Chapter 74: Duckweed

Li Jinsheng said: "Not exactly. Organize a flower party, and Josin will just keep an eye on it. I am mainly responsible for the livelihood affairs of the Li Mansion, and if you want to listen, I will let you know. ”

Xue Yun has been in the Li Mansion for many days, although he has not met Qiao Xin a few times, he also knows that Qiao Xin's status in the Li Mansion is similar to that of the steward Li Fu, but Qiao Xin is much younger than Li Fu in age. After Xue Yun heard Li Jinsheng's words, his face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Second cousin, don't tell me about those secret things." ”

Li Jinsheng touched Xue Yun's little head and asked with a smile, "Why?"

Xue Yun said softly: "Although I know that my grandfather, grandmother, and second cousin, you cherish me very much because of my aunt's early death, but I am a member of the Xue family after all, and naturally I can't listen too much about the affairs of the house." ”

"Well, I won't say it. Li Jinsheng listened and smiled. Changbing, I'll try to keep you after all!

Xue Yun continued to stare out the window, looking at the pedestrians, cars and horses on the street with great interest. The white horse followed silently beside the carriage that Xue Yun was riding. Since the white horse is not saddled, passers-by are quite interested in it, and they inevitably stop to watch and point out. Bai Ma ignored these at all, and his whole mind was tied to Xue Yun, who was lying on the car window and looking at it excitedly. If one day, I appear in front of you with a different identity, will you be as gentle to me as you did to Li Jinsheng?

Xue Yun looked a little tired, so he lowered the curtain and reclined on the wall of the carriage to rest, but he didn't expect to fall asleep. When she woke up again, she found herself lying on her back on Li Jinsheng's legs, so uncomfortable!

Xue Yun was so frightened that she got up and sat down, looking at Li Jinsheng with a smile, ashamed of herself. Didn't you sleep with your back against the wall of the carriage just now? Why did you fall asleep on your second cousin's legs?

"Changbing, what are you wondering about?" Li Jinsheng immediately asked with a smile when he saw Xue Yun's suspicious expression.

"No, there is no doubt. Xue Yun hurriedly denied it.

Li Jinsheng chuckled, picked up a goose yellow gauze robe and draped it over Xue Yun's shoulders, and tied a brocade belt on her neckline. At this time, Li Jinsheng's forehead and Xue Yun's cheek were less than three inches away, and even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard very clearly. Xue Yun stared at Li Jinsheng, who was focused, and remembered the words of Li Jinsheng and the other sisters at the night banquet that night, and her cheeks gradually became hot.

"Changbing, I'm not drunk. I'm happy tonight, and I want to fight a thousand cups with Hachiro. As soon as this basin comes out, Vientiane will open the way, Qixing will be on duty, and he will return to the house at the right time, okay?"

"Sister Changbing, the second cousin is asking you for instructions!"

"Second cousin asked you, he is happy tonight, he wants to fight with Ao Hachiro for a thousand glasses, and wait until the morning star is illuminated, and then return to the house?"

"How does that sound like pleading with your own lady? ha. ”

......

Xue Yun thought of this inexplicably, his face became more and more red, and he couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed, and shook his head vigorously.

Li Jinsheng helped Xue Yun tie the brocade ribbon on his neckline, raised his eyes and found that Xue Yun was looking at him with a flushed face, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Changbing, are you shy?"

Xue Yun hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, nothing." ”

Li Jinsheng asked knowingly, and said with a smile: "But your face is red." ”

Xue Yun hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage, fanned the breeze on his cheek with the palm of his hand, and said, "That's because it's too hot and red in this carriage." ”

After Li Jinsheng listened, he smiled brightly with stars in his eyes. He walked over, his long arm naturally wrapped around Xue Yun's shoulder, pointed to the long bridge like the arch moon in the distance, and said softly: "Look, that is the Lanhe Bridge, and you can enter Lanhe Town after crossing the Lanhe Bridge." ”

Lanhe Town is located in the southeast of Haizhou, less than 30 miles away from the boundary monument of Huting, and is the closest town to Nanzhao in Shudi. The pavilion is the boundary between Nanzhao and Shu, the south of the boundary monument belongs to the Nanzhao, and the north of the boundary monument belongs to the Shu land. Originally, the south of the pavilion was a vein of Haizhou, but because the king of Nanzhao had to cut off half of it when he negotiated peace with Shu, he refused to make a truce if he did not give in, and the imperial city of Shu had to agree. Although there is a boundary monument for the pavilion, the people of Haizhou and Haizhou have not stopped the exchange.

Lanhe Town is like spring all year round, and melons, fruits and vegetables are very abundant. The Haizhou government decided to hold the annual flower party in Lanhe Town this year because of the instructions of the imperial city of Shu: first, Shu and Nanzhao have been friends for several years, and they just use the name of the flower party to meet guests; second, the flower party will attract a large number of people from inside and outside Shu to come to study, because of the decline of the previous dynasty, many famous scholars are hidden in the downtown or between the mountains and rivers, and they can be vigorously recruited at this time; third, in order to revitalize the local business, increase the town's reputation inside and outside Shu. Therefore, compared with the flower party in previous years, this year's Haizhou government has spent a lot of effort to procure.

Xue Yun looked at the Lanhe Bridge that was getting closer and closer to him, and asked, "Second cousin, you said that this bridge is obviously like a crescent moon, why do you want to take the common name of Lanhe Bridge?"

Li Jinsheng said with a smile: "Because the river under the bridge is called Lan River." There is a river before there is a bridge, and this bridge is naturally named after the river. ”

Xue Yun pouted and said, "It's really nothing new." ”

Li Jinsheng rubbed Xue Yun's little head and said with a smile: "Although the name of this Lanhe Bridge is not new, this Lanhe has some origins, do you want to hear it?"

When Xue Yun heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Naturally, I want to listen." ”

Li Jinsheng immediately said: "A long time ago, this river had no name, because at that time it was just a big ditch. One day, there was a sudden rainstorm in the sky, and the rain was mixed with snowflakes. Although it was sleet, it wasn't cold, and there was a lot of thick fog that poured up. The fog was so thick that I couldn't see my fingers. It took three days in a row for the torrential rain, snowflakes, and fog to dissipate, and the ditch swelled dozens of feet wide. Since then, the surface of the water has been clouded and misty all year round, and it is very beautiful. Because of the perennial clouds and mist, the elders in the town who have a little knowledge have named it Lanhe. ”

"Before the appearance of these three-day wonders, did any auspicious beasts appear?" Xue Yun asked curiously.

Li Jinsheng said with a smile: "According to the old people in the town, rare and exotic beasts have never appeared. Since then, however, a species of water grass called green duckweed has grown along the river, and in the summer, it blooms in a variety of colors, attracting many people to visit. ”

When Xue Yun heard this, he said happily: "Then I'll get out of the carriage and go to see if there is duckweed by the river?"

Li Jinsheng said: "It's spring, you have to go and see, at most you can see the green leaves of a river of green duckweed." ”

After hearing this, Xue Yun couldn't help but show a look of pity, and said, "It seems that I really don't have eyes." ”

Li Jinsheng said with a smile: "This is not far from Haizhou City, if you want to come, I will bring you here in the summer." ”

When Xue Yun heard this, he lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "Second cousin, after the flower meeting, I'm afraid I'm going back." ”
