Chapter 196 Rewarding the Lotus in June
Although the doctor of the Dafeng Dynasty was not a lowly family, his social status was not high. Tao was a married woman, with a husband and a third-rank lady. She knelt down to the doctor and gave him a noble character, but this shows her kind motherly heart.
"Madam, please get up quickly. This is what I should do as a doctor." The doctor Xu Fu said.
"Mother, get up quickly and let the doctor show Brother Cheng's injuries." Chen Danxia went forward to support Tao.
After the doctor examined Cheng Yu, he confirmed that he was really scary, but actually had skin and flesh. After the doctor cleaned him up with good medicine, Miao was calm and asked, "What happened? How could it be like this?"
Cheng Qi lowered his head and said nothing, showing a shame. Miao's heart tightened, "Cheng Qi, did you cause trouble and implicate Brother Yu?"
Cheng Yu knelt down, as if he had made accusation.
"You evil devil." Miao rushed over angrily to hit him. Tao Jie was slowing down and didn't stop him. With a "splash", Cheng Qi was slapped in the face.
At this time, Li Yunqian, who had been silent, said, "Mrs. Cheng, it's not my fault for Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng was hurt by someone in order to save me."
Miao stopped beating people and looked at Li Yunqian, "What did you say?"
"Cheng Yu, what's going on?" Xu Lang said calmly.
The matter was very simple. Li Yunqian was used to being in the borderland. When she returned to Jindu, she lived in her cousin Dingguo Marquis' Mansion. She was very restricted and always wanted to go out. Today, she went to the moat with her cousin's family to watch the dragon boat race. She boldly threw away her family and servants and wandered on the street. She was stared at by someone. Seeing the injustice on the road, Cheng Yu helped her. Shen Baiyu was afraid that Cheng Yu would suffer losses, so she stepped forward to help, but was broken by the group of people.
"Do you know who the perpetrator is?" Xu Lang asked.
"It's Cai Can." Cheng Xi and Li Yunqian said in unison. They didn't know Cai Can, but Shen Baiyu knew him.
Xu Lang, Shen Bomi and Shen Danxia suddenly realized that new hatreds and old hatreds were not surprisingly so cruel. The Tao sent someone to send Li Yunqian back to the Marquis of Dingguo and carried Shen Boyu, who was still unconscious, home.
The Cai family offended the three families this time, and the Chen Cheng family may not be afraid, but the Dingbian Marquis Mansion and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion are not easy to bully. Cai Can acted boldly and dared to force the daughters on the street. It's hateful! It's hateful! The Chen Cheng family collected evidence of Cai Can's crime of committing evil, and the Dingbian Marquis Mansion and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion jointly wrote a letter asking the emperor to severely punish the Cai family.
The true love of the emperor was Zhao Empress Zhao. Lipin was just a tool to vent her desires and spread her branches and leaves due to the rules of her ancestors. Although she was a bit beautiful and had a third prince, she could not let the emperor show favor. So Lipin was demoted to three levels in a row and became a beautiful woman. She was even lower than that of Jiang Guiren who gave birth to the third princess, and became the lowest-ranking person in the harem. Cai Can's father and two uncles were implicated and became idle positions; Cai Can was punished severely according to the law and sentenced to the exile. The place of exile was not far from the city of Oduo where the Marquis of Dingbian was stationed.
More than half a month later, the third prince Gao Ge fell from the tree to catch the birds in the tree and broke his legs. The imperial doctor picked up the bones for him, and his right leg was still shorter, completely vanishing the possibility of him fighting for the throne. Although the emperor felt that the four palaces were not able to reach his hand into the palace, the imperial guards still secretly checked and confirmed that it was an accident, so he gave up.
When Zhao Hou and Gao Ju heard about this, they were exactly the same, and they snorted coldly, "It's a good deal." It goes without saying who he pointed to. As for whether the two of them had tampered with each other, the Imperial Guards did not find out, that's not the case.
After knowing the fate of the Cai family and Cai Can, Chen Danxia no longer paid attention to this matter. At the end of May, the wife of Dingbian Marquis Cao rushed back to Jindu City from the border. After two days of rest, he sent invitations to the Shen family and Cheng family's mother-in-law and mother-in-law of the Cheng family. On the tenth of June, he went to Hulutang to enjoy the flowers. The Hulutang looked like its name, and the pond was full of lotus flowers. Every summer when lotus flowers bloom, layers of lotus flowers bloomed, and there were several lotus picking boats in the pond. Visitors could take a boat to pick lotus flowers and pick lotus seeds.
On the tenth day of June, the mother and daughter of the Shen family and the mother-in-law of the Cheng family arrived as promised. Cao was enthusiastic and polite to the two families. Tao and Miao were the main guests, Lu, the wife of Dingguo Marquis, Li, the wife of Yongning Marquis, Jin, and Wu, the wife of Changning Bo, were the guests; Lu brought his eldest son and daughter Wang, the daughter of the second son and the daughter of Li, Li, the daughter of Yan Suxin, Jin, the eldest son and daughter Wu, and Wu brought his daughter Zhang Muer, and formed a large table of people.
Wang, Little Lu, Wu and Tao Jie sat together to chat. Chen Danxia, Yan Suxin and Zhang Mu'er were pulled out by Li Yunqian to watch the lotus fishing. Li Yunqian looked at the boat on the water and was ready to move, "Let's row the boat and pick lotus."
Zhang Wuer is also a naughty person, and immediately agreed, "Okay, okay."
Chen Danxia looked at the lotus picking girl on the lotus picking boat, lowered her head and looked at the light green long skirt she was wearing, and remembered Wang Changling's "Lotus Picking Song", "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in color, and the lotus blooms to both sides of her face. She can't see it when she heard the song. When she heard the song, she felt fascinated by the lotus picking.
Three to one, not to mention that Yan Suxin was young and could not withstand instigation. The four of them asked for four boats and could enjoy Shen Danxia, saying, "Let them take fishing rods, bring some food and drinks, and raft the pond, and eat while fishing and enjoying lotus flowers. That's fun."
Zhang Wu'er stroking her hands, "Extremely yes."
"As Miss Chen said, go ahead." Li Yunqian, the host, should meet the customer's requirements.
When the servants came over with four food boxes and four pots of tea, the four girls each took a maid on the boat and agreed to go back to the starting point in half an hour to meet up to see who picked a special lotus? Who caught many fish? Chen Danxia sat at the bow of the boat, and Moshu was behind and rowing the oar.
Shaking to an empty place, Chen Danxia asked Mo Si to stop the boat, pick up the fishing rod and put on the bait, throw the fishing line into the pond and fish, hold the fishing rod, wait for about five or six minutes, but the fish still did not take the hook. Chen Danxia lost patience and put the fishing rod on the wooden rack. She brought the food box and tea to drink tea and eat pastries.
Tea is tea, with rich fragrance, sweet and freshness, clear water, tender green leaves. There are four kinds of pastries: lotus leaf cake, peanut mochi, walnut cake and thousand-layer sweet cake. The portion is not large, four pieces each. Chen Danxia ate one piece, drank two cups of tea, and satisfiedly went to the wooden rack to get a fishing rod, but the fish still didn't get hooked.
Chen Danxia pouted and said, "Mo Shi, shake it over there, there is no fish here."
"Girl, no, if you pass this hurdle, the water over there will be deeper than the water here. If you fall into the water, it will not be a joke." Mo Si said hurriedly.
Chen Danxia is a good boy who is willing to listen to others' advice, so he said, "Then don't get over the hurdles, walk along here, and find a place with a lot of fish."
"Okay." Mo Si said.
The boat shook and moved forward, as horizontal as a mirror, Chen Danxia picked up the oar, "Don't miss it, I'll row, you can rest."
"Oh." Mo Shi put down the oar and sat on the wooden stele.
Chen Danxia took the oar and took a row on the left and right, and sang randomly: "We rowed the boat, and the colorful red diamonds and picked the red diamonds. We have the love of the man and the sisters have the heart, just like two horned diamonds, and we have the same heart on the same day. We have the same heart. We rowed the boat, picking the red diamonds and picking the red diamonds, and the sisters have the heart, and the sisters have the heart..."
Under the willow tree in front, someone was fishing with a fishing rod. Chen Danxia looked closely and said, hahaha, it was no one else, it was the man who raised his lips and asked with a smile: "Is it lonely for the young man in front to sit alone and fish?"
When Xu Lang heard the sound, he raised his eyes and looked over. He saw that it was Chen Danxia, "Sitting alone on Diaoyutai, waiting for the beauty to come."
"I wonder which beauty you are waiting for?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.
"The beauty's surname is Chen and her name is Danxia. I wonder if the girl can recognize her?" Xu Lang put down the fishing rod and asked with a bow.
"I recognize her, I know her very well." Chen Danxia said seriously. Mo Shi covered his mouth and sneered. The two masters were so funny.
"Can the girl tell her that I'll wait for her here and invite her here for a while?" Xu Lang asked.
"With a great beauty like me in front of you, why do you have to wait for others? The young man is on the boat and go wandering with me." Chen Danxia waved with a smile.
"Although I am not a gentleman, I will not be fascinated by beauty and give up the beauty I have been waiting for for a long time." Xu Lang said seriously.
Chen Danxia couldn't continue acting anymore, and held the oar and said coquettishly: "Can you come up?"
Xu Lang lifted up the hem of his clothes, and smiled slightly with his lips, "I dare not ask for my ears, I am sure I wish."
So Mo Shi got off the boat, Xu Lang got on the boat, Shen Danxia handed the fishing rod to Mo Shi, and said with a smile: "Mo Shi, catch more fish and come to pick you up later."
Mo Shi sat in the position where Xu Langgang was, holding a fishing rod in each hand.
Xu Lang waved the boat far away and stopped in a secluded and shaded place. The two sat side by side in the boat and spoke.
"Brother Lang, aren't you going to be a job today?" Chen Danxia asked. Xu Lang was promoted to deputy envoy from the fifth-rank Imperial Guard half a month ago. The great men of the Imperial Guard were dissatisfied with him, a young boy, and he has been busy trying to conquer them for half a month.
"Mr. Cui treats her," Xu Lang explained. If he had not been on duty, he would have gone to the Shen family to find her. He hadn't seen her for half a month, and he was desperately thinking.
Chen Danxia's eyes were bright, "Brother Lang has already conquered them."
Xu Lang said calmly: "Mr. Cui's eldest daughter is at the end of the year and at the end of the year." Mr. Cui was the chief envoy of the Imperial Guard.
Chen Danxia turned his head and looked at him, "I want to promise her to you."
"Miss Cui is drinking tea and chatting in the stone pavilion." Xu Lang used a trick to escape and brought Miss Cui and another deputy envoy of the Imperial Guard.
Chen Danxia looked up at the sky and said, "It's a pity that it's daytime now, so they can't look at the stars and the moon, from poetry, songs and essays to philosophy of life."
Xu Lang raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "What is this allusion?"
Chen Danxia laughed, without explaining, and asked in a soft voice: "Brother Lang, we will look for one night to see the stars and the moon, from poetry, songs and essays to philosophy of life, okay?"
"Okay." Xu Lang agreed readily, let alone looking at the stars and the moon, if possible, it would be enough to help her pick the stars and the moon.
Chen Danxia washed his hands with tea, picked up a piece of peanut and mochi for him to eat, "Reward you."
Xu Lang chewed mochi and asked vaguely: "Can you reward something else?"
Chen Danxia's bright eyes flowed, "What kind of reward do you want?"
Xu Lang swallowed the mochi and leaned into her ear and said, "I want to kiss."
Chen Danxia's face turned slightly red, "It's in public, don't act like a hooligan."
"Is it enough not to be in public?" Xu Lang asked expectantly.
Chen Danxia reached out and pushed his head away, "This topic can be over."
Seeing her fair little face flushed and pink, Xu Lang was afraid that she would become angry and did not continue to tease her. He changed the topic with kindness, "The Xiangqing Hou Mansion is going to marry the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia County."
"Is there a girl who is suitable for marriage in the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia?" Chen Danxia asked with a frown.
"There is a girl who is suitable for marriage in the Xiangqing Marquis' Mansion." Xu Lang curled up a thread of her head hanging on her shoulders and said.
Chen Dan thought for a while and said, "The only girl in Xiangqing Marquis' Mansion is about to reach the hairpin is the second girl Zhao Xiangzhi, but she is a concubine, and the Prince of Jiangxia County has no concubine that matches her... She is to be given to Xu Xian's prince."
"That's right." Xu Lang nodded.
"I remember that the prince of Jiangxia is the original legitimate son." Chen Danxia's eyes flashed, "This marriage was proposed by Jiangxia."
"Jiu'er is extremely intelligent." Xu Lang said with a smile.
"It's not difficult to guess. The princess of Jiangxia County is not the prince's biological mother. She wishes she could get rid of him so that her son would replace him. She would never let the prince marry a wife with the highest family. But if the prince wants to fight with her and keep his position, he must rely on the power of his wife. The Xiangqing Marquis Mansion has an empress and two princes as his backing. If he can make this family, it will be beneficial to the prince without any harm, so he naturally doesn't mind that Zhao Xiangzhi is a concubine." Chen Danxia analyzed.
"It hit the nail on the head." Xu Lang agreed.
The two chatted around for more than a moment. Xu Lang shook the boat out and shook Mo Si who had caught most of the fish. Xu Lang got off the boat, Mo Si took the bucket onto the boat, and Chen Danxia smiled and waved his hand to leave.
"Girl, I haven't picked lotus yet." Mo Si reminded Chen Danxia, who was lying on the side of the boat and stretching out his hand to play with water.
Chen Danxia then started looking for lotus flowers, and soon saw a half-bloomed red lotus growing from the middle of the green lotus leaves. "Mo Shi, that red lotus is good, shake the boat over."
Don’t let your actions behave according to your words.
Chen Danxia stretched out his hand to pick the red lotus, put it beside him, and looked up and saw a thousand-petal lotus mixed between several red lotus. The petals of the thousand-petal petals were stacked, from large to small, the closer they were, the denser they became. The one with double flower hearts on the outside was commonly known as the lemon lotus, the third flower heart was the lemon lotus, the fourth flower heart was the four-sided lotus, and the more flower hearts were the hydrangea lotus. The flower saw Chen Danxia had two flower hearts, that is, the lemon lotus.
With this tandem lotus, Chen Danxia didn't want to pick anything else, so he asked Mo Si to shake the boat back to the starting point. Yan Suxin had returned. There were only four or five fish in the bucket. The lotus was a single petal in complex color, but the petals were huge and the shape was like a flying rainbow.
Yan Suxin looked at the bidilian in Chen Danxia's hand and said, "I lost, I'm afraid I'm going to be at the bottom today."
"If you lose, you will definitely lose, and it may not be at the bottom." Chen Danxia said with a smile.
At this time, Zhang Mu'er and Li Yunqian arrived one after another. Zhang Mu'er did not catch fish, so he picked a pink lotus. Li Yunqian caught a bucket of fish, and had no time to choose flowers, so he picked a white lotus casually. After comparing with the four, Shen Danxia naturally won.
