Breeding Mermaid Cubs

"Hurry up, I won't be able to catch up with the excitement later."

On the 26th, Zhou Zhu and Zhang Yaner were very happy.

Mian Shu was standing in front of the courtyard, the Zhang family was already busy at the moment, many people gathered in front of and behind the courtyard.

Zhang's family doesn't have many relatives and friends, and Zhang Wu also lived in Xiacheng when he was young, and he had no way of contacting his relatives and friends in the old days. This time, all the friends or neighbors who have met in Xiacheng over the past few decades came here.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Although they are not relatives and friends, the neighbors are as lively as they are.

Wang Qingye occupies a favorable position, he can not only watch the wedding, but also go to Zhou's house for dinner.

He heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and he went out from the house. The Zhou family's welcoming team had already arrived, and after some etiquette, the bride was led out.

Zhang Yan'er was wearing a mandarin duck tassel red hijab, the sound of firecrackers was deafening, Mian Shu grabbed Wang Qingye's hand: "I want to see the bride."

"There will be plenty of time to watch in the future, don't rush today."

"Let's go, let's also go to Zhou's house and wait for the dinner." Wang Qingye carried the gift, and the wardrobe he ordered had already been delivered yesterday in advance. It was supposed to be more festive to give away today, but there are many guests coming and going. , He didn't want to make too much noise, there were blessings on the left and right, and it didn't matter if it was a day in advance.

The two went straight to Zhou's new house.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Zhou's mother welcomes relatives and friends at the door with a radiant face.

"Oh, Wang Langjun, hurry up, please come inside, after a while, I will let Zhu'er have a good drink with Langjun."

"It's okay, today is a day of great joy, entertain relatives and friends well, I see him every day."

"Zhu'er has been taken care of by Mr. Lang, you and my little brother should sit inside."

Wang Qingye nodded slightly, went to the favor office to give presents and money, and then led Mianshu in.

It was the first time for Mianshu to visit Zhou Zhu's new house. There was a wild garden outside the entrance, and a large cluster of red begonias bloomed happily, inheriting today's good day.

Zhou's house is not too big. There is a yard in front and a garden outside. It is good for entertaining guests. Behind is the house, a main house, four bedrooms, and the kitchen is split separately. A barn with all the facilities, it is considered a decent family in the city.

"Zhou Zhu's new house is really good. I used to say that this child is promising, but now he has found a decent job, and he bought a new house in a short time, and now he has a capable daughter-in-law. Our big Zhou family It’s comparable to some of my peers.”

"Auntie, you used to say that brother Zhou Zhu was worthless to be a peddler in the streets. Seeing that this is not the way to meet noble people in the streets and make connections, so you can live a good life today."

"I said this before because Zhou Zhu was originally a scholar. You said that after reading and knowing how to read, it's not easy to go to work as a hawker. But after all, it's good to study. No matter what you do, you can be successful. "

"That's not true, otherwise it would be a waste of money to send it to the academy?"

"Hey, look, the gentleman who came in over there is so handsome, and that little brother is really good-looking too."

Several women looked at the door at the same time, and one of them knocked on the pumpkin seeds and said, "Damn, isn't that Zhou Zhu's boss, I've seen it before."

"Hey, I don't know that my master is so young, I don't know if he is married or not."

"Don't make up your mind, look at the little brother who is following him, his own son! It's all spread, widower belt."

"The eldest aunt is really a god of ears. It's a pity, but it's not uncommon to marry again after losing a wife. The owner has money and good looks. If someone's daughter goes, it's not like taking advantage of it." .I'll go to Zhou Zhu to inquire about it."

"Hey, this piece of aunt, I don't even want to see how the man can be so attentive to her girl."

Mian Shu raised her eyebrows when she heard the conversation of several people, glanced at Wang Qingye furtively, and sighed, why is there still someone rushing to ask for it after talking like this.

After the ceremony was completed, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, and the groom and officials came out to entertain the guests. The relatives and guests who had just dispersed all sat around for a while, and the kitchen began to serve dishes one by one.

Wang Qingye took Mianshu to find a random place to sit down. Most of the dishes in the flowing water table are fixed, but the cooks are different, and the tastes are different. First, cold dishes are served, followed by meat dishes, big dishes, and soup dishes. , and end with a plate of kimchi.

Zhou Zhu came to toast first: "I have been busy just now and never came to greet my lord."

"I'm an old acquaintance, don't worry about me, just go and do your work."

Zhou Zhu added a glass of wine: "No matter what, this glass of wine must be respected to the gentleman. If it weren't for the gentleman, I would not be here today, and I would never marry Yan'er. I will do it first as a respect."

Seeing Zhou Zhu drink the wine, Wang Qingye had no choice but to take a drink with the ceremony: "Go and do your work, don't say such polite words."

"Your Majesty, feel free."

"well."

When the people at the table saw Zhou Zhu leaving, they immediately served wine again. They introduced themselves as the elders of the Zhou family, and they were looking for Wang Qingye to toast and talk. Wang Qingye was not surprised that he wanted to make friends like this, but look at it. In Zhou Zhu's face, he still didn't save others' face, so he had no choice but to sue for alcohol.

After Mian Shu had had enough of the banquet, he felt that this kind of wine lawsuit was really boring. He would go back and forth and say some sour and beautiful words, which gave people a headache, so he simply got off the table and walked around to see what was new.

Right now it is time to eat, and there are still people coming outside one after another, but there are not as many people as before. He stepped on the short grass, and got to the crabapple that he had noticed before the entrance. The clusters of crabapple were very good. Look, he picked off a branch and planned to pick some back to put in the vase. All the flower branches picked back on February [-] had all withered, so it was time to bring some back for replacement.

A gust of spring breeze blew across his face, and there was a hint of familiarity in the fragrance of crabapple flowers. He suddenly stopped his hands, feeling deeply uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty."

A slightly hoarse voice came, and Mianshu subconsciously wanted to leave, but it was still a step too late, and the visitor suddenly blocked his way.

"Uncle Qian, why are you here again?"

Mian Shu knew that she couldn't leave, so she turned away dissatisfied.

The old man in the bamboo hat straightened his camouflage and bowed his back: "Little Highness, you promised to go back with the old slave in a month, and it has been more than a month now. If the old slave hadn't left this time, when will Your Highness plan to hide?" On New Year's Eve, the old slave heard the report from his subordinates and found His Highness's aura in Xiacheng. His Highness knew how pleased the old slave was. It took a few months to find His Highness, and there were countless twists and turns. Don't His Highness want to go back to see His Highness and Shark King Shark Queen?"

"I didn't say I won't go back, you have to wait for me to settle the matter here before leaving. I stayed in Xiacheng for several months, and kind people took me in, so I can't leave without saying goodbye." Mian Shu lowered her eyes, depressed , I originally thought that I could procrastinate every day, but such procrastination will have an end, and I don't know that today is the end.

On New Year's Eve, when he and Wang Qingye set off lotus lanterns in the city river, he felt the mermaid's breath. At that time, he guessed that people from the same clan had come to Xiacheng, but he didn't expect that they would find him so soon.

So many things happened these days, if he left now, maybe Wang Qingye would turn around and forget about him.

Seeing that his attitude has changed, given time, she might agree to be with him, but the premise... is that he must be there.

"What kind of way does Your Highness want to say goodbye? If you don't reveal your identity, what kind of dangerous situation will you be in? If you encounter any accidents, this old slave will definitely not be able to bear the responsibility. If Your Highness insists on going your own way, His Highness will I will personally come to pick you up." The old man said: "His Highness has always hated humans, if he knew that His Highness stayed in the city for human beings, he would definitely think that it was humans who bewitched His Highness."

What else is there to expose? It has been exposed since the first day we met. If he had waited for him to keep his identity, he would have been in the pot for fish head soup.

"Uncle Qian doesn't need to scare me with elder brother." Mian Shu said with a serious face, "I won't forgive him if he really wants to do this."

"Give me some more time, I will go back myself."

After saying that, Mianshu lifted his foot and left, but heard a thumping sound behind him.

"Uncle Qian, what are you doing! Isn't this frustrating me!"

Seeing the man kneeling down suddenly, Mian Shu felt tormented. He turned around and wanted to help him up, but he couldn't drag the old mermaid who had been fighting all the year round.

"If His Highness does not leave the old slave now, the old slave will kneel down here."

"Uncle Qian!"

The two stalemate in the crabapple bushes for a while, neither of them willing to admit defeat.

"Mother, there are begonias over there, I want to pick them."

"Go, be careful."

Mian Shu was startled when she heard the words, but she didn't have time to let the old man hide quickly, she just felt a pain in her neck, and her eyes turned black and she fell down.

The old man hugged the fallen man and sighed: "Your Highness has offended you."

"Uncle Qian, the little Highness might lose his temper when he wakes up like this."

The young man who suddenly came out of the darkness looked at the fainted Mian Shu, and couldn't help worrying.

"I used to lose my temper when I was young, and I haven't seen much of it? Your Highness has always been willful. If he is allowed to continue like this, he might go somewhere tomorrow, and how will he explain to the Shark King?" Qian picked him up. , frowned: "Why is your highness so heavy?"

After saying that, he felt that if this word reached Mian Shu's ears, there would be a commotion, so he said, "I'm getting old."

The corner of the attendant's mouth twitched: "Your Highness is about to reach adulthood, and it's normal for him to grow heavier. Maybe it's because he was taken care of in the city."

"You are not allowed to mention the matter of the city. Your Highness has been reluctant to go back for so long. I am afraid that someone has tricked you. Your Highness has been able to stay in the city for so long. It is all because of your own intelligence. Your Highness has suffered."

The attendant lowered his head: "Yes."

After Wang Qingye finished dealing with the people who came to climb knots, he turned around and found that Mianshu hadn't come back yet.

He walked around Zhou's house but didn't see anyone. He asked the concierge and found out that someone had gone out to see Haitang. He shook his head, this brat.

"Mianshu, do you want to go home?"

After leaving Zhou's house, Wang Qingye only looked at a broken crabapple flower under the crabapple tree, and a child with pigtails was picking crabapple flowers beside him, but there was no sign of his own fish cubs.

"Did you see a brother here just now?"

"No, it's just me and my mother here."

Wang Qingye glanced back at the woman who was waiting on the side road, he nodded slightly, and asked doubtfully, "Where did this bastard go?"

"Can you sense that Mianshu is nearby? Don't say you can't, he has broadcast live many times, you must have his information."

[Host, there is no information about the little mermaid nearby, the system cannot find it]

It was rare for the system to provide reliable news, but it was not what Wang Qingye wanted to hear.

He stood at the bow of the boat facing the wind, holding a red rope bell in his hand. The bell went tens of thousands of miles with the wind, but the sea was as calm as if there were no living things: "What about when I was looking for it in the city? Is there any information about him? "

【nor】

Wang Qingye grabbed the bell, and the silver bell stopped making any sound.

One day and one night, he searched all the places that Xiacheng Mianshu often went to, almost turning Xiacheng upside down, but he didn't find any clues about Mianshu, Xiaoyu seemed to have evaporated from the world.

When he returned to the boat tent, he was distraught and blamed himself so much that he couldn't close his eyes, why he lost Mianshu again, everything happened without warning.

The most likely thing at the moment is that someone has evil intentions towards Mianshu and took him away. If not, he would confess when he went out in the past, and he was always a little fish who came home on time. How could he not come back for so long.

He tried his best to keep his mind steady. The only thing he can comfort himself now is to have comfortable feet. It is not as dangerous as when he only had a tail. He thought it would be life-threatening for the time being. Since he was not in the city, he went back and hired someone to go to a nearby place. If you look in the village, or in Lin County, you can always find some clues.

"Wang Langjun?"

Just as Wang Qingye arrived at the alley outside the city, he saw two scholars dressed in green clothes greet him: "Mianshu hasn't come to the academy all day today. What's wrong with him, but he's sick? We want to come and see him."

"No..." Wang Qingye paused, and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Mianshu's old illness relapsed, and he went back to Sichuan for treatment. I'm going to the academy to ask for leave for him."

Jiang Yu and Tian Yuchen looked at each other, worried: "Is Mianshu uncomfortable?"

"He had a leg problem, and he was weak when he was a child. He couldn't walk before, but he was cured later, and now he has some attacks."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Since Mianshu has returned to Sichuan, we can talk to Master when we go back."

"Then thank you both."

"You're welcome, we are classmates." Jiang Yu glanced at Wang Qingye who had bruises around his eyes, he seemed a little haggard, and said, "Mianshu can definitely be cured, and you don't have to worry too much, sir."

Wang Qingye responded, and after watching the two walk away, he felt a little dazed. When he didn't go to pick up Mianshu on a normal day, at this time, he could see the three of them walking sideways under the setting sun with their book bags in the academy, wearing Walk across Qingshi Long Street and walk downstairs to Jiang Chun, and Mian Shu, who is far away, will wave to him.

He didn't dare to take a break, so he went straight to the snack bar. At present, he can rest assured that the only ones who let him follow him to find Mianshu are the Zhou family and his wife. Mianshu's identity is sensitive, and it would be bad if too many people know that he is gone.

The Zhou family and his wife were originally newlyweds, and Wang Qingye gave them a holiday, but they felt that they were together around the shop, and these days were when business was good, so there was no need for a holiday.

"I want two pieces of fried squid, two more pieces of sushi, and some skewers. Can drinks be taken away?"

"Yes sir, did you buy so much for your family?"

The man smiled gently: "I heard that Xiacheng has a lot of delicious food. There is Jiafuxizhai in front of it, and it is available in our provincial capital. But your shop has unique food, even the name is unique."

"This is taken by our boss. The boss is free and easy, even the shop follows him. If you like to eat some special fresh food, go to Dongnan Street. There is a Jiangchunlou at the other end, and the food is also top-notch. OK."

The man raised his eyebrows, which was actually warmer than the March spring breeze outside: "Then thank you for the introduction, brother, I can try it later."

"Hey, then Mr. Lang has to report my name as Zhang Er. It will be a boon for Mr. Lang. If the master is happy, he will give me money."

Jing Zhi smiled lightly, the folk customs of Xiacheng are honest and good, and the food is also special, he is holding the food box, and the outside is warm, and the food box is also warm, I think it will not be cold when I take the food back later, it is just right when Hou Ye comes back from his salt inspection Eat some snacks to pad your stomach.

"Lang Jun, wait a moment, I'll get you a drink, I'm not bragging, our small shop has drinks at home, and you can't get them anywhere else."

"it is good."

Wang Qingye had just arrived at the street at the random gate, and saw a young man with a gentle smile sitting in the shop from a distance, wearing a deep blue robe with cross-collared dark patterns, and the hanging ornaments around his neck that set off the brilliance, he rushed up with a stride , grabbed the man's clothes, and opened the collar to remove the pendant around his neck.

Jing Zhi was obviously frightened by the sudden attack, and he quickly grabbed his collar with his backhand. The man's strength was so strong that he could only scold angrily: "What are you trying to do!"

Zhang Er got the drink and came back, saw the two people tangle together, and was about to scold whoever was contemptuous of people in the restaurant in broad daylight, when he took a closer look, it turned out to be his own boss, he didn't know what to scold for just now The man who bought things didn't know whether he should be restrained by his boss.

"My master, my master? What's going on here?"

Wang Qingye kicked Zhang Er away, seeing that the pendant was about to be torn off, but the man resisted angrily and defended desperately, and the two fell to the street together.

I was about to go to the casual Tang Suxiao crossing the street, looking at the people rolling in a pile at the entrance of the restaurant, I was thinking about when the people of Xiacheng became so open, and the two men were so impatient in the street~

Seeing the good show, he quickened his pace and his mind tensed up.

"Wang Qingye, are you crazy!"

Tang Suxiao almost lost his breath, the two twisted together, one turned out to be Nanpinghou's personal attendant, and the other turned out to be Monk Wang, who was usually clean and pure, and he was uncharacteristically like a hungry wolf when he saw that he was jumping on Jing Zhi's body Wang Qingye, he hurried forward to pull people, usually looking at idle people, he was so strong that he couldn't pull them, and he didn't know how Jing Zhi, who looked thin and weak, was not stripped of his clothes.

"What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and drag your boss away, what a shame!"

Zhang Erlian took Tang Suxiao and the two servants of the Tang family together to pull Wang Qingye up. Tang Suxiao hurriedly helped Jing Zhi up, who was disheveled on the ground, and said in fear, "Master Jing, are you alright?" .It hurts."

Jing Zhi took a breath, first touched the pendant still around his neck, and then adjusted his collar.

Tang Suxiao saw a piece of silvery-white scales with shreds of light protruding from Jing Zhi's collar, and saw Wang Qingye's crazy eyes, and immediately understood everything. Although the fish scales are indeed beautiful, they are rare. Even though there are countless treasures in the Tang family, he has never seen such a treasure, but considering that Jing Zhi is from Nanping Hou, it is not surprising that he has some rare treasures. What he wonders is why Wang Qingye, who has always been a Buddhist monk like a monk, would Such a gaffe to grab a fish scale.

"Master Jing, this is Caomin's good friend Wang Qingye. You deserve to die if you offend Mr. Caomin, please don't care about Mr. Caomin's thin face. He is just a fish scale fanatic. Time is out of control.”

Tang Suxiao tugged Wang Qingye's sleeve, motioning him to continue with his own words.

Wang Qingye rubbed his fingertips, he barely touched the man's wrist just now, the man's hand was as cold as if he just took it out of the water, he looked at the scale tied around his neck, the scale itself was silvery white, But under the sun, it will reflect colorful light, these are soft scales, he definitely can't make a mistake!

"Where did the scales come from?"

Tang Suxiao was taken aback by the cold and oppressive voice, did this person really want to die today?

Jing Zhi regained his composure, and his face turned into a calm expression: "This is an accessory I always wear by my side. As for where it came from, I don't need to talk to Lang Jun."

"Tang Langjun, please take good care of your friend. I will leave first."

After saying that, Jing Zhi hurried away with the food box.

Wang Qingye wanted to catch up, but was grabbed by Tang Suxiao: "What the hell are you doing today? But I got lost in my mind, do you know who that person was just now? It's Mr. Kui Jing who treats people kindly. Others, you have died several times already, what are you doing on the street if you don’t have anything to do by pulling people’s collars, if you really can’t, come and pull me!”

Wang Qingye lost his temper by Tang Suxiao's words, and looked away unwillingly: "Who did you say was that person just now?"

"He is Nanpinghou's personal attendant, and he came to Xiacheng with Nanpinghou this time. Nanpinghou is cold and indifferent to his servants, and he must be very important in the Houfu. You said you are very good, If you don't go crazy on weekdays, you will die when you do."

Wang Qingye grabbed Tang Suxiao's wrist: "Are you sure he is from the Houfu?"

"Why can't I be sure, I had a banquet together on the boat before."

"Where does he live now?"

Tang Suxiao was suspicious: "What do you want to do, you are still so wicked!"

Wang Qingye restrained his mind and said: "I didn't sleep well last night. I was really rude before. Fortunately, my lord didn't care about it, but I can't let it go. I should come to the door to apologize."

Tang Suxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "It can be regarded as sober."

The author has something to say: Shimori: I really didn’t think that everyone would think that Jing Zhi was Xiao Tang’s best friend. In fact, Jing Zhi’s identity was briefly mentioned at the beginning of the article.Too far away, everyone may have forgotten, haha~

Xiao Tang, Jing Zhi, Lord Hou, and Xiao Tang who has never met: We really don't have polygamy!
