Chapter 345: On the Lake

At night, Shichahai is brightly lit, and the dark lake reflects the exquisite palace lights on the shore and the painting boat, adding a bit of charm and charm unique to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, today it was the Marquis of Jinning who held a feast on the painting boat to entertain the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, in case of a mistake, no one could afford it, not to mention that Huo Nineteen's hands were available and credible, and Jiao Zhongyi's three thousand battalions bore the brunt. The soldiers dressed in dark armor were brought by Jiao Zhongyi, and they were neatly lined up to deal with emergencies, adding a lot of solemnity and solemnity.

Jiang Yu leaned against the window of the three-story attic of the painting boat a little dying, with a sour apricot in her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste finally made the nausea better.

Tingyu took a fan on the side and gently shook it for Jiang Yan, and said, "...... Madame shouldn't have followed Master Hou out in advance, and rushed to take what boat, what kind of boat did you think you were like before? Now that I'm pregnant, I boasted this morning that I was very stable this time, and I didn't even feel sick, so I didn't start to feel uncomfortable when I didn't get on the boat? You should take care of yourself, too. ”

"You girl, count how long I won't stop." Jiang Yu looked back at her: "Originally, I was quite confident in myself, but didn't I know that my body was not as I imagined." Besides, my ears are calloused. ”

"You have to remember it when you are calloused, lest you move again." Hearing the rain, I couldn't help but laugh.

Just after taking the boat for a while, Jiang Yan lay on the edge of the boat and vomited, and the bluffed Huo Jiu's face turned green, and the voice of asking "how is it" trembled. Then Jiang Yu was forced to be sent to the painting boat and temporarily placed on the third floor. If it weren't for Jiang Wei's excuse that it was a long way to go home, she would have to toss for a while so as not to feel uncomfortable. Huo Jiujiu almost ordered someone to escort her back to the house.

Jiang Yu glanced at the rain. From the confession porcelain plate, twisted a plump pickled plum in its mouth. Lying on the lattice with bulging cheeks, he looked a little childish.

When Cao Yu stood in front of the door, he saw Jiang Yu like this. I couldn't help laughing: "Madame is better?" ”

"Ink dye." Jiang Yu sat up straight, "Where is it so expensive, I'm not a clay sculpture and paper paste, but the boat just now was unstable." Is it ready to be outside? What about A-Ying? ”

Are you still strong after all this?

Cao Yu shook his head, slowly walked into the house, and said, "Yiqiē is ready." The Hou Ye was waiting for the Emperor of Jin under the boat, and I was fast, so I specially asked me to come up and see how the lady was doing. ”

"If I don't care, it will be what happens wherever I am. But I think it's going to be very lively tonight. ”

"What did Madame see?" Cao Yu's heart froze, for fear that there was negligence in the direction, so he quickly walked to the window and looked outside, "I have already checked around just now, and General Jiao has arranged for three thousand battalions of soldiers to drain the water around them, so it should be fine." ”

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Anyway, if I were a British duke, I would choose to do it tonight. If something happens to Jin Guoren during A-Ying's banquet, he will be busy when he turns back. Even if the people of Jin Guo are fine, the banquet is organized by A-Ying, and it takes some words to explain to the people of Jin Guoren. When the British Duke stands up again and instigates the impeachment of Ah Ying as a righteous person, I am afraid that even Qingliu will have to agree with the British Public's statement. ”

Cao Yu turned his head suddenly, "In this way, this banquet should not be held today at all, either go to the Welcome Pavilion, or at least invite people to the Hou Mansion." The defense I arranged in the mansion is very close, and with the participation of 3,000 battalions of men and horses, if His Majesty Jin Guo goes to our mansion, it will be foolproof. ”

"Not really. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and we are still about to hold this feast. Jiang Yu covered her mouth with a fan with a light green cucumber entwined with a branch pattern and spit out the kernel in the small gold-painted sputum box, and then got up and said: "If something happens, it's better in public, at home one is to make the house restless, and secondly, there are many people there, I'm afraid that I will bring other families and ordinary people tired, and we can't pick it up if something really happens." It's better to be in Shichahai here, even if it is noisy, it is spacious enough. ”

She smiled with a smile on her eyebrows, and her radiant appearance gave Cao Yu great confidence, "It seems that Madam and Master Hou have been prepared for a long time." ”

"It's A-Ying who thinks about it. Don't look at him silently, in fact, as early as the morning, when he said that he was going to come to Shichahai for a half-banquet, he thought about everything that could happen and thought of how to deal with it. When Jiang Wei spoke, she was full of admiration and love for Huo Shijiu.

Although Cao Yu's heart was sour, he was not as sad as before, and he also agreed: "Hou Ye is indeed such a person. However, Mrs. and Lord Hou are the same, as the saying goes, things gather people in groups, and it is said that it is not a family that does not enter the door. ”

Jiang Yu blinked her long eyelashes and said, "No matter how you hear this, it seems to be talking about a nest of snakes and rats." ”

"Madame heard it." Cao Yu sneered and looked side by side with Jiang Yu under the attic. I saw Huo Shijiu wearing a purple cross-collared narrow-sleeved plain brocade robe, with a gold silk pearl and white jade crown on his head, standing with a calm negative hand on his face, the folding fan in his hand knocked down his straight back, and the robe swinging in the night breeze was flying, looking confident and leisurely.

Cao Yu said: "Master Hou is there by himself at this time, I don't worry, I'll go over first." ”

The voice fell, and the man had jumped out of the window lattice. The rabbit floated towards Huo Nineteen.

Jiang Yu and Tingyu both saw him like a fairy bird with snow-white wings, standing beside Huo Shijiu in the blink of an eye, Huo Shijiu heard the movement, looked back, first smiled with Jiang Yu on the painting boat, and then said something with Cao Yu with a smile. Cao Yu replied with a smile.

The two are of similar height, but they are both tall and handsome, and they are really a beautiful picture by the lake with neon water rippling at night.

Listening to the rain in a low voice: "Madam, Cao Gongzi is too humble, where is he just fast legs......"

"The light skill of ink dyeing has reached the perfect realm, and I will not be able to learn it in this life." Jiang Wei was not without envy. Cao Yu really used her heart when she taught her, and she really liked to learn, but she didn't have the internal strength, and it was too late to practice, so she had to adjust her pace. Although she can make this leap as fast as Cao Yu, it is completely different from his kung fu.

"Madame's skills are already the envy of the servant." Listening to what the rain said, he remembered Fang Cai's incident again: "But Madame also has to remember that you are pregnant, pregnant woman!" ”

"Okay, okay, you broken mouth, I'm going to find someone to match you when I go back, so that you don't always nag me here."

Tingyu's face was flushed, and the peach cheek powder face was matched with the beauty mole between the eyebrows, and the face was very delicate. Jiang Fei was angry and flirtatious, and her fingers hooked her chin and she was about to laugh, when she heard the sound of horses' hooves on the tip of her ears. Looking back out the window, I saw a team of people and horses coming slowly in the distance, the leader was dressed in royal blue brocade, with a majestic expression, sitting on a horse very heroic, and more than 20 black-clothed guards beside him were riding jujube red horses of the same color and similar height, and the sound of horses' hooves was almost the same.

is so majestic, you don't have to look closely to know that it is the Emperor of Jin and his party.

Jiao Zhongyi and other soldiers of the 3,000 battalion were aroused by such a bold and competitive spirit, and their military posture was even more upright. It is also thanks to Huo Nineteen that today he called three thousand battalions of people to come, and he did not lose the battle in terms of momentum, if he was only an ordinary guard or a person from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, without a few years of battlefield experience, where did he come from such a strict military might.

"His Majesty of the Kingdom of Jin." Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu led everyone to salute.

Wen Da Jiahui turned over and jumped off the horse, threw the reins to one of the guards, and took only that, Namu and another person stepped forward and said in a golden language: "Marquis Jinning, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

Huo Shijiu replied in Yanguo's dialect: "Lao Jinguo's majesty is hanging, and he is safe in the next qiē, but his majesty is the spirit of Longma, and his ambition is undiminished. ”

The two of them know best what is written in the national book, and even if others don't know the details, they can guess that Huo Shijiu's words are clearly full of praise and irony, stabbing the greed and rudeness of the people of the Jin country.

"TOEFL, Jin Ninghou is not yet smart, I couldn't see him at the dinner yesterday, I heard that Jin Ninghou is sick? Now you don't look very good, it can be seen that you are still busy with the affairs of the two countries with illness, and the Marquis of Jinning is really a good minister of Yan State! "Sarcastically, there is no one else available in Yan Guo, so I called a little white face with a sick face to talk about state affairs.

……

The two of them fought with each other, and without giving way, they had already stepped on the thick pedal that connected the painting boat to the shore.

The pedals bumped up and down between walking, and Cao Yu followed closely beside Huo Shijiu, for fear of an accident.

Wen Dajiahui felt funny when she saw it, "Lord Cao still takes care of Jinninghou." ”

"Hou Ye is a pillar of the country, and he follows Hou Ye below, even if Hou Ye does not command, he should also fulfill his obligations below."

"You are also a chivalrous man, so condescending to others and not feeling wronged?"

"There are not many opportunities in this world to show the master's talents, and some people are full of martial arts, and they are not idle until the end of their lives? And how to talk about grievances. Although Cao Yu spoke softly like a shy girl, she did not show weakness in her words.

When the group arrived at the painting boat, they went up the stairs to the main hall of the banquet on the second floor, and sat down at the wide round table where the eight immortals crossed the sea in black lacquer, and the musicians who had already sat behind the bead curtain played the guqin. It is not like the ordinary public waiting family to make fun when they like to be lively silk and bamboo, only one guqin sound is not thin at all, the orchids on the triangle in the corner of the wall are quiet, Huo Shijiu makes tea with his own hands, the elegant aroma is in harmony with the sound of the piano floating out of the lake, which can make people calm and is the most suitable environment for talking.

"Sure enough, Jin Ninghou is a wonderful person, unlike those vulgar things who only know how to eat big fish and meat, singing and dancing, silk and bamboo, and the warbler Yanyan Yanjiao is annoying. Don't look at me like this, but I'm also a quiet lover. Wen Da Jiahui took the small purple sand tea bowl handed by Huo Shijiu's hands and took a sip.

Jiang Yu and Tingyu came down the steps, and when they heard this, they said with a smile: "Since you like it, it is not in vain that Aying has taken so much trouble to prepare good tea and water." (To be continued......)
