Chapter 707 Zuo Junmo smiled (third update)
Watching a dragon boat? She doesn't have that leisurely mood!
Seeing this, Old Uncle Geng quickly advised: "It's a festival, let's go over and have some fun."
"When I came, the old lady gave me many instructions, telling me that I must do it. I’ll pick you up!”
“If you don’t go, it won’t be easy for me to do business...”
Old Uncle Geng then turned his attention to Sun and Yang Huazhou beside him for help.
"Qing'er Niang and Fifth Uncle can help persuade me. Mrs. Zuo likes Miss Yang very much and wants to invite her to see her..."
Sun then said to Yang Ruoqing: " Since everyone has come all the way to pick her up, you can go.”
It’s good for my daughter to go out and relax.
Tang Yazi had just joined the army, and her daughter must have felt worse than everyone else.
After all, the two children always go in and out as a pair, no matter where they go.
For the past two days, my daughter didn't say anything, and she even comforted them, the elderly.
This is a girl who is sensible but also strong.
Go out to relax and watch the dragon boat racing, maybe you will feel better.
"Don't worry about things at home, just go out and have fun for two days." Ms. Sun advised again.
On the side, Yang Huazhou also said quickly: "Qing'er, just go. I'm at the restaurant!"
Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
< br>......
When the carriage drove into Zuojiazhuang, it was already time to turn on the lanterns.
When coming from the big river in front of the village, Yang Ruoqing looked through the car window and saw red lanterns hanging on the willow trees on both sides of the river.
The red lantern has the word "Left" written in big black ink on it.
The lanterns reflect the river water, which is bright.
A long dragon boat docked by the river.
Just like a moon ship.
Under the cover of moonlight, it gives people a dreamlike feeling.
When the carriage passed near Old Uncle Geng's house but did not stop, Yang Ruoqing was surprised.
"Old Uncle Geng, don't I live in your house?" she asked directly.
Old Uncle Geng turned to her and smiled: "The owner of the village has already arranged the house!"
That's it...
Yang Ruoqing didn't ask any more questions. I didn’t think much about it.
It is normal for the guests invited by Madam Zuo to have accommodation arranged by Master Zuo.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the door of Zuo’s yard.
As soon as she jumped out of the carriage, she saw a tall and straight figure standing under the red lantern at the entrance of the courtyard.
Zuo Junmo?
He is standing here, could he be greeting her?
Yang Ruoqing thought to herself, just as she was about to say hello to him, Zuo Junmo had already seen her.
A sincere smile appeared on his face.
He walked towards her.
"Have you had a hard time along the way?" He asked her with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing also smiled and shook her head: "The carriage is very comfortable and not hard."
"That's good, please come in quickly!"
Zuo Junmo said, turning aside to let her go first.
Yang Ruoqing didn't show any pretense, she nodded lightly to him, walked into the courtyard and walked towards the front hall.
Behind him, Zuo Junmo dismissed old Uncle Geng and the coachman, and chased after him. The two of them entered the main room together.
In the main room, the lights are brightly lit.
"Miss Yang, sit down." Zuo Junmo greeted with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing nodded and did not sit down in a hurry, but said: "Has the old lady rested?"
"She specially sent someone to pick me up to watch the dragon boat race. I Now that we’re here, it’s time to say hello to her,” she said.
This is a matter of politeness.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, the smile on Zuo Junmo's face hesitated slightly.
Then he said: "My mother is tired during the day, and I'm afraid she will have to rest now. It will be the same if you go to see her tomorrow."
After hearing this, Yang Ruoqing couldn't say anything else.
He sat down. She was hungry when she saw the melon seed snacks on the table.
Sitting in a carriage for an afternoon was very energy-consuming.
And at this point in time, I stayed at home, had already eaten dinner, and was ready to wash up and go to bed.
At this time, Zuo Junmo ordered the servant next to him: "Quickly go and bring the food."
Yang Ruoqing took a few sips of hot tea, and the hot food was served. in front of her.
A bowl of steamed pork ribs with reed leaf powder.
A bowl of braised crucian carp.
A bowl of lotus root and meatball soup.
Then, there are a few bowls of refreshing garden vegetables.
The crispy white rice exudes an alluring aroma.
Although it is a simple meal, there is a sense of reality in the simplicity and low-keyness.
Just like how Zuo Junmo made her feel.
"Are you hungry? Don't be rigid, just eat more of what you like."
Zuo Junmo's gentle voice brought her back from her thoughts.
She raised her eyes and saw a pair of dishes and chopsticks placed in front of him.
"Why, Master Zuo, you haven't had dinner yet?" she asked.
Zuo Junmo was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "I was delayed because of something I had to do earlier. Come, eat while it's hot!"
"Okay!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled brightly, raised her chopsticks, forked a piece of steamed pork ribs and ate it with relish.
Looking at the girl in front of her, she was eating boldly and casually.
Zuo Junmo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Bold yet elegant.
Casual but not disregarding image.
Elegant and not pretentious at all.
Compared with those girls who can only pretend to be reserved and polite, who can clearly eat two big bowls of rice, but still want to behave like a golden cat, this Yang Ruoqing in front of me is really annoying It feels much more comfortable.
"How does it taste?"
Looking at her relish, Zuo Junmo couldn't help but ask.
Yang Ruoqing took some time out of her busy schedule to give him a thumbs up.
Zuo Junmo smiled.
My mood suddenly became happy, as if I was infected, I also buried my head in eating.
Well, the dishes I usually eat seem to taste really good tonight!
……
backyard.
In Mrs. Zuo’s house.
A girl wearing a pink gauze skirt was sitting beside the bed. She clenched her fists and was obediently helping Mrs. Zuo lower her legs.
Mrs. Zuo was wearing single clothes for sleeping, sitting on the bed, squinting her eyes and enjoying the service.
The girl beat her legs and said, "Aunt, my cousin also wants to represent our Zuojiazhuang in the dragon boat race tomorrow, right?"
Mrs. Zuo squinted her eyes and nodded: "In previous years, he only led the craftsmen to make dragon boats and arranged for the young men in the village to participate in the competition."
"I don't know what's going on this year, but I have to go into battle myself. Haha..."
Hearing that Zuo Junmo was going to fight in person, a trace of yearning and obsession flashed through the girl's pretty almond-shaped eyes.
"In the past years, other villages have won the first place. This year, my cousin is participating in the battle in person. Our Zuojiazhuang will definitely take the first place!" she said.
After hearing what the girl said, Mrs. Zuo was in a good mood.
He raised his hand and patted the girl's arm: "Chun'er, let me lend you some good words."
"The next two days are dragon boat races, so don't rush back to the county town, just stay Wait in the village after watching the dragon boat race and then go back!"
When Zuo Yingchun heard Mrs. Zuo's words, she was secretly happy.
Hurry up and say: "Okay, okay, Chun'er has long wanted to see my cousin racing dragon boats. Thank you aunt for the invitation. Chun'er has been dreaming of it!"
