She and Others

Shen Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong, and was guided to the restaurant by the "steward" in front.

Qin Tian and the others looked at each other, but the young man leading the way showed no anger. Instead, he smiled and gestured to them, and the three of them said nothing.

The Li family had considerable financial resources, so they booked the private room on the third floor of the middle restaurant with the best view.

The interior of the elegant room is spacious. Looking down from the window facing the lake, you can only take in the entire lake view. Dragon boats have been arranged on the lake in front of you, flags of various families are hanging high, and men in short jackets are waiting proudly.

"When will the game start?" Qin Tian asked while lying in front of the window.

"It starts in two quarters of an hour."

Shen Xiao saw the steward returning to Qin Tian. The steward seemed to be quite valued by his master. He was decent and generous, not intimidating, but he was also diligent and neat. He poured the tea with great skill. The first cup was served to Shen Xiao. In front of Xiao Mian.

Shen Xiao took it. Naturally, she didn't need to politely thank the manager. She just glanced at the younger brother of the Li family, Li Shaozhen, who had a strange look on his face.

She didn't quite understand, so she glanced at Li Shaozhen, who quickly looked away.

Shen Xiao became even more confused and glanced at Li Chunzhen again. The second girl pointed to an orange dragon boat below and said, "That is the dragon boat team sponsored by our family. This boat is the one specially made by my eldest brother." It was built by someone else.”

After she finished speaking, she looked towards her with an unnatural expression, and the steward happened to bring the tea to her hand.

When Shen Xiao found that she had taken a small piece of the tea brought by the steward as usual, Li Chunzhen's expression became even more unnatural.

The steward, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face.

No matter how unsociable Shen Xiao is, he won't be able to detect anything amiss.

At this moment, a boy came to the door.

"Sir, the dragon boat race is about to begin. Please go to the main stage and take a seat."

Those who went to take a seat at the main stage were all the owners who had sponsored the dragon boat race this time. Only those who were in charge of the owners could be treated like this.

When Shen Xiao heard this, she subconsciously looked at Li Shaozhen, the young master of the Li family.

Unexpectedly, she saw the "steward" who guided her, poured her tea, and brought her some snacks, and responded without raising her head.

"I know, I'll go there later."

Shen Xiao:?!

She raised her head and met the young man's smiling eyes.

He placed another plate of snacks in her hand, "Girl, try this, it's the snack that the cook at home is good at."

Shen Xiao: "."

She choked.

She actually regarded her eldest brother, the eldest son of the Li family, as her steward!

Just say, how come you have such a proper manager?

Li Chunzhen and Li Shaozhen both tried their best to cover their mouths to prevent themselves from laughing. Only Qin Tian couldn't hold it in anymore, laughed out loud, and came over to introduce to Shen Xiao.

"This is the eldest brother of the Li family. He is from the same generation as Zhen, with the word 'Wei' in the middle."

The young man raised his hand to greet her.

"My wife, Li Weizhen, please forgive me if there is anything wrong with me during our first meeting."

What does Shen Xiao have to forgive others? It's because she makes them look like the next person as soon as she opens her mouth.

She hurriedly got up to return the gift and said her name, but under Li Weizhen's smiling eyes, her face turned red.

Fortunately, Li Weizhen was still waiting for Li Weizhen to pass by at the main stage. Li Weizhen met with Shen Xiao, greeted Qin Tian, ​​arranged for his brothers and sisters to take care of the guests, and finally ordered the servants and maids to make all arrangements before leaving. Gone.

Shen Xiao gave Qin Tian a tug.

"Why didn't you remind me?"

Qin Tian couldn't stop laughing, "But I haven't even opened my mouth yet. As soon as Brother Li shows up, you become my boss."

She looked at Shen Xiao with a smile, "Are all the stewards of the Xiao family so outstanding in appearance and extraordinary in talent?"

Shen Xiao: "."

She never paid attention to anything at home.

Not long after, the dragon boat race started.

Naturally, they all focused their attention on the Li family's dragon boat.

However, this was the first time that the Li family sponsored a fleet competition. The fleet was not that mature and skilled, and fell behind by half a hull as soon as the whistle blew.

Perhaps because they expected this to be the case, the Li siblings were not so concerned. Instead, they were discussing which of the other teams could get the top three spots.

Li Chunzhen and Li Shaozhen each had their own opinions, and Li Chunzhen spoke slowly. When she finished talking about her favorite fleet, she found that the three fleets she was interested in were lagging behind.

On the contrary, Li Shaozhen was very proud, "If I had bet money, I would definitely win a lot."

The Li family's tutors were not lax, and Li Chunzhen immediately taught her younger brother a lesson.

"Don't think about betting money. My parents and eldest brother don't allow anyone in the family to gamble."

Li Shaozhen hummed, "Then I'll win too, and hit all three."

Qin Tian also felt that the three teams he mentioned should be the top three in this dragon boat race.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xiao suddenly pointed to a team under the trees along the river.

"not necessarily."

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and were shocked when they saw it.

The Li family's own fleet, which was lagging behind from the beginning, unexpectedly caught up at some point.

The speed of the fleet was getting faster and faster, and they were already catching up to the tail of the third ship.

Everyone in the private room was shocked and looked over attentively.

After a few breaths, the victory or defeat was decided.

The Li family's fleet actually caught up at the last minute and won the third place in this competition.

There is no need for the Li siblings to quarrel this time. Their fleet won the prize for the first time in the competition. What could be more gratifying than this.

Qin Tian suggested that everyone go down to the lake to watch the excitement up close.

The sun had risen high, and it was hot and humid in the crowd. But looking at the main stage among the crowd, Li Weizhen, Ji Ming's boss, raised his hand, and Qin Tian and others cheered together in the crowd. .

Looking at the past from a distance, Shen Xiao finally no longer felt that Mr. Li looked like a steward. He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe and his movements were confident and steady.

Although the Li family is engaged in business, he is really different from the merchant family she thought he was.

After the Li family treated their guests to a meal, Li Shaozhen secretly asked Qin Tian if he wanted to go to the town below.

How could Qin Tian not know what this little brother is thinking? There is a market in the town today, and eating, drinking and having fun are much more interesting than this private room in a restaurant.

Qin Tian asked Li Weizhen on his behalf if he could, "Brother Li, we won't wander around. We will only walk around the main road of the town and buy some gadgets from the stalls. Don't worry."

Li Weizhen laughed and said, "I have nothing to worry about. After all, I have to go with you."

The two siblings were overjoyed that he was willing to go, and Qin Tian also felt that this was even better.

There were many people in the town, and she was afraid of getting separated, but with Li Weizhen here, she no longer worried.

"If my eldest brother can go, we can have fun."

For Li Weizhen, she couldn't be more familiar or relieved.

Only Shen Xiao touched her ears, feeling a little embarrassed.

*

Lively market in town.

The busy traffic during the Dragon Boat Festival made the main road of the market crowded with people, and those passing by on horseback had to dismount their horses and lead them along with them to pass along with the crowd.

Lu Xianzhao was so hot that he opened his folding fan and kept fanning.

"I just said we shouldn't go from here? Look, it's crowded and hot here? When can we go back to the city?"

Qin Shen, holding a riding crop, walked aside and comforted her patiently.

"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. Why bother talking about it?"

Lu Xianzhao hummed, "How can I compare with a Taoist priest like you who has an immortal spirit? I'm just a mortal body, and unlike you, I don't eat the fireworks of the world, and I'm neither hot nor troubled nor troubled."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that Qin Shen's patience was gone and he glanced sideways at him.

Lu Xianzhao immediately felt cool in the wind.

He coughed twice and said, "Okay, you are the master anyway, and I am your follower. I just have to obey you. Why don't you leave?"

Following Qin Shen's gaze, he turned and looked across the crowd toward the roadside.

"Ah, isn't this your little sister? Her fan...?"

Qin Shen's eyes fell on the scented tea stall in front. A little girl wearing a green-colored beanie like a rice dumpling leaf bought a large cattail leaf fan the size of a pot lid from somewhere and held it in her hand. The girl next to her either used a small round fan.

Or she would use a folding fan to enjoy the cool air. Only she would hold a big cattail leaf fan in both hands to fan herself and others, squinting her eyes and smiling with satisfaction.
