The summer of the eighteenth year of Jingde was very early, and it was just May, and the weather was hot and stuffy. Even the heat-resistant Shen Miaolan couldn't sleep in the heat at noon, and after the sun was slightly westerly, she sent someone to ask Shen Yilan and He Mingyu to take a boat on the lake to cool off.

"Good sister, go yourself. I'm hot and dizzy, and I have to sleep for a while, so as not to go and ask my ancestors to doze off at noon. Shen Yilan was crooked on the soft couch of Hibiscus, sleepy-eyed. No matter how Shen Miaolan pulled, she didn't get up.

Miaolan went to He Mingyu and returned empty-handed, refusing to let Yilan go. "Good sister, I'm so bored by myself. Just go shopping with me. ”

Miao Lan was so delicate, and she looked at it with an aggrieved look, which made people feel pity. Yilan glanced sideways and got up helplessly. Stretched out Kodan's delicate hand and poked Miaolan's forehead, "You girl, you know how to mess around." I'll be with you when I change my clothes. ”

Miaolan stroked her palms, and a good sister coaxed Yilan to change her clothes. He took her hand and walked out.

The lotus flowers on the lake are in full bloom, and the green leaves are delicate. Miaolan and Yilan both wore bibs and stood by the lake. Seeing that the flowers are blooming well, I can't help but feel in a very good mood. Miao Lan proposed, "Let's take a boat together and swim to the depths of the lotus." There are lotus leaves to avoid the sun, and there is a cool lake water, which will definitely eliminate the heat. ”

Yun Ying on the side followed, "By the way, pick some lotus flowers, let's go back and make some lotus cakes to eat." ”

Miao Lan nodded in agreement, "It's also good to boil some lotus porridge to eat." ”

Shen Yilan stretched out her hand and patted Miaolan's palm, "Lotus is cold, and it is not easy for the body to eat more." You shouldn't be so greedy anymore, you still want to eat it in your stomach. Carefully I tell my mother and let her discipline you. ”

Yun Ying knew that she had caused trouble for her girl, so she stuck out her tongue and stepped aside. Miaolan didn't care, "My sister is good at everything, but it's really a headache to love nagging." As he spoke, he took Yilan's hand and walked towards the boat docked on the shore.

A rough woman had already untied the rope and waited for her to be released. Yun Ying and Yun Ge got on the boat first, turned around and reached out to pick up their girl. Miaolan and Yilan stepped forward and one after the other, and they both lifted their skirts and slowly and carefully boarded the boat.

When the two girls and the four maidservants were seated in the boat, the rough maid on the shore let go of the ropes on her hands.

The lark saluted the two of them, which was regarded as a thank-you. The two of them also saluted in response, and sat down in the shade on the side, waiting for the girls to come back and pull the boat.

Miao Lan and Yi Lan sat opposite each other, and on the small table in front of them, snacks and dried fruits were placed on a small diskette. Neither of them had much appetite.

The boat gradually reached the center of the lake, and Yilan said, "The fourth aunt came back with the sixth sister and the fourth brother the day before yesterday. Because of the tiring travel, the old lady exempted them from morning and dusk, and my mother also asked us to go to the fourth room to visit the fourth aunt, and all the courtesy. ”

The fourth aunt in Shen Yilan's mouth is talking about the fourth wife who has been widowed for three years in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. Fourth Uncle Shen is actually the nephew of the old marquis, and he was raised under the knees of the old lady and his wife since he was a child because his parents died early. Uncle Shen loves to travel, and spends most of the year traveling in the mountains and rivers, and three years ago he accidentally stumbled when climbing the mountain, fell off the cliff, and his bones were found beyond recognition. Because of the close-fitting jade pendant on his body, this confirmed his identity.

As soon as the fourth uncle Shen died, the fourth aunt could not bear the blow, so she took a pair of children out of the house to guard filial piety in the ancestral tomb. That's three years.

In the memory of the original owner, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt don't have too much information, and they think they have a very shallow relationship. "What should I send?" asked Miaolan, raising an eyebrow.

"Just give your younger siblings some food and toys. Yilan replied lazily, because she was still a little sleepy, so she gently leaned on her sister's shoulder. "I'm sleeping with my eyes closed, so don't miss the time to go back and say goodbye to my grandmother. ”

"I see. Shen Miaolan moved her body and found a comfortable position to sit down. put down the light veil on her sister's hat, and made a silent gesture to the laughing Yun Ying and Yun Wu.

The boat sailed quietly into the depths of the lotus, and gradually stopped at a place where it found excellent shade. Miao Lan also tilted her head and leaned on her sister's head, sniffing the flowers, and gradually closed her eyes.

Just as Miaolan was about to fall asleep in a daze, she heard an unreal sound floating out of the lotus flowers. Miaolan subconsciously pricked up her ears and motioned to the lark who was shaking the fan for her to stop and listen together.

"Didn't you say that you were going to leave the Hou Mansion with the child, why are you going to go and come back now?" A low voice with a slight anger came, and Shen Miaolan subconsciously covered her mouth that was almost exclaimed.

This voice is too familiar, which one is not Shen Erbo?

For a while, the spirits of the people on the entire boat were highly tense, and Yilan, who had been pretending to sleep, also slowly sat up straight. The two sisters looked at each other in shock.

Miao Lan stretched out her hand and made a gesture of pressing down, signaling Yilan to be calm and continue to listen.

On the other side of the lotus bush, Shen Erbo was sitting in a brownstone-colored thin silk summer shirt, looking at the young woman sitting opposite with a thin anger on his face.

The woman was none other than Mrs. Shen Si, who had just returned home. She was wrapped in a dark green thin gown with plum blossoms, and looked at Shen Erbo with her head tilted her head and looked at Shen Erbo with a smile. The voice was soft and soft, with a bit of coldness. "The second uncle laughed, this is my husband's family, where am I going if I don't bring my children here?"

Shen Erbo's brows frowned slightly, and the frost on his face was even worse. "What exactly do you want?"

"What do you want?" The fourth lady sneered, slowly approached Shen Erbo, and when the four eyes were level and only one ** was left, she asked lightly, "Erlang doesn't know what I want?"

The approach of the fourth wife carried a fragrance of its own. Shen Erbo slowly closed his eyes, slowly wrapped his hands around her waist, and his lips lightly touched the other party's lips.

What the hell is this?! Shen Miaolan, who was overcome by curiosity, had just opened the stacked lotus leaves when she saw such a picture. I really want to poke my eyes out. But damn it, this forbidden picture didn't take her eyes off at all. She could only hold her breath, and waved her hand without squinting, signaling Shen Yilan to join the voyeur ranks.

Shen Erbo's ears moved slightly with the rustle of lotus leaves, and he gently let go of the fourth wife. Rubbing his fingers against his lips that still had the remaining fragrance, he stared at the fourth lady and said, "You want this?"

The fourth lady tilted her head with three points of anger, five points of charm and two points of contentment, looking at Shen Erbo while straightening her hair that was a little messy. "Don't you think Jiro is giving too little? ”

Shen Erbo smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I haven't seen you for three years, Mei Niang is becoming more and more greedy." ”

The fourth lady pursed her lips, and with a little shyness, she reached out and slowly stroked Shen Erbo's eyebrows, nose and lips in turn. "Brother Han is now more and more like the second uncle. ”
