Chapter Twenty-Four: Tanabata
Although the misunderstanding between Qin Xi'er and Li Yunji has been resolved, the relationship between the two has not made substantial progress.
Li Yunji lived a leisurely life, and Qin Xi'er was busy handling cases.
Both of them have their own lives, and there is hardly any communication on weekdays.
Today is Tanabata, and the streets and alleys are drying clothes.
Drying clothes is the custom of Nanyang people to celebrate Qixi Festival, and Shangjing is the imperial capital, which is the first to bear the brunt.
Early in the morning, each family erections long poles and hangs colorful clothes in the yard.
Standing higher, it is quite stylish.
Not only that, every year on Tanabata, Zuiyuelou will hold a lantern festival on the Lihua River in the south of the city.
This year is no exception, Yang Xiaoyu and Mei'er are busy with this matter these days.
Since it was hosted by Zuiyue Tower, Li Yunji was naturally invited, and in order to cheer for Zuiyue Tower, Li Yunji responded.
By the way, Su Changqing was also invited to go with him.
However, Qin Xi'er's side is different, Su Ling's mouth is about to wear out.
"Xi'er! You're going with me!" ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Qixi Festival is a festival between lovers, what does it have to do with me?" Qin Xi'er looked indifferent.
"Also, you can't say that, you look outside, there are lights everywhere, how lively it will be then! You don't want to go out and about? ”
"I don't want to." Qin Xi'er refused very simply.
Su Ling was a little panicked, "You should just go shopping with me!" ”
In previous years, Su Ling was not interested in the Qixi Festival at all, why was she so active this year, Qin Xi'er couldn't help but be a little strange.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you won't be, you have a sweetheart, right?" Qin Xi'er teased.
Sweetheart? Su Ling was stunned for a moment, but it was a good excuse.
"That's right! Yes, I have a sweetheart, this is not thinking, taking advantage of the Qixi Festival to let you check for me. ”
Qin Xi'er sneered, and her body immediately stuck to it.
"Whose son is it?"
"You'll know when the time comes!"
Su Ling's mysterious appearance aroused Qin Xi'er's curiosity.
"I want to see what our future colt will look like!"
"Then you agreed?!" Su Ling was a little excited.
Qin Xi'er nodded.
Finally agreed, Su Ling couldn't help but sweat.
The plan agreed with Yang Xiaoyu a few days ago almost fell off the chain in his hand.
Just as Qin Xi'er was about to go out, Su Ling stopped her.
"Are you going to solve the case or going to the Lantern Festival?!"
Su Ling looked Qin Xi'er up and down.
"What, what's wrong?"
"When you go to the Lantern Festival, you have to dress nicely!"
Su Ling said that, and dressed up for Qin Xi'er.
With a pillar of incense, Qin Xi'er changed from a righteous and awe-inspiring young lady to a slim girl next door.
"Is this necessary?" Qin Xi'er looked at herself in the mirror and frowned.
"Of course!" A wicked smile appeared on Su Ling's face.
Twilight is approaching, and the Ewha River is already overcrowded.
In the crowd, there are several familiar figures moving towards the Lihua Building built on the river.
It's the three Scarface brothers.
The three of them finally passed through the crowd and came to the Pear Blossom Building.
Sit down in an empty room on the second floor, seemingly waiting for someone.
Not long after, Zhao Li appeared in front of the three of them.
"I've inquired, and Li Yunji will also come to the Lantern Festival tonight."
"That's it last time, with Jiang Kui here, you guys are really not opponents."
"If I miss again this time, you guys will fuck me off!"
"Yes! Son! ”
Although Li Yunji had helped the three of them before, after Zhao Li was beaten, the three of them could be regarded as repaying the favor.
In any case, Zhao Li is their master, even if they know that they can't beat Li Yunji, they can only agree to come down.
The sky gradually darkened, and the Pear Blossom River at night was a little more amazing than in the daytime.
The lights on the riverside are reflected in the water, spreading out with the ripples, forming a brilliant halo of light.
The boatman on the river was moored in the middle, and the people on the boat threw lanterns into the water, and the lanterns carried the man's hope with the tide until it burned out.
After all the distinguished guests of Pear Flower Building arrived, a gong sounded, attracting the attention of all the visitors.
Under the cross bridge ahead, a flower boat crosses the bridge.
It was Mei'er who was holding the boat, and it was Yang Xiaoyu who was sitting on the bow of the boat holding the pipa.
Li Yunji and Su Changqing sat in the cabin under Yang Xiaoyu's arrangement.
Under the watchful eye of the two, one sings and one dances.
The posture is graceful and the singing voice is moving, and everyone present is moved.
On the cross bridge, Su Ling pulled Qin Xi'er late.
Su Ling and the two people on the boat glanced at each other, and then glanced at Qin Xi'er, who didn't know why.
"Xi'er, I'm sorry!"
"What?"
Just when Qin Xi'er was puzzled, Su Ling pushed her out with a palm and ripped off the hairpin on her head.
With Qin Xi'er's skills, she can easily cope with this kind of occasion.
I saw her waist twist to stabilize her figure, her eyes glanced down, and she soon found a foothold.
Between the falls, Qin Xi'er's scattered hair rose with the wind, and a Tsing Yi danced in the air with its own spinning.
Seeing that she was about to land smoothly, Mei'er pushed the bamboo pole in her hand into the river, and the hull of the boat moved an inch.
It was this inch that made Qin Xi'er lose her center of gravity.
At the last moment, a hand wrapped around Qin Xi'er's waist to hold her steady, and she looked at it fixedly.
Li Yunji!
Thousands of thoughts poured into Qin Xi'er's mind, at that moment just now, she had thought about thousands of people, but she didn't expect that this person was Li Yunji!
Also stunned was Li Yunji.
Since Li Yunji met Qin Xi'er, she has been wearing official clothes, and today is the first time Li Yunji has seen her wearing regular clothes.
Qin Xi'er's face was already exquisite, but she didn't expect it to be so beautiful and moving after changing into regular clothes!
The two held this position for a few seconds, until they heard the cheers of the people on the shore, and they parted from each other.
"Good! Good! ”
"Heroes save beauty!"
"What a talented woman!"
…
The downstairs cheered and was happy, but Zhao upstairs was in a hurry.
"What are you doing?! Don't give it to me yet! ”
At the sound of an order, the three brothers who were watching the play by the river reacted.
The three of them detoured to the bridge and jumped onto the boat.
Li Yunji and Qin Xi'er confronted the three of them back to back.
Suddenly, Scarface took the lead in attacking, and a right hook was slammed into Li Yunji's body, Li Yunji blocked with his right hand and lifted his left foot up.
"Oh roar~"
Scarface covered his crotch and knelt on the ground.
Everyone on the shore sighed, "Huh..."
The remaining two minions are not a problem.
In just a few seconds, the three of them were kneeling neatly on the deck.
"Do you jump by yourself or will I do it for you?" Li Yunji said coldly.
"Jump on your own, jump on your own..."
After speaking, the three of them jumped into the river.
"Good!"
"Brother Tai is very skilled!"
"What a blessing the girl!"
……
Another cheer.
originally wanted to make Li Yunji look ugly, but let him be out of the limelight, Zhao Li was annoyed and ashamed, and decided to take action himself.
"Yo! Isn't this the Qin family's abandoned son-in-law? Today is the Qixi Festival, you are an abandoned son-in-law, what are you doing to join in the fun? ”
As soon as Zhao Liyi finished speaking, he successfully induced the direction of public opinion, and everyone on the shore immediately discussed Li Yunji's identity.
"Yes, what are you doing here?"
"This is the lantern festival held by Zuiyue Tower, he is an abandoned son-in-law, and he is still sitting on a flower boat, this, what kind of system is this?!"
"I think he must have been of bad character, so he was divorced by his wife!"
…
"Zhao Gongzi's words are wrong, where did you know that I am the abandoned son-in-law of the Qin family?!" Li Yunji raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
Li Yunji reversed Zhao Li into an army with a word.
Although he knew that Qin Xi'er had divorced Li Yunji, the Qin family did not publicize this matter, and few people knew about it.
But looking at Li Yunji's arrogant appearance, Zhao Li really couldn't swallow this breath.
"If you are not an abandoned son-in-law, how can my Zhao family go to the Qin Mansion to propose marriage?!"
"Zhao Gongzi! You can't talk nonsense! Who doesn't know in Shangjing that the Zhao family and the Qin family are married? ”
"Qin Xi'er is your sister-in-law! Zhao Gongzi, you are against the principles of heaven! ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
"Yes! This Zhao family and the Qin family are indeed relatives! ”
"It's really against heaven..."
"General Zhao I is wise, why is this Zhao Gongzi talking so absurdly?"
"yes..."
Li Yunji said a few words, and Zhao Li fell into disadvantage.
The discussion of everyone soon changed from Li Yunji's identity to Zhao Li's actions.
"You! Zhao Li's face was angry.
But in the face of Li Yunji's words, Zhao Li knew that the general trend had gone, and he had nothing to say for a while, so he sat down dejectedly.
Seeing this, the three scar-faced brothers, who were soaked all over, hurriedly stepped forward to admonish.
"Childe, forget it, we can't fight him..."
After solving Zhao Li, only Li Yunji and Qin Xi'er were left on the ship.
The shore, which was still lively just now, also disappeared with Su Ling and the others.
At this moment, there is only one boat and a pair of beauties on Pear Blossom Creek.
"Thank you just now."
After Qin Xi'er finished speaking, she inadvertently brushed the hair in her ear.
"You're welcome."
Li Yunji looked at Qin Xi'er's scattered hair, and suddenly remembered the hosta around his waist.
"This... Here you go. ”
Qin Xi'er was stunned and took the hosta a little shyly.
"Why do you have this with you?"
After Qin Xi'er asked this sentence, Li Yunji reacted, it turned out that he had already been in the "trap" of several people!
"This is what they prepared."
"They? Oh..."Qin Xi'er looked a little lost.
Two simple sentences, but the atmosphere heated up rapidly.
Both of them sensed that something was wrong, and in order to relieve the embarrassment, they aimed at the bamboo pole at the bow of the boat.
"I'll paddle!"
The two of them held the bamboo pole almost at the same time, and then threw it away at the same time.
"Knock"
Looking at the bamboo poles floating on the water, the two fell silent.
And then there was a hearty laugh.
"Why don't you have a drink?"
"Hmm!"
……
"Honestly! Did you play stupid before?! Hiccup~"
"It's not!"
"Then why have you become so powerful now?! Hiccup~"
"This, hiccup~ What's this? Hiccup, it's still far from what Lao Tzu has to do! ”
"You, what do you want to do?! Hiccup~"
"Lao Tzu wants to do it, burp ~ the first in the world! ……”
