Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 8

Qi Haocheng didn't notice Yingxiu's gaze, but Liu Xuer who was beside him followed her gaze, saw Yingxiu's not-so-good face, and asked with concern, "This girl, is she feeling unwell? "

As soon as the goddess spoke, the eyes of these people who were still on the boat fell on them, Yingxiu returned to her senses and leaned back, suppressing the complexities in her eyes and smiling back, "Thank you Miss Liu for your concern, I just got a little seasick. "

Ruo Mu, who was on the boat next door, asked her husband to help her come over to see what she heard, but Yingxiu stopped her, "Be careful and don't come over, I'm much better."

"Miss Shen, we just brewed some ginger tea here. If you don't mind, you can drink it to dispel dizziness." Qi Haocheng rolled out a wheelchair behind him, and a man in black stood behind the wheelchair, holding the handle, Sitting in a wheelchair was a teenager, dressed in clothes embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns, looking at her with an easy-going smile on his face.

Yingxiu hesitated for a while, but in the end she didn't refute the face of her uncle in the previous life, and asked the maid to go forward to get ginger tea. Several cruise ships were connected together and got closer. Yingxiu sat next to Shiya, Holding the ginger tea in one hand, while looking at the side close to the mountain, you can also see the small caves formed on the cliff due to long-term water erosion.

The lake is clear and clear, and Yingxiu can hear the slight slapping sound when she gets close, and the laughter from the boat next door is next to her ears. Yingxiu heard them mention her name, looked back, and across the A layer of gauze covered it. Jin Ze, who had already gone to Liu Xu'er's boat, made a gesture towards her, and then Liu Xu'er's voice came, "I heard that Miss Shen is a student of Su Miaoyi, I wonder if I can hear it today?"

The hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and Yingxiu put the cup on the table calmly, watching Shiya winking at her, she refused helplessly, "It's my honor to study under her name. After a few years, I dare not show my ugliness."

Qi Hao said loudly, "Even I, who is not familiar with the rhythm, know that Su Miaoyi is the most popular among girls in the capital when it comes to qin music. Miss Shen doesn't have to be modest."

Qiao Shiya then praised, "Yeah, Yingxiu, I haven't heard you play for a long time. It just so happened that Second Young Master Qi brought the piano today, why don't you play one for us?"

Su Miaoyi, who was born in the Qing Dynasty in the capital city, played the piano well. She was forced to leave the music workshop where she lived because she refused to accept a high-ranking official who refused to enter the mansion as a concubine. After all, she was a woman from the music workshop. They are not willing to accept her as a musician, let alone a beautiful woman, which mistress would want such a time bomb at home.

At that time, Mrs. Shen was pregnant and couldn't take care of Yingxiu who was only five years old. She didn't know what Mrs. Tang meant when she called her. She suggested that Mrs. Shen Yingxiu should learn something when she was not young. Coming to teach, Yingxiu studied piano with Su Miaoyi for four years. Su Miaoyi left the house when she was nine years old.

What outsiders don't know is that Yingxiu has never touched the piano since she was nine years old, and Su Miaoyi didn't leave voluntarily, but was kicked out by Master Shen.

As for the reason for being driven out, it must have been another nightmare. Yingxiu looked at the qin that was put out, and was quite in a dilemma.

Liu Xu'er thought she was embarrassed, "Spring is just right, since everyone is interested in it, if Miss Shen doesn't dislike it, I am willing to accompany the song with a song."

It was a great honor for Yingxiu at that time. How many people in the capital wanted to win a beautiful woman to sing and pay a lot of money to win a smile. She, Shen Yingxiu, let her speak the accompaniment so easily today. If she still refused, wouldn't she be ignorant? up.

But after all, her status is sparse, she is a girl from a decent family, and the people on the opposite boat say something bad, she is indeed a girl from Huafang who makes a living by laughing, if Mother Qiao is here, she will definitely reprimand them for being so impolite things can also say
The people here today are all young people, most of them adore this clean and proud woman in front of them, even the eldest son of Nanyang Houfu bows down to her, all the reasons for her refusal seem to be her arrogance.

The people on several boats gathered at the bow, Yingxiu took a look at Qin who was on the opposite boat and stood up, pushed aside the gauze covering it, walked to the bow where the two boats were close to each other, and was about to step over , there was a sound of caution, and the whole ship shook violently. Yingxiu just lifted her foot to step on the board, but the whole ship moved like this, and the gap suddenly widened, and it was too late to dodge. The whole person was suspended in the air and disappeared in front of everyone.

The incident happened suddenly, until the sound of falling into the water came, Chen Baolin stared blankly at the hem of the clothes she had torn off in her hand, her expression suddenly became panicked, "Sister Yingxiu fell into the water, hurry up, go down and save someone!"

Yingxiu felt as if she had fallen into a suffocating world. The tingling and coldness from her nose made her panic, and the familiar feeling of death was still there. The only sound in her ears was the sound of the lake water beating against the edge of the boat. , the anxious shouts of the people on board were faintly heard, indistinct.

"Help~" She kept pouring the lake water with the smell of xylothecia in her mouth, and that familiar feeling kept coming, as if she would leave again as soon as she let go and closed her eyes.

She was not reconciled, God would not make such a joke and let her die like this after being reborn.

Yingxiu struggled to get out of the water and sank again, the moss on the bottom of the boat was clearly visible, and the suppressed feeling in her body made her unable to make a sound.

The moment she was about to give up, a pair of hands forcefully pulled her up, Yingxiu grabbed his hand as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and a low comforting voice came from beside her ear, "Don't move around, grab me and just grab me!" never mind."

Finally tasted the air, Yingxiu breathed greedily, never felt so lucky to be alive, opened her eyes to see who saved her, Qi Haosheng's familiar face appeared in front of her eyes.

The drenched hair hangs messily in the buns, and the clean and white face is full of sharp-edged indifference. There is a faint flash of stability in the eyes, as if to comfort her that there is no need to worry. A flash of panic flashed across Yingxiu's face, and she struggled , pushed the person in front of him vigorously with both hands, almost screaming, "Don't touch me!"

The body floating on the water sank to the bottom of the water, and the ear-piercing suffocation came again, Qi Haocheng did not ignore the panic on her face, let go of the rope in his hand and swam towards her.

Even after experiencing death once, she was still afraid of this feeling. Qi Haocheng grabbed her again, restrained her struggling hand with one hand, and swam towards the rope ladder that Jinze and the others threw down with the other.

"Grab it!" With a knot in his hand, Yingxiu was lifted out of the water by him. The people above quickly pulled her up, and Jin Ze stretched out his hand to pull her up. The deck was wet. Ya took several cloaks to wrap her around, Yingxiu shrank in her arms, her lips were pale.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay." Shiya carried her into the cabin, Ruomu couldn't get through on another boat, so she had to ask Jiang Yizhu to take his cloak and cover it for her.

"Cry it out, you'll be fine if you cry out, Xiu'er." Seeing that she was completely terrified, Shiya bit her lips tightly without showing any expression, and held her hand in fear and called her, "Yingxiu, don't you?" Frighten me, Yingxiu."

Yingxiu slowly raised her head, her eyes finally had a little focus, until she saw clearly who the person in front of her was, her mouth twitched, and two lines of tears fell together along the continuously flowing lake.

Yingxiu tried her best to vent, the helplessness of falling into the water, the strangeness of rebirth, the lingering memory in her mind, Shi Ya hugged her and patted her on the back gently to coax her.

Outside the cabin, Qi Haosheng finally climbed up, took the towel from Liu Xuer's hand and wiped his face, Jin Ze walked over with a coat, "Thank you, Shizi, for saving me, I will definitely come to pay my respects someday." If it wasn't for Qi Haosheng knows how to swim, Yingxiu might die here today.

Qi Haocheng didn't pick up the clothes in his hand, but when he heard the crying in the cabin, he frowned slightly, and he wanted to ask something, but the corner of his mouth twitched and he didn't ask, "It's a little effort, if she didn't want to come and play the piano, she wouldn't have fallen into the water .”

After going out like this, I lost the interest to continue playing, so I untied the rope tied to the boat and headed back to the pier. Liu Xuer walked into the cabin and asked the maid to bring over a cup of hot tea, "Miss Shen, I'm so sorry, my friend. Reckless, sailed too fast and crashed here."

Yingxiu shook her head and didn't speak. Shiya hugged her slightly trembling body and felt uneasy at the moment. If something happened to Yingxiu, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"Then Miss Shen, rest well, and you'll be able to go ashore later." Liu Xu'er walked out of the cabin and saw Qi Haoming sitting outside the cabin. Behind him was a man in black who had never left him before. She nodded and smiled, "Second Master Qi , it’s very windy, why don’t you sit in the back warehouse for a while.”

"It's okay, Miss Liu, let's go and see Big Brother, I'll just chat with Brother Jinze." Embarrassment flashed across Liu Xu'er's face, and then she took the maid to the back warehouse, Qi Haosheng had already changed his clothes, When Liu Xu'er entered, he was just putting on his coat and turning up the cuffs. Liu Xu'er stepped forward to help him smooth out the folds of his neckline, "Miss Shen is fine."

Qi Haocheng held her hand on the neckline, pulled her closer to his arms, put one hand on the frail waist, smelling the smell of her hair, Qi Haocheng's voice was low There was a low voice, "Miss Shen is fine, I have something to do."

A blush appeared on Liu Xu'er's face, she turned her face away and refused, "Haocheng, don't do this, me."

"I know what you're going to say." Qi Haosheng reached out his hand to stop her words, and hugged her in his arms, "I can take her away from Huafang soon, you have to wait for me."

Caressing his back with a slender and beautiful hand, Qi Haocheng didn't see the helplessness flashing across Liu Xu'er's face, even if she was Qingguan, she still had the word "Guardian", so how could she marry into the Hou family? Not to mention that the man in front of him and the seat he promised are simply unthinkable.

Getting to know Qi Haosheng was just an accident. I was also on a boat cruise on Dinghu Lake. The guests I received at that time were relatively reckless. Seeing that she did not follow her intentions and used force, the moment when the hero saved the beautiful land was the most touching moment. Qi Haosheng who was also on a boat beside him Came to rescue her, he comes from a distinguished family and is well-cultivated, Huafang's sisters are all envious of her, Liu Xu'er does not demean herself that she is not good enough, but that the two of them are from different worlds and cannot be integrated together.

Qi Haosheng's persistence and firmness moved her, but she was afraid that she would get deeper and deeper because of it, and in the end she couldn't even control herself. Just like this moment, his warm embrace and firm tone made her shake and gave her some Gained the courage to fight for it...

The cruise ship soon arrived at the shore. Shiya helped Yingxiu get off the boat and got into the carriage. Jinze drove back to Qiao's mansion first. Shao Shuyao was still a little unfulfilled, and dragged Chen Baolin to complain, "It's hard to come out. Going back so soon."

"Why don't we go back and see Sister Yingxiu too." Chen Baolin held the tape that Yingxiu pulled off just now, and Xiaoyuan's face was anxious, Shao Shuyao glanced at her and said angrily, "Go back Let's see what she does, there are so many people in Qiao's residence, how can it be your turn to squeeze in."

Chen Baolin lowered her head and moved her mouth without saying anything, followed Jin Lu and the others into another carriage and returned to Qiao's Mansion.
