Chapter 404 The Lady on the Boat(1/2)
The breeze is gentle and the blue waves are rippling.
A beautifully decorated boat, hung with lanterns, was parked among the lush green lotus and red lotus roots of a lake.
The music on the boat was melodious, the singing was melodious, and the people were singing and laughing. It was so lively.
The hall on the first floor was full of guests.
On the stage, there is a voluptuous woman in colorful feathers dancing.
However, the guests in the hall all looked at the girl sitting in front of the table behind the bead curtain, lowering her head and playing the piano.
The girl behind the bead curtain was hazy and couldn't see clearly, but it made many men fascinated and couldn't take their eyes away.
Just a song and dance.
A girl in a light yellow dress walked onto the stage and spoke with a smile on her face.
It turns out that a poetry meeting is being held on this painting boat today.
And those sitting in the seats in the hall were all talented people and beauties from Kyoto and all over the country.
at the same time.
A small boat approached the painting boat.
The guard standing at the railing of the boat immediately noticed the boat. Seeing that the boat did not leave, but slowly approached the boat, he quickly shouted: "What are you doing?"
The boatman who was punting the boat turned around and said: "Two guests, this boat belongs to Miss Tang. Today Miss Tang is holding a poetry meeting on it. You don't have an invitation, so you can't just get on it."
Nangong Meijiao walked out of the boat canopy, stood on the bow of the boat with a cold and arrogant face, looked at the painted boat in front and said, "Who is Miss Tang?"
The boatman quickly replied: "It is said that my family is a high-ranking official, and Miss Tang's boat often travels on the West Lake and Jingwei River, so we all know each other. I don't know the specific situation."
Nangong Meijiao ordered: "Keep approaching and ignore him."
Seeing that she was so powerful, the boatman didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to hold on to his bamboo pole and continue to let the boat approach slowly.
The few guards on the ship were about to scold them harshly, but they saw that the girl standing on the bow of the ship was luxuriously dressed, had an extraordinary temperament, and had an impeccable appearance and figure. Even the oiran on the ship was not inferior to her.
There are few, so I don’t dare to be careless.
Several people looked at each other and whispered: "Are you the lady's friend?"
Just when he was about to call the maid not far away to inform the young lady, one of the guards suddenly pointed to the boat and said, "I know that young master. The young lady personally invited him to board the boat last time."
"Seriously? Did you see clearly?"
"I saw it clearly. The young master was very handsome. He seemed to be a master of civil affairs. He brought several beautiful family members on board the ship. I was particularly impressed."
"The young lady should have invited him aboard. Even if the young lady didn't invite him, it doesn't matter. If the young lady knew about it, she would definitely let him on board. Come on, let's go and get him on board. Otherwise, the ship's side is too high and they... huh?"
Several people were about to go to meet her when they suddenly saw the girl, who looked very beautiful and had a good figure, jumped directly from the small boat onto the side of the ship with a light jump, and was very stable after landing.
"That woman is a warrior."
Several people stopped.
One of them hurriedly said: "It would be better to go and inform the lady. Just watch and I'll be right back."
"good."
At gatherings of literati, it is most taboo for martial artists to enter.
If a warrior suddenly wants to hurt someone, it will be troublesome.
They can't afford it if any talented person makes a mistake.
Nangong Meijiao jumped onto the big boat, turned around, looked down at someone standing on the bow of the boat and said, "Want to come up?"
Luo Qingzhou stood at the bow of the boat and said, "I want to."
The corners of Nangong Meijiao's lips curled up slightly: "Call me Sister Jiao."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Aren't you called Lime Heroine?"
Nangong Meijiao's face darkened: "Don't mention these four words in front of outsiders!"
Then he added: "How can others know that lime is a hidden weapon?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Isn't it because of shame?"
Nangong Meijiao's eyes widened: "What did you say? Try saying it again?"
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand and said, "Sister Jiao, pull me."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him coldly and said sarcastically: "If you have the guts, just continue to be mean."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I have no spine, arrogant sister, please pull me up quickly."
When Nangong Meijiao saw the guards approaching, she snorted coldly, stretched out her hand to pull him, but suddenly retracted her hand, took out a purple handkerchief from her body, wrapped it around her jade hand, and then stretched out her hand and said: "Hurry up."
Luo Qingzhou grabbed her hand.
Big hands hold small hands, and you can feel the warmth of each other's skin even through the silky handkerchief.
Nangong Meijiao paused and stared into his eyes for a few seconds. Fang Meng used force and pulled him up.
Luo Qingzhou fell next to her, staggered and almost fell.
"Fool."
Nangong Meijiao sneered, untied the handkerchief wrapped in her hand, held it between two delicate jade fingers, and asked: "Do you want this handkerchief? If not, I will throw it away. If you touch it, I will definitely not do it." Want it again."
Luo Qingzhou took a look and said: "Then throw it away. I'm not a woman. Why do I need a handkerchief?"
Nangong Meijiao still held the handkerchief between her two jade fingers, staring at him coldly, without speaking or throwing it away.
The uncle who was punting the boat stopped the boat, raised his head, and looked expectantly at the girl's handkerchief fluttering in the breeze. Seeing that she was reluctant to throw it away, he couldn't help but said: "Girl, can you throw the handkerchief away?" Give it to the little one, take it back and give it to my mother-in-law and daughter."
"roll."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at him coldly.
“Great!”
Without any hesitation, the uncle immediately punted and left in despair, without daring to look back.
"Then...I still want it."
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand.
Nangong Meijiao sneered: "It's so reluctant, I'd better throw it away."
He said throwing it away, but his slender fingers did not let go.
Luo Qingzhou took one look at the expression on her face, reached out decisively, snatched it away, and said: "Throw away the waste and give it to me."
Nangong Meijiao narrowed her eyes: "How do you want to use it?"
Luo Qingzhou stuffed the handkerchief into his arms and said: "My stomach often hurts. I can help you when I go to the latrine next time."
Nangong Meijiao clenched her fist.
At this time, a woman's surprised voice suddenly came from behind: "Mr. Luo, it is indeed you!"
Nangong Meijiao turned around and looked.
A woman wearing a light yellow dress came over with a smile and surprise on her face and said: "I forgot to leave the young master's address last time. I thought I would never see him again. Young Master, please come in quickly."
When Luo Qingzhou saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then he cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be Miss Tang's boat. I just passed by in a small boat and heard that this painted boat was quite lively, so I wanted to come up and have a look, but I didn't expect to meet To Miss Tang."
Tang Yan'er smiled and said: "It is indeed a coincidence, which shows that the young lady and Mr. Luo are very destined."
She originally had a lot to say, but when she saw that the girl next to the young man seemed to have a bad look on her face, she quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, this is..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "My young lady."
Tang Yan'er was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Luo, isn't he..."
She immediately stopped talking and said with a smile: "Oh, please come inside and talk."
Luo Qingzhou explained: "My young lady's surname is Gong. After I came to Kyoto, I taught at her house. The weather is nice today, so I went to the West Lake with her to play."
Tang Yan'er smiled and said, "That's it. Miss Gong looks like she belongs to a wealthy family. I wonder which family she belongs to?"
She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the Gong family in the inner city had never heard of it.
Is it from the outer city?
Nangong Meijiao said calmly: "It's a small family, not worth mentioning."
Tang Yan'er saw that she seemed unwilling to say anything, so she smiled, and without asking any more questions, she led the two of them into the hall and chose an empty seat.
The maid immediately brought snacks and tea.
Tang Yaner smiled and said: "Master Luo, what a coincidence. We are holding a poetry meeting and the title of the poem has just come out. Do you want to participate, Master Luo?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Just sit down and watch the fun for a while."
Tang Yan'er looked at him deeply and said: "Master Luo, Miss Hua Yue is here today too. Miss Hua Yue liked the two poems Mr. Luo wrote last time. Especially the ones that Master Luo left at the end.
The song written for Moon Painting Girl [The bright moon shines on the sea, and the world is far away at this time], Moon Painting Girl especially liked it, and kept it close to her. If Moon Painting Girl knew that the young master was here today, she would be very happy. The title of the poem just now,
It was also written by Hua Yue Girl. If the young master can compose a song, he will be able to secretly surprise Hua Yue Girl."
