Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 421 They went to Jingbo Lake for fun

They walked out of the temple and saw a street next to the temple, with all kinds of stalls crowded together. Both sides of the street were full. There were stalls selling incense, tea, candied haws, and windmills. The three of them had finally found the right place.

Soon, everyone's hands were full of things, including food, toys, and daily necessities. Wen Zhong, the servant, had his hands full, so he had to say goodbye to the young lady and take them back to the car first.

Fortunately, he drove a carriage this time, otherwise he would have to hire someone to send the things back. He just came and couldn't stop. Wen Zhong couldn't help but sigh that women are really troublesome and spend money like water. He couldn't afford these three women, they were too good at spending money.

He trotted back and forth twice to put the things away. The four of them had nothing but some food in their hands. The four of them headed towards Jingbo Lake. There was a tall white jade tower by the lake, its reflection hidden in the rippling blue water.

There is a small island in the lake, with a tall pavilion and a long corridor on the island, and there are some people sitting in the pavilion.

There were large and small pleasure boats on the lake, some were small melon boats that could seat two people, some were three-story flower boats, and some were slightly larger fishing boats. Every boat was filled with men and women, and noisy laughter could be heard from time to time.

Su He looked at those people and thought that he would not go up. He had seen West Lake before and it was just like that. However, Yingying and Qingming were envious of the boat. They had never seen such a beautiful boat in their lives.

They walked along the path beside the lake, looking around. The surrounding scenery was also very beautiful, with green trees, lush grass, and wild flowers blooming everywhere. Everywhere they looked was beautiful.

Walking along, we came to Sanxian Bridge, an ancient stone bridge with stone lions of various shapes carved on it. The little lions with rich expressions were vivid and interesting. Su He stroked them one by one. The little lions were rubbed shiny by many tourists, and the cool touch was very comfortable.

Whenever Su He came across a stone carving, he would touch it and was deeply impressed by the charm of the art. Qingming and Yingying also followed suit and touched it with a smile, praising the exquisiteness of the carvings.

They walked across the stone bridge and looked at the semicircular bridge from the side. Its silhouette was reflected in the lake, like a beautiful landscape painting. No wonder Chinese painters spent a lot of time and effort on depicting ancient bridges and flowing water.

Every scene here is so charming, especially the tourists here who are all wearing ancient costumes, blending in with the surrounding scenery. Su He even regretted that he could not paint them.

The scenery is beautiful and the people are even more beautiful. This is an effect that cannot be matched with modern clothing. The ancient fragrance and ancient style must be matched with ancient people to bring out that subtle beauty. It seems like being in a fairyland, coupled with the crisp and pleasant sound of the pipa coming from the lake, how can it be described with just one word of beauty.

Su He felt that it was worth coming here. He didn't like boat trips, and he forgot that his family and the three people who came with him had never been on a boat. Next time he had a chance, he must go on a boat with his family to see it. The scenery there should be different, and it would also satisfy Yingying and the others' dreams.

At the end of the day, they would eat the snacks here when they were hungry, rest under the roadside corridor when they were tired, and drink tea at the roadside tea stalls when they were thirsty, enjoying the good times comfortably.

The four of them all enjoyed the slow pace and strolled around without rushing or getting impatient. Su He was very grateful for his previous efforts, which allowed him to enjoy life so leisurely.

Silver and money are really good things. If she didn't have this money, she would still be hungry in the village and how could she see such beautiful scenery. She thought that if she had the chance in the future, she would definitely go out more often. The scenery outside is still good. Money is earned to be spent, and it cannot be left to accumulate in the cellar and gather dust.

The four of them had a great time, and then they took the carriage back to the inn. The three of them looked through the things they bought in the carriage, and their silver bell-like laughter came out from time to time, attracting passers-by to look at their carriage from time to time.

Su He didn't follow the rules of a lady from a wealthy family. She just wanted to live as she pleased. Even after her family became rich, she was unwilling to accept those boudoir rituals, as such a life was too tiring.
