The boat is parked deep in Mirror Lake.
It is as horizontal as a mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky. The boat stopped under the stars and seemed to be floating on them.
Everything is dreamlike, like a landscape painting.
The two women looked like they had stepped out of the painting, standing quietly on the bow. The breeze blows by, and the clothes are fluttering, as if I am going to ride the wind back.
Qin Nan leaned down and held the water in his hand. The lake water in his hand was rippling, one wave after another.
Zhou Xuan sighed secretly, feeling a little pity for Qin Nan.
Both of them are good-looking women. After a conversation, they became close friends, and later they talked about almost everything.
However, Qin Nan has been feeling uneasy since she boarded the boat. After Zhou Xuan asked, Qin Nan also confessed her difficulties.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Are you still worried?"
Qin Nan said quietly: "If sister is in my situation, how should I choose?"
"I will choose to believe Miss Nangong."
The lake water quickly flowed into the lake from the gap between Qin Nan's hands, causing ripples.
Qin Nan quietly stared at the reflection in the lake. The reflection fluctuated under the ripples, making it difficult to see clearly.
She forced a smile: "It is precisely because I chose to believe her that I followed my sister on a night trip to Jinghu Lake. It's just..."
Zhou Xuan said: "It's just that I still can't help but worry."
At this time, the wind stopped and the water was calm, and the stars on the bottom of the lake were shining brightly.
Zhou Xuan looked at the stars at the bottom of the lake and continued: "You can only see the stars when the water is calm. If your mind is not calm, it will naturally be difficult to see clearly."
Qin Nan sighed and said: "Who can truly achieve calmness of mind?"
Zhou Xuan suddenly smiled: "Although Su Shi is not a good person, his talent is indeed impressive."
Zhou Xuan checked Su Shi's background and found that Su Shi was not a good person no matter what standard he used.
When she came into contact with Su Shi, she found that not only was he not a good person, but he was also an old fox.
Still a very talented old fox.
Although Su was only sixteen years old, in Zhou Xuan's opinion, a thirty-six-year-old person might not be as thoughtful as him.
Qin Nan couldn't help but blush when she saw Zhou Xuan suddenly turning the topic to Su Shi. However, when she heard Zhou Xuan teasing Su, she couldn't help but blush and defended: "Most of the things in the past were just rumors and can't be taken seriously. .”
At this time, several dry coughs suddenly came from the stern of the ship. Zhou Xuan looked back at the helmsman at the stern of the ship intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled at Qin Nan: "Yes, I'm afraid you are the only one who understands him in this world."
Hearing Zhou Xuan's teasing words, Qin Nan suddenly sighed: "Actually, I don't understand him either."
Zhou Xuan was slightly startled. Qin Nan looked up at the stars in the sky and said quietly: "Although Su Shi and I have been engaged since we were young, and we played together when we were children. We are childhood sweethearts. But when I was five years old, I went with my father. He went to Jiang'an Mansion and returned to the capital half a year ago. I haven't seen him in ten years, so I don't know what he has become."
Zhou Xuan didn't expect that one of her ridiculing words would make Qin Nan feel so emotional. She forced a smile and comforted him: "Although Su Shi had a bad reputation before, when you really get to know this person, you will find that it was all a misunderstanding." .”
Qin Nan suddenly looked at her with a strange look: "It seems that my sister knows him very well."
Zhou Xuan didn't hide anything and nodded: "I probably know Su Shi better than others."
"Why?" Qin Nan couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Because I want to do a business with him, that's why I investigated him specifically."
This answer was definitely beyond Qin Nan's expectation, because she had never heard that Su Shi could do business.
Not to mention letting Su Shi do business and make money, I believe that the whole general's government would only wish Su Shi not to ruin his family, which would be considered a complete meritorious deed.
Now Zhou Xuan actually wants to do business with Su Shi!
Anyone who hears this cannot help but become suspicious.
"Sister wants to do business with him? What kind of business?" Qin Nan asked doubtfully.
Zhou Xuan sighed: "I want to use the cruise ship in exchange for one of his secret skills."
"This one?" Qin Nan pointed to the small boat they were on.
Zhou Xuan shook his head, pointed to the three-story boat in the distance, and said lightly: "That one."
Qin Nan's mouth opened slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she was speechless for a long time.
Although they were far away from the boat and could only see its vague outline under the starry sky, Qin Nan could still feel the size and magnificence of the boat.
Although Qin Nan didn't know the exact value of this boat, it was definitely higher than many people's imagination.
However, Zhou Xuan wanted to exchange the boat for one of Su Shi's secret skills.
What kind of secret skill makes Zhou Xuan willing to spend such a large amount of money?
Although Qin Nan is not in business, he also knows that allowing a businessman to spend such a large amount of money can only mean one thing.
That is, the secret skill in Su Shi's hands will definitely bring a hundredfold benefit to this businessman.
Qin Nan looked at Zhou Xuan blankly, suddenly very curious about what kind of strange secret skill Su Shi had.
But Zhou Xuan didn't seem to intend to explain, and just looked into the distance silently. Qin Nan also wisely shut his mouth and did not continue to ask further questions.
There was a subtle silence on the boat again, but this silence did not last long. At this time, Qin Nan's face suddenly changed, pointing to the tall and gorgeous boat and said: "Sister, look quickly, the boat seems to be heading towards the shore. Drive away."
The boat sailed towards the lake shore, which meant that the poetry meeting had ended. However, it had just arrived at Xu hour. According to past practice, it would not end until at least Xu hour.
Zhou Xuan seemed to have expected it, and there was no surprised expression on his face. He just said lightly: "It seems that Miss Nangong's plan has been successful."
"Nangong Jing?" Qin Nan was stunned again: "Why do you know that her plan was successful?"
Zhou Xuan pointed to the painting boat sailing towards the lake shore and said, "That is the evidence."
Qin Nan still didn't understand, so he looked at her doubtfully.
Zhou Xuan said slowly: "I originally thought that you asked Su Shilian to write eight poems to test his talent, but after knowing your difficulties, I learned that Miss Nangong asked Su Shilian to write eight poems and there were other reasons. I just want to get you out of your current predicament."
Seeing that Qin Nan was still a little confused, Zhou Xuan continued: "Nangong Jing's plan is to let Su Shi win the top poetry prize in today's Jinghu Poetry Society with these eight poems and shock the literary world in the capital."
When Zhou Xuan said these words, he lowered his voice so low that only Qin Nan could hear it. After hearing this, Qin Nan's eyes lit up and he finally understood what Zhou Xuan meant.
Qin Nan knew the rules of the Jinghu Poetry Society very well. Since the poems were selected anonymously, Su Shi's eight poems would definitely be selected. This would only produce one result, that is, the only person who could enter the second round to compete for the top poem was Su. hour.
Not only did Su Shi become the leader of poetry, but he also produced eight poems that shone in the capital. It was so powerful that it would be difficult for anyone to match him for a while.
More importantly, since Su Shi's talent is so high, it makes sense that no one can match his second line, so Qin Nan doesn't have to worry about the Qin family's reputation being damaged.
