Shaojun riding the sea

"If you ask me, even if the 36 gifts given by Miss Second Miss for getting hairpins are all put together, they can't compare to the one treasure that Miss Third Miss received for getting hairpins today. It's still the generous, majestic, and powerful work of Young Island Master Zhongli. Such grandeur, Miss San is really lucky to be able to make friends with such a noble person in several lifetimes..."

"Isn't that right? I thought that the third young lady would be miserable when she was exiled to that island, but she didn't expect that she would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. She not only made friends with noble people, but also made a good marriage!"

Heng'er followed Shi Xuanqin with her head buried in the air. As she approached the group of people silently, she listened to the people's comments with fear. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the image of her own lady behind closed doors immediately appeared in front of her eyes. That look of smashing things like crazy.

It's over, it's over, the lady's 36 hairpin gifts can no longer be saved.

Heng'er's heart was racing, and she wished she could go up and cover the mouths of those meddlesome people. Just when she was frightened and uneasy, a cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears:
"Tell me, are the 36 haircut gifts my mother prepared for me really inferior to the hairpin gift that bitch received today?"

Heng'er took a shaky breath and lowered his head, not daring to answer directly. He only said vaguely: "Madam has prepared a year-long hairpin gift for the young lady. All 36 pieces are extremely precious. Her sincerity is unmatched by anyone in the world."

It's a pity that just after Heng'er finished speaking, Manager Liu who was in charge of warehouse registration said "tsk tsk" and started to comment more and more enthusiastically:
"I have a relative in my family who owns a jade shop. I am not bragging about my ability to see things. I believe you can also see it. Didn't the second lady's hairpin gift include a white ice bracelet before? It is old and tender, and the meat is delicate. , ice-clear and unadulterated, it is indeed the best jadeite, but today the third lady’s hairpin gift actually contained a blue water bracelet. It was so shocking that it made me stare straight at it! You must know that jadeite is Look at color, and secondly, look at planting water. Water and color often cannot be obtained at the same time. If you can get one of them, it is of good quality. The bracelet that the second lady had back then was really ice-cold, but it was a pity that it was white. It was not as good as the third one. The one the young lady has today is both colorful and watery. It is an authentic old ice species, so blue that there is no impurity. It is a priceless good thing. When compared with the second lady’s one, it seems a bit petty..."

Manager Liu spoke so eloquently that he didn't notice that the faces of the people around him suddenly changed, and everyone's eyes were horrified. However, he was immersed in his bragging and commenting, and continued to show off without noticing:

"I am also telling the truth. Don't tell me any more. If the news reaches the eldest lady and the second young lady, I will have no chance of survival. Anyway, a ding is a ding, and a mao is a mao. What I tell is the truth. Back then, the second lady I was also responsible for counting and registering the lady's batch of hairpin gifts. I dare to pat my chest and say that among those 36 things, none of them could compare to what the third lady brought out today. Even if they were all put together, they would not be as good as what the third lady took out at will. The same haircut ceremony..."

"is it?"

A cold voice suddenly interrupted Manager Liu's words, like a gust of wind blowing from the underworld. Manager Liu's legs trembled with fright, and his face instantly turned pale. He slowly turned around, and even his teeth began to chatter. .

"Second, Second Miss..."

That beautiful face was half exposed in the sun, but generally hidden in the shadows of the corridor. In the half-darkness, the apparently extremely beautiful facial features emitted an extremely strange chill.

"Manager Liu, don't you pride yourself on being well-informed? Why don't you have a good talk with me today about how shabby my 36 hairpin gifts are, how they can't be put on the table, and how they can't be compared to three. Miss, a hairdresser?"

-

In the new house, the elegant sandalwood fragrance lingered. Zhong Lisheng and Shi Xuanling looked at each other. They both couldn't help but look into the courtyard. For some reason, the noise in the corridor just now disappeared without a trace.

Naturally, they didn't know that it was because of Shi Xuanqin's arrival. Manager Liu, who had been talking eloquently just a moment ago, had already become mute and followed others to receive his punishment.

Shi Xuanling in her new house knew nothing about these messy things outside. She only vaguely heard the discussions of those people, and knew that Zhongli Sheng had prepared 36 extremely valuable hairpin gifts for her, and even shipped some hairpins from the sea. The rare treasures that came here surpassed all the ladies from aristocratic families in the imperial city.

She couldn't describe how she felt at this moment. She lowered her head and saw the exquisite black iron folding fan in her hand. This little friend of hers held an indescribable sense of weight in her hand.

"Little Shark, thank you. In fact, you don't need to prepare so many precious and grand hairpin gifts for me. It is the same as every birthday I have had in the past. It is just another year older. You don't need to value it so much. You can eat it. A bowl of longevity noodles is enough..."

"Stupid you!"

Before Shi Xuanling could finish speaking, Zhong Lisheng had already grasped the handle of the fan and tapped her on the forehead.

"Go and ask around, which family in Dongmu will not prepare 36 gifts for a girl who has a haircut? Even in the poorest families, parents will always find ways to give to their daughters, whether they borrow money or on credit. If you hold a decent haircut ceremony, even if you don’t have all 36 haircut gifts, you will still be able to get one or two together. No matter how bad you are, you are still an official lady, so you look down on yourself like this?"

"Besides, today is not only the day you get haircut, but also the day you...get married."

Shi Xuanling looked up at Zhongli Sheng blankly. He originally wanted to hit her again, but when the fan handle was about to fall, for some reason, he turned the fan handle around, put it directly into his sleeve, and changed it to A hand rubbed her head. The movement was gentle and slow, accompanied by a helpless sigh:

"Silly girl, just because your mother-in-law is gone, it doesn't mean you don't have a family."

Maternal family?
As soon as these three words came out, Shi Xuanling was stunned again. She and her mother were from the Qingli Mountains and from the Butterfly Clan. However, she had been living abroad for these years and had long lost contact with her tribe. She could never return to her dreaming hometown.

She really never thought that on her wedding day, she would still have her family to "support" her and give her the dignity and dignity that everyone envied.

And by coincidence, the young man in front of her is indeed inextricably linked to her. He is also half of the butterfly tribe's blood flowing in his body. Even he himself doesn't know that he is indeed half of her. "My mother's family"!

Somehow, even though her mother-in-law was no longer alive, she was still far away from the Qingli Mountains and living outside. But on her wedding day, God actually sent a "maternal family" by her side.

"Aren't those bastards from the Shi family just bullying your mother-in-law? You are helpless in the world and don't have a family? They look down on you, but I want to hold you high and call them a Everyone stretches their necks to look up at you, no matter how much they marvel at you or envy you, they can’t reach you!”

Zhong Lisheng snorted coldly, but there was clearly a hint of distress in those arrogant words. Shi Xuanling was not stupid, so she heard it clearly, and the young man's incomparable expression was reflected in her brown eyes. Serious face.

"Stupid woman, listen, there is no mother-in-law to send you off to get married, and no one from the Shi family will prepare the hairpin gift for you, but the young master will prepare it. In short, I am here for everything, so you can feel at ease and get your hairpin out of the house..." Get married and start a family.”

It was neither a long nor short sentence, but every word hit Shi Xuanling's heart. She looked up at the purple-clothed boy in front of her for a long time.

I can't tell what the ripples in my heart are at this moment. Maybe it's warmth, maybe it's touching, or even some inexplicable apology.

Yes, I'm sorry, even though she is not that familiar with love, she is a little ignorant, but she still feels from the bottom of her heart... that she owes him.He was so kind, and yet he made her feel so guilty.

It was still yesterday, and he was still the young island owner on Yunzhou Island who was teasing her in Fenglou and urging her not to marry so early. The scenes from the past seemed to reappear in front of her eyes——

"Stupid woman, don't get married so early. After you get married, the pearls will turn into fish eyes. You still have a lot of time to play with my master, eat and drink together, and enjoy the world, isn't it good?"

"I can play when I get married. Now that I'm married, can't I go eat, drink and have fun with you?"

"That's different."

"What's the difference?"

She asked so innocently at that time, but now that she has experienced the world and sailed through thousands of sails, when she looks back, it feels like she is a lifetime ago.

She finally understood that it was indeed different. Some things would never be the same the moment she put on this dreamy wedding dress and officially married Ah Yue.

Shi Xuanling suddenly looked at Zhongli Sheng, solemnly and solemnly, saying word for word: "A Sheng, you are very good, very good, very good... Thank you, thank you for everything you have prepared for me."

Her "thank you" was so solemn and meaningful that Zhong Lisheng was slightly startled. Then he understood and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Why are you so grateful? What do I mean by doing such a small thing for you? If my mother were here, I'm afraid she would have prepared twice as many items for you, a total of 72 items... It's just fate, little one. I originally prepared 36 haircut gifts for you early, but I didn’t expect that today they would be a wedding gift for you. God is really not kind to others at all."

"A Sheng, I..."

"Not to mention, you, a woman, look quite presentable in this wedding dress."

Zhong Lisheng intentionally interrupted Shi Xuanling. He touched his chin and said with a smile: "Well... I guess she is the most beautiful bride I have ever seen."

After saying that, the young man spread his hands again: "I haven't seen many brides anyway."

The deliberately teasing words indeed made the atmosphere in the room much more relaxed, and the two pairs of eyes that looked at each other for a long time showed soft smiles at the same time.

"But there is one thing that is very regrettable. My mother can no longer see you in your wedding dress and haircut. In her heart, you are just like her daughter. If she were here today, you could be your substitute. Your deceased biological mother is sitting on the banquet in the high hall, receiving bows from you and Lao Yue."

Zhong Lisheng unconsciously brought the topic to his mother, and sure enough, Shi Xuanling followed his words and said, "Yes, I miss Master too. I don't know how she is now or whether her injuries have fully recovered..."

Suddenly, the bride on the bed's eyes lit up, as if she thought of something, she raised her head and said excitedly:
"How about this. When we return to Yunzhou Island, Ayue and I will hold another marriage ceremony. Master, can't we witness it with our own eyes? There will also be Zhizhi, General Xiaoyan, Master Feng, and Chef Liu, who will bring everyone together Invite all the gang, and everyone gathers together, eating, drinking, and playing without stopping all night long, how happy it is!”

"Forget it. Whose girl got married twice? I think you just want to invite a bunch of people to eat, drink and have fun with you under the guise of getting married?"

Zhong Lisheng unceremoniously exposed Shi Xuanling. He subconsciously said: "You bad girl with no heart, please spare me. Witnessing your marriage ceremony once will cost me half of my life. If I do it again, I won't have to live." Already..."

The second half of the sentence came to an abrupt end. Zhong Lisheng slapped Xuan Tie's folding fan and quickly covered half of his face. Only then did he realize what he had just said.

It seems that he can't stay in this new house any longer. If he can control his mouth, can he control his pounding heart?

"Okay, I've also delivered the gifts. I'm going out first. You just wait here for the ceremony to start. Let's go!"

With a flick of her purple clothes, she hurriedly walked toward the door, but without paying attention, she bumped into the door frame!
"A Sheng, be careful!"

Shi Xuanling stood up suddenly, lifted the hem of her wedding dress, and took a few steps forward to support Zhong Lisheng, "Your forehead is bruised, you need to apply some medicine quickly, what's going on, your Have your eyes not fully recovered yet..."

"My eyes are fine. They have been completely healed a long time ago. I was walking without looking at the road. I deserved to be hit!"

Zhong Lisheng avoided the hand stretched out by Shi Xuanling. He used a folding fan to cover his dark forehead. He was so confused that he wanted to step out of the room, but stopped at the last step.

He took a deep breath, and for some unknown reason, by some strange coincidence, he touched his own eyes again. He turned his back to Shi Xuanling and did not move for a long time.

"Actually, if I had known that these eyes would have been cured in the first place, if I couldn't see them forever, would you have been able to be my eyes and stay by my side for the rest of my life?"

At that time in the Devil May Cry Forest, it was she who said to him personally: "I will not leave you alone. I can see everything in this world, and I will help you understand it one by one. If you really can't see it for the rest of your life, , then I...I will be your eyes."

It seemed that he made a bad deal and cured a pair of eyes, but... lost her.

The young man raised his head slightly and exhaled slowly. A large amount of sadness suddenly filled his heart. He closed his eyes and his tone was filled with bottomless sadness:
"Stupid woman, if I can't see you all the time, can you fulfill your promise, be my eyes, take me through spring, autumn, winter and summer, see all the scenery of the four seasons, stay with me forever, and never leave, right? "
