C71 Lotus Harvester

Lin Zhi had arrived together with her uncle's younger sister, a girl named Lin Long. Cui Yingtong, on the other hand, brought the young miss of the Marquis Mansion of Peace Country, Rongyue.

There were still a lot of people who were worried when they came out to play today. Su Mingyue saw Hereditary Prince and Rongqian from the Marquis Mansion of Ning Country, as well as Young Noble from the Cui Family and the Lin Family.

Su Mingqian and the others had been leathery since they were young. Naturally, a small lotus pond couldn't attract them, so they rested in a small hut beside the lotus pond.

This hut should have been built by the farmers while watching over the lotus pond. It didn't have any function of shielding them from the wind and the rain, but at least it was able to block out the sun in the sky.

After repeatedly warning them to be careful of their safety and having the servants take good care of them, Su Mingqian and the others returned to the hut to chat after seeing them leave.

Su Mingyue and Su Mingyue boarded the largest boat with Aunt Li supporting them. Lin sisters boarded the boat with Cui Yingtong and Rongyue. Both of them were watched by skilled servants.

At this point, Su Mingyue finally truly understood what it meant to have endless blue lotus petals, bright red lotus flowers, and compared to the lotus flowers here, the ones in Jing'an Marquis Mansion, the ones in the imperial garden, and even the ones in the manor, all seemed like they were playing around. The lotus flowers here were all natural, some were waiting to be released, while others were only half-opened.

Compared to the lotus flowers, the lotus leaves were completely colorless. Each lotus leaf was like a jade plate, slim and graceful, not spreading at all, standing beside the lotus flowers to shield them from the wind and rain.

Everyone was the eldest daughter of the dean. When had they ever seen such a beautiful scene? The surprise on her face couldn't even be hidden. Even Lin Zhi, who had always been calm, bent down and gave her a palm of water.

"Miss Lin, be careful." The woman on the boat quickly reminded him.

The people on the ship were all the eldest miss, and each one of them had an incomparably honorable identity. If something were to happen, then they really couldn't afford to wait.

"Everyone, be careful. This lotus flower is an untainted flower. If it fell down, just taking a few gulps of water would be fine. However, this lotus flower will be covered in mud." Su Mingyue also laughed.

"Stop showing off here. You've read too many books. We all know what you're talking about." Cui Yingtong giggled and followed Lin Zhi's example, extending her hand.

The water was cool and refreshing, so comfortable that it felt like they were stretching their feet down. However, Cui Yingtong also knew that her actions were out of line. Su Mingyue and the others would definitely stop her, so they had no choice but to give up.

Cui Yingtong was in the middle of having fun when the boat suddenly moved. Cui Yingtong almost fell off the boat. Luckily, Rongyue, who was beside her, pulled her.

"Are you alright?" Su Mingyue hurriedly asked. She didn't expect her words to be so accurate. Just as she said Cui Yingtong, something happened. Su Mingyue couldn't help but regret. She shouldn't have made a joke about this.

Cui Yingtong had always been brave, and she didn't fall down. She just smiled and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Luckily, Ah Yue's hands were quick. Otherwise, she would have really gone down to feed the fishes."

Hearing this, everyone laughed, Aunt Li also laughed and said: "Ladies, don't worry, this lotus pond isn't that deep. If you fall in, you will be covered in mud, so there won't be any danger."

Even if there was any danger, they would rush over to save them. They wouldn't let anything happen to these few young madams.

It was one thing to enjoy the scenery, but the most important thing was to satisfy Cui Yingtong's desire.

Su Mingyue and the rest naturally wouldn't harvest lotus roots, but Aunt Li and the others were experienced people with scythes on the ship. Under the guidance of Aunt Li and the others, they quickly learnt it.

After playing around for two hours, they still didn't have the intention to go back. In the end, Su Mingqian and some other people came over to urge them to go back, so they instructed the girls to turn around and go back. When they got back, they would also play while walking, but when they arrived at the lotus pond, the sky was already dark.
