He Wenqian lowered her head: "I didn't mean that..."
Xu Qingmo did not speak anymore, but began to play chess with He Wenqian seriously. Xu Qingmo's chess moves were always fierce and dangerous. Halfway through the chess game, He Wenqian began to sweat profusely. Xu Qingmo was not in a hurry and looked at her from time to time. outside the window.
Meng Hetong's boat had already reached the middle of the lake. Xu Qingmo looked at it and suddenly had the idea of beating him.
At this time, Meng Hetong, who was drinking tea on the boat, was not only bored, but also felt cold. He looked at He Jinshan in front of him, and then said: "The spring in Hangzhou is quite cold!"
He Jinshan smiled, and then said: "It's quite cold. When we first arrived in Hangzhou, we also felt cold. Later, after staying in Hangzhou for a long time, we got used to it, and it felt okay!"
Meng Hetong stood up and walked to the deck. Yusheng quickly stepped forward holding an umbrella.
Then, He Jinshan followed, and the two well-dressed young masters stood in the rain, feeling the cold spring wind in the south of the Yangtze River: "Master He, what do you think of this scenery?"
Meng Hetong didn't expect to go on a cruise today, so he was wearing thin clothes. Now he clenched his hands because of the cold, but when he spoke, he still tried his best to appear calm. At least, his voice could not shake.
He Jinshan looked back at Meng Hetong, and then said, "What does the prince think of my sister?"
"Miss He?" Meng Hetong's eyelids twitched, "Miss He is gentle and generous, somewhat similar to Mrs. He!"
He Jinshan paused, and then said with a smile: "The prince is probably used to the worldly people in the capital. My sister was raised in a boudoir since she was a child. My mother was very strict in her upbringing. She has never been to the capital a few times, and she has never seen the world. Such a wonderful person!"
Meng Hetong didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"Although it may seem a bit embarrassing to say this, I still want to ask the prince, if you have no intention of having any intention towards your sister-in-law, you can be more decisive. My daughter's family will inevitably have illusions!" He Jinshan looked straight at it. Meng Hetong said word for word.
Meng Hetong looked at He Jinshan for a long time, and then asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell others what I said? By then, the daughter of your He family will become a laughing stock!"
"The prince can be such good friends with Mo Mo and his cousin Yanquan, and he is a trustworthy person. What's more, if the prince spreads this matter out, our family will lose people, and the prince will lose his character. , it is inevitable to be squeezed by others!" He Jinshan looked at the lake and said softly.
"Then have you ever thought that maybe your mother also hopes that your sister can enter the Marquis Mansion?" Meng Hetong said helplessly, remembering what he accidentally heard while hanging on the tree this morning.
He Jinshan paused and then sighed: "My sister has rarely gone out since she was a child. Her mother raised her very well, but she has always felt that her appearance is not outstanding enough. Although she doesn't say it, when she meets I always become timid when dealing with other people’s girls!”
"It's always like this for people. When faced with their own shortcomings, they will inevitably have thoughts of fear and resistance!" Meng Hetong smiled, "It seems that many people think Xu Qingmo is excellent, but in fact, her embroidery skills are terrible. It’s a mess, no one is perfect, it’s inevitable!”
When He Jinshan heard Meng Hetong mention Xu Qingmo, he couldn't help but said: "Mo Mo is different from most other girls' families!"
Meng Hetong didn't want to hear He Jinshan's opinion on Xu Qingmo, so he brought the topic back: "As for Miss He, I will be as decisive as possible, but my daughter's family is inevitably delicate, and I don't want to hurt her too much!"
He Jinshan raised his hands to Meng Hetong: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When the boat went back, Meng Hetong breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. He Jinshan took the lead to go back to make tea. Meng Hetong stood there, looking at the teahouse not far away, and said coldly: "I was afraid that what I said just now was careless. He was kicked directly by He Jinshan!"
Yusheng held an umbrella, looked at the lake under the boat, and said quietly: "Didn't you tell me that the water in the Spring River is warm? It would be good to go for a swim!"
Meng Hetong glanced at Yusheng coldly: "I think you've been a bit in need of a beating lately!"
Yusheng looked forward firmly: "I was wrong!"
Just when Meng Hetong was about to teach Yusheng a lesson, He Jinshan asked him to go back to drink tea, and Yusheng escaped.
Xu Qingmo, who was sitting in the teahouse, also noticed the boat turning back, looked at He Qianwen opposite, and said, "They are back!"
He Qianwen looked up suddenly.
Xu Qingmo looked at the chess game in front of him. He Qianwen had no way out. This was already a dead game for her. However, she refused to admit defeat, and then followed the trap Xu Qingmo had laid in advance, step by step. Go inside.
"You have already lost!" Xu Qingmo looked at He Qianwen, "There is no shame in losing to me. When we were in the capital, there were very few people who could beat me in the chess game. You are already very good at playing with me for so long. !”
He Qianwen was a little frustrated: "I know that I will definitely lose, but I am not willing to accept it. I am not willing to lose like this..."
"You chose my strengths to compete with me. It is inevitable that you will lose. There is nothing surprising!" Xu Qingmo put down the black piece in his hand and took a sip from the tea beside him. "If you want to compete with me in painting or embroidery, Then I must be no match for you!"
He Qianwen fell silent and was speechless for a long time.
"It's a good way to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses!" Xu Qingmo said suddenly.
When He Wenqian looked up, Xu Qingmo was still looking outside, as if he was not talking to her: "If you were me, what would you do?"
"If I were you?" Xu Qingmo slowly turned back to look at He Wenqian. She thought about it carefully and then said, "Then I will decide whether I really want to get married. If there is a second option besides getting married, If there is only one road, I will take that road, but if there is only one road, I will find a way to make this road a broad road!"
"My parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, I have no choice!" He Wenqian lowered her head, her eyes filled with despair.
"Then you have to give it a try. If I were you, I would choose to marry low!" Xu Qingmo suddenly said, "I have a dowry in hand and caring servants by my side. Why bother to talk down to others? Find someone who is easy to bully. People, why don’t you live a more comfortable life?”
He Wenqian looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then suddenly asked: "Have you ever liked someone?"
At that moment, Xu Qingmo's mind suddenly flashed back to the image of Meng Hetong sitting in front of her tombstone chattering away. She was startled, and then she remembered the prince for whom she had sacrificed everything: "Yes!"
