The rise of the poor

Chapter 465

Not long after noon, the fleet set sail again. There were many hidden reefs along the coast, and the fleet made a bend toward the depths of the sea, bypassing the hidden reefs in this area.

Our journey is the sea of ​​stars...

Seeing the sea boat sailing into the deep blue sea with the wind and waves, this line flashed in Zhu Pingan's mind for some reason.

Talking about "Zhu Xian" during the day, tasting all kinds of delicacies carefully prepared by the chef of the Li family in different ways, and occasionally bickering with the black-bellied Li Shu, the leisurely days passed by so slowly.

This afternoon, the pattern of blue sky and blue sea was finally broken. A few dark clouds floated from the sky, slowly covering the sun. Shaoqing's clouds floated past and exposed the sun. The dark clouds seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with the sun, and gradually It's also addictive.

The color of the sky gradually changed from dark blue to light gray, and the sun became increasingly dimmer.

The wind also gradually picked up
Zhu Ping'an was lying on the bow of the boat with a plate, eating fried squid snacks made by Chef Li's family, while the sea breeze was blowing slowly, his eyes were on the place where the sea and the sky met, and his thoughts gradually drifted to Xiahe Village.

The dull and generous father, the pungent and careful mother, and the elder brother
homesick.
When Zhu Pingan was blowing the sea breeze at the bow, Li Shu was dressing up the luxurious boudoir of the cabin, clumsily embroidering the mandarin duck pillowcase, holding the embroidery needle in her slender hand, and embroidering seriously, but not every effort is equal. reciprocated.

There was a pair of cute mandarin ducks in front of Li Shu, but there were still two fat ducks on the pillowcase under her hand
"Miss, it's getting dark, take a rest." The little maid of Baozi watched her lady embroidering in the dim cabin, feeling very distressed.

"It's getting dark, I said why I can't see clearly."

After hearing what the little maid of Baozi said, Li Shu stopped the line in her hand, looked outside the window and pouted with a sudden realization.

"Yes miss." Baozi's little maid nodded vigorously.

"Then go and hold the lantern painting, hurry up." Li Shu urged.

"But Miss, please rest, you haven't had a good rest for several days." Baozi's little maid's eyes were red, "Going to the kitchen so early in the morning, and embroidery during lunch break, we can't stand it even if we are hardcore Miss."

"There's so much nonsense, why don't you hurry up and hold the lamp." Li Shu said coquettishly, and raised the embroidery needle in her hand, "If you talk too much, I'll embroider a little bastard on your face."

"Miss~~" Baozi's little maid looked at Li Shu aggrievedly, covering her small face, remembering the years when the lady painted bastards on her face, and after being glared at by Li Shu, she dally went to hold the lamp.

Baozi's little maid brought a wooden octagonal palace lantern inlaid with jade, opened the lampshade, blew on the torch and ignited the wick, then put the lampshade on the table in front of Li Shu, and the room lit up instantly. , Li Shu nodded in satisfaction, and then began to embroider again.

"Miss, we have so many embroiderers in our house, it would be nice to let them embroider, miss, otherwise we would be raising them for nothing." The little maid of Baozi pursed her mouth.

"What do you know? This is a pillowcase for getting married. Of course, you have to embroider it yourself." Li Shu rolled her eyes, and then went on to embroider her own mandarin duck (fat duck). The embroidery was all done stitch by stitch. , I don't want the stinky toad to smell the smell left by other women while sleeping, not even the embroidered mother's!

"Let's rest for a while, miss, you haven't rested for a long time." Baozi's little maid has always wanted Li Shu to rest for a while. My lady woke up early today and hasn't rested yet. It hurts in her eyes. .

"Daddy and Zhu Ping'an's family have already set a good date. It's not like you don't know how tight the time is. Zhu Ping'an's family is in a hurry. This time I go back in time." Li Shuqiao blushed when she said this. , there was complaint in her voice, but her dark eyes were shining brightly, full of longing for her little daughter's family.

"Yes, the master has sent a letter." Baozi's little maid also blushed, the lady only arranged for her a dowry girl to be the housekeeper.

"Miss, the letter from my uncle's family to our house has not been shown to my uncle yet." The little maid of Baozi reminded.

"Oh, I put that letter away and didn't know where to put it. I didn't find it when I came here. Anyway, he will know when he gets home, so there is no need to tell him." Li Shu was immersed in the sea of ​​embroidery, slightly Shaking his head, the needle in his hand led the colorful thread through the pillowcase, and the fat duck on it became more and more colorful.

Hmm, the little maid of Baozi nodded, holding her cheeks and watching her lady embroider.

When the master sent the letter, my uncle was not on vacation at that time, and the letter from my uncle's family to my uncle was also sent by people in the house.The letter is about the marriage between the young lady and the uncle. It seems that Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen have found many fortune tellers at home. It's expensive, it is said that the sooner you get married, the better for my son-in-law.

Among them, a well-known Taoist priest looked at the birthday horoscopes of the young lady and the uncle, and said that the young lady was the appearance of a flying phoenix, and that the uncle was originally the appearance of a koi carp, but when he met the young lady, he was the appearance of a transformed dragon, and the carp jumped over the dragon gate. Hualong, it is said that it is a good marriage from the eighth generation.This Taoist priest is the most famous Taoist priest in the entire Anqing Mansion, and he only divination once a month. If he hadn't happened to pass by Xiahe Village and borrowed some water from Zhu Ping'an's house, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen would not have had the opportunity to ask someone to divination.

This is the Taoist priest who said that he wanted to get married before May. He said that when the weather warmed up in April and the river fish flowed against the current, it was the day when carp leaped over the Dragon Gate.It is also said that May is an evil month. In May, five kinds of poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos, and toads are rampant, and ghosts and ghosts are also very active, releasing poisonous gas and spreading plagues. The overall environment is not conducive to carp leaping over the dragon's gate.

It is also said that May is the day when the "fetal god" patrols the world. The fetal god is in charge of conceiving babies until they are born safely. In May, the fetal god will stay on the bed of every family. God would not have given healthy and smart babies.

The Taoist calculated that the auspicious day of the zodiac is April 28, avoiding the opposing sun of the birthdays of the young lady and the uncle, and calculated the most suitable day for this year.

Other hexagram masters also said that May is a bad month and it is not suitable for marriage.

Anyway, the hexagram master Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Chen found, the temples and Taoist temples she went to, and the birthday horoscopes were shown to people, and they all said that they would get married before May.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Chen urged her to go back and get married, and the date was set on April 28.I heard that my uncle's house is ready, the new house is also tidied up, everything is ready, and even relatives have been notified.

The master arranged to go back by boat just in time, and there are still a few days to spare when we get home.
