Chapter 38: Have you heard the story of the White Snake?

The sea is vast, and the sea is still the sea as far as the eye can see.

At first, Song Qian and the others would be curious and interesting, and Song Qian would even fly and step on the sea to float on the water a few times.

But after a long time, after staying at sea for more than ten days in a row, not to mention Song Qian, a girl who can't bear her temperament, even Song Xuan feels a little boring.

On this day, the ship docked at a Haikou wharf, where it needed to stay for two days to replenish some food and fresh water and take a temporary rest.

Song Xuan couldn't resist Song Qian's pleading, so he led her and her little cousin Lin Daiyu off the boat, ready to take a stroll in the town around the dock.

Before getting off the boat, Song Xuan casually asked Lin Pingzhi if he wanted to go shopping together.

Lin Pingzhi refused, as the owner of the ship, he needed to stay on the ship with the dart masters to guard the goods, so he did not follow.

"Xiao Linzi, you are not very old, but you are quite serious in your work!" When she got off the boat, Song Qian gave a word of approval.

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his face turned red like a big girl, which made Song Qian laugh for a while.

.....

Not far from the marina, there is a village.

A few people came to this place after strolling, and from a distance, they saw that the village was beating gongs and drums and blowing suona, which looked quite lively.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Song Xuan asked casually.

"Go, go, go!" Song Qian is a person who loves to join in the fun, and immediately wanted to go in.

Lin Daiyu said softly: "I have no opinion, cousin can just look at the arrangement." ”

Song Xuan glanced at her with a smile, and looked at Lin Daiyu a little inexplicably, "Cousin, what do you think I do?" ”

Song Xuan said with a smile: "Listening to the people of Rongguo Mansion, Miss Lin in the mansion talks like a knife, and no one wants to take advantage of it."

Sure enough, my cousin didn't look like a strong person. ”

Lin Daiyu smiled bitterly, "If I don't want to be stronger, how can I live with dignity in a high-ranking family like Jiafu?"

If the years can be quiet, who wants to quarrel with them? ”

"That's ...... too"

Song Xuan nodded, and a few people came to the entrance of the village while talking, and when they saw a few people coming, a few old men in the village walked up quickly.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that Song Xuan and the three of them were dressed in a lot of clothes and had extraordinary identities, several old men did not dare to slack off, and one of them asked a little stiffly: "I don't know where a few distinguished guests come from?" ”

Song Xuan bowed, "I came from the imperial capital, and I saw some excitement here on the way, so I came over to take a look." Uncle, what is the joy in the village? ”

"Haha, it turned out to be a distinguished guest from the imperial capital."

The old man smiled very heartily, and the wrinkles on his face looked a little less, "Today is the day of Xiao'er's wedding, can a few distinguished guests come into the village to eat some wine?" ”

"It won't bother you, will it?"

"No, no, no!"

Song Xuan groaned for a while, then hugged his fists and said, "Then it's bothering, I'll go in and be happy." ”

Following the old man into the village, he was led into a somewhat dilapidated but very clean courtyard, where seven or eight tables of banquets were set up, and many guests were already seated.

The three of them were led to the main seat by the old man, and after Song Xuan and a few people took their seats, they saw it. The bridegroom and the bride were worshipping heaven and earth, and the sound of firecrackers and musical instruments sounded at the same time, although it was a little noisy, but it was very festive.

After worshipping heaven and earth, people began to serve food and wine.

The wine is the rice wine brewed in the village, and the dishes are not rich, most of them are common green vegetables, only the last plate of elbows is considered a hard dish, and as soon as it is served, it is divided by the people at the same table.

Song Xuan inspected it covertly, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, he glanced at Song Qian and the others, signaling that the two of them could eat.

After eating for a while, the two newlyweds went back to their rooms to change their clothes, and under the guidance of the old man, began to toast with the guests present.

Speaking of which, the folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are relatively open, except for the rules of large households, there is not much attention to the marriage of ordinary villagers.

After worshipping heaven and earth, the bride does not have to stay in the room all the time and does not come out, but can follow her husband's family to toast.

Song Xuan and the three of them were distinguished guests from the imperial capital, and after the two newcomers had saluted the village elders, they came to toast them.

The groom is a good-looking and sturdy peasant man, the bride's skin is not fair enough, but her facial features are upright and delicate, and both of them are looking at Song Xuan expectantly at this moment.

The father of the groom, the old man rubbed his hands a little worriedly, "Honorable guest, can you say some words of blessing to the child?" ”

After a glass of wine, Song Xuan said with a smile: "Ten years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, a hundred years of cultivation can be slept together, and the vast sea of people meets each other, which is a marriage of thousands of years."

I wish the two white-headed old together and forever married! ”

"Good!"

Among the guests, some people applauded and cheered, and they didn't know what was good, but this was a blessing from the nobles from the imperial capital, and it must be good.

The old man couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked Song Xuan again and again, and such simple folk customs made him a little embarrassed.

When it was getting late, Song Xuanwan refused the old man's kindness to stay overnight, and after saying goodbye to a couple of newcomers, he walked towards the county seat more than ten miles away.

In the evening, I found an inn in the county, and after a simple dinner, I booked two upper rooms and went back to rest.

Lin Daiyu and Song Qian lived in the same room, and they couldn't sleep after tossing and turning all night, which made Song Qian a little impatient and flicked it on her head.

"You little girl, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you thinking?"

Lin Daiyu didn't feel tired at all, her eyes looked bright in the night, "Cousin, I have lived in Rongguo Mansion since I was a child, and this is the first time I have stayed in an inn outside, so I am a little nervous. ”

"Nervous about what?" Song Qian yawned, "What's the matter, I'm worried that a flower thief will come in and ruin your body?" ”

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Daiyu, "With your little arms and legs, even if the flower thief has an idea, he has to come to me first, right?" ”

As she spoke, she straightened her chest and seemed quite proud.

Lin Daiyu didn't know what to say, looking at her cousin's face, it seemed that she was still looking forward to a flower thief breaking in.

Sometimes she feels that her cousin's brain circuit is too peculiar, and many times, she doesn't know what her cousin is thinking.

"Cousin, what did my cousin say today that he could cross the same boat in ten years and sleep together in a hundred years?"

This night, Lin Daiyu has been savoring this sentence, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that this sentence is very meaningful.

It's hard to imagine that this kind of words with a bit of the artistic conception of cause and effect reincarnation actually came from the mouth of a martial artist like my cousin.

"I heard this from my brother when I was a child."

Song Qian recalled, "This seems to be a story told by my brother, called the Legend of the White Snake, have you heard this story?" ”

Lin Daiyu shook her head.

Seeing this, Song Qian suddenly had a sense of superiority, "They all say that you are a talented woman, it seems that you don't read enough books."

Let me tell you, this story starts from the distant Qingcheng Mountain......"
