Chapter 6 Swimming in the Lake
"That's what she said?"
Wen Beixu sat in the courtyard and listened to Lin Yuan's reply, and Shen Shifeng on the side was about to roll on the chaise longue with a smile.
"The subordinates really heard it, that's what the second lady said." Lin Yuan didn't expect that after this woman learned that it was the prince who helped her, her first reaction was to hide away.
Wen Beixu clenched the teacup, and his phoenix eyes swept away: "Enough laughter?" ”
"Hahaha, enough laughter is enough, but this Shui Er Miss is really smart and knows that you have bad intentions. Why don't you do it, give it to me. When the time comes, I'll help you win over Shui Qianhan, and it's the same. ”
Shen Shifeng suddenly became interested in Shui Qianqiu, he was really curious about what else this woman could say.
"You have a way to handle a woman I can't handle? I am bound to win this move, and you don't look at your own reputation as a swinger, it is strange that Shui Qianhan is willing to nod. ”
Wen Beixu glanced at him lightly, Shen Shifeng sat up straight and smiled: "This Second Miss Shui doesn't seem to be an easy person to be coaxed by you, compared to your cold appearance, your eldest brother's gentle and elegant appearance seems to be more effective." ”
"Don't pay attention to him, there are more than a dozen women in his backyard, I don't believe that Shui Qianqiu still dares to jump into that fire pit."
Wen Beixu chuckled with a touch of deep meaning, and said lightly to Lin Yuan: "Tomorrow, please invite the young ladies of all provinces to visit the lake." ”
"Yes."
Shui Qianqiu slept until the next morning, his brain was extraordinarily awake, and he was even more refreshed when he ran in the morning.
"Miss, Mrs. sent someone here yesterday, saying that the prince invited you to visit the lake today, so you can go with the eldest lady."
Qiu Ye handed her a towel, Shui Qianqiu took it and wiped her face, and said, "Aren't the third sister and the fourth sister going?" ”
"The third lady doesn't like places with a lot of people, and the fourth girl is still a concubine because she is timid, and she won't go."
"Then return to Madame, I'm not feeling well, so I won't go." Shui Qianqiu didn't forget that the prince had nothing to do yesterday, and today he came to invite him to swim in the lake, so it's strange that he didn't have any calculations.
"Why is the second sister unhappy? I'm looking good at it. Shui Qianzi walked over with a mighty person, and Shui Qianqiu sighed - why did she come?
"I really don't dare to hide it from my big sister, I fell into the pond once, and I was afraid of the water in my heart, let alone swimming in the lake." Shui Qianqiu looked really scared, and what Shui Qianzi thought was that last time she made a fool of herself in front of so many people, this time it was also a good opportunity.
"Second sister, don't be afraid, this time the big sister will accompany you and ensure that you will not have an accident. Hurry up and get dressed, the carriage is waiting outside. ”
Shui Qianqiu opened her mouth and wanted to shirk it, but Shui Qianzi didn't listen, and sat aside and waited for her.
She had no choice but to let Autumn Leaves and Green Branches groom her makeup. Her old clothes had been taken away and burned, and she could only wear the new dress that had just been delivered. She saw that Shui Qianzi was dressed in plain color, and she chose a red dress in a hurry.
She has read novels, and most of the people who wear this kind of bright color are flamboyant people, and such people will not make people shine, after all, when there are many women, warblers and swallows compete for beauty, and only plain and elegant are eye-catching.
As soon as Shui Qianzi waited for her to put on her makeup, she pulled her out, and Shui Qianqiu sat in the carriage and listened to her chatter about the gossip in Yuzhou Mansion.
"Second sister, it's here." Shui Qianzi got out of the carriage first as if in a hurry, and there were already many people standing in the pavilion on the shore at this time.
Shui Qianqiu yawned and came down, and sure enough, the women on the shore were showing off one by one, and she was also one of the flowers, so she shouldn't have attracted too much attention.
Shui Qianzi got out of the carriage and plunged into the crowd, Shui Qianqiu didn't like to join in the fun, and he didn't think he had anything in common with them, so he walked alone to the shore under the weeping willows and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the lake.
"Miss, you should go over and talk to those young ladies too." Green Zhi couldn't help but persuade on the side, why didn't his own young lady fight for anything, it was useless.
Shui Qianqiu pulled the weeping willow and said, "What do you have to say?" The left is just a short rouge gouache in the parents, and it's useless for me to get over if I don't understand. ”
"Then the young lady is here by herself, and look at it...... Poor thing. ”
Mizuchiaki also knew that she was like an isolated student at school, but she did it voluntarily. Not everyone has to be in the company of others, and it is good to be quiet and comfortable.
"Excuse me, is it the second lady of the Shui family?" Shui Qianqiu turned around, and saw a man in a green shirt slightly luggage at her, she picked up a fan to cover half of her face, and returned the salute: "Yes, may I ask who the son is?" ”
"In Xia Wenmao, why is the second girl alone since then, why can't she go over to chat with the other girls?" Wen Mao had a shallow smile on his face, which made people feel good at first sight. The words were even more polite, but Shui Qianqiu took two steps back slightly.
"I don't talk much, and when I go, I'm just listening, but it's not interesting."
Shui Qianqiu saluted again, and without waiting for Wen Mao to speak again, he spoke again: "Men and women don't kiss, Wen Gongzi please." ”
After finishing speaking, she went around the other side of the weeping willow to avoid Wen Mao, others may think that Wen Mao is gentle and polite, but she doesn't think so.
"Who is this Wen Mao?" It's no wonder that she doesn't know, the original body never goes out of the house, and she is even more deaf to the outside personnel, and she will be a fool if she holds the female commandment all day long.
"He is the eldest son of the Qing Palace." Qiu Ye answered, and Shui Qianqiu raised her eyebrows - I'm afraid that the Wang family should also know about this matter today, it's troublesome.
She was stunned, and a group of young ladies and young masters walked near her, and Shui Qianzi took her one step ahead of her, and said, "The boat has arrived, the second sister won't dare to get on, right?" ”
"Yes, I'm timid, big sister, don't embarrass me." Shui Qianqiu really didn't want to get on that boat, instead of going up to listen to their chatter, it was better to watch the scenery on the shore alone.
Shui Qianzi still wanted to say something, but I didn't know who shouted that the prince was coming, and a group of people leaned over together, and even Shui Qianzi let go of her and moved closer to the son.
As if relieved, Shui Qianqiu walked to the pavilion. Wen Beixu was tall, and when she looked past the crowd, she saw her heading towards the pavilion.
I also saw my eldest brother walking over with a light of snacks.
"Second girl, look at you went out so early, you shouldn't have eaten breakfast, right? I've got some pastry, so don't be hungry. Wen Mao put the snack in front of her.
"Thank you, Grand Master Wen." Shui Qianqiu struggled for a while but still reached out to take a piece to eat, she did not eat in the morning and was pulled out by Shui Qianzi, the dim sum was really delicious, Wen Mao saw the joy of his eating and pushed the pastry in front of her.
Shui Qianqiu smiled lightly, but this smile made Wen Bei unhappy. After sending the crowd in front of him, he walked to the pavilion with his feet raised.
"Big brother, in the past, you liked to be lively the most, why did you turn your sex and hide here now?" Wen Beixu's expression was still faint, and Wen Mao said softly: "Look at the second girl, I am afraid that she will not fit in." ”
"Everyone is on the boat, how can the eldest brother be a maverick? Isn't this asking for trouble for the second girl? Wen Beixu reminded him euphemistically, Shui Qianqiu reacted, got up and saluted, and hurried to the boat.
Everyone got on the boat, and if she didn't get on the boat, she would become a different person from others, and she would be more likely to cause trouble. In addition, I have just been alone with Wen Mao twice, and it is inevitable that some people will use this to do some talk, and I was careless just now, and I forgot about this.
Wen Bei saw that she understood what she meant, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
"It's rare for the second brother to be so interested in women, but I'm afraid that King Xiang has no dreams of being a goddess." Wen Mao was mixed up, and his face was still inconspicuous, Wen Beixu squinted his eyes, didn't argue with him much, and turned around and followed the boat.
"Second sister, what did the prince tell you just now? You're willing to get on board. Shui Qianzi deliberately said loudly, causing many women to look at her unkindly.
Shui Qianqiu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "The prince didn't talk to me, the eldest prince Wen just happened to rest in the pavilion, and the conversation between them was just that." ”
"I see, I thought the prince had a soft spot for his sister." Shui Qianzi covered her handkerchief and smiled, but Shui Qianqiu lowered her eyes and did not explain more.
"Got a soft spot? Could it be that last time, the second lady fell into the water for no reason and fell into the heart of the prince? ”
Last time in Shuifu, Wen Beixu suddenly proposed to go to the courtyard to hang out, but walked left and right and walked directly to Shui Qianqiu's residence. Everyone present felt suspicious in their hearts, and just now Shizi didn't know what to say beside her, can this not make people think cranky?
Wen Beixu observed silently, felt that now was a good time, and walked over with raised eyebrows.
"It's really ......"
"I was really wronged, just now the prince did talk to me, but what he said was that I should stop fighting the idea of purging the palace, and stay away from him and the eldest prince, I heard it uncomfortable in my heart, so I left. If it's really as you think, it's okay, then what's so hard to say? ”
Shui Qianqiu knew that Wen Beixu wanted to speak, but no matter what he wanted to say, she couldn't let him open his mouth. Once he speaks, the situation with himself is even more unfavorable.
Many girls next to her covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this, and Shui Qianqiu didn't care about it, so she simply stayed away while they were no longer embarrassed, so as not to cause trouble again.
Wen Beixu stared at her with heavy eyes, and when others saw this gaze, they would only think that what Shui Qianqiu said was true, and the prince hated her, and he didn't think of anything else.
And at this moment, his heart seemed to be on fire, and he was uncomfortable. In order to gag her mouth, she didn't even want her reputation? Why don't you want to think about her father who can spare her when she goes back after she says this? I thought he was smart, but he turned out to be a stupid person.
Shui Qianqiu leaned on the railing of the boat in the corner, and the green branches and autumn leaves stood in the distance, watching the slaves and maids of other people's young ladies eating and drinking and talking to nobles, they didn't feel good in their hearts.
"Miss, why didn't you tell the truth just now?" Green Zhi didn't understand very much, Shui Qianqiu smiled bitterly and didn't speak.
Wen Beixu stared at her wry smile thoughtfully, as if this trip to the lake seemed to have harmed her.
