The two slowly walked around the island in the middle of the lake, and finally finished a walk.

The flowers are full of flowers, which is an early spring scenery that Lin Yi can't believe.

It turns out that the flowers of this era are no worse than modern gardening.

After a while, they converged with Qin Shuihan and the others.

The lunch was even more jaw-dropping.

The cake with the flower sauce is faintly visible, the fried egg wrapped in flower petals, and some deep-fried dishes with unknown flowers.

Lin Yi carefully held the dishes on the plate with chopsticks, not whether they were delicious or unpalatable, in short, they could be eaten.

In the painting boat, there are women dressed in flowers dancing, accompanied by banquet musicians, but it is a beautiful scenery of a peaceful and prosperous world.

But the men were clearly not fond of the food, and they enjoyed the dance, the sound of the harp, and the wine on the table.

There are all kinds of liquor on the table, the bottle with roses is called wandering wine, the bottle with apricot blossoms is called Jidi wine, and some bottles with no flowers have nice names.

Lin Yi glanced at Zuo Haoran, and sure enough, the guy didn't drink.

However, Mrs. Xia on the opposite side seemed to like the food here very much, and drank a lot of flower wine quietly.

Qin Yi also glanced at Zuo Haoran, Mrs. Zuo was in confinement, he was not very happy to come today, it was nothing more than Wen Tuzi coming, he wanted to see the strategist in Brother Bai's mouth.

Qin Yi also raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and the first wine was slightly sweet, which was somewhat close to the pear blossom wine in the house.

Suddenly, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Shuihan.

Who is Wen Tuzi, I forgot to report to the fifth brother!

He sighed in his heart, since this is the case, he won't mention anything, and see what the fifth brother has to say.

Lin Yi took a glass wine bottle with peach blossoms painted on it.

She poured herself a small glass.

The entrance is mellow, but it is still not as good as the plum blossom brew on the house.

Lin Yi's gaze inadvertently swept over Ge Jingci, after all, she was the only lady on the table.

But seeing her eyes blurred, Lin Yi was so frightened that she immediately put down her wine glass.

Let's eat vegetables, no, eat flowers!

Lin Yi's expression was a little exaggerated, as if he had eaten poison instead of vegetables.

"Yiyi, if it's not delicious, don't eat it. Go home and eat something delicious. ”

Although Qin Shuihan's voice was very soft, their interaction still reached everyone's eyes.

Wen Tuzi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect King Han to have this side.

The dancers changed again, and seeing that a few people were half drunk, Qin Shuihan dismissed the dancers.

He wanted to listen to the music quietly for a while and blow the lake breeze for a while.

Lin Yi unconsciously leaned a little closer to him, closed his eyes slightly, and also listened to the music and the wind.

Ge Jingci stood up suddenly, and a sharp voice crossed everyone's ears.

"Ruoyu, I want to dance!"

Qin Shuihan frowned, not looking forward to this woman's performance at all.

Xia Ruoyu hurriedly grabbed Ge Jingci.

"Jing Ci, don't make trouble, you drank too much today."

Ge Jingci shook her head and found that the man in front of her had become a ghost.

"No, I didn't drink much."

Everyone looked at the two of them, Xia Ruoyu was a little embarrassed, but she could only continue to coax Ge Jingci.

"Jing porcelain, be good, don't make trouble."

Ge Jingci pushed away the hand he was holding, just got up, and staggered down again.

Xia Ruoyu hurriedly hugged her, at a loss for a while.

"Ruoyu, I am responsible for being beautiful like a flower, and you are responsible for your livelihood and supporting your family, this is what we said."

Xia Ruoyu hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, this is our agreement." ”

"People are dancing well now, you have to believe me."

Xia Ruoyu said helplessly: "I don't believe you, it's just that you will drink too much and jump another day." ”

Ge Jingci lowered her head and began to lose her temper.

Wen Tuzi lowered his eyes, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Wen, what is your expression?"

Wen Tuzi shook his head lightly and did not answer Bai Ye's words.

However, in his eyes, King Han and the future Princess Han are the real Qin Se and Ming.

Bai Qiran looked at Xia Ruoyu with a smile on his face, he knew that this man was pulled by King Han, although he didn't quite understand the specific reason, but his achievements in the past few months should not be underestimated.

Although Wagang is a small place, it straddles the tributaries of the Yellow River and is a place to eat from the sky, and it also faces the problem of river flooding every year.

Although the successive county lieutenants will also use slogans to prepare for water control, only this young Xia county lieutenant really put into action, and it is really difficult for this low-level official with a nine-rank official position.

Bai Qiran figured out Qin Shuihan's thoughts, can this kid be promoted again?

But today, he hoped that King Han would take a fancy to that Brother Wen.

Because Wen Tuzi is in sympathy with him.

Looking at Ge Jingci, who was drunk and crazy, Lin Yi frowned, revealing an indescribable expression.

This Mrs. Xia is responsible for being as beautiful as a flower!

What an avant-garde way of thinking.

The bold words of her classmates came to her mind, and she didn't know what happened to those classmates who were clamoring to carry out their beauty to the end.

Lin Yi sighed slightly, a little missing those fun classmates.

Seeing that her expression seemed to be a little dark, Qin Shuihan immediately asked in her ear, "Yiyi, what's wrong?" ”

Suddenly, Lin Yi turned his head and stared at him stunned.

"Shui Han, what am I responsible for?"

Qin Shuihan thought about it for a while, and then he knew where this sentence came from.

He chuckled and said, "You just need to be by my side and be your truest self." As for the beauty that you already have, why be responsible. ”

Suddenly, Lin Yi smiled like a flower, and patted her little face shyly.

Being oneself is the greatest love and tolerance for oneself.

"And what are you responsible for?"

"Guarding you."

Qin Shuihan had a smile on the corner of his mouth, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Today's situation is to give Xia Ruoyu enough face, and he never thought that Bai Qiran would pull his brother over.

Although Bai Ye's appearance added a bit of poetic feeling, he became a little interested in the scribe named Wen Tuzi.

There are not many words, and he always maintains a humble posture, but he has a sense of desolation and arrogance in his bones.

Qin Shuihan has seen such people, some of them are rich and rich, and some of them are famous.

He glanced at Wen Tuzi again, and it happened that Wen Tuzi was also looking at him.

The four looked at each other, and neither of them separated their eyes.

Qin Shuihan squeezed his fists, there was no hostility in the other party's eyes, but there was an indescribable deep meaning.

Temptation, scrutiny, mixed with a lot of emotions.

Wen Tuzi smiled lightly and slowly lowered his head.

He had already inquired about Qin Shuihan's information in many ways, but he knew that the other party didn't know anything about him.

Lin Yi also followed Qin Shuihan's gaze and glanced at Wen Tuzi.

The clear face is engraved with the traces of time, different from the foreign curly hair, and the clothes are more simple and unpretentious, not at all like their own male gods and Xiao Qi.

Who are the scribes?

A legendary charlatan?

Lin Yi frowned slightly, but at this time she set her eyes on Ge Jingci, should she help her?

"I'm going to dance—"

Ge Jingci's drunken declaration once again crossed everyone's ears.

The dancers standing on the shore also looked at Ge Jingci with anticipation.

That lady wants to dance!

Such a beautiful woman must be like a flower god when she dances!

Even enthusiastic dancers wanted to hand her the ribbon in their hands.

Lin Yi stared at Ge Jingci who was holding the wine jug, and didn't think that she could dance at the moment.

"Shui Han, I'll take Mrs. Xia back to the house first, she will disturb you like this."

Qin Shuihan looked at Ge Jingci with a calm face, this woman really has a lot to do, but looking at Xia Ruoyu's doting appearance, he suddenly realized that no matter how stupid other people's women are, what does it matter to them.

However, he was a little curious about Wen Tuzi, and he really needed to observe him for a while.

"Yiyi, let Xuanfeng escort you back to the house."

Qin Shuihan gestured to Xuan Feng.

Xuan Feng conveyed a few words to Xia Ruoyu's ear, and after a while, they put Ge Jing's porcelain on the carriage and left the Song Painting Boat.

Xia Ruoyu immediately raised his wine glass to everyone.

"I'm clumsy, I'm punishing myself."

Qin Shuihan looked at the wine glass in front of him lightly, but the afterglow was looking at Wen Tuzi.

Qin Yi saw that the fifth brother didn't speak, but he didn't seem to be so angry, so he immediately continued: "Xia County's words are serious, Mrs. Zun is a person of temperament. It's just that I didn't expect the stamina of these flower wines to be so violent. ”

Qin Shuihan waved his hand at the musician, and suddenly there were only a few of them left in the painting boat.

The calm surface of the lake, with the occasional gust of wind, ruffles a pool of water.

Everyone stared at each other with understanding, and although it was not to discuss official business, they were all in good spirits.

At this moment, Zuo Haoran is the most transparent, he knows that today's banquet seems to be just a hospitality to the Wagang County Lieutenant, but there must be another deep meaning, so he has not been drinking, because he knows that he has the least qualifications, and he really doesn't understand the meaning.

Bai Qiran was the first to break the silence.

"King Han, when I took over the wind and dust to the Xia County Lieutenant today, I also introduced my brother's friend to you by the way."

He nodded to Wen Tuzi and continued: "This Brother Wen has read the hundred schools of thought since he was initiated, and he is proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal, but he yearns for a life like a crane in the idle clouds and wild clouds, and has not become an official in the court. ”

Wen Tuzi looked calm and did not deny the praise of others.

Zuo Haoran's heart is full of admiration, the so-called vertical and horizontal art is not something that can be learned from books, although he is also well-read, but he knows that he can only be regarded as a scholar, far from being a scholar.

Qin Yi nodded to Qin Shuihan with a sly expression.

Qin Shuihan couldn't cry or laugh, it seemed that Xiao Qi also liked this scribe.

It's just that although I also like strategists, it is not suitable to recruit strategists at this time.

He glanced at Wen Tuzi again.

"Gongzi Wen just yearns for freedom, so he doesn't want to be an official?"

Wen Tuzi did not answer this question directly, but glanced at Xia Ruoyu with a smile.

"If you go back to the Han King, although Wagang is a small place, if you go further north, it will be Nazhuo City."

Qin Shuihan and Qin Yi intersected, this sentence broke the hidden danger in the Northeast, and it was also the reason why they figured out why their father did not get rid of Zhen Qiang.

But they really don't know the true situation in Zhuocheng, and it was their father's decision, and they can't trespass.

Qin Shuihan nodded shallowly and looked at the scenery outside the painting boat.

Wen Tuzi closed his eyes and suddenly said, "The wind can detect someone's possession, but it ignores the places where he has been blowing. ”

Qin Shuihan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

And they were silent.

Xia Ruoyu wanted to ask clearly, after all, Wagang was his jurisdiction.

But what does it have to do with Zhuocheng?

He pondered that in the months he had been in office, he had not made any contribution except to work with the people to clean up the mud.

Although there is a clear plan for the fertile land, it is undeniable that there are indeed many middle-aged men who have gone elsewhere.

There is a shortage of labor.

Xia Ruoyu sighed in his heart, the compulsory service is once every two years, and there is no need to flee to other places, anyway, it is still necessary to serve when he returns.

Qin Shuihan didn't like Wen Tuzi's way of saying half and half left, but this was a common problem for scribes.

He was testing whether he was worthy of trust, but Qin Shuihan's heart was not very interested in the position of the crown prince.

If you become an emperor, what do you want to govern the country into?

Qin Shuihan knew that he was not a saint and could not rule by inaction, he hoped that the people could get practical benefits and live and work in peace and contentment.

His mind recalled a poem that Lin Yi had said.

Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain.

Looking at the sparkling lake, Qin Shuihan floated up again with Lin Yi's love for money.

Only when the country is rich can the people be safe.

Suddenly, he chuckled, and seemed to understand the meaning of Wen Tuzi's words.

"Young Master Wen, the people of the Wind Shadow Pavilion are just friends of this king, not people in the court. Jiangshan Sheji needs people like Gongzi to care about the world together. ”

Wen Tuzi was slightly stunned, worthy of being the King of Cold, really wise.
