After the rain, the air is fresh, the flowers and trees on the island are dripping green, but the stone steps are a little slippery, Zhou Chuan's mother carried Shang Jinghui down first, and the rest of the servants moved chess tables and other utensils to get off the boat, Zhang Yuan and Wuling's master and servant still walked at the end, and went down to the island shore to see, the bilge of the awning boat was half a foot deep, and it would take half an hour to clean up the stagnant water, and there must be a wooden scoop, of course, if the strength is strong enough, drag the boat ashore, and come to the bottom of the sky, but Zhang Yuan and Wuling obviously don't have the strength-

Xiao Jinghui was the most righteous, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Gongzi, you can't sit on this boat, take our boat, our boat has a canopy, and we are not afraid of rain." ”

The four boatwomen of the two awning boats all looked at the eldest lady Shang Yanran, waiting for her to speak.

The wind was strong on the lake, and the golden hairpin beaded headscarf that Shang Ran was wearing was blown a little messy, and just swept the sideburns behind her ears, the strands of hair slipped out again, she didn't realize how elegant and charming her hair-grabbing posture was, and her silky narrow sleeves were also blown to the side of her body by the wind, outlining the graceful posture of fluttering in the wind.

Shang Ran said: "Well, Zhang Gongzi and the two of you will take this boat here, Huang Ma and Cai Gu, you two will send Zhang Gongzi to the east coast." ”

The two boat wives agreed, untied the cable and boarded the boat, Zhang Yuan thanked Shang Ran, and got on the awning boat on the left with Wuling, but Xiao Jinghui followed and stretched out his little hand on the shore: "Brother Zhang Gongzi, pull me, Xiao Hui will also take this boat." ”

The shore was rugged, the rain was slippery, Zhang Yuan was afraid that Shang Jinghui's feet would slip and fall into the lake, so he quickly reached out to hold her, the little girl had Zhang Yuan's hand to borrow strength, and she was bold, stepped onto the bow of the boat, smiled happily, and beckoned to Shang Yuran and Shang Jinglan, who were still on the shore: "Auntie, sister, come on the boat, the boat is leaving." ”

Shang Ran hurriedly approached and said, "Xiaohui, come ashore quickly, let's take that boat." He gestured to the awning boat on the side.

Shang Jinghui said: "No, Xiaohui likes to take this boat, aunt come up quickly." ”

Zhang Yuan knew that Shang Tanran refused to get on the boat, so he would have to wait for the same boat ferry, so he came to say to Fang Chang and said to Shang Tanran: "Otherwise, Miss Shang will take this boat, and I will go to that boat, so as not to let Miss Jinghui go up and down." ”

Shang Jinghui took Zhang Yuan's hand and said: "Brother Zhang Gongzi also takes this boat, everyone takes this boat together, it's so lively." ”

Shang Ran was helpless, and said to the old servant woman Liang's mother and another young servant woman: "You two go to the boat to take care of Xiaohui, don't let her walk around on the boat." ”

The two servants agreed, got on Zhang Yuan's boat, Liang's mother led Shang Jinghui into the tent, sat down, Shang Jinghui asked, "Aren't my aunt and sister coming up?" ”

The old servant woman Liang's mother said, "My aunt and sister take that boat. ”

Shang Jinghui didn't follow, twisting his body to make trouble.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Miss Jinghui, let me tell you a story, okay?" ”

As soon as Shang Jinghui heard the story, he immediately stopped making trouble, opened a pair of cute eyes, and asked, "What is the story?" ”

Zhang Yuan motioned to the boatwoman to support the boat offshore, and then changed Ma Sanli's famous joke "Teasing You" slightly, the thief's name was not called "Teasing You" but "Lying to You", Xiao Jinghui didn't understand at first, Zhang Yuan said it again, this time I heard it clearly, it turned out to be a thief coaxing a child, Xiao Jinghui couldn't laugh, let Liang's mother push open the canopy window, and shouted sharply to the black canopy boat that followed behind: "Aunt-aunt-"

Shang Ran poked his head out of the canopy window of the black canopy, and heard Xiao Jinghui shouting: "Auntie, Brother Zhang Gongzi told me a joke story, it's very interesting, auntie, can Xiao Hui tell you?" ”

Shang Ran said: "Okay, wait a minute, tell my aunt, you do it first, don't move." ”

Shang Jinghui couldn't wait, she thought this story was too interesting, and she wanted to share it with her aunt and sister as soon as possible, so she climbed the canopy window, her body was hugged tightly by Liang's mother, her little head was tilted, and she shouted at the canopy boat behind: "Auntie-there is a thief who wants to steal melons and fruits from a family's vegetable garden, and there is a child guarding the vegetable garden, and the child's father repairs farm tools in the hut, and tells the child-"

Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook, Shang Jinghui was taken aback, and when he turned his head to look, it was already docked.

Zhang Yuan came over and gently shook the little girl's soft and boneless little hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Jinghui, I'll go ashore, goodbye." ”

"Where is Brother Zhang Gongzi going?" Shang Jinghui asked with wide eyes.

Zhang Yuan said: "Go home, go back to my home, in Shanyin." ”

The six-year-old girl said "oh", fell silent for a moment, and watched Zhang Yuan's master and servant jump ashore one after another, Zhang Yuan waved goodbye to her and said goodbye to her.

The old servant woman Liang's mother noticed that the little girl's expression was different, and asked softly, "What's wrong with Miss Jinghui, why is she suddenly sullen?" ”

After asking several times, Shang Jinghui replied, "Brother Zhang Gongzi is gone." ”

Mother Liang stroked her little head and smiled: "Miss Jinghui, this son Zhang is not your own brother, of course he has to leave, he has to go back to his own house, we will go back to our home soon, your mother is waiting for you." ”

Shang Jinghui nodded, but he still felt unhappy.

……

Zhang Yuan on the shore looked at the canopy boat carrying Shang Jinghui and turned west, and the boat behind turned around without waiting for the docking, and he couldn't help but regret it, so he looked at it from a distance, expecting that Shang Tanran should be able to see-

Suddenly, someone behind me shouted, "Jiezi, why are you here!" ”

Zhang Yuan looked back and saw that the third brother Zhang Cao strode over with two servants.

Zhang Cao pushed Zhang Yuan and said with a smile: "I thought you fell into the lake to feed the fish and turtles, where are you hiding in such a heavy rain?" ”

Zhang Yuan pointed to the island in the middle of the lake and said, "I'll go to the island over there." ”

The two canopy boats sailed out of the ten zhang away, and Zhang Cao asked: "Whose boat is that, the He family?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It shouldn't be the He family, it's the merchant's, it's the lake that Miss Shang sent me." ”

"Ah, Lady Shang." Zhang Cao shouted: "I haven't seen it, but you have seen it, but it's annoying!" Hey, meson, how is the Shang girl's appearance? ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at Nengzhu holding a rectangular wooden box in his hand, and said busily: "Is it a telescope, take it for me to see." ”

Zhang Cao said: "This telescope is not good, the distance and the near are blurry, you can try it." ”

Zhang Yuan held on to the telescope, gently rotated the two copper tubes behind, adjusted the focus, and faced Shang Ran's canopy boat, the square canopy window flashed, and quickly pulled it back, and saw Shang Ran sitting by the canopy window with his cheeks in his hand, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and his eyes were sad.

"What's up, meson, does the telescope work?" Zhang Cao asked, stretching his neck.

Zhang Yuan said: "Very good, very clear. Ten zhang away, Shang Ran was similar to what he was looking at, for example, he could see it clearly on the island pavilion, his fine and neat eyebrows were like paintings, his eyes were bright and intoxicating, and she was as smart and lovely as her niece Jinghui, and there was a kind of girl's beauty and sorrow.

"Let me see, let me see, if I can see the Shang girl." Zhang Cao shouted as he came to get the binoculars.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to hold it, and saw that the black canopy boat turned to the northwest direction, and he could no longer see Shang Ran from the canopy window, so he gave the telescope to Zhang Cao: "Okay, look at it." ”

Zhang Cao took a closer look, and laughed "Ha": "Jie Zi, you are really good, it is really clear, wait for me to see, I want to see which boat the Shang girl is on-"

I searched for a long time, but I only saw two boatwomen rowing with their sleeves up, and there was no shadow of the Shang girl, and the two boats went around the island in the middle of the lake one after the other, and disappeared.
