In the afternoon, the sunset slanted from Leifeng Pagoda to all sides, and the whole sky was illuminated by Buddha's light.
The summer breeze is slightly cool, blowing the willows in the river, the lotus leaves in the lake are crowded, and the lotus flowers are swaying in the wind.
A small painting boat passed among the lotus flowers, and a young man's hearty reciting voice came out, "After all, in the middle of June in the West Lake, the scenery is not the same as that of the four seasons. The lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun!"
A woman's voice came from the cabin, "Mr. Chen, it's May now."
May
What poems are there in May
The Tian family has a leisurely month, and people are busy in May!
No, no, this kind of poem that has no interest at all is not suitable for reciting now.
Chen Chuxiu racked his brains, but he didn't think of a suitable poem to save the situation. He turned his head and smiled awkwardly, "Miss Yaoyue, you know I don't have much ink in my stomach, so don't make it difficult for me."
After finishing speaking, he got into the cabin, leaned back generously, raised his legs, and looked leisurely.
Yaoyue held the pipa in her arms, smiled faintly, "What song would Mr. Chen want to hear?"
"I don't want to listen to the song, Yaoyue girl—"
When Chen Chuxiu looked up, she saw that Yaoyue was holding the pipa as if they were growing together, so she put her pipa aside.
"Don't be so busy, just lie down like me and breathe the fresh air on the lake. No one will come in the afternoon. It's quiet and quiet, and it's most suitable for people like you who are just recovering from a serious illness."
Yaoyue was stunned for a while before saying: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness. You will not be rewarded for nothing. Yaoyue is a musician who plays the pipa. Since Mr. Chen doesn't want to listen to the music, Yaoyue will leave first."
"Hey, that won't work!"
Chen Chuxiu played from the bottom of the boat, "I just want to see the scenery on the lake with you, smell the fragrance of flowers, and talk to you, can't you? You are just recovering from a serious illness, and I don't want you to be tired playing the piano. I know you like the second son of the Gu family, and I also Knowing that you are selling your art but not your body, I specially asked you to go out in the afternoon. Although there is no one here, but in broad daylight, are you still afraid of what I will do to you?"
He spoke so bluntly that Yaoyue felt embarrassed.
"You can invite the moon to collect the money from the young master, so you can't be too casual. How about this, the young master lies down and watches the scenery, and listens to the music while watching the scenery. If I get tired of playing, I will rest, how about this?"
"Oh well!"
Chen Chuxiu lay back down again, and the sound of Yaoyue's pipa rang slowly in his ears.
After closing the door to thank guests for a long time, she heard that she was seriously ill. After Gu Jiuge left, she recovered from her illness, but she still refused to go out to meet guests.
With no one to protect her, she was afraid that going out would cause trouble.
But Chen Chuxiu was different. This young man was only eighteen years old. It was rumored that he was a flirtatious dude. Yaoyue had received him several times and knew that he was the most well-behaved boy, so he was willing to go out to meet him.
After playing a whole piece of music, Yaoyue was a little tired, leaning in the cabin and chatting with Chen Chuxiu, from poems and songs to strange stories in the market.
From time to time, she was amused by Chen Chuxiu's words. The latter was contented and lay drowsy in the cabin.
Yaoyue didn't bother him, seeing the sun's slanting sun shining on his face, she covered his eyes with a silk handkerchief to prevent him from being woken up by the sun.
Stealing half a day's leisure, such a rare good thing, should not be disturbed by anything.
It's rare for her, and it's the same for Chen Chuxiu.
He couldn't help laughing at himself and thought, if Gu Jiuge didn't leave, where would it be his turn to invite Yue Yue out to swim in the lake
The painting boat was swayed away by the ripples on the water surface, and with a slight sway, voices could be faintly heard on the quiet lake.
Yaoyue lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out, a painted boat approached from not far away, there seemed to be two or three women on board, talking in a low voice.
It was quiet in the afternoon, and their conversation was heard in Yaoyue's ears word by word.
"Miss, did we come too early? It's not dark yet, how can Mr. Chen and other dude boys come to have fun in broad daylight?"
Mr. Chen
Yaoyue took a look at Chen Chuxiu who was covered with a silk handkerchief, and thought that it couldn't be such a coincidence, this is Mr. Chen they were looking for, right
Another woman's voice was heard, "The sunset is dying, and the breath is dying. It will be dark soon, let's just wait here."
This voice is somewhat familiar, Yaoyue, as a musical performer, is engaged in the business of welcoming and sending off, and has seen many people and heard many voices, so she can't remember whose voice it is for a while.
The servant girl said: "You want the young lady to wait on this empty and uninhabited lake. The eldest son really wronged the young lady this time. The servant girl heard that there are many prostitutes here to accompany guests on the lake. There are only two of us. If we meet What about the flirtatious client?"
The young lady said: "No. We are here to find something to do with Mr. Chen, so we don't have to pay attention to others. Even men who are with prostitutes may not all be frivolous people, for example—"
"For example, Second Young Master Gu?"
Hearing the familiar title, Yaoyue's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered who this young lady was.
She met Miss Yin once in Yushan Building, and she didn't say a few words, but she still had a little impression of her voice.
Yin Jixiu didn't open her mouth, Pei'er snorted, "Second Young Master is good, but the Yaoyue girl is a coquettish girl at first glance, pretending to be sick to gain sympathy, slaves can't understand her like that!"
Yaoyue's complexion changed, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously turned up slightly, revealing a wry smile.
These days when she was sick, she pretended to be sick and sympathized with such speculations. She had heard too much and was used to it.
A musician who entangles the son of a wealthy family, what good guesses can others have about her? How many people will believe that it is true
She lowered her head, pretending not to hear, and waited for Yin Jizheng's boat to pass by.
The young man lying asleep in the cabin suddenly jumped up, and when Yin Jizheng's painting boat passed by them, he kicked hard on the side of the boat!
