Since Xiao Ting woke up that day, her spiritual power has improved again, and her eyesight and hearing have improved, so she heard that person calling Chu Li's name on the boat.
But the other people on board at the time were unaware.
At this moment, there was a table not far from them on the opposite side, and the words could be clearly heard.
"My son will take the exam again next year..." Jiao Didi, why do you see that this is already your fancy
"That girl, do you dislike her? If you don't abandon her, you won't have a name card. I'll let someone come to propose marriage tomorrow, okay?"
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded hearing such a straightforward conversation.
The woman also smiled lightly, handed over a piece of handkerchief, and the two of them got off the big boat one after the other, and a special person led them to the small boat to return.
This leaves room.
"Amazing..." Xiao Ting thought to herself, this ancient blind date is really cool.
Straightforward and straightforward.
Over there, Ah Da winked, Xiao Ting asked him what's the matter, but he didn't say anything, after a long time, Xiao Ting looked at the door on her side again and again, and said to herself: "Why didn't anyone come to see me?"
Ah Da was silent, even if someone came and saw him staring at him with a cold face like a door god, he would scare them away.
"Princess, my subordinates are in a hurry and need to disembark first, you..." Ah Da kept pacing.
"Go."
Seeing his restless expression, Xiao Ting finally came to her senses. She was holding back, and quickly waved her hands, "Don't worry, this is the territory of Jiangnan Prince's Mansion, no one dares to make trouble."
A couple of men and women appeared on the opposite side, and they were sitting on both sides of the ceremony. Xiao Ting was excited to see it, when she suddenly heard the sound of the bamboo curtain behind her.
A man stood at the door, bowed his hands in salute, "I'm being rude, dare to ask the girl, but you are alone?"
Xiao Ting supported her head and looked at him sideways.
This is a young man in his twenties, with a fair face and strong bookishness. When he said this, there was still a little blush on his face.
If it wasn't for the light on where he was standing, he wouldn't be able to see it.
The clothes on his body looked a little old, but they were clean.
Xiao Ting nodded as soon as her thoughts changed.
The visitor sat down on the opposite side, seeing Xiao Ting was looking at the other side, so he also looked over, "Miss, do you think it's funny?"
Xiao Ting didn't look at her, and still lay on the wooden platform, "Yes, it's not funny that a woman chooses a lifelong companion based on what she only sees for half an hour?"
"Is the girl a foreigner?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Ting asked back, still not looking at him, the two people on the opposite side were already confessing their love.
It's really meaningless, a brocade handkerchief and a hosta hairpin are guaranteed for life.
Is this enough to be happy
For some reason, since she chatted with Qianbai last night, she always thinks of herself when she sees things about feelings.
Even if you see a pair of birds, you will feel a little bit of new worry.
What's more, these two real people made her feel even more depressed.
She withdrew her arm propped on the table, and then looked at the man opposite.
"I'm just here to watch the fun, my lord, please go ahead!" The novelty of just getting on the boat is gone, and there is no reason for a man to stay here and disturb her tranquility.
Xiao Ting thought again, compared with these people, she is actually not as good as these people. She was married by a paper at the beginning, she had never even met each other, and she knew nothing about her personality and temperament, so she married.
"Miss, do you know that they are actually an unmarried couple who are engaged?"
"En?" Xiao Ting blinked, somewhat disbelieving.
The man flicked his sleeves with one hand, and with the other he picked up the teapot to refill Xiao Ting's tea, and then poured himself another cup.
"The reason why everyone is enthusiastic about this annual flower fair is not really to choose their future spouse."
"Actually, in this world, most couples have never even met each other before they got married. What they know is just the clever words of the matchmaker and the inquiries of the mother's family. If you are lucky, everything will be clear, and you can be psychologically prepared in the future."
"If you are unlucky, you don't know anything, and you marry at a loss, it will be a lifetime."
The man told Xiao Ting that in fact, most of the women here came to see their fiancés and son-in-law. Firstly, they talked in a few words, and secondly, they learned their posture after seeing them. They were not as bold as she thought, they were really so bold.
Only then did Xiao Ting understand, "No wonder, no one came from my side."
It turned out that she had lost her mind, and she said, why are the girls here so open
"Hehe..." The man chuckled, sitting there in a regular manner, his body in a natural relaxed state, very comfortable.
"Actually, the reason why no one comes here is because the servant you brought has a cold face and no one dares to approach."
"Ah? Really?" Why didn't she realize that Ada still had a bluffing face.
The man is very talkative, from the local customs to the theory of eating monsters, there seems to be nothing he doesn't know.
Before they knew it, the two chatted very happily. Of course, Xiao Ting was listening or asking questions most of the time.
The man laughed and talked, and became interested for a while.
Xiao Ting used some fruit water, and not long after, the flower boat turned around, and when it came and went back slowly, time passed quickly.
When it was time to get off the boat, when the two got up with the gift, the boat suddenly shook violently, Xiao Ting tilted her body and fell towards the river.
The man quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
There was a great chaos outside the boat, and a lot of people jumped up on the boat, with cold expressions on their faces, slashing with knives, like a group of lunatics.
Someone was stabbed with a knife, blood was spattered, and stumps were also flying, causing chaos on the river.
The people scattered away, and many disasters happened on the shore.
Beside the flower boat, some officers and soldiers were lying in a mess, they were all invited by several big families to maintain order.
Crying, shouting and cursing disturbed several flower boats nearby, and countless people fell into the water at once.
The crowds in the water were more lively than those on the boat.
Everyone struggled to swim to the shore, hoping to avoid the disaster, but this made the chaos even more.
The people on the shore tried to save but couldn't find anyone, so they ran around in a hurry.
Xiao Ting was naturally also in the water, of course she didn't fall, the man had already held her back at that time, just seeing that those people holding cold swords were too impermanent, they both jumped down.
In order to escape unharmed.
Fortunately, those people didn't come for her, they really avoided it.
Ah Da had already been waiting at the spot, seeing Xiao Ting swimming up, he was almost scared out of his wits.
"Wang, Wangfei." She was so frightened that she couldn't even speak clearly, and she didn't change her title.
He just couldn't hold back and wanted to solve it, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Mother Feng immediately handed over the blanket, put it on her body, frowned with great distress, and complained: "What kind of world is this!"
At the same time, he took a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Ting's hair.
"Girl, hurry up." Although those people had already disappeared on the boat as soon as they rushed past, the chaos here is definitely not going to calm down like this.
Xiao Ting waved her hand and said, "Take him back too!"
Only then did Ah Da notice that there was a man she dragged up under Xiao Ting's feet.
He was speechless for a moment, the princess's hobby of picking up people is still there, and he is a little helpless at the moment.
It's not something he should worry about.
Xiao Ting was even more depressed than him, she didn't expect that the other party couldn't swim, when she shouted to jump, she didn't see him hesitate, why did he become a landlubber in the water
Ah Da immediately accepted the order, but he didn't even dare to blink his eyes.
Going back to the inn was a lot of trouble, but fortunately they had a yard with everything in place, so there was no trouble at all.
As soon as they rushed back, Li Mo came back before Xiao Ting could tidy up.
With a serious face, it looks like someone owes him his life and wants to see Xiao Ting.
The defendant told Xiao Ting that after taking a bath, before she left the door, she turned her head and covered Ah Da's face and scolded her severely.
Mother Feng wanted to persuade her, but Ah Er persuaded her to leave.
Mother Feng had no choice but to go into the house to serve Xiao Ting.
She wanted to reprimand Xiao Ting at first, after all, she was the one who insisted on boarding the boat this time, but seeing Li Mo like that, she finally remembered her identity.
I dare not say any more.
On weekdays, Xiao Ting doesn't have any pretensions, she eats whatever you give her, she speaks casually, and moves comfortably. After a long time, everyone thinks that she is easy to get along with. Mother Feng is only half of the master, and more of a daughter of her own.
After Xiao Ting took a bath, she changed into a thicker middle coat and a small jacket before she came out.
Mother Feng was stirring up the hair for her, Xiao Ting called Li Mo in, without looking at his face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and asked: "But there is news about your master?"
Li Mo could hear that the princess was still angry with the prince, and she didn't care about anything at the moment, so she had to bite the bullet and reply, "Go back to the princess, the subordinates can't contact the prince."
Xiao Ting raised her eyes, supported her head and asked, "What do you mean you can't be contacted?"
"He disappeared?"
Li Mo shook his head, "The subordinates don't know, and there is no response to the news released."
He was a little anxious, the Ninth Prince would never act like this, and the Gu family's affairs were delayed again and again, so he didn't dare to make up his mind for the master.
Xiao Ting didn't worry too much, "It's because he doesn't want to see me!"
"Princess, there is one more thing. I would like to ask you for an idea."
It was inconvenient for Li Mo to speak about this, but he showed embarrassment and mentioned another matter.
Xiao Ting looked at him, understood what he meant, let Mother Feng go down first, took the handkerchief by herself, and continued to shake her hair.
Didn't care much.
Li Mo thought for a while, and then said, "Princess Wang, in fact, this subordinate has something important to do when he comes to Linyang Mansion."
"En." Xiao Ting raised her eyebrows, she knew this a long time ago, and signaled him to continue.
Li Mo didn't know where to start for a moment, as he hadn't figured out many things yet.
In particular, the concubine never cared about these things, and the prince didn't want her to worry, so if I said that, wouldn't it
Seeing him frowning and anxious, Xiao Ting became interested, "Are you dumb? Say something quickly, and fart quickly."
Li Mo was startled for a moment, then took a few deep breaths, and then reluctantly explained, "I don't know where to start."
Xiao Ting now understood that the story was too complicated, she tossed her hair and put it all behind her head, it was so wet and uncomfortable.
"Then, just tell me what you need me to do."
