68、068

Since I was going to wander around the river tonight, I had dinner at Zhao's family very early today, and the sunset was still bright after stopping the chopsticks.

Gillian went to the east room to change her clothes.

After putting on it, Gillian stood in front of the mirror and liked it the more she looked. The official is worthy of being the best captain in the county for decades. She has never measured her size. She estimated her shoulder width and height by relying on her eyes alone. The robe she picked seemed to be tailor-made for her. She is neither long nor short nor fat nor thin. With a belt, she can even show Gillian's slender waist.

It’s just that the color is too gray, and it’s not as beautiful as Miss Chen Ying’s bamboo green robe.

Most men don’t know how to dress up. Anyway, the official has such a heart, and Gillian is already very satisfied.

He tied his long black hair to the top of his head with a cloth belt and made a bun for men. When Gillian looked in the mirror again, she felt unfamiliar.

Gillian walked out in a hesitant manner.

Zhao Yanping and Chen Ying were standing in the yard, and Cui Niang wanted to go there too, but she had to leave one person at home to watch.

Zhao Yanping faced the door, Chen Ying caught a glimpse of Ah Jiao, and smiled and pulled his brother's sleeve, making him turn around.

Zhao Yanping looked back and saw a fair and handsome young man with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and his appearance was not inferior to her women's clothing.

By the way, Zhao Yanping thought of the old lady’s misunderstanding of him and firmly believed that he liked something pretty brother.

Is Gillian the current appearance of the old lady? Isn’t she the pretty brother mentioned by the old lady?

Zhao Yanping withdrew his gaze and looked light: "Let's go."

Seeing that the official did not care about her appearance at all, Ah Jiao was not uncomfortable. The official walked in front, and she followed Chen Ying side by side. Chen Ying was good at speaking. With her, Ah Jiao felt very comfortable. Otherwise, she and the official were taciturn, and she didn't know what to say. It would be boring for the two of them to walk without saying a word.

After crossing a street, you will arrive on the edge of Qing River.

Today, the banks of Qinghe River are particularly lively. People with spare money at home have all come out to go to restaurants. There are so many tourists, and there are long and short queues outside many restaurants. Gillian is even more curious about her business and leads Chen Ying to the shed. At this time, Zhao Yanping silently retreats behind the two of them to facilitate care.

What made Gillian smile and her eyes curled was that the business of the shed was also very popular. There were many young women and young girls standing in front of the stall. Guo Xing and Qiuyue were busy entertaining guests, but they didn't notice their arrival.

"My sister-in-law has found it well. I think you will directly order a thousand boxes of rouge every month in the future. There will be no curfew for three consecutive nights in Mid-Autumn Festival in August. There will be Double Ninth Festival in September, and between the beginning of autumn and next summer, it will be the peak season for selling rouge. Six hundred boxes per month may not be enough." Chen Ying analyzed for Gillian.

Gillian thought so too.

Chen Ying also suggested that Gillian rent a larger shop.

Zhao Yanping suddenly said: "You don't have to rent a shop, you can use it first if you have enough sheds. Not every night's business is like today."

Gillian is also used to following him step by step.

Chen Ying shrank her shoulders and felt that her brother was too cautious.

"Do you want to take a boat?" There are too many tourists on the shore, and they are shoulder to shoulder. Zhao Yanping is worried that someone will not take advantage of Gillian's, but also worried about his sister. He thinks it is more appropriate to take a boat to stroll around.

Gillian and Chen Ying nodded at the same time.

Zhao Yanping took them to a stopping point in front.

During festivals, all kinds of business are rising. Usually, you can take a small boat for twenty cents to swim around the section of the county town. Today, the boatman actually took the price on the ground and shouted a ounce of silver in one breath, but he was helpless. There were too many people who wanted to take the boat, especially some young men and girls. They would rather pay five cents of silver than rent a boat with sheds! A more grand boat can be rented up to one or two taels!

"It's too expensive, let's have a walk." Gillian couldn't bear to take the boat. She could only earn so much if she sold five boxes of rouge for one cent!

Zhao Yanping glanced at her.

She dared to buy books of three or two, but he thought that Gillian had a good business and became more generous. It turned out that she was just willing to buy books for him, and then wanted to be frugal again when she was eating, drinking and having fun?

Zhao Yanping waved directly to an empty ship coming over.

As a result, when he was about to rent the boat, a young man and woman suddenly squeezed out behind him. The young man was wearing silk. Seeing that there was no better boat around, he threw a ingot of silver to the boatman in disgust and was about to take the boat. The boatman was ecstatic about the broken silver, at least one or two taels, and smiled happily, and left Zhao Yanping without hesitation.

Zhao Yanping frowned, but said nothing, and continued to wait for other ships.

At this time, a small black boat rowed over, the tent opened the window, and someone could be seen inside.

Zhao Yan turned his sight away and observed the other ships behind him.

But the small boat of Wupeng leaned over here, a head poked out from the tent, and smiled and called Zhao Yanping: "Her Ching is here to visit the lake too? Why didn't you stay at home with my delicate sister-in-law?"

Brother Shun winked and talked about Zhao Yanping on the other side of the shore.

He didn't notice A Jiao in men's clothing. The magistrate Xie Ying could see clearly through the window and kicked Shun Ge'er from behind.

Then Brother Shun recognized Ah Gillian, ran out of the tent awkwardly, and went to the stern of the boat to reflect on his mistakes.

Xie Ying walked to the bow of the boat and greeted Zhao Yanping, "If Brother Zhao doesn't mind, come up and walk with you."

Zhao Yanping refused and said, "How can I disturb you? There are many boats tonight, so let's wait."

Xie Ying smiled and said, "Some people are waiting. I originally wanted to rent a small boat worth a monday of silver. I couldn't wait for it, so I wasted the money. Brother Zhao and my sister-in-law got on the boat and spent more money, otherwise it would be a waste of money."

How could the dignified prince of the Marquis’s Mansion care about five cents of silver? It was just a sincere invitation.

Zhao Yanping refused again and thanked him. After the boatman had parked the boat, he was about to help A Jiao who was standing next to him. Her sister got on the way first. At this moment, another group of young people came from behind. He thought Xie Ying was going to get off the boat. One of the young men was anxious to grab the boat with Zhao Yanping and squeezed forward. Shen Ying, who was standing outside, was squeezed into the water by him!

Gillian didn't even react. Zhao Yanping was blocked by her and she couldn't catch Shen Ying even if she reached out!

However, after being frightened, Shen Ying instinctively stepped towards the side of the ship slanting in front of her, and one foot stepped on the side of the ship, and most of her body was still outside the ship. She was about to fall into the water, and a big hand grabbed her arm and pulled her in. Shen Ying was panicked and threw herself into the man's arms.

Xie Ying just saw Zhao Yanping and Ajiao, and did not pay much attention to the young young man next to him. He didn't think much about helping him. However, the moment Shen Ying hit his chest, the strange softness made Xie Ying suddenly react. This is not the young man, it is clearly another girl dressed in a man!

Xie Ying promptly helped the strange girl's figure and took two steps back.

Shen Ying ran to the county town because she was angry at home. She finally felt better with her brother and sister-in-law to go out for fun, but she almost got hit into the water. The two angers started to burn together. Shen Ying didn't care to thank her benefactor for the time being, and turned around and hit him on the shore, and started to attack: "Why are you anxious? Are you anxious to die? I didn't fall into the water today, so you're lucky, otherwise I'll see how I deal with you!"

As soon as she spoke, her voice was sweet and crisp. Now everyone discovered that she was a girl, or a pretty girl.

The fat and brave young man was not serious, and he was lustful. He stared at Chen Ying with a narrow squinting: "Take me off? How is the little girl going to deal with me? Why don't I board the boat with you and let you clean up?"

The friends who came with him all smiled and cheered.

Before the laughter fell, Zhao Yanping, who helped Ah Jiao onto the boat, suddenly turned back with a calm face, and didn't say hello, and kicked the fat young master in the hind leg. The fat young master couldn't react in time, and was not as flexible as Chen Ying. His round body "splashed" into the water, splashing such a big wave!

The river water is more than one person deep, and the fat and strong young man is a little bit watery and comes out to curse Zhao Yanping.

His friends rolled up their sleeves and rushed over to push Zhao Yanping in.

Zhao Yanping grabbed one person's collar with one hand, threw it into the water, turned around and kicked one back on the road. Seeing that he was so powerful, the remaining few did not dare to rush forward.

Chen Ying looked at the three struggling people in the water and her anger subsided and replied to the fat and strong young man: "Now I know how I deal with you? I dare to bump into you like a blind hornet, I will ask my brother to break your pig's legs!"

The fat and strong young man wanted to curse, and Brother Shun grabbed a lotus pod on the stern of the boat and smashed it at him, which hit him in the head: "Shut up, you dare to rob the magistrate's boat, are you tired of living?"

The fat and strong young man covered his head with a lotus pod and looked at the bow of the ship in shock.

Xie Ying looked at him coldly and winked at Zhao Yanping.

Zhao Yanping ignored these mixed men and jumped onto the boat, signaling Gillian and her sister to sit in the tent first.

The boatman continued to ride the boat forward.

The people watching the fun on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were talking about it, but those had nothing to do with Zhao Yanping and others.

Two small tables were placed in the boat tent, and the four men and women sat down. Zhao Yanping introduced to Xie Ying: "The concubine has already seen her. This is my second sister Chen Ying. My family is too fond of her and has a temper that is unwilling to suffer losses. Her words and deeds are ruthless, which makes her laugh."

Chen Ying glared at him and said, "What does it mean to be ruthless? He hit me first, and I was wrong in scolding him?"

Zhao Yanping scolded his sister: "You must not be rude in front of you."

Chen Ying glanced at the gentle and jade-like magistrate, snorted lightly, turned her head to look at the other river bank.

Gillian explained to Xie Ying softly: "Sir, we girls are not like this. We were so popular just now... "

Xie Ying waved his hand and smiled, "No problem, those people are rushing to Miss Chen first, so we should really scold you."

Finally someone spoke for her. Chen Ying glanced at her brother resentfully again, then stood up and bowed to Xie Ying: "Thank you for helping me just now, or I will be miserable."

Xie Ying lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "What's the point of raising hands? Please sit down, girl."

Chen Ying sat back.

Xie Ying stood up and said to Zhao Yanping: "The narrow view in the shed is limited, and you can see the galaxy outside. I'll go to the stern of the boat to see it. Brother Zhao, you can do it yourself."

Zhao Yanping also wants to go with him.

Chen Ying's beautiful eyes turned, she rushed to stand up and blinked at her brother: "Brother is a rare thing to accompany her sister-in-law to go out. You can enjoy the scenery inside, and I'll go outside to take a breath."

After saying that, Chen Ying turned around and signaled Xie Ying to leave quickly. She followed behind with a smile.

Zhao Yanping grabbed his sister's wrist: "How can the girl show up in public? You..."

Chen Ying pushed his hand away and stared at her eyes, "Tonight's Qixi Festival, are there few girls out there going out to play? Besides, I'm dressed like this, who can tell on the shore that I am a girl? If you ask me to accompany my sister-in-law, I'm already an adult, so you don't need to worry about it." I was afraid that my brother would get involved and entangle, Chen Ying speeded up and squeezed out from Xie Ying.

Zhao Yanping frowned.
