Chapter 35: Overboard
Qin Qing decided to act separately from Steward Yu, and Steward Yu asked Master Gao for help, and he went to persuade Gao Yuanli, but Gao Yuanli did not have a deep friendship with her, so he might not be willing to help her with this. But Gao Yanli seems to love his junior brother Jing Ke very much, it is better to start from Jing Ke, maybe it will have an effect, but he can't make a blatant threat, otherwise it will be the opposite.
Gao Yuanli is not an ordinary layman, if it is an ordinary dinner, he may not come to the appointment. Qin Qing first asked Xiu'er to inquire about the pleasant beauty of Jicheng, and sure enough, she did not lose what she wanted, not far from the city, there was a lake called South Lake, with beautiful scenery.
Qin Qing hurriedly wrote a letter inviting them to swim in the lake together, and asked Steward Yu to bring it over. The letter did not directly ask him for help, but only mentioned that he got lost in Gaofu last time, and when he helped, he was grateful, and asked him and Jing Ke to go boating together on the lake two days later to express their gratitude.
After Steward Yu came back, he said that Gao Yuanli just said that he knew, and left an invitation letter, without saying that he would come or not. Qin Qing couldn't figure out the meaning of Gao Yuanli in his heart, and comforted himself Although he didn't say that he would come, he didn't say that he couldn't come, and happily went to prepare for the lake.
On the day of the appointment to visit the lake, Qin Qingwei seemed very sincere, and Xiu'er went out early with the prepared snacks and tea, and told Xiu'er before going out that she had a request at this time, so that she could try not to conflict when she saw Jing Ke. Although Xiu'er was a little reluctant, seeing Qin Qing's serious expression, she nodded reluctantly, and agreed to it.
Nanhu Lake is named because of its location in the south of the south gate of Jicheng. The south side of the South Lake is backed by mountains, and the green willows hang down on three sides. From afar, you can see the blue waves and the mountains are majestic; The lotus flowers reflect the sun nearby, and the scenery is pleasant. At this time, it is June, the sun is shining, the spring breeze is warm, and it is a good day to visit the lake. It's just that now it's a troubled time, ordinary people are tired of making a living, and high-ranking businessmen and officials are busy calculating, and few people will have the leisure to come to the lake.
Qin Qing and Xiu'er came to the lake, the boatman who had agreed in advance had already rowed the boat, Gao Yanli and Jing Ke had not yet arrived, so the two of them got on the boat first and waited for them.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and Qin Qing thought that it might be Gao gradually leaving, so he got off the boat to pick up people. I saw a carriage coming slowly, stopped in front of Qin Qing, the door opened, and Gao gradually walked down from the carriage with the piano in his hand. Qin Qing felt a little jealous in his heart, God was really unfair, this Gao gradually departed from his gestures and gestures were very elegant, and even the next carriage was full of extravagance.
Immediately afterwards, Jing Ke jumped down from the carriage and saw that Qin Qing seemed to see a ghost, lest she ask for a "mental loss fee", so he hurriedly hid behind Gao Yanli. Qin Qing looked at Jing Ke like this, and felt a little guilty in her heart, a good child actually made her look like this, what kind of sin did she do.
"It's too late to leave, forgive me, young lady!" Gao Yanli is not only handsome, but even saying a polite word makes people feel extremely comfortable.
"Young Master Gao is polite, it's Qin Qing who came early. Now that you've arrived, let's get on board first. Qin Qing said politely, and asked Gao to leave the boat. Gao Yanli nodded, and told the horseman who was driving the car to go back to the house first, and followed Qin Qing with Jing Ke and got on the boat.
After the four of them got on the boat, they sat on both sides around a small case, the boatman rowed the boat into the lake, Qin Qing opened the snacks and tea he brought, and invited Gao Yanli and Jing Ke to taste: "Qin Qing prepared some pastries and tea, and invited Young Master Gao and Jing Shaoxia to taste it." ”
Qin Qing stopped talking, pretending to be admiring the surrounding scenery, but in fact, he was thinking in his heart, how to ask him to help, so as not to be too abrupt; And Gao Yuanli had little contact with the woman, and seeing that Qin Qing didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, and the two were speechless for a while. Xiu'er had Qin Qing's advice before going out, and in order not to conflict with Jing Ke, she had to not speak; And Jing Ke didn't dare to speak, and kept his mouth shut, lest Qin Qing think of what "mental damages" he would pay for. The four of them sat on the boat and had nothing to say, only big eyes and small eyes.
Gao gradually left the atmosphere a little dull, stroked the piano in his hand, took out the bamboo piece from his arms, and the sound of the piano gradually rose. It is not the kind of mountains and rivers that Qin Qing heard when they first met, nor is it the lonely silence that Qin Qing heard in Gaofu last time, Gao Yuanli seems to be a painter describing the surrounding scenery with a pen, and he is describing the surrounding scenery to the audience with the sound of the piano.
Qin Qing gently closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the piano, and felt that the surrounding scenery seemed to be all imprinted in his mind, the sun was warm, the breeze was light, and the boat was rippling on the lake. There is no sadness and sorrow, there is no fatigue running, there is just a peaceful and ordinary life, everything is so beautiful.
I don't know when the sound of the piano stopped, and the three came back to their senses from the sound of the piano gradually moving away.
"What kind of piano is in Young Master Gao's hand? How did it sound so good? Xiu'er saw that Gao was gradually leaving the piano and couldn't help asking.
"Stinky girl, what do you know, this is called 'building'!" Before Gao Yanli could answer, Jing Ke rushed to open his mouth and ridicule Xiu'er: "What knocking, it's so cheesy!" My brother is building! ”
Xiu'er was robbed by Jing Ke, so angry that she forgot Qin Qing's previous advice, and immediately fought back: "Aren't you the junior brother of Young Master Gao, so you know what this is, what is there to be angry about!" ”
Jing Ke seemed to have forgotten his previous fear of Qin Qing, and when he saw that Xiu'er was so angry that he jumped to his feet, picked up a piece of dim mser, took a bite of it with a little arrogance, and said triumphantly to Xiu'er: "It's a pity that I know, you don't know, isn't this enough for me to be angry?" ”
"This is what Qing'er and I made, you are not allowed to eat it!" Xiu'er pointed at Jing Ke and said angrily.
Jing Ke deliberately put all the half-bitten dim sum in his mouth in front of Xiu'er, and ate it as if he was relishing, with that expression as if to say: I just ate it, what can you do!
Xiu'er was very angry and reached out to take the box containing the snacks, and Jing Ke saw that she was going to put the snacks away, so she reached out and grabbed the box. Jing Ke saw Xiu'er, looking like she couldn't catch up on the snack box and swore not to give up, she held the box high to prevent her from grabbing it, and the two of them started to fight on the boat, and the boat, which was only enough for four people, began to sway in the fight between the two.
Qin Qing had a headache, Gao gradually left such a calm, indisputable sound of the piano, why didn't these two people feel the slightest feeling, but like a cockfight. Xiu'er, this girl is really zha medicine, let Jing Ke's fire explode at a moment, and forget what she said before going out. The two of them made a fuss like this, how did they talk to Gao Yanli and ask him to help?
Now it's better to pull the two apart first, Qin Qing stepped forward to pull the two of them apart, Gao Yuanli saw that Jing Ke was a little disagreeable, and also came over to help, but unexpectedly, Jing Ke and Xiu'er were red-eyed, and the two pushed Qin Qing and Gao Wanli away.
Gao was pushed directly into the lake by Jing Ke, and when Qin Qing was pushed back, he felt as if he had tripped over the corner of the case, and the hull of the boat shook too much, and he didn't stand firm for a while, and his body began to lose control, fell backwards, and then fell into the water.
