Chapter 11: Spring Beauty
Shen Ting narrowed his eyes and saluted Ji Liu: "Ji Gongzi." Keiliu also bowed.
Ji Liu didn't reply, he stood straight, smiling slightly, warm as jade, but said: "I'm young, I can't stand the two of you, besides, you two salute with me, I don't know, I think you are a couple with the elders, I am not the two elders, and I can't stand such a courtesy." ”
Hearing this, Shen Ting and Xiliu glanced at each other, and Qi Qi was surprised.
Shen Ting explained with a smile: "Ji Gongzi, what Miss Xi and I gave to Gongzi is just a normal courtesy, we are people of the same generation, although Gongzi is young, he can also bear it." ”
Ji Liu was silent.
At this time, standing beside Ji Liu, a girl in white with bright eyebrows and eyes said: "It turns out that this is Sister Xiliu, I heard about it a few days ago, but I didn't think about it, I saw it here." Sister Xi and Shen Gongzi, are you here to visit Spring Lake together? ”
Shen Ting frowned and owed her a salute: "Miss Wu"
Xiliu understood, so he also owed a salute: "Miss Wu". It turned out to be the young lady of the Taishou family, Wu Zhaoying. The three big families that Nanshui can't mess with - Ji, Wu, and Shen.
Xi stayed back to her: "Xi and Shen Gongzi had something to discuss, so they made an appointment to come here, no, they were about to leave." ”
Ji Liu scoffed: "Oh? What is this business to discuss, to be full of alcohol? ”
Wu Zhaoying continued: "Gongzi Ji, why do you have to force each other, look at the appearance of Shen Gongzi and Sister Xi, isn't it obvious that they are having a tryst here?" How can these be done one by one in front of us? She smiled brightly, her posture was graceful, and she added a playful smile, light and lively.
Shen listened to this, glanced at Wu Zhaoying, and said in his heart, this Wu girl is not good, this is obviously aimed at Xiliu, and I don't know if Xiliu, a careless country girl, has heard it. After thinking for a while, he opened his eyebrows and smiled, "Hahahaha............ Miss Wu is not wrong when she says this. Spring and sunshine are beautiful, everything is recovering, and we can't waste time. You sons and young ladies are still young, so don't discuss the affairs of adults too much. ”
Shen listened to Wu Zhaoying's words, he thought, what is he discussing with Xiliu? It doesn't matter what these little boys and girls do, they care so much, it's just a trick for the children to be jealous, presumably this young lady who is too guarded has heard the rumors of Xiliu, because of Ji Liu, so she is hostile to Xiliu. What kind of character he and Xiliu are, how can they be entangled with this group of little children because of these trivial things. It's better to be vague and leave early. As Minister Shen and Xi Shaodong, time is precious, right?
Shen Ting helped him like this, and Xiliu naturally understood what he meant, so he also smiled and said: "You young ladies came out of the academy today, and it is very rare to think about it, Shen Gongzi, let's not delay them." ”
Shen Ting nodded, and the two saluted, preparing to leave.
Ji Liu suddenly said: "The master allowed me to wait out, not to let us play, but to order me to wait to check and see how the people of Nanshui City are, and go back to write an article." Shen Gongzi is the head of the Southern Water Commerce Department, and Sister Xi is the young owner of the Xi family. The two have been in business for many years, and they must know a lot about the livelihood of this Nanshui City. If you can talk to us about it, it will definitely benefit us a lot. So Ji begged the two of them to give advice. ”
After speaking, he also looked for the stream: "Miss Xier, what do you say?" ”
Xixun next to her heard this and agreed, and she hurriedly echoed: "Exactly, Sister, you and Shen Gongzi have to help us." ”
Shen Tingxi listened to this, and reluctantly glanced at each other again. They were vague in order to get out as soon as possible. But their meaning also shows that they are here to swim in the lake today, and they have a lot of leisure. But the deliberately embarrassed son in front of him is none other than one of the Nanshui characters who can't be fooled at will.
Xiliu was not idle today, and she had just finished negotiating with Shen Ting, she needed to go back immediately to arrange many matters, and she knew that Shen Ting must be busy. So she didn't bother to think too much about it, and used her old method.
She called, "Finch, are there any other arrangements for today?" ”
Que'er hurriedly replied: "Go back to the young owner's house, today's time is a little tight, I have to go to the dock to check the goods in the afternoon, I have to meet the three bosses of the shipment, and I have to arrange people to sort out the account books, these are all the most important things." ”
Seeing that Qi'er replied like this, Shi Xin, the attendant who was standing beside Shen Ting, also hurriedly said: "Young man, we have a lot of leisure today, the Ministry of Commerce will start holding a meeting in a few days, you have been busy in the capital a few days ago, and now it is almost too late to deploy." ”
"What? There was still time this morning, Ji Mou opened his mouth to plead, and the two of them began to get up with their feet on the ground? If you are not happy, you are not happy, so why bother with so many excuses? Without waiting for the stream to listen to the response, Ji Liu sneered gently.
Keiliu: ........................
Shen Ting: ........................
Xiliu said helplessly: "Ji Gongzi misunderstood, how can you not be happy, today is really busy, I can't discuss it with you for too long, Xi is only a shallow learner, let alone give you advice, you can afford it, if you have any questions, please ask." If I can answer, I will definitely talk to you, but Shen Gongzi and I do have something to do next, so I can't stay too long, so I can probably discuss one or two issues with you. ”
Ji Liu is narrow-minded, and Xiliu has seen it. Regression is also a helpless move, it's a big deal to stay up all night today. Although there was no anger in her words, her face had sunk, and coldness overflowed.
Shen Ting echoed: "That's right, what does Ji Gongzi want to ask?" He smiled and was not angry. But if you look closely, those who have a heart will also find that his eyes are slightly narrowed, and a pair of graceful peach blossom eyes are no longer charming.
Everyone is not a fool, seeing this situation and this scene, they can naturally see that this stream and Shen Ting are no longer harmonious, not to mention that Shen Gongzi is in Nanshui, and his status is also well-known, how can he be easily offended. So everyone didn't dare to speak, just stood in place and quietly, and even Xixun seemed to feel the seriousness of the situation, and the hand that grabbed the stream tightened slightly.
Only Ji Liu, not arrogant or impatient, his tone was calm, and he was not ashamed, he pulled his long eyelashes down, covering his eyes: "The two of you are really busy, blame Ji for being rude, and bother the two of you." But I look forward to receiving the teachings of the two of you, so it's better to go where the two of you are going next, I will go with you, and it will not be too late to talk about it when the two of you are free. ”
"And so it goes." Streams didn't want to spend any more time entanglement here, glanced at Shen Ting, and whispered in his ear: "Childe, it's better for us to take one person with each of us, it will also take time to argue here." ”
Shen Ting hesitated for a moment and nodded.
So Xi Liu: "But Shen Gongzi and I have to part ways next, because the itinerary is a bit complicated, you send two classmates to come with you, and when you return to the academy, you can tell each other, the carriage and horses are limited, so in such a hurry and rough, I can't stand you." Consult first who you will send with you, and then depart after half a pillar of incense. Then he made a big salute, turned around and walked to the side, and so did Shen Ting.
On the shore of Qingshui Lake, the willows are still clinging, and Xiliu stands silently under the weeping willow branches. Shen listened and said with a smile: "If Shen and Xi Shaodong's family can have a really idle day, and meet to swim in the lake, it has nothing to do with anything else, but it is really an interesting thing." ”
Keiryu also smiled and replied, "Who said it wasn't?" The water of this clear water lake is shining, and the willows are still around, just as the son said, the spring and the sun are beautiful, if you put a small table and the sake is placed on it, not to mention how elegant it is. ”
