Ye Qing looked at Zhang Xiuran's eyes filled with venom, without any hesitation, and nodded silently.
Ye Qing couldn't imagine how much power the Gong family had in Jinling, where Huaiyang was located.
But Ye Qing knew that offending the Gong family was no different from seeking death.
But Zhang Xiuran said that he had to do it even if he was doomed.
Ye Qing owed it to him.
Dudu~
The boiling tea made a pleasant sound.
Zhang Xiuran poured the tea and put it down on the wooden tray. Suddenly, he looked at Ye Qing with interest and said:
"What do you think of Miss Shangguan?"
Ye Qing paused for a moment and thought of Shangguan Lanxi's smile just now. He said from the bottom of his heart:
“A smile can captivate a city, and another smile can captivate a country.”
The words came out well, making Zhang Xiuran full of confidence in the next thing. At the same time, he looked at Ye Qing with admiration and said seriously:
"Hahaha, Ye Qing, I really belong to you. What this poem says is true."
The next moment, he asked unexpectedly:
"How does my Wanqing compare with Miss Shangguan?"
Ye Qing said directly without hesitation:
"There are thousands of flowers, all different."
Zhang Xiuran, who was very satisfied with Ye Qing's answer, stood up with the tray and said softly:
"The surname is Shangguan. There is only one Shenqi family, so you have to take good care of it."
After saying that, Zhang Xiuran walked slowly outside.
Ye Qing frowned, something about the surname Shenqi Shangguan appeared in his mind, and he murmured:
"Sister-in-law? Phoenix man?"
"Don't say I don't want to, even if I do."
"How can a being like Shangguan's family look down on me!"
Shangguan Lanxi's beautiful face appeared in her mind again.
His slender hand covered his heart, feeling his heartbeat.
He shook his head and said: "Beautiful women are rare. It's a pity. I absolutely can't have any inappropriate thoughts."
Ye Qing, who was very aware of his status, stood up and quickly followed Zhang Xiuran and walked out.
They didn't notice that in the cabin, behind the screen of the wooden couch where the two of them were sitting.
A handsome young man, as rich as jade, was sipping tea carefully and silently.
After the two left.
Dan Dan put down the tea cup in his hand, his eyes flashed and he said:
"For Gong Jia Linzi to treat you so seriously, Zhang Xiuran, you are really unexpected."
"Zhang, could it be that the divine Zhang family is here?"
"But Zhang Xiuran, I have never heard of you. Could it be that you are a side branch of the unknown concubine of the Zhang family?"
Shan Dan thought about it and found that there was no Zhang Xiuran in his memory about Zhang.
However, to have Mo Wanqing, Shenqi Mo's favorite, follow him all day long, he must not be an unknown person.
But no matter how hard he checked, he couldn't find out Zhang Xiuran's true identity, which really made Shan Dan avoid it.
Think of this.
Shan Dan stood up, looked at the obedient maid beside him and said:
"Stay here, find the right opportunity, and when there is no one around, invite Gong Yuxiu to talk to me."
"Yes, sir."
After the maid agreed, Shan Dan left quickly.
On the third deck of the boat.
Because she was afraid of disturbing Shangguan Lanxi, Gong Yuxiu asked her attendants to stand at the entrance to the third floor and prohibited others from coming up.
The three of them climbed up and looked into the distance, admiring the beautiful spring scenery.
Gong Yuxiu looked at Shangguan Lanxi with a sweet smile on her face fondly, and said softly:
"Sister Lanxi, can you be inspired by such beautiful scenery?"
Shangguan Lanxi shook his head and said humbly:
"Brother Yuxiu is here, how can Lanxi do whatever he wants to do?"
"Lan Xi's reputation as Jinling Linzi is like thunder in Kyoto."
Just when Gong Yuxiu was about to humble herself and continue to persuade Shangguan Lanxi to compose a poem.
Zhang Xiuran walked up carrying tea with a roar.
"Come, come, Wanqing, let's have some tea."
"Lan Xi, you should also try the tea from Huaiyang and feel the unique rain flower tea from Huaiyang."
"Thank you!" Shangguan Lanxi bowed dignifiedly and politely, and then took the tea.
When Mo Wanqing picked up the tea cup, she said softly:
"You don't have to be so polite to Zhang Xiuran, he is me."
Qin Se and Ming's words filled Zhang Xiuran's eyes with tenderness.
The Shangguan Lanxi elf shook his shoulders strangely, pretending to be disgusted, and joked:
"Ah, this tea is so sweet. Even before I drink it, it feels too sweet to swallow. Wanqing, what should I do?"
As he said that, Shangguan Lanxi winked playfully at Mo Wanqing.
The jade fingers with thin calluses on the fingertips lightly poked the smooth forehead.
Mo Wanqing's eyes showed a trace of anger and said:
"Playful."
"Hee hee hee!"
Shangguan Lanxi smiled, raised his sleeves and took a sip of tea.
His eyes also caught sight of Ye Qing, who was following Zhang Xiuran with a gentle smile but remained silent.
When the girl fell in love at first sight, her heart beat wildly, and her eyes were filled with ignorant shyness and exploration.
Ye Qing was a little overwhelmed.
Especially Zhang Xiuran's words made him even more unable to look directly into the girl's pure apricot eyes.
Ye Qing turned his head away and looked at the lush woods beside the river bank.
Shangguan Lanxi only thought of this handsome and gentle man, as shy as a woman.
Thinking back to the time when I met Ye Qing, apart from hearing him compose a poem when boarding the ship, and then greeting everyone on the first deck, he had been silent.
Shangguan Lanxi couldn't help but think wildly: "Master Ye is so taciturn, wouldn't he like to talk a lot?"
The Huaichun girl living deep in the boudoir accidentally meets the husband she describes in her heart, and will not think about her family background.
I can only think about what kind of woman this sweetheart who has touched my heartstrings likes, is she like me? How can I attract him?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Lanxi made up her mind to speak less and keep everyone's ladylike dignity.
Shangguan Lanxi, who was inexperienced in world affairs, had emotions written all over his face.
It was easily seen through by several people in the room.
The bohemian Zhang Xiuran’s smile grew wider.
Mo Wanqing, who was as cold as an iceberg, frowned slightly with worry.
Gong Yuxiu, who was as gentle as jade, had a little more darkness in her eyes.
Ye Qing, who felt uncomfortable with the beauty, subconsciously clenched his hands under the wide-sleeved robe, and his gentle smile was a bit far-fetched.
He was never used to it and didn't know how to get along with women. He felt uneasy and would rather deal with those old foxes like Chen Yuming now.
An innocent girl touched the heartstrings of four other people.
Shangguan Lanxi, who tried hard to remain reserved and dignified, sipped Yuhua tea in small sips.
After a few breaths.
She suddenly realized that no one was speaking.
The little deer's heart was pounding, and it was even more exciting in an instant.
Her round, almond-shaped eyes began to blink at Mo Wanqing, and her eyes kept signaling.
Mo Wanqing, who knew it well, had confusion in her eyes and her brows furrowed slightly.
Shangguan Lanxi, who was anxious in her heart, looked at her close friend and pursed her lips toward Ye Qing.
But Mo Wanqing was indifferent.
When Gong Yuxiu saw this scene, her eyes fell on Ye Qing and she examined him carefully.
Zhang Xiuran took a step forward without leaving any trace, blocked Ye Qing, and met Gong Yuxiu's eyes with a smile.
Snapped!
The mountain water silver fan in her hand was opened, blowing the breeze on the deck impatiently, making the lavender gauze clothes keep rising and falling.
With a look on her face that didn't deserve a beating, Gong Yuxiu rubbed her gauze sleeve with her right hand out of habit.
Just when Shangguan Lanxi couldn't help but want to talk to Ye Qing.
Tap!
Soft footsteps sounded from the stairs.
Everyone looked over.
Gong Yuxiu's eyes were filled with joy and she spoke with great respect:
"I've met eldest sister."
A graceful figure appeared in front of everyone.
