Chapter 36: Meeting in the Lake
Today is the half-year festival, there are many people who go out to catch the market and string relatives, people come and go on the road, cars come and go, quite lively
Because they were not in a hurry, it was inconvenient to gallop on a crowded road, Yan Liqiang and Qian Su were like walking, riding rhinosaurus horses while chatting and walking, and it took almost two hours to come to Lujiazhuang from the craftsman camp.
Today's Lujiazhuang is really more lively than more than a month ago, on the way to Lujiazhuang, early in the morning, there are several times more pedestrians than in the past, it seems that people from ten miles and eight towns nearby are rushing to Lujiazhuang.
Those who went to Lujiazhuang, one by one, helped the old and the young, or took an ox cart, or a horse-drawn carriage, or a team of five or six people, or a group of dozens of people, and happily walked towards Lujiazhuang one by one.
Some people are in a hurry, there are vacant seats in the car, and people can sit, and many people invite those who are walking on the road to get in the car and walk with them.
Some young men, some on horseback, some walking, were all in high spirits.
There were also some young women, also sitting in groups of three or five on the car decorated with flowers, all wearing bright colorful skirts, with all kinds of beautiful sideburns on their heads, dressing themselves up in a fancy way, and walking along the road with everyone.
The women chattered, the men laughed, the young men and the women looked at each other, sometimes funny, asking each other which township you live in, who I know, whether you know each other or not, and if you can talk, the men invite the women to go together, and the women agree, and a group of people go together, which is more lively, and those who can't talk about it go their own way, and they don't affect each other.
Such a scene, let Yan Liqiang see it, but also very interesting, shopping in the previous life is a very ordinary thing, but the atmosphere of shopping in the previous life, but there is not such a warm and festive in front of the eyes, even if it is the New Year's holiday, the shopping malls on the street try their best to make a festive and cheerful atmosphere, but people are still full of a sense of distance, a little indifferent, not as festive and warm as in front of them.
The smiles and cheerfulness on the faces of the strangers he saw along the way made Yan Liqiang also deeply infected.
Seeing Yan Liqiang riding on a tall rhinosaurus horse, young and handsome, with extraordinary appearance and temperament, this way, I don't know how many young women frequently paid attention.
"Uncle Qian, why is this Lujiazhuang so lively today?"
Yan Liqiang asked Qian Su again, and found that Qian Su was silent, he turned his head to look, but found that Qian Su's eyes were staring at a woman on the ox cart in front of him, the woman was in her thirties, wearing a red skirt, it was Hua Xin's age, the whole person was round and jade, with plump breasts and buttocks, and she looked quite beautiful.
The woman also found that Qian Su was looking at her, and the two of them were eyebrows and eyebrows.
Yan Liqiang slowed down his voice, "cough...... Ahem, Uncle Qian......"
"Ah, what, Liqiang, you call me ......" Qian Su reacted suddenly, turned his head and asked Yan Liqiang.
"Such a beautiful day, Uncle Qian might as well come forward and ask, if there are still people sitting on the ox cart, Uncle Qian will go down and squeeze with those women and women, and I will lead this rhino dragon horse to Lujiazhuang!" Yan Liqiang squinted his eyes and said narrowly.
Qian Su's face turned red and glared at Yan Liqiang, "You dare to tease your elders at a young age!"
Yan Liqiang laughed......
......
Came to a door outside Lujiazhuang, there was still some distance, Yan Liqiang saw that his old acquaintance Lu Wenbin was looking at the door to this side, he and Qian Su were riding on the rhinosaurus horse, which was very eye-catching, when they saw Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin also saw them, and when they approached on the rhinosaurus horse, Lu Wenbin walked towards the two people with a bright and enthusiastic smile.
Yan Liqiang and Qian Su also got off the rhino dragon horse and handed over the reins of the rhino dragon horse to the two Zhuang Ding of the Lu family who came with Lu Wenbin.
"Lu Wenbin has seen Qian Yingjian and Yan Gongzi!" Lu Wenbin saluted to the two of them, and when he saw that Yan Liqiang's temperament was immediately different after changing his clothes, even Lu Wenbin couldn't help but glance at Yan Liqiang twice.
Yan Liqiang winked at Lu Wenbin and smiled, "Steward Lu is polite!"
"Hahaha, Brother Payne is here, I made an appointment with Brother Payne to gamble on fishing today, I can't wait, now at this time, the sun has just come out, and it is a good time to fish......" Qian Su said while looking around.
"Sixth brother is waiting for Camp Supervisor Qian by the lake!"
"Okay, let's go, let's go......" After Qian Su finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Yan Liqiang, "Lianhua Lake has a beautiful scenery, it is a scene in Huanglong County, you haven't seen it yet, you can go and see it together, if you want to visit the market in Lujiazhuang, you can wait until the afternoon, the afternoon is the most lively time." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it will be lively in the afternoon when the few troupes invited by Lujiazhuang officially start singing, if Yan Gongzi wants to watch the play, you can wait until the afternoon to go, the master has already let Yan Gongzi leave a place in the stands...... "Steward Lu also said with a smile on the side.
"Okay, then let's go and see the scenery of Lianhua Lake that Uncle Qian said!" Yan Liqiang nodded.
"Come with me, ...... you two"
The three of them did not enter Lujiazhuang, Lu Wenbin directly took the two of them to the river outside the wall of Lujiazhuang Fort, and let the two of them get into a small boat.
The boat was very brisk in the river, and in just a moment's effort, the boat circled around the fortress wall of Lujiazhuang, and rowed into a beautiful lake with no edge in sight.
The water of the lake is crystal clear, you can see swimming fish, sitting on the boat, looking around, there are lotus leaves everywhere, many frogs are squatting on the lotus leaf mountain, staring at the people on the boat, and only jumping into the water when the boat is approaching.
At this moment, it is the height of summer, it is the time when the lotus flowers bloom, one by one or pink, or white, or red lotus flowers are slim among the lotus leaves, you can reach out to it, look at it, it is beautiful, the boat glides in it, just like gliding in a green forest, a breeze blows, the lotus leaves are swaying, the nose is full of the elegant fragrance of the lotus, it is really refreshing.
In a few moments, the boatman rowed the boat to a small island in the middle of the lake.
The island is surrounded by water, and there is a gazebo, an attic, and some trees planted on the island, which is a good place for fishing.
A stocky, stocky man in his thirties, with a face somewhat similar to Old Man Lu's, and two mustaches on his lips, stood on the edge of a stone staircase on the island, smiling as the boat approached.
"Hahaha, Brother Qian, you're finally here, today we'll see who is good, just stew fish soup at night and drink ......" The man and Qian Su raised their arms and laughed, and then looked at Yan Liqiang, looking at Yan Liqiang from head to toe, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger, "This is Yan Gongzi, he is really a talent!"
"Yan Liqiang has seen the sixth master!" Yan Liqiang saluted at the man.
This sixth master, called Lu Peien, is one of the sons of the old man Lu, ranked sixth in the family, the last time Yan Liqiang heard Lu Wenbin's introduction to the situation of Lujiazhuang, he heard of Lu Peien's name, many industries of the Lu family in Huanglong County, are taken care of by this Lu Peien, this person can be called exquisite, is one of the core characters of the Lu family.
Yan Liqiang didn't feel strange about the acquaintance of Qian Su and Lu Peien, because the drunken incense building that Qian Su often went to was one of the industries that the sixth master took care of, Yan Liqiang was strange, how could this sixth master be so busy, how could he have time to gamble and kill time with Qian Su here today, maybe the two of them had something to talk about, just like the bosses in their previous lives liked to talk about business when they were playing golf.
"Liqiang, Brother Payne and I are fishing here, you are a young man, if you are bored, it is better to take a boat to go around in this Lianhua Lake, and we will see you at lunch!"
Hearing Qian Su say this, Yan Li couldn't force it, and asked him to sit here and stare at the two fishing rods motionlessly, which was simply a crime.
After saying goodbye to Qian Su and Lu Peien, Yan Liqiang got into the boat again and asked the boatman to take him around the lake.
Seeing Yan Liqiang leaving, Qian Su and Lu Peien looked at each other and smiled......
......
The golden beauty in the lake is stunning, and Yan Liqiang completely lingers in the lake......
"Ah, Yan Gongzi, no, this boat is leaking......" Suddenly, the boatman with him shouted, Yan Liqiang looked down at himself, I don't know when, behind him, on the bottom of the bed under the boatman's feet, there was suddenly a hole the size of a wine glass, and the lake was bubbling out from below.
Why is there an extra hole in this boat?
"I can swim, it doesn't matter, you just row the boat back!" Yan Liqiang said calmly.
"There are two people on this boat, and the water is leaking too fast, I'm afraid I won't be able to row back......"
"What should I do then? You mean we all swim back?" Yan Liqiang looked at the boatman funny, if that really happened, he would be in the soup today, he didn't feel sorry for this clothes, he just thought it was a little funny, but he didn't expect to let himself meet it.
"That's not necessary, Yan Gongzi only needs to change the boat, and I can row back the boat first......"
"Where's the ship?"
"Ah......" The boatman who rowed the boatman exclaimed exaggeratedly, just like the exclamation of the chefs at the beginning of Stephen Chow's "God of Food", "Yan Gongzi, look, what a coincidence, there happened to be a boat over there......" The fisherman pointed to the distance, Yan Liqiang turned his head, and just saw a small boat sliding out of a lotus leaf.
On that small boat, there was a boatman, and a woman in a green dress, and when he looked over, the woman on the small boat over there also looked over, and looked at Yan Liqiang, her eyes were very strange......
The boatman on this side said hello, and the boat over there rowed over, and the two boats joined in a lotus leaf, and after the two boatmen stabilized the boat, Yan Liqiang changed to another boat and sat on the new boat.
The boatman who came here with Yan Liqiang rowed a "leaky" boat, and disappeared into a lotus leaf in the blink of an eye......
