The matter of buying a property in Cannes cannot be done in a day or two, Wen Yi was worried that she was in a hurry at the moment, so she put this idea on the table for the time being.

The next day, Wen Xian's complexion improved, and it seemed that the medicine should have worked. Mrs. Yu, Wen Yi, and Wen Juan were also relieved, and Jiang immediately ordered to go down and let the family prepare to set sail. So the Gu family's boat stayed overnight in Cannes and sailed into the Dongjiang River again.

After leaving Cannes, there was water all the way, even if I met a few small towns, it was far less prosperous than Cannes, so I could only chat to supplement the fresh water on the boat, so the days on the boat became very boring, and even Wen Yi and Wen Xian, who had always been patient, had to sit in front of the chessboard all day long, and used their chess skills to pass the time. As for Wen Hui Wen'an and Wen Juan, they couldn't help it for a long time, and as soon as the boat stopped, they wanted to go ashore to visit, even if they knew that it was just a small fishing village. In the end, Wen An couldn't hold back, found an excuse, and moved to a boat behind, where there were a few familiar little guys he could accompany and have fun, which was better than staying on the big boat and being surrounded by a group of old girls.

Wen An left, the big boat became more and more boring, Jiang, Wen Hui and others stayed with the old lady all day to talk and laugh, and they couldn't hold it anymore, or the old lady Yu was impatient, only said that she had a headache, and she went back to the cabin, Jiang had to accompany her, Wen Hui got out and walked around on the boat, touching here, touching there, and even trying to take the helm with her own hands.

Wen Hui had nothing to do, so she came to find Wen Xian and Wen Yi. Although she complained that Wen Xian's sister ignored her when she was sent to the nunnery for cultivation, she was bored on the boat for a long time, and she couldn't care about it a lot, thinking that the other party's attitude was quite kind these days, so she wanted to pull someone to talk, but there were a few thorns in the words.

Wen Xian only didn't know, and persuaded her: "Sixth sister, now that you have to hurry, it is much more comfortable than taking a carriage, you should bear with it for a while, when you return to Beijing, how much can't you play?" It's not fun to wander around at this time, if you accidentally fall into the water! Wouldn't you just sit quietly in the cabin, look at the scenery, and talk to your sisters? ”

Wen Hui listened to her preaching, and became impatient: "These words again!" My sister talks about it all day long, you don't bother, I'm annoyed! He glanced at the chessboard again and pouted disdainfully: "Two stinky chess baskets, even if they play for ten years, they will not grow!" ”

Wen Juan sat next to her, and raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "The fifth sister and the ninth sister are stinky chess baskets, is it possible that the sixth sister's chess skills are very good?!" When Cousin Liu came last time, who was the one who asked everyone to give way to the bureau?! I am not willing to ask others to give way, saying that they are the first to go to each other, but they are not allowed to win. The most stinky chess player in the world is the sixth sister! ”

Wen Hui was furious: "Nonsense! Even if my chess skills are in Beijing, there are few opponents in the boudoir, which one says that my chess stinks?! Liu Dongning is smart, who wants him to give up?! You don't want to put the blame on me! ”

Wen Juan was sarcastic, and was about to quarrel with her again, Wen Xian glanced at Wen Yi helplessly, and hurriedly grabbed her sister: "Don't quarrel, I've been sitting here for two hours, and my head hurts a little bit by the wind, and I seem to be dizzy again, Tenth Sister will accompany me back to the room to rest, right?" ”

Wen Juan wanted to stay and fight with Wen Hui to win or lose, but she was worried that her sister was really uncomfortable, so she glared at Wen Hui several times before she left with the latter. As soon as she left, the fight naturally couldn't be argued, Wen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and reluctantly smiled at Wen Hui: "Sixth sister, it's okay to talk left and right, let's talk and relieve boredom." Didn't you say yesterday that what makeup materials are fashionable in Beijing this year? "It's always foolproof to think that you can do what you like, let Wen Hui talk about the topics she is interested in for a long time, and when she is thirsty and tired, she will go back to her room to rest, and she can respond casually to a few times, which can also save some effort.

Wen Hui snorted coldly: "That's the pattern in spring, it's already winter this time, I'm afraid I've changed it two or three times earlier, if I still wear clothes made of makeup and flowers at this time, people will laugh when they see it!" Saying that, he sat down on Wen Xian's original seat and glanced at the chessboard, "That's it, while there is nothing to do, I'll give you a few hands!" ”

Wen Yi was surprised, but thinking about his attainments in talent and the reputation of the other party all along, he put down the impetuousness in his heart and asked the other party for advice very politely. Unexpectedly, after two games of chess, she benefited a lot. Wen Hui has always been famous in poetry and calligraphy, but it is not fake, it is really a good knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Taking chess as an example, Wen Hui not only knows the changes in chess shapes recorded in many books, but also casually brings allusions, talking about who played against whom, when, where, and when, who used this move, what kind of result he obtained, what kind of good story he achieved, or which famous chess player in ancient times was extremely accomplished in a certain layout, and often cut his opponent under the horse. Wen Yi listened, but felt that it was easier to understand than Mr. Luo's class, but Wen Hui's attitude was arrogant, and the tone of her voice was not very good, which made people angry, otherwise he would be a good teacher.

Of course, Wen Hui is still young, and although her chess skills are much stronger than Wen Yi, she is not a master. Wen Yi can occasionally find a few loopholes in her layout, looking for opportunities to disrupt her layout. Wen Hui was originally from above to instruct her cousin's chess skills, and she didn't want to overturn the boat in the gutter, so she actually called a stinky chess basket and turned over the table, and she was immediately annoyed, and she didn't say allusions, and she didn't teach chess skills, so she played chess with one mind. It took more than half an hour of effort like this, and only then did he sweat profusely and beat Wen Yi to a pulp, Wen Hui only felt happy, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she picked up the chess pieces carelessly, and said: "I didn't expect you to learn so quickly, so I took some effort, but it's still far away, but you have to work hard, and next time you are free, I will point you out." ”

Wen Yi couldn't help but laugh and obediently responded.

After packing up the chess pieces, Wen Yi felt that she was a little tired after playing chess for half a day, and when she caught a glimpse of the sunset outside the window, it was almost dinner, so she smiled and said: "Let's stop today, if you are interested tomorrow, ask my sister for advice." ”

"That's it." Wen Hui stretched her waist, her face was also a little tired, "After sitting for a long time, the strange sour ......" suddenly became interested, "How about we go to the back boat to find Xiao Qi in the evening?" I heard that he went to see the boatmen every day, and I wanted to see the last one, but the people on this boat were all wooden people, and I was not allowed to come near under any circumstances, it was extremely boring! Let's go to Xiao Qi, with him by his side, those boatmen won't be able to shirk it! ”

The relationship between Wen Hui and Wen An seems to have improved a little, although it has not yet returned to its former intimacy, but at least Wen An is willing to listen to Wen Hui, and occasionally send some food and drink, so Wen Hui has the idea of this younger brother again.

Wen Yi frowned and said, "Sixth sister, why are you doing this?" Although those boatmen are the small shipwrights who come and go from the Gu family all year round, they are hired from outside, and they are young and strong men, we have nothing to do, what do you have to rely on the past to do?! If you are interested in sailing, when the ship docks, you can talk to your aunt and ask one or two boat wives to demonstrate it. ”

Wen Hui said happily: "How is this the same? Calling the boatwoman is just a show, and what I want to know is how the boatman sails! She stared at Wen Yi with some dissatisfaction, only thinking that she would think that this sister could make friends, she must be dazzled: "I'm not going to do anything bad, what are you stopping me from doing?!" Just the rules of you! ”

Wen Yi kept silent, just lowered her head and twisted the chess pieces, silently thinking about whether it was better to find an excuse to leave. Over there, Wen Hui had already shown a malicious smile, glanced left and right at the girls who were waiting on the side, and saw that Xiuzhu's face showed a slight dissatisfaction, while Taxue and Xunmei beside him were low-eyed and pleasing to the eye, and there was no difference at all, so she felt a little proud, raised her hand and waved, to send someone out: "It's almost time for dinner, you go and see, when will dinner be good?" Let's go and see how the old lady and the big lady are. ”

Taxue and Xunmei retreated, but Xiuzhu glanced at Wen Yi worriedly, and saw Wen Yi nodding before withdrawing. Seeing Wen Hui's face, Wen Yi suspected that she had something to say to herself, so she didn't say anything, silently picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

Wen Hui sneered a few times, leaned closer and whispered: "Don't pretend to be a bereavor in front of me, I know everything!" ”

Wen Yi's expression did not move: "What does my sister know?" ”

Wen Hui raised her eyebrows: "Then ** came to visit the patient and told me about the injury on Xiao Qi's face, I said that the medicine given by Liu Dongxing was good, so you instigated me to inquire about Liu Dongxing's recent situation, and said that Xiao Qi wrote a letter to ask for medicine...... I was thinking about my brother at that time, and I didn't think much about it until my mother talked about it...... It turns out that you are also selfish! ”

Wen Yi's face flushed, carefully stabilized the tea bowl, put it back on the table, and secretly took a few deep breaths, telling herself that she couldn't mess up at this time, otherwise she would be pinched by Wen Hui from now on.

Wen Hui saw her blushing and became even more proud: "Look, what did you say to me on the second gate that time?" What a serious girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet! This time it's leaking, right? I'm sorry to preach you to me in the future! ”

Wen Yi glanced at her lightly and smiled slightly: "If the sixth sister wants to laugh at me, then the younger sister also asks the elder sister, if such a thing happens to the younger sister, what will you do?" ”

Wen Hui was stunned: "What happened?" ”

Wen Yi stared at the window in front of her, and said faintly: "First I was half-forced by my aunt to say goodbye, but there was no follow-up, and a few months later, news came that my aunt was looking at other people's ......" She turned her gaze back to Wen Hui's face: "If it was my sister who encountered such a thing, would she be able to be at ease?!" ”

Wen Hui slapped her palm on the table, and her willow eyebrows were upside down: "Of course not!" Why?! After speaking, he was stunned, but he understood what Wen Yi meant, and pouted: "This is not the same thing......

Wen Yi said: "Although it is not the same thing, it also explains my sister's difficulties. Sister, please think about it, there is nothing wrong with my sister asking herself, she has always been in order, and her family affairs are also subject to the arrangements of her elders. But...... I was bullied so much by my aunt of the same clan, how could I not ask?! She lowered her eyes, "The family matter was proposed by the Liu family, and as soon as they left, they didn't hear from them for months, and it was a lifelong matter, can I not worry?" Besides, if the Liu family goes back on its word, the reputation of the Gu family will also be damaged, and people who don't know about it will not know how to arrange it! It doesn't matter if I'm alone, I'm afraid that my grandmother will be sad when she hears it, and it will also affect my parents' name! ”

Wen Hui opened her mouth, thinking of what happened to her, but it was hard to say anything more.

Wen Yi continued: "The Gu and Liu families were originally close relatives, and the eldest aunt came back from the capital, so she must know something about the Liu family. I wanted to find out a thing or two, but I was afraid that I would alarm my grandmother and make her old people worried. But without my grandmother coming forward, who else in our family can call the shots for me? I had to be cheeky and turn around to inquire. Of course, I know that this is not in accordance with the rules, but it is a lifelong matter, and it has a lot to do with my Gu family's reputation, and I have no choice but to make this decision. She raised her head and smiled bitterly at Wen Hui, "I was sluggish when I was young, so naturally I can't compare to my sister, and I have my parents and brothers planning for you." My grandmother is old, I can't share her worries, it's already unfilial, how can I make her old man sad and sad for something that has not yet been decided? ”

Wen Hui stumbled, racking her brains, before she said: "I'm just joking, but you refuted such a big call, and your eyes were red, so that people could see it, as if I was bullying you......"

Wen Yi realized that the corners of her eyes were wet, so she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it off, and said with a smile: "I also feel it." After a pause, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't have said this to her." It is precisely because the sixth sister is straightforward and anxious for justice and righteousness that I have the courage to complain about two bitter sentences. Sister just don't hear it and forget about it. She sighed faintly: "The third aunt has a noble status, and the Liu family is also a prestigious family, they have never been the only ones who pick people, how can anyone dare to be serious with them?" Naturally, their family thinks which one is good, so they get close to it, and another day they feel that person is not good, so they don't need to say hello, so they look for someone else. How dare we, the girls of small families, complain? ”

"I'm not a girl from a small family!" Wen Hui screamed wildly in her heart. She knew that the third aunt took a fancy to herself and wanted to match herself to Liu Dongning, before she met Zhu Jingcheng, she also thought so, although she changed her mind later, but Liu Dongning's infatuation with her, she has always seen it. Now although she has been punished to go to the nunnery for half a year, there is nothing wrong with her asking herself, but she is reckless and unlucky, she will be more cautious in the future, but in the matter of marriage, only she dislikes Liu Dongning, and there is no reason for Liu Dongning to dislike her! It's okay for others to slander her, even Liu Dongning, who knows the truth, dares to dislike her, dreaming!

Wen Hui was so angry that she slapped the table again: "Don't give up on yourself!" You are the daughter of our Gu family, how can you be bullied?! Don't worry, I'll definitely help you out of this breath! ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "My sister is talking nonsense again, his family knows about the robbery, why did you annoy the third aunt, if she talks nonsense outside regardless of it, how are you going to stay in the capital?!" ”

"Afraid of what?!" Wen Hui tilted her neck, "I have a clear conscience, and I'm afraid that she won't make it?!" ”

Wen Yi persuaded her: "You are not afraid of her, but you must prevent her from talking nonsense and ruining your reputation, and it will be difficult for you to do anything good in the future." My sister has always been a smart person, why don't you understand this truth?! Endure the anger of the moment, in order to make the future matter. ”

Wen Hui listened, calmed down a little, remembered Zhu Jingcheng, and nodded secretly. When she is done, it's not too late to breathe this out. She glanced at Wen Yi, with a little approval in her eyes: "Ninth sister, don't worry, I won't forget you, and when the matter is done, I will definitely make decisions for you!" ”

Wen Yi was amused in her heart, but she was afraid that she would make trouble again, so she responded indiscriminately.

After a while, the sky darkened, and the boat gradually slowed down, and when the boatman saw that there was a small town not far away, he informed the housekeeper of the Gu family, and reported that he was going to dock at the wharf of that town. Jiang answered, and the boat slowly sailed over, but he heard chaos on the shore, and a large group of people gathered on the dock in a noisy, as if looking for someone.
