Everyone in the Zhang family was stunned. The Marquis and his wife broke up after a disagreement, and the wife just left. The Marquis was also extremely angry, and he really didn't know what to say.
Zhang Yanling was indeed very annoyed. He had almost foreseen this outcome. Before he came, he was worried that Xu Wanyi would ruin the trip, and now it is indeed the case. The key is that Xu Wanyi's temper is unpredictable, and he will explode at the slightest disagreement.
.I just reminded her that there is no need to pretend to be nice to me, because it is really unnecessary on this occasion, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable and to embarrass myself.
Who would have thought that this would touch her nerves, and she would immediately fall out. Zhang Yanling felt both annoyed and helpless.
Zhang Yanling wanted to keep her, but Xu Wanyi's attitude towards Axiu and Tan Ruqing angered him. Axiu tried to persuade her kindly, but was scolded for no reason. Tan Ruqing was also ridiculed by her with a gun and a stick. This woman was
She was really unreasonable and unreasonable. So Zhang Yanling simply complied with her wishes and refused to even say a word to persuade her to stay.
"Master Marquis, don't be angry. You have to persuade the princess to come back. The sun will set soon and it will be difficult to walk on the road. Besides, it is not good to just let the princess return to the capital." Tan Ruqing frowned and said softly.
persuaded.
"Don't go. If she wants to leave, just leave. I didn't offend her. Besides, there is someone escorting her, so what are you afraid of? If she stays here, everyone can't live in peace. Don't worry about it. Inexplicably, she suddenly became angry. Who is it?
Did you offend her?" Zhang Yanling was annoyed and waved her hands.
Tan Ruqing looked at Zhang Yanling and sighed: "Hey, you don't understand her thoughts at all."
Zhang Yanling frowned and said, "What is she thinking? An unreasonable thought?"
Tan Ruqing stared at Zhang Yanling for a moment and said softly: "Forget it, let's talk about it later. Why are you so loud? Everyone is watching."
Zhang Yanling turned around and saw that everyone was staring at him blankly and at a loss. The Marquis and the princess had a falling out, and the maids and servants didn't know what to do.
Zhang Yanling breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "It's okay, the princess is feeling unwell and returned to Beijing early. Let's just continue. Don't stand around. Everyone is busy with their own business. Get ready for the bonfire and food in the evening. Don't worry about this.
Worry."
After hearing this, everyone relaxed and began to prepare their meals for the evening.
Zhang Yanling stood for a while, unable to calm down. Standing on the southwest side, looking at the sparkling lake under the setting sun in the reservoir below, it was very beautiful. He remembered that he hadn't gone to the reservoir for a long time, so he gathered his mood and walked down the ramp.
Come to the edge of the reservoir.
The area around the reservoir was already covered with green trees and wild flowers. Zhaojiazhuang people followed the plan and planted willows and other trees next to the reservoir embankment to stabilize the embankment. In less than a year, the embankment was already lush. The surrounding areas were originally excavated.
The traces are also occupied by weeds and trees, and there are almost no traces of manual excavation.
In a corner near the reservoir, there is a lotus leaf spreading green, which is very pleasant. It is caused by the spread of newly planted lotus roots. It is conceivable that in a few years, the reservoir will be filled with lotus leaves and the wonderful scenery of lotus flowers in full bloom.
.
Standing on the embankment, looking at the clear and sparkling lake water, Zhang Yanling had the urge to go for a swim. Although Ma Quan, who followed, reminded that the lake must be very cold, this could not stop Zhang Yanling from taking off her clothes and jumping into the lake. With the coolness.
The lake water calmed down Zhang Yanling's hot body and mind. Her mood also improved, and the previous unhappiness slowly disappeared as the lake water washed away it.
…
The dinner in the evening was very sumptuous. The bonfire was lit, and the meat pancakes and some vegetables brought were grilled, dipped in sauces, and paired with wine. It was a delicious buffet barbecue picnic. Everyone was full and full.
Because it was a very hard day today, everyone went into their tents to rest.
Axiu got Zhang Yanling's permission to go home tonight to stay with the old blacksmith and his wife, and to talk about herself. So Zhang Yanling was left alone to guard the empty tent. After lying in the tent for a while, Zhang Yanling couldn't sleep.
He got up and left the tent to talk to Tan Ruqing, but found that the lights in Tan Ruqing's tent had been turned off. Thinking that Tan Ruqing might have fallen asleep and not to be disturbed, he turned around and walked away alone.
However, Tan Ruqing's voice came from behind: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Hou?"
Zhang Yanling turned around and saw that the tent door was half open, and Tan Ruqing leaned out half of her body to look at him. The light from the bonfire illuminated her face, making her face even more beautiful between light and dark.
"Oh, I drank some wine and couldn't sleep. I wanted to ask you if you were interested in joining me for a night out." Zhang Yanling said softly.
Tan Ruqing thought for a while, nodded and said softly: "Master Hou, wait a moment."
Not long after, Tan Ruqing walked out of the tent, put on a cloak and held a small tea box in her hand, and walked up to Zhang Yanling.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "I forgot, the wind is chilly at night, so I will go back and put on a cloak."
Tan Ruqing smiled and said: "It should be like this. At the turn of spring and summer, we are most vulnerable to wind and cold. Go away quickly."
Zhang Yanling smiled, quickly went back to the tent to get a cloak and put it on, reached out to take the small tea box in Tan Ruqing's hand, took Tan Ruqing's arm, and walked slowly towards the edge of the mountain.
Everyone's camp tents were pitched in the middle of the mountain top. The inner circle was the women's tents, and the outer circle was the servants' tents. So after leaving the outer circle of the camp, they were no longer illuminated by the campfire, and the surrounding area became dark. But the sky was full.
The stars were brilliant, and under the starlight, after my eyes adapted to the darkness, I discovered that the surroundings were not so dark anymore.
The two of them stood on the slope, with the night wind blowing and the sound of frogs and insects all around. Under the starry sky, the outline of the Western Mountain in the distance seemed to be vaguely visible. At this scene, both of them exclaimed in admiration.
"What a beautiful night. I haven't felt this way for a long time. It's rare to have such a night in the capital. You can listen to the wind blowing the insects and watch the stars shine brightly." Tan Ruqing praised softly.
"Yeah, it's a pity that the bonfire in the camp behind interferes with it. The night watchers are also watching us. Why don't we go sit by the Poxia Reservoir." Zhang Yanling said.
Tan Ruqing nodded and said, "Okay. It's just that the hillside is difficult to walk on."
Zhang Yanling smiled, stretched out his hand, held Tan Ruqing in his arms, walked down the hillside step by step, and soon arrived at the reservoir.
Tan Ruqing had been nestling in Zhang Yanling's arms like a well-behaved kitten. It was not until she stood next to the reservoir that she struggled to land. But Zhang Yanling did not let her go. Instead, she came close to her in the dark and breathed warm lips.
Come on. Tan Ruqing chuckled, reached out and hooked her, and the two kissed each other.
The endless kiss seemed to have no end, until there was a splash of water in the reservoir, which awakened the two people who were immersed in tenderness.
"What is that?" Tan Ruqing asked frightened.
"The water ghost is here to catch you." Zhang Yanling laughed.
Tan Ruqing gave him a hard blow and said, "You know how to bully me."
