Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 157 and the ceremony
When the last red silk road in the courtyard was paved, the day for Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling to get married finally arrived.

Zhong Lisheng had seen Shi Xuanling in many different ways, but he had never seen her wearing a wedding dress.

Closing my eyes, I seem to still be able to recall the scene when I first met her, the smart girl who teased Mr. Qian on the ship, the little bell who made a huge bet of a hundred sea centipedes with him, and the one who later followed him into the clouds. Cheng was treating his mother, but instead he was ambushed and attacked by the Chinu people. The righteous girl blocked the hook for him. So many bits and pieces of scenes on Yunzhou Island were like crystal mirrors, finally swaying and freezing. In the Devil's Cry Forest, in the small stone cave, the warm embrace that held him tightly.

The smart and kind-hearted girl is as bright as the bright sun on the horizon. You can see it when you raise your head and give people warmth that goes straight to the bottom of your heart.

But the sun was hanging high in the sky, but it didn't belong to him. Even if he tried to stand on tiptoes and stretched his arms to pursue it, he still couldn't reach the tomorrow in the sky.

The sun would not fall into his arms, never would.

Zhong Lisheng quietly stepped into Shi Xuanling's new house without knowing what kind of mood he had.

Before the ceremony started, the girl was wearing a wedding dress and sitting quietly on the bed. The first time Zhong Lisheng saw her, he was suddenly shocked——

The dreamy wedding dress made of blue sea-patterned brocade exudes a soft luster, with layers of ripples rippling away. It is really like the sparkling sea under the warm sun, and sitting on the blue sea, Looking at a girl with a slender waist, her brown eyes are full of smiles, her black hair is pulled up high, her snow-skinned red lips, her whole body seems to be enveloped in a layer of soft moonlight, so beautiful, clean, and so It is breathtaking, as if there is a gentle breeze, and the four seasons are like spring. The most extreme and touching beauty in the world is gathered on her.

Shi Xuanling was quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin in her new house. Yue Wujiu was taken to the Shi family ancestral hall to offer incense for the Shi family's ancestors. The family's rules were many and complicated, and she didn't know how long they would have to deal with. She was waiting quietly. time, but did not expect Zhong Lisheng to come in quietly.

The moment she saw the handsome purple man, Shi Xuanling's eyes lit up, and she was both happy and surprised: "Little Shark, why are you here?"

"Shh!" Zhong Lisheng came back to his senses, blinked, put his hand to his lips, and smiled softly at Shi Xuanling: "I'm here to give you something."

That night when Shi Xuanling went to the posthouse to pick up her luggage, she happened to see Zhongli Sheng tinkering with something under the moonlight. At that time, she used her cloud hand to fight with him, trying to snatch the "good treasure" he had hidden, but she didn't. If she could get her wish, of course she wouldn't understand why Little Shark protected the mysterious baby.

How can the recipient of a gift be informed in advance?

"This, is this for me?"

Shi Xuanling stared blankly at the small rosewood box handed over by Zhong Lisheng. What was hidden inside was nothing else but an extremely exquisite black iron folding fan!

Yes, it is exactly the same as the one Zhongli Sheng used all year round, only it has been reduced several times. It looks exquisite and sharp, and can be used as a decoration or a hidden weapon. Every fan bone is so perfect that it is really amazing. A treasure that is hard to find in the world and worth a thousand dollars.

"How about this gift? Are you satisfied with it?"

Zhong Lisheng took out his black iron folding fan and unfolded it in front of Shi Xuanling. He said with a smile on his lips:

"It just so happens that each of us has one, one big and one small. Don't underestimate these two fans. They are made of the same material. They are both made of the same thousand-year-old black iron ink stone. That was made by my father many years ago. He used a treasure he found at sea to make a fan-shaped weapon for me, and I have carried it with me through life and death for many years, and I have never left it."

As he spoke, Zhong Lisheng stretched out his hand to rub the cool bone of the fan. This old friend had been with him for many years. To him, its meaning was no longer limited to a weapon.

"There is still a small piece of material left from the black iron ink stone back then, and my father also gave it to me. I have been thinking about what to make it into. Before I met you, I I even wanted to polish it into a box of hidden darts, but then I changed my mind because I met you."

The young man carried the small half piece of black iron and ink stone all the way from the sea to the imperial city. He polished it carefully and quietly by himself, and finally gave this special gift to her on the day she was born.

"My father has been in seclusion all year round, and my mother used to be indifferent to me. Before Wen Yanru's dead mosquito came to Yunzhou Island, I didn't even have a fighting opponent. It was really boring to be alone. In my last When I was lonely and sad, the black iron folding fan stayed with me. It was not a cold dead thing, nor was it just a murder weapon. During my long lonely years, it was My best friend and only friend.”

Zhong Lisheng gently turned the folding fan in his hand, then took out the "miniature version" of the black iron folding fan from the rosewood box, and handed it to Shi Xuanling. With a smile in his eyes, his tone was like this for the first time. gentle:
"Now, I made this 'little friend' with my own hands and gave it to you so that it can accompany you and protect you. You can also talk to it when you are unhappy, and your emotions may change. It can all be transmitted to me. After all, our two fans, one big and one small, are all made from the same piece of black iron ink stone. It’s not necessarily that they can sense each other? If you are in danger, I can rush there as soon as possible. How about saving you? Do you like this gift?" Under Zhong Lisheng's gaze, Shi Xuanling took the small and exquisite black iron folding fan. Something soft filled her heart, and her brown eyes were filled with excitement. A clear smile appeared.

"Of course I do, little shark, thank you for giving me your 'little friend'."

She unfolded the small dark iron folding fan and turned it a few times, imitating Zhong Lisheng's example, and the bell on her wrist also made a crisp sound.

"It's really beautiful, delicate and lovely, and it can defend itself against the enemy. I have to learn a few more fan moves from you. I see you can do it so smoothly on weekdays, not to mention how cool you are. I never thought that one day I could do it too." I have one...I want to name it, just 'Little Shark', okay?"

"Xiao Xiaosha?" Zhong Lisheng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Why do you call me such a murderous name?"

"No way, she's obviously very cute, just like you."

Zhong Lisheng looked into those sparkling eyes, suddenly feeling blessed, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "'Kill' that's not 'killing'? Don't tell me that it's 'shark' that's...'shark'?"

"Of course, you are Little Shark, and he is the little friend you gave me. Of course he is called 'Little Shark'. It sounds so nice, don't you think?"

If he had taken a sip of tea at this moment, Zhong Lisheng would definitely spit it out on the spot. He looked at Shi Xuanling with a bit of laughter and tears. The bride, who was as beautiful as a forest fairy, was sitting on the bed. As the curtains swayed, she held a small fan and smiled. With crooked eyes, she smiled lightly at him.

The boy didn't know why, but his heart started to beat wildly. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Okay, let's call it 'Little Shark'. If you like it, let it stay with you all the time..."

It was as if someone pushed behind him. By some mistake, he tightened his grip on the dark iron folding fan in his hand, and slowly stretched forward, moving closer to the small fan he gave her.

Two fans, one large and one small, made from the same piece of black iron and ink stone, exuding the same cold breath, just touched together lightly. At that moment, they seemed to be interacting with each other, and they actually trembled very slightly. , the fan bone also shone with a strange light.

"Look, they seem to know each other, there is really a connection between them!"

Shi Xuanling was overjoyed. He raised his head with bright eyes: "All things have animism. This black iron ink stone is really magical. If you encounter danger in the future, the 'little shark' next to me will definitely be able to sense it. It You can take me to find you. No matter where you are trapped, I can rush there as soon as possible to rescue you. This is really wonderful, don’t you think?"

Perhaps the pair of brown eyes were too bright, and the smile in them was so heart-warming that Zhong Lisheng was afraid to look directly at him for a moment. He quickly turned his head away and pretended to cough twice:

"Whatever danger I may encounter, I, the majestic Young Master of the Island Zhongli, will save me if I need to..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound outside, as if servants were moving many boxes of things into the courtyard, and various voices of admiration and admiration sounded outside the door——

"36 gifts for hair extensions, all of them are good things. I have lived to this age, and I have never seen such red, huge and crystal clear coral beads. One of them is bigger than my whole hand. Dragon King of the East China Sea Marrying a daughter is nothing more than that!"

"That's not true. There is also that golden jade dress. It is made entirely of gold threads and jade pieces. It is dazzling. A small piece of collar is enough for me to use for a lifetime. I have opened my eyes today and have completely grown. experience!"

"Miss Third, you are so lucky to have made such a distinguished friend on Yunzhou Island. These 36 pieces and hairpin gifts are all the work of the young island owner Zhongli! I heard that many of them are rare treasures brought from the sea. Rare treasures, if you look at the entire imperial city, no, the entire Dongmu, and count all the ladies from aristocratic families, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find such a precious hairpin gift!”

"Is there any need to count the young ladies from the aristocratic families in the imperial city one by one? Isn't it clear just by comparing them with the second young lady in our house? In the past few years, when the second young lady got hairpins, those 36 gifts were also brilliant and gorgeous. Extremely, Madam has been planning this for a whole year, and has compared all the official ladies in Shengdu City. But if the 36 hairpin-gimming gifts of the second young lady back then were compared to the hairpin-gidding gifts of the third young lady today. Than, it seems not enough..."

The group of busy servants gathered around the corridor and talked animatedly. Among them, Manager Liu, who was in charge of warehouse registration, talked the most enthusiastically. He completely failed to notice that a figure on the corridor was approaching them step by step with cold eyes. .
