Chapter 104 Fishing
After the marks were carved, Chu Anlan turned his head to take a look, not quite satisfied: "Chu Xiaoyan, didn't you eat? Can you use a little more force? Such a shallow mark will be gone in two days of wind. Give me the knife, I will carve it myself."
"First of all, this is called a dagger, not a knife." Chu Xiaoyan sneered: "Secondly, why can't I use my hands? Don't you know?"
"You're not going to blackmail me, are you?" Chu Anlan took a step back. "You were the one who hit me last night, so I dislocated your hand. Besides, I broke it back for you right there."
Chu Xiaoyan was silent.
Upon hearing this, Liao Fuyu looked at Chu Xiaoyan worriedly: "Husband, is your hand dislocated? Then what did you do last night..."
Carry her into the bathtub.
Chu Xiaoyan's black and white eyes stared at her coldly.
Liao Fuyu shut up instantly, a blush appeared on her face: "I'll go get a brush and add a layer of ink to the knife marks to leave a conspicuous color."
Having said that, he lowered his head and walked out of the room in the houseboat.
Chu Anlan smiled: "Last night?"
Chu Xiaoyan glared at him and said, "Last night, you beat me into the ditch, tore my robe worth a thousand taels of silver, and dislocated my arm. Are you going to compensate me?"
"I'll kick you in return, do you want it?" Chu Anlan asked.
Chu Xiaoyan snatched the dagger from his hand and put it back into the scabbard: "It is a great honor to meet you."
Chu Anlan smiled: "Same here."
Not only did they bicker, they also made faces at each other like little children.
Ye Wanqing watched from the side and found it hilarious.
After laughing, he thought of Chu Xiaoyan’s past life and what was going to happen in the future.
Ye Wanqing couldn't laugh anymore.
Soon, Liao Fuyu brought pen and ink.
Ye Wanqing took it: "Let me do it."
She picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and carefully traced on the knife marks. After tracing, she felt that it was not enough, so she picked up the brush and wrote two words next to the knife marks.
Next to the high knife mark, the word "Lan" was written.
Next to the low knife mark, there was a word "Qing".
Seeing this, Chu Anlan asked Chu Xiaoyan for a dagger, drew the sword from its sheath, and carved out the two words written by Ye Wanqing stroke by stroke.
"Add another date?" Ye Wanqing asked.
"Okay!"
Two men stood side by side beside the boat's pillar, one writing and the other carving.
In the bright spring sunshine, the breeze passed through the pleasure boat, entwining the clothes and hair of the two people together, gently and tenderly.
Liao Fuyu looked at it for a moment, then looked away enviously.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Chu Xiaoyan cautiously.
As a member of the royal family, Chu Xiaoyan was born with excellent looks and a good figure. The lines of his body under his clothes were smooth and beautiful.
But he treated her very coldly.
After they got married, she never saw him smile at her.
Liao Fuyu sniffed and looked away.
Suddenly, I heard Chu Xiaoyan's cold voice: "Did you catch a cold?"
Liao Fuyu turned her head in surprise: "Are you concerned about me?"
Chu Xiaoyan sneered: "Could it be that there is someone else here that I can care about?"
Liao Fuyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Chu Xiaoyan: "I didn't catch a cold, it's just that my nose is a little uncomfortable, it's nothing serious."
"Yeah." Chu Xiaoyan withdrew his gaze.
Liao Fuyu thought for a moment and spoke carefully, "Husband, shall we buy a house in Lin'an City? Qing'er said that she wanted to buy a house here and help me buy one too. When we get old, we can live here together. But I don't think this is a good idea. I want to buy one myself."
Chu Xiaoyan looked at the lake indifferently: "Isn't such a big house in Jindu enough for you to live in? The Western Wei royal family has a rule that the descendants of the royal family and their families are not allowed to live away from the capital for a long time at will."
Liao Fuyu said: "But..."
"Do you want to implicate Prince Duan's Mansion?" Chu Xiaoyan asked.
Liao Fuyu shut up in disappointment.
When she looked up, she saw Ye Wanqing looking at Chu Xiaoyan inquiringly. Before leaving the pleasure boat, Liao Fuyu said, "My clothes and makeup are a little messy, I want to tidy them up before going out, you guys go wait for me outside."
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Ye Wanqing asked.
Liao Fuyu shook her head: "I can do it myself."
Ye Wanqing had no choice but to follow Chu Anlan and Chu Xiaoyan downstairs.
As soon as they left, the sound of breaking porcelain was heard in the room.
Chu Xiaoyan frowned and continued walking down.
Ye Wanqing stood at the stairs and asked, "Fuyu, what fell?"
At this time, Liao Fuyu poked her head out from the third floor and said, "I accidentally broke the teacup, but I'm fine. You guys wait for me downstairs."
Having said that, he turned back.
Chu Anlan pointed upstairs and said, "Xiao Yan, don't you want to pay attention to it?"
"Is she a young child who needs care?" Chu Xiaoyan asked back.
"Hey, you are such a boring person." Chu Anlan said with a sigh, "You don't even feel sorry for your own prince's consort."
Chu Xiaoyan walked away with a gloomy face.
Chu Anlan sighed again and said to Ye Wanqing, "Qing'er, the stairs are narrow, walk slowly."
Ye Wanqing nodded.
The three of them went downstairs and sat waiting.
After about a cup of tea, Liao Fuyu came downstairs and put her hands in her wide sleeves: "I'm fine, let's go."
Seeing that she didn't seem unusual, Ye Wanqing didn't ask any more questions.
Another painted boat.
Ye Chenting and Ye Chenting had arrived a long time ago.
The edge of the boat is filled with fishing rods.
The servant picked up the fishing rods and distributed them to several people.
When it was Liao Fuyu's turn, she hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it. Her fingers under her sleeves revealed several red scars.
Chu Xiaoyan glanced at her.
Liao Fuyu smiled at him: "I just broke a teacup, and when I was cleaning it up, I accidentally cut two holes on it, but it's no big deal."
"Where's Mo?" Chu Xiaoyan rarely responded to her.
ink?
Liao Fuyu quickly reached out to check.
Could it be that after she carved the words on the pillar, she stained her sleeves with ink when she traced the words with ink?
Upon closer inspection, another cut on the palm was revealed, but no ink was visible.
She suddenly realized: "Are you cheating me?"
Chu Xiaoyan retracted his gaze and said indifferently as always: "Shut up, fishing."
"Oh……"
Liao Fuyu rolled up her sleeves, sat on a cushioned stool, raised her hand, and threw the fishing hook into the lake.
Looking to the side, Chu Anlan was teaching Ye Wanqing how to fish.
This was the first time Ye Wanqing went fishing after living for two lifetimes.
Chu Anlan handed her the adjusted bamboo pole: "Hold on here and throw the hook out with force. Don't let the hook scratch your face..."
He taught patiently and Ye Wanqing learned patiently.
Suddenly, their eyes met and they smiled at each other for no apparent reason.
As the Peach Blossom Festival approaches, more and more tourists flock to Lin'an City. It happens to be the spring examination held every three years. After the announcement of the list of successful candidates, the failed students take the opportunity to travel around, and many students are rushing to Lin'an City in groups.
"Chu Shaozhen said that many people have come, and the official road to Lin'an is very lively." Ye Chenxi chattered non-stop: "So many people have come, what should we do? Now it's good, they all know we are here. Second brother did very well in the imperial examination, they will definitely come to visit second brother, and then won't they know that sister is also here? After returning to Beijing, they will submit memorials to report sister..."
Ye Chenxi sat on the edge of the boat, holding the fishing rod and muttering to himself.
Ye Chenting endured for a long time, picked up the empty fishing rod, and said helplessly: "Chenxi, be quiet for a while, you scared the fish away."
