Chapter 385 Shared Appreciation
After reaching the top floor, Jiang Shu stood on the deck, holding the railing with both hands, and looked at the sea with curiosity from a close distance. The
waves were magnificent and boundless.
The tranquil and deep sea surface was like a mirror, lying quietly between heaven and earth, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Under the sunlight, the sea surface was emitting a faint silver light, dazzling but not glaring.
Looking into the distance with almond eyes, the endless blue made people feel relaxed and happy, and they felt that their mood was broadened.
She finally understood why the sea described in books was always so different.
The beauty of rivers is majestic, the beauty of lakes is quiet and pure, and the beauty of the sea is vast and mysterious.
"I heard that sea water is salty." Jiang Shu chatted with Su Rou beside him.
Su Rou nodded and smiled, "Does the princess want to taste it?"
Jiang Shu said, "Can sea water be drunk?"
Su Rou shook her head, "No, but it is not poisonous, just taste it."
In order to satisfy Jiang Shu's curiosity, Su Rou asked someone to get a bucket of sea water and filled a half cup with a cup for Jiang Shu.
"It's very clean, just lick it, princess."
Jiang Shu took it, put it to her mouth, touched the sea water in the cup with her lips, and then licked it lightly with the tip of her tongue.
It was indeed salty, so salty! It was amazing.
Jiang Shu, who was salty, did not frown, but was in high spirits with joy.
Su Rou looked at the cute and innocent Jiang Shu in front of her, and handed her a cup of tea to rinse her mouth.
The two sat by the railing to enjoy the scenery and chat, while Lu Mingke and Yu Zheng were patrolling and talking at the other end.
The cruise ship did not sail to the deep sea, but sailed along the coastline, patrolling the important port areas of He'an City.
When the sun was high in the sky, the servants set up the tables and chairs and presented seafood.
There were crabs, shrimps, clams, oysters... a whole table of seafood, but no fish.
"Please enjoy, my lord and princess." Su Rou poured fruit wine for the two.
Jiang Shu tried a clam, and it was as delicious as Su Rou said, without any fishy smell.
But she likes to eat crabs and shrimps more, but these two things are more troublesome to eat. In front of Su Rou and Lu Mingke, she always has to take care of her image. When
Jiang Shu was looking at the tempting crabs and worrying, two maids came. After they cleaned their hands, one of them peeled the shrimps and the other one picked the crab meat, and put them on a clean plate for them to eat.
Eating the peeled shrimps and crabs, Jiang Shu couldn't help but sigh that Su Rou and Lu Mingke's arrangements were so thoughtful.
"Is it to the taste of the prince and princess?" Su Rou asked.
Jiang Shu nodded: "It's delicious, I like it very much."
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain, live by the sea, eat by the sea. In Shangjing, they can't eat such delicious seafood.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shu decided to eat more and taste enough at one time.
Seeing that Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu really liked it, Lu Mingke and Su Rou breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, they were afraid that they would not like it, so they asked the chef to prepare a few common dishes, but now it seems that there is no need to serve them.
Bathed in the warm sunshine, blowing the refreshing sea breeze, tasting seafood with fruit wine, Jiang Shu was very satisfied with the meal.
After lunch, the cruise ship returned and arrived at the starting point at 15:00.
Yu Zheng and Lu Mingke walked in front, discussing where to go next.
When getting on the carriage, Jiang Shu looked at the sea and asked reluctantly: "Is the sunset on the sea beautiful?"
Su Rou was stunned for a moment and said: "It's beautiful, does the princess want to see it?"
Jiang Shu nodded honestly and looked at Yu Zheng and Lu Mingke.
Lu Mingke thought for a moment and said, "The fishing village we are going to also has beaches and cliffs where you can watch the sunset."
Jiang Shu was delighted when he heard this and got on the carriage with confidence.
Fishing is one of Pingyang's important industries, carrying nearly half of Pingyang's prosperity.
The carriage swayed for two quarters of an hour and arrived at the largest fishing village in He'an.
After visiting the fishing village, Jiang Shu realized that the people in the fishing village not only fished, shrimped, and crabs, but also went down to the deep sea to catch other marine life.
For example, corals, pearl oysters, etc. Not only that, the fishermen also raised fish, shrimps, and oysters in the shallow sea area.
Jiang Shu was amazed and had a deeper understanding of the coastal fishing industry. As
the sun was about to set, the group finished inspecting the fishing industry and walked towards the quiet beach.
The fishermen living by the sea were used to seeing all the shapes of the sea, and no one was interested in it. No one would come to appreciate the sea view at this time.
Therefore, on the vast beach, there were only Jiang Shu and a few others.
Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu walked in front, stepping on the soft sand, leaving pairs of footprints on the beach.
Su Rou and Lu Mingke did not follow to disturb them, and went to the cliff on the other side.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Su Rou looked at the setting sun that was about to sink into the sea and said, "Come to think of it, we have never watched the sunset by the sea together."
Although they knew each other since childhood, there was a difference between men and women after all, and they did not go out together often, let alone be alone.
Although the two of them could get along openly after getting married, they had never been to the beach for various reasons.
"It turns out that the sunset over the sea is so beautiful." Su Rou sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Lu Mingke stretched out her hand to hold her, and apologized: "If you want to come in the future, I will accompany you."
"You can't break your promise." Su Rou smiled back and leaned lightly on Lu Mingke's shoulder.
Lu Mingke hugged her and responded heavily.
The breeze blew across the sea, shattering the silver light, as if the sky full of stars fell into the sea, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off.
Jiang Shu stared at the sea without blinking, watching the sunset that was about to sink into the sea level, looking forward to the most beautiful moment.
Yu Zheng stood side by side with her on the beach, watching the orange sunset together.
The clouds in the sky were gradually dyed transparent, and the scorching sunset sank into the sea, reflecting the golden waves all over the sea.
The sunset melted gold and scattered it all over the sea, which was so beautiful that it made people forget to breathe.
Yu Zheng turned his head and engraved Jiang Shu's surprised look in his mind.
In two days, they would be separated.
Leng Xing, who was waiting at the edge of the beach, also saw the sunset over the sea for the first time, and his eyes were full of astonishment.
Zhufeng picked up a piece of grass from somewhere, held it in his mouth and looked at the sea nonchalantly.
He looked around and felt that the sunsets were the same everywhere. He didn't understand the difference between the sunsets on the sea and the sunsets on the rivers.
The only difference was that the cold stars didn't hurt him this time.
Thinking of this, Zhufeng felt that today's sunset was not bad, so he decided to watch it a few more times.
After the sunset completely sank into the sea, the sky also darkened.
The group hurried back to the coast and got on the carriage back to the city.
However, no matter how fast they hurried, it was already dark when they returned to Lu's mansion.
After dinner, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng took a bath and went to bed.
Su Rou and Lu Mingke coaxed Lu Sui'an to sleep, and then prepared to go to bed.
The two had just taken off their shoes and got on the bed, but before they lay down, the servants' anxious voices suddenly rang out from outside the room.
"Sir, something happened to the Marquis!"
Lu Mingke was startled when she heard this, and quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes, put on her coat and went to open the door.
"What happened to my father?" Lu Mingke asked anxiously.
The servant hesitated and said, "The Marquis...suddenly had a heart attack... Sir, go and see him."
Su Rou put on her clothes and came over, wanting to go with her.
The servant saw this and said in embarrassment, "Madam said that the young lady doesn't need to go, so let you go."
"Why?" Su Rou was puzzled.
Her father-in-law suddenly fell ill, and as a daughter-in-law, shouldn't she go to visit him to show concern?
Lu Mingke didn't understand either.
The servant didn't know how to explain, and only said that this was Madam Lu's order.
Su Rou had no choice but to give up and let Lu Mingke go.
