Just as Gao Jin was about to leave, his men hurried forward and whispered a few words to him. This subordinate was a young housekeeper of his Gao family, but he recognized Zhang Qingqing, and he also heard that a young man went to the Gao family to propose marriage with a betrothal gift.
Gao Jin's expression changed continuously.
He immediately turned around and sent a message to Ye Ming: "Your Majesty, this beauty is Zhang Qingqing from the Zhang family in Daning. She is an alchemy elder from the Xinghu Sect of Jiangnan Dao. She just came back a few days ago. Su Xing is a disciple of the Xinghu Sect. He’s also her fiancé!”
"What sect is the Xinghu Sect? Are there any Xuanyin monks?"
He turned around and asked another middle-aged man, whose surname was also Ye and his name was Ye San.
He said: "Your Majesty, my fourth brother and I already knew when we came here that Xinghu Sect is one of the four most holy sects in Jiangnan Dao, and the sect leader Zhou Ji is the most holy three steps!"
Ye Ming raised his eyebrows, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and said lightly: "Send someone to keep an eye on her secretly, and wait until we are done. Kill the man and take the woman back to the house!"
Ye San was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to disobey the prince's order, so he nodded.
After a while, the person they were waiting for arrived.
…
After Su Xing walked for a while, he whispered to Zhang Qingqing: "Honey, you are so beautiful. It's a little inconvenient to go shopping like this."
Zhang Qingqing's face turned slightly red, but Su Xing was right and said, "Then let's go back!"
Su Xing disagreed. He finally went shopping like on Earth. How could he go back?
He whispered something more to her.
Zhang Qingqing was so embarrassed when she heard this, Su Xing actually asked her to disguise herself as a man. Just thinking that it would be interesting for a woman to dress up as a man, she nodded excitedly.
Not long after, they found a room in an inn and remodeled the room. Su Xing did it himself.
Su Xing was very attentive to the whole process.
Zhang Qingqing saw that Su Xing actually put makeup on her, and her beautiful eyes were full of happiness. She felt that she was really lucky to have such a lover in her life.
After changing her disguise, Zhang Qingqing looked in the mirror and saw that the man she was pretending to be was handsome and had a mustache. He was better than his previous disguise and looked very tasteful.
"Honey, you are so handsome. If I were a woman, I would definitely throw you into your arms!"
"Poor talk!" Zhang Qingqing was so shy.
At nightfall, they boarded a Zhang family boat.
The Rouge River is quiet and vast, with various types of boat cruises, ancient and exquisite buildings along the river, row upon row of restaurants and shops, traffickers and goons everywhere, and even devout men and women in pairs. It is much more prosperous than the scene depicted in the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" picture.
Su Xing was a little confused and suspected that he was in a dream and not in the so-called parallel world.
Zhang Qingqing was like a tour guide, introducing everything he saw to him like a treasure trove. From time to time, the two maids in the painting served their uncle and young lady with wine, tea, and various fruit preserves.
While Su Xing was enjoying it, he suddenly wanted to become a rich man, have a bunch of children with Zhang Qingqing and Liang Xiaoling in Rouge River, and live a happy and peaceful life.
However, as soon as this idea appeared, he was strangled to death. Because Zhang Qingqing and Liang Xiaoling on Earth are still waiting for him!
After a while, several special painted boats appeared on the river. The painted boats were different from other cruise boats. They had a strong smell of powder.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that these are the boats of the Rouge River girl.
Zhang Qingqing asked: "By the way, Brother Su, whose boat do you want to go to in the Eight Beauties of Rouge?"
When Zhang Qingqing said this, the two maids immediately laughed.
Su Xing didn't care and asked Zhang Qingqing: "Brother Qingshan, is there anything special about this?"
Zhang Qingqing still uses Qingshan's pseudonym.
Zhang Qingqing pretended: "Rouge Eight Beauty is a general title that has been circulated for many years, but every five years, it will be re-selected! As for this year..."
A clever maid answered: "Aunt...it's a coincidence that the two young masters are here, today is the day of the finals of the new Rouge Eight Beauties!"
"What a coincidence!"
Zhang Qingqing was overjoyed.
Su Xing was a little regretful. It turned out that Rouge Bayan was just a title. The specific person would change, and it was different from the one on earth. However, it is great to encounter such a thing, he said: "Then let's go and take a look at this new eight beauty competition first!"
Zhang Qingqing readily agreed.
Not long after, they saw a huge water pavilion in the distance. There seemed to be a stage on the side of the water pavilion facing the river. There were many large and small boats parked in front of the water pavilion, and there were more painted boats and cruise ships heading towards the water pavilion. When they gathered together, the whole place was buzzing with people and it was so lively.
At this time, next to them, there were two painted boats with bows moving in the same direction. Whether it was to compete for the lead or accidentally, they bumped into each other with a bang.
The boat was very large, with four floors. The sides and eaves of the boat were covered with lanterns. It looked magnificent and luxurious. There was also a flagpole standing high with three lanterns hanging on it. There are three big characters respectively: Hua*man*lou. As for the boatmen on the boat, there were only twenty to thirty people visible.
The other painting boat was smaller, with only two floors, and its decoration was very simple. There were only a few lights hung on the bow and deck, and the crew only had five or six people. However, there are several pots of orchids placed on the bow of the boat, which look fresh and elegant. It must be that the owner's cultivation and character must be extraordinary.
The two boats collided fiercely.
The bow and hull of the big boat were obviously made of metal, while the small boat was made of wood. In addition, due to the large height difference, the bow of the big boat directly pressed against the eaves of the second floor of the small boat during the collision.
Gala! Wow!
There was a big hole in the hull of the small boat, which was filled with water. The moment it was pressed by the big boat, it almost capsized.
Some of the boatmen fell into the water, shouting loudly, and some, possibly injured, were angrily cursing the people on the boat. On the first floor of the small boat, a young boatman was shouting towards the second floor:
"Sister Liu, Xiaohong, come down quickly, the boat has been hit!"
In fact, there was no need for him to shout, the people inside already knew what was happening. And this Sister Liu and Xiao Hong are none other than Liu Rushi and maid Xiao Hong.
When Liu Rushi and Xiao Hong collided in the boat, they each fell to the floor.
After finally getting up, the two boats separated quickly, and the small boat suddenly bounced up due to buoyancy, and the two of them staggered and fell again.
Seeing that Liu Rushi was about to hit a corner of the stool, Xiaohong immediately blocked it with her body.
With a bang, Liu Rushi's forehead hit her stomach, and Xiaohong's lower back hit the corner of the stool. She couldn't help but scream in pain. However, seeing that the young lady was safe and sound, she smiled stupidly:
"Miss! Let's get out quickly!"
"But Master Chen hasn't won the Poetry Award and the Vocal Music Award yet!"
Liu Rushi couldn't worry about Su Xing's books, which had been placed in the bedroom these days. He wanted to get some inspiration from this, so Xiaohong followed her.
These books can be bought again, but Liu Rushi wrote a lot of comments and insights on these books, which are very important to her.
Xiaohong said speechlessly: "Miss, what time is it? It's important to save your life first!".
"No, I must get these books!"
When Liu Rushi saw that the maid was not moving, she immediately rushed to the bedroom on her own.
However, a lot of water had entered the boat and it was tilting badly. When she rushed into the bedroom crookedly, the boat started to flip over and capsize.
boom!
boom!
The two men immediately screamed and fell to one side.
Liu Rushi's forehead was still bruised, but she no longer had the intention to think about it. If the boat capsized, she might drown in the room even if she knew the nature of water. What's even more frightening is that she couldn't swim.
She called out to Xiaohong, but Xiaohong fainted and no one responded.
Liu Rushi thought Xiaohong had fallen to death and wanted to get up to check, but the boat was tilted and she fell back as soon as she got up.
"Are you going to die in the boat today?"
Liu Rushi's heart trembled, and her beautiful eyes were full of fear and despair. However, when she took a closer look, a copy of the latest "Chen Xing'er Poetry Award" fell beside her.
"Forget it! With this book as my companion, even death will not be in vain!"
She sighed secretly, picked up the book and held it in her arms, then closed her eyes and waited for the boat to capsize.
However, after waiting for a while, no water entered, and the boat seemed to be back to normal again.
She quickly opened her eyes again. I saw that the boat had really returned to normal, and there was a handsome young man standing in the bedroom. The young man had fair skin and was handsome, especially the two mustaches, which were very attractive.
"The people in Mo are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world."
Liu Rushi thought of this verse instantly.
