Whenever the wedding is celebrated, you must invite your relatives over for a wedding drink.

On the morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, Mrs. Lin's maiden siblings finally came over with a pair of children.

Sisters Fu Rong followed Qiao to greet them.

They belonged to the second room of Marquis Residence. They came back home. The old lady told them to go back to the east courtyard for a rest. They didn't welcome each other grandly. They only met in Wufu Hall to reminisce about the past. This time the Lin family came here but it was different. They were the decent relatives of Dafang. Master Lin was also the weaving department of Suzhou Weaving Department. He was Emperor Jiahe's confidant. Of course, Marquis Residence should be highly regarded. Old ladies don’t like their eldest daughter-in-law. Helplessly, Mrs. Lin's natal family was in power, and she had to be polite to Mrs. Lin by three points.

"Old lady. Be well." Tong's salute to the old lady in Mandarin with a Jiangnan flavor, and motioned for the two children to come forward.

Lin Chuxia, who was fifteen years old, was the year to marry and shouted with a soft voice.

The thirteen-year-old Lin Shaotang followed, and after speaking, he turned his eyes to Fu Bao, hiding his longing. Fu Bao blinked at him with a smile, turned his head and introduced to Fu Rong: "This is my cousin, he is stupid. He can do whatever he wants. Third sister doesn't believe me, just wait and see."

But it was the beginning of the young man's love, and the little girl was still ignorant and ignorant.

Fu Rong whispered, "I listened to you because you are a younger sister, so you won't be like this if you change your person. You are not allowed to bully others."

Look at Fu Rong. Lin Shaotang looks at Fu Bao, a bit like Xu Yan looking at her, with less admiration and more intimacy and nature. Fu Rong quietly glanced at Shen Qing on the opposite side. Seeing that the other's eyes were not on Lin Shaotang, he couldn't help but wonder, wondering how a pair of childhood sweethearts could end up like that.

At the end of the greeting, the Qiao family led the two daughters home first, and asked Mrs. Lin and the others to say something to themselves.

The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival.

Because she was going to watch the dragon boat race by the Dinghe River, Fu Rong got up early and chose a rose-red makeup coat. Her body was not completely clean. In case something happened, the color would not be obvious. Fu Xuan also went, and before leaving, Qiao repeatedly told Fu Chen: "Look at your two sisters. There are many boats on the river bank. Don't go wrong."

Fu Chen smiled and said, "Mother don't worry, the son will definitely keep an eye on Denon."

The implication is that Fu Xuan doesn't have to worry about him at all.

Fu Rong gave him a fierce look.

The three brothers and sisters arrived at the front yard of Marquis Residence, and it was already very lively behind the screen wall.

The children went out to join in the fun. Apart from the Marquis Residence butler following, the most prestigious one was Fu Ding. Fu Family, the third young master Fu You, came back from Xishan Academy for the holidays. A sixteen-year-old boy stood beside Fu Ding, looking like a white poplar, with extraordinary looks. Lin Shaotang came here this time to visit Mr. Xishan Academy, so he stood beside Fu You and talked very happily.

Fu Chen motioned to the two sisters to go to the girl's side and stand, and he smiled and greeted Fu Ding.

Fu Ding looked at the eastern courtyard and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't Shaoqu come?"

Fu Chen said, "He has picked three houses over there, and he wants to visit them."

Fu Ding nodded, "Then let's set off. There are many people leaving the city today. Let's leave early so as not to be stuck at the city gate and wait."

The teenagers led the way out.

There was only one girl left in the yard, and there were four carriages outside the door, one for Fu You, Lin Shaotang, one for the masters’ luggage, and the other two for the girls. The best way to allocate them is to sit in three girls. One is out.

Fu Bao wanted to sit with his cousin Lin Chuxia, and with Fu Rong Fu Xuan. He wanted to say that four people would sit in a car and look at Fu Mi, but couldn't speak. She didn't have to give the flattering Shen Qing a face, Fu Mi was her cousin, she was introverted and withdrawn, Fu Bao couldn't bear to embarrass her.

Fu Rong saw her thoughts and actively invited Shen Qing: "If Sister Shen doesn't dislike it, please take a ride with us?"

Shen Qing and Lin Chuxia are both coquettish girls. It is not easy to speak up in this situation.

Shen Qing knew that Fu Bao didn't like her, and was ready to respond with a smile no matter how embarrassed she was. Hearing Fu Rong's words, she couldn't help feeling grateful and took Fu Rong's hand joyfully: "Okay, okay, three My sister is the best at telling interesting things, and I am not bored along the way."

Fu Rong smiled affectionately, and when he looked up, he saw Fu Bao pouting and staring at her. Fu Rong pretended not to see, and walked outside first.

Lin Chuxia took a look at Fu Rong, shook Fu Bao's sleeve comfortably, and took Fu Mi's hand and said, "Let's go, let's sit in one of the three sisters."

Fu Mi pursed his lips, looked at the hand, and walked forward with his head slightly lowered.

Outside the Marquis Residence, Fu Ding Fu Chen stood in front of a carriage separately. Lin Chuxia glanced at Fu Chen before walking towards the first carriage. The girls were all seated. Fu Ding gave a gesture to Fu Chen. Fu Chen understood, turned on his horse and stood by the Fu Rong sister's carriage.

The mighty road caused many passers-by to stop and watch. They recognized that it was the car of Marquis Jingyang’s family. They all said with emotion: "Fu Family sons are all good-looking. See you, this is the eldest son of the second room. Lost to the long-term son."

There are also people who are curious about the appearance of the Fu Family girls, but it is a pity that the carriage curtain is so tight that it is easy to not let people see the girl inside.

Sure enough, many carriages were blocked in front of the city gate.

Fortunately, Fu Family and his party left early. After a quarter of an hour or so, Fu Chen looked back after leaving the city and saw that there were a lot of people who wanted to jump in the line because of their status. But this is the capital city, a senior official. Marquis is everywhere, and can only queue up honestly.

There is still some distance from Dinghe, and people can already be heard.

Shen Qing said to Fu Rong: "Last year, the Queen of the Dragon Boat Festival also came out to watch the dragon boat race. The three kings of King Kang King An and King Su personally boarded the dragon boat to beat the drums to cheer. Will come out again."

Fu Rong's heart moved and asked, "Which Highness won last year?"

Shen Qing covered his lips and smiled: "King Kang won. I heard that the queen after returning to the palace scolded King An and his Royal Highness, saying that King Kang was about to sink the ship and could win. It was clear that they deliberately released the water. ."

Fu Rong followed with a smile. She had seen King Kang once from afar. She was indeed a big fat man, about the same height as Xu Jin, but she didn't know how many laps he would get fat.

The carriage walked for a while, and finally stopped.

Marquis Jingyang arranged a double canopy painting boat, and the little girls went to the upper attic. Bamboo curtains are hung on three sides of the attic, which not only hides the situation inside, but also ventilates it, which is very cool.

Fu Bao pointed to the buoy in front and said, "Our boat will be there in a while."

The south side of the painting boat was empty, and there was no bamboo curtain to block him. Fu Rong looked at his eyes, and saw that several luxurious painting boats had been parked on both sides of the vast river section, and on the water in the middle, dragon boats lined up side by side. When the game starts, it will go hand in hand.

Fu Rong looked around the shore and saw that there was no ceremonial guard of the emperor leaving the palace, he knew that this time it was only a small comparison, and the royal family would not join in the fun.

A bit disappointed, but it's always good to be able to come out and breathe.

Fu Rong's good mood was not affected at all, and he leaned on the window sill with one hand, enjoying the scenery of Dinghe enthusiastically. The painting boat moved slowly, and the water was gurgling, as if to wash away all the troubles.

The locations of the boats in the provinces have long been reported, and there are officials responsible for maintaining order. The boats of Marquis Residence steadily stopped at the agreed positions, and the anchors fell into the water with a muffled noise.

A little thirsty, Fu Rong reached out to pinch the cherries in the fruit plate.

Before he could touch it, Fu Rong turned his head in doubt, and saw that Fu Bao did not know when he came here, holding the fruit plate in his hand and deliberately not giving it to her.

Fu Rong reluctantly sat up straight and motioned for Fu Bao to sit next to her.

"Who wants you to be close to her." Fu Bao glanced at Shen Qing, who was sitting by the opposite window, and whispered: "I don't like her, and I don't like you playing with her."

Fu Rongqi grabbed a cherry and stuffed it into the mouth. After spitting out the seeds, he asked her, "What did she do to get you bored?"

Fu Bao hummed: "She has provoke me everywhere. Since she was young, she seems to have made no mistakes. The old lady always let me follow her, and I bother her once when I say it. Also, when I was young, the old lady was the most troubled. Like me, she took the old lady to her as soon as she came."

Fu Rong made a fair statement for the old lady: "She lost her mother a long time ago. Of course the old lady loves her more. Why should you compare this to her?"

Just as Fu Bao was about to refute, he suddenly saw a painting boat leaning on the opposite side. The lantern next to the attic was inscribed with a big "Qin" character. He stood up happily, quickly pulled up the bamboo curtain, and shouted at the opposite side: "Yun Yu, you Are you on the boat?"

"Sister, don't make a lot of noise." Lin Chuxia came to persuade.

Fu Bao turned his head and smiled: "It's okay, it's the boat of the Qin family, all acquaintances."

Before the words fell, the curtain on the upper attic on the opposite side was also rolled up, revealing the two men and the woman inside. Because the two painted boats were only three feet apart, they could see each other clearly.

Fu Rong's eyes widened.

Opposite Xu Jin sat on the innermost side of the boat, as if he hadn't seen her, turned his head to look at the river scene, showing only half of his face to the person on the boat.

The relationship between Xu Jin and Guangwei General Mansion...

Fu Rong quickly remembered. General Qin had two sons. Fu Ding is about to marry a grandfather daughter Qin Yunyue. The little girl in front of him who is obviously close to Fu Bao is a second wife, and her mother, the second wife of the Qin family, She is the sister of Concubine Shu and the aunt of Xu Jin.

Xu Jin's art of war was learned from General Qin. That year, when General Qin went to the battlefield, Xu Jin asked for his orders to go with him and made great achievements.

"These are the third and sixth sisters of my second uncle's house, how are they all pretty?" After introducing Lin Chuxia, Fu Bao introduced Sister Fu Rong to Qin Yunyu.

Fu Rong stood straight long ago and smiled at Qin Yunyu: "It turned out to be Sister Qin. I have been listening to the fourth sister mentioning you, but I finally saw it today."

Qin Yunyu was the same age as Fu Xuan. At this time, she stared at Fu Rong in a daze. It took a long time before she returned to her senses, "The third sister is so beautiful."

Her brother Qin Ying couldn't help but look this way. He hadn't caught a glimpse of the figure. Xu Jin suddenly got up and walked to the opposite side, blocking his vision. Stopping three steps away from Qin Yunyu's side, Xu Jin's gaze fell directly on Fu Rong: "My father is Ji Zhou, Master Fu?"

Fu Rong took a mouthful of him in his heart and lowered his eyes and said: "It's my father, I don't know my son..."

Qin Yunyu interrupted with a smile: "This is my fourth cousin, Your Royal Highness Su."

Fu Rong's women hurriedly saluted.

Xu Jin ignored him. Seeing Fu Ding and Fu Chen and others walking out below, Fu Chen was shocked. He smiled lightly, "Master Fu, do you remember this king?"

He was born like a god and immortal, how could Fu Chen forget? Immediately panic said: "His Royal Highness, I didn't know Mount Tai last year, if so..."

Xu Jin raised his hand to interrupt him, and pointed to the painting boat of the Qin family and said, "How many people would you like to sit here?"

The dignified lord opens an invitation, it is an honor, who dares to refuse?

After the two boats approached, Fu Ding and several people jumped over.

Xu Jin had led Qin Ying down long ago.

Girls usually find it difficult to get out, so they are naturally curious and watchful when encountering this kind of thing, and gather by the window and refuse to leave. Fu Rong quietly looked at the few people upstairs and found that except for his sister who had returned to her seat early, Shen Qing, Fu Bao and Fu Mi were all staring at Xu Jin, with mixed emotions. What surprised Fu Rong most was Lin Chuxia, the oldest. But secretly looked at his brother Fu Chen, his face was reddish.

Just about to study it carefully, Xu Jia put down the originally high bamboo curtain with a sullen face, and no one would show it.
