Chapter 27

The wedding of Jiang Chaosheng and Ji Xuanbing was on the Moon Festival, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the first half month of the wedding, Qiongzhou had many gift-giving guests one after another. After all, the journey was far away, so they arranged for someone to deliver the gifts early.

Jiang Chaosheng’s half-brothers in Kyoto, no matter how good or bad their relationship was in the past, all entrusted people to send them to the wedding, but none of them actually came to the wedding, only some side branches came. Jiang Chaosheng is not uncommon, as long as the money arrives, and when people come, he will be the host to entertain them. As for his own brother, he originally wanted to come, but Jiang Chaosheng firmly refused because of the long journey and hard work.

After all, compared to Qiongzhou, it was obvious that the whole family in the capital needed his third brother more. His nominal sister-in-law was pregnant again, and his little nephew was only three and a half years old, so it was not suitable for long-distance travel. But my brother is my brother, the gift is much heavier than others, and it is obviously more attentive.

As the wedding progressed day by day, Ji Xuanbing, who used to count the days every day, became a little strange. The specific performance was that when she went to bed at night, Ji Xuanbing slept unsteadily and was a little absent-minded when she was eating.

The seaside is hot, and the steaming hot food will make you sweat when you eat it, and raw pickles and cold dishes are relatively more popular with locals. The two of them are eating cold noodles today. The cattle of 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 all kinds of seafood.

The cold noodles they eat are handmade noodles directly from the cook outside. The noodles that are rolled out are quite smooth and tendon. The toppings on the noodles are spicy mix, with sesame, pepper, minced garlic, minced ginger… A variety of seasonings are hot Stir-fry in oil until fragrant, mix with fresh shredded kelp, fresh slices dug out of the lotus pond, and fresh shrimp boiled in clean water. After the well water has been chilled, it is mixed into noodles as a topping.

This kind of cold noodles is the most appetizing in summer. Ji Xuanbing and Jiang Chaosheng each have a large pot in front of them. To be precise, Ji Xuanbing’s pot is more.

Jiang Chaosheng was eating noodles attentively, when he saw a pair of chopsticks poking into his bowl, and then picked up a chopstick of noodles from his bowl, with two green coriander leaves.

He looked up and found that Ji Xuanbing, who was in the wrong bowl, also ate coriander coriander, which he usually doesn’t touch!

“Don’t you like to eat coriander?” The little shark is also picky. Of course, his favorite food is seafood. Ji Xuanbing likes all kinds of meat in human food. He can also eat some green vegetables, but it is only a A little bit, overall a standard carnivore. Ji Xuanbing didn’t like to eat 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…” The little merman, who usually jumps when he eats coriander, glanced down and chewed the green vegetable leaves expressionlessly: “It’s okay, it seems to be edible.”

Jiang Chaosheng first gently probed the little merman’s forehead, but it was still warm and cool, and his body temperature was lower than that of a normal person, and he had no fever. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Ji Xuanbing’s face again, pulling it out with a little force.

Ji Xuanbing’s face immediately bulged, and finally he had a reasonable response: “Chaosheng… why are you dragging me!”

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the coriander in the other’s bowl: “I’m looking to see if you have changed people under your skin.”

“Who?! Who has the guts to pretend to be me?!” Ji Xuanbing was furious, but the next moment his eyes turned sad, “Could it be that Chaosheng 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 your chopsticks are wrong.”

Ji Xuanbing put down his chopsticks in anger: “I don’t eat, I’m full.”

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the rice bowl in front of him, and there was more than half of it left, which did not meet Ji Xuanbing’s normal appetite at all. Yesterday, the little mermaid slept on the couch. He was very sure that the other party did not sneak out in the middle of the night to steal food. He woke up hungry in the morning, how could he be full after a few bites.

Jiang Chaosheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and said warmly: “What’s the matter, is there any discomfort in your body? Do you want to go back to the sea and ask the high priest to take a look.”

“I’m not sick!” Ji Xuanbing said excitedly, his voice dropped quickly, and he repeated softly, “I have no problem.”

He knows his own body the most, and throwing his tail into the face of the enemy can throw the latter several kilometers away. The food is no problem, and the benefactor is no problem, but he can’t help but be 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 worrying about gains and losses, and the little merman who was usually high-spirited and complacent was fine.

“No, I just had a dream, in which I dreamed that you didn’t want me anymore.” The wedding day was approaching, and the little mermaid who was looking forward to this event suddenly suffered from premarital phobia.

He originally wanted to marry Jiang Chaosheng in order to have a justifiable identity, but during this time he has learned a lot of words and has also come into contact with some outsiders, so Ji Xuanbing couldn’t help but worry. Because I care too much, I worry about gains and losses.

Jiang Chaosheng took Ji Xuanbing’s hand: “It’s my fault, I’m not enough with you this time.”

He had to personally arrange the wedding and arrange the wedding room. At the same time, he had to take into account the construction of Qiongzhou New City and the drafting of the new city order. All kinds of things added up to being quite busy, and there was not much time to accompany Ji Xuanbing every day.

Most of the time he was with Ji Xuanbing, and they were hanging out on the bed, spending time with the little shark. The two eat three meals a day, and often only have one breakfast together. He is going to Xincheng, and Ji Xuanbing is going back to the sea through the underground passage. It sounds excusable, but the time for two people to get along properly has indeed decreased.

“No.” Ji Xuanbing leaned over and snuggled into the young man’s arms, “I know Chaosheng is working hard for the future of the two of us, but I don’t think I can help much.”

His palace and people are all in the sea, and most of the sea tribes are repelling human beings. The same is true of human beings. If you expose your merman’s identity in front of outsiders, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

Although he has changed human legs, it didn’t last very long, and the state of the boom period was unstable. Sometimes seeing Jiang Chaosheng working so hard, Ji Xuanbing couldn’t help but fall into a state of depression. In addition, the marriage was approaching. When everyone else was busy, he was even more lost.

“Who said you can’t help me, if I didn’t have the money you gave me, I couldn’t do many things.” Jiang Chaosheng kissed the tip of the little merman’s hair, “If anyone speaks ill of you, just scold you back, I’ll take care of everything. If it’s too nasty, it’s fine if you want to fight back, just take it easy and don’t beat people to death.”

After all, in the battle of words, sin is not fatal. It’s just that he thinks about the people who are in contact with Ji Xuanbing on weekdays. Most of the 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 owner’s wife?

Sure enough, Ji Xuanbing immediately said: “No one speaks ill of me, I am, I am…”

Jiang Chaosheng understood. This is because the little shark was too nervous and suffered from pre-marital anxiety. When he got married, this symptom would naturally improve and disappear. But knowing that Ji Xuanbing was in a bad state, he couldn’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, at least he didn’t hold back. But looking at the gentle eyes of his future husband, what kind of sensible generosity was instantly forgotten by him, this is his husband, so don’t give it to anyone, he nodded heavily: “Okay! I can’t have official business, and I don’t want to. other people!”

Jiang Chaosheng hooked his tail finger and stamped the seal with his thumb: “It’s all up to you.”

In one day, Ji Xuanbing can maintain human legs for only two hours. If they get a lot of sea water, their legs will turn back into tails. Taking this into account, Jiang Chaosheng put on two-piece prosthetic legs for the little merman himself. , holding Ji Xuanbing in a wheelchair.

It is not yet time to announce, and the affectionate princess is still bad in the eyes of outsiders. He pushed Ji Xuanbing outside, the wheels turned very fast, and it didn’t take long for him to come to the seaside. The original small and broken wharf, after renovation, has already been renovated and turned into a lively port. Compared with that kind of large port, this The port in this small town is a rudimentary one, but there are a lot of people coming and going, and it looks quite lively.

He walked around with Ji Xuanbing. The little merman who had no appetite ate three pancakes and bought half a pot of fried chestnuts with sugar. The fine sand washed by the beach was mixed with chestnuts collected in autumn. After a stir fry, One by one, the fresh chestnuts with plump flesh burst open in a large iron pot, no need for additional sugar, and they all exude a sweet and attractive flavor.

The “beautiful princess” eats so much that the food stall owners frequently look at Ji Xuanbing, how can people be so thin after eating so much?

They strolled around, and the lookout made a cry of surprise.

“Fleet, the fleet is coming back!”

There are already ten ships in Jiang Chaosheng’s territory, three large ships, mainly the Jade Emperor, and the remaining seven large ships, forming a fleet with high combat effectiveness at sea. Half a month ago, ten ships set sail with goods produced at sea, expensive fine salt, various sun-dried seafood, and a small number of pearls.

After selling all the goods, they finally came back before Jiang Chaosheng’s wedding. This time, the fleet brought nearly 2,000 people. On the initiative of Ji Xuanbing, they bought slaves in batches.
