Wu Ning raised his eyes and saw the fourth elder brother standing on the bank, the wind blowing his robe flapping.Qingming Hetian helped her get off the sedan chair, Wu Ning walked in front of the fourth elder brother, squatted down and said, "Greetings to the lord, good luck to the lord." The fourth elder brother helped her up, held her hand and walked forward tens of meters , Wu Ning only felt that the eyes suddenly became clear.

I saw red lights dotted in the distance on the lake, and a painted boat slowly approached. The lights on the boat were brilliant, leaving a halo of flickering light on the lake surface. Gradually, it got up faster, and water marks were drawn on the surface of the river, smashing the lights and shadows in the water into a wave of broken shadows, turbulently and endlessly.

Wu Ning was so surprised that he could hardly speak, and said: "Master..." Seeing that the boat stopped, the fourth elder brother said: "Go, let's go up!" Wu Ning couldn't help being dragged up by him, A little eunuch had already set up the water stand, and the bed cabin had also been filled with food and wine. Wu Ning sat in, only to see a few maids at the stern of the boat, with flutes, flutes and qin in their hands, just waiting for the fourth elder brother to speak.

The fourth elder brother lifted the corner of his robe, and also got in, and said with a smile, "A while ago, I said that I would take you on a cruise, how is it? I finally keep my word!" After speaking, he raised his hand to Su Peisheng, Su Peisheng hurriedly went to the bow of the boat to give instructions, and after a while, the boat moved slowly, and the stern of the boat was also graceful with strings and bamboos, floating over the water and moonlight shrouded in light smoke, and the heaven and earth were full of tenderness.

The fourth elder brother asked everyone in the cabin to go out, raised his hand and poured a glass of sherbet, handed it to Wu Ning, and said, "We're not going anywhere these days, just stay in this garden." Wu Ning thought he was just here to stay A few days ago, when I heard this, I was surprised and said, "What about the palace?"

The fourth elder brother didn't answer, just lowered his head to eat the food, and asked the little eunuch who was sailing outside to stop paddling, and only parked the boat in the center of the lake.

Wu Ning looked out, the night outside the lake was dark, occasionally there was the sound of water splashing, it was fish jumping out of the water.

The Old Summer Palace at night is as quiet as a paradise.

The strong aroma of fish soup floated over, Wu Ning came back to his senses, and saw that there was already a pot of thick and fragrant fish soup on the table, the fish soup was still steaming, and white fish was rolling inside. slices, fungus, bamboo shoots, egg flower, the fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Aren't you useless for dinner? Let's eat together." As he said, he stuffed the chopsticks into her palm.

Wu Ning swallowed the question just now, because all the maids serving in the cabin were kicked out by the fourth elder brother, so she stretched out her hand to scoop up a bowl of soup by herself, the pot was set high again, she had some difficulty reaching it, the fourth elder brother saw He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, helped her serve them, put them in front of her, said: "Be careful of the fishbone." Then he said: "Do you want vinegar?" He reached out and took the vinegar plate and poured it out for her. Only then did he begin to explain why he didn't move back to Prince Yong's mansion recently, and it was mixed with the fact that he became the owner of the Xiangbai Banner.

Listening to his explanation, Wu Ning nodded his head half-understood, and suddenly heard the faint noise coming from outside, which became more and more clear as the boat sailed on the water.She picked up the curtain of soft smoke and looked out, and saw a rather large water platform not far away, with lights and figures on it, she could already hear someone singing an opera, and the faint voice of "Moonset... the smoke is thick..." The extremely clear and beautiful libretto, no matter how close it is, I saw a few main seats set up in front of the troupe, and Fujin was sitting there.

Wu Ning was startled, thinking that Fujin is not in Prince Yong's Mansion?How did you get brought here?Still came to see the show?Just thinking about it, the fourth elder brother stretched out his hand to hold her fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Think about it again, what kind of day will it be in a few days?" After hearing this, Wu Ning thought about it, and covered it with an "ah". He shut his mouth and said in succession: "I actually forgot my birthday!", then paused and said: "What? Did my birthday come earlier?".

The fourth elder brother let go of her hand, and said: "It's not too early, I don't plan to go back to the palace recently, and I may not be able to find the time in a few days, why don't I advance my birthday tonight.", Wu Ning said in a low voice: "That's okay too?", the fourth elder brother didn't hear clearly, and said: "What?" Wu Ning shook his head with a smile, and said: "I was careless, these days in Yuanmingyuan are too happy, I forgot about my grandfather's birthday, and I didn't even prepare a birthday present, luckily there are still a few days left."

The fourth elder brother said: "It's okay, you are not fully recovered, don't bother to worry about it." Just as he was talking, suddenly the boat stopped slightly, and the two of them couldn't help but leaned forward, and then they heard Fujin's voice outside Qing Qing said: "Greetings to the lord, the lord is auspicious!" Su Peisheng raised the curtain, and the fourth prince bent down and walked out of the cabin. Seeing everyone kneeling on the ground, he yelled, turned around and extended his hand to Wu Ning.

Wu Ning supported his hand and walked up to the platform, Li Shi was already on the side, saw Wu Ning and nodded to her with a smile, Wu Ning was about to salute, but was quickly supported by Li Shi, the two sat down, Wu Ning Ning's eyes wandered slightly, but he saw that Geng's position was close to that of Fujin's right back, his black hair was combed slickly, revealing a beautiful face.

Wu Ning was slightly taken aback, Li Shi saw her expression, touched her elbow lightly, seeing that no one was paying attention, lowered her voice and said: "I heard that she begged Fujin to bring her here.", speaking For a while, his expression flickered.Sensing the gazes of the two, Geng also looked this way, waited until his eyes fell on the fourth elder brother, and then turned his head shyly and timidly.The corner of Li's mouth was slightly raised, revealing a sneer of disdain.

The lake wind on the water platform was so strong that the mosquitoes couldn't stand at all. Twelve red lacquered landscape screens with beautiful women under the moon were placed to separate the troupe's preparations from the theater viewing stage. Dark red hanging on both sides of the screen The palace lanterns, gossamer tassels swaying constantly in the night wind, the maids lined up in a line, walked over from the rows of chairs like flowing water, and offered fragrant tea to each master, Wu Ning took his own cup of tea in his hand, Looking at the stage, she took a sip but felt something was wrong. She glanced at the bowl and found that it was sherbet. She looked at the fourth elder brother, and she saw that the fourth elder brother was smiling at the corner of his mouth and looking at her tenderly.

The play on the stage was soon over. Su Peisheng stood on the edge of the stage and announced the next show, but it was just an ordinary Qingle performance. A few embroidered piers were brought up, and after a while, several court ladies came up with various musical instruments, and Wu Ning recognized the few people who seemed to be playing at the stern of the painting boat just now.

They each adjusted their instruments, and Fujin took advantage of this moment to raise a cup to the fourth elder brother and congratulate the fourth elder brother on his birthday. Seeing this, Geng quickly followed suit, and also raised his teacup and said: "I am bold, use tea instead of wine , Congratulations on the birthday of the prince." As he spoke, he drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp. Seeing that she was so ignorant of the rules, she rushed in front of herself and Wu Ning, and she was out of breath for a while, and said coldly: "Su I heard that Geng Gege is proficient in rhythm, not only knows the flute and flute, but also has a lyre with unparalleled music." After hearing this, Fujin put down the cup and looked at Li Shi, Geng Shi realized something, and looked at Li Shi with wonderful eyes. Shi watched over.

Mrs. Li smiled and pointed to the stage, and said: "It's such a good time, if sister Geng presents a song for the prince, it's not in vain for this talent and ability." She said it bluntly, and Fujin heard it , his face was blue and red, very ugly, Geng blushed, lowered his head and remained silent, and shrank slightly behind Fujin, with a look of pity for me.

At this embarrassing moment, the fourth elder brother said lightly: "Su Peisheng, why haven't you started yet?" Lelai, this is how to cover up the embarrassing situation at the table.

Li Shi glanced at Geng Shi, and lazily leaned back on the chair behind him, while Fujin sat still, with a dignified expression on his face.Geng Shi glanced at the fourth elder brother from the corner of his eyes, then silently lowered his head to hold the tea cup in his hands, only holding the lid of the tea bowl and kept patting the mouth of the cup, most of his body was hidden in the shadow behind Fujin.

Fujin went back to Prince Yong's Mansion on the second day, and brought Geng Shi back by the way. Geng Shi wanted to stay very much, but the fourth elder brother didn't seem to have this intention. When Li Shi heard about it, he just covered his mouth and sneered.

This day, when the fourth elder brother came to Wu Ning's place, Wu Ning was opening his hands, letting the sewing mother measure for himself and make summer clothes.

Since the fourth elder brother became the owner of the Xiangbai Banner, there was also a lot of supplies under the Xiangbai Banner. A large table was piled up with colorful materials, and another long table was pushed over and put together to barely fit it.

When the fourth elder brother entered, Wu Ning was raising his arms. Two sewing nurses: one bent over and measured her leg length, and the other stood on tiptoe behind her to measure her arm length. Wu Ning stood like a benchmark Usually, seeing that she was inconvenient, the fourth elder brother shook his hand, excused her, and sat down casually on the side, looking at the two nuns.

The two needleworkers were about to put down their tools to greet the prince, but the fourth elder brother stopped by raising his hand and said, "Measure her, continue to measure."

The two nuns had no choice but to continue to measure for Wu Ning tremblingly. They were seen sweating all over. They reported the number while measuring, and another nun took a pen and paper to record, and heard the reported shoulder width. Finally, he approached Wu Ning cautiously and tentatively said: "Master, why don't the servants put down the size? Make it looser? It's cool to wear in summer.".

She also just asked for Wu Ning's opinion, Wu Ning hadn't spoken yet, the fourth elder brother said from the side: "Okay, make it a little bigger, and it's comfortable to wear." Seeing that the prince had already spoken, the nanny hurriedly responded Yes, besides the data, I deliberately added more room for relaxation.
