Chapter 151: Scooping Water
Because it was the first time they met outside after the marriage agreement, this time was different from before, although Zhuo Zhaojie was favored by his parents and brothers, he went back and said, but where is there such a dignified and upright now?
Even if they were disturbed by Gao Yin and Wen Tanrong one after another, both of them were in a very good mood, and they had a meal in the red 'medicine' room, and Ning Shaobi proposed to accompany Zhuo Zhaojie to the Qujiang River for a walk, and the right to consume food.
The two went downstairs and were about to go out of the 'door', but they didn't want a 'girl' in Tsing Yi to greet them with a little trepidation, and said, "Zhuo Niangzi." β
Zhuo Zhaojie looked at her strangely and said, "What's the matter?" β
"The maid is Wen Liuniang's handmaiden', our family's fifth lady has a two-day birthday, and Liuniang wants to invite the lady to come to the house for a gathering." The Tsing Yi envoy 'woman' said respectfully, and presented the invitation with both hands.
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know Wen Wuniang, but looking at Wen Tanrong's face - especially Wen Tanrong was hurt a lot by Ning Shaobi just now, he naturally wouldn't refuse at this moment, and nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely go to the Prime Minister's Mansion on time." β
The Tsing Yi envoy 'girl' hurriedly reminded her: "Lady, our family is inconvenient because the 'flower' garden is being rebuilt, so the birthday of the fifth lady is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but here in Qujiang, I have already agreed with the Huixue Building opposite, and they will be covered by a whole building." β
"Go back to the Snow Tower?" Ning Shaobi was originally dissatisfied with the Wen family's people coming to entangle again, but when she heard that she was in Qujiang, she suddenly asked, "When is your birthday?" β
When the Tsing Yi envoy 'woman' heard him, she was taken aback and whispered, "That's it...... Six days later! β
"This son knows." Ning Shaobi nodded, took the invitation from Zhuo Zhaojie's hand, looked at it casually, and said, "Then the Japanese prince will go to the banquet with Zhaojie." β
"Huh?!" Tsing Yi made the 'woman' frightened and 'colorful'!
Ning Shaobi looked at her lukewarmly: "Why is it that the Wen family does not welcome this son?" β
"No, no, no!" Tsing Yi made the 'woman' so frightened that she said three words in a row, before she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a frightened face, "The maid has no such intention, it's just ...... It's just that the servant didn't know that the son of the world also had this intention, so he only brought this invitation, so he ...... Therefore I am afraid......"
"This son is not interested in your lady's birthday." The last thing Ning Shaobi is afraid of is telling the truth, especially the unpleasant truth, he said casually, "This son is with his fiancΓ©e, so you don't have to give the post, forgive your family and don't dare not let this son in when the time comes!" β
The 'girl' in Tsing Yi said in a low voice: "The arrival of the prince is a matter of luxury, how can the lady of our family not let the prince in?" β
"Didn't you say that this birthday banquet is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in the Snow Tower, and if you want to be glorious, you will also return to the Snow Tower, what does it have to do with the Wen family?" Ning Shaobi said lightly, and turned to Zhuo Zhaojie with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Okay, the post has been taken, what do you say to someone?" Let's go. β
Zhuo Zhaojie sighed in her heart, she saw that even if she apologized for Ning Shaobi's 'woman' and Yan Yue's 'lust' for Ning Shaobi, first, the envoy 'woman' would not dare to accept it, and second, Ning Shaobi was afraid that there would be more mean words...... It's better to just leave it and end well.
Such a trivial matter, Ning Shaobi turned his head and didn't pay attention to it at all, and when he said that he was talking about the east and west, Zhuo Zhaojie no longer thought about how to apologize to the Wen family at that time, and turned his mind to the scenery of Qujiang.
At this time, the apricot 'flowers' on the bank of the Qujiang River have fallen, and a few peach trees occasionally mixed in the path have also withered with the east wind, and the branches and leaves of the apricot trees and peach trees have begun to gradually flourish, which is to enter the dense green and deep green Chenguang.
On the Qujiang River, one after another lotus leaves happily surfaced, large and small round covers all the way to the heart of the river, Qujiang Hibiscus Garden, since the name of the hibiscus garden, this lotus leaf is naturally all the way continuous.
Zhuo Zhaojie saw it, couldn't help but push the bracelet to his elbow, rolled up his sleeves, found a waterside, leaned over to 'touch' the nearby lotus leaves, Ning Shaobi naturally followed her and squatted down, pulled a few nearby lotus leaves with her hand, and said with a smile: "Do you like hibiscus?" β
"When I was in Jiangnan, I often went out with my grandfather, my grandfather fished, and my cousin and I played in the water to 'touch' the mussels and pick lotus seeds." Zhuo Zhaojie picked up a handful of water and poured it on the lotus leaves, and said with a smile, "Sometimes I forget to bring a hat and a robe, so I fold a wide lotus leaf to block the rain, in fact, it is useless, but it is just for fun...... Oops, don't pick it! β
Seeing that Ning Shaobi seemed to be about to fold a lotus leaf, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly stopped it, not wanting that Ning Shaobi had already taken it off quickly, and compared it to her sideburns with a smile, and said: "I think there is a word that is best used on you, green sideburns and Zhu Yan, but this will look like your sideburns are 'colored' like a crow's chicks, but being lined by this green lotus, it is really Zhu Yan's 'jade' appearance." β
Zhuo Zhaojie said angrily: "I won't tell you this!" If you want to pick it, don't pick it up like that! You see, the rest of the stalks are almost underwater! As she spoke, she grabbed the remaining stalks after Ning Shaobi picked the lotus leaves, carefully protecting the sparkling 'waves' that would not be blown away by the smoke, and at the same time looked left and right, as if looking for something.
Ning Shaobi was surprised: "What's the matter?" Although it is not Jiangnan, there is a lotus sound everywhere, but a lotus leaf does not matter...... What are you doing with this stalk? β
"You haven't picked lotus." Zhuo Zhaojie looked around and found what she was looking for, on the bank of the river less than an arm's length where she squatted down, there was a black and swarthy soil between two clumps of green grass, Zhuo Zhaojie didn't care about dirty, carefully grabbed a little, dipped a little water, and pasted the stalk, "So I don't know, this lotus 'flower' lotus leaf grows all on the lotus root at the bottom, you can also see no matter Flowers' leaves are still the future of the lotus pod, this stem and the lotus root is also through many small holes, so after picking down, if you don't seal the stalk mouth, the river water poured in, the lotus root at the bottom will rot Note, then it is not a lotus leaf. β
Ning Shaobi's 'color' instantly became solemn, and he praised: "Zhaojie's heart is so good!" β
What if all the hibiscus 'flowers' of Yiqujiang are dead?! How many coins is it for a round of replanting?
But......
Shi Wu said that there is an opportunity to praise the little lady, and you must not miss it, if you don't have the opportunity, you must also look for and find the opportunity! So this kind of opportunity to send 'door' is not to be missed!
Zhuo Zhaojie's hands were stained with mud, so he slowly washed it with the river water, and said with a smile: "It's just that I used to get used to it, my grandfather was very concerned about this, and there were a few times when my cousin was playful, and he didn't pay attention when he folded the lotus canopy, and he pulled it up directly, and the stalk was broken at the bottom of the water, and he was reprimanded by his grandfather, and even I was careful after that." β
At that time, the Qujiang River, the "color" is like a clear practice, the water is as clear as washing, Zhuo Zhaojie's ten fingers are delicate and soft and white, washed in the river water of Qinglingling, next to a few green lotus leaves that will come out of the water and not come out of the water leisurely with the "wave" slightly "swing", more and more set off her fingers like a beautiful "jade", Ning Shaobi saw that her heart moved, and couldn't help but also put her hand into the water, clasped her finger and said with a smile: "You want to seal the lotus leaf stalk with soil, tell me just that, I'll do it, why 'get dirty' yourself?" β
"There's water here, can't you just wash it?" Because this will be the two of them squatting at the water's edge, although the next person is standing nearby, but they are blocked by the two of them and can't see the water Ning shaking Bi's hand, Zhuo Zhaojie's face turned red, he struggled lightly, and said in his mouth, "Besides, in the past, I went out with my grandfather to 'go out' to fish, and 'touched' mussels were all 'touched' from the water or shallows and dense grass, how could it be possible not to get muddy water?" Moreover, man is out of the earth, and what is dirty about it? β
Ning Shaobi clasped her fingers and said with a smile: "That's right, but the skirt you're wearing today can't help but be dirty, so it's better to wash it carefully." He took her by the hand and couldn't pick it up in the water.
Zhuo Zhaojie looked at him with disgust, and used his strength, but Ning shook Bi and didn't let go, she couldn't compare, so she had to let him caress his hand in the water, the two of them were 'intertwined' with their ten fingers, Zhuo Zhaojie's face gradually turned red, and after a while, the little lady's heart was weaker, and she whispered: "Okay, it's almost." β
Although Ning Shaobi felt that Chenguang was too short, she was afraid of annoying her, so she had to reluctantly let go and said, "Okay." β
The two got up, Zhuo Zhaojie stumbled when he got up because he had been squatting for too long, and he almost didn't fall into the Qujiang River, so frightened that Ah Xing and Ah Li hurriedly came up to help, and said, "Lady be careful!" β
Ning Shaobi is a person who practices martial arts in the end, and the next plate is much more stable than Zhuo Zhaojie, and he generally squatted for a long time, but not only did he have nothing to do, but he also raised his arm in time to grab Zhuo Zhaojie and admonished: "Slow down when you get up." β
Zhuo Zhaojie hadn't passed the 'door' yet, he was held by him in front of everyone, and the 'color' of his face, which had not faded away, was even more red, and he was busy standing up first, and then he pushed Ning Shaobi's arm and said in a low voice: "Okay." β
Ning Shaobi smiled, took the handkerchief handed over by A Xing, carefully wiped the river water on her hand, the two heads were very close, looking at this appearance, the people did not dare to make a sound, he wiped his hands for Zhuo Zhaojie, and whispered: "This is the second time...... You can't be in such a hurry next time. β
As soon as he was reminded of this sentence, Zhuo Zhaojie immediately remembered that two years ago, in the study of Duanyi Yuan of Moling Youjia, he took a nap on the second floor of the study because he drank too much and smoked, but he didn't want to overhear the truth about Zhuo Zhaocui's southward journey, and then found Ning Shaobi - for fear that You Ruoheng and Cui Nanfeng would find out, he had to force down and exclaim and wait for the two downstairs to leave, but after You Ruoheng and Cui Nanfeng left, Zhuo Zhaojie was teased by Ning Yaobi, angry and "wanted" to go, and almost fell when he got up, and now it is Ning Yaobi who held it up......
That time, she was 'made' by Ning Shaobi - thinking of this, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help muttering: "You will bully me." β
Ning Shaobi thought that she was talking about what was happening in the water, and her heart was 'swaying', and she said with a smile: "Or, let you bully you back next time?" β
He thought it was a small teasing, but Zhuo Zhaojie thought it was saying that he would let himself 'get' it back next time, so he rolled his eyes and nodded: "Okay!" β
β¦β¦ I don't know if it's okay to let Zhaojie bully back now?
Ning Shaobi was overjoyed......
Note lotus 'flower' or lotus leaf after being picked after the stem into the water will rot lotus, forget to listen to who said, although the author grew in the south of the Yangtze River but because of the parents' concerns about safety, etc., this kind of thing has not really been done, the author has picked a lot of lotus leaves and lotus 'flowers' and the like are picked and left...... Ahem, once someone seemed to see what he said, and suggested that the author would find a ball of soil to stick the stalk after picking it in the future, I don't know if it's true or not...... But it sounds like it's true......
