On the sparkling surface of the lake, several pleasure boats are scattered.

On a few boats with two or three people sat the ladies of Qidu, and a noble girl in red clothes had an outstanding temperament among the nobles. But seeing her sideburns and new clouds, her face is like a hibiscus, her eyebrows are bent and crescent, her eyes are like autumn water, and under the autumn sun, a fan is gently shaken in her hand.

Shen Changping leaned on the railing of the cruise ship and couldn't help but look stupid.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and everyone loves to see a beautiful lady.

And the lady in the red dress also looked at Shen Changping, but her eyes fell on the direction behind Shen Changping, Shen Changping looked back curiously, it turned out to be Xu Shaoye, or the plainly dressed scholar next to Xu Shaoye.

Seeing Shen Changping looking over, Xu Shaoye smiled at Shen Changping, but Shen Changping pretended not to know him, and turned around to continue to look at the red-clothed lady.

The boat on which the red-robed lady was sitting was passing by Shen Changping's big pleasure boat, and her clear voice also floated into Shen Changping's ears:

"Who's that son?"

Beside her, Miss Lushang said in surprise: "Third Prince Xu, don't you know Yuanyi?" ”

Oh, it turned out to be the daughter of the Wen County Shou family - Wen Yuanyi.

Shen Changping had seen this name on the invitation list before.

Then look at the cruise ship where Wen Yuanyi was sitting, carrying three noble girls; There were also two pleasure boats closely following her, each carrying two noble girls.

Three small pleasure boats carried a total of seven noble women.

This is the famous "Seven Golden Flowers" in the noble daughter of Qidu.

These seven noble girls are a group of girlfriends composed of several young ladies from Qidu families, they have a comparable family background, rich and expensive, often travel together, or hold poetry parties, because of their rich family background, thousands of pets, they live freely, and live as the women of all Qidu want.

Wen Yuanyi, the daughter of the county guard, has outstanding appearance in the seven golden flowers, and her reputation is also very good, not like the green-clothed woman next to her, who is flying and domineering, and there is no one in her eyes.

At this moment, the woman in green was leaning on Wen Yuanyi's shoulder, casting a coveted gaze in Xu Shaoye's direction.

The third son of Dr. Qing's family, Xu Shaoye, the newly sealed captain of the three armies of King Qi, how could the nobles of Qi not know each other?

Wen Yuanyi put the fan in her hand on the delicate face of the green-clothed woman, and said with a gentle smile: "Zhang Ying, in your heart, am I so lonely and unheard?" I'm asking, who is the scholar next to Xu Sangongzi. ”

Zhang Ying pulled down Wen Yuanyi's fan, sat up and looked at the big cruise ship-

Zhang Ying's slender figure is slightly different from that of other young ladies, she has a plump body, a goose egg face, black hair like a cloud, a red face like jade, two lines of crescent moon on her eyebrows, and a little dansha on her red lips, which is quite aggressive.

Zhang Ying had already seen Zhou Yan, and couldn't help but say "Huh", "Which family is this scholar from?" A poor sour taste. ”

Zhang Ying showed a look of disgust as she spoke, and she held her breath slightly, as if Zhou Yan's poor sour smell had come to her nose.

The two pleasure boats have passed by.

Wen Yuanyi turned his head and continued to look at Zhou Yan: "What kind of poor sourness, it is obviously a clean and righteous atmosphere." ”

"Fresh breeze? It seems that you admire him very much, then I'll help you inquire later, which family is he, and you should marry him. ”

Zhang Ying said this, and was beaten by Yuanyi.

"Let you talk nonsense, watch me tear your mouth."

"I should have blinded you." Zhang Ying was not to be outdone.

The banter and scolding of the two girls disappeared and drifted away on the surface of the lake.

Shen Changping couldn't help but look back at Zhou Yan beside Xu Shaoye curiously.

Shen Changping, as the eldest sister in the family, naturally wanted the other sisters of the Shen family to take her as the first step.

At this moment, on the same cruise boat, several young ladies from the Shen family who were sitting on Shen Changping's left and right saw that Shen Changping had been staring at the scholar in the moon-white plain clothes, so they also looked at it curiously.

Probably sensing a few hot lines of sight, Zhou Yan also looked at them, and then staggered his gaze in a panic, pretending to turn his head to look at the lake.

On both sides of the lake, the Wang family let people set up a few pergolas, and the young ladies were calling friends to have fun in the pergola, and some people walked out of the pergola to watch the flowers, fruits and trees by the lake, or ate wine and played games in the pavilions, or fished on the lakeside.

These interesting scenes were all boring in Zhou Yan's eyes, not as interesting as his books.

He murmured to Xu Shaoye and complained: "Ah Ye, I said don't pull me here, you have to pull me here, it's really a waste of my time studying." ”

Zhou Yan's pedantic and old-fashioned, Xu Shaoye was not surprised, and even when he first became acquainted with him, he was attracted by his tendon appearance. Thinking about it, there are people next to him who are active and can calculate the city government, and when they come into contact with a simple and upright person like Zhou Yan, will their eyes shine?

Xu Shaoye knocked on Zhou Yan's shoulder, turned his face over, and then pointed in the direction of Shen Changping, and said, "Look at that young lady, do you know each other?" ”

Zhou Yan only glanced at Shen Changping, then lowered his head, flustered and dissatisfied, and said, "Ah Ye, don't look at the gentleman's indecency!" ”

Xu Shaoye laughed, "You can pull it down, you have run away from marriage with others, and you don't look at it." ”

When Shen Changping heard this, he couldn't help but accept his color.

Shen Changping's side, several of his younger sisters were angry.

Although she is a younger sister, because she was pregnant and gave birth to several aunts on the same day, she is the same age as Shen Changping, and she is only a few months younger, or even a few days younger.

"Big sister, he's insulting you!" Miss Shen Er was the first to speak.

As soon as the other sisters wanted to speak, they were stopped by Shen Changping reaching out.

Not far from the cruise ship, a three-person boat that had just unloaded the tourists was turning leisurely, ready to pick up people on the other side, only to hear Shen Changping say to the other sisters: "You sit tight, don't follow." So saying, he got up and jumped, and landed in the small boat.

On the boat, the boat lady was rocking the oar, and was startled by Shen Changping: "Second young lady......"

She didn't stop shouting, only to hear the "whoosh" of the wind blowing, and two more people landed in her boat.

The sudden arrival of the three people made the originally small boat shake violently, and the boat lady was so frightened that she forgot to rock the oar, and the next conversation between the three made the boat girl even more stunned-

"Ah Ye, you can't make this kind of joke! I didn't know this young lady at all, how could I kidnap her and run away from marriage? Zhou Yan's white face turned red at this moment.

Xu Shaoye said: "You don't know her, and because she was beaten by the Shen family, she almost lost her life?" ”

Zhou Yan looked at the girl who was standing firmly on the boat, with fresh eyes and jade wrists, a shallow skirt lined with a Hunan skirt, and a calm expression: "She is-"

"She is the eldest lady of the Shen family, the second young lady of the Wang family." Xu Shaoye said that he was quite proud, and said, "Ah Yan, do you know who you are taking the blame for?" Who did she run away with? ”

Zhou Yanne: "Who?" ”

Xu Shaoye pointed at himself, "Me! ”

The boatlady let out a scream and fell into the river.

If she is going to die, she is going to die, what has she heard, is this going to be extinguished?

However, it was clear that she fell into the river by herself.

In the distance, the big pleasure boat had rowed away, and the sisters of the Shen family looked in the direction of the eldest sister, and they didn't know what the eldest sister said to the two sons, so they saw the boat lady suddenly fall into the water and then swam to the shore.

As the boat lady fell into the water, the whole small pleasure boat shook, the three people on the boat staggered, Xu Shaoye reached out to help Shen Changping, and Zhou Yan actually fell on Shen Changping, Shen Changping instinctively pushed him away, his body fell into the lake, he tried to grab Shen Changping's feet to do the last self-rescue, and was kicked by Shen Changping and fell into the water completely.

Because of the force of the heavy kick, Zhou Yan's body sank into the water for a while.

The surroundings were full of gurgling bubbles, and some pictures suddenly flashed in Zhou Yan's mind in the water-

yes, that day on the sea, he was pushed down from the boat, and with him was a bride in a wedding dress, and the bride kicked him so hard in the sea—

It turned out to be her!

These pictures also suddenly returned to Shen Changping's mind.

It turned out to be him!

Shen Changping looked at the lake, and Zhou Yan surfaced and struggled like a landlubber.

Shen Changping pushed Xu Shaoye into the lake, scolding in his heart: What kind of person? actually stood by and watched, did she still want to go into the water to save people? Although the person was kicked into the water by her.

……

……

Zhou Qing walked into the alley, stood at the door of a family, and looked at the address in his hand.

This is the address Weng Yirui gave her.

My mother is here, and I don't know what Weng Xun sent to my mother.

Zhou Qing stepped forward to knock on the door, the door was locked from the inside, and Zhou Qing called the door, but he couldn't open it.

She put her ear to the door, and vaguely heard Zhou Niangzi's cry for help inside the door, and Zhou Qing was startled.

Fortunately, the courtyard wall of this house is not high, although the main gate cannot be entered, Zhou Qing climbed the wall on the side and jumped in.

Falling from the courtyard wall to the ground, Zhou Qing was in pain, but struggled to get up, rushed into the house, and shouted: "Mother, mother-"

Zhou Qing followed Zhou Niangzi's cry for help and finally found the room where Zhou Niangzi stayed, but saw Zhou Niangzi fall to the ground, bleeding from her head, and a young man who seemed to be very sick was standing next to her.

The sick man was holding a vase in his hand, which was now half broken, and there were still blood stains on the broken wound.

Seeing Zhou Qing who suddenly appeared, the sick man staggered and aimed the vase at Zhou Qing.

"Zhou Qing, run!" On the ground, Zhou Niangzi shouted weakly.

You can't run if you run, and if you run, your mother will die.

In a hurry, Zhou Qing picked up the flat pole in the corner of the wall and rushed up to fight with the sick man.

"Who are you? Why did you kill my mother? Zhou Qing was a little woman and didn't have much strength, but with the anger in her heart, she beat the sick man to the ground with a flat pole in three or two strokes.

The sick man fell, but Zhou Qing didn't stop, and continued to beat the man with a flat pole, for fear that he would wake up.

Zhou Niangzi stopped her: "Zhou Qing, don't beat him to death, he is ...... Lord Weng's nephew......"

Zhou Niangzi said that she also passed out.

Zhou Qing looked at the unconscious Zhou Niangzi, and then at the unconscious sick man, threw down the flat burden in his hand, and first reached out to probe Zhou Niangzi's snort, she was still alive.

He reached out again to probe the sick man's snort, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's all alive.
