Chapter 234: You keep quarreling and you’ve ruined all my blessings!
Lu Jinye obediently snatched Zhou Yu's horse and left. Zhou Yu didn't want to lend the horse to this pretty boy, but he had to appear magnanimous in front of Qiao Wanyan, so he had to lend him the horse.
Qiao Wanyan glanced at Ziyuan and then at the swing, and saw Ziyuan walked towards Zhou Yu and took out a silver ingot, "My lady wants to borrow your swing, this is a reward for you."
Zhou Yu looked at the gold ingot in surprise. Wasn’t it a bit too much?
Last time, the restaurant received an ingot of silver and an ingot of gold from her. The usual reward is just a few taels of silver, but this time she gave an ingot of silver, which was too wasteful.
"No need for that. If Second Miss wants to use it, just use it. It's not a big deal." Zhou Yu said generously.
Zi Yuan threw a silver ingot into his arms, her tone revealing a bit of arrogance, "Just take the reward you received. If there is buying and selling, it's a transaction. If there is no buying and selling, it's a favor. My young lady is of noble status, how could she owe you a favor?"
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, "Well... okay..."
He just wanted Miss Qiao to owe him a favor. It would be more convenient for them to meet and interact with each other after he owed him a favor.
There is another cruise ship on the Changqing River.
On the deck, Tsuru Chiyu stood at the front with his hands behind his back.
The sunlight was very glaring, and he squinted his eyes slightly and looked forward. His elegant and refined appearance carried the innate nobility and the bearing and composure that a superior should have.
But deep down in his heart, he was not very calm at this moment.
The several palace officials behind him sighed in their hearts that His Highness really had the leisure time now. They had been busy these days and now they could take this opportunity to relax.
Discussing state affairs on a cruise ship not only keeps away from those who spy on you and you don't have to worry about the news leaking out, but you can also enjoy such a beautiful view. Your Highness is indeed a man of foresight.
Jing Yuan followed He Zhiyu's gaze and looked towards the cruise ship docked at the shore in front of him. He had an impression of that cruise ship.
The people at the dock said that the boat belonged to the second young lady of the Qiao family, and no one else could ride it except the second young lady. Now, most likely the second young lady and her friends had stopped the boat at the shore for a trip.
Jing Yuan suddenly had an idea, "Your Highness, why don't we not stop at the shore? The cruise ship is bumpy, so it will be quieter for Your Highness to talk with the court officials after we get off the ship."
Someone behind him was puzzled, "This boat is very stable, not bumpy at all?"
"Yes, there is a boat docked on the shore, and I saw people on the shore from a distance. We are discussing important military matters, and it would be bad if someone interrupted us and heard us."
"One of them seems to be the young marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. Most likely, they are a few noble young men and young ladies who are outing for fun. If so, there will definitely be a lot of noise. How can Your Highness, with your noble status, stop the boat?"
The cruise ship was far away, and He Zhiyu could not clearly see the faces of the group of people in the sea of flowers on the shore, but he could tell that one of them was Qiao Wanyan.
She said that day that she was going boating with Shen Che and Jiang Qiyun, but now there were both men and women, not just the three of them.
He Zhiyu's expression changed slightly, "It's noisy down there, no need to stop the boat."
Jing Yuan finally managed to come up with a clever idea but missed it. It seemed that he had guessed wrong. His Highness came out for a boat ride today not to meet the Second Miss by chance, but to have a quiet and undisturbed meeting with several palace officials.
"Yes, Your Highness hates noise the most. I was the one who said too much."
In the distance, Qiao Wanyan was sitting on the swing. Zhou Yu was about to push her, but a breeze passed by.
Before he could react, a scholarly-looking young man passed by him and asked, "Shall I push the second young lady?"
Chen Che did not argue with Xu Shujian. At some point, Su Fei had already taken a chair from the boat and placed it diagonally opposite the swing, keeping a safe distance and putting it down.
Chen Che sat on the chair, supporting his head with one hand on the armrest, and fanning himself gently with a folding fan with the other hand.
Above his head, Su Fei was holding an umbrella to block out the glaring sunlight.
At the moment, Chen Che seemed to be quietly detached from the bustling world and appreciating a beautiful painting, feeling very interested.
However, the paintings nowadays are real, while the paintings before were dead paintings without any vitality.
The corners of Shen Che's mouth curled up slightly, and he seemed to be immersed in his own world.
But underneath the satisfied smile was a bit of madness and possessiveness. Such a beautiful painting should be kept by him and treasured.
The color in his eyes gradually became morbid, and he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes brightened and the smile on the corners of his mouth became more intense.
Qiao Chuxue approached from the other side, "Mr. Xu, Sister Wanyan is a woman. Would it be bad for you to push her? After all, there are differences between men and women."
Xu Shujian remained calm and asked in a calm tone, "I was just pushing the swing for the Second Miss. Isn't Miss Qiao a little too worried?"
Qiao Chuxue said earnestly, "Although the separation of men and women in Dayu is not that strict, we should still pay attention to the differences between men and women. Sister Wanyan is an unmarried girl. If her future husband knew about this, wouldn't he be sad?"
Qiao Wanyan frowned slightly, "It's just a swing, what's the big deal?"
"I'm doing this for your own good." Qiao Chuxue smiled awkwardly.
Qiao Wanyan didn't buy it. "Don't use the excuse of doing good for me to educate me."
Qiao Chuxue had an awkward smile on her face and suddenly felt a little nauseous. She turned around and quickly walked to the side, holding the maid's hand, and leaned over slightly to retch.
Zhou Yu looked back at her, but only for a glance before he looked away and focused all his attention on Qiao Wanyan.
Although the second young lady is a bit arrogant and domineering, it must be said that the most beautiful woman in the capital is indeed beautiful.
For this face, being a little arrogant is also a kind of fun.
Zhou Yu smiled and asked, "Master Xu, have you ever sat on a swing?"
Xu Shujian said indifferently, "I've never sat there before."
Zhou Yu approached and said, "Mr. Xu is a scholar. I usually exercise and I am definitely stronger than Mr. Xu. Let me do this tiring job."
Qiao Wanyan frowned, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm heavy?"
What on earth was going on between Qiao Chuxue and this idiot? They kept ruining her fun one after another.
Zhou Yu said quickly, "I, that's not what I meant, please don't misunderstand me, Second Miss."
Jiang Qiyun asked, "What are you afraid of? You look so cowardly. Qiao Wanyan, you are not happy when people tell you the truth. Why don't you let people tell the truth?"
Xu Shujian said in a gentle voice: "Second Miss, don't listen to the young marquis's teasing. Second Miss is very light, not heavy at all."
Jiang Qiyun couldn't hold it back any longer. The happiness he had just gotten from Lu Jinye was now extinguished by Xu Shujian.
"You're not done yet, are you? Every time I insult her, you praise her. Are you deliberately going against me?"
Xu Shujian responded calmly, "I'm just telling the truth. Second Miss, am I wrong?"
Qiao Wanyan rolled her eyes and said, "Stop arguing, you've ruined my good fortune!"
"Shut up everyone!!!"
