Chapter Ninety-Two: Outing
In the last few days of early autumn and July, the weather in Qingzhou finally cooled down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The autumn breeze takes away the heat that has raged for months, and brings the long-awaited comfort and coolness.
The talented ladies and ladies of Qingzhou, who were stuffed at home in the scorching heat, went out for outings one after another, and the scenic spots outside the city began to be lively again.
Today is Furolan's birthday.
Zhong Hao has not met her for a long time since he met her once at the Peach Blossom Poetry Meeting held at the foot of Yunmen Mountain this year.
Although there is Liu Yuxi, the matchmaker, who passes books to each other for them, it is always difficult to truly comfort the pain of lovesickness if they can't see each other.
Fu Bi came to Qingzhou to take up his post, and he didn't bring any family members, only Fu Ruolan to his knees. Now it is the autumn harvest season, Fu Bi attaches great importance to the autumn harvest work this year, and went to various counties to inspect the autumn harvest work a few days ago. Today's Fu Ruolan's birthday, Fu Bi is not there, and she can't help but be a little lonely, so Zhong Hao took the opportunity to ask Liu Yuxi to ask her out for an outing, celebrate her birthday, and meet her by the way.
And they came out on horseback. Zhong Hao thought that Fu Ruolan couldn't ride a horse, but he didn't expect that Fu Ruolan seemed to be delicate and timid before, and her horseback riding skills were even better than Zhong Hao. When everyone rode out together, Fu Ruolan even pointed out some details of Zhong Hao's riding mistakes from time to time.
"When riding a horse, don't put all your feet in the stirrups, because if the horse gets out of the reins, it can easily cause danger. And when you get on the horse, don't just sit on the horse, then the horse will think that you are a novice and may bully you! ”
At this time, the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty was more open than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and many of the ladies and ladies liked to ride horses when they went out. Horseback riding is a great way to experience the joy of an outing than sitting in a stuffy carriage.
Fu Ruolan used to always be gentle and elegant, with a shy and gentle temperament. Today, he wore a white samurai uniform that was easy to ride, and a pair of deerskin boots, which were very sassy and neat, and Zhong Hao was a little stunned when he rode on the horse.
"Idiot, what are you looking at?" Fu Ruolan glanced at Zhong Hao with a lot of grace, and said crisply.
Belch...... Even the personality seems to be a lot more sassy.
Wow, the changeable little girl, this dress has changed, and her personality has become sassy, hehe, but I like it, Zhong Hao thought secretly.
"Naturally, it's a beauty!" Zhong Hao still looked at Fu Ruolan with fiery eyes.
"Bad guy", in the end, Fu Ruolan couldn't stand it, glanced at her, beat her horse and walked a few steps quickly, and rushed to Liu Yuxi's side.
Cui Ye looked at Zhong Hao from the side and said with a smile: "Wen Xuan seems to have learned a lot from the third brother~ flow skills!" ”

Fu Ruolan had a birthday today and wanted to go to Shangxiang first, so everyone rode straight to the west of Qingzhou City.
First accompany Fu Ruolan to Longxing Temple, which is located at the foot of Lotus Mountain in the west of the city.
The scenery along the way is beautiful and fascinating.
There are many kinds of fruit trees on Lotus Mountain, this is the time when the melons and fruits are ripe, the yellow pears and red apples are hanging all over the branches, and the scenery of a bumper harvest.
After returning from the incense on Longxing Temple, everyone walked to the shore of Yaowang Lake and stopped, where they planned to have a picnic.
This place is not far from the Cui family's grange, Cui Ye asked the servants to bring some fruits, vegetables, cups and dishes for the picnic, and asked them all to go back. Everyone felt that it was more fun to have a picnic today.
Fu Ruolan and Liu Yuxi were cleaning up vegetables, Cui Ye and Zhong Hao went to the lake to fish, according to Cui Ye, the fish in Yaowang Lake at this time were the most delicious and fat, and he shouted that he must catch a few grilled food.
In the shade of the lake, Zhong Hao and Cui Ye sat in the shade of the willow tree with a horse, each holding a fishing rod in their hands.
Fishing rods made of slender green bamboo poles, fishing lines made of silk threads, floats made of goose feathers, hooks made of bent sewing needles, and bait made of earthworms dug out of the wetlands by the river.
Zhong Hao originally fished and played with the purpose of leisure. He thought it would be difficult to catch a fish with this wild tackle. Unexpectedly, there were many fish in Yaowang Lake this year, and they were relatively stupid, and Zhong Hao quickly caught a lot.
In the small fish basket next to Maza, there were already half a basket of fish in a short time, and Cui Ye also caught a lot.
Seeing that the fish were almost caught, Zhong Hao beckoned Cui Ye to come and clean up the fish in the fish basket together, there were too many of them to eat. Scraping fish scales and washing internal organs, Cui Ye probably has never seen these jobs, let alone done them.
Zhong Hao knew that he was definitely unwilling to do this kind of work, so he beckoned Cui Ye to come over, and had a bad taste to tease the young master of this family. Unexpectedly, Cui Ye was unequivocal, came over and asked Zhong Hao how to clean up the fish, and directly started to do it.
Zhong Hao couldn't help but admire Cui Ye very much, he was obviously a young master of a family who was born in Zhong Mingding's family, but he was not self-conscious, and he could do these things by throwing himself down, which was much better than those children of the family who were above the top. With this temperament, Cui Ye's future must be limitless.
Tie a stand with a tree branch and light the bonfire, Zhong Hao brushed the washed fish with vegetable oil with a small brush, threaded it with a skewer, and put it on the stand to bake.
The grilled fish is bubbling with grease stains and dripping on the campfire, giving off an enticing aroma. Fu Ruolan thought it was funny, so she came over and rushed to help Zhong Hao grill the fish. It's just that her skills are too poor, and she will soon be baked, and her face will be smeared with a lot of black ash.
Zhong Hao sighed secretly: It's not good to marry a young lady, you can't cook!
He took a piece of linen cloth and spread it on the ground, and everyone put the prepared dishes and wine on the table, sat down on the ground, and began to feast.
Liu Yuxi held a glass of Huang Chengcheng's fruit wine brewed by Cuijia Grange and greeted Cui Ye and Zhong Hao with a smile, and said, "Today's birthday of Sister Ruolan, let's all wish Sister Ruolan a happy birthday!" ”
Zhong Hao and Cui Ye hurriedly toasted together.
Fu Ruolan said happily: "Thank you, this is the most interesting birthday in my life, I will never forget today!" ”
Liu Yuxi laughed and said: "I can't forget it, it's because there is a great talent to accompany me!"
Fu Ruolan's personality seems to be much more sassy today, she didn't blush and cowardly when she met Liu Yuxi's ridicule as before, but today she smiled generously: "People think it's interesting, mainly because I am accompanied by Sister Yuxi today, what does it have to do with what kind of talent?" Besides, apart from Brother-in-law Cui, how can there be any great talents here?
Liu Yuxi said with a smile: "Sister Ruolan, don't say anything wrong!" ”
Cui Ye said in a flattering voice: "Wen Xuan, why don't you hurry up and give the first words to Miss Fu?" Hurry up and let her see where the genius is! ”
Zhong Hao listened to Liu Yuxi and Cui Ye's words, and said in his heart: It seems that he is going to take the first word again to show some elegance. These talented ladies and ladies of the Great Song Dynasty are not good, every time there is a feast, they can make some poems and vassal elegance, which is too delayed to eat delicious food.
However, Zhong Hao knew that he couldn't do it, so he had to make Fu Ruolan happy. He happened to write a poem recently, and he happened to take the opportunity to give it to Fu Ruolan, so he smiled and said: "Then I will make a small order for "Qingping Le". ”
At that moment, Zhong Hao recited aloud a poem he had made.
Red dust dreams, mistaken lovesickness. Who is drunk with a glass of turbid wine, and has made an appointment with plum blossoms?
A curtain of moonlight is amorous, and the lovesickness is nameless. The original intention has not changed, and the poor scattered words.
Today, Zhong Hao is reluctant to plagiarize other people's poems. This poem was done by Zhong Hao himself recently, and it is a description of him and Fu Ruolan, which is really emotional. However, the lyrics themselves are afraid that they are at a level level.
But Fu Ruolan liked this little order very much. "Have you ever asked the plum blossom to know?" Didn't they meet at the plum blossom poetry meeting in Runyuan?
"The original intention in my mind has not changed, and the poor scattered words", yes, their feelings have not changed, but they can only rely on Liu Yuxi's communication letter and words to send lovesickness, and it is difficult to comfort the pain of lovesickness. (To be continued.) )
