Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 14 Typhoon

Su Yue didn't go to Fushui for several days. She took advantage of Wang's lunch break to go out and asked Hongjiao to cover for her. Two days ago, she was able to come here before Wang woke up. Today, it was too late to follow the old Wu. some time.

"Second miss, you scared me to death." Hongjiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Yue came back, "Why have you been here for so long today? My wife just woke up and didn't have time to ask you. She was talking to my aunt and Gui in the front yard My sister is playing."

Su Yue squinted her eyes, "This is the best, we still have time to go back to the wing to show off." She quietly went back to the west wing, picked up the half-embroidered forehead handkerchief, and continued to embroider.

Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Wang came over. Seeing that her daughter's embroidery had made great progress, she touched Su Yue's hair lovingly, "If you are tired from embroidery, take a rest, and your eyes will feel better."

Su Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm not tired. After a few more days of embroidering, this forehead handkerchief will be finished. At that time, I will sew a pearl the size of a lotus seed rice on it. It will definitely look good on my mother."

This is Su Yue's first time embroidering things for Wang. Her embroidery is not very good. If you look closely, the stitches are a little crooked, but the color is better than that. She used two colors of turmeric and lilac, but in Wang's eyes, this The sub forehead handkerchief is the best embroidered in the world.

Wang's embraced Su Yue's shoulders, her eyes were wet, "My family's A Yue's must be the best. When A Yue is done, I will take it out."

Then it occurred to her that there were six fine pearls in her dowry box, which were given to her by Su Yu.It is said that Xiao Hei went fishing in the sea and caught the sea mussels. Unexpectedly, there are pearls hidden in the sea mussels. All of them are the size of lotus seed rice, and they are bright in color. Four of them were kept, and the remaining six were taken back to her natal family to honor her, but she was never willing to use them.

Seeing her daughter embroidering flowers for a while, Mrs. Wang couldn't sit still, and hurriedly went to the main room in the front yard to look for Nanzhu.

After Mrs. Wang left, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief and stretched her waist. Under Mrs. Wang's painstaking cultivation, her embroidery work has improved at least, and she can still show her hand. Since she planned to embroider a forehead handkerchief for Mrs. Wang Since then, she has been embroidering with extra care, and her fingers have been pricked several times by needles, thinking that she can finish the embroidery before the day of Avalokitesvara's Enlightenment, so that Mrs. Wang can take her to Guangxiao Temple to eat vegetarian dishes.

For the next two days, Su Yue nestled in her room embroidering her forehead handkerchief, and she didn't even bother Mrs. Wang to go with her when she went out to buy groceries.

Wang came back angrily after buying the vegetables, and threw the basket on the ground, and a string of wicker-clad fish jumped out of the basket alive and kicking.

It turned out that he was going to talk to the old Wu about the stupid big man's marriage, and he was embarrassed by the old Wu.

"Mother, why do you have to be so angry? I'm so angry." Su Yue picked up the fish on the ground, kept the red banana in the water tank, and walked over to comfort Wang.

The old Wutou pushed people and vegetables several feet away, and let the people on the street see the jokes. Wang became angry when he thought about it, "I really put my hot face on someone's cold ass, what a good marriage, he is I disagree with life and death. The girl from the salesman's family can wash and cook, and can also embroider and sew clothes. What can the stupid guy in his family do? I see, he can only do food."

When Su Yu heard the sound, she also came over to comfort Wang, "Maybe Uncle Wu has his own plans. He thinks that an idiot is not good enough for a salesman's girl, so he disagrees with this marriage."

Hearing the eldest daughter's analysis, Wang felt that it made sense, but she was still very angry. "Old Wu, he said it if he had his own plan. He said he was a matchmaker. How would he know if he didn't talk about it? I also wanted to help him out of good intentions. Is it possible to raise a stupid son for a lifetime, but in the end it will also hurt the stupid boy."

Su Yong intentionally let Wang stay away from the old Wu, and persuaded, "If Uncle Wu doesn't agree to this marriage, let's forget about it, mother, you have tried your best, and it would be better for us to find a home for the salesman's girl in the future." family."

Anger to anger, Mrs. Wang is a knife-mouthed bean curd heart. When she thought of the salesman's wife entrusting the girl's marriage to her, she couldn't sit still anymore. She found an old woman who was used to matchmaking to accompany her, and brought two boxes of Rites For dim sum at the bakery, go find Old Wu.

I don't know if the old Wutou was hiding from Wang's on purpose or because the typhoon was coming. For several days, the old Wutou didn't leave the stall.

The sunset glow in the sky was extremely gorgeous, like red fireworks burning to the sky, attracting everyone to come out to watch.

On Dongchang Street, the magistrate's office sent someone to beat the gong, "Everyone in the neighborhood, a typhoon is coming, please close the doors and windows, and don't go out."

Some officers and soldiers took shovels, sticks and other things to clear the undercurrents in the street, and some cleared up the sundries piled up by residents in the corner of the street. don't go to sea...

In the evening, the heat of Dongchang Street faded, and there were many tourists. Many people didn't believe it. They shook their heads and went back to shop with a smile.

The former prefect Liu let them go several times, saying that a typhoon would come every time. As a result, the entire Guangzhou city stayed at home and waited, but the typhoon never came.When Liu Zhifu did not release the news, the typhoon came suddenly several times, which shows that the government's words cannot be trusted.

Many people gathered in the tavern, and some even bet on the typhoon, wanting to see Zhifu Lin's jokes.

"I bet there won't be a typhoon." One person bet ten taels of silver.

"I'll add ten taels."

"I add 20 taels"

...The bet suddenly rose to 300 taels.

There were also people who were dubious, "I believe in prefect Lin, he will hit a typhoon."

"That yellow-haired boy, do you believe his words? Hahaha...you just wait for the money." The person next to him laughed and poured wine into the bowl drunkenly, "Come, drink, drink..."

Su Yue stood in the backyard and marveled at the sunset glow in the sky. She had never seen such a beautiful sunset glow.

"Brother-in-law, do you think a typhoon will come?"

Some of the people living on the island know how to watch the sky, so that they can avoid risks when they go fishing.

Xiao Hei looked up at the sky with a dark face, and the sunset glowed his dark face red.

"I heard from the old man on the island that if there is such a sunset glow in the sky, there may be a change in the sky." After observing for a long time, Xiao Hei said, "It is very likely that there will be a typhoon, but I don't know when the typhoon will come. It could be tomorrow, it could be the day after tomorrow, or in two days."

Xiao Hei was very uncertain, and he also learned a little bit.The experienced old people on the island can not only read astronomy, but also astrology. By observing the stars in the sky at night, they can tell the direction and drive the boat home.

Wang, who didn't believe that there would be a typhoon at first, believed most of what Xiao Hei said, and began to direct people to clean up the things in the front and back yards, and put all the things in the patio and back yard into the house, so that Xiao Hei reinforced the front. The doors and windows of the "Su Ci" shop, and personally took a wooden stick to dredge the culvert in the courtyard.

"I don't know where his father and Ah Qing are? Don't encounter a typhoon on the road." Feeling uneasy, Wang went to the main room to worship the Bodhisattva and burn two sticks of incense.

In Lin's study.

"How is the investigation?" Lin Cheng asked.

Watching the sky last night, there was a beautiful sunset in the sky, and he expected a typhoon. After the Dragon Boat Festival, Guangdong will enter the typhoon season.

Taking advantage of the typhoon coming this time, he sent people to beat gongs to notify the houses, first to inform the residents in the city to prepare early not to go out to reduce damage, and second, to take the opportunity to let Nansong mix with the soldiers who beat the gongs and go to the area around Liyu Lane.

The terrain around Liyu Lane is complicated, and it is just right to get a feel for it.
