Chapter 166: Overboard
Du Xiaoxi speaks for himself
She's really a female pig's foot!
Just come up with an idea and succeed in the bird!
The house that Liu Erye looked for according to Du Xiaoxi was a rich man's house in the countryside, with blue bricks, large tiles, high doors and large windows, and the house arranged for the uncle of the Liu family was still the most sunny west drying house.
The winter in the north is very cold, and the houses built are all thick walls, small windows, and large soil kang that pursue the effect of warmth, and most of them are in small compartments, and the warmth is warmth, but it is too airtight.
Probably left the house full of medicinal smells, changed to a new environment, and his mother, brother and nephew came all the way to guard him, and the uncle of the Liu family was in a much better mood, and occasionally grabbed Liu Yao to talk about the palace test in his house back then, as well as the experience of being an official over the years.
It is no longer the lifeless person who told his mother to let his nephew get married soon, so as not to delay him because of him.
In the big courtyard, except for two or three servants, all of them are their own families, and the uncle of the Liu family is pestered by Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi and no longer lies in bed all the time, but will walk around the yard twice and sit on the recliner under the grapevines to sleep for a while.
Probably because his heart has been let go, and the people have brightened, Uncle Liu's spirit is getting better and better, and the dark spots on his face seem to have faded a lot.
The old doctor, who was waiting for the change of medicine, announced that the rate of decay on the patient's body had miraculously become slower, and the family couldn't help but cheer.
Probably with hope, the gentle and polite smile on the face of the uncle of the Liu family returned, and the whole person was full of energy!
The people of the Liu family don't care about Liu Ziping's improvement, because they have changed to a new house or wear peasant clothes. Eat a farmhouse meal. They attributed all the qiΔ to Du Xiaoxi, which was all proposed by Xi Yatou!
Because of this great credit, Du Xiaoxi has been held by the whole family these days, and Du Xiaoxi is embarrassed.
Mr. Tobe Yanagi is cured!
This is not big news in Kyoto, at least for those who follow it.
Uncle Liu has struggled for many years and is now the head of the household department, although there is a Shangshu and two squires above, but the head is absolute real power. What's more, it is the money and grain sent into Beijing by various prefectures, even if you have one hand, you can get rich.
For Liu Ziping, a person who has no power and no power and has a little bit of contact with the Nine Emperor Princes but is not close, occupies such a position of real power, many people are envious, jealous and hateful! Although they unanimously believe that the emperor chose Liu Ziping because he has no son, he is greedy and greedy!
Half a year ago, Liu Ziping took a long vacation due to illness. Later, he resigned because of a strange illness. However, the emperor did not agree, and temporarily proposed a person to replace him.
For such a rich position, many people waited for Liu Ziping to burp and get on the throne, but it turned out that such a person who was sentenced to death by the imperial doctor turned out to be better!
So many people began to secretly pay attention to which miracle doctor saved people! Waiting for the day when I was going to die, I would be saved.
Outcome. The truth is so terrifying!
I just went to live in a farmer's house for more than half a month!
It's not scientific!
All right. Although they do not want to admit that those poor people who eat bran and eat vegetables live longer than their noble people who fish and meat every day. But there are always so many old men and old ladies in the countryside who talk to each other.
Many people still secretly bought a house in the countryside, waiting for the day when they were in a better mood to live there.
Uncle Liu made such a mistake, and Master Xile ran over to see it strangely. Not to mention those who have dealings with Uncle Liu's officialdom. The people who came to condolence were wave after wave. In the end, the old doctor refused to see the guest because he said that he wanted to recuperate.
β¦β¦
"Swimming in the lake? Where to go? Du Xiaoxi looked at the exquisite post and asked curiously.
"It is said to be the Seven Star Lake at the foot of the West Mountain. I asked the grandmother next to my aunt, the lotus flowers are blooming just right, and there are many lakes, so it's cool to go now. β
Now it's August, and the autumn tiger is in full bloom, even if you sit in the house and do nothing, you can sweat. The old people who couldn't bear it had already gone to the courtyard or temple in Xishan to escape the heat, afraid that the illness of the uncle of the Liu family would recur, everyone did not dare to leave at all, Du Xiaoxi and the people of the Liu family could only live by guarding the ice.
After drinking tea, scooping up the wet handkerchief in the basin and wiping his face, Du Xiaoxi said weakly: "I don't want to go!" It's hot! "Don't let her eat ice cubes for Mao! Du Niang is what she says, Grandma Liu, you are enough!
Liu Yao fanned the two of them with a fan, and said with a face full of approval: "I don't want to go either, but the uncle said that he can't shirk it this time, and we both have to go." Saying that, Liu Yao slapped twice and raised his face to Du Xiaoxi, who had finished wiping his face, "Wipe it for me too!" β
Du Xiaoxi obediently wiped his face, wiped his neck and arms by the way, and immediately picked up the big pu fan on the mat and fanned it vigorously.
"Hey! Oh my God! Hot dead dog! β
The day of swimming in the lake came as scheduled, and Du Xiaoxi looked at Liu Yao who was riding a horse with envy from the window of the carriage.
Riding a horse galloping, waving in the wind, so cool.
It's a pity that Du Xiaoxi is timid, although the donkey, mule, and carriage at home have been sitting all over the place, but she really wants to sit under her ass alone, and she doesn't dare to move. Therefore, now I can only watch the bamboo horse ride a horse.
Sitting in a beautiful carriage, Du Xiaoxi suddenly missed the rows of cars at home that attracted wind from all sides.
After getting out of the car and dismounting, the two followed the maid who led the way towards Qixing Lake.
Qixing Lake is named after the seven lakes that stretch for hundreds of miles, and the seven large lakes and the surrounding dense rivers weave into an endless water, becoming the most beautiful scenery under the West Mountain.
The cool breeze hit, the faint fragrance of lotus wafted by, and the lotus leaves that received the lotus leaves danced with the wind, and the irritability in my heart was gone.
"It's so pretty!"
Liu Yao nodded in agreement, there are also many lotus flowers in Shanshui County, but except for the azalea lake, the other Tangzi ditches are planted for lotus roots, which naturally cannot be compared with these large lotus flowers that are specially designed for people to enjoy.
All the way to the water, there is a verandah, and soon you will come to a water-friendly wooden platform built on the water. The platform covers a large area, with pavilions and stone islands with colorful flowers on the edges.
"You're finally here! Come in and sit down! β
Near the exit, a girl who was leaning on the railing and talking to her companion saw the two coming and hurriedly ran over.
The person who came, Hao Xiangyun, was called Hao Twenty-three Niang. is the cousin of Liu Yao's cousin-in-law Hao Jianying, the eldest aunt took the two of them to take care of the two of them when they were not familiar with each other, and took the two of them to the Hao family the day before yesterday to take care of the two of them when they were swimming in the lake.
followed Hao Xiangyun into the pavilion, and all the seven or eight little ladies in the pavilion looked over, and their eyes all fell on Liu Yao's face.
Du Xiaoxi lifted the table (β―β΅β‘β²) β―(β»ββ»
That's enough! It's also a sin for a fiancΓ© to be too good!
Liu Yao completely inherited the advantages of Second Lady Liu and Second Master Liu, a three-dimensional beautiful boy who came out of the proper comics, and Du Xiaoxi was turned into a passerby every time he stood with him.
But passerby A is very proud!
How beautiful! Fresh! It's me too!
Although they were surprised that Liu Yao was not inferior to the appearance of the son of the family, but looking at the paws connected by the two, many people still looked away with pity.
Looking up, looking forward, they came to see the concubine!
That's right. This grand tour of the lake is actually an official blind date meeting.
Of course, the protagonists are the princes and princesses who grew up in the palace.
The emperor's son is so spicy! It's so spicy!
There are more than forty princes. There are more than 50 princesses, and it is said that the total number has exceeded 100!
It is said that this time it is time for the princes in their twenties to marry their daughters-in-law, and the princesses in their thirties to get married. Taking advantage of the arrival of the autumn tiger, everyone's hearts are hot. Hurry up and solve a number of marriage matters.
Of course, Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao came hand in hand to cover up. Fun.
Hao Xiangyun helped introduce the two. Everyone talked about clothes and jewelry, but their eyes were staring at the young men who kept coming.
Like Hao Xiangyun, they came from a family of military generals, and they didn't think about competing with a group of women in the future. This time, most of the targets are those who are also simple-minded and have well-developed limbs. Those who sit in this circle are likely to be good sisters now, and after a while, they will become sisters-in-law.
Seeing that their minds were not here, Du Xiaoxi pulled Liu Yao to sit in the pavilion and watch the scenery, and secretly expressed his careful thoughts about eating grilled fish.
The number of people gradually increased, and all kinds of beauties appeared one after another, and finally when the princes and princesses came, a group of people were guided to the painting boat that had been waiting aside.
Before boarding the boat, Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao were invited to the luxurious painting boat of the lord of Minglan and King An, and there were several princes and princesses on the same boat.
Lord Minglan led a group of people to sit on the second floor of the open-air painting boat, and after Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao said hello, they stood at the bow of the boat and watched the painting boat go deep into the depths of the lotus.
You are looking at the scenery, but you don't know that it is also the scenery in the eyes of others.
Liu Yao lowered his head and talked to Du Xiaoxi with a light smile, and the handsome and gentle smile of the beautiful young man made many little ladies blush. On the painting boat on the left, Zhao Wen'er covered her chest and kept pounding, and her face also had a drunken smile on her face.
Daddy! I've found your son-in-law!
Du Xiaoxi didn't know that her people were taken care of!
The two talked and laughed, and the county lord of Minglan, who was sitting on the railing on the second floor of the painting boat, looked at his younger brother who was eating watermelon in a hot manner, and asked as if unintentionally, "What do you think of Senior Sister Du?" Can you be a good match? β
Shang Mingrui spit out watermelon seeds, swept the affectionate little couple under his eyes, thought that his sister was asking them if they were a good match, and replied with a big grin: "It's good!" β
Shang Minglan lowered her head by preparing a face-wiping handkerchief for her younger brother, and her eyes were unpredictable.
Xiao Rui should also get married, she can't drag him down all the time!
Du Xiaoxi didn't know that both of them were taken by someone!
The boat walked slowly, and finally entered the largest area of the Star Picking Lake before stopping.
The servants suddenly pushed out a small boat that could only seat four people.
Then the men and women on the boat moved, and they walked about at will, and soon two or three young men and women who were chatting in detail got into the boat and sailed leisurely into the distance.
Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao looked at each other, this is the legendary Kyoto scene and seven stars meeting?
The mountain buns said: You Jingli people are too good at playing!
Spicy and unrestrained, spicy and subtle!
Sure enough, it is the ancient times when the folk customs were open! Great praise!
Liu Yao soon found a small boat, and the two went up, and Liu Yao shook the oars and sailed towards a lotus flower that passed by when he came.
When they came, they had already inquired clearly, the lotus seeds of Qixing Lake were particularly crisp and sweet, and the lotus leaves could also be used to cook porridge.
The two who were bent on gesturing and rushing forward didn't notice that a small team was following behind them.
"Do you want to taste it?"
Du Xiaoxi neatly peeled the lotus heart and sent the lotus seeds to Liu Yao's mouth.
Liu Yao opened his mouth to bite, chewed and swallowed, and said helplessly: "You let me try the taste for you again!" β
Du Xiaoxi laughed twice, and peeled one himself and swallowed it.
"It's very sweet, pick more, let's eat lotus seed porridge when we get back!" Saying that, Du Xiaoxi looked at the lake with pity, "It would be nice if there were fresh lotus roots to eat!" β
Liu Yao smiled and moved the boat to the side, hooked the hook and threw the lotus canopy on the boat, "Go back and let He Yang look for it, there will definitely be a Mid-Autumn Festival soon." β
The two of them hooked the lotus canopy one by one, not at all like other boats with affection, you look at me, I look at your pink bubbles full.
After picking dozens of flowers, Du Xiaoxi shouted that he had enough, and then picked some of the good-looking buds, and waited to insert the bottle for the family to see when he went back.
The dozen or so boats behind them stayed in a lotus flower not far away for a while, and then quickly sailed towards them, and when they got closer, they realized that the people on it were the sisters and brothers of the lord of Minglan County.
"Senior sister is so Yaxing!" Shang Minglan looked at Du Xiaoxi, who was holding a large handful of lotus bones, and greeted him with a smile.
Picking flowers was caught, Du Xiaoxi smiled a little embarrassed, "The lotus seeds here are very delicious, do you want to eat them?" Saying that, Du Xiaoxi picked up two lotus pods and handed them over.
"Thank you, senior sister." Shang Minglan took it and gave it to her younger brother.
Du Xiaoxi was turning around after delivering his things, and a scream suddenly came from the ship behind Shang Minglan, "Ah! There are snakes! There are snakes! β
Snake? The little women were afraid of the creature, except the women.
The others also screamed, setting up the boats and trying to run to the side, but for a moment several boats collided together.
Shang Minglan's sister and brother's boat was also hit, and it hit the boat where Du Xiaoxi was with a bang, and Du Xiaoxi, who was turning his head to see what was going on, fell directly into the water because of the violent movement of the boat.
"Someone has fallen overboard! Someone overboard! β
Du Xiaoxi fell into the water and gradually made a big wave, and the other little ladies couldn't care about the snake screaming in unison.
Du Xiaoxi, who fell into the water in the absolutely inelegant posture of planting green onions, wanted to cry without tears, help! I can't swim!
Liu Yao saw Du Xiaoxi fall into the water and jumped down directly.
Shang Minglan looked at her younger brother who stood up violently and said softly: "Xiao Rui, you have a good water nature, go and help." β
Shang Mingrui thought that Du Xiaoxi had saved his sister's life before, and he didn't think that his sister, who had never let him touch anything dangerous, would take the initiative to let him go into the water, so he answered, and jumped down with a pop.
Zhao Wen'er, who had been secretly looking at Liu Yao in several boats, saw that Liu Yao picked it up, and she jumped off without blinking.
In the play, it is said that 'the grace of saving lives should be promised by body', and when she jumped down, this sentence suddenly popped up in Zhao Wen'er's mind.
