Tianwang Lake is located at the foot of Shengfeng Mountain, and Xu Changting would pass by Tianwang Lake every time he went back and forth to Yongning Temple.

In the days when Yongning Temple recites scriptures and reverses Buddha, occasionally go down the mountain to visit Tianwang Lake.

Therefore, Xu Changting is very familiar with Tianwang Lake or the Tianwang Temple by the lake.

This time, the sisters of the Xu family also came to Tianwang Lake to play, and naturally Xu Changting was indispensable as a guide, no, in Xu Wenwen's words, it should be a flower messenger.

After all, two days ago, he bragged at home about how brave he was in Xining, and then the hero saved Li Qingyi, and finally made the family fall in love at first sight.

It is precisely because of the heroic rescue of the beauty Li Qingyi in Xining that Xu Changting became particularly enthusiastic about the hero's rescue of the United States, so that he also helped the Liu Shupi family and Song Yiren to relieve the siege in Banlong Village by mistake, but that time there was no chance to meet the beauty named Song Yiren.

Lake Tennohu covers an extremely wide area, and there are dozens of piers on the shore alone, and the most lively place is naturally the Tennomia Temple.

This day happened to be the most crowded day, and when it was still a short distance from Lake Tenno, it was already difficult for the carriage to continue moving, so it was necessary to park the carriage on the side of the road, and then the group walked in the direction of Lake Tenno.

In the past, there was only one building in Tiannoji Temple, but after people gradually began to regard this place as the best place to visit outside the city, some people began to build some pavilions and pavilions around the lake for tourists to enjoy the scenery or rest.

From time to time, there will be some small boats rowing to the shore, and then pick up three or five people to sail in the direction of the center of the lake, there are dozens of exquisite painting boats and pleasure boats floating on the lake, and the sound of silk and bamboo music will faintly ripple from the center of the lake, making people involuntarily full of curiosity, I want to take a look, what kind of scene is in the painting boat.

Accompanied by the three of their sisters and brothers, as well as Huo Nuer and Feng Zidu, after looking at the countless painting boats and pleasure boats floating on the lake, Xu Wenrou shouted a little excitedly, and pulled Xu Changting's arm again and again to get on the cruise ship.

The corners of Xu Changting's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Second sister, those painting boats are all those noble gates in Danfeng City, and we don't have invitations, so we can't go up." ”

"Then let's rent a small one, don't you see there?" Xu Wenrou's eyes were sharp, and he had already aimed at a pier not far from the Tianwang Temple, only to see that there were still a few small boats swaying on the water.

In desperation, Xu Changting had no choice but to take the eldest sister, the second sister, Huo Nuer, and Feng Zi to walk forward along the path by the lake.

So when the five of them walked to the dock where several small boats were parked, Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou had already bought a lot of snacks, and now they were all in the bamboo baskets in the hands of Huo Nuer and Feng Zidu.

And when Xu Changting ran over to negotiate with the big shipowner, after the boatman looked at the boat they picked, he smiled and slowly stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred wen?" Xu Changting thought to himself that it was quite cheap.

"Two pieces of money, or two taels of silver from the son." The boatman smiled and looked like an honest man.

Xu Changting and Feng Zidu, no matter how you look at it, they all look like idle gentlemen, Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou, no matter how you look at them, they look like the ladies of the scholarly family, plus a Huo Nuer who looks like a guard or a coachman, it is strange if the boatman does not kill them!

"So expensive?" Xu Changting was taken aback, when he was in Yongning Temple, he would occasionally take a boat to view the lake, but it was only a few pennies at most, how could it be so expensive?

"Childe, you're talking about weekdays, but these days are different, look behind you, many people are waiting to rent a boat, all at this price." The boatman pointed behind Xu Changting, and many people were also choosing a cruise ship, pointing and bargaining with other boatmen.

Xu Wenrou, the little sheep that was slaughtered, didn't know that Xu Changting was bargaining with the boatman, and said that Xu Changting met an acquaintance as early as Yongning Temple, so he stomped his feet and urged Xu Changting to hurry up, there are so many people waiting to rent a boat behind him, I am really afraid that the boat I finally picked will be selected by others first.

"What are you anxious about?" Xu Changting was a little painful, and when he went out, his mother gave him five taels of silver, which didn't matter much, and the smaller half was spent, but he didn't even see a splash.

The boatman was not in a hurry at all, especially Xu Wenrou's stomping and urging not far away, which made the boatman even more convinced that Xu Changting and Feng Zidu were not gentlemen.

Feng Zidu is not a real gentleman, and he invited Xu Changting to the Teaching Department that day, and the tea fee of three taels of silver per person has already spent several months of his pocket money.

Today's Feng Zidu, he walks with a clanging sound, and today he is playing under the bright banner of eating, drinking, and playing, so at this moment he is just standing next to Xu Changting with a bamboo basket and smirking.

In desperation, Xu Changting had no choice but to take out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse, weigh the next amount, and when the boatman shook his head and felt that the amount was a little worse, Xu Changting hurriedly stuffed the money into the boatman's hand, and then closed the hand for the boatman.

The boat family looked at Xu Changting's appearance as a chicken thief, how could he not know that it was worse when he received the silver, but he didn't bother with Xu Changting, but sighed and said, "Childe is really ...... Diligent and thrifty, the old man is blind today. ”

"Uncle, it's almost there, I have a friend who makes a market order, if you ......." Xu Changting carried Liang Xingwen out to bargain.

I don't know if the boatman really believed it or faked it, but no matter what, he didn't embarrass Xu Changting anymore, and after greeting the two boatmen, he asked Xu Changting and a few people to follow him to choose a good boat.

It's not a big boat, but the cabin is enough for the five of them to sit in it to enjoy the lake, drink tea, and chat, and the cabin is surrounded by rolled up bamboo curtains, which can be put down in a clean place on the lake if necessary, and it is difficult to observe the situation inside from the outside.

And if you really want to enjoy the lake and cultivate your temperament, then just like now, roll up the bamboo curtains, and the scenery on either side is actually enough to make people feel refreshed.

The boatman rowed one after the other, and in the center of the cabin was placed a table that was more than two inches in, enough to place teapots, fruits, and other objects on the table so that they would not be scattered on the ground with the shaking of the hull.

After Feng Zidu put down the bamboo basket in his hand, he naturally sat down on Xu Wenrou's side, and before he could bend over and settle down, he heard Xu Wenrou gently spit out a word: "Get out." ”

"Okay, then I'll sit with Brother Hornuer." Feng Zidu's expression was as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest embarrassment on his face.

Xu Wenrou and Xu Changhong sat on one side, as the hull began to shake slightly towards the middle of the lake, Xu Wenrou sighed with satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at Xu Changting who was sitting alone in the middle, and said: "When will Weiyang be able to let the second sister sit on that gorgeous big boat, it will not be in vain that the second sister and your eldest sister have loved you all these years." ”

"Come to think of you, I don't have that much money to spare." Xu Changting was still thinking about the gains and losses of the two taels of silver, and he always felt like he had been slaughtered by someone.

"How can you speak, can't you say something that your second sister likes to hear?" Xu gently reprimanded dissatisfied.

Xu Changhong put the fruits and tea in the bamboo basket on the table, while looking at the two sisters and brothers who were bickering, and then said: "Weiyang, you will promise your second sister, and when the big deal is that the eldest sister will give you money and let you invite your second sister to sit once." ”

"Am I not going yet?" Xu Wenrou looked proud, and then repeated: "Even if you invite me, I won't go." ”

"Love doesn't go, if you don't go, I'll go with my eldest sister." Xu Changting looked at the lake outside the boat, although the scenery is still as beautiful as usual, and there is not far away from the lush, deep forest and dangerous Shengfeng Mountain as the background, but because of the large painting boats and cruise ships on the lake, there is no longer the feeling of the real picturesque scenery splashing ink in front of you when there are few tourists.

While looking at the various boats on the lake, there was Huo Nuer's regret that she didn't come with a fishing rod, Feng Zidu's almost shameless kneeling and licking Xu Wenrou's voice, and Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou's guessing of what kind of people were on those painting boats and pleasure boats.

Not far from the lake, a slightly larger boat slowly chased after them, and then began to sail in the other direction.

In the cabin, the maid named Wan'er looked at Xu Changting suspiciously, and after looking at it several times, she didn't dare to confirm whether the young man in Tsing Yi on the boat not far away was Xu Gongzi, the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Pei Murong looked at Wan'er, who was a little absent-minded, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Wan'er shook her head lightly, and then couldn't help but say, "Miss, look at the boat over there, is it Xu Gongzi on it?" ”

"Young Master Xu? Which Xu Gongzi? Pei Murong didn't understand for a while.

"It's ......." Wan'er approached Pei Murong's ear, and whispered with a hand to her mouth: "It's Gongzi Xu who had a conflict with Lu Xidao and Lu Gongzi in Wanhualou that day, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites ......." ”

Pei Murong seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and even his hands shook unconsciously, and his heart was even tighter, and he hurriedly looked at Wan'er's line of sight, only to see the man in green clothes sitting in the middle talking to the two women next to him at the moment, and the ...... Looking at the back image, it is the man who ran away that day, and he is holding a teapot at the moment with his waist and offering courtesy, but Xu Changting and the two women don't seem to pay attention to the man who is courteous.

"It's really him." Pei Murong muttered, his heroic brows frowning slightly, looking a little preoccupied.

is still the same sentence, if she can, she really doesn't want to have anything to do with Xu Gongzi.

She didn't know what impression she would have on other people about breaking her fingers while talking and laughing that day, but she knew it very well, just standing in the distance and watching for a short time, but it seemed that Xu Gongzi had planted the seeds of fear in her heart.

"Miss, are you alright?" Wan'er watched Pei Murong's face become a little ugly, and hurriedly asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Pei Murong pulled back his thoughts and shook his head and asked with a smile, "It should be almost there, right?" ”

"Miss Pei, I'll be here soon, you see, it's the painting boat." The middle-aged man who came to pick her up said with a gentle smile.

Pei Murong nodded silently, but she couldn't help but look at the boat that was heading in the opposite direction again, but the sickly smile of the man in green clothes became clearer and clearer in her mind.
