Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Boat
After breakfast that day, Jiang Yu came to pick it up in person, the eldest brother Shen Mingfeng also went along, the second brother and his own brother still had homework and couldn't go out, Mu sent people to the door and then repeatedly told Shen Ai not to run around, not to get too close to the edge of the painting boat, and not to secretly play in the water.
Shen Ai responded angrily, and he enjoyed what family affection was in the Shen family for two lifetimes, Mu really felt sorry for her to be so nagging, she didn't feel impatient at all, and promised Mu that when she came back, she would go to the restaurant to pack two crispy chickens to eat with Mu.
Mu Shi put the people in the car and waited until the carriage was gone, and then returned to the house.
The lake they swam in today is called Xianyao Lake, and I heard Shen Mingfeng in the carriage that the scenery there is very beautiful, but it is a little difficult to talk about at night, Shen Ai asked him curiously but didn't say anything.
When the three of them came to the lake, they saw a luxurious large painting boat parked on the shore, comparable to a modern yacht, and there were already many people standing beside the boat.
There are three floors in the painting boat, the three of them just got off the car and saw the five princes on the top were holding a fan to greet them, the small maid on the side of the boat led the three people into the painting boat, there were already many people inside, the little maid directly led them to the third floor, the five princes were already sitting on the top and drinking tea, accompanied by the two sisters of the Zheng family and a few of their friends, as well as the few teenagers who seemed to have a good time with the five princes and Jiang Yu in the academy.
The three of them said hello and said a few words, and the fifth prince ordered someone to sail.
The sparkling lake blows through the June breeze, and the willows on the shore are already leafy and caressing the water surface with the wind.
The sons on the painting boat are all students in the academy, and the young lady was invited by the Zheng family sisters, but most of them are those that Shen Ai has seen, and the academy naturally knows Shen Ai.
The sons and ladies played the piano and sang songs, and for a while the joyful laughter and pleasant tunes floated all over Xianyao Lake.
Shen Ai sat on such a big painting boat for the first time, and naturally ran around excitedly, and Shen Mingfeng was told by Mu and Zhang to take care of her before going out, so he followed him closely.
Jiang Yu and the five princes felt bored after getting off the plate, so they went to look for Shen Ai, only to see this little girl running from one end of the painting boat to the other, followed by Shen Mingfeng with an anxious face, this girl also urged him to hurry up from time to time, and couldn't help but feel funny.
Although Jiang Yu doesn't like to talk to people on weekdays, but helplessly, people have good knowledge, good family background, and look so handsome, many young ladies are shy and want to come forward to talk to him, but thinking that he doesn't care about people on weekdays, he will go up at this time, and he will be rejected in front of everyone, and no one dares to step forward.
"The Third Son." The young lady stepped forward with red cheeks and unfolded the paper in her hand, and said, "Third Prince, this is the Yongliu poem I just made, can you please comment on one or two?" ”
Jiang Yu retracted his gaze, the smile on his face faded, and he said politely and detachedly: "I'm sorry, there is something to do below." ”
After speaking, he ignored the young lady and walked towards Shen Ai, who was lying on the edge of the boat with a chair.
The young lady's face turned red, her eyes were already full of tears, and the good sisters around her hurriedly comforted softly, if she cried out at this time, she was afraid that it would be unpleasant, and the five princes of Jiang Yu would definitely let them get off the boat immediately, they were all young ladies of the petty official family, and they could only come here to show up and want to have a good marriage, so it was in vain to be driven down before they bowed down in front of these proud women of the sky.
Shen Mingfeng was nervously protecting her with his arms open, this girl was too good at tossing up and down, and she couldn't be idle for half a moment.
Jiang Yu smiled and just approached, when he heard Shen Ai ask Shen Mingfeng: "Big brother, there are fish in the lake, let's eat fish for lunch today, chop pepper fish head, spicy fish, sauerkraut fish..."
Shen Mingfeng listened to him list so many chili-stained dishes in one column, and said helplessly: "Little Ai'er, have you forgotten what the second aunt said?" Spicy dishes cannot be eaten. ”
Shen Ai was unhappy, and pouted: "My mother is not here, besides, I won't be allowed to eat such a hot Tianbing bowl, the ice basin won't let me put it, and the spicy taste won't let me taste it." ”
"You also know that it's hot, who would eat spicy food on such a hot day, and it's undignified to eat sweaty." Shen Mingfeng said
"Eat fish, big brother, it's okay if you don't add spicy, so let's eat boiled fish? Sashimi? Shen Ai stood on the chair and shook Shen Mingfeng's hand coquettishly
"What is sashimi?"
Shen Mingfeng lowered his voice and whispered to her: "Besides, the lunch on the painting boat today is all set by the five princes, and we can't mix it." ”
As soon as he heard Shen Ai, who was arranged by the five princes, he stopped fooling around, and looked at the big fish in the lake with a pout, with a strong appetite in his eyes.
"Ai'er wants to eat fish?" Jiang Yu walked behind him and asked
As soon as Shen Mingfeng wanted to deny it, he listened to Shen Ai's happy desire to eat, and the mouth that had just opened was immediately closed.
Jiang Yu smiled and said to Shen Mingfeng: "Brother Mingfeng, let's rest for a while, I'll watch her." ”
Shen Mingfeng glanced at Shen Ai, and saw that she was pulling her head and looking at him, and her eyes were rolling around immediately, and after a few polite words with Jiang Yu, he went to find his classmates.
After he left, Jiang Yu hugged Shen Ai and said, "Isn't this a clearer view?" ”
Shen Ai put his arms around his neck and nodded: "It's still Brother Jiang who understands me best." ”
"Wow, little pony." Jiang Yu pinched her nose with a smile and said, "There is fish to eat for lunch today, don't worry, the fish in Xianyao Lake is delicious and indispensable." ”
"Why doesn't Brother Jiang fight with them?" Shen Ai asked
"Not interested."
is also said that this person is outstanding in learning, and if he participates, I am afraid that those scholars will lose their faces.
Before the two could talk a few words, someone came over, it was the fifth daughter of Dali Siqing, Shen Ai had seen it in Jiang Yu's Zhuangzi, called Bi Yuan.
Dressed in a blue lake-colored wrap skirt, green silk pulled into a spiritual snake sideburns, wearing a pair of pearl heads, the posture is quite acceptable, and at this moment he is greeting the two of them with a smile on his face: "Third son, Miss Shen, you are here... Views? ”
Jiang Yu only nodded expressionlessly, because he had seen and said hello before, Shen Ai smiled and said in a soft voice: "Sister Bi is good." ”
Bi Yuan smiled and raised her hand to pinch her face, Jiang Yu looked at the hand and frowned slightly, turned sideways and said, "Miss Bi's nails are too sharp, and Ai'er's cheeks are delicate." ”
Bi Yuan awkwardly withdrew her hand and smiled: "It's mine, Miss Shen is too cute, I can't help but want to pinch it." ”
Shen Ai glanced at his overlapping hands, and couldn't help but feel that the nails were too long and trimmed too sharp, if they were accidentally scratched on the face, they were afraid that they would be disfigured, and this was deliberately left like this.
