Xiao Jinglin's painting boat really came soon, although Xiao Jinglin didn't come today, but the two painting boats stopped in the river near here early in the morning.

Yun Qiuchen asked with a normal face: "The county lord's painting boat is also very stable, let's go up?" ”

The rest of the ladies from Kyoto looked at each other a few times, and then they all looked at Yan Ningshuang at the same time.

Yan Ningshuang smiled: "Then go up." As he spoke, he took his maid's hand and walked to the painting boat first.

Zhao Yingqiu suddenly pressed her forehead and shook her body a little unsteadily, Yun Qiuchen, who was standing next to her, quickly supported her and asked with concern, "Miss Zhao, what's wrong?" ”

Yan Ningshuang also turned her head to look at it.

Zhao Yingqiu showed a somewhat weak smile: "After blowing the river breeze all afternoon, I seem to be a little uncomfortable." I didn't think it was going to see the ship ...... now."

When everyone heard this, Zhao Yingqiu was afraid that when she came to Yanbei to take the boat, her condition on the boat was not very good at that time, and the whole person was wilted.

Yan Ningshuang said: "Why don't you go back and rest first?" ”

Zhao Yingqiu nodded, and said to everyone with some apologies: "Then I'll go first, and the sisters have fun." ”

Yun Qiuchen beckoned his maid Yinzhu and ordered, "You accompany Miss Zhao to go back, and then ask Doctor Yang to take a look at Miss Zhao." ”

Zhao Yingqiu thanked him and left with Yinzhu.

The rest of the people followed Yan Ningshuang and Yun Qiuchen to the painting boat.

Xiao Jingxi's painting boat slowly drove to the lower reaches of the Liyang River, and another painting boat followed behind, the two sides maintained a distance not far away, and the painting boat behind did not mean to catch up, and the people on the two painting boats seemed to really come to enjoy the river and mountains.

However, the painting boat in the back did not seem to affect the people on the painting boat in front, Pei Zhiyan invited Xiao Jingxi to play a game with him, Xiao Jingxi readily agreed, and the Xu couple and Ren Yaoqi sat quietly and watched the chess.

Pei Zhiyan and Xiao Jingxi are both among the best masters in chess. Pei Zhiyan's chess style seems to be casual, but he actually likes to move the sword from time to time, and his moves imply traps, Xiao Jingxi's chess style has a calmness that does not match his age, no matter how Pei Zhiyan plays, Xiao Jingxi will not be taken away from his rhythm, but he is not soft when he makes a killing move, and he is decisive in killing.

Although the two did not play chess quickly, the battle was very intense, attracting people who were even more engaged than when they watched the dragon boat race before.

Ren Yao had a game with Xiao Jingxi before, and she originally secretly thought that if Xiao Jingxi met Pei Zhiyan, who would be higher in chess skills and who would be lower in chess. Eventually, it was concluded that her husband might have a slight advantage. But after watching this fight, Ren Yaoqi felt that his previous judgment might be a little subjective, although Xiao Jingxi did not have an obvious advantage over Shang Pei Zhiyan, he did not show defeat from beginning to end.

So Ren Yaochi somewhat understood that Xiao Jingxi had more or less conceded to her when he was playing chess with her, especially in that draw. With Xiao Jingxi's calm chess style, it shouldn't be so easy to fall for her, after all, compared to the trick of trapping and luring the enemy, if Pei Zhiyan admits the second, no one dares to admit the second.

When the two sides were inseparable and the situation was stalemate, Pei Zhiyan smiled. Looking at Xiao Jingxi's gaze with sincere appreciation, he leisurely quipped: "Look at human nature from the chess style." Xiao Gongzi was so immobile and invulnerable even when he was playing chess, Pei couldn't help but be a little curious. Has Xiao Gongzi never been flustered about something? ”

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyes when he heard this, a white child between his fingers turned lightly, he glanced at Ren Yaoqi on the side as if he didn't have anything, and said with a smile: "Naturally, there is." ”

"Oh?" Pei Zhiyan showed a rare look of curiosity. The Xu couple also looked at him and wanted to hear the following.

Ren Yaoqi's heart jumped when he saw him, and he was a little nervous, for fear that Xiao Jingxi would say something nonsense.

Xiao Jingxi gently put the white child in his hand on the chessboard. It was another ingenious killing move, and when everyone's attention was attracted to the chessboard, he said slowly: "Will you be nervous, but look at the right person and the right thing, as long as you are a person, there will always be something you care about in your heart, and I naturally have it." ”

Pei Zhiyan glanced at Xiao Jingxi with some surprise, having a weakness is not a thing that can be taken out, especially a person with Xiao Jingxi's identity and status will not admit this, because having a weakness is equivalent to having a weakness.

Facing Pei Zhiyan's gaze, Xiao Jingxi smiled slightly: "Avoiding one's 'weakness' is equivalent to denying oneself, which is the behavior of the weak." ”

Pei Zhiyan tilted his head and dropped a word, but his eyes were full of interest: "Then how does Xiao Gongzi treat his weaknesses?" To overcome? ”

Xiao Jingxi thought about it, and his voice still had a faint smile: "The customer service that can be overcome, the customer service that can't be customer service will face it squarely, since it is an indispensable part of itself, then take it seriously." After a pause, he added, "And I don't think there's anything wrong with a person who has one or two weaknesses, people are not sages, and the taste of being cold in a high place is not very good." ”

Ren Yaoqi listened on the side, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Jingxi's side face in a daze, and couldn't turn his gaze.

Although Xiao Jingxi's expression on his face was still faint when he said this, he didn't know why Lu Dao had a particularly attractive temperament. Although he admits that he has weaknesses, no one will doubt that the calm but confident young man in front of him is an absolute powerhouse.

The people present sighed a little when they heard this, and they seemed to have fallen into their own thoughts because of Xiao Jingxi's words, and they were all mortals with weaknesses.

Xiao Jingxi turned his head at this time and met Ren Yaoqi's gaze, the faint warmth and gentle smile in his eyes were unreservedly transmitted to Ren Yaochi with palpitating affection, although he quickly turned his gaze back to pay attention to the chess game, it still made Ren Yaochi couldn't help but mess with his heartbeat, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

After the first game was at its worst, it was not surprising that it reached a stalemate.

Xiao Jingxi and Pei Zhiyan glanced at each other, Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, and threw a chess jar: "I lost." ”

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "This is a tie." ”

Pei Zhiyan shook his head and said leisurely: "It may not be easy for you to win now, it's just the light of my age...... In a few years, I may not be able to get a good deal from you. ”

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and also joked: "According to Mr. Pei's meaning, it seems that in a few years, you won't have to touch the light of my age?" ”

Xu Wanli couldn't help but laugh, looked at Pei Zhiyan teasingly, and said: "This reminds me that children always think that they will be able to grow older than their brother in a few years, but they don't know that he is growing, and his brother is also growing." Sincerely, the more you live, the more you go back! ”

Mrs. Xu also laughed.

Pei Zhiyan didn't care about this joke, and shook his head with a smile: "I mean, even if I get the light of age in a few years, I may not be able to win this Xiao Xiaoyou." Why do you force me to admit it? ”

Xu Wanli was stunned when he heard this, and then said unhappily: "What little friend?" You're so indiscriminate, it's messing up your ranks! ”

Xu Wanli is Xiao Jingxi's husband, naturally he is a generation older, Pei Zhiyan is Xu Wanli's brother-in-law, or his year-old friend, how to say that Pei Zhiyan is also a generation older than Xiao Jingxi, and it is indeed a mess to be a friend.

Pei Zhiyan took a leisurely sip of the tea in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "I recognize my little friend, what does it have to do with you?" You're still his husband. Otherwise, at your age, I should be a friend of the New Year, and I will be so-so, and if you recognize him, it will inevitably be suspected that the old cow will eat tender grass. ”

Xu Wanli couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, and he reasoned with Pei Zhiyan at the beginning.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Pei Zhiyan with a relaxed expression and sharp words on the side, looking at Pei Zhiyan in amazement, she had never seen Pei Zhiyan get along with her real best friend. It turns out that Mr. also has a childish side? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel very fresh.

All in all, this short trip to the painting boat was still very pleasant, but it was a pity that Pei Zhiyan had to go back to the other courtyard to discuss how to write excerpts with the other two officials, and it was inconvenient to accept the invitation to stay for dinner.

And the painting boat that had been following them had also returned, but the distance was a little far away.

Xiao Jingxi left some people to come down to take care of them, and when they were about to go to the carriage, they saw someone on Xiao Jinglin's painting boat running to the bow of the boat, waving to this side and shouting something, but unfortunately the distance was a little far away, so they couldn't hear it clearly.

A few people stopped, and Xiao Jingxi beckoned a guard to ask him to row a small boat to answer and see what was going on.

Ren Yaochi whispered to Xiao Jingxi: "Is there anyone here who knows medical skills?" To be on the safe side, it's better to let someone who understands medical skills go with you. ”

Ren Yaoqi's concerns are not unreasonable, the painting boat is running well on the river, but the people on the boat are flustered, and the doctor may be more effective in the past.

Xiao Jingxi nodded when he heard this: "There are two doctors waiting, and they should still be there now." As he spoke, he turned his head and commanded.

When the boat was ready, a doctor with a medicine box came over.

A few guards got on the boat with the doctor, rowing towards the painting boat at a very fast speed, Xiao Jingxi himself did not go over, there were all the martial arts and doctors on the boat, and he couldn't help if he went.

After a while, the boat rowed back again, but the doctor was not on the boat, and as soon as the guard came ashore, he immediately reported: "Childe, it was a young lady who suddenly fainted. ”.
