Qin Jingniang and their party to have a wedding banquet.

The lights in the general's palace covered the light of the moonlight, and the house was very lively, and the sound of laughter mixed with the sound of persuasion and drinking, along with the smell of food, climbed over the wall and scattered into the streets and alleys.

Han Ji left with a smell of wine, he first went to the side courtyard to wash off the smell of wine, changed out of his wedding dress and walked into the main courtyard in a crimson regular dress, the four Dongzhu sisters and brothers had already left, there was still talking in the house, and the shadows of people and birds were reflected in the window paper.

Han Ji coughed, waved away the maid and pushed the door in, and asked when he entered the door, "Have you eaten?" ”

Haizhu sat under the lamp and looked over, and quickly looked away from the man's hot gaze, and her chest began to throb again.

"It's dark." The parrot reminded aloud.

"Well, you go out." Han Ji didn't have the heart to talk to the bird, he grabbed the bird and walked out of the door, saying, "I have to talk with Haizhu all night, don't sleep here, you talk in your sleep at night, I'm worried that I will hear your secret." ”

The bird listened to the persuasion, and it flew away, and went around the house, hiding everywhere to listen to the whispers of people, and hiding in the dark to watch people drink, until the wedding feast was over, and then it left without finishing its mind.

"Where do the birds sleep?" It said to itself, "The bird goes and asks Haizhu." ”

The parrot flew straight to the main courtyard, bypassing the maid carrying the lantern and falling into the courtyard, and then flew under the eaves, the door was closed, and it landed outside the window, and when it heard the unbearable sound in the house, it shook its fur uncomfortably, and shouted: "Haizhu? ”

The two people in the room were silent, Han Ji gritted his teeth, he covered Haizhu's mouth with his hand, and whispered, "Leave it alone." ”

"Haizhu? Han Ji? The bird stuck to the window paper, and just when it couldn't help but peck at the window paper, the maid outside the door came quickly, she grabbed the bird, and said, "There is no one in the house, and the young master and the young lady have gone out of the house to play." ”

"Don't lie to the birds." It heard it.

Chapter 231: Shameless

In the middle of the night, I went to bed at three watches, and there was movement in the house before dawn, and the dragon and phoenix candles burning on the candlestick jumped, and there was no wind automatically. It wasn't until a man came out of the tent that the flickering flame stabilized, and the shadowy shadows on the window paper disappeared.

Haizhu came out of the clean room with dirty clothes, and a bamboo mat was laid on the big red mattress, and she climbed up with her legs limp, and lifted the thin quilt on her body, closed her eyes, and said, "The sky is already blue, and you will wake me up in another hour." ”

"Okay." Han Ji lay down with his head, he lay on his side and looked at the person next to the pillow, and the corners of his mouth hooked up when he looked at it.

"Annoying." Haizhu couldn't hold it back, she opened her eyes and raised her hand to cover his face and pressed it, "You're not sleepy?"

"If you don't get sleepy, if you don't ...... sleepy"

"Don't be sleepy, sleep, don't look at me again." Haizhu pulled off his claws and added, "Don't be next to me, wake me up in an hour, I'm sleepy." ”

"Okay, you sleep." Han Ji was in order, and he also closed his eyes to recuperate.

Haizhu lay down again, she pulled up the quilt to cover her face, after falling asleep, Han Ji pulled down the corner of the quilt covering her face, lay flat in a regular manner, opened her eyes and sketched the pattern on the gauze tent in her mind, after looking at it for a long time, her brain was empty, and she gradually fell asleep.

At this time it was already dark, and the movement of the maid cleaning the courtyard woke up the parrot in the birdcage, which had been sent to the side courtyard last night, and the birdcage was hung under the eaves.

"Sister Begonia, the parrot has woken up." A little maid shouted.

Begonia glanced at the bird vigilantly, in case it flew away again to make it easy for her to find, she first scooped a plate of fried pine nuts, which is the bird's favorite food, and then poured a bowl of cold boiled water and put it in the bird cage.

"You eat first, and when the young lady wakes up, she will come to pick you up. She's sleeping now, so don't you bother her, okay? Begonia discussed softly.

The bird smacked a few mouthfuls of water, and it felt its throat blocked, and the bird's beak opened, and it hissed: "Steamed apples for the bird." ”

"Dumb again? Okay, I'll go steam apples for you, and you'll wait for me in the cage. Begonia left quickly, telling the little maid in the yard to watch the bird and not let it go to the main courtyard.

The parrot stared at the begonia and walked away, it hummed disdainfully, glanced at the little maid sweeping the floor in the yard, and it lowered its head and honestly swallowed pine nuts.

"Xiaohuan, Xiaolu, you come with me, the ground in the front yard needs to be cleaned, there are not enough people, you two go over and help." A big girl walked in.
