Chapter 31: Boating on the Lake
Entering the cabin, Du Xiaomeng was surprised again.
The inside of this ship was nothing but ordinary as it seemed. The dΓ©cor in the cabin is gorgeous and comfortable, not like a cabin at all, but like a boutique suite. There are all kinds of daily furniture such as tables, chairs, etc., and there is no shortage of extravagant furnishings and the like.
However, in this luxurious cabin, at a glance, the most eye-catching thing is the picture of butterflies and flowers hanging on the wall in the center, about one meter long and two meters wide. The flowers on the painting are lifelike, and the various butterflies dancing among the flowers are more like they have life to rush out of the painting. I don't know who this painting came from, but for people like Du Xiaomeng who don't know how to walk, it looks good.
She was a little distracted, Yu Tianzheng followed her gaze, smiled lightly, and asked, "Like this painting?" β
"Well, it's pretty good." Du Xiaomeng came back to her senses and nodded.
Yu Xiaorui climbed down from her father's arms, pulled Du Xiaomeng's side and shook it and said, "Sister Xiaomeng, let's go outside to see the lake!" β
It's not fun to stay in the cabin! Yu Xiaorui didn't care whether Du Xiaomeng agreed or not, and after shaking her hand, she couldn't help but pull her out.
was pulled out of the cabin by Yu Xiaorui, and Du Xiaomeng found that the boat had left the backyard of Zhang's mansion for more than 100 meters and was steadily heading towards the lake.
Sitting on the boat on the lake, Yu Xiaorui felt that everything looked very novel, she excitedly pulled Du Xiaomeng to run around on the boat, ran every corner of the upper and lower floors of the boat, and said very seriously that she was on an adventure to hunt for treasures. It wasn't until she was sweaty and tired that she ran back to the cabin to find her father, and asked Yu Tianzheng to hug her.
There was a row of spacious windows on each side of the cabin, both of which had been fully opened, and the light from outside let in to illuminate the cabin. Under the window, there is a long soft collapse, and in the middle of the soft collapse is a small cabinet that is a little higher, I don't know what it does.
Yu Tianzheng sat on one of the soft collapses, leaning diagonally against the small cabinet. Seeing his daughter dragging Du Xiaomeng running in, a doting smile appeared on his face, caught Yu Xiaorui who rushed over, picked her up and let her sit on his lap, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead and face.
was dragged by Yu Xiaorui on the boat for a few laps and drilled every corner, Du Xiaomeng was so tired that she almost fell down. It was not easy to be freed from the little girl's hands, and she didn't care about any manners or impropriety, so she sat down next to Yu Tianzheng.
The servant on the side hurriedly served her a cup of tea and put it on the small cabinet in the middle. I grabbed the teacup and tested the temperature, which was just right. She drank it all in one gulp, then put down her cup and leaned against the wall, panting and fanning the wind with her sleeve.
Yu Tianzheng handed over a clean handkerchief and said a little apologetically, "Miss Du, I'm really embarrassed." Originally, I invited you to come to the lake, but I asked you to run behind the little girl. β
Du Xiaomeng sat up straight, took the handkerchief, wiped the sweat on her face and said with a smile: "It's okay, I had a lot of fun with Xiaoxiaorui." β
Yu Xiaorui hurriedly probed out of her father's arms and echoed: "Yes, yes, father, I had a great time with Sister Xiaomeng!" β
Yu Tianzheng nodded Yu Xiaorui's nose, shook his head with a smile, and then turned his head and ordered Zhao Yun: "Let them in." β
Zhao Yun answered and walked out of the cabin, and soon brought back the hunchbacked old man and the blind girl. Only then did Du Xiaomeng know that the two of them were on the boat for an artistic performance, the hunchbacked old man played the Yang Qin well, and the blind girl not only played the pipa well, but also had a good singing voice.
It seems that visiting the lake in this era is nothing more than drinking some tea and wine, listening to small songs, watching the lake and mountains or something, a little more elegant, or a chant to do the opposite.
Tea is good tea, the old man and the blind girl play music very well, the blind girl's singing voice is also very beautiful, at the moment when her singing voice is like a heavenly sound, Du Xiaomeng is really amazing. However, she really didn't know how to appreciate the small tunes of this era, and after listening to them for a while, she gave up the idea of letting herself learn to appreciate and leaned against the window to see the scenery.
Before you know it, the boat has reached the center of the lake and stopped.
The water on the lake is very flat and quiet, the blue sky and white clouds wantonly shine their figures on the lake, and the calm lake surface is dyed with clean blue, pure white, and the water and sky are one color.
The boat stopped in the middle of the water, raised its eyes and looked at the distant shore, so far away, I could only faintly see the green silhouette of a row of willow trees, which was not very real. There were other pleasure boats in the distance, but they were far from the center of the lake, and when you listened closely, you could not hear anything but the sound of singing and music. Looking at the picturesque lakes and mountains, and feeling the tranquility of that moment, Du Xiaomeng only thought of four words in her heart: relaxed and happy.
"Father, that white tower over there is very interesting!" Yu Xiaorui's voice pulled Du Xiaomeng, who was intoxicated by the beauty of nature, back into the cabin.
Yu Tian Zheng looked in the direction pointed by his daughter and replied, "That is the White Concubine Tower." β
When he said this, he waved his hand to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun understood, walked over and said a few words to the hunchbacked old man and the blind girl, and they stopped, put away their musical instruments and withdrew.
"Do you want to listen to the story?" Yu Tianzheng touched his daughter's little head and asked with a smile like a loving father.
"Yes!" Yu Xiaorui nodded repeatedly. Listening to my father's stories is much more interesting than listening to the piano and singing!
Hearing that Yu Tianzheng was going to tell a story, Du Xiaomeng withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at the protagonist who was going to tell the story.
Yu Tianzheng glanced at Du Xiaomeng and Yu Xiaorui, and began to say: "A long time ago, there was an emperor who doted on a concubine named Bai Fei......"
Yu Tianzheng's voice is very good, when he tells the story, his expression is very focused, his eyes as beautiful as stars contain a smile, and he looks at the little person in his arms from time to time. At this time, he is not a general who intimidates the Quartet, he is not a god-like wise king, nor is he a high-ranking prince. At this time, he was just a good father who was dedicated to telling beautiful stories for his daughter.
The kind of fatherly aura exuded from him was very attractive, so that Du Xiaomeng, a person who had lacked fatherly love since he was a child, almost threw himself into his arms like Yu Xiaorui and called him "Dad" excitedly.
Nestled in his father's arms to listen to the story, listening to it, Yu Xiaorui fell asleep unconsciously.
Yu Tianzheng didn't let go of Yu Xiaorui, he just changed to a sitting position that could make his daughter sleep more comfortably. Yu Xiaorui moved, the ruddy little mouth opened, said something, and continued to sleep.
After making sure that his daughter was asleep, Yu Tianzheng asked Zhao Yun and the others to step back, then he looked up at Du Xiaomeng and asked, "Miss Du, can you tell me what happened now?" β
Du Xiaomeng was stunned. This stunned was not because of Yu Tianzheng's problem, but because he didn't use the word "this king" in front of her, and directly used a simple "I" word.
It seems that Yu Tianzheng will only say "me" when he gets along with Zhan Qi. She Du Xiaomeng actually has the same treatment as Zhan Qi? In this case, can she not think elsewhere?
Du Xiaomeng came back to her senses and said cautiously: "Go back to Your Highness, the people's girl ......"
"There's no one else here, you don't have to be tight in front of me." Before she could finish speaking, Yu Tianzheng interrupted her, "In the future, I hope you can call my name in private and treat me as your friend." β
Du Xiaomeng was stunned again. Friend? Yu Tianzheng offered to be her friend? She heard her right, right?
"Minnu, don't dare." Du Xiaomeng lowered her head and said this sentence with some hesitation.
Yu Tianzheng raised his eyebrows unhappily and asked, "Miss Du doesn't want to be my friend anymore?" β
"It's not!" Du Xiaomeng hurriedly denied that she had already offended Zhan Qi's great god, but she couldn't go to the bigger god who owed it! If you can make friends with Yu Tianzheng, it will still be beneficial and harmless.
When Du Xiaomeng raised her head, a good-looking smile appeared on her face. She looked at Yu Tianzheng and said, "Then, Tianzheng will be my friend in the future." β
Hearing his name being shouted out of her mouth, Yu Tianzheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Can you tell me what happened to this friend now?" β
Finding someone smarter than you to help you think about the problem is also a good way to solve the problem.
So, Du Xiaomeng didn't think much about it, so he told Yu Tianzheng about the suspicions in his heart. Yu Tianzheng's heart is much more detailed than ordinary people, and what she can't figure out, maybe he can figure it out at once.
