Note: The Fish and Rice Festival is one of the three major festivals in Shumin.It means that the basket is full of fish and the warehouse is full of rice. There is fish and rice, and the weather is smooth.In terms of actual celebration, it has the same effect as the Mid-Autumn Festival.All to celebrate the harvest.It's just that the important link of admiring the moon and eating moon cakes is missing.There are more customs of boating on the lake and eating fish cakes.

Holding a book of medical skills, Lan Ye had nothing to do, so he sat in the courtyard and read a book leisurely.

"Sister, do you think I look good in this dress?"

Wearing an apricot yellow gauze gown, Lan Ling stood in front of her sister with a smile.Waiting for my sister's comment on this dress.

Putting down the book in his hand, Lan Ye nodded slightly as he looked at the person in front of him who was dressed up like a yellow warbler. "Great!"

"What about this one? And this one?"

As he said that, Lan Ling took two more clothes from the two slaves behind him, and asked Lan Ye for his opinion.

"Are you going to participate in a beauty pageant?"

Looking at the clothes behind her, the left one and the right one in the hands of the two servants, Lan Ye raised her eyebrows unconsciously.

"What beauty to choose? Sister, you forgot. Tomorrow is the Fish and Rice Festival. We are going to go boating and swimming in the lake with Brother Du and Sister Yuan Yuan. Tomorrow is the annual festival. There must be people who swim in the lake. Dress carefully."

Hearing this, Lan Ye was stunned. He had read about this Fish and Rice Festival in some books.I heard Xiaodong mention it before, and he is no stranger to this.But, why do you want to get involved with that surnamed Du?

"Why do you want to go boating with them?"

As the daughter of Shangshu, Lan Ye didn't think that his incorruptible father really couldn't afford to rent a boat for a day.

"Oh, it's like this every year. Uncle Du, Aunt Du, and father, the three old people, will go to the temple to eat fast and celebrate the festival. And I will go boating with Brother Du and Sister Yuan Yuan." Opening, Lan Ling said As it should be.

"I don't want to go boating, why don't I go to eat vegetarian food with my father. Go and play!"

It's not like Lan Ye doesn't know what that Du guy thinks about him.Knowing that it is impossible for him to have any relationship with him, why do they always get together and give him an unnecessary illusion?

"Sister, don't spoil the fun? If you don't go, how boring it is for me to play alone!"

Hearing her sister's refusal, Lan Ling pouted reluctantly.

"But, don't you live like this every year?" Looking at the aggrieved man, Lan Ye said it was reasonable.

"Then, isn't this year different? Since my sister is back, she naturally wants to play with me!" Saying this, Lan Ling grabbed someone's sleeve, and the devil's hand shook.

This thing happened again, and he frowned, Lan Ye was a little helpless.

He is obviously a big man, but he pulls his sleeves and acts like a spoiled child at every turn.It's really one side of the water and soil to support the other side.These beauties from Fujian are really no different from those women in 2013.Love to dress up, love to be pretty, love to be coquettish, love to flatten your mouth...

"It's okay to go boating together, but it can only be the two of us. I don't want to take someone else's boat." Pulling away someone's hand, Lan Ye made a small concession.

"Don't be like this, sister, I know you don't want to see Brother Du. But, think about it, we used to spend holidays together. But this year, I suddenly won't go. What will Brother Du think?

Besides, the autumn exam is just around the corner, and in a few days, brother Du will go to the palace to take the palace exam.Sister, for the sake of Brother Du's future, you should go there as hard as you can!

I know that the person in my sister's heart is not Brother Du, but, sister, have you ever thought about it? The autumn exam only happens once every three years. If you reject Brother Du at this time, it will probably affect Brother Du's mood and his autumn exam. .If brother Du really lost his reputation because of his sister's rejection, wouldn't my sister feel guilty? "

After hearing Lan Ling's words, Lan Ye frowned slightly. "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"Hehe, that's great, I knew that my sister is the kindest person who knows how to consider others." When she finally agreed, Lan Ling was overjoyed, and quickly put a high hat on someone.

The next day

Sitting in their own carriage, sisters Lan Ye and Lan Ling rushed to Du Shangshu's mansion.

"Law, law..."

Not long after, the running carriage stopped.Lan Ye raised the curtain of the car and saw the plaque with the word "Du Fu".

Standing up, jumping off the carriage, looking at the tall gate in front of her, which was almost the same size as the mansion she lived in, Lan Ye raised her eyebrows.It seems that the mansions of the Shangshu are all about the same size.

"Greetings to Eldest Miss Lan, Second Miss Lan." Seeing the two of them walking to the gate, the servant hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Brother Du and Sister Yuan Yuan are there?" Lan Ling asked softly the servant at the door.

"Yes, yes, we are waiting for the two of you in the living room? Please come in, please, ladies!" Nodding repeatedly, the servant invited the two distinguished guests into the mansion, and led them to the living room.

"Ye'er, Xiaoling, you're here!" Seeing the visitor, Du Zhong and Yuan Yuan hurriedly got up and warmly greeted him.

"En." With a light reply, Lan Ye nodded towards the master's house.

"Brother Du, is the boat ready?" Opening his mouth, Lan Ling, who loves to play, asked about the cruise ship first.

"Don't worry, everything is ready. After a while, after eating fish cakes and drinking rice wine, let's go swimming in the lake!" Du Zhong answered quickly with a smile.

"Well, that's great." With a smile on his face, Lan Ling was overjoyed.

"Okay, don't just stand here, go sit inside and try the fish cakes I made." Yuan Yuan enthusiastically pulled Lan Ye's arm and let him inside.

As soon as the four guests and hosts were seated, the servants immediately presented them with fragrant fish cakes and sweet rice wine.

Looking at someone beside him who was eating fish cakes with relish, Lan Ye had a faint smile on his lips.

This little spirit, whenever he encounters delicious food, he always looks like he doesn't care about everyone's money.But it's strange to say that even if he devours the food, as long as it is matched with his pretty apple face, the way he eats is still extremely cute.

"Ye, don't just watch Xiaoling eat, try my cooking too!" Yuan Yuan picked up a piece of fish cake and put it on Lan Ye's dinner plate.

"Thank you!" Thank you softly, Lan Ye picked up the plate, picked up the chopsticks, took a small piece of fish cake and put it into his mouth.

This is the first time Lan Ye has eaten this kind of snack called fish cake.However, the light umami fragrance paired with the ground glutinous rice flour is really novel and delicious.

Nodding in satisfaction, Lan Yefu took another bite and put it in his mouth.

"Master..." While the four of them were eating fish cakes, a servant ran in in a panic.

"What's the matter?" Pulling back his gaze that had been lingering on Lan Ye, Du Zhong looked at the visitor with a little confusion.

"Master, a luxurious carriage and several black-clothed guards came outside the door. They said they were here to pick up Second Miss Lan for a boat trip on the lake." When he opened his mouth, the servant did not dare to neglect to tell the truth.

Woohoo, the four men in black at the door are quite scary, and I don't know where they come from?

Hearing this, Lan Ling, who was eating happily, was shocked. A piece of fish cake was stuck in his throat at the critical moment.

"Ah, ah..." Glaring, Lan Ling looked at his sister beside him in pain.

"Xiao Ling..." When he saw his expression was wrong, he looked suspicious.Lan Ye hurried forward to support him.

"Come on, drink some water." Yuan Yuan hurriedly served a cup of tea.

Holding the teacup, Lan Ling drank a cup of tea in one go, before swallowing the damned fish cake.

"Xiao Ling, are you alright?" Du Zhong hurriedly stepped forward, asking about that person's condition with concern.

"No, nothing!" Waving his hand, Lan Ling said he was fine.

"Xiao Ling, who is the person who came to pick you up from the door? Have you already made an appointment with someone else to go boating and swimming in the lake together?" Seeing his face gradually calm down, Du Zhong seriously asked about this matter.

"I..." Lan Ling couldn't help but sigh when mentioning this.

"The thing is like this. A few days ago, I was robbed by two hooligans in an alley. Fortunately, that annoying ghost passed by and appeared in time to save me. He said that if he wanted to repay him, the Fish and Rice Festival would be Accompany him to go boating and tour the lake. I, I agreed at the time.

But, who would have thought that this guy would be so powerful that he would come here to find me! "

Speaking of this, Lan Ling couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He thought that after leaving home, that guy couldn't find anyone even if he wanted to find someone, but he didn't expect that he found here.I really have to admire his supernatural powers!

"Damn ghost? Who is the annoying ghost?" Du Zhong asked puzzledly, chewing on this pronoun.

"This is a bad guy who almost bumped into me and my sister when I was riding a horse on the street many days ago. My sister has also seen it." Said, Lan Ling looked at his sister beside him.

"It's him?" Hearing the words, Lan Ye couldn't help frowning.

Is the annoying ghost that Xiaoling is talking about Prince Guo?

Was he the one who gave Xiaoling snacks, who saved Xiaoling from the gangsters, and who invited Xiaoling to go boating on the lake? ? ?

"Yes, that's him." Nodding, Lan Ling confirmed this fact again.

"Since they have already approached you, how do you plan to deal with it?" Yuan Yuan asked Xiao Ling for his opinion.

"I, I just agreed to him at the time. It doesn't count. I don't want to play with him?" Shaking his head, Lan Ling obviously wanted to go back on his word.

"Little Ling, so..." Hearing this, Du Zhong frowned.

"Brother Du, why don't you ask the servants to tell them that I'm not at your house, okay?" Turning her head, Lan Ye looked at Du Zhong pleadingly.

"But, isn't that good? Since you promised him, how can you break your promise?"

Du Zhong, who reads the books of sages, believes that doing so is against the sages.Since you have promised others, you should fulfill your promise.Can people stand without faith?

"But, I don't even know his name or what he does. If I got on his boat and he had no good intentions to do something wrong to me, then, what should I do? Do you want me to jump?" Lake?" Having said this, Lan Ling's eyes turned red with grievance.

"Okay, cousin, credit is for a gentleman, not for a villain. Since Xiao Ling doesn't want to go, why don't my servant and I go outside and get rid of those people, that's all." Yuan Yuan hurriedly helped Lan Ling rescue.

"Miss Biao, those people in black are all vicious and evil. I'm afraid they are not kind, so it's not so easy to dismiss them!" Hearing Yuan Yuan's plan to dismiss them, the servant kindly reminded someone.

"Hehe, no matter what their background is, this is the Shangshu Mansion. Let's say that people are not here. Do they still dare to enter the mansion to rob people?"

After all, she was born in a merchant's family and started a business with her father since she was a child. In the face of some troublesome things, Yuan Yuan is often more courageous and far-sighted than a pedantic nerd.

"Sister Yuan Yuan loves me the most!" Glancing at a certain nerd, Lan Ling took Yuan Yuan's arm fawningly, and stood beside Yuan Yuan like a small bird.

"Okay, stop being coquettish. Remember, next time you can't casually accept invitations from strangers." Saying that, Yuan Yuan pulled someone's arm away, turned around and was about to leave with her servant.

"Wait a minute!" said Lan Ye, and stopped the person who was about to leave.

"Ye???" Turning her head, Yuan Yuan looked at her friend in confusion.

"Since he can find Du's mansion, he will definitely be able to find the lake. At that time, if Xiao Ling is found by the lake, it will be even more difficult to justify himself." Lan Ye sighed softly.

After all, the other party is the majestic Prince Guo.And Xiao Ling promised first, if he openly confronted him like this, would he be angered?

"Then sister means to let me go to the appointment?" Flattening his mouth, Lan Ling looked at his sister who had always loved him in puzzlement.

"It's uneasy for you to go alone!"

Lan Ling was simple-minded and straightforward, if he was allowed to go alone, maybe he said something wrong, and he would offend Prince Guo, which would not be beautiful.

"Then, sister wants to accompany me?" Hearing what my sister said, Lan Ling was delighted. If I had my sister by my side, then I wouldn't have to be afraid of that annoying ghost.

"Since we have already made an appointment to go boating together, why not join in the fun?" Lan Ye looked at Du Zhong and Yuan Yuan beside him.

"Let's go too? Isn't that good? Xiao Ling is the only person invited by the other party. If we go four at a time, will it make the host unhappy?" Frowning, Du Zhong felt that something was wrong.

"Hehe, it's better for him to be unhappy. Then don't take me to swim in the lake! Anyway, I'm too lazy to go?"

Speaking, Lan Ling didn't mind offending that person at all.At worst, he was kicked off the ship, what more could he wish for?

"Well, it's a good idea. If that person sees too many people with Xiaoling, he won't be happy. At that time, we can just break the appointment and go play by ourselves." Nodding, Yuan Yuan also Think it works.

"Yes, let's do that, let's go..."

With a relaxed smile on his face, Lan Ling pulled his sister's sleeve and walked out.
