The three of them often fight openly and secretly, and Xia Zhi secretly laughed on the side.

She could feel that the relationship between the three of them was very good, although they often played and laughed, but once they got into business, they would definitely hug each other and move forward side by side.

Sometimes, listening to their chatter, she can also know a lot of interesting things and excitement that are not in books from their chats, and she can also extract information that is beneficial to her future development.

Although Xia Zhili didn't talk much, she always sat there quietly, listening to them talking, or smiling shallowly, and occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, but her calm and soft beauty fell in the eyes of Qin Che, Gong Mucheng and Ning Jinxin, and it was as beautiful as a painting, and she couldn't get tired of looking at it.

They always feel that as long as they can sit with her like this, as long as they can look at the faint smile on her beautiful face, they will feel deeply satisfied, and they really hope to be with her forever and see her for a lifetime.

What's more, when you come to her, you can also watch her dance with her white and slender hands, showing them the beautiful and moving tea arts, and you can drink the spiritual tea and spiritual fruits that only she has here.

In this back-and-forth relationship, the four of them turned out to be close friends.

Xia Zhi didn't say anything polite to them, what she needed, just tell them directly, the next time Gong Mucheng and Ning Jinxin came to the door, they would send what she needed and give it to her as a gift.

On this day, as soon as he finished breakfast, Qin Che rushed into the Yu Garden to find Shen Bingrao.

He hadn't entered Xia Zhi's house yet, so he shouted outside the door, "Know, you change your clothes quickly, just now Brother Gong sent someone to invite us, ask us to go to Huaibei Lake to row a boat and enjoy the scenery and listen to music......"

Xia Zhi, who was half-lying on the brocade couch reading a book, quickly sat up, as soon as she heard Qin Che's babbling voice, she couldn't help laughing, his passionate and energetic voice was really infectious.

"You wait a minute, I'll go in and change my clothes!"

Xia Zhi answered him, turned his head and instructed Yulan, "You pour a cup of tea for the prince first, and I will come out immediately!" ”

Yulan responded, "Yes, miss, the slave will go immediately." After nearly ten days of getting along, Xia Zhi has basically figured out Qin Che's temperament.

He seems to be unruly on the outside, but on the inside he is a very sincere and straightforward man, and he treats her very well, and they have only been in contact for a long time, and he has been thinking about her in everything.

And she really treats him as a brother now.

For what he said about rowing, enjoying the scenery, and listening to music, Xia Zhi is also very interested, going out to play and having someone to accompany him, being able to eat, drink and have fun outside, and opening her eyes to see for a long time, such a good thing, she can't ask for it, how can she refuse?

Leaning slightly, Xia Zhi changed into new clothes and walked out, looking at Qin Che with a smile in his eyes and saying, "Lord Shizi, let's go!" ”

Qin Che looked at Xia Zhi, who was dressed in purple, and his gaze was so stunned that he couldn't even turn it.

It wasn't until Xia Zhi coughed lightly that he came back to his senses, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile, "Got it, you are so good-looking, I'm stunned!" ”

Xia Zhi glared at him coquettishly, "Let's go!" If you keep grinding, it's getting dark! With that, she walked out the door first.

Qin Che shook his head and smiled bitterly, and chased after him, "Sister Rao, you wait for me, wait for me......" He hurriedly picked up his strength, took three steps and made two steps, and chased after him.

Qin Che and Xia Zhili walked side by side, talked and laughed out of the house, got into the carriage guarding the gate, and galloped towards the outside of the city gate.

This scene, falling in the eyes of the woman standing in a corner of the garden, her hands tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand, and a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes narrowed dangerously, full of jealousy and resentment.

When Xia Zhili and Qin Che arrived at Huaibei Lake in a carriage, Gong Mucheng and Ning Jinxin were already standing at the bow of a luxurious boat and waiting.

There is a plaque hanging above the boat, which reads "Ning Fang".

The length of this boat is about ten meters, the golden glazed tiles, the mahogany carved railing, at a glance, you can know that it is a boat that can only be sat by rich and wealthy people.

Gong Mucheng and Ning Jinxin stood on the bow of the boat, one was dressed in black, heroic and cold, and the other was silver-clothed and noble, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his attitude was dashing.

The two of them have a peerless demeanor that is proud of the world, like the brightest spotlight, attracting the attention of countless visitors to the lake, and frequently looking at them, especially the eyes of those girls and ladies, are full of burning heat and endless admiration.

But the two of them seemed to turn a blind eye, and only looked at the way they came, waiting for the arrival of the person they missed in their hearts.

Gong Mucheng and Ning Jinxin, who were waiting anxiously, saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion coming from a distance, and a trace of excitement rose in their eyes.

When they saw the familiar silhouette get out of the carriage with Qin Che's support, their eyes lit up.

Ning Jinxin was really afraid that Xia Zhi wouldn't be able to see him, so he waved his hand directly at them and shouted, "Third brother, I know, we are here ......"

Xia Zhili also smiled and waved at them, raised his eyes, and looked at the surrounding scenery.

The lake surface of this Huaibei Lake is very wide and wide, surrounded by green sprouts, small bridges and smoke willows, water reflects lotus lotus, there are exquisite pavilions and water pavilions around it, at a glance, she really thought that she had returned to the modern Suzhou-Hangzhou West Lake.

When he thinks of modern times, Xia Zhi thinks of those past events.

That year, in order to propose to her, the scumbag also tried his best, and used lotus flowers and lotus lamps to put the words "Know, I love you, marry me" in the West Lake, and she was full of emotion and finally agreed to his proposal. Thinking of himself and his ending again, Xia Zhi's high interest suddenly fell.

Although the result is so unbearable, the beauty and intentions of the past are real, but after all, they can't compete with the great temptation and ambition to dominate the world.

In a trance and depression, Xia Zhi didn't even hear Ning Jinxin talk to her.

When Ning Jinxin saw the inexplicable melancholy and sadness suddenly appearing on Xia Zhizhi's face, his heart suddenly twitched, he frowned lightly, he didn't think about it, and flew directly from the bow of the boat to her side on tiptoe.

He gently put his hand on her forehead and asked softly, "Got it, what's wrong with you?" Is it uncomfortable? ”

Xia Zhi immediately collected his emotions, and when he raised his eyes to meet his caring eyes, a trace of warmth crossed his heart, and he smiled at him and shook his head, "I'm fine!" It is...... I suddenly remembered some things from the past, and I just felt something in my heart. ”

Ning Jinxin lightly held her arm, "If there is anything, tell me, whether it is happy or sad, don't hold it in your heart, I am always there, you know?" ”

"Hmmm! If necessary, I will definitely not be polite to you, Second Brother Ning, thank you! Xia Zhi nodded vigorously and smiled happily.

That beautiful smile, just like the white pink lotus flowers in the lotus pond, with inadvertent elegance and charm, unconsciously, has touched the heartstrings of others, making it difficult for people to forget her smile. Ning Jinxin stroked her head and said with a smile, "What a stupid girl, let's go, come, I'll help you up!" ”

After these days of getting along, Xia Zhi also has a deeper understanding of Gong Mucheng, Ning Jinxin and Qin Che.

The three of them, I heard that Gong Mucheng's martial arts are the highest, and they have reached the realm close to Wuzun.

The first village in the world also has a very high status in the rivers and lakes of the Dongcang Empire, and Gong Mucheng, the young owner, also enjoys a good reputation in the martial arts.

It's just that his temperament has always been taciturn, and he silently shows concern for Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhili could only see the tenderness and affection he couldn't help revealing from his occasional eyes for her.

Ning Jinxin's martial arts are not weak, and he should also be in the Martial Sect, but he has a kind of casualness and chic like the wind all over his body, Xia Zhi is with him, he can talk and laugh at will, and he is not afraid of being annoyed by him.

When she faces him, she can be stress-free and relaxed, and he is a man who can be reassured.

And Ning Jinxin knew Xia and took good care of him.

He made no secret of his deep affection for Xia Zhi and his heart that was bound to win.

In front of them, Qin Che was more like a hearty big boy, but as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, he would transform himself into that arrogant and arrogant gentleman again.

Xia Zhi sometimes really pitied him, as a child of a family, it was really not easy.

The four men got on board and entered the boat.

Xia Zhi looked at the boat, the hall of the boat was about 30 square meters long and wide, and the ground was covered with a thick carpet, and the red background was embroidered with gold-edged peonies, which was luxurious and luxurious.

Ning Jinxin immediately asked the people on the boat to make a pot of fragrant tea and snacks.

After a while, the square mahogany table in the boat was filled with all kinds of dim sum, including osmanthus cake, walnut cake, candied fruit, and fresh fruits.

Qin Che picked up an apple and took a bite, and immediately said with a disgusted expression, "Second brother, you really don't know how delicious this fruit is!" Ning Jinxin rolled his eyes, smiled evilly and said, "You have the ability, you can let Zhizhi turn some fruits out for us to eat!" ”

Gong Mucheng directly ignored them, when they were two noisy sparrows, they just silently gave Xia Zhili a good and considerate service, poured tea for her, peeled fruit and so on.

A look, a movement, are so delicate and considerate.

Xia Zhi drank fragrant tea while watching the beautiful scenery outside the carved railing window, and suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, look, there are a lot of lotus flowers blooming there, let's go over there and take a look, okay?" ”

Ning Jinxin saw that there was indeed a large lotus pond not far ahead, on which there were a lot of budding early lotuses, and there were many dragonflies surrounding the lotus, flying and spinning there.

He immediately ordered, "Little tree, you let the boatmen row them to the lotus pond to have a look." ”

"Okay!"

Xia Zhi looked at such a beautiful scenery, and suddenly remembered the poem "Little Pond" by Yang Wanli, which everyone knows in modern times. ”

As soon as she finished reading, she heard Ning Jinxin laughing and saying, "Knowing this poem is really appropriate, good poem!" Did Rao'er do it herself? ”

Hearing Ning Jinxin's question, Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and smiled at Ning Jinxin, "I don't have such a good talent, this is what I inadvertently read in a book, and I remember it if I think it's good." ”

Ning Jinxin saw that although she was smiling like a flower, the depression between her eyebrows still did not dissipate, so she teased her, "Got it, since you also like poetry, why don't we play an exciting game, okay?" ”

Qin Che responded immediately, "What game?" Tell me, I'm going to play too. ”
