Because of his understanding of the plot, Xu Xiake knew that Duan Yu's life would not be in danger for the time being, so he did not chase after him directly.
Instead, he returned to the Pine Ridge to look for Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling. However, when he returned to the Pine Ridge, the two girls were already gone.
They left behind a letter to inform Xu Xiake that their mother had come to pick them up. The four of them went to Jiangnan together to play. They would only meet up with Xu Xiake when he arrived in Jiangnan.
After reading this letter, Swordsman Xu was very gratified. It was naturally best for mother and daughter to reunite and be happy.
Without stopping, he continued to head to Jiangnan.
Ten days later, Swordsman Xu arrived in Jiangnan.
Xu Xiake understood that according to the speed of the Dusk Stallion, there was probably no horse in the world that could be faster than it.
Jiu Mozhi and Duan Yu were definitely not as fast as him. Therefore, after Xu Xiake arrived in Suzhou, he first found an inn to stay in and then prepared to wait for fatigue.
The next day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
The dock closest to Suzhou Taihu Lake was bustling with traffic and people.
Lake Tai sparkled, and the lake and sky were one color. The lotus flowers were blooming in the summer. There were even women from Jiangnan who were holding long poles and shuttling through the water grass to pick the lotus seeds.
Xu Xiake strolled along the bank of the willows, admiring the unique beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. He was in a very happy mood.
The scenery of Jiangnan, which was once only rumored, was an eye-opener today. He was somewhat intoxicated by this dream-like painting.
" Shaking and shaking until the bridge collapses, the young girl goes barefoot to pick lotus, the old boatman paddles alone across the water. Children play in the shallow water, and white carp float on the river. Drunken Wu Yin was the most enchanting…Drunken Wu Yin was the most enchanting!”
One of them was wearing a blue dress, while the other was wearing a long crimson dress. Both women had slender waists and tall figures.
The woman in the blue dress was fresh and elegant, while the woman in the red dress was gentle and generous. Both of them were peerless beauties. The lake was definitely the most beautiful scenery.
The person singing was the woman in the aqua blue dress.
After she finished singing, she sat on the side of the boat and rolled up her pants, revealing her long, white legs and delicate, flawless feet. She placed her feet in the lake and swung them, having a great time.
It turned out that these two women were none other than A'Zhu and A'Bi.
Ah Bi's eyes widened when she heard Ah Zhu's reminder. She glanced left and right and looked toward the embankment, but she also met Xu Xiake's gaze." Aiya, there's really a man!”
She quickly retracted her two slender feet, put down her long dress, and returned to the cabin shyly.
When Xu Xiake saw her shy look, he could not help but feel poetic. He immediately responded," Jiangnan is good, Jiangnan is good! I used to know the scenery. The red flowers on the river at sunrise surpass the fire. In spring, the river is as green as blue. How can I not remember Jiangnan?”
After singing a song, he looked at the two women on the boat.
His voice was loud and clear, and A'Zhu and A'Bi could hear it very clearly.
However, Ah Bi asked in confusion," Sister Ah Zhu, what is he talking about?”
Ah Zhu frowned and said," He's reciting a poem. He must have seen you, a pretty girl, and wanted to show off his talent to lure you into hitting on him!”
Ah Bi blushed slightly." Sister Ah Zhu, what are you talking about? This young master looks quite friendly. He should be a gentleman, right?”
Ah Zhu said," You're so naive. Don't call someone a gentleman just because they're handsome. In this world, there are all kinds of people. Hypocrite people are everywhere. You were cheated by others and you still helped them count their money!”
Ah Bi pursed her lips and said," Mm…Sister Ah Zhu is right. Let's go then and ignore him."”
A'Zhu said," En, let's dock and go to Suzhou to purchase some goods. In a few days, we'll stay in Fragrance Listening Pavilion and avoid coming out again.”
When Xu Xiake saw that the two girls were about to row away after looking over, he could not help but wonder. In novels, didn't those talented scholars encounter beautiful women and become legendary stories? Didn't they all start like this?
Could it be that his performance just now wasn't enough of a scholar?
Perhaps it wasn't strong enough?
Thus, he chanted towards the lake," Spring is not old yet, the wind is fine and willows are slanted.
After a cold meal, he sobered up and sighed.
Poetry and wine take advantage of time."
After he finished reciting, Xu Xiake continued to look at the two girls on the boat. However, the two girls did not look back. As if they had seen a rapist, they pushed the boat quickly and left the lotus pond.
Xu Xiake felt that it was a little funny, but he sighed shamelessly. It was actually quite a wonderful feeling to be treated as a hedonistic son.
