It's not good to be a widow [Comprehensive]

Feixian Island is the largest island in the South China Sea. Baiyun City was built on the best terrain on the island. Going north along the city lord's mansion, after leaving the city gate, there is a forest of begonias stretching outside the city wall.

The flowering period of the crabapple is short, and it usually withers after the beginning of summer, so when Lu Jinglu followed Ye Gucheng, all he could see were dazzling green waves.

They walked through the green waves, and when they looked up, they could see small green fruits the size of fingernails hanging on the branches hanging by their sides.

Lu Jinglu studied forestry before crossing, and when he saw this scene, he suddenly became interested, saying that this crabapple forest looks well-managed, and it will bear fruit.

Hearing what she said suddenly, Ye Gucheng also turned his head to pay attention to the crabapple trees around him, then nodded and said: "Yes, every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the housekeeper always sends people here to pick fruits and make wine."

Lu Jinglu: "All wine?"

Ye Gucheng actually didn't care about this at all, but she asked all the questions, and he could only nod based on his impression: "It should be."

"Then you can let them try to make some candied fruit this year." She said, "Marinate it with sugar. It's sweet and sour. You must like it."

The two of them ate so many suppers together, Lu Jinglu thought that he knew his taste very well, so he made a suggestion by the way.

Ye Gucheng was stunned, and then remembered that when they had dinner together at night, she would often say this sentence - you must like what the kitchen did today.

Then he tasted it, and he really liked it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being curious again, why did she stop waiting for him to eat together in the past few days?

Since asking the maid can't find out the truth, and the method the sword waiter thought of is useless, why not ask her directly while she is still happy?

It's a pity that before he could figure out what to ask, they had already walked out of this grove of begonias.

Lu Jinglu saw the real boundless blue waves not far outside the forest, couldn't help speeding up her pace, and ran towards the beach where the tide was rising.

It's not like she hasn't seen the sea before, but compared to the modern beaches that have been ruined by all kinds of pollution, this place is obviously much more beautiful.

The fine sand is light white, the sea water is clear and blue, extending all the way to a position that cannot be recognized by the naked eye, and then meets the blue sky. The sun shines down, like a green yarn with golden light.

"It's so beautiful here." Lu Jinglu sighed softly.

Ye Gucheng's feelings are far less deep than hers. No matter how good the scenery is, he has been looking at it for more than [-] years, but when he heard her speak, he also subconsciously looked at her twice, and finally moved his eyes to her who was brighter than usual. The corners of Bei's lips twitched unconsciously.

"If you like, you can come here often." He said, "Passing caravans and cargo ships can only stop at the ferry on the south side. It's very quiet here and won't—"

He originally wanted to say that there would be no outsiders to disturb him, but halfway through his speech, he caught a glimpse of a boat on the sea surface after the tide ebbed.

Ye Gucheng: "..."

Lu Jinglu also saw the boat, and asked curiously, "That's it?"

Ye Gucheng: "It's the boat of a friend of mine."

After pausing for a moment, he added another sentence of explanation: "He has always been informal and doesn't strictly abide by the rules of Feixian Island. Except for him, it is absolutely impossible for others to park their boats here."

Lu Jinglu heard his helpless tone, but did not intend to blame him, and said: "Then you should have a good relationship."

Ye Gucheng said that he had actually only met twice, but he still hit it off.

"According to you, he is not from the South China Sea?" Lu Jinglu asked again.

"No." He pursed his lips and said, "But his home is at sea."

Lu Jinglu didn't understand: "Home is at sea?"

Ye Gucheng smiled and pointed to the boat that was about to stop, and said, "That's his home."

Up to this point, Lu Jinglu hasn’t thought too much about it. After all, it’s not uncommon to have a boat as your home after 1000 years. Let alone a boat, you can use your car as a house.

So she continued to ask, "Then how did you know each other?"

Ye Gucheng: "He made a bet with others, went into Baiyun City Lord's Mansion to steal wine, and happened to be bumped into by me, and we got to know each other after a fight."

Lu Jinglu: "..." Wait, betting on stealing things, taking a boat as a home, and making a proud person like Ye Gucheng feel like a good match, and treating him as a friend after a fight, could this person be the maids? Chu Liuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the bandit who has been enthusiastically discussed and praised before, right? !

The more Lu Jinglu thought about it, the more she felt that she must have guessed right.

She was not in a hurry to ask Ye Gucheng for confirmation, anyway, they were going there now, and when they got to the place where the boat stopped and saw the owner of the boat, they would know everything.

After about half a cup of tea, the unremarkable-looking ship was just around the corner.

The two stood still under the boat, Ye Gucheng was about to speak, but a rough voice sounded in the cabin first: "Ah? Are we... are... are we here, old bug?"

Lu Jinglu: "..." It really was Chu Liuxiang.

The next moment, another voice rang out.

The voice was low and pleasant, and seemed to have a smile on it, and said: "In the past few days, you have been sleeping and drinking on my boat, and now you can't stand up straight, so don't rush into the city, sober up Say more."

"Nonsense, nonsense...! Where do I stand... I can't stand upright anymore, hurry... let's go into the city and see what that... Mrs. Ye looks like..."

When the last few words were spoken, the drunken voice was visibly quieter, as if someone had suddenly covered his mouth.

Lu Jinglu outside the cabin was still speechless, and there was another "boom" sound from inside.

At the same time, the cabin door creaked open from inside, and a young man in a moon-white robe bent over and walked out, looking apologetically at her and Ye Gucheng who were under the boat.

The young man was naturally Chu Liuxiang, and the person who drank too much and shouted to see what Mrs. Ye looked like was his good friend Hu Tiehua who grew up together.

Chu Liuxiang noticed someone coming outside early in the morning, and guessed that it was probably Ye Gucheng. She wanted to settle Hu Tiehua before coming out to say hello, but who would have thought that Hu Tiehua would yell out such a sentence without knowing it.

Although the two of them came here because they were curious about what Ye Gucheng's wife looked like, could they say this in front of Ye Gucheng?Of course not.

Chu Liuxiang could only quickly touch Hu Tiehua's sleeping point, tell him to shut up and lie down, and then quickly came out to apologize.

"Little Hu, he drank too much." Chu Liuxiang jumped off the boat gracefully, stood still in front of Ye Gucheng and Lu Jinglu, and said sincerely, "You know him, he is easy to talk nonsense when he drinks, but there is absolutely no Disrespectful to your wife."

Ye Gucheng didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Lu Jinglu first.

He felt that husband and wife were one, and if she minded Hu Tiehua's inappropriate drunken talk, then he would take his attitude more seriously.

But when he turned around, he found that Lu Jinglu was not only not angry, but was also staring at Chu Liuxiang without blinking, his eyes full of curiosity.

Ye Gucheng: "..."

For some reason, he was a little annoyed.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't wait for him to speak, so he could only continue to say: "Otherwise, when Xiao Hu wakes up, I will ask him to go to the City Lord's Mansion to make an apology in person."

Ye Gucheng finally said: "No need."

Now it was Chu Liuxiang's turn, not knowing what to say, she raised her hand and touched her nose in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Lu Jinglu coughed lightly to break the silence and said, "Since it's drunken nonsense, forget it."

Chu Liuxiang immediately said, "Thank you Mrs. Ye Haihan."

Although the scene at the beginning was a bit awkward, after saying a few words, it can be regarded as being saved a bit.

After that, Chu Liuxiang invited the two of them to board the boat, and Ye Gucheng also agreed.

Chu Liuxiang said that he heard about Ye Gucheng's marriage on the way from Jiangnan, so he didn't have time to prepare any congratulatory gifts, so he could only entertain them with his own wine.

He is a person who always speaks and does things just right, but not the kind of hypocrisy just right, on the contrary, every sentence is full of sincerity, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and there is no way to hate him at all.

Therefore, after he took out his own wine and poured it for them, Ye Gucheng and Lu Jinglu held up their wine glasses with dignity.

It's just that before Lu Jinglu drank, Ye Gucheng stopped him, saying that it was cold, and he could just drink it for her.

Lu Jinglu: "..." Why do you still remember!

Seeing her resentment, Ye Gucheng also hesitated: "Do you want to drink?"

Lu Jinglu said honestly, "It should be fine after a little sip, right?"

Ye Gucheng was still struggling, Chu Liuxiang interjected at the right time, saying that if Mrs. Ye can't drink cold, then just warm it up.

"This wine was brewed by a friend of mine. It tastes better hot than cold."

Lu Jinglu once again: "..." How can she say that she just wants to drink something refreshing?

Of course, this wish was not fulfilled, but Chu Liuxiang would drink the whole jar once it was hot, so in the end he and Ye Gucheng drank the hot one just like her.

The warmed wine had a sweet fragrance of flowers and fruits, and the taste was not bad when it drank into the throat. Lu Jinglu couldn't hold back for a while, so she drank a few more glasses.

Seeing that she was drinking so happily, Ye Gucheng didn't stop her. As a result, the jar of wine was empty, and when he got up to leave and disembark, he found that Lu Jinglu's steps were crooked.

She seemed to be fine, and there was no blush on her face, and she walked beside him with bright eyes, but every time she took a step, she would lean a little towards him.

When the two got off the boat, her face was almost pressed against his sleeve.

The seaside was very windy in the evening, Ye Gucheng thought of Mr. Mei Da's instructions, so he didn't help her at all, he picked her up by the waist, and hurried back to the city lord's mansion.

On the way, she lay quietly in his arms without making any sound, as if she was asleep.

Ye Gucheng thought for a while, and without disturbing the rest of the mansion, he carried her back to the bedroom in the main courtyard.

The lights in the room hadn't been turned on yet. After putting him on the bed, he straightened up and walked aside to light the two lamps beside the bead curtain.

And when he looked back again, the person he thought had fallen asleep opened his eyes and was staring at him.

The lights were bright, not as bright as her eyes.

Ye Gucheng didn't know what he was thinking, but when he came back to his senses, he had already stood beside the bed.

He found that what Lu Jinglu was looking at was not him, but the sword at his waist.

"What's the matter?" Even knowing that she was drunk, he subconsciously asked this question.

In the end, Lu Jinglu answered, and she spoke very clearly, not like a drunk person at all.

"Actually, you don't need to put the sword in the middle of the bed every day." She even sighed, "I won't force you."

"..."

"I won't break you up either."
