Chapter 7: The Night of Mirror Lake
Before the sun showed his face early in the morning, Min Yan got up early to prepare for today's trip, and Wen Fu, who was in the same room with him, naturally couldn't sleep well, and he had to get up early to freshen up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Min Yan saw that Wen Su was pulling her hair, so she hurriedly went over to help, "Su'er, let me pull it for you, put on a beautiful bun, today is to go out to play, how can you dress up beautifully." Min Yan's hand nimbly shuttled between the warm hair, and it didn't take long for him to pull it up. "Su'er, sister, let's give you a good look!" Min Yan's face showed a proud expression, making Wen Xu chuckle.
"Good-looking, good-looking, I like it so much, my sister is the best in the world, and there is nothing better than my sister, hehe. Wen Su couldn't help but make fun of Min Yan.
"Okay, Su'er, you actually made fun of me, see how I clean you up. Min Yan threw himself in the direction of Wen Su and made an itchy gesture, and the two girls made a mess in the room, bursting with laughter, and this morning was extremely happy.
"Okay, sister, my good sister, I just admit my mistake, don't scratch me. In the end, Wen Xu admitted defeat first, she was originally a quiet person, she rarely messed with people like this, and she definitely couldn't fight the crazy and fun-loving Min Yan.
"It would be nice to beg for mercy earlier, now that you know how good I am, see if you dare to make fun of me. Min Yan stopped when he saw Wen Su begging for mercy, but he still couldn't help but threaten.
"Good sister, no, never. Let's go out, the sun has shown his face. "Wen Xu has learned Min Yan's ability to love madness and trouble, so it's better to follow her, otherwise you really don't want to go out today.
Min Yan then remembered that he was going out, so he hurriedly called the maid to change his clothes, and hurriedly got these things out in a hurry.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Lan Yue and Min Jiang were directing the servants to carry things to the carriage there, and when they saw Wen Xu and Min Yan walking towards this side, they hurriedly greeted them, "Su'er, Min Yan, you are here, we can load our things and set off, we slept well last night!"
"My brother is relieved, he knows that he is going out today, and I went to bed early with Su'er last night, and we had a good night's sleep, and our spirits are so good. "Min Yan was very excited last night, she was very happy when she saw Jin Feng yesterday, and she can go out again today, how could she sleep well, but she talked with Wen Su for most of the night last night, but Xu Er really couldn't bear it and fell asleep before she stopped. But there was no trace of exhaustion on Min Yan's face, which showed how excited she was.
Wen Su smiled on the side, and did not debunk Min Yan's lies, although she didn't sleep well last night, she didn't feel tired, and she was looking forward to today's trip. The scenery of Southern Qin is different from that of the North, the gentle and chic beauty of the water town is not as vast and rough as the Northern Country, Wen Su likes the beautiful scenery of Southern Qin very much, and it is also a happy thing for her to have the opportunity to travel.
"Su'er, Min Yan, the car is ready, let's get in the car!" Min Jiang took the lead in helping Lanyue into the carriage, and then helped Wen Xu and Min Yan, and waited until they were all in the carriage and sat down, before stepping on their horses and walking in front of the carriage.
Along the way, the three women chatted happily in the carriage, but most of them were Min Yan and Lan Yue chattering over there, while Wen Su listened on the side, showing a faint smile, and occasionally opened the curtains to look at the scenery outside.
"Wow, look, there's a lot of people flying kites over there! Min Yan danced happily like a child, looking at the group of kite-flying children on the grass, with a look of envy.
"You, like a child, so old and still the same, screaming at every turn, the person who is going to marry someone, and so childish, see who dares to marry you. Lan Yue saw Min Yan's childlike appearance, and couldn't help but make fun of her.
Min Yan is a person who doesn't admit defeat easily, seeing Lan Yue making fun of her like this, she was not to be outdone, "Love to marry or not, if he wants to marry me or not, really, that's it, it's not bad, just be happy." In Min Yan's view, marriage is not a shackle, why bother to change herself, she doesn't want to, she is living a good and happy life now.
"You, it's just that this mouth is unforgiving, and when people say one sentence about you, you have to top ten sentences. Lan Yue stretched out her hand and nodded Min Yan's forehead, with a doting face.
"Hehe, that's my character, I can't change it. Sister-in-law is more tolerant. Although Min Yan knew that Lan Yue was not malicious, she couldn't help but talk back.
The two of you said one sentence to me, laughing constantly, and before you knew it, Jinghu had arrived. Mirror Lake is located at the foot of the mountain outside Nancy City, the water of the lake is clear all the year round, smooth as a mirror, so the people of Nancy City call it "Mirror Lake", Mirror Lake also has a beautiful legend, it is said that if two men and women get married in Mirror Lake, they will be happy for a long time, so there are many young men and women who come here.
The carriage stopped in the open space not far from Jinghu, "Jinghu has arrived, you guys come down quickly, let's get on the painting boat early, there are really a lot of people here today, we have to get on the boat quickly, there will be more people coming in a while." Min Jiang immediately saw the grand scene on the other side of the Mirror Lake, so he had to urge them to hurry over. The Mirror Lake is the most beautiful in spring all year round, so there are many people who come here to play, and there are many young men and women who come to the legend of the Mirror Lake, hoping to find their good relationship here.
The three of them got out of the carriage and quickly walked to the painting boat with Min Jiang, attracting many people's side eyes along the way, the three beautiful women together are eye-catching, Min Jiang felt upset when he saw the eyes of these people, and rushed forward with Lan Yue's hand, regardless of Wen Su and Min Yan, who were left behind, Min Yan saw that his brother was pulling his sister-in-law to rush forward, so he had to trot with Wen Xu to keep up, and he was out of breath along the way.
Min Yan began to complain when he got on the painting boat, "I said brother, do you want to be so jealous, others just look at your sister-in-law twice, you are nervous like this, and you don't care about the life or death of me and Su'er, what kind of brother are you, so that I and Su'er run to death." Along the way, Min Yan and Wen Xu did run enough, and they were not used to others staring at them, but Min Yan just couldn't help but say brother, who told him to only care about his sister-in-law and didn't care about her life or death.
"I think you are very energetic, you still have the spirit to speak, how can you look like you are going to die or live. Besides, which man is willing to let his wife be stared at, you will know when you get married in the future. "I was able to come out for a trip, and with my beloved wife by my side, Min Jiang was also in a good mood, so he talked to Min Pipe.
Min Yan knew that he couldn't fight his brother, so he had to ask his sister-in-law for help, "Sister-in-law, look at my brother, he always bullies others, you have to help others make decisions." ā
"Oh, you two don't quarrel like children, okay, we're out to play, enjoy the scenery, and there's a lot of laughter, and you're not afraid of people's jokes, they're all such big people." After saying that, Lan Yue couldn't help laughing, Wen Su on the side was also full of smiles, and the two who were arguing couldn't help laughing, and there was laughter on the painting boat.
"Young master, the tea and snacks are ready, and the slave and maid go down first. The maids set up the melons, fruits and tea and retreated, the four of them sat down next to the table, the painting boat is from Shangshu Mansion, sometimes Xi Ping will take Yan Mei to walk here, they met here back then, here they have many good memories. Usually there are people who watch over the boat, so you can swim here at any time. The sun has been rising for a long time, and there is still a faint mist on the surface of the lake, and the lake is surrounded by willow trees. The lake is so vast that you can't see the edges, and it feels like you're on a mirror, and the boat glides across the mirror, leaving a circle of water ripples that gradually swing into the distance.
The four of them had lunch on the painting boat, and they got together to drink tea, and Lan Yue asked the maids to set up the tea sets and began to make tea.
"Xu'er, come and taste what our Mingshan oolong in Nancy tastes like. Lan Yue poured a cup for Wen Xu first, and then handed a cup to the others present.
"Well, it's delicious, sweet and slightly bitter, the tea is fragrant, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant after drinking, which is the best in tea. Wen Xu sighed while drinking tea, she still has more research on tea, her mother liked to taste tea before her death, and her father collected a lot of famous tea for her mother in order to please her mother, and sometimes she would prepare a copy, and over time she learned the kung fu of tea tasting.
"Drink more if it's delicious, there are a lot of teas in the house, all kinds of them, and when you go back, you will ask my mother to prepare some in your room." Min Yan saw that Wen Xu liked to drink tea, and he couldn't wait to give her all the tea in the house, but Xu Er rarely showed her liking for anything.
"Then I thank my sister for being here. Wen Xu knew that Min Yan was good to her, and this feeling made her feel warm and cherished very much.
In the afternoon, Jinghu Lake was immersed in the golden sunlight, occasionally drifting through a gust of breeze, it seemed lazy and quite amorous, the three women bathed in the sun, but also drowsy, a lazy style, Min Jiang had already hid in the upper wing of the painting boat to take a nap.
The good times are always short-lived, and gradually the sky gets darker, but there are more vendors by the lake, most of them selling snacks and lanterns, and at night, the mirror lake is more lively than during the day, and tourists who come here will put a lantern in the lake to pray for themselves and their families.
Wen Su and Min Yan also came to the crowd, the three women each bought a lantern and came to the lake, Wen Xu's lantern was written with the words auspicious and peaceful, which means to seek peace, and some of the lanterns are destined for marriage, all kinds of them, Wen Xu gently opened the lantern, watching the lantern get farther and farther away from the shore, her thoughts also drifted all the way to the distance with the lantern. When he came back to his senses, he found that there were no figures of Min Yan and Lan Yue around him, only strangers who came and went, Wen Xu panicked in his heart, and kept looking for them in the crowd, but there was a huge lake, and the people on the shore were endless, and they couldn't see their shadows at all, and the place where the painting boat docked was also full of all kinds of painting boats, and he couldn't tell which direction it was in, so he had to move with the crowd, and he didn't know which direction to go. And here Lan Yue also found that Wen Su was gone, and was looking for the place where the lanterns had just been put with Min Jiang and Min Yan, where was there still the shadow of Wen Su on the shore of the lake, there were only unfamiliar faces, and the three of them were anxious.
