From the moon to the middle of the sky, the tide that had receded in the first half of the night slowly rose and rose again, gradually submerging the reef underneath.

Pei Youan and Jiafu stood on a high place, watching the boat carrying Dong Chengzhu and Xiao Yu gradually go away.

The young man stood on the bow, reluctantly, and kept looking at the direction of the reef until the two reefs stood farther and farther away, completely disappearing from sight.

The rock that Gaffer had sat on in the middle of the night was submerged by the tide, and the sampan floated up. The hull swayed from side to side with the dark waves of the sea hitting the reef, making a slight sound of water waves.

Pei Youan took her back to the boat.

Tomorrow morning, Yang Yun will drive the carriage out of the city again and pick him up. The two will spend the rest of the night on the boat.

Pushed by the dark tide at the bottom of the boat, the small boat drifted away slowly towards the shore.

Jiafu lay leaning against Pei Youan's arms, covered with his clothes, sleepy, and slowly closed his eyes.

Pei Youan never closed his eyes overnight.

Most of the time, he lowered his head and looked at the half-sleeping face of the person in his arms that was outlined by the night. She closed her eyes and rubbed her face into his arms as if she had had some restless dreams. At that time, pat her back until she fell asleep peacefully again.

When Gaffer woke up, the ship had returned to the sea col between the shallows last night, and it was dawn.

The carriage that the two had sat in last night was parked beside the Erythrina grove in the distance.

The sampan drifted slowly with the waves, drifting farther and farther, and completely disappeared above the boundless sea. Everything from last night, the golden-faced dragon king, and the boy named Yu, think of it, as if it was just last night. It's just part of the boating sea dream.

When the two returned to the city, when the carriage passed the city gate, there seemed to be a new official notice posted there. There were crowds in front of them, some were noisy and some sighed.

Pei Youan asked Yang Yun to stop the carriage. After a while, Yang Yun came back and said that the state government announced that the port would be closed and all ships were forbidden to go to sea. As for when it would be restored, it was not mentioned.

The last time the warehouse caught fire, the Zhen family's loss was not light, and now they have to ban the sea. The impact on the Zhen family is even greater, and it can even be said to have cut off the wealth. Seeing Pei Youan's brows slightly frowned, Jiafu seemed to be thinking about something, afraid that he would be embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "My brother suffered that last time, and the whole family still has lingering fears. In addition, the grandmother's health is poor, and the family is trying to slow down. I also thought that the government will have an announcement. Once it's out, just wait slowly."

Pei Youan returned to his senses and nodded slightly.

When they arrived at Zhen's house, the two of them went in. After washing and changing clothes, Mother Liu and the girl led by Sandalwood brought meals and placed them neatly on the small table.

Gaffer was already hungry. He sat down and ate. When he ate the plate of braised duck with silver silk, he thought that the duck was delicious, so he took a piece of it and brought it to his mouth.

He glanced around and saw that the servant serving by the side had turned his face away, smiled, opened his mouth to take it, and then took a piece of cherry honey meat that Garve liked and put it in her bowl.

Gaffer put it in his mouth and ate it. Seeing that his eyes fell on his lips, he subconsciously stuck out the tip of his tongue, licked it, licked off the sugar juice on his lips, and smiled sweetly at him. .

Pei Youan looked away.

After eating, the two went to visit their grandmother's bed.

Hu's body has gradually improved in these days. After spending a while, Meng said that he was there and told them to rest.

Pei Youan asked someone to return to those greetings that had piled up one after another. He stayed behind closed doors and accompany Jiafu back to the room. After a nap, under the window of Nanxuan, he was neatly dressed and tied with a waistband, still meticulous, Jiafu But it seems that I have never satisfied my siesta, with apricot face, peach cheeks, lazy comb of blue silk, casually wearing a lake-blue home-style dress, revealing a half-inch crescent white tube top on the chest, a pair of jade feet, without stockings, hanging on the edge of the couch , Half of his body, leaning lazily on his shoulders.

Pei Youan told her the game book, and based on memory, he recovered one by one the endgame that was messed up by her before the two had played on the boat that day. It was not bad at all. He said: "At that time, your top 30 With five moves, I played very well. I couldn't find any flaws. Only after thirty-five moves, I was eager to set up the game, but the experience was still lacking, so I made a defeat. I will teach you how to beat me."

He concentrated on the move, fixed his eyes on the chessboard, without looking at her, and said: "...Is it true, if you walk like this, you will have no scruples about you. Losing will not hurt yourself." , Win, there are unexpected gains, this side is a worry-free robbery..."

Jiafu had a plum in her mouth, and her cheeks bulged slightly, her mouth kept humming, her little hand stretched out to the side of a twelve grid of white jade inlaid with fruits such as lychees, green plums, preserved peaches, hazelnuts, etc. The box, took out a dried apricot, turned over, fell on his back on his lap, raised a jade arm, and raised the dried apricot to his lips with a smile.

Pei Youan's voice was cut off, he lowered his head, his eyes fell on her face, and stopped.

The warm air in the afternoon, with the scent of flowers that filled the courtyard, came in from the window, gently rolling the half-rolled blue curtain, and the curtain made a fine squeaking sound. Sunlight leaked in through the curtain, followed the swaying curtain, leaping and falling onto the woman's upside-down face. He didn't know if it was because the spring was too bright or the face was too beautiful, he was a little dazzled for a while.

"Chess is being repaired. Get up and sit down."

Pei Youan said, his voice was a little dry and his expression was serious.

Gaffer pouted: "You eat it."

Pei Youan turned aside his face: "Sour, I won't eat it."

Gaffer spit out the green plum covered with crystal saliva, took a bite of the dried apricot, revealing a small white canine tooth: "It's not sour, you take a bite! You can teach me after you eat it."

Pei Youan contained the dried apricots, the sour and sweet taste, slowly melted under his tongue, and body fluid was born in his mouth.

He looked at the girl who leaned back on his lap and brazenly showed him a spoiled and pitiful girl, and suddenly remembered an explanatory note that he had never read before.

"Jiao", one "female" and one "Joe", Qiao's original intention is to "arch", saying that a woman is like a horse, arching her back to be wild.

"Big cousin, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Gaffer looked down at her with a strange look, so she raised her hand to him, opened her white and tender five fingers, and shook it lightly like a beckoning.

Pei Youan talked with the body fluid under her tongue, swallowed the fruit in her mouth, and gently lifted her from her lap. After getting down, she turned her back and said: "I heard that Qingyuan Mountain has a good view. I have been in Quanzhou for a few days. Haven't been there yet, you can take me for a walk while you are free in the afternoon."

Jiafu happily responded, and immediately stepped down from the couch, told someone to talk to Meng, then combed her hair and changed clothes, and asked her brother Zhen Yaoting to go with him, but he refused to go, so he followed him. People took one or two people with them, and went out of the Chaotian Gate in the north of the city. They were all stunned to Qingyuan Mountain. They had some fun, and they returned in the evening. Although their legs and feet were sore, they were very happy, because Pei Youan said Tomorrow, I will go to Zimao Mountain in the west of the city again. I want to go with her to visit all the mountains and rivers of Quanzhou, but I don’t want to go back home. So I entered the door and the concierge greeted me: "Uncle Pei, Master Chen in the prefecture in the afternoon personally Come here, and I sent a letter from the court, saying it was for your uncle."

Pei Youan took the letter, turned on the paint, took a look, and then put it down, his expression was as usual, as if he had expected it, he only looked at Jiafu, showing guilt, and whispered: "Fuer, long live call me back to Beijing It didn’t take long for you to go home, and your grandmother’s illness did not heal. You stay here for the time being. I will return to Beijing first. I will pick you up after a while, okay?"
