Chu Rao is really not drunk, but she is a little bold under the slight drunkenness, and her face seems to be not so thin.
So when Qi Su was almost half-hugged and brought to the door, Chu Rao didn't feel so ashamed, maybe she couldn't tell the difference between the heat on her face and the plum wine.
When Qi Su took Chu Rao away, it was on a whim, and her hat fell into the banquet before she could bring it.
Walking out of the boat, Chu Rao's face was unobstructed, and the night breeze of early autumn was chilling.
At first, she felt that it was very comfortable to blow away the dryness on her face, but after blowing for a while, she felt the coldness, and her consciousness gradually pulled back from a slightly blurred state.
Looking down, he was hanging on Qi Su like a cat, and his little finger was still hooked around Qi Su's waist and sealed with a white jade spike, looking like he was being held very 'self-satisfied'.
Chu Rao took advantage of the strength of the wine to thicken her face by an inch, and then thinned it back.
"I, I'd better get down and walk by myself."
Chu Rao let go of her hand a little embarrassed, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Qi Su.
"Hmm."
Qi Su didn't say more, just bent down slightly to let her go, and continued to walk to the deck at the stern of the boat, Chu Rao followed in small steps, and when she saw the wine jug that Qi Su was carrying under the sleeve robe in her left hand that was swaying and revealing the round bottom, her heart was even more confused, what was she talking about in it, like a little drunkard!
Chu Rao walked behind Qi Su with her head down, and after a while, the boatman on the deck saw the two of them.
The boatman welcomed more guests, so it was natural to tell whether they were out to rest or to get off the boat.
He turned the penny a few times, then changed the boat and leaned to the water's edge, and the boatboy who followed him lowered the gangplank that connected to the embankment with great discernment.
"Qi Su, where is this?"
The boat went around the moat for most of the time, and now it was obviously not near Qi Su's house, she had never been here, so she really couldn't recognize it.
"Chengnan Miaoxing Town."
"Oh."
Chu Rao remembered what Ziyan said before she got on the boat, stood still and looked into the distance, and sure enough, she saw the Qi family's carriage following all the way, with two lanterns on the front of the car, which was quite obvious in the night.
I probably noticed that the boat had stopped, and the carriage was moving much slower.
"Two distinguished guests, please be careful when crossing the boat deeper."
The boatman reminded him as usual, and retreated to the side of the gangplank and waited quietly.
Chu Rao was in trouble at this time looking at the wooden plank that was floating and swaying in the evening breeze, and only then did Ziyan help her over, but as soon as the banquet opened before, Ziyan had already taken care of it with Sijiu back to the carriage, so now....
She glanced at Qi Su and wanted to ask him to help, but as soon as she saw the wine jug in his hand, she felt that her face was like fire, hey, she knew that it was really better to get drunk at all.
After hesitating, Qi Su had already stepped forward first.
Anyway, Chu Rao looked at the swarthy and sparkling lake below, and she herself had learned to swim, so close to the shore, the lake was not deep, and even if she fell, she couldn't drown.
Chu Rao gritted her teeth and was about to walk onto the springboard, but just when she thought that Qi Su would be able to walk to the other side in three or two steps, Qi Su stood on the plank and stopped with her back to her.
Chu Rao stepped on it tentatively, only stepped on it once, and when she stood still, Qi Su didn't go any further.
She took another step forward, almost at the same time, Qi Su also took a step forward, he walked very slowly, and every step followed the footsteps of Chu Rao behind.
With him in front of him, the plank was exerted by the man's force, and it couldn't shake at all.
In just seven or eight feet, Chu Rao followed behind Qi Su and walked steadily to the other side.
Obviously, Qi Su didn't support her, but looking at the light-colored robe in front of her, Chu Rao was very happy for some reason, anyway, she just knew that Qi Su was waiting for her on purpose.
"Ma'am, ma'am—" was the voice of Purple Smoke.
Chu Rao picked up the corner of her skirt and shook off the mud that she had accidentally splashed, and when she looked up, she looked at Ziyan's nervous concern.
"Madame, slave The maid just remembered that this springboard was not easy to walk, and hurried over, but fortunately, Madame, you are fine. ” "Hmm."
Chu Rao glanced at Qi Su, who was walking in front, and said in a low voice, "Qi Su brought me here." ” "That's good."
Ziyan looked back, responded clearly, and also learned Chu Rao to lower her voice and said: "It's the slave and maid who are too worried, there is a son, where do you need a slave." ” Chu Rao was afraid that Qi Su would deliberately lower her voice when she heard it, Ziyan learned from her this time, obviously deliberately joking, and the two of them joked back and forth for a while, and Chu Rao put away her temperament and got into the carriage.
Under the bright moonlight, the carriage was going to the Qi Mansion unhurriedly, the charcoal basin under the chair in the car burned the feet, the warm fragrance curled, the plum wine was sweet in the mouth, but the stamina was enough, Chu Rao was blown away by the wind, and at this time he was a little up, hot and sleepy, and his head was still a little dizzy, very uncomfortable.
Chu Rao's eyes lit up a little, and she looked at Qi Su and said, "Can I open a small slit, I want to blow the wind, if you are too cold, tell me." ” Qi Su glanced at her already reddened eyes, "Hmm." ” Chu Rao lifted the heavy cotton silk on her side with her hand, revealing the thin yarn on the outside, took a deep breath, and the cold breath immediately rushed into her nose from the gauze, and the cool breeze mixed with water vapor turned around her limbs, and finally dispersed most of the heat on her body, and the whole person was a little sober.
The carriage walked slowly at night, not so sleepy, Chu Rao was bored and leaned on the window railing with her chin propped up, occasionally looking at Qi Su who was concentrating on reading, and occasionally staring at the scenery outside the window, but this black light blinded her, in fact, she couldn't see anything, and she was just passing the time.
Suddenly, Chu Rao seemed to see something interesting, and whispered, "Hey, what is this?"
” After Chu Rao finished saying this, she hurriedly pulled the window screen, her whole little face poked out, and shouted to Sijiu, who was sitting on the wheel in front of her, "Sijiu, look, what are the lights on the west side?"
” A coachman was in a hurry, Sijiu was squinting and dozing, and was awakened by Chu Rao's shout, turned around and looked west, and stared for a few breaths before suddenly saying: "Oh, madam, the place you said is the Honghu Lake in the west of Miaohang Town, I heard that this Honghu Lake is connected to the Xiangjiang River, and you can't see the end of the lake on the shore of the lake." ” "Later, I don't know which one started, there were many vendors by the lake, selling some lake lanterns and prayer lanterns, and after a long time, it has become a lively place in Guangling City.
Ziyan sat next to Sijiu, and when he heard him talk about this, he also heard about it, "Yes, Cui'er in the dining room took a half-day holiday with the housekeeper on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year a few days ago, and he came here to put the lights." said that she was asking for a good marriage for her unmarried sister.
Madam, don't look at the sky now, there are only a few scattered lamps in the sky, the day of the Qiqiao Festival is different, the sky and the lake are all shining, there are hundreds of lamps, that is really beautiful!

” "yes, I think it's pretty good right now."
Chu Rao withdrew from the window, her head lying heavily on her arms, her face full of yearning, "If it were hundreds or thousands, what would it be like, but it's a pity that the banquet is not on the seventh day of the first month, otherwise you can see it on the way back." ” Qi Su heard her muttering, put down the book and followed her line of sight, through the hazy veil, there seemed to be some sporadic prayer lanterns on the river in the distance, but...
"If there are more lights, it will look better."
"Of course...", just like the fireflies she liked to catch when she was a child, a world and a sky full of fireflies, how beautiful.
"You want to see it?"
"I want to think about it, but I can't go back to three days ago."
Chu Rao said it with a smile, and there was not much regret in her words, in fact, she just said it casually.
However, when Qi Su heard this, he leaned forward and glanced at the window lattice, his eyes reflected the yellow candle flame on the coffee table, which was uncertain.
His lips happened to stop not far from Chu Rao's ear, and he only heard him say lightly, "Not really, no." *** The carriage slowly stopped on a small slope with a wide view, and the window of the carriage looked out of the flood On the shore of the lake.
Chu Rao turned her head and was puzzled, "Qi Su, where did Sijiu go, why didn't he come back?"
” It's late at night, and if I delay it any longer, I don't know if I can return to Qi's house in the first half of the night.
Chu Rao saw that Qi Su looked up at her and didn't speak, thinking that she didn't hear her clearly, and was about to ask again, when suddenly, Qi Su actually got up and leaned in her direction.
Chu Rao looked dazed, her slender white fingers lifted in front of her, her jaw was hooked, and she gently pushed it out of the window.
"Look."
"See what?"
Qi Su withdrew his hand, "Look at what it looked like three days ago." ” Chu Rao looked out the window at Honghu Lake for some reason, the night was like a dense inkstone, so strong that it couldn't be dissolved, and the few stars in the sky were like dusty pearls, glowing with a faint light, there was nothing special, what did Qi Su let her see?
Gradually, however, the outermost part of the lake, which was closer to the carriage, was like a crack opened in the darkness, and the red light leaking out was connected into a bright strip of light.
The crimson color pushed further and further into the distance, until the entire sky over Honghu Lake was dyed with brilliance.
However, it was not over yet, and then, the water surface staggered and rose to the starting point of 'Vermilion Flowing Fire', Chu Rao looked closely, only to find that it was the sky lantern she had just seen, but this time it was no longer a few sporadic lights, but hundreds of thousands, endlessly, intertwined with the water lanterns in the lake, strong and bright.
Even if there are few heavens and thousands of scenery in this world, she feels that it is not as good as the red rain at this moment, and the stars in the water are shocking.
Chu Rao was speechless by this beautiful scene, and this time she opened her mouth and asked, "Qi Su, am I drunk?"
” The man who sat down in place again, his eyes fell back to the book in his hand, and he didn't look up, but his voice was undisguised with a shallow smile for the first time.
"Hmm." .....
