Chapter 52: Pleasure (2)

After breakfast, Ye Gongzi told Jiang Wan that they were going to play on the water today, and Jiang Wan was immediately interested after hearing this.

"I told you yesterday that it will be rainy today, which is suitable for a boat trip."

Jiang Wan was a little surprised when she heard this, she thought it was just him casually mentioned, but she didn't expect him to really take it to heart.

"I didn't think that Ye Gongzi would really take me to the water to enjoy today."

Ye Gongzi smiled, "Do I seem to be the kind of person who can talk empty words, and I can also help you go home and help you punish your stepmother." ”

"Don't bother Ye Gongzi."

The second half of Ye Gongzi's sentence surprised Jiang Wan, he didn't expect that he still remembered the "life experience" he mentioned casually. Jiang Wan didn't know what to say for a while, so he simply changed the topic awkwardly.

"I'll handle my family affairs by myself, and I'll leave the capital and go back to my hometown in a few days."

When Ye Gongzi heard that Jiang Wan was leaving, he didn't expect his unintentional words to be counterproductive.

"Then I won't interfere, but if you need something, you can tell me, and I will definitely help."

"Thank you Ye Gongzi for your kindness."

The carriage was ready, Ye Gongzi made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Wan, and then turned around and got into his carriage. After Jiang Wan sat in the carriage, his mind still did not calm down.

After a few days of traveling in the capital, she can no longer live in Ye Gongzi's mansion, and if she disappears, Lu Zhixing will definitely search the palace, and if she can't find her, she may be found in the capital.

If she stays in the capital for one more day, the chance of being caught will be greater, and she doesn't want to go back. When she was in the royal palace before, she couldn't leave because of an emergency, so she must seize the opportunity this time.

The light rain outside was still dripping, and there were obviously fewer shops open than yesterday, and pedestrians on the road were wearing oil-paper umbrellas of various colors.

The blazing heat brought to this land by the bright sunlight a few days ago was gently soothed by this silent rain.

"Miss Ling, we're here."

It was Ye Gongzi who said this, and when Jiang Wan lifted the curtain, he saw Ye Gongzi holding an oil-paper umbrella stretching out a hand to her, "The ground is slippery, you have to be careful when you come down." ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Wan stepped out of the carriage with the support of Ye Gongzi, and they arrived at a stone bridge, and no one walked nearby. Ye Gongzi handed her an umbrella, "The boatman has already come." ”

Jiang Wan looked in the direction that Ye Gongzi was looking, and a small boat rowed over in the distance of the stone bridge, the boatman was wearing a robe, wearing a hat on his head, and the bamboo pole in his hand was swinging one by one.

The boat docked, Ye Gongzi helped Jiang Wan to get on the boat, and Yun Xing followed them silently.

"Boatman, you can go."

"Okay, you two sit down."

The boat shook slightly, and then slowly moved down the river. The boat is not big, but it is very well stocked. There was a small table with a cushion and a small stove with a flame on which a pot of water was boiling.

There was a food box and a set of tea sets on the small table, Jiang Wan felt very new to all this, this slow and free style was the most comfortable state she thought.

Ye Gongzi opened the food box in front of him, took out the dim sum in it one by one and placed it on the small table, and Shui Kaiyun walked over to make tea for them.

"I saw that you liked this snack yesterday, so I asked people to buy some more today."

"Thank you Ye Gongzi, Ye Gongzi always takes care of me like this, so I don't know what to say."

Jiang Wan got along with him for a few days, so he was not so polite, picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth.

"Eat slowly, choke carefully."

He poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Jiang Wan, looking at Jiang Wan's appearance, he couldn't help but think of the woman who had smiled brightly at him, and the person's eyebrows and eyes were a little unclear in his memory.

Jiang Wan and Ye Gongzi sat on the boat, chatting, Jiang Wan chatted about some interesting things in his own world, and Ye Gongzi listened to her with a smile. Along the way, there was a lot of laughter between them, and the boatman occasionally interjected a finishing touch, which made Jiang Wan praise again and again.

The boatman went all the way out of the capital along the river, and Jiang Wan watched them get farther and farther away from those buildings, and some scattered people could be seen around.

"This is out of the capital." Jiang Wan thought in his heart that if he wanted to leave the capital, he couldn't go through the city gate, because there would be soldiers at the city gate to verify his identity.

It seems that taking the waterway is a very safe method, and thanks to Ye Gongzi reminding himself.

"Thank you Ye Gongzi for taking me on a boat today."

"Where, I also recently returned to Beijing and wanted to go around, and the appearance of Miss Ling happened to be my companion."

He still had a peaceful smile on his face, making it impossible to doubt every word he spoke.

The boatman walked to the vicinity of a dense forest and said, "Do you see that forest, there is a wetland there, and most of the waterfowl in the vicinity are there." ”

Jiang Wan was very interested after hearing this, and walked to the deck to look into the forest, but unfortunately he couldn't see a bird.

"It's a pity that I can't see it today."

"Not necessarily."

The boatman smiled and whistled long into the woods, and then the woods began to make a rattling sound, and then many waterfowl flew out.

The waterfowl flew towards the boat, Jiang Wan's eyes widened, she had never seen such a scene. When the waterfowl saw that there were other people on the boat, they didn't get too close, but just circled around the boat.

"I travel back and forth to this territory a lot, and when there are no guests, I make a living by fishing, and when there are many fish, I feed them, and sometimes they get entangled in fishing nets, so I save them."

"So over time they got to know me."

The boatman is honest and honest, with a smug and hearty smile on his face. Jiang Wan couldn't help but sigh at the tacit connection between the boatman and the waterfowl.

Ye Gongzi also saw it for the first time, and he didn't know when he stood on the deck.

"It's amazing."

The boatman waved at the birds in the sky, and the birds flew back into the forest. Jiang Wan's gaze kept following the flock of birds, and she envied their freedom. When I came back to my senses, I found that I was holding an umbrella above my head at some point.

"If you want to get distracted, maybe you have to come in, it's not good to get wet."

"Thank you."

It is estimated that at noon, the boat family sent Ye Gongzi and Jiang Wan back to the capital.

Because of the rainy weather, Jiang Wan did not go out in the afternoon, but looked at the books that Ye Gongzi specially gave the guests to read in his spare time in the room. In the evening, after a day of rain, it finally stopped. The glow of the west shines through the clouds, as if the clouds are burning, and the clouds are gradually thinning.

"Tomorrow afternoon is the teahouse I mentioned before, and I said I would take you to see it."

"And I heard that there is a dinner market tonight, and it should be held as usual depending on the weather."

Jiang Wan's eyes became brighter and brighter with Ye Gongzi's words, and there are still interesting places to go tomorrow. Ye Gongzi seemed to glow in her eyes, what a good person.

"So you rest early tonight and conserve your strength."

"Well, Ye Gongzi will also rest early." Jiang Wan turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something, and said to him, "You don't need to light that soothing incense tonight." ”

Ye Gongzi didn't expect Jiang Wan to suddenly mention An Shenxiang, so he paused for a moment and said, "If you don't need it, I won't let anyone order it." ”

When Jiang Wan returned to Yuzhu Garden, Uncle Liang walked over, "Master, what is the relationship between this girl and you?" ”

He asked Yun Xing before, but Yun Xing ignored no one except his master, he was too concerned, so he had to ask him personally.

"As I said, she's my guest."

"Really just guests?" Uncle Liang naturally didn't believe it, and he hoped that Jiang Wan's appearance could bring him out of the haze of the past, although he didn't know Jiang Wan's origin, he also felt that Jiang Wan was a good girl.

"Uncle Liang, you have overstepped."

Ye Gongzi's voice was rarely cold, if Jiang Wan listened to it here, she would definitely think of a person she hated very much.

"Childe forgives sins."

Uncle Liang knew that he had said too much, so he retreated silently. Ye Gongzi looked at the direction Jiang Wan left and was silent, Jiang Wan was indeed not just a guest to him, but he didn't understand what kind of feelings it was.

"She's a lot like her, but not like her."

Uncle Liang and Yun Xing were stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and then they understood what it meant, and they both lowered their eyes.

In the courtyard, people occasionally walked by, stepping on the stagnant water on the ground, making a crackling sound, and the sky with the glow of the sun turned into a night, and unknown insects chirped in the flower pond.

None of the three masters and servants said a word, and some things could not be mentioned again, just like why there was no plaque in this mansion, they could not be mentioned.

Jiang Wan sat in front of the window, looking at the yard, she missed Hio'er a little, and she didn't know how Hiren'er was going to be when she disappeared in the past few days. When the summer sun comes out, it brings an irresistible heat wave, which evaporates all the stagnant water of yesterday, and I only feel that a lot of water between heaven and earth has been pumped away.

The sound of cicadas chirping made Jiang Wan a little irritable, but she was much happier when she thought of being able to perform this afternoon. Whether she was in her previous life or in this life, she had never lived such a leisurely and comfortable life.

In her previous life, she had to run around for business every day, even if she went to a beautiful place, she only lived in a hotel and read various contract documents.

"I'm going to walk around the world, and no one can stop me."

She doesn't want to be contaminated with everything from the original owner, she only lives for herself, and she hates scheming and strife the most. After he left the capital, he was not afraid that Lin Yao would attack him.

In the afternoon, Ye Gongzi took Jiang Wan to the teahouse, because he had made an appointment in advance, and the shopkeeper left them the best place.

Because this storyteller is very famous, Ye Gongzi put on a mask today and handed one to Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan was a little curious, "Why are you wearing a mask?" ”

"I was degraded because I offended high-ranking officials in the court, and there will be a lot of people who come today, so I wear it so as not to be recognized, and you are from the palace, so it's good to wear it."

"I see."
