At noon the next day, when Lin Ying saw the King Huai Sword and a note on the desk in Shu'er's room, she felt cold.

Lin Ying couldn't help but think with a wry smile, Sister Shu'er, fortunately, I didn't tell you last night...

It seems that I have really mastered the art of forbearance. I thought you had been sleeping, but I never thought that you might have left overnight. Brother Rong of the Zhuge family is the most beautiful and unparalleled. He is really in your heart.

That person.

Shu'er's handwriting is a bit sloppy:

Xiaoying,

Within a month, I will return. The sword is here, speaking with certainty.

Lin Ying placed her slender fingers on the word "shu" on the signature. Sister Shu'er, you don't have to hide or explain in front of me. You and Brother Rong haven't seen each other for three years. You must have a lot of emotions when you go to see him.

Intersect. To solve the doubts in your heart, whether it results in heartbeat or death, within a month, you will come back, and when you come back here, you can see me again. I will be here, waiting for you.

From Yuling to Xianhu, Shu'er still chose the fast, convenient but expensive waterway. Xianhu produces snow silkworms and snow silk silver silk, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. They feel like clouds and mist, as if they melt at the touch of a finger. Since King Zhao of Chu

When he was still alive, Xianhu silver silk was supplied to Linjiang Chu Palace all year round. Even the princes, relatives and dignitaries could only weave a set of snow silkworm costumes during the New Year and festivals. The disaster of the Seven Kings, Zhaohuang closed the palace.

Snow silk is popular among the people and can also be purchased in ordinary weaving shops.

When Shu'er arrived at Xianhu, he saw that although half of the city in Xianhu had been burned down by the war, the remaining buildings were all small and exquisite, with carved beams and painted beams. It seemed that there were many ingenious craftsmen living here. Therefore, although Xianhu was not as grand as Linjiang

, but it was something unique and beautiful. She followed the route Zhuge Calmly explained in Yaowang Mountain three years ago and booked a boat ticket for Zhuge's family at Xianhu Beigang.

There were not many ships going to the East China Sea today, and Shu'er had to wait for half a day, so she bought two sets of women's clothing made of snow silk silk from a shop in Beigang, one in goose yellow and one in light green.

Jiang chose the pink one for her, and there were three sets in total. When paying the bill, she secretly sighed in her heart. If it weren't for the war in Chu, and no one cared about luxury items like snow silkworm silver silk, she wouldn't have spent so much as soon as she arrived in Chu.

She bought three sets of clothes of such high quality. After buying the clothes, she hurriedly prepared some dry food and water.

With nothing to do, she saw a "Zhuge Bank" nearby, so she walked in and asked the shopkeeper: "May I ask if your boss, Mr. Zhuge, lives on the Xuanji Island these days?"

The shopkeeper said: "Young Master came just in time. The young master just returned to the island a few days ago. May I ask, sir, what do you want to see my young master for?"

Shu'er gave the customs clearance document of the Zhuge family of Chu State that Zhuge Congrong left to him and said, "I have an agreement with Master Zhuge. This customs clearance document was given to me by him three years ago, so that I can obtain it."

When I have free time, I will go to Xuanji Island to look for him. I have bought a boat ticket from Xianjiang to the East China Sea this afternoon. I will change to a larger ship in the East China Sea and arrive at Xuanji Island in a few days. However, we have not seen each other for three years. Now I am taking the liberty

I came here without even preparing a greeting card, and I don’t know if Master Zhuge has time to see me."

The shopkeeper said: "Since the young master has already booked the boat ticket, if he wants to hand over a formal greeting card, I'm afraid it's too late at this time. However, our bank sends news to the island, and we often use gulls to deliver messages. The young master can write this small piece of paper

Write a few words on it and I will tie it to an gull for you. The gull flew from Xianhu to Xuanji Island in the East China Sea. It only took two days, much faster than the master's boat. The master set off from Xianhu today and arrived in the East China Sea.

When we change ships in Jintan, my young master must have received your news on the island. The big ships entering the sea in Jintan, if the weather and wind direction are not hindered, will only make a round trip every three days. When the young master arrives in Jintan, he will

Stay at the Zhuge family's inn for a few days. After the young master receives the news, he will definitely send someone to take you to the island."

Shu'er carefully wrote a line of small words on a thin piece of paper given to her by the shopkeeper: "Wuyi swordsmanship has been accomplished, and Fanjing Yan family pays homage."

The shopkeeper folded the note and said, "I wish you a safe journey, sir."

Although the Xianjiang merchant ship will eventually arrive at the Golden Beach of the East China Sea, it will pass through many small towns along the way. Everywhere it goes, cargo will be unloaded, passengers will be registered, and the ship will be parked in the port at night and not sailing, so it will meander around for a long time.

After six days, Shu'er crossed the lush reeds on both sides of the Xianjiang River and saw the vast coast of the East China Sea.

At this time, there were very few passengers left on the merchant ship, and most of them were vendors delivering dry food and alcohol to the restaurants and inns on the Jintan Pier. Shu'er followed them off the ship, asked about the location of the inn run by the Zhuge family, and headed towards the endless view.

and walked towards the East China Sea.

Next to the golden beach, there is a small inn with curls of smoke. A string of white shell wind chimes that jingle with the sea breeze and waves are hung on the three-story wooden house. Clusters of wind chimes are gently swaying in several hanging baskets on the second floor.

Colorful flowers. Shu'er suddenly felt that the so-called end of the world is a simple small building that can only be seen from the end of Kyushu in the east.

That was the Zhuge family's Jintan Inn. When Shu'er walked into the inn, the elderly shopkeeper looked her over, saluted and asked, "Young Master, is Mr. Yan of Chen Guofan Jing?"

Shu'er thought to herself that this gull was really fast at delivering messages. She returned the greeting to the shopkeeper and said, "That's it."

The shopkeeper said: "My young master was very happy when he heard that the young master was coming, and specially asked the old slave to greet him here. Young master, please follow me to the sea view room on the third floor to rest. The young master will arrive in the evening."

The shopkeeper opened the door, and Shu'er couldn't help but be amazed by the scenery and layout of this "ocean view room". Opening the large window and letting the sea breeze blow in your face, you can see the waves of the East China Sea, layer by layer. On the golden beach, every fine sand is

Shining brightly.

In addition to the comfortable soft curtains, there is also a bookcase and a dressing table in the room. Several books on Kyushu scenery are neatly placed on the bookcase, including travel notes about beautiful scenery and delicious food, as well as diagrams of various weapons, and

Anecdotes about chivalrous people and biographies of emperors. Shu'er browsed through them casually, and they were all books she had never seen before. She felt that this book was worthy of being from the end of the world, and even the books on the case were very novel.

There was a round bronze mirror of good quality standing on the dressing table. Shu'er had never seen such a large bronze mirror, and she had never seen her face in the bronze mirror so clearly. She smiled and looked at the bronze mirror.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel that I actually look pretty good, but I can't help but think sadly, I don't know if I look more like my biological father, or more like Empress Xiao in the palace.

Next to the bronze mirror, there was a large elephant bone comb, which was milky white and smooth with clear lines. Shu'er took off the man's bun and let the black hair hang down his shoulders. He picked up the large elephant bone comb and combed his hair.

She casually opened the drawer of the dressing table and was surprised to see that it was filled with pearls and hairpins, including necklaces and earrings. They were all made of excellent-quality gemstones, jade or pearls. She couldn't help but feel excited.
