Chapter 53: Qixi Festival is not good (11)
As he listened, the warmth in his chest spread throughout his body. She really ate so much to accompany him, until she couldn't eat anymore. At this time, she complained bluntly without any scheming, but the complaint only revealed a strong consideration and care for him. He couldn't help but silently show a big smile. So happy!
"Huh, Meizi, do you see if that stall is selling any drinks...... "The stall was a little far away, and it was already completely dark, so she couldn't see clearly for a while.
"It's selling almond tea. ”
"I'm so thirsty, let's go and drink." ”
Ying Hao immediately laughed out loud when she heard this: "Hahaha!" A moment ago, she was complaining that she was overeating, and she couldn't eat a mouthful, but now she has time to drink almond tea in her stomach......
"What are you laughing at?" she asked, looking at him quizzically.
He shook his head with a smile and said dotingly, "Let's go, let's go drink almond tea." ”
When it came to the stall selling almond tea, there were no empty seats. The boss beckoned, "Wait a moment, and the seats will soon be available at this end." ”
She shook her head unmindingly and asked directly, "Boss, how much is a bowl of almond tea?" Let's quench our thirst and bring us six bowls." ”
The boss replied, "Two cents for one bowl, and six bowls for twelve cents." ”
And they stood and drank a bowl of each.
While drinking tea, they heard the people in the seats next to them saying that there would be a fireworks display by the lake outside the West City Gate for a while. The view from the lake is also superb. You can also go earlier, rent a search boat in advance, and row to the center of the lake to see, with a better view. After the man at the table finished speaking, he paid for the tea and went in the direction of the West City Gate.
She asked Lizi, "Why, the West City Gate is still open at night?"
Lizi replied: "The west gate will be open until midnight on the days of Qixi Festival, and only the east gate will be closed at the unitary hour as usual. It is precisely because there is a lover's lake outside the west city gate. Miss, you see that the street is lively, but it stretches all the way to Lover's Lake, and many vendors have set up their stalls at that end. ”
She said, "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look." ”
On the way, Jiang Lang recounted: "In the past, when my Chongyang Kingdom was expanding its territory, this lake originally had no name. The army set off from the West City Gate, where many lovers snuggled up to say goodbye. When the army returns victoriously, lovers are also reunited here. Whether it is parting or reuniting, the lover's tears are full of water into the lake. Later, a craftsman, in order to make the pair of lovers send more forward, or when they were greeted, they couldn't wait to greet them, so they built a bridge over this lake and named it Lover's Bridge. Subsequently, the lake was also named Lover's Lake. I heard that the Lover's Bridge on this Lover's Lake has some kind of magic, so that many lovers who are attached to each other on the bridge will be able to reunite here one day. Therefore, many lovers who want to leave temporarily will also be sent off here, and they can pray for the safe return of their husbands, which is difficult to achieve. Even on weekdays, there are many lovers who are willing to come here for trysts. It is even more popular during the Qixi Festival, where several fireworks are lit every night at the beginning of the festival and will not end until the end of the night. ”
With that, they had come to the lake. Look, it's not, it's all right, it's overcrowded.
Ying Hao was afraid that there would be too many people to squeeze her, and her back injury was not yet healed, so she ordered Jiang Lang and Qi Qing to say: "You go over and take a look, we will also rent a cruise ship and go to the center of the lake to see." ”
Jiang Lang and Qi Qing took the order. They didn't go any further. Pear and Plum know to protect her left and right. Ying Hao also deliberately slowed down the three of them and protected behind the three of them. Here, with the support of the three of them, she looked at the center of the lake from a distance.
There are already many large and small pleasure boats floating in the middle of the lake, and when I estimate the distance, I should have set off half an hour ago. She thought, I'm afraid it's hard to rent a cruise ship, right?
Look to the other side. The lake was surrounded by lush woods, and there was a hillside not far away, and there were people standing on it. She felt that if Jiang Lang and Qi Qing came back after a while, and did not rent a pleasure boat, they might be able to go up the slope, and the view should be better than the crowd crowded by the lake.
After a while, Jiang Lang and Qi Qing ran back, and sure enough, they said, "Master, the small cruise ship can't be rented anymore." But they took a breath and said, "But there are two places for the last big cruise ship." It's just that those two positions can't be exchanged for money, but can only be obtained by answering the boatman's puzzle correctly. ”
In ancient times, people liked to guess riddles whenever they had a small meeting. I don't know what kind of ingenious puzzle it is this time, it must be related to the Qixi Festival, and it is quite difficult, otherwise there would not be only these two positions left, and the boat would have been sailed a long time ago. She was in a bit of interest. It's a pity that there are only two positions, and there are six of them in total, which is not enough.
She was still thinking about the four maids, but the four maids naturally thought that when the masters got on the boat, they would wait on the shore.
So, they were still led by Jiang Lang and Qi Qing to the mooring place of the cruise ship. No, it's just a moment of hard work, and the last two positions have been taken by others. This person else is still Liang Zhu and Miss Liang. The three sons of Zhang Wang and Zhao are also there, but unfortunately the three of them are still alone. This riddle seems to have been answered correctly by Zhao Gongzi. Just now, there was still a distance away, and she saw that it was Zhao Gongzi who uncovered the red paper of the puzzle and handed it to the boatman. After answering correctly, Zhao Gongzi gave up his position to Liang Zhu and Miss Liang, a pair of lovers.
Everyone saw that she and Ying Hao should also be running for this position, and after greeting each other, Liang Zhu and Miss Liang deliberately gave up the position to them.
Liang Zhu said: "If Gongzi Chen and his wife don't like it, this position will be given to the two." Liang didn't neglect his friends, and we watched the fireworks by the lake together. ”
Ying Hao is waiting to resign.
She asked first, "I wonder what that puzzle is?"
The boatman heard their conversation, and knew that the first person intended to give up his position to the two later, so he had the heart to test them again, and said: "Madame, listen well, this riddle is that a line of love leads to a white head, and every day you miss and dispel sorrows. Don't blame me for being infatuated, seeing you always in dreams. **Oh, you and I have a fate, across the mountains and across the water, the peach blossoms are vigorous in March, and the fruits are the sweetest in autumn. ”
"A line of love leads to a white head, and every day I miss and dispel sorrows. No...... See ......" she repeated in a low voice, but she couldn't keep up with the speed of the boatman's speech, and hurriedly said, "The boatman, you said slow down." ”
At this time, Ying Hao told the mystery in one sentence: "If you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn." ”
