The sky is getting darker, but the wind is getting stronger, causing everything in the sky and earth to change shape. From time to time, you can hear the sound of tiles falling to the ground. The strong wind blows in the huge mansion and makes the doors and windows snap. Like thunder.
Mo and Wu walked forward along the corridor. When they turned a corner, they were hit by a wild wind. For a moment, they couldn't even breathe or open their mouths.
Wu Jin rolled up her long sleeves on her arms and walked in front of Mo Lingfeng to block the evil wind.
The lantern was swaying back and forth in the wind, and the candlelight inside was also swaying unsteadily. It also blew Wu Jin's gown tightly against his body, making his arms even longer and his shoulders flaming.
He was like a big bird, protecting the little Mo Lingfeng behind him.
The wind carried the light and heat from Wu Jin's body, passed under Wu Jin's armpits, and fell on Mo Lingfeng, stirring back and forth in her heart.
The two of them walked from the corridor to the outside of the second hall one after another. Just when they were about to part ways, Yin Bei ran over against the wind and said loudly: "Girl, Shi Yuan is here and wants to see you!"
Even though the sound was so loud, it took some effort for Mo Lingfeng to hear it clearly amidst the howling wind.
She stooped slightly, and because of the wind, her clothes stuck to her back, rubbing the injured area. When she heard Shi Yuan coming, she straightened up slightly and waved to Wu Jin.
Wu Jin bent over and leaned over. Their bodies were still facing each other, but their heads were slightly staggered.
A burst of hot air blew in his ears, and Mo Lingfeng's voice came in: "The person returning the ship is here."
He immediately turned his head and laughed, his head moved, and there was a moist feeling on his ears immediately, as if it was brushing against Mo Lingfeng's lips. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned away, maintaining the posture of whispering. He held his breath and suppressed his heartbeat, but his face turned red uncontrollably, so red that it almost bled.
He looked at Mo Lingfeng with his peripheral vision. Mo Lingfeng was messy in the wind and did not notice the sudden change.
He blushed and replied calmly: "I'll go see him."
Mo Lingfeng didn't hear what he said clearly. He said "Ah", took a step back, stretched out his hands, held his head, and asked him to look at her: "What?"
Wu Jin looked directly into her eyes, her lips, and her heartbeat made a "dong-dong" sound, which was deafening to her own ears. A drop of sweat dripped from her temples, and was blown away by the wind.
He let these slender hands imprison him, and everything from his breathing to his soul was in a state of chaos.
He took a step back and got out of Mo Lingfeng's hands. After his breath calmed down a little, he said loudly: "I'll go see him!"
Mo Lingfeng retracted her hand, nodded, pulled her clothes behind her back, waved her hand at Wu Jin, and walked into the second hall.
Yin Bei stood still and shouted, "Where are you going to meet him?"
"Front hall."
Yin Bei immediately went to invite people into the front hall. Wu Jin held on to the door frame, and the enthusiasm that had just risen slowly dissipated. He squinted his eyes in the wind, stepped forward, and walked to the front hall.
Shi Yuan stood waiting at the front porch. Because of the strong wind, his clothes were blowing loudly, and the tall Dongpo scarf on his head was loose and tilted to one side. He quickly reached out to help him, but his hands fell to the side. As soon as he raised his hand, his sleeves were blown by the wind and immediately covered his head.
He quickly put down his hands, not thinking about hooking the turban and cap on his head with his sleeves. He took the Dongpo turban with him and dropped it to the ground, letting it roll away in the wind. His hair quickly became scattered in the wind. The hood has become two big ones.
It's over.
He was in a hurry, grabbing two wide sleeves with one hand, secretly hating that he wanted to save face and suffer the consequences. If he had come wearing narrow sleeves, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation.
Bending against the wind, he ran after his hat. He fished for it three times in a row, but failed to catch it. When he was about to give up the hat, he picked it up with one hand, patted the dust, and handed it to him. On hand.
He hurriedly took the Dongpo scarf in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw it was Wu Jin.
Wu Jin wore a soft bun on her head and a lake-green gown with wide sleeves. However, he stood steadily in the wind, weighing the sleeves with his right hand, but he did not look embarrassed. He smiled and said: "Quickly go into the house, the wind is strong."
Shi Yuan couldn't help but straighten his waist, holding the Dongpo scarf in his left hand, pressing his right hand on his abdomen, holding his left sleeve, and followed him into the house.
Walking into the house, a few strands of hair hung down on the skirt of his clothes. Shi Yuan became more and more embarrassed. Suddenly he remembered something and quickly put his hat on the small table. He turned around and went out to bring in a food box: "Zongzi made at home."
He reached out to comb his hair: "It's really disrespectful."
Wu Jin waved his hand: "It's windy today, come here and take care of yourself."
He led Shi Yuan to the flower hall on one side of the front hall. The flower hall was the same as the front hall, with simple furnishings. The tables, chairs and couches were dull in color and monotonous, without any interest. However, the utensils were complete. Behind the screen of the couch, there were combs, bronze mirrors and other items.
Shi Yuan also became solemn, carefully combed his hair, put on his hat, and straightened his clothes before going out to salute Wu Jin.
The two sat opposite each other at the bottom, and a servant made hot tea. Shi Yuan said to Wu Jin: "I heard from Cheng San that Miss Mo has a sweet tooth, so I brought some candied date rice dumplings. My sister made them. Please don't dislike it, Miss Mo." .”
Wu Jin asked someone to send the food box to the second hall and said warmly: "Thank you very much."
"I want to thank you so much," Shi Yuan said solemnly, "Thanks to the meeting gift that Miss Mo gave my sister, my sister was saved from a difficult situation. Now my sister is married to her husband, and it is all because of Miss Mo."
After he thanked her, he said hesitantly: "Yesterday I was just a little helper, but today Miss Mo wants to give me a lucky boat. I really deserve it and I don't dare to accept this gift."
Wu Jin smiled slightly: "Don't shirk it, Miss Mo doesn't just give people things."
Shi Yuan said: "No, I saw the ship registration sent by the house. The ship is 5,000 pieces in size and can carry 600 people. It is already the largest lucky ship. Even when our Shi family is at its peak, we have to build a ship like this. A big ship requires the efforts of the whole family, and I don’t even dare to think about buying a share in it, let alone giving the ship directly to me.”
Before that, he knew that Mo Mansion was rich and wealthy, the Nanzhu that Mo Lingfeng gave away casually, and the millions of coins that Mo Jiedushi gave to the country were all just a figure above this wealth. However, Mo Lingfeng casually gave away a blessing. After getting on the boat, he realized that he had underestimated Mo Fu.
Not only him, but perhaps the entire Kuanzhou City and even the dynasty underestimated the financial resources of the Mo family.
But this gift was too big, and it made him feel dizzy. He walked as if he was in a cloud, and he didn't know where he was. It wasn't until dinner that his heart slowly fell to the ground.
After landing, reason returned to his mind. He thought that this ship could not be accepted without reward.
Wu Jin did not persuade him to accept it, but instead asked: "You often walk on the pier, do you know anyone from the boat shop?"
Shi Yuan didn't know why. Seeing that Wu Jin didn't mention the boat, he couldn't say anything more hastily, so he replied: "We know him."
"I have something to ask you to do," Wu Jin took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to him, "This can only be accomplished if you accept the lucky ship."
