As far as the eye can see, the large pieces of lotus flowers in full bloom are tightly surrounded by large lotus leaves that are brittle green, and under the illumination of the sun, they stand tall and straight, like a pure heart and proud bones, and they seem to be delicate, and they are in a variety of postures and different forms.

In the river, there is a three-story luxury boat with a slope top, each layer of the eaves is hung with a row of red lanterns, fluttering in the wind, the dark wood wall, carved with complex landscapes, flowers and birds, looking at it, it looks like a mansion on the water.

Jin Luoluo got on the boat under the leadership of Ye Qingqiu, there were waiters on it, opened the sliding door of the boat to welcome them in, after passing through a few rooms, the waiter in the room opened another sliding door, and suddenly the dazzling light hit, Jin Luoluo walked out with Ye Qingqiu, and came to the bow of the boat.

I saw a big light yellow canopy umbrella on the bow of the boat, embroidered with a circle of delicate cloud patterns, patterns, fish patterns, water patterns, from top to bottom, under the water lines is hanging a string of shallow spikes, the breeze blows, and the small "ding dong" sound made by the collision between the hanging ears is very pleasant.

I saw that under the canopy umbrella, a man in a dark robe was standing with his back to the direction of Jin Luoluo at this time.

Hearing the movement, the man turned around slightly, and when his eyes touched Ye Qingqiu, he smiled faintly and called, "Qingqiu." ”

The voice of the exit was obviously soft, but Jin Luoluo felt the momentum from the man who had been in the top position for the first time.

Jin Luoluo followed Ye Qingqiu forward and looked at the man carefully.

Although the man is a dark color, but the fabric is not that dull dark color, but still slightly shiny, and the cuffs are made of yellow splicing, embroidered with delicate light-colored cloud patterns, four bright yellow amber lotus buttons on the chest, also brighten this body a lot, a bright yellow narrow brocade on the waist embroidered with delicate light-colored plum blossom folded branches, hanging a hanging ice flower hibiscus jade hanging spike, cool color in this hot summer added a lot of refreshing feeling.

Jin Luoluo's eyes looked at it carefully, coupled with the man's tone, he knew that this person's identity was not simple, although Ye Qingqiu's friends were not simple, but Jin Luoluo was still keenly aware that the momentum exuded by this man was by no means the same kind of person as the other people here.

I saw Ye Qingqiu step forward and smiled happily: "Third brother, long time no see." ”

It turned out that he was the man who had just surprised Ye Qingqiu slightly in the restaurant.

Ye Qingqiu took Jin Luoluo forward and sat at the table with everyone. The man known as the third brother also stepped forward slowly, sat down elegantly and gently, glanced at Jin Luoluo beside Ye Qingqiu, and said with a faint smile: "This new face, Qingqiu doesn't introduce you?" ”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and introduced to everyone: "This is Jin Luoluo, the female owner of Daqian Village, who was originally talking to her in the restaurant today, but she ran into Yuchen and Yizhu, thinking that she would be fine after eating, so she came to participate in the lotus appreciation party with Luo Luo. ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Jin Luoluo with Ye Qingqiu's introduction. Jin Luoluo nodded to everyone with a faint smile, and everyone began to introduce themselves one by one.

Among them, there was a naughty teenager, and after the introduction, he asked with a wicked smile: "I wonder if Miss Luo Luo is married or not?" ”

Jin Luoluo sneered, and was about to answer, only to see Ye Qingqiu quickly pick up a big cherry on the table and throw it at the man, scolding: "What nonsense!" ”

The naughty man ducked, and everyone laughed at this time.

The third brother picked up a cup of tea on the table, and while elegantly bringing it to his mouth, he said lightly: "Qingqiu and Miss Luoluo, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as talking about business, right?" ”

Ye Qingqiu smiled softly and replied: "It's still the third brother who is powerful, you can see through it at a glance!" That's right, I've been courting this Lolo girl lately! ”

Hearing this, everyone let out a sound of ill-intentioned sighs.

Jin Luoluo's ears quickly turned crimson, a little embarrassed. As soon as his eyes turned, he just caught a glimpse of the third brother's hand serving the tea slightly, and his eyes were dull for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, and drank a sip of tea in the cup lightly.

The speed of this instantaneous transformation was so fast that Jin Luoluo was a little skeptical that it was her hallucination just now.

After coming back to his senses, Jin Luoluo turned his head to Ye Qingqiu and said, "Young Master Ye, don't talk nonsense. ”

Ye Qingqiu knew that she was shy, looking at her slightly shy appearance in front of everyone, she really wanted to kiss the two of them, but because there were too many people, Ye Qingqiu restrained the urge to rise.

I only heard Yuchen shake the ebony bone fan in his hand, and said to Jin Luoluo with a smile: "Miss Luoluo, this is the first time I've heard Brother Qiu personally say that he wants to pursue a certain girl, Miss Luoluo, you should hurry up and get rid of our Brother Qiu!" ”

Yizhu also answered: "Yes, our Brother Qiu is such an excellent man, you can't find it with a lantern!" ”

Others also chimed in: "Become our Brother Qiu's woman, and you will be waiting to enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of your life!" ”

Jin Luoluo was dumbfounded for a while, but fortunately, Ye Qingqiu waved his hand to everyone at this time, and interjected: "Okay, okay, Miss Luoluo came out for the first time, don't scare her." ”

"Ouch, I said Brother Qiu, let's just say a few words, you can't stand it!"

"This is really holding Miss Luo Luo in the palm of your hand!"

"Tut-tut, Brother Qiu, you've changed!"

Suddenly, everyone burst into hearty laughter.

After laughing, Yuchen shook the ebony bone fan and said: "However, I'm very curious, Brother Qiu Yushu is in the wind, known as the most beautiful man in Mandu City, and there is a woman he needs to pursue, it's really strange!" ”

At this time, the naughty man from before spoke again: "I still remember the last time there was a beautiful man recognized by everyone in Mandu City, it was the former prince of the previous generation!" Although the former prince died young, he heard that his appearance was particularly amazing, and his demeanor was even more elegant...... Eh, why do I say your hand always stabs me? The man turned his head to look at Yizhu next to him in displeasure.

Yizhu was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly dumbfounded.

The man turned his head again and continued to laugh: "You say, if that prince and Brother Qiu are in the same era, who can be better?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an unusual silence on the table.

Some people even raised their eyes slightly and glanced in the direction of the third brother, with a hint of worry and ...... in their eyes Afraid.

Jin Luoluo was a little confused, and when he turned his head to look at Ye Qingqiu, he saw Ye Qingqiu frowning slightly, and his lowered eyes had complex feelings that Jin Luoluo couldn't understand. Jin Luoluo was a little surprised, the naughty man's words just now seemed to mobilize Ye Qingqiu's certain emotions.

In front of the silent table, I only heard Yuchen shaking the rhythm of the fan slightly chaotically. Fortunately, the summer breeze that blows from time to time seems to be the reason for soaking in this lotus pond, not with the stuffiness that makes people breathless, but with a hint of coolness to relieve the heat, and mixed with the faint fragrance of lotus flowers.

After a long time, the third brother smiled slightly and said lightly: "In my eyes, the beauty of light fur is really incomprehensible. Descendants are unattainable, and predecessors are incomparable. ”

Hearing this, Jin Luoluo obviously felt that the people at the table were all relieved.

But Jin Luoluo raised her eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the third brother, she always felt that the third brother's words made her a little awkward.

The atmosphere at the table began to return to normal little by little.

The third brother held the white jade teacup with only half of the tea left on the table, and continued with a slight smile while playing with it: "However, when it comes to the former prince of the previous generation, do you really think that he just died young? ”

The naughty man was suddenly surprised, and then said, "Is there any secret affairs of the court that are not well known?" ”

The third brother looked at Ye Qingqiu with a smile, did not stop playing with his hands, and said with a slight smile: "I heard that the former prince of the previous generation died young, but he had an inseparable connection with the Ye family back then. ”

Jin Luoluo was stunned and looked at Ye Qingqiu suspiciously.

Ye Qingqiu was also obviously stunned, then looked at the third brother, frowned slightly, and said, "What does it have to do with my father?" ”

The third brother said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the Ye family was a great hero back then." If there was no Master Ye to report to the Emperor Taishang back then, how could the former prince be easily grounded by the Emperor Taishang, and he would have died in depression in less than a winter. ”

Ye Qingqiu's hands under the table suddenly clenched his fists, and the whole person exuded an imperceptible anger.

"My dad snitching?" Ye Qingqiu asked.

"yes. Back then, Master Ye told the Emperor that the prince had formed a party for personal gain, and the Emperor Taishang was angry and imprisoned the prince in the prince's mansion. ”

"No wonder!" Naughty man said.

"What's the blame?" Yizhu asked.

"Now the Ye Mansion is rich enough to rival the country, it turns out that it was because of the meritorious informant at the beginning!"

Ye Qingqiu's voice sank a little, and said: "These unfounded rumors, please don't talk nonsense about the third brother." ”

The third brother seemed to notice the displeasure on Ye Qingqiu's body, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately smiled faintly and said: "I didn't want to talk about these secret things, but when I saw Qingqiu today, I was happy, and I couldn't help but say a few more words for a while." In the final analysis, Ye Fu played a decisive role in the original enthronement of the current saint, which is a good thing. ”

After speaking, the third brother got up, picked up the wine jug, leaned over and poured a glass of wine for Ye Qingqiu personally, then filled it for himself, picked up the wine glass and said, "Qingqiu, this glass of wine, I respect you." ”

Ye Qingqiu's face was calm, the fist on his knee did not loosen, nor did he raise his hand, as if he didn't want to give the third brother this face.

After half a ring, Ye Qingqiu still didn't move. Jin Luoluo was a little worried, and gently raised his hand to soothe Shang Ye Qingqiu's clenched fist.

Ye Qingqiu's body was stunned, and he turned his head in surprise, only to see Jin Luoluo smiled slightly: "The third brother is toasting you, what kind of god!" ”

Ye Qingqiu was slightly stunned, then took a deep breath, then slowly released his clenched fist, raised his hand, picked up the wine that the third brother poured for him, clinked glasses with the third brother, and then drank it.

The third brother smiled and watched Ye Qingqiu drink it, and then slowly drank the wine in his hand.

After finishing, the third brother did not sit down in a hurry, but smiled faintly and said: "However, if the Ye Mansion does something that the Holy Lord cannot tolerate today, the glory of the Ye Mansion will be said to be defeated, and it will be a matter of one night." But ......"

"What does the third brother mean, that my Ye Mansion can only survive under the protection of the imperial court forever?" Ye Qingqiu interrupted with a slight raised eyebrow.

"Nope." The third brother smiled, "What I want to say is that as long as I am here, I will definitely protect you." ”
