Jiang Honghe loved beauties the most. When he was young, he traveled around the world. Apart from performing chivalrous acts, the most he did was admire handsome young chivalrous people. Otherwise, he would not have brought He Congyi back to Luoxia Water Village and got married early.
She pulled Xie Lanyi to sit down and said kindly: "Lanyi, Qiongyu Tower and Shuizhai are so close, so you don't come to see me and your senior brother often. Look, we haven't seen each other for how many years."
Xie Lanyi smiled: "There are so many things in Qiongyu Tower. I have to deal with the affairs in the building, so I don't have any free time. Besides, senior brother and senior sister-in-law are the immortal couple, and I won't be disturbing them if I come here."
Speaking of which, He Congyi and Jiang Honghe fell in love and were about to get married soon after they met.
Jiang Honghe was the only heir of Luoxia Water Village and could not marry into Qiongyulou. He Congyi decided to marry into Luoxia Water Village without much thought.
Anyway, the two of them really love each other, no matter who marries whom, as long as they can be together.
So He Congyi, who had just become the poster for two years, passed the post of poster to Xie Lanyi and married into Luoxia Shuizhai.
Back then, He Congyi, as the owner of Qiongyu Pavilion, had unparalleled piano skills and attracted numerous fans.
In order not to cause trouble, neither Qiongyu Tower nor Luoxia Water Village made any big fuss. They only invited a few close people and completed the wedding in a low-key manner.
Hearing what Xie Lanyi said, He Congyi, who was originally a little jealous, felt a little guilty.
At that time, Xie Lanyi was just a teenager, and he had to be the head of the first floor. The burden was indeed too heavy.
He Congyi said: "Junior brother, you should have a good rest in the water village these days. Fu'er's martial arts competition to recruit a bride may be a bit noisy. How about I arrange for you to live in Jiangxinzhou?"
Qin Qinghong glanced at He Congyi. This man really didn't understand his junior brother. Xie Lanyi came just for the fun.
Xie Lanyi did not reject He Congyi's kindness. After all, Jiang Xinzhou had the best scenery.
He smiled and said: "Where has this little girl Fu'er gone? I haven't seen her in several years."
Jiang Honghe smiled and said: "Ye Pingting, the young owner of Zhujian Villa, came to the water village. She and Fu'er are close friends and they are playing together."
"She didn't know Lan Yi that you would arrive at the water village so soon, otherwise you would be waiting eagerly."
Xie Lanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, "I didn't expect Miss Ye to be here. I asked her to make a sword a while ago, so I just wanted to ask how the progress was."
There will be a competition to recruit a bride tomorrow, and Jiang Honghe and his wife still have many things to do. They chatted for a while and then asked Duan Lingping to take Xie Lanyi to Jiangxinzhou to rest.
Duan Lingping is Jiang Honghe's apprentice. He is said to be an apprentice, but in fact he is almost like an adopted son. He was raised under Jiang Honghe's knees when he was five or six years old, and he and Jiang Furui grew up together since childhood.
Jiangxinzhou is a small island naturally formed in the Xiajiang River. It is not connected to Luoxia Water Village, so you need to take a small boat to get there.
Qin Qinghong jumped into the boat first, then reached out to help Xie Lanyi.
When Duan Lingping saw this scene, he felt something unusual.
He looked carefully at Qin Qinghong. He was just a mediocre person who had just entered the second-rate class. How could he win Xie Lanyi's favor?
However, Duan Lingping was not stupid enough to show it and picked up his pennies to punt the boat.
The water in this water area is not too deep, and many lotus flowers are planted there. It is midsummer at this time, and most of the lotus flowers have bloomed and faded, producing full lotus fruits.
Qin Qinghong picked a few lotus pods, peeled off the lotus seeds and put them on the handkerchief, and then handed them to Xie Lanyi.
Now he is quite skilled at this kind of job of serving people.
Xie Lanyi twisted a lotus seed and put it in her mouth. The lotus seeds in this season are suitable for eating raw. They are sweet, crisp and tender, with sweet juice and full of fragrance of lotus leaves.
"Try it too."
As he spoke, he twisted a lotus seed and stuffed it into Qin Qinghong's mouth.
This was not the first time that Qin Qinghong was stuffed with food by him. He was no longer as at a loss as the first time, so he naturally followed his hand and ate.
The interaction between the two was very natural, and the charming atmosphere made Duan Lingping couldn't help but turn his head.
After all, it is not mainstream for men to fall in love. These two people don't know how to hide it at all, but he is still here!
He had never felt that a small boat that could accommodate five or six people was so small. Duan Lingping sped up the boat so that he could be relieved as soon as he reached the shore.
A small boat swished through the lotus leaves, and suddenly made a "bang" sound and hit something.
The ship shook violently, and Qin Qinghong almost fell off the ship, but Xie Lanyi grabbed his belt and pulled him back.
An exclamation came from the dense lotus leaves. After a while, a woman stood up from the lotus leaves and said angrily: "Who is it? Didn't you see anyone here?"
Duan Lingping was stunned when he saw her appearance clearly, and said with clasped fists: "Sorry, Miss Ye, the lotus bushes are too dense, I accidentally bumped into you."
Ye Pingting was also stunned when she saw the three people on the boat, wearing green clothes and curtain hats. Isn't this Xie Lanyi, the owner of Qiongyu Tower?
"Senior brother?"
A surprised female voice sounded, and a girl stood up again among the lotus bushes. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looked very much like He Congyi, like a beautiful hibiscus flower.
Ye Pingting held Jiang Fuli's arm and said thoughtfully: "Fu'er, be careful."
Jiang Furui saw the man in green in the boat at a glance, and said in surprise: "Uncle Junior, why did you arrive so early? I wanted to pick you up."
Xie Lanyi loosened Qin Qinghong's belt and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Fu'er. We haven't seen her for a few years and she has grown into a big girl."
Jiang Furui's face turned red. She hadn't seen him for several years, and her junior uncle's voice seemed to sound better.
The two girls' pennies on the boat had just been knocked off and they couldn't continue rowing, so they sat on Xie Lanyi's small boat together.
Jiang Furui held an arm full of lotus flowers and lotus pods. Duan Lingping reached out and carefully helped her over, saying softly: "Fu'er, were you injured just now?"
Jiang Furui's thoughts were all on Xie Lanyi at this time. She shook her head casually and gave him all the lotus flowers and lotus pods in her arms.
"Senior brother, please row more slowly from now on. If Pingting hadn't grabbed me just now, I would have fallen into the river."
"You hold these for me, I want to talk to my junior uncle."
After she finished speaking, she walked over to sit opposite Xie Lanyi, her cheeks flushed, and she was obviously very happy.
Jiang Fuli looks very much like He Congyi, but in terms of temperament, she completely follows Jiang Honghe.
She had seen Xie Lanyi's appearance before. Xie Lanyi was really the most handsome person she had ever seen. Even her father could only be ranked second.
Her mother once lamented that if Xie Lanyi hadn't been so young back then, her father might not be who he was.
When Qin Qinghong saw Jiang Fuli's eyes that were about to gleam, he immediately became alert. Something was wrong. There was something wrong with this girl's eyes.
