Chapter 72 Su Xi Gets Married (Part 2)

As soon as we arrived at the pier, we saw colorful starfish swimming boredly in the water beside the pier.

When I came back last time, I was talking to the second aunt of the Su family and didn't notice when it left when it was drunk.

Have you been staying at this pier all the time?

"Little girl, you finally came out by yourself! This morning, I saw your uncle's boat leave, and I guessed that you would come out again, so I waited for you here!"

The six-pointed starfish leaped over to Su Qian.

"Wow, you can guess that? You can?"

Su Qian cooperated and gave a compliment.

"Of course! I am the smartest star in the entire sea family!"

The six-pointed starfish said with a little bit of arrogance, "By the way, I'll be waiting for you here for a few days. I actually want to tell you something."

"What is it?"

Su Qian raised her eyebrows.

"Recently, my spy in the mermaid tribe said that the mainland across the way seemed to have gone to see the Mermaid King and seemed to have discussed something. The Sea King tribe may have a big move recently, so don't even think about going to the deep sea recently!"

The six-pointed starfish told Su Qian the news he had obtained.

"You can actually plant spies in the mermaid tribe? Is this true?"

Su Qian was slightly surprised. She never expected that this old starfish in front of her could be so human!

"Of course. Although I am only a peripheral member and not a core member, I have been able to avoid many hunts over the past few thousand years!"

The six-pointed starfish still sounded proud, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have raised so many pearl clams!"

Oh~

so it is!

So the girl in the old starfish's mouth is most likely a female starfish!

Starfish also have love!

Just as Su Qian was gossiping about the romantic anecdotes of the six-pointed starfish, the six-pointed starfish spoke again, "By the way, last time I found out that you, little girl, particularly like those gold and silver things. This time I came here, I plan to take you to a good place!"

"What good place?"

Su Qian raised her eyebrows slightly. Could it be another shipwreck?

How many large ships have been lost at the bottom of the sea over the years?

"Keep it a secret for now, you'll know when you get there! It must be a good place anyway! Hehe!"

The six-pointed starfish whispered, "Shall we set off now?"

"You have to wait a moment!"

Su Qian shook her head gently, "My sister Xi is getting married tomorrow, I need to go buy some dowry, let's go after her affairs are settled!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you! Oh, and give me a few more bottles of that wine you brought out last time. I love the taste!"

There is anticipation in the six-pointed starfish's voice.

"There are some that don't, but there are some that do! Drink slowly, don't get yourself drunk to death!"

Su Qian couldn't help but laugh and spoke softly to it.

"Don't worry, there's no way I could get drunk to death. At most I just slept for a while!"

"Okay, I'll give you a few jars. Come back to me when you're done drinking!"

Su Qian exchanged a few small jars of fine wine from the market and placed them on the bow of the boat.

Afterwards, the wine altar disappeared, probably because it was taken into its own space by the six-pointed sea star.

The six-pointed starfish jumped from Su Qian's shoulder into the sea, "Little girl, go and do your thing! I'm going to slowly taste my fine wine. When you're done, just call me at the dock!"

Then it disappeared onto the sea.

Su Qian shook his head helplessly and rowed the fishing boat towards the outside of Shimen Customs.

Half an hour later, Su Qian stopped the boat, looked at the balance in the account, and started buying things in large quantities.

First, go to the living area and buy eight large wooden boxes, put them on the boat, and open their lids.

I bought dozens of pieces of the finest brocade, and I picked the ones with fresh and beautiful colors, such as goose yellow, crimson purple, scarlet red, moon white, lake green and light blue.

I bought some in various nice colors.

Of course, when getting married, you still have to buy a few more red ones!

Su Qian bought four large boxes of brocade alone.

Next came the ready-made clothes. All the ready-made clothes in the market were made of the finest satin, which Su Qian had found eye-catching before, so she went to Haiping Town to buy half the fabric for the ready-made clothes.

This is a big event for Su Xi, and she is going back to the capital soon, so she must prepare some good ready-made clothes.

Just for ready-made clothes, Su Qian prepared four large boxes.

In fact, in ancient times, dowries also included bed frames, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc. Unfortunately, these are not available in the Suzhou and Qianhai trading markets at present.

Su Xi and the others also had to travel a long distance, so even if they had any, it would not be convenient to carry them.

The fabric of the clothes was light and not easily damaged, making it convenient for her to take them back to the capital.

After thinking for a while, Su Qian exchanged for a fine sandalwood box, and put four sets of pure gold head ornaments and some silver ornaments from the trading market into it.

With this headgear, she can also gain a foothold in her husband's family.

Su Qian took out two hundred-liang silver bills from the space in the jade pendant, folded them neatly and placed them in the box.

Then she used the brocade bag that Gu Luyun had embroidered for her and filled it with six grape-sized pearls.

From then on, these things became Su Xi's confidence in her husband's family.

After a careful inspection, Su Qian closed the sandalwood box. There was a small lock on the box, and he could hand it to Su Xi later.

After sorting out all of this, Su Qian put the things into the jade pendant space.

There is exactly 480,000 yuan in the account now, and Su Qian has no intention of using it. She wants to save it to open the Wanjie Trading Market!

Then she leaped into the sea.

Following the previous route, Su Qian found the habitat of Boston and caught hundreds of Boston into the space.

Sea cucumbers are high in nutritional value. Catch as many as possible, process them and dry them when we get back. Then let Su Xi and the others take some back to the capital.

Later, she happened to come across a school of tuna and caught a lot of them. The meat of this fish is very nutritious and is perfect for cooking.

Afterwards, she caught a lot of squid, which were most suitable for grilling.

Seeing that it was almost done, Su Qian returned to the fishing boat.

After putting a dozen Boston fish, twenty to thirty sea cucumbers, and a few tuna into the cabin, she rowed the boat towards Dragon Fish Island.

When we got back to the dock, Uncle Su and his friends had not returned yet.

Su Qian exchanged two large wooden barrels from the market, put the fish and shrimp in the cabin into them, and brought them to the dock.

Back on the boat, she waved her hand and the eight large boxes were put back on the deck.

Su Qian found a piece of oilcloth to cover the box to prevent it from getting wet in the rain at night.

Afterwards, the fishing boat's anchor was fixed to the column at the pier, and Su Qian returned to the stone fort carrying the two large buckets of seafood.

Su Xi and the others were not there at the moment. I heard from Gu Luyun and Su's second aunt that they went to the beach behind to pick up clams.

Even the dragon and phoenix fetuses went with them.

Only the two sisters-in-law were left to rush to prepare the wedding dresses that Su Xi and Ye Xun would wear tomorrow.
