Chapter 48: The Fire

"I heard that a girl has recently come to the Green Willow Pavilion, she plays the pipa very well, and her voice is the same as that of a warbler, why don't you invite her over later?"

"Very good, only drinking on the boat, it's really a bit boring, there are a few girls playing some tunes, one elegant thing, it's in line with our identity!"

"It's the pole, it's the pole. ”

"If you want me to say, even if it's that girl just now, how can she compare to the girl of the Green Willow Pavilion? The chess skills of the peony girl are much better than this girl, why don't you invite the peony girl over and play a few games with us later?"

"Good idea, maybe, maybe you can come out on top, haha!"

When a few readers talked about their interest, they only felt that their depression had disappeared, as if they were taking advantage of their mouths, and losing to a little girl was no longer a shame.

A boy saw that Zheng Yingci was still depressed, and couldn't help but feel unhappy, so he came over and asked, "Brother Zheng, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Zheng Yingci, who was awakened, looked at Tong Sheng, this person's face was a little bad, and he repeated what he just said.

As soon as Zheng Yingci heard this, his already depressed mood became even worse.

What are these things?

Su Ziji, who originally wanted to befriend, has the wind of the breeze and the bright moon, but he can slip without leaving his hands, and he has no intention of attaching himself to the Zheng family, and although these people have some talents, they have not yet achieved fame, so they think about this kind of pleasure, which really makes Zheng Yingci a little disdainful.

What makes him feel even more ashamed is that these people have dirty thoughts.

Even if you are narrow-minded, use this kind of thing to humiliate Ye Buregret, who won the chess match, where is this humiliating her, it is clearly humiliating herself!

Zheng Yingci's expression became cold, and he didn't say anything wrong, and said directly: "Zheng has something to do, so he won't go, and a few brothers will be there." ”

said, without looking at everyone's reactions, he walked to his only friend who had a good relationship in this painting boat - Chen Ziyi.

"Brother Chen, let's go back. "Since you have given up making friends, it is better to follow Chen Ziyi down the boat and seek your own pastime.

Chen Ziyi did not participate in the chess game, nor did he hear the conversation just now, seeing his depressed expression, he thought that he was depressed because he lost the chess game, and comforted: "Brother Xian, with your talents, you will definitely take a career in the future, chess, just a pastime, you don't have to care too much." ”

"I understand. Zheng Yingci was depressed about the chess game, he felt that he didn't know people clearly, and he mistook trash for someone to make friends with, and he felt ashamed.

Moreover, he always felt that he had forgotten something and could not remember it, which was difficult to let go.

The most important thing is that I feel depressed when I paint the boat.

However, in order not to worry Chen Ziyi, Zheng Yingci reluctantly smiled: "With my chess skills, even if I enter the sixteenth tournament and go to the capital, it will be difficult to come out on top, so it is better to put my mind on the imperial examination." ”

Seeing this, Chen Ziyi was relieved.

The two of them went on their own boats, glancing at the eyes of the people on the painting boat, both with annoyance, Chen Ziyi sighed again.

"This chess game was lost to a young girl, it seems that the blow to the virtuous brother is still a bit big, usually the virtuous brother is not like this will offend people's temperament. ”

"Not only the virtuous brothers, but also many students on the painting boat, have also changed their faces, and it seems that they can't be beaten. Thinking like this, Chen Ziyi plans to go back and explain it well.

The boat that the two of them took was naturally bigger than Su Ziji and Ye Buregret, although it was not as good as the painting boat, it was only a little smaller, and there were not only a few cabins on the boat, but also a few families.

This is the Zheng family's own boat, although it is not directly engaged in business, but the Zheng family has its own boat, which is normal, just like the ox cart, but it is just a means of transportation.

"Anyway, Miss Ye, who won the chess game, came with Su Ziji, doesn't Su Ziji have a good relationship with you?" got on the boat and entered the cabin, sat against the window, Chen Ziyi took a sip of the hot tea and asked.

I didn't ask just now, it was surrounded by people, and it was not good to ask in front of outsiders, but now that the ship is full of its own people, Chen Ziyi has no worries.

Zheng Yingci's expression froze, and under Chen Ziyi's gaze, he smiled: "It's just that people from the same county know each other, and speaking of which, he has a good relationship with Fang Xi." ”

To be more precise, the relationship with the Fang family is good.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yingci found the reason why he couldn't recruit Su Zi.

"This Su Zi nationality, since he has caught up with the Fang family, he may feel that there is no need to rely on the Zheng family anymore. ”

"Although he is only a poor student, he has learned well after listening to Fang Xi?" Chen Ziyi asked curiously: "But the county exam ranking is eleventh, which is not very high!"

"To be fair, Su Ziji's article is indeed good, and this ranking is a bit low. "Zheng Yingci has read Su Ziji's article, and according to the rules, all the papers of the children who won the child are copied and posted, and the same will be true for Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi in the future.

In this way, although the examiner can be favored, the level is too low to be on the list.

"That's it, let's not talk about it. Thinking of this, Zheng Yingci suddenly became bored, and he didn't know why he was so emotional, so he directly proposed to Chen Ziyi: "I heard that there is a wine shop on the shore of Panlong Lake, why don't we go over and have a taste?"

"Good!"

The boat headed toward the shore, and at that moment a gust of wind blew, and his eyes ached, and he could barely open them.

When the wind passed through the window, Zheng Yingci and Chen Ziyi opened their eyes again, only to realize that the sky was overcast, and the stars and rain were sprinkled again.

Chen Ziyi couldn't help laughing: "The weather has been very strange in the past few days, and it is raining again, but watching the scenery in the rain is also an elegant thing." ”

As he spoke, suddenly a servant pointed behind him and shouted in horror: "Young master, it's not good." ”

"What young master is not good, can he speak human words?" Zheng Yingci was in an unhappy mood, and suddenly became angry, if it weren't for his good temperament, he would smash the dog head in front of him when he touched something casually!

"Brother Xian, it's not good, look at ......" Chen Ziyi changed color and pointed to the lake.

Zheng Yingci looked over and was stunned.

"The painting, the painting boat is on fire!" a family member shouted in his ear, pointing to the exquisite painting boat not far away.

I saw that the painting boat that carried the chess player's yearning for the capital game was already on fire at this time, and it was allowed to be cloudy just now, and I don't know which reckless guy lit a candle, and the result was a fire.

Through the firelight, you can see that the painting boat has long been in a mess, and the most important thing is that the painting boat colludes together for the chess game, so that the fire is a string, and the painting boat is all good wood, and it is very fast under the fire, and in an instant, it burns a red around.

The scholars on the boat, along with the boatmen, either screamed and fell into the water, or jumped off of their own accord.

But another gust of wind blew, causing the fire that had just been suppressed to jump up again, and the people who were still fighting the fire jumped into the water one after another to save themselves.

The boats, which were a little farther away, were frightened and rowed away, for fear of following in the footsteps of the boat.

"Help, help!" cries for help came and went.

By this time, the fire had burned through the canopy, and the girders had collapsed and fallen, blocking the cabin, and the fire was raging, shattering all hope of escape.
