She looked at Guo Dagui, smiled happily, lifted her skirt and ran forward.

When they arrived at the painting boat, the boat lady crossed the board between the embankment and the painting boat.

Because a boatload of people was watching, Shen Hanmei was embarrassed to wait for Guo Dagui, so she got on the boat first. Who knew that she was in a happy mood, and she didn't pay attention to drop the phoenix hairpin into the water.

"Ahh She hurriedly shouted.

The maid hurriedly looked into the water, and asked again, "Why did the girl take down the phoenix hairpin?" ”

How could Shen Hanmei say that Guo Dagui pinched the flowers for her to wear, so she couldn't make a sound.

The boat lady poked down with a penny and said, "So deep! What can I do? ”

Shen Hanmei's nurse, Mother Song, said, "Which of you knows water?" Go down and fish it up. ”

Several boat ladies looked at each other.

They know the water, but they can't dive deep to touch things.

But it's hard to say this, for fear that people will think they are lazy, so they have to try.

At this moment, Guo Dagui arrived.

After asking why, he said, "What's this?" I'll just go down and catch it. ”

Shen Hanmei hurriedly said, "You go down?" How can that be! ”

Mother Song also said: "The third master doesn't have to go down, let them go down." ”

The boat girls she was referring to.

Because in her heart, she has long regarded Guo Dagui as her aunt.

Guo Dagui said with a smile: "I'm just a man here, and I'm young, I don't go down to fish, but ask a few aunts to go down to fish, how bad!" They may not be able to go down to this depth. ”

He is not used to the humility of the master and servant, and thinks that it is not good to let the woman's family or the elders do this.

Shen Hanmei stopped: "This water is so deep." Don't go down. I don't want Feng Hai. ”

She saw the boat lady probing the bottom with a penny, and the water was seven or eight feet deep, how dare she let him go down.

Guo Dagui said: "Nonsense! Why don't you want good things? Get in the boat, go inside, and don't look here. I'll go down for a while and touch it. ”

Dumb persuaded: "Sister Shen." Let the third brother go down and fish. The third brother has a good water nature. ”

She also felt that it was not good to let the boat lady enter the water.

Besides, they are women and they are not easy to take off their clothes, how can they go down?

If you go down with your clothes on, you will come back and change it.

Shen Hanmei saw that his brother and sister all said this, so she had to agree.

Then I miss Guo Dagui even more in my heart-

Such a kind person will treat her well for the rest of her life!

Mother Song said to the boat lady: "This is Guo Sanye's good heart. I haven't thanked the third master! ”

Everyone thanked Guo Dagui.

Guo Dagui waved his hand and motioned for them all to stay away.

So they all took refuge in the cabin.

Guo Dagui took off his coat first, and then hid under the side of the boat and took off his underwear. resting on the grass on the shore. A fierce man dived under the water and quickly touched the phoenix.

When he was neatly dressed and walked out of the boat with water dripping from his hair. When she handed Feng Hai to Shen Hanmei, she felt that her nose was a little sour, "Look, there is still water dripping on her head." Ying'er. Bring a clean hand towel. ”

Ying'er hurriedly brought a few dry hand towels.

Shen Hanmei took it and ordered Guo Dagui to sit. Personally open his hair for him and wipe it for him; After wiping it half-dry, it helps the head again; When his hair was all dry, he personally helped him pull his hair.

Guo Dagui was happy and empty-hearted. Turning his head to look at Qing's dumb eyes, his face was red.

Dumb felt like a "light bulb" and was looking for some reason to let them be alone. At that time, the boat had already arrived at Tianhudong, so she said to Shen Hanmei: "I want to go down to the lake for a walk." I haven't done a good job yet. I used to take a boat. ”

Shen Hanmei hurriedly said, "Then let's go down together." ”

Qingmu shook his head and said, "You don't have to go." I'll take my little sister up. I want to be quiet. ”

She didn't even want to take Guo Qin and Qiao'er, the children were so active, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control them. They are young, and staying on the boat will not affect Guo Dagui and Shen Hanmei too much, and besides, there are so many maids who can take care of them.

Shen Hanmei hesitated.

Guo Dagui said uneasily: "Little sister, how can you and your little sister go up?" ”

Dumb said: "Okay." Wait for me at the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake. ”

She has long wanted to take a quiet walk and enjoy the beauty of the water town alone, but she can't find the opportunity.

When I was in Green Bay Village, I was able to walk around my own home. Since the house opened a workshop, there are often people in the garden, and she has come out less; When she came to Xiazhao City, she was surrounded by more people, and she only swam through Tianhu Lake by boat with Yan Weiyang and others, and never walked around the lake.

On an autumn day like this, it's nice to stroll around the lake.

Shen Hanmei saw that she had made up her mind, so she said, "Let Mother Song and Mother Li accompany you." We're right on the lake. If you are tired of shopping and want to come up, let your mother shout. ”

Qingdu didn't want them to worry, so he agreed.

She told Guo Qin and Qiao'er not to be naughty, so she and her sister got off the boat.

Mother Song and Mother Li followed.

After going ashore, walking on the bluestone passage under the weeping willows, I felt dumb and my heart was flying.

Standing on tiptoe, he pulled off the wicker hanging from his head and couldn't help but laugh.

Because he turned back to Song's mother and said, "It's hard work, mother." It hurt my mother to run after me. ”

Mother Song said with a smile on her face: "Where did the girl speak!" We still want to go down and take a walk. After a long time on the boat, people are very bored. ”

Li's mother also said: "Speaking of which, we are still stained, so we can go out with the girl." ”

Qing Mu knew that they were polite, and smiled: "I don't need to be served, the two mothers just go shopping by themselves." We just don't get separated. ”

Mother Song is Shen Hanmei's nurse, she has seen her dumb several times with Shen Hanmei, knowing that she is happy and quiet, listening to her say this, she is happy and comfortable, and she doesn't bother her, she only follows with Mother Li not far away, in case she meets anyone or something, so she goes up to deal with it.

The dumb took the little sister and enjoyed the fun while walking.

Under the scorching sun of early autumn, the green lotus on the lake is still lush.

In the lotus leaf bushes, there are passages with painting boats.

On one of the painting boats, Fang Chu and Xie Yinyue sat directly opposite each other.

It turned out that after Xie Yinyue suffered for two days, she invited Fang Chu to come out to visit the lake in the afternoon.

"There's been a lot of going on lately, and I want to take a break. Why don't we go to the lake and spend some time? ”

She looked at him expectantly.

Fang Chu didn't want to go.

Pure lack of interest!

But thinking of all the things in recent days, it was rare for her to take the initiative and agree.

How many days has he not been with her?

The last time I faced it seemed to be in February, or March.

That was the first time there was a crack on their faces.

He said, "It's fine." Bao Changshi celebrates his birthday today. Let's go and congratulate. ”

Xie Yinyue shook her head and said, "I let the Heavenly Protector go." You let Brother Ze go. It's time for them to go through the experience, too. It's not a big deal, it's just a celebration of eating and drinking. ”

Fang Chu looked at her and chuckled, "It's okay." ”

As soon as he told someone to explain it, Fang Ze went to do this.

Xie Yinyue was more and more happy, and came to Tianhu Lake with him on a painting boat.

In the middle cabin, the glass partitions on both sides of the windows have been pushed open, revealing the exquisitely carved window lattices, and the cool breeze slowly penetrates through the lake, making people feel lazy.

Jinxiu and the maids were busy arranging fruit plates. Xie Yinyue personally boiled water and made tea.

Fang Chu leaned back in his chair. Look out the window.

When he turned around and saw Xie Yinyue making tea, he said, "Just let them get it, and you can also rest." ”

Xie Yinyue brewed two glasses. I took it on a tray and walked up to him and placed it on a low table.

"Can they make the same as mine?" She chuckled.

Of course not.

Fang Chu thanked her and hurriedly picked up the teacup to drink.

Blue and white porcelain teacup. It contains a pale green tea soup, which is very elegant.

Take a sip. There is a slight bitterness in the fragrance, and I don't feel stunned.

Xie Yinyue explained: "I added some lotus seed hearts. Now that autumn is in place, the climate is hot and dry, and adding some lotus seeds can remove the heart. ”

Fang Chu lowered his eyelids. "Very good. ”

Xie Yinyue suddenly remembered that when the Guo family auctioned bamboo silk paintings, it was lotus heart tea that entertained everyone, and couldn't help but regret it. Why didn't you think of that!

Originally, she wanted to bring the guqin on the boat, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind.

Wasn't that a deliberate reminder of a certain scene!

Just in time for the splendid to send a snack. She hurriedly pointed to a plate and said, "I made this crystal cake, you can taste it." ”

Fang Chu picked up a piece and ate it.

After taking a bite, he smiled at her and said, "It tastes good." ”

After eating, he took another sip of tea.

As soon as she put down the teacup, Xie Yinyue pushed over a plate of chestnut cakes, which she also made with her own hands.

He felt that such hospitality could not be disappointed, and ate another piece.

After eating four or five things like this, Xie Yinyue handed over the peeled fruit again.

He took it, grateful, and said, "You are already very tired in your daily life, so it's easy to take the time to come out, these things are told to Jinxiu and they do, you sit down and rest, let's talk." ”

Xie Yinyue said: "Working weekdays is exhausting. Leave those out today, and your heart will be idle. When you are idle, you don't feel tired doing this, and it's fun. It doesn't get in the way of us talking. ”

She smiled slightly, very elegant.

Fang Chu looked at her and was a little distracted.

Feeling that he had eaten too much, he got up and walked to the window to look out.

Xie Yinyue also walked over and stood beside him.

He turned his head and smiled at her, pointed out the window and said, "Look, the lotus flowers are still blooming so well." ”

Xie Yinyue didn't say anything.

After standing for a while, he said, "The sun is dazzling!" Let's come and sit down. ”

Xie Yinyue nodded, so the two of them went back to the low table and sat down.

After saying nothing for a while, Jinxiu came to renew the tea, and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.

Xie Yinyue always felt that Fang Chu's smile was a little vague and reluctant, not like usual.

She looked at him and said tentatively, "Dad said let Tianhu learn to take charge of the family business." ”

Fang Chu was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "It should have been like this a long time ago." I told you a long time ago, but you just won't listen. If you don't learn to manage things when you're so old, what can you do in the future? Tengo has taken over, and you are much more relaxed, and you can let go of your hands earlier. ”

Seeing that he picked up so quickly, Xie Yinyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Jinxiu, who was standing aside, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after Fang Chu finished speaking, he was a little puzzled-

This was what he had been looking forward to for a long time, why didn't he feel as happy as he expected when he heard it?

He should go on to say that she would be able to marry him once she had unloaded her burden.

It was a matter of time, and he was ready to ask her when she would marry.

was about to ask, but she said, "Even if he takes over the management, I still have to teach him for two years." ”

As he said that, he remembered something, looked at him and said apologetically: "It's just that I want you to wait." ”

Fang Chu twisted his eyebrows and said, "If you don't wait, don't talk about it first, can't my uncle teach Heavenly Protector?" ”

Xie Yinyue said: "The family is such a big mess, and my father wants to take care of it." ”

Fang Chu was silent.

He felt that she still refused to let go.

She sued him for this, which means that she didn't say anything.

But why sue sù?

He sensed her deliberate temptation, and his heart was faintly displeased.

Whatever the reason, let her be!

Xie Yinyue saw that he didn't say anything more, so she carefully looked at his expression.

He looked as usual, as if he didn't care.

She was a little unsure, and said: "If you are in a hurry, I will go and tell my father, I will only take the heavenly protection for a year, and he will rely on him to break through the rest." After speaking, he looked at him expectantly.

Fang Chu shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry. ”

She had already decided, so why did he bother to say it. Besides, it didn't work, she was just testing him, in fact, she had already made up her mind. He couldn't persuade her to make up her mind.

Xie Yinyue's heart sank-

Does he care about marriage?

Or, he doesn't want to marry her at all!

The previous good mood was swept away and became depressed.

Fang Chu also felt bored, and wanted to get up and go to the window to breathe.

But he had just come from the window, and it was not good to go again.

So, he turned his face to look out the window.

I saw a painting boat coming from among the green leaves, and the sound of sheng flute and dance music floated out.

When he saw two familiar figures, he smiled at Xie Yinyue and said, "It's Young Master Bao and Xiyi." How did they get to the lake? ”

Xie Yinyue smiled: "I think I feel bored at home, so I went to the water to have fun." “

How can you be free at home, naturally you will be more free to come out.

Fang Chu smiled: "Let's go over too." ”

After saying that, he remembered something, and hurriedly changed his words: "Forget it, it's not over." It's very noisy. Then he instructed Jinxiu: "Jinxiu, let the boat lady quietly go around from that side, don't let them see it." ”

Jinxiu was just about to give an order, but was stopped by Xie Yinyue.

Xie Yinyue smiled at the other party's beginning: "Since you bumped into it, it's always inappropriate to dodge." Wouldn't it be rude to run away from someone over there who, like you, had already spotted us? Let's get over it. I've been playing for half a day, and I went to meet with everyone, and it was just more lively. ”

Fang Chu stared at her suspiciously and asked, "You really want to go over?" ”

He really couldn't see through her more and more.

Xie Yinyue nodded and said, "Let's go over." ”

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Brother Xiyi has already seen us." ”

She was no longer in the mood to face him alone.

In the past, when I gathered with everyone, the excitement may be able to dilute the depression just now.

So the boat lady leaned over the boat.

When Han Xiyi saw them, he burst into laughter, "Such a coincidence! ”

Master Bao came out on the side, and smiled at the two: "You will enjoy it and come out to play secretly." Shall I not move you? Only two little brothers were sent to deal with me. ”

While talking, someone set up a springboard, and Fang Chu and Xie Yinyue passed.

Fang Chu said with a smile: "Uncle Bao, does this think that our gift is light, or is it not enough to be a suspect?" ”

Young Master Bao invited him into the cabin, and said with a smile: "How dare I be light!" Even if the two younger brothers came to congratulate, they didn't dare to dislike it. Carefully ask the maid to wait, and take care of it, not allowing them to eat and drink, not to play with Youling, for fear that if he learns badly, Brother Fang will come to me to settle accounts. I said I became a nurse and helped you bring the baby. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Fang Ze and Xie Tianhu knew that they were laughing, and they were not angry.

Entering the cabin for a while, Fang Xie greeted the third young master Xia and the fourth young master of Xia County, the son of Zhou Xianling.

The greetings were over, everyone returned to their seats, and Master Bao ordered the courtesans and dancers to go down.

"Miss Xie is here, how can she make those messes and pollute her ears and eyes." He smiled and praised Xie Yinyue, "Ask someone to play the flute at the stern of the boat, play the piano and harmonize, and it is enough for us to listen from a distance here." ”

Someone gave the order to go down, and suddenly the voice on the boat was soft.

Xie Yinyue hurriedly stood up, thanking him for his thoughtfulness.
