There are two painting boats on the dock, the larger one is two stories high, and the railing is carved from a round pole of mahogany, and it is painted with all kinds of patterns and beasts. The window lattices around the pavilion are covered with various colors of light yarn, beaded curtains, and potted flowers are placed under the windows. On the eaves of the top hangs a glazed palace lamp, the high mast of the ship is Gui Ji Lan Jun, and the top of the mast is lightly fluttered with the wind on the Phnom Penh flag with a big "king" word.

More than 20 women from the family boarded the boat with their maids, and the rest took the smaller one next to them.

The painting boat slowly walks towards the center of the lake, Jinyi and Jinru, the two young ladies of the Fan family, Min Zhi and Min Peng, lean on the side of the railing and look at the wind, Taoyuan Island is covered by pink glow, and several carved jade pavilions stand in the middle, like a fairyland on earth.

An Shi walked over with Qin Lian and said to a few people: "Don't lean against the railing of the boat, be careful of falling into the water." ”

Qin Jinxiu, Wang Zichen and the others stood together, called Qin Lian over, and said to her with a smile: "Sister Lian'er didn't say last time that she wanted to raise Zhong Haitang, I see that there are two pots under the window over there, why don't you go over and take a look?" The eldest sister is the best at raising flowers, you go and ask her for advice or two. ”

Qin Lian listened, and looked at An Shi, who had walked to the bow of the boat to laugh and talk with people, and hesitated a little.

Jinxiu laughed softly: "It's so lively today, it's weird that you always follow your mother, you go to see the flowers first, and I'll come to you later." ”

Qin Lian took the little maid Cuizhi to see the flowers, and after a while, she timidly walked to Jinyi's side. Whispered: "Sister Yi." ”

Jin Yi looked back at her and smiled gently. "What's wrong with Sister Poor?" Qin Lian only messed with Qin Xiang in the mansion, she was originally a person who didn't have much opinion. Always cater to the crowd, act according to everyone's eyes, and don't often get close to Jinyi on weekdays.

Qin Xiang didn't come today, she was a little at a loss, seeing that Jin was kind to herself, she whispered shyly: "I want to raise Zhong Haitang, there are two over there, I want my sister to teach me." ”

Jinyi was not as defensive about her as she was about Jinxiu, and she listened to this. He followed her over. The two of them stood there and talked for a while, a maid carrying a big red and gold lacquered tea tray was walking by the side, this deck passage by the window was not spacious, and Jin Yi gave her a step outward.

Who knew that as soon as the maid's feet slipped, the tea tray leaned dangerously towards Jinyi. Jin Yi subconsciously took a step back, and his waist was already on the mahogany railing next to the boat. When she was cautious in her heart, she only felt that the railing behind her was actually alive, and with a little force, her body was already suspended in the air.

If it's someone else. At this point, there must have been nothing to borrow, so he had to fall backwards into the water. But after all, Jin Yi has practiced martial arts, reacts very quickly, and has stabilized her balance with a straight waist. However, two cups of white smoke of hot tea had spilled diagonally from the teapot. said that it was too late, and it was already sprinkled on Jinyi's body.

Qian Mo on the side had already stepped forward and grabbed Jinyi's sleeve with one hand. Sideways with his shoulders to block the tea, and suddenly half of his body was burned by the hot tea. She didn't say a word, but still held on to Jinyi. Brought back her half-suspended body.

The crisp sound of the porcelain cup falling on the deck immediately attracted everyone at the bow of the ship to look back, and they saw that the railing where Jin Yi was leaving was empty, and the several railings connecting the pillars were pouring outward, swaying outside the ship's strings like a half-open door.

Mrs. Lin was greeting guests elsewhere, and when she heard the movement, she hurried over and asked, "Sister Yi'er, are you okay?" ”

Jin Yi's face was slightly gloomy, and he stared at Qin Lian, who was already frightened and stunned on the side, shook his head and did not speak. just turned his head to look at Qian Mo and asked her softly, "How hot is it?" ”

Qian Mo shook his head and said that it was okay, his eyes were only staring at the broken bar.

The maid with the tea tray was kneeling on the ground at this time, trembling all over, "...... Yes, it's the maid's foot slipping for a while......"

Qiao Wei pulled Jin Yi and leaned in again, and also saw that the fracture at the railing of the ship was smooth, thinking that it had been sharpened by an extremely sharp blade from top to bottom, but there was no trace of it, so although it looked no different from other places, it was powerless when people leaned on it.

Mrs. Lin caught a glimpse of the strange appearance at the railing, and her eyes suddenly lit up, because the passage by the window was narrow, and everyone was standing at the bow of the boat, otherwise anyone who leaned on the railing to watch the scenery would have fallen into the water.

She glanced at the smashed teacup and scolded the maid on the ground, "Why did you bring tea from here?" ”

"Son-of-law,...... The maid was going to bring tea to the eldest lady, and because the eldest lady was in a hurry, she thought that she would come around this side closer......" The maid hung her head and replied in a trembling voice.

Mrs. Lynn knew that her boat had been tampered with, and when she heard her say this, she looked back sharply at her daughter. Seeing that she was standing not far away with Huan Yuanyuan, Qin Jinxiu and others, there was a trace of chagrin on her face.

Wang Zichen knew about the last time she met Jinyi on the street. originally felt that her daughter had always acted recklessly, and she might be able to learn some lessons after suffering such a painless loss, but she still reprimanded her.

At this time, he couldn't accuse her in public, so he had to try his best to appease Jinyi, and walked back to the front with a few people to avoid the broken fence, and ordered the two mothers-in-law to guard on both sides of the aisle to prevent people from getting through from here.

If someone falls into the water on their own boat, they must be responsible. The ladies of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion originally adhered to the wishes of the Prime Minister Wang Hao and deliberately drew the relationship between the northern clans in the city, so that this year's peach blossom feast was set in the center of Huayang Lake, and Zhang Luo was very powerful.

Unexpectedly, such a thing happened, fortunately Jinyi did not fall into the water, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to the Qingrong Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Lin took Jinyi's hand and walked aside, and said softly: "Sister Yi, you have to believe that I treat you sincerely, and the people in my family know that you have cured Yuying's illness, and they all praise and admire you." I will definitely find out about this matter, and if it really has something to do with Zichen, I will bring her to make amends to you tomorrow. ”

Although Jin Yi was about to fall into the water just now, he was not frightened. She already knew that there must be Qin Jinxiu's instigation in this matter, and she also knew Wang Zichen's consistent style, but she was suspicious of Qin Lian luring her to go there.

After listening to Mrs. Lin's words, she said gently: "Mrs. Lin's care for Jinyi, Jinyi understands it. The eldest lady has embarrassed me many times, if it is her own idea, I am afraid that she will be used as a gun by others. ”

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she looked back at Qin Jinxiu who was standing next to her daughter, and she felt a little clear in her heart. She had heard about Jinyi's discord with her stepmother, and secretly lamented that her daughter was really ignorant.

An Shi hurried over at this time and asked in a loud voice, "Sister Yi is okay, right?" I also said don't lean on the railing, if you do fall into the lake, the water will be deep. ”

asked Qin Lian, who was panicked on the side, "What are you doing standing there with Sister Yi'er?" ”

Qin Lian snorted, "It was Sister Xiu who asked me to see the hanging bell begonia there, and said that Sister Yi is the best at raising flowers, so let ......me ask her for advice."

Jin Yi raised her eyes lightly and looked at Qin Jinxiu. Qin Jinxiu's expression was calm, and the essence in her eyes flickered to meet her gaze. When she saw the indifferent smile on Jinyi's lips, the composure on her face was a little unbearable, and she twisted her face to the side. (To be continued.) )
