Chapter 299: Lake Center Pavilion
Xiaoque looked cautiously, worried that Xie Yuxuan was hiding tricks, she deliberately walked in front of Luo Shuangyi to make sure that there was nothing unusual on this cruise ship, and then signaled to help Luo Shuangyi walk inside.
Although the boat is not big, it is fully equipped, and there is a delicate ancient wooden tea table in the shipyard, two small windows open on the left and right, and white curtains in front and back.
The cruise ship pushed the ripples to the sides, the white curtains swayed gently, and the breeze blew on the face, if the person around him was not Xie Yuxuan, it was very comfortable.
"I have long heard of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is infinite, and when I see it in the lake today, I really feel it."
Xie Yuxuan took the initiative to speak, breaking the quiet atmosphere between the two, she locked her eyes on Luo Shuangyi's face, and always watched the expression change on her face.
Luo Shuangyi shook his senses, and just then he looked at the lake and was in a trance, almost ignoring the existence of the person in front of him.
"What did you say?"
Luo Shuangyi couldn't help but ask back, only to find out at this time that this Xie Yuxuan, drunk and warm, did not mean to drink, her eyes had been locked on her body.
"It's nothing, Shuangyi, do you know what day it is?"
Xie Yuxuan smiled a little embarrassedly, but quickly suppressed all the emotions in his eyes and asked gently.
Luo Shuangyi thought for a moment, today is not a festival, and there is no agreement between himself and Xie Yuxuan, and asked suspiciously: "What day?" ”
The corners of Xie Yuxuan's mouth rose, sat down at the tea table, and after filling Luo Shuangyi with a cup, he said with a smile: "Today is the annual talent competition, and the location of this competition is on this Huxin Pavilion." ”
Luo Shuangyi was stunned, she had never cared about this kind of competition, and she couldn't bear the title of talented girl, after all, she didn't know anything about musical instruments in ancient times, and as for the rest, she had always taken it as such. I love to learn, so my attainments are not deep.
When Xie Yuxuan first came to this dynasty, she even knew the day of the talent competition, Luo Shuangyi couldn't help but look at this person, and began to look at the princess of the neighboring country again.
"I'm not talented or talented, so I don't care much about these things, and I didn't know there was such a competition today."
Luo Shuangyi doesn't have much interest in this kind of competition, she has always felt that she is a layman, thinking about the way of doing business, and she is indeed lacking in the attainments of art.
Xie Yuxuan had already prepared a cruise ship today, and now she mentioned it in this place again, presumably she wanted to go and watch it.
Luo Shuangyi originally wanted to avoid Fang Qi by swimming in the lake with Xie Yuxuan, but now it seems that he has another trouble.
"Shuangyi, as the most favored daughter of Luowangfu, how can you not have talent, you don't want to trick me, I look forward to you being able to show your hand in front of everyone today, and I can also take a look at what kind of style your country's talented women are."
Xie Yuxuan heard that Luo Shuangyi had no talent, and she was overjoyed, it seems that there is a way to see her jokes today, she pretended to be unbelievable, and decided that Luo Shuangyi must be a talented girl.
"The princess doesn't know, I've been stubborn since I was a child, so I don't understand these things, since I've come, then I'll go with the princess to see, as for the competition, I will not be able to participate."
Luo Shuangyi politely rejected Xie Yuxuan's request, she could already imagine that if she really played, she was afraid that she would become a joke in everyone's eyes.
"Princess, the ship has arrived."
After the boatman outside shouted loudly, Xie Yuxuan stood up excitedly, lifted the Luo skirt under his feet and walked forward.
"I didn't expect the ship to arrive so soon, let's go."
Regarding Luo Shuangyi's refusal, Xie Yuxuan didn't take it seriously.
Standing above the water, the pavilion in the middle of the lake is not so much a pavilion as a small artificial island, several small pavilions connected by corridors, and in the middle is a huge pavilion of antique style, each of which can be connected to each other by a promenade.
This is indeed a good place for those literati and scholars, full of charm.
"Miss, I've heard a long time ago that there is such a place in the middle of this lake, and it's the first time I've seen it today."
The little bird's eyes lit up, and she walked to the bow of the boat and looked directly at the scenery in front of her, why the pavilion built in the middle of the lake could be so strong, and how it was built, these doubts all appeared in her little head.
Seeing her so excited, Luo Shuangyi couldn't help but smile and said: "If you are curious, when you go up, you can take a walk here, but be careful, this lake is deep." ”
The reason why Luo Shuangyi called Xiaoque was because he was worried that Xie Yuxuan would take him to a secluded place and have a plan, since there are people coming and going in this lake pavilion now, he doesn't have to worry.
There are a lot of small boats around the Lake Center Pavilion, and there must be a lot of young ladies who came to participate in the competition this time.
Luo Shuangyi carefully lifted the Luo skirt under his feet, and after getting off the boat, he stepped on the ladder connecting the pavilion and the boat, stroked the railing with one hand, and walked up cautiously.
Xiaoque followed, although she felt novel, she still accompanied Luo Shuangyi every step of the way: "Miss, in my opinion, I still follow you." ”
After that, he glanced at Xie Yuxuan, who had just gone to the pavilion, in short, Her Royal Highness the princess must be uneasy and kind.
Walking from here to the most densely populated place, Xie Yuxuan kept muttering in Luo Shuangyi's ear: "We are all here, if you watch, how boring it is, it is better to register and play together." ”
Luo Shuangyi decisively refused: "The princess can give it a try, I'd better forget it." ”
Xie Yuxuan still didn't give up, pestered her and said: "I have also been a stubborn character since I was a child, I am not good at learning arts, we just go to have fun, it doesn't hurt." ”
Before Luo Shuangyi could answer, Xie Yuxuan walked straight towards the position of the registrar, and wrote his and Luo Shuangyi's names on the piece of paper.
"Shuangyi, I have signed up for all of us, I am really looking forward to your performance, it must be unforgettable."
Xie Yuxuan's words are meaningful.
The ladies dressed up and gathered here today, with voices coming and going, laughter and laughter, and everyone came prepared
Luo Shuangyi looked at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, she had to compromise when she wanted to speak.
Now that she has registered, if she refuses to participate, she will become the laughing stock of everyone at that time, and if she doesn't play, presumably Xie Yuxuan will continue to make noise in her ears.
Xiaoque lowered her head and read a sentence in Luo Shuangyi's ear: "Miss, she sincerely wants to embarrass you, but she chose the wrong person, and the phoenix tail is your strong point." ”
Luo Shuangyi was a little helpless, Xiaoque still didn't know the truth, the person who was really familiar with this instrument was her original owner, and now she was useless except for knowing the chemical elements on the periodic table.
"The talent contest is about to start, and we're here at the right time."
Xie Yuxuan said that everything was a coincidence.
Luo Shuangyi couldn't help but glance at the bottom of her heart, she clearly calculated the time, how could the time come was just right, but she didn't bother to demolish her, presumably the princess of this neighboring country should have a stunt, and she would be ready to make a splash.
If you want to be brilliant, you must have a foil, after hearing that she has no talent and no talent, Xie Yuxuan chose herself without hesitation, and the reason for this can be imagined.
Xie Yuxuan led Luo Shuangyi into the room with one hand, and all the people waiting were sitting on chairs, and they also found a place to sit down.
"Shuangyi, why are you here!"
A lively voice sounded behind her, Luo Shuangyi turned around, it was really the little county lord, and there was another old friend of her standing beside her, Qu Wanqing.
Qu Wanqing's eyes were filled with joy, and he was thinking, it was a pity that Luo Shuangyi was missing here today, but he didn't think about it, he thought about it in his heart, and he looked up and saw it.
Seeing that she and Xie Yuxuan were sitting together, the little county lord couldn't help but say, and stepped forward to drag Luo Shuangyi up.
Qu Wanqing followed with small steps.
Seeing this, Xie Yuxuan couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, this little county lord was too much of a nobody, so he obviously saw herself, but she treated her as if she were air.
"Shuangyi, we just went to your house to look for you, and the housekeeper said that you went out early, so you came here."
The little county lord held Luo Shuangyi's hand and didn't let go.
"I ......"
Luo Shuangyi wanted to clarify that her purpose was not to participate in the competition, but in this way, maybe it would be difficult to hide the matter of the perfume shop, so she simply pushed the matter to Xie Yuxuan.
"The princess has always been looking for me lately, and I rarely have time to stay in the house."
Luo Shuangyi was a little distressed, what she said was not nonsense.
"I see, this Xie Yuxuan looks like an annoying spirit, let's just ignore her, by the way, what are you going to perform today?"
The little county lord pouted and grimaced behind Xie Yuxuan's back.
"Just now I got on Xie Yuxuan's boat, I only knew that the annual talent competition was held here, I didn't prepare anything, I'm afraid I'm going to make a fool of myself today, don't laugh at me when the time comes."
Now, no matter what the result is, I have to admit it.
"Don't get in the way, in fact, before I came, I had already calculated, and the one who can win the title of talented woman today is Shuangyi you."
The little county lord winked at Luo Shuangyi.
Qu Wanqing also said with relief at this time: "Shuangyi, you don't have to worry, just relax your mind, presumably with your ingenuity, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting behind you will not be difficult for you." ”
Luo Shuangyi's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "In addition to musical instruments, there are so many competitions?" ”
"You don't know? I am a talented woman, must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the competition is divided into two days, today is the piano chess, tomorrow is calligraphy and painting. ”
Qu Wanqing explained that she mainly accompanied the county lord on this trip, and although she did not sign up, she also understood the rules.
