Lotus Picking (2)
"Don't get so excited, watch your step, put your shoes on, don't feel the wind chill again." He smiled warmly, and his words were equally gentle.
Li Pian'er was in a happy mood now, obediently obeyed Feng Yaojue, sat down on the wooden stack, put on socks, and then put on shoes.
When the two little guys carried two large bouquets of lotus canopy mixed with lotus flowers and struggled to come ashore, they were already exhausted and panting, and they were sweating profusely in the sun. "Erguanren, Mrs. Li wants all here." The two of them with lotus canopies in their arms were out of breath when they spoke, and their feet standing on the shore were covered in gray and black silt from the knee down, flowing slowly under the effect of gravity, spreading all over the ground.
Feng Yaojue nodded slightly, and the corners of her lips opened slightly: "Well, it's hard work." ”
Li Pian'er pointed to the clean wooden board in front of her, and ordered the two little guys: "You put it here, I have thought of a way to make money." Anyway, you have nothing to do, take a break, you go down and get me more, it's better to pick all the ripe ones. ”
"Huh? Mrs. Li, I'm worried that you won't be able to eat if you pick too much. When the two of them heard this, their hearts were called a collapse. looked at Li Pian'er with a bitter face, and then looked at Feng Yaojue, but got Feng Yaojue's silent reply. You must know that many lotus pods in this lotus pond have not been picked like this in the past, most of them are naturally old, and finally fall into the pond silt. However, there will also be some gluttonous slaves and maids, who occasionally pick a few on the shore to try them, but they have never been so laborious as they are today.
"You don't care about this, just pick the lotus pods." Li Pian'er bent down and picked up one of the plump and swollen green canopies and played with it in her hand, her tone casual.
On the shore shrouded in the shade of the house, two of the figures with different temperaments were soon hidden in the green pond, leaving only the two people on the wooden stack. The cool breeze caresses by, the shade is cool and refreshing, and the corners of the two people's clothes are fluttering, and the green silk and ink hair are dancing, just like the artistic conception that can only be rendered under the brush.
Feng Yaojue put his hands behind his back, paced leisurely, and raised his eyes to observe the trembling green leaves in the depths of the lotus pond. Among the green leaves, the two little ones who picked lotus canopies were busy green, and their figures had been submerged in most of the green sea, and the wind could only see a head and an outstretched arm from afar.
Beside him, Li Pian'er, who was sitting cross-legged at random, was comfortably peeling the lotus seeds wrapped in green clothes, and the green clothes faded one by one, showing in front of her were white and tender sweet and delicious, which made her eat with great pleasure, and she had already left the matter of asking for silver behind, forgetting the real purpose of coming here to find Feng Yaojue.
Li Pian'er chewed the food in her mouth, inexplicably raised her eyes and glanced at the thin and elegant figure in front of her, the corners of her mouth hooked awkwardly, and she raised her wrist to send out the three lotus seeds in her hand that had taken off their green clothes: "Xianggong, give it to you." Don't look at it, I stare at this lotus flower every day, and I haven't seen it grow gold or diamonds, are you tired? ”
Feng Yaojue lowered his head sideways when he heard the sound, and a gust of wind swept the fragrance of lotus leaves, startling a pair of black hair flying, the corners of his lips were faint, he smiled warmly, and his hand movements were slow and casual. Three round lotus seeds rolled out of Li Pian'er's hand and fell into another gentle palm.
Li Pian'er saw that a lotus seed had entered Feng Yaojue's mouth, and blinked with a pair of smart apricot eyes, like the flow of water waves in a pottery jar, clear and moving, looking at him with full expectation and curiosity, making a cute expression that was desperate to seek answers, and asked: "Xianggong, is it delicious?" It's something I've worked so hard to peel off. ”
