Chapter 106: A Chance Encounter on the Lake
The next day it was sunny, but there was a slight breeze, and it was a little less muggy than yesterday.
Feng Cheng took Bai Lu and Xiaoyu straight to Moyu Lake, and waited at the appointed place in advance.
About two quarters of an hour later, Ouyang Jing came with her maidservant, and when she saw Feng Cheng, her face was full of apologies: "Little sister is late, so Sister Feng has been waiting for a long time." ”
Feng Cheng smiled: "It's not late, it's because I'm bored at home and arrived early." Since Sister Ouyang is here, let's get on the boat. ”
The pleasure boat hired by Feng Jinxi stopped at the lake, and several people got on the boat, and as the boat slowly rowed into the middle of the lake, the breeze came slowly.
Ouyang Jing closed her eyes slightly, let the autumn breeze blow her cheeks, and sighed: "At this time, it is really much more interesting to visit the lake than to go shopping, I have long wanted to come." ”
"Sister Ouyang hasn't been here before?"
Ouyang Jing shook his head: "Not yet, originally-"
suddenly thought that the two were not familiar enough to talk about their sweetheart, and the latter words were swallowed by her.
Feng Cheng didn't seem to hear it, and said with a smile: "Eat watermelon, the watermelon specially picked by my third uncle is guaranteed to be very sweet." ”
Ouyang Jing was a little surprised: "Sister Feng's uncle still picked a watermelon for you?" ”
Feng Cheng's face did not change: "Yes, the third uncle heard that I was going to visit the lake with my friends." My third uncle is the best at picking watermelons. ”
Bai Lu had already put the cut watermelon on the table.
Under Feng Cheng's greeting, Ouyang Jing picked up a thinly sliced watermelon and tasted it, and couldn't help nodding: "Uncle Ling is really good to Sister Feng." ”
Feng Cheng also picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it slowly, and said casually: "Sister Ouyang must also be the pearl of the family." ”
Ouyang Jing's expression darkened slightly when he heard this.
The jewel of the home? That's not going to be a deal.
She is at most the pearl of her mother's palm.
"What's wrong with Sister Ouyang, could it be that she has been wronged?" A hand stretched out and held Ouyang Jing's hand.
That hand was soft and warm, with a soothing magic.
Xu is autumn breeze tugged at the heartstrings, Xu is boat floating in the lake makes people's hearts unsettled, and perhaps because they don't know each other's identities, Ouyang Jing suddenly had the idea of confiding.
"It's not a grievance, there are five sisters in the family, and there is only one elder brother, so I can't compare with Sister Feng."
Feng Cheng said softly and comforted: "Sister Ouyang is lively and cute, and there must be no shortage of pain." ”
Ouyang Jing smiled: "My mother loves me very much." ”
Feng Cheng showed a look that he had guessed correctly.
Ouyang Jing sighed: "My brother was not born to my mother, there are six brothers and sisters in the family, and I am the only one born to my mother. ”
"Then Sister Ouyang is the only concubine."
Ouyang Jing laughed at herself: "Sister Feng said that she laughed, how can a small family like us pay attention to this." ”
My father had said many times that they would have to help their eldest brother in the future. My mother mentioned her relationship with Brother Feng to her father a few days ago, but my father refused.
My father said that my eldest brother would be a person who would be an official in the future, and as his younger sister, the marriage should not be decided so hastily.
For this reason, she has been worried for many days.
"Sister Ouyang, let's eat melons."
Ouyang Jing nodded.
The two continued to chat, from rouge gouache to clothes and jewelry, from the famous tofu brain in Nancheng to the fat cat raised at home, the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.
The pleasure boats float at will, the sun shines on the lake, and there are countless pieces of gold.
The pleasant and relaxed atmosphere was broken by Bai Lu's soft sigh.
"Girl, it seems to be my uncle on the boat over there."
Feng Cheng stopped talking to Ouyang Jing and looked in the direction of Bai Lu's finger.
Not far away, a pleasure boat was heading in this direction, and there were two people standing by the railing, one of them was Uncle You in a maroon robe, and the other was a middle-aged man in a royal blue robe.
Ouyang Jing exclaimed, "Father? ”
Feng Cheng looked sideways at her: "That's Ling Zun?" ”
"yes." Ouyang Jing nodded blankly, a little unable to come back to her senses, "That uncle in maroon clothes is Sister Feng's uncle?" ”
Feng Cheng was also surprised: "It's my uncle." It was such a coincidence that my uncle and Ling Zun knew each other. ”
Today, Uncle You and Ouyang Qing will come to visit the lake, and Feng Cheng knew about it from Qian Sankou early in the morning, so he asked the third uncle to book a cruise.
If the plan to get acquainted with Ouyang Jing does not go well, then come with the third uncle, and let Ouyang Qing know her person by chance meeting with his uncle, so as to prepare for entering Ouyang's family in the future.
Fortunately, everything went well, and the time for her to go to Ouyang's house was hopefully advanced.
This side was also found on the other side.
"Hey, that looks like my niece." Uncle You saw Feng Cheng at a glance and rubbed his eyes.
Ouyang Qing was even more direct, opening his mouth and shouting: "Jing'er, why are you here?" ”
Both sides motioned for the boatman to approach the boat, and in a short time the two boats came together.
With the support of the maid, Feng Cheng and Ouyang Jing got on Uncle You's boat.
"I didn't expect my uncle to come to the lake too." Feng Cheng saluted Uncle You.
Facing the niece of a high-born family, Uncle You couldn't put on a show, and said with a smile: "Orange, this is Uncle Ouyang's friend, you can call Uncle Ouyang." Brother Ouyang, this is my niece-"
Receiving Feng Cheng's secret eyes, Uncle You swallowed the words that revealed the identity of his niece.
"I've seen Uncle Ouyang." Feng Cheng bent his knees and took the opportunity to look at Ouyang Qing.
With a fat figure and a smile on his face, such people often look at him with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but Ouyang Qing has a sideways face, and it is difficult to hide his fierce anger.
Because Uncle You didn't point out that his niece was from Shangshu Mansion, Ouyang Qing's attitude was quite normal, and he signaled Feng Cheng to introduce his daughter without much politeness: "This is my eldest girl, Jing'er." Jing'er, called Uncle You. ”
"Uncle You." Ouyang Jing saluted obediently.
"I didn't expect Ling Ai and Orange to be friends."
Ouyang Qing was also surprised, but he didn't think deeply, and said with a smile: "The two children are the same age, it's not strange to be able to play together." Jing'er, how did you meet? ”
Ouyang Jing glanced at Feng Cheng and subconsciously hid what he had just knew: "Sister Feng and I both like to visit Changying Street, and we are familiar with it as soon as we come and go." ”
"I see." Ouyang Qing nodded, because he noticed Uncle You's kind attitude towards his niece, and he happened to beg the other party for something important recently, so he said it without thinking too much, "It's a hot day to run outside, you can invite your sister Feng to come to the house to play." ”
Eating watermelon and talking freely just now made Ouyang Jing closer and closer to Feng Cheng, and she couldn't help but be happy when she heard it: "Sister Feng, if you are free, why don't you go to my house and sit?" ”
"Okay." Feng Cheng smiled.
Ouyang Jing liked the other party's reluctance very much, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Then let's go after the cruise, just have dinner at my house." ”
"Then it's cheeky."
Ouyang Qing looked at the two girls of the same age, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, your Sister Feng is a sensible person at first glance, and you should have more contact with friends like your Sister Feng in the future." ”
The daughter can make friends with You Jingwen's niece, maybe it will help him grind out the other party's secrets.
