Chapter 364: A Little Secret
After the meal, Fuqi and the two walked together in the house, and they didn't take the girl, just walked idlely, as they pleased, as they wanted.
Gu Wanyin didn't want to be seen and disturbed, so she went to a secluded place. It's also pure and free, rare and pure. Neither of them spoke, but walked slowly side by side. Occasionally, when she saw a crane or a rare bird in the garden, Gu Wanyin would take Zhou Ruijing to see it together, although she had not seen it before, but she also felt fresh and interesting.
"By the way, I heard Bi Mei say that there are lotus flowers in several places in our garden, I don't know if there are lotus flowers? Why don't we take a look? Because the moonlight is excellent, it is three points brighter than the lantern, Gu Wanyin suddenly became interested somehow, and she didn't want to go back so soon, just thinking about walking a little longer. said to go to see the lotus pod, but it's just an excuse.
Zhou Ruijing also indulged her, smiled in a low voice, took her hand and smiled: "Okay, then let's take a look." "There are a lot of lotus flowers in the house, and I think there are also them. I just don't know if anyone picked it off. In fact, if you want to eat fresh lotus seeds, you just have to say it, and naturally someone will find it. It's just rare to see Gu Wanyin's interest so high, and he is naturally willing to accompany her.
Zhou Ruijing knew a lot about Zhennan Wangfu, and it didn't take Gu Wanyin to find a small lake dug by hand, and there were indeed lotus leaves in it. At this time, although the flower time has already passed, it is also very lively - the lotus canopy stands in the middle of the lotus leaves, tall and thin, very interesting.
Gu Wanyin looked around with some regret, but found that she didn't lean on the lotus canopy near the water at all, even if she wanted to pick one or two, she had no chance. Zhou Ruijing saw her regrets. At the moment, she let go of her hand with a smile, walked a few steps to a reed swing by the lake, and touched a rope in a few clicks, and with the next force, she easily pulled out a small flat boat from it.
Gu Wanyin was so shocked that she almost didn't know what to say. But after thinking about it, I felt that I was making a fuss - what is the place of Zhennan Wangfu? Naturally, it is not comparable to small portals. And she doesn't go out and around much on weekdays, so naturally she doesn't know the details of the house very well. Zhou Ruijing grew up here. It's not surprising to know this. The reeds are swinging. Presumably, it was also deliberately planted here by craftsmen. Good for covering the boat, right?
Zhou Ruijing had already jumped on the flat boat, and the flat boat shook slightly, and it immediately stabilized again. Zhou Ruijing stood on the boat and stretched out his hand towards Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin glanced at Zhou Ruijing with some surprise. For a while, I didn't know what to do.
"What, don't believe me?" Zhou Ruijing raised his eyebrows slightly, printed with the cold moonlight, and there was a kind of picturesque eyebrows, like a sense of heaven; In addition, he is long, thin and straight. and he wore a silver-gray robe. Illuminated by the moonlight. It really feels like it's shining from the inside out. And all around, sparkling, a bright moon gently swaying in the water. It's not as beautiful as the mortal world.
For a moment, Gu Wanyin was almost stunned. Greeting Zhou Ruijing's jade-like shining eyes, Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand and hand it over to Zhou Ruijing's hand.
Zhou Ruijing immediately clenched her hand and pulled it gently. She jumped into the boat. When the hull of the boat boarded, Gu Wanyin was shocked, and couldn't help but exclaim. But Zhou Ruijing had already expected it, so he took her into his arms and protected her tightly. It didn't take long for the hull to settle down.
Gu Wanyin looked up at Zhou Ruijing, she had never experienced such an experience, so she was naturally at a loss.
"Sit down. I'll hold the boat. Zhou Ruijing smiled slightly, grabbed her hand, placed her on the flat boat, and then touched the hull of the boat, and found a bamboo pole. Holding the bamboo pole and pushing it the stone, the flat boat glided lightly on the water.
The cool breeze paved the surface, Gu Wanyin looked up at Zhou Ruijing, but she was very shocked and surprised in her heart - Zhou Ruijing, how could he seem to know anything?
Xu saw Gu Wanyin's shock, and Zhou Ruijing explained with a smile: "When I was a child, Ruiming and I didn't play anything in the house? Once, I took him to hide in this lotus leaf bush, so that the adults could find it easily, and afterwards the old lady punished us for kneeling for most of the day. We have done it all by picking lotus leaves, eating lotus flowers, pinching lotus flowers, and even fishing in it. ”
In a word, it made Gu Wanyin very envious. At the moment, he sighed regretfully: "You men can do so many things, when I was a child, I could only learn female red, and I was locked in the house to learn female precepts, where did I do these things?" After all, it's better to be a man. ”
"I'll take you to do it one by one in the future." Zhou Ruijing's voice came from above his head, with a faint smile and connivance: "These things can be done even by women." When we were fighting in Miaojiang, the women of Miaojiang were not inferior to men. It's just that most of our women in the Central Plains are raised in deep boudoirs, but they are too delicate. ”
When Gu Wanyin heard this, she couldn't help but show a little yearning: "If you have the opportunity, you must go over there to take a look." I never knew there were such landscapes and valleys in the world. "Most of the ladies and ladies spend their lives in the mansion, even if they travel occasionally, they just make incense outside the city. Compared to men, women are like canaries raised in cages.
"There's always going to be a chance." Zhou Ruijing laughed deeply, but the movements in his hands were non-stop, and in a few words, he had already propped the boat into the lotus leaf. He put away the bamboo pole, sat down, sat opposite her with a smile, reached out and picked a lotus canopy, opened it in three times and two times, and peeled off the lotus seeds.
Gu Wanyin stretched out her hands and leaned out in one place, under the moonlight, the glowing softness was like a blooming orchid.
Zhou Ruijing put the round lotus seeds in Gu Wanyin's soft palm. Gu Wanyin held it gently, raised her eyes and smiled at Zhou Ruijing, and in an instant, the brilliance flowed, and the beauty was like jade.
However, Gu Wanyin didn't peel the lotus seeds to eat, but carefully took a purse from her waist and put the lotus seeds in it. Then he re-tied it around his waist.
Zhou Ruijing was puzzled, but Gu Wanyin shook her head with a smile and refused to explain, only said, "Let's pick more lotus pods and go back to eat slowly, okay?" ”
Zhou Ruijing didn't ask when he saw that she didn't say anything, he just smiled and nodded, and then stood up and picked a lot of lotus pods and threw them in the boat. Gu Wanyin didn't dare to get up at first, she just watched, but after watching it for a long time, she inevitably felt itchy, so she begged Zhou Ruijing: "Is it okay for the prince to pull me?" ”
Zhou Ruijing really reached out to pull her, Gu Wanyin stood up cautiously, but she didn't dare to let go of her hand, she only dared to pull Zhou Ruijing with one hand, and carefully poked out to pick the lotus pod with the other hand. I finally picked one back, and when I got it, I held it tightly in the palm of my hand and refused to let go. The freshness and satisfaction in her heart made her laugh out loud: "Look, it's the first time I've picked a lotus pod." "Although she has peeled lotus pods before, they are all picked and sent by the subordinates, how can she ever do this herself?
Zhou Ruijing saw that her cheeks were dyed with a faint layer of pink with excitement, and she also smiled slightly: "Suo Xing will pick a few more, and Ming'er will make rock sugar lotus seeds to eat." ”
Gu Wanyin smiled and nodded in response, and sure enough, she picked a lot.
When the two of them remembered to go back, there were already a small pile of lotus pods in the boat, but Gu Wanyin looked at these lotus pods but was in trouble: "How to take them back?" "She and Zhou Ruijing have four hands, so naturally they can't hold so much. You can't throw it all away, can you? When his eyes turned, he saw Zhou Ruijing's robe, and he immediately had an idea, and said to Zhou Ruijing: "The prince pulled up his clothes, just to cover these lotus canopies, and we will also take them back." ”
Zhou Ruijing looked at her with a cunning face, as if she had stolen the fish cat, and couldn't help laughing at the moment. However, he was also obedient and obedient, pulled up the robe and made it into a pocket, and let Gu Wanyin put the lotus canopy in.
When she went back, Gu Wanyin pulled Zhou Ruijing all the way to sneak away from people, looking at her weak heart, she probably thought that the lotus pod was stolen, not planted in her own yard. Zhou Ruijing looked funny, but he deliberately didn't break it, but looked at her nervous look, and only felt that it was more interesting than anything else.
Finally, I avoided people all the way back to my yard. Gu Wanyin's cheeks were already slightly red with excitement, and she was sweating all over her body. Zhou Ruijing didn't have anything unusual except for looking a little bad at the lotus canopy.
Su Qin, who was waiting outside the door, saw them coming back, and hurriedly greeted them, and when she saw Gu Wanyin like this, she couldn't help laughing: "Where did the prince take the princess to take a turn?" Why is the princess so happy? ”
Listen to what Suqin said. Gu Wanyin couldn't help laughing, glanced back at Zhou Ruijing, but said to Su Qin with a smile: "Go and call all the people in our yard, we will pick the lotus pod and come back, and you guys will go and peel it and eat it." ”
Su Qin was a little surprised, "Where did you pick the lotus pod so late?" ”
Gu Wanyin didn't answer, she just pulled Zhou Ruijing in with a smile, took a basket out herself, and put all the lotus canopies in it. In her heart, tonight's experience is a little secret that only belongs to her and Zhou Ruijing, and she doesn't want to be shared, she only wants to hide it in her heart.
Zhou Ruijing saw that she refused to say, so he naturally didn't say it, but said to Su Qin with a smile: "Go and ask them to eat lotus seeds." Just leave some Ming'er to make rock sugar lotus seeds for the princess. ”
Gu Wanyin remembered something: "Pull out the lotus heart and keep it, Ming'er will make tea and eat it." Fresh lotus hearts are the best. Recently, autumn has been dry, and it is easy to get angry. And the lotus heart can also clear the eyes and clear the heart, the prince of the world reads in the study at night, and it is just right to drink a bowl. ”
Su Qin laughed out loud when he said this, and he was not afraid of death: "The princess is so considerate, it is not in vain to waste the care of the prince." ”
Gu Wanyin blushed and took a sip: "Can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat?" However, looking at Zhou Ruijing's eyes, there was a trace of warmth flowing silently.
