Chapter 213 - Lake Tour (2/2)

“Qian Jing Han must know what Heaven’s Tear Heart is, so Qian Jing Han wouldn’t easily tell others. The easier something is obtained, the less it is treasured. So brother Wu An did this, not only didn’t he push Qian Jing Han away, instead he attracted her even more!” Lan You Nian analyzed, knowing the reasoning behind Jing Wu An’s rejection. She had to admit Jing Wu An was smart to be able to make such a decision in a matter of seconds.

As Lan You Nian had expected, Qian Jing Han looked at Jing Wu An in admiration, “Since young master isn’t willing, this young miss won’t force you. However, this young miss wishes to invite young master to drink tea. Is young master willing?” Qian Jing Han’s attitude made many people feel the sun came out from the west that Qian family’s second young miss could actually be respectable.

Jing Wu An spared a glance at the second floor, answering, “Yes, but it should be this young master treating young miss to tea. How can I let a young lady treat me?”

Jing Wu An knew when to advance and retreat with his attitude, making Qian Jing Han like him even more. Qian Jing Han felt if she married such a man, it wouldn’t be so bad. Even if this man is only a guard, even if this master didn’t have a tremendous family wealth.

Lan You Nian knew from Qian Jing Han’s expression that Jing Wu An really has successfully seduced this arrogant woman. Lan You Nian said to Yu Liu Li, “We’ll be going now. Brother Liu Li you must keep an eye on brother Wu An!”

Saying this, Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan disappeared in the tea shop to enjoy their two-person world. As for Jing Wu An, they trusted him to manage it. If he couldn’t even handle such small affairs, he would have been a military strategist in vain.

Leaving the tea shop, Feng Yi Xuan took Lan You Nian to a spot above Jiangnan’s famous river. Floating on the river were several beautiful luxury boats hung up with red muslin curtains. If a luxury boat was hung with red, it belonged to well-known brothel courtesans while the boats hung with curtains of other colors belonged to those sons of wealthy families.

Feng Yi Xuan took Lan You Nian to the riverside, stopping by a very stunning boat. The boat was carved with exquisite flower patterns. The entire boat was pure white and flawless, appearing very aristocratic.

Lan You Nian walked up the boat, noticing An Yi them were already waiting there. Lan You Nian asked, smiling, “You’ve already prepared this a while ago?” Jiangnan was a water town. If one didn’t come to Jiangnan to take a boat trip on the lake, it would be a pity. Lan You Nian, though she knew of it, didn’t mention it. She didn’t expect Feng Yi Xuan to be so considerate.

Feng Yi Xuan nodded. When his Nian Nian came to Jiangnan, he already asked his subordinates what was fun in Jiangnan. Naturally, he was made aware of the pleasures of a boat trip on the lake. So, he had them buy a luxury boat and redecorate it. Feng Yi Xuan looked it over and was full of praises for An Yi their ability.

Walking into the luxury boat, the inside was carpeted with a thick layer of soft carpeting. Lan You Nian felt very comfortable walking on it. Inside, there was a guqin (seven-stringed zither). Though it couldn’t compare to the Gentle Water Zither Feng Yi Xuan had gifted her, it was still a rare to behold zither.

Lan Qu and Lan Wu stood by a low couch, preparing fruits and some snacks, making Lan You Nian peckish.

Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian to sit on the couch, overlooking the bustling boats of all colors on the lake. The mirror-like lake surface was full of ripples. The breeze blew over it and one could smell the lake water. From the brothel boats came the elegant sounds of music playing.

“Young miss, do you know? I looked around. Our boat is the most beautiful!” Lan Wu declared proudly. She’s been to Jiangnan with young miss. At that time, they were here on business. From far away, they took a look at the beautiful luxury boats and liked it very much. They didn’t expect their own boat was so outstanding.

“Yeah, young miss, you don’t know, when Lan Wu and I were on the boat, how many people’s looked on jealously outside, hating they couldn’t drag us off!” Lan Qu said casually. Jiangnan’s scenery was worthy of praise. It made people want to linger here and never leave.

Lan You Nian leaned against Feng Yi Xuan’s shoulder, listening to Lan Wu and Lan Qu’s chatter and laughter. She accompanied them in laughter. The boat was covered up by white muslin. Surprisingly, one couldn’t see anything from outside while Lan You Nian could clearly see the scenery outside from her spot.

But not everything beautiful in the world will be appreciated by others. Many more want to covet…

“Master, there are two boats slowly approaching!” An Yi came in from outside.

Lan You Nian, hearing this, stood up and came over to the curtains to look at the two approaching boats. One boat was hung with red muslin. A woman stood outside the boat. From a distance, Lan You Nian couldn’t see the woman’s looks clearly but from how many young masters shot looks in that direction, she knew this courtesan was famous in Jiangnan.

The other boat was very luxurious. It was comparable to their own boat. Several men dressed as family retainers stood outside the boat. From one look, Lan You Nian knew the person sitting in the boat was a person of high standing and power.

“No need to mind them!” Feng Yi Xuan came over to Lan You Nian to drag Lan You Nian back, carefully peeling grapes for Lan You Nian, not at all concerned with the happenings outside.
