Ling Xinan stayed in his study, staying all morning, he didn't do anything, but sat in front of his bookcase, with rice paper spread out in front of him, and Kumquat had already polished the ink next to him.

Kumquat was in a hurry, so the third young master just took the pen and sat all morning, neither writing nor painting, just sitting stupidly.

I don't know what the young master is doing.

Ling Xinan wanted to paint a portrait of Yi'er, but he didn't know how to write. I didn't think about it at first, her appearance was all in her mind, and she could produce a picture of a beautiful girl who captivated the country and the city with her pen. But now, he only saw the woman's indifferent face, and the smile of the year was long gone.

He seemed to have forgotten, forgotten her laughter.

Forgot to laugh, how to write.

"Young master, you are following Tang Bohu, draw anything casually, people will definitely rush to ask for it." Kumquat admired Ling Xinan, in Kumquat's eyes, the third young master was a talent, if Ling Xinan said second, who else dared to say first.

Ling Xinan still couldn't draw, put down the pen heavily, and said to himself, "I won't paint today." ”

Get up, get up without hesitation, I want to run out, I can't stay in the house.

Kumquat was stunned, the young master used to paint a masterpiece, and a pillar of incense was enough. Every painting can support a slave family like her, but the young master has stopped mentioning the pen recently, and he is depressed all day long.

As soon as Ling Xinan arrived in the mansion garden, he saw his mother and a woman approaching, and when the woman saw him, she shouted to him with a smile, "Xinan." ”

Ling Xinan wanted to walk away, but Mrs. Ling stopped him, "Where are you going, Siying is here, you just go?" ”

Ling Xinan frowned slightly, and smiled reluctantly when her mother and Feng Siying approached.

Feng Siying smiled softly, "Today's weather is very good, Siying wants to go out for a cruise, I heard that the lotus garden in the Zizhu Courtyard of Baishiqiao, the lotus flowers are very good, Xinan, why don't we go and have fun today?" ”

Ling Xinan was so interested, and he looked unwilling.

Mrs. Ling was a little angry in her heart, and she had long wanted to make Siying and Xinan together. Siying actually has this heart, and she should have fulfilled her wish.

"Miss Siying has spoken, Sinan you have to accompany Miss Siying for a walk." Mrs. Ling commanded.

Under the oppression of her mother, Ling Xinan had no choice but to accompany Feng Siying out of the house.

The carriage was prepared outside the gate of the mansion, and Siying got into the carriage with a smile. Ling Xinan looked at her mother standing at the door, and had no choice but to sit down with her.

But along the way, Ling Xinan didn't look at Si Ying, and he was silent.

～～～～～～～

It's a coincidence, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest lady Gu is like Mrs. Ling, and she wants to make Ji'er and Jian Xiu more everywhere. After breakfast, I asked Jian Xiu to ask if he had anything to do today.

Jian Xiu came back to ask his servant and said, "There are not many official duties today, so you don't have to go there in person, but my mother asks if there is something wrong?" ”

The servant woman hurriedly smiled and said, "The eldest lady asked the fourth young master to take Miss Biao to the cruise." ”

Cruise?

The corners of Jian Xiu's mouth curled into a smile, this method is good. Thinking that in the past two days, I have stayed in Zixuan Pavilion and have not moved much, and it is also very good to go out to see the scenery.

"Okay." Jian Xiu should take a bite.

Hearing that she was going on a cruise, Chunlin prepared mung bean cakes for the young lady and brought a basket of food boxes to the carriage.

The eldest lady explained, no one should follow, and Chunlin naturally couldn't follow.

With such an obvious match, no one else in the Prime Minister's Mansion can see it. Miss Liu is not stupid, and she understands what Gu means.

But she didn't refuse, but followed Gu's wishes.

After all, she is a girl's heart, and she has never gone out to play, but has played in the capital. She hadn't been around Beijing City, but she went to the temple fair with Yun Xiu that time.

As soon as she heard that there were mountains, rivers and flowers, she naturally felt interested, just like butterflies love to fly in the sea of flowers, and she was the same as that kind of mentality.

went out to play, Jian Xiu's brocade dress and guard logo uniform changed again, and changed into an ice blue cardigan with narrow sleeves, when Miss Liu walked out, it was simply a couple's outfit as if she had made an appointment.

Miss Liu also wore an ice blue dress, Hua Ying deliberately picked it, saying that it was deliberate, and it was true.

Miss Liu didn't know.

There were too many matching tracks, but Miss Liu didn't care. Jian Xiu didn't know what joy had become in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked so respectable.

The two came to Baishiqiao Zizhuyuan Lotus Garden, and after getting off the bus, the scenery of this suburb of Beijing immediately attracted Miss Liu.

Looking at the lake in the past, the lotus flowers on the water surface and the green leaves and red flowers are quite attractive.

There are rows of willow trees on the water's edge, and a stone path goes around the lotus pond, and the small purple emerald flowers on the roadside attract many butterflies to fly.

Looking at all this, Miss Liu curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.

Jian Xiu was behind her, watching her gently swing her sleeves, and with a slight wave of her jade hand, those butterflies flew towards her as if they heard a command, stopping on her shoulders and even on her bun.

This scene is as if she is a fairy in a beautiful painting, and can attract all kinds of flying butterflies, as if they are their butterfly mothers.

Jian Xiu looked stunned.

When Miss Liu saw him looking back at him with a smile without moving, he reflected and took a slender step closer to her. With a smile, he pointed to the small pier in front of him where you could get on the boat.

The two of them continued to walk.

But at this time, Ling Xinan and Feng Siying happened to come over and came in response.

Feng Siying smiled, "The commander is so free today, and he also came to this lotus garden cruise?" ”

Ling Xinan just stared at Miss Liu in such a sluggish manner. Miss Liu was slightly stunned when she met his gaze, never thinking that she could meet him wherever she went.

Jian Xiu took Miss Liu's hand restlessly, looked at Ling Xinan, and envied him as if he was preaching, "Mother asked me to accompany Yi'er out to play, how could I not come, Third Young Master Ling is not so free, accompany Miss Siying out to play." ”

Ling Xinan just watched in silence and didn't say a word.

Si Ying hurriedly smiled, "It's all out on a cruise, so it's better to be together." ”

Miss Liu may have wanted Ling Xinan to stop pestering her, and she didn't hide from Jian Xiu when she held her hand.

But the more Miss Liu was like this, Ling Xinan's face became more ugly and her mood worse.

Jian Xiu was not afraid to be in the same boat with him. He grabbed Miss Liu's hand and didn't let go, and took her directly to the boat first.

Ling Xinan did not flinch because of Jian Xiu's affection for Miss Liu, and followed closely.

The four of them got on a small boat, and under the wooden shed with fluttering curtains, a low table was placed, and tea and snacks were placed on it.

The boatman who rocked the boat wore a hat and gently swung his oars at the stern, and the boat slowly stretched out the lotus leaves and headed towards the lake.

They sat facing each other, man to man, woman to woman, but Miss Liu's eyes did not stop at the boat, but looked sideways at every beautiful green leaf and red flower that the boat passed.

Si Ying looked at Ling Xinan with a smile on her face, and sighed, "I forgot to bring pen and ink when I first left the house, otherwise Xinan painted a beautiful picture here, which would really be appropriate." ”

Speaking of painting, Ling Xinan glanced at Miss Liu again.

Once in the beautiful place of Luoding Prefecture, he traveled with her, and painted such a picture, the smile of the alluring city on the painting, who would not be obsessed with it.

Miss Liu also vaguely remembered in her mind that Liu Piao's memory was with her, she was slightly stunned, but Ling Xinan saw it with a fleeting expression.

Is she nostalgic?

He felt a little excited.

"Remember, drink tea." Jian Xiu picked up the teacup on the low table and handed it to Miss Liu with his own hands, deliberately cutting off Ling Xinan's sight.

Miss Liu looked back and pursed her lips and smiled at Jian Xiu, smiled deliberately, smiled gently, took his tea, and drank it slowly.

Ling Xinan's eyebrows twitched, but Siying saw it all, and she picked up a piece of pastry from the butterfly plate on the table and sent it to Ling Xinan's mouth.

Thinking that she could smile at others like this, he was not ambiguous, and opened his mouth to let Si Ying personally deliver the piece of pastry to his mouth.

He had a lot of things in his heart to say to her, but he didn't have the opportunity to be alone.

Ling Xinan looked at the lake from afar, how could he have a good conversation with Ji'er.

In the silence for a while, the four of them had different thoughts.

Si Ying wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a further relationship with Ling Xinan, thinking that at this time on the lake, like a boat rocking, accidentally fell into the lake, Ling Xinan would definitely be in a hurry to save herself.

She glanced quietly at the boatman who was rocking the boat at the stern, and gave the boatman a look, and the boatman clearly understood, as if he were receiving the message.

She got up slowly, and walked to the bow of the boat very naturally and casually, with a relaxed demeanor just admiring the lake, facing the breeze, and breathing fresh air.

The boatman deliberately exerted force, and suddenly the hull of the boat shook. Seeing that the boat was shaking, Siying was not unstable, but she pretended to be unstable, and then fell into the lake as if her body was overturned.

When Ling Xinan saw it, she was suddenly frightened, and she didn't hesitate to jump into the water to save her.

When the boat rocked, Miss Liu leaned on Jian Xiu's chest, and Jian Xiu hurriedly reached out and grabbed the boat, but he could see that the boatman did it on purpose.

But the situation suddenly didn't mean that Siying had discussed it with the boatman, it just made her fall into the water. The boatman's force was too great, and even after Siying fell into the water, he wanted to shake Jian Xiu and Miss Liu on the boat into the water together.

When Ling Xinan jumped into the water to save Siying, Jian Xiu noticed that something was wrong, and he held down Ji'er to make her sit down and hold on. A turnaround reached the stern of the ship, but the boatman suddenly drew a knife from under the wooden block on the deck, and when Jian Xiu flashed in front of him, he swung it over.

Jian Xiu leaned and dodged.

This sudden scene made Miss Liu at a loss, she looked at Jian Xiu and the boatman fighting in a panic, but she was worried about Ling Xinan and Siying in the lake.

She didn't worry about Jian Xiu, she knew a little bit about Jian Xiu's martial arts ability, but Ling Xinan, he didn't know water, but he was slightly afraid of water, which only Liu Piaoyi knew.

He was a little afraid of the water and went to save people.

Feng Siying may not have thought that Ling Xinan used to know water, but four years ago, when she was saving Kumquat in the water, she almost lost her life because of leg cramps, and it was from that time that Ling Xinan was already a little afraid of water.

Seeing that Ling Xinan couldn't drag Feng Siying up, Miss Liu was anxious, and couldn't help blurting out to him, "Xinan, don't be afraid." ”

This sentence made Ling Xinan glance at her in the lake, as if he had surging strength, and he dragged Feng Siying to the side of the boat as soon as he used his strength.

But the stern Jian Xiu and the boatman were fighting so that the hull of the boat shook even more, and the boatman spun in the air as if he wanted to split the hull with the knife in his hand.

Jian Xiu quickly dodged the man's attack, and a spinner kick kicked the boatman into the water.

However, under the fierce action just now, the boat suddenly tilted to one side, and Miss Liu leaned on the pole of the boat and the boat overturned and fell into the water.

Suddenly, the lake was splashing.

On the shore of the lake, when the coachmen of the two carriages saw it, they couldn't help but scream in panic, and shouted to their masters in the lake.
