Scheme of the Official Descendant

Sure enough, Xiao Jinglin's painting boats came very soon. Although Xiao Jinglin didn't come today, the two painting boats stopped at the nearby river section early in the morning.

Yun Qiuchen asked with a normal expression: "The princess's boat is also safe, shall we go up?"

The rest of the ladies from Kyoto looked at each other, and then they all looked at Yan Ningshuang at the same time.

Yan Ningshuang smiled: "Let's go up then." As she said that, she helped her servant girl's hand and walked to the painting boat first.

Zhao Yingqiu suddenly pressed his forehead and swayed unsteadily. Yun Qiuchen who was standing beside her quickly gave her a hand, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Ms. Zhao?"

Yan Ningshuang also turned her head to look at it.

Zhao Yingqiu showed a weak smile: "I feel a little uncomfortable after blowing the river wind all afternoon. I didn't feel it before, but now I see the boat..."

Everyone understood what they said, Zhao Yingqiu probably thought of the time when she came to Yanbei to take the boat, and her condition on the boat was not very good at that time, and she was listless.

Yan Ningshuang said: "Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Zhao Yingqiu nodded, and said to everyone apologetically, "Then I'll go first, and you sisters, have fun."

Yun Qiuchen beckoned to his maid, Yinzhu, and said, "You go back with Miss Zhao, and then ask Dr. Yang to show Miss Zhao."

Zhao Yingqiu thanked her and left with Yinzhu.

The rest of the people followed Yan Ningshuang and Yun Qiuchen to the boat.

Xiao Jingxi's painting boat sailed slowly towards the lower reaches of the Liyang River, and the other painting boat followed behind. The portrait looks like it is really coming to enjoy the scenery of rivers and mountains.

However, the painting boat in the back didn't seem to affect the people on the front painting boat. Pei Zhiyan invited Xiao Jingxi to have a match with him, and Xiao Jingxi readily agreed. The Xu couple and Ren Yaoqi sat quietly and watched the chess.

Pei Zhiyan and Xiao Jingxi are both top players in chess. Pei Zhiyan's chess style seems to be loose, but he likes to move from time to time. . No matter how Pei Zhiyan plays, Xiao Jingxi will not be taken away from his rhythm. It's just that when he makes a killing move at the right time, he is merciless and the killing is decisive.

Although the two of them didn't play chess quickly, the battle was very intense, attracting people who watched the chess even more than when they watched the dragon boat race before.

Ren Yaoqi had played against Xiao Jingxi before, and originally she had secretly thought that if Xiao Jingxi met Pei Zhiyan, who would be better at chess than the other, and finally came to the conclusion that her husband might be slightly better. But look at this fight. Ren Yaoqi felt that her previous judgment might be somewhat subjective. Although Xiao Jingxi had no obvious advantage over Pei Zhiyan, he never showed any defeat from the beginning to the end.

So Ren Yaoqi somewhat understood that when Xiao Jingxi played chess with her, he more or less let her go. Especially that one draw. With Xiao Jingxi's calm chess style, it shouldn't be so easy to be fooled by her. After all, compared to the trick of trapping the enemy, if Pei Zhiyan takes second place, no one would dare to take second place.

When the two sides were inseparable and the situation was stalemate, Pei Zhiyan smiled and looked at Xiao Jingxi with sincere appreciation. He joked leisurely: "Looking at human nature from the style of chess. Mr. Xiao is so immovable even when playing chess, invulnerable to swords and guns. Pei can't help being a little curious. Has Mr. Xiao never panicked about something?"

Hearing the words, Xiao Jingxi raised his eyes, and a white ball was twirling lightly between his fingers. He glanced vaguely at Ren Yaoqi who was beside him, and said with a smile, "Of course there are."

"Oh?" Pei Zhiyan showed a rare look of curiosity, and the Xu couple also looked at him and wanted to hear the following.

However, Ren Yaoqi's heart skipped a beat when she saw his glance, and she was a little nervous, for fear that Xiao Jingxi would say something nonsense.

Xiao Jingxi gently placed the white piece in his hand on the chessboard, and it was another ingenious move. When everyone's attention was drawn to the chessboard, he slowly said: "Will you be nervous? Look at the right people and things, as long as you are a human being, there will always be something you care about in your heart, and I naturally have it."

Pei Zhiyan glanced at Xiao Jingxi with some surprise. Having a weakness is not something that can be brought out, especially a person with Xiao Jingxi's identity and status will not admit this, because if there is a weakness, it will Equivalent to having a weakness.

Meeting Pei Zhiyan's gaze, Xiao Jingxi smiled slightly: "Avoiding one's 'weakness' is tantamount to denying oneself, this is the behavior of the weak."

Pei Zhiyan tilted his head and said a word, but his eyes were full of interest: "Then how does Young Master Xiao treat his weakness? To overcome it?"

Xiao Jingxi thought for a while, and his voice was still with a faint smile: "If you can overcome the customer service, you can face it if you can't. Since it is an indispensable part of yourself, you should take it seriously." After a pause, he continued Said, "And I don't think it's bad for a person to have one or two weaknesses. People are not sages, and the feeling of being in a high place is not very good."

Ren Yaoqi was listening, and couldn't help looking at Xiao Jingxi's side face in a daze, unable to look away.

Although Xiao Jingxi's face was still calm when he said this, for some reason, he had a particularly attractive temperament. Although he admits that he has weaknesses, at this moment no one will doubt that the calm but confident young man in front of him is an absolute strongman.

Everyone present sighed a little when they heard the words, as if they were all lost in their own thoughts because of Xiao Jingxi's words, and they are all mortals with weaknesses.

However, Xiao Jingxi turned his head at this time and met Ren Yaoqi's gaze. The faint warmth and gentle smile in his eyes passed on to Ren Yaoqi unreservedly with heart-pounding affection. He quickly turned his eyes back to pay attention to the chess game, which still made Ren Yaoqi's heart beat wildly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At the end of the game, it was no surprise that they reached a stalemate.

Xiao Jingxi and Pei Zhiyan looked at each other, Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly, and threw a piece like a chess pot: "I lost."

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "This is a draw."

Pei Zhiyan shook his head, and said leisurely: "It may not be easy for you to beat me now, that's just because of my age... In a few years, I may not be able to win from you."

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, and joked: "Mr. Yi Pei, it seems that in a few years you won't have to be as young as I am?"

Xu Wanli couldn't help laughing, looked at Pei Zhiyan teasingly and said, "This reminds me of children who always think that they will grow bigger than their elder brother in a few years, but they don't know that he is growing, and his elder brother is also growing. Honestly, the more you live, the more you will go back!"

Mrs. Xu also laughed.

Pei Zhiyan didn't care about the jokes of this year-end friend, and shook his head with a smile: "What I mean is, in a few years, even if I have the glory of my age, I may not be able to win this little friend Xiao. Why do you force me to understand?" admit it?"

Xu Wanli was stunned when he heard the words, and then he said unwillingly: "What little friend? You have messed up people's seniority by calling people so recklessly!"

Xu Wanli is Xiao Jingxi's husband, so he is naturally a generation older than him. Pei Zhiyan is Xu Wanli's brother-in-law and his old friend. How can you say that Pei Zhiyan is also a generation older than Xiao Jingxi, calling him a friend is indeed a mess of seniority.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip leisurely, then said nonchalantly, "I recognize my little friend, what does it have to do with you? You are still his husband. Otherwise, at your age, you will treat me as an old friend So-so, if you admit him, you will inevitably feel like an old cow eating young grass."

Xu Wanli couldn't help being furious when he heard this, and started arguing with Pei Zhiyan.

Ren Yaoqi watched in amazement as Pei Zhiyan bickered with Xu Wanli with a relaxed expression and sharp words. She had never seen Pei Zhiyan getting along with a real best friend. It turns out that Mr. also has a childish side? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help feeling very fresh.

All in all, this short boat tour was very pleasant, but it was a pity that Pei Zhiyan had to go back to the other courtyard to discuss with two other officials how to write the notes, and it was inconvenient to accept the invitation to stay for dinner, so the boat paraded along the Liyang River for a long time Back and forth, it stopped at the place where it was originally boarded.

And although the painting boat that was following them had returned, it was a little far away.

Xiao Jingxi left some people to take care of them, but when they were about to get into their carriages, they saw someone running to the bow of Xiao Jinglin's painting boat, waving to this side and shouting something. It's a little far away, so I can't hear it clearly.

Several people stopped in their tracks, Xiao Jingxi beckoned for a bodyguard and asked him to take a boat to meet him and see what happened.

Ren Yaoqi whispered to Xiao Jingxi: "Is there anyone with medical skills here? To be on the safe side, it's better to let someone with medical skills go there together."

Ren Yaoqi's concerns were not unreasonable, the boat sailed smoothly on the river, but the people on board panicked, maybe the doctor would be more effective in the past.

Xiao Jingxi nodded when he heard the words: "There are two doctors waiting, they should still be there now." Then he turned his head and gave some instructions.

When the small boat here was ready, a doctor came over with a medicine box on his back.

Several guards and the doctor boarded the boat together, and rowed towards the painting boat extremely fast. Xiao Jingxi himself did not go there. There were all capable warriors and doctors on the boat, so it would not be of any help for him to go there.

Not long after, the boat that had rowed past came back again, but the doctor was no longer on the boat, and the guards reported immediately after landing: "Master, a young lady suddenly fainted."
