Chapter 221: A Taste (1st Update)
Yang Jiyan naturally wished to be able to walk with Yu Qiyu, but it was not easy to show it.
Yesterday, when his father returned home, his mother had already told him that his father's impression of Yu Jiawulang seemed to be quite good, and he didn't refuse like his mother, but he didn't respond directly, and it seemed that he had to consider Yu Qiyu's character again.
"I'll ask my little brother when they'll be over." Yu Lingling was naturally happy to go with Yu Qiyu and them.
Mrs. Mu San didn't stay long, told Yu Jiao and Yu Lingling to have fun, and left Yinfeng Courtyard.
Yu Lingling went to Yinfeng Courtyard, she didn't invite Yang Jiyan to go over, after all, there are men and women who are guarded.
Yang Jiyan can only stay with Yu Jiao in Luofu Courtyard, she is actually not in a hurry, she went to Bibo Lake today, and she can always find an opportunity to get close to Yu Qiyu.
Yu Jiao had a grudge against Yang Jiyan, and after Yu Poria left, she ignored Yang Jiyan, got up and went to the inner room, changed into a light skirt, and took out the needle bag from the medical box and took it with her.
Not long after, Yu Lingling came back from Yinfeng Courtyard, and she said, "The second brother said that they are all men, and it is not good to go with us, so he told us to go first." ”
Yu Jiao's head was bowed.
Although Yang Jiyan was a little disappointed, she still smiled and said, "It's also convenient, I also invited a sister, she lives in Sun's Mansion, let's go first, and go to Sun's Mansion to pick her up." ”
I heard that Yang Jiyan also invited others, Yu Lingling and Yu Jiao didn't ask much, Yang Jiyan was from such a background, and the sisters invited must also be girls from big families.
The three of them took Yang Jiyan's carriage to Sun's house, and after the concierge went in, after a while, a maid came out to pass the word, "Miss Yang, my young lady has an urgent matter temporarily, and she can't leave, so she really didn't mean to break the appointment, Miss said that she would go to the house to compensate you another day." ”
When Yang Jiyan heard this, she guessed that the Sun family had made some trouble, and said with concern, "Sister Shen is okay, right?" ”
The maid shook her head with a bad face, and it didn't seem to be good to talk to Yang Jiyan.
Yang Jiyan said again, "You talk to Sister Shen, if something happens and you need help, just send someone to inform me." ”
The maid came from the capital, and knew that Yang Jiyan was friendly with her own young lady, so she said gratefully, "Miss slave and maid, thank you, I will convey your words to my young lady." ”
Yang Jiyan smiled, "Sister Shen and I are like sisters, so there is no need to be so polite." She lowered the curtains.
The carriage left in front of the Sun Mansion and headed for the south of the city.
Yang Jiyan and Yu Lingling said, "This sister Shen is from the capital, her mother and my mother are handkerchiefs, I invited you to my yard that day, I wanted to introduce you to each other." ”
Yu Lingling nodded, and said with some curiosity, "Is she married to the Sun Mansion?" ”
Yang Jiyan shook her head, "Sister Shen is only five months older than me, she hasn't decided to marry yet, and it is her aunt's cousin who married into the Sun Mansion. ”
Yu Fuling didn't ask any more, they would soon return to Changkui, and the people and things here in Qingzhou Mansion would become extremely distant, and there would be no intersection in the future.
After half an hour, the scenery outside the car window gradually became quiet and elegant, with lush vegetation on both sides of the road, and yellow and white wildflowers blooming in the grass.
Not far away is the sparkling lake, by which several beautifully decorated boats are docked.
The carriage approached, gradually heard the sound of people, there are many vendors by the railing around the lake, all kinds of snacks and tea stalls, as well as fortune tellers selling gadgets, so lively.
Most of the visitors were young men and women, and Yu Jiao noticed that many women dressed in silk yarns were holding guqin pipa in their arms.
The carriage stopped, and the coachman said outside, "Miss, here we are." ”
Yang Jiyan stood up and beckoned Yu Jiao and Yu Lingling to get out of the carriage.
Seeing the markings on the carriage, a woman greeted her, and said with a respectful smile to Yang Jiyan, "Miss Yang, the painting boat has been prepared." ”
Yang Jiyan bowed slightly towards the woman and followed the woman towards the painting boat by the lake.
Yang Jiyan stepped into the boat first, Yu Lingling followed, turned around and stretched out her hand to Yu Jiao, Yu Jiao took her hand and got on the boat, the boat shook gently on the water, giving people a feeling of extreme instability under their feet.
Yu Jiao leaned on the railing and entered the boat, the painting boat prepared by the woman was extremely spacious, and it was very delicately arranged, with all kinds of utensils, like a small room.
There was a soft blanket on the floor, on which were placed cushions and low tables, on which tea and snacks rested. There is a long case in the rear, with all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the wooden shelf on the back side is also placed on the guqin, xun, seven-hole flute and dong flute.
There are many urns in the corners of the surrounding area, which are filled with red and pink water lilies and narcissus.
It's very poetic to look at.
The lotus flowers in the lake have long been gone, and the cyan lotus pod grows gratifyingly, growing tall on the boundless blue lotus leaves, and the fruits are full of fruit, attracting people to pick.
The tanned boatman gently rocked the oars in the bow of the boat, and the boat moved slowly.
Yu Lingling walked to the window and hung the bamboo curtain hanging by the window, the sunlight from the outside spilled in, the light in the painting boat was a little brighter, and the surrounding scenery was even more unobstructed.
Yang Jiyan picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Yu Jiao and Yu Poria, and said, "Sister Poria, Sister Yu Jiao wants to eat lotus pods?" ”
"You can pick the lotus pods on this lake at will?" Yu Lingling asked curiously.
Yang Jiyan smiled and shook her head, "It's not good, but you can pick it after paying the silver, five taels of silver in a basket." ”
Yu Poria smacked her tongue when she heard it, this lotus pod tastes just a rarity, where is it worth all this money, it is almost worth half a year's harvest in the countryside, it is really easy for Qingzhou Mansion to make money, rich people really don't take money as money.
The painting boat gradually sailed towards the center of the lake, and large clusters of lotus leaves brushed the hull of the boat, and the lotus canopies were within reach.
Yang Jiyan stood up, walked out of the painting boat, and when she came in again, she already had a small bamboo basket in her hand, and she smiled and said to the two, "Since you are here, why don't you pick some lotus pods and try them?" ”
Although Yu Lingling wanted to go, when she thought that this lotus pod was very expensive, she shook her head, "It's still not possible, it's good to take a look......
Yang Jiyan saw Yu Poria's thoughts, but instead of thinking that she was a child, she stepped forward and grabbed Yu Poria's hand, pulled her towards the bow of the boat, and said empathetically, "Sister Poria, rent a painting boat, and the silver for picking lotus canopies is also in it, if we don't pick it, it will be cheaper for others." ”
Hearing her say this, Yu Fuling turned her head and beckoned to Yu Jiao, "Since Miss Yang has already paid the silver, let's pick some of them." ”
Yu Jiao hesitated, stood up and walked towards the bow of the boat, although she didn't want to get too close to Yang Jiyan, but Yu Lingling followed, she always had to follow and stare at it, so as to save something from happening.
Standing at the bow of the boat, the field of vision is much broader, surrounded by the sparkling lake, under the sun, the sparkling light gold, the blue lake seems to extend to the horizon, the water and the sky meet.
