Chapter Eighty-Eight: Boating on the Blue Lake
"If it is, Geng Tie is changed, in the future, whoever takes it, I will not let go, if Geng Tie can't be replaced, I will be completely dead." Li Muqing's voice gradually lowered, "Looking at the flowers and trees, boating on the blue lake, just like this, I am willing to work with you to protect the people you care about, and I am also willing to live a plain life with you......"
Xie Fanghua remained silent.
"Chinese New Year's Eve climbed the city wall, the Dharma Buddha Temple stole scriptures, and those things that have been pressed on my heart for many years and never talked about my mother. Also, for so long, I have been involved in all the big things you have done. I ......still have the grasshoppers that I taught you to weave that day" Li Muqing held Xie Fanghua's hand trembled slightly, "You have a marriage contract, and when the two are happy, I fell into the charm trick, and after the door of death was closed, although I tried to give up, but now, this time and that time." I'd like to ask for another chance...... Will you forgive me for being confused today? ”
Xie Fanghua's body stiffened, listening to Li Muqing's words, he didn't say a word.
The waiter and the waiter didn't know whether to step forward and open Li Muqing, and they all looked at Xie Fanghua.
Li Muqing suddenly stepped forward one step ahead of the two, hugged Xie Fanghua, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, you're so smart, I shouldn't be smart enough to hurt you, I'm ...... I'm sorry, don't be annoyed, I ...... I won't coax anyone, but I promise, there will be no next time. Even if I am a villain in vain and take advantage of the void, I will admit it. If you can really change Gengti, then someone else is someone else who has given up, why can't I marry you? Good for you? I will be good to you for the rest of my life. ”
The two of them, who were so good all the way, said that they would turn their faces, and the two of them didn't dare to say anything, so they came to help Xie Fanghua.
After a while, Xie Fanghua said in a deep voice to the waiter painting and waiter, "Help me go back!" ”
Li Muqing couldn't go on anymore and looked at her too.
Xie Fanghua looked at him quietly, her eyes were cold, and she didn't speak.
"It's not regret, it's just that your heart ......" Li Muqing looked at her, "In case Geng Ti really changes, I don't want you to regret it." If I do this, how can I be a gentleman? Isn't it really a villain who takes advantage of the void? I'm not afraid of him, but I'm afraid you'll be angry with me and hate me in the future......"
"So, do you regret it now?" Xie Fanghua looked at him.
"That's not what I meant." Li Muqing's face changed, and he immediately stepped forward and explained to her, "When you were still listening, after I met you and recognized your identity, I was already moved, and I had the heart to ask to marry you." But he was one step ahead and didn't give me a chance. That day I went to the camp in the West Hill to look for him. He actually said that whoever loves to marry you will marry you, it has nothing to do with him, saying that if I am willing to marry you, just marry, don't bother him, I was angry, so I went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, but I didn't expect the old marquis to agree......"
Xie Fanghua's face suddenly turned cold, "Since you feel that you have done something wrong, you can go back now and tell my grandfather that I, Xie Fanghua, can't get married, and I don't need anyone to have mercy and kindness to accept it." ”
"I thought...... Maybe ......" Li Muqing looked at her, pondering the words, and after a while, seeing her quietly looking at him, he suddenly sighed, "Maybe I did something wrong!" You shouldn't be messing around. ”
Xie Fanghua looked at him, "Li Muqing, didn't you ask my grandfather for a kiss?" What is this doing now? ”
Li Muqing suddenly pursed the corners of his lips.
Xie Fanghua looked at it for another moment, then turned around and looked at Li Muqing, "You took me to the lake, and you want to carry me up the mountain, and you have to go around in such a big circle, just to let me come to see the camp in Xishan?" ”
Li Muqing pursed his lips, "It's the Xishan Battalion." ”
"Go up to the top of this mountain, look down, isn't it the camp of the West Mountain?" Although Xie Fanghua was a question, his tone was affirmative.
Li Muqing nodded, "Yes, it's Xishan." ”
Xie Fanghua stood still, looking at the mountain, "This is the West Mountain, right?" ”
"On this mountain, there is a pavilion with stone tables and chairs, I will carry you up the mountain!" Li Muqing helped Xie Fanghua to the shore and said to her, "It's not that I haven't carried you." ”
Li Muqing beckoned to the scholar, who immediately jumped on the boat, picked up the big fish and carried them in the wooden barrel that had been prepared a long time ago, and put the rest of the small fish back into the lake.
Xie Fanghua has no opinion.
Li Muqing bowed his head, "Even if you grill fish, today is not worth the trip." After the words fell, he glanced at the three people behind him, "A few of us, these big fish are enough to eat, let's release the small fish!" ”
"Count naturally!" Xie Fanghua is willing to gamble and lose, "No matter what conditions you put forward in the future, as long as I can do it, I should fulfill it." ”
"What about the bet?" Li Muqing looked at her with bright eyes.
Xie Fanghua finally couldn't help but be happy, "Yes, it's a fish, I lost." ”
"There are five big fish and two small fish...... Well, eleven. After Li Muqing finished counting, he picked up a very small fish as big as a thumb with his hand and looked at Xie Fanghua, "This is also a fish, isn't it?" ”
The boat behind him approached, and the three attendants stared at him curiously and counted the fish.
Li Muqing poured the fish in his net into another small warehouse and began to count.
Xie Fanghua nodded.
After a while, after counting, Li Muqing said with a smile, "There are five big fish and ten small fish." ”
Xie Fanghua looked at him.
Li Muqing nodded, took Xie Fanghua's fishing net first, and poured all the fish in her net pocket into a small warehouse on the side. Start counting, "one, two......"
"Just count and you'll know." Xie Fanghua was also brought out of interest.
"Guess who has the most nets." Li Muqing asked with a smile.
I saw two net pockets, not only the inner net is fish, but the outer net is also hung with fish, and the two pockets full of rain can't see who has more and who has less.
On the boat behind, there were exclamations from the waiter, the waiter, the waiter, and the scholar Li Muqing.
The two raised their hands together, and the two nets burst out of the water at once.
Xie Fanghua nodded, "Okay!" ”
"Lifting the net?" Li Muqing asked with a smile.
An hour later, the boat turned over the green hills, drifted to a mountain, and did not leave.
Xie Fanghua stopped talking and quietly watched the boat go, her and Li Muqing's nets were motionless in the water.
"Happy!" Li Muqing chuckled.
Xie Fanghua glanced down at the lake, and suddenly smiled, "Since you are not afraid of losing, what am I afraid of." Bet. ”
"I'm not afraid to lose." Li Muqing looked at her with a smile.
Xie Fanghua's eyes moved, "Are you so sure you can win?" ”
Li Muqing thought for a while, "The loser promises the winner a condition, in other words, he can do something for the winner, as long as it is something that can be done, he is not allowed to break his promise." The term is...... Lifetime. ”
"How to bet?" Xie Fanghua also asked with a smile.
"Looks like I've met a master of fishing." Li Muqing smiled, "Let's make a bet!" ”
Xie Fanghua also glanced at him.
Li Muqing suddenly glanced at her.
The boat went down the river, and after a while, Xie Fanghua felt that her net pocket sank, but she didn't move and didn't take it out.
Li Mu glanced at her, saw that she looked good, and nodded with a smile.
Xie Fanghua didn't blush at all, "I'm the one who was injured. ”
Li Muqing smiled, "You will take the lead!" ”
"Okay!" Xie Fanghua took it with his good arm and put the fishing net pocket into the water first.
After sitting for a while, Li Muqing took two fishing nets from the bow of the boat, one was kept in his hand, and the other was handed to Xie Fanghua, "Look at which of us has more fish caught in one bag." ”
Shi Hua and Shi Mo glanced at each other, thinking that Li Gongzi should not be underestimated, the matter has not yet been completed, and they really can't talk nonsense.
At this moment, Li Muqing glanced back at the two with a smile, didn't say anything, and turned his head back.
When the painter and the ink waiter heard this, they immediately stopped talking.
"Hey, you two stop talking! Although your young lady is injured and her ears and eyes are not very smart, my son-in-law's ears and eyes are excellent. I can hear it. The boy reminded them in a low voice.
Shi Mo nodded again.
"I think Li Gongzi is really good." The waiter looked at the two of them, "With him, the young lady is plain, you don't need to dig too deep, and you won't be hurt." It's a good match. ”
Shi Mo thought of Qin Zheng, then thought of Xie Fanghua's injury, and then thought of the two of them now that even the marriage contract has been canceled, how can they get it back to this point? Even if the young lady still has him in her heart, it is impossible to get it back! She nodded, "The old marquis agreed, and the young lady did not object, and it was decided after changing the Geng post in two days." Really! ”
"Do you think Miss will really marry Li Gongzi?" The waiter asked in a low voice.
Shi Mo nodded again.
"But even if you don't talk much, they complement each other very well and are comfortable to watch." The waiter said.
Shimo nodded, "yes." ”
"Li Gongzi and Miss don't talk much?" The waiter said in a low voice.
The boat that the painter and the ink were on always maintained a distance not far from Li Muqing and Xie Fanghua's boat, and the two couldn't hear the conversation between the two in front of them, so they couldn't help whispering.
The green hills on both sides of the river are verdant, the blue lake is secluded, the scenery is pleasant, the people around are not irritable, gentle and polite, and it is comfortable.
Li Muqing stopped talking and sat quietly with her.
Xie Fanghua nodded.
"It's a smooth sail, let it float with the water! Drifting downstream, we went up the hill to grill the fish. Li Muqing said.
"Why don't you scratch?" Xie Fanghua tilted his head and asked.
Li Muqing suddenly put down her sculls, stepped into the cabin, and sat side by side with her.
"Myself......" Xie Fanghua looked ahead, the lake water was clear and clear, but there was a faint mist around her, she shook her head, "I am a trivial matter, it doesn't matter if I don't have a place." ”
"You want to protect the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, but what about yourself? Where do you put yourself? Li Muqing looked at her.
Xie Fanghua remembered that in her previous life, she didn't understand anything, she didn't know anything, she could only watch the overthrow of the whole family, and she couldn't do anything. She shook her head, "Why isn't that a good thing?" You can rely on yourself to protect what you want to protect and keep the people you want to protect. ”
Li Muqing saw that she didn't seem to be liaring, so she was silent for a while, "Women are too smart, too talented, know too much, and will get too much, which is not a good thing." ”
Xie Fanghua nodded, "In addition to rowing, I can also float." ”
"You can also row a boat?" Li Muqing was surprised.
"It's a pity I'm injured, otherwise I could have helped you row." Xie Fanghua smiled and said, "I can only tire you today." ”
"It is true that the world says that profiteers and merchants are cunning. Even if I'm smart......" Li Muqing said this, and couldn't help but glance at Xie Fanghua with amusement, "It's rare for you to praise me for being smart." After a pause, he added, "But smart people also have times when they are mistaken by cleverness. ”
Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows, "It's rare that you are so smart, and you have been tricked." ”
"A few years ago, I went to the south to inspect the shops, and when I first got involved in business, although I was cautious, I was killed and fell into the water, but fortunately an old farmer saved me, which was a big loss, and since then, I have learned to float and row." Li Muqing said.
Xie Fanghua saw that he was directing the boat to go wherever the boat went, and couldn't help but praise, "Your rowing skills are good, did you learn it deliberately?" ”
Li Muqing paddled the oars gently, and the boat left the shore and sailed forward.
Xie Fanghua smiled and nodded.
"Naturally!" Li Muqing saw that she didn't like it, her eyebrows and eyes smiled more, and she rowed the oars, "Sit tight, start the boat." ”
After Xie Fanghua got on the boat, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but felt that it was very close to the water, as if she was sitting on the water, and the faint water vapor floated up from the lake, accompanied by the fresh air of green mountains and plants, which had a unique taste. She had never felt it before, and she said to Li Muqing with a smile, "It's better to take this small boat than a big painting boat." ”
The waiter and the waiter looked at the scholar who served as the coachman for Li Muqing, and the scholar nodded hurriedly, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and jumped on the boat. Thinking that Li Gongzi is really good, he only got these two boats, and it doesn't look comfortable at all, but Miss has no opinion. They had no choice but to follow.
Li Muqing helped her to walk towards the boat, first helped her onto the boat, then untied the rope, jumped on it himself, and said to the waiter painting and waiter, "If you don't know how to row, my scholar can row for you." ”
"Don't faint!" Xie Fanghua shook his head.
"We'll make that one, and keep the other one for your handmaiden." Li Muqing smiled and said, "You don't get sick, right?" ”
The boat was so small that it could only fit two or three people on a boat.
Xie Fanghua raised his eyes and saw that this place was on the shore of a lake, with two small boats parked, the lake water was clear, and the green mountains on both sides were verdant.
Li Muqing sat up, got out of the car first, and then helped Xie Fanghua get out of the car.
An hour and a half later, the carriage stopped, and the coachman said outside, "Childe, it's here!" ”
Li Muqing stopped talking, and just like her, he lay quietly.
Xie Fanghua nodded silently.
Li Muqing was stunned for a moment and smiled, "That's right." Most women in this world want to please their husbands. After the words fell, he was no longer looking for something to do, so he leaned on the pillow with her, "If it is according to my own wishes, I will change the Geng post today, but my father does not agree, and it is only three days later that I have fought for it." ”
Xie Fanghua closed his eyes, "Let's talk about it when you can really marry me!" Maybe then, I won't have to please you, I'll have to please you. ”
Li Muqing looked at her and sighed, "It's really hard to wait!" I have to think about how I will please you after I marry you. ”
"I don't want to do anything." Xie Fanghua shook his head.
"Then ......" Li Muqing had a headache, "what do you want to do?" ”
"I don't want to see it." Xie Fanghua shook his head.
"What about reading?" Li Muqing asked again.
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "I don't want to go down." ”
Although the road of more than ten miles is not far, it is not close, Li Muqing asked Xie Fanghua, "Play chess to pass the time?" ”
There are two landscapes in the capital of South Qin, one is the Jade Girl River, and the other is the Green Lake. The Jade Girl River concentrates on the painting boat, it is the place where the red sleeves of singing and dancing are flattened, the green lake is far away from the Jade Girl River, it is necessary to walk more than ten miles of road, the green mountains on both sides are next to each other, few people go forward, it is very quiet, so it is called the Green Lake.
The weather is good today, and the streets are crowded. The carriage went out of the city smoothly and headed for the green lake outside the city.
The coachman immediately waved his horsewhip and left the gate of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion.
Li Muqing glanced at her curled calf, her eyes were slightly distressed, she opened her eyes and gave an order outside the car.
"I'm really flustered." Xie Fanghua shook his head, "If you don't move around, even I feel like I've become a waste." ”
"Maybe I shouldn't have taken you out of the house today, or I just left it to work." Li Muqing asked.
Xie Fanghua shook his head, took out Juanpa, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Drink water?" Li Muqing looked at her and asked softly.
After Xie Fanghua got into the car, she leaned lazily on the pillow, her three arrows still lost too much blood, although she had been raised for half a month, but from the inner courtyard to the door for a few steps, she was sweating.
The interior of the carriage is comfortably furnished, with pillows, thin quilts, and all kinds of tea and fruit snacks inside.
The weather is getting warmer, and the heavy curtains around the carriage have been replaced by light curtains.
Li Muqing helped Xie Fanghua out of the inner courtyard, came to the corner gate of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion, and helped her into the carriage, and he also sat in.
Yan Chen saw him leaving, smiled, sat idly on the chair, fiddling with the chess pieces on the table, not playing against himself, but studying the formation.
Xie Yunlan glanced at Yan Chen, didn't answer, got up and went to the study.
After the two left, Yan Chen suddenly said to Xie Yunlan, "If she can really marry Li Muqing, I think it will be a good marriage." Brother Yunlan, what do you say! ”
The painter and the ink each took a step back, followed behind the two, and walked out of the Begonia Garden.
Li Muqing smiled and helped her walk out.
Xie Fanghua looked at the outstretched hand, hesitated, and put the hand in his hand.
Li Muqing walked over and stretched out his hand to her.
After Xie Fanghua was stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but laugh.
"yes!" Shi Mo smiled and agreed.
"Miss, don't you understand what Gongzi Li means? Even the fish won't swim when they see you. The waiter covered his mouth and smiled.
"Why?" Xie Fanghua looked at him.
After Li Muqing was stunned for a while, he came back to his senses, coughed, and said unnaturally, "The fish in the lake must be easy to catch today." ”
After carefully dressing up, Xie Fanghua is as dazzling as a pearl and jade.
