Early in the morning, Chen Huilan and Liu got into a carriage surrounded by a group of servants, and slowly drove towards the Vowel Temple in the west of the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

About half an hour later, I arrived at the temple, burned incense to worship the Buddha and donated sesame oil money, according to the prior arrangement, Chen Huilan took Liu to listen to the lectures of the monks in the temple, and had a light but delicious lunch in the reserved room. Liu was very satisfied when he saw that Chen Huilan had raised a degree and arranged the details properly. After walking around the yard to eliminate food, Chen Huilan persuaded her to go to the rest meeting.

"Mother, go take a nap. It's quiet here, so you can get some rest. ”

Liu smiled and patted her hand and said, "It's okay, I haven't had a good nap for a long time." What about you? Do you want to rest with your mother? ”

Chen Huilan lowered her head and said a little embarrassed: "Mother, I want to go to Slender West Lake to take a look at the scenery." The last time I went out was almost a month ago, and recently my father has been very strict, but I'm afraid that I won't have a chance in the future. ”

Seeing that his daughter's expression was particularly aggrieved, Liu's heart softened, and he thought about it and said, "Okay, Slender West Lake is close to this, you just bring a few more people to follow." But I'll come back sooner, we'll have to go back next day. ”

Chen Huilan said happily: "Thank you, mother! ”

After serving the Liu family, Chen Huilan returned to her room and carefully looked at her outfit in front of the mirror. Today, she deliberately chose a new hibiscus color lake silk butterfly to wear a flower skirt, covered with a smoky purple gauze coat, and a symmetrical emerald dragonfly bead flower between the temples, and jade drop bead earrings on her ears. Dressed up and matched so carefully, even the Liu family praised her a few times. Looking at the extraordinarily soft and delicate face in the mirror, Chen Huilan blushed slightly and was a little proud. I don't know if Jiang Gongzi will be amazed when he sees it? At this time, Xiaolian walked in from outside the house and said, "Miss, it's all ready, it's time to go." ”

Chen Huilan retracted her thoughts and nodded at her: "Then let's go." ”

After a while, a horse-drawn carriage drove out from the side gate of the backyard of the Vowel Temple and headed along a small road towards Slender West Lake.

"Childe, let's go?" Qin Ziming, who was sitting on the wheel, asked.

"Well, let's go." Jiang Qingliu in the car commanded.

"Okay!" Qin Ziming's hand rose and fell, and the horse pulling the cart trotted up.

As always, the number of tourists who come to Slender West Lake to tread the wind is still undiminished. Qin Ziming sent Jiang Qingliu to the agreed location, Wuting Bridge, and went to the dock of the Cao Gang to inquire about the situation first. Jiang Qingliu walked alone towards Wuting Bridge.

Halfway through, Jiang Qingliu walked straight to the shore of the lake, looking through the branches of the green weeping willows, from this angle, the five wind pavilions are like five graceful lotus flowers, and the thick and strong bluestone piers also add a bit of ethereal feeling because of the unique bridge hole design. His gaze turned to the lake, where a small single-story painting boat with carved beams and yellow roofs was moored nearby, and several bamboo-topped canopy boats were also carrying tourists to enjoy the scenery. At this time, a canopy boat docked, and after the tourists on it got off the boat, Jiang Qingliu got on the boat and instructed the boatman to approach the boat.

Xiao Lian, who had been watching from the side of the boat, saw that the boat was approaching, so she hurriedly called someone to bring a wide wooden plank, and after the two boats met, the plank was laid, and Jiang Qingliu stepped on it and got on the painting boat. Xiaolian smiled politely, and brought Jiang Qingliu into the middle of the boat room, Chen Huilan was sitting at the table, when she saw him come in, her eyes lit up, she immediately got up, blessed him, and said with a smile: "Jiang Gongzi, please sit down, Xiaolian will make tea for Gongzi." ”

Jiang Qingliu bowed his head slightly and sat down opposite her. Xiaolian poured tea for him, prepared snacks, and retreated under the signal of Chen Huilan's eyes.

Jiang Qingliu picked up the tea and sniffed it, took a shallow sip, raised his eyebrows and said, "Huangshan Maofeng? ”

Chen Huilan was surprised and surprised: "It is indeed Huangshan Maofeng, and the son actually tasted it at once." Could it be that Gongzi likes to drink this tea on weekdays, so I am really prepared for it today. She covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Not really. It's just that I like to drink green tea on weekdays, and I can naturally distinguish it when I drink too much. Jiang Qingliu said with a smile.

"That's also Childe's keen senses, anyway, I can't drink any difference between these teas." Chen Huilan looked at him with a faint expression, and felt slightly nervous in her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a while. She lowered her eyes and looked at him secretly, and saw that Jiang Qingliu was not dressed as plainly as last time, with a white jade dragon hairpin on his head, a crab shell blue tuan pattern bottom sleeve stand-up collar satin robe, a royal blue satin belt, and still hanging the small seal of Hetian jade, decorated with cyan tassels. Although there is no extravagance and wealth in her body, she is elegant and handsome, and her heart is uncontrollably pounding. Chen Huilan bit her lip, raised her head, and smiled out the window: "Look, childe, the weather is excellent today, and the lake seems to be a little brighter." ”

Jiang Qingliu followed her gaze, it was indeed sparkling, dancing and flickering, and as the painting boat advanced, it stirred up layers of ripples, and the turquoise and calm lake also evolved countless scenery, which was very pleasing to the eye. He nodded, "Today is indeed a good weather for traveling. ”

Chen Huilan said again: "By the way, I have never had a chance to ask, where is Jiang Gongzi from?" Came to Yangzhou for business? ”

"In Huai'an, my hometown, I really came to Yangzhou for a business." Jiang Qingliu retracted his gaze and replied.

Chen Huilan saw that he did not shy away from his own problems, and was extremely happy in his heart, so he said: "The son has just arrived, if he encounters any problems in Yangzhou, he can make someone come to me." Although I am a weak woman, after all, I have the protection of my father, and I can still contribute to my son in Yangzhou. ”

Jiang Qingliu's gaze swept over her cheeks, and he smiled slightly: "Thank you Miss Chen for your kindness, it's just that my business is almost over, and I don't want to trouble Miss Miss." Speaking of this, he paused slightly and said, "It's just that there is something I have to explain to Miss." ”

Chen Huilan was slightly surprised and said, "What's the matter, son, please say." ”

"Miss Wang, whom I met before, asked me to bring a message to Miss," he looked at Chen Huilan and said, "said that what she said last time was a joke, please don't worry about her." ”

Chen Huilan's heart sank slightly when she heard him mention Wang Hibiscus, but when he finished speaking, she smiled generously and said, "Miss Wang is too worried, it's just a joke, how can I take it to heart." ”

"That's good, then **** see that your personal maid followed Miss Wang all the way to my house, I thought Miss Wang really offended Miss and made Miss angry. Now that I think about it, it's all a misunderstanding, and the girl just happened to run into it. Jiang Qingliu smiled as if relieved.

Chen Huilan's face stiffened slightly, her hand under the table clenched, and she smiled reluctantly: "I think it's a misunderstanding." Miss Wang said something that was not very appropriate, but I thought that a country woman like her did not understand these rules, so I did not take it to heart. It's just that my maid is a little blind, I have persuaded her a few times, and I don't think I will secretly embarrass Miss Wang behind my back. ”

The corners of Jiang Qingliu's mouth twitched: "Oh? Is that so? I don't know what Miss Wang said, I see that although she is not as knowledgeable as everyone, she is also sensible and obedient, and she should not be guilty of taboos. ”

Chen Huilan heard that he was very protective of Wang Jin, and a wave of anger rose in her heart, could I still wronged her? is still sensible and obedient, so why is he still dressed up as a man and mixed with a few big men? The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, feeling that Jiang Qingliu didn't see Wang Jin's personality clearly at all, her mind turned, and she sighed: "Actually, it's nothing, I asked Miss Wang about your acquaintance, and she actually said, said..."

"Miss, but it doesn't hurt." Jiang Qingliu saw her asking such a difficult question, so he said.

"Hey, Miss Wang said that Jiang Gongzi treats her very fondly, and she looks forward to her coming in the city every day, and how gentle and considerate and obedient she is when she gets along, and she also said," she raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Qingliu, and saw that his face was a little strange, thinking that it had an effect, she was secretly happy in her heart, and continued: "She also said that she will marry a talent like Jiang Gongzi when she marries in the future!" ”

Feeling Chen Huilan's gaze, Jiang Qingliu subconsciously frowned, and deliberately said: "Miss Wang treats me kindly, I naturally treat her more preferentially, I don't want her to be wrong and say this." Fortunately, the young lady did not care about her gaffes. The dissatisfaction with Wang Jin in his tone made Chen Huilan secretly proud. She hesitated and said, "Although this is the case, Jiang Gongzi is not easy to blame her, after all, this kind of thing is not easy to say." It's just that Jiang Gongzi lives in her family's previous house, and I'm afraid that Miss Wang will use this to go to Fucheng to find you in the future, what should Jiang Gongzi do then? ”

Jiang Qingliu's eyes were cold, but his smile was even worse: "In the future, I will only treat Miss Wang with ordinary courtesy, presumably she will slowly understand what I mean." ”

Chen Huilan nodded and said, "That's all it can be." I hope that Miss Wang can wake up sooner, how can a character like Jiang Gongzi be matched by ordinary women. Only then did the threat she felt in her heart completely dissipate from Wang Hibiscus. She put her mind at ease, and seeing that Jiang Qingliu was still frowning, she started another topic.

The two sat and chatted like this for about an hour, and Chen Huilan saw Xiaolian gesturing to herself at the opposite window, and realized that it was not too early.

"Gongzi Jiang, it's not early today, it's time for me to go home." Chen Huilan said apologetically.

"Well, it's really not early, so I'll leave next." Jiang Qingliu put down the teacup, arched his hand at her, and stood up to leave.

"Childe," Chen Huilan shouted hurriedly when she saw that he was leaving. Seeing Jiang Qingchuan turn around, her face flushed, but her eyes looked straight at him, and she said expectantly: "Jiang Gongzi, if you have time next time, can you accompany Huilan out for a walk?" ”

Jiang Qingliu was stunned, then smiled again, and nodded: "Of course, Miss will let me know when the time comes." ”

Chen Huilan was overjoyed in her heart, and when she sent Jiang Qingliu away, she couldn't stop smiling on her face when she returned to the temple. When Liu saw her like this, he thought in his heart that it would be good to let his daughter go out for a walk more, so as not to be bored at home.

Jiang Qingliu, who was on the other end, returned to the house and went into the study to read the book. It's just that his eyes are a little dazed, and he is clearly thinking about something. Gradually, the corners of his mouth curled wider and wider, and finally he burst out laughing uncontrollably. How could such a smart woman as Wang Jin say such unmeasured words, obviously deliberately angry with Miss Chen, what a little fox! But these words have won my heart!
