Chapter 183: Trying to Catch the Dead
Li Hanyao was surprised and asked: "In the past, Brother Cheng went to sea in winter, why did he set off in summer this time?" β
Jiang Rucheng said: "This time I don't go far, it's on the southwest coast." β
Li Hanyao said: "Then you have to be careful. β
Due to the monsoon, maritime merchants, especially those who transported silk and porcelain to the west, mostly set off in winter and returned in spring and summer.
Jiang Rucheng nodded nonchalantly.
Although he is young, he has a lot of sailing experience, not to mention that he has something to rely on this time. Seeing that Li Hanyao was worried about him, he couldn't hold back, leaned forward, propped his elbows on the coffee table, covered half of his face with a fan, and whispered to her: "Now we can use machines to propel navigation on our ship." β
Li Hanyao's apricot eyes suddenly widened.
Jiang Rucheng smiled happily - he could make Sister Yao shake, he had a sense of accomplishment. And again: "These two ships are on a long voyage for the first time. Mainly sails, supplemented by machine propulsion at critical times. Just wait for my good news. β
Li Hanyao nodded vigorously, "Hmm." β
It wasn't the first time she had heard of this machine, she had long known that the Jiang family was developing this thing, but she didn't expect it to succeed so quickly.
As soon as she was in a good mood, her mind was exceptionally clear.
When the sun was in the west, Guo Hanyu, Liu Shiyu, Ouyang Weiwei and other women came to ask her to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower, saying that Fang Yisheng had already booked a private room.
She excused herself and refused.
If she doesn't go, Jiang Rulan won't go either.
Guo Hanyu and other women were full of regrets.
Every year on this day, all the weavers gather in the Zuixian Building, providing an opportunity for young men and women to meet. Although men and women do not sit at the same table, they do not delay the contact between the two sides, and there are not many people who have achieved family affairs.
Li Hanyao didn't go, and some girls were secretly happy. She is the first talented girl in Jiangnan, if she is present, the light is too bright, I am afraid that more than half of the teenagers only care about her, and they will inevitably ignore other girls; It's better not to go.
At the end of the show, Li Hanyao and the others passed by the No. 3 corridor of Tianzi, and saw Fang Yisheng and other teenagers standing outside the corridor hall, smiling at them.
When he got closer, Fang Yisheng said to Li Hanyao: "Sister Li, my brother has booked a private room in the Drunken Immortal Building, please Sister Li must appreciate her face." β
Li Hanyao said apologetically: "Brother Fang, my little sister is probably going to lose company." If there is something at home, you have to rush back in time. I hope Brother Fang will forgive me. β
Fang Yisheng said disappointedly: "That's a pity. β
Li Hanyao smiled and nodded at Wang Yan and Zhang Jinyan: "Young Master Wang, Zhang Shizi." He greeted Liu Jiaping again, "Brother Liu." β
Wang Yan heard that she was obviously making excuses, and his heart was torn down, and he wanted to act as if nothing had happened and not to see her, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, so he couldn't help but look at her and speculate: "Why don't you go?" Are you angry with me? She's not a petty person. β
When Li Hanyao greeted him, he felt that he was thinking too much, Li Hanyao really had something at home, so he asked, "Why is it so urgent?" β
Li Hanyao said: "It's just some mundane affairs. β
In front of many people, Wang Yan was shocked to realize that he had talked too much - he was not familiar with Li Hanyao, so it was inevitable that people would be puzzled to ask her like this.
He hurriedly smiled and said, "I want to find a chance to talk to Miss Li for a game." Although even Miss Li's maid can't get down, she is definitely not Miss Li's opponent, but she just wants to ask Miss Li for advice. β
Guanqi hurriedly bowed and said: "The son praises falsely, and the servant doesn't dare to be a servant." The servant did not win the childe. If it is finished, the outcome is not yet known. β
Li Hanyao also said: "Childe is too humble. There will definitely be a chance to talk with Childe in the future. With that, he said goodbye with a smile and left.
When he turned around, he didn't look at anyone, and the long eyelashes fell down, covering the starry eyes and countless visiting eyes.
Wang Yan clearly saw her gaze sweeping over her. He also lowered his eyes, and said no more with a faint expression. When he walked out with everyone, he couldn't help but want to raise his eyes and search for the back of the navy blue embroidered rich peony dress in front of him, as if he had been robbed of his heart by her just now. He tried his best to suppress it, not allowing himself to be led away by her.
On the carriage back, Guanqi asked Li Hanyao in a low voice: "Why doesn't the girl go?" β
Li Hanyao leaned on the bamboo pillow, the pillow surface was cold and moist, so cold that her arm was very comfortable, and said: "Apply what you have learned, do you remember?" β
Guan Qi said: "Of course I remember. β
Li Hanyao said: "Right now, I want to capture and indulge." β
Watching the chess asked, "Capture whom?" Who? β
Li Hanyao looked at her and said, "Whoever you catch is whoever you catch." β
Watching chess: "......"
It's a net!
The next day, Li Hanyao thought that the workshop had just experienced a major event of share division, and many follow-up beginnings and tails had to be cleared, and Li Zhuohang did not go to Jinxiutang, and Li Zhuohang came forward.
In the evening, Li Hanyao set up a banquet in the painting boat for Jiang Rucheng's brothers and sisters, and on the third day of July, the Jiang family's mother and son brothers and sisters were going back.
There is no dust to accompany the guests, and he will leave Xiazhao in a few days and travel with Ning Zhiyuan to Linhuzhou Bishui Academy for a while.
At sunset, the painting boat floats into the lake.
The four of them were drinking and enjoying themselves, and the servants went back and forth: Miss Wu is here.
Li Hanyao paused and hurriedly said, "Please." β
Wu Peirong entered the cabin and smiled at Li Hanyao: "My sister didn't call me when she played." β
Li Hanyao said with a smile: "It's my sister's fault, I only care about practicing for my cousin and cousin, and I forgot that Sister Wu is the one who should be the most deserved." After that, he smiled at Jiang Rucheng, and said, "Sister Wu is here to see off Brother Cheng." β
Jiang Rucheng's face flushed slightly.
Li Hanyao's eyes flashed, and then she beckoned Wu Peirong to take a seat, and introduced Luo Wuchen to her, greeted each other, and then sat down again.
Wu Peirong asked, "What do you do?" β
Li Hanyao said: "It's just drinking and enjoying fun." I'm tired of playing, and I want to take a boat to pick lotus flowers. Sister Wu is here, let's take two small boats: sister and Brother Cheng in a boat, and I in a boat with Brother Wuchen and Sister Rulan. We can also take care of each other. Watching chess, you go and see if the ink bamboo boat is ready. β
Guan Qi said: "Yes." β
He turned around and went out of the cabin.
Wu Peirong was stunned, but Li Hanyao didn't ask her to make such an arrangement.
She didn't know what to do for a while, after all, Li Hanyao was going to pick the lotus pod before she came, and she had no reason to stop it. If she insists on taking a boat with Li Hanyao and Jiang Rulan, I am afraid that the boat will not be able to sit, and as Jiang Rucheng's fiancΓ©e, she has no reason to leave her fiancΓ©. So, she watched Li Hanyao and the three of them get on the boat, row towards the dense depths of the lotus leaves, and soon disappeared.
Jiang Rucheng said: "Let's go too." β
Wu Peirong was not embarrassed at this time, so she smiled and said, "Son, please first." β
So, the two also got on a small boat.
In the depths of the lotus leaves, Li Hanyao sat on the bow of the boat and smiled at Jiang Rulan: "You can be regarded as leaving them together." Brother Cheng should thank me. β
Jiang Rulan smiled: "Just you ghost." β
She asked the maid to come up with a large vase, and Luo Wuchen picked several lotus flowers with buds to be released and inserted them in the bottle, which was very beautiful.
Li Hanyao said to Luo Wuchen: "Brother Cheng, you can play a song." β
