Chapter 1004 Shen He Becomes a Family
……
After the discussion was complete, Shao Yun and Beidou split up into two groups.
Shao Yun returned to Qun Yu Pavilion to inform his family and went to Beidou's Death Star to wait for the ship to Xumi.
Beidou stood there, watching Shao Yun's back disappear in the crowd, then turned and walked in another direction.
As she walked, she was thinking about which businesses she should ask. Although her temporary change of route might cause trouble for some merchants, there would always be a few chambers of commerce doing cross-border business that would have needs.
After asking around at every chamber of commerce for a while, she came up with another idea.
Shao Yun is Ningguang's guest of honor. This time, his family is taking their own boat to Xumi, so he must get some money back from Ningguang for the fare. Even if he can't ask for a huge sum of money, he can't make this trip in vain.
Anyway, for Ningguang, this woman, money comes like the wind, so it doesn’t matter if she eats some for herself.
Thinking of this, Beidou simply walked towards the Qun Yu Pavilion.
But as soon as she stepped onto the Qun Yu Pavilion, she was stopped by the Qianyan Army, who said that Lord Ningguang was busy dealing with important matters and could not get away.
Beidou had no idea that things were not peaceful in Wuwangpo. Ningguang was busy sending people to seal off the area and arranging the evacuation of the people in Qingce Village. He was really overwhelmed and had no time to deal with her affairs.
However, Beidou couldn't see Ningguang, so he simply borrowed a pen and paper and quickly submitted a written request for the boat ticket to Ningguang.
Not long after, Ningguang's secretary Bai Xiao rushed over with a money order and handed it to Beidou respectfully.
"Captain Beidou, Lord Ningguang said the fare is a bank draft. Please keep it."
Beidou took the bill of exchange and opened it. The amount on it was not small, a full one million Mora.
That’s five months’ salary for a certain Inazuma civil servant!
She raised her eyebrows. Ningguang was indeed a straightforward person, so she didn't wait any longer and turned around and left with the bill of exchange.
Since the expulsion of the Northern Bank, Liyue's financial industry has returned to the control of traditional money houses, and this type of bill of exchange can only be circulated freely within Liyue.
If you leave Liyue, you may not recognize me...
So, is it really a good thing that the Northern Bank withdrew from Liyue?
However, these things were of no importance to Shao Yun. He was busy taking his family to the Death Star.
After Shao Yun and his family boarded the Death Star, after Shao Yun said this, the crew led them to the cabin.
It was still the room Beidou had arranged for him, and the furnishings had hardly changed.
He turned his head to look at Ying beside him, a smile flashed in his eyes. This was the place where Ying gave him her virginity, it was quite memorable.
I vaguely remember that Ying was quite reserved at the time, and she even made three rules with Shao Yun, prohibiting him from forcing himself on her.
Now, haha, at least when I brought it up, Ying didn't resist...
But there is a problem now. This room was quite spacious for Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng.
At that time, the double bed in the room was big enough for Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng to squeeze together and sleep.
But now, in addition to these three people, there are Shen He, Kong, and Shao Yun’s own daughter "Xi".
The small cabin suddenly seemed crowded. The double bed was obviously not big enough. Ying, Shen He and Xi could barely fit on it.
As a result, there was almost no extra space in the room. It seemed that in the next few days, Paimeng, Shao Yun and Kong, the two and a half people, would have to make do with sleeping on mats on the floor of the cabin.
Just wait until Xumi... I think...
After settling the family, Shao Yun took Ying and quietly walked to the door of the cabin and started talking in private.
Shao Yun reached out and gently touched Ying's smooth face, with a hint of apology in his tone.
"I'm sorry, the conditions on the ship are a little harsh, but we'll be able to go ashore in a few days, and everything will be fine once we reach Xumi."
Ying shook her head slightly. Her focus at the moment was not on where she would live in the next few days.
After all, she is not a spoiled lady. As a senior adventurer of the Adventurer's Association, she has experienced more difficult environments than this.
What she cares about most now is her next destination, "Sumeru".
Ying and Paimon have a good relationship with Narcida.
However, Shao Yun and Nashida's relationship cannot be said to be friendly. It can even be said that they are at war with each other and are fighting to the death...
When she thought of this, Ying's voice lowered, filled with deep worry.
"Sumeru... I don't know what happened to Nashida."
Shao Yun looked at Ying's worried expression and felt a complicated emotion in his heart.
He knew Ying's complicated feelings towards Nashida, but how could the entanglement between him and Nashida be explained in a few words?
If Nashida really doesn't let him enter Xumi City, does he have to force his way in?
Just to ask Kavi to build a ranch for him, the situation has ended up with a war. This feels like an overkill.
Shao Yun sighed softly, his voice very low.
"I hope she can let me into Xumi City, or I hope Kavi can show up in Port Omos, so I don't have to go to see Nashida..."
Just as Shao Yun and Ying were whispering about the various possibilities after arriving at Xumi, soft humming was heard in the cabin.
At this moment, Shen He was sitting by the bed, holding the swaddled baby Xi in his arms.
The baby is about three months old now, and his rosy little face looks healthy.
Babies of this age need to sleep fourteen to eighteen hours a day. Now it is almost noon, and she is naturally sleepy again. Her little mouth mumbles from time to time, making small babbling sounds.
Shen He lowered his eyes and looked at Xi's little face, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently brushed the hair on Xi's forehead, her movements were very cautious, as if she was touching a rare treasure.
Then she hummed an unknown lullaby and gently coaxed the child to sleep.
"Uh huh huh~"
Xi liked this melody very much. Her little body, which had been twisting slightly, gradually calmed down. She rubbed her little head in Shen He's arms, found a comfortable position, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Even though Xi had fallen asleep, Shen He still kept holding her in his arms, motionless, with the smile in his eyes growing more intense.
Shao Yun listened to Shen He's soft lullaby and watched her take care of her daughter so wholeheartedly. He turned to Ying and said with relief, "Shen He seems quite happy."
Then, Shao Yun's thoughts drifted back to the scene in the Qun Yu Pavilion. He still found it hard to believe, so he said to Ying:
"I still didn't expect that you would agree to let Shen He live with us."
Ying raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? You don't want Shen He to live with us?"
Shao Yun quickly shook his head and explained sincerely, "No, you're overthinking it. I support every decision you make."
"Shen He is a very nice person. With her helping to look after Xi, you will have a companion while taking care of the child."
Ying snorted proudly, raised her chin slightly, and reminded:
"That's more like it. From now on, Shen He is our family. You are not allowed to bully her, otherwise I will not forgive you."
Shao Yun thought to himself how could he possibly bully Shen He? If he had to bully someone, he would bully you Ying!
He reached out and cupped Ying's cheek, revealing a malicious smile, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not bully her."
"But I will definitely bully you in the future! Don't beg for mercy then, okay?"
Ying listened to Shao Yun's ambiguous and teasing words, reached out and slapped away Shao Yun's two hands that were holding her cheeks, and said solemnly in a serious tone:
"Hmm... That's not serious! I gave you meat last night, so why don't you just eat some vegetarian food these days?" After saying that, she deliberately put on a stern face.
Shao Yun looked at Ying's hypocritical look, especially when she was pouting slightly and breathing out "Haji Ying"!
She couldn't help laughing and agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I understand. I'll listen to you."
"By the way, Beidou's boat ticket costs a meal and drinks, I still need to go prepare some."
Ying nodded, a look of concern in her eyes, and said, "Okay, I understand... Remember not to get drunk, otherwise I will throw you into the sea to sober you up!"
Of course, this is just a joke. How could Ying be willing to do that?
Shao Yun smiled and said "Okay", reached out to rub Ying's hair, and walked towards the side of the ship.
……
A cool breeze blew when the hatch was pushed open. Shao Yun stepped onto the deck via the wooden steps. The midday sun immediately cast a layer of warm golden gauze over his shoulders.
He raised his hand to block the glare, thinking about the pairing of appetizers, when suddenly a very light breeze sounded past his ears.
When I looked up, I saw Maple Leaf leaping from the edge of the observation deck like a maple leaf.
When he was only half a meter away from the deck, the Eye of God on his waist lit up slightly, and his falling momentum slowed down, landing steadily on the deck.
"Mr. Shao Yun." Wan Ye greeted while raising his hand to tidy up his hair that was messed up by the wind.
"Hello, Wan Ye, it's been a long time." Shao Yun took two steps closer and greeted him, "You look well. How have you been lately?"
"Everything is fine." Manye nodded slightly and said, "By the way, are you going to Inazuma?"
Seeing that Wan Ye mistakenly thought that his family was going to Inazuma, Shao Yun waved his hand and said, "No, we are going to Xumi."
Wan Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the Guyun Pavilion not far away, and recalled the routes of the Death Star's recent plans.
"Sumeru? But the Death Star hasn't had any plans to go to Sumeru in the past three months."
"Beidou made a temporary change." Shao Yun raised his chin towards Liyue Harbor and added,
"She went to the docks to look for cargo bound for Xumi. She should tell you more when she comes back."
Fengyuan Manye was not surprised to hear that Beidou had temporarily changed the route. He just asked casually:
"I see. So, what are you going to do now, Mr. Shao Yun?"
Shao Yun smiled and explained, "My boat ticket money is for treating Beidou to a meal, so I plan to get some snacks."
Fengyuan Manye heard this and realized that this was the case. He did not think about it any more and just sincerely wished him well: "Oh, then I wish you and Captain Beidou a happy drink."
After exchanging greetings with Wan Ye, Shao Yun began to prepare snacks.
He not only prepared some common street dishes, such as braised kelp knots, salted edamame, peanuts, etc.
Vegetarian dishes alone would definitely not be enough, so he also specially prepared a hard dish - charcoal-grilled deer legs.
This charcoal-grilled venison leg is so fragrant that it makes people salivate.
The deer legs are roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an attractive color. The sliced deer hind legs are even more appetizing.
The origin of this deer leg is the brown deer that Shao Yun hunted in Nata.
Although most of the deer was stewed into soup, Shao Yun still specially kept the best deer hind leg in case of emergency.
Now, the deer's hind leg finally comes in handy.
Shao Yun sprinkled some seasonings on the deer leg and then roasted it on the charcoal fire. After a while, the aroma of the deer leg spread.
Deer meat goes well with wine, but I wonder if Beidou will have a nosebleed the next day...
