Three days later, on the canal.

In the guest room on the second floor.

Daiyu was leaning against the window and reading a book. The further south she went, the weather became much better. The water on the canal was moist, and her body became less tired.

Zijuan saw Xiangling looking a little distracted, and laughed and scolded: "You are becoming more and more of an idiot. You come to sit here just to be in a daze?"

Daiyu heard the sound and looked sideways. When she saw Xiangling's cute look, she couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Xiangling was a little embarrassed, hesitated, and decided not to hide anything from Daiyu and Zijuan, who were very good to her, and said: "Our father said that he got some letters from my parents and asked me if I would like to find them." My parents..."

"Ouch!"

Daiyu, Zicuckoo and the snow geese who came in from outside were all shocked when they heard this. Zicuckoo said anxiously: "Why don't you want to do this?"

Daiyu was suspicious: "You don't even remember anything, how could he know?"

Xiang Ling whispered: "I said that he asked Uncle Xue and found out where the kidnapper abducted me. There are also some other clues. There is probably a chance to find them."

Daiyu sighed: "If that's the case, that's because he put his heart into it."

Xue Yan whispered: "Xiang Ling, do you want to go back to your parents?"

Xiangling shook her head and said, "I want to follow our master."

Zijuan and Xueyan couldn't figure it out and asked, "Why is this?"

Xiangling blushed, but couldn't explain why.

Xue Yan suddenly had an idea and said, "Could it be that I can't bear to part with Mr. Xiao Qiang? He was born so well..."

Xiangling nodded and shook her head. She was getting very anxious when she heard Daiyu spat: "You are a little kid who can talk nonsense. Xiangling is just afraid of being sold since she was a child. The whole family in the east and the west will suffer a lot." .Now that she is with Brother Qiang, and Brother Qiang treats her well, she has finally settled down and doesn’t want to wander anymore, right?”

Xiangling was moved and nodded repeatedly, saying: "It's the girl who understands after all!"

Zicuckoo smiled and scolded: "I don't say that I can't explain clearly, but we don't understand!"

Daiyu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Now you are already a member of Brother Qiang's room. Even if you find your parents, they are just two more relatives. It is a good thing, why bother yourself? "

Xiangling's smile became even prettier, she tilted her head closer to Daiyu, and said in surprise: "The girl is exactly the same as what our father said, but our father also said that if I am willing, he can give me a deed and let me go home..."

Zicuckoo and Xueyan looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Daiyu also frowned lightly and said, "Really?"

Xiangling whispered: "On the day Uncle Xue gave me to our father, he gave me the body deed. But I didn't ask for it..."

Xue Yan shouted "Yeah": "You are so stupid!"

Although the rhododendrons made a sound at the same time, their cries were completely different: "This is how it should be."

Daiyu glared unkindly at Xue Yan who came back to his senses and quietly stuck out his tongue, then nodded to Xiang Ling and said: "Since he is a sentient being, you can't lose your loyalty. You seem to be stupid, but in your heart He is really loyal. Xueyan seems to be shrewd, but in fact he has not grown up yet. However, I really did not expect Brother Qiang to have such a big heart. I just thought that he was uneducated and incompetent..."

Daiyu had heard a lot about Jia Qiang from Baoyu. When she lived in Ning Mansion, there was no need to mention that she was a playboy.

Later, after escaping from the Ning Mansion and living alone, I heard that I liked reading. However, the good times did not last long, and I did not study seriously for a few days, so I went to sell mutton skewers...

It can be seen that reading the book for a few days was just a show.

However, Xiangling raised a rare objection and said seriously: "Girl, our father is not ignorant. He gets up early every day and studies without stopping. Moreover, he can also write very good stories.

, it’s really beautiful!”

Seeing Xiang Ling's eyes widened and her promise, Dai Yu said with a smile: "Brother Qiang is still studying hard, which is unexpected, but it makes sense. But you said he is still writing stories?"

Xiang Ling was a little anxious and said: "She is a real girl, her writing is very good!"

Daiyu teased: "What do you know..." and then said: "What story did he write? Could it be that he is also a talented man and a beautiful woman, and does he also have a pretty maid named Xiangling?"

She thought it was a story compiled by Brother Qiang to coax the beautiful maid.

Rhododendrons and snow geese laugh.

However, Xiangling blushed and said aggrievedly: "No, it's about a white snake who was rescued by a little shepherd boy, practiced it for 1,800 years, and came back to repay his kindness."

"Um?!"

Zicuckoo and Xueyan both let out a sound of surprise.

Daiyu is not bad, however. Because there have been supernatural novels since ancient times, especially in the late Han Dynasty and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, witchcraft was popular, and ghosts became more and more popular. In addition, Buddhism began to enter China and gradually spread. Therefore, since

From the Jin Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, there were many books about ghosts, gods, and strange things.

For example, the famous "Sou Shen Ji" contains the familiar legends "Gan Jiang Mo Xie" and "Dong Yong".

However, I have never heard of the story of Lao Shizi and the White Snake repaying his kindness.

Without her asking, Zijuan and Xueyan, two boring girls on the boat, started asking: "Tell me, how can you repay your kindness?"

Xiangling tilted her head, recalled carefully, and said slowly: "Bai Suzhen... is the woman transformed by the white snake. She is very beautiful. She first crossed the boat with Xu Xian on the West Lake, and then on the Broken Bridge, she calculated that 1,800 years ago

The shepherd boy who saved her was reincarnated as Xu Xian, and the two fell in love. Bai Suzhen decided to marry Xu Xian in return for saving her life..."

"Wow!!"

This kind of love between humans and beasts... no, the love between humans and demons, not to mention now, even hundreds of years from now, can still be popular all over the world, let alone now?

Not to mention Zijuan and Xueyan were both amazed, Daiyu also lit up her starry eyes and looked at Xiangling.

It's a pity...

Seeing Xiangling staring at them with her big eyes, Zijuan laughed angrily and said, "Keep talking, what next?"

Xiang Ling said innocently: "Second Master Qiang just wrote this, there is nothing more below, it hasn't been written yet..."

"Eh~~"

Seeing Zicuckoo, Xueyan made a sound of disdain. Xiangling hurriedly said: "What I said was too simple. I only think it looks good, but I can't remember it. By the way, sister Xiaojing also watched it, and she also

Said it was ten times better than the best show she had ever seen!"

Hearing this, Daiyu rolled her eyes and said excitedly: "What's the point of just listening to your nice words? Why don't you show it to us?"

How could Xiangling be fooled? She shook her head and said, "This can't be done. The second master said that those books are going to be sold. When they arrive in Yangzhou, they can buy us osmanthus cakes..."

Zicuckoo laughed "Pfft" and cursed: "Bah! There is no future! When I get to the Yangzhou girl's house, will I still be without you to satisfy my craving?"

Xiangling still didn't dare, but she was a little quick-witted and said happily: "Yes, how about going to our cabin, girl?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "How to do it?"

Xiang Ling shook her head repeatedly and said: "I remembered, our father told sister Xiaojing earlier that the girl is weak, so instead of teaching her martial arts first, it is better to take her to run on the deck every day, even if she doesn't want to It's also good to run or walk more. There are only my own family members on the left and right boats. When the girl goes out, just send the nanny to ask other people to stay away."

Daiyu said speechlessly: "Brother Qiang is becoming more and more unruly. He even ran away... It's a shame he said it out loud."

However, Zicuckoo, who knew her best, could see a hint of heartbeat in Daiyu's eyebrows. It was not a heartbeat to go for a run on the deck, but to go out for some fresh air and go to the cabin to see who Bai Suzhen was. .

Zijuan persuaded softly: "Girl, what Mr. Qiang said makes sense. We are the only family on the boat now. As long as the mothers ask the boatman and Mr. Lian's entourage to stay in the room temporarily, the girl can still go out and get some fresh air. Then If it doesn't work, you might as well go to the cabin and read the book written by Mr. Qiang. Staying in the house all the time is not good for your health."

Hearing this, Daiyu hesitated and said: "It's not good..."

Zicuckoo smiled and said: "What's wrong with this? You can go and see that foreign woman again. I haven't seen her come up all day, and I know that she is pestering the second master Xiaoqiang. This foreign woman is really not ashamed! It smells good! It’s just that Ling is stupid, but that Hongfu girl doesn’t care about it... Forget it, ignore his family affairs, it has nothing to do with us. I will go and tell my mother now..."

After that, he left the house happily.
