Chapter 145 Lake Tour
The steward of the engraving workshop saw Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran and came up to say hello.

"Master Ye, you are here. Our master has already carved the engraving you want. I will take you to see it."

Zhou Ran's three books are not too thick, but they are not thin either, especially because there are many schematic diagrams in them, so it is very difficult to make the engraving. The master of the engraving workshop only made the things yesterday.

Ye Ximing nodded and said, "It's my fault."

Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran followed the steward into the room where the engraving blocks were stored. They took a rough look and found nothing wrong.

So they gave money and asked the workers in the engraving workshop to try printing a batch of books to see the effect.

There are few workers in the engraving workshop, so the speed cannot be fast. Even if Ye Ximing and the others do not require a large quantity for the first batch of books, they cannot complete it in one day.

So they made an agreement with the steward of the engraving workshop to have them deliver the printed books to their homes in five days.

After coming out of the engraving workshop, it was still early. Ye Ximing looked at the sky and turned to ask Zhou Ran: "Do you want to go to the lake?"

Yesterday when he was at Chongning Temple, he heard someone say that the scenery of Chunyue Lake in the west of the city is very good. It should be a very good enjoyment to go boating on the lake in weather like today.

It just so happened that they were in the western suburbs at this time, very close to Chunyue Lake.

Zhou Ran nodded without thinking. No matter in her previous life or in this life, she had no experience of boating on the lake. She was going to try it today.

They were indeed very close to Chunyue Lake, and the carriage passed by in less than two quarters of an hour.

The scenery of Chunyue Lake is indeed good. There are people coming and going on the lake, and boats of all sizes are intertwined on the lake.

Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing found a boat rental place and rented a small boat.

When renting a boat, you can choose to rent it with a boatman, or you can choose not to have a boatman and row the boat yourself.

Neither Zhou Ran nor Ye Ximing knew how to row, so naturally they would not risk their lives by rowing on their own. Otherwise, if the boat capsizes, it will be a trivial matter to compensate others for the boat's money, but it will be miserable if they themselves are held under the boat.

The boatman quickly rowed the boat they selected to the shore. Ye Ximing got on the boat first, then held Zhou Ran's hand on the boat and asked Zhou Ran to get on the boat too.

Putting her feet on the boat and feeling the slight shaking from the hull, Zhou Ran, who had been living on land, couldn't help but feel tight in her heart and tightened her grip on Ye Ximing.

Feeling Zhou Ran's nervousness, Ye Ximing did not let go of her hand. Instead, he pulled her towards him. He put his other hand around her shoulders and comforted her: "Aran, don't be nervous, everything will be fine." ”

Zhou Ran was just a little uncomfortable, not afraid. After listening to Ye Ximing's words, she smiled at Ye Ximing.

In the distance, Gao Rongyue, who came to the lake with several noble ladies from aristocratic families, watched the scene and couldn't help but clenched her back teeth, with resentment on her face.

Miss Xu family next to her saw Gao Rongyue staring at the boat over there, with an expression on her face that she wanted to eat the people on the boat, so she asked: "Rongyue, what are you looking at? What are the people on the boat?" Who have they offended you?"

Gao Rongyue looked away and snorted angrily: "What does it have to do with you? Why do you talk so much?"

A flash of anger flashed in Miss Xu's eyes. If it weren't for your surname Gao, who would be willing to talk to you? It's because she has a sister who is a queen. Her sister has been in the palace for more than two years and still has no heirs. , who knows how long she can be the queen. She cursed in her heart, but Miss Xu didn't dare to say anything on her face. The status of the Xu family was not as good as that of the Gao family. In addition, Gao Rongyue was the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, but she was just a dispensable concubine of the Xu family. Girl, if she had a conflict with Gao Rongyue, she would definitely be punished later.

Thinking of this, Miss Xu family put away her full of resentment and said with a low eyebrow: "It was my inability to speak that made you unhappy, Rongyue. I just thought that if the people on the boat offended you, we Maybe you can find someone to teach them a lesson and let you, Rong Yue, vent your anger."

Gao Rongyue became somewhat interested after hearing this, "How should I teach you a lesson?"

How to teach him a lesson? Miss Xu just said it casually. She didn't know how to teach him a lesson.

But now she definitely can't answer Gao Rongyue like this, otherwise Gao Rongyue will only become more angry, and she will not get any good results.

Miss Xu's mind kept spinning, her eyes swept across the two boats that almost collided with each other in the center of the lake, and she suddenly had an idea in her mind.

"Rongyue, we can wait until their boat reaches the middle of the lake, then find a boat to knock over their boat. By then, they will fall into the lake and become drowned rats."

Hearing this, Gao Rongyue immediately objected: "No, if the boat capsizes, wouldn't everyone on the boat fall into the water? I just want to teach that bitch a lesson, but I don't want to implicate Mr. Ye."

When talking about Mr. Ye, Gao Rongyue's voice softened.

When Miss Xu saw this, she didn't understand anything. Thinking about her father's plan at home, Miss Xu couldn't help but feel funny.

Her father also wanted his second brother to marry Gao Rongyue, but Gao Rongyue fell in love with someone else. It seemed that her father's plan was about to fail.

But what does this have to do with her?
Miss Xu's mind wandered a few times, and she said to Gao Rongyue with a smile: "Rongyue, you can't think like this, how can you implicate Mr. Ye? You are helping Mr. Ye."

Gao Rongyue looked at Miss Xu, wondering what she meant.

Miss Xu smiled and continued softly: "Rongyue, think about it, if Mr. Ye falls into the water and your boat happens to be there, and someone rescues Mr. Ye from the water, then Mr. Ye will be rescued from the water." Will the young master be grateful to you? "

Gao Rongyue's eyes lit up after hearing what Miss Xu said. She couldn't help but look at Miss Xu with a bit of admiration, "Xu Ting, your brain is so good. Thank you for reminding me. If this matter If it really works, I won’t forget your contribution.”

After Gao Rongyue finished speaking, she immediately sent someone to prepare a big boat for her.

At this time, Zhou Ran had been supported by Ye Ximing and sat next to the table in the boat. There were also exquisite snacks and tea on the table.

The boatman who rowed the boat was a veteran who had been rowing for more than ten years. His boat was rowed very steadily.

The speed of the boat was not fast. Zhou Ran was sitting in the boat, eating snacks and admiring the scenery in the lake. Her nervousness was long gone.

The breeze blows, and the overlapping lotus leaves in the distance are fluttering in the wind, which is really refreshing.

When the boat slowly rowed to the center of the lake, the boat Gao Rongyue had found to knock over their boat was also slowly approaching their boat.

When the boatman saw the boat coming straight towards them, he panicked and quickly shook the oar in his hand, trying to change the direction of the boat and avoid the boat, but it was too late. .
