Just as the situation was gradually becoming frozen, a lady second only to her changed the subject, and only then did the others have time to catch their breath.
The woman looked at the lady walking towards her, and her heart was relieved. She still had to give face to the wife of the Grand Marshal.
The atmosphere here was getting better, but Xiaoguo in the corner was getting increasingly agitated. What on earth was this Jiang Danhe trying to do? Not only did he dress up like this, but he also told her not to move at all. She had already said she didn't want to fish, but he insisted on handing her a fishing rod and asking her to fish seriously until he came over.
Her hands were numb but she didn't catch a single fish. If she stopped the boat, she might be able to catch a few, but how could she catch anything if the boat was moving? The fish was about to bite the hook when it saw it, but the hook suddenly moved away. Wouldn't the fish have to chase the hook to bite it?
I felt the bite again. Xiaoguo pulled hard, but there was nothing. From the excitement at the beginning to the indifference now, I got used to it...
After I stuck the fishing rod on the boat and made sure it wouldn't fall off, I gave up fishing and just enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
Today's ships are not like later ships, which are large yachts with all the necessary facilities for eating, drinking, and entertainment. However, they have everything. Although they are just large flats, they are large enough and there are seats and tea tables for the female family members to entertain themselves.
The speed is steady, and you can reach the island as quickly as possible while enjoying the beautiful scenery in the sea.
She saw the sunrise in the morning when she boarded the boat, but the most charming thing should be the sunset over the sea in the evening. It is estimated that they will have to disembark before noon, so they have to go to the island to watch the sunset.
Xiao Guo looked back boredly. The ladies from various families were gathering in twos or three to have a tea party, but she was the only one fishing here all alone. It was really pitiful just thinking about it.
But if she was asked to get in, she couldn't do it, she was not far away. Although they lowered the volume, she could still hear it. What about rouge, what about cloth, what about concubines, and even what private matters, this group of people really dared to say anything.
Xiaoguo lost interest after listening to a bit of it. As expected, the content of the TV show was based on real life. She thought the harem fighting on TV was a bit exaggerated, but now it doesn't sound exaggerated. The wives gathered together to insult the concubines, and the concubines gathered together to discuss how to overthrow the wives. The frivolous plans they talked about were enough to shock her for hundreds of years.
He retracted his gaze and looked back at the sea with a sympathetic heart. Fortunately, Jiang Shanhe did not have any concubines or anything like that. If he did, he would not survive more than two episodes.
Back to the topic, this Jiang Shanhe! Men and women were seated separately, and there was a sail across the middle so they couldn't see each other at all. He even said he came to find her, but I guess I wouldn't see him before I got off the boat, leaving me alone to watch my fishing rod and listen to gossip in the backyard.
I don't know which minister's concubine is so careless with her words that she says everything she should and shouldn't say. She also talks about the secrets of the bedroom and asks other concubines for advice. From time to time, there are bursts of playful sounds coming from her, and the wife not far away rolls her eyes when she hears them.
Xiaoguo also became interested, not in the content of their discussion, but in the expressions on everyone's faces and the clothes they were wearing.
The one who is dressed elegantly and shows that she is the real one in every move, and the one who rolls her eyes in disdain is the legal wife.
The one who is dressed coquettishly and whose every move reveals the look of a pampered villain is a concubine.
There are also some girls dressed like girls who can tell who is born of a legitimate wife and who is born of a concubine.
People are really strange. You can tell whether someone is favored or not at a glance; it can be revealed in their expression. Those fortune tellers probably make predictions based on this and then extend their predictions to other areas.
Just when Xiaoguo was watching intently, a timid figure in the corner caught her attention.
"Um?"
Xiao Guo lifted up the hat that was bothering her and looked around carefully. All the people who came here were pampered family members. Her clothes were very beautiful, but the style was a bit old-fashioned and the color was a bit dull. It was estimated that she had worn them for many years. Moreover, her skin was a bit dark, and she didn't look like a pampered lady.
So who is she?
Just when Xiaoguo was lost in thought, the other person suddenly looked at her. Xiaoguo was startled and tried to look away in embarrassment, but the other person panicked and shifted his gaze away, which confused her. What was going on? Shouldn't she be the one who was embarrassed? Why did the other person look so guilty?
“We’re here, we’re here~”
At this moment, I don't know who first discovered the land not far away and said something loudly. Of course, it was probably the concubine who said it, otherwise the other wives would not have looked so disgusted.
Xiaoguo also saw the land that was about to be reached, so she quickly sat down and held onto the board, for she was afraid that the inertia of the boat would throw her out.
The other female members of the family loved to have fun and stood up early and ran to the side to look at the destination they were about to arrive at. They pointed here and there excitedly, looking very happy and without any sense of crisis at all.
Xiao Guo looked at them and thought of giving them a reminder, so she stopped a group of girls nearby and told them to sit tight as the boat might be bumpy when it stopped. Unexpectedly, after she said that, the girls looked at her with disdain, then shook her off and followed their sisters to watch the fun without looking back.
Xiao Guo took his kindness for granted, so he withdrew his gaze and held the boat board by himself. He had already lifted the boat, so it was none of his business whether the boat listened or not.
The female members were so lively, but the other side was not so lively. When they saw that the boat was going to stop, they held onto the board without saying anything. Jiang Shanhe looked at the other side worriedly, not knowing whether Xiaoguo knew how to hold on. He had just forgotten to remind her to be careful not to fall.
As soon as the boat stopped, it shook a little due to inertia. Although the amplitude was not large, the inertia was not small. Jiang Shanhe was safe and sound, but the female family members were pitiful. They screamed continuously, and the other ministers frowned when they heard it, as if they were embarrassed to bring their families with them.
Only Jiang Shanhe looked over there worriedly. After the boat stopped, he couldn't wait to walk over there. However, considering there were unmarried girls there, Jiang Shanhe stopped again and could only stand anxiously at the disembarkation entrance.
Xiao Guo let go of his hands only after the women stopped screaming. He had never expected that he could still hear their screams even after covering his ears.
The group of little girls just now had a hard time calming down their frightened hearts. These delicate young ladies had never encountered such a thing before and their faces turned pale with fear. They looked very pitiful. Seeing Xiaoguo, who looked as usual, they all felt a little guilty. If they had listened to her at that time, wouldn't everything have been better?
Xiaoguo had no time to care about their thoughts. She was only thinking about whether Jiang Shanhe was still strong, and she didn't know whether the two of them had stabilized.
After the boat stopped, she stood up anxiously, wanting to take a sneak peek over there. Just as she reached the sail and wanted to stick her head out to take a quick look, she met a face, and her eyes accidentally made eye contact because of the focus.
Jiang Shanhe thought it was super cute, so he laughed. Xiaoguo was a little embarrassed, and shyly stood up, deliberately asking, "Which female family member are you peeking at?!"
Jiang Shanhe also stood up. He just saw a small figure sneaking over. Although the sail was thick, it was also translucent. His side was the shady side and her side was the sunny side. He could see her little movements clearly.
Hearing her ask this, he knew that she was angry because of embarrassment, so Jiang Shanhe cleared his throat and said, "Of course ~ look at you, a little girl."
"Pfft!"
Xiaoguo couldn't help feeling a little shy and looked around carefully. Fortunately, people's attention was not here, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if someone heard it.
Jiang Shanhe didn't think it was a big deal. Talking to his wife was not something to be ashamed of.
Xiaoguo just laughed at his shamelessness and was really impressed by him.
