Chapter 190: Painting the Boat
Wang Miaoyan said: "The scenery is just right, where do you dare to let the two sisters suffer." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Sister Wang, don't say that, even if we help make up for it, multiple people are good." Tu Manzhen said crisply. She thought to herself, since it was on the painting boat, then according to what Hong'er said before, the King of Qi and the King of Chu should be there. I don't know if there are still those princes and grandsons? A young girl with a spring is always full of longing for love.
The matter is urgent, Xu Wanzhen said: "Sister Miaoyan, don't shirk, we should go to see Princess Chu." ”
Hong'er led the way first, Qiu Yu hugged Wang Miaoyan, and several people hurriedly walked to the dock. Wang Miaoyan said as she walked: "In this way, I will thank my two sisters first, and I will definitely hold a banquet to thank each other in the future." With that, he lowered his eyes and hid the calculation in his eyes.
When she arrived at the dock, Hong'er stepped forward to say a few words to the boatmother, rewarded her with a few dollars of silver, and said, "Go to the shore of Xinghualin Lake quickly." ”
Among these people, only Tu Manzhen and the maid painting hall she brought had never been on a boat, and the two of them cautiously got on the boat.
When everyone was seated, the mother-in-law untied the rope, the oars of the boat lady were fast, and the boat sailed out of the dock like an arrow from the string.
Seeing that Tu Manzhen's face was a little pale, Hong'er said, "I'm in a hurry now, so I'll be faster." If you play slowly, you won't be able to. ”
Looking at the splash that was rapidly retreating, Tu Manzhen was sullen and speechless. Xu Wanzhen saw her symptoms, but it was exactly the same as the seasickness they had when they went to Beijing, and instructed Cai Si to pour a cup of tea prepared on the boat and serve her to drink it, and Tu Manzhen's face was better.
Xu Wanzhen said gently: "Cousin Manzhen took a boat for the first time, and it is inevitable that she will be a little seasick. Fortunately, the distance is not far, and it is here to close your eyes and rest. ”
Tu Manzhen drank tea, leaned weakly on the arms of the painting hall, and felt that she finally had a hope. I just feel that Xu Wanzhen, who is usually annoyed when I look at it, is much more pleasing to the eye now.
A quarter of an hour later, the boat came to the side of the boat. Hong'er led Wang Miaoyan to get off the boat and hurriedly walked to the painting boat.
The ship docked steadily, and it took a long time for Tu Manzhen to caress his chest and ease up. Xu Wanzhen waited for her to go to the painting boat with the maid.
As soon as I went up, there was a maid in a water-green shirt waiting there, and when she saw the two of them, she curtsied and said, "Miss Tu Er, Miss Xu is good, the maid's name is Chunhong." The princess was sick, and Miss Wang was waiting, but it was inconvenient to see guests. Tell the maid to wait for the two young ladies here, and if you come, please come and sit on the boat for a while. ”
Xu Wanzhen didn't mind, as long as the two of them arrived, their hearts would also arrive. Whether or not you can meet Princess Chu is not the most important thing. It would be better to sit down for a while and say goodbye. It's just that this princess of Chu is sick, I don't know if the king of Qi and the king of Chu are on the boat, although they are foreign men, but they are the princes, and it stands to reason that they should also go to see them.
It's just that if you don't mention this spring red in front of you, it's better to treat it as if you don't know. Joy and quiet.
The two followed Chunhong to a tea room on the boat and sat down, but they didn't meet anyone else along the way.
Chunhong sued for a crime and went down to serve tea. Tu Manzhen looked around and said in a low voice: "Cousin, the furnishings here are so rich. ”
Xu Wanzhen nodded, there are flowers and grasses in this princess's mansion, and there are a few tables, all of which are telling about Princess Zhaoyang's identity as the eldest daughter favored by Queen Cao. It looks like a princess's mansion full of natural harmony, but behind it is an artificial and elaborate design.
The window lattices of tables, chairs and windows are all made of precious mahogany, rosewood, and huanghuali, and even a small table and a tea stool are also made of gilt edging. This is the real atmosphere of wealth, simple and elegant, and luxury in the details, which is far from what those rich and noble people can imagine.
Although Tu Manzhen wanted to see those noble sons in her heart, on this painting boat, there were maids standing quietly a few steps away, and I didn't know if it was from the princess's mansion or the palace of the king of Qi and the king of Chu. In order to avoid being rude and leaving a bad impression on the princess, she had no choice but to restrain her temperament and dare not trespass.
After the seasickness, Tu Manzhen's attitude towards Xu Wanzhen was much more relaxed, and the two sat down to drink tea and chatted with gossip from time to time.
After sitting for about two quarters of an hour, Wang Miaoyan walked in quickly, first gave a salute to the two of them with a smile, and said, "I am tired of waiting for the two sisters for a long time, but it is my fault." ”
"Is the princess better?" Xu Wanzhen asked. If it was all right, she was ready to disembark.
"It's only a little relieved, and now that Imperial Doctor Wang has arrived, I have to be free."
Tu Manzhen was a little curious before, but she never found a chance to ask, so she asked, "Sister Wang has practiced massage?" ”
Wang Miaoyan nodded and said, "When I was at home, because my mother often had heart palpitations, I studied it specially. I didn't expect Princess Chu to have this disease, I tried it once, and it had some effect, so I helped the princess massage it from time to time. ”
Does Wang Miaoyan's mother have a heart disease? How I haven't heard of it myself. Xu Wan was genuinely puzzled, and then relieved. Maybe the predecessor knew it, but I don't remember it very clearly, so I can't find this memory.
"The princess knew that you were coming to visit the sick, and told me to come and tell me; She received your wishes, but her appearance was not repaired during her illness and it was inconvenient to see guests, so she would invite the two of you to the palace next time. ”
Since it was the princess to pass the word, Wang Miaoyan represented the princess at this time, Tu Manzhen and Xu Wanzhen stood up and said in unison: "The princess takes care of her health. ”
Wang Miaoyan smiled playfully and said, "Okay, the princess instructed me to entertain you." What's the point of sitting here, let's go fishing on the bow of the boat. ”
Xu Wan really asked, "But, Lord Wang, they?" ”
Tu Manzhen opened a pair of beautiful eyes, looked at Wang Miaoyan, thinking that she could finally see the prince, it was the first time in her life that she was so close to these nobles, and her heart was excited.
But he saw Wang Miaoyan and said: "Princess Chu is sick, and the prince will accompany her when the prince comes." The princess, King Qi and Princess Qi had already gotten off the painting boat at this time and went to play elsewhere, so there was no need to scruple. What she didn't say was that there were other children of the family on the painting boat.
Hearing this, Tu Manzhen was disappointed, but Xu Wanzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, she didn't want to have any more contact with these nobles.
Chunhong waited outside the house and led the three of them to the bow of the boat.
The boat ladies have already been instructed to prepare fishing rods, fishing baskets, bait and other things here. Say it's fishing, but where will the ladies get their hands dirty? There is a mother-in-law who puts on the bait and throws it like a lake, and if the ladies are interested, just throw the rod.
The water and grass in this lake are abundant, there are many fish, and only Princess Zhaoyang will fish for recreation on weekdays, all of them are stupidly tight, and they don't know how to avoid the hook. After only a cup of tea, the woman easily caught a big fat fish, put it into the fish basket and kept fluttering.
Seeing that it was so easy, Tu Manzhen stepped forward and was eager to try. But this throwing rod is also a technical job, she held the fishing rod, learned the posture of the mother-in-law to throw it forward, only to hear the sound of "oops", did not throw to the surface of the water but swung back, looking at the earthworm at the top of the hook bent and stretched, Tu Manzhen only felt a burst of nausea, subconsciously let go, only heard a "whew" sound, the fishing rod was thrown out with the force.
I only heard an "ah" from someone behind, and then an impatient man asked, "Don't you have long eyes?" ”
