Chapter 66

·Troublemaking

Tang Xueru seemed to have found a soulmate and said excitedly, "Look at what I said before. Isn't it disappointing?"

"How can there be any reason for Hangzhou people to cause trouble on their own?" Tang Xuexuan pulled Tang Xueru to her side, "You should be more at ease, be careful if others hear me, and then I push you into the lake."

"No." Tang Xueru was the least afraid of him in the entire Tang family. After listening to her brother's words, she not only didn't take her brother's words seriously, but hugged his arm with a smile, "If I accidentally fall into the lake, you must

Will be the first to jump in and save me."

This sentence made Tang Xuexuan's heart warm.

He still deliberately kept a straight face and took out his hand indifferently, "I can't paddle, so what's the use of jumping in? Not only can't I save you, I'll have to answer for myself here."

Tang Xueru refused and pestered him to make him promise that he must be the first to jump down to save herself.

Tang Xuezhen dodged around.

The two brothers and sisters teased Menzi.

Dong Yuluo looked at the three stone towers from a distance and was lost in thought. The last time she came to Hangzhou, she was still young, and her father held her during the whole trip. Now she saw the familiar scenery again, but her father was no longer around. She thought of herself and

The relationship between my father and my father gradually became distant. Every time they met, they would just exchange a simple greeting. I don’t know when the two people who were originally so close became so far apart that they seemed to be separated by mountains and seas. They became so close that they didn’t even want to say a word.

Once she gets married to Tianjin in the future, the mountains and rivers will be far away, and it will not be easy to meet her... She can't help but feel disappointed. Sometimes she also wants to be close to her father, but there is Mrs. Liang in the middle, and she always feels a little uncomfortable.

answer.

Biqing beside her didn't know what she was thinking, but found her in a lonely mood, and deliberately said something to tease her, "No wonder there are so many poems throughout the ages that everyone likes to visit the West Lake. The scenery of the lakes and mountains here is different from other places.

I feel relaxed just looking at it.”

Dong Yuluo just smiled slightly after hearing this.

Bai Rongxuan and Zhang Yunniang stood aside and whispered.

Zhang Yunniang said in a very soft voice, "It's better to see the Moon Reflected in the Three Pools at night. I remember when I was a child, my father often took my brother and me here to watch the night view during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Each stone tower had a candle lit inside, and it reflected on the water like a

It looks like the moon, and sometimes you can’t tell which one in the water is the real moon.”

"The stone pagodas were originally three stone pagodas set up at the deepest part of the lake as markers to show the re-accumulation of silt at the bottom of the lake after Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty dredged the West Lake when he was an official in Hangzhou. Later, allusions were slowly added to it, and it became

A landscape today." Bai Rongxuan looked at the calm lake and said, "There is a deep pool in the lake. The bright moon reflects the abyss, and the stone tower shines in it. The moon is full."

The two were whispering, and when they looked up, they realized that everyone was looking at them.

Zhang Yunniang suddenly panicked and hurriedly hid behind Bai Rongxuan.

Dong Yuluo looked at Bai Rongxuan and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Rongxuan to know so many allusions despite her deep secrets. I have to follow closely if I go further, otherwise I will miss many opportunities to listen to stories."

Bai Rongxuan replied with an uncomfortable look on her face, "Actually, my uncle said it when I visited West Lake in the past. I remembered it in my heart and started showing off today. I didn't expect to be caught red-handed. My uncle knew about the anecdotes about West Lake.

There are so many, you can talk about them all day long. If my cousin wants to hear stories, she should go to my uncle in the end."

"Then I'll have to wait until uncle comes next time." Dong Yuluo was in a bad mood after all, so he didn't say more. The group walked around the island and went to Jiuqu Pingqiao and Yubei Pavilion.

When they returned to the pier, several sailors gathered together to chat. Seeing them coming back, two of them immediately stood up and greeted them with smiles on their faces.

The captain of the boat Bai Rongxuan was riding on asked politely, "Have you guys finished your fun?"

Tang Xuexuan nodded and was about to speak when he saw the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce's boat rowing quickly across the lake, obviously about to dock. The boatmen on the edge of the pier stood up one after another when they saw it, and they were ready to move out with sharp eyes.

No room for this behemoth.

"Now that you've finished playing, please get on the boat. Let's leave quickly." The boatman asked Tang Xuexuan for instructions, "A large boat is blocked here. It will not be easy for us to leave soon."

"Okay." Tang Xuexuan made a prompt decision and arranged for everyone to start boarding the boat.

Just as Bai Rongxuan sat down, the boatman had already moved the oars and rowed out before the painted boat came close. The awning boat passed by the painted boat, and the sound of pipa in the painted boat was clearly audible. Bai Rongxuan even heard a man in the painted boat.

The voice said, "

Mr. Guan, the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon is a must-see place in the beautiful scenery of West Lake, but it is not interesting during the day. If you have time, I will arrange for you to come over in the evening. Then people will light candles in the stone tower in advance. The scenery is beautiful.

Woolen cloth."

The voice was a bit cautious to please.

After all, the boat was huge in size and the water flow it pushed was very fast. The stern man of the awning boat gritted his teeth and shook the oars, so he could barely control the awning boat to row far away and not hit it head-on.

But the awning boat took advantage of the current and turned sideways.

Bai Rongxuan, who was sitting at the very edge, happened to bump into the painted boat. Although the window edge of the painted boat was illuminated by white gauze, Bai Rongxuan still felt a few eyes falling on her. One person even said "Eh" in surprise.

One sound.

Bai Rongxuan felt uncomfortable and hurriedly lowered her head.

The captain exerted all his strength, and the awning boat finally left the dock, and the distance from the painted boat became further and further away.

It was close to noon, and the weather was getting hotter. Tang Xuexuan told the boatman, "Catch up with the awning boat in front. I have something to say to the person on top."

The boatman was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, and after hearing this, he still pulled the boat over. Tang Xuezhen asked Dong Yuluo, Tang Xueping, and Tang Xueli on the boat for instructions, "It's getting late, why don't we go directly to the Huanqing Building and wait?

Take a break after lunch and then go shopping elsewhere in the afternoon."

Dong Yuluo was already sweating. She agreed without thinking, "Okay, I happen to be a little hungry too."

Tang Xuexuan ordered the boat to be rowed to the dock near Huanqing Tower.

The water was shining all the way, and the boatman quickly stopped the boat. Tang Xuexuan paid for the two boats and gave some more. The two boatmen bowed to each other and said a lot of thanks.

There are many restaurants opened by the West Lake. In the early years, businessmen opened Western-style hotels here. Occasionally, you can see blond-haired, blue-eyed, tall-nosed Westerners there. The facade of Huanqing Building is not big, with only two floors.

But because the chef cooks good dishes, there are always a lot of customers on weekdays and it is widely praised.

It was just in time for dinner, and the business in the restaurant was very good. The waiters were busy running around without touching their feet. Seeing a large group of them coming, a teenage waiter immediately came up to them and said, "Guest, sir."

Do you want to have a meal? The store is full now. If you are not in a hurry, just wait here and try the thirst-quenching tea in the store. A table will be freed in a while. "

"We have reserved a private room on the second floor in advance." Tang Xuexuan said, "You go ask the shopkeeper and then get back to me."

"Okay." When the waiter heard that he was a distinguished guest from the private room, he smiled even more. "May I ask your last name?"

"The surname is Tang." As soon as Tang Xuexuan finished speaking, the store clerk ran quickly to the store. After a while, he turned back, followed by a fat shopkeeper, who bowed as he walked, "Is it Mr. Tang? Is it welcome?"

Come on, please take a seat in the private room on the second floor, Tianzihao."

Because the store space in Huanqing Building is really limited, there are only two private rooms on the second floor, called "Tian" and "Di". The two private rooms are in a good location. You can see the view of the West Lake when you open the window. It is very suitable for entertaining guests, but the price

But it is twice the size of the lobby.
