Heavy rain falls on the quiet swallows, white waves surge into the sky, and fishing boats are nowhere to be seen outside Qinhuangdao Island. Who knows where to go?
Thousands of years ago, Wei Wu whipped his whip, and there was a posthumous chapter in Jieshi in the east. The bleak autumn wind is now again, and the human world has changed.
Only by standing on the shore of the vast ocean, watching the huge waves lapping at the rocks, and listening to the roar of the waves like giant beasts, can we truly understand the heroic passion of Taizu in Beidaihe. The sea is really a wide open space.
The elixir of a person's mind. Standing on the beach and looking at the boundless sea, people can't help but have the courage to have the world in mind.
When Zhu Ping'an was looking at the sea and his thoughts were gone, Li Shu and Baozi's little maid also stood on the beach and looked at the sea curiously.
"Miss, didn't you say last night that the sea is boundless? Why are we standing on the edge of the sea now?"
The little maid Baozi stood on the beach, but she didn't look at the endless sea in the distance. Instead, she looked at the endless coast at her feet with her troubled face, and asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Li Shu turned her gaze away from the endless sea in the distance, and glanced at the little maid Baozi speechlessly, as if looking at a dead tree, "Stupid girl, the boundless sea means that the sea can't be seen at a glance, but it doesn't mean the sea.
There are no edges.”
"The boundless sea means that it has no edge." Little maid Baozi muttered in a low voice.
Um?
Li Shu turned her head and glanced at Baozi's little maid. Baozi's little maid shrank her neck and stopped talking. She was just like a little mouse that was only seen by a cat, with a capitalized "coward" but a cute look.
Today is a day for a long voyage, but because of the superstitious concepts of ancient people, we must set sail at noon. It is said that at noon, the Yang energy is the strongest and all six evil spirits are warded off. Only by sailing at noon can we ensure a smooth sailing.
Yesterday, Zhu Pingan and Li Shu took a cruise from the capital to Tianjin along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu sent someone to pick Zhu Pingan and the others up at the Tianjin Port dock. After a night's rest, Zhu Pingan and the others took a carriage.
Came to the seaside.
At this time, Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu was doing some sea-sacrifice activities with some local officials at the seaside pier, which were also some practices of feudal superstition. Of course, the most important thing was to comfort himself. He organized manpower to build an altar and invited the local Taoist temple on the mountain.
The Taoist priest also tied several fat white pigs that had been slaughtered with big red flowers. In addition, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep were treated the same, and they were all placed by the seaport, waiting for the Taoist priest to finish the ritual.
These sacrifices were then offered to the sea.
Since the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, there has been no such activity of worshiping the sea before sailing for a long time, so it still attracted many people to watch, and everyone regarded it as a pastime. Not only common people, but also some dignitaries came
Many people watched.
However, the ceremony was cumbersome and boring. Li Shu didn't like this kind of occasion, so she came with Zhu Ping'an to watch the sea.
However, apart from seeing the boundlessness of the sea, the beach is not very beautiful, unlike those modern beaches. The beach at Zhu Pingan's feet is muddy, a bit dirty, and not as beautiful as fine sand.
beach.
I'm a little disappointed, but if you think about it, you can understand. Many of the excellent modern beaches are man-made, and most of the natural beaches are in the south. For example, most of the Bohai Sea is quagmire and has no beach.
Seeing that the sacrifice at the pier seemed to have come to an end, Zhu Ping'an took Li Shu and Baozi's maid back to the pier.
"It's you?"
The pier was very lively. Zhu Ping'an, Li Shu and the little maid Bao Zi passed through the crowd and were going to the pier to wait for boarding. When they were walking on the way, they suddenly heard a girl's voice that was half surprised and half angry.
It sounded not far away in my ears.
Hearing the girl's voice, Li Shu raised her head warily, and then saw a gorgeously dressed girl not far ahead, surrounded by maids and old ladies, well, there was also a beautiful young woman beside her. Their gazes
It all fell on Zhu Pingan.
Yo, we know each other.
Seeing this scene, Li Shu slightly raised her lips, her dark eyes glowing as she looked straight at the person coming across from her.
When Zhu Pingan saw the person coming, his head was a little big. Why did Miss Yan Er come to Tianjin Wei? After going to the toilet and accidentally peeping on Miss Yan Er out of the bath and the bathroom incident, Zhu Pingan was really afraid of meeting her. Last time
She threw her shoes on the way to the Royal Street to praise the official, and the bathroom incident was very scary to think about. The girls around Miss Yan Er at that time seemed to be armed with sticks and swords. She seemed to be a crazy girl!
Miss Yan Er's face was slightly red at the moment and she was gnashing her teeth as she stared at Zhu Pingan. Her eyes were shy, angry and half-hatred. On the other hand, the young woman next to Miss Yan Er was looking at Zhu Pingan up and down with interest.
"Hey, this is Zhu Ping'an, the new number one scholar in my family who is often mentioned by my sister, Mr. Xiao Zhu. It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance." The young and beautiful woman covered her mouth and giggled, talking about Zhu Ping'an in her words.
She doesn't look very good either, and her handsome appearance and Yushu Linfeng have nothing to do with Zhu Ping'an.
Miss Yan Er often mentions me? Haha, she probably said bad things, shouting about beating and killing, Zhu Pingan thought.
The handsome young woman next to Miss Yan Er is probably Yan Shifan's concubine. Because Yan Song only has a son, Yan Shifan, and a daughter, Miss Yan Er, who can be called Miss Yan Er's sister is more likely to be Yan Shifan's concubine.
"Who is this lovely little sister?" The young and beautiful young woman seemed to have just seen Li Shu. After talking about Zhu Pingan, she looked at Li Shu and asked deliberately.
The young woman looked at Li Shu and smiled. Not only did she smile without showing her teeth, but she also stretched out her slender hand to cover it slightly with a handkerchief. Her whole body was elegant and airy, and she looked like someone from a wealthy family.
"Madam, who are you?"
Li Shu glanced at the young woman up and down, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and asked lightly.
Li Shu's word "ma'am" caused the young woman opposite to lose half of her aristocratic look. Bo's pretty face was caught off guard by embarrassment, and her words and deeds that seemed to be a showdown were turned into ashes.
"Ahem, little sister, don't call me madam, please call me sister. Otherwise, others will think I sound very old." The young woman covered her mouth and said, squeezing her face a few times.
Share smiles.
"Calling you sister? Doesn't that make people think I'm very old?" Li Shu blinked, looking innocent.
Calling you sister doesn't make people think I'm very old?
Li Shu's words were extremely destructive, and she directly KO'd the young woman. The smile she was pretending on her face could no longer be put on anymore, and the smile on her face froze. This was only on the surface, and she was probably suffering from the pain in her heart.
