Chapter 21: Suspicious Discovery
The sun shines on the lake, the breeze blows, and the ripples are fine.
Layers of ripples rippled with the rhythm of the wood pulp, and in circles, the lotus flowers in the lake also trembled with the waves.
Le hoped for the distant wooden boat on the lake, and his mood at this time was like the ripples that were rippling layer by layer, with waves surging.
I saw four sons of about sixteen or seventeen years old sitting or standing on the boat, all dressed in luxurious silk clothes, handsome and with extraordinary temperament. And where Le Xi's eyes are is the son who is swinging the pulp.
The boy who wore a soap-colored satin straight shirt embroidered with auspicious clouds and dark patterns, with angular outlines, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and deep eyes like black jade. When gazing, it is like a quiet pool, and when it is circulating, it is bright and scorching, but it is hidden and sharp, so that people dare not force it to look.
Le Xi squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, trying to make his vision clearer, and his heart was pounding.
Resemble?! It's not like that!
Looking at it from a distance, there are seven points for appearance and seven points for temperament, will the son in soap-colored clothes be his brother?!!
However, Le Xi on the shore kept looking at it with excitement and nervousness, and the wooden boat was drifting away in the faint sound of talking. She couldn't be asked to explore it anymore.
"Sure enough, as long as you meet this Chen Siqi, there will be no good things. My brother too, why did you rob my boat, couldn't they split into two waves? Qi Xuexin's angry voice sounded, and Le Xi was also pulled back to her senses.
The moment he came back to his senses, Le Xi noticed that several eyes were falling on him.
Raising his eyes, there were several maids surrounding Qi Xuexin. The maids quickly lowered their heads when they saw Le Xi sweeping over them. And when Lexi met the other party's eyes, he saw a very uncomfortable exploration in the middle of the term.
What did you do to make these maids look like this?
Lexi thought about twisting his eyebrows, and after a moment, his cheeks suddenly flushed.
How could she forget that the women here are all ashamed to answer, how can they look at the man like this!
"The girl should not wait any longer, and the slave maid will go and prepare the three boats again."
Just as Le Xi was thinking about how to hide her embarrassment, the mother-in-law who was watching the dock cautiously asked Qi Xuexin's opinion.
Qi Xuexin heard that her willow eyebrows were tangled, and she turned around and took Le Xi's hand and walked to the shore, which just relieved her embarrassment at this time.
"Don't want it, it was originally just to be lively and get together, what's the point of separating?" Qi Xuexin pouted, her face full of displeasure. "Besides, there is a foreign man, how can you let us go to the lake, picking lotus?!"
After that, Qi Xuexin pulled Le Xi and came to the anxious girls again, sorry that they couldn't go to the lake.
So, the girls walked to the water pavilion again.
On the way, Qi Xuexin was still chattering about her brother, and Le Xi was thinking about the man she had just seen. I was excited to guess whether it was the son of my adoptive parents, and I was a little dazed. It's just a mess of uh-huh.
When he returned to the Water Pavilion, Le Xi came to his senses, and Fang Caiguang was thinking excitedly, why didn't he quietly ask Qi Xuexin about the identity of that person on the road?! Nowadays, it is not easy to speak alone in a room.
Chen Siqi in the water pavilion was a little surprised when she saw the group coming back, but she still held her arrogant face and didn't participate in the girls' discussions about what to be stubborn.
In the end, there is no unity. However, Qi Xuexin's eyes rolled, and she wanted Le Xi to draw them some more beaded hairpin styles, but Le Xi was coaxed by a group of people to be unable to carry them. I had to smile and respond.
The maid quickly prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Le Xi began to write according to their ideas. It's just that I have something in my heart, and the brush I use, and I don't have a calm mind, Lexi, who almost ruined the pattern several times. Fortunately, a group of girls are all laymen, but they didn't notice it, and they all watched it with relish.
When Le Xi's hands were sore, the curiosity of several girls was finally satisfied. At this time, it was already lunch time, and the maid next to Mrs. Qi came to give a gift, saying that she had specially placed a special table of lotus root banquet for everyone, and asked where it was transmitted.
Qi Xuexin didn't think about it, the road was placed in the water pavilion, and the maid should go to Zhang Luo.
No, the feast will be set up.
Eye-catching flower core lotus, golden lotus root, lotus root multigrain lion head, lotus root vegetarian pork ribs, a dazzling array of dishes based on lotus root ingredients, meat and vegetarian matching, and all kinds of exquisite dishes. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also a big move of the index finger.
After the maids cleaned their hands for everyone, they stood aside and served the dishes.
Because of the lack of long backs, a group of girls who should have been lively years old, the so-called rules of eating and sleeping without saying anything have been forgotten. The sound of laughter and laughter sounded from time to time, and the atmosphere of the whole water pavilion was lively.
Just as everyone was happily enjoying the food and chatting about the topic, a middle-aged man's voice came from the door. The eldest young master of Qi Mansion specially ordered that the newly picked lotus seeds be made into lotus seed soup, which should be an apology. And said that the eldest young master didn't know that the girls were going to swim in the lake at that time, so he occupied the big boat.
Qi Xuexin listened to the willow eyebrows, and directly said a word that was not uncommon, and sent the person away.
Le Xi also clearly heard the middle-aged man's sigh before leaving, and he understood Qi Xuexin's character even better. is straightforward and doesn't know how to act tactfully, no wonder he was used as a gunman by Le Yan, and thought that this should also be spoiled. Look at the look that is justified and doesn't buy it, he is the little bully in the family.
With this little episode, everyone's mood was not affected, but they just ate again. There was another report outside.
This time, in addition to the middle-aged man, there was also the voice of a young man.
But the pace stopped at the door.
"Big brother, what are you doing here? Could it be that you have robbed the boat, and you have to come to grab the water pavilion?! Qi Xuexin said loudly to the door with a screen partition, and the chopsticks in her hand were also thrown heavily on the table.
For a while, the girls in the room stopped their chopsticks, and only looked at the blue and white bowl in front of them, without squinting.
As soon as Qi Xuexin's voice fell, a clear man's voice came, gentle and smiling. "My second sister is like this, Brother Ziqian is silent." After this party apologized, he listened to the man again. "Second sister, Brother Ziqian's family has an urgent matter, and I came to pick up the Chen family's sister's house."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Zhong Siqi, who had never been social. I saw Chen Siqi take a silk handkerchief and wipe the corners of his mouth, picked up the tea handed by the maid, rinsed his mouth, and blessed everyone casually before walking out.
Le Xi looked at Chen Siqi's back as he went to the door, and his afterglow swept to the gap in the screen, and there were soap-colored clothes dangling through the gap.
Heart-pounding.
The soap-colored man is at the door!!
Is it the son of the Qi family or the son of the Zhong family in Wuding?!
Le Xi was shocked, his eyes kept falling on the screen, but there was already the sound of footsteps fading away from the door......
