It's melon season, and some women are throwing melons onto the carriage. Several nearly hit Su Chen on the head. Luckily, a villain drew his sword and intervened, preventing further injury.
"Gentlemen, have you ever heard of the assassin Wei Jie?" Su Chen looked at the two men, who were as beautiful as pearls and jade, with a complicated expression.
The two looked at each other and then shook their heads.
A hint of amusement flashed in Su Chen's eyes. "There was a handsome man named Wei Jie in ancient times. He was frail and sickly but very talented. One day, when he went out, girls from all around gathered around his carriage to watch him, and they ended up staring at him until he died."
"You've seen him dead?" Yuefeng frowned. "This man's body is far too weak."
Su Chen chuckled, "After all, it's just unofficial history, so it's hard to tell if it's true or false."
“I have a feeling it’s true.” Xuan Yu said thoughtfully, “If a person has a deficiency from birth, the more severe the condition, the more emotional distress they experience, and the more serious the illness will be.”
Su Chen nodded in agreement, "Yes, but he probably won't die immediately. If he kicks the bucket that quickly, it's probably a cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease."
"Thanks to you two, I'm in for a treat today." Su Chen wiped the unbroken melon on the cart with her sleeve, took a crunchy bite, and said, "Not bad, very sweet."
Su Chen took a few bites before asking, "Do you two wish to enjoy the scenery or compose poems?"
"Either is fine." Xuan Yu opened her folding fan, appearing easygoing.
Yuefeng, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, presumably because he listened to his master.
Su Chen curled her lips. If it were about composing poems and writing essays, there would definitely be many women. If they were to find a bunch of bad suitors for these two, even if she had a thousand hands, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
I imagine that traveling and sightseeing is more cost-effective, as it doesn't cost money and there aren't many people.
Su Chen immediately ordered the coachman to go to Yuejiang on the outskirts of the city.
The name Yuejiang (Moon River) originated from a moonlit night. When the first ruler of Dongqiu Kingdom arrived at this river, it was the full moon of the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The bright moon reflected in the river inspired him to compose a poem entitled "Bright Moon," and thus the river was named Yuejiang.
Su Chen: "There's a boat here called 'Unmoored Boat,' and it's the perfect place to drink and admire the moon at night."
"Unmoored boat?" Yuefeng asked, somewhat puzzled. "Does it mean letting the boat drift on the river, wherever it ends up?"
"No, no, no, the unmoored boat is welded to the riverbank; it's a stone boat, just shaped like a boat and somewhat resembling a pavilion." Su Chen pointed to the bird-like eaves in the distance. "Look, that's it."
Yuefeng smiled slightly and said, "There's someone here."
"Anyone here? Aren't they all at work?" Su Chen took a closer look at the Unmoored Boat, where several figures could be vaguely seen.
"Going to work?" Yuefeng asked doubtfully. He knew that Su Chen would often use these unusual words, but he always assumed they were just colloquialisms from Dongqiu Kingdom and didn't pay them any mind.
Su Chen quickly corrected herself, "It's just work."
Su Chen avoided Yue Feng's somewhat probing gaze and quickly said, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask."
"No." Yuefeng reached out to stop her. "Your injuries are not fully healed yet, it's not advisable for you to travel too much." After saying that, he jumped off the car and used his light-footed skill to "fly" away.
When Su Chen regained her senses, everyone else had already arrived at the Unmoored Boat.
"Tsk tsk tsk, that lightness skill..." I can't even compare.
“Feng has been like this since he was a child.” Xuan Yu’s eyes were filled with torment.
Alarm bells rang in Su Chen's mind: Wind? Why is this word so ambiguous? From childhood? Is it implying that the two of them are childhood sweethearts?
No! She doesn't want to be wary of both women and men!
