Chapter 30: Early Birth of Takako
"Rong'er, Dad just checked it out. Next month's third day will be a rare good day. You and Cheng'er are ready, and we will go back to Taohua Island tomorrow."
After Huang Yaoshi finished speaking, he ignored Huang Rong who was shy and unable to speak, and turned to Hong Qigong beside him, "Old beggar, since you are the matchmaker invited by Cheng'er and Rong'er, let's go back to Taohua Island with us tomorrow!"
“Haha~”
Hong Qigong smiled and said, "The old beggar likes to drink wedding wine the most, so the old beggar will bother you."
...
The next morning, Ximen Cheng and his group set off for Peach Blossom Island, and even Lu Chengfeng was about to set off to return to Peach Blossom Island.
After all, Lu Chengfeng has now returned to Huang Yaoshi. As Huang Rong's senior brother, he knew that Huang Rong was going to get married on the third day of next month, so how could he not go to congratulate him?
However, Lu Chengfeng had inconvenient feet and was unable to ride a horse, and he also had to prepare a batch of heavy wedding gifts for Huang Rong, so he did not follow Ximen Cheng and the others, but took his servants and gifts to Taohua Island in a carriage.
After the four of them rode to Zhoushan, taking advantage of the opportunity when Huang Yaoshi went to prepare the ship, Ximen Cheng took Huang Rong to the largest jewelry store in the city and asked her to select a batch of gold and silver jewelry she liked.
Although Huang Rong doesn’t like to wear gold and silver jewelry, Ximen Cheng is about to marry her, so he still needs to prepare an extra generous betrothal gift. You can’t really go to propose marriage empty-handed!
After selecting gold and silver jewelry, Ximen Cheng specially hired a professional matchmaker from the city as a guide, asking her to take her and Huang Rong to the market for a walk, and purchased all the things needed for the wedding.
I have to say that there were too many things to prepare for marriage in ancient times. Ximen Cheng and Huang Rong spent most of their time shopping around the city for half a day before they purchased the essentials for marriage.
In addition to various gold and silver jewelry, you also need to prepare good silk, sheep, pig, candle, incense and cannon, cakes, combo flower pots (meaning the ancient sign of the birth of noble sons), pomegranate flowers, etc. (Pomegranate flowers are meant to have many sons).
In order not to make Huang Rong feel regretful in the future, when Ximen Cheng purchased these things, he purchased them according to the highest specifications. The total number of gifts was thirty-six boxes, which cost him more than 5,000 taels of silver.
Fortunately, after Ximen Cheng killed Peng Lianhu and others before, he did not forget to collect spoils from them. He collected tens of thousands of taels of silver bills alone, and he did not encounter any embarrassing news that he did not have enough money.
Originally, when Huang Yaoshi saw Ximen Cheng and the others reluctantly returned, he thought they had forgotten time again. However, he didn't expect that Ximen Cheng would take Huang Rong to buy these things. He became more and more satisfied with Ximen Cheng, his son-in-law.
Judging from Huang Yaoshi's identity and status, although the things prepared by Ximen Cheng are not considered valuable gifts, his intention is the most expensive, and Huang Yaoshi is also at ease to marry his daughter to him.
After Ximen Cheng asked someone to bring all the purchased items onto the large ship prepared by Huang Yaoshi, everyone took a boat to sea and rushed towards Taohua Island.
"Crazy..."
Under the skillful control of the boatmen, the big ship is like a flexible big fish, riding the wind and waves on the sea and advancing rapidly.
“Huhhhh…”
Standing on the deck of the big ship and feeling the oncoming sea breeze, Ximen Cheng asked Huang Rong to spread her arms, while she stood behind her, holding her slim waist with her hands, and posing the classic movements in "Titanic".
Huang Yaoshi, standing on the second floor of the cabin, looked at the intimate posture of the two little ones, and couldn't help but smile on his expressionless face.
If it were the past, Huang Yaoshi would definitely break his leg when he saw someone who dared to take advantage of his baby's daughter like this.
However, when Huang Yaoshi saw this scene, he was thinking that his son-in-law and his daughter were so close that he would be able to hold his grandson in less than two years. He would be happy to think about it.
After the big ship sailed near Peach Blossom Island, before he arrived at Peach Blossom Island, Ximen Cheng had already smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms. From a distance, the island was lush, green, red, yellow, and purple, with flowers blooming.
Huang Rong leaned obediently in Ximen Cheng's arms, pointed to the Peach Blossom Island that was getting closer and closer and asked, "Brother Cheng, is the scenery here beautiful?"
"Good! I have been traveling in the world for so many years, but I haven't seen many places with a view that is better than here."
When Huang Rong heard this, she said with a proud look: "Of course, although Dad's martial arts cannot be called the best in the world, his ability to plant flowers is unparalleled. Even Wang Chongyang cannot compare to Dad in this regard."
"Rong'er is right, her father-in-law is the most powerful."
"Hehe~"
After the ship slowly landed, Huang Rong took Ximen Cheng's hand and boarded Taohua Island first, introducing him to various beautiful scenery of Taohua Island.
Because the Taohua Island has many mechanisms and contains the Qimen Dunjia technique, when Huang Rong took Ximen Cheng to visit Taohua Island, she also specially taught Ximen Cheng unreservedly how to crack these mechanism techniques to Ximen Cheng to prevent him from getting lost in Taohua Island in the future.
As night falls slowly, under the soft moonlight, Peach Blossom Island becomes more quiet and dreamy.
Huang Rong took Ximen Cheng through a sea of white flowers and came to a stone tomb, and said sadly: "Brother Cheng, this is my mother's tomb. If my mother is still alive, she will definitely like you very much."
"Dong!Dong!Dong!"
Ximen Cheng looked up and saw the eleven big words "The Tomb of the Tomb of Feng, the heroine of Peach Blossom Island, buried in the incense" engraved on the tombstone in front of the grave. He walked directly to the stone tomb and knelt down, kowtowed three times respectfully and said: "Don't worry, Mother-in-law, I will protect Rong'er well in the future and will never let her suffer any grievances. If others want to bully her, they can only step over my body!"
Huang Rong felt moved, and then walked to Ximen Cheng and knelt down, kowtowed three times at the stone tomb and said, "Mom, please help Brother Cheng to be free from illness and disaster, safe and safe, and live a hundred years of long life."
"Rong'er, didn't my father-in-law always want to get the complete "Nine Yin Scriptures" and then burn it in front of my mother-in-law's grave to comfort my mother-in-law's spirit in heaven?"
Ximen Cheng stared at Feng Heng's grave for a while, turned to Huang Rong and said, "Why take me to see Zhou Botong. I will find a way to get the "Nine Yin Scriptures" from him. It is just right before our wedding to fulfill my father-in-law's wish, which is also my intention to be a son-in-law."
