"So scary, like it's real..."
During breakfast in the morning, Li Shu told Zhu Ping'an about the nightmare she had last night. She was still frightened, like a frightened little white rabbit.
"Don't worry, dreams are the opposite of reality. You dreamed that the emperor found out that I framed Gao Botai, but in reality Gao Botai must have died. Maybe when you were dreaming, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Lord Lu, was checking to see if Gao Botai's occupation of military farms was true..."
Zhu Ping'an rubbed Li Shu's forehead affectionately, smiled and comforted her softly. His smile was as warm as the sunshine, which immediately dispelled the haze in Li Shu's heart.
“Oh, oh, oh…”
Zhu Ping'an had just finished comforting Li Shu when he heard a burst of sobbing.
Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu turned around and saw the little maid Baozi wiping her tears. Her eyes were red, tears were streaming, and her little mouth was twitching.
"What's wrong?" Li Shu asked.
"Wuwuwu... Miss knew that she would be pierced by the spear, but she still rushed forward and hugged her son-in-law without hesitation... It's so touching. When I think of that scene, I can't control my tears..."
The chubby little maid Hua stretched out her chubby hand and wiped her tears and replied. As she spoke, she couldn't help but choked up again.
Li Shu...
Zhu Pingan...
Before Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu finished their breakfast, they heard a commotion in the yard. Then they saw the naughty kid and the little loli Niuniu running into the house. The two little kids had already finished their breakfast, and after finishing their breakfast, they couldn't help but come to urge Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an.
We are just going out to have fun, not to go to school. Of course, the earlier we go out to play, the better, so that we can play longer.
So, after the two little ones finished their meal, they came running over to urge them to finish.
result.
After the naughty kid came into the house, he urged Zhu Ping'an to eat so happily, so... he couldn't help but sit down with drooling and ate another breakfast, making the little loli Niuniu roll her eyes in disgust to outer space.
"Let's go."
After having breakfast and cleaning up, Zhu Ping'an said something to the naughty kid and the little loli Niuniu, then naturally took Li Shu's hand and walked out the door, just as modern young couples in love often do.
Li Shu's pretty face turned slightly red, and the tips of her ears were also red, but she did not pull her hand out of Zhu Ping'an's palm.
Although Li Shu felt a little embarrassed to be held by Zhu Ping'an in public, she felt sweeter in her heart than eating honey.
Hua'er, Qin'er and the others have developed immunity from eating this kind of dog food and are no longer surprised by it.
“They held hands.”
However, this was the first time he had seen such a naughty kid. His little fat face was distorted with shock. He covered his face with a pair of fat hands, making him feel so embarrassed. He was so naive.
Little Loli Niuniu pouted her mouth high.
Hearing the naughty child's words, Li Shu glared at Zhu Ping'an in reproach and pulled her little hand out of Zhu Ping'an's palm.
"Haha, I'm used to it..."
Zhu Ping'an scratched his head embarrassedly, forgetting for a moment that this was a feudal society where ethical ethics prevailed.
In this evil feudal society, even holding hands is not allowed.
certainly
As for holding hands, there was still a lot of room for error, and before they even left the house, this little episode was forgotten by everyone.
Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu decided to go boating in Shichahai.
Shichahai was a popular tourist attraction in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It is a rare large body of water in Beijing, with a water area of more than 1,000 acres. It is a natural and artificial lake that connects the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. There were originally ten Buddhist temples around it, so it was called Shichahai. It has beautiful scenery, harmonious bell sounds, and lingering echoes. Since ancient times, it has been known as "West Lake in Spring, Qinhuai in Summer, and Dongting in Autumn".
Shichahai and Zhongnanhai (Taiye Pond) in the Western Garden of Emperor Jiajing belong to the same water system and are collectively known as the Six Seas of the Capital. "Sea" is a name handed down from the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, it is more appropriate to call it "lake". However, because the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were Mongolian and came from inland grasslands and deserts, they lacked water resources and had never seen large lakes. When they saw them, they were amazed and cherished them. They felt that the sea was no more than that, so they gave all the lakes the euphemistic name of "sea".
Shichahai is the outer three seas, and Taiye Lake in Xiyuan is the inner three seas. The outer three seas and the inner three seas are separated by city walls.
The Inner Three Seas are located in the Western Garden and common people are prohibited from entering. However, as a sign of the emperor's generosity, common people are allowed to visit the Outer Three Seas. Of course, nobles are given priority. With the Linhuai Marquis Mansion and Zhu Ping'an's official position, visiting Shichahai is naturally not a problem.
Three carriages with the logo of Linhuai Marquis Mansion drove out of Linhuai Marquis Mansion, with eight fine horses following in front and behind the carriages. Liu Mu and Liu Dadao rode in the front, and the remaining six were the guards of Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
In the leading carriage sat Hua'er, Qin'er and two little maids, with food and spare clothes; in the middle carriage sat Zhu Ping'an, Li Shu, the little Lolita Niuniu and the naughty child; in the back carriage sat two old maids and two servants, with cooking utensils, blankets and other supplies.
The group of people headed towards Shichahai in a mighty procession.
Shichahai is a good place for people in Beijing to cool off and have fun. When Zhu Ping'an and his party arrived at Shichahai, there were already many people there.
"Why are there so many people?"
Li Shu lifted a corner of the curtain and took a look outside. Looking at the chaotic flow of people outside, she couldn't help but pout her cherry lips.
"It's okay, I'll go out and take a look." Zhu Ping'an said to Li Shu with a smile, lifted the door curtain and jumped down.
Zhu Ping'an had just jumped off the carriage when he saw Liu Mu coming over with a horse. He came up to Zhu Ping'an and said, "Sir, ask around. There are more people on the edge here, but fewer people further in. If you rent a pleasure boat, you can cruise the lake or go to an island in the middle of the lake, where you can fish and go hiking."
"Then rent a pleasure boat, the best one."
Zhu Ping'an nodded, took out a ten-liang silver note from his arms, handed it to Liu Mu, and asked Liu Mu to rent a pleasure boat. Thinking that Li Shu was used to being spoiled, and fearing that Li Shu would be wronged, he asked Liu Mu to rent a good pleasure boat.
Ten taels of silver is about RMB 6,000, which should be more than enough to rent a pleasure boat.
During this period, Zhuji Fast Food made a lot of money for Zhu Ping'an, so he could still afford to rent the houseboat.
"Hehehe... Master, we don't need to rent a pleasure boat." The little maidservant poked her head out of the carriage and said with a giggle, "We have property here and own several pleasure boats."
Uh, okay.
When Zhu Ping'an heard this, his old face turned slightly red, and the feeling of being rich and powerful that he had just felt disappeared in an instant.
At that time, pleasure boats were as expensive as modern yachts.
Compared with the wealthy and powerful Li family, my foundation is really not enough...
