Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 456 When Li Shu met Miss Yan Er

  The heavy rain falls on the swallows, the white waves are raging, and the fishing boats outside Qinhuangdao can't see the vast ocean. Who do you know?

  Thousands of years passed in the past, Wei Wu waved his whip, and there was a posthumous chapter in the east of Jieshi. The bleak autumn wind is here again, and the world has changed.

   Only by standing on the vast ocean, watching the huge waves crashing on the rocks, and listening to the roaring waves like giant beasts, can you truly understand the heroic passion in Taizu's song "Waves Washing the Sand? Beidaihe". The sea is really an elixir that broadens people's minds. Standing on the beach and looking at the boundless sea, people can't help but have the courage to embrace the world.

  When Zhu Ping'an was looking at the sea and his thoughts were spreading, Li Shu and Baozi's little maid also stood by the seaside and looked at the sea curiously.

   "Miss, didn't you say last night that the sea is boundless, why are we standing on the sea now?"

   The bun girl stood by the sea, but she didn't look at the endless sea in the distance. Instead, she looked at the coast that kept going back and forth with a bun face, and asked in a daze.

Hearing this, Li Shu turned her eyes away from the endless sea in the distance, and glanced at the little maidservant Baozi speechlessly, as if looking at a rotten tree, "Stupid girl, the boundless sea means that the sea can't be seen at a glance, not the sea. There are no sides."

   "It means that the sea is boundless, so there is no edge." Baozi's little maid muttered in a low voice.

Um?

  Li Shu turned her head and glanced at the little girl Baozi, who shrank her neck and stopped talking, just like a little mouse that was only seen by a cat, with a capitalized "counseling"~~ but the appearance of admitting cowardice is very cute.

  Today is the day of long-distance sailing, but because of the superstitious concept of ancient people, we must set sail at noon. It is said that at noon, the yang energy is the strongest and the six evils are all warded off. Only when sailing at noon can the sailing be smooth.

Yesterday, Zhu Pingan and Li Shu took a pleasure boat from the capital to Tianjin directly along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Linhuai Hou Li Tingzhu sent people to bring Zhu Pingan and the others to Tianjin Port Wharf. After a night of rest, Zhu Pingan and the others took a carriage Came to the beach.

  At this time, Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, was doing some activities of offering sacrifices to the sea with some local officials at the pier by the sea, which was also some practice of feudal superstition. Organized manpower to build an altar, invited the head of the Taoist temple on the local mountain, and tied a few big fat pigs that had been slaughtered to big red flowers. In addition, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep were treated the same, and they were all placed in the When they got to the harbor, they waited for the Taoist priest to finish the ritual before offering these sacrifices to the sea.

  Since the Daming sea ban, there has been no such sea sacrifice activity before going to sea for a long time, so it still attracts many people to watch, and everyone regards it as a kind of pastime. Not only ordinary people, but even some dignitaries came to watch.

   But the ceremony was cumbersome and boring, and Li Shu didn't like this kind of occasion, so she followed Zhu Pingan to watch the sea.

  However, apart from seeing the boundless sea, the seaside is not so beautiful, unlike those modern beaches. The beach at Zhu Ping'an's feet was muddy and messy, not as beautiful as fine sand.

   I'm a little disappointed, but it's understandable when I think about it. Many of the excellent modern beaches are man-made, and most of the natural ones are in the south. For example, the Bohai Sea is mostly muddy and has no beaches.

   Seeing that the sacrifice at the pier seemed to be coming to an end, Zhu Pingan took Li Shu and Baozi's maid back to the pier together.

"It's you?"

The pier was very busy. Zhu Pingan, Li Shu and Baozi’s maid passed through the crowd, and they were going to the pier to wait for the boat. Halfway along the way, they suddenly heard a girl’s voice that was 70% surprised and 30% angry. It rang not far from the ear.

  Hearing the girl's voice, Li Shu raised her head vigilantly, and then saw a gorgeously dressed girl not far in front of her, surrounded by maids and old mothers, well, there was also a beautiful young woman beside her. Their eyes all fell on Zhu Ping'an.

  Yo, I know you.

  Seeing this scene, Li Shu raised her cherry lips slightly, her dark eyes glistened, and she stared straight at the person coming across.

  Zhu Pingan saw the person coming, his head was a bit big, how did Second Miss Yan come to Tianjin Wei? After going to the toilet to accidentally spy on Second Miss Yan out of the bath and the incident in the bathroom, Zhu Pingan was really afraid of meeting her. The last time she lost her shoes on Yujie Kuaguan Road, and the other bathroom incident is also very thought-provoking. The girls around Miss Yan at that time seemed to be carrying sticks and swords... This seems to be a crazy girl too!

  Second Miss Yan's face was reddish at the moment, and she stared at Zhu Ping'an through gritted teeth, with shyness, anger and hatred in her eyes. On the other hand, the young woman next to Miss Yan looked at Zhu Ping'an with interest.

"Hey, this is Zhu Ping'an, the champion of the new discipline that my sister often mentions, Mr. Zhu. Hehe... You really can't look like a person." The young and beautiful young woman covered her mouth and giggled, saying Zhu in her words. Ping'an's looks are not very good, and Zhu Pingan's dignified appearance and Yushu Linfeng have nothing to do with Zhu Ping'an.

  Second Miss Yan often mentions me? Hehe, probably they are talking bad things and screaming, Zhu Pingan thought to himself.

   The handsome young woman next to Second Miss Yan is probably Yan Shifan's wife and concubine. Because Yan Song only had a son, Shifan Yan, and a daughter, Miss Yan Er, who could be called Miss Yan Er's younger sister, probably Yan Shifan's wives and concubines were more likely.

   "Who is this lovely little sister?" The young and beautiful young woman seemed to have just seen Li Shu. After talking about Zhu Ping'an, she looked at Li Shu and asked deliberately.

  The young woman looked at Li Shu and smiled. Not only did she not show her teeth, but she also stretched out her slender hands and covered them slightly with a handkerchief.

   "Madam, who are you?"

  Li Shu glanced at the young woman up and down, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she asked lightly.

  Li Shu's word "Mrs." caused half of the rich and powerful family fan stored up by the young woman on the opposite side to collapse instantly. Bo Shi Fendai's pretty face was a bit caught off guard, and her words and deeds that seemed to have just stepped down were reduced to ashes at this moment.

"Ahem, little sister, don't call me madam, can you call me elder sister? Otherwise, people will think that I look old." The young woman covered her mouth and squeezed a little. smile.

   "Calling your sister? Doesn't that make people think I'm old?" Li Shu blinked her eyes with an innocent look on her face.

   Calling your sister, doesn't that make people think I am very old?

   Li Shu's words were extremely lethal, and directly KO'd the young woman, making the forced smile on the young woman's face hard to hold, and the smile on her face became stiff. This is only on the surface, and it is estimated that the impact on the heart is even greater.
