"Now it's time for the lotus pods in the lotus pond to be finished, why don't we pick them today?" Wei Qin proposed.

When I first saw the lotus pond before, the lotus flower was just a flower bone, but now that a few days have passed, the weather is hotter, and I think the lotus pod should almost grow.

Shi Shu laughed at her: "You know how to eat." ”

"You all agreed before, how can you blame me for being greedy. If you want to blame, you should blame it together. ”

Shi Shu couldn't take her, laughed and didn't say anything.

Fortunately, Ning Zeqing had already asked Aunt Niu before, confirming that the lotus pond had no owner and anyone could pick it.

When everyone walked to the pond, the lotus flowers, which were originally only half a person high and had only a few branches, had been filled with lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the fields that were one person high, and they were crowded one after another.

"The pond is far away and the water is deep, let's find a boat." Shi Shu said.

There were two small boats parked by the pond, one for Ning Zeqing and Shi Shu, one for Qu Mingli and one for Wei Qin, and slowly rowed to the middle of the pond.

The lotus petals gradually withered away, and the lotus heart remained green, and it grew day by day, and it became a lotus pod. If the canopy is too big, the lotus seeds protrude too much, which is inevitably overripe, and the mouth is old. If the canopy is small and the lotus seeds are not yet ripe, they will be hollow and have no meat to eat. Only those that are just the right size, old and tender, are easy to eat, especially those that are freshly picked and eaten, which are more fresh and tender.

Four people sat in the boat, one rowed hard among the lotus stalks, and the other picked the lotus canopy, put it in the boat, and occasionally stopped to peel a few and taste it.

"Miss Wei, the lotus seeds of this lotus canopy are tender and sweet, you can taste them." Shi Shu threw a lotus canopy towards Qu Ming and left their boat.

Wei Qin caught it, peeled one, it was sweeter than what she had just tasted, and peeled another one and sent it to Qu Mingli's mouth, Qu Mingli also nodded again and again.

Wei Qin was unwilling, he wanted to find a lotus pod that was better than this, so he got up slightly on the boat, searched for a good lotus pod, picked a few and didn't have Shi Shu's delicious food, and finally picked one, and after tasting one, he felt good, so he got up and said hello to Shi Shu's boat, and raised his hand to throw it.

Boom.

The two boats collided, shaking Wei Qin, who stood up, and almost fell off the boat. Qu Mingli hurriedly held her up,

After steady, both of them were slightly angry and looked back.

"Girl, are you alright?" A clear male voice asked.

There were also two people sitting on the boat where Qu Ming collided with Wei Qin, a man and a woman, the man was handsome, the woman was gentle, and they were well dressed, and they seemed to be husband and wife.

"What's the matter with you, how do you row without looking at the dots, what if you knock someone off the boat?" Qu Mingli still had some lingering palpitations about this matter, and his tone was not very good.

The man explained solemnly: "This girl almost fell into the water, and it was indeed my negligence. But here you can see lotus flowers, and your vision will inevitably be blocked, and there will be people who don't pay attention for a while. And the collision of the two ships is not my fault alone, why just let me look at it, it's rare that you shouldn't pay attention to whether there is someone behind? If Fang is the one on our side who almost fell into the water, should I blame you for not watching? ”

"You ......" Wei Qin was so angry by his words that she couldn't speak, but when she thought about it, she and Qu Ming were really shaken up, if they were to blame, they also had their own responsibilities, and it was difficult to reply.

The woman on the boat patted the man on the shoulder and smiled, "Okay, it's true to apologize quickly." ”

Only then did the man smile and bend down towards the two of them: "I was rude, but I saw that the girl was a little angry in her words, so I joked with the two of them." ”

Seeing him apologize, Qu Mingli no longer pursued it, and only said: "That's it, after all, we were frightened by this matter, but you have sharp teeth, we can't talk about you, so we won't entangle with you." The next time something like this happens to you, and you encounter an unreasonable person again, I'm afraid you will still suffer. ”

The man smiled: "I think you are still a little brother, you are more sharp-toothed." However, it is true that we should apologize seriously, and I hope to forgive Fang Cai for the crime of disrespect. ”

Qu Mingli and Wei Qin shook their heads and signaled that everything was fine.

"Miss Wei, are you alright?" Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing saw the thrilling scene, rowed to the side of the two boats, and asked with concern.

Wei Qin shook his head and signaled that it was okay.

"It turns out that the girl's surname is Wei, which is disrespectful." The man said.

When Shi Shu saw the man and the woman, he recognized that they were the couple he saw when he was watching the sunrise on the top of the mountain.

"I think your Excellency is of extraordinary stature, and you must not be from the village. Or like us, they also come here to escape the summer in the mountains? The man asked.

Shi Shu replied to him: "Exactly, the troubles of the world should be found in a pure place to be born." When you are in Xiashu, you haven't asked your Excellency for advice? ”

"In Xia Shangqisi, this is my beloved wife Yan Caimiao. I wonder what the others should be called? ”

Ning Zeqing replied: "In Xia Qin Ze." ”

Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing's names are too big, and they use pseudonyms when they go out.

Although Wei Qin and Qu Mingli were still angry, they still reported their names.

"I don't know where the four live, I don't seem to have seen them before." Shankith asked.

"We all live in Aunt Bi'an's house, maybe there are few people who come out, so we haven't seen each other."

Shang Qisi and Yan Caimiao looked at each other and smiled when they heard this. Shi Shu and the others didn't know why.

"It's a coincidence. Although I have never seen it, I often hear Aunt Ma mention you distinguished guests. It is also fate that the group was able to meet today. ”

It turned out that the two of them were the distinguished guests of the family surnamed Ma in Aunt Niu's mouth.

Shi Shu smiled: "It turned out to be you." Yesterday, I heard Aunt Niu talk about the small boat you made, and I also felt that it was a fairy-like idea. It's just a pity that the two families are far apart, and there are some family feuds, so I can't see it. Now, it doesn't seem that difficult to get along with. ”

Everyone laughed, knowing what they meant.

For a while, the atmosphere that was still a little tense disappeared, and it didn't work harmoniously.

"Although the Zongye boat is exquisite, it still can't compare to the meaning of the Seven Blessings Brown. Yesterday, I heard Aunt Ma talk about that scene, and I was also amazed in my heart. I wonder which brother came up with the idea? ”

Ning Ze Qing Dynasty gave him his hand: "It's a humble opinion." ”

"Brother Qin really has a wonderful idea, and Shang is ashamed of himself. Playing outside, meeting is fate, and now we are fated to add fate, it is better to bow and go, and take more care. Shankith suggested.

Shi Shu smiled: "It's not just this fate, we have already met a few days ago, but Brother Shang doesn't know." ”

Shang Qi was puzzled, so Shi Shu informed everyone about the sunrise on the top of the mountain that day.

Shang Qisi pulled Shi Shu's sleeve: "In this way, there is no more suitable fate, and I will not let you go today." ”

The six people stopped the boat at the edge of the pond and got off the boat, Shi Shu, Ning Zeqing and Shang Qisi stood in front of this lotus pond, and were about to bow down, Shang Qisi turned back to Qu Mingli and shouted: "Brother Qu, why don't you come?" ”

Qu Mingli was incredulous: "Me? ”

Shang Qisi smiled: "Naturally, it's you, who else here can form a brother with us besides you." ”

Qu Mingli naturally didn't dare, his status was low, how could he be called a brother side by side with the prince and the general.

Shang Qisi still called him along: "I can still speak well, why are you scared now." If you don't come, we'll be waiting here. ”

Shi Shu also called him: "Brother Qu, you can come." If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to worship. ”

Shi Shu said to Shang Qisi again: "Speaking of which, Brother Qu has saved me a few times, and he really deserves to be called a brother." ”

"In this way, we can't be left behind." Shankith walked over and pulled him to his side.

Qu Mingli was helpless, so he joined them. The four of them are ranked according to age, Shang Qisi is the eldest, Shi Shu is the second, Ning Zeqing is the third, and Qu Ming is the elder.
