Chapter 243 Falling into the Water
It's just dawn.
The rooster just crowed for a while.
Jiang Miaomiao was pulled out of the bed by her mother.
She felt like she was being used as a tool.
"Miaomiao, remember this: don't let Sister Xu get close to your brother Yanshu."
"Well, just stay with Brother Yanshu and don't go anywhere."
"Especially when we go to the lake, follow Brother Yanshu closely."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
Shouldn't she be with Sister Jinqiao? Why should she be with Brother Yanshu?
Jiang Qiao'er was also puzzled, "Aunt, why don't you let Miaomiao follow me?"
Lu Qingyao asked, "Qiao'er, do you think Yanshu's brother and sister-in-law want you to go on the trip with them?"
"Of course...I don't think that's desirable, right?" Jiang Qiao'er seemed to be thinking about something.
How could she not feel that the Xu sisters looked down on her?
But their thoughts are not important. What is important is what Brother Yanshu thinks of her. She only cares about Sun Yanshu's opinion.
Lu Qingyao asked again, "Then why do you think Yanshu insisted on letting you go?"
"He probably wants Miss Xu San to give up her thoughts on him." Qiao'er was still very pleased with Sun Yanshu's performance yesterday.
She also thought Xu Sanniang was pretty, but Brother Yanshu had never even looked at her.
On the contrary, it was Xu Sanniang whose eyes seemed to be fixed on Brother Yanshu, which made her feel a sense of crisis immediately.
"Aunt, I understand. Miss Xu San will definitely not give up."
Sun Yanshu rode his horse and waited at the gate of Lu Garden early.
When he saw them come out, he was like a child who had made a mistake, very attentive and kept trying to please Qiao'er.
Jiang Miaomiao rode in the carriage with Sister Qiao and Xier.
Along the way, the little girl nestled in her sister's arms and yawned, looking like she was still sleepy.
Dozing off in a daze.
It was not until the carriage stopped by the East Lake that she remembered what her mother had told her and she perked up.
Sun Yanshu was curious. The little girl had been sticking to him since she got out of the car. Wherever he went, the little girl followed him and held on to his sleeves tightly.
He felt that he couldn't walk anymore, so he just picked up the little cub and shook him.
Smiling, he asked, "Did Miaomiao eat too much again?"
"No." Jiang Miaomiao's face turned red because she was called fat by everyone except her brother.
She was still a little embarrassed.
She was wearing a small furry white cape today.
Like a little ball of fur.
Brother Yanshu and Sister Qiao wore cloaks and clothes of the same color. I don’t know if they had discussed it in advance, but at first glance, they looked like couple outfits.
Speaking of which, the lake water is still a bit cold in February.
It is said that ducks know first when the river water warms in spring, but there are no ducks in the East Lake. There are only a few white water birds flying by and landing in the reeds.
The river was covered with mist, and the early morning sun shone on the water vapor, making the surface of the river look like it was covered with fog.
Like a dream.
If the people traveling with her were not the Xu sisters, Jiang Miaomiao would still be quite interested.
They boarded a pleasure boat, made tea and waited for people.
When the morning light spread across the entire lake, people arrived.
They opened the curtain and looked into each other's eyes.
Miss Xu San's smile froze on her face.
Xu's face instantly fell. She glanced at Jiang Qiao'er and the others in the pleasure boat and said unhappily, "Third brother, why did you bring them here?"
Sun Erlang was also taken aback, then tried to smooth things over, "I asked my third brother to bring Miss Jiang along, it would be more lively with more people."
Everyone got on the pleasure boat.
Sun Erlang and his wife and Xu Sanniang sat on one side.
Sisters Sun Yanshu and Jiang Qiaoer sat opposite each other.
silence.
Silence is the language at this time.
The Xu sisters expressed their dissatisfaction with silence.
Sun Yanshu and Jiang Qiaoer were in awkward silence.
Sun Erlang was so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his toes.
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
He grabbed Sun Yanshu and asked for water, walnuts, and snacks.
Suddenly, Sun Yanshu and Jiang Qiaoer became busy.
One served tea to the little girl.
One peeled walnuts for her.
Then, Xu Sanniang probably felt it was too bright, so she went outside to get some fresh air.
Sun Erlang got the look from his wife and started to invite his brother to play a game of hands.
The chessboard was set out, and Sun Yanshu couldn't refuse.
Jiang Qiaoer and Jiang Miaomiao were both a little bored. Neither of them understood how to play chess, so they just ate melon seeds and walnuts like little squirrels.
Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, let's go outside and get some fresh air."
Seeing that Sun Ersao was in a good mood at the moment, Jiang Qiaoer seemed unable to refuse and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Miaomiao hesitated for a while, wondering whether to listen to her mother's instructions and stay with her brother Yanshu, or go out with Sister Qiaoer.
After thinking about it, he took Sister Qiao’s hand.
Because I always feel that there is a hidden knife in Sun Ersao's smile.
A small table and a futon were set up on the deck. Miss Xu San sat by the boat and played the pipa. The sound of the pipa was very pleasant to hear.
Jiang Miaomiao pulled her sister to sit on the small cushion.
Willows sway by the lake.
Crowds of people were moving under the willow trees, and vendors and peddlers began to hawk their wares.
"Shaobing...selling shaobing..."
“Steamed buns… freshly baked steamed buns…”
"Selling flowers... selling plum blossoms, peach blossoms, and apricot blossoms..."
There is also the singing of vendors by the lake.
Jiang Miaomiao and Jiang Qiaoer looked around curiously. They had never come to East Lake for a boat ride so early before, and they didn't expect that there were so many people here.
Moreover, the hawkers' calls sound like singing, which is quite nice to listen to.
Jiang Miaomiao was listening intently.
Suddenly there was a plop.
"Falling into the water... Someone fell into the water..."
I heard a few more calls.
"Miaomiao, sit still and don't move. Xier, take good care of your girl." Xier held Jiang Miaomiao and sat her on the futon.
Then I saw Sister Qiaoer walking towards the boat.
The maids on the boat also gathered around.
Jiang Miaomiao was not worried about Sister Qiaoer because she was quite good at swimming.
There is no girl or boy who grows up in the village who can't swim.
However, but...
Jiang Miaomiao saw a lotus-pink figure flash by and appear behind Sister Qiao...
"Plop~"
The man pushed her, and Sister Qiao lost her balance and fell into the water.
Miss Xu San, who was dressed in pink, shouted, "Miss Jiang fell into the water... Miss Jiang..."
"Hurry up, what are you standing there for? Go down and save them." Sun Ersao urged the guards.
The two guards exchanged a glance, hesitating. "Madam, this... this is not the proper place for men and women to touch each other. What's more... the one who fell into the water was the Third Young Master's unmarried wife."
Mrs. Sun urged again, "Don't dawdle, Yanshu doesn't know how to swim... Hurry up and save him!"
Damn! This is going to ruin Sister Qiao’s reputation.
Jiang Miaomiao thought to herself that this was not good.
He stood up and leaned close to Xier's ear, "Push that woman down."
"Yes, girl, sit still and don't move." Xier pushed her to sit down, and then she flashed behind the crowd and kicked her with a shadowless kick.
"thump……"
“Plop… plop…”
