Xue Poye was about to refuse, when he saw a few Hongru staring at him, his eyes gave people the impression that Xue Poye must not be able to write a good word, and Xiao Suzhen clenched her two fists together, feeling a little nervous , looking at herself, her eyes met, and she smiled sweetly, extremely charming.

Xue Poye stood up, took the wine glass, walked slowly to the window, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The West Lake is good after all the fragrances have passed, and the wolves are red, the catkins are flying, and the weeping willows are exhausted by the sun's wind. Go, feel the spring sky, hang down the curtain, and the two swallows return in the drizzle." After singing, he drank the wine in the glass, indescribably chic and romantic.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Moting was the first to shout, and everyone immediately followed behind, cheering, only Liu Tuo looked gloomy, he thought Xue Poye would be a part of the army, but let him show off his prestige.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Xue Poye's mouth, and he secretly laughed in his heart: "Could the mulberry picking written by Ouyang be bad?"

Putting the wine glass back on the table, he said calmly: "Today is a gathering of all the great Confucian scholars. I feel a little ashamed to come here rashly. Please leave first!" After a circle of salutes, he smiled faintly and was about to leave.

Today is really not very happy, there is no reason to stay any longer.

Xiao Moting's voice suddenly came from behind: "Tell Tan Ziqing that he doesn't deserve a student like you!"

Xue Poye was stunned, really didn't understand why Xiao Moting popped out such a sentence when he arrived, he didn't answer, he lifted the bead curtain and came out of the cabin.

As soon as I got out of the cabin door and came to the bow, a fresh breath came to my nostrils, and I felt extremely comfortable all over my body.

Just as he was looking for Hanxiang to take him back to the shore, he heard soft footsteps behind him, a smug smile appeared on Xue Poye's face, and Xiao Suzhen still came out.

"Brother Xue Shi, I... I'm sorry!" Xiao Suzhen's soft voice was filled with apology.

Xue Poye looked back at her, seeing that her pretty face was slightly red, and her head was slightly lowered, feeling a little uneasy.

"Shimei, why do you say that?" Xue Poye touched his nose and said softly.

Xiao Suzhen still said anxiously: "I... I invited you here... I thought my father would like you... and you helped me save my father...!"

Although the words were a little unclear, Xue Poye knew that Xiao Suzhen invited herself here because she helped Xiao Moting and was very talented, so she wanted to introduce herself to some important figures in the Hangzhou literary world, and also to let Xiao Suzhen Mo Ting thanked him face to face, but unexpectedly Xiao Mo Ting treated him with extremely contempt and disdain, not to mention courtesy.

Xiao Suzhen didn't expect such a result, if Xue Poye hadn't been calm and eloquent, she might return home humiliated today, and felt very uneasy.

"Sister Shi, don't think too much. Brother knows that people with ability will have character, and that is the true temperament. When I saw your father for the first time today, he was like a god. I admire him very much. It's really admirable to have a toast with him. It's a great honor, you don't have any other thoughts, don't worry about it!" Xue Poye laughed, very magnanimous.

Only then did Xiao Suzhen show a bright smile, and the uneasiness on her face gradually receded.

"I don't know where Hanxiang went?" Xue Poye looked at the small boat next to the painting boat: "I don't know how to row a boat!"

Xiao Suzhen smiled sweetly, and suddenly walked to the side of the boat, carefully boarded the boat, turned her head and waved: "Brother Shi, come here, I will take you there!"

Xue Poye wondered, "You know how to row a boat?"

Xiao Suzhen smiled and said: "Boat West Lake, my father often brought me here when I was young, and then I started to learn how to row with my father."

Xue Poye was overjoyed and jumped over in a hurry. His jump immediately made the boat sway from side to side. Xiao Suzhen couldn't stand still for a while, and she was about to fall. Xue Poye hurriedly grabbed her. on the arm.

In desperation, Xiao Suzhen also reached out and grabbed Xue Poye's hand, holding both hands tightly together.

"I...!" Standing still, Xiao Suzhen was embarrassed, let go of her hand, and said angrily, "Why are you so reckless, can this little boat withstand your jump like this?"

When Xue Poye saw her complaining, the youngest daughter's expression was revealed, and his heart was pounding, and he couldn't help saying: "Sister Shi, you...you are so beautiful!"

Xiao Suzhen was startled at first, but when she realized it, she was extremely shy immediately, her pink face flushed, she bit her lip, and cursed softly: "Brother Shi, you...you are not serious!" boating.

Xue Poye saw that although she scolded her lightly, there was a hint of joy in her eyes, and said in her heart: "Which girl doesn't want to hear compliments from others, it seems that my charming young sister is no exception." Look at her beautiful and slender The back view is filled with emotion.

The small boat was swinging lightly, but Xiao Suzhen rowed the boat in a decent manner, although the speed was slow, she cut through the water and headed towards the shore.

The fragrance of lotus blossoms permeates the West Lake, and small boats in twos and threes are rippling among the red flowers and green leaves.

Xue Poye looked at the graceful Xiao Suzhen, with the beautiful scenery of the West Lake beside him, and whispered softly: "Ice muscles and bones, since it is cool and sweatless. The wind from the water palace is full of fragrance. The embroidered curtain is opened, and a bright moon peeks at people. Sleeping, the pillows and the hairpins and temples are chaotic. Get up and join hands, the courtyard is silent, and the stars are scattered across the Milky Way. How is the night? Dao fleeting time, secretly changing."

He stands in the boat, and beside him are beauties rowing oars, reciting poems and odes. It is a picture of a talented man and a beautiful woman rowing a boat on the West Lake, which makes others envious.

Xiao Suzhen's tender body was shocked, and she stopped her hands, and the boat stopped in the lake immediately.

Xue Poye wondered: "Shimei, you... what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Suzhen turned around, her pink face was a little sentimental, her beautiful eyes flowed, she looked at Xue Poye, and after a while, she said quietly: "You can always come up with such good words, you... you can always come up with such good words! "It actually revealed the color of infinite nostalgia.

The two of them were facing each other, not far away, Xue Poye could already smell the fragrance from her body, that fragrance blended with the fragrance of lotus, it was indescribably wonderful, refreshing and intoxicating.

The two stood opposite each other quietly, the atmosphere was charming and somewhat ambiguous, they didn't notice that beside the painting boat, Liu Tuo had his hands behind his back, his eyes were like eagles, he looked at the small boat in the lake with sharp eyes, in those eyes, Even with deep hatred and terrifying murderous intent.

Xue Poye didn't let out a laugh until Xiao Suzhen lowered her head in embarrassment. From the corner of her eye, she finally saw Liu Tuo on the boat, pretending not to see it, and leaned towards Xiao Suzhen instead.

Xiao Suzhen started paddling again, and walked slowly, shuttling among the lotus and green leaves.

Xue Poye pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Sister Shi, I have something to ask for my brother's advice!"

"Brother, it doesn't matter if you say it, but my younger sister will naturally know everything!" Xiao Suzhen said softly.

Xue Poye rubbed his nose, saw Liu Tuo slowly entering the cabin from the side of his eyes, and then said leisurely: "Is that senior brother of yours the young master of Liu Guogong?"

Xiao Suzhen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Xue Poye asked such a question, but immediately nodded in response: "Yes, he is the only son of Duke Liu!"

Xue Poye chuckled and asked, "Who is Duke Liu? Is he a big official?"

Xiao Suzhen pondered for a moment, and then said: "There are three great royal families in our Great Chu, and the Liu family is one of them. Duke Liu is the head of the Liu family!"

Xue Poye became interested, and continued to ask: "Three great royal families? What?"

"It's not a thing!" Xiao Suzhen turned her head and gave him a blank look. She was charming and charming, and explained: "Their ancestors were generals who fought in the north and south with the founding prince of Chu, made countless achievements, and rescued the prince of Chu in times of crisis. The most powerful of the three great generals. After unifying the world, the Marquis of Chu bestowed the three surnames as the royal family, and the head of the family was named the Duke of the country, and hereditary no replacement."

It was only then that Xue Poye realized that Liu Tuo's ancestor was a hero in the founding of the country, with a prominent family background.

"Besides the Liu family, which other two are there?"

"In addition to the Liu family, there are also the Ye family and the Situ family. The patriarchs are Liu Guogong, Ye Guogong and Yong Guogong!" Xiao Suzhen said eloquently, but she knew a lot about the royal families.

"Yong Guogong?" Xue Poye wondered: "The first two families are named dukes with their surnames. Why is this Situ family called Yong Guogong instead of Situ Guogong?"

Xiao Suzhen smiled "puchi" and said, "Mr. Situ is such an awkward name, and this title was granted by the Marquis of Chu, so it cannot be changed. The first Duke of Yong has followed Marquis Chu since Yongzhou, and the place where Marquis Chu raised troops It is in Yongzhou in the northwest."

Xue Poye nodded, he understood, and asked: "Are these three royal families very powerful?"

Xiao Suzhen was silent for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "I heard from my father that after the establishment of the capital of the Marquis of Chu, there were three major garrison armies in Kyoto, and each of the three major families controlled one. It was not until more than ten years ago that His Majesty the Emperor gradually reduced the number of troops. Their military power is now controlled by the three major garrison armies in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, although the three major families still have children serving in the army, but they have no control power."

Xue Poye sighed: "The power is in the hands of outsiders. The emperor is always uncomfortable. He is worried all day long that these people will rebel, and he will try his best to take back the power."

This is a rebellious statement, Xiao Suzhen was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Xue Poye realized that now it is the Great Chu Kingdom under the feudal system, so you should be more careful when you speak.

"Although there is no control right, these three garrison troops have been ruled by the three major families for nearly a hundred years, and the connections inside are intricate, and the three major families still have influence in it, and many of the three major families have their children marching in the army and occupying important positions. There are not a few civil and military officials in the three major families of officials at all levels in Dachu, and these three royal families are the most powerful families besides the royal family." Xiao Suzhen said while paddling, and the boat approached the shore.

Xue Poye was a little surprised, he didn't expect the power of the three royal families to be so powerful, Liu Tuo's backer is really tough, when the Duke of Liu came to Hangzhou to say goodbye, Xiao Suzhen might still fall into Liu Tuo's arms, Thinking of Xiao Suzhen's plump, white and tender body kneeling under Liu Tuo in the future, she was so angry that she blurted out, "I'm such an asshole!"
