After wearing the book and the future boss HE

Xi Weiwei heard that several people planned to stay here for one night, and was about to find a place to live, so she said to them: "You can live with us."

It turned out that Xi Weiwei's aunt opened a homestay on the ancient street. Xi Weiwei and her friends rented a small courtyard inside. There are six rooms in total. They currently live in three rooms, and three rooms are vacant.

"Zhong Le's room can still accommodate one person, right?" Xi Weiwei asked.

Zhong Le said, "That's right, you can live alone with me, and the rest of the three rooms will be divided among the others, just right."

So the matter was settled like this, Xi Weiwei and Mei Shan took Chu Yan and the others to see the house.

Aunt Xi Weiwei's homestay is on South Street. They crossed the small bridge, and after a few detours, they saw a quaint small building.

"It's here."

Xi Weiwei led them through the door.

The small building has white walls and blue tiles, and most of the inside is a wooden structure. There are many seasonal flowers on the first floor, which looks very warm.

Xi Weiwei greeted her aunt, and took Chu Yan and the others to the backyard to look at the house.

A lot of flowers and plants were planted in the backyard. The stone tables and benches were hidden among the flowers and trees. There were also swings and a small pond for raising koi. The two girls, Lin Qianmian and Duan Jialin, fell in love with it immediately.

They went to another room that was available, a double room, and it was very clean.

Everyone felt that there was no problem, so they went to the front desk to pay the room fee and set up the room.

Arrange the accommodation problem, and the time is noon.

Aunt Xi Weiwei invited them to stay for dinner, so they had a meal at the hotel at noon.

After eating, Xi Weiwei and the others continued to look at the stalls and changed the others to come back for dinner, while Chu Yan and the others continued to play.

Considering that they decided to stay here for one night, after visiting the ancient street and the Gongyuan, they discussed it and decided to go from the front lake to the back lake today, and not go in to see the Xiting garden, and wait until tomorrow from the mountain. Come down from Xi Temple and visit Xiting Garden by the way.

They walked up the long bridge and looked down from the bridge.

The water in front of the lake is as clear as a mirror, and most of the green hills and sky are included in the water.

There are a lot of people on the shore of the lake, and a Xiting Garden on the island in the middle of the lake stands proudly on the water, and the towering old trees are covered with rich greenery.

The water surface shimmers under the sunshine. From time to time, there are mandarin ducks and wild ducks playing in the lake, and there are also tourists traveling in boats.

It is an open view that is astonishing to look at.

Everyone lay on the bridge and watched for a while. There were a few white waterfowls flying by on the water. Duan Jialin quickly picked up the SLR and took a few shots.

……

Many ships, large and small, parked on the ferry.

Lu Kaisheng asked Huo Qiao: "Brother Huo, what kind of boat do you want to choose? Self-rowing or electric? I can do both."

Someone next to them happened to choose a self-rowing boat, and was happily starting to row with an oar, Chu Yan couldn't help but look at it.

Huo Qiao glanced at him, "Want to row by yourself?"

Chu Yan hesitated, "Is it difficult to draw by yourself?"

Huo Qiao curled his lips, "It's not difficult." He said to Lu Kai, "Choose one."

Qin Mo immediately raised his hands in agreement: "Yes! It's interesting to draw by yourself!"

The others had no objections, so they chose a self-rowing boat for eight people.

After putting on life jackets and packing up all the important items, they confirmed with the staff the points of attention such as the docking place, and the group boarded the ship.

At the beginning, when they were rowing, the hull spun a little, but under Huo Qiao's command, everyone gradually found the rhythm, and their boat broke through the waves and started to move forward.

Everyone immediately cheered, the breeze on the lake brought some coolness, but the sun shone warmly on people.

With the movement of their oars, the boat got farther and farther away from the shore. When the boat rowed a long way and looked back, the ferry became a small point.

Xiting Lake is really big. It took them an hour to paddle from the front lake to the back lake talking and laughing.

Later, because we were a little tired, everyone slowed down.

Fortunately, they were already approaching the shore of the back lake at this time, Lin Qianmian looked at the shore, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Is that the pier over there?"

Everyone looked over there, and sure enough, they found a pier that could dock.

The boat they rented does not need to return, and the boat can also be returned at the pier in Houhu.

So everyone adjusted their direction and rowed to the pier. There were other boats beside them, and an electric boat rushed to the pier ahead of them with a "swish".

"Hey! The speed is amazing." Qin Mo said depressedly.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

It took them a lot of effort to dock the boat firmly at the pier, and the staff took a rope to tie their boat up.

The wooden bridge at the pier was built a little high, and Huo Qiao had long legs, so he jumped on it easily.

After he landed, he turned around and held out a hand to Chu Yan.

Chu Yan blinked, and took Huo Qiao's hand, and Huo Qiao pulled him up with all his strength.

Chu Yan didn't stop the car a little bit, and bumped into Huo Qiao. He found that even after playing for a day, Huo Qiao still had that very faint scent of cold fragrance.

Huo Qiao helped him and asked, "Tired?"

Chu Yan shook his head, and couldn't help saying to Huo Qiao, "Huo Qiao, you smell so sweet."

Huo Qiao: "?"

He frowned, "What are you crazy about?"

"Really."

Chu Yan sniffed him, "It's very fragrant, and it's different from other people's smell."

Huo Qiao gave a "tsk", put his hand against Chu Yan's head, and flicked his forehead.

"Hey?"

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, he rubbed the place where he was bounced, and followed Huo Qiao to pull Xiao Chengcheng up.

After everyone went ashore, they returned the boat and showed their tickets to the lakeside management office, and the group started to stroll around the shore.

Besides them, there are other tourists on the shore.

However, because many places in the back lake are private gardens that are not open to the public, in order to avoid too many tourists and too noisy, there is a time limit for the purchase of tickets here, which is why there are not as many tourists here as in the front lake. Quiet.

The scenery of Houhu Lake is very beautiful, and many ancient buildings are well preserved, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

In addition to private gardens, Houhu also has many commercial buildings.

The Xiting Lake State Hotel is built in Houhu, and there are even hot spring hotels or resorts here, but the prices are very expensive.

Everyone walked in along the shore of the lake, and on the way they saw private kitchen restaurants with names and names they couldn't. They also passed a tavern that was very tasteful at first sight.

They continued to walk in, passing private gardens with thick gates, and the "Feng Cong Chess Club" with vigorous plaques, and saw many houses with nice names.

Suddenly, Lin Qianmian pointed to the front and asked, "Huh? Is that a place for drinking tea or a private residence?"

I saw that it was an extremely classical and elegant door, with the word "Luyuan" written on the plaque, but there were round wooden plaques hanging from the walls on both sides of the door, engraved with the word "tea".

"Perhaps for tea?"

The door was half-closed, Duan Jialin looked inside, and saw the quiet path and winding corridors with vegetation and trees inside, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus wafting from the courtyard wall, Duan Jialin couldn't help but raised his hand against the "Lu Garden" "The door of the door took several pictures.

While she was patting, someone suddenly pushed the door out from the half-closed door.

When they saw each other, they were all startled.

The person who opened the door was wearing a professional suit and 10cm black high heels, with short hair and exquisite makeup.

She exchanged glances with the people at the door, and then her eyes fell on Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao frowned almost as soon as he saw her frown.

At this time, another person came out of the dew.

As soon as she came out, everyone suddenly felt a sense of astonishment.

I saw the person who came has a graceful figure, wearing a sparrow green cheongsam, embroidered with velvet flowers with white thread, skin as white as porcelain, and wearing an emerald green jadeite bracelet.

Her long black hair was pulled lightly, revealing a white swan neck, and her eyebrows and eyes were even more beautiful, like a lotus in the water, both elegant and elegant.

"Damn," Qin Mo couldn't help but whispered, "What kind of peerless beauty is this?"

When the woman came out and saw the people at the door, she was startled for a moment, but her surprise was only for a short moment, and she quickly put it away, as if there was nothing in this world that was worth spending her emotions on.

Her eyes fell on Huo Qiao, and then she said in a very flat voice: "Huo Qiao."

Chu Yan and the group all turned to look at Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao frowned, his face looked cold, he paused, and called out, "Mom."

His sound was like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Qin Mo even looked left and right, his mouth opened wide in surprise.

Chu Yan was startled, and understood the identity of the visitor.

He thought she was Meng Ling, Huo Qiao's mother, the head of the century-old Meng family.

……

Huo Qiao hadn't seen Meng Ling for a long time.

The last time they met was during the Chinese New Year, she accompanied Huo Weiping to a banquet, and went home briefly to have a New Year's Eve dinner.

At that time, there were no more than twelve words spoken to Huo Qiao throughout the whole process.

One sentence is "Huo Qiao".

One sentence is "I will ask my assistant to give you a New Year's gift".

……

Hearing Huo Qiao's voice, the short-haired woman said with a sigh of relief: "Mr. Meng, the young master..."

Meng Ling glanced at her and said, "You go and do your work first."

"Okay," Assistant Meng Ling responded immediately, nodded to Huo Qiao again, and then quickly got into the car parked beside him, and the car drove out soon.

Only then did Meng Ling speak lightly: "The yard I bought two years ago was only repaired this year, and I want to turn it into a tea house."

She looked at Huo Qiao, smiled and asked, "Why did you think of looking for me?"

Chu Yan blinked, and he suddenly realized that although Meng Ling was smiling, her smile was very shallow and didn't seem to reach her eyes.

And the tone she spoke to Huo Qiao was not at all like a mother and child.

In the novel that Chu Yan read, Huo Qiao's identity was written. He is the only heir of Huo Meng's two marriages.

It's just that Meng Ling didn't appear in the novel, and Chu Yan only knew that Huo Qiao had a bad relationship with his father. It seemed that the marriage relationship between Huo Qiao's parents had long existed in name only.

He frowned and couldn't help looking at Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao's eyelids drooped slightly, and there was no expression on his face.

After hearing Meng Ling's words, he laughed, "You are mistaken, I am not here to find you."

The atmosphere seemed dull, Lu Kaisheng and the others dared not speak.

Seeing Huo Qiao's appearance, Chu Yan suddenly felt distressed.

He opened his mouth and summoned up his courage to say, "Auntie, we are here to play in Xiting Lake, we were wandering around, and we just came here."

Meng Ling raised her eyebrows lightly after hearing his words. She was originally a very elegant and beautiful woman, but the raising of her eyebrows did not destroy her temperament, but instead gave her a kind of smart nobility. She really complied with that sentence , Beauty is beautiful no matter what.

Chu Yan suddenly felt that she and Huo Qiao were similar again.

"Alright," Meng Ling glanced at them and said with a slight smile, "Then come in and have a cup of tea."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and Shi Shiran walked into the dew garden, as if she was not worried that Huo Qiao would not follow.

Everyone didn't dare to make their own opinions, and all looked at Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao lowered his eyelids and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he still walked into the dew garden.

Chu Yan was startled for a moment, then quietly followed Huo Qiao.

Meng Ling led them through the deep path paved with bluestone slabs, through the winding and delicate corridors, and came to a wide courtyard.

Chu Yan noticed that many rare flowers and trees that he could not name were planted in the yard, including many camellias, and even a three-meter-high camellia.

He suddenly thought of the camellia he took from Huo Qiao, and couldn't help blinking.

Meng Ling led them into a tea house, the interior decoration was very elegant, with a touch of incense.

Looking out from the opened carved window, you can see the flying corners of the water pavilion and the gorgeous reliefs of auspicious animals. A clear spring flows down slowly on the rockery, and the arched bridge falls on the pond with lotus leaves in the pond.

If it weren't for the current situation, Chu Yan would definitely feel that living here is extremely comfortable.

As soon as they sat down in the tea room, a waiter came in to serve them lightly.

There was a slight smile on Meng Ling's face, "The tea house hasn't officially opened yet, so how about treating you to some tea meals and refreshments?"

Naturally, everyone had no objections, so Meng Ling nodded to the waiter, and the waiter said "yes" before walking out lightly.

The surrounding environment was very quiet, and the waiters didn't make a lot of noise from coming in to going out, and everyone couldn't help but didn't dare to make any noise.

Huo Qiao didn't say a word, and Meng Ling didn't care about his performance.

The more Chu Yan looked at it, the more he felt that Meng Ling's attitude towards Huo Qiao was no different from that of them.

He suddenly felt a little out of breath, and couldn't help getting closer to Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao sensed Chu Yan's approach, and lowered his eyes to glance at him.

Chu Yan secretly tugged at Huo Qiao's sleeve, then carefully reached out and took Huo Qiao's right hand under the table.

Huo Qiao paused, and raised his brows lightly, but he didn't break away from Chu Yan's hand.

The author has something to say:

Wow wow wow I'm trying my best to fill in the gaps!
