On the seventh day of July, it was night.

The cruise ships on Chaohu Lake are like weaving, and the lanterns on the shore are like a city.

Man Zhangzhi, who was wearing a brand-new dark green satin robe, walked on the Dragon and Phoenix Bridge, handsome and chic, with extraordinary charm.

Wang Yingning got out of the carriage and walked slowly along the Longfeng Bridge with the help of Hongyao.

She didn't wear the new dress of butterfly silk and pink sent by the old lady, but only wore a lupine blue long-sleeved gown with a slightly higher collar that she usually wears on weekdays.

Man Zhangzhi turned his head to look at her, and smiled at her.

In the bright lights, he strode in, his face was like jade, and he was full of brilliance, the same as when he was young in his previous life.

It's just that there is a lack of the spring breeze at that time, and the spirit of being satisfied.

After all, in his previous life, he was Lu Qiao's brother-in-law at this time, and the guest of Lord Fujun.

However, at this time, although he did not have that high-spirited sense of publicity, he added gentleness and tenderness under the lamplight.

But in Wang Yingning's opinion, there is no longer the throbbing and joy in his previous life.

At this time, Wang Yingning's eyes were attracted by a child jumping and playing with a small wooden sword.

The child wore a handful of gold shards on her chest, and her tiger head and tiger brain looked like her song'er.

On this noisy and lively Longfeng Bridge, Wang Yingning couldn't see anything else, and her eyes only moved with the child.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near, and then one or two staggered carriages rushed over.

The groom in the carriage tugged at the reins in a panic, but it didn't work at all.

The horse rushed like crazy.

The crowd moved out of the way.

In the middle of the road, there was only the child, unaware.

"Be careful......

Wang Yingning's heart was raised, and she was anxious to rush forward to hug the child.

"You don't want to die!"

Before she could step forward, she was grabbed by Man Zhangzhi's wrist, dragged back, and stopped.

"That kid, he's going to die."

"What are you doing with so much ......?"

Man Zhangzhi's indifferent voice formed a powerful contrast with his handsome and dashing face.

This made Wang Yingning feel more and more chilled and resentful.

At this moment, the carriage came crookedly, and the horse's hooves were about to step on the stunned child.

A black figure rushed out of the crowd, stretched out its long arms, took the child into its arms, and then rolled to the side.

The carriage happened to whizz by.

Wang Yingning mentioned the heart of his throat and eyes, and then fell to the ground, and then went to see the person who saved the child at a thousand moments.

But I only saw the back of the crowd, leaving only the child crying in shock.

The child's parents hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the child to comfort them, and then asked who the benefactor was just now.

The child shook his head ignorantly, saying that he didn't remember, but he remembered that the person was wearing a monster mask.

Wang Yingning looked at the crowd in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Let's go, the flower boat is already waiting." Man Zhangzhi was beside her and reminded lightly.

I didn't feel anything wrong with not trying to save the child.

Wang Yingning lowered her eyes.

Also, he was not even moved by the death of his own son in front of his eyes, let alone the life or death of a person he did not know.

On the flower boat, the arrangement is exquisite.

Above the carved beams and paintings are lanterns with pictures of beautiful women, and there are smoke veil curtains in all directions.

Now that the weather is hot, the curtains are raised high, and the beautiful furnishings in the cabins are unobstructed.

Man Zhangzhi and Wang Yingning took their seats.

On the carved table in front of you, quiches, snacks, flower slices, fresh fruits, nuts, candied fruits, salt bamboo shoots, crisp beans, ...... A table full of people was arranged.

It's all a fashionable snack, and Wang Yingning even saw a honeydew melon from the north.

Man Zhangzhi picked up a piece of quiche and gently put it in front of Wang Yingning.

"Let's eat, it's inconvenient to cook on the boat tonight, as long as you have a snack, I think you women will like it."

Seeing that her face was still blank, Man Zhang's heart couldn't help but rise a trace of anger.

How could he treat a woman so carelessly, and she still didn't appreciate it.

"That child is an inconsequential person, it is understandable whether I save it or not, you have to disgust me with this little thing!"

Man Zhangzhi said in a low voice of hatred.

Wang Yingning had a slight expression on her face, and raised her head and asked:

"It doesn't matter...... What would you do if he wasn't inconsequential, but a relative? ”

Man Zhang was stunned and frowned:

"If it were a relative, I would naturally save it, even if it was inconvenient for me to save it...... The people behind me will save ......."

"Okay, don't think about it, when did you become so indecisive, you shouldn't be that kind of woman's kindness."

In the hearts of their families, Wang Ying would rather not be a good stubble and soft-hearted.

can not return to his mother's house once since he married into the Manchu family, and he can make people smash the mouth of the concubine in front of his eyes......

can splash hot tea on Aunt Yao with the teacup on the head, and can decisively sell the bridal maid with a broken leg to people's teeth......

How soft can she go?

Wang Yingning was blocked by him for the first time and had nothing to say, opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

She is naturally not a soft-hearted person, especially in front of their full family, she can't wait to cut them off early and talk about soft-heartedness.

Turning his head to look at the lake in the light of the light.

The stars are dotted and swaying, and it is impossible to tell whether it is in the sky or in the lake.

"Lady ......"

Man Zhangzhi's voice came out of the back of his head and came softly.

"If we start over, you will forget the grievances you suffered on your wedding night, and I will forget all your disobedience to me."

"Vomit ......"

Wang Yingning then remembered that she had a small seasickness problem.

It's just that I married Man Zhangzhi in my last life, and I never took a boat, so I forgot it.

I spit out the quiche and tea I was going to eat.

Wang Yingning got up and lay on the railing, vomiting vigorously.

Man Zhangzhi frowned, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and extinguished a trace of tenderness that would rise in the next life by a basin of cold water.

Wang Yingning finally stopped throwing up, and returned to the cabin with a sallow face.

Man Zhangzhi's face was blue and she didn't say a word, and she also closed her eyes slightly.

There are many pleasure boats on the lake, some of them are singing and dancing, lively and tight, and some are covered by curtains, so that people can't see the movement inside.

Xiao Jian got on the boat, and there were already a few people waiting inside.

"Master!"

Several people knelt down, Xiao Jian raised his hand to let them get up, and took off the mask on their faces.

They have been outside all the year round, and they have not seen their master for a long time, but when they saw Xiao Jian, they couldn't hide their excitement.

Today is Qixi Festival, people come and go, but the master invites them to meet on Chaohu Lake.

This kind of behavior may seem dangerous, but in fact it is easier to hide from others.

After all, none of the executioners of the imperial court would have expected that people with the blood of the Xiao family would swagger into the crowd and enjoy the lake by boat.

"What's going on over there in Jiankang City?"

Xiao Jian sat down, several people came up, and some people arched their hands and said bitterly:

"The right servant shoots Lord Jiang, Sikong Xu Xiaohe, Lord Xu...... Several loyal people were killed one after another, and when they heard that they were imprisoned because of the unintentional admonition of the right general, I am afraid that it is also more auspicious......"

"The demon concubine Pan and the minister Mei Worm confused the court, fooled the royal bloodline, and killed loyal ministers for fun, forcing the ministers to resign one after another, and the generals each supported their own troops...... It's really going to mess with me! ”

Xiao Jian's eyes were dark, and Xiao Baojuan was vainly the bloodline of the Xiao family, which was simply inferior to a pig and a dog.

"In this world, I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic." Someone sighed softly.

"Chaos is just chaos in the Xiao family," Xiao Jian said indifferently:

"What does it have to do with the world."

The Xiao family's country may have been in chaos for a long time, but this world is very good.

For example, in the city and county where they are located, because of the deeds of the king, there is no famine, no war, and the outside is still singing and dancing, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The people actually don't care that the current Jiangshan is surnamed Xiao and Liu.

"Master! Don't say that! Everyone was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground.

They are all loyal ministers who have followed the Xiao family for many years, and the purpose is to assist the Xiao family in immortality.

Over the years, although they hated Xiao Luan and Xiao Baojuan, father and son, they had wiped out the bloodline of the Xiao family.

But for the Xiao family, they have to swear to the death.

When these people's faces were full of sorrow, they retreated one by one and disappeared into the night.

The flower boat slowly walked to the center of Chaohu Lake, and Xiao Jian put on a mask and stood at the bow of the boat.

I just saw Wang Yingning's flower boat.

On the flower boat, Wang Yingning was vomiting all kinds of meat and vegetables because of seasickness.

He had rarely seen Wang Yingning lose his temper like this, and after vomiting, his thin body lay on the fence, as if he was about to break.

Xiao Jian turned his eyes slightly, and happened to see Man Zhangzhi's unintentional disgusted eyes.

Xiao Hu came from the stern of the boat and saw that his master's good-looking brows were slightly furrowed.

"What's going on at Xiaoxiang Bookstore today?" Xiao Jian asked.

Xiao Hu was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand why the master suddenly cared about the affairs of Xiaoxiang Library, but he still thought about it and said:

"Today is Qixi Festival, and the large and small bookstores and academies in the city are holding poetry and song meetings, and the Xiaoxiang Library, as the largest gathering place for Chinese bachelors in the city and county, naturally has to be held."

"But," Xiao Hu said again:

"This poetry meeting of the Xiaoxiang Library, it is mysterious and grand, and it is not something that anyone can go to if they want to, if there is no invitation distributed by their curator himself, no matter whether it is an official eunuch or a famous family, they will not be able to enter their door."

Xiaoxiang Library is accustomed to engaging in these names, and the more so, the more people flock to it.

Especially people like Man Zhangzhi, who can't ask for it, even more scratching their hearts and lungs to look at its door.

"Do we have an invitation?" Xiao Jian asked again.

Xiao Hu smiled:

"Master, you probably didn't pay attention, one of the brothers who came just now presented the invitation and let you throw it aside."

The few who have been following their masters, though they are only ten. But each one has its own strengths.

There are those with high medical skills, those who are wealthy, and there is no shortage of talents with outstanding literary talents......

Therefore, it is not difficult to get an invitation from Xiaoxiang Library.

"Find an opportunity to send this invitation to the hands of the young master of the Manjia family." Xiao Jian slightly gestured to the flower boat in front of him.
