Chapter 320 The Taste of Early Summer 1
In early summer, the distant mountains and nearby water, the red flowers and green willows are extremely beautiful.
The carriage moves slowly and time passes slowly.
The early summer sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, and the ground is covered with coin-sized spots of light. A horse-drawn carriage passes through it, and a gentle breeze blows, blowing the young people who are peeking their heads out, creating the most beautiful picture.
Shangguan Yu silently memorized the scene on the mountain path in his mind, preparing to turn it into a painting.
A stream flows quietly among the mountains and fields, bending in the eyes of the young man. Under the shallow stones, the clear river water blends seamlessly with the space. For a moment, it is hard to tell whether the fish is swimming in the water or floating in the air.
Just like a fantasy scene, before reaching the farmhouse, Su Ruojin couldn't help getting off the carriage, holding up the corners, rolling up his trouser legs, rolling up his sleeves, and shouting to everyone: "I want to catch a fish and make soup."
He ran wildly towards the clear stream with his arms flapping. His cheerful figure attracted people in the carriage to jump off and join in this early summer.
Aunt Yang raised her eyes and saw the rolling hills in the distance from the blue sky, and the nearby rocks and streams from the lush greenery. The high sky and vast land made her heart open up as well, and she unconsciously enjoyed the tranquility of the mountains.
Yang Si Niang was used to carrying a sword, and the beautiful early summer made her forget her pain and enjoy the beauty of the moment.
"Ajin, I'm here, I'll help you." She drew out her sword and was about to stab with it, "I want to eat grilled fish."
"good."
Hua Ping asked the guards to take the carriage to a nearby farmhouse and said, "Tell her that the second lady is here and there are a few guests. Ask them to prepare lunch."
"good."
Hua Ping saw Ye Huaizhen standing by the stream, staring at the clear water without blinking, and walked over to her, "Want to go down?"
Ye Huaizhen shook her head and said, "The water in the mountains is still a little cold and a little unclear." She is not young anymore and cannot compare with these hot-tempered young girls.
Hua Ping couldn't help laughing, approached her, poked her, and whispered mischievously, "Feeling old?"
Ye Huaizhen turned around and glared at him in dissatisfaction. He was so speechless that she didn't bother to pay attention to him and deliberately kept two steps away from him. Hua Ping was like a sticky bug, following her wherever she moved.
Ye Huaizhen glared at him, "They are all unmarried young ladies, always so indecent."
Oh, it’s not that she thinks she is old, but that she dislikes him for being old. Hua Ping instantly lost his composure, “How am I old… How am I old…” He is still a handsome guy.
"How handsome can you be as handsome as this guy?"
Influenced by Su Ruojin, people around her also use the word "handsome" to describe handsome men.
Who is more handsome than him? Hua Ping was not convinced. None of the guards who followed him were as handsome as him. He turned his head and——
At some point, Zhao Lan and the others had arrived.
Why didn't I hear the sound of horse hooves? Although he was puzzled, Hua Ping immediately came forward and asked, "Little Prince, why are you here?"
What is he talking about? Why can't he come? I looked at him with disdain. He is really old. Why is he so slow like an old man?
Huaping:......
Uh... this is not what's going on. My wife said I was old, which was considered flirting. My master said he was old, what did that mean? Did he dislike him and want to replace him? Just like the retired guards around Ning Qilang?
Before he finished complaining, he suddenly realized that the person he was complaining about had also come, "Master Ning Qi, you are here too?"
What? These mountains and waters belong to your young prince Zhao? He can’t come here?
Ning Qillang glanced at Manager Hua in annoyance.
Huaping:......
Hey, what's going on? Our Mr. Ning Qi also doesn't care about him at all. What did he do to offend anyone?
Fan Yanjia smiled gently, "Long time no see, Manager Hua."
The third place winner was still polite. Hua Ping quickly bowed and congratulated him, "The Spring Examination is over. Congratulations to Mr. Fan for winning the third place. From now on, you will have a bright future."
Fan Yanjia's smile was quite sincere just now, but after Hua Ping's congratulations, it immediately turned into a wry smile. He shook his head weakly and walked to the front.
Huaping:......
Was it strange today? Did he see a ghost? What did he say? How did he offend the third place winner?
"Uh... no..." Hua Ping wanted to call out to Fan Tanhua, but seeing the young man's dejected back, his hand stopped in mid-air. What was he, a steward, saying by calling Tanhua Lang?
Shangguan Yu smiled and said, "Manager Hua, Ah Hui and I will walk back to the farmhouse first, you guys can enjoy yourself."
"Okay." Hua Ping said, "The room is still the one you stayed in before. I have already told the housekeeper in advance."
"Thank you, Manager Hua."
"You're welcome."
Shangguan Yu took the young lady back to the farm first.
By the creek, Su Ruojin was catching fish in the cracks of the rocks. She looked at the fish under the clear water, one after another, as if she could touch them with her bare hands. However, these fish were very slippery and would slip away as soon as she touched them and run away as soon as she caught them.
She got her clothes wet, but still didn't catch him.
Zhao Lan took off the sword from his waist and used it as a stick to help her guard the crevice.
Su Ruojin saw the scabbard in front of her and stood up happily, "Brother Jin, why are you here?"
"You can come to play, but I can't?"
"Yes, of course..."
Seeing the young lady laughing foolishly, Zhao Lan quickly reminded her, "Fish!"
He didn't move, and a fish that was longer than his hand was pressed against the sheath.
Su Ruojin happily bent over and snorted as she caught it, "Wow, wow, I finally caught it... I finally caught it..."
Mao Ya quickly came over to take the fish and reminded her, "Jin Niang, the water in the mountains is cold. Let's catch it when the weather gets really hot."
She shook her head and said, "No, one is not enough." She was not satisfied yet and wanted to catch more.
Zhao Lan had already bent down and stretched out his hand to feel the water. The water temperature was not high, so as not to let the young lady catch a cold. "Come up first."
"No, Brother Jin, I want to catch a few more." Although the young lady usually acts coquettishly, she is never as lively and bright as today. It may be that the sunlight from the mountains is dazzling and mottled, which makes Zhao Lan's heart beat fast, and he agrees in a daze.
One of them used his scabbard to block, while the other reached out to grab them. After a while, they caught several.
“(*@ο@*)Wow~, there really is strength in numbers.”
Huaping:......
Two people is also called many people... and great strength?
Feeling the master's sharp eyes, well, one master can rival thousands of troops, there is indeed strength in numbers.
Hua Ping was too lazy to look at the two of them, so he moved his gaze to the next couple.
Yang Si Niang fled all the way to the capital. After more than half a year of wandering, she was no longer the little girl in the boudoir. She had strong survival skills. She held the sword like a harpoon, waiting quietly on the water surface. When she saw the fish, she would seize the opportunity and strike with the sword, quickly and accurately.
With a splash, a fish swam up and down with the sword and landed on the sword.
Su Ruojin heard the sound of water, turned around and was impressed by Yang Siniang's neat movements, "Wow, Arong, you are amazing."
Although Yang Si Niang had been wandering for a long time, she had never caught a fish. This was her first time. Just now, Su Er Niang and Prince Zhao had already caught two or three fish together. Not only did she not catch any, she also didn't know how to start.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally saw a fish coming and she acted swiftly, but she didn't expect to be able to stab the fish.
Could it be that her swordsmanship has improved to the point where she can even stab fish?
A few steps away on the creek bank, a small stone was missing in front of Master Ning Qi's toes, and no one knew where it flew to.
Seeing the young lady's surprised and dazed look, it was quite adorable. Ning Qilang couldn't help but smile. He hadn't seen her for nearly a month, and she was much more lively than before. It seemed that the beauty of nature and scenery was really nourishing.
