(Thanks to Chubby 25 for a bug, the eldest princess was changed to the eldest princess.) In the Ming system, the imperial aunt is called the eldest princess, the imperial sister is called the eldest princess, and the imperial daughter is called the princess. I didn't check my information, sorry. ）

The two looked at the cuckoo, went into the bamboo garden, and finally reached the pond in the garden.

The north is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, and there is water everywhere. Linjiang Xuanping Houfu can have a pond as wide as a small lake, and the garden is full of streams. But this eldest princess's mansion is extremely luxurious, but there are not many water features, and a pond with a radius of five or six acres has opened in the middle garden, which is already a very good scenery.

"Let's go, there's a boat over there, let's go up and tell the boat lady to prop the boat up to the middle of the pond." Cen Ziman pulled Xia Jin towards the pond with great interest.

"Wait." Xia Jin grabbed Cen Ziman.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Jin nodded in the direction in front of him with his chin: "I seem to have seen that Jianing County Lord." ”

"Huh?" Cen Ziman turned his head to look, "Where is it?" ”

"The pond in front of the elm tree in the front left."

Cen Ziman looked away, and finally saw An Yishan's conspicuous rose and purple peony pattern dress.

"Hey, what is she doing there?" Cen Ziman saw An Yishan standing there alone, not only Xu Jing and the others who were with her were gone, but also the maid and wife who followed her, and couldn't help but say nervously, "She won't have anything to think about, she wants to dive, right?" ”

After falling into the water in the Linjiang River and almost drowning, Cen Ziman had an inexplicable fear of a place like a pond, and he felt panicked when he stood closer. So when she saw An Yishan standing at the water's edge and falling into the water after taking a step forward, she couldn't help but get nervous.

She turned her head to the maid Xue'er and said, "You go, bring the county lord of Jianing back safely." ”

Cher was about to pass. Xia Jin grabbed her: "Wait." ”

Cen Ziman glanced at her in surprise, then frowned slightly, and suddenly felt unhappy in his heart.

She also thought that Xia Jin was because the county lord of Jianing was rude to her just now. So I don't want to help her.

"I see your cousin coming." Xia Jin pointed in the other direction.

Cen Ziman turned his head and looked, sure enough. Two people slowly walked from the path at the other end, Su Muxian was in front, followed by a small guy.

Su Muxian paced slowly, his expression was relaxed and peaceful, and he looked at the surrounding scenery as he walked, as if he had come here to enjoy the scenery.

"Cousin?" Cen Ziman looked at Su Muxian, and then at the county lord of Jianing, and bit his lower lip with his upper teeth.

"Girl." Cher called. Please ask yourself if you want to go over.

Cen Ziman hurriedly waved his hand: "No need to go." Frowning, his eyes fixed on that side.

Xia Jin's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the bushes behind the elm tree moving from time to time, and then looked at Su Muxian's casual expression, he knew that the two were not dating, but An Yishan unilaterally wanted to do something.

She looked at the pond that was only one step away from An Yishan, and said to Cen Ziman: "If you don't want to have a cousin like the county lord of Jianing, you can shout at your cousin." ”

"Huh?" Cen Ziman didn't react for a while.

When she turned her head to understand what Xia Jin meant, she was about to shout over there. only heard the sound of "plop", An Yishan had already jumped into the pond.

"Ahh A little maid ran from behind the tree and looked at the pond. Crying, "County Lord, County Lord......"

Then she turned her head and saw Su Muxian, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she ran over and grabbed his clothes and cried: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, please save our county lord." The county lord fell into the water. ”

And over there, the county lord of Jianing was already dancing in the water, fluttering vigorously.

Su Muxian probably saw the county lord of Jianing just now. He turned around sharply and was about to leave. But I haven't had time to leave yet. I heard the shouting over there, and then the little maid grabbed her clothes.

He turned his head. glanced at the pond and said to the little guy: "Ah Yan, you can swim, right?" Hurry into the water and rescue the county lord. ”

"Huh?" Ah Yan and the maid of the county lord's family were stunned.

The lord of Jianing County set up this plan to lure Su Muxian into the water to save people. Young men and women are thinly dressed in the water, and their skin is blind date, one is unmarried, the other is unmarried, and there is no reason not to marry. In this way, she will be able to marry Su Muxian.

But he didn't want to, Su Muxian actually asked his little guy to go into the water to save people!

The manservant touched the body of the young lady, which was a great insult to the woman. Any master, as long as he has the means, will not give such an order to the manservant.

The little maid was angry: "Master Hou, my county lord is Jin Zun and Yugui, how can you let the manservant touch her?" What is your purpose in asking the little guy to save people? Do you want to insult my county lord? ”

"Hey, sister-in-law and uncle help, you should be in power. Ah Yan can't help if he doesn't go into the water, and I can't swim. Su Mu said casually.

"You're lying!" The little maid watched the master fluttering in the water for a long time, Su Muxian was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai here, still speaking unhurriedly, and her voice changed sharply, "When you came back last year, you also went into the water to save the little county king!" ”

"Alas, after that time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go into the water again." Su Muxian looked embarrassed.

The little maid stomped her feet, so anxious that tears came down.

"Master Hou, do you want the villain to go down to save people?" Ah Yan asked.

Su Muxian pointed at the little maid: "Listen to her, she said to save you, she said to save you, she said that if she didn't save it, she wouldn't save it." ”

"Wait!" The little maid shouted, "If you don't save you when you die, aren't you afraid that the prince will trouble you?" ”

Su Muxian's face turned cold: "You are her maid, you won't save your master if he is in danger, and you still have the energy to quarrel with me here, his crime deserves to die!" ”

When Su Muxian said this, his expression was extremely sharp, and the little maid was suddenly so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak for a long time.

At this time, although it is April or May, the water in the pond is still very cold. Even though the water was not deep, An Yishan had been splashing in the cold water for a long time, frightened, frightened and cold, and finally couldn't stand it and slowly sank. And Su Muxian looked at the calm lake with cold eyes, his face was condensed, and he just kept silent.

"This, this, this ......" Cen Ziman on this side saw this situation, stammered and didn't know what to say, and raised his feet and wanted to run over there.

She was going to save people.

Xia Jin grabbed her shirt.

"Hey, what are you doing? If you don't save her, you'll die. Cen Ziman was anxious and angry, and stretched out his foot to kick Xia Jin away.

Xia Jin avoided his body and said calmly: "She can't die." There was a man hiding behind the bushes. ”

Cen Ziman was stunned for a moment and looked over there.

"She's just trying to plot your cousin so she can marry him. Not really wanting to die. Xia Jin said again, "Now it only depends on who lasts to the end." If you pass, you will add to the chaos, and maybe the cruel county lord will end up spilling his anger on you. ”

Cen Ziman thought about An Yishan's temper, pursed his lips, and stood there no longer moving.

And the little maid over there saw that her county lord was struggling a few times at first, but now she has sunk down and hasn't surfaced for a long time, and Su Muxian, who is on the side, is still indifferent. She finally couldn't help it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Mama Wu, Mama Zhang, hurry, save the county lord." ”

Two people rushed out of the bushes next to them, rushing towards the pond, and before they had time to take off their clothes, they jumped into the water with a "plop" and swam in the direction where An Yishan sank. After a while, An Yishan's was lifted out of the water.

Although An Yishan drank a few sips of water, she was still conscious. She gulped in the fresh air, like a fish lying on land out of water.

The two mothers-in-law dragged her to the shore, and the little maid hurriedly reached out to help her, and kept patting her back to control the water.

In her busy schedule, she didn't forget to look back, wanting Su Muxian to come forward and care a few words, so as not to let her county lord suffer this crime in vain.

However, at this glance, she was stunned.

At this time, except for them, there was silence all around, where was the figure of Su Muxian's master and servant?

She looked back at An Yishan, who was coughing repeatedly, tears couldn't help but flow down, and she choked up: "The county lord ......"

In this compartment, Cen Ziman watched blankly as An Yishan was dragged up like a dead dog, while Su Mu turned around and left without even seeing if An Yishan was okay. She was speechless for a long time with her mouth open. It took a long time to mutter, "He, he actually ......" but I didn't know how to say the following words.

Xia Jin also sighed in his heart: the clean and clear young man who rushed to the rescue when he saw the little beggar being beaten and didn't know if there was any danger, has now become shrewd and cold, like a piece of white paper, finally blackened by the dark side of this world.

And she was the first to put ink dots on that piece of paper. So seeing Su Muxian like this, she didn't know whether she should feel relieved or guilty.

However, the dark side of this world is so great that the ghosts are everywhere. A bloody tiger tearing apart its prey will live longer than a kind little white rabbit, right? Su Muxian can not be indiscriminately kind, and coldly watch the conspiracy and tricks of the other party be shattered in the sun, so that he will live more easily and go further than before.

She should still feel good for him.

saw that the subordinate over there took a thick cloak and put it on An Yishan; He took out a bowl of ginger soup from the food box and gave her to drink. After doing this methodically, I helped her away. Cen Ziman stood there for a long time, then turned around and said to Xia Jin, "Let's go." ”

Xia Jin glanced at her, didn't speak, and just walked forward behind her. After a while, she followed Cen Ziman back to the peony garden.

For the next half hour, Cen Ziman didn't go anywhere, just sat beside Xiao Shi and silently ate snacks and drank tea. Xiao Shi felt that his daughter's mood seemed to be wrong, and chatted with those noble ladies for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.

When they came, they took three carriages, one for Xiao, one for Cen Ziman and Xia Jin, and one for the maid and wife.

Out of the eldest princess's mansion, standing in front of the carriage, Xiao beckoned to Cen Ziman: "Sister Man, come, my mother has something to tell you." He smiled apologetically at Xia Jin, "It's a little matter from a relative's family, I'll tell her." Miss Xia, are you okay in the car alone? (To be continued)
