Su Xi lay in bed for two days, and her bones were stiff. The first thing she did when she went to the ground was to change her clothes, drive Tingyan, Tinghe and other girls out, and tiring her muscles and bones. She danced alone in the room for half an hour, and then she felt much more comfortable.

Tingyan and Tinghe prepared hot water early. Su Xi came out of the clean room after taking a shower. She only wore a pink and purple silk shirt, a pair of delicate green gold-woven feet pants underneath, and held a skin-permeable five-spice ball in her mouth. She sat on the beauty couch and asked Tingyan to hold her hair and wipe the rose oil that nourishes her hair at the end.

Su Xi's shiny and soft hair is entirely maintained by this small bottle of rose oil.

Rose oil is a prescription obtained from Mr. Dong. It is said that Concubine Xu in the palace took care of her hair like this. The last emperor’s favorite was her seaweed-like black hair.

After listening to Yan finished applying her hair, she took a painted small porcelain jar on the huanghuali wood fragrance table, slid Su Xi's foot-spreading pants above her knees, and asked while applying crabapple honey cream to her, "Girl, are you really going to attend the Shangyuan Banquet tomorrow?"

Su Xi raised her head from the book and looked at Tingyan with a smile, "Why, Sister Tingyan doesn't want me to go?"

"How dare I be the master of the girl?" Tingyan looked at Su Xi's flawless calf and said, "I just felt that there must be many people on the street on the Lantern Festival, and the girl is like this again... I'm afraid it's not safe."

Su Xi didn't think so much, she turned around the page of the book in her hand and replied, "Isn't you still there? Besides, the second brother will go with you too."

Yesterday, when Su Zhi came to visit Su Xi, he said that he would accompany her out on the Lantern Festival.

Tingyan was a little relieved and didn't speak anymore.

There are many people on the street, especially when the Lantern Festival is so lively, her girl is so attractive again. When Yan Zhen was worried that she could not bear it, Su Xi would have an accident.

The next evening, Su Xi changed into a dress and asked Tinghe to tie a simple bun for her, and a golden butterfly plum blossom hairpin was worn on her bun. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at it, quite satisfied.

Girls usually choose to go out in the evening, and the Xiangshui Lake at night is interesting. There are continuous lanterns hanging on both sides, and there are painting boats from various families parked on the lake. They either raise cups and have banquets on the pleasure boats, or play the piano and write poems. By the hour of the lunar month, colorful fireworks will be lit in the middle of the lake, which is much more lively than during the day.

Outside the door, Su Zhi rode a horse in front of a black painted flat-topped carriage, wearing a dark blue brocade robe with a tangled treasure-shaped pattern, with a handsome face and a cold eyebrow.

Perhaps because he had been waiting for a long time, the horse impatiently digged his hooves, but Su Zhi's face was filled with impatience. Instead, he reached out to support the horse's head to make it quieter.

Su Xi finally came out of the door, picked up the steps, walked to Su Zhi, raised her face and asked, "Second brother, why did you come out so early? Did you have to wait for a long time?"

Su Zhi bent his lips slightly and comforted him: "I haven't waited for a long time. I just went out. Get on the carriage. It will be dark in a while."

Su Xi nodded, held Tingyan's hand and got on the carriage. When Su Zhi heard "setting" outside the carriage, the coachman raised his whip and drove towards the shore of Xiangshui Lake.

*

The shore of Xiangshui Lake is the most busy area in Shangjing. There are rows of shops in the west, and lanterns are hung in the east. From a distance, it looks like the night hanging from the sky, dotted with stars. The stars have their own shapes, including lotus, pagoda, hydrangea, rabbit, horse, and monkey. There are many kinds of things, which makes people dazzled.

There are crowds of people on the streets, shoulder to shoulder, and lively. You can see young girls wearing brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes everywhere. You can't see so many daughters in boudoirs, and they will only go out on special occasions like the Spring Festival.

If you want to find a quiet place, it is probably only Xiangshui Lake. There are exquisite pleasure boats parked on the lake, mostly with well-known families in Shangjing. Ordinary people cannot sit on such pleasure boats, so they can only watch from a distance, and have the honor to listen to the wonderful music flowing from above.

If you want to be quiet, you can't go much quieter. After all, under the influence of this atmosphere, anyone is slightly drunk.

"Second Master, the eldest son of the Governor's Office in front has someone to invite you again." Not long after Su Xi and Su Zhi stood on their own pleasure boat, the cousin Su Xu urged him three times.

Su Zhi was worried that Su Xi would not be safe alone, so he did not respond for a long time.

It was not until Su Xi saw the pleasure boat at Duke Qing's Mansion that she said to Su Zhi: "Second brother, come here, don't worry about me. Tingyan is following me, and there will be cousin Fu in a while, so nothing will happen."

The two families met, and Su Xi boarded the pleasure boat at the Duke of Qingguo Mansion. Su Zhi kept watching her walk into the cabin, and then asked the boatman to rock the boat and leave.

Su Xi thought that there was only Fu Yi in the cabin, but she had just walked to the door of the pleasure boat and saw Fu Shaoyun inside. Fu Shaoyun was wearing a royal blue brocade suit and taller than two years ago. She sat on the warm-collapse with one of her legs bent, tilted her head and looked out the window.

"Sister Xi." Fu Yi sat up from the couch and greeted him.

Fu Shaoyun was obviously stiff when he heard the sound. He turned his head to look at the door, his eyes stopped on Su Xi, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Su Xi deliberately avoided Fu Shaoyun in the past two years, and hadn't seen him for a while. Forget it, the last time we met was half a year ago. At the moment, there was no way to avoid it. Su Xi bent her eyes, stood at the door and stopped going in, shouting: "Calligraphy sister, Shaoyun's cousin."

The little girl at the door was wearing a blue skirt with rainy rain. The skirt was embroidered with birds and flirting patterns. The patterns were exquisite. The skirt was gently swaying as she walked. The lifelike birds seemed to come alive at once, flapping their wings, and making people smell a little flower fragrance. She was wrapped in a red cloak with peonies embroidered with patterns. White fur fox hair tufted around her pink face. Her face looked like finely polished soft jade, her eyebrows were like green feathers, her lips were like red dan, and her skin was like white snow, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.

After a long time, Fu Shaoyun said with a low voice: "Young and Young."

Fu Yi knew that Su Xi was deliberately avoiding it, but she didn't force it. "Cousin Xi finally came. I couldn't find you before, and I thought you were not here anymore. Sister Qi and the others were all here, and I'm waiting for you alone now. Since you are here, let's go there together."

Su Xi nodded and said yes. Fu Yi asked the boatman to change direction and sailed towards a large pleasure boat in the middle of the lake. It looked quite gorgeous from a distance. The pleasure boat belonged to the princess's mansion. It turned out that the master Wanping was here too today.

Fu Yi told Su Xi again that most of the others inside were familiar people, and Su Xi usually knew them.

Su Xi turned her head and saw Fu Shaoyun staring at her in a daze. She tilted her head and smiled, saying, "Don't Shaoyun's cousin have fun with her friends?"

Fu Shaoyun was stunned and wanted to say something, but finally said, "I'll go there after I send you Jie Jie and Xi's cousin away."

Su Xi stopped asking more. She still remembered that at this time in her previous life, Fu Yi did not invite her to attend the Shangyuan Banquet. Instead, Fu Shaoyun secretly took her out of the mansion and went to the Jade Building on West Street to have a mutton soup pot. The mutton was delicious and as thin as a cicada's wing. Su Xi was quite satisfied. After returning to the mansion, he had two big bubbles on his mouth and it took several days to disappear.

Su Xi has always been unable to understand why Fu Shaoyun is so keen on giving her delicious food? Is her mouth so clumsy, what are the benefits for him?

After thinking about it for two years, Su Xi didn't understand this problem.

"It's here." Fu Yi's voice interrupted Su Xi's thoughts.

The two climbed to the Princess's Mansion together. The Master Wanping stood at the door of the boat wearing a large-sleeved autumn shirt, looking at the boat at the Duke Qing's Mansion, and met Fu Shaoyun's gaze, and showed a few delicate looks of his little daughter's house, saying, "Mr. Fu."

Fu Shaoyun came back to his senses, clasped his fists and bowed, "Wanping Weng Lord."

Weng-gun Wanping said, "Don't worry, Young Master Fu, I will send Sister Yi back in person when the banquet is over."

"Then there is Master Lao Weng." Fu Shaoyun's mind was not here. It was not until Su Xi entered the pleasure boat and could no longer see him that he withdrew his gaze and his figure was hidden in the night.

*

There are familiar faces in the pleasure boat. In addition to the master Wanping, there are also Yin Qiuqiu, Yin Pengpeng, Li Anyi, and Yu Baotong.

Before Su Xi came, they were playing the flying flower order. Each of them said a poem with "flowers". It had been several rounds. Now there were only Yu Baotong and Yin Qiuqiu left on the field.

When it was Yu Baotong's turn, she was supposed to take the word "花" in the first word. The first word was not difficult, but the difficult thing was that after several rounds, the poems that should be said were all said. She couldn't remember it, so she accepted a cup of punishment and said, "I lost."

The wine on the small table of red sandalwood embedded with mother-of-pearl is replaced with osmanthus wine. The wine tastes light and sweet, making it suitable for girls to drink.

Yin Qiuqiu said: "Miss Yu is also very powerful, but there are fewer poems with the word "flower" in the first word. I have the advantage, so I will beat you."

If you lose, you lose. Yu Baotong is not the one who can't afford to lose. She smiled and said, "Miss Yin is humble, but I am the one who is not knowledgeable."

When Li Anyi saw Fu Yi and Su Xi come in, he interrupted, "Sister Yi is very knowledgeable. If Sister Yi participates in this game, who might win."

Yin Qiuqiu regarded Fu Yi as her biggest opponent and has been secretly competing with Fu Yi for the position of "the No. 1 Nude Girl". Now that he heard this, his smile stopped and he immediately said, "That's right, but unfortunately he was unable to compete with Sister Yi."

"What's the matter? Isn't there a next game?" said Master Wanping disagreed.

After Fu Yi sat down, Su Xi also sat down next to Yu Baotong.

Yu Baotong pinched Su Xi's little face, "I still think you are not here today."

Su Xi smiled and said, "Sister Yu is here, why can't I come?"

My mouth is very sweet.

During this period, Fu Yi and Yin Qiuqiu decided to play the next round of the Drum-beating Flower Passing Order. However, this Drum-beating Flower Passing Order changed the rules, which was different from the traditional one. When the drum sounded, they handed flowers to the people around them one by one. After the drum sounded, the flowers fell on whoever they had the flowers, and whoever they had asked a question. If someone answered it on the court, the questioner would punish him by himself. If no one answered correctly, everyone would punish him with a glass of wine.

After Fu Yi said that, everyone agreed.

Li Anyi said: "But where did we get the drums on the boat? Who will let us beat them?"

This is a problem. Wanping Wengzhu thought for a while and said, "My cousin's pleasure boat happens to be nearby. Why don't I ask him to call him and let him play the flute for us instead of drums. What do you think?"

When the few people heard that Wei Qing, the prince of the King of Qi, was also there, they could not sit still. It would be great if Wei Qing could come to play the flute for them.

Yin Qiuqiu bit her lips, looking forward and sour. Although she rejected her sachet when she returned to Wei Shi, she still missed Wei Shi in her heart.

Fu Yi said: "It's good, but will the Prince of King Qi agree?"

The Master Wanping was not sure. She sometimes couldn't figure out the temperament of this cousin, but since she spoke, there was no reason to take it back. She went to ask a maid wearing green clothes beside her.

Soon the maid went back and said a few words in the ear of the master Wanping.

The Master Wanping smiled immediately and said, "My cousin said he is willing to serve."

*

After a while, the pleasure boat from Prince Qi's Mansion stopped next to the pleasure boat from Princess Mansion.

Fu Yi took out a bunch of crabapple flowers from the sweet white porcelain vase on the carved shiny cabinet and suggested: "Let's use this bunch of crabapple flowers to pass on the order. Whoever is passing the flowers to, will you give a question?"

No one has any objection.

The master of Wanping lifted up the curtain embroidered with dark gold patterns and said to the cabin opposite: "Cousin, we are about to start."

After a while, three fingers of fingers came from the opposite side of the pleasure boat, which was slow and leisurely, and was considered a response.

When the flute sounded, Su Xi heard that Wei Shi was playing "Gusu Travel". The flute sound was soothing and had a deep charm. Unexpectedly, in addition to his outstanding literary talent, Wei Dazi also played the flute well.

Before everyone could indulge in the sound of Prince Wei's flute, the "beating the drum and passing the flowers" had already begun.

The crabapple flowers started from Fu Yi, and Fu Yi passed them to Wanping's Master, and the Wanping's Master was then passed to Li Anyi, and soon it was passed to Su Xi. Su Xi handed the crabapple flowers to Yu Baotong on the left hand, and after a round of turn, the crabapple flowers happened to be in Fu Yi's hands when the sound of the flute fell.

Li Anyi cheered and said, "It seems that Sister Yi is going to ask this first question."

Fu Yi thought for a while and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival, I will make a pair." Then, "The Water Fairy holds a jade hairpin, and the sound is blowing in front of the wind slowly."

The water fairy, jade hairpin and the sound of the song in the first couplet are both the names of the poems, and at the same time they also depict the beautiful scenery of the beauty. If you want to match the second couplet, it is not easy.

The people here think hard for a while, and no one can think of the second couplet.

Li Anyi said: "Sister Yi's couple is too difficult. I have no clue at all. Sister Qi, can you come up with the second couplet?"

Yin Qiuqiu shook his head in embarrassment.

Just as everyone was about to admit defeat and everyone punished themselves with a cup, Su Xi slowly said, "Yu Meiren wore red embroidered shoes, and the moon attracted BBQ to her."

Yu Meiren, red embroidered shoes, and BBQ are also names of lyrics, and this situation is no less than Fu Yi's first couplet.

After the words came, Yin Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, and then praised sincerely: "Xi Jie'er's couplet is so good."
