In the depths of the lotus leaf, there is a spacious pavilion in the middle of the lake, which is connected to the water pavilion on the revetment, and there seem to be many people standing in the pavilion.

Because it was still a little far away, Yu Jiao couldn't really see it, so she withdrew her gaze.

I have to say that this Bibo Lake is really big.

Yang Jiyan had asked the boatman to stop at a place where the lotus was thick, and she and Yu Poria stood on the edge of the boat, reaching out to pick the lotus canopy that was closer to it.

Yu Jiao was a little worried and told Yu Ling, "Don't stand too far aside." ”

Yu Lingling responded with a smile, broke a lotus canopy, and turned around to hand it to Yu Jiao.

Yu Jiao bent the corners of her lips, took it, peeled off the lotus seeds full and round, removed the outer coat, the inside was white and tender, Yu Jiao put one in her mouth, it was crisp and sweet at the beginning, and the bitter taste of the lotus core slowly overflowed the tip of the tongue.

Yu Jiao didn't feel much bitterness, she swallowed slowly.

The lotus heart can clear away heat and nourish the body, solidify the essence and calm the liver fire, which is actually a good thing.

The lotus pods here are so easy to pick, it didn't take much effort, Yu Poria and Yang Jiyan filled the small bamboo baskets.

Yu Poria put down her sleeves, just lifted the bamboo basket, a painting boat came to one side, Yu Jiao raised her eyes and looked, and happened to see Yu Qiyu sitting by the window, and looked carefully, Yu Jinshu and several people were in the painting boat, and there were a few unfamiliar faces.

Yu Qizhen also saw her, seeing that she was holding a lotus pod in her hand, Yu Qizhen smiled, and the ink-colored peach blossom eyes seemed to reflect the sparkling lake, looking at her deeply.

"Hey, it's the fifth brother!" Yu Lingling also saw Yu Qiyu and beckoned to him.

Yang Jiyan also looked at the painting boat, his eyes touched Yu Qiyu's face, and his pretty face was slightly pink, and his eyes were shy and timid, with autumn waves in his eyes.

It's just that Yu Qiyu's gaze never touched her body at all, and this autumn wave was given away in vain.

Yu Lingling's voice of greeting attracted the attention of the people in Yu Qiling's painting boat, and many people looked at their painting boat.

The boat was full of young men, and Yu Lingling couldn't help but be a little restrained for a while, and didn't dare to speak again.

I only heard someone ask curiously, "Yu Wulang, do you know the girl on the boat?" ”

didn't hear Yu Qiyu's response, but Yu Jinshu poked his head out of the window, took the initiative to take over and said, "That's my sister's ......."

He saw that Yang Jiyan was outstanding, with rich clothes and dresses, like a young lady from a big family, and said, "The other girl should be my sister's friend, and I don't recognize her." ”

But I heard someone say, "That's the daughter of Governor Yang's family." ”

Yu Jinshu looked at the person who spoke, the name of the person who spoke was Shao Zhong, when he was on the shore, he heard that this person was also the son of a big family in Qingzhou, and there were two magistrates in the family.

Yu Jinshu turned his head and looked at Yang Jiyan who was standing at the bow of the boat, because she was picking the lotus canopy, her sleeves were still not put down, revealing her thin white wrists, and Saixue's skin was particularly eye-catching in the sun.

Yu Jinshu's throat moved slightly, and he couldn't help but regret it secretly, first Yu Poria went to the courtyard to find them to go to Bibo Lake together, but he only thought about Yu Poria and Yu Jiao, and refused without thinking about it.

If I had known that there was a daughter of the Yang Governor's family and came together, I might be able to talk.

The two painting boats staggered by, the water rippled, Yu Jiao's painting boat was parked, the boat inevitably swayed with the water waves, Yu Jiao's feet were a little unstable, her slender body shook with the boat, and she hurriedly grabbed the railing on the side.

Yu Qiyu frowned slightly, his heart tightened, and he said loudly, "It's windy at the bow of the boat, go and sit in the painting boat." ”

Today's weather is excellent, there is only a breeze blowing on the lake, where can it blow down, Yu Jiao heard the concern in his voice, pursed her lips and smiled, nodded obediently, walked two steps towards the painting boat, turned around, raised the lotus canopy in her hand and asked Yu Qiyu, "Fifth brother, do you want to taste lotus seeds?" ”

Men who swim in the lake rarely pick lotus pods, after all, this kind of thing is more suitable for tender and petty girls to do.

Although the two painting boats were close, it was still dangerous to throw lotus canopies from one boat to the other, and Yu Qiyu was about to shake his head.

Yang Jiyan said with a red face, "We picked a lot of lotus pods, and we shared them with the Yu family's elder brothers." ”

In the painting boat opposite, hearing Yang Jiyan's voice, Shao Zhong poked his head out and blocked most of Yu Qiyan's position, he showed a smile that he thought was suave, "It's my honor to taste the lotus pod that Miss Yang picked herself, right, Yu Wulang?" ”

Although he was asking Yu Qiyan, Shao Zhong's gaze was glued to Yang Jiyan's face.

There was a man's coaxing voice behind Shao Zhong, his words were not frivolous, he just begged for a lotus pod, Yang Jiyan was a little embarrassed, earlier Mrs. Shao wanted her to marry into the Shao family, but her mother refused.

Yu Jiao saw Yu Qizhen retreat and retreat, and was blocked behind people, she didn't hear Yu Qizhen speak, or maybe he said something, because the voices of people on their boat were too noisy, and they were overshadowed.

That Shao Zhong still looked at Yang Jiyan with a smile, and their painting boat also stopped on the water.

Yang Jiyan didn't want to pay much attention to Shao Zhong, and handed the small bamboo basket to the boatman, "Hand these lotus canopies to them." ”

The boatman took the bamboo basket, hung it on the long oar, and handed it to the other boat.

Shao Zhong took the bamboo basket with a smile and arched his hand to Yang Jiyan, "Thank you Miss Yang for your kindness." ”

Yang Jiyan smiled faintly, she couldn't see Yu Qiyu, she didn't want to stay in the bow of the boat for longer, and turned around and went back to the painting boat.

Shao Zhong's voice came again, "We held a poetry meeting in the Huxin Pavilion, and the three girls might as well go and see the excitement later." ”

Yang Jiyan stopped when she heard this, turned around and nodded at Shao Zhong.

Shao Zhong saw that she should get down, and with a smile on his face, he ordered the boatman to sail.

In the painting boat, Shao Zhong distributed the lotus canopy to everyone, and Yu Jinshu said with a smile, "Brother Shao seems to be very familiar with Miss Yang?" ”

Shao Zhong's smile was a little more arrogant, "My mother intends to marry the Yang family, if I can win the list this time, I will go to the Yang family to propose marriage." ”

This is really not appropriate, the family matter has not yet been decided, how can there be such a fanfare to promote the truth, if it is not successful, it will not be the reputation of a bad girl.

But Shao Zhong's identity was there, and everyone echoed and laughed, and some people even spoke out loudly and flatteringly, "Brother Shao and Miss Yang are talented and beautiful, the door is commensurate, and the talent is comparable, it should be a match made in heaven." ”

The smile on Shao Zhong's face deepened, and he saw Yu Qiyu sitting quietly in the corner, and he didn't say anything more, and threw a lotus pod to him, "Yu Wulang needs to eat more, and there is also your sister's intention here." ”

Yu Qizhen glanced at the lotus pod that was thrown in front of him by Shao Zhong, his face did not change at all, he reached out and picked up the lotus pod, calmly and naturally peeled off the lotus pod, and put one into his mouth.

Thinking of Yu Jiao holding the lotus canopy towards him, her eyes were slightly bent, and her eyebrows were smiling, the anxiety that had been choking in his heart since last night was miraculously soothed by the fragrance of lotus seeds.
