Chapter 1144: What evil intentions could Young Master Gu have?
"hateful!"
In the guest room, Tang Zijin lay on the bed, her face flushed with shame, and she pounded the quilt in anger and annoyance.
The young master was really going too far, actually flirting with her in broad daylight!!!
She was so angry!
When Tang Zijin thought of the scene in the rockery, she buried her head in the quilt out of shame, but came out again after a while.
She just slapped the young master, and I don’t know if it was hard enough?
Tang Zijin was a little nervous at first, then shook her head. She was right. If the young master dared to flirt with her again next time, she would beat him!
The scene in the rockery began to replay in his mind, and Tang Zijin rolled around on the bed in frustration.
"Don't think about it, don't think about it anymore."
Tang Zijin was worried and didn't even go to dinner. He tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep.
The next day, Tang Zijin appeared in front of everyone with dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing this, Mrs. Tang asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Tang Zijin forced a smile: "Mom, I'm fine."
There were people all around, so Mrs. Tang didn't say much. She just glanced at Tang Zixin, who was squeezed in among a few other ladies, with dissatisfaction.
Her daughter never liked to complain to her, but she also heard from other places that Zi Xin had openly attacked her daughter yesterday and was more active than outsiders!
When she first heard the news, she was so angry that her stomach ached...
She really didn't know whether Zi Xin had any brains at all. What good would it do her to slander her own sister?
After returning home this time, she has to have a good talk with the master and the old lady about the eldest daughter of the Tang family.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. After breakfast, everyone boarded the cruise ship to Ningmen Pass with the Crown Princess and Princess Weiyuan.
The women were very happy to go watch the dragon boat race. The ladies sat in the cabin and chatted, while the girls mostly stood on the deck to enjoy the scenery along the way.
On the boat, Tang Zijin didn't feel sleepy because of the river breeze and Miss Xu talking beside him. But when he arrived at Ningmen Pass and went up to the attic to watch the dragon boat race, Tang Zijin covered his face with a fan from time to time and yawned with his hands covering his mouth.
Seeing that she was very sleepy, Miss Xu offered to sit with her in the corner.
Tang Zijin thanked her gratefully. No matter how hard she forced herself to fall asleep last night, she just couldn't fall asleep. She kept her eyes open and watched the sky brighten.
Now everyone is watching the dragon boat race with great enthusiasm. It is really impolite and spoils the fun for her to yawn here. It is better for her to stay away from it.
After saying something to Mrs. Tang, Tang Zijin and Miss Xu walked to the edge of the attic and sat down.
Away from other people's sight, Tang Zijin relaxed a lot. Although the competition in the river was exciting, she couldn't help dozing off, and her head kept nodding.
On the male side, Gu Moyan sat next to the prince and Xiao Yeyang. He had no intention of watching the game. He glanced at the female relatives from time to time and saw Tang Zijin dozing off in the corner. He accidentally hit his head and shook his head.
Seeing that the game below would not end in a short time, Gu Moyan thought for a moment, called Ping An, and whispered a few instructions.
Not long after, the maid who served the female members of the family smiled and put pillows on the ladies and girls, saying that she wanted everyone to sit more comfortably.
The seats in the stands were very hard, and the provision of cushions was welcomed by everyone.
The Crown Princess and Daohua were a little surprised. They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
The pillows were not prepared on their orders!
Daohua glanced at the male relatives and happened to catch Gu Moyan's gaze looking over here. Following his gaze, Daohua looked at the corner of the female relatives and saw Tang Zijin dozing off.
The maids, under the pretext of delivering pillows, calmly moved the screens everywhere, just enough to cover Tang Zijin and Miss Xu who were sitting in the corner.
The Crown Princess also noticed this scene and immediately laughed softly, "I see that you will soon marry your second daughter-in-law."
Daohua smiled, then glanced at Gu Moyan next door and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard." Although she said she disliked him, her actions were very real.
With the screen to block his sleep and a pillow to lean on, Tang Zijin felt much more comfortable and slept until the end of the dragon boat race.
After the game, everyone was free to move around, and Miss Xu woke up Tang Zijin.
"Thank you, Sister Xu!"
Tang Zijin thanked him a little embarrassedly because she had just woken up and her face was still flushed.
Miss Xu couldn't help but reach out her hand and pinched Tang Zijin's red cheek, then smiled and said, "Finally, I got it. Consider it your thank you gift."
Tang Zijin was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
On the other side, Gu Moyan, who was following the prince and Xiao Yeyang to go downstairs, saw this scene and immediately became unhappy. Could the chubby boy's face be pinched by anyone?
What's wrong with that girl from the Xu family? She should be humble. She is not shameless!
Hate!
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and follow me!"
Xiao Yeyang in front urged Gu Moyan.
Gu Moyan then withdrew his gaze and quickly followed.
All the female members of the family went downstairs together to play. Tang Zijin and Miss Xu also said goodbye to Madam Tang and Madam Xu, and went downstairs for a walk together.
In order to make it easier for everyone to cruise on the river, the officials in charge of the dragon boat race arranged a number of pleasure boats for everyone to ride.
Tang Zijin and Miss Xu found a pavilion by the river to sit down. Not long after they sat down, a pleasure boat came over.
"Sister Xu!"
On the pleasure boat, a girl waved to Miss Xu with a smile.
Miss Xu smiled and waved in response, while introducing her to Tang Zijin: "That's the girl from the Yao family. The Yao family is considered a prominent family in Zhongzhou, but not many of their descendants in the past two generations have served as officials in the court."
"This time, Miss Yao was invited to Peach Blossom Mountain and was very active, even more so than your elder sister."
Having said this, Miss Xu suddenly stopped and looked at Tang Zijin embarrassedly.
Tang Zijin smiled and said, "Sister Xu, it's okay. My eldest sister is indeed quite lively."
Miss Xu chuckled awkwardly, "You and your elder sister have completely different personalities. I thought I was quite talkative, but when I met your elder sister, I still felt a little overwhelmed."
Tang Zijin smiled faintly and did not respond.
No matter how bad Tang Zixin was, as the daughter of the Tang family, she would never follow outsiders in criticizing her.
At this time, the pleasure boat approached the pavilion.
Miss Yao stood on the deck of the pleasure boat, looking at Tang Zijin and Miss Xu in the pavilion: "Sister Xu, why are you sitting here? Why don't you join us for a cruise?"
He was talking to Miss Xu, but his eyes kept looking at Tang Zijin.
Miss Xu looked at Tang Zijin, asking for her opinion with her eyes.
Tang Zijin smiled and said, "Sister Xu, don't worry about me. I'm too lazy to move. I'll just sit here for a while and then go back."
She felt the gaze of Miss Yao. Tang Zixin was active and was going after the young master. Miss Yao, who was as active as her, must have the same purpose.
She was called to dinner by the old ancestor every day. Miss Yao might have regarded her as an imaginary enemy. If she got involved with her, there would definitely be trouble.
She'd better stay away.
Miss Xu naturally did not want to leave Tang Zijin alone, and rejected Miss Yao with a smile.
Although Miss Yao felt a little regretful, she did not insist. She just smiled warmly and said, "We won't bother you anymore. If you two want to take a river cruise later, you can go over there and take a ride. There are plenty of pleasure boats today." As she spoke, she pointed to a place not far away.
Miss Xu thanked him with a smile, and then she and Tang Zijin watched the pleasure boat sail away.
Afterwards, Tang Zijin noticed that Miss Xu's eyes occasionally fell on the pleasure boat in the river, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Xu, do you want to go swimming?"
Miss Xu didn't deny it: "It's rare for me to come out, I just want to feel the river breeze."
Tang Zijin looked at where the pleasure boat was docked and said, "I also want to get some fresh air to clear my head. Why don't we go for a river cruise?"
Miss Xu's face lit up with joy, and then she said, "Didn't you just say you didn't want to?"
Tang Zijin smiled and said, "There are so many ladies in Miss Yao's pleasure boat. I just don't want to cause trouble."
Hearing her say this, Miss Xu no longer hesitated and walked towards where the pleasure boat was docked with Tang Zijin.
Seeing the two people coming, a middle-aged boatman with a simple and honest face immediately stepped forward and saluted with a smile on his face: "You two girls want to go boating on the river. I am a good rower. How about taking the smaller boat?"
The pleasure boats here today were arranged by the officials in charge of the dragon boat race. Tang Zijin and the others were not worried about safety issues. They nodded and got on the pleasure boats.
Not long after the pleasure boat sailed away from the shore, Tang Zijin was talking to Miss Xu about the scenery on both sides of the river when he suddenly felt a chill under his feet. He looked down and found that the pleasure boat was leaking.
"Boatman, quickly bring the pleasure boat to the shore!"
Tang Zijin was startled and quickly ordered the boatman to dock.
However, the boatman seemed to be frightened by Tang Zijin's sudden voice and accidentally fell into the river.
When Tang Zijin saw this, his face changed. Without bothering to comfort Miss Xu, he hurried to the deck, grabbed the boat prize, and handed it to the boatman who was struggling in the water, trying to rescue the person.
However, the boatman did not hold on to the oars at all. Instead, the boat gradually sank while flapping its wings until his figure could no longer be seen.
Tang Zijin stared at the river for a moment, then decisively picked up the oars and began rowing towards the shore. Turning to Zhuxin in the cabin, she called out, "Zhuxin, come out and help row. Sister Xu, you and your maid just sit inside and don't move."
