Chapter 243 The Night of the Pearl
Chen Zining stayed in the garrison for more than an hour and gave some tips on martial arts. Seeing that it was getting dark, he called a carriage and rushed to the Baiyan Sand Wharf.
There are many stone mountains on both sides of the upper reaches of the Qing River, and the bottom of the river is mostly pebbles and fine sand. Therefore, the river water is clear. In the name of Qing River, the river sand that hit the upper reaches accumulates into a sandbar in the water of Mingzhu Lake. The sand on the sandbar is sandbar. It is a tetragonal body, crystal clear and transparent, so it is named Baiyan Sand. A small dock here is also named after it.
The nights of Pearl Lake are not as lively as the daytime, and even more so. When the sky darkens, countless pleasure boats and boats are marching on the lake. The lights are bright and echoing the stars in the sky, which is quite spectacular.
Although the prince of the Dagan Dynasty dug out this Pearl Lake at that time was a waste of money, his contribution to Tsinghua City over the past thousand years has been an indelible contribution.
Chen Zining came to the dock and happened to be seven o'clock. He did not see the ship waiting for people. When he was wondering, Chen Mengning's voice came from behind: "Zi Ning, you are really on time. You are unwilling to come sooner, I don't want to be a minute late either."
Chen Zining looked back and saw Chen Mengning wearing white clothes, holding a wooden box in her hand, like a lotus from the water, and the jade was natural, like a fairy walking out of the painting, which was fascinating.
Chen Zining smiled and said, "I remember the first time I met you, and you were also wearing white clothes like snow."
Chen Mengning narrowed her eyes as crescent moon, smiled like a flower, and said, "You still remember."
The two walked to the shore, Chen Mengning looked at the night view of Mingzhu Lake in the distance, and sighed: "What a beautiful night, I really hope to see it every day."
Chen Zining said: "The college is very free. If you want to see it, you can see it every day."
Chen Meng Ning's eyes were confused and said, "There will be a day when I will not be free."
Chen Zining looked stunned and didn't say anything.
Chen Mengning pointed to the mooring place and said, "Zi Ning, let's rent a boat and visit Mingzhu Lake in the night together?"
Chen Zining nodded and said, "Today you are the birthday star, everything is as you wish."
Chen Mengning glanced at him and giggled, "Is it just as I want today?"
Chen Zining walked in front and said, "With the power of the Shen family, you will definitely have a happy life."
Chen Mengning whispered: "That's what you think?"
This sentence was like thin threads, blown away by the night wind, and it seemed that it had not reached Chen Zining's ears.
Chen Zining found a black-topped boat to explain his purpose. The owner of the boat smiled and said, "Young master, Miss, you can go anywhere with twelve silver coins in one night, ten miles of Mingzhu Lake."
Chen Mengning said: "We want to rent a boat and row it ourselves, so we don't have to work hard on the boat owner."
After saying that, he took out a hundred yuan gold ticket and handed it to the ship owner.
Chen Zining wanted to ask Chen Mengning why there were only two people and did not invite other classmates, but he shrank back when he spoke.
After the owner of the boat left, the two got on the boat. Chen Mengning smiled and said, "You can row, right?"
Chen Zining couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Why did you wait until the boatman leaves before asking? If I can't row, would you, a girl, take action?"
After saying that, he held the oar and started rowing. He learned it once on Guanjiang when the fish tribe hunted a giant python. He couldn't be called a master, but he could be considered a master. Soon the boat left the shore of the lake and headed towards the lake. The heart is cut off.
The water and clouds on Fengyan Island are more lively than during the day. Each floor is brightly lit. From a distance, against the backdrop of a dark curtain, it is like a fire tree and silver flowers, like a dream.
Chen Zining circled around Fengyan Island for a half-way circle, Chen Mengning waved to him in the tent, and said, "You haven't had dinner yet, come here quickly and prepare good things for you."
Chen Zining stopped and saw Chen Mengning take out six dishes, a small bottle of wine and two wine glasses from the wooden box, making fun of him: "Is this your birthday dinner?"
Chen Mengning said: "I hope this will happen every year."
Chen Zining hurriedly took the chopsticks, took a bite, and said in surprise: "Is it still hot?"
Chen Mengning smiled and said, "There is a piece of silver charcoal at the bottom of the food box, and it will be hot for a day when it is left."
Chen Zining tasted each dish first. The taste was either rich and tender, or sweet, crisp and refreshing. It was full of color, fragrance and taste, but I don’t know what each dish is? What is its name?
He smiled and said, "You asked me, a wild boy, to taste these delicacies, but it was a pearl that was secretly cast."
After Chen Zining went down the mountain, he only had a few meals at Huizhen Building in the college and Wanfu Building in the city. He saw some exquisite dishes, but he didn't pay attention to them every time, so he recognized these exquisite delicacies.
Chen Mengning first filled the wine cup, drank a cup with Chen Zining, and took out a pair of chopsticks to share dinner, and replied: "When you are so happy, the plain rice is better than the delicacies of mountains and seas. When you are not happy, the delicacies of mountains and seas are worse than the plain rices of mountains and seas."
Chen Zining was about to answer when suddenly several brilliant fireworks exploded in the night sky on Mingzhu Lake, followed by several more. Such continuousness attracted cheers from the boats on the lake.
Chen Zining saw the launch of the fireworks, on a huge building boat not far away, and smiled and said, "This is the sky-summer fireworks made by the Zhao family in Yuyang, right? This is the Zhao family's unique business. I heard that every one of them is The money is very valuable, and I don’t know which rich man is spending money.”
The fireworks soared into the sky lasted for a quarter of an hour, spending at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins. In the end, hundreds of fireworks rushed into the night sky, forming eight shining big words on the night sky - "I wish Fairy Chen all her wishes come true! ”
This time, fireworks illuminated the entire Pearl Lake, and even the residents in the city near the shore were alarmed.
Chen Zining smiled and said, "This person has taken great pains. After tonight, Fairy Chen's name will definitely spread throughout Tsinghua City."
Chen Mengning's face was not filled with joy, and she said lightly: "It's better not to have such a frivolous and frivolous name."
At this time, the five-story boat had approached the boat, and a clear voice came from the bow: "Meng Ning, today is your auspicious day of birthday. Song Qingyuan here wishes you a beautiful and beautiful flower blossoms and a bright star. ”
Chen Zining and Chen Mengning walked onto the deck, and Song Qingyuan said in a surprised tone: "So Junior Chen is here too? All of them are invited. Song has invited many classmates and friends, all waiting to honor the birthday star with a glass of wine."
Chen Zining looked at his spiritual consciousness and said, "Senior Song has been promoted to the realm of Wuzong, which is a joyful congratulation!"
Song Qingyuan said: "But how old I am, I am not as good as Senior Chen's name Yang Jiguang Ding. It is stronger than the three major sects and two major families. Come up quickly."
Chen Zining and Chen Mengning looked at each other and drove the boat over. Song Qingyuan's identity was extraordinary. His father Song Lingxiao was the commander of the Tiger Army, the first army in the south, and his grandfather Song Congzhe was the Minister of War. His mother's family was also a wealthy family. , not someone who can refuse casually.
Then a gangway was placed on the building. When the boat approached the shadow of the building, Chen Mengning suddenly whispered: "Zi Ning, if Song Qingyuan wants to give the most expensive gift, you must help me overwhelm him."
Chen Zining was about to ask questions, but saw that Chen Mengning had already started climbing the ladder, so he had to swallow it back into his stomach.
