Since the purging of grievances and Zhaoxue, many people have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion one after another with gifts, under the guise of visiting Suqing, but in fact, to please the princess and father.

At first, the princess was also enthusiastic and gave more generous gifts to show her gratitude. Later, I don't know if it was my father's instructions, or the princess was annoyed, so she simply said that she was unwell and needed to cultivate, so she came to thank her behind closed doors.

Originally, I heard that in order to celebrate the return of the Qing Dynasty, a banquet was going to be held, but looking at the current posture, it is estimated that it is unlikely.

When Jin Su came back from Yunxiang Courtyard, he happened to meet the third and fourth aunts. When he got closer, he called out faintly, "Third aunt, fourth aunt."

The third aunt was still smiling as always, "It's Su'er, this is just coming out of the old lady, right?" ”

"Yes. The third aunt and the fourth aunt also came to see their grandmother, right!? Jin Su pretended to be concerned.

"Hey, didn't you hear that the old lady is not well, come and take a look."

"Well, it was about two days ago that made my grandmother a little sad, and she couldn't sleep peacefully every night. This made the head wind happen again, but fortunately, with Xia Yu taking care of it, it is better today. ”

"Heh~ With the two of you taking care of it, we have saved a lot of worry. Come on, I won't talk to you anymore. After the third aunt finished speaking, she turned around and went to Yunxiang Courtyard with the fourth aunt.

"Third aunt, fourth aunt go slowly!"

Seeing that the two aunts had gone away, Jin Su and Bai Qi continued to walk forward.

Chunyue, this girl, after returning from the purge, ran to the shallow courtyard when she was free, and she was very attentive.

It just so happened that there was nothing to do today, and she decided to go and have a look. As soon as I turned into the road leading to the shōshin courtyard, I heard movement in the lake not far away.

Further on, there is a lake, planted with lotus flowers, small is a little smaller, but the scenery is still good. I heard that it was specially built by my father for An Suqing, aiming to cultivate sentiment and send love to the landscape. Although Jinsu knew, he had never been there.

When I got closer, I heard clearly that it was An Xiayu's shouting.

"There, there! You can see the pull of the lotus leaf when you pull it away. An Xiayu shouted happily.

"Is it this one?"

This voice is Sima Huaibei!

"If you want me to say, just take them all off, and you can choose slowly." An Suqing said.

"No, some of them are too tender, and they need to be raised, besides, after picking them this time, won't they be gone next time? I'd like to make it for my grandmother a few more times! Anxia Yudao.

Jin Su stepped forward and just saw Sima Huaibei jumping off the boat, holding a lotus canopy in his hand, and walking towards An Xiayu with a smile.

Fortunately, An Yasheng is not here, otherwise if she sees this scene, she will have to pull out a layer of Xia Yu's skin. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps behind me.

Looking back, it was Anya who was running towards this side in a hurry.

It's really a narrow road!

An Yasheng ran past her, not even looking at her.

"Brother Huaibei~" Anya Sheng shouted while running, ran to Sima Huaibei, snatched the lotus canopy he was about to give An Xiayu, and said innocently, "Thank you, Brother Huaibei!" I love it! ”

"But it's my ......"

"Summer Rain—"

Jin Su interrupted An Xiayu's words, not wanting her to further anger An Yasheng. The current An Yasheng was already angry, but he couldn't bear it in front of Sima Huaibei.

"Eldest sister~" Xia Yu and Su Qing turned around and shouted in unison.

"Miss~" Sima Huaibei also shouted.

"Major General, Su Qing, it turns out that you are all here, I said that there is no one in the courtyard." Jin Su stepped forward with a smile.

"I came to see Su Qing today, and I happened to meet the second lady picking lotus flowers here, so I came to help her." Sima Huaibei said boldly.

"Brother Huaibei, you came to the mansion, why didn't you tell me! You saved me from the paddock last time, and I haven't thanked you yet! Anya was coquettish.

"Ya'er, what do you say, with the lesson from last time, you can't be so willful in the future, not every time Brother Huaibei comes to the rescue!" Unexpectedly, An Suqing educated An Yasheng, but he looked like an elder brother.

An Xiayu's eyes stared directly at the lotus pod in An Yasheng's hand, frowning, very unwilling.

"Third sister, there are thorns on these lotus canopies, you can be careful, don't get pricked." Jin Su pretended to remind.

An Yasheng let go of a hand to check, probably really pricked, when he threw the lotus canopy to the maid Hongyu behind him.

"What's wrong?" An Suqing asked.

Anya Sheng blew the burrs on his hands, rubbed his hands again, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, Brother Huaibei!" ”

It seems that there is only Sima Huaibei in An Yasheng's eyes, and even her brother can't get into her eyes if she and An Xiayu are regarded as air.

"Now the lotus pod is just ripe, and the lotus heart is not completely bitter, so it is best to cook porridge and steam. Summer rain, let's go pick some too! With that, Jin Su pulled Xia Yu into the boat.

An Suqing then followed, still muttering, "Let me help you row!" ”

As soon as An Suqing held the pole, the boat moved slowly.

An Yasheng on the shore was still holding Sima Huaibei's arm, but the next second......

Sima Huaibei flew and landed on Jinsu's boat in an instant, and said to them with a smile, "Just a few of you, I'm not at ease!" ”

An Yasheng chased to the water's edge and shouted, "Brother Huaibei, Brother Huaibei!" ”

"Third Miss, just wait, we'll be out in a while." Sima Huaibei shouted.

This time it's good, An Yasheng already has a beam with her, and he originally pulled An Xiayu to take a boat to pick lotus flowers just because he didn't want to clash with her head-on. As a result, as soon as Sima Huaibei caught up, this hatred became deeper and deeper.

"Major General, if you leave the third sister like this, she must hate us to death, and you think that we deliberately didn't take her to play?" Jin Su joked.

"yes, yes!" An Xiayu also echoed.

"I ...... Haven't I been worried about your safety, just purge such a weak scholar, it's good to be able to protect yourself, don't count on him! After Sima Huaibei finished speaking, he glanced at An Suqing playfully.

"Hey! Brother Huaibei, I'm a good scholar, but how can I be so weak as you say! An Suqing argued with a red face.

As the boat deepened, I couldn't see Anyasheng's face on the shore clearly, but I didn't need to look to know that I definitely couldn't see where to go. The lotus leaves on both sides became more and more lush, and some of the thick branches were rattling when they were hit by the boat.

The petals of a lotus flower just landed at Jinsu's feet, and he picked it up and looked up. The straight stalk is the lotus leaves on top of each other, and occasionally a gap, you can see that there are lotus flowers that have not completely withered, it can really be said that "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun", no wonder the ancients loved lotus flowers alone.

"Eldest sister, there's a big lotus pod there!" An Suqing shouted.

When they heard the voice, they all looked at it. An Xiayu couldn't hold it back, so she got up and was about to pick it. But as soon as he stood up, the hull of the ship became unstable and began to shake. An Xiayu was originally a weak body, where could he withstand this shaking, and he was about to fall into the water.

Jin Su stretched out his hand to pull, but unfortunately the distance was still too far, and because he was sitting, he grabbed a blank shot.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the water, fortunately, Sima Huaibei picked up An Xiayu with a dragonfly, and flew into the lotus leaf bush.

The boat was already shaking a little, but at this time, it was kicked by Sima Huaibei, and it shook even more. An Suqing was a little flustered, holding the oars tightly.

Jinsu didn't care about the small thorns on the branches of the lotus leaves, grabbed one with one hand, and stepped on the bottom of the boat with his feet, gradually letting the boat calm down.

"It's okay, Clear!" When the boat completely stopped shaking, Jin Su comforted An Suqing.

At this time, Sima Huaibei also fell into the boat properly with An Xiayu in his arms.

Jin Su let go of the lotus leaf, and a little blood beads were already oozing out of her hand, she bent down, picked up the petals, and gently watered the things in her hand to clean up the things in her hand. She didn't see that after An Xiayu was put down by Sima Huaibei, she lowered her head, her red face showed the shyness of her daughter's family, and the whole person was different.

"Are you alright, eldest sister?" An Suqing said with concern.

Sima Huaibei also looked at it.

Jin Su took out a handkerchief to wipe the water off his hands, and said with a faint smile, "It's okay, what about you?" ”

An Suqing spread his hands lightly and said with a smile, "I'm fine, hahaha~~~"

"It's good that I came along, otherwise it would ......," Sima Huaibei joked.

"Hahaha~~~~"

After some small twists and turns, several people talked and laughed freely, and the atmosphere was more relaxed than before.

Shuttling under the lotus leaves, a lot of lotus pods have been picked after a while, this time, Sima Huaibei picked one, An Xiayu held one, for fear of being robbed by someone again.
