Feeling his heart pounding, Yue Zhongqing subconsciously asked in the most calm and elegant tone: "It turned out to be Miss Xu, the unexpected singing voice is so moving, and the artistic conception in the song is even more enviable. ”

Qingping smiled and said: "Yue Gongzi is too modest, the little girl is shallow in learning, where does she know so much, but there are sentences in Gongzi's song, 'It is no longer a boat in the world', and 'the smoke is Shenzhou in many places', which is obviously a pity for the suffering of the Li people, so it will be so depressed." Although the little girl didn't understand Childe's ambitions, she heard her brother mention that Childe was far-sighted, so she didn't want to see Childe so depressed, so she sang a tune to make fun, and she didn't have any other ideas, just hoped that Childe would relax his mind. ”

Yue Zhongqing had mixed feelings in his heart, and he only felt that he was emotional, he was talented, and it was a well-known thing in the township, everyone thought that if he entered Beijing for reference, he must be taking Zhu Zi like picking up mustard, even his father thought that his purpose was to be rich and prosperous, but he felt that the current situation was ambiguous and unclear, and he didn't want to let himself get involved. But no one knows that he is not extravagant to paint a shadow of Lingyan, nor is he rare brocade robes and jade belts, all he wants is to be able to be close to his ability in the turbulent future of the four seas, and do his best to protect the people and save their lives, for this purpose, no matter who the courtiers are, he will not have any objections, whether it is the court he yearns for in his heart, or the prince of Yue Guo, or even other vassal kings who are eyeing the enemy, but this level of thinking is indescribable, so that it can only be buried in obscurity. Seeing that the situation in the world is deteriorating day by day, even though the heart is not dead wood and ashes, it is already like an untied boat, helpless. This girl who met for the first time, although she was not outstanding, but through a short song to see through her own mind, it was really a rare time for a confidant, thinking of this, Yue Zhongqing said more and more attentively: "Thank you girl for explaining, I just feel it in the next place, and my brother can't help but praise it, why did the girl come out alone, and my brother didn't accompany me?"

Qingping let out a long sigh, and then said sincerely: " The younger brother is resting in the cabin, the little woman came alone, there is no other meaning here, just to thank the son, and there is a reluctant invitation, the younger brother has suffered some since childhood, so the temperament is withdrawn, do not like to talk to outsiders, the little woman often regrets this, lest one day I am not by his side, he will be lonely, today I don't know why, he will take the initiative to thank the son, and talk to the son for a while, the little woman is happy and also has an idea, although the waterway is fast, it also takes a while, if the son can talk to the brother more, or can change the temper of the brother, although the brother is not educated, but the temperament is smart,Whenever you have a unique idea.,I just don't like to say it.,If Childe can talk to him.,It shouldn't make Childe feel bored.。 ”

Yue Zhongqing suddenly heard the words, no wonder the young man was concise and to the point, he asked three sentences, and he rarely answered, it was really a withdrawn character, this Miss Xu imagined it for her younger brother, she was really brotherly and affectionate, she just had no other intentions, and she should not hesitate to help, not to mention that in this short moment, he had already discovered the hidden Hui Zhilan heart under this woman's mediocre appearance, and he wanted to get along with this woman more, and his mind changed, and he said happily:" What's the matter, the journey is lonely, if Miss Xu doesn't dislike it, the two of them can meet in the cabin below tomorrow, and they are tired of playing chess with Uncle Zhan all the way, so it's better for everyone to talk together, but you can also kill time. ”

Qingping nodded secretly when she heard this, this Yue Gongzi is really as thoughtful as she thought, and she can complete what she asked him to do without a trace, she thought about it along the way, and only felt that Yang Ning's temperament was the most worried, and it was naturally good to be strong and stoic, but if you refuse to tolerate everything, you are afraid that it is not appropriate, just easy to break, strong and humiliating, think about it Since the breakup in Yueyang, the only thing Yang Ning has done is probably to make revenge and kill, if this continues, one day he will be counterattacked, for Yang Ning's future plans, it is always good to let him restrain his temperament。 But Qingping knows that she can't do anything about this matter, if she is by his side, no matter what it is, as long as she opens her mouth, Yang Ning will most likely do it, but if she is not around, Yang Ning will definitely relapse into her old ways, and it will be useless after all. She also thought about slowly persuading Yang Ning, but this didn't work, somehow, others regarded Yang Ning as a flood beast, and they were afraid and jealous in their hearts, but in her mind, they loved and pitied Yang Ning, even if Yang Ning really made any wrong decisions, she always couldn't bear to persuade her, or even didn't want to persuade her. Just like when Yang Ning angrily mentioned his dissatisfaction with Yue Zhongqing after getting on the boat, he knew that even if Yue Zhongqing did not support Yang Ning in time, he was also a chivalrous man with a broad mind, and he should only be respected and grateful, but somehow, he couldn't think of convincing Yang Ning not to "take revenge", and even for fear that Yang Ning would be dissatisfied, he even made the decision to do it himself.

When she woke up in the cabin, Yang Ning hadn't come back yet, she thought of the noon incident but felt very afraid, although she had never considered herself a chivalrous person, but how could such a decision be made, although it was an impossible expectation, but she also felt a little guilty and uneasy, so after thinking about it, she still decided to try to change Yang Ning. After careful consideration, she found that in fact, Yang Ning's decisions most of the time were understandable, but his temperament was cold and withdrawn, even if he was well-intentioned, he was afraid that he would be regarded as malicious, as long as he could make Yang Ning accustomed to communicating with others, then with Yang Ning's ingenuity, at least he would not force his friends into enemies.

And after Qingping made up her mind, Yang Ning came back and told what happened, she didn't know that Yang Ning forced herself to talk to Yue Zhongqing in order not to let herself work hard, but when Yang Ning appreciated Yue Zhongqing a lot and liked to talk to him, she took advantage of Yang Ning's practice in the cabin to come out and ask Yue Zhongqing to help, of course, she concealed many details of the truth, after all, if Yue Zhongqing knew Yang Ning's true identity and Yang Ning's murderous intentions against him, I was afraid that it would add trouble. And Qingping, who was full of Yang Ning's figure, didn't notice the admiration and curiosity in the depths of Yue Zhongqing's eyes at all, if she appeared in her true form, Qingping would still believe that someone would fall in love with her at first sight, but in the case of disguise, she didn't think about this possibility at all.

After the discussion, Qingping said goodbye and left, hurriedly returned to the cabin, just walked into the door, but felt as if she wanted to see through the piercing gaze, looked up, only to see Yang Ning looking at herself coldly, a pair of deep eyes were already a blend of ice and fire, and there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion in her eyes. If it was someone else, under his gaze, he was afraid that he would already sweat like rain, but Qingping, who had long been accustomed to the strange temper of this future demon emperor, walked to Yang Ning's side, stretched out his hand and said viciously: "Zijing, what kind of expression do you have, don't forget that I am your sister." ”

Zi Jing's anger somehow disappeared under Qingping's rough movements, but when she remembered the scene she saw through the window just now, she still felt sour in her heart, and couldn't help but turn her face away, just not seeing the smile in Qingping's eyes. Seeing him like this, Qingping finally softened her heart, and leaned over to him and asked in a low voice, "Zijing, what's wrong, what are you angry about?"

Zijing hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't say what he thought in his heart, and even became strange, when he lived in Dongting with Shuangjue, although Shuangjue made a living from performing arts, he would also occasionally receive some romantic guests on the painting boat, although he was just a guest, but it was not that there was no talk and laughter, he didn't feel strange at that time, and now Qingping just said a few words to a "oily head and noodles" kid, can he still stop it? After sulking for a long time, under Qingping's questioning, Zijing finally reluctantly said"Your injuries are not healed, and you don't put on a piece of clothing, so you go out to blow the wind, what if you suffer from the cold, Sister Luqi always says that you are usually in good health, but once you are cold, you often do not heal for months, I really don't worry, if Sister Luqi knows that I didn't take good care of you, I will definitely blame me." ”

Although Qingping faintly felt that this was not the case, she didn't want to ask any further, and said with a smile: "Where is it so serious, my internal injuries are almost better, and I just went to say a few words to Yue Gongzi, this Yue Gongzi is not only kind-hearted, but also talented, just look at his words and deeds, you know that he is worthy of being a child from a famous family in Jiangnan." I heard you relay what he said about Sang Luozhou, I feel very familiar, I thought for a while before I remembered that there was a similar record in the notes left by my father, my father once said, 'Sang Luozhou is adjacent to Poyang in the south, the river in the middle, and the Lei Chi in the north, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is an important place for the navy, Jiujiang is a place of silence, and the middle stream of the belt, if it is not supplemented by Sangluozhou, it cannot be safe and sound, and when the south of the Yangtze River is in chaos, Sangluoku has almost no peace. These words are the understanding of his father's fierce battle in the rivers and lakes for many years, but what Yue Gongzi said is secretly in line with his father, it can be seen that Yue Gongzi must be proficient in military affairs, and he can be regarded as a handsome man with both civil and military skills. I have already made an appointment with Yue Gongzi to go to his room to chat, you can go with you, and you will have more information. ”

Yang Ning heard it all the time, he only felt resentful, and secretly hated why he mentioned to Qingping what Yue Zhongqing said to him for no reason, if Yue Zhongqing was in front of him at this moment, he was afraid that the Ning Qing Sword in his sleeve had already made a move, but seeing the glow between Qingping's eyebrows, he finally endured a bad breath and said gloomily: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow." He promised in his mouth, but he was already ruthless in his heart, if that Yue Zhongqing behaved properly, if he dared to offend Qingping or talk nonsense, even Qingping would not allow it, and he must be killed to give up.

After the discussion, Qingping was happy in her heart, although she had rested for a few hours during the day, she still felt tired, and after instructing Yang Ning not to move a few words of caution tomorrow, she lay on the couch with her clothes, ready to sleep peacefully. But this time Qingping's mood fluctuated a little, she and Zijing boarded the ship as sisters and brothers, and it was very rare for Yue Zhongqing to give them his cabin, so it was naturally impossible to live in another room. It's just a daytime, Qingping trusted Yang Ning, and secondly, she was tired and didn't have the mood to care, so she fell asleep quickly, but in the dead of night, she was so close to a person of the opposite sex, and she could vaguely smell the breath of a young man in the cabin, even if this person had an extraordinary status in her mind, Qingping couldn't help but feel embarrassed and uneasy in her heart.

Yang Ning was empathetic at this time, he could feel Qingping's uneasiness, and he didn't say anything to comfort him, he turned around on the floor, and pulled the quilt on his head, but for a moment, his breath was already like nothing, if he didn't pay attention, the faint breathing sound was like the wind passing through the water, without a trace, Qingping listened and listened, only to feel that a heart had been quiet like the cold waves of the ancient well, and it didn't take long to fall asleep.

At this time, Yang Ning's body moved slightly, he tore off the quilt covering his face, opened his eyes, and looked at the top of the cabin in a daze, under the cover of darkness, the deep and cold phoenix eyes revealed boundless loneliness and hesitation, if someone saw his expression at this moment, he definitely didn't realize that this young man was the future demon emperor who killed like hemp, and the deep-rooted loneliness and sadness made him like a lonely goose without roots.

Finally couldn't bear the emptiness in his heart, Yang Ning knelt up, just looking at the sleeping Qingping on the couch, in the quiet and dark cabin, although there was no light, but Yang Ning's eyes were already as bright as cold stars, and he could see Qingping's sweet sleeping face clearly, reaching out and gently caressing Qingping's cheeks, but when the skin was about to touch, it suddenly stopped, but the warmth and softness seemed to be transmitted to the fingertips through the thin air like cicada wings, melting the cold ice in his heart a little. Could it be, after tomorrow, I will never have the opportunity to be so close to her, or I will lose the warmth that I crave most in my heart again. At this moment, Qingping frowned slightly in her sleep, and whispered, "Zijing!"

Yang Ning only felt a shock all over his body, as if the blood in his cavity was boiling, Qingping still didn't realize it, turned over, whispered again, his voice was indistinct, but Yang Ning could still hear it, he was calling himself, and he couldn't bear the joy in his heart, Yang Ning lay down again, closed his eyes slightly, and didn't dare to move at all, so as not to alarm Qingping's sleep. After another moment, Qingping fell asleep again after tossing and turning, listening to Qingping's quiet breathing, and smelling the fragrance of orchid in her nose, Yang Ning fell asleep unconsciously.

There was no dream all night, Yang Ning, who put down most of his thoughts, slept until three o'clock in the morning, only to be woken up by the itchy feeling in his nose, "Ah sneeze", a huge sneeze, Yang Ning opened his eyes, and saw Qingping sitting beside him, a face that was also disgusted and happy blocked the sunlight shining through the porthole, and she was holding a hair in her hand, dangling at the tip of her nose, Yang Ning understood what the murder weapon was, and couldn't help but leak a trace of laughter in her eyes. Qingping saw that he had woken up, so she said coquettishly: "The sun is up to the buttocks, lazy worm, I haven't gotten up yet, I've already gone outside to see the sunrise, but it's a pity that you slept too soundly, and I didn't want to wake you up." ”

Yang Ning had an ominous premonition in his heart, jumped up, rolled up the futon on the ground and put it under the bed, then took the hot towel handed to him by Qingping and put it on his face, and asked sullenly: "The sun rises and sets, you can see it every day, is there anything unusual?" Get up so early, I'm afraid you can't see a figure on the boat, right?"

Qingping said with a smile: "Then how can it be the same, watch the sunrise in the wilderness and wasteland, watch the sunrise at the eastward flow of the river, watch the sunrise at the high mountains and mountains, and watch the sunrise at the end of the cape, all have different scenery. Besides, there is not no one on the ship, this ship does not stop at night, even if the guests are resting, there are also boatmen and sailors, and Yue Gongzi is also a romantic gentleman, when I went to see the sunrise, he was also on the deck. ”

Yang Ning frowned slightly, wiped a few handfuls of his face, threw the towel into the copper basin, although the expression on his face was indifferent, but there was a wisp of bitterness in his heart, Qingping suddenly didn't realize it, pulled Yang Ning to his side, took out the tooth comb beside him, skillfully pulled his hair into a bun for Yang Ning, and said while combing his mouth: "Yue Gongzi also said that although it is good to watch the sunrise on the river, it is not as majestic as watching the sunrise on the sea, and said that if we have the opportunity to go to Changshu, he will invite us to the Yue family's courtyard by the sea to see the sunrise." ”

Yang Ning became more and more depressed when he heard this, his mind turned, and he inadvertently remembered that he had heard a conversation between Shizun and his mother in the past, and said with a little ostentation: " There is nothing unusual to see the sunrise by the sea, and it is not only Changshu can be seen, I heard the master say, he once watched the sunrise on the middle section of the Poling in the eastern valley of Lushan Mountain, where you can not only see the whole picture of Poyang Lake, but also can look at the river from afar, the vast line, such a unique scenery, the world is unique, and the style of Lushan is wonderful, in addition to the sunrise, there are countless beautiful scenery to enjoy, but it is a pity that we are in a hurry to go to Liyang, otherwise we will go from Jiujiang to Lushan to visit how good. ”

Qingping was tidying up Yang Ning's clothes at this time, and when she heard these words, her subordinates couldn't help but relax, and her beautiful eyes showed a look of yearning, and she said longingly: "Okay, in the future, when I pick up my sister, the three of us will go to Lushan to watch the sunrise together, my sister will play the piano, and I will do the sword dance, as for Zijing, do you like the flute or the flute, I can teach you, otherwise you can only watch from the side." ”

Yang Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this, he just said those words just to attract Qingping's attention, but he didn't expect Qingping to say this, thinking that if it was really as Qingping said, he could go to Lushan to watch the sunrise with Lu Qi and Qingping, that kind of happiness must be indescribable, but thinking that Qingping wanted to teach him to play the flute and flute, he hesitated. Qingping seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "If you want to play the flute, it is nothing more than a long pulse and dexterous fingers, your internal skills are so exquisite, and the ten fingers are even more flexible, is it not easy to learn a little fur, although I am not as proficient in music as my sister, but whether it is the zheng, the drums, the sheng pipe, and the flute, I also know a little bit about it, and it is not easy to teach you, I want you to choose the flute, but because these two are easier to learn, I don't know which one you like?"

What Qingping said is not a lie, she and Lu Qi are worshipping under Mr. Qingjue, Mr. Qingjue Du Qingjue is proficient in music, and the two of them are naturally Keshao Qiqiu on this, but Lu Qi is single-minded, in addition to the guqin, other musical instruments only know a little reason, and do not learn, Qingping is a temperament jumpy, no matter what musical instrument is used to learn for a while, and after being proficient, he will abandon it, but it is like a dragonfly in water, Bo but not proficient, even if Yang Ning learns musical instruments with her, the purpose is just to learn one or two tunes, and it is naturally easy to teach Yang Ning with her ability.

Before Yang Ning could make up his mind, there was the footsteps of two people in his ears, one walked briskly, but it was quite heavy, obviously he had not practiced martial arts, and the other person jumped out of his steps, landing briskly, obviously having some internal strength, Yang Ning frowned slightly, he had already heard the footsteps of a person, so he did not answer Qingping's question, Qingping also heard the sound of someone walking, and it was obviously walking towards his cabin, and he didn't ask anymore, just turned his head to look at the cabin, and sure enough, there was a knock in the ears of the two at the same time.

Yang Ning stepped forward to open the door, and saw Yue Zhongqing's handsome and elegant face at a glance, so he said coldly: "It turned out to be Yue Gongzi, don't you know what happened so early?" His tone was obviously rejected, and anyone could hear it, let alone a smart person like Yue Zhongqing, but he was only slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Little Brother Xu, can you rest last night? It's not a big deal, it's just that you can get to Peng Ze in a while." Our boat will stay in Pengze until the afternoon, Miss Xu must still be a little uncomfortable, but Brother Xu can just go ashore to make up the paperwork, our Yue's boat company has a branch in Pengze, where the shopkeeper is the cousin, who is the most shrewd and capable, it is easy to make up two documents, just as the two are on the boat in Pengze. ”

Yang Ning originally thought about how not to let Qingping talk to Yue Zhongqing, so he would take the initiative to speak, but he didn't expect Yue Zhongqing to say such a thing, even with his cold-hearted coldness, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he didn't have much experience in interacting with people, and he couldn't speak for a while, but Qingping came over with a smile, pulled him aside, and saluted Yue Zhongqing: "Thank you Gongzi for coming to remind our sister and brother, this matter is still a little girl, let's go, my brother can't speak, if you offend people, it's not good." ”

Before Yue Zhongqing could speak, the junior who followed him leaked a head at the door and said: "Miss Xu, don't worry, such a small thing, even my junior can do it, although Xu Gongzi is young, a few years older than my junior, can't this little thing be done?" Jianmen is too white', and there is also the Yangtze Jiangnan Zero Water taken by the son when the son came, famous tea and water, just to be able to taste tea and talk about his heart, isn't it better than dealing with those officials. ”

Yang Ning hasn't finished listening, his eyes are as cold as ice and snow, although he doesn't know how to be sophisticated, but he can't see that the elf's eccentric Xiao San has the intention to provoke himself to go ashore alone, so that Yue Zhongqing and Qingping can be alone, although this was originally his most reluctant thing, but in any case, he is just a teenager, Xiao San's words are like steel needles pierced in his heart, can't he do such a trivial thing, but also labor Qingping to go ashore in person, after his temperament was aroused, Yang Ning also had to wish Yue Zhongqing to get close to Qingping's original intention, and raised his voice"Sister, let me go. ”

Although Qingping also understands what Xiao San means, she thinks that she has come home with the disguise technique, even if the two talks last night and this morning are quite fateful, Yue Zhongqing will not take a fancy to a mediocre woman, so it is only that Yue Zhongqing is really warm and thoughtful, and has the heart to help her reverse Zijing's temperament, so she did not refuse, and after a little thought, she smiled and said: "That's good, you just go with Xiao San, don't delay too long, get the paperwork and come back quickly, don't make trouble, my mother is still waiting for us at home?" You can't afford to delay it for too long. ”

Yang Ning naturally understood what she meant, knowing that Qingping was telling herself not to cause trouble, so as to delay the trip to Liyang, as for the safety of the two of them, no one had worried, Yang Ning needless to say, if he really met the opponent, he was afraid that it was not Yang Ning who needed to be worried, but the person who met him, and although Qingping's martial arts were not outstanding, but being able to fight with Yan Zishuang was enough to dominate the world, and there would be no trouble in a short period of time. So after Yang Ning hurriedly said goodbye to Qingping, he followed Xiao San out of the cabin.

After the footsteps of the two disappeared, Yue Zhongqing said abruptly: "Miss Xu, it's all a little girl's nonsense, this child has been by my side since he was a child, I am used to conniving him, and I don't wait for me to speak, just interject indiscriminately, if Miss Xu can't rest assured, let's follow." ”

Qingping raised her hand to comb the messy hair on her sideburns, and said with a smile: "Yue Gongzi is serious, in fact, think about it carefully, Xiao San's words are not unreasonable, my brother rarely went out in the past, every day except for practicing martial arts is in a daze, and I don't understand the world at all, this time I go out, I, who is a sister, always spoil him, like this, I'm afraid that the days are long, and it's not easy to make him self-reliant, now he is willing to take the initiative to do things, and there is a smart child like Xiaosan to accompany him, it will be fine." ”

Yue Zhongqing saw that Qingping didn't mean to blame, her heart was relieved, and she said gently: "Miss Xu, the boat is about to dock, why don't we go and sit in the cabin for a while, and wait for Brother Ling to come back while enjoying tea and chess, which is also a quick event." Qingping also had a good impression of Yue Zhongqing, and nodded with a smile at the moment, without any cowardice. Looking at Qingping's down-to-earth and generous demeanor, Yue Zhongqing only felt infinite joy in his heart, although he was talented, but he was not a romantic person, he had always been quite strict in self-discipline, he had never had a beloved woman, and he never thought of meeting this He girl by chance, although her appearance was ordinary, but her speech and demeanor were appropriate, and she inadvertently showed a moving demeanor, which made this young man who has always been clean and self-loving have affection in his heart. Xiao San saw his thoughts, so he tried to transfer Yang Ning and give the two of them a chance to be alone, although Yue Zhongqing didn't know in advance, but he didn't stop it when it came to the end, and now that his wish has been fulfilled, he is really overjoyed. His eyes had been fixed on Qingping, and he was about to turn around and invite Qingping out at this moment, but his eyes were slightly stunned.

At this time, the sunlight from Dongsheng happened to shine obliquely through the window, reflecting on Qingping's face, although Qingping changed her appearance, but it only changed the color of her skin, and then slightly modified her facial features with drugs, giving people a wrong impression, not a complete makeover. But under the bright and dazzling sun, the facial contours that had not bothered to hide were exquisite, and her mind was in a trance, Yue Zhongqing only felt that Qingping's facial features were as beautiful as mountains and rivers, and her posture of stretching out her hand and gently curling her sideburns was even more moving, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a shocked look. The change in his eyes fell on Qingping's eyes, Qingping's heart froze, and then pretended to unintentionally bow his head slightly, raising his eyebrows and lowering his head, Yue Zhongqing looked carefully again, but found that Qingping's appearance was still mediocre. Just as he was dazzled for a while, Yue Zhongqing couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself, originally he was just moved by the character and talent of this Miss Xu, but he didn't expect her to have a flower-like appearance, which is probably the true portrayal of Confucius's so-called "I haven't seen good virtue like a womanizer".

The two of them walked down the gangway, and in a short time they had reached the lowest cabin, among which there was a rather large cabin, which was the size of two cabins, and on one side of the back wall was a large boxwood bed, the bedding was neatly folded, and a copper lamp was fixed on the bulkhead at the head of the bed, which if filled with lamp oil was enough to light it for a night. On the other side of the cabin, there were two waist-high cabinets, both tightly fastened to the bulkheads, and the doors were locked, and I don't know what was inside. Between the bed and the cabinet is a space of two or three zhang in a square circle, the deck is wiped so that it can almost shine a human figure, there is a thick jute mat in the middle, and a low square table is placed in the middle of the mat, which can sit three or four people, and there are several splendid futons scattered around, and in front of the square table are two windows, the portholes are open, and the surging river can be seen at a glance, and under the window at this moment there is a set of tea sets and sealed jugs. This cabin is occupied by Steward Zhan, who has traveled between Changshu and Jiujiang for many years, and has lived on the ship most of the time, so he occupies such a cabin, in addition to living, it is also the place where to handle affairs and entertain guests, and there are often some valuables in the cabinet, so it is spacious and sturdy, elegant and tidy. It's Yue Zhongqing, if it weren't for giving up the cabin to Yang Ning and Qingping, he wouldn't have gone to this cabin to lay on the floor.

Qingping saw a white jade box placed on the square table at a glance, her heart moved, and she hurriedly stepped forward to open the box, only to see a little milky white tea in the box, the amount was not more than ** points, it looked less than one or two, like a white jade lotus, the fragrance was overflowing, Qingping couldn't help but smile and said: "Sure enough, it is the best sword gate is too white, this tea is the same price as gold and white jade, it can be said that it is difficult to find a thousand gold, I didn't expect that there are so many people here in Yue Gongzi." ”

Yue Zhongqing picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of tea and said: "Jianmen Taibai is a famous tea refined from the new milk leaves of the Yushan white-leaf tea tree, and it is only seven or eight catties a year, which is indeed very rare, but now this Jianmen Taibai is controlled in the hands of the Jiang family in Changshu, in addition to the tea paid every year, it can also leave about a catty, the Jiang family and the Yue family have been in-laws for generations, so the father can also get three taels of tea, and the father will give one or two tea leaves every year." It's just that this tea is too precious, if I don't meet a good friend, I will never take it out and share it with others, Miss Xu is a person who knows the goods at a glance, and she must be able to appreciate the excellent flavor of this tea. ”

Qingping's eyes lit up, and she said in her heart, Zijing originally brought one or two Pu'er teas given to me and my sister by His Royal Highness the King of Dian, but unfortunately it was lost on the boat of Youji, every time I think of it, I feel heartbroken, I can't imagine that today I have the opportunity to cook the best of this Yushan green tea by myself, Zijing, don't blame me for not waiting for you, such a good tea, I really can't bear to cook it again when you come back. Thinking of this, Qingping smiled and said: "This tea is so precious, if it is not a person who is proficient in tea art, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing, presumably the son must be a master of the tea ceremony, but the little woman also knows a little bit about it, why don't you let me be ugly today?"

Yue Zhongqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, listening to the tone of this Miss Xu, he already knew that he must also be a master of the tea ceremony, and he had a heart of admiration, let alone stop it in this situation, so he didn't say much, and arched his hand: "Then I will wait to teach the girl's tea art today." ”

Qingping nodded happily, rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of snow-like wrists, Yue Zhongqing's eyes moved slightly when she saw it, her eyes swept over the skin on Qingping's wrists and face, and doubts arose again in her heart, but he was open-minded by nature, and his heart said, even though this Miss Xu's identity is really a little hindered, but seeing her speech and demeanor, she has lost her graceful bearing, although she is a little free and easy, but it is by no means a first-class thief, so it seems that he has not seen it, but he just appreciates Qingping's tea art.

Qingping went to the window and lit the stove, poured the water in the jar into the water pan, put it on the stove to heat, and praised it: "This must be the silver silk charcoal used by the queen, although it is not as fragrant as pine charcoal, but it is also very good for cooking tea." ”

Yue Zhongqing said with a smile: "This is just a moment, although this silver silk charcoal is good, but after all, it is contaminated with too much wealth, I often use plum charcoal to cook tea at home, and it is made of dried plum trees, even if it is ordinary tea, the tea soup cooked is also with plum fragrance, but this charcoal is rare, this time I didn't bring it." ”

Qingping put the delicate purple sand tea set on the case, and said with a smile: "Plum blossoms are charcoal, presumably it must be a unique flavor, if there is a chance in the future, you should also give it a try, Jianmen Taibai is the best green tea, the most suitable for brewing, silver silk charcoal is enough." ”

Not long after the water has been boiling like a fish bubble, the white gas rises, Qingping does not use a hand towel, reach out to lift the hot water pan, pour the boiling water in the bell into the purple clay pot, pour the water into the tea boat after pouring, and then put the tea leaves into the pot with silver chopsticks, and then inject the boiling water into the pot again, for a time the tea fragrance overflows, Qingping covers the pot, pours the boiling water from the lid of the pot, and warms the cup with boiling water for both teacups, and then puts the tea stall back on the stove. This string of movements is skillful and smooth, and there is a rhythm in the gestures, and there are no superfluous movements, Yue Zhongqing can't help but feel broken.

Although the great work is about to be completed, but Qingping eyebrows are a little more cautious, lift the teapot, on the tea boat along the edge of the retrograde a few circles, this is the so-called "Guan Gong patrol city" in the tea ceremony, is to remove the water droplets at the bottom of the pot, and then pour two cups of fragrant tea in a precious and heavy place, the tea soup is yellow and green, the leaves are like jade floating and sinking, and it is faintly full of osmanthus fragrance. Yue Zhongqing took the teacup, swallowed all the hot tea into his stomach in one gulp, and sighed: "Miss Xu's tea skills are outstanding, and after the girl's cooking, she can be regarded as not living up to the famous tea. ”

Qingping smiled faintly and said: "Yue Gongzi is serious, if Gongzi is still a crane burner, I am afraid that the little girl will be a vassal and elegant." This Jianmen Taibai is said to be brewed many times, the aroma does not change, the stronger the tea soup, the better the second cup must be. Saying that, he got up to see if the water in the bell was boiling again, Yue Zhongqing's eyes fell on her slender and graceful back, and it became a little softer, although he was not a romantic person, but he had also seen many famous ladies, those women were all gentle and beautiful women, but these women were not as impressive as the girl Xu in front of him. Although he has never said his life experience so far, and even his name has not been told, but that kind of calm and elegant demeanor and temperament is obviously from a good background, coupled with the free and easy temperament between the eyebrows, it is even more heartbreaking, in comparison, the slightly mediocre appearance is irrelevant, for such a woman, how to cherish it is not surprising, Yue Zhongqing's heart turned a thousand times, and finally made up his mind.

Qingping repeated the process of making tea, poured two cups of fragrant tea again, and then turned around and sat down. Yue Zhongqing took the teacup, but he was not in a hurry to taste it, but smiled and said: "The girl sang last night, and she has the law to exhale and speak, and she is obviously also a person who is proficient in music and rhythm.

Qingping laughed loudly when she heard this: "There is no qin flute, so what's the matter, in the past, when Cao Zijian was drunk and hot, he could hit the stone and compose a song, and the son must not be so stubborn, right?"

Yue Zhongqing said with a smile in his eyes: "What the girl said is that you can also have fun hitting stones and singing." After saying that, he swept his eyes, picked up a silver chopstick placed on the jade box of tea, and gently tapped the teacup in front of him a few times. The phoenix is fluttering, seeking the phoenix from all over the world, and the helpless beauty is not in the east wall. Zhang Xian spoke on behalf of me, wanting to complain from the bottom of my heart, when to see Xu Xi, comfort me for hesitation. This is the "Phoenix Wooing" in which Sima Xiangru expressed his affection to Zhuo Wenjun in the past, and it is naturally appropriate to use it to express the meaning of the marriage proposal.

Qingping originally held a teacup in her hand and listened to Yue Zhongqing sing with relish, but after only listening to two sentences, her expression had changed drastically, and a pair of eyes were deposited. Yue Zhongqing is not a debauched person after all, and it is quite embarrassing to ask for marriage in person, so when he spoke, his eyes were lowered, and he did not notice the strangeness of Qingping's expression. Meeting is fate, although Yue is reckless, he can be regarded as a thin and wealthy person, and he must be able to match the girl. It's just that there is a desire to ask for a phoenix, but I don't know if Qin Xin intends to promise, so I have to take the liberty to speak, if the girl agrees, I will treat each other as a confidant for the rest of my life, raise my eyebrows, and the white head can be expected, I don't know what the girl wants?"

Qingping's expression changed drastically when she heard this, although Yue Zhongqing was gentle and polite to him, and even showed affection between her expressions, but she never expected this situation, if the object of the marriage proposal was another woman, she would still admire Yue Zhongqing's straightforwardness, but after changing herself, she was annoyed in her heart for no reason, and she was about to refuse. Now she and Yang Ning are going to take this boat to Liyang, and although the two of them do not have the identity of Qin criminals in name, once their whereabouts are known, I am afraid that it will be endless trouble, that is, no one dares to provoke Yang Ning openly, and they will secretly monitor, which will definitely affect the itinerary. And the identity of the two is not flawless, Yue Zhongqing, who helped the two to obtain the documents, only needs to interrogate a few words, and most of them can find the flaws, even if he can threaten him with force not to expose it openly, but as long as he leaks it out after the two people disappear, it will also cause a storm. And if she wants to make up her mind to kill people before getting out at this moment, this kind of thing can't be done, so the best way to deal with it is to be vague now, and when the two of them leave the ship, the marriage proposal will naturally be over.

Thousands of thoughts flashed, Qingping's eyes flashed with arrogance, she is not an ordinary woman after all, it is not her choice to be involved, and although she has a good impression of Yue Zhongqing, but she will not be wronged by her mind and his vain, slowly put down the teacup, and said coldly: "Yue Gongzi treats each other as a confidant, the little woman is fortunate to be like this, just the posture of Pu Liu, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, although there is a fate to meet, but the fate is scattered, but it is just a passing cloud, and the son still looks good." I just don't hear these reckless words, my brother has a bad temper, if you hear it, you will be offended, and please be cautious. With that, he got up and brushed his sleeves away.

Yue Zhongqing couldn't imagine that Qingping, who was still smiling and smiling, would be so angry when she heard her marriage proposal, as if cold water had been poured down, and she suddenly felt cold in her heart. Reflecting on and recalling Fang Cai's words are too abrupt, but no matter how you think about it, then there is only the reason why Miss Xu doesn't like herself, but when she thinks of the tacit understanding and harmony between the two when they get along, there is nothing unusual, and with her own talent, can't she even get her heart? Suddenly, Yue Zhongqing thought of the key, couldn't help but scream, and slapped his backhand on his forehead, how could he forget that Miss Xu's trip was to go home to visit her seriously ill mother, and at such a time, she could force a smile on her face as a benefactor on the journey, but how could she talk about marriage? Thinking of this, a ray of hope was born in my heart again. If they send their sisters and brothers home, and wait until the right time to formally propose, presumably with the Yue family's family background and their own character and talent, Miss Xu's parents will not disagree.

However, the most important thing at hand is to solve the current problem, that is, to ask Miss Xu for guilt, but although this kind of face-to-face proposal is abrupt and reckless, it is his sincerity, but he does not want to admit his mistake seriously, think about it, or turn around through the middleman, by the way, he will express his mind tactfully again, and this middleman is naturally the most suitable Xu Qing who was stimulated by his own scholar Xiaosan, if you want to achieve the mandarin dream, the brother-in-law can't help but please. Thinking of this, Yue Zhongqing finally smiled, and quickly thought of countless ways to please the lonely young man.
