Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rafting
"Brother Xiao-" Cheng Ying beckoned from afar, and the jade flute waved lightly.
"Miss Cheng, I don't know ......" Xiao Yuesheng stepped into the boat and glanced at Cheng Ying, who was calm in front of her, and really didn't know what was going on with her.
"The beautiful scenery of Jiaxing South Lake, the little woman has long been famous, and I want to see it today, I wonder if Brother Xiao can guide her?" Cheng Ying looked at Xiao Yuesheng with a faint smile.
Xiao Yuesheng glanced at the vast lake, in the current season, how could there be any beautiful scenery on the South Lake to watch? He knew that this was just an excuse, Cheng Ying really had something important to say to himself, otherwise, how could he make such an almost abrupt move.
"I can't ask for something to serve Miss Cheng!" he waved his sleeves lightly, surging secretly, and the boat carried the two of them slowly off the shore and headed towards the lake.
Upstairs in the smoke and rain, Yang Guo pinched his cup and looked at the boat that was gradually moving away, and chuckled at Huang Yaoshi: "Grandpa, you have to ask the disciples to be more careful, as if any woman who is close to my eldest brother, in the end, she is not attracted to him, which is really a strange thing." β
Huang Yaoshi laughed, glanced at the distant figure of the disciple, and said with a smile: "Is this really the case?" I don't believe it, these words, I really haven't seen what he is superior to ordinary people, Xiao Ruonan, where is your godfather, tell me." β
His heart was slightly moved, and he followed himself all these years, never mentioning his life's affairs, he guessed that she must have belonged to her heart, but somehow, she was only buried in the bottom of her heart, and she didn't mention it, presumably her heart was also miserable and abnormal, this time I saw the two together, and it was really a bit of a match, but it was a pity that he has now become his grandson-in-law, otherwise, they must be matched together, so as not to be lonely for a lifetime.
Ruonan was also stopped by this question, crooked his delicate jade face, thought about it, and said, "Godfather, he is so good everywhere." β
Huang Yaoshi and Yang Guo both laughed.
"Grandpa, in fact, although the eldest brother is not attentive, but he is very good to his own women, and he takes great care of them, my sisters-in-law are extremely happy, this is also the ability of the eldest brother, the kid is absolutely unattainable, I can only make one person happy!" Yang Guo once again poured a trace for Huang Yaoshi, and sighed with emotion.
"Hmph, it's this kid's luck to meet so many infatuated women, alas, I really don't see how good he is, he can make so many women fall in love with him, isn't it just that his martial arts are stronger!" Huang Yaoshi drank the wine with indignation.
His words had a sour taste, but in fact, they also broke through the key in one sentence.
Beauty loves heroes, it has been the same since ancient times.
The greatest charm of a man is his strength, great power, and for a woman, it is the most fatal attraction, far more than the love of beauty.
Although Xiao Yuesheng has an ordinary appearance, he has unimaginable martial arts, which alone is enough to make a woman's heart move, and although his appearance is not good, his temperament is free and detached, maverick, and has a unique charm, and it is not surprising that women are attracted to it.
"Ruonan, why don't you eat?" Yang Guo saw his daughter holding a bamboo chopstick, staring at a few dishes on the table, but he didn't pick it up, just looked at it, and felt strange in his heart.
"Daddy, it's not delicious, if the man doesn't want to eat it. Ruonan pursed his mouth, replied coquettishly, and put down the bamboo chopsticks with his little hands.
"Isn't it delicious?" Huang Yaoshi asked with a smile, "Which plate is not delicious?"
"It's not delicious!"
Yang Guo picked up the bamboo chopstick, sandwiched a few bites of fish and meat, tasted it carefully, looked at its expression, and appreciated these dishes.
"It tastes good, Ruonan, you're too picky!" Yang Guo swallowed the delicious taste in his mouth and spoke to Ruonan with some reproach.
"Hmph, it's far worse than Xiaofeng's mother!" Yang Ruonan glanced at a few dishes on the table, with disdain.
Yang Guo and Huang Yaoshi were both stunned, and laughed.
Yang Guo shook his head and sighed: "Alas, you little guy, you are all spoiled by your godfather and godmother, and you have become a daughter, so delicious, you even say that it is not delicious! Daddy, when I was a child, I couldn't even eat, and I was extremely happy to be able to eat a nest every day, where can I care if it is delicious or not! You, it's really ......."
"But Daddy, it's really not delicious, I can't eat it. Ruonan lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a low voice, with a coquettish tone.
Huang Yaoshi couldn't bear to see Xiao Ruonan being trained, and opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "Hehe, Miss Xiaofeng's cooking skills are really exquisite, and she is used to eating her cooking, these dishes are like dregs, difficult to swallow, this old man has a deep understanding of this, when Rong'er cooked for me, and later she got married, the food cooked by others is indeed extremely difficult to swallow, no wonder Xiao Ruonan can't eat it!"
When Huang Rong was on Peach Blossom Island, she studied cooking when she had nothing to do, she was smart and unparalleled, and naturally made a handsome and good dish.
Yang Ruonan smiled gratefully at Huang Yaoshi, which made him happy and happy.
Yang Guo glanced at his daughter fiercely: "Then why doesn't your godfather think the food is not delicious? Isn't he also used to eating your Xiaofeng's mother's food?!"
"Hehe, this is the godfather's restaurant, the godfather naturally won't slap himself, saying that the food is not delicious, it's just a stone, he will also say that it is delicious, the godfather's thoughts, I still don't understand?!" Yang Ruonan was not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he saw his father's fierce gaze, he was not afraid at all, and said with a smile.
"Ahh
Yang Ruonan also felt that his godfather was funny when he saw Huang Yaoshi's smile, and then giggled, like the crisp sound of jade beads rolling on a jade plate and Huang Yaoshi's rich laughter were mixed together, lingering endlessly, scattering in all directions, and the birds and birds by the lake seemed to be frightened, and flocks flew up in a daze.
Yang Guo also laughed, Ruonan said, he really said the eldest brother's temper, no wonder when he ate the vegetables just now, his movements were so elegant.
Xiao Yuesheng, who was already very far from the shore, naturally didn't pay attention to the conversation in the Yanyu Building, he was intoxicated by Cheng Ying's elegant temperament at the moment.
The white and elegant face, the bright eye waves, and the faint fragrance made Xiao Yuesheng drunk and slightly drunk.
The boat they were riding in was very small, only two people long, Xiao Yuesheng stood in the center of the boat, so it was much more convenient to control the boat, at this time, he no longer exerted his strength, let the boat under his feet float freely on the sparkling waves, and his eyes kept staring at Cheng Yingxiuya's face.
Cheng Ying held the jade flute, stood quietly on the bow of the boat, and saw Xiao Yuesheng staring at him like this, her jade face was slightly red, and she unconsciously turned sideways, pretending to look at the lake scenery.
The two were very close to each other, she seemed to be able to smell the breath of Brother Xiao on the other side, and suddenly regretted a little in her heart, she invited him to travel with him so abruptly, seeing his bold move, although it was in broad daylight, her heart was still worried.
Xiao Yuesheng found at this time that Cheng Ying's side was so beautiful, with a straight nose, thin reddish lips, deep contours, revealing a clear and delicate atmosphere, shaved shoulders and long neck, extremely elegant.
"Brother Xiao, I heard that you will go to the Guo Mansion to marry Miss Guo tomorrow?" Cheng Ying finally couldn't bear the extremely ambiguous silence, and asked in a soft voice.
Xiao Yuesheng retracted his somewhat compelling gaze and smiled slightly: "Yes, I plan to leave tomorrow." β
After saying that, he didn't say more, still staring at Cheng Ying's turned eyes.
Cheng Ying was slightly panicked by his gaze, his eyes flashed, and he didn't dare to look at him.
And Xiao Yuesheng's slightly aggressive gaze kept chasing her gaze, and the atmosphere on the boat was even more ambiguous.
............
"Didn't Brother Xiao expect Sister Wanyan to be sad?" Cheng Ying stiffened, clenched his jade teeth, raised his eyes flat, and stared at Xiao Yuesheng.
Touching Cheng Ying's slightly embarrassed eyes, Xiao Yuesheng suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was not so unapproachable.
Although her words were a little aggressive, they did not have such a strong momentum when she spoke, and their power was greatly reduced.
"Is this ......?" Xiao Yuesheng groaned slightly, sighed, raised his head to the sky, and smiled a little bitterly: "She naturally won't feel good, but, alas...... This is the end of the matter, we can only move forward, and everything will be fine......"
Cheng Ying didn't say anything, just looked at him with a calm gaze.
In a few words, her mood calmed down a little, and she was no longer embarrassed by the other party's staring at her and couldn't raise her head.
Seeing Cheng Ying looking at him like this, Xiao Yuesheng felt a little weak, but his psychological quality was extremely strong, and when he saw this, he looked back with his eyes, and there was a little love hidden in it.
After all, Cheng Ying is still in the state of mind of a girl, how can she resist such a hot gaze, she will soon be unbearable, her eyes look to the side, and she no longer looks at him, which makes him feel a little melancholy.
The quiet water of the lake is not rippling, and when the boat floats, the water ripples slowly spread and ripple, spreading farther and farther until it is invisible.
The clear water of the lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and even the shadows of the two people standing on the boat are also reflected in it, swaying and twisting in the water waves next to the boat.
Xiao Yuesheng looked at Cheng Ying for a while, his eyes slowly turned around, and the clear weather came into view, the faint moisture between his nose was a faint fragrance wafting in the wind, the figure of the smoke and rain building in the distance was shaking, and the willows on the shore downstairs were harvesting branches, slightly dry and bald, everything was a scene of winter.
"Alas-" He suddenly sighed, turned his back to Cheng Ying, looked into the distance, and said in a rambling voice: "Actually, Xiao is an ordinary person, selfish, greedy, ......"
Cheng Ying looked at Brother Xiao's free and unrestrained figure in every move, and his eyes gradually softened.
"And!" he turned around suddenly, with a lazy, non-caring smile, but his eyes were indifferent and lonely: "As long as I like it, I will become my own!"
Cheng Ying was stunned by the domineering in his words, and looked at him blankly.
"How, it's very selfish, isn't it?Is Miss Cheng a little disappointed?" he Xiao Yuesheng suddenly smiled brightly, with a bit of ridicule.
Two blush quickly climbed onto Cheng Yingxiuya's face, she avoided Xiao Yuesheng's slightly presumptuous gaze, and said softly: "Who is Brother Xiao, what is the matter with Guan Chengying, how can you be disappointed!"
She was a little confused in her heart, she really didn't know if Brother Xiao's words were true or false, his expression changed too quickly, and it was difficult to grasp the real surname.
Xiao Yuesheng just laughed, stopped talking, looked around, and looked at the beautiful scenery intently.
Cheng Ying also lowered his head and clenched the jade flute with both hands, letting the coolness from the jade flute dispel the chaotic thoughts.
The boat was quiet again.
..................
"Miss Cheng, let's sit down and talk. After a long time, Xiao Yuesheng felt a little bored, so he sat down without grace and beckoned Cheng Ying to sit down too.
It's just that the place where he is sitting is in the center of the boat, and if Cheng Ying wants to sit down, he can only jump off the small deck at the bow of the boat and sit next to him.
Cheng Ying is not standing, nor is he sitting, he is in a dilemma, if he stands, let Brother Xiao tilt his head to persuade himself, it is indeed inappropriate, but if he sits, he has to sit next to him, and the distance is a little too close, and there is a suspicion of intimacy.
Seeing that Brother Xiao patted the cotton mattress beside her again, she had no choice but to move the lotus step lightly, walked off the deck, and lowered her head tightly, her face crimson.
Although she felt that her hands and feet were a little weak, she was still elegant, caressing her shirt, and sitting next to Xiao Yuesheng with two slender ** slightly.
The faint fragrance of lotus flowers made Xiao Yuesheng's heart flutter, and then he was slightly drunk, and he glanced at the beautiful woman beside him, who was bowing her head and didn't dare to look at herself.
Her tall and graceful snow neck showed a few touches of crimson, and she was obviously extremely shy in her heart, and the beauty of such a beauty made him can't help but want to touch it.
The two of them sat together like this, looking extremely intimate, Cheng Ying could almost smell Xiao Yuesheng's masculine breath, and the sound of her violent heartbeat must be heard clearly by the other party, making her so shy that she couldn't raise her head.
The inside of the boat seems to have become a confined space, only two people are inside, and there are only two people breathing in the air, and the outside world can no longer affect here.
Cheng Ying suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility in her heart, it was unimaginable that she was so comfortable and quiet with Brother Xiao like this.
"Miss Cheng, you must not just want to question me when you look for me, right?" After sitting quietly for a while, Xiao Yuesheng finally asked again.
Cheng Ying turned his back to him and said in a low voice: "Well, I want to ask you to help a group of Wushuang, she is so pitiful!"
"Wushuang, Miss Lu,...... Alas, the flowing water is ruthless, and the falling flowers are intentional, this is the helplessness that has existed since ancient times, what can Xiao do?!" Xiao Yuesheng is well aware of Lu Wushuang's deep affection for Yang Guo, although he feels sorry for him, but he does not take it too seriously, after all, the emotional matter is too nihilistic, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene.
"Alas-......!" Cheng Ying sighed, thinking of his cousin's pain, and sobered up in the atmosphere of pestering him, "Wushuang knows that Brother Yang will not change his mind, but he is still infatuated and refuses to forget Brother Yang, and he is depressed and unhappy, which is really worrying!"
Xiao Yuesheng glanced sideways at her, her white and delicate skin made him have the illusion that he could blow a bullet.
"Emotional matters are the most difficult, only you understand in your heart, others are difficult to figure out, you should enlighten her more, let her forget Yang Guo!" Xiao Yuesheng had already vaguely guessed Cheng Ying's mind in his heart, but he couldn't agree, so he could only seal her mouth first.
"Could it be that Wushuang really doesn't have a glimmer of hope?" Cheng Ying turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuesheng with a clear gaze.
Xiao Yuesheng shook his head and chuckled: "It seems that you still don't know much about my second brother's surname. β
He turned his head and looked into the distance: "The second brother's surname is good to go to extremes, once he falls in love with a person, he will live and die, for a lifetime, he only loves her alone, not like me, he loves this person and that person, he can love several people at the same time, he is heartless." β
He retracted his gaze into the distance, turned around, and looked at Cheng Ying's white and delicate face: "Your cousin Wushuang girl is indeed a good woman, the second brother is young and handsome, and he likes women very much, but it's a pity that he has a master, and he can only live up to the Wushuang girl!"
"Can't you make him marry another wife like you?" Cheng Ying hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yuesheng shook his head slowly, looked at Cheng Ying's eager gaze, and said with a wry smile: "This matter is absolutely impossible!"
Seeing Cheng Ying's disappointed expression, he sighed: "Alas...... , Their husband and wife have too deep feelings, even their own daughter, they are also in the way, and they are left by my side, do you think he can marry another woman?"
Cheng Ying was silent, there was still a glimmer of hope, and when he heard that he had left his daughter, his heart was completely dead.
Xiao Yuesheng has a very good impression of Xiaolongnu in his heart, not the kind of love between men and women, but a kind of love for seeing beautiful flowers.
But he has a kind of respect for the true feelings between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, and he doesn't want to blaspheme it, so he never has any other thoughts, just pure appreciation and liking, Xiaolongnu's ice posture is stunning, and men don't like it, so it's not normal.
Xiaolongnu's surname is cold, that is, to Yang Guo, although the love in her heart is deep, the form is still faint, and she is always indifferent to others!
But for this uncle, she is very different from others, and she seems to be extremely patient.
Xiao Yuesheng always likes to tease a woman who is as cold as frost and make her break off her cold coat, which is also a desire to conquer.
For Xiaolongnu, he is no exception, he always likes to tease her to talk more, Xiaolongnu respects this uncle abnormally, and will naturally succeed him, so the relationship between the two is also excellent.
Wanting Xiao Yuesheng to persuade Yang Guo to marry another wife was Cheng Ying's naΓ―ve mind, and it was also her worry and helplessness.
Don't say that it is for Xiao Yuesheng to persuade Yang Guo, even if Yang Guo really wants to marry another wife, Xiao Yuesheng will try his best to stop it, so as not to make Xiaolongnu sad, this kind of behavior of only allowing the state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light lamps, he is also justified in doing it.
"Actually, there is no fragrant grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower! Instead of letting them hold their fantasies, it is better to start from scratch and add new branches!" Xiao Yuesheng said this without pain, and it was extremely vulgar.
Cheng Ying sighed, and secretly glanced at Xiao Yuesheng, saying it lightly, it was as easy as this, Li Mochou back then, for the sake of love, went into the evil path, how many killings he created, if he could really forget it like this, how could there be so many grievances in the world.
Xiao Yuesheng looked at Cheng Ying's frowning and helpless appearance, with some pity, and said softly: "Miss Cheng, everyone has their own fate, and there is no need to force it, besides, if you have something in your heart, it is much better than those who are muddy and have not loved her, just let Miss Lu open her mind and love to the extreme, she will naturally forget herself, and she will not account too much!"
These words were quite proud, which impressed Cheng Ying.
She glanced up at him, swept a few strands of hair next to her sideburns, smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Yes, love to the extreme, and don't care about your own gains and losses." β
Xiao Yuesheng smiled, but in his heart he knew that he was just talking, love itself is a kind of selfish feeling, how can he not care about gains and losses?
"I have an idea for Miss Cheng to refer to. Xiao Yuesheng thought for a while, raised his head and said to Cheng Ying.
"Oh, there is a way?" Cheng Ying was like a drowning man, grabbing a floating grass.
"I can make Miss Lu live in my house temporarily, although I can't make her wish come true, but I can also relieve the pain of lovesickness, and there are many people in my house, so I can also solve her loneliness. When Xiao Yuesheng said this, he also made a great determination.
If Lu Wushuang lived in Guanlan Villa, he would inevitably be complained by his second brother, and besides, if there was a person in the courtyard who was not his wife and concubine, it would also be in the way, and he would not be able to have fun as before, which was really a great sacrifice for him.
This is to see Cheng Ying so worried about his cousin, and even dared to come to himself for help, it is really admirable, so he made such a sacrifice.
Of course, when Lu Wushuang stays, her cousin will naturally live with her, and it is also a pleasure to see Cheng Ying, an elegant and beautiful beauty, every day, and he naturally likes it.
Things are not good for him, and he will not do them.
"This ......" Cheng Ying was a little hesitant and a little at a loss, she really didn't expect Brother Xiao to say this.
Xiao Yuesheng turned his head and leaned down to look at the fish swimming in the deep water of the lake.
Because of his ban, in the South Lake, no one fishes, here becomes a paradise for fish, more than ten years, more and more fish in the water, bigger and bigger, magnificent, but also a scene to visit the South Lake.
"Brother Xiao, I'll go back and discuss with my cousin to see what she thinks. Cheng Ying did not categorically refuse in the end.
Xiao Yuesheng nodded lightly, looking at the swimming fish in the depths of the lake, thinking of Xiaofeng's gentle and delicate face like water, and happy in his heart, the elegant beauty in front of him faded a little bit of color in his eyes, which made him a little surprised.
"Let's go back......" he began, looking at the sky.
"Hmm......" Although Cheng Ying felt a little stunned, she could only agree.
So a flat boat, carrying a man and a woman, slowly headed towards the south embankment......
