Once I went out, I came back at night.

When Xi Yan returned to the Begonia Courtyard, a delicate letter was lying quietly on his desk. He picked up the letter and found that it was actually an invitation from Jing Yuan.

"When did this eldest son of the Jing family have such leisure and thought of holding a private banquet on the painting boat?"

"So are you going or not?" Xi Yun came over with interest, "He is older than you, Gongzi Qi, and Gongzi Situ, and he didn't know each other very well before. I'm afraid it's too strange? ”

"Since the invitations have been sent to the house, if you don't go, won't it be too much to save his face?"

Xi Yan smiled clearly, "Jing Yuan will not return to the northwest after the first year, and it is only natural to have a banquet." Since he stayed, he naturally had to have a good relationship with our old acquaintances. ”

"Then I'm going to find you tomorrow's clothes?"

"I don't want you to look for it." Xi Yan did not hesitate, and dismissed Xi Yun's words in one mouthful, "Your vision is too poor, you don't know what clothes look good with what jade." You go and ask Wan Xing to find my snow-blue robe embroidered with moon white dark lines, and then take the piece of mutton fat jade bat pendant. ”

"Which piece of mutton fat jade? Are you so particular? ”

Xi Yan looked at Xi Yun with disdain, "Do you think everyone is like you?" A set of clothes all year round. ”

Xi Yun suddenly felt as if he had been greatly wronged, and hurriedly pleaded: "Where did I get the first dress of the year?" As a guard, I just wear most of my clothes in black. ”

"That's right." Xi Yan agreed with this, "You are a martial artist, and there is nothing wrong with wearing black." ”

"I... I can't say anything about you. ”

"Hahahahaha ”

……

In the afternoon of the next day, when Xi Yan went to the shore of Xixin Lake on the outskirts of the city, he found that Qi An was already waiting here.

Qi An looked Xi Yan up and down for a while, and then joked: "It's too late? ”

"You're not just there." Xi Yan didn't want to pay attention to Qi An, so he raised his eyes to look at the lake, "What about them?" ”

"Whoa." Qi An picked his handsome chin and stared at the lake, "The biggest painting boat is Jing Yuan's, Jing Yuan and Jing Xian arrived early in the morning, and Situ Yizheng also arrived half an hour ago." His big ship would run aground on the shore, and a small boat would come and pick us up soon. ”

Sure enough, only a moment later, a delicate and dexterous boat came to rest on the dockside.

Qi An strode onto the boat, and drove the boatman in charge of rowing down in three or two clicks.

Xi Yan looked at the empty bow helplessly, and then walked up. "If you drive them off the boat like this, who will row the boat?"

Qi An shrugged indifferently, "Isn't this still you?" ”

"Me?" Xi Yan reluctantly took the oars in his hand, "Okay." Serve your great beauty, and be happy to do so. The boat swayed slightly, and then swung smoothly towards the middle of the lake.

"Shut up! You, you..."Being shouted by Xi Yan like this, Qi An suddenly became angry and turned red, and pointed at him through gritted teeth, "What nonsense are you putting in!" ”

Xi Yan looked back at him indifferently, "You don't look good?" ”

"Hmph..."Qi An was a little disdainful, but his expression was a little proud, "In this Chongdu City, there is still a nickname of Pan An in the world." ”

"Then what's wrong with me calling you a beauty, and why do you want to refute it?"

Qi An was even more angry when he heard this, "My dignified man, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Alright." Xi Yan looked around and saw that the water in the Ping Lake was shining, and occasionally a few egrets passed by, and he was in a good mood. "You are so domineering to blow away all the boatmen, say whatever you want."

When Qi An heard this, he walked to the stern of the boat unhurriedly, "Do you remember the last time you were on Shifang Street?" ”

"Which time?" Xi Yan seemed to turn a deaf ear, "I went to Shifang Street to find you too many times, I can't remember it." ”

"It's the last time you poured tea into the incense burner."

Incense burner? When Qi An mentioned this, Xi Yan suddenly remembered that last time in the Qinglou on Shifang Street, he and Qi An had some unpleasant trouble. Before leaving, he did pour a cup of tea into the incense burner.

"Yes." Only then did Xi Yan raise his eyes and look at him, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi An pretended to glance at Xi Yan mysteriously before saying, "That incense... There is a problem. ”

"I know." Hearing this, Xi Yan didn't take it to heart, and now he feels very indifferent.

Xi Yan's light breeze made Qi An feel very unhappy, so he frowned and asked, "When did you know?" ”

Xi Yan seemed to smile modestly, "I knew it at the time." The room where we talked that day was very spacious, but I somehow felt distracted. And the incense in the censer... It was the only suspicious thing, so I just poured a cup of tea into it. ”

When Qi An heard this, his eyes couldn't help revealing some disappointment and chagrin, "I'm really negligent." But then he looked at Xi Yan playfully, "Then do you want to know who did it?" ”

Xi Yan chuckled very disdainfully, "The place where you were that day was the Qinglou, who else could do it?" On the left, it's just those Qinglou women who added some amorous five stone powder to the incense burner. When you Qi Dagongzi patronizes, they naturally have to work harder. If any girl is lucky enough to enter the door of your Qi family, it will be a glorious lintel. ”

"Hmph..."Qi An was a little contemptuous, and squinted his eyes and said, "They want to." It's not that I said, Shifang Street is only better with singing and dancing, as for those dusty women... After a few years, people will become old, and I am afraid that they will only shave their heads and send them home to become nuns. I think that I can fly up to the branches with a few powerful people, and who do we think we are? ”

Xi Yan couldn't agree with this: "It's a little mean, but the truth is good." ”

With a slight "bang", the boat had already sailed to the front of the boat. This boat is not like an ordinary boat, and the hull is very high. The carved beams and painted buildings are carved on it, and the cornices are warped. When the wind blows on the lake, the light yarn hanging from the boat is gently lifted towards the outside of the boat.

Seeing Xi Yan and Qi An coming, a door immediately opened on the side of the ship, and the two old servants respectfully invited the two up. went up the stairs to the second floor, and when I raised my eyes, I saw Situ Yizheng.

"Oops, you two are really late." Situ Yizheng held the wine cup in his hand and looked at Qi An with a smile, "I just saw a small boat coming in the lake, and I saw a white-clothed beauty standing on the bow of the boat, and when I got closer, it turned out to be the eldest prince of Qi!" ”

"Hahahaha..."

As soon as Situ Yizheng's words fell, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the painting boat, and Xi Yan couldn't stand up with laughter, only Qi An trembled with anger.

In all fairness, Qi An is not thin, and he is eight feet tall. But his facial features are indeed more delicate than those of ordinary men, with beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes, and it is not too much to say that he has red lips and bright teeth. In addition, he has a good reputation as Pan An in the world, and he is teased by these bad friends from time to time.

"You bastards!"

"Yo yo yo, Qi Da Mei is angry..."Seeing this, Situ Yizheng laughed even more.

Xi Yan also followed the mending knife without mercy, "In less than half an hour, he was called a beauty twice, do you think he can not be angry?" ”

There was another burst of laughter, and Qi An had no intention of arguing with them, so he sat down by himself. Seeing that the protagonist is like this, the others also shut up in amusement.

At this time, Xi Yan had the time to look at the entire painting boat. Looking at this very unusual painting boat, Xi Yan thought to himself, Jing Yuan is indeed an interesting person, and there are a circle of white begonias on the fence around the painting boat, which looks very elegant. I looked at the bow of the ship in a blink of an eye, and I didn't think that there were many strange flowers on the bow, but the two crisscrossed columns looked very abrupt and strange.
