Mr. Huo stood by the inner canal, twirling his short beard with his hands, but he saw the lanterns on the red boat from far to near, rippling on the sparkling river, circle after circle, slowly fainting.
On the beautifully decorated boat, a young lady with fluttering robes strummed the pipa in her hand. Fireflies surrounded the girl. Such a poetic and picturesque scene put the adult in a trance. He felt that the pipa girl in front of him was like a goddess from heaven descending to earth. This is true in life. Good luck, what more can I ask for?
"It's so beautiful," said the tall, lanky bearer.
"Look, look, Master Huo is on board." Upon hearing this, several bearers looked toward the water.
"Da Dahai, you don't need to take a shower when you go home tonight." The bearers were not anxious at all, because the short bearer was the best hydrated among them.
"Sir, be careful." The elated county magistrate staggered on the springboard, and a shameless man hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
He found that the red boat looked like a flower from a distance, but a tofu dregs from a close distance. However, the pipa girl at the bow of the boat is definitely not a rouge fan. This beautiful lady in her prime is definitely not the daughter of this couple, but looks like a lady of a wealthy family.
"Sir, the little girl's surname is Zhao Dan and her given name is Min."
"Girl, hearing you play the pipa reminds me of a wonderful person."
"Last year, I had the honor to listen to a stunning woman playing the pipa at the Qinhuai River. Her technique and skills were exactly the same as yours."
"No, we picked him up."
"It was very foggy that morning. We sailed from south to north and sent the guests ashore. We were just about to turn around. Suddenly, my family found the girl lying there on the river embankment. I quickly went over to see that she was still alive, but There was no one around, so the two of us got her on the boat..."
When the girl heard this, she immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Thanks to you for not giving me up, I am a little girl who wishes for you. My foster father is here, please accept my daughter's respect."
"Master, please go ashore and go back in an official sedan. My goddaughter and I will go back by boat." The county magistrate said immediately.
"Get up the sedan!" The master said proudly as he got on the sedan. The bearers carried the sedan unconvinced. The master sat in the sedan and watched the beautiful night scenery of the mountain sun, feeling very happy.
Zhao Min looked at her adoptive father with gratitude. She thanked heaven for his care from the bottom of her heart: Dad, rest in peace under the Nine Springs. My child must redress your grievances...
"My lord, it's time to eat. Please don't mind the simple meal." The woman brought a bowl of porridge and the xiaolongbao that the man had just bought from the river.
"No, you and your daughter will eat together, and we will eat in the back." The woman bowed and retreated.
"Yes." Zhao Min looked at the Lord's kind smile and his amiable look, and the corners of his eyes suddenly became moist, "Father, please go first."
The county magistrate drank the porridge and felt very comfortable. He had a few drinks at noon, and now he felt much better after being relieved by the porridge.
"Daughter, choose a day when your adoptive father will take you to visit Shaohu Park." Mr. Huo has become a father in the true sense of the word.
"From now on, don't say thank you. The whole family is not polite."
In the beautiful rhythm, Mr. Huo recalled that today when he came to the ancient town of Hexia, a cloud of purple air came from the sky and the mist fell on the Wu Mansion. That man named Cheng En must be the Wenqu star mentioned by the half-immortal. As for where Wu Quxing is, everything is still a mystery, so let's wait and see.
The red boat happily flows down the quiet canal, naturally a hundred times faster than the bearers on foot. Unknowingly, the red boat had arrived at the west dock of the city.
"Mr. Huo, I'll take care of you, young lady." The woman stepped forward and bowed.
"Don't worry, you will make a living in the canal from now on. I will take care of you. If you have anything, come to me in Shanyang County." Mr. Huo said grandly.
"Sir, our husband and wife barely make a living on this red boat and we don't dare to disturb each other." After saying that, we turned around and headed towards the middle of the river.
"Benefactor, take care, may God bless you!" Zhao Min knelt on the ground.
"Miss, take care of yourself and come to the canal if you miss us." The woman waved her hand.
"OK!"
The father and daughter were waiting by the pier in the west of the city. Mr. Huo suddenly stood up and said, "Daughter, here we come!"
The bearers were sweating profusely, and they were all out of breath as they were rushing the red boat. Of course, the master on the sedan chair was particularly happy today. He was holding a folding fan and humming Huai Opera. He was so happy.
The sedan stopped suddenly, and the master was almost thrown out.
"Who can't open their eyes and dare to do this to me?!" The master opened the sedan door...
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
