Chapter 50: Outing in the Countryside (1)

At the end of March and the beginning of April, it was Qinzhou's great good (spring chūn) light, the sky was clear, the wind was smooth, this (day rì) I picked a goose yellow thin skirt to wear on (body shēn), quite a small jasper (Jiaojiāo) pretty, before going out I specially instructed the maidservant, if Qi Ao asked me where I was, no matter what, I was not allowed to reveal the slightest tone, I did not forget that we were still in the Cold War period, this time he did not take the initiative to give in to me and beg me to forgive him, don't think I will pay attention to him again.

"Qi Gongzi is like a piece of wood, he shouldn't have noticed Miss's thoughts, Miss deliberately avoided him, but I don't know if Qi Gongzi understood Miss's meaning?" The maidservant grumbled as she combed my hair.

Thinking of Qi Ao's indescribable stinky face, I rolled my eyes and said hatefully to myself in the bronze mirror: "He is an elm head, stubborn, and the sky and thunder can't be chiseled." ”

"According to the slave maid, Miss still don't worry about Qi Gongzi, although you are childhood sweethearts, you have a good feeling (love qíng) since childhood, but Miss wants to have a good appearance, you want a family background, Qinzhou is full of young talents, why hang yourself on a tree?"

I thought she had some high opinions, and after listening to it for a long time, she dared to persuade Miss Ben to abandon the idea of sticking to Qi Ao, and take a long-term view, and immediately said unhappily: "Are you sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, with a pair of big eyes and a long head?" When did you see Miss Ben thinking about Mr. Qi? "Most of the servant girls I serve secretly have a crush on Qi Ao, I deliberately learned their tones, and dragged the tail of a sentence of Qi Gongzi's old man, the maid's cheeks were red, and she was silent with shame, so I threatened: "You remember it for me, before Qi Ao bows his head to Miss Ben, who dares to do anything to betray me, once I find out, I will never spare it!" ”

A few maids in the house covered their mouths and snickered, and the older ones responded: "Yes, the slaves and maids should remember the instructions of the young lady." ”

I stood up and prepared to go out to flash people, pretending to be vicious and saying, "If I don't knock and knock you, you will all forget who your little master is!" ”

Li Xuan waited in the dark not far from the main gate of the Qin Mansion as promised, I saw him at a glance, walked towards him with a smile, and his heart (情qíng) became bright and bright, he was so handsome and handsome, and wherever he stood was a scenery that people couldn't take their eyes off, it was really pleasing to the eye. I had already said that this trip would be arranged by him, but before I set off, I couldn't help but ask: "You really can't even tell me the slightest plan?" ”

I really have so much curiosity and anticipation for him.

He was confident and high-spirited, the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said lightly: "I will definitely not let Miss Qin return disappointed." ”

Looking at his calm and calm posture, I had to quip inch by inch: "If Miss Ben is slightly dissatisfied, how should you make amends?" ”

"Why don't you and I make a bet with the things of today?" He proposed.

"What are you betting on?"

"If you feel any unhappiness today, you win, and you can ask me to do one thing for you, anything I am capable of doing."

Sounding very tempting, I squinted my eyes slyly: "And what if I lose?" ”

"Your willingness to admit defeat means that you have a very comfortable day, why don't you take me to taste the food in the streets and alleys of Qinzhou, how about it?"

Fools can see that he deliberately let me, to put it bluntly, the initiative is completely in my hands, and I am even happier that Li Xuan is accompanying me in a gentle and caring way to do what I have always longed for, and I even narcissistically think that his affection for me is far greater than that of an ordinary friend who first met.

The relationship between him and me may not be as far away as I thought.

"Okay, that's a deal." I took his hand, reached out and struck his palm, and decided so happily.

Li Xuan and I led a horse, walking side by side on a street next door to the downtown area, the son is unparalleled in the world, the stranger is like jade, and occasionally passers-by pass by, all of them cast envious glances at us, and the eyes are obviously speculating about our relationship. I admire Li Xuan, and my heart is inevitably dark, could it be that in the eyes of others, he and I are a match made in heaven, with the same temperament (sex xìng) (情qíng) as well, and no one is more suitable for each other than me and him?

Thinking about it, I laughed at the air, until Li Xuan interrupted my fantasy: "Get on the horse." ”

He steadied my horse and saw that I had successfully turned over and mounted on the horse's back, before handing the reins to me, and his eyes were implicitly approving: "The place we are going to is not far away, out of the busy area, you should not ride too fast, the purpose of this trip is not to race horses, go to the open place, and then gallop happily for a while." ”

In fact, I have been learning to ride a horse for several years, and I am not skilled in riding but I am not unfamiliar, he is too worried, but seeing that he cares so much about me, I have to admit that it is very useful to me, and obediently agreed: "Okay, all listen to Master Li." ”

After we confessed our true (body shēn) to each other, we got along more naturally and comfortably than before, and occasionally he called me Miss and I called him Son-in-law to tease each other, which was more fun. At this moment, he calmly mounted his horse, his back straightened, and kicked the horse's belly lightly, while chatting with me about what he had seen and heard along the way when he traveled around the world, and at the same time asking me about the local customs and people of Qinzhou.

Soon he came to a meadow with a wide view, and he pointed to the foot of the mountain in front of him, and agreed with me: "Start from this place and reach the Qingshui Lake at the foot of the mountain, and whoever reaches the big tree by the lake first will win." ”

I deliberately pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I'll count one, two, three, and we'll start, one-two-"

I rode out of the horse, he was still stunned in place, didn't pay attention to the snickering on the corner of my mouth, of course I couldn't hear the third sound, because Miss Ben, what I am best at is playing tricks, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, no matter how powerful Li Xuan is, what can he do to me? Anyway, my riding skills in the past few years have not been practiced in vain, and I have to do my best to compare myself with Li Xuan.

The scene in front of me quickly receded behind me (身shēn), the sound of hunting in my ears was the breeze of hunting, the sound of horses' hooves was drowned in the grass flying in the wind, and then what he said was the pleasure of galloping between heaven and earth, as if all the troubles and unhappiness were diffused at this moment, and when the horse stopped, I laughed and waved my hand at Li Xuan, who was a few feet away, his riding skills were far above me, and he reached the finish line one step ahead of me.

I lost completely, but I was not happy at all, I like someone, and even losing to him is a light joy.

Under the tree by the clear water lake, he had dismounted, and stood waiting for me with a faint smile, I jumped off the horse with a big grin, and let the horse go to graze beside me.

"Miss Qin can always surprise me."

He was referring to the loophole, and I didn't blush, and said with a frank expression: "You should be glad that the playmate you invited is not a boring person." ”

He smiled: "Indeed, Miss Qin is much more interesting than I imagined. ”

He seemed to have something in his words, and I raised my eyebrows and said slyly: "I don't know what kind of surprise Master Li brought me?" ”

Sure enough, he led me to sit down on a strangely shaped stone by the lake, and handed me a bamboo pole, with a thin and long cotton thread tied at the end of the bamboo pole, and a small piece of bait tied to the other end of the line. ”

Fishing is a matter of grace, and the most important thing is patience, because the fish are very easy to escape, but unfortunately what I lack most is patience, so that I stay motionless for most of the day, which is more uncomfortable than killing me. Qingshui Lake is rarely visited, the lake water is crystal clear, roughly looking, there are indeed hundreds of fish of all sizes, I am only a half-hung at best, usually shouting in the lake of Qinfu fishing and playing, every time it is a hasty end, all because of impatient (sex xìng) sub.

I stuck out my tongue and said ugly words in front of me: "With my poor patience (sex xìng), I'm afraid that you will lose your interest." ”

The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he still didn't care: "Miss Qin, do you know the fun of fishing today?" ”

"Listen up."

"Having me with you is the greatest pleasure of this fishing."

Uh-I thought he was a decent gentleman, but I didn't expect him to have such a flamboyant tongue, does this mean that he deliberately seduced me? I had a little sweetness in my heart, and I honestly imitated him, waved the rod sharply, and hung down on the lake, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

When he sat down, he felt that the stone was only of a strange shape, and it took a while to sit on it before he really felt its wonder. Every once in a while, when the water hits the stone, the stone will make a strange and interesting sound, I secretly glanced at Li Xuan's angular side face, only to see him staring intently at the surface of the lake, although there is no superfluous expression (情qíng) on his face, I seem to be able to feel his confidence, that kind of indifferent and detached confidence.

Sure enough, his fishing rod was the first to move, he lifted the rod and pulled the line smoothly, quickly untied the fat fish hanging on the hook and threw it into the bamboo basket on the side, and then re-tied the bait, the whole process was as smooth as his tea-making skills, and I only had envy. There seemed to be a kind of magic in his bait, and in a few moments he saw the second and third fish enter the basket.

So I thought to myself, I shouldn't be so bad that I can't catch a single fish. I also sit quietly by the lake, why is my fishing rod not moving at all?

The time spent by his side seemed to pass very quickly, and after about two hours, his bamboo basket was almost full, and mine did not exceed five in total, so I was ashamed. We didn't talk to each other, he was focused and selfless, and I was worried that the sound of his speech would scare away the fish that were about to take the bait.

Finally he caught the last fish and decided to stop.

In order to save face, I pretended to sigh: "The fish in this lake are really unlucky to meet you, two hours later, so many of their companions have been tricked, and some people are taking advantage of good looks." "Zi Fei Yu Yan knows that the fish is not fascinated by his beauty?

He didn't puncture the reason I was looking for, but instead followed my words: "All things in the world only survive by the weak (flesh ròu) strong food, and to be confused by the enemy and lose (sexuality) life is to pay the price for stupidity." ”

"And I think you'll forget what you're saying now when you get a taste of how delicious these fish taste."

How can you eat these fish if there are no restaurants in the wilderness? Is he going to do it himself? I looked at him suspiciously, trying to sketch in my mind what it would be like for a man like him to roll up his sleeves and wash his hands and make soup, but he lived up to my imagination, and really went to find some dry wood to make a fire, and the fire was burning very brightly and crackling, he simply rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his arm, and took out a small dagger from the bag hanging on the horse's back, squatted on the edge of the lake and quickly cut open the belly of the fish, and after cleaning it, he skewered the fish (body shēn) on a branch and quietly roasted the fish.
