"Second Miss, don't be afraid, hold me tight."
"Brother Qingzhou, hold Weimo tight too."
"Second Miss... it's too tight, relax a little..."
"oh… "
Luo Qingzhou held Miss Qin Er in his arms and slowly slid down from the bridge along the rope.
Miss Qin II hugged his neck tightly, her cheek buried in his chest, her body soft and her face pale, she didn't dare look down.
Soon, the two landed on the small boat below.
"Second Miss, it's ok, you can come down now."
"Brother Qingzhou, Weimo is out of strength, hug me again..."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else and continued to hold her delicate, boneless, fragrant body gently.
The girl in green stood at the bow holding a bamboo pole, quietly looking at his back.
Nangong Meijiao stood on the bridge, looked down, picked up Qiu'er who was beside her, grabbed the rope, and slid down nimbly, landing steadily on the boat.
Zhu'er was alone on the bridge, leaning on the railing, looking pitifully at the people on the boat.
Luo Qingzhou looked up and shouted, "Zhu'er, don't be afraid, grab the rope and slide down, your uncle will catch you below."
Zhu Er whimpered and said loudly: "Master, I dare not... Come up and hug me, I will never be mean to you again, wuwu..."
Miss Qin Er loosened her arms and said with a smile, "Brother Qingzhou, go pick up Zhu'er."
Luo Qingzhou was about to agree when Nangong Meijiao suddenly grabbed the rope, swooped up with a "whoosh", and then hugged Zhu'er who was standing on the railing. She actually let go of the rope in her hand and floated down.
"Bang!"
She landed steadily on the bow of the boat.
The whole boat shook slightly.
Luo Qingzhou quickly flattered her, saying, "The princess is very skilled, as graceful as a fairy, and so handsome and cool."
Nangong Meijiao let go of Zhu'er, looked at him and said, "Are you talking about the skirt?"
Luo Qingzhou: “???”
Nangong Meijiao looked at him coldly and said, "My skirt is flying up, isn't it beautiful?"
Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "I didn't look inside. The princess was wearing stockings. I didn't see anything. I swear."
Everyone: “…”
There was a brief silence on the boat.
"Bang!"
Luo Qingzhou covered his eyes and squatted on the ground.
“Obscene!”
Nangong Meijiao put away her fist and went into the cabin.
"Humph, my son-in-law is so dishonest."
Zhu'er also snorted coldly.
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and glanced at her with one eye, then said to Miss Qin Er beside him: "Miss Er, let Zhu Er be my maid, tonight."
Zhu Er: “…”
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Okay, Zhu'er and Qiu'er will belong to Brother Qingzhou from now on anyway."
"Miss… "
Zhu Er panicked immediately and begged: "Master, I was wrong. I will never say anything more..."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "What if you talk too much in the future?"
Zhu Er covered her mouth and said, "If you keep talking, Master will stuff something into my mouth and throat so that I can no longer speak, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her in silence for a moment, then said, "Okay."
At this time, the young girl in green standing at the bow of the boat reached into the water with the bamboo pole in her hand and said in a crisp voice: "Dear guests, please go in and take your seats. The boat is about to set sail."
Luo Qingzhou stood up, supported Miss Qin Er, entered the cabin, sat down opposite someone, and then closed his eyes to rest.
Nangong Meijiao looked at him coldly and asked, "Why did you suddenly start to hit someone?"
Luo Qingzhou opened his eyes and said, "They are disrespectful to the princess."
Nangong Meijiao raised her eyebrows and said, "How are they disrespectful to me? They didn't even say a word to me."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Their eyes are vulgar, and they keep stealing glances at the princess. They must have ulterior motives towards her."
Nangong Meijiao said calmly, "Perhaps it's because this princess is so beautiful that they couldn't help but look at her a few more times? Does looking at her a few times mean having ulterior motives? Then when this princess walks on the street and so many people peek at her, shouldn't they all be beaten?"
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "They blocked our way and wouldn't let us go. They also tried hard to invite us to the pleasure boat. It's obvious that they have another conspiracy."
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "Maybe they are just hospitable and just want to make friends with you?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and couldn't help asking, "Princess, which side are you on?"
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly: "Which side is right? This princess is on that side."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else.
Nangong Meijiao stared at him for a while, then asked, "Luo Qingzhou, aren't you a weak scholar? How come you kicked those four people to the ground one by one? Where did you get so much strength?"
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "My second brother once taught me the boxing method to exercise my body. I practice it often, so I have more strength."
Nangong Meijiao's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm: "Oh? Really? Then you just carried Wei Mo down and grabbed the rope with one hand, which is not something that ordinary people can do."
Luo Qingzhou met her eyes and said, "Princess, do you think I'm an ordinary person? I'm Luo Jieyuan, the first in the imperial examination in Mo City, and even the princess respects me as her teacher. Who said that scholars must be weak? Scholars often grind ink and hold books, so isn't it normal for them to have some strength?"
Zhu'er at the side couldn't help but say, "Son-in-law, I remember that it was always the young lady, Xiaodie, and Qiu'er who helped you grind the ink."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then turned to look at her and said, "Zhu'er, when you go back home tonight, remember not to eat spicy food."
Zhu Er was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No reason, just don't eat. It's better not to eat, then the son-in-law will bring you something good to eat."
Zhu Er immediately asked happily, "Really, uncle? What good stuff? Is it a candied haws or candy?"
Luo Qingzhou said expressionlessly: "You will know when you return."
Zhu Er nodded quickly and said, "Yeah!"
Then he asked, "Are there any for Qiu'er?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No, she is not qualified to eat it."
Zhu'er frowned and said, "Then can you give half of what you gave to me, my son-in-law, to Qiu'er?"
Qiu'er blushed and said quickly, "Zhu'er, I don't want to eat it. You can eat it alone."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her coldly and said, "She will have some in the future, too. You can eat first tonight."
Zhu Er said happily: "Yeah, thank you, uncle."
Qiu'er stroked her forehead and lowered her head.
Luo Qingzhou was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but Miss Qin, who was sitting next to him, scratched his palm with her fingers, bit her pink lips, looked at him with charming eyes, and whispered, "Brother Qingzhou, Wei Mo also wants to eat..."
Nangong Meijiao, who was sitting opposite, didn't understand what he said, but she was very keen to feel that there was something wrong with what he said, and said coldly: "What good stuff, take it out and let me see it."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "The princess is a noble lady, she won't eat those dirty things, so you don't need to look at them."
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly and said, "I want to see it, will you take it out?"
Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt his feet under the table being stepped on by a foot, so he could only say: "Princess, it's another kind of candied haws, a fruit candied haws. There are bananas, oranges, kiwis, hawthorns, apples, plums, etc. on it."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Really?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Yes."
Nangong Meijiao immediately said, "Then I want to eat it too. You can make it when we get home tonight."
Luo Qingzhou was speechless and could only say: "Okay. If the princess doesn't mind, I'll make more."
"Brother Qingzhou..."
At this time, Miss Qin Er next to her suddenly frowned and asked, "Did you just tell the boatman where we are going?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this and turned to look.
The girl in green standing at the bow was rowing the boat towards the lotus bushes not far away.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly stood up, walked out of the boat awning, came to the girl in green, stared at her, and asked, "Miss, I don't think we said we were going to the lotus bushes, right?"
Hearing this, the young lady in green smiled sweetly, her eyes bright and her teeth white, and she said in a clear voice: "Sir, it's so early. You are here to visit the West Lake, why don't you go to the lotus bushes? It's so beautiful there. Almost every tourist who comes here will take a boat to visit."
Luo Qingzhou stared into her eyes for a while, then turned and said, "Second Miss, Princess, do you want to go to the lotus bushes?"
They were indeed planning to take a boat to visit the lotus pond.
But now the stone bridge suddenly collapsed, and he didn't know what kind of danger would happen here, so he didn't want to go there very much.
After all, it's in the water, not on the shore.
If any danger occurred, they would have no way to escape.
Even though he is a good swimmer, he can only save one person at most.
Nangong Meijiao said, "Go."
Miss Qin Er also said: "Brother Qingzhou, it's so early now, I should go out and play for a while. Wei Mo hasn't come out to play for a long time."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the young girl in green in front of him again and nodded, "Then let's go to the lotus bushes. Row slowly. Don't be in a hurry. Safety is the most important thing."
After saying that, he took another look at her bare white feet under her skirt. When he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly asked, "By the way, little girl, do you often row the boat here? Where are your family members?"
The young girl in green said crisply, "My father often rows the boat here, but he is not feeling well today, so I am doing it for him. Don't worry, sir, I am also very skilled. My father has been teaching me since I was a child. Nothing will go wrong."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou lowered his head again, glanced at her slender feet under her skirt and the red rope bell on her ankle, nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk into the boat awning.
As soon as he entered, Nangong Meijiao sneered, "You're drooling, don't you want to lie down and lick it a few times?"
Luo Qingzhou sat down next to Miss Qin Er, turned his head and glanced at the snow-white feet of the girl in green at the bow, and said, "Princess, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little surprised. If she often paddles here, her feet exposed outside can't be that white."
Nangong Meijiao sneered: "Maybe someone could tell at a glance that someone has a foot fetish, so he deliberately exposed it today to seduce someone?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and asked, "Why did she seduce me?"
After these words came out, several people looked at him.
Zhu Er at the side couldn't help but ask again: "Son-in-law, the princess said that someone has a foot fetish, but she didn't mention you, so why did you admit it so directly?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "Second Miss, Princess, I think we should not go to the lotus bushes. The stone bridge just broke strangely, and I think it might not be safe here."
He turned his head, looked at the broken stone bridge, and then looked at the attic at the end of the bridge in the middle of the lake.
The tourists who were playing in the attic also came out and boarded the boat to escape.
He glanced again at the top of the attic.
I haven't seen Sister Yue for a few nights. I wonder if she came here again these nights.
Miss Qin Er said softly, "Wei Mo, listen to Brother Qingzhou. If Brother Qingzhou feels unsafe, we won't play. We can just go somewhere else to play, or go shopping."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at the broken bridge outside and the still panicked crowd, frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Then let's go back. There is a cold wind on the lake, so we can go shopping."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and shouted to the bow outside: "Girl, turn around and take us back to the shore."
The girl in green stood at the bow, seemingly not hearing his call, and continued to row the boat towards the lotus bushes.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up.
