Chapter 27
Jiang Chaosheng and Ji Xuanbing's wedding was on the Moon Festival, which is two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the first half month of the wedding, many gift-giving guests came to Qiongzhou one after another. After all, the journey was far away, so they arranged for someone to deliver the gifts in advance for fear of accidents on the way.
Jiang Chaosheng's half-brothers who were born in the capital, no matter how good or bad their past relationship was, all entrusted someone to send them to the wedding, but none of them actually came to the wedding, only some side members came.Jiang Chaosheng didn't care too much, as long as the money arrived, he was fine, and when people came, he, the host, had to take care to entertain him.As for his own brother, he originally wanted to come, but Jiang Chaosheng resolutely refused because of the long journey and hard work.
After all, compared to Qiongzhou, it was obvious that the big family in the capital needed his third elder brother more. His nominal sister-in-law was pregnant again, and his little nephew was only three and a half years old, which was even more unsuitable for long-distance travel.But my brother is my brother, and the gift was much more generous than others, and it was obviously more thoughtful.
The wedding progressed day by day, but Ji Xuanbing, who was counting the days every day, became a little strange. The specific manifestation was that when she went to bed at night, Ji Xuanbing didn't sleep well, and she was a little absent-minded when eating.
It is hot at the seaside, and the steaming hot food makes people sweat after eating. Raw pickled and cold dishes are relatively more popular with the locals.The two of them ate cold noodles today. The cattle in this era are basically farming cattle, and they are not usually bought and sold in the market, so most of the time they slaughtered pork, mutton and various seafood.
The cold noodles they eat are handmade noodles directly from the cook outside. The freshly rolled noodles are quite smooth and chewy. Stir-fried in hot oil, mixed with fresh shredded kelp, new slices dug out of the lotus pond, and fresh shrimp boiled in clear water, chilled in well water and mixed into noodles as toppings.
This kind of cold noodles is the most appetizing in summer. Ji Xuanbing and Jiang Chaosheng each have a large bowl in front of them. To be precise, Ji Xuanbing's bowl is even more.
Jiang Chaosheng was concentrating on eating noodles, when he saw a pair of chopsticks poking into his bowl, and picked up a pair of chopstick noodles from his noodle bowl, with two green coriander leaves attached.
When he looked up, he found that Ji Xuanbing had picked up the wrong bowl and ate the coriander salad that he usually doesn't touch!
"Don't you not like coriander?" Xiaoyuren is also picky. Of course, his favorite food is seafood. Ji Xuanbing loves all kinds of meat in human food. He can also eat some green vegetables, but only for a while. A little bit, generally speaking, it is a standard carnivore.Ji Xuanbing doesn't like all kinds of dishes with a strong smell, especially coriander. After tasting it for the first time, he would pick out all the coriander in the bowl and throw it away.
"It's coriander..." Xiaoyuren, who usually jumps when he eats coriander, looked down and chewed the green vegetable leaves expressionlessly: "It's okay, it seems that I can eat it too."
Jiang Chaosheng first touched the little shark's forehead gently, but it was still warm and cool, and his body temperature was lower than normal people's, and he didn't have a fever.He stretched out his hand to grab Ji Xuanbing's face again, and pulled it out with a little force.
Ji Xuanbing's face immediately puffed up, and finally he had a reasonable reaction: "Chaosheng...how are you dragging me!"
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the coriander in the opponent's bowl: "I'm looking to see if you have changed under your skin."
"Who?! Who has the guts to impersonate me?!" Ji Xuanbing was furious, but the next moment his eyes turned to mourning, "Could it be that Chao Sheng can't even recognize the real me? If it was me, I would definitely recognize the fake of!"
Jiang Chaosheng said: "Yes, yes, you are the most powerful. You are so powerful that you have misplaced your chopsticks."
Ji Xuanbing put down his chopsticks angrily: "Don't eat, I'm full."
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the rice bowl in front of him, there was more than half of it left, which did not meet Ji Xuanbing's normal appetite at all.Xiao Yuren slept on the couch yesterday, he was sure that the other party didn't sneak out to steal food in the middle of the night, and he woke up hungry in the morning, how could he be full after a few mouthfuls.
Jiang Chaosheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and calmed down: "What's the matter, is there any discomfort in the body, do you want to go back to the sea and ask the high priest to have a look?"
"I'm not sick!" Ji Xuanbing said excitedly, then quickly lowered her voice, and repeated softly, "I'm fine."
He knows best about his own body, he can throw his tail to the enemy's face, and he can throw the latter several kilometers away. There is no problem with the food, nor is there any problem with Engong, but he can't help being nervous and afraid.
"Chaosheng, are you really going to marry me? You won't regret it, and there will be no one else in the future?"
Jiang Chaosheng sat upright: "But who said what in front of you?"
He didn't like to see Ji Xuanbing's appearance of worrying about gains and losses, and the normally high-spirited and proud little mermaid was fine.
"No, I just had a dream. In the dream, I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore." The wedding was approaching, and the little shark who had been looking forward to it suddenly suffered from a pre-marital phobia.
He originally wanted to marry Jiang Chaosheng for the sake of a legitimate identity, but during this period of time he had learned a lot of characters and met some outsiders, so Ji Xuanbing couldn't help but feel worried.Because I care too much, I worry about gains and losses.
Jiang Chaosheng held Ji Xuanbing's hand: "It's my fault, I haven't been with you enough for this time."
He has to personally arrange the wedding, arrange the wedding room, and at the same time, he has to take care of the construction of Qiongzhou New City, the drafting of the new city order, all kinds of things add up to be quite busy, and he doesn't have much time to accompany Ji Xuanbing every day.
Most of the time when he was with Ji Xuanbing, they would hang out on the bed and accompany Xiaoyuren through the climax period.The two of them had three meals a day, and often only one breakfast was served together. He was going to the new town, while Ji Xuanbing returned to the sea through the underground passage.It sounds excusable, but the time that two people get along seriously has indeed decreased.
"No." Ji Xuanbing leaned over and snuggled into the young man's arms, "I know that Chao Sheng is working hard for the future of both of us, but I don't think I can help much."
His palace and people are in the sea, and most of the sea people are repulsive to humans.The same is true for human beings. If you reveal your identity as a mermaid in front of outsiders, you will definitely have a lot of trouble.
Although he has transformed into human legs, but the maintenance time is not very long, and the state of the climax is not stable. Sometimes, seeing Jiang Chaosheng working so hard, Ji Xuanbing will inevitably fall into a state of depression. In addition, the marriage is approaching. He was even more disappointed when everyone else was busy.
"Who said you can't help me anymore, without the money you give me, I can't do many things." Jiang Chaosheng kissed the tip of the little shark's hair, "If anyone speaks ill of you, you can just curse back, I will take care of everything. If the words are too harsh, it’s okay if you want to fight back, just take it easy and don’t beat people to death.”
After all, a war of words is not a crime of death.It's just that he thinks about the people who come into contact with Ji Xuanbing on weekdays. Most people in this city are looking forward to the two of them getting married soon. Who would dare to speak ill of the future city lord's wife.
Sure enough, Ji Xuanbing immediately said: "No one speaks ill of me, I am, I am..."
Jiang Chaosheng understood that Xiaoyuren was too nervous and suffered from pre-marital anxiety disorder. After getting married, this symptom will naturally improve and disappear.But knowing that Ji Xuanbing's condition is not good, he can't let it go.
Jiang Chaosheng suggested: "I don't have much to do today, how about we go out for a walk?"
Ji Xuanbing originally wanted to be a sensible little mermaid, even if he couldn't help him, at least he wouldn't hold him back.But when he met the gentle eyes of his future husband, he immediately forgot about his sensibility and magnanimity. This is his husband, so don't let it go to anyone. He nodded heavily: "Okay! No business, no business other people!"
Jiang Chaosheng hooked his little finger and stamped it with his thumb: "It's all up to you."
In a day, Ji Xuanbing can only maintain human legs for two hours. If a lot of sea water gets in their legs, their legs will turn back into tails. Considering this, Jiang Chaosheng personally put on the two-piece prosthetic legs for Xiaoyuren , holding Ji Xuanbing into the wheelchair.
It's not time to announce yet, and the affectionate princess is still bad in the eyes of outsiders.He pushed Ji Xuanbing outside, the wheels turned very fast, and he came to the seaside not long after. The original small dilapidated pier has already been transformed into a bustling port. Compared with that kind of large port, this The port of this small town is considered crude, but there are many people coming and going, and it looks quite lively.
He walked around with Ji Xuanbing, and the little shark who had no appetite ate three pancakes, and bought half a pot of fried chestnuts with sugar. The fine sand washed by the sea was mixed with chestnuts harvested in autumn. After a stir-fried meal, The round, fleshy fresh chestnuts are popped in the big iron pot, no need to add sugar, they all exude a sweet and attractive atmosphere.
The "beautiful princess" eats so much that the owner of the food stall frequently looks at Ji Xuanbing, how can she be so thin after eating so much?
They walked around, and the observation deck let out a cry of surprise.
"Fleet, the fleet is coming back!"
There are already ten ships in Jiang Chaosheng's territory, three of which are mainly the Jade Emperor, and the remaining seven large ships form a fleet with high combat effectiveness at sea.Half a month ago, ten ships were carrying goods from the sea, expensive fine salt, various sun-dried seafood, and a small amount of pearls.
After selling all the goods, they finally came back before Jiang Chaosheng's wedding. This time, the fleet brought nearly 2000 people. Under Ji Xuanbing's initiative, they bought slaves in batches.
