The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 147 Swimming in the lake, counting the famous chapter
Chapter 147 Swimming in the Lake, Counting Famous Festivals
In the few days when Yun Shen was sent away, Yun Xi was really not used to it, so she simply found more things for herself to do.
For example, practicing calligraphy and reading books... Most of the books she chose were about etiquette and common sense.She didn't want to embarrass him when she was with Yun Shen in the future.
I read books every day, do calculations, and occasionally go to Zhuangzi to teach everyone. I live a very leisurely life.Of course, Yun Xi's martial arts did not drop, and the time for daily martial arts practice increased a little.
In mid-June, Yun Xi suddenly received an invitation card, and the person who posted it was actually Shen Ruhua.
Shen Ruhua invited her to come to her home to participate in the poetry tasting at the end of June.
Yun Xi rubbed her chin, her gaze fell on the address mentioned in the post, and she couldn't help but freeze.This address is actually in Fenghuang County.
She asked someone to inquire about the address, and Lai San sent the information in less than half a day.
Sure enough, the Shen family was still implicated by the Hu family, digging out some past events of accepting bribes, Shen Ruhua's father could only be with her uncle.In addition, the Shen and Hu families are now in the state capital where people scold them. After discussing with each other, the two families decided to temporarily move out of the state capital to avoid the limelight.
Part of the reason for this is because of the Daughter League.The starting point of Daughter's League is good, and the parents of the members in it don't forget to bring up this matter from time to time to make a good name for their daughters.In contrast, the Shen family and the Hu family and other families involved in this case were used as a stepping stone, talking about it from time to time.
Originally, Shen Ruhua also made an appointment for a marriage. The other party is the son of a fifth-rank official and a juren. It is said that he is a rare good man who is clean and self-disciplined.It's just that since the Shen family's reputation has been ruined, that family has dissolved the marriage on the grounds that they don't cooperate with each other.
The addition of this series of events will undoubtedly make things worse for these two families.
Unable to stay in the state capital, he can only choose to move.I don't know what they thought, but they moved to Fenghuang County.
Yun Xi put away the post and wrote a receipt, expressing that she was not feeling well today, and the heat was in full swing, so it was hard for her to go out.
Speaking of which, she felt a little tired. In fact, the attitude of the Du family was quite obvious, and they didn't want to continue walking with the Shen family, but the Shen family didn't seem to see their refusal attitude.
After sending out the receipt, she did not forget to tell Du Zhou about it.
Mrs. Du Zhou was also surprised when she heard that Shen and Hu's family had moved to Fenghuang County, but she was much more optimistic, "I think both of them are people who are used to the prosperity of the state capital, but they may not be used to living in Fenghuang County. County, maybe I will leave after staying for a while."
Yun Xi shook her head, "That's not necessarily the case. I've heard that the two families spent more than 1000 taels to buy a good house with three entrances."
For the two families now, this money is not something that can be ignored at will. If they are not sure that they want to settle down, they can just rent a house directly.
Speaking of it, although this incident was quite a big deal in the state capital at the time, because Fenghuang County is a distance away from there, and because everyone has never seen the jugglers with their own eyes, such things as abduction and trafficking are commonplace. People in Fenghuang County discussed it for a day or two at most, and then dropped their hands.
These ordinary people don't even pay attention to which officials have been sacked because of this incident.
After discussion, the Du family made a decision.On the bright side, they will not directly tear their skins open with the members of the Shen family and the Hu family, after all, such words are too ugly.But there will be no extra contact, just treat it as a stranger.
Although the retired Shen Ruhua was pitiful, and although the girl from the Hu family who had been reduced from an official lady to a commoner girl was admirable, but thinking of those people she had seen before, Yun Xi couldn't feel much sympathy for them.No matter how poor they are, they still eat well and wear warm clothes, and they are still young ladies who are served by others, but what about those people?If they hadn't met Yun Xi and the others, their lives would have been ruined like this.
Perhaps because they were worried that their old accounts would be uncovered if they were too high-profile, the settlement of the Shen family and the Hu family in Fenghuang County was very low-key, they didn't even set up wine, and the doors were closed on weekdays.
Seeing that they seemed to have plans to live in peace and contentment, Yun Xi only sent one or two people to keep an eye on the movements of the two of them, and dropped the rest.
……
Although Yun Xi rejected Shen Ruhua's post, but if the good sister wants to hold a flower viewing feast, she will definitely save face.
On June 3000th, Tang Shurong invited Yun Xi and Yun Yao to play.Recently, an in-law of the Tang family was doing business. Tang Shurong's mother, Mrs. Tang, also took part in a share, and it is said that she made a fortune. In the past year, she also made two to three thousand taels.Mrs. Tang used the money to buy a small Zhuangzi, where Tang Shurong's flower viewing banquet was held.
I heard that there is a big lake behind Zhuangzi, and the lotus in the lake is in full bloom, which is a good time to enjoy the flowers.
Tang Shurong's marriage has been settled, and in a few months, he will stay at home and sew a wedding dress for himself, and there will not be much time to relax in the future.Perhaps it was for this reason that she invited all her friends to have fun for a day or two before then.
Yun Xi would definitely not refuse her friend's invitation, and since she had nothing to do in those two days, she wrote back directly, expressing that she would bring Yun Yao there when the time came.
Rafting on the lake in summer is quite interesting to think about.
Because they were going out, both Yun Xi and Yun Yao changed into lighter clothes, and simply put a jade hairpin on their heads.What Yunxi wore was in the style of a hosta flower, while Yunyao was wearing an impatiens flower.
The two of them had a sky-blue dress and the other a blue-green dress, and they both looked fresh and pretty.
Yun Xi looked at Yun Yao beside her, stretched out her hand to measure it, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, I have grown a lot taller this year."
When Yun Yao heard this, her nose turned up with pride, "Of course. It's not in vain for me to drink milk every day."
Originally, Yunyao was shorter than Yunxi by at least one head, and she looked childish, but in the past year, her facial features have gradually grown, and she has the appearance of a girlish girl, but her chest is still flat.After hearing Yun Xi say that drinking milk every day can help you grow taller, she began to drink a bottle of milk every day.
For this reason, Mrs. Du bought a new cow, and Momoo had a lot of complaints about it. It took Yun Xi a lot of effort to coax him.
Although the Du family could afford a carriage now, Yun Xi and the others were still used to letting Momoo drive when they were away from home.According to Yunyao, Momoo is good at driving, and he never drives bumpy.
The Tang family's Zhuangzi is not too far from the city, and it takes only half an hour to arrive by bullock cart.
Although it is the hottest June, perhaps because of the lush greenery around here, the heat is somewhat relieved by the green screen.
Yun Xi came neither early nor late, when she arrived, many girls had already arrived.Some of them are her good friends.
She got off the bullock cart, took Yun Yao's hand, entered the Zhuangzi, and greeted Kang Ya'er, Tian Ruhui, Wang Qiantong and others with a smile.
Kang Yaer specially thanked her for the ice cubes she sent a few days ago.At that time, she was so hot that she suffered from heatstroke. After Yun Xi heard about it, because she had a good relationship with Kang Ya'er, she specially sent her a cart full of ice cubes.
Some girls also joined their chat team.
As for Tang Shurong, after greeting Yun Xi at first, he was busy receiving other guests.Although she has a good relationship with Yunxi Yunyao, as a guest, it's not good to treat one more favorably than another.
Yun Xi looked at Shurong gliding through the crowd like a little butterfly, and couldn't help but said, "I seem to have lost a lot of weight today after reading the book." The original apple face was almost thinner into an oval face.
Tang Shurong's cousin, Li Meng, nodded vigorously. As her name suggests, Li Meng has a round face and looks very pleasing, somewhat similar to Tang Shurong. "My cousin has recently started to lose weight."
Kang Ya'er frowned and said, "I'm already good at reading, why do I have to lose weight?" It's so cute.
Li Meng looked around and saw that all of them were cousin's best friends, so she was dissatisfied: "I heard that my cousin's fiancé likes slender women."
Everyone fell silent. Seeing their expressions, Yun Xi seemed to think that Tang Shurong's actions were quite normal.
She sighed slightly in her heart, if it was her, she would be impatient and go to wrong herself in order to please a man.Tang Shurong's parents also love her very much. I heard that his fiancé is also the son of a juren, he has achieved fame at a young age, and his parents are also sensible people. From the perspective of people of this era, this marriage is quite good.
Seeing the angry silence, Li Meng quickly changed the subject, "By the way, when everyone is here, we can go swimming in the lake and pick lotus pods to eat. I will pick some lotus seeds and let the kitchen make lotus seeds." soup."
Everyone followed this topic and talked about playing at the door. According to Li Meng's intention, there are other fun things to do tomorrow.When she talked about having fun, she looked very excited.No wonder Tang Shurong has the best relationship with her among the cousins, because they have similar temperaments.
Tang Shurong invited quite a few people this time, and Yun Xi saw quite a few strange faces.There are so many girls in Fenghuang County, it is impossible for her to know everyone.
She counted, there were about twenty people.A group of girls gathered together, singing birds and swallows, and the air was full of joy.
Tang Shurong pulled the two girls, walked in front of Yun Xi and the others, and said with a smile, "Yun Xi, this is a new friend I met recently. This is Shen Ruhua, sister Shen. This is sister Hu Qin, sister Shen's cousin."
Shen Ruhua is only two months younger than Yun Xi, with a handsome appearance and looks generous.Hu Qin's appearance is more beautiful, with a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows and eyes, obviously spoiled.
Shen Ruhua said in a soft voice: "Originally, I invited sister Du's family to come to the banquet, but it's a pity that sister Du's body was not happy at that time, and I couldn't get to know someone as good-looking as my sister. I was very sorry at that time. Unexpectedly The younger sister of the Tang family gave me this chance."
As for Hu Qin, she seemed a little hostile towards Yun Xi.
Judging from what he said and how he acted, Shen Ruhua, like her mother, was a well-rounded person.
Tang Shurong smiled in surprise, "It turns out that the two of you have been friends for a long time."
Yun Xi was a little speechless: Shu Rong, this silly elder sister!It was simply used by Shen Ruhua, okay?
After thinking about it, she felt that maybe she was thinking too much.She wasn't considered to be a character on a special brand, so Shen Ruhua didn't have that need to hang on to her.Maybe he really just met Tang Shurong by chance and was invited by her.
She hooked her lips and smiled slightly, without saying a word.In front of people, she is not good at speaking ill of people.
Hu Qin let out a cold snort from his nose, with hostility in his words, "She is a noble county lord, a commoner girl like us, how can we have the right to know her."
Yun Xi smiled slightly, the smile was still sweet and moving, it seemed harmless, but it implied sharpness, "I was just lucky enough to get the title of county lord, and I was just a country girl before. How can it compare to the Hu family's younger sister who is the official daughter , Father still passes the sentence."
She is not a soft persimmon, if you want to get angry with her, don't blame her for exposing her family's affairs.
The other girls didn't understand, so one of them simply asked: "Hey, if that's the case, why does sister Hu say she's a commoner girl?"
Hu Qin's face was flushed, and in the public, could she say that her father is now imprisoned because of collaborating with abductors, and his future is uncertain?Although the official position of the general judge is still there, it is also because it takes time for the book to reach the hands of the emperor.The dismissal of officials is up to the emperor.
Faced with the doubtful eyes cast by many people, Hu Qin couldn't help throwing a help-seeking look to his cousin.
Although Shen Ruhua forced a gentle smile on her face, she scolded this cousin a thousand times in her heart for not doing enough to accomplish anything.If it wasn't for her uncle, how could her father's affairs be found out.Who doesn't accept some filial piety as an official these days?But only her father was exposed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was implicated by her uncle.
My cousin is also stupid. At this time, I don't want to get to know more people, but because of the resentment in my heart, I rush to offend them.It is impossible to say that Shen Ruhua has no grievances towards Yun Xi.If it wasn't for Du Yunxi and Dai Yanling's unnecessary actions, this matter would not have been exposed, and she would have been implicated even more.She posted the post again and again, but Yun Xi looked down on her and never responded.Just thinking of her mother, she finally suppressed the resentment in her heart.Instead, according to her mother's wishes, she tried every means to get acquainted with Du Yunxi and tried her best to win her favor.
You must know that the Su family stood behind Du Yunxi. At that time, many people in the court only agreed to canonize her as the township lord, and opposed to leapfrogging to become the county lord. However, because the emperor's uncle was there to support her, she became the county lord smoothly. .If her elder brother marries Du Yunxi, not only will there be a generous dowry to relieve the Shen family's plight, but it will also be able to climb up the Su family.
The reason why her cousin Qin'er has such a big opinion of Du Yunxi is somewhat clear to her.On the one hand, it was because of her father's bleak future that she blamed Du Yunxi for her anger.On the other hand, it was because Qin'er had always liked her brother, but her mother felt that her cousin's temperament was really not suitable for marrying, so she didn't agree.
She gave Hu Qin a warning look, then smiled and said to everyone: "My sister was spoiled by my aunt and the others, so she has a bit of a temper. She used to be praised for her good looks when she was with us, but now she is Sister Du was outcompeted, that's why she was sulking."
Yun Xi had to admit that this Shen Ruhua was indeed a smart person.When she said this, everyone thought that the dispute between Hu Qin and her was just due to their appearance, and they would not pursue the reason behind it.
The most embarrassing person present was Tang Shurong. No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Yun Xi was at odds with her two new friends, and she also had a faint doubt in her heart: In her impression, Yun Xi had always had a good personality , and rarely discord with others.
Because of being closer to Yun Xi, Tang Shurong naturally felt that there must be something wrong with his new friend. Looking at Hu Qin's arrogant appearance, he knew that the fault must be on her.
She cast an apologetic look at Yun Xi, and then led Hu Qin and Shen Ruhua to meet her other friends.
Kang Ya'er looked at the backs of the two of them, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "The Hu family has acted like that, and the girls of his family are too embarrassed to seek you out."
From what Kang Ya'er meant, she was aware of what happened in the state capital.
It's normal when you think about it, her father is the county magistrate, so he would tell her about it, Yun Xi smiled and didn't say anything.
After everyone came together, Tang Shurong led everyone to the lakeside.The area of this lake is really not small. It is said that the end of the lake is connected to the Nayang River.At a glance, the lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun.
The prestige gently brushed over everyone's faces, bringing the faint fragrance of lotus.
Looking at such beautiful scenery, people's mood has improved a lot unconsciously.
Everyone even laughed and said, "If I knew the scenery here is so good, I should have asked my parents to buy some fields near here and build a village, so that I can come here in summer and relax."
Tang Shurong cocked his nose proudly, obviously thinking that it was very wise for her mother to buy this Zhuangzi.
There were a dozen or so stone tables by the lake, and everyone sat down in twos and threes.The servants of the Tang family also brought summer fruits.
Yun Xi took a peach and took a bite, this peach was very sweet, it was full of juice after biting.
In addition to fruits, some snacks are also placed.
Some naughty girls even lifted their skirts, walked to the river, picked a big lotus leaf for themselves, and used it as a hat to wear.
After everyone ate some fruits, Tian Ruhui looked at Tang Shurong, "Shurong, you invited us to come and play for two days, isn't it just to see the lotus? No matter how beautiful the lotus is, we can't see it for two days."
It's almost enough to enjoy it for a day.
Tang Shurong smiled and said: "Of course not." She led everyone directly along the path paved with cobblestones to the other side of the lake.
Yun Xi saw a large boat parked by the lake, it had about two floors and could accommodate five to sixty people.
Tang Shurong smiled, "This boat is my birthday present from my uncle." The uncle she was talking about should be the one who made a lot of money in business in recent years, and also Li Meng's cousin.
Many girls looked at the boat with joy, and then boarded the boat with their skirts. There were several crew members on board, and there were also several servant girls from the Tang family.According to Tang Shurong, these maids can swim, even if they accidentally fall into the water, it doesn't matter, there are spare clothes on the boat anyway.
As soon as she said this, a group of people twisted her cheeks and told her to curse herself for nothing.
Tang Shurong also put his heart into this gathering. There are also fishing rods on the boat, so those who want to fish can enjoy the fun of fishing.
However, people seem to be more interested in picking lotus pods than fishing.
Pick off the lotus pod, take out the lotus seeds inside, put it in your mouth, it is sweet and delicious.Tang Shurong also specially invited a lotus picking girl on board, she was in charge of peeling the lotus seeds, and let these pampered girls on the boat go to the lotus heart by themselves, they are really not skilled in peeling lotus seeds.
Yun Yao watched the little girl skillfully pick Lian Xin without blinking her eyes, and her movements were fast.After a while, it peeled off a lot.She kept the lotus heart, obviously she wanted to send it to the pharmacy to sell it to supplement the family.
Even if she peeled it for an hour, the lotus seeds she could earn would be a few tens of coins at most, but the little girl still peeled them seriously.
After she peeled it for more than half an hour, everyone had almost eaten the lotus seeds.
The Tang family gave her money in advance, and the little girl picking lotus put away the lotus seed heart.
Yun Xi thanked her with a smile.
The clothes on the little girl's body were half-new and not old, but it could be seen that they were her best clothes.Probably because of too much exposure to the sun, her skin is a little dark, and she looks a little innocent when she smiles.
After being thanked by Yun Xi, her face blushed slightly, and she repeatedly waved her hands to show that it was nothing.
Seeing that she was about the same age as her, Yunyao had to come out to earn money to support her family, unconsciously recalling her past life, and gave her a piece of silver as a thank you.Although she can give more, if she gives too much, it will easily bring disaster to the lotus picker.
After eating the lotus seeds, the boat drove slowly on the lake, sparkling, and the sun fell on the lake, as if countless fine gold was sprinkled.
Shen Ruhua suddenly said: "It's not interesting just to go boating on the lake, why don't we go to the Yang River and have a look."
As soon as her proposal came out, many girls were eager to follow suit, obviously thinking that this idea was not a bad idea.
Under the booing of those lively girls, everyone decided to continue the boat.
Yun Xi frowned unconsciously, she always felt that Shen Ruhua's proposal... was unlikely to be aimless.The other party doesn't seem like someone who would do such a meaningless act.
When they were on the boat, Shen Ruhua also kept expressing that he wanted to befriend her, but Yun Xi was always lukewarm.After Shen Ruhua hit a few snags, he turned to attack Yun Yao.It's just that Yunyao is also smart, although she has a playful smile on her face, the meaning of rejection is still very obvious.
Just now she noticed that after Shen Ruhua made that suggestion, a trace of resentment flashed in Hu Qin's eyes.
No matter what the other party wants to do, it is not easy for the other party to achieve his goal when he is vigilant.
She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Ruhua, who was surrounded by several girls' homes, smiling softly and generously, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Turning around, he saw Tang Shurong was getting a fishing rod, as if he was going to wait for the fishing.
Yun Xi walked up to her and sat down next to her, "Who are you?"
Tang Shurong said with a smile: "I heard that the fish on the Yang River are very fat, and I can catch a few of them to make sashimi later." She paused, and said: "Anyway, if you eat too much fish, you won't get fat. "
Yun Xi only felt a little emotional, Tang Shurong was obviously a foodie, but because of his future husband's preferences, he had to endure it.But even the parents who love her don't think there is anything wrong with her.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously felt a little heavy.Even if she can save a lot of girls, she still can't change this kind of world, at most she can only subtly influence the people around her.
Tang Shurong himself didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he smiled and said to Yun Xi: "Before I boarded the boat today, I brought a special sauce, which is the best for dipping sashimi. It's a pity Ya'er doesn't like to eat, so I'm going to miss this kind of food."
Yun Xi calmed down and chatted and laughed with her.She seemed to ask casually, "But Shurong, why did you suddenly think of asking everyone to go boating on the lake this time? This is not an idea you can come up with."
Tang Shurong chuckled, "Shen Ruhua suggested it to me. I think it's really interesting, so I decided. She thought it would be most interesting to divide everyone into several groups and take a small boat, but I think it's too dangerous. I prefer a big boat." Be safe. It just so happens that my uncle gave me this boat earlier, so I just used it for everyone to play with."
Yun Xi nodded, a thought flashed in her eyes.It really has something to do with Shen Ruhua... If it was the original Xiaozhou, it should be easier for Shen Ruhua to do things.
Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Shurong asked in a low voice, "Yun Xi, don't you like their cousins? If you don't like them, I won't associate with them." To Tang Shurong, Yun Xi had known each other for a while. Friends who have been friends for more than a year are definitely more important than Shen Ruhua and Hu Qin.
Yun Xi pinched her cheeks, feeling in her heart that the original round face feels better when pinched, she softened her voice a little, and said: "Why did the Shen family and the Hu family move here from the state capital? Ask your parents."
Tang Shurong nodded half-understood. She didn't think Yun Xi was a targetless person, so it could be seen that something happened that she didn't know about.She thought of Kang Ya'er's lukewarm attitude towards them, and couldn't help but regret that she didn't inquire more.
When the boat arrived at Yanghe, all the girls on the boat went to the bow of the boat to watch the fun.
Numerous trees were planted on both sides of the Yang River, and at a glance, there was a lush green ocean.
Compared with the original calm lake, the current of Yanghe River is much more turbulent, and the splashing waves from time to time caused the girls to exclaim.
After the boat sailed for a while, Tang Shurong asked the boatman to dock the boat on the shore and start fishing.
There were quite a few people who were also interested in fishing, and several of them sat and accompanied her.Others who didn't like fishing also started betting with a smile on who would catch the most.Tang Shurong's cousin, Li Meng, didn't give her cousin any face at all. "My cousin will definitely get nothing. My aunt has never enjoyed one of the fish she has fished for so many years."
Tang Shurong was so angry that he put down his fishing rod and ran to pinch her face.
To everyone's surprise, Hu Qin was the one who caught the most fish.In just half an hour, the fish in her bucket was almost full.
Tang Shurong was naturally at the bottom, but she held the two fish in her bucket and smiled very happily, without her last self-consciousness at all.For her, being able to catch fish was already a surprise.
She happily asked the kitchen to turn the fish into sashimi.
Occasionally eating sashimi, Yun Xi also likes it very much, so naturally she is waiting for the cooking skills in the kitchen.
She herself likes sashimi sliced thinner, preferably the kind that is so thin that the light can see through, and she doesn't know how skilled the Tang family's chef is.
She was idly thinking about these things here, but on the other side, there was a sudden exclamation, "Hey, what are those?"
Yun Xi came back to her senses and walked to everyone's side. Her eyesight was much better than other girls, so it was not difficult to see that there were several light boats coming in this direction from afar.Yun Xi counted, and there were almost five ships, and the speed was quite fast.
"Ah." Shen Ruhua covered her mouth with her hand, looking surprised.
Naturally someone asked her what was wrong.
Shen Ruhua smiled slightly and said: "I just remembered, my brother told me earlier that he was going to compete with some friends on the river today, they should be the ones coming over."
Shen Ruhua still has confidence in her brother.Her brother Shen Ximing was talented and handsome since he was a child, and even his cousin Qin'er was infatuated with her brother.As long as her brother is asked to stand in front of Du Yunxi, a person like Du Yunxi who has never seen anything in the world will be deeply rooted in love.
Shen Ruhua didn't know that Yun Xi had met all kinds of beautiful men in his previous life, and that in this life, there was also a Yun Shen and a Wen Yan who returned to raise Diao eyes.
But for this kind of competition, the girls are still very interested, one by one standing on the bow of the boat, watching those boats approaching curiously.
Yun Xi was pulled by Yun Yao, and looked casually.For her, after seeing the boat race, this kind of small competition is really not very interesting.
It was Shen Ruhua who spoke softly beside him: "The first boat now belongs to my brother. It's a small bet, everyone might as well bet on who will win. As a younger sister, I will definitely bet on my brother, My brother's boat is number three."
When she said this, people who were not interested in it became interested and placed bets one after another.
Because of Shen Ruhua, many people chose number three.
Hu Qin said: "My brother is number one, I will choose my brother."
When several ships passed by, she also pointed out which one was her brother Hu You.Don't look at Hu Qin's charming and charming nature, but her elder brother Hu You's appearance can only be described as ordinary.It is said that this is because her brother looks more like her father.
Comparing this appearance with Shen Ximing's, it is quite different.In addition, Hu Qin doesn't know how to be a human being, so there are really not many people who choose her brother.
Shen Ruhua saw that everyone had made a bet, except for the two sisters Yun Xi and Yun Yao, with a gentle smile on her face, "Which one will Yun Xi bet on?"
From the tone of her voice, people who didn't know her thought that she and Yun Xi were close friends who had known each other for several years.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, she still had that casual and calm smile, "Then bet on number two."
"Huh? Why two?"
Yun Yao also chose the second one, and even bet a tael of silver.
The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up, "Two is my lucky number." In her previous life, she was also ranked second in the dormitory.In fact, the main reason is that they don't want to get involved with the Shen and Hu families.
If you still don't understand the Shen family's thoughts until now, then you will be ashamed of Yun Xi's IQ.From the Shen family's marriage proposal before, to Shen Ruhua's seemingly inadvertently speaking well of her brother in front of her, to Shen Ximing's appearance in front of her.I'm afraid that what the Shen family beat was the idea of making her a daughter-in-law.
On the one hand, it is because she is a rare county monarch in the state capital, and on the other hand, because her foundation is not stable, it is naturally easier to calculate than other official ladies who have the support of her father and brother.Even if the Shen family were given a hundred courage, they probably would not dare to plot against Yan Ling.
If you don't choose either number one or number three, then just choose number two.
For such a reason, everyone has black lines on their faces, this attitude is too casual.
Shen Ruhua felt a little regretful in her heart, if she chose her brother, she would be able to manipulate it when rumors spread in the future, saying that it was at this time that Du Yunxi fell in love with her brother Shen Ximing.To be able to hold this kind of thinking, it can only be said that the Shen family doesn't understand Yun Xi.Fenghuang County is her base camp, want to play a public opinion war?I'm afraid that it will be the Shen family who will be played with drunkenly and dreamily.
On the other hand, Hu Qin looked relieved seeing this.
According to Shen Ruhua, her brother's racing boat had to turn back when it got to the front, that is to say, when it passed in front of them, it was only half of the journey.
For the girls on the boat, a small gamble is just fun, and the real fun is watching those boys who are usually more gentle and gentle than the other, paddling hard over there, sweating and embarrassed on a hot day.
This sense of contrast made everyone laugh, and someone pointed to one of them and said, "Look, his hair is crooked by the wind."
"What is this? The guy in the blue shirt on the No. [-] boat, his face is blurred."
"It's not just him, look, several of them are confused, I'm dying of laughter."
Don't say that only women can wear powder makeup, men can too, it's just that some people like it and some people don't.For example, Yun Shen is a person who doesn't know how to smear things on his face. According to him, when a man puts on powder, he is squirming and has no masculinity at all.
The son of No. [-] boat obviously had too much powder painted on his face, but he was doused by sweat and waves, not to mention how embarrassing he was.
Even Yun Xi couldn't help laughing at it. To be honest, the young master's appearance is not bad. He looks clean and upright without putting on makeup. Why do you have to make yourself like this.
What she didn't know was that this son was actually tricked by Shen Ximing.
Shen Ximing knew from his younger sister that there might be girls coming to Yanghe to go on a boat today, and among them was Mr. Du County whom he had met once.Before meeting Yun Xi, Shen Ximing was very dissatisfied with his mother's desire to marry her a peasant girl - in his eyes, so what if he was named the county lord.The peasant girls in his impression were all vulgar and illiterate.
It's just that when he met Yun Xi, his face was still unparalleled without makeup, and his posture was like a willow, like a peerless beauty who had stepped off a painting.He became insane in an instant, and the original dissatisfaction in his heart flew to Java.For competitors who are better looking than him, he implies that the other party has to perform well in front of a group of girls, and it is best to dress up to show their extraordinary demeanor.
As a result, several people who usually don't wear powder all smeared it on their faces, and instead they made a fool of themselves with a group of girls.It's just that they don't have a mirror at this time, so they can't see their painted faces at all.When passing the boat, each of them tried to put on their best postures, making sure to highlight their unparalleled elegance.
Coupled with the painted faces of those people, it instantly became even more funny.
Yun Xi watched those small boats pass by in front of her with leisure, and turned around again after passing the previous point.
Shen Ruhua's elder brother is quite strong, and his other opponent still retains the first advantage.
When the boat turned a corner and appeared in front of their boat again, Yun Xi, who was standing at the bow, suddenly felt as if someone pushed her from behind, the force was really not small.
If it is an ordinary girl, I am afraid that this time it will end up in the water.
Yun Xi suddenly heard a male voice, "Mr. Du, I'll save you!"
Shen Ximing, who happened to walk in front of the boat, jumped off the boat directly, splashing water.
As for Yun Xi, her feet touched the surface of the water lightly, and she flew up into the air with a graceful posture, like a fairy in a poem, even if she was carrying water, she would walk on flat ground.
This move obviously stunned everyone who saw it. They didn't even pay attention to Shen Ximing who was still flopping about in the water. They just opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at Yun Xi.
She jumped lightly, without even splashing a drop of water on her body, and jumped in front of the dumbfounded Shen Ruhua.With her skill, she can't fall into the water, no one can make her fall, it's just an extra chance to show off her lightness kung fu.
Yun Xi's cold eyes swept over Shen Ruhua, except for Shen Ruhua who pushed her just now, there was no one else, even though she couldn't find any evidence.Up to now, she has roughly guessed Shen Ruhua's purpose, which is nothing more than to push her into the water, and then her brother rescued Yun Xi in public, and had an intimate contact, so that she would have to marry if she didn't marry.
It's just that she didn't expect Yun Xi to have such good skills.
As soon as Yun Xi's gaze swept away, Shen Ruhua felt a burst of cold air from behind - she actually knew it was her!
Yun Xi withdrew her gaze, looked at Shen Ximing who was swimming towards the drowning man in the water, and asked, "Apart from me, who else fell into the water?"
Tang Shurong's face darkened, "After you fell, Huqin also fell."
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curled up slightly, "Cousins, it's okay to kiss each other even more."
(End of this chapter)
In the few days when Yun Shen was sent away, Yun Xi was really not used to it, so she simply found more things for herself to do.
For example, practicing calligraphy and reading books... Most of the books she chose were about etiquette and common sense.She didn't want to embarrass him when she was with Yun Shen in the future.
I read books every day, do calculations, and occasionally go to Zhuangzi to teach everyone. I live a very leisurely life.Of course, Yun Xi's martial arts did not drop, and the time for daily martial arts practice increased a little.
In mid-June, Yun Xi suddenly received an invitation card, and the person who posted it was actually Shen Ruhua.
Shen Ruhua invited her to come to her home to participate in the poetry tasting at the end of June.
Yun Xi rubbed her chin, her gaze fell on the address mentioned in the post, and she couldn't help but freeze.This address is actually in Fenghuang County.
She asked someone to inquire about the address, and Lai San sent the information in less than half a day.
Sure enough, the Shen family was still implicated by the Hu family, digging out some past events of accepting bribes, Shen Ruhua's father could only be with her uncle.In addition, the Shen and Hu families are now in the state capital where people scold them. After discussing with each other, the two families decided to temporarily move out of the state capital to avoid the limelight.
Part of the reason for this is because of the Daughter League.The starting point of Daughter's League is good, and the parents of the members in it don't forget to bring up this matter from time to time to make a good name for their daughters.In contrast, the Shen family and the Hu family and other families involved in this case were used as a stepping stone, talking about it from time to time.
Originally, Shen Ruhua also made an appointment for a marriage. The other party is the son of a fifth-rank official and a juren. It is said that he is a rare good man who is clean and self-disciplined.It's just that since the Shen family's reputation has been ruined, that family has dissolved the marriage on the grounds that they don't cooperate with each other.
The addition of this series of events will undoubtedly make things worse for these two families.
Unable to stay in the state capital, he can only choose to move.I don't know what they thought, but they moved to Fenghuang County.
Yun Xi put away the post and wrote a receipt, expressing that she was not feeling well today, and the heat was in full swing, so it was hard for her to go out.
Speaking of which, she felt a little tired. In fact, the attitude of the Du family was quite obvious, and they didn't want to continue walking with the Shen family, but the Shen family didn't seem to see their refusal attitude.
After sending out the receipt, she did not forget to tell Du Zhou about it.
Mrs. Du Zhou was also surprised when she heard that Shen and Hu's family had moved to Fenghuang County, but she was much more optimistic, "I think both of them are people who are used to the prosperity of the state capital, but they may not be used to living in Fenghuang County. County, maybe I will leave after staying for a while."
Yun Xi shook her head, "That's not necessarily the case. I've heard that the two families spent more than 1000 taels to buy a good house with three entrances."
For the two families now, this money is not something that can be ignored at will. If they are not sure that they want to settle down, they can just rent a house directly.
Speaking of it, although this incident was quite a big deal in the state capital at the time, because Fenghuang County is a distance away from there, and because everyone has never seen the jugglers with their own eyes, such things as abduction and trafficking are commonplace. People in Fenghuang County discussed it for a day or two at most, and then dropped their hands.
These ordinary people don't even pay attention to which officials have been sacked because of this incident.
After discussion, the Du family made a decision.On the bright side, they will not directly tear their skins open with the members of the Shen family and the Hu family, after all, such words are too ugly.But there will be no extra contact, just treat it as a stranger.
Although the retired Shen Ruhua was pitiful, and although the girl from the Hu family who had been reduced from an official lady to a commoner girl was admirable, but thinking of those people she had seen before, Yun Xi couldn't feel much sympathy for them.No matter how poor they are, they still eat well and wear warm clothes, and they are still young ladies who are served by others, but what about those people?If they hadn't met Yun Xi and the others, their lives would have been ruined like this.
Perhaps because they were worried that their old accounts would be uncovered if they were too high-profile, the settlement of the Shen family and the Hu family in Fenghuang County was very low-key, they didn't even set up wine, and the doors were closed on weekdays.
Seeing that they seemed to have plans to live in peace and contentment, Yun Xi only sent one or two people to keep an eye on the movements of the two of them, and dropped the rest.
……
Although Yun Xi rejected Shen Ruhua's post, but if the good sister wants to hold a flower viewing feast, she will definitely save face.
On June 3000th, Tang Shurong invited Yun Xi and Yun Yao to play.Recently, an in-law of the Tang family was doing business. Tang Shurong's mother, Mrs. Tang, also took part in a share, and it is said that she made a fortune. In the past year, she also made two to three thousand taels.Mrs. Tang used the money to buy a small Zhuangzi, where Tang Shurong's flower viewing banquet was held.
I heard that there is a big lake behind Zhuangzi, and the lotus in the lake is in full bloom, which is a good time to enjoy the flowers.
Tang Shurong's marriage has been settled, and in a few months, he will stay at home and sew a wedding dress for himself, and there will not be much time to relax in the future.Perhaps it was for this reason that she invited all her friends to have fun for a day or two before then.
Yun Xi would definitely not refuse her friend's invitation, and since she had nothing to do in those two days, she wrote back directly, expressing that she would bring Yun Yao there when the time came.
Rafting on the lake in summer is quite interesting to think about.
Because they were going out, both Yun Xi and Yun Yao changed into lighter clothes, and simply put a jade hairpin on their heads.What Yunxi wore was in the style of a hosta flower, while Yunyao was wearing an impatiens flower.
The two of them had a sky-blue dress and the other a blue-green dress, and they both looked fresh and pretty.
Yun Xi looked at Yun Yao beside her, stretched out her hand to measure it, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, I have grown a lot taller this year."
When Yun Yao heard this, her nose turned up with pride, "Of course. It's not in vain for me to drink milk every day."
Originally, Yunyao was shorter than Yunxi by at least one head, and she looked childish, but in the past year, her facial features have gradually grown, and she has the appearance of a girlish girl, but her chest is still flat.After hearing Yun Xi say that drinking milk every day can help you grow taller, she began to drink a bottle of milk every day.
For this reason, Mrs. Du bought a new cow, and Momoo had a lot of complaints about it. It took Yun Xi a lot of effort to coax him.
Although the Du family could afford a carriage now, Yun Xi and the others were still used to letting Momoo drive when they were away from home.According to Yunyao, Momoo is good at driving, and he never drives bumpy.
The Tang family's Zhuangzi is not too far from the city, and it takes only half an hour to arrive by bullock cart.
Although it is the hottest June, perhaps because of the lush greenery around here, the heat is somewhat relieved by the green screen.
Yun Xi came neither early nor late, when she arrived, many girls had already arrived.Some of them are her good friends.
She got off the bullock cart, took Yun Yao's hand, entered the Zhuangzi, and greeted Kang Ya'er, Tian Ruhui, Wang Qiantong and others with a smile.
Kang Yaer specially thanked her for the ice cubes she sent a few days ago.At that time, she was so hot that she suffered from heatstroke. After Yun Xi heard about it, because she had a good relationship with Kang Ya'er, she specially sent her a cart full of ice cubes.
Some girls also joined their chat team.
As for Tang Shurong, after greeting Yun Xi at first, he was busy receiving other guests.Although she has a good relationship with Yunxi Yunyao, as a guest, it's not good to treat one more favorably than another.
Yun Xi looked at Shurong gliding through the crowd like a little butterfly, and couldn't help but said, "I seem to have lost a lot of weight today after reading the book." The original apple face was almost thinner into an oval face.
Tang Shurong's cousin, Li Meng, nodded vigorously. As her name suggests, Li Meng has a round face and looks very pleasing, somewhat similar to Tang Shurong. "My cousin has recently started to lose weight."
Kang Ya'er frowned and said, "I'm already good at reading, why do I have to lose weight?" It's so cute.
Li Meng looked around and saw that all of them were cousin's best friends, so she was dissatisfied: "I heard that my cousin's fiancé likes slender women."
Everyone fell silent. Seeing their expressions, Yun Xi seemed to think that Tang Shurong's actions were quite normal.
She sighed slightly in her heart, if it was her, she would be impatient and go to wrong herself in order to please a man.Tang Shurong's parents also love her very much. I heard that his fiancé is also the son of a juren, he has achieved fame at a young age, and his parents are also sensible people. From the perspective of people of this era, this marriage is quite good.
Seeing the angry silence, Li Meng quickly changed the subject, "By the way, when everyone is here, we can go swimming in the lake and pick lotus pods to eat. I will pick some lotus seeds and let the kitchen make lotus seeds." soup."
Everyone followed this topic and talked about playing at the door. According to Li Meng's intention, there are other fun things to do tomorrow.When she talked about having fun, she looked very excited.No wonder Tang Shurong has the best relationship with her among the cousins, because they have similar temperaments.
Tang Shurong invited quite a few people this time, and Yun Xi saw quite a few strange faces.There are so many girls in Fenghuang County, it is impossible for her to know everyone.
She counted, there were about twenty people.A group of girls gathered together, singing birds and swallows, and the air was full of joy.
Tang Shurong pulled the two girls, walked in front of Yun Xi and the others, and said with a smile, "Yun Xi, this is a new friend I met recently. This is Shen Ruhua, sister Shen. This is sister Hu Qin, sister Shen's cousin."
Shen Ruhua is only two months younger than Yun Xi, with a handsome appearance and looks generous.Hu Qin's appearance is more beautiful, with a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows and eyes, obviously spoiled.
Shen Ruhua said in a soft voice: "Originally, I invited sister Du's family to come to the banquet, but it's a pity that sister Du's body was not happy at that time, and I couldn't get to know someone as good-looking as my sister. I was very sorry at that time. Unexpectedly The younger sister of the Tang family gave me this chance."
As for Hu Qin, she seemed a little hostile towards Yun Xi.
Judging from what he said and how he acted, Shen Ruhua, like her mother, was a well-rounded person.
Tang Shurong smiled in surprise, "It turns out that the two of you have been friends for a long time."
Yun Xi was a little speechless: Shu Rong, this silly elder sister!It was simply used by Shen Ruhua, okay?
After thinking about it, she felt that maybe she was thinking too much.She wasn't considered to be a character on a special brand, so Shen Ruhua didn't have that need to hang on to her.Maybe he really just met Tang Shurong by chance and was invited by her.
She hooked her lips and smiled slightly, without saying a word.In front of people, she is not good at speaking ill of people.
Hu Qin let out a cold snort from his nose, with hostility in his words, "She is a noble county lord, a commoner girl like us, how can we have the right to know her."
Yun Xi smiled slightly, the smile was still sweet and moving, it seemed harmless, but it implied sharpness, "I was just lucky enough to get the title of county lord, and I was just a country girl before. How can it compare to the Hu family's younger sister who is the official daughter , Father still passes the sentence."
She is not a soft persimmon, if you want to get angry with her, don't blame her for exposing her family's affairs.
The other girls didn't understand, so one of them simply asked: "Hey, if that's the case, why does sister Hu say she's a commoner girl?"
Hu Qin's face was flushed, and in the public, could she say that her father is now imprisoned because of collaborating with abductors, and his future is uncertain?Although the official position of the general judge is still there, it is also because it takes time for the book to reach the hands of the emperor.The dismissal of officials is up to the emperor.
Faced with the doubtful eyes cast by many people, Hu Qin couldn't help throwing a help-seeking look to his cousin.
Although Shen Ruhua forced a gentle smile on her face, she scolded this cousin a thousand times in her heart for not doing enough to accomplish anything.If it wasn't for her uncle, how could her father's affairs be found out.Who doesn't accept some filial piety as an official these days?But only her father was exposed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was implicated by her uncle.
My cousin is also stupid. At this time, I don't want to get to know more people, but because of the resentment in my heart, I rush to offend them.It is impossible to say that Shen Ruhua has no grievances towards Yun Xi.If it wasn't for Du Yunxi and Dai Yanling's unnecessary actions, this matter would not have been exposed, and she would have been implicated even more.She posted the post again and again, but Yun Xi looked down on her and never responded.Just thinking of her mother, she finally suppressed the resentment in her heart.Instead, according to her mother's wishes, she tried every means to get acquainted with Du Yunxi and tried her best to win her favor.
You must know that the Su family stood behind Du Yunxi. At that time, many people in the court only agreed to canonize her as the township lord, and opposed to leapfrogging to become the county lord. However, because the emperor's uncle was there to support her, she became the county lord smoothly. .If her elder brother marries Du Yunxi, not only will there be a generous dowry to relieve the Shen family's plight, but it will also be able to climb up the Su family.
The reason why her cousin Qin'er has such a big opinion of Du Yunxi is somewhat clear to her.On the one hand, it was because of her father's bleak future that she blamed Du Yunxi for her anger.On the other hand, it was because Qin'er had always liked her brother, but her mother felt that her cousin's temperament was really not suitable for marrying, so she didn't agree.
She gave Hu Qin a warning look, then smiled and said to everyone: "My sister was spoiled by my aunt and the others, so she has a bit of a temper. She used to be praised for her good looks when she was with us, but now she is Sister Du was outcompeted, that's why she was sulking."
Yun Xi had to admit that this Shen Ruhua was indeed a smart person.When she said this, everyone thought that the dispute between Hu Qin and her was just due to their appearance, and they would not pursue the reason behind it.
The most embarrassing person present was Tang Shurong. No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Yun Xi was at odds with her two new friends, and she also had a faint doubt in her heart: In her impression, Yun Xi had always had a good personality , and rarely discord with others.
Because of being closer to Yun Xi, Tang Shurong naturally felt that there must be something wrong with his new friend. Looking at Hu Qin's arrogant appearance, he knew that the fault must be on her.
She cast an apologetic look at Yun Xi, and then led Hu Qin and Shen Ruhua to meet her other friends.
Kang Ya'er looked at the backs of the two of them, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "The Hu family has acted like that, and the girls of his family are too embarrassed to seek you out."
From what Kang Ya'er meant, she was aware of what happened in the state capital.
It's normal when you think about it, her father is the county magistrate, so he would tell her about it, Yun Xi smiled and didn't say anything.
After everyone came together, Tang Shurong led everyone to the lakeside.The area of this lake is really not small. It is said that the end of the lake is connected to the Nayang River.At a glance, the lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun.
The prestige gently brushed over everyone's faces, bringing the faint fragrance of lotus.
Looking at such beautiful scenery, people's mood has improved a lot unconsciously.
Everyone even laughed and said, "If I knew the scenery here is so good, I should have asked my parents to buy some fields near here and build a village, so that I can come here in summer and relax."
Tang Shurong cocked his nose proudly, obviously thinking that it was very wise for her mother to buy this Zhuangzi.
There were a dozen or so stone tables by the lake, and everyone sat down in twos and threes.The servants of the Tang family also brought summer fruits.
Yun Xi took a peach and took a bite, this peach was very sweet, it was full of juice after biting.
In addition to fruits, some snacks are also placed.
Some naughty girls even lifted their skirts, walked to the river, picked a big lotus leaf for themselves, and used it as a hat to wear.
After everyone ate some fruits, Tian Ruhui looked at Tang Shurong, "Shurong, you invited us to come and play for two days, isn't it just to see the lotus? No matter how beautiful the lotus is, we can't see it for two days."
It's almost enough to enjoy it for a day.
Tang Shurong smiled and said: "Of course not." She led everyone directly along the path paved with cobblestones to the other side of the lake.
Yun Xi saw a large boat parked by the lake, it had about two floors and could accommodate five to sixty people.
Tang Shurong smiled, "This boat is my birthday present from my uncle." The uncle she was talking about should be the one who made a lot of money in business in recent years, and also Li Meng's cousin.
Many girls looked at the boat with joy, and then boarded the boat with their skirts. There were several crew members on board, and there were also several servant girls from the Tang family.According to Tang Shurong, these maids can swim, even if they accidentally fall into the water, it doesn't matter, there are spare clothes on the boat anyway.
As soon as she said this, a group of people twisted her cheeks and told her to curse herself for nothing.
Tang Shurong also put his heart into this gathering. There are also fishing rods on the boat, so those who want to fish can enjoy the fun of fishing.
However, people seem to be more interested in picking lotus pods than fishing.
Pick off the lotus pod, take out the lotus seeds inside, put it in your mouth, it is sweet and delicious.Tang Shurong also specially invited a lotus picking girl on board, she was in charge of peeling the lotus seeds, and let these pampered girls on the boat go to the lotus heart by themselves, they are really not skilled in peeling lotus seeds.
Yun Yao watched the little girl skillfully pick Lian Xin without blinking her eyes, and her movements were fast.After a while, it peeled off a lot.She kept the lotus heart, obviously she wanted to send it to the pharmacy to sell it to supplement the family.
Even if she peeled it for an hour, the lotus seeds she could earn would be a few tens of coins at most, but the little girl still peeled them seriously.
After she peeled it for more than half an hour, everyone had almost eaten the lotus seeds.
The Tang family gave her money in advance, and the little girl picking lotus put away the lotus seed heart.
Yun Xi thanked her with a smile.
The clothes on the little girl's body were half-new and not old, but it could be seen that they were her best clothes.Probably because of too much exposure to the sun, her skin is a little dark, and she looks a little innocent when she smiles.
After being thanked by Yun Xi, her face blushed slightly, and she repeatedly waved her hands to show that it was nothing.
Seeing that she was about the same age as her, Yunyao had to come out to earn money to support her family, unconsciously recalling her past life, and gave her a piece of silver as a thank you.Although she can give more, if she gives too much, it will easily bring disaster to the lotus picker.
After eating the lotus seeds, the boat drove slowly on the lake, sparkling, and the sun fell on the lake, as if countless fine gold was sprinkled.
Shen Ruhua suddenly said: "It's not interesting just to go boating on the lake, why don't we go to the Yang River and have a look."
As soon as her proposal came out, many girls were eager to follow suit, obviously thinking that this idea was not a bad idea.
Under the booing of those lively girls, everyone decided to continue the boat.
Yun Xi frowned unconsciously, she always felt that Shen Ruhua's proposal... was unlikely to be aimless.The other party doesn't seem like someone who would do such a meaningless act.
When they were on the boat, Shen Ruhua also kept expressing that he wanted to befriend her, but Yun Xi was always lukewarm.After Shen Ruhua hit a few snags, he turned to attack Yun Yao.It's just that Yunyao is also smart, although she has a playful smile on her face, the meaning of rejection is still very obvious.
Just now she noticed that after Shen Ruhua made that suggestion, a trace of resentment flashed in Hu Qin's eyes.
No matter what the other party wants to do, it is not easy for the other party to achieve his goal when he is vigilant.
She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Ruhua, who was surrounded by several girls' homes, smiling softly and generously, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Turning around, he saw Tang Shurong was getting a fishing rod, as if he was going to wait for the fishing.
Yun Xi walked up to her and sat down next to her, "Who are you?"
Tang Shurong said with a smile: "I heard that the fish on the Yang River are very fat, and I can catch a few of them to make sashimi later." She paused, and said: "Anyway, if you eat too much fish, you won't get fat. "
Yun Xi only felt a little emotional, Tang Shurong was obviously a foodie, but because of his future husband's preferences, he had to endure it.But even the parents who love her don't think there is anything wrong with her.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously felt a little heavy.Even if she can save a lot of girls, she still can't change this kind of world, at most she can only subtly influence the people around her.
Tang Shurong himself didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he smiled and said to Yun Xi: "Before I boarded the boat today, I brought a special sauce, which is the best for dipping sashimi. It's a pity Ya'er doesn't like to eat, so I'm going to miss this kind of food."
Yun Xi calmed down and chatted and laughed with her.She seemed to ask casually, "But Shurong, why did you suddenly think of asking everyone to go boating on the lake this time? This is not an idea you can come up with."
Tang Shurong chuckled, "Shen Ruhua suggested it to me. I think it's really interesting, so I decided. She thought it would be most interesting to divide everyone into several groups and take a small boat, but I think it's too dangerous. I prefer a big boat." Be safe. It just so happens that my uncle gave me this boat earlier, so I just used it for everyone to play with."
Yun Xi nodded, a thought flashed in her eyes.It really has something to do with Shen Ruhua... If it was the original Xiaozhou, it should be easier for Shen Ruhua to do things.
Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Shurong asked in a low voice, "Yun Xi, don't you like their cousins? If you don't like them, I won't associate with them." To Tang Shurong, Yun Xi had known each other for a while. Friends who have been friends for more than a year are definitely more important than Shen Ruhua and Hu Qin.
Yun Xi pinched her cheeks, feeling in her heart that the original round face feels better when pinched, she softened her voice a little, and said: "Why did the Shen family and the Hu family move here from the state capital? Ask your parents."
Tang Shurong nodded half-understood. She didn't think Yun Xi was a targetless person, so it could be seen that something happened that she didn't know about.She thought of Kang Ya'er's lukewarm attitude towards them, and couldn't help but regret that she didn't inquire more.
When the boat arrived at Yanghe, all the girls on the boat went to the bow of the boat to watch the fun.
Numerous trees were planted on both sides of the Yang River, and at a glance, there was a lush green ocean.
Compared with the original calm lake, the current of Yanghe River is much more turbulent, and the splashing waves from time to time caused the girls to exclaim.
After the boat sailed for a while, Tang Shurong asked the boatman to dock the boat on the shore and start fishing.
There were quite a few people who were also interested in fishing, and several of them sat and accompanied her.Others who didn't like fishing also started betting with a smile on who would catch the most.Tang Shurong's cousin, Li Meng, didn't give her cousin any face at all. "My cousin will definitely get nothing. My aunt has never enjoyed one of the fish she has fished for so many years."
Tang Shurong was so angry that he put down his fishing rod and ran to pinch her face.
To everyone's surprise, Hu Qin was the one who caught the most fish.In just half an hour, the fish in her bucket was almost full.
Tang Shurong was naturally at the bottom, but she held the two fish in her bucket and smiled very happily, without her last self-consciousness at all.For her, being able to catch fish was already a surprise.
She happily asked the kitchen to turn the fish into sashimi.
Occasionally eating sashimi, Yun Xi also likes it very much, so naturally she is waiting for the cooking skills in the kitchen.
She herself likes sashimi sliced thinner, preferably the kind that is so thin that the light can see through, and she doesn't know how skilled the Tang family's chef is.
She was idly thinking about these things here, but on the other side, there was a sudden exclamation, "Hey, what are those?"
Yun Xi came back to her senses and walked to everyone's side. Her eyesight was much better than other girls, so it was not difficult to see that there were several light boats coming in this direction from afar.Yun Xi counted, and there were almost five ships, and the speed was quite fast.
"Ah." Shen Ruhua covered her mouth with her hand, looking surprised.
Naturally someone asked her what was wrong.
Shen Ruhua smiled slightly and said: "I just remembered, my brother told me earlier that he was going to compete with some friends on the river today, they should be the ones coming over."
Shen Ruhua still has confidence in her brother.Her brother Shen Ximing was talented and handsome since he was a child, and even his cousin Qin'er was infatuated with her brother.As long as her brother is asked to stand in front of Du Yunxi, a person like Du Yunxi who has never seen anything in the world will be deeply rooted in love.
Shen Ruhua didn't know that Yun Xi had met all kinds of beautiful men in his previous life, and that in this life, there was also a Yun Shen and a Wen Yan who returned to raise Diao eyes.
But for this kind of competition, the girls are still very interested, one by one standing on the bow of the boat, watching those boats approaching curiously.
Yun Xi was pulled by Yun Yao, and looked casually.For her, after seeing the boat race, this kind of small competition is really not very interesting.
It was Shen Ruhua who spoke softly beside him: "The first boat now belongs to my brother. It's a small bet, everyone might as well bet on who will win. As a younger sister, I will definitely bet on my brother, My brother's boat is number three."
When she said this, people who were not interested in it became interested and placed bets one after another.
Because of Shen Ruhua, many people chose number three.
Hu Qin said: "My brother is number one, I will choose my brother."
When several ships passed by, she also pointed out which one was her brother Hu You.Don't look at Hu Qin's charming and charming nature, but her elder brother Hu You's appearance can only be described as ordinary.It is said that this is because her brother looks more like her father.
Comparing this appearance with Shen Ximing's, it is quite different.In addition, Hu Qin doesn't know how to be a human being, so there are really not many people who choose her brother.
Shen Ruhua saw that everyone had made a bet, except for the two sisters Yun Xi and Yun Yao, with a gentle smile on her face, "Which one will Yun Xi bet on?"
From the tone of her voice, people who didn't know her thought that she and Yun Xi were close friends who had known each other for several years.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, she still had that casual and calm smile, "Then bet on number two."
"Huh? Why two?"
Yun Yao also chose the second one, and even bet a tael of silver.
The corners of Yun Xi's lips curled up, "Two is my lucky number." In her previous life, she was also ranked second in the dormitory.In fact, the main reason is that they don't want to get involved with the Shen and Hu families.
If you still don't understand the Shen family's thoughts until now, then you will be ashamed of Yun Xi's IQ.From the Shen family's marriage proposal before, to Shen Ruhua's seemingly inadvertently speaking well of her brother in front of her, to Shen Ximing's appearance in front of her.I'm afraid that what the Shen family beat was the idea of making her a daughter-in-law.
On the one hand, it is because she is a rare county monarch in the state capital, and on the other hand, because her foundation is not stable, it is naturally easier to calculate than other official ladies who have the support of her father and brother.Even if the Shen family were given a hundred courage, they probably would not dare to plot against Yan Ling.
If you don't choose either number one or number three, then just choose number two.
For such a reason, everyone has black lines on their faces, this attitude is too casual.
Shen Ruhua felt a little regretful in her heart, if she chose her brother, she would be able to manipulate it when rumors spread in the future, saying that it was at this time that Du Yunxi fell in love with her brother Shen Ximing.To be able to hold this kind of thinking, it can only be said that the Shen family doesn't understand Yun Xi.Fenghuang County is her base camp, want to play a public opinion war?I'm afraid that it will be the Shen family who will be played with drunkenly and dreamily.
On the other hand, Hu Qin looked relieved seeing this.
According to Shen Ruhua, her brother's racing boat had to turn back when it got to the front, that is to say, when it passed in front of them, it was only half of the journey.
For the girls on the boat, a small gamble is just fun, and the real fun is watching those boys who are usually more gentle and gentle than the other, paddling hard over there, sweating and embarrassed on a hot day.
This sense of contrast made everyone laugh, and someone pointed to one of them and said, "Look, his hair is crooked by the wind."
"What is this? The guy in the blue shirt on the No. [-] boat, his face is blurred."
"It's not just him, look, several of them are confused, I'm dying of laughter."
Don't say that only women can wear powder makeup, men can too, it's just that some people like it and some people don't.For example, Yun Shen is a person who doesn't know how to smear things on his face. According to him, when a man puts on powder, he is squirming and has no masculinity at all.
The son of No. [-] boat obviously had too much powder painted on his face, but he was doused by sweat and waves, not to mention how embarrassing he was.
Even Yun Xi couldn't help laughing at it. To be honest, the young master's appearance is not bad. He looks clean and upright without putting on makeup. Why do you have to make yourself like this.
What she didn't know was that this son was actually tricked by Shen Ximing.
Shen Ximing knew from his younger sister that there might be girls coming to Yanghe to go on a boat today, and among them was Mr. Du County whom he had met once.Before meeting Yun Xi, Shen Ximing was very dissatisfied with his mother's desire to marry her a peasant girl - in his eyes, so what if he was named the county lord.The peasant girls in his impression were all vulgar and illiterate.
It's just that when he met Yun Xi, his face was still unparalleled without makeup, and his posture was like a willow, like a peerless beauty who had stepped off a painting.He became insane in an instant, and the original dissatisfaction in his heart flew to Java.For competitors who are better looking than him, he implies that the other party has to perform well in front of a group of girls, and it is best to dress up to show their extraordinary demeanor.
As a result, several people who usually don't wear powder all smeared it on their faces, and instead they made a fool of themselves with a group of girls.It's just that they don't have a mirror at this time, so they can't see their painted faces at all.When passing the boat, each of them tried to put on their best postures, making sure to highlight their unparalleled elegance.
Coupled with the painted faces of those people, it instantly became even more funny.
Yun Xi watched those small boats pass by in front of her with leisure, and turned around again after passing the previous point.
Shen Ruhua's elder brother is quite strong, and his other opponent still retains the first advantage.
When the boat turned a corner and appeared in front of their boat again, Yun Xi, who was standing at the bow, suddenly felt as if someone pushed her from behind, the force was really not small.
If it is an ordinary girl, I am afraid that this time it will end up in the water.
Yun Xi suddenly heard a male voice, "Mr. Du, I'll save you!"
Shen Ximing, who happened to walk in front of the boat, jumped off the boat directly, splashing water.
As for Yun Xi, her feet touched the surface of the water lightly, and she flew up into the air with a graceful posture, like a fairy in a poem, even if she was carrying water, she would walk on flat ground.
This move obviously stunned everyone who saw it. They didn't even pay attention to Shen Ximing who was still flopping about in the water. They just opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at Yun Xi.
She jumped lightly, without even splashing a drop of water on her body, and jumped in front of the dumbfounded Shen Ruhua.With her skill, she can't fall into the water, no one can make her fall, it's just an extra chance to show off her lightness kung fu.
Yun Xi's cold eyes swept over Shen Ruhua, except for Shen Ruhua who pushed her just now, there was no one else, even though she couldn't find any evidence.Up to now, she has roughly guessed Shen Ruhua's purpose, which is nothing more than to push her into the water, and then her brother rescued Yun Xi in public, and had an intimate contact, so that she would have to marry if she didn't marry.
It's just that she didn't expect Yun Xi to have such good skills.
As soon as Yun Xi's gaze swept away, Shen Ruhua felt a burst of cold air from behind - she actually knew it was her!
Yun Xi withdrew her gaze, looked at Shen Ximing who was swimming towards the drowning man in the water, and asked, "Apart from me, who else fell into the water?"
Tang Shurong's face darkened, "After you fell, Huqin also fell."
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curled up slightly, "Cousins, it's okay to kiss each other even more."
