Chapter 163 Falling into the water
Miss Lu San's pretty face turned red and blue with anger, and her whole body was trembling.
Just because she could tolerate Chu Jingqi didn't mean that she would tolerate others.
Just as she was about to get angry, she heard Xia Zihan say again, "What happened just now was my fault, I'm sorry."
Although Xun said she was apologizing, there was no look of apology on her face at all. However, she was wearing a veil, so even if she was not sincere, others could not see it.
"I saw a snake just now. The snake was chasing me. I was so scared that I ran as hard as I could. I didn't see anyone in front of me and bumped into it. I didn't expect Miss Lu San to be so careless and fall down with just a light touch. .”
"Are you okay? How about I send someone to take you to the hospital?" If you bump into someone, you have to give them an explanation. She is easy to talk to.
Is this still good to talk about?
Is this an apology or an insult?
Miss Lu San is so angry.
It can be seen that Chu Jingqi is watching eagerly from the side. No matter how angry she is, she has to endure it and say, "I'm fine."
I just want to eat this bitch.
Damn it, her hands were in so much pain that they were almost bruised. Fortunately, there was a thick layer of leaves on the ground, otherwise they would have been dripping with blood.
"It's okay." Xia Zihan smiled.
The group of little girls opposite had already changed their faces with fear after hearing that there were snakes here. They looked nervously at their feet, raised their feet and moved uneasily, for fear that they would suddenly jump out from under the thick leaves under their feet. A snake came and bit them.
Miss Lu San was also scared. She wanted to look under her feet, but she resisted.
She frowned slightly, as if she was holding back the pain, but she forced a smile and looked at Chu Jingqi, "It's Prince Chu, I guess. I'm from Duke Lu's palace, ranking third." She formally introduced herself to Chu Jingqi.
"The last time I met Duke Chu at Yunzhou Station, what happened last time was all my second brother's fault. I apologize to Duke Chu on behalf of my second brother."
Then he paused, felt coyly, and then said with a blush, "Originally, I wanted to go to Duke An's mansion to visit Duke Chu in person and apologize to Duke Chu, but Duke Chu has been too busy recently, so I asked Prince Chu to tell Duke Chu for me."< br>
In front of his son, he blushes when he mentions his father. What does this mean?
Xia Zihan couldn't help but roll his eyes and looked down upon Miss Lu San.
Chu Jingqi acted as if she didn't hear anything, turned to Xia Zihan and said, "Let's go."
Then with a cold face, he passed Miss Lu San and walked up the mountain.
Xia Zihan hurriedly caught up.
Shengdi, Chu Fei and Chu Lin also hurriedly followed.
When everyone's eyes fell on Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi, Chu Fei and Chu Lin quickly took out their handkerchiefs to cover their faces.
They are Xia Zihan's personal maids. In this circle, they will be seen whenever anyone holds a banquet or something. If someone recognizes them, wouldn't that expose the mistress?
The young master was hugged by Chu Jingqi in public. This hornet's nest cannot be popped by anyone.
Therefore, Chu Lin and Chu Fei cleverly covered their faces at the first opportunity. When Chu Jingxiu and the others saw that Xia Zihan would not take off her veil, they wanted to identify Xia Zihan's maid.
Only then did I realize that the maid’s face was also covered.
The master is ugly, so even if he covers his face, why does the maid also cover her face?
By the time Chu Jingxiu realized that he had been tricked by Xia Zihan, Xia Zihan and his group had already disappeared.
Chu Jingxiu was so angry.
Chu Jingqi is a nervous girl, which is Chu Jingqi's weakness. She actually let her run away like this, how could she not be angry.
It was her fault that Chu Jingxiu was angry. Xia Zihan didn't care what she thought at all. She and Chu Jingqi walked up to the top of the mountain in one breath. Looking up, they saw a large maple tree in front of their eyes. A gust of wind blew by and the leaves rustled. Falling from the sky like rain.
Xia Zihan stretched out her hand and caught a maple leaf. The leaf was red in color and as thin as cicada feathers. She held it up against the sunlight and carefully observed the bone pattern of the maple leaf.
Chu Jingqi approached her and said, "Half of the maple leaves have fallen this season, and the only thing I can appreciate is the maple leaf rain." He also promised her, "I will take you to play early next year. The maple leaves all over the mountain are fiery red, and the stands are densely packed." You can’t even see the sky under the trees, the scenery is better than this.”
"A word is settled."
"Well, I will never break my promise." He nodded.
Xia Zihan handed the maple leaf to Chu Fei, "Take it back to Qi Mei and ask her to tell the embroiderer in the shop to embroider a cloak full of golden maple leaves for me."
Chu Fei hurriedly took it and knelt down to see a few intact ones. "Then slave, take a few more leaves back. I'll look at the shape of these leaves and embroider a few on the hem of the skirt."
As he said that, he picked up several more maple leaves.
After visiting the Maple Garden, a few people went to the Lotus Garden.
The most attractive thing in the lotus garden is a huge lake with thousands of acres of lotus roots. The lake is full of lotus roots. At this time, the lake has long lost the spring scenery, and there are not many lotus leaves on the river. The lotus leaves are picked. The boat was smashed into pieces, and it was a mess. There were still a few small and inconspicuous lotus pods standing in the lake.
The scenery in the lake is not that good, but the scenery in other places with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, water pavilions, rockeries and boulders is not bad. A group of people walked around and were taken to a pavilion by the lake to rest by Chu Jingqi.
There was a round stone table and four round stone stools in the middle of the pavilion. When Xia Zihan was tired from walking, he walked over and sat down.
"It's cold on the stone bench, take my cloak to cushion it first." Prince Chu took off his cloak and put it on the stone bench before letting her sit down.
"Then put this on." Xia Zihan was worried that he would be cold wearing only the outer robe, so she took off the cloak and put it on him.
Although Chu Jingqi is young, he has been practicing martial arts since he was three years old. He is not afraid of the cold at all. Not to mention that he wears a cotton coat, even if he wears a single coat, he will not get cold.
He hurriedly stopped her, "I'm not cold, so you put it on. You're a girl, you can't be cold, you can't be cold, otherwise it's easy to get the root of the disease."
Xia Zihan felt warm in her heart, and she followed his kindness. She looked at the lake and said with some regret, "It would be great if we came in June. Thousands of acres of lakes are filled with lotus flowers, and the breathtaking scenery is so beautiful." Just thinking about it makes people feel relaxed and happy.”
"Look, I will accompany you next year. I will accompany you to see the lotus flowers, and I will also accompany you to enjoy the flowers blooming, the maple leaves, and the lotus pods. As long as you say a word, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman." Seeing the longing look on her face, Chu Jingqi Somewhat sad.
His mother once told him that women are different from men. Men can freely travel far and wide at any time, but women cannot. Women can only stay in the small world in the inner courtyard for the rest of their lives.
Some women only go out once in their lives on their wedding day. Just like the Queen Mother, they can only stay in the palace and cannot go anywhere.
It can be imagined that the world in which women can move is very small and narrow. In their entire lives, to be honest, they only eat, sleep, or dress up and wait for their husbands to come.
Loneliness, boredom, loneliness, follow them like a shadow, so that they have to find something to kill time. In the inner courtyard, there are only women besides women. This is why the inner courtyard has become a battlefield for women. Because they can't leave the inner courtyard and escape the lonely life.
And his mother was able to travel around the world so leisurely every year and play all over the world, all because of his father. His mother was the only woman around his father, so that his mother would not stay in the inner courtyard all day like other women. He fights with his concubines and aunts and deceives each other.
His father would also take his mother on an excuse to go sightseeing and let her see more.
But among men, how many are like his father?
His uncle likes to go out and play with friends, while his aunt has to serve her parents-in-law and children at home, and she also has to fight with a large group of aunts and concubines at home who have nothing to do to cause trouble for her.
Days like that...
Chu Jingqi stared at Xia Zihan with an extremely serious look in her eyes.
His mother once worriedly told him that Song Huai was a hypocrite who loved vanity and sweet words, and was not worthy of Ayu's lifelong trust.
He didn't want Ayu to live like that when she grew up, living a lonely and boring life, waiting at home for her husband who had many women to come to her occasionally.
For Ayu's good and Ayu's happiness, he didn't mind snatching Ayu back from Song Huai.
Ahem...
Of course, this was just a small plan on his part, and he didn't dare to reveal his flaws.
Xia Zihan didn't know what Chu Jingqi was thinking at this moment. After hearing that he promised so much, she said with a smile, "Wait until you do it. I don't want to be full of expectations and wait for a few months, only to be disappointed in the end."
"Don't worry, I will do what I say." He said extremely seriously.
"Okay, I believe you for the time being." She said it as if she didn't believe him, but she actually believed it in her heart.
Chu Jingqi didn't care whether she believed it or not, he would do it anyway.
Chu Lin didn't eat much in the morning. Now she was hungry. She remembered that there seemed to be several stalls selling snacks at the gate of Fenglin Garden. She said to Xia Zihan, "County Master, when we entered the garden, I saw you There is a roasted sweet potato vendor at the gate of the garden. How about I buy some for the county master?”
In fact, she wanted to eat it.
Xia Zihan was also a little hungry, so he nodded and agreed.
Chu Fei and Chu Lin went together.
Shengdi stamped his feet and simply followed.
Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan were chatting one thing or another. After a while, Xia Zihan seemed to vaguely hear someone shouting for help.
"Did you hear that?" she asked Chu Jingqi.
"It's in the lake." Chu Jingqi also heard it, and Xia Zihan pulled him up, "Let's go to the bridge and have a look."
There is a stone bridge outside the pavilion, spanning the lake.
But Chu Jingqi dragged Xia Zihan, "There are guards from the imperial court in the garden. Even if someone falls into the lake, someone will go down to save them. We'd better not join in the fun."
He doesn't want to go.
Judging from the voice, the other party should be a woman. The woman fell into the water. When he went to see it, it didn't seem safe.
