437 Refused to Admit That He Was a Greedy Gut
She looked up and saw that people had begun to release their lotus lanterns into the Moonlight Lotus Pond. Shouts were heard in succession. It seemed like someone’s lotus lantern had sunk while another had drifted too far.
Qian Jiyun followed her gaze. As expected, more and more people gathered around the Moonlight Lotus Pond.
“I think so. There are many people now. We’ll go later.”
In reality, he had instructed someone to book a small boat at the Moonlight Lotus Pond early in the morning. When there were fewer people, they could sit in the boat to release the lotus lanterns and avoid being disturbed by others.
Of course, he would not include this irksome person in front of him. He would not even include Yu Yan’er. Whoever brought her here should be responsible for her.
“I’ve rented a boat. It’ll be here in half an hour.”
An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows. She did not expect him to rent a boat.
“A lotus boat?” she asked.
She had seen a large boat at the Moonlight Lotus Pond. However, it was only meant for sightseeing. Releasing lotus lanterns from it was impossible because it was too tall.
Lotus boats were small boats. One could sit in it and touch the water by stretching one’s arm. It was easy to place the lotus lanterns on the water and enjoy the night scene.
She also had a boat in her space, but it was a yacht that could only seat four people. It required gasoline and was not appropriate to be taken out in a crowded place.
“Yes.” Qian Jiyun nodded and patted Zheng’er on the head. “I heard the lotus seeds in the Moonlight Lotus Pond taste good. We can pick some later. The two greedy guts will definitely like them.”
Qian Yizheng’s face flushed red. He refused to admit that he was a greedy gut!
“Uncle Qian, you’re talking nonsense! I don’t like eating!”
Meanwhile, Qian Yirong did not protest. Instead, he looked up and asked his mother, “Mother, what are lotus seeds? Are they delicious?”
An Jiuyue explained, “It’s delicious. You’ve seen lotus flowers before. When their flowers wither, they’ll grow a lotus seed pod with lotus seeds inside. The tender lotus seeds are delicious.”
“Okay, okay.” Qian Yirong understood. “They’re like the lotus seeds you planted, right?”
There were many beautiful lotus flowers planted in his mother’s space. They were even prettier and more colorful than the lotus flowers he had seen earlier.
An Jiuyue remained silent.
How are they the same? The lotus seeds I planted… Fine, I don’t understand either.
Why did the lotus flowers in her space grow in different colors when they were all from the same root?
It was as if she had planted several varieties. Some were pure white, and others were pure pink or pure red. She was fretting over this, and Wei Na did not have an answer for it either.
She felt she should set aside some time to investigate the type of lotus seeds they produced and whether they were poisonous or edible.
“More or less, but you must not eat the lotus seeds I planted,” she reminded them.
It would be disastrous if she put her children in her space and they begged the warrior-servants to pick the lotus seeds for them to eat. She hadn’t looked into them yet. She didn’t want her children to get sick from eating them!
Qian Yizheng blinked and asked, “Why, Mother?”
Can’t the lotus seeds in the space be eaten? But…
