It's cold in the courtyard.
The moonlight is cold, and the beauty is even colder.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to delay and went out.
Pearl stood outside the door, stretching her neck to look inside. When she saw him coming out, she immediately snorted from her nose, turned away, and looked away.
When Bai Ling came out, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she flattered her in a low voice: "Sister Bai Ling, you are still the best."
Bai Ling smiled and pointed at the girl holding the sword behind her.
Zhuer understood immediately and quickly added: "Sister Xia Chan is also very powerful."
Xia Chan had a cold look on her face and ignored her.
Pearl didn't dare to say any more, and immediately led the way: "My lady will be here soon. Let's go to the lake and wait."
Xiaodie watched helplessly at the door and did not follow.
She knew that her status was low and she could not get on the ship, so she could only pray secretly in her heart, hoping that the young master would not make the second lady angry, let alone that girl Xia Chan.
Then I thought, I can’t mess with him anyway.
The master and servant had just arrived in the Qin Mansion not long ago. Although everyone was very kind to them, they should know the rules and know their identities.
As a son-in-law, he was laughed at outside, which was very disgraceful, and his status at home was also very low.
If you don't do well, you will be kicked out at any time.
Xiaodie was thinking wildly and returned to the house. With worries about her son and expectations for the future, she continued to work hard and practice embroidery.
She wants to learn to be a female queen, learn to play flute, learn to sing, and learn other skills that maids can know.
She needs to become versatile.
Only in this way will she be valuable and be able to gain face for the young master.
Zhu'er took Luo Qingzhou and the others into the Moonlit Rain Garden, walked to the lake, and waited beside two small boats.
Bai Ling and Xia Chan stood behind Luo Qingzhou, putting a lot of pressure on him.
Zhu'er pointed to the boat on the right and said: "My young lady and Miss Meng will take this boat later. Sister Bailing, sister Xia Chan, you and my uncle will take this one."
Bai Ling walked to the lake, glanced at the boat on the left, suddenly jumped on it as lightly as a colorful butterfly, and said with a smile: "Then there is no need to find a punter, I will punt it." "
With that said, he untied the rope from the bow, walked to the stern, picked up the pennant, and slowly inserted it into the lake.
Judging from his movements, he is quite skillful.
Zhu'er smiled from above and said, "Sister Bai Ling likes to play in water, I know that."
Bai Ling held up his bamboo pen, glanced at someone on the shore, and said with a sweet smile: "I like to play with many things, not just water."
The boat moved slowly.
The surface of the lake rippled, breaking the moonlight and filling the lake with stars.
Bai Ling looked at Luo Qingzhou on the shore and smiled and said, "Uncle, you have to be careful later. Don't fall into the water and make the second lady and the guests laugh."
Pearl's mouth showed a touch of sarcasm and said: "If my uncle is scared later, just sit down and support him, but don't look around and look around, it will be disrespectful."
Luo Qingzhou frowned, looked at her and said, "Don't worry, I won't look at Miss Second and the guests randomly, I'll just look at you."
"Pfft..."
Bai Ling, who was playing in the water with a bamboo pen on the boat, suddenly laughed so hard that the boat under his feet also shook.
"you……"
Pearl's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, angry, annoyed, ashamed and frightened.
Luo Qingzhou heard what she was saying: [This stinky scholar looks so honest and stupid, but he is so courageous. He dares to tease me. When I get back, I must report it to Madam! 】
Luo Qingzhou turned his head away and looked at the sweet girl with bright eyes and white teeth and slight dimples on her face in the lake, and ignored her again.
"snort!"
Pearl snorted coldly, turned away, and ignored him.
Although this guy came as a bride-in-law, after all, there is a difference between master and servant, not to mention that the eldest lady is still here.
Of course she can't go too far.
Not long after, a girl's soft voice came from outside the garden.
"The lady is here."
Zhu'er's eyes lit up and she immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked.
A group of maids and women, surrounded by three girls, slowly walked in from the arch.
One of the girls was supported by a maid. She was delicate, with muscles as bright as snow, and a graceful and graceful appearance. She was slender and graceful. She was wearing a moon-white dress, with a snow-white velvet fur robe covering her whole body. Strictly true.
It was Qin Weimo, the second young lady of the Qin Mansion.
The girl on the left is tall, wearing a thin purple skirt, and has a short knife on her waist. She looks handsome and heroic.
The girl on the right is shorter, but has good proportions. She is wearing a long cyan skirt, her figure looks convex and concave, her face is lightly painted, and her appearance is acceptable.
The three of them were talking and walked toward the lakeside, surrounded by the maids and the old woman.
After seeing the people by the lake, a soft smile appeared on Qin Weimo's face.
The other two girls' eyes fell on Luo Qingzhou, looking up and down curiously, and then asked in a low voice: "Wei Mo, is this your brother-in-law?"
Qin Weimo nodded slightly, with a gentle expression.
The girl on the right frowned slightly and said: "Wei Mo, let's go on a boat to enjoy the moon, and bring a man with us. Wouldn't it be bad?"
Qin Wei smiled and said: "Zixi, my brother-in-law is a scholar. He always studies in the house and rarely goes out. Later, if you have any poems or articles that you don't understand, you can ask him."
The girl on the left said carelessly: "Zixi, there is no need to stick to these red tapes. Just go out and have fun. It doesn't matter if you have a man. Could he still eat you?"
The three of them were talking in low voices and had already come closer.
Qin Weimo first bowed his head slightly to the young man by the lake, called "brother-in-law" softly, and then introduced the two girls beside him.
The girl in purple skirt on the left is named Meng Yulan, and she is the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion.
The girl on the right is named Song Zixi, and she is a young lady from the Song family, one of the four major families in Mocheng.
The two girls have known Qin Weimo since they were children. They studied together in the academy and had a good relationship.
Although Qin Weimo rarely went out after falling ill, the two of them often came to play with her.
"Master Luo."
Both girls greeted Luo Qingzhou.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands, without squinting his eyes, and also greeted them: "Miss Meng, Miss Song."
Bai Ling said crisply on the boat: "Second Miss, it's time to get on the boat. Be careful because the moon will disappear later."
Qin Weimo smiled softly and said, "Bailing, are you going to row the boat yourself?"
Bai Ling sighed deliberately and said: "There is no way, my uncle is seasick. Only my slave can help him not get dizzy."
Meng Yulan on the side asked strangely: "Why is this? Is your boat more stable?"
She had seen the girl on the boat.
The first time she saw her, she was struck by the beauty of this girl, who was said to be just a maid.
Then when I saw Xia Chan, I was even more surprised and curious.
She was very curious about the eldest lady of the Qin family.
But since Miss Qin returned after missing for many years, she has not seen her every time she comes.
Every time I wanted to meet, I was declined.
She thought that the eldest lady was hurt outside and had mental or physical problems, so she didn't see outsiders, so she didn't have the nerve to persist.
But my heart is always curious.
Today, when she saw this beautiful maid with bright eyes and white teeth on the boat under the moonlight, she felt itchy in her heart again.
What kind of young lady can make these two beautiful maids willingly serve her?
Bai Ling held up his bamboo pen and replied with a smile: "My uncle said that I am very beautiful, more beautiful than the moonlight. As long as he looks at me, I will only feel sick, not seasick."
Meng Yulan heard this and smiled: "Really or not? Bai Ling, if it is true, then you have to be careful, your uncle is teasing you."
Bai Ling blinked his clear big eyes, looked at the young man on the shore innocently and asked: "Uncle, is it true? Are you teasing me?"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and didn't look at her.
It is most unwise to argue with a woman.
This girl deliberately embarrassed him and tarnished his image in front of the second young lady and outsiders. Was it revenge for his teasing just now, or was it for the sake of her young lady?
Qin Weimo smiled and said: "Yu Lan, Zi Xi, let's get on the boat."
"good."
Meng Yulan jumped onto another boat first, then stretched out her hand below and said: "Weimo, come on, I'll catch you."
After the three girls got on the boat, Pearl and another maid followed.
Two old ladies also wanted to go up. Meng Yulan waved her hands and said, "You don't have to. Just wait on the shore, or go to the pavilion to drink tea and have snacks. This is the Qin Mansion, what can happen?"
Song Zixi also waved his hand towards the shore.
Another maid with strong skills got on the boat. After untying the rope, she went to the stern of the boat to pick up the pennies and put them into the water.
"Brother-in-law, get on the boat."
Qin Weimo shouted softly to the shore.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at the cold girl behind him who was still standing in the shadow of the willow tree, waiting for her to go up first.
Bai Ling smiled on the boat and said, "Chanchan, my uncle is waiting for you."
Xia Chan had a cold face. Seeing everyone's eyes turned to her, Xia Chan took the sword and walked out from the shadow of the tree. When she walked to the lake, she paused for a moment before jumping on it.
Luo Qingzhou obviously saw her face change slightly, and there seemed to be a trace of panic in her cold eyes.
Is this girl afraid of water?
Luo Qingzhou secretly guessed and jumped up, deliberately using some force.
The boat shook violently as he jumped.
The cold girl standing in front trembled, walked to the middle cabin, and sat down, with her arms folded across her chest and a sword in her arms. Her pretty face was still as cold as ice and snow, but slightly white.
Luo Qingzhou was secretly amused.
"Let's go!"
Bai Ling stood at the stern of the boat and pushed the boat forward.
