Chapter 543: Traveling in the Mountains and Waters
Gu Fanghua has been growing her appetite recently, and she has come all the way, but she didn't buy any special products on the way, and she has added more people.
Empress Dowager Zhong really spoiled her, as long as it was a dish that Gu Fanghua liked, she would buy a cook or a chef, and change her tricks every day to make delicious food for Mingzhu.
"Cousin Mei, what else is there to do around?"
Mei Ziran pondered for a moment and said: "From the east out of the city, take the waterway for about half an hour, there is a canyon called a line of sky, the scenery is good. If it's late, there will be a March Lake from the first line of sky. ”
"March Lake? Does it mean that spring is always in March? ”
Gu Fanghua was a little curious, and Mei Ziran hurriedly said: "No, it is at night when the moon is halfway up, and there can be three moons in the lake, so it is called March Lake." ”
"So magical? Then I'd like to see it! ”
Mei Ziran also wanted to accompany Princess Mingzhu's cousin, but when she came back from watching the moon, she must be late at night, and she must report to the Queen Mother first.
"Princess, when we finish lunch, we will return to the Queen Mother. As long as she agrees, I'll take you there. ”
"Okay."
After using the sweet and sour squirrel mandarin fish, and tasting Jiangning-style sweet potatoes and other delicacies, Gu Fanghua returned to Meifu with the packed food box.
Because the Queen Mother came back to save her relatives, the Mei family bought the neighbors early. After expanding the house, seize the time to paint and repair, just in time for this pick-up.
Therefore, the Fengyi Hall where the Queen Mother and Gu Fanghua live is not only spacious and magnificent, but also the most beautiful atrium in the entire Mei Mansion.
Gu Fanghua wore a garnet red entwined branch lotus pattern collared skirt, walked quickly through the moon gate, walked into the inner courtyard, and heard the sound of horse hanging from a distance.
"Grandmother, Mrs. Mei, eldest lady, second lady, who won the east today?"
Old Madam Mei said with a smile: "Princess Mingzhu, you don't need to ask, the golden beans all have long legs and ran into the queen mother's box." I'm going to order a few expensive dishes tonight, and I'll make the Queen Mother a little rich." ”
Empress Dowager Zhong smiled and replied: "That's not good, if you blackmail the mourning family, wouldn't the bundle of repairs handed over by the mourning family a few days ago be in vain?" ”
"Why is my grandmother stingy? I look at this box of golden beans, but they have won much more than the big lady before. I'm going to order a few good dishes tonight. ”
Gu Fanghua's delicate appearance of the gag made the Empress Dowager Zhong laugh non-stop.
"You girl, but you are becoming more and more presumptuous, and the lord of the mourning family dares to do it. Forget it, it's up to you, and the mourning family should spend money to buy a happy. ”
Taking advantage of the Empress Dowager Zhong's happiness, Gu Fanghua hurriedly said that she wanted to go to March Lake tonight.
Empress Dowager Zhong glanced at her, asked a few words in a low voice, and asked Mei Ziran to come in, and after asking carefully, she agreed.
"Ziran, good boy, the mourning family is not a pedantic person. Since Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, it is also time to appreciate it. However, you need to arrange for the safety of the journey. ”
Mei Ziran arched her hand and said: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, Ziran will definitely take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"Okay, the mourning family is lucky today, and you have to play one more round, you can play by yourself. In winter and spring, you are also together, remember to find more water-based mothers-in-law, Mingzhu will not swim in the water. ”
Dongchun received the decree and followed Gu Fanghua and them to retire.
Old Madam Mei looked at their backs, her eyes flickered, and she said tentatively: "Queen Mother, it seems that Princess Mingzhu likes Jiang Ning very much, why don't you stay?" ”
Empress Dowager Zhong did not respond positively, and said with a smile: "Mingzhu has been spoiled by the mourning family, and it has always been a big idea. As long as she likes it, the mourning family supports it. ”
Old Madam Mei heard the strings and knew Yayin, and said busily: "It is this reason, the Queen Mother really loves the princess very much. ”
Empress Dowager Zhong said again: "Mingzhu is a princess, not a prince, she has been raised since she was a child. The mourning family sees that she has been rich and prosperous all her life, so they just want to find someone who can talk, and they just have nothing to accompany her. ”
The eldest lady said a little eagerly: "Queen Mother, I think Ran'er and the princess are quite a good match." If the Queen Mother is willing to marry the princess, our Meifu will definitely offer Her Royal Highness the princess. ”
The second lady lowered her head and pouted secretly, she didn't have a son of the same age and outstanding, could it be that she really wanted to be cheaper than the eldest brother's family?
Empress Dowager Zhong casually threw out a red middle and said with a smile: "It depends on whether Mingzhu and Ziran have fate." Play cards, play cards! ”
A few people began to play horses and hang again, as if they were not talking about marriage just now.
Gu Fanghua took a small boat and passed through the sky from the first line.
The mountains on both sides are steep and steep, reaching into the sky, and the canyon between the two mountains is only a zhang away. It's not good to paddle, so I rely on the boat lady to make the oars and hold the mountain through.
Gu Fanghua sighed at the miraculous work of nature, and felt that it was a waste of time to be trapped in the boxy imperial city before.
No wonder Xiao Yao's mind and bearing are different from others, he does read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles.
Passing through the first line of sky, Gu Fanghua boarded and docked on the painting boat of March Lake. The painting boat is full of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, including tea sets, which shows Mei Ziran's careful arrangement.
"Princess, there is fishing tackle in the stern. Why don't you go fishing? In this March lake, there is a silver carp more than a foot long, which is particularly delicious when used to make fish head soup. ”
When Gu Fanghua heard this, she suddenly felt a little itchy.
Since learning to fish, Gu Fanghua has often caught about a pound of fish, and I heard that in March Lake, there are more than a foot long and about ten pounds of fish, which is naturally rare.
"Can I pull a fish that is more than a foot long? Will the fish pull me down? ”
Seeing Gu Fanghua's delicate and lovely appearance, Mei Ziran held back the throbbing in her heart and said with a smile: "With me, of course not, you can rest assured that you can fish." ”
However, Gu Fanghua was not very lucky today, and after waiting for more than an hour, he didn't catch a big fish more than a foot long.
On the contrary, Mei Ziran has already caught two tails, both of which are more than a foot long, and one of them has red scales, which is particularly beautiful in the sun.
"Cousin Mei, it may be that your bait is more fragrant, let's change it."
Gu Fanghua was greedy, and changed the fishing rod and bait, but unfortunately the fish in the March Lake just didn't take the bait. Just as Gu Fanghua was about to give up, the water floating on the surface of the water suddenly sank down.
"Take the bait! The fish has taken the bait! ”
Gu Fanghua was caught off guard and was almost carried into the water by the momentum of the fish, but fortunately, Forsythia pulled it. Seeing that the fishing rod was about to fall into the water, Xiao Lezi was quick to catch it.
When the rod lifted the fish out of the water, it turned out to be a yellow carp more than a foot long.
Probably because of the age in the lake, the yellow scales of the body were shiny, and they looked golden from a distance.
"Cousin of the Mei family, how to eat this fish? Is it delicious? ”
Mei Ziran arched her hand and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really very human, there are few golden carp in the lake in March, I am afraid that no one will be able to catch this fish for almost twenty years." ”
