Chapter 10: Journey to East Lake

Chapter X

Thinking that his parents who were far away must be thinking about him at home, Han Leng carefully laid out the letter paper that he had taken from Liuyun on the table, and between the shadows of the pen, he wrote a letter and wanted to send it to his home in Shanghai.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I don't know how you've been doing lately, has Dad been tired of his busy business? Mom should also take care of her stomach, drink less strong tea and coffee, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, three meals a day must not be left behind, try to eat less and more meals, which is of great benefit to the stomach.

I hope you will forgive your daughter for going out recklessly this time, I am now living in the Gu family in Yucheng, I like the eldest young master of the Gu family Nanjun very much, Nanjun I told you, his medical skills are excellent, and he will stay in Yucheng as a doctor in the future. Since I was a child, there is nothing I like that I can't get, and Nanjun is the same, although he doesn't like me now, but I am still willing to live in this Yucheng and accompany him, one day, I believe he will like me. At that time, I will bring him to Shanghai to see you, and we will get married in the future, and we will have a lot of children.

By the way, the second aunt of the Gu family likes me very much, I am very comfortable in the Gu family, you don't have to worry about me, if you want to write to me in the future, send the letter to this address, of course, don't forget to send me money.

Finally, I wish you all the best.

Your daughters

Han Leng

The dot at the end of the stroke was written very hard, and a lot of ink oozed out, folded it and stuffed it into the prepared cowhide envelope, extinguished the kerosene lamp on the table, and soon, Han Leng ignored the heavy cicadas outside and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, the sunrise was as beautiful as an oil painting, and the sunlight brisked his steps, soothing Han Leng's sleepy eyes. After Han Leng cleaned up, he put on an apricot short skirt, the neckline of this short skirt was pierced with exquisite flowers and vines between the three buckles, the flowers and leaves were intertwined, the color was very warm and harmonious, the loose puff sleeves made the skirt full of a youthful atmosphere, the skirt only hung down a little to Han Leng's knees, and the belt around the waist hooked an extremely slender and soft waist. Gently roll the two strands of hair back with both hands, simply coil them behind the back, and then fix them with hairpins, and the thick strands of hair that fall behind the back raise a charming charm.

Opening the door of the house, the sunlight flickered in the wind on the skirt, and hearing the sound of Liuyun and other maids playing and playing outside the courtyard, Han Leng followed the sound and walked over, and finally leaned against the arch and beckoned: "Liuyun, come here." ”

Seeing that Han Leng had already gotten up, Liuyun hurriedly returned to the little sister he knew, holding the breakfast prepared for Han Leng in his hand, and trotted all the way: "Eh, Miss Han, I'm here." ”

The pastel bamboo bowl contains a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, and a small plate on the side is accompanied by two crispy golden fritters.

"Miss Han, the second aunt said that she will come to Miss Han's room to get a needle later." Liuyun leaned over slightly and spoke to Han Leng.

"yes, got it." Han Leng nodded.

By the time Tang Wanqiu arrived, Han Leng had already prepared the acupuncture needles, let Tang Wanqiu sit down comfortably, and shook out a few one-inch-long needles from the rosewood hidden syringe. The left hand was supported on Tang Wanqiu's white and tender skin, and the right hand twisted and quickly pierced into the spine point at the back of the cervical spine, the Fengchi point and some cervical acupuncture points on the hand. When Tang Wanqiu closed his eyes to recuperate, Han Leng handed over the changed clothes to Liuyun by the way: "Liuyun, go." ”

After about a quarter and a half of an hour, the silver needles on each acupuncture point were removed: "Does Erniang feel much more relaxed?" ”

"It's much more comfortable, and the breath is a lot smoother. I'll come back tomorrow, but I'm going to trouble Han Leng. Tang Wanqiu raised her eyebrows: "It's boring in the house, go to East Lake with me to play, and Nanjun will go too." ”

"Okay, Erniang." Han Leng was roasting the silver needle on the fire to sterilize, and after passing the fire a few more times, it was put back into the rosewood hidden syringe.

When he met Nanjun in front of the mansion, Nanjun had changed into a white suit, wearing a gray long horse coat, with a stand-up collar and a secret button, simple but three-dimensional.

Tang Wanqiu stepped up: "Nanjun, we are here, let's wait for you." ”

"Erniang go slowly, Nanjun has just arrived." Gu Nanjun greeted him.

The foreign car that had been prepared in front of the door sent Gu Nanjun and the three of them to East Lake for a visit.

East Lake is located behind the bustling bazaar, along the towering and delicate Zhuge Mountain, the snow-colored egrets are taking agile steps to catch fish and insects on the edge of the shallows, and on the seemingly majestic rockery, the intricately carved pavilions stand along the cliffs, hidden among the layers of dark green trees.

Sitting leisurely on the cruise ship and watching the sparkling turquoise lake in front of him, Han Leng felt that his heart was about to melt into the brilliant sunshine around him. On the boat, an unlit paper lantern leads the way, the curtain is a festive red, and the light bamboo curtain in the middle is slightly rolled up, and each curtain hangs down a hand-woven pendant. In the center of the boat, on a low and sturdy small bamboo table, a few warm cups of tea are fiddling with bursts of white smoke, and the boatman has been shaking the oar, cutting through the lake, and singing beautifully.

"Han Leng, you might see such a scene in Shanghai?" Tang Wanqiu first broke the deathly silence between the three of them.

The scenery of the East Lake is pleasing to Han Leng's eyes: "Shanghai is prosperous and foreign, the water in the Huangpu River looks gray, constantly rushing and foaming, not like this East Lake, clean and elegant, Han Leng likes it very much." ”

"This East Lake water is what our family Nanjun has been accustomed to seeing since he was a child, and he has never tired of it since he was a child, I don't know about others, but if it is Han Leng, I know, I will definitely like it." Tang Wanqiu said and fell her eyes on Gu Nanjun.

"Erniang, when my son was in school, I once heard a sentence that said that what you can't get is always the most fascinating thing and makes people toss and turn. Han Leng, do you think it's right? Gu Nanjun was unwilling to go along with Tang Wanqiu and Han Leng's wishes.

Han sneered: "Oh, Han Leng has never heard of this, what kind of strange reasoning has Nanjun Suri heard and witnessed." ”

As he spoke, the cruise ship had already docked, Gu Nanjun was relieved, and the first one got up and went straight to the market. In the market, there are dozens of paper umbrellas hanging upside down on the small shop selling umbrellas, some are closed, some are half-open, and some are all unfolded, the bamboo umbrella frame and the umbrella handle are firm, and the umbrella surface is depicted with fresh and elegant flowers, birds, fish and insects.

"Young master, do you want to buy a paper umbrella?" The girl who sells the umbrella combs a thick and long braid, with willow eyebrows and eyes, just like a paper umbrella painting.

"No, I'll take a look." Gu Nanjun took a step as he spoke, and turned to the shop selling Facebook on the side, Tang Wanqiu and Han Leng caught up from behind.

Gu Nanjun took out a Sun Xingzhi's face from the truck, the background color was white, and it was painted with smooth and sharp light blue stripes, and the mouth, nose and eyes were filled with heart-shaped red, which hung on his face Mighty and naughty. took off the face of an inverted ingot, raised eyebrows and eyes, and lips like a fierce pill, hung it up for Han Leng, and read in his mouth: "Yes, Master, this woman in front of you, don't be a good person, she is a goblin, she wants to lie to you!" ”

Han Leng listened to it in his ears, and he was also annoyed in his heart, took off his mask, left Nanjun, and plunged into the crowd.

Tang Wanqiu glared at each other angrily: "Nanjun, did you take the wrong medicine?" Good life in the West Chamber, what to sing in the Monkey King three dozen white bone spirits! Go and chase Han Leng back for me! ”

Gu Nanjun had no choice but to hang his head to find Han Leng.

"Han Leng, I'm sorry, I won't say these things that hurt you in the future." Gu Nanjun grabbed Han Leng's delicate arm, afraid that she would escape again, "Thank you for treating my Erniang for that paralysis, my Erniang likes you in my heart, and now only you can coax my Erniang, go back with me." ”

"Erniang, Erniang, Gu Nanjun, if there is no Erniang, you are afraid that you will not look at me Han Leng directly, it is me Han Leng who is beyond his strength, so you don't need to talk like this to abuse me." Han Leng said that tears were raining down, his whole face was hot, hot and red, and the hair blowing from behind was stuck to his jaw with tears, "You let go of me and let me go." ”

Tang Wanqiu also caught up from behind, grabbed Han Leng's arm, and a pair of ice jade earrings hanging on his earlobes trembled for a while: "Han Leng, don't go, it's our Nanjun who is wrong, I will definitely reprimand him when I go back, for the sake of Erniang's face, you can stay." ”

Han Leng listened, then he turned calm and went back with Tang Wanqiu.

"Wipe the tears from your face, it won't look good if your face is dirty." Tang Wanqiu took out the handkerchief in her arms and wiped away Han Leng's tears, leaving only two long eyelashes wet and sticky together.

"Erniang still has to buy a box of Yurong cream, Erniang saw that you didn't bring any powdery fragrance, let's go with me to pick some and buy it back, although Yucheng is more remote than Shanghai, there are alabaster creams, rose powders, hair growth oils for hair nourishment and tooth powder for teeth cleaning, but don't let down our Han Leng's beautiful face." Erniang looked at Han Leng distressedly.

The kind words were warmer than the cloth, and Han Leng was relieved a lot.

Gu Nanjun followed behind the two of them in a curtled manner and did the work of a small servant. The foreign goods store in Yucheng is full of beautifully framed Western paintings, and the clocks and watches are neatly swinging their hands, tick-tock, tick-tock, phonographs that bloom like trumpet flowers, tattooed with beautiful flower veins, and are gently playing Liminghui's song "Drizzle".

The drizzle doesn't stop

The breeze blows non-stop

Breeze and drizzle, willow green

Ouch yo Liu Qingqing

Little kiss don't want your gold

Little Kiss Don't want your silver

Slave, as long as your heart

Ouch yo your heart

The simple and frank lyrics are perfectly blended with the strong traditional opera singing and the tense brass ensemble.

"It's Mrs. Gu who is here, please, what kind of goods are you going to buy today?" The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face.

"I heard that Steward Zhu said that you have a new jade cream in your store, I came here to take a look, and this Miss Han also wants to buy some pink and fat fragrance, Miss Han is from Shanghai, you don't want those inferior goods to fool her." Tang Wanqiu said with a smile.
