Chapter 040: Boating

At the end of the road, the shadows of the trees rustled, and Li gritted his teeth and crushed the fallen flowers on the ground.

The petals are broken, and the flower juice is mottled all over the place, leaving a little mark on the bluestone road.

"What are you doing with me! Do you have to be in the limelight alone for your sister-in-law! ”

She turned her head and said angrily to Shen Yurong.

Shen Yurong's expression was a little dazed, and it seemed that there was still the dress that exuded a soft light and the beautiful woman in the dress in front of her.

"You useless thing!"

Lee poked her hard in the shoulder.

"It's just a piece of clothing that makes you throw in the towel? You can't compare to a piece of clothing as a living person? ”

Shen Yurong came back to her senses after being poked, her eyes were red, and she wanted to cry aggrievedly.

How is that a thing of clothing? It's obviously that person, it's that person wearing that dress, that's why people can't take their eyes off, so it attracts everyone's attention!

"Cry, cry, cry, know to cry! Obviously they are the same people who are fed and clothed, you look at what people are like and then look at what you are! How can people please those ladies and wives, why do you just know to run behind my ass! ”

This time, Shen Yurong really cried: "Can that be the same?" How is it the same? People have been daughters since they were children, how can I compare with others when I am in a halfway position! Besides, don't you know why I don't please those ladies and ladies! It's not because ......"

No one wants to mention this wound again, the last time I mentioned it, the mother and daughter had a big quarrel and even made a move, Shen Yurong finally stopped when she said this, crying aggrievedly.

Li was very angry, but he also knew that he was angry with his daughter, and sighed with a headache: "Okay, okay, go back quickly, and play with those young ladies." finally held a lotus banquet, and you can't let your sister-in-law take up the limelight alone. ”

Shen Yurong wiped her tears and looked at the dress on her body, the skirt that she used to think was very good-looking, but now it is how unpleasant it looks.

Kyaukyue silk, sister-in-law is Kyaukyue silk, and there are not many Kyaukyue silk on Jeonbuk Anseong, how can she wear it on her body......

Li sighed patiently again: "Go quickly, when there will be another bright moon silk in Yunnifang, my mother asked them to make you a dress too." ”

Shen Yurong's eyes lit up, so she reluctantly turned around and left, first asked someone to go to the kitchen to get eggs and roll them under her eyes, and then walked towards the flower hall again.

There was no one in the flower hall for a long time, and when she heard that everyone was going to Yuxi Pond, she hurriedly turned around and went in the direction of Yuxi Pond.

The dress was tightly tightened on her body, her steps were not fast, her movements were not daring to be big, and when she came to Yuxi Pond cautiously, everyone was ready to go boating on the lake.

The guests who came to participate in the lotus banquet have basically arrived, and there are many more people than just now.

The boat was certainly not enough for everyone, and the older ladies and ladies were not as interested in boating on the lake as the younger girls, so they sat in the gazebo with the old lady to rest and talk.

Of course, the place of the gazebo is also limited, and not everyone can accompany the old lady.

People who can't squeeze in or are not qualified enough will walk around the lake in twos and threes, looking for people they want to get close to and talk.

"The young lady is really getting more and more provocative, I didn't recognize it at first sight today."

A woman smiled at the old lady.

The old lady did not hide her satisfaction with Mengbao, and nodded: "I will be familiar with it when I see it more in the future." ”

See more, who should see more? Nature is the one who is in charge.

A simple sentence established Mengbao's position in the house.

The ladies present were like mirrors in their hearts, smiling and continuing to praise Mengbao who was preparing to board the ship in the distance.

Mengbao was stepping on the boat with one foot, and before the other foot went up, he felt that someone was squeezing around him, and his body shook a little.

"Ah, be careful......"

There was a murmur around them.

The arm was firmly held in time, and when I looked back, I saw Shen Yurong's worried expression: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" ”

Shen Yujing, who was originally walking beside Mengbao, was squeezed aside at some point, frowning imperceptibly, but raised his head and smiled: "Fortunately, the sixth sister supported it in time, otherwise it would be good to fall to the sister-in-law." Although it is a June day, the water in this Yuxi Pond is still very cold, and the sister-in-law is just right, so she can't get sick again. ”

Mengbao glanced at the two of them and smiled: "It's okay." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his hand and only let the red note on the other side support him, turned his head and said, "You guys should also be careful, get on the boat slowly one by one, and you won't fall if you don't squeeze together." ”

The people behind him nodded again and again, and they all pulled away for a distance, and no one was huddled together.

The lotus pond is full of lotus flowers, and the boat will be too big to crash the lotus into a broken state, ruining the scenery, so the boat by the lake is not big.

Although the boat that Mengbao was riding on was the largest, it could only carry seven or eight people, except for Mengbao himself and the red note Xi'er who followed closely by him, only four or five more people could come up.

Shen Yurong unceremoniously stepped on, Shen Yuqing and Shen Yujin were not good at following as their own family members, and instead took another boat to help entertain other guests.

The space in the cabin is limited, and there are maids from the Dingnan Hou Mansion waiting for them, and the attendants of the ladies and ladies of each province did not go up, and only the masters of each province followed.

In the end, it was Shen Yurong, Su Mengwan, and two other unfamiliar women who took the same boat as Mengbao.

One is obviously not out of the cabinet yet, and the other should be a first-time wife, combing the woman's head, wearing a pink dress, and looking delicate.

The boat gently swayed in the lake, and Mengbao glanced at the little girl who was a little restrained: "Miss Zhao tastes this lotus leaf tea, the lotus leaves in it are picked from this Yuxi Pond, it is very refreshing, and it is the most suitable to drink it in summer to clear the heat and refresh the mind." ”

Miss Zhao saw that she took the initiative to talk, her tone was kind and her smile was kind, and she couldn't help but feel a little more at ease, and took a sip of the teacup.

Another woman on the side laughed softly, looked at the pond full of lotus leaves outside and said, "I don't know if my sister can let us pick some lotus leaves and go back, so that we can make some lotus leaf tea in our own house in the future, and the provincial governor will come to disturb my sister." ”

As soon as Mengbao was about to speak, Su Mengwan, who was sitting beside her, smiled and said: "What Grandma Chen said, how can my sister be the stingy person who cares about a few lotus leaves, there are so many lotus leaves in this pond, Grandma Chen likes to pick them by herself." ”

As he spoke, he leaned over slightly, as if he wanted to stand between the woman and Mengbao.

Mengbao was a little confused, but Shen Yurong on the other side was a little unhappy when she heard it.

"Miss Su is so generous, my sister-in-law has not spoken yet, you have helped her decide. Although there are many lotus leaves in this pool, everyone is here to appreciate the lotus today, and they have not been picked up in a mess before they can enjoy it, which will not spoil everyone's interest. ”

The woman known as Grandma Chen glanced at the two who spoke, a little inexplicable.

How do you feel that one of the two people who spoke was a little hostile to himself, and the other was a little hostile to the other.

Mengbao sighed a little helplessly, and said with a smile: "Picking lotus leaves and appreciating lotus books are not in conflict, waiting for a while, everyone is not interested in appreciating lotus, and the lotus leaves in this pool are picked by Grandma Chen." If you think it's troublesome for you to make tea, we'll send it to you when it's ready. ”

The woman sensed that Mengbao was playing a round, smiled, said hello and said no more.

Suddenly there was a hearty laugh from a man outside the cabin, and it turned out that the boat had sailed to an open place in the middle of the lake, and there was a water pavilion not far away.

A group of men in the water pavilion were playing and playing, and they didn't know what was going on, and they laughed very loudly.

In a few small boats around, bold ladies stepped out, either standing in the bow or in the stern.

The young grandmother Chen also got up and walked out with a smile.

Mengbao, as the master, naturally wanted to accompany her, but Su Mengwan grabbed her at this time and shook her head.

She looked at her puzzled, and when she saw that she was only frowning but not speaking, she pulled out her sleeve and prepared to follow her out.

Su Mengwan pulled again: "Sister, you ...... You...... Ay! I'd better go and accompany her, sister, you can sit here. ”

So saying, he got up and walked to the bow of the boat.

Mengbao looked puzzled, but he didn't follow anymore.

There were already two people standing in the bow of the boat except for the boat lady, and there were more people when she brought the red note Xi'er, not to mention the crowding, it was easy to make the boat unstable, so she simply asked Xi'er to accompany them, and she walked to the stern with the red note.

Shen Yurong was naturally not to be left behind, and followed slowly.

The men in the water pavilion didn't know what to say, and from time to time they let out a burst of laughter, and saw the women watching from the boat in the lake, saluting from afar.

"We have a good pair here, I wonder which lady in the lake is willing to give it a try?"

A man shouted from afar.

This is the scene that will be seen at the lotus banquet every year, the men on the water pavilion have a good poem or pair, shoot arrows at the boat from a distance, and the women on the boat will answer.

Men usually shoot arrows that hit the boat of the woman they like, expecting the person they like to answer.

A good answer is naturally a pleasure, and a bad answer is a laugh, just for fun. After all, there are few people who can really be regarded as talented women in this era, and the so-called poetry talent of everyone's ladies can only be regarded as leisure time in the eyes of these men.

However, there is more than one couple who have become acquainted, so this scene has a somewhat different meaning in everyone's eyes.

"I don't know what Shanglian is?"

A delicate female voice asked timidly.

The man on the water pavilion laughed: "It has always been the first to shoot arrows and then answer, and then read it out, but today is an exception, this pair of people has become a parent, so I read it to everyone." ”

After speaking, he read: "Draw a lotus monk painting." ”

The women in the lake looked at each other, and some pouted: "It doesn't sound good." ”

A man explained: "Although it sounds like nothing at first glance, it is the same sound whether it is being read or reversed, and the beginning and end are the same word, which is difficult." ”

The women thought about it carefully, and if it was so, they all bowed their heads and fell silent.
