Outside the boat, the sound of water swaying and lapping against the side of the boat.

The four of them sat around lively, chattering about homely things, among which Tang Shirt and Ling Yue had the most words, the two of them were talking and talking, laughing so much that a flower branch trembled, and their waists were bent with laughter, probably because their sweethearts were not far away, Ling Qing restrained herself very well, and did not disregard the image like them, but the corners of her mouth were uncontrollably slightly raised.

Song Yige lowered her head and peeled the peach, and after peeling it, she handed it to the three of them, and several people were not polite, one person took two petals, and soon her palm was empty.

Tang Shirt ate a few bites before saying, "How are things going in your house lately?" ”

Song Yige replied absentmindedly: "It's pretty good." ”

Ling Yue turned around and closed the curtain, and now the painting boat has sailed to the middle of the water, but seeing the lake and mountains, the water is shining and sunny. Song Yige looked up and sighed: "You should come here to visit the lake in spring, how good the scenery is." ”

"Looking at the scene in the house all day long, it's not boring."

Tang Shirt smiled and agreed: "Who said it wasn't." ”

While a few people were talking, they saw a weeping pipa sound coming from another painting boat facing each other with their painting boat, and the fingering of the person who played it was not very good, but the artistic conception of the qin music could correspond to it ten out of ten.

Song Yige also listened, she half raised her head, and the spring light reflected her rippling eyes: "Whose painting boat is that?" ”

Tang Shirt is considered an extremely diligent person who walks around Jinling, so he naturally recognized it at a glance: "It's from Xie Fu." ”

Xie Fu - Song Yige didn't think of someone coldly.

The young man's eyebrows were vivid and unruly, and it was really difficult for people to forget, so Song Yige took it very simply: "But from the Xie Hou Mansion?" ”

Tang Yi nodded: "Yes." ”

When Ling Chu, who had cultivated a relationship with Song Yimo again, heard the name Xie Hou, he turned his head and asked, "What do you say about Xie Hou?" ”

Ling Qing pointed to another painting boat on the surface of the lake that was comparable to them, and said, "Let's talk about it, that painting boat is not from Xie Hou's Mansion." ”

Ling Chu squeezed over: "What are you talking about?" ”

"I don't know who is in it, but the pipa is quite good." Ling Qing said again, "What, brother knows?" ”

Ling Chu's finger was next to the window frame, and he thought for a long time before he said: "Today is the day when the eldest son of the Xie family returns to Beijing, probably Yan Huai and they are here to make a reception banquet for the eldest prince of Xie." ”

Song Yimo also walked over from the other side, looked at Ling Chu's gaze, and nodded clearly: "Is it the eldest son of the Xie family, Xie Jingzhong?" ”

"Maybe Xie Jingchu's grumpy kid is also there, after all, Jingzhong is his brother-in-law." Ling Chu said.

Song Yimo asked again: "I heard that the little marquis of the Xie family is Xie Jingchu, not his brother?" ”

Ling Chu nodded: "Yes, the eldest prince lives in the rivers and lakes all the year round, and rarely returns to Jinling, plus the eldest prince is kind-hearted, and he is not suitable to be in charge of the Hou Mansion, so Xie Hou asked the little prince to be crowned." ”

Song Yimo shook his head: "I see." ”

While the two were talking, the bamboo curtain of the painting boat opposite was also rolled up, and a handsome face poked out of it, it was Yan Huai.

Song Yige was the first to see Yan Huai, so he smiled and bowed his head to him, and the rest didn't say anything more, but Yan Huai was obviously stunned when he saw them, and finally his eyes brightened, and he ran from the painting boat to the deck, shaking his arms.

Ling Chu was the first to see it, he reached out and took the cloak over, and followed him to the deck: "Young Master Yan." ”

Yan Huai was on the other side, smiling brightly and dazzlingly: "Why are you here?" Today is a great day for Jing Zhong to return home, why don't you come together? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a gentle and calm voice from inside: "Ahuai, who is outside?" ”

"It's Shihiko." Yan Huai was so excited that he barely jumped up.

After a while, I saw two men who looked very similar in the painting boat walking out together, but one was sparse and the other was a little arrogant.

Ling Chu arched his hand: "Eldest Prince Xie, Little Marquis." ”

Xie Jingzhong didn't expect to meet him here today, and the smile on his face immediately deepened: "Okay, you kid, I sent you a message saying that I would go back to Jinling today and ask you to pick me up. Xie Jingzhong said, paused, as if gasping for breath, but immediately continued, "Should you admit punishment?" ”

Ling Chu said: "I'm accompanying a few younger sisters out to swim in the lake today, isn't it an important thing?" ”

Since he was a child, Xie Jingzhong couldn't see him say this, he wanted to have a sister since he was a child, but the men of Xie Mansion were prosperous, in their life, there were no girls, so it showed the preciousness of girls, because he was envious of Ling Chu, and he had such a beautiful and sensible sister.

After Xie Jing heard it again, he said, "Is Sister Ling Qing also here?" ”

Inside the painting boat, Ling Qing heard Xie Jingzhong say his name, so he took Song Yimo's hand and walked out.

Although Song Yimo is a man, because of his illness and weakness, he was born very delicate and fragile, just looking at it, he feels that this son is thin, with the appearance of a boy and a girl, he can stand with Ling Qing, but there is an indescribable match.

Xie Jingzhong was stunned, his gaze wandered to the hands of the two of them with ten fingers interlocked, and then said, "This is ......"

"The son of Huaiyang Hou, Song Yimo." Ling Chu said, "It's also the fiancé of the sister, they will get married this autumn, and Jing Zhong will come to ask for a cup of wine to eat." ”

After Xie Jing heard it, he immediately laughed: "Naturally, Sister Ling Qing's happy event not only has to ask for a glass of wine to eat, but also has to give a big gift, I don't know what Sister Ling Qing likes?" ”

Ling Qing blessed herself: "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest prince, Ling Qing has nothing to want, I just hope that the eldest prince can come to have a cup of wine and be happy." ”

"If you like to eat wine, how can I not give you a big gift." Xie Jingzhong said again.

Inside the painting boat, Song Yige was eating peaches and pointed at Xie Jingzhong: "Is that the eldest son of the Xie family?" ”

Tang Shirt hummed: "You have good eyesight." ”

Song Yige ate melon seeds: "A few days ago, I met the little marquis of the Xie family. ”

"How?" Tang Shirt smiled, "Is it just like the rumors, flying and domineering, no one cares about it." ”

Song Yige thought about it very seriously, and bowed his head: "Indeed." ”

On the deck, a few people were still talking, and Song Yige and the others stayed in the painting boat and peeled the melon seeds to eat, and when the melon seeds were eaten in general, they felt the hull of the ship swaying.

Song Yige held Xiao Ji and looked at the lake: "What happened?" ”

Tang Yi also shook his head, and just wanted to speak, when he saw a group of people walking in front of the screen, it seemed that they didn't expect that there were other women in the painting boat, and they were all stunned for a while, only Yan Huai said hello to Song Yige with a smile.

Xie Jingzhong looked at Ling Chu with a little complaint, he thought that there was only one girl like Ling Qing on the painting boat, and she knew her, so naturally it didn't matter, but he didn't think about it, there were three more sitting inside, but fortunately, one of the little girls looked very powerful, and he had never seen it.

Ling Chu took a few steps forward and stood beside Song Yige: "This is my cousin, the girl of the Song family. ”

Xie Jingzhong suddenly gave up his hand, and before he could speak, he saw Xie Jingchu, who usually ignored anyone, stepped forward, blocked in front of him, and said, "It turns out that the girl is the daughter of Huaiyang Hou." ”

"Little Marquis." Seeing that he recognized himself, Song Yige's meek blessing was regarded as answering his words.

Xie Jingzhong said curiously: "Ah Chu, do you know?" ”

"Acquaintance." Xie Jingchu turned around, looked at his brother and said, "I was ordered to go out of Jinling on an errand that day, and I accidentally startled this girl's carriage, but fortunately, there were a lot of girls and didn't embarrass me, but I just don't know, who was the other one who followed the girl that day?" ”

When he said the last sentence, Xie Jingchu's eyebrows and eyes rose slightly, revealing a bit of murderous nature.

Xie Jingzhong stretched out his hand and patted Xie Jingzhong's shoulder: "Are you embarrassed to embarrass a girl?" ”

After speaking, he waved at Song Yige again: "My brother has been reckless since he was a child, and I ask the girl not to care." ”

Where did Song Yige dare to trouble them, he only said: "It's okay." ”

However, Tang Yi was very familiar with the two of them, so he came up and asked directly: "Who was playing the pipa on the painting boat before?" I sound weird and nice, why don't you call someone over too? ”

Xie Jingzhong covered his mouth and coughed a few times, Tang Shan's temperament has a kind of sparseness that is rare in women, and he has played very well with Xie Jingzhong since he was a child, and even Xie Jingchu, who doesn't like to take care of people, has a good relationship with her.

Hearing her ask like this, Xie Jingzhong was embarrassed to say, but Xie Jingchu didn't have this concern: "It's just a girl who sells art, what's there to see." ”

"Yes." Yan Huai was afraid that this little ancestor would have to find people, so he immediately agreed.

Tang Shan naturally understood what they were thinking, and she said angrily: "I just admire that girl's talent." ”

"You don't know this, what do you admire." Xie Jingchu immediately pushed back the words.

Tang Yi was angry, Song Yige stood beside her, and gently pulled her sleeve: "Sister Tang, it's just a human being, if you want to listen to music, just invite a few musicians to the house another day." ”

Tang Shi shook his head, still a little worried about it: "What's the point of that." ”

Ling Yue came over without a trace, pulled the three of them over and sat down, waiting for the five of them to sit in another place and talk, as they spoke, Song Yige smelled the smell of wine.

She turned her head sideways and pulled Ling Qing: "Little sister-in-law, my brother can't drink, you go and persuade me." ”

Ling Qing was also worried, and when she heard her say this, she got up and went over almost without hesitation.
