Now that I met Ren Ke and the others, they naturally ate together.
So everyone discussed and decided on the menu, and then let the little guy run back quickly to inform the restaurant.
Only then did Man Bao go to see the lotus pods they bought.
Unlike their careful selection, the young masters who didn't go shopping directly bought a large handful, and generously distributed half of them to Bai Shan and the others.
This made the three of them who seemed reluctant just now quite embarrassed, so they took the initiative to ask all the servants to go to the boat over there, and Peng Zhiru and the others moved over to sit with them, which was much more convenient for chatting.
Daji was not worried about them at the moment, and the two boats were not far apart, so he, Changshou and others went to any of their boats.
Peng Zhiru and the others moved over, sitting in two pairs peeling lotus seeds to eat, he was more familiar with Lu Xiaofo and Bai Shanzhouman, so he asked, "How about studying in Chongwen Hall?"
Bai Shandao: "It's not bad, but I can see Kong Jijiu every day."
Peng Zhiru and the others put themselves in their shoes, a little envious, but also sympathetic to them.
The speed of the restaurant is not slow, and the food was delivered at noon. The young man was very clever, and he directly remembered the boatman's boat when he left, so when he came over with three big food boxes, he stood on tiptoe Looking into the lake on tiptoe, he quickly found someone.
The boatman was also very attentive, and they were familiar with the guys in these restaurants. As soon as he beckoned, the boatman shook the boat and passed.
Daji, Changshou and others jumped to the shore, carried the food box into the cabin, opened the food box, put the meals on the table one by one, and then retreated out.
The boat swayed faintly into the deep lake again, and the breeze blew again, and the water vapor was blown into the cabin. Even though the sun was scorching outside, they didn't feel the heat, they just felt very comfortable.
In particular, at this time, there are many tourists by the lake, and the shouts of street vendors come from high and low, which is more interesting than swimming in the lake in the palace.
Bai Shan looked at the shore quietly for a long time, and couldn't help sighing: "Isn't this the golden age?"
Man Bao and the others also turned their heads to see the shore, and couldn't help but smile, "It's much better than what the gentlemen said ten years ago."
You must know that when he ascended the throne, he was still in troubled times. Although the first emperor established the country for several years, at that time, all places had not completely settled down.
When he ascended the throne today, the barbarian commander in the north directly led his troops to the outside of the capital. In the end, it was His Majesty who drove out of the city to stop the fighting. However, there have been occasional wars in various places in the past ten years.
However, those were mostly unforeseen rebellions and border wars. For the people of the Central Plains, the past ten years have been peaceful and peaceful, and His Majesty has tried his best to lighten the corvee and pay lightly. At a glance, it can indeed be regarded as a prosperous age.
Bai Shan knows that this country still has many shortcomings, but if this kind of peace can be maintained, the people will always have a better life.
The lives of ordinary people are better, and their lives will be much better.
Among other things, at least in the future, there will be no shortage of lotus pods to eat, and at the same time, there will be no shortage of lotus flowers to enjoy. There are delicacies in different seasons, which are delicious and cheap...
Only then can it truly be considered a prosperous age.
Bai Shan thought in his heart, his eyes lit up, and his whole body became much brighter.
Man Bao looked at him sideways, meeting his gaze, and the two couldn't help smiling, their eyes filled with starlight.
It was the first time for Peng Zhiru, Lu Xiaofo and others sitting opposite to each other to see the two of them looking at each other and smiling like this. For some reason, they suddenly felt a little sour in their hearts. Counting them, they are still a little older than Bai Shan...
Even Yin Ru, who knew their friendship, couldn't help being taken aback, looked up at them inexplicably, wondering what was wrong with them.
Only Bai Erlang, who was sitting on the sidelines, was not surprised. While they were smiling at each other, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the chicken leg that Bai Shan had just picked up. The chicken stewed with fresh mushrooms is very fragrant, even the chicken leg has a clear fragrance. , and how delicious the chicken legs are.
When Bai Shan came back to his senses, he lowered his head and picked up the chopsticks and was about to continue eating. When he felt something was wrong, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Bai Erlang at the side.
Bai Erlang had already gnawed almost the chicken leg, and when he saw him looking over, he raised his eyebrows and turned away the chicken leg, "Do you want to eat it?"
Bai Shan hated it so much, "Eat it yourself."
After the group had dinner, the boat swung to the center of the lake, where they drank tea and chatted freely.
Man Bao simply sat on the deck wearing a bamboo hat, took off his shoes and socks, and stretched them directly into the lake.
Ren Ke who saw inside almost sprayed the tea, and quickly looked away.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and asked Man Bao, "Is it comfortable?"
Man Bao nodded, so the two of them also walked out of the cabin, and took off their shoes and socks to soak their feet. Not to mention, the lake water was clear and cool, which was indeed very comfortable.
Bai Shan raised water with his feet, and said regretfully, "I don't know how the lake mud is. It would be nice if it was as fine as the river mud in the village."
That way you can step on it and play, which is also very fun.
Bai Erlang asked, "Didn't you fall into the lake before? Didn't you reach the bottom of the lake?"
This is really not a good memory, Man Bao and Bai Shan put their feet away at the same time and stopped soaking them.
When Bai Erlang saw that they left after a disagreement, he widened his eyes and turned to look at Liu Huan who was curious and wanted to soak his feet, "What did I say wrong?"
Liu Huan knew that Bai Erlang was talking about their assassination by the lake last year, when Bai Shan and Zhou Man fell into the lake. This is really not a very happy thing, so he said: "You shouldn't mention this, falling into the lake is not a happy thing."
Bai Erlang didn't think so, he frowned and said, "Falling into the lake is not a happy thing, but something worth showing off. How could they be unhappy?"
Based on his understanding of the two friends, they should be proud.
Bai Shan and Man Bao put on their shoes and socks and went back, thinking to themselves: Two people drowned in this lake, so they stopped soaking their feet.
If it weren't for the fact that they killed two people, it would be a happy thing to fall into the lake and emerge safely.
The two went back to the cabin and sat down, Peng Zhiru and the others stared at the bamboo hats on their heads, Bai Shan untied the hats and asked, "What's wrong?"
Peng Zhiru asked hesitantly: "It's not raining, why are you wearing this?"
In his impression, this is something he only wears when it rains, right
Man Bao said: "The bamboo hat can also shade the sun, why, haven't you seen it?"
Peng Zhiru turned around and asked Lu Xiaofo and the others not confidently, "Do you use bamboo hats to cover the sun?"
Several people shook their heads together.
Is the sun still covered
Man Bao was surprised, he didn't expect them to be rougher than ordinary people, wouldn't they even block the sun
Yin He, who had been entangled with the bamboo hat for a long time, interjected at this time: "The sun is hot, they can choose not to go out, or take a carriage, and at worst, they can wear a veiled hat. Who would use a bamboo hat to block the sun?"
Now it was Man Bao and Bai Shan's turn to be suspicious, and asked hesitantly, "Do men also wear veiled hats?"
Peng Zhiru and others: ... What do you think of men
Man Bao and Bai Shan turned their heads to look at the distant shore together. They squinted their eyes for a long time but couldn't see any man wearing a veiled hat.
Yin Ju sighed, "The sun is still normal at the moment, you should be able to see it after a while."
However, no one is a beggar in the field, who can take a carriage to go in and out, who would wear a veiled hat
Only children who walk outside for a long time will wear it.
