5.20 What else are you talking about about 'royal cruise'?
The sixth day of July, Xuanwu Lake.

A luxury cruise ship costing about [-] yuan is floating smoothly on the water. The bow is decorated with a gold-plated dragon head, and the main color is golden. There are two floors above the deck. Both the style and decoration are extremely wealthy, just like a second-floor living room. The overall display is mainly made of precious materials such as gold, coral, and colored glaze. Once the pearl light shines on, the entire living room will be called jewels.

The summer heat seems to be blocked here. As long as you don't deliberately run into the sun, with the rich water vapor on the lake, even the constant breeze brings a little bit of coolness. It has the feeling of "the gentle breeze blows and the waves are calm"; and the beautiful scenery around it makes people forget about the ordinary and want to stay here.

"Hmph, what are you talking about about a 'royal cruise'? I don't know who has this decoration without eyes. It has no royal nobility at all, and it makes people feel that the smell of copper is overwhelming." Xue Baoqin curled his lips disdainfully and looked at it. The decoration of the living room, "And these corals and pearls, how precious are they? If my father hadn't forbidden it, I could have inlaid a carriage with corals."

"Naughty!" Zhou Yang twisted her ears angrily, suppressing his sense of superiority, "Second uncle is also relieved. When I sent you here, I thought we were just playing for two days, but I didn't expect him to let you go. We went back to the island directly; you are good enough, I obviously said I was going to bring that girl Qingwen here, why did I change it to you?"

"Hee hee, I promised Sister Qingwen that I would give her a pair of pearl necklaces." Xue Baoqin "broke off" from someone's "suppression" and showed off her own "Pingyi nearly people" unceremoniously, "Besides, You promised to take my little sister for a good time, but you only fulfilled it today. If my little sister hadn't used some tricks, who knows how long it would have taken?"

"You, you really don't know what to say!" Zhao Qiying, who was next to her, gently hugged her, twisted her little nose and smiled, "You are already a teenager, how can you follow outsiders around? ? You are still the one who has made the marriage, so you are not afraid of your reputation in the future?"

"Marriage?" Xue Baoqin snorted and pushed Zhao Qiying away. He turned around and threw himself into Lin Daiyu's arms with a smile. "That's why I have to have fun. If I don't enter any house, who knows if I will come out." Opportunity? It’s better to just rely on Brother Zhou and play whatever you want!
Besides, how can Brother Zhou be an outsider?If we talk about closeness, apart from Sister Qiying, Sister Lin and I are "outsiders" in this room. Didn't you forget to take her with you when you came out?Oh, I see, it turns out that Sister Lin is also a 'wife'?Hey, hey, my little sister has learned a lot! "

"Child talk!" Zhao Qiying just thought that Xue Baoqin was young and ignorant, knocked her lightly and said with a smile, "In order to follow you, you squeezed into Sister Lin's carriage, and even Sister Xueyan was coaxed away by you, and there was actually If you have the guts to arrange things, see if I won't beat you, a narrow-minded person like you; now that Sister Lin has lost her maid, you will be the one to take care of her. If she is unhappy in any way, we will follow the rules and beat the maid!"

"What did Sister Qiying say?" Lin Daiyu's face turned red. Based on the interaction between the three of them just now, she seemed to be the only outsider at the scene. "Sister Qin is very smart. Who would really be willing to serve her? That girl Xueyan left, Didn’t you get my permission? I just thought it would be a pity to keep Sister Qin at home, why not have fun together.

Just like this royal cruise ship, no matter how prosperous and wealthy a person is, how many can he see?There is a saying in an ancient poem, "In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people." I am so honored to have such an honor today, thanks to the hard work of Brother Zhou, but I don't know if I will have the opportunity to have such a blessing again in the future. "

"Don't worry, there will be many opportunities like this in the future." Zhou Yang really didn't take it seriously, "Girl Qin is not lying about one thing. This 'Royal Cruise' is indeed very ordinary. It's hard to say anything else about Uncle Er. Whether it's cruise ships, gold, coral, pearls, etc., if he humbly says 'second in the world', His Majesty is not qualified to be called first."

"Yes!" Xue Baoqin raised his head from Lin Daiyu's arms and said confidently, "Although this lake has some meanings, it can't compare with the scenery of the sea. Standing on a ship made of thousands of materials, the deck is as stable as land. You can't see the end of the sea at a glance, and it seems to be connected to the sky in the distance. People there are like a drop in the ocean, and their hearts are much broader."

"Seriously?" Zhao and Lin both looked yearning, and Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask.

"Is this still false?" Xue Baoqin said proudly, "Don't Brother Zhou still go to the capital to report on his work? When you leave, you might as well start from Songjiang and go directly to Jinmen Port along the coastal road. I will let you take a good look at it. What the younger sister said is not real!"

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she looked straight at Zhou Yang with a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as stars. Although she didn't say a word, she couldn't bear to refuse anyone who saw him.

"Okay, we have to go to the capital anyway, where can we go?" Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, "That's all, you three, let's have a good look, and if you like it, you can play more. If you need anything, just tell the maid outside the door. "Slave, I'm a rough guy and I really don't have much artistic sense, so I'll go next door and have a good sleep."

"Brother Zhou is also a Jinshi of the dynasty after all. How could he be so contemptuous of me?" Lin Daiyu said softly, but still gave him a gentle blessing as a farewell.

Not mentioning the person who was sleeping next door, the three girls gathered together and chatted non-stop. There happened to be no maid accompanying them, which gave the three of them extra space to talk, so that the topic got further and further away. "Sister Qiying, how did Brother Zhou get you to agree?" This question was asked by Xue Baoqin at the scene, "How do you feel now?"

"You girl, you really dare to say anything!" Zhao Qiying hit her angrily, and then found that although Lin Daiyu's cheeks were red, her ears were ridged like small fans. She was obviously also interested, although she was As soon as he saw it, he looked away in embarrassment, but had no intention of leaving at all, "This is not what a daughter's family who has not left the government can ask!"

What's more, how to answer this question?Could it be that he was attracted to her the first time they met, lost their first kiss the second time, almost lost her body twice after that, and finally took the initiative to get into the Zhou family's house without even riding in a sedan chair?If you tell this, how can you face anyone in the future?
"Hehe, can't you just ask me if you don't ask me?" He jumped out, ran to Lin Daiyu and said with a smile, "Sister Qiying is so tall that people don't want to let her go."

"You guys, you should eat more and walk more, otherwise you will suffer in the future." Regarding this point, Zhao Qiying is very confident, especially when facing the two little beans in front of her, "Daughter's house If you really believe the nonsense about "a weak willow supporting the wind", even if you get married in the future, you may not be able to survive a woman's death.

Sister Lin, if you are like this now, if you are not willing to be careful, you may affect your longevity. We have been eating together these days, and I see that you can't even use a small bowl of rice. How can you grow in shape?No matter how big the issue is, it is no bigger than eating. If you don’t eat and have no energy, how long can you live a good life? "

"Is it true what Sister Qiying said?" Lin Daiyu asked worriedly.

Zhao Qiying has been in Longwu for 30 years, and is the same age as Zhou Yang. Now she is the most confident age in the girl's family. In addition, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, which has created her figure that can be called "tall" in modern times. , and a figure that can be called a "devil"; on the contrary, in appearance, she is slightly worse than Xue Baoqin or Lin Daiyu.

"I think Sister Qiying is right." Xue Baoqin jumped into Zhao Qiying's arms with a smile, her little head resting on the two soft pillows, "If I were a man, I wouldn't be willing to part with such an intoxicating one. Oh, Qiying." Sister Ying, I don’t dare to do that anymore!”

"You girl, you don't know how to handle the door. Let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" Zhao Qiying was so embarrassed that she almost exploded. She grabbed Xue Baoqin's cheeks with both hands and gently pulled them apart, "I don't know where you learned this, girl." These weird things are just for my family to talk about, but if they spread, will my daughter’s family’s reputation be lost?”

"Sister Qiying won't tell anyone." Xue Baoqin curled her lips disdainfully, turned around and threw herself into Lin Daiyu's arms. She didn't know what was going on. This girl always likes to stay close to her sisters. "Sister Lin rarely goes out, let alone You can talk nonsense; Hey, among the three of us, only Sister Qiying has left the cabinet. Will my daughter’s family become like Sister Qiying after she leaves the cabinet? Or can Brother Zhou help me - oh, Sister Lin, help me!"

"You girl, let's see if I don't beat you to death!" Zhao Qiying had been in the world for many years, but he was knocked over by a car of a little girl who had not left the court. She could not restrain him even with physical persuasion, and finally ran out of the living room in shame.

Not mentioning the two people left behind, Zhao Qiying went out with a blushing face. After thinking about it, she turned around and entered Zhou Yang's room, only to find that he was actually lying on the mat, sleeping soundly under the cool breeze of the lake. After thinking about it for a moment, Lying next to him, he might as well take a rest; as for the so-called "relaxation at Xuanwu Lake", let the two young men next door do the work.

"Qiying?" Unexpectedly, she made a little big move and accidentally woke up Zhou Yang. He rubbed his eyes in a daze and asked, "Why are you here? Not with those two girls?"

"You're still a little girl, I was almost there." Zhao Qiying blushed and arranged for a certain old Si Ji girl, which made Zhou Yang laugh uncontrollably, "Actually, what she said is right, I helped a lot. busy!"

"You are such a cruel person, you don't even know how to comfort others!" Zhao Qiying blushed and punched someone a few times, but still obeyed and let him knock him down.

Here, the two remaining little girls in the living room continued to chat and joke, and even couldn't help but join in a poem. However, the couplet between the two of them was not lively enough, and soon became boring. Fortunately, Lin Daiyu had obviously too many activities today, and she A little tired, he said goodbye and went back to his room to rest. Only Xue Baoqin, who was too energetic, was left, not wanting to sleep but feeling bored.

"Hmph, you all go to rest, leave me alone, and see if I don't wake you up, so you don't get bored." Xue Baoqin snorted after lying on the bed for a long time, flipping pancakes, got up and ran out of the door, "Brother Zhou Go to bed early, why not make trouble with him!"

Just a moment later, she heard hurried footsteps in the corridor. She rushed back to her room with almost all her strength. Even though she covered her face hard, she still felt like a fire and her whole body was extremely hot.
