Chapter 44: Island in the middle of the lake
As soon as Lin Wanwan and Shi Manzi got off the boat, they were deeply attracted by the beauty of the island.
As far as the eye can see, the whole island is planted with pink and white flowers and trees, as far as the eye can see, and the night mist is like light smoke between the flowers and trees, as if shrouded in a layer of light veil and thin man, like a dream.
Beside the road of the bluestone wall, all kinds of strange flowers and plants are bathed in the silver glow of the moonlight, and you can vaguely see the crystal mottled dew on it. The night breeze blows slowly, the insects chirp among the grass, the dark fragrance faintly attacks people, and the colorful fallen Ying flies in the air with the wind, falling all over the ground pink and white.
On the shore of the water in the distance, a water pavilion is hidden next to a flourishing flower tree, and a lantern painted with gold tassels hangs under the cornices around it, and the golden tassels at the bottom of the lantern sway in the wind, casting a faint ink shadow on the ground.
Looking from afar, you can see the sparkling water reflecting the delicate carved moon cave door of the water pavilion, and the hazy veil in the door is flying with the wind, and the shadows are full of shadows, like a bewitching woman waving her water sleeves and singing and dancing.
"It's beautiful, it's the best place to come here to enjoy the moon." Luo Huaizhou shook the folding fan triumphantly and walked to the two girls with his head held high.
"When I was young, I heard that Nanling City, an island in the middle of the lake, has an extreme scenery, pleasant flowers, and planted an island of undefeated flowers and trees in all seasons, which is very spectacular. Lin Wanwan couldn't help but take a few steps forward, raising her eyes to look up at the flowers and trees, her watery eyes seemed to have fallen into the entire galaxy, bright and dazzling.
Su Jingqian walked from the shore, and inadvertently raised her eyes, and saw her standing sideways under the flower tree, white clothes better than snow, wide sleeves facing the wind, and her body seemed to be shrouded in layers of moonlight, exuding a breathtaking and moving light. She tilted her head slightly, and the sky fell from her side one after another, and her beautiful face was brighter and brighter against the pink petals.
At a glance, just like back then, everything in this world could no longer enter his eyes.
As if sensing his gaze, she looked back at him and smiled, like a beautiful scenery blooming between her brows.
He walked towards her, gently brushing the petals from her hair, his eyes narrow, and his smile gentle.
In such a picture, Rao couldn't help but be stunned by Luo Huaizhou, who was accustomed to beauty.
Shi Manzi looked at the two people in front of him who looked horizontally into paintings and vertically as poems, smiled gently, and whispered beside him, "I have never seen such a woman, she is smart, interesting and understanding, just like the bright moon in the sky, and the stars in the sky are not as dazzling as her." And Su Gongzi is like a round of scorching sun, so dazzling that people dare not look at it directly. When they are together, they are radiant and deservedly the best in the world. ”
Luo Huaizhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her, he was used to seeing the intrigue of the harem, it was the first time he saw a woman sincerely praising another woman, and she was the same as him, and felt that they were very compatible. Looking at it like this, I suddenly felt that this Miss Shi was also a little pleasing to the eye.
A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper greeted him and respectfully reported to Luo Huaizhou: "Lord Wang, the banquet of the Water Pavilion has been prepared, and the sky lantern you want has also been placed inside." ”
Luo Huaizhou nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let people wait." Then he complained to the two people in front of him, "Let's go, I'm hungry." ”
A few people talked and laughed, and followed the housekeeper all the way towards the water pavilion.
At the banquet, Luo Huaizhou and Lin Wanwan seemed to feel unfinished, while drinking the newly brewed osmanthus wine, they chatted from the previous dynasty's book to the recent book, from the love of the hero and heroine to the love of the male protagonist. The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and there was a feeling that they hated being late at night, if it weren't for the housekeeper to stop them, it is estimated that they would all have to worship on the spot.
Shi Manzi listened to the two of them talking with laughter, showing a surprised expression from time to time, and covering her mouth and chuckling from time to time.
Su Jingqian sat aside, lazily supporting his chin, sometimes closing his eyes to recuperate, sometimes casually playing with the wine glass in his hand, and occasionally he couldn't listen to it, so he opened his mouth in a deep voice to correct the unreasonableness in their script.
Such a picture of smiling and smiling lasted for a full hour.
After being full of wine and food, Luo Huaizhou asked the housekeeper to bring the sky lantern and pen and ink, and the two girls each took a sky lantern with great interest, and wrote their wishes on it seriously.
After Lin Wanwan finished writing, she excitedly ran to Su Jingqian with the sky lantern, and hunched over behind him and looked at the sky lantern in his hand with a curious expression, wanting to see what wishes this person would write.
Su Jingqian put down the pen amusedly, and showed it to her sideways without concealment.
"What, don't you have a wish?" Looking at the empty pen and ink on his sky lantern, Lin Wanwan muttered with a little disappointment.
"If you have a wish, even if you write it, it may not come true, so it's better to keep it in your heart." He turned his head to meet her gaze, the corners of his lips smiling, his deep pupils reflecting the flames of candlelight, looking like amber without any impurities, glowing with a touching luster, extremely seductive.
She saw an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, then turned her face sideways and pretended to be casual "sigh", and fled quickly.
Luo Huaizhou walked up to him with a smile, looked at Lin Wanwan's back, and quipped: "Xiao Yuewan is indeed a very interesting person, no wonder I haven't seen you take a second look at any woman for so many years." For a woman like her, if it weren't for the fact that the opponent was yours, I would definitely snatch her by any means. ”
Su Jingqian's eyes flashed with a very fast dark light, and then he looked at him with his lips hooked, and there was a playful smile floating in his lazy eyes, "Luo Huaizhou, it seems that a daughter of a scholar of the Ministry of Officials can't satisfy you, why don't I ask out the young ladies of other families for you, it must be very interesting." ”
Luo Huaizhou couldn't laugh anymore, this person's heart was too small, didn't he just joke with him? As for retaliating against him like this?
The gentle river breeze blows in the face, the lights flicker slightly, the veil is lightly rolled, and the hexagonal wind duo hanging under the eaves tooth is swaying with the wind, making a pleasant sound.
On the shore of the water, sky lanterns slowly float into the night sky, like rising stars.
Shi Manzi folded her hands in front of her chest and closed her eyes reverently.
Lin Wanwan and Su Jingqian stood side by side, raising their eyes to look at the sparks under the moonlit night, watching the faint ink light and dark with the dancing flames, and a trace of complex and subtle emotions flashed in their eyes.
Luo Huaizhou tilted his head beside Su Jingqian and looked at the two of them with interest, a bright smile rippled from his pure eyes, and he asked expectantly: "Jingqian, we will come once every year in the future, okay?" ”
Su Jingqian's gaze froze slightly, his gaze slowly moved to the sparkling water, and his handsome and peerless side face was hidden in the flickering light and shadow, his eyes were deep and his expression was unknown.
After a long time, I heard him speak in a deep voice, "...... Good. ”
