The water of the canal surrounds the capital and forms a lake in the low-lying southeast part, called Mirror Lake.
Jinghu Lake is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with thousands of hectares of blue waves, as level as a mirror, and green plants on the shore.
In the spring, you can see the mountains and play in the water in the summer; in the autumn, you can step on the fallen leaves and enjoy the snow in the winter.
Jinghu Lake is picturesque all year round, attracting countless literati and talented people to visit and invite their friends.
When literati gather together and in front of beautiful scenery, it is inevitable that poetry will flourish, which will increase the interest of tourism. Over time, the Jinghu Poetry Society was formed.
The Jinghu Poetry Club is held at the end of every quarter, starting at the Shen time and ending at the end of the Xu time.
After Chen hour, Su Shi took Lin Mo and left the general's mansion.
People in the General's Mansion had long been accustomed to Second Young Master Su leaving early and returning late. But for Su Shi, the chair in the General's Mansion seemed to have thorns on it, making it impossible for him to sit still.
Naturally, he would not admit that he went out so early because he wanted to see Qin Nan earlier.
But after leaving the general's mansion, Su Shi looked at the empty streets in a daze, because it was only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and there were still six or seven hours before the poetry meeting. He didn't know how to spend these long seven or eight hours. .
Lin Mo looked at Su Shi who was in a daze and asked, "Second Young Master, where are we going?"
"I don't know." Su Shi sighed and said, "Where do you think we should go?"
"Drink?" Lin Mo said tentatively.
Su Shi made a serious face: "I'm not an alcoholic."
"gamble?"
Su Shi's face became darker and darker: "Do you think I am a very rich person?"
Lin Mo looked at him seriously, and then said: "Like."
In his opinion, if Mr. Su doesn't look like a rich man, then there will be no rich people in the world.
Su Shi smiled, and then Dundun taught: "Although you are telling the truth, no matter how rich you are, you should not have anything to do with gambling. Otherwise, even if you have a rich family, one day your family will be ruined by gambling."
Lin Mo looked at him with a strange expression, because he had never seen such a thick-skinned person.
His bet with Dongyuan Zhiku was well-known in the streets, and now Su Shi actually had the nerve to teach him a lesson.
Lin Mo sighed: "Master, do you want to listen to music?"
Su Shi also sighed: "I don't understand."
In the past, when he went to listen to music, there would always be someone standing next to him to explain the meaning of each sentence in the music, but even so, Su Shi could only seem to understand.
But Su Shi still couldn't understand it now. If he wanted to listen to the music, he would need someone to explain it. Thinking of having to listen to a song and have someone explain it, Su Shi thought it would be better to dig a hole and bury himself.
Lin Mo couldn't help but touch his head: "Going to Hetaifang?"
"Why go to He Tai Fang?"
Lin Mo said: "Didn't the young master like to go to Hetaifang in the past? There are novel gadgets from all over the country. Isn't that the young master's favorite?"
Su Shi shook his head feebly. Those novel gadgets might have been very attractive to the Su Shi in the past, but to the current Su Shi, they would only be extremely boring.
"What does the young master want to do?" Lin Mo couldn't help but ask.
Su Shi didn't answer him, and suddenly sat down on the steps, holding his head in his hands, looking at the empty street with blank eyes.
Lin Mo also sat down.
So the two of them sat on the steps in front of the general's mansion like two idiots.
So when Qin Yue came to the general's mansion and looked at the two idiot-like people on the steps, his eyes widened.
Naturally, he would not pay attention to Lin Mo, because he saw that Lin Mo was the servant guarding the courtyard, but he did not expect that the dignified second son of the General's Mansion would actually sit on the stone steps without any appearance.
"Why are you sitting here?" Qin Yue asked blankly.
At this time, Su Cai came back to his senses and looked up at Qin Yue, feeling surprised for no reason.
Just as he was about to speak, Lin Mo was already standing in front of Su Shi and asked warily, "Who are you?"
When Qin Yue appeared on the street, Lin Mo became alert. Now that he saw him in front of Su Shi with a strange look on his face, he naturally wanted to ask questions.
Su Shi hurriedly stood up, pushed Lin Mo aside, and introduced to him: "This young master is Qin Yue, the eldest son of Master Qin Zhidao."
Then he said to Qin Yue: "This is my guard, Brother Lin Molin."
After the introduction, Su Shi asked with a smile on his face: "Are you looking for me?"
Qin Yue looked at Su Shi blankly. After a long time, he asked hesitantly: "Are you Shen Xunhuan?"
Su Shi was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that Shen Xunhuan's identity would be betrayed sooner or later, he didn't expect that even Qin Yue would know about it.
He nodded: "Yes."
Qin Yue continued to ask: "You were the one who made the bet with Dongyuan Zhiku?"
"yes."
Qin Yue looked directly into his eyes and asked, "Do you have the second couplet of Yansuo Pondliu?"
Su Shi frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling in his heart.
He exhaled slowly and said, "Yes."
"Can you give me the second line?" Qin Yue said, "As long as you are willing to give me the second line, I can agree to any conditions."
Su Shi did not answer him, but asked: "Is this what Miss Qin Nan Qin meant?"
At this time, Qin Yue was caught in a conflict, because he knew that as long as he said yes, Su Shi would probably give him the second line, but he was a humble gentleman, so he didn't know why he should lie.
In the end, he shook his head: "No."
Su Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little strange. He couldn't help but ask, "Since it's not what Miss Qin meant, what do you mean?"
Qin Yue said coldly: "Because I don't want you to harm my little sister."
"Because of the bet."
Qin Yue admitted: "Yes. Because you have no chance at all in this bet. I will not let my little sister marry a physically disabled person."
Su Shi was a little curious: "What does Miss Qin mean?"
Qin Yue shut his mouth and refused to answer the question.
But sometimes not answering is the best answer. Su Shi immediately felt much relieved, and the depression in his heart just now was gone.
"You think I'm going to lose the bet?"
“It’s not just me that thinks that, it’s everybody that thinks that.”
Su Shi suddenly smiled and said, "If I told you that I will definitely win this bet, what would you think?"
Qin Yue didn't think the joke was funny at all. He said expressionlessly: "I will only think you are whimsical."
Qin Yue's attitude towards Su Shi was not good, but Su Shi didn't care at all.
First, because he was very happy at this time, so although Qin Yue's attitude was bad, he could accept it. Secondly, Su Shi could understand why his attitude was so bad. After all, he was eager to protect his sister.
From the first moment he saw Qin Yue, Su Shi could tell that Qin Yue really cared about Qin Nan and was a maniac about protecting his sister.
And this time he took the risk to visit her, all because of his sister. No matter how bad his attitude was, Su Shi would not care about him. After all, he would most likely become his uncle in the future.
