Chapter 135: Contest on the river

Xiao Jinglin glanced at the maid who was sitting on her knees and boiling water and tea. Hong Ying stood up immediately, got up neatly and walked out of the painting boat.
Xiao Jinglin did not move, and Ren Yaoqi did not move.
Hong Ying returned shortly after she was about to report, but a woman's voice sounded outside: "Xiao Jinglin, don't you know that the rivers in the city are not allowed to sail? Or do you know that you have committed the crime by your own identity?"
This voice sounded very young and should be about the same as Xiao Jinglin's, with undisguised sarcasm and displeasure.
Obviously the girl outside knew Xiao Jinglin, but Ren Yaoqi was a little curious about the girl in Yanbei's family who would dare to talk to the princess of Yanbei Palace.
After hearing this, Xiao Jinglin didn't even express her expression. She didn't seem to have any intention to come forward. She only whispered to Hong Ying and said, "Tell the ship's lady to leave the city through the gate in the north."
Hong Ying turned around and went out again without any hesitation. Sitting in the painting boat, Ren Yaoqi could still hear Hong Ying talking to the boat girl in the stern.
The other girl made the tea and poured a cup for Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi.
The neglected woman standing on the bridge was very angry, and her voice grew louder and louder: "Xiao Jinglin, have you heard me? Come out quickly! The gates of the two waterways in the city are for you to play around. Is that right? The Yanbei Palace's face has been lost to you! Xiao Jingyue, don't you want to stop her ship!"
Xiao Jingyue? The third son of the Xiao family?
"Cousin, you don't know. This painting boat was brought back from Kyoto by the second gothic. Don't look at it small, the price of a painting boat is enough to buy a big house. It's not that the third brother doesn't stop, the third brother is bold. Erban, I can't afford it if it's broken." The man's leisurely voice sounded slowly, but it added fuel to the fire.
"Look at you so good! Go and stop the boat for me. If the boat breaks, I will count it!" the woman said arrogantly.
Then a few voluminous voices sounded, it should be the woman who ordered her entourage instead.
At this time, Ren Yaoqi could already guess who the girl was. Princess Yanbei, who was born as a princess, had only one daughter, Xiao Wei, who was married to Ningxia General Soldier Wu Xiaohe. Xiao Wei also gave birth to only one daughter. The one outside who dared to challenge Xiao Jinglin should be Xiao Wei's daughter, the cousin of Yanbei Palace.
This Miss Wu is not looking at a fuel-efficient lamp.
Ren Yaoqi was thinking about this complicated relationship, but he heard several bumps and bumps on the ship's wall, and then the ship shook.
Ren Yaoqi didn't expect that people outside would really dare to do something. He didn't have any precautions for a while and hit the short table.
The tea bowl on the low table was shook, and the hot tea made by Dan Dan was about to be spilled on Ren Yaoqi. Sitting next to him, Xiao Jinglin hurriedly pulled Ren Yaoqi over with his eyes and hands, and the tea flowed down the corner of the desk onto the lichen in the boat, which got wet and steamed.
"Miss, did you get it hot?" The apple standing on the opposite side almost fell to the ground. After standing firm, he rushed over and asked worriedly.
Xiao Jinglin also looked over with concern.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "The princess pulled me away in time, it was not hot."
There was a "puff" sound of falling into the water outside, and someone exclaimed.
"The princess, they used the bamboo poles to knock our boat girl into the water."
" Hongying probe took a look and turned back.
The people on the bridge found the bamboo poles from nowhere, and prevented her from boarding the boat after she was thrown into the water. They also used the bamboo poles to support the outer wall of the painted boat to force in one direction.
Ren Yaoqi felt that the painting boat with the bow of the boat pointed at the bridge hole suddenly turned sideways, because the situation on the bridge could be seen clearly because of the change of direction.
A tall woman in a purple dress stood on the edge of the bridge, her mouth slightly raised and looked at this side, seeming to be very satisfied with the embarrassment of the people on the boat. Standing next to her was a handsome teenager, touching his chin and watching lazily, as if watching a good show without interfering.
There are also three or four servant women who are following the staff with bamboo poles that are ten feet long, struggling on the painting boat. Some ordinary people stood a little further away, watching to join in the fun without knowing why. But looking at this formation, no one dared to make a noise.
As the painting boat was spinning around on the river, Ren Yaoqi felt that his head was shaking a little dizzy.
Xiao Jinglin finally stood up and said, "You are looking at Miss Ren here." As he said, she walked out of the warehouse.
"Princess, be careful not to fall into the river." Ren Yaoqi went to pull Xiao Jinglin, but did not stop.
Xiao Jinglin nodded, and in turn comforted Ren Yaoqi: "Don't worry, I know water."
"..."
Ren Yaoqi wanted to cry without tears, what does this have to do with water? She was a woman who fell into the river as a dignified princess. Is she going to swim ashore in front of everyone?
Xiao Jinglin had already exited the hatch. Ren Yaoqi discovered that even when the painting boat was unstable, Xiao Jinglin's pace was not affected and was still stable. Ren Yaoqi then remembered that Xiao Jinglin was different from ordinary women like them, she knew how to work, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Regardless of whether people outside could see her, Ren Yaoqi hurriedly sat down by the window and watched Xiao Jinglin out of the cabin.
Xiao Jinglin grabbed a bamboo pole that stretched out in front of her, and slammed it to her chest. Without seeing how hard she was, a middle-aged woman with a big waist and a round waist flew off the bridge on the other end of the pole, and then " "Puff" fell into the water.
The other women were a little scared when they saw this, and wanted to back off. The purple-clothed girl immediately got a cold face, took the bamboo pole in the hands of a woman who was close to her, and waved it towards this side. She didn't greet the ship's body like those women, but rushed straight to Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin raised her hand and swung her pole back with the bamboo pole in her hand. The girl in purple turned her wrist to avoid it, and then immediately swung it over. The two stood on the bridge one by one, and the other stood on the bow and fought.
Ren Yaoqi looked at it for a while and saw some doorways. The lady in the purple dress she looked at was also good at fist, and because she stood on a high place and took advantage of the geographical advantage, she did not show defeat for the time being. .
Ren Yaoqi had a headache, what kind of a problem.
"Cousin, what do you mean?" Xiao Jinglin finally spoke out, her voice still faint. This was the first thing she said to the people on the bridge from the beginning to now.
The woman on the bridge snorted coldly: "Since you call me a cousin, I will take care of you, lest you don't know that Tiangao Dihou will be embarrassed everywhere by the power of the Yanbei Palace!"
Ren Yaoqi thought that because of Xiao Jinglin's temperament, she would be silent again, but she didn't want to hear Xiao Jinglin's quiet voice: "Since you also said that I lost the face of the Yanbei Palace, what has it to do with you? Do you want to change your surname to Xiao?"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but want to laugh, she felt that she still didn't know Xiao Jinglin enough...
"You..." The girl in purple was so angry that her face was a little distorted.
There was someone next to him who "poof," laughed out loud, and the girl in purple had a cold face. She immediately turned her head, but was hit by Xiao Jinglin in the arm.
With that sound, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel pain.
The girl in purple turned pale with pain, but she did not turn her head to Gu Xiao Jinglin for a while.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the bridge and was also taken aback.
At some point there were three more people standing on the bridge. Among them, the slender young man with a long sword eyebrow and starry eyes who was leaning on the bridge railing and hooking his mouth was Yun Wenfang.
For a while, Yun Wenfang said that he was in Ren's family, but he always saw the dragon without seeing the head and didn't know what he was doing. Since Qiu Yun returned to the academy, it was not easy for him to hang out in the backyard of Ren's family. Ying'er was also hard to see, and she didn't know when she returned to Yunyang City.
Yun Wenfang also saw Ren Yaoqi by the window at this time, his eyes lit up, he stood up straight, and blinked towards this side.
"Princess, Miss Wu." A young man dressed as a scholar who came with Yun Wenfang gave a flick, and his voice was as clear as spring water.
When he stood up, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but give a secret compliment when he saw his face.
This young man has a very outstanding appearance. Among the men Ren Yaoqi has seen, except for Xiao Jingxi, who is not a human being, this man has the best appearance. And he carried a strong bookish aura, not like the overbearing domineering temperament that Yun Wenfang had on him, but made people feel like a spring breeze.
Facing such a man, the average woman must feel ashamed.
So the girl in Ziyi quietly put down the bamboo pole in her hand, lowered her head to cover her Dandan's arm hit by Xiao Jinglin, and called out loudly, "Young Master Yun." There was a blush on her face.
Dan Dan, the aggressive girl waving the bamboo pole, immediately changed herself and returned to the famous Shuyuan, who was just bullied. The face-changing skills are breathtaking.
Yun Wenfang looked at the young scholar dressed as a scholar, his signature smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, but with a look of coconut elm.
Ren Yaoqi reacted, this "Young Master Yun" was not called Yun Wenfang, but this young scholar who looked like a scholar. Yun Wenfang's brother Yun Wenting.
Ren Yaoqi had seen Yun Wenting in his last life, but it was a long time ago, and he can't remember his appearance, but vaguely remembers his appearance.
In the previous life, her fourth sister, Ren Yaoyin, was a concubine for Yun Wenting. As for the wife of Yun Wenting, Ren Yaoqi had no impression.
