"Sister, are you okay?"

It was not until she heard her brother's question that she realized the arm around her waist had been withdrawn.

"Brother, I'm fine. Thank you, Brother Xu, for saving me." Wen Die bowed to Xu Wenwu.

"Since you call me Brother Xu, there's no need to be polite to me."

"Miss, I'm so sorry! There is moss growing on the stone where the oars are placed. I accidentally slipped just now and almost made you fall into the water. It's my fault!" The boatman bowed and apologized repeatedly.

Wen Die said, "Uncle, I'm fine. This was an accident. You don't need to blame yourself."

The boatman said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, Miss. You are not only beautiful, but also have such a kind heart."

Wendie smiled embarrassedly.

Wen Yuan asked, "Brother Xu, do you know Qinggong?"

Xu Wenwu nodded and said, "Yes, I have learned some."

Wen Yuan envied, "There aren't many body movement techniques, and I only know some boxing techniques to strengthen my body. I didn't expect that you are so good at light work at such a young age."

Xu Wenwu said, "Brother Wenyuan, you are too kind. I only know a little bit."

Wen Yuan said, "Brother Xu, let's go get a good seat first."

Looking around Qibao, the island was not really small. It was surrounded by flowers and green grass, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. From time to time, one or two small pavilions could be seen, and there were many people walking in groups of three or two.

Wen Yuan said, "This island actually has an owner. He has always loved admiring the beautiful scenery, and everything on the island was created by him. He felt it was a pity that he was the only one enjoying such a beautiful view, so he let everyone enjoy it for free. There is only one rule: do not damage a single flower or plant on the island. Otherwise, you must pay a compensation of one hundred taels of silver and be banned from the island for life."

Xu Wenwu said, "It seems that this island owner is a flower lover."

"Yes, there are dozens of different varieties of flowers planted on this island, and we have hired a gardener who specializes in taking care of these flowers and plants. It can be said that he is a person who loves flowers to the extreme." Wen Yuan said.

Qibao was a little surprised to see a pot of purple Phalaenopsis orchids in full bloom. Normally, Phalaenopsis orchids shouldn't bloom so early in this season. It was more than half a month early. It seemed that the gardener's skills were really top-notch.

Wen Yuan said, "Let's find a pavilion near the front. That way we'll have a wider view. Not only will we be able to see the setting sun, but we'll also be able to admire the various flowers competing for beauty."

As they moved forward, they met more and more people.

"Brother Xu, this pavilion has the least people, so let's sit down here and rest." Wen Yuan said.

The others had no objections and walked towards the pavilion together and found an empty seat.

The pavilion was built much higher than the ground and had a flight of steps. The four of them stepped over the steps. At this time, there were already three or four young men sitting in the pavilion.

When they saw the four people, they turned around to look at them. When they saw Wen Die's face, their eyes lit up.

Wen Yuan found an empty seat with the three of them and sat down, saying, "Brother Xu, look down there."

Xu Wenwu looked back at the road he came from. Looking down from a high place, everything came into view. It was indeed like a sea of flowers, so beautiful!

Below the pavilion is the sparkling lake. As the sun sets, the sunset glows half the sky red, which is reflected on the lake surface, like a red lotus blooming on the lake, making the lake surface exceptionally gorgeous.

Xu Wenwu said: "The rosy clouds are the work of the craftsmen, the divine power is the ancient Xun, the clouds are rising over the ocean, flying and soaring, there is fine wine among the flowers, and the pines and cypresses have a lingering fragrance."

"Pa pa"

Wen Yuan clapped his hands and praised, "Brother Xu is indeed a talented writer! It's just that there are only flowers but no wine, what a pity."

Wen Die's eyes were full of ambiguity when she looked at Xu Wenwu.

"I wonder what this gentleman's name is?"

At this time, a young man bowed and asked.

Xu Wenwu looked up at the person who was speaking and found that although this person was really asking him a question, his eyes were always glancing at Wendie.

Xu Wenwu frowned but didn't say anything.

Wen Yuan also noticed the man's somewhat improper look and felt unhappy. He asked, "Who are you? What can I do for you?"

"I just heard the poem written by this young man, and I think it fits the situation at this moment. It seems that this young man has made a lot of preparations in advance in order to make the beauty smile!" The young man no longer pretended to be polite, but touched his chin and said.

"Who are you? What does our conversation have to do with you?" Wen Yuan said angrily.

"Me? My father is the prefect of Xuanyang City. My surname is Feng, and my name is Feng Zheng!" the young man said proudly.

Wen Yuan said, "Even if you are the son of the Xuanyang City prefect, you cannot act wildly in my Qingyun City."

Feng Zheng said contemptuously: "I just said what I was thinking."

"That's right! Master Feng is just telling the truth. This guy just has a good-looking appearance. Miss Wen must not let him fool him!" It was one of the people who were in the pavilion before.

Wen Yuan asked, "Are you from Qingyun City?"

The man said, "No, I came from Xuanyang City with Young Master Feng. I just met Young Master Wen, Miss Wen, and Magistrate Wen at Juxiang Pavilion a few days ago, so I know your identities."

Wen Yuan said, "I think you've misunderstood. This brother of mine is also here for the first time, and it was a last-minute idea. How could there be any advance preparation?"

Feng Zheng didn't care at all. He walked up to Wen Die and said, "I've long heard that Wen Die, the daughter of Master Wen of Qingyunqi, is as beautiful as a flower and gentle and charming. Now that I see her, it's true. I brought the best Biluochun tea, which was just released this year. I wonder if Miss Wen would be willing to give her a favor?"

Wen Die didn't even look at the other person, just sat there without saying a word, her rejection was very obvious.

Feng Zheng's face was a little embarrassed, and a serious gloom flashed across his face, but he quickly put on a smile and said with a look of pity: "Since Miss Wen is not convenient, Feng will not force it."

After saying that, he returned to his seat and paused for a moment in front of Xu Wenwu.

Wen Yuan said, "Brother Xu, I've heard of Feng Zheng. He's a famous playboy, often seen hanging out in various brothels and inns. He's the youngest son of the Xuanyang City prefect, a late-born son, and he dotes on him immensely."

Xu Wenwu didn't say anything. He always disdained to talk to such people.

Wen Yuan immediately changed the subject and said, "Brother Xu, you're leaving Qingyun City tomorrow, and I don't know when we'll meet again. It's rare to have a friend who can be so approachable."

Xu Wenwu said, "That's not difficult. Brother Wen, please come to Xujia Village to find me when you are free. You can stay as long as you want."

Wen Yuan said, "Okay, it's not far anyway. Brother Xu, please take me to experience the customs and people there."

Xu Wenwu smiled and said, "Our village doesn't have many rules. It's pretty much the same as other villages, except that we eat more."

Wen Yuan smiled and said, "That's great! As long as it's delicious, I'll take it all. I heard from Grandpa Xu that you have a younger brother. Are you two twins?"

Xu Wenwu said, "Yes, there are seven brothers and sisters in my family. I am the eldest brother, and the youngest is Qibao."

Wen Yuan asked, "Then your house must be very lively, right?"

Xu Wenwu said with a faint smile on his face: "Well, my home is great!"
