[Red Mansion] Koi Jia Hu

"Ten hectares of lotus and fragrant lotus in Han."

In the scorching summer, the pink lotus swaying in the ten-mile lotus pond in Kyoto is not as hazy as the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it also has a different kind of beauty.

Every time when the lotus lotus is in full bloom, there are many talented scholars and literati traveling together in the ten-mile lotus pond, or painting with wine in the middle of the lake, or enjoying the lotus by boat and reciting poems.

Right now is the season when the lotus blooms, as beautiful as a shy girl.

In the middle of the sea of ​​green leaves, the pink or white lotus exudes a burst of fragrance. If you stay here, you don't need to drink, you will already be drunk.

The lotus pond is fertile, and the lotus in the water grows as tall as a person. When the boat enters the depth, it is submerged by the leaves and flowers at once, and it can't be seen.

At this moment, in the depths of the lotus, there is a leaf that lost its direction.

On the boat sat three men and women in the costumes of the Bei nationality, shaking the boat with unfamiliar hands, like headless flies, rampaging in the sea of ​​lotus.Because of the lack of water, the complexions of the four of them didn't look very good.

Suddenly, the woman with red phoenix eyes threw off the oar angrily, and glared angrily at the bearded man on the same boat.

"It's all your fault, big brother. You don't want a boatman, but you want to play by yourself. Now, we are not proficient in this way, and we lose our direction when we shake it. The lotus in this damn lotus pond is still damn tall, even if Even when we stood up, we couldn’t see the shore or anyone, so we couldn’t call for help!”

On the same boat, a woman with a round face persuaded: "Sister, don't worry, there are our people on the shore. We have been lost in the lotus pond for a long time, and I am afraid that they have brought people to find us now."

The woman with Danfeng eyes slapped the water angrily, and said sullenly: "After shaking for a long time, both of my arms are going to be broken. If I don't leave, I will wait here for someone to come to us."

The man with the beard shook his sore arm, "I don't want to shake it anymore, this boat is disobedient, I want it to move to the left, but it moves to the right. In comparison, taming a horse is much easier."

"There is also the ten-mile lotus pond. It is beautiful, but it is too easy to get lost. Next time, the local boatman will bring it."

The girl with red phoenix eyes raised her voice unhappily, "I've had enough once, what's next? If you want to come, you will come, anyway, I won't come if you kill me!"

The man with the beard shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. Seeing that he was ignoring others, the two sisters, who were extremely tired, were too lazy to open their mouths to waste energy.

The surroundings immediately became quiet, and the sound of splashing water not far away became clear.

"There is the sound of water nearby? Did someone looking for us come here?" The girl with Danfeng eyes suddenly stood up, forgetting that she was on a boat in the water at this time, and almost fell into the water.

The girl with a round face took her hand, "Sister, don't get excited, sit down quickly. The sound of the water doesn't sound like a boat being rowed, but rather like someone playing in the water."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to shake the water.

The man with the beard decisively picked up the paddle, "Since there is the sound of water, there must be someone. The sound of water is coming from the front left, and it should not be far from us. Let's row over and ask them to take us out."

When the two women heard this, their eyes brightened, and Dan Fengyan quickly picked up the paddle and started paddling with his brother.

The boat squeezed through the lotus bushes, swayed from side to side, and soon saw the shadow of another boat.

Going forward a little further, the three brothers and sisters finally saw clearly the two people on the boat, they were two handsome men.

The older one with sword-browed star-eyed eyes and a dignified air sat cross-legged at one end, with one hand fisted to prop up his left chin, staring intently at the younger boy.

The latter's face was like a crown of jade, elegant and dusty, his head was resting on the former's legs lying on the boat, his eyes were closed, and a few strands of black hair at the temples were gently stroking in the wind.

Just looking at the young man's face, one might think that he has fallen asleep, and his sleep is sound.

But when he moved his eyes down and landed on his white ankles that were swaying the water, he knew that he hadn't fallen asleep, but was just enjoying the tranquility deep in the lotus pond with his eyes closed.

Suddenly a lotus flower fell off, and with a faint fragrance, it landed on the slightly raised pink lips of the young man, covering half of the lips.For a while, it is hard to tell whether the lips are more beautiful or the petals are more beautiful.

The three brothers and sisters who came from afar saw this scene, and their eyes straightened immediately.

Jia Hu felt the strangeness on his face, and with his eyes still closed, he raised his hand to pick up the petals kindly, put it under his nose and sniffed lightly, but he didn't notice that Tu Yuan's eyes gradually darkened.

At this moment, the two of them heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and Tu Yuan turned around quickly in reflex, and caught the wolf-like eyes of the three brothers and sisters staring at Jia Hu, and the eyes suddenly became cold.

He didn't ask who it was.

Because of the war between the Central Plains and the Northern Clan in the past few years, the Central Plains, which was at a disadvantage in the past, won many battles and victories with the help of God after the crown prince ascended the throne.

The Bei people were beaten so hard by the Central Plains that they finally lowered their proud heads and offered to make peace with the Central Plains to end the years of war between the two sides.

Yesterday, Tu Yuan got the news that the Bei Clan and pro-envoys had arrived in the capital.Observing the attire of the three brothers and sisters, Tu Yuan knew that the three uninvited guests were members of the envoy.

Judging by the valuable accessories on their bodies, their status should not be low.

It is said that this marriage group was brought by the eldest prince of the Northern Clan and two princesses. If the prediction is correct, these three people are very likely to be the prince and princess from the Northern Clan.

After guessing the identities of the three, Tu Yuan's eyes did not soften.

At this time, Jia Hu rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes and sat up, but accidentally forgot the brush, ink and painting beside him, knocked it over and fell into the water.

Jia Hu stretched out his hand with a cry of "Oops", only in time to pick up the Baihe painting that was completely soaked by someone.

Jiao Hao frowned slightly, his eyes were full of pity, he sighed softly and said, "I've been painting all morning, it's a pity."

Not far away, when Jia Hu opened his eyes, the two sisters from the Bei tribe turned their eyes like wolves and tigers.

They pressed their hearts thumping like a deer, and heard the sound of flowers blooming.

"It's a heart-pounding feeling."

"What a beautiful foot, I want to bite."

Hearing the voices of the two sisters, Tu Yuan subconsciously looked down at Jia Hu's half-submerged foot.The toes are slightly curled up, and against the green water, they look even more white as jade.

With a dark face, he blocked the direct gazes of the two women with his body, quickly grabbed Jia Hu's feet, took out the handkerchief to wipe off the water stains, and finally picked up the shoes and put them on.

Jia Hu smiled sweetly, "Thank you Thirteen Brothers."

Tu Yuan scratched his rosy cheeks, raised his lips and smiled, his eyes that had become cold because of the two sisters turned gentle.

"Who are you?" Until then, Jia Hu looked at the three brothers and sisters with his clean eyes.

When Jia Hu yelled the first time, the three of them didn't respond, and when he yelled the second time, the three of them still didn't respond.Just when he was about to call out the third sound, Tu Yuan impatiently raised his bamboo pole and knocked it on the opponent's boat.

The hull swayed due to external force, and the three brothers and sisters of Huangshen were so frightened that they woke up quickly and grabbed the edge of the boat tightly.

The woman with Danfeng eyes, the eldest princess of the Bei clan, has a violent temper and subconsciously wanted to curse Tu Yuan, but when she raised her head to meet Jia Hu's clear gaze, she immediately swallowed the curse that was about to come out.

Tu Yuan's mood at the moment is as if his baby is missed by others, and he has mixed feelings in his heart.

Glancing at the sky angrily, he said softly to Jia Hu, "It looks like it's going to rain, let's go back."

Jia Hu cast a glance at San Tong, the brother and sister of the Northern tribe who had suddenly turned into wood again, and smiled sweetly, "Yeah".

Tu Yuan inserted the bamboo pole in his hand into the water, supported the boat and moved slowly.

The two princesses of the Northern Clan noticed that Jia Hu and Tu Yuan were drifting away, they regained their senses and shouted anxiously. "Wait! We're lost, take us out!"

Tu Yuan was unhappy in his heart, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't respond.

Jia Hu was an enthusiastic and good boy. When he heard that several people needed help, he asked Tu Yuan to stop the boat, and turned to the three of them, "Then you all come with me!"

The eldest princess responded happily, and the second princess grabbed the oars from the eldest prince by force, and rowed hard with her sister.

The eldest prince looked at his empty hands, and then at his two younger sisters, feeling a little overwhelmed for no reason.

Tu Yuan snorted coldly in his heart, bowed his head and punted the boat all the way without looking back, so as not to see the eyes of the two sisters and feel uncomfortable.

"We are from the Bei tribe. It's the first time we came to the capital and we are not familiar with the environment. Young master, you really did us a big favor. Otherwise, we might not be able to leave the Ten Mile Lotus Pond even when it was dark." The eldest princess tried her best to let His voice became gentle, and he asked: "Dare to ask your surname, son. When we go back, the three of us, brothers and sisters, will definitely come to pay our respects."

"I……"

"Hu'er!"

Just as Jia Hu opened his lips to utter a word, Tu Yuan suddenly called out to him.

For Jia Hu, Tu Yuan was of course more important, and he hurriedly "abandoned" the three members of the Bei tribe and turned to look at Tu Yuan. "Brother Thirteen, what's wrong?"

Tu Yuan broke off a lotus leaf and handed it to Jia Hu, "It's raining, we didn't bring an umbrella, so you can cover it with a lotus leaf for now."

Jia Hu felt the rain falling on his face with his face up, stood up holding the lotus leaf "umbrella" and walked to Tu Yuan's side, half of the leaves covered his head, and half covered Tu Yuan's head. "It was sunny not long ago, but now it's raining, naivety can change as it says it will."

Tu Yuan smiled softly, "It's rainy in summer, that's right."

The two chatted one sentence at a time, and what they were talking about was clearly extremely ordinary topics, but the atmosphere between them was extremely intimate, and there was no way to insert a third person at all.

The eldest princess and the second princess of the Bei clan looked at Jia Hu and the two without blinking. They wanted to join the conversation many times, but they couldn't find a gap, and they were very depressed.

With Tu Yuan leading the way, the group quickly left the Ten Mile Lotus Pond and landed on the shore.

After getting off the boat, the two sisters walked towards Jia Hu shyly.

Seeing this, Tu Yuan's mind was buzzing with alarms, he hurriedly grabbed Jia Hu's shoulders, and led the people to walk quickly to the place where the carriage was parked, completely refusing to give the princesses of the Northern Clan a chance to talk.

"I'll take you home first." Tu Yuan said, reaching out to take the lotus leaf "umbrella" from Jia Hu's hand and propping it on their heads.

Jia Hu didn't notice the two princess sisters who were chasing after her, and smiled at Tu Yuan with crooked eyes. "It will rain heavily after a while, and it will be inconvenient to go back. You can stay at my house today!"

Tu Yuan nodded with a smile, and when he heard footsteps approaching behind him, he immediately grabbed Jia Hu's hand and started running. "Hurry up, if you get wet, your mother should worry again."

A dragonfly flew over and landed on the lotus leaf "umbrella".

The eldest princess and the second princess who were chasing after saw that the distance between them was getting farther and farther. They couldn't catch up, so they stopped angrily and stomped their feet.
