Chapter 182: A Chance Encounter (1)
The water of the lake in autumn is sparkling and crystal clear. Gu Yanran gently helped Miss Gan Er to sit on the boat, but a pair of beautiful eyes looked at the other Ye Xiaozhou.
Jin Linglong was reaching out to play with the lake, she seemed to be having a good time, and her face was full of smiles. The boat staggered, frightening the little maid who followed her into a pale face.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Yanran also heard that the girl of the Jin family is really good at drilling, and she can come up with this method.
"Sister Gu Qi, you see that there are really fish." Miss Gan Er became excited, and it was the first time she sat on a boat to watch the fish.
Gu Yanran said with a smile: "There are few fish here, but there are more in front." ”
As she spoke, she raised her voice and said to Linglong, "Fifth Sister Jin, do you have any fish there?" ”
The two small boats are already more than ten zhang apart, Gu Yanran's boat is in front, and Linglong's boat is in the back.
Linglong said: "There are fish, and they are not afraid of people at all, and they wanted to bite me just now." ”
Speaking of this, Linglong suddenly felt that something was wrong, why was Gu Yanran's ship so far away from her?
She asked the paddling mother-in-law, "Mom, shall we hurry up?" ”
But the woman seemed to be deaf, and did not answer.
Seeing this, Yinling forcibly held back the nausea that welled up in her stomach, and said to the mother-in-law, "Mom, why don't you speak, my young lady asks you." ”
No wonder Silver Bell was about to vomit, and the woman rowed the boat around, and I don't know when the boat stopped going forward, but went round and round in place.
Fortunately, this time, the woman finally reacted, pointed to her ears, and babbled at them, she was really deaf and mute.
"Miss Five, what should I do, something seems wrong with this mother?" Yinling was frightened and frightened, she was a little seasick, and now she found out that there was something wrong with her mother-in-law, so she was even more scared.
Linglong raised her eyes and saw that Gu Yanran's boat was farther away. And they were already far away from the Emerald Pavilion.
She sighed, Gu Yanran. You are so cute.
Without saying a word, he lifted his skirt and walked up to the mute woman, and reached out to grab her oars.
The mute mother-in-law didn't give it alive or dead, and her mouth was still babbling and talking. But she didn't expect it. This delicate and weak young lady had so much strength that she snatched the oar out of her hand in two or three strokes.
The mute woman was taken aback, knelt down and kowtowed and made a gesture, and she didn't know which one she was singing.
Linglong said to Yinling: "Don't let her make a fuss, she will move like this again." The ship is about to capsize. You hold her down, and I'll row. ”
Her face sank like water, her voice was stern, and she was like two people with a delicate appearance, and Yinling's heart fluttered, and she hurriedly pressed the dumb woman's shoulders to tell her not to move anymore, but the woman's strength was amazing, and Yinling just held her down, but she raised her body again. Silver Bell was taken by her and almost fell.
Linglong saw that the woman was so stubborn, a little impatient, the wooden oar in her hand was raised, it seemed unintentional, but it was a paddle slapped on the mother-in-law's leg, and the dumb mother-in-law only felt a numbness in her leg, so she sat on the boat and couldn't move.
Yinling's heart is about to jump out, this woman has so much strength. But why did Miss Fifth shoot her there all of a sudden?
Linglong saw that the dumb woman didn't move, so she said to Yinling: "What are you doing in a panic, making people laugh, and thinking that our Jin family's maid has never seen the world." ”
Yinling's face was red: "Fifth Miss." It's the slave who is wrong, the slave is on the boat for the first time."
Linglong's cold gaze swept over her face, and she didn't speak, but she shook the oars as fast as she could, and the boat sailed toward the shore like a broken arrow.
How could the boat-rocking woman of the Seven Princes' Mansion send a deaf and dumb person here. Can this matter be a little more strange? If she fell into the water just now, or got her clothes wet, she would be rude in front of the Gu family sisters, and the Seventh Princess reproached her, but she just scolded Gu Yanran for a few words, Gu Yanran didn't need anything else, but used this trick, the ladies and ladies who came here for the banquet today would only scoff, and it was not the first time that Miss Jin had fallen into the water, the dragon boat would fall into the water, and now it was another time, which made people laugh more than other tricks.
Where they are now, it is closer to going ashore than returning to the Emerald Pavilion. So Linglong chose to go ashore, who knows what other ghost ideas Gu Yanran has, she will return to the Jade Pavilion from the stone bridge after she goes ashore. The imperial concubines were all in the Jade Pavilion, and Gu Yanran didn't dare to mess around.
Linglong shook the boat quickly, and in a blink of an eye it reached the shore, there was a silver bell and the woman on the boat, of course she could not fly ashore, so she had to find a small tree, tie the rope, and then abandon the boat and land, and let the silver bell help, drag the dumb woman to the shore, and then take the trembling silver bell to the stone bridge leading to the jade pavilion.
She was on the north shore of the lake, and this was the Upper Courtyard. Fortunately, there was no figure around, and Linglong urged Yinling to follow quickly.
The master and servant walked one after the other, walking on the shore of the lake in the green shade, the scenery here seemed to be better than the south shore, but Linglong didn't care about the scenery, she just wanted to go to the Jade Pavilion quickly, she even suspected that Gu Jinzhi was here, if she met him, then this matter would be even more unclear.
At first, she suspected that Gu Yanran wanted her to make a fool of herself in public, but now that she came to the north shore, she began to suspect that this was a prank by the Gu family brothers and sisters.
The mute woman deliberately sailed the boat closer to the north shore, and if she wanted to go back quickly, she had to abandon it and go ashore.
Linglong was annoyed, secretly blaming herself for being negligent, she turned around and wanted to look at the leaf boat again, maybe the rope was not fastened, the boat had left the shore, fluttering and leisurely far away, the mute woman stood up and shouted at the departing boat.
Linglong shook her head, and had no choice but to walk forward. A few small servants came over and were a little surprised to see her, Linglong lowered her head and pretended not to see it, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward quickly without getting dirty on her feet.
"It's you, stop me!" A voice suddenly sounded, Linglong's heart trembled, her head buzzed, she wouldn't be so unlucky
She turned silently, and the silver bell was already far behind and was trotting over
Two men stood under a camphor tree, one in his early twenties, dressed in a straight coat of oblique muslin and a bamboo hairpin on his head, handsome and delicate, but with a terrifying scar on his right cheek, while the other was dressed in a carved silk robe of dark blue and dark saffron, his face was as handsome as glazed porcelain, glowing with jade. It's just that his eyes are like a thousand-year-old cold pool, staring at Linglong.
"I know you!"
Linglong's heart was pounding, isn't this the birthday banquet of the Seventh Princess? I didn't hear that my brother-in-law was going to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday, how could I meet him here, it would be better to meet Gu Jinzhi.
