Chapter 36 Meeting in the Lake
Today is the half-year festival, and there are many people going out to the market and visiting relatives. People come and go on the road, and cars come and go, which is quite lively.
Because it was not in a hurry, it was not convenient to ride a horse on a crowded road. Yan Liqiang and Qian Su were like walking, riding a rhino dragon horse while chatting. It took almost two hours before they arrived at Lujiazhuang from the craftsman camp.
Today's Lujiazhuang is indeed more lively than more than a month ago. On the way to Lujiazhuang, early in the morning, there were several times more pedestrians than before. It seemed that people from all over the countryside were rushing towards Lujiazhuang.
Those who were heading towards Lujiazhuang were all happy to support the elderly and young, either on ox carts, horse carts, five or six people, or dozens of people.
Some people are driving the bus, there are spaces on the bus, and they can also take people. Many people invite those walking on the road to get on the bus and walk with them.
Some young men, some riding horses, and some walking on the road, were very interested.
There were also some young women sitting in groups of flowers decorated with flowers, each wearing bright colorful skirts and beautiful hairy hair on their heads, dressing themselves up in a colorful way and walking along the road with everyone.
The women were chattering, the men were laughing, and the young men and women looked at each other, sometimes they were funny and asked each other where the towns and towns you lived, and who I knew, whom I knew, and if you knew, the men invited the women to go together. When the women agreed, the group of people walked together, which became even more lively. Those who couldn't talk, went their own way and did not affect each other.
This scene made Yan Liqiang very interesting. Shopping in his previous life was a very ordinary thing, but the atmosphere of shopping in his previous life was not as warm and festive as before. Even during festivals, the shopping malls on the street tried their best to create a festive and joyful atmosphere, but people were still full of distance, a little cold, not as festive and enthusiastic as before.
The smiles and joyfulness on the faces of strangers I saw along the way also infected Yan Liqiang.
Seeing Yan Liqiang riding on the tall rhino dragon horse, he was young and handsome, with extraordinary temperament, he attracted many young women to pay attention along the way.
"Uncle Qian, why is this Lujiazhuang so lively today?"
Yan Liqiang asked Qian Su and found that Qian Su was not saying anything. He turned his head and saw that Qian Su was staring at a woman on the ox cart in front of him. The woman was in her thirties and was wearing a red skirt. She was the age of Hua Xin. She was round and smooth, with plump breasts and buttocks, and she looked quite beautiful.
The woman also found Qian Su looking at her, and the two of them were browsing and showing feelings.
Yan Liqiang slowed down his voice, "Cough... Cough, Uncle Qian..."
"Ah, what, Liqiang, call me..." Qian Su reacted suddenly and turned to ask Yan Liqiang.
"It's better to come forward and ask, if there is still a person sitting on the ox cart, and I'll squeeze in with those women and women, I'll take this rhino dragon horse to Lujiazhuang!" Yan Liqiang narrowed his eyes and said in a narrow voice.
Qian Su's face turned red and he glared at Yan Liqiang, "I dare to tease my elders at such a young age!"
Yan Liqiang laughed...
...
When they arrived at a door outside Lujiazhuang, there was still a distance. Yan Liqiang saw the old acquaintance Lu Wenbin looking at this place at the door. He and Qian Su were riding on the Xilong horse, which was very eye-catching. When they saw Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin also saw them. When they rode the Xilong horse, Lu Wenbin walked towards the two of them with a bright and enthusiastic smile on his face.
Yan Liqiang and Qian Su also got off the Rhino Dragon Horse and handed over the reins of the Rhino Dragon Horse to the two Lu family Zhuang Dings who followed Lu Wenbin.
"Lu Wenbin has seen Qianyingjian and Young Master Yan!" Lu Wenbin bowed to the two of them. When he saw Yan Liqiang changing into clothes, his temperament immediately changed. Even Lu Wenbin couldn't help but look at Yan Liqiang for a few more times.
Yan Liqiang blinked at Lu Wenbin and smiled, "Manager Lu is polite!"
"Hahaha, Brother Penn is here? I made an appointment to gamble with Brother Penn today. I can't wait. Now, the sun has just come out, and it's a good time to fish..." Qian Su said while looking around.
"Brother Six is waiting by the lake for Qianying Supervisor!"
"Okay, go now, go now..." Qian Su said, then turned his head and said to Yan Liqiang, "The scenery of Lianhua Lake is beautiful, it is a scene in Huanglong County. You have not visited it yet, so you can go and have a look together. If you want to visit the Lujiazhuang market, you can wait until afternoon, and the afternoon is the most lively time."
"Yes, yes, yes, it was only lively when the opera troupes invited by Lujiazhuang officially started singing. If Mr. Yan wants to watch the opera, he can wait until the afternoon to go. The master has asked someone to leave a seat for Mr. Yan in the stands..." Manager Lu also said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go and see the scenery of Lianhua Lake that Uncle Qian mentioned!" Yan Liqiang nodded.
"Please follow me..."
The three people did not enter Lujiazhuang. Lu Wenbin directly took the two to the river outside the Lujiazhuang Fort wall and asked the two to board a small boat. After explaining to the boatman, the boatman shook the boat and rowed towards the distance.
There were two people sitting on the boat, and the boatman was full. The boat was extremely light and brisk in the river. In just a moment, the boat turned around the wall of Lujiazhuang in a small circle and landed in a beautiful lake with no sight at all.
The lake water was clear and you could see swimming fish sitting on the boat. Looking around, there were lotus leaves everywhere. Many frogs squatted in the Lotus Leaf Mountain, staring at the people on the boat with wide eyes, and jumped into the water when the boat approached.
It is midsummer, and it is the time when lotus flowers bloom. Lotus, either pink, white, or red, stand tall among the lotus leaves, and you can reach it with your hands. Looking around, it is so beautiful. The boat is sliding in it, just like sliding in a forest full of green. A breeze blows, the lotus leaves sway, and the nose is filled with the elegant fragrance of lotus flowers, which is really refreshing.
After a while, the boatman rowed the boat to a small island in the middle of the lake.
The island is facing water, and there is also a pavilion and a loft on the island. Some trees are planted, which is a good place to fish.
A man in his thirties with a solid, short and fat body, with a somewhat similar face to Mr. Lu. He had two beards on his lips, standing on a stone steps on the island, smiling as the boat approached.
"Hahaha, Brother Qian, you're finally here. Today we'll see who is so good. It's just the evening of stewing fish soup..." The man and Qian Su laughed with their arms, then looked at Yan Liqiang, and looked Yan Liqiang from head to toe, with a stronger smile in their eyes, "This is Mr. Yan, he is indeed a handsome talent!"
"Yan Liqiang has met Master Six!" Yan Liqiang bowed to the man.
The sixth master, named Lu Peien, is one of the sons of Mr. Lu, and ranks sixth in the family. Last time Yan Liqiang heard Lu Wenbin introduce the situation in Lujiazhuang, he heard about Lu Peien's name. The Lu family's many industries in Huanglong County were managed by this Lu Peien. This person can be called versatile and is one of the core figures of the Lu family.
Yan Liqiang didn't feel strange about Qian Su and Lu Peien's acquaintance, because the Zuixianglou that Qian Su often went to was one of the industries that this Liu Ye managed. Yan Liqiang wondered why this Liu Ye was so busy, so why did he have time to come here to gamble and spend time with Qian Su here today? Maybe the two of them had something to talk about, just like the bosses in their previous life liked to talk about business when playing golf.
"Liqiang, Brother Penn and I are fishing here. You are a young man. If you feel bored, you might as well take a boat to go around in this Lotus Lake. Just see you again when we have lunch!"
Hearing Qian Su say this, Yan Li forced him to sit here and stare at the two fishing rods without moving. That would be a pain.
After saying goodbye to Qian Su and Lu Peien, Yan Liqiang got on the boat again and asked the boatman to take him around the lake.
Seeing Yan Liqiang leave, Qian Su and Lu Peien looked at each other and smiled...
...
The golden beauty in the lake is so beautiful, Yan Liqiang is completely lingering in the lake...
"Ah, Mr. Yan, it's not good, this boat leaks..." Suddenly, the boatman with him shouted. Yan Liqiang looked down at him. Somehow, behind him, there was a hole as big as a wine glass on the bed under the boatman's feet. The lake water was gushing out from below.
Why does this ship have a hole?
"I know how to swim, it doesn't matter. Just row the boat back!" Yan Liqiang said calmly.
"There are two people on this boat, and the water leaks too quickly, I'm afraid I can't get back..."
"What should I do? Do you mean we all swim back?" Yan Liqiang looked at the boatman with a funny look. If that was the case, his outfit would be ruined today. He didn't feel sorry for the clothes, but he just thought this matter was a bit funny, but he didn't expect that he would encounter it.
"It's not necessary. Just change to another boat for Mr. Yan, I can row the boat back first..."
"Change a boat? Where did the boat come from?"
"Ah..." The boatman shouted exaggeratedly, just like the chefs of Stephen Chow's chefs at the beginning of "God of Cookery", "Young Master Yan, you see, it's a coincidence that a boat happened to come over there..." The fisherman pointed to the distance, and Yan Liqiang turned his head and happened to see a small boat slipping out of a lotus leaf.
On the boat, there was a boatman and a woman in a green skirt. When he looked over, the woman on the boat over there also looked at him and looked at Yan Liqiang with a strange look...
The boatman here greeted him, and the boat over there rowed over. The two boats joined in a lotus leaf. After the two boatmen stabilized the boat, Yan Liqiang changed the boat and sat on the new boat.
