33. Chapter XXXII
I don't know if it was because he was taken aback, or because the night was cold, Jiang Ling couldn't help but shudder. Zhou Chengzhi's brows furrowed even deeper, he took off the cloak on his back and surrounded her, and pointed to the canopy of the boat: "Sit inside." ”
The boat swayed, the lake was deep, and Jiang Ling didn't dare to stand on the bow of the boat all the time, wrapped in a cloak that still carried his breath, and carefully got into the cabin behind him.
When Agui saw the third prince arrive, he was so frightened that his hand holding the oars trembled, and he didn't dare to speak until the small boat was rowed a few feet away by him, and then he said with a bitter face: "Third prince, I really don't know that the prince is on that boat, how are we going to find it?" ”
Zhou Chengzhi's expression under the moonlight was as deep as water, and he glanced at him lightly: "If you don't report it, what should you be guilty of?" ”
Agui said: "But the prince told me not to speak, how dare I not listen to a subordinate!" ”
"If you don't dare not listen to the prince's words, you will dare not listen to my words, right?"
His voice was cold, and even though he was only fifteen years old, he was extremely terrifying.
"The little ones don't dare!" Ah Gui shuddered in fright, his hand shook, and the boat shook violently.
Jiang Ling poked out a small face from the cabin and said angrily: "Agui is a subordinate of the Jiang Mansion, so you don't scare him if you know brother." ”
Zhou Chengzhi chuckled and turned her head to look at her, she held her head high, her plain face, under the reflection of the moonlight and the fishing fire in the distance, eight points of innocence and two points of cunning.
I don't know if it was because of the sound of the flower boat in the distance, and an evil fire suddenly rose under him, burning his mouth dry. He didn't dare to look at her anymore, so he pretended to be cold and said, "I'm a prince." Don't say it's the subordinate of Jiangfu, it's the daughter of Jiangfu, I can do whatever I want. ”
If it was Zhou Chengzhi, who she knew in her previous life, Jiang Ling would definitely be a little afraid when she heard his words, but at this time, although Zhou Chengzhi was a disciple, he was far from becoming evil. She wasn't afraid of him.
She sneered: "What's wrong with the prince?" Haven't you heard that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people? ”
Zhou Chengzhi smiled behind her back: "Then tell me what law I violated?" ”
Jiang Ling thought of all his things during the day, and snorted: "What an obscene embryo does is also called a crime." ”
She didn't say that it was okay, but when she said it, Zhou Chengzhi remembered the feeling of him holding her hand and occasionally rubbing it between the ends of her hair. I didn't have any evil thoughts during the day, I just wanted to tease her, or I was greedy for that little bit of warm beauty. But at this moment, when he tasted it again, it was completely different, as if the warm smell of the sweet fragrance lingered in his nose, and the flame that had just gone down jumped up again.
He shouted in a deep voice: "Don't speak! ”
Jiang Ling heard that his tone was wrong, thinking that what he said was too true, which made him unhappy, although what she said was true, but she didn't want to see him unhappy. This reluctance has changed from the fear that he would become evil because of it, to the current habit of course.
She pursed her lips and muttered, "I don't blame you for anything, what kind of mad are you angry with." ”
Zhou Cheng knew that she had misunderstood herself, so she sighed hard, and said with some tears and laughter: "I'm not angry, let you be talked, because I'm afraid that I will be stirred up by you, and I missed the eldest brother and their ship." ”
Ah Gui, who was holding the boat, was frightened, and when he saw the two masters, he didn't know what to say, and when he heard this, he had the courage to speak: "Third prince, how are we going to find it?" ”
Zhou Cheng knew: "If I let you get close, you will get close." ”
Ah Gui was puzzled: "Don't you need to go to see them one by one?" ”
Zhou Cheng knew: "No need." When the prince got on the ship, he would definitely charter a whole ship, and if there were other men on the boat who were looking for pleasure, it would definitely not be. ”
Ah Gui nodded like a dog: "The third prince is really wise, and the little one admires." ”
Jiang Ling sneered: "Ah Gui, when did you become so good at sycophancy?" ”
Ah Gui said seriously: "Miss, don't wronged me, what I said is true, the third prince is a fairy-like person, and that wisdom must not be comparable to us ordinary people." ”
This time it wasn't just Jiang Ling, even Zhou Chengzhi sneered, and then shouted lightly: "Row your boat well, less nonsense." ”
The beautiful scenery of the lake, the blur of the night, the wine and the beautiful women, the exquisitely decorated flower boats, enough to raise the staggered liveliness, not inferior to the fireworks and willow alleys in the city, plus a little more elegant artistic conception, it is the favorite place of the nobles and nobles in Yangzhou City.
Zhou Chengzhi stood at the bow of the boat, squinting his eyes, and looked at the passing ships. The shadows of the red lights swaying, and the laughter of all walks of life, made it easy for him to identify whether it was the one he was looking for.
As the boat swam through and went, a beautiful sound of piano and song was heard, and all three people on board were attracted to it. Ah Gui involuntarily rowed the boat to the boat where the voice came.
I saw under the moonlight, a graceful woman wearing a red and gorgeous dress, sitting on the deck of the tall flower boat, she held the pipa in her hand, and was playing a midnight song, the voice of the chant was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, the aftermath was lingering, but with a trace of sorrow, people couldn't help but be moved.
Ah Gui, who was rowing, stopped the wood pulp in his hand and looked straight up not far away, as if his soul had been hooked.
Jiang Ling was also moved by that voice, and poked his head out to look over. I saw that the woman was finishing a song, holding the pipa and bowing slightly, and saluted a few men in brocade clothes who were sitting and drinking on the deck.
When he got up, he seemed to notice that a ship was coming not far from the bottom of the boat, and turned his head to look at the small awning boat.
When the full moon is in the sky, the red light floats. Jiang Ling saw the woman's appearance clearly.
She has lived for two lives, and she has been in the deep palace for several years, and she has seen countless beauties. But I have never seen a woman like that on the boat, not that she is amazing, but the temperament that comes out of the painting, the red lips are slightly pointed, and the eyebrows are light, as if the fairy daughter has descended to earth.
The woman's gaze fell on the man dressed in white at the bow of the boat. Under the night, Zhou Chengzhi, who is tall and handsome, can be seen by anyone at a glance.
The woman hugged the pipa and bowed slightly, which was regarded as greeting him, Zhou Chengzhi nodded expressionlessly.
Ah Gui reacted at this time and said, "Third prince, do you want to go up this boat?" ”
Zhou Cheng knew: "No." ”
Agui wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead: "I don't know which courtesan this girl is, the sound of the piano is really amazing." ”
Zhou Chengzhi said lightly: "It's really good." ”
Jiang Ling's gaze fell on him, although he couldn't see his face, he could probably guess that his gaze at this time was still on the flower boat.
She sat back in the cabin, wondering if she hadn't recovered from the woman's piano sound and singing just now, and suddenly felt a little empty in her heart.
When the boat didn't know how far it rowed, he only heard Zhou Cheng on the boat know: "Stop!" ”
"Your Highness, is this the ship?" Agui asked uncertainly.
Jiang Ling poked his head out again to look, and saw several women sitting on the bow of a flower boat a few feet away playing the piano, but there was no listener.
"Don't you see anyone?" Agui asked again.
Zhou Chengzhi said angrily: "I know my second brother best, it must be cold and hiding in the boat to listen!" ”
