Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep.

Rong Zheng heard the laughter of his half-sister Rong Sheng, which fell like a silver bell in the cabin. The heart is a child, such a joy.

Mu Baowen watched as the last glimmer of light disappeared into the dark night sky, and the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke. She suddenly said: "Good looking is good-looking, but it's a pity that it's too short-lived." ”

Rong Zheng nodded with honor.

At this moment, there are also several water lanterns swaying on the water surface, and the flowing water floats like the Milky Way falling.

Rong Xiao and the second and third ladies of the Qi family came over, each holding a lotus lantern in their hands.

"Third sister, do you want to put one?"

Rong Zheng nodded and said, "Release, naturally I want to release." ”

Mu Baowen smiled when he saw this lotus lantern: "In the middle of July, the water lantern was released, but I didn't expect that the Lantern Festival would also start to release the water lantern." ”

Rong Zheng asked people to take a lamp for Mu Baowen. She helped Mu Baowen light the candle. Mu Baowen walked to the bow of the boat, bent down and gently placed the water lantern on the water. The lotus lantern slowly drifted away with the water waves.

The other sisters also came and put the lotus lanterns.

Rong Zheng was the last to put the lamp, and the wish she made was about the pair of children in her previous life.

The painting boat went all the way to the east, and after crossing the Xingguosi Bridge, it was the state bridge. There were more and more pleasure boats on the water, and I couldn't hear the singing of women from one boat, accompanied by the laughter of the men during the drinking order, perhaps from a brothel in some brothel.

The mother-in-law scalded the wine, Rong Zheng invited the sisters to sit, and everyone drank a cup of pear blossom white together.

Yun Xia pulled Rong Zheng and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disturb you for one night tonight." ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "Don't worry, I have already arranged it." She turned her head again to ask Mu Baowen, but Mu Baowen said, "You don't care about me, when you get to the shore in a while, someone from our family will come to pick me up." ”

Rong Zheng had long noticed that in addition to the two small boats of their Rong family's guards, there was also a grasshopper boat that had been following them from afar. Although Rong Zheng didn't ask, she had already guessed that it might be someone from the palace who was sent to protect Mu Baowen.

After crossing the state bridge, you can see the Great Xiangguo Temple in the distance. Rong Zheng couldn't help but think of the glazed tower. At this moment, I heard the Zen bell ringing in the temple, and it was very loud.

Rong Yun and Yun Xian play chess, this chess piece can be attached to the chessboard, but it is not afraid of slipping down when shaking. Rong Xiao watched from the side. Rong Sheng and the sixth lady of the Qi family, Yun Hong, played together. The laughter was heard quickly.

The nurse was afraid that Rong Sheng's laughter would be too noisy, which would make Rong Zheng unhappy, and repeatedly told Rong Sheng in her ear: "My young lady, don't be so loud." ”

Rong Sheng was like a little adult, twisted his head and said to the nurse: "Can't I laugh if I can't laugh?" ”

"It's not that you can't laugh...... "The nurse said that she was a little afraid that Rong Zheng would be angry. Don't look at Rong Zheng's young age, she used to make a name for herself, and she beat and scolded the maid with her own hands, and it is said that the people who served in Rong Zheng's house were afraid of her. Thinking of this, the nurse couldn't help but glance at Rong Zheng, who was talking to the third miss of the Mu family.

Rong Zheng seemed to feel that someone was looking at her, and turned her head and looked at the nurse. The nurse hurriedly dodged. This situation fell in Rong Zheng's eyes, thinking that she was so afraid of what she would do. She didn't put on a straight face to train people. Or is she weak-hearted and has done something wrong?

But she didn't bother to ask about the things around Rong Sheng.

Mu Baowen and Rong Zheng talked about what they had seen and heard in Beijing, and Rong Zheng listened to it with relish, and occasionally echoed two sentences.

Speaking of the back, Rong Zheng couldn't help but ask: "I heard that the third lady has Zhang Qingchun's law post there, isn't it?" ”

Mu Baowen smiled: "It turns out that you also know this Zhang Qingchun." ”

Rong Zheng hurriedly said: "I just started to learn calligraphy, and I heard about this Mrs. Zhang. ”

Mu Baowen smiled: "Her name is very loud in Beijing. I'm going to have someone send you one another day? ”

Rong Zheng hurriedly said: "Then I will thank Miss San, and I will send it to Miss San immediately after I finish." ”

"It's out of the way." Mu Baowen smiled.

Rong Zheng has not found a chance to ask the princess about her plans again, Mu Baowen is reluctant to mention it, it is likely that there are two reasons, one is that Mu Baowen does not know much about the situation inside; Second, she knew the situation, but she was not easy to speak, and there was something difficult in it. No matter what the reason, Rong Zheng didn't get the answer he wanted, and he was a little disappointed.

Rong Zheng went to the stern to breathe, wanting to be alone for a while. She lifted the curtain and saw Luo Liang's boat following them closely. Luo Liang stood at the bow of the boat, talking to a small servant.

She remembered the figure of the little guy, it was Xiao Lu, the son of Xiao Wang.

Xiao Lu saw Rong Zheng squeezing at her, and Luo Liang had already hugged her fist. Rong Zheng nodded.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of water not far away, as if someone had fallen into the water.

Rong Zheng thought, could it be that the people on the bridge were too anxious, and someone was squeezed into the water? After all, this is a major matter of human life, she didn't see it, and if she saw it, she had to save it. However, before she could speak, she saw Xiao Lu stabbed down and swam towards the place where the sound came from.

It looks like someone really has fallen overboard.

Rong Zheng glanced at Luo Liang, and Luo Liang understood that he hugged his fists and said to Rong Zheng: "Third Miss, please rest assured, the old slave will take care of this matter." ”

Rong Zheng naturally reassured him. Luo Liang has been an errand in the Rong family for more than 20 years, and has never been on a business trip. I once followed my third uncle to Quanzhou. It is said that there was almost an accident when she went to Quanzhou that time, if it weren't for Luo Liang, I was afraid that her third uncle would not be able to come back. There is nothing uneasy about having such a slave Rong Zheng. Thinking that there was a group of young ladies in the ship, he was afraid of frightening them, so he kept silent until he figured out what was going on.

After a while, Rong Di came and said to Rong Zheng, "Are you still angry with me?" ”

Rong Zheng glanced at her with some confusion and shook his head.

Rong Di said: "We will leave the day after tomorrow, and you should be angry if you have any anger." By the way, do you have any money on you? ”

Rong Zheng was surprised, daring Rong Di to say such a long sentence just now, just to ask her to borrow money? She didn't ask Rong Di what to do with the money, and without saying a word, she gave Rong Di a purse on her waist.

Seeing that Rong Zheng was so happy, Rong Di smiled with relief: "Go back and return you." So saying, he went to the front.

Rong Di borrowed money, and Qi Yunxia, Mu Baowen, and Rong Xiao touched the dominoes, leaving her alone.

She leaned on the beauty and looked outside, and it didn't take long for her to see Luo Liang waving his hand to Rong Zheng, and she knew that someone had been rescued, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, she heard a whimpering sound in the distance. Its voice is earnest, tactful and low, giving people a sense of cold and loneliness, which is incompatible with the hustle and bustle of tonight. Rong Zheng secretly thought that the person who played the flute might be a lonely person like her.
