Chapter 105 – Meeting Chu Lan Again

Jue Xie smiled brightly, looking at the tea bag Wei Ruo had placed on the table, although he hadn’t tasted it yet, he already felt that it must be very sweet and delicious.

After the tea cooled a bit, Xie Ying sipped it, then praised, “Ruo Ruo, you are truly a treasure chest!”

Jue Xie also smiled while sipping his tea.

The three of them sat inside the tea room drinking tea and eating refreshments.

That’s when another cruise ship approached the one they were traveling on.

Jue Xie alertly had his underlings lower the gauze curtains and came to the bow himself.

Only to see that standing on the approaching cruise ship were two of his old acquaintances – Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong.

“Brother Chu, Brother Lu.” Jue Xie clasped his fists and greeted the two.

“Brother Xie you are really unkind, sneaking out to play by yourself without us! If it wasn’t for the fact that Brother Chu and I just happened to come for a boat trip, we wouldn’t have known that your kid even ran to the East Lake alone!” Lu Yuhong clasped his hands on his chest and said with a disgruntled expression.

It’s that resentment from the shiitake sauce that hasn’t died down yet!

“Forgive me, brother Lu, today I was accompanying my sister out for a swim, that’s why I didn’t notify you two kind brothers.” Jue Xie hurriedly explained.

“From what I can see, Brother Xie is not taking Sister She on a trip, but is hiding a woman in a golden house.” Chu Lan had sharp eyes, and just now saw the figures of two women at the moment the gauze curtains were lowered on Xie Jue’s ship.

Jue Xie only had one sister, and if one of them was his sister, then the other was bound to be a lady from another family.

At these words, Jue Xie’s face stagnated, and he begged for mercy with some embarrassment, “Brother Chu, just spare me, this must not be spoken of, don’t ruin the human girl’s reputation.”

Lu Yuhong instantly became energized, “Brother Xie, it’s fine if you want to seal the mouth, you have to give me some benefits.”

Jue Xie busily said, “Some other day I’ll host a banquet at the Drunken Immortal Residence for Brother Lu ……”

Lu Yuhong interrupted Jue Xie, “Drunken Immortal Residence isn’t rare, it’s open right there, when you want to eat you can go, it’s not like I don’t have silver.”

Chu Lan said nonchalantly, “If I’m not wrong, the person on Brother Xie’s ship should be the Wei Family’s eldest miss.”

It wasn’t hard to guess, because Jue Xie’s sister didn’t have many friends who got along well, and yesterday they saw the Wei family’s carriage coming to the capital, so the person on the boat traveling with Xie’s siblings was in all likelihood the Wei family’s eldest daughter.

Jue Xie paused and said in a pleading tone, “Brother Chu, please don’t guess, don’t ruin someone’s reputation.”

Lu Yuhong, on the other hand, said from the sidelines, “Is that the Wei family’s eldest lady who can farm and make mushroom sauce?”

Jue Xie didn’t admit it, but he didn’t dare deceive Chu Lan into denying it either.

Seeing him like this, he knew the answer was yes.

Lu Yuhong said, “Jue Xie, you’re looking down on us, we’re not that long-winded, who’s going to talk about this, besides, aren’t there a whole bunch of servants following us? It’s broad daylight and a clear sky, what are you afraid of if you don’t have a ghost in your heart?”

Chu Lan also said: “Indeed there is no need to be so vigilant, I and Miss Wei is also considered acquaintance, the matter of the south of the city I also very much admire Miss Wei, today here are my people, no one dares to talk nonsense, you can rest assured that the cabin in the Miss Wei and Miss Xie can also rest assured.”

Wei Ruo in the cabin has heard the conversation outside, the heart is not willing to go out to meet with Chu Lan, but have been recognized by the other side, can not hide.

In his heart, he secretly poked and prodded and spat out, “What’s up with this Chu Lan? Shouldn’t he be busy? Why does he come under her nose day after day? Can he still be the Crown Prince if he is so unprofessional?

Xie Ying came out of the cabin first, knowing that the other party was the Seventh Prince, Xie Ying didn’t dare to be reckless, and respectfully said, “Greetings to Duke Chu and Duke Lu.”

Seeing this, Wei Ruo had no choice but to follow out of the cabin and then greeted as well.

The whole time Wei Ruo hung her head down and didn’t look at Chu Lan.

“Ms. Wei doesn’t seem very willing to see me.” Chu Lan acutely sensed something.

“Mr. Chu’s heart is for the people, and he has done so many good things for the people in Xing Shan County, my daughter’s heart is very respectful and grateful to Mr. Chu, and there is absolutely no reluctance to see it.” Wei Ruo hurriedly denied it.

Mind: I just don’t want to see you, you were the one who ordered me to be killed in your previous life, do you still want me to be grateful to you?

Then there was silence and a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Xie Ying looked at the situation and tried to change the subject to ease the awkwardness, she said to Xie Jue, “Brother, I want to fish. I’ve heard that there are so many delicious fish in this East Lake, I want to try and see if I can catch them.”

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious to eat, Lu Yuhong was energized: ”Is that so? Then I’d like to give it a try. Maybe I can catch anchovies!”

“Brother Lu, shad aren’t found in just any lake, they generally only live in large rivers, and are mostly absent from this East Lake.” Jue Xie explained.

“Then what kind of fish are in this lake?” Lu Yuhong asked.

“The common fish like silver carp, bighead carp, crucian carp and grass carp are bound to be there, black carp and perch should be there as well, and I don’t know if there’s any chance of catching the meaty Mandarin fish, plus I think the yellow chili peppers would be good as well.” Jue Xie said.

“Alright, then I’ll rush for the Mandarin fish you mentioned!” Lu Yuhong immediately turned around and ordered his subordinates to go prepare the fishing rods and other things needed for fishing for himself.

Wei Ruo listened to what Jue Xie said about the varieties of fish in the lake, thinking that she hadn’t eaten grilled fish in a long time, she was a bit giddy.

It just so happens that before leaving the house today, Wei Ruo brought a few bottles of seasoning, and originally thought that if there was an opportunity, he would look for people from the Drunken Immortal Residence to market his seasoning, and see if there was a chance to sell it for a high price.

“Then you guys fish, I’ll be in charge of helping you roast the fish.” Wei Ruo said.

“I’ll do the fishing then, Ruo Ruo you wait, I’ll catch a fat one for you to roast!” Xie Ying was full of confidence.

“Roasted fish is good, I also want to try Ms. Wei’s roasted fish, I don’t know if I have the taste for it?” Lu Yuhong’s cravings were already stirring.

Someone who can make a delicious mushroom sauce can’t make a bad grilled fish, I guess?

Seeing this, Jue Xie could only look to Chu Lan, this matter still had to depend on the seventh prince’s meaning, if he didn’t agree, it would be useless for others to be more energized.

“I want to try it too.” Chu Lan looked quite interested as well.

Since the Seventh Prince had taken a stand, there was nothing more to say.

Jue Xie immediately ordered his own people to make the arrangements, then turned his head to ask Wei Ruo, “If Miss Wei has anything she needs, let me know and I’ll have them go and get it all together.”

“Good.” Wei Ruo immediately went back to the cabin and wrote a list out.

The stove and charcoal needed to grill the fish are on board and do not need to be purchased, but you will need to purchase some side dishes and a pot.

It didn’t take long for a subordinate to deliver the fishing gear first, the

Jue Xie waited for the two ships to get close together and went to Chu Lan Lu Yuhong’s ship.

In this way, one for the men and one for the women, slightly separated by some distance, and then even if they were seen, they would not cause gossip.
