In the boat lay a girl in a red dress and a plain skirt, her face covered with a silk handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers, and her face could not be seen clearly. One of her hands hung down in the water, and from time to time she plucked the water, making a rattling sound. Mu Xiao stared at her blankly, even if she couldn't see her face, she felt that she must be very beautiful.

The girl seemed to sense something, stopped, withdrew her hand, and sat up. Silk Pa fell, revealing her beautiful face. She looked fourteen or fifteen years old, her face was a little too fair, but fortunately, she was slightly flushed because of the sun.

Mu Xiao looked at her fixedly, she also looked at Mu Xiao fixedly, then smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you Mu Xiao?" ”

Her voice was soft and beautiful, and Mu Xiao seemed to have woken up from a dream, and said busily: "Yes, I am Mu Xiao." You, are you Miss Bai San? ”

"Yes, I'm Bai Shuiyun." She replied quietly.

She slowly stood up and said to Mu Xiao, "You help me pull the boat, I'm going ashore." ”

Mu Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the rope tied to the boat, seeing Bai Shuiyun swaying, she wanted to help her again, but she was afraid that she would be abrupt. Bai Shuiyun looked delicate, but she was also very dexterous, and with a slight jump, she fell to the shore.

Bai Shuiyun turned her head to look at Mu Xiao and said generously: "Yesterday, I heard my mother say that Master Mu's family came, but his health has not been good. I want to go and see Mrs. Mu another day. After being bored for so many days, he sneaked out to bask in the sun and blow the wind, but unexpectedly bumped into Mu Gongzi. ”

Mu Xiao looked at her right hand and said, "The water in this lake is very cold, right?" You're too weak to touch water. ”

Bai Shuiyun said nonchalantly: "Be careful of this, be careful of that, what's the use?" It's better to do whatever you want. ”

As they walked along the lake, Bai Shuiyun asked again, "Why aren't your family in the capital anymore?" Will you all go back to your hometown in Jiangnan in the future? ”

"Yes. My father has been sick for several years, but this time he finally resigned and took us back to his hometown. However, the elder brother is still in the capital. ”

Bai Shuiyun blinked his eyes and didn't speak.

The two walked silently for a while, and Mu Xiao said sneeringly: "You, you have grown taller." ”

"You've grown taller, you've grown a lot taller." Bai Shuiyun said.

At this time, a voice called in the distance: "Third Miss! Three Misses! Madame looking for you! Where are you? Come out quickly! ”

Bai Shuiyun said to Mu Xiao: "I'm going back, and I'm going to take medicine again." ”

Mu Xiao was stunned. Bai Shuiyun walked a few steps and then turned back to him and said, "I'll let Xiaoqin come to you tomorrow, let's go horseback riding, okay?" ”

Mu Xiao nodded happily. Bai Shuiyun smiled again, turned around and ran. Mu Xiao followed slowly for a few steps, and heard Yahuan's complaining voice from a distance: "Miss, you run again, and you will be angry again when you turn around!" ”

"What's the matter!" Bai Shuiyun's voice.

The next day, the girl named Xiaoqin really came to lead Mu Xiao. It seems that Madame Bai has already come to greet Mrs. Mu, and Mrs. Mu is also in favor of letting the two children play together. In Baijiabao, all the rules in the capital seem to be automatically ineffective.

Bai Shuiyun was sneaky, taking Mu Xiao, leading a horse by himself, and walking out of the path. The little boy who raised the horse grabbed the reins and stopped: "Third Miss, Third Miss, the old lady has expressly forbidden you to ride a horse, you can't go!" ”

"Today Mu Gongzi is here, my mother just agreed to let us go horseback riding, I don't believe you can ask again!" Bai Shuiyun said confidently.

The little girl hesitated, Bai Shuiyun pulled the reins and got on the horse and left, and Mu Xiao hurriedly followed her. The little guy shouted from behind: "Third Miss, slow down!" Wait for me, let me follow! ”

Bai Shuiyun rode on the horse, let the horse trot for a while, then slowed down, and said to Mu Xiao beside him: "All day is resting, I'm so bored that I'm almost out of breath!" ”

Mu Xiao said: "Xiaoqin told my mother that she was looking for me to play chess, but I didn't expect ......."

"Playing chess, playing chess, playing chess all day long, how can there be a pleasure in riding a horse!" Bai Shuiyun smiled happily and proudly.
