Chapter 30: Cruises
Song Qianhu cleaned up the biggest thorn in the academy, and the other students didn't dare to have any objections, and they all completed the test according to his requirements very honestly. Although the three-day exam was intense and hard, it was fortunate that the college gave me two days off.
Since coming to Jiangzhou, Gao Jing and they have been busy with exams and classes, and they have never visited Jiangzhou City well, and they will devote themselves to studying in the days after the holiday.
"Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Xu Qing asked.
"You can go anywhere, I'm okay with that." Gao Jing said indifferently. In ancient times, except for restaurants, teahouses, bookstores, and temples, there was no place to spend time, so it didn't matter where Gao Jing went!
"Let's go to the teahouse and listen to the story!" Gao Yu suggested!
"Haven't you heard enough of those stories?" Xu Qing said a little speechlessly.
"And where do you say you're going?" Gao Yu asked.
"Why don't we go to the lake!" Gao Jing suggested.
"Swimming in the lake?" Gao Lang asked with some interest.
"We rent a boat to tour the lake, we can chat and play chess on the boat, if we are bored, we can also fish on the boat by ourselves, and let the boatman cook the fish we catch, so that we can play and eat well, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone!" Gao Jing explained.
"Sounds good, let's swim in the lake!" Gao Lang happily agreed.
"Second brother, what does Brother Xu think?" Gao Jing asked.
"The third brother's suggestion is very good, we have never swam in the lake together, let's try it tomorrow!" Gao Yu replied.
"I agree!" Xu Qing said.
Gao Jing saw that everyone agreed to the arrangement of visiting the lake tomorrow, so he instructed Mingquan: "Mingquan, you go to the lake to rent a boat now, and arrange everything for our tour of the lake tomorrow!" Mingquan replied respectfully that he would go to the lake to arrange a tour of the lake!
The next morning, Gao Jing and the others had breakfast early and set off for the lake in a carriage. As soon as I got out of the carriage and looked at the lake, the willow trees by the lake had just pulled out their tender green shoots, and the willows swayed in the wind, like a beautiful little girl dancing. The breeze blows, the lake ripples up a circle of halos, there are a few ducks playing on the lake, groups of fish play happily in the lake, from time to time there are pleasure boats gliding on the lake, looking at this beautiful scenery, the whole person is also bright!
"Mingquan, where is the cruise ship you rented?" Gao Jing asked.
"Young master, the cruise ship over there in the pavilion is rented by the minions!" Mingquan said, pointing to the big boat docked by the pavilion. After speaking, he led Gao Jing and them towards the cruise ship. After stepping on the cruise ship, Gao Jing looked around, the boat was clean and tidy, and the tables and chairs in the dock were complete, and he nodded with satisfaction: "This boat is well rented, go back and reward you!" Mingquan said happily: "Young master, you are satisfied!" Is it okay for the minion to tell the boatman to sail now? Gao Jing nodded and waved his hand to let Mingquan go and tell the boatman to start the boat!
Gao Jing put the Go guqin they brought in the dock, picked up the fish food prepared by the boatman and threw it in the lake, and after a while, many beautiful fish swam in the distance to grab food, looking at the lake and water, listening to the beautiful sound of the piano in the distance, it feels really pleasant!
Gao Jing and they fed the fish food for a while and then went back to the dock to play chess, Gao Yu just played a few games of Go with Gao Jing and was a little frustrated: "I don't play, I lose every time!" After hearing this, Xu Qing immediately jumped and said, "You get up, I'll follow him!" Gao Yu rolled his eyes and said, "You can't even go down with me, do you still want to go down with the third brother?" Who gives you confidence? Xu Qing said indifferently: "I want you to take care of it!" As he spoke, he pulled Gao Yu up, sat opposite Gao Jing and began to play.
After losing a few games in a row, Xu Qing began to regret the chess non-stop, Gao Jing was a little speechless and said: "Brother Xu, if you regret the chess again, I won't play with you!" ”
Xu Qing hurriedly promised: "Brother Jing, I promise that there will be no next time for my brother!" ”
Gao Jing glanced at him and said, "Believe you once!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Qing pointed out the window and said, "Look, there are eagles flying in the sky!" Gao Jing hurriedly looked up at the window, and when he found that there was nothing in the air, he withdrew his gaze to pay attention to the chessboard, and suddenly found that Xu Qing regretted another move when he looked out the window, Gao Jing was a little angry and said: "Brother Xu, you regret chess again!" ”
As soon as Xu Qing saw that he was discovered by Gao Jing, he hurriedly ran to the deck, and Gao Jing saw that he had run away and hurriedly chased after him. As soon as they ran to the deck, they heard someone shouting: "Someone has fallen into the water" and "Save people", Gao Jing They looked into the lake, only to see a girl in a pink dress was splashing up and down in the water and kept shouting for help, Xu Qing immediately wanted to jump into the lake to save people, Gao Jing hurriedly grabbed him and ordered: "Mingquan, hurry up and call the boat lady to go into the water to save people!" ”
"Yes, young master!" After Mingquan finished speaking, he hurriedly went to find the boat lady.
"Brother Jing, why don't you let me go into the water to save people?" Xu Qing was a little puzzled.
"Brother Xu, it's not that I won't let you save people, but it's a girl who fell into the water, you go down to save her and her reputation will be damaged, or it's more appropriate for the boat lady to save her!" Gao Jing explained.
Xu Qing thought for a while and nodded, "Brother Jing is more thoughtful!" ”
Gao Yu watched the boat lady swim to the girl who fell into the water first, picked her up and swam away, and hurriedly grabbed Gao Jing and asked, "Brother Jing, where is the boat girl going to get the girl who fell into the water?" ”
"Of course it's sent to the boat where she fell overboard, can it get us on the boat?" Gao Jing didn't have a good airway.
"Can't you?" Gao Yu asked.
"Second brother, all men on our ship except for the boat lady are men, and getting her on our ship will hinder the girl's reputation!" Gao Lang hurriedly explained.
"Hey, it's really troublesome to be a girl, this also hinders the reputation, that also hinders the reputation, fortunately I'm a man!" Gao Yu sighed!
After hearing this, Gao Jing was also glad in his heart that he was dressed as a man when he crossed, if he was dressed as a woman, he really didn't know what to do!
After the boat lady rescued the girl who fell into the water to her own boat, Gao Jing and the others returned to the dock to continue the game. Just playing a game of chess, the boat lady led a girl who looked like a maid came over, and thanked her after saluting: "The slave and maid thank you for your life-saving grace on behalf of my young lady, my young lady fell into the water and could not be in person to thank you, I specially ordered the slave and maid to prepare a thin gift to apologize, and I hope you will forgive me!" ”
"It's good that your girl is okay! We are also doing it with a fee, please don't take your girl to heart! Gao Jing replied politely.
"The slave and maid thanked you again for my girl, but the girl was infected with typhoid fever, and the slave and maid were in a hurry to go back to serve, so I won't bother your sons!" She replied a little anxiously.
After hearing this, Gao Jing arranged for the boatlady to send the woman who thanked her to get off the boat, and instructed: "Mingquan, you will reward the boatlady with a tael of silver!" ”
"Yes, young master!" Mingquan replied respectfully.
Gao Jing nodded and went back to the dock with Gao Lang and the others to continue the game!
