Xu Qingmo was a little surprised: "Ah? Then why do you say there are gold bricks?"
"Those bricks happened to be in the study room. Because of the decoration, if they were changed to other colors, it would be a bit strange. I was reluctant to buy so much gold to make bricks, so I bought some gold foil to wrap a few blue bricks. Put it there!" Mrs. He said helplessly, "Just these few pieces of gold foil will make your uncle feel so distressed!"
"Isn't it normal to feel distressed? Those are all real gold and silver. Wouldn't it be better to keep them in your pocket? They have to be smashed to pieces and pasted on the wall. What the hell!" He Anye thought of the gold foils in his study room. , I felt extremely distressed.
While they were talking, He Jinshan's sister He Qianwen ran out, and she immediately threw herself into Mrs. He's arms: "Mother!"
"Oh, you're so old and you're still acting like a spoiled brat!" Madam He scolded in a low voice, but couldn't help but smile with relief.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time before Mrs. He said to He Qianwen: "Quick, I've met the Crown Prince Yongchang and your cousin!"
He Qianwen then looked at Xu Qingmo and Meng Hetong: "Cousin..."
After calling her "cousin", the voice stopped abruptly. Xu Qingmo followed He Qianwen's blank gaze and looked at Meng Hetong. Then he understood that another little girl who was inexperienced in the world was fascinated by the appearance of this bastard Meng Hetong.
Xu Qingmo couldn't help but leaned into Hua Ying's ear and said, "She's just a flamboyant butterfly! She specializes in harming these innocent girls who don't understand the world."
Now Meng Hetong, who was behind Xu Qingmo, gritted his teeth and snorted: "I can hear it!"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows and then said nothing.
Mrs. He quickly arranged a courtyard for them and asked Xu Qingmo to live next door to He Qianwen. Thinking that it would be easier for the two daughters to talk to each other, Meng Hetong lived in the outer courtyard.
A few people rested for a while, and then it was time for dinner. Since everyone had just come back, Mrs. He arranged a family dinner, saying that she wanted to cleanse herself from the wind and dust.
In fact, everyone knew very well that Mrs. He endured the fatigue of the journey and prepared a dinner for Xu Qingmo and Meng Hetong.
This table is all the characteristics of Hangzhou, from West Lake vinegar fish to Longjing shrimp, even Meng Hetong, who is used to eating delicious food, can't help but move his index finger.
"Let me tell you, this West Lake vinegar fish should be eaten in Hangzhou!" Mrs. He said with a smile, "Ning Yuanhou is a filial man. He was afraid that I would not be used to it and found a cook who specializes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. The West Lake vinegar fish It’s well done but the taste is a bit off. After all, it’s not the carp from West Lake, so it’s still different.”
Xu Qingmo, who was sitting aside, didn't say much, mainly because she couldn't tell the difference. At this time, she must not talk to each other, otherwise she would easily get burned.
"The prince probably rarely comes to Hangzhou, and I don't know if he is used to eating these dishes." Mrs. He said eagerly.
"The lady is very thoughtful. She has prepared famous dishes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Naturally they are all delicious!" Meng Hetong said with a smile.
Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief. He had worked hard to prepare such a large table, naturally hoping that the guests would be satisfied. Now that the guests who came to the door were satisfied with their meals, she was naturally happy too.
After eating, Xu Qingmo wanted to go back to the yard to rest, but He Qianwen stopped him: "Sister, do you want to go to the boathouse in West Lake with us to sit for a while?"
Xu Qingmo was a little puzzled at the moment. She always thought that those boats were painted boats, that is, the so-called literati and elegant guests, under some pretexts, invited singers on board to have a good time on the boat!
He Jinshan probably saw Xu Qingmo's confusion, so he quickly explained: "The Chinese New Year has just passed, both sides of the West Lake have been decorated, and lanterns are lit everywhere. Going on a boat cruise at night is quite special!"
Xu Qingmo understood that He Jinshan wanted to take her out to play, but in fact, at this time, she was already exhausted.
After traveling for more than half a month, she was exhausted. She finally got to the place. Now she just wanted to take a good nap with her hands under the quilt, but she also had to eat and play. She really couldn't afford to do this. strength.
But unfortunately, she couldn't refuse the kindness of others, so she had no choice but to go with them.
Xu Qingmo is not the kind of poetic literati. Compared with the night view of the West Lake, she is more interested in the fish in the lake: "This fish is really fat!"
"Sister, it seems like you don't like the scenery around here very much?" He Qianwen felt that Xu Qingmo was more or less absent-minded, so she asked cautiously.
"I'm quite rude and don't know how to appreciate scenery. In my opinion, these are just mountains, water, trees, and lakes, that's all!" Xu Qingmo said softly.
"cut!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer sounded in his ears. Xu Qingmo subconsciously raised his head and saw a woman in a goose-pink dress walking by and gave her a mocking look.
He Qianwen was a little unhappy and quickly comforted her: "Don't pay attention to her! If we hadn't arrived late today and there was no boat, we wouldn't have been able to squeeze in with them."
"Who are they?" Meng Hetong, who came together, couldn't help but ask.
Xu Qingmo immediately rolled his eyes: "I know how to look at beauties!"
"I want you to take care of it!" Meng Hetong choked, "It would be more scary if a grown man like me goes to see a man!"
He Qianwen laughed secretly: "Those are the daughters of local wealthy businessmen. They have been pampered since childhood, and they have not seen much of the world. It is inevitable that they will think more highly of themselves."
"Arty!" He Jinshan added at the end.
Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows: "Are we just talking about others so blatantly?"
"Aren't they just blatantly mocking you?" Meng Hetong added.
Xu Qingmo thought about it and said, "But I don't care too much. The West Lake is beautiful, but you also have to meet the right person. I am rude by nature, and I am not the kind of person who can be poetic!"
Meng Hetong glanced at Xu Qingmo. As for her literary talent, she was better than others when it came to being poetic and picturesque occasionally, but it was obvious that she was too tired to be poetic or picturesque now.
The shadows under her eyes clearly interpreted the fact that she wanted to sleep. Meng Hetong looked around and then asked: "This boat will not stop until it completes a full circle, right?"
He Jinshan nodded: "The boat generally needs to complete a circle before stopping, but if you want to get off the boat halfway, you can, but this way, you will be far away from our carriage."
