Qi Yan blushed and waved his hands quickly, "It's not what you think!"
"Brother Qi." Cheng Ke patted Qi Yan's shoulder with a calm expression, "A woman's delicate body is better, you have to think clearly."
Qi Yan was about to say something when he was interrupted by that little girl Cheng Zhu.
"Brother Qi Yan, you... Well, as long as you like it, don't let Zhan Roudai hear this."
Rong Ansheng shook his head in disapproval, "It's simply ridiculous."
Qi Yan wanted to cry but had no tears. Did he fall into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it away
"Don't talk nonsense. I am close friends with that person. If you misunderstand me, wouldn't it be upsetting?"
"My best friend?" Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows, "My best friend made an appointment to go up the mountain to practice? How come I never see you making an appointment with me?"
"Who knows which gentle town you are staying in?" Qi Yan said innocently, Cheng Ke choked and turned his head away with a bad expression.
The topic was finally put aside. Qi Yan had just been quiet for a while when that careless woman Zhan Roudai came.
Her pink and white clothes float like a fairy, her hair is elegant, her eyebrows are dark and her eyes are almond-shaped, and she is wearing pink rouge. She looks like a wonderful person.
Shi Shiran walked in, Zhan Roudai was slightly polite, "I have kept several young masters and ladies waiting for a long time."
When Cheng Ke saw her coming, he raised his usual graceful smile and said, "We have just arrived."
"Master Cheng is still so considerate." Zhan Roudai laughed softly.
Chengzhu felt unhappy when he saw his brother fawning over a beauty, and this beauty was still a concubine. He turned around and snorted coldly.
Qi Yan heard the voice and looked over. He felt that Cheng Zhu's child had a cute temper, so he moved up a few steps to coax her.
The little girl and Zhan Roudai had an inexplicable disagreement. I don't know if it was due to same-sex repulsion or something. Anyway, Chengzhu was not happy when he saw Zhan Roudai. He hated her pretending to be gentle and considerate.
After being coaxed by Qi Yan, Chengzhu was in a pretty good mood.
Zhan Roudai glanced at this place from the corner of her eye and saw the two of them chatting happily. Her bright eyes couldn't help but darken, and there was a trace of sinisterness in her misty eyes.
"Sister Chengzhu." Zhan Roudai came over and took Chengzhu's hand like a real sister, "I haven't seen you for many days, and my sister is becoming more and more lovely."
Chengzhu immediately withdrew his hand, not hiding his reluctance at all, "Who is your sister?"
"Sister Chengzhu is one year younger than me, so she is naturally my younger sister." Zhan Roudai's expression did not change.
Chengzhu was about to say something more, but when he saw Qi Yan shaking his head slightly, he bit his lip and held it back.
Naturally, Zhan Roudai saw the small movements between the two of them, and she lowered her eyes to cover up the increasingly intense ruthlessness.
The boat for traveling around the lake had been prepared, and Qi Yan and the other five got on the boat together. There were seats on the boat, as well as fruit wine and cakes.
"This apricot blossom cake was just made." Cheng Ke's nose was very good, "This fruit wine is quite old."
"Young Master Cheng has such a sharp nose." Zhan Roudai covered her face and smiled, "This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is newly made by the shop I sent to the city; this fruit wine must be old to taste."
"Miss Zhan is still thoughtful!"
…
Qi Yan ignored their words and just sat by the window, looking at the scene outside, turning his head from time to time, as if he was looking for something.
Rong Ansheng sat silently next to Qi Yan, not talking to anyone. For a moment, it seemed like it had been forgotten.
Zhan Roudai paused, then suddenly reached out to hold the wine bottle, walked to Qi Yan's table, and filled his empty glass.
"Brother Qi Yan, have some fruit bar."
Qi Yan looked over at the sound and shook his head politely, "I don't drink."
"This fruit wine is not very alcoholic. I don't have anything better to entertain you today. Brother Qi Yan, please don't dislike it." Zhan Roudai continued to persuade.
"I don't like wine, so the second lady should stop trying to persuade her." Qi Yan raised his head and motioned to Cheng Ke, who was looking straight at him, "I can't see any more of Cheng Ke's wine. The second lady can pour him a glass. "
Zhan Roudai's expression changed, she stood up awkwardly, poured a drink for Cheng Ke like a maid, and then returned to her seat with a bad look.
Except for Cheng Ke, no one had a good impression of this second lady.
Rong Ansheng was also deeply threatened by his concubine, so he didn't have a good impression of his concubine. He couldn't have close friendship with him, and he didn't take it personally.
Halfway through the lake tour, the originally deserted streets became lively.
The Apricot Blossom Festival is a traditional festival in Cangyun Continent. On this day, both men, women and children will buy some apricot blossom cakes and fruit wine, find a secluded place to drink and enjoy the flowers with their families, and share family happiness.
Some literati will also hold poetry gatherings, and some matchmakers will book a forest of apricot blossoms to attract unmarried men and women. If a couple becomes a couple, the matchmaker will get a lot of benefits.
There were more and more people on the street, and Qi Yan's eyes were overwhelmed. He looked around, but he couldn't find the person he wanted to see.
Rong Ansheng ate some pastries, but when he saw Qi Yan looking straight outside, he couldn't help but said, "What are you looking for?"
"My best friend."
"...Have you made an appointment with your best friend?"
Hearing this, Qi Yan pondered, "I guess..."
"Really?" Rong Ansheng was confused.
"Yes, after I mentioned it to him, he left without saying a word."
Rong Ansheng: "..." Then don't look for it, it's just like being rejected!
Qi Yan didn't give up the search, and Rong Ansheng couldn't say anything. The cruise was boring anyway, so it was better to let him entertain himself.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for lunch, and Cheng Ke ordered the boatman to dock.
The dining place was booked by Rongan Sheng, a very famous restaurant. Although this place cannot be said to be grand, it has a unique elegance. The most important thing is that the food here is the best in the city.
Although the food was delicious, Qi Yan seemed to be in a very low mood, and even Cheng Ke, a playboy who only cared about beauties, could tell.
Cheng Ke, who was eating the food on the plate for a while, couldn't stand it any longer. He stretched out his hand to pick up a chopstick of meat and put it into Qi Yan's plate, "You can eat it for so long with just a few green onions left!" If you don’t eat it quickly, that girl Chengzhu will eat it up!”
Chengzhu stared when he heard this, "How big is my belly? I can eat so much!"
"Don't refute! Your brother Qi Yan is in a bad mood!" Cheng Ke rarely showed his brother's dignity.
Cheng Zhu knew that Qi Yan was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much. He glared at Cheng Ke, as if to say, 'Let's settle the score when we go home'!
Qi Yan felt better when he saw the brother and sister quarreling, "Well, you guys eat quickly, I'll do it myself."
"Why is brother Qi Yan in a bad mood?" Zhan Roudai wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and asked with concern.
Qi Yan sighed and said matter-of-factly: "I'm very worried about Nishang. In previous years, Nishang celebrated the Apricot Blossom Festival with us. This year, she got the spiritual root. It should have been a celebration, but she was nowhere to be seen."
Zhan Roudai's face froze, and an unknown fire suddenly rose in her heart.
Saying this in front of her is not a slap in her face!
Before she could say anything, a chuckle suddenly came from the door of the elegant room, and then the door was opened, and a familiar figure of Qi Yan walked in.
"It seems that Mr. Qi misses our leader's wife very much."
