Chapter 49 The Garden
The carriage slowly stopped next to the stone lion at the gate of the garden, and Song Yansheng jumped out of the carriage with the sugar gourd strings he bought from the merchant, looked at the sun, and estimated that it was about a quarter of an hour late.
This garden is a private house, I heard that it is a very clever master to design out, the house is planted with green bamboo, the shape resembles the word "one" and thus gets the name, it is a famous garden that is quite elegant in Yangzhou City.
The person who answered the door changed Jingyun today, and in the midst of the greenery, he was dressed in black, which was very eye-catching.
"Sixth girl Kang'an." He bowed and stretched out his arms to invite, "The master has been waiting for the girl for a long time. β
Song Yansheng was fond of sweetness, took a bite of the last two sugar gourds on the bamboo stick, stuffed them into his mouth, and followed him into the garden. The layout of the park is not complicated, there are bamboo rockeries everywhere, and the rockery furnishings are very interesting, she watched while slowly chewing the hawthorn candy in her mouth. Walked through the pavilion corridor and pavilion, through the sea of bamboo, it turned out that there was a lake in the park, the sun poured, the water on the lake was rippling, and a small boat docked at the water's edge.
This garden is built by the lake, and it is very exquisite. She walked to the stone platform on the lake, Jingyun knelt on one knee and whispered to the small boat on the side, "The sixth girl has arrived." β
The boat was extremely quiet, and when Song Yansheng almost thought that Duan Xun was asleep, there was a sound of water waves from Qing Lingling, and then there was a low and confusing voice, like a jade reel, which was very good: "Sixth girl, come up." β
She was slightly shorter, and her probe looked into the silk mantle penalty, only faintly touching a white dress. She was about to take Hengbo to the boat, but was stopped by Jingyun, "Miss Hengbo don't go up, come with me." β
"Uh...... All right. Girl, I'll go down and wait. Hengbo also looked at her with her probe, very curious, but the master made a sound, so he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and left with Jingyun.
The huge place near the lake is cool and comfortable, with a few bird cries occasionally, and it is extraordinarily quiet first. Song Yansheng carefully lifted his skirt and stepped off the stone platform and stepped on the small boat, and his face was full of cool moisture. She sighed, tossed aside the veil that had spread out in the wind, and lowered her head to peek inside.
Duan Xun sat inside, with a few in his hand, some delicate melon and fruit snacks, a book was randomly thrown on the cushion, and half of the water in the porcelain cup was drunk, and the fragrance of tea was scattered.
He was dressed in a dusty white robe, embroidered widely, with untied black hair, lazily scattered around his arm propped up on a few points, and the five fingers of the hair were as white as jade.
Song Yansheng quietly walked a few steps closer, and sure enough, he saw a bamboo fishing rod in his other hand, and he really had the leisure to fish here.
Duan Xun's phoenix eyes only raised slightly at this time to look over. His side face is already stunningly beautiful, and when he turns his face to look at it again, he has a stunning sense of beauty with anticipation from yesterday's epiphany blooming, and there is more of an indescribable feeling than what he has seen in the past.
Between the water and the sky, and one more beauty, Song Yansheng felt that it was very pleasing to the eye. But who expected Duan Xun's next sentence to make her want to turn around and leave immediately.
"Sixth girl, you seem to be a lot rounder."
ββ¦β¦β
I haven't seen you for so long, will anyone take this as a greeting?
Song Yansheng replied with some displeasure: "Sixth Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still the same 'talking'." β
Duan Xunfeng's eyes were clear, and he patted the bamboo mat beside him with a bright smile, and he didn't speak well at all: "I'm praising you." Sixth girl, sit down. β
ββ¦β¦β
She didn't know where he was complimenting.
After she bent down and sat down, the small painting boat shook gently again, and a figure fell from the bow of the boat.
"Six girls!" She looked out, and sure enough, it was Yiyun, holding a long pole and waving at her with a bamboo hat on her head, it seemed that she was playing the role of a boatman. The small boat began to glide across the water in a swaying manner, bringing out the sound of the water, which was very pleasant. She stretched out her hand and flicked it into the water, and it was as cool and comfortable as she imagined.
Duan Xun sat next to him, changed the bait in a leisurely manner, threw out the fishing rod again, and then didn't care, just watched Song Yansheng lean out and play in the water.
Jiangnan is really a nurturing person, these six girls are still eating with their mouths bulging, their faces and arms are white and moist, and the whole person is like a ...... A glowing East Pearl.
He was telling the truth, but he didn't like to hear it to any girl. Song Yan's voice is a lot mellow, but his body hasn't grown much. He remembered that in the past few months, Yuan Ying's height has been like a strip, and the six girls are still just the right amount of white and petite.
"What are you looking at?"
Song Yansheng turned over to look at him, propped up the bamboo pole he had dropped, and dragged his chin and half-lay down, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
The boat stopped in the middle of the lake, and the breeze blew and the water shook in circles. There were some residual lotuses in the middle of the lake, and she grabbed a lotus pod, but her strength was too small to pull it off, and the person was dragged forward. Duan Xun grabbed her funny, and with a gentle pull of his other hand, the shower head was in his hand.
"You're moving so much, the fish are going to be scared away by you."
Song Yansheng put the fishing rod back on, and asked lazily, "The disaster relief team should have arrived in Lin'an Mansion, how can Your Highness still have the leisure time to go around and fish?" β
Duan Xun's lotus shower head still retains some green and tender, he peeled the lotus seeds slowly, and said casually: "At the moment, the third child is in the limelight, and it is the spring breeze that is proud, at this time, he naturally doesn't want to see me, so let me be lazy." β
"I went south for disaster relief and sent two princes, and the saint really played his cards according to common sense." Song Yansheng watched the float move slightly, his heart was overjoyed, and he was busy staring at the water.
Bai Shengsheng's lotus seeds fell into the dish one by one, and Duan Xun wiped his hand and pushed it next to her, while saying: "This time I went south, Pan Zongjiang was his biggest help." β
She was so engrossed in the fishing rod that she didn't even blink her eyes, but replied in a boo: "He's coming, the water is coming, I'm not afraid of him." Duan Xun smiled softly, seeing that she had seen the right time, she suddenly pulled the fishing rod, and the fishing line was heavy and tight. She gasped for breath and leaned forward a few steps. He was afraid that she would fall off the side of the boat, so he reached out to help, "Be careful. β
Yiyun also stretched out his head to see that it was a big perch that was thrown up, and now it was the time for the fish to get fat. Song Yansheng grabbed it with both hands, threw the big fish that was still struggling with the tail swing into the fish basket in Yiyun's hand, and leaned over to look at her trophy with bright eyes.
"Six girls are amazing!"
"Well, I'll catch a few more."
Duan Xun, who was ignored on the side: "......"
When it was time to eat, Song Yansheng reluctantly got off the boat. The fish basket was harvested a lot, and it was taken down by Jingyun to make people disembowel. She looked at the fish and meat that she was carrying from the grass in her hands, and thought about the next sea bass feast, and she couldn't wait.
"Wait. Let's cook it on the shore, and I'll try it. β
Duan Xun Feng raised his eyes, and became a little curious, "You still do this?" β
"I learned from one of my sisters-in-law when I was in Jinling. It's not hard to learn, it's fun. β
Hengbo's eyelids jumped at this time, looking at his own girl who was eager to try, he wanted to speak and stopped, his expression was extremely entangled, but no one noticed.
Duan Xun's eyes lit up, he became interested, and his smile was extremely amazing and moving, he bent his lips and beckoned Jingyun, "You have prepared the things that the six girls wanted." Today I am really fortunate to be able to eat the fish soup made by the six girls. β
Hengbo buried his head and stepped forward, took off the gold bracelets on Song Yansheng's two wrists, and the cloud sleeves were tied up with ribbons, looking good.
The saint has training, the gentleman is far away from cooking, and the girls of the Jingmen family are even more avoidant of this. In the previous life, Song Yansheng was locked up in a deep house and lived aggrieved, poetry, books, rituals and music, and everyone's ladies, these were all made for others to see, and she missed a lot of wonderful things, but she didn't want to be bound by those rules and regulations again. There are more interesting things, it just depends on whether you want to do it or not, and whether you dare to do it.
Duan Xun watched her carefully salt the fish and stuff spices, looked very seriously, and sighed in her heart to think that this trip to Yangzhou was not in vain.
Song Yansheng was busy for a while, wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, and shaking the big pu fan to fan the fire seriously. Yiyun eats people with a short mouth, and at this time he stepped forward to help with a lot of eyes.
"Girl......" Hengbo wanted to speak and stopped, but saw that the sixth master personally twisted the handkerchief and handed it to the girl to wipe her hands, and the words had to be swallowed again.
Cooking slowly on low heat, the soup was bubbling and bubbles, Song Yansheng was hungry early in waiting, Duan Xun had a heart, handed her the lotus seeds he had peeled just now, and said with a smile, "The sixth girl is hard, eat something to cushion her stomach first." β
She was also polite, picking lotus seeds and eating them, and suddenly remembered Chu Min's important matter, so she looked at him and said, "I have something to ask His Royal Highness Sixth for help." β
"Huh?" The more Duan Xun looks at it now, the more happy she is with her soft and glutinous face, since everything she says is good, she makes a gesture of listening.
"Under the command of the Third Highness, there is a Nanke ...... named Chu Huan"
Song Yansheng saw that his smile was slightly reduced, his heart turned, he didn't eat the lotus seeds, and asked hesitantly, "You already know?" If it was based on Duanxun's news network, it would not be surprising that he knew.
"Where did you know about this?"
Duan Xun raised his eyebrows, straightened up slightly, and his black hair fell like a waterfall. His fingers tapped lightly on his lap, and the phoenix's eyes looked dark and deep, and then she noticed a change in himβhis face was deeper, a little more boyish, and more unpredictable when he didn't smile.
"The recipe for repairing the embankment is Chu Huan's. If it was only the third son of the emperor, I would never believe that he could come up with it. It's just that I don't know what he can rely on to recruit so many talented people. She couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of Duan Hong's mercenary and unscrupulous means, "I also just learned by chance that this Chu Huan has a younger sister who has been looking for him all the way and has come to me, but I am afraid that my eldest brother will be close to the ink and black, and one road will go to the dark." I don't know that such a great opportunity to make a contribution, even if I find someone, I may not be able to persuade him to take it back. β
"This person has been in Beijing for a while, and he has had several contacts with Xiao Changying during this period." Duan Xun pondered for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, "It really sent them a gust of east wind." β
