Chapter 223 A Special Gift

"Are you all leaving tomorrow? It's a rare opportunity for us to see each other."

Lan Qinghe nodded.

"Yes, I have been out for too long. I will leave tomorrow."

Chen Shiyi understood that it was a great honor for her that Brother Lan, with his status, came to attend her wedding banquet.

People like him, any move they make, will cause a stir in the court, so it is better for him to go back as soon as possible.

"I bought a ship in Yuanzhou and brought back some rare things from a small country outside Daye. I asked Bailing to pack them for you to take back."

Lan Qinghe looked shocked and Cui Yongan's eyes widened.

"Where did you say you were going?"

"It is the country of Posati on the other side of Daye. My ship has to go there along the northeastern coast, which takes 32 days. I discovered this sea route, so so far, I am the only one who can use this route."

Cui Yongan blinked.

"Chen Shiyi, do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means you are a hero of Daye. You have opened up a new sea route, which will go down in history."

Chen Shiyi smiled.

"Is that really an exaggeration?"

“That’s not an exaggeration at all.”

Lan Qinghe interrupted.

He looked at Chen Shiyi with a smile.

"Eleven, you are so brave and fearless that you can achieve such success."

Chen Shiyi leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

"I was ignorant at the time. I thought I had my own boat, a powerful captain, and strong guards. I could do what others could do, so I walked out of Daye with my passion. Fortunately, God favored me and I survived the trap set by others and opened up new routes. This is a fortune that no one else has."

Mo Xunyan was really interested.

"Eleven, if I can spare some time, can you take me to the country of Vasati?"

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"Yes, but the conditions are not perfect at the moment. I have just registered this route, and I am not armed yet. After all, I don't know if there will be pirates robbing on the road. I will nail down all these and then write a letter to you. Is that okay?"

"OK."

"I want to go, too."

Lan Yuanfeng, who was standing aside obediently, shouted loudly.

Lan Qinghe frowned, and Lan Yuanfeng was so frightened that he shrank his neck and stopped talking.

"There are too many unknown things on the sea, and it is extremely dangerous. When the route is mature, I will take you there."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Finally everyone left, and Chen Shiyi couldn't help but take out the gift Cui Yongan had given him.

When the black wooden box was opened, a golden turtle appeared inside.

Chen Shiyi picked up the turtle and examined it for a long time, but he couldn't understand why Cui Yongan gave it to him.

"What's the meaning of giving a turtle as a gift?"

Pei Luoshu took the turtle from Chen Shiyi's hand, turned it over for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

"The turtle seems to represent longevity, which doesn't seem to fit our marriage."

Chen Shiyi thought about asking him tomorrow.

"But he is quite generous. This is made of pure gold, and it cost him a lot of money. Maybe his heart is bleeding right now."

Pei Luo smiled, and his expression darkened again.

"Madam, why didn't you tell me these things?"

Chen Shiyi put the turtle into the box.

"I didn't dare to say it before, and now I don't have time to say it. I was wondering why you didn't say anything. It turns out you were holding your breath."

Pei Luoshu smiled helplessly.

"I didn't hold my breath. I felt really sad that I wasn't the first one to know about such an important thing."

Chen Shiyi also felt a little guilty.

"I don't think it's a big deal, so it's okay to tell you. I'll pay attention in the future and tell you the first time I have anything, okay?"

"Okay, I'm just afraid that you'll forget me. I'm your husband."

Chen Shiyi smiled and hugged him.

"Yes, my good husband."

She suddenly remembered something, opened the door and went out. Pei Luoshu followed her out, looking puzzled as to what she was going to do.

After a while, she entered the warehouse and carried a large box.

Pei Luoshu quickly took it.

"What?"

"Take it to the room first and I'll tell you."

Placing the big box on the carved Eight Immortals Table in the room, Chen Shiyi slowly opened the box. A white light spread out, and inside was a piece of clothing as thin as a cicada's wing.

"What is this?"

Pei Luoshu picked up the white clothes, his palms felt delicate and warm.

"This is a piece of clothing that is exclusive to the nobles of the country of Vasati. I finally got a piece. It is said that this is woven from the mercury grass on the seabed. This grass grows in extremely deep seas. It is fluorescent and warm to the touch. It also has an important function: it can be cut by knives. But the nobles have a secret method of making clothes with mercury grass. I asked them to help make one according to your body shape. Would you like to try it?"

Pei Luoshu's eyes were a little moist.

"You mean this Mercury Grass shirt is impervious to swords and guns? Why don't you make one for yourself?"

Chen Shiyi untied the belt of his outer robe and said with a smile.

"Officialdom is dangerous. You only have Fu Feng by your side. You gave me Fu Da and the guards. Who do you think is the most suitable person to wear this dress? Besides, didn't you say that you are my husband and I would think of you first? Well, come and try it on to see if it fits you?"

Pei Luoshu was dressed very well. He was already handsome and handsome, and now with this faintly shiny clothes, he looked as elegant and noble as an immortal. He could only be admired from afar and not desecrated.

Chen Shiyi didn't believe in evil and just wanted to blaspheme him.

She hugged him and kissed him.

“It’s very pretty.”

Pei Luoshu still felt that something was wrong.

"Alter this dress so it will look better on you."

Chen Shiyi smiled.

"You can't just change this dress whenever you want. It's impervious to knives and guns. What can you do with a pair of scissors?"

She suddenly thought of something funny.

"Originally, those nobles were unwilling to give me the Mercury Grass Clothes, but when they heard that I wanted to present them to His Majesty the Emperor of Daye, they reluctantly agreed. I told them about your figure, since they didn't know anyway. Think about it, who would be so stupid to go through so much trouble to come to their country? Of course, they would keep the good things for themselves, and not give them to others."

Pei Luoshu hugged her tightly.

"My lady, you are so kind to me."

Chen Shiyihuan hugged him.

"I'll treat you better."

The next morning, Chen Shiyi and Pei Luoshu saw Lan Qinghe and his group off.

She couldn't help but ask Cui Yongan.

"What do you mean by giving me a turtle?"

Everyone looked at Cui Yongan with different expressions, waiting for his explanation.

Cui Yongan laughed heartily.

"I wanted to give you a crab. It has eight claws and can control everything. How about this meaning? Isn't it good?"

Chen Shiyi asked in confusion.

"So what does this have to do with the turtle you gave me?"

Cui Yongan looked regretful.

"That man had never seen a crab before and couldn't figure out how to make one, so he told me that a turtle also represented the same thing, and then he made a turtle out of gold."

Suddenly, the scene became unusually quiet.

Phew…

I don't know who laughed.
