Chapter 79 Swimming in the Lake
Helian Mingyu finally took the turn of Xiu Muri again, and he had made an appointment with Jianing to visit the painting boat in Willow Bay today.
"Childe, what are you doing with so many things? We're not going to live in a boat. Forsythia pouted.
"Why are you so verbose when you get a box?" Helian Mingyu smiled and gently patted the back of Forsythia's head.
"Where is a box, it's three." Forsythia pouted with a depressed expression.
He was carrying one on his shoulder, one under his armpit, and one in his hand, because his strength was not weak, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be tired and lie down.
The son is good, wearing a flowing moon-white leno robe, a tie around the waist, and a long-horned soap veil on his head, with one hand behind his back and a folding fan in the other, so he is not chic and comfortable.
"It's almost time to get to the docks, you can't cry and lose your face!" Helian Mingyu instructed.
Their carriage was left outside the willow grove, because the road was too narrow to get into, so Forsythia had to carry it to the dock.
Qingluan and Chaoyang County Lord Li Lan arrived together, and they had already arrived at the Qingshi Wharf one step ahead of Helian Mingyu.
The servants of the Helian Mansion had already rented two painting boats and were waiting on the shore.
When Helian Mingyu arrived, he was shocked by a group of people on the dock.
Not including guards, there are seven ladies in the flowers alone.
I'm afraid this boat can't carry so many people, right?
When the county lord of Chaoyang saw Helian Mingyu coming, he hurriedly beckoned: "Come on!" Come on! I'll be waiting for you. ”
Helian Mingyu walked a few steps quickly to Qingluan, "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time." ”
"It's that we're early, it's not that you're late." Qingluan held a gauze embroidered fan in her hand, combed a fallen horse bun, a white narrow sleeve top, and a begonia-colored gauze skirt at the bottom, which looked very pretty and cute.
Helian Mingyu's eyes were full of tenderness, "Jianing, I'll take you on the boat first." ”
The boat is not very large, it can only carry about a dozen people, except for the two captains, and the boat can also seat six or seven people.
The county lord of Chaoyang and Li Lan offered to separate from Qingluan, and they took Linyan and a few guards to another painting boat.
So, Qingluan, Yuzhu Ziyu and Helian Mingyu's master and servant sat in the remaining boat.
The water of the Liuyang River is clear and you can see the bottom, and there are some round and lovely lotus leaves growing in the shallow water on both sides of the riverbank.
The warm wind of the rising sun blows on people's faces, which is extraordinarily comfortable and warm.
On the river, two painting boats slowly follow the river
Helian Mingyu asked Forsythia to open the rattan box and take out boxes of delicate pastries from it to eat, which he asked the chef to freshly make, with a hint of warmth.
"Helian Gongzi really has a heart. We forgot to bring food on board. Yuzhu smiled and helped Forsythia put the pastry on the plate.
Forsythia took out a charcoal stove, a clever silver kettle, a jar of tea leaves, a set of porcelain white tea sets, a delicate chessboard, and two bowls of black and white chess pieces made of jade.
While taking things out, he scolded in his heart: Hmph, I'm afraid that Childe didn't want to bring all the books in the study, but it's a pity that the box can't fit it.
Qingluan blinked his eyes, watching Forsythia take out something, and couldn't help but look at his lean body.
"Jianing, I also brought a yaoqin, can you play it?" Helian Mingyu smiled and took out a three-foot-six-inch-long lyre from another long box.
"I don't know anything about musical instruments, but I like to listen to them." Qingluan held a fan on the bridge of his nose, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, and looked carefully at the rosewood guqin.
From the outside, it is indeed a good piano, with a smooth phoenix-shaped body, simple and elegant shape, and a huge turquoise inlaid on the forehead.
When Qingluan was a child, after being slapped by the female master several times in the process of learning the piano, he hated this thing and could no longer raise the slightest interest in learning.
After that, she only loved to practice martial arts with a sword, and she was very reluctant to pluck the strings with her fingers.
"Shall I play it to you?" Helian Mingyu stared at the girl sitting across the desk with a smile in his eyes.
"Okay." Listening to music is easier than playing, and she is also happy to appreciate Helian Mingyu's piano skills.
Helian adjusted the strings and began to play them intently.
I have to say that this young nobleman's piano skills are excellent, and he is on par with that Li Wen Shizi.
The painting boat enters the Qinshui River from the Liuyang River, and then goes down from the Qinshui River to the vast Peiyang Lake.
The melodious sound of the piano all the way attracted the people in the surrounding painting boats to watch frequently.
I saw a painting boat, the plain-clothed boy was playing the piano, the beauty in the red dress was holding a leno fan, leaning on the railing of the boat and twisting pastries to eat, and the maid was cooking tea and tea beside her, so it was a leisurely and wonderful scene.
Yue Wushu and Xiao Luo were playing against each other in the big painting boat under Fengxiang Building at this time, and when they heard the sound of the piano, they couldn't help but raise their eyes to look over.
This look made Xiao Luo frown.
"Jianing?"
He got up from the boat and walked to the side of the boat to look at the boat.
I saw Helian Mingyu smiling proudly with a spring breeze, playing the piano leisurely, while raising his eyes from time to time to talk with a young girl, that girl is not the county lord of Jianing.
Damn Helian!
Xiao Luo scolded secretly and ordered the boatman to lean over the painting boat.
Yue Wuxian also saw the situation over there, and couldn't help frowning slightly, picking up the teacup in his hand and drinking it slowly.
Today, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the lake is full of boats and boats where young men and women meet to swim in the lake, and the rich gentry have rented a big boat to drink and have fun on the deck.
"Huh? There's a lady over there who is very beautiful, I don't know which geisha it is? A fat rich merchant shouted.
The thin man on the side shook the folding fan and said: "Brother Hu, don't talk about it, which geisha can get the performance of the son of Helian Mansion?" I'm afraid it's not a royal woman. ”
The fat rich merchant's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "How do you know that man is the son of Helian Mansion and not the prince of Chu Pavilion?" ”
"Didn't Brother Hu see the emblem hanging on the painting boat?" The thin man stretched out his hand and pointed to his friend, "That emblem is hung on it, so that others are not allowed to go over and disturb it." ”
The fat rich merchant said regretfully: "It's a pity, otherwise, Lao Tzu would have paid 10,000 dollars to get that pair of beautiful people over to kiss Fangze." ”
The thin man laughed, picked up the wine cup and said, "The flower girl on the boat is not bad, Brother Hu is still going to settle." ”
Qingluan turned around and found a large painting boat slowly approaching, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to see Xiao Luo standing on it with his hands in his hands, staring at Helian Mingyu with heavy eyes.
"Jianing, how do you get on that boat?" Xiao Luo said: "Wouldn't it be dangerous if there were wind and waves in the lake. ”
This Peiyang Lake seems to be calm, because the lake area is quite large, and the lake water is also strange and changeable, and it is still calm and waveless, and it may be able to make waves steeply after an hour or two.
"Today's weather is good, there will be no wind and waves." Qingluan said: "You are also swimming in the lake here?" ”
She looked at the big painting boat and saw Yue Wushu holding a tea cup and looking at her expressionlessly.
This guy actually came to Peiyang Lake. If he fell into the lake and drowned accidentally, wouldn't the Weizhou Assassin Shi be able to blame Daqian on this ground?
Yue Wuxian didn't know what Jia Ning was thinking, and when he saw her looking at him fixedly, his heart trembled.
He put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Jianing, you might as well get on and off this ship with Lord Helian." ”
