Zheng Xiao Mistake: The Mistake of Rebirth Provoked the Cold Master

The person who spoke was a young man in shorts, dressed in bright colors, standing on the bow of a brightly colored boat.

The young man spoke a long speech in a cheerful voice. After listening to it, Zhu Zheng roughly understood why the "Flower Boat Night Party" was named "Flower Boat".

Next, the young man said a lot of polite words to the Grand Tutor, but Zhu Zheng ignored them and just stood on tiptoe to look west.

On the river floated many slender bamboo-covered boats, with their ends tilted up, all splendidly decorated with jewels and precious stones. The hulls were covered with flowers and pearls, and on the tops of the boats were various silk lanterns, with pictures of swans with curved necks, double dragons playing with pearls, fairies holding up the moon...it was a dazzling sight.

But the boat where the young man with flowers and willows was standing was not very luxurious. On the awning was a picture of a pair of swallows holding a spring peach, with light green pillars and pink silk windows, and fine green bamboo curtains hanging on all sides, covered with a layer of soft aquamarine gauze, and a pair of diamond-shaped and gradually colored glazed curtains that were shining.

With the moonlight swaying in the waves, it appears particularly elegant and quiet.

"Good taste." Zhu Zheng praised and turned to look at Rong Yan, "Did the master choose it?"

Rong Yan didn't answer. He took Zhu Zheng to the boat and sat down. "Are you tired?"

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked. Once I asked, I realized that Zhu Zheng indeed felt a little tired. She got off the car downstream of the river and walked to the west pier, then took a boat across the river back to where the carriages were parked on the east side. It was a perfect combination of work and rest. Zhu Zheng sincerely admired this arrangement, which was really appropriate and had no shortcomings.

The cabin is decorated in an equally elegant style, with elegant fragrances and elegant tea. It is elegant to the extreme.

There were bamboo curtains on all four sides of the boat, and Zhu Zheng felt much more relaxed, but she still refused to take off the curtain on her head. Rong Yan gently lifted it to reveal her face, but did not insist that she take it off.

The moon was dim and the wind was gentle. Zhu Zheng was lying on the side of the boat and having a great time playing in the water.

People who do business will do business anywhere. There are also merchant boats selling small items on the river, and they shout out their wares when they pass by the flower boats.

When a merchant boat selling lanterns approached, I saw a lantern with a jade phoenix holding a pearl hanging on the signboard on the bow, which flickered on and off, looking very vivid and lovely.

Rong Yan saw Zhu Zheng stretching her neck to look, and asked from behind, "Do you want that?"

"Aren't you curious, sir?" Zhu Zheng answered casually, "Why is it still flashing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Yan stood up and left the cabin. When he came back, he was holding the Jade Phoenix Pearl Lamp in his hand.

Zhu Zheng took it happily. This lantern was worthy of being a signature lamp. The two phoenixes were in graceful postures, holding a pearl as big as a bird's egg in their beaks, which sparkled brightly. When the handle on the side was shaken, the phoenixes would revolve around the pearl, appearing to dance for it. It was truly novel and lovely.

The cabin was too bright, and the light did not show its beauty. Zhu Zheng felt that the light was not enough, so she hugged the lantern in her arms and lowered the curtain.

After watching for a while, Rong Yan suddenly opened the curtain and leaned half of his body in.

He lowered his head to glance at the lamp, then looked at the smiling face illuminated by the lamp. The curtain fence illuminated by the lantern was illuminated from the inside, casting the shadows of the two people against each other on it.

A faint light flickered, and there were tiny stars in Rong Yan's eyes, like a spoonful of melted honey.

"Do you like it?" he asked softly.

"I like it." Zhu Zheng nodded with a smile.

But still more curious.

The wick was a semi-transparent spherical cover made from sheep horns. Zhu Zheng covered one eye and put it on to look.

There were actually several living creatures inside, flapping their fragile wings against the ball cover, making a crackling sound.

"It turned out to be a firefly." Zhu Zheng smiled when he saw it clearly, "It's locked inside."

Rong Yan looked at her drooping eyelashes and asked, "Want to let it go?"

Zhu Zheng nodded, "I just feel a little sorry for him..."

Just as he said that, Rong Yan opened the sheep-horn mask. A few fireflies struggled a few times, flew up in an instant, flew around the cabin twice, and turned into small bright spots in the sky in the distance.

While Zhu Zheng was watching the insects flying, he picked up the candlestick and dripped half of the wax into the ball cover, put in half a piece of bamboo thread, lit it, and handed it back to Zhu Zheng.

"Let's continue playing."

The lamp was a good one and it did not harm any living creatures. Zhu Zheng was very happy and was delighted from beginning to end.

The boat journey was slow and the night breeze was gentle.

When they reached the narrower shore, Zhu Zheng straightened up and looked outside. Suddenly, her eyes widened and her heart moved.

There was a lot of people gathered in front of a shop on the shore, apparently buying something food.

"Are you hungry, sir?" she asked.

Rong Yan also raised his eyes to look at the shore, "Want to eat that?"

"Want to eat."

Zhu Zheng didn’t even know what was being sold, she just prayed that it was food.

Rong Yan raised his hand and signaled, "Stop the boat."

The boatman responded and quickly stopped the boat near the shore.

"Your Excellency is so kind." Zhu Zheng forced out a smile like a sunflower. "My feet hurt a little. Can I wait for you on the boat?"

Unexpectedly, the boatman also showed up with a sunflower-like smile, "You and the girl, take a rest. I'll go buy it right away."

Zhu Zheng let out an anxious "ah" and suddenly covered her mouth.

Rong Yan's eyes dimmed and he looked at Zhu Zheng meaningfully.

"Do you want me to go?" he asked.

Seeing a turn for the better, Zhu Zheng asked cautiously, "Is it okay?"

Rong Yan was silent for a moment, "Wait for me here."

He stood up and left the cabin.

Zhu Zheng looked up to make sure that the Grand Tutor had reached the shore. After her back was completely submerged in the crowd, she leaped off the boat as nimbly as a kite stalking an eagle.

The boatman called out from behind, "Girl? Where are you going?"

"There are three urgent things in life: go and come back."

Zhu Zheng was faster than he spoke and disappeared in just a few steps.

Just now she saw a familiar alley entrance, which was not far from Qinshui Bay. She began to think of a reason to get Rong Yan away in a hurry.

The first reason I thought of was hasty and crude, and I thought I would have to try a few more times, but I didn't expect that she could really get rid of it with just a few words.

The lights were also bright in Qinshui Bay. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Huang had not closed the shop yet. He was very happy to see Zhu Zheng and said that her craftsmanship had improved. He specially recommended the lightweight curling grass model with cool jade flakes and sweat-absorbent cool silk fabric, which was very suitable for summer.

Zhu Zheng left a sentence "Manager Huang, you will make a fortune sooner or later" and left in a hurry.

Zhu Zheng had a smooth trip there and a smooth return.

It was just that he had taken off all his belongings while talking to Shopkeeper Huang. Mu Li had no time to put them back on, so he just held them all in his arms and his new belly. Zhu Zheng went into a dark alley to reorganize his equipment, when he suddenly heard a voice above his head, "A Zheng?"

Zhu Zheng looked around but didn't see anyone. She thought she had seen a ghost and asked nervously, "Who is calling me?"

"It's you!" A person suddenly jumped down from the roof above his head, and landed heavily on the ground with a clang of nails all over his body.

The birdcage on his body almost hit Zhu Zheng's head. A big red-headed parrot was locked inside, flapping its wings twice. A string of copper wind chimes and four hydrangea incense drums were hung on the man's head. Zhu Zheng struggled to identify the man's face and was shocked.

"Young Master Fang?"

Zhu Zheng remembered that she walked past him when she came here just now, and she thought he was a peddler.

Fang Xichen poked his head out from under the clothes and said excitedly, "A Zheng! You made me look so hard!"

Zhu Zheng was shocked by his enthusiastic greetings. Logically, they were not so close that they felt like they had been apart for a long time. She laughed dryly and asked, "What did Master Fang want to see me for?"

"Fan, Ah Zheng!" Fang Xichen continued excitedly, "My fan! You didn't forget everything, did you?"

Zhu Zheng: “Ah…”

Yes, I forgot everything.

Fang Xichen saw Zhu Zheng's confusion and turned around twice in a hurry, "Summer is coming soon, I need it urgently, urgently, understand?"

Zhu Zheng felt guilty and could only comfort him by saying, "Young Master Fang, can't you use another fan first?"

"How can that be possible? I've already boasted my bull to the sky, if it falls down, it will fall to its death." Fang Xichen's big eyes were bright, "A Zheng, A Zheng, I'm counting on you now, you must not forget again. I was so anxious a few days ago that I went to the Dowager Concubine's Palace to look for you several times, but the Dowager Concubine's attendant said you just left. It's really unlucky that you didn't come back three or five times."

Hearing the title of Toffee, Zhu Zheng immediately became alert, as if she was stepping on ice, probing, "Have you seen Toffee?"

Fang Xichen sighed, "I've never seen him before. Every time I only see the concubine's attendant named Lei, who is almost familiar with him."

Zhu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. She had known for a long time that the matter of the Concubine was unreliable. She had thought of many risks of being exposed, but she expected that with the thoughtful Grand Tutor to back her up, it shouldn't be that dangerous.

Unexpectedly, she made a mistake in agreeing to the fan, which led to some unexpected crises.

The matter suddenly became a little tricky, so Zhu Zheng made up a few lies to fool people and promised to get him a fan within ten days. Finally, she coaxed Fang Xichen to let her go.

The two of them walked out of the dark alley together. Fang Xichen asked curiously as they walked, "A Zheng came out alone? Didn't she even bring a companion with her?"

Zhu Zheng avoided the main point and asked, "Isn't Young Master Fang also me?"

"I'm not alone. I'm with my study partner Sanhong." Fang Xichen patted his chest and said sympathetically, "It's not safe for you to be a girl. Let's go shopping together."

"No, no." Zhu Zheng waved her hands repeatedly. She had already wasted long enough and had to hurry back to the boat to find Rong Yan.

After saying goodbye to Fang Xichen briefly, Zhu Zheng hurried towards Xiangsi River in a few quick steps. Unexpectedly, Fang Xichen followed her at a jog and she couldn't get rid of him at all.

Zhu Zheng had no choice but to stop and said, "Young Master Fang, you don't have to see me off. Let's say goodbye now."

"I didn't send you off. I was going this way too. I wanted to go to the river to watch the fun."

"What's the excitement?"

"You haven't heard?"

"What did you hear..."

Fang Xichen suddenly looked mysterious when he heard this. He leaned close to Zhu Zheng and lowered his voice and said, "The Grand Tutor is having a tryst on the river with his hidden mistress..."
