"Then you can get out." Xu Fengmi tilted his head: "You should know that you are not welcome here."
"Miss Xu, you shouldn't do the thing of occupying the magpie's nest." Xu Zhiqin said it truthfully.
But Xu Fengmi smiled: "Yes, Miss Xu, you did not do the right thing about occupying the magpie's nest."
Xu Zhiqin shook his head: "Miss Xu, if you continue like this, I think our conversation should be terminated."
"Xu Zhiqin." Xu Fengmi looked at her with her chin propped up, and said meaningfully: "You should know that I come from the capital. Although there is a saying that 'a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake,' but who is the dragon and who is the snake?
, it’s hard to say, what do you think?”
Xu Zhiqin smiled lightly: "I don't understand what Miss Xu means."
"In Xingyang, the Duan family is the snake." Xu Fengmi fiddled with the lid of the teapot and said slowly: "Every other aristocratic family has to lean back. I say this, do you understand?"
Xu Zhiqin's heart skipped a beat. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and forced a smile: "I still don't understand."
She stared at Xu Fengmi for a long time, and then stood up and said politely: "Miss Xu, I'm leaving first, sorry for bothering you."
After Xu Zhiqin left, Xu Fengmi suppressed the impatience on his face and looked thoughtful.
The summer in Xingyang is not too hot, far less hot than that in Beijing.
Suddenly, Duan Shuangsheng wanted to gather everyone to go on a lake tour. The location was Wanmei Lake in the south of the city. It was said that there was a pavilion in the center of the lake where you could have tea, watch a show, escape the summer heat, and enjoy the scenery.
All the younger members of the Duan family will go, including cousin Du Mingqi, and "guest" Xu Fengmi, and of course, "cousin" Xu Zhiqin is indispensable.
Taoyao Xiaozhu.
"Girl, does Xu Fengmi really know?" Xu Zhiqin's confidant maid looked worried: "But if she really knows, what should we do?"
Xu Zhiqin looked at herself in the mirror and said calmly: "Whether she knows it or not, she will inevitably die."
This is about solving people's problems.
The maid asked, "Why didn't the girl take action in the first place?"
"Idiot." Xu Zhiqin was far less elegant and elegant than usual. At this moment, she was cold and treacherous: "The situation at that time was not good for me. Once I took action, there was a risk of being discovered. Besides, there was no good time at that time.
.”
She said with a smile on her lips: "I did not propose this trip to the lake. Even if something happens, my suspicion will be greatly reduced."
"What are you going to do, girl?"
"Come here with your ears."
At the end, Xu Zhiqin raised her hand and stroked the luxurious red hairpin in her bun, looked at herself in the mirror, and murmured: "She must die, she must die. I am the cousin of the Duan family, I am."
On the day of the lake tour, Xu Fengmi got on the carriage and headed to Wanmei Lake with the Duan girl.
The carriage was very big, and all the girls from the Duan family were there. Duan Lusheng, Duan Shuangsheng, Duan Xuesheng, Xu Fengmi, and Xu Zhiqin sat down, and it didn't seem crowded at all.
All the gentlemen went there on horseback.
Xu Fengmi lifted the curtain and took a look at the sky outside, guessing that it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
It's time for the heat to begin to dissipate.
"Ami, let me tell you, the tea and snacks at Wanmei Lake are simply outstanding." Duan Shuangsheng chirped, "I guarantee they are more delicious and special than what you have eaten in the capital."
As she spoke, she began to shake her head: "I don't know how many people want to go to the center of the lake every day."
Xu Fengmi smiled: "I didn't make it to the Juju competition last time, but this time I came to have tea and watch a show, so I made up for it."
"What kind of compensation is this?" Duan Shuangsheng said sternly: "Don't worry, next time there is a kickball competition, I will definitely take you to see it and let you enjoy it."
Basically, Duan Shuangsheng was talking, Xu Fengmi answered, Duan Lusheng occasionally interjected a few words, and Duan Xuesheng just watched and listened eagerly.
The one or two words Xu Zhiqin occasionally said were simply ignored.
Duan Lusheng has always disliked her. Duan Shuangsheng had interacted with her before, but now because of the awkward situation, he didn't want to talk to her. Needless to say, Duan Xuesheng.
When Xu Zhiqin saw this, he lowered his eyes, looking disappointed.
When Duan Shuangsheng saw it, she couldn't help but feel soft. She said: "Zhiqin, I have chosen a boat for you to visit the lake this time. It's very beautiful!"
Xu Zhiqin looked up at her and smiled shyly: "Thank you Shuangshuang."
Xu Fengmi was puzzled: "Why did you choose a boat?"
Duan Shuangsheng said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you. The rules of Wanmei Lake are that guests must take a boat to the center of the lake alone, and only after their identity is verified can they board the lake."
"alone?"
"Yes." Duan Shuangsheng continued: "That is, one person and one boat."
Xu Fengmi raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Duan Shuangsheng hugged her and assured her again and again: "Don't worry, I have made arrangements. I have personally inspected the boat. There is no problem. The boatman is also a reliable person."
"One more thing." Duan Lusheng interrupted: "The servants can only wait in the teahouse on the shore. They cannot get on the boat or go to the center of the lake."
Xu Fengmi looked surprised: "Are there so many rules?"
"Otherwise what do you think?" Duan Shuangsheng said with a smile: "There are many rules and it is very troublesome, but even so, there are still many people flocking to it. Wanmei Lake only accepts a hundred guests a day!"
Hearing what she said, Xu Fengmi became more and more curious about Wanmei Lake.
Soon, the group arrived at Wanmei Lake.
Xu Fengmi stood on the shore. She couldn't help but click her tongue as she looked at the greenery on the lake.
Duan Shuangsheng came over and said proudly: "You haven't seen it before, right?"
Xu Fengmi shook his head honestly: "I really haven't seen it before."
The shore of Wanmei Lake is completely planted with dense willow trees. There are many lotus leaves floating on the lake and are also decorated with lotus flowers. From a distance, the center of the lake is also a mass of green.
Xu Fengmi pointed to the center of the lake and said, "That's a pavilion? I think it's an island."
Duan Shuangsheng chuckled: "It's really a pavilion, but a very big pavilion. The pavilion is full of green flowers, plants and trees."
"Will there be snakes?" Xu Fengmi asked the key.
Duan Lusheng came over and said, "The pavilion is managed by dedicated personnel. There won't be any snakes, ants, mosquitoes, etc. Don't worry."
Several boats docked, with a groom standing on the bow.
Duan Shuangsheng looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone, please get on the boat."
"Aren't there different ships? Which ship corresponds to whom." Xu Fengmi was a little confused.
Duan Shuangsheng: "Everyone else is here casually. I have arranged for you, Zhiqin, and Xuesheng. It's your first time here for you and Zhiqin, and the boatmen you're paired with are experienced veterans and won't push you around."
, and Xuesheng is in poor health, so she can’t sleep.”
Xu Fengmi nodded: "That's it."
She boarded the ship arranged by Duan Shuangsheng.
Everyone got on the boat.
"How about it? The scenery is nice, isn't it?" Duan Shuangsheng looked at Xu Fengmi who was looking around, and said with a smile: "It looks even better when you look out from the pavilion."
Xu Fengmi exclaimed: "It's really good."
The blue sky, white clouds, clear water, and the large clusters of green trees and red flowers are very eye-catching. There is also the fragrance of flowers in the wind, which is really nice.
