Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 70 Summer chores (2)
The weather was not too hot that day, and the side beside the reed marsh was cooler than other places due to the wide water area and lush trees.The waves on the reeds are as smooth as a mirror, white and gray waterfowl are gliding on the water, and when the wind blows, there is the fragrance of lotus and lotus leaves.

As usual, Li Zhu sat quietly on a white rock in the water to fish, as if sitting in meditation.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter coming from behind, and a familiar voice said: "Young Master Lu, Young Master Chen, isn't the scenery here good? The duck meat and duck eggs here are the best in the local area. Hey, look at that little fishing girl. "

The man went on to read a poem: "'A child with a disheveled head learns to fish, sitting sideways with berries and moss and grass reflecting his body. Passers-by asked and waved away, so scared that the fish should not be shocked'." Everyone laughed together.

Then a voice with a bit of scorn said: "Hey, this kid is quite interesting, catching a fish is like an old monk in meditation, wait for me to scare her."

Everyone booed: "You go."

At this time, I heard Cai Qing say: "The children in the country are timid, don't scare them."

Li Zhu turned his head slowly, and saw a group of brightly dressed boys and girls walking towards them.

Walking in the middle is a tall and burly young man with bronze skin and bright eyes, making him appear to be in high spirits; the man on his left is about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in jade-colored brocade clothes, with a clear face Juan Fengliu; the one on the right, Li Zhu knows, is Cai Qing's younger brother Cai Bai.It was he who read that poem.

These two men have outstanding temperament, dazzling like pearls among the rubble.Cai Bai, who usually appears to be superior to others in every way, suddenly looks much gloomy now.He himself seemed a little ashamed of himself, and he couldn't help but have a hint of flattery in his words.On the contrary, Cai Qing still had that indifferent look, neither overbearing nor humble.

One of the two girls following behind was Cai Lan, whom Li Zhu had met.I haven't seen the other one, it should be Cai Qing's other younger sister who seems to be named Cai Zi.The two girls are also divided into two factions, Cai Lan and Cai Qing have similar expressions.And Cai Zi obviously belongs to the same country as her elder brother Cai Bai.

While speaking, everyone had already walked to Li Zhu and the others.The children who were playing on the trees and in the grass all ran out and gathered around timidly to watch the fun.

Li Zhu greeted Cai Qing as usual: "Brother Cai, are you bringing your friends out to play?"

Cai Qing smiled and greeted: "Yes, did you catch any fish?"

Li Zhu smiled and said, "It will be ready soon."
