Chapter 299 Jiangnan can pick lotus

February, it is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River!

The green willows support the wind, the twilight clouds sing, and the wildflowers blooming everywhere decorate every corner of the city and beyond.

From time to time in the city, you can see the ladies of the noble family dressed in colorful clothes, and there are also twenty-eight girls from the fishermen who speak Wu Yue's soft language everywhere outside the city, some of them are fishing with their families at the same time, they are fishing for water chestnuts and lotus roots, and some of them simply go out to throw up small fishing nets in person.

Although the river fresh in spring is relatively thin, but this is the cleanest time for the river fresh, this time is the season when the pufferfish swim upstream, enter the river from the sea to spawn, so the Wuyue people who love to eat pufferfish are simply desperate to catch pufferfish.

Even these young girls, in order to increase their family's income, have now begun to use light boats to catch pufferfish everywhere, as long as a pufferfish more than two feet in length, it is enough to make these ordinary family members have an extra month's money for firewood, rice, oil and salt.

At this time, although the scholars paid attention to the etiquette of some daughters' families to avoid outsiders, where did the children of ordinary people have such cumbersome rules, so these young girls let Wang Ze appreciate the scenery of Jiangnan at the same time, but also read all over the Jiangnan women.

"Han Youjun, this Le Youyuan is really a good place!" Wang Ze sat cross-legged on the soft mat with his legs crossed, and a mahogany oil table was placed in front of him, sitting opposite Han Zigao, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt and had his hair in a bun.

This is in a forest meadow by a large lake, a large tree shades the sky, not far from the two of them is a peach tree, at this time the flowers are blooming, a pavilion is hidden in the peach blossoms.

The east side of the Zhoushan Mountain is close at hand, and the north is not far from the Xuanwu Lake outside Jiankang City, because the lake surface has not been filled in part at this time, so the water surface of more than ten miles of smoke and waves appears to be very wide, and the water surface is not far away and is dotted with large lotus leaves.

At the end of February, the lotus leaves in the south of the Yangtze River have covered a large area of the water, and there are Wu Yue girls in light gauze short clothes on the water, holding a penny to walk among the lotus leaves, some are fishing, and some are picking high-quality lotus leaves to make lotus leaf cakes.

After saying the last sentence casually, Wang Ze picked up a small plate of pastries held in the white porcelain plate of Wuxing County, which looked green and pomelo colored, and smelled a faint aroma of lotus leaves, which was a very famous lotus leaf cake in the Southern Dynasty, which was particularly refreshing with Wang Ze's favorite tea.

"Xiahou, although your way of drinking tea is peculiar, but it also tastes unique, in the past, I always felt that this lotus leaf cake was a little too sweet, and today with these teas, it is much better!" Han Zigao replied softly.

Han Zigao is the Han Right Army in Wang Ze's mouth, because after Chen Qian ascended the throne, he promoted this cronie to the general of the Right Army, so everyone called Han Youjun, and now Han Zigao is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, even if he is wearing a military uniform, he looks like Fu Fan, and his expression is looking forward to life.

That is, Wang Ze is familiar with Han Zigao these days, otherwise Wang Ze really wouldn't dare to act with Han Zigao, this man is too demonic, as long as he is a person who has no conflict of interest with Han Zigao, he will soon be attracted to him at a glance.

Wang Ze now understands why Han Zigao is always called Chen Qian's male queen by later generations, this kind of person is too demonic, it's amazing!

Today, Wang Ze was invited by Chen Qian and Han Zigao to come to the Le Youyuan to play and hunt, which is a garden adjacent to Xuanwu Lake in the north of Jiankang City, and it is also a good place for Chen Qian and the royal ministers to relax and relax on weekdays, and the scenery is not generally beautiful.

However, after Wang Ze came, Chen Qian suddenly had some affairs to deal with, so she went to the nearby palace to deal with some things, leaving only Han Zigao to accompany her, which was enough to see Chen Qian's sincerity to Wang Ze.

Regarding Wang Ze's praise of Leyouyuan, Han Zigao smiled faintly and said: "This Leyouyuan is just on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, and Zhongshan Mountain in the northeast, and the scenery is picturesque and only a few steps away from Taicheng, so of course it is a good place!" What's more, there is a girl's fishing song in front of me, so let Xiahou watch more of my Southern Dynasty scenery! ”

As if he was deliberately cooperating with Han Zigao's words just now, at the same time as his words fell, there was a burst of singing from the fisherman's lotus picking girl: "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian, there are double carps, and the blue waves are ······ in the play."

After a breeze wrinkled a large area of water, the weeping willow branches in front of Wang Ze gently swayed, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air, I don't know if it was the fragrance of flowers blooming everywhere in the mountains and fields far outside the city, or the body fragrance of the lotus picking girls.

Probably because the harvest was good, the girls on the lake began to sing the lotus picking song that has been passed down for a long time since the Han Dynasty, the voice was natural and soft, and there was a hint of lightness, which was not comparable to the songs of some stars in later generations, so that Wang Ze and Han Zigao stopped and listened carefully.

It may be that he has been in a panic for the past two days, Wang Ze heard the girls' fishing songs and suddenly became interested, he stood up and walked to a lake with a width of two or three zhang, deep into the big stone on the water surface, from here you can see a lotus picking girl in plain clothes not far away, about a distance of less than two hundred zhang. First Chinese Network

So Wang Ze stood on the big rock, opened his voice and sang: "The fish plays the lotus leaf east, the fish plays the lotus leaf south, who is the daughter in the depths of the lotus leaf, laughs and throws a lotus ······ across the water."

For Wang Ze's singing, if he sings loudly 'Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water', it is still quite heroic, but now singing such a Wu Yue love song, using the four words 'ghost crying wolf howl' to evaluate it feels like a compliment.

It's just because Wang Ze has been successful in practicing over the years, full of energy, and his voice is very high, although there is still a distance of nearly two hundred zhang from those lotus-picking girls, but this voice suddenly suppressed the singing of the lotus-picking girls in the distance, and the lake was quiet for a while.

For Wang Ze's naughtiness, Han Zigao just pursed his lips and chuckled, but he just sat in place and didn't say anything, he had more contact with Wang Ze before, and he always felt that this young man was too young and old, and his scheming was too deep, but at this time, Wang Ze suddenly came to such a moment, and suddenly he felt that this young man was cute.

The lotus picking girls seemed to be frightened by the sudden voice at first, but then they reacted, although they knew that this was the Leyou Garden where the nobles played from time to time, but there was still a rather loud girl singing.

"The owner is not a sorrowful girl, and her appearance is beautiful and beautiful. Fourteen can read books, and fifteen can sew shirts. Sixteen lotus picking, Ling Ge is idle. Wear lotus leaves under the sun, smile and lean on the edge of the South Pond······"

This girl's voice is not as soft as Wu Yue's girl's singing, which has a bit of a northern accent, but it may be because she has lived in the land of Wu Yue for a long time, so she is straightforward and soft, which can be said to be a mixture of northern and southern accents.

But this kind of mixed sound sounds different.

"This should be the daughter of the Northland Wandering Family," Han Zigao finally couldn't sit still, got up and walked over, and jumped on this big stone with a radius of several zhang while explaining, and then sang back loudly, "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian." The water is covered with empty emerald color, and the flowers bloom cold and red. Passers-by are so fortunate to meet here······"

Han Zigao is not only very feminine, but also his voice and singing skills are particularly pleasant, this singing suddenly made the lotus picking girls in the distance laugh, and they even sang back together: "Mengjun gave lotus roots, and the lotus roots are inextricably linked." Mengjun gave lotus fruit, and his heart was as bitter as a fried ······"

These lotus-picking girls are probably so bold that they actually rowed a small boat to approach from a distance, and sang while rowing: "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian." How easy is it to pick lotus, how difficult is it to stay in a horse, the geese in the distant mountains are crying constantly, and the clouds in the far pool are as white as sails. The far bell urges the guests to go, and the long way is long for the guests to return ······"

Of course, Wang Ze couldn't show weakness in response to the generous response of the lotus-picking girls, and continued to sing loudly: "Lead me to the green horse and raise my willow silk whip." Step on the road when I come, and find my old joy. Looking back at Wangjun has been across the shore, waving goodbye to the gentleman has tears in his eyes······"

At this time, the small boat of the lotus-picking girls rowed to a lotus leaf only twenty zhang away from the two of them, and stopped, and one of them was a tall girl in red who sang loudly: "Look at the gentleman's sorrow and tears, watch the gentleman smile and move the boat, thinking about it, and the blockage can't speak······"

After the girl in red finished singing, more than ten lotus picking girls followed behind and sang with laughter: "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves and empty fields, Mo Yan picks lotus, Mo Yan picks lotus alone, the west wind blows the incense in the lotus pond, and the dream of a guest is like a cold ······ overnight."

After these fishermen finished singing, they were about to row away with a smile, but Wang Ze felt bored at this time, so he said loudly: "A few little ladies, the scenery here is beautiful, the breeze is warm, and there is a little tea to fill the intestines, why don't you come to the shore and sit for a while?" ”

Of course, Wang Ze is not good at making claims, this is still after Han Zigao carefully observed, and saw that these girls were indeed just ordinary fishermen's girls, so Wang Ze decided to invite a group of little girls to talk.

Not only did I feel a little quiet, but I also learned how some ordinary people in the Southern Dynasties lived through these girls, so that we could see more clearly the current comprehensive national strength of Nan Chen.

However, the lotus picking girls in the lake did not immediately agree when they heard Wang Ze's invitation, first of all, how could the girl's family agree to the stranger's invitation like this, let alone the young man who was on vacation in the royal garden.

Don't look at them just now generously dared to sing with Wang Ze and Han Zigao on the lake, but if they were asked to accept the invitation generously, it would not be for them to dare to accept it when they came ashore, and they didn't know what the children of the nobles of the Southern Dynasty were like before.

But at this time, it was obvious that the girl in red with a long figure was their backbone, and a group of more than a dozen girls all looked at her in unison.

The girl in red thought for a long time before she nodded slowly, so they talked to each other softly, and then slowly rowed the boat towards Wang Ze, the boat had a shallow draft, so it was easy to approach the shore.
