Chapter 187

Just now, she was sweating a lot in the car, but when she thought she would take a bath when she came back from appreciating the lotus, Bai Xian tried to resist her physical discomfort, forced herself to lie in bed, closed her eyes and began to rest. Unexpectedly, she missed lunch when she slept.

Ziyun came in and called Bai Xian several times. Bai Xian slept like a faint. She didn't wake up until everyone had to go to enjoy the lotus. Looking at her Ziyun shaking anxiously, she felt that she was sweating again when she slept, and her hair was stuck to her neck. She sat up annoyed.

"Ziyun, what time is it now?"

Ziyun picked up the fan and fanned Bai Xian: "master, it's time to apply for the time. When I sent you for lunch, I called you. You slept too heavily and didn't hear me."

As soon as Bai Xian heard that she had slept for more than two hours, she estimated that now everyone was going to travel to the lake. She hurriedly put on her embroidered shoes, stood up, and unfolded the folds on her clothes: "Ziyun, help me comb my hair, don't let them wait."

Just when Bai Xian had just packed up and planned to go out, Shen Yunqing saw that Bai Xian hadn't come out for a long time and came to see her situation: "sister, let's go."

Bai Xian took Shen Yunqing's hand and went to the gate of the yard. She saw the Ding family members standing together chatting. Bai Xian apologized shyly: "I'm sorry. I overslept."

Ding Hualin smiled and said, "it's OK. We've just arrived, Miss Bai and Miss Shen. Please come this way."

Bai Xian and Shen Yunqing join the Ding family. When they arrive here, Ding Hualin doesn't deliberately get close to Bai Xian, but walks around her mother freely. She knows that her sister is lively and will definitely talk to Bai Xian and Shen Yunqing.

Sure enough, after a while, Ding Huayun slowly moved from the front of the team to the back, smiled and said to Bai Xian, "sister Bai, my name is Ding Huayun. Last time you visited our house, I was a little uncomfortable. This is the first time to see you."

Bai Xian looked at the lovely girl who might be her cousin and smiled: "sister Yun, this is my sister, Shen Yunqing."

Shen Yunqing and Ding Huayun were the same age. They were both lively and innocent. After a while, they came together hand in hand. However, they didn't forget the Bai Xian beside them and talked to Bai Xian from time to time.

Ding Hualin looked back and winked at her mother. Mu Bingqing just didn't see it. She already had a way to determine whether Bai Xian was the child of the missing little sister. She didn't care much about these superficial communication routines.

To Bai Xian's surprise, the place to enjoy the lotus was not at the foot of the mountain, but at the top of the mountain. There were no mountains around Luodu. The party walked about a quarter of an hour from Zhuangzi on the hillside to the top of the mountain.

Climbing the last step and looking at the boundless lotus leaves that suddenly appeared in front of her, Bai Xian suddenly felt powerless. The lotus is not from the Ding family, but grows naturally here. I don't know who threw lotus seeds into the lake and when they can grow into such a spectacular lotus group today.

There are long corridors and pavilions by the lake. Luodu people often visit here. They see that the lotus is much higher than the water surface. Some lotus have failed, and only the small lotus canopy in the middle is exposed. Bai Xian wants to pick it himself.

Mubing sent someone to prepare the wupeng boat and fisherman early in the morning. Seeing the light in the eyes of several little girls, she rarely smiled gently: "you can take a boat to see the lotus, but if you pick it yourself, you must ask the servant girls to hold it. Even if the weather is hot, the lake water is cold, and it's bad to fall and choke the water."

As soon as her voice fell, Ding Huayun came and took Shen Yunqing to go to the boat. Shen Yunqing was not willing to leave Bai Xian alone. He begged to look at his sister: "sister, let's get on the boat together."

It was Bai Xian's intention to get on the boat to enjoy the lotus, but Bai Xian still looked like she had to go on the boat for her sister. After all, she is also a court official now. If she gets out of her temper, she will inevitably be gossip.

In this way, the little wupeng boat took the sisters of Bai Xian Shen Yunqing, Ding Huayun and Ding Huaqing. Unlike the lively and direct Ding Huayun, Ding Huaqing has a steady temperament. At first glance, she is a woman full of poetry and books, and her temperament is three times similar to Mu Bingqing.

Ding Hualin repeatedly told the fisherman to be careful. The fisherman slid the oar and the boat went deep towards the lotus leaf. Liao took Mu Bingqing and Ding Hualin's hand and walked towards the pavilion not far away: "well, it's okay. The fisherman won't row too far. Sister-in-law, lin'er, let's go to the pavilion and have a rest."

Mu Bingqing was pulled forward by her. She still couldn't help looking back at the boat that was about to be covered by lotus leaves. She thought that she could know the result she couldn't think of for so long this afternoon. Suddenly, her legs softened and she almost fell.

Ding Hualin also thought she was tired, so she quickly held the other side, and the three led several servant girls forward.

At this moment, sitting in the bow of the boat, feeling the freshness of lotus leaves, Bai Xian felt that she was really right. She took a few deep breaths of moist air, lay freely on the board, and looked at the apricot Pink Embroidered Shoes swinging in the back made of dark green lotus leaves. She was very happy.

You know, in modern times, she didn't do such a lady's behavior, not to mention lying on the boat with her legs crossed to pick lotus flowers. Ding Huayun and Shen Yunqing gathered together to discuss how many flowers to pick for a while, while Ding Huaqing sat quietly in the cabin and looked straight ahead.

Shen Yunqing suddenly rushed to Bai Xian: "sister, will we pick the lotus later?"

Bai Xian sat up, looked at three little girls who were more beautiful than lotus flowers and smiled: "you can pick anything you want, but I'm not going to pick flowers. I'm going to pick some lotus pods and pick some lotus leaves to make delicious food for you in the evening."

Ding Huayun and Ding Huaqing didn't eat the food made by Bai Xian and didn't react much. Shen Yunqing, who hadn't eaten Bai Xian's cooking for a long time, hugged Bai Xian excitedly: "great, thank you, sister. I'll pick it for you."

To pick flowers, you must stand on the board of the boat. The black awning boat has no railings. Bai Xian is really afraid. He stands up with the top of the awning. Bai Xian looks at Ding Huayun and Shen Yunqing, who are eager to try. He patiently tells them, "don't all stand up. The boat is very small. Be careful to turn it over."

As if in response to her words, the boat suddenly shook violently, and the fisherman hurriedly reminded the ladies: "ladies, don't all stand in the bow, so the boat will shake."

At the strong request of Bai Xian and the fisherman, Shen Yunqing and Ding Huayun sat next to Ding Huaqing. They agreed to pick flowers in turn. At this time, the fisherman also stopped rowing and the boat stopped in the lotus leaf. Only Bai Xian who stood up could see the light across the lotus leaf.

When Bai Xian was holding scissors to cut off the long stem under the lotus canopy, the boat shook again. She stood too far from the edge. One of them didn't stand firm. Bai Xian plopped into the lake, leaving only a few people on the boat staring at the place where Bai Xian was standing.
