Pei family an hour ago.
"Sir, are you really not going to go and take a look?"
Seeing that his master had been staring at the fourth portrait of Miss Tu for an hour, Yanshan finally couldn't help but speak.
The first time he saw his master unconsciously draw a portrait of Miss Tu, he knelt down with shaking legs.
The second time, he was shocked, but he also had some idea of what was going on.
Just a few days ago, when the master heard that the Prince Zhaohe's Mansion was going to discuss a marriage with the Tu family, he painted the third picture.
Today, when I learned that Miss Tu and Prince Yu were going boating together, I painted the fourth picture.
It's almost an hour now. If we go too late, and Prince Yu and Miss Tu are engaged, then everything will be too late.
Seeing that his master was silent, he mustered up the courage to speak again, "I heard that as long as Miss Tu nods, the Zhaohe County Prince's Mansion will come to propose marriage again, and then..."
“Bang!”
Before he could finish his words, the pen in the man's hand broke.
Yanshan lowered his head immediately when he saw his eyes.
"I was just being too talkative."
No matter how many years he has been with adults, he will be frightened by a look from them.
Pei Jian stood up and said, "Let's go and prepare the boat."
Huh? Where to? Prepare the boat?
Yanshan looked up in surprise and found that his master had already walked out of the study.
The moonlight was just right at that time, and the river banks were decorated with all kinds of lanterns.
Tu Qingyu wore a light purple long dress and a moon-white cloak.
All the hair on her head was tied up, and the long hair was pressed down and hung behind her, showing her agility and elegance.
She stood at the bow of the boat, the faint moonlight enveloped her body. A breeze blew, blowing her skirt, making her look like an immortal under the moon, cold and detached, isolated from the world.
It was at this time that Pei Jian and Pei Kangsheng saw her.
The two were not on the same boat. Pei Kangsheng had already made an appointment with his classmates and called the prostitutes on the boat. They were originally going to listen to music together inside, but when they came out to take a breath, they happened to run into each other.
Pei Jian was not on the boat with the Pei family seal. He was dressed in black and hidden in the darkness, not attracting any attention.
Naturally, no one noticed the astonishment and outrage in Lord Pei's usually calm eyes.
But the beauty in their eyes was soon interrupted.
Because Yu Jingyuan also came out of the cabin, he was holding a lantern and stood beside Tu Qingyu.
"This year's Lantern Festival seems to be more lively than previous years." Yu Jingyuan stood beside her and took the initiative to talk.
"Really?" Tu Qingyu glanced and happened to see Pei Jian who was getting closer and closer to them.
But she did not stop, thinking that the night was too dark and she did not recognize him.
"I think it's the same every year, there's nothing new."
"Qingyu..." Yu Jingyuan handed the lantern in his hand to her, "I made this myself, I hope you like it."
This is a crab lantern. The crab's belly is glowing, and the claws and eyes in the front can move. It looks vivid and lifelike. You can see that a lot of thought went into its design.
"Thank you, but I..." She wanted to refuse outright, but Yu Jingyuan didn't give her the chance.
"Qingyu, listen to me first." He looked at the person in front of him seriously, his cheeks and ears instantly flushed red, "I, I like you, Qingyu."
He was facing Tu Qingyu sideways and Pei Jian directly.
Pei Jian's boat was getting closer and closer. He could not hear any sound, but he could clearly see that the young man in the long gown was saying "Xingyue" to the little girl.
His heart skipped a beat and his grip on the boat pole slowly tightened.
Unfortunately, from this angle he couldn't see any expression on Tu Qingyu's face, nor could he see her response.
The young man continued, "I know you always thought of me as your best friend's brother, but I, I didn't always think of you as my sister's best friend.
I always wonder when I can go with my sister to see you again, and I always wonder when we can talk to each other without any scruples like my sister does.
When I can't see you, I always think of you, but I also understand that you are engaged to the Pei family, and I'm afraid I have no chance.
Even if I have the chance, I need to become better to be worthy of you.
So I restrained myself and studied hard, hoping to be on the list of the imperial examination next autumn.
Qingyu, can you give me a chance, a chance to not treat me as a friend or brother?"
After saying this, he became very nervous.
Pei Jian on the other side was also very nervous. Although he couldn't see Tu Qingyu's lip movements, he could tell what the little girl's answer was by observing Yu Jingyuan's expression.
Under the lamp and the moon, the talented man and the beautiful woman, if others were to see them, they would be considered a perfect match and pleasing to the eye.
But Pei Jian just felt it was an eyesore, and he even felt a little jealous.
Yes, he must be jealous of the young man standing opposite Tu Qingyu.
She was jealous that he could stand in front of her without any scruples and say words that pleased her.
Tu Qingyu listened carefully, and then, facing the boy's expectant gaze, he said, "I'm sorry, Jingyuan. I came out with you today to make things clear with you."
"I have never been shy since I was a child, and I won't hide it from you now. I have someone I like, and I will probably marry him in the future.
I'm sorry for letting you down.
You are such a good person, you will definitely find a good woman to spend your life with."
boom--!
At this moment, Yu Jingyuan felt as if the sky had fallen. "The one I love? Who is it?"
His sister is with Qingyu every day, how could he not know that she has someone she loves?
"Qingyu, you don't have to reject me..."
“Plop!”
"Ah! Oh my God, someone fell into the water!"
"Hurry up, help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
When the accident happened, Yu Jingyuan hadn't even finished speaking.
Someone fell into the water from a boat next door. It seemed that they were from a wealthy family, but on such an important day, not a single person from that boat went down to rescue them.
A maidservant on the boat kept shouting, "Hurry up and save our young lady! We are from the Tongzhengshi family. Help!"
The ships closest to the people in trouble were Tu Qingyu's search ship and Pei Jian's ship which was gradually approaching.
Yanshan: "Sir, do you want to go down and rescue them?"
Pei Jian looked at Yu Jingyuan, who had already raised his foot, and his eyes darkened. "No need."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jingyuan jumped down.
"Catch the guy over there." Pei Jian looked at the man next to him who was about to jump down to save someone, his eyes fierce.
When the people from the Yu family saw that their own prince had jumped, the servants followed suit.
The person was rescued quickly, and the girl calmed down after coughing up a few mouthfuls of water.
Tu Qingyu quickly took off his cloak and put it on her.
The girl was still trembling, and the water droplets on her hair were shaking with her movements.
She looked at Tu Qingyu gratefully and said, "Thank you, cough, cough..."
"Don't talk for now, let someone take you back first."
