Chapter 87 The Cousin Meets the Prime Minister (3)
Ruoxi hurriedly said: "Where is there any time to hesitate? Cousin, hurry up and ask the boatman to drive the boat over and rescue those people!"

"The boatman said it was against the wind, so he didn't dare to take risks!" He heard the words and replied.

"Under heavy rewards, there must be a brave man!" Ruoxi replied after hearing this: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, grandma, there is no delay!"

After hearing this, the old lady hurriedly ordered: "Huanchen will ask other boatmen to see if anyone dares to go to sea to save people. We are willing to pay 200 taels of silver! If it doesn't work, you can add more!"

Huanchen heard the words and hurriedly put on his coir raincoat and went out, and came back after a while, saying that a boatman agreed to go out to save people.But it's still uncertain whether he can be saved, even if he can't be saved, it will cost 100 taels, and he has already agreed.

After a long while, there was only noise outside.Someone shouted and someone ran on the ship's side. It turned out that the boatman rescued him.There were three people in total, and they were exhausted after drifting on the plank for a while.Except for one who was still awake, the other two passed out.

Huanchen exclaimed when he saw that person, it turned out that this person was no stranger, it was Lin Yixuan!
He hurriedly reported to the old lady, and the old lady quickly ordered people to put Lin Yixuan and those two in the cabin.Huanchen took a few sets of clean clothes for them to change into, and asked the servants to boil hot ginger soup.

Lin Yixuan changed his clothes and drank ginger soup to thank the old lady.There was not much room in the cabin, so Ruoxi had no choice but to temporarily hide behind a small screen, with most of her body still exposed outside.

"This time, thanks to the old lady's righteous rescue, I escaped and ascended to heaven. I dare not forget the grace of saving my life. Please accept my worship!" After finishing speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady.

The old lady quickly helped him up, "This is the second young master's life, but why did you fall into the sea?"

"Originally I decided to go back with the old lady, and I had someone to take care of me on the way. Who knew that something went wrong in the business and it was delayed for a day. It happened that some experienced boatmen were hired away, so I had to find a young man. He It seems that I don’t have much experience, and I have to pat my chest and say it’s okay when I see the weather. Unexpectedly, the wind and rain are getting stronger, and the hull is damaged and entered the water. We had to grab some planks and jump into the sea. There are more than a dozen Personally, I didn't expect that only the three of us escaped the catastrophe, and those two were my servants. They had already woken up when I came over just now, but they were all rough people so I didn't surprise the old lady, so I just Thanks for them."

"It's okay for that boatman to not be afraid of death, but he has caused so many people to die for no reason. It's a crime!" The old lady sighed after hearing this, "There must be blessings if you survive a catastrophe! The second young master will go with us, anyway. I want to go back to the capital."

"Thank you, old lady, I won't refuse. Right now our master and servant are penniless, so it's rare that old lady is willing to take us on the road. When I return to the capital, I will definitely come to thank you!" Lin Yixuan saluted again.

At this moment, Han Xuan came back. Seeing that the rain was getting worse and worse, he seemed to have no intention of stopping. He was thinking about the old lady and others, so he ran back in the rain.He was surprised to see Lin Yixuan, it was really fate.

There are not many rooms on the boat, the old lady intentionally asked Ruoxi to free up the rooms.Lin Yixuan insisted on squeezing together with Han Xuan, so the old lady had no choice but to give up.

It took a long time for the rain to stop, and when the sun came out, there was a rainbow hanging in the sky.The boats in the harbor left one after another, and Ruoxi and the others set off as well.

Ruoxi has been stuffy in the cabin for a whole day, now that the boat is sailing on the sea and the sky is getting dark, there is no one walking around outside, so she got out to the stern to get some air.It was windy at sea, Qingyu went back to get her cloak.

Seeing a round bright moon rising from the sea, Ruoxi couldn't help but think of a famous saying, "A bright moon rises on the sea, and the world shares this moment."

"Good poetry!" A deep and magnetic voice sounded behind her.

Startled, she hurriedly turned her head to look over.The light at the stern was dim, and he couldn't see clearly from the shadows.She just felt that he was tall and exuded a cold aura all over his body, and those eyes staring at her made her feel uncomfortable.Few people can give her such a sense of oppression, she subconsciously took a step back.

"It surprised the girl." He said when he saw this, "I just came out to get some air, and I couldn't help applauding when I heard the girl's beautiful words."

"Young Master Lin laughed at your nonsense." Although she had never seen Lin Yixuan's face, she remembered the voice, "It's windy here, I'm going in, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, she was about to go back.

Suddenly, a figure stood in front of her, and that angular face stood out from the darkness.Ruoxi backed away in horror, her body became more and more stiff.

How could he block his way?Is it just his disguise to be gentle and polite in front of the old lady?It's dark and secluded here now, what does he want to do?Why didn't Qingyu come back to get the cloak?
"This jade pendant is for you, thank you for saving your life." Suddenly there was a crystal clear jade pendant in his hand, and he spread it out and handed it to Ruoxi.

Talking at such a close distance made her smell a faint smell of wine. It turned out that he drank too much, no wonder he was so shapeless.

"If you want to thank you, thank your grandmother and cousin. I didn't give money and I didn't contribute."

"Who said there must be a brave man under a heavy reward? Who said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda?" He took another half step forward, and Ruoxi could see the gleam in his eyes clearly, My heart couldn't help but flustered.Thinking of calling and calling friends in the modern age, friends of the opposite sex sometimes interact and hug each other, but now they are just getting closer, why are they so flustered?Could it be that he was completely assimilated by the culture here?

Before she could react, footsteps came from around the corner, it should be Qingyu who came back with her cloak.She felt panic and embarrassment like being caught having an affair, and the words that wanted to make Lin Yixuan leave quickly stuck in her throat.

"Take it, don't lose it!" Lin Yixuan's tone was a little more domineering, he stuffed the jade pendant into her hand and disappeared in a flash.

Qingyu's figure approached, and she was in front of her in a blink of an eye, she didn't seem to see the cloak in Lin Yixuan's hand covering Ruoxi's body.

"Originally, the servant has already brought the cloak and wants to come back, but when the young master saw it, he insisted that he was too thin, and asked the servant to pour a soup to bring it over." Qingyu pouted unhappily, "The servant said that the young master is too long-winded. What should a girl do if she catches the cold when going back and forth? If the girl is not feeling well, the maidservant can't spare Master Biao!" Then he stuffed the hot Mrs. Tang into Ruoxi's arms.

Ruoxi still held the jade pendant in her hand, she was full of thoughts about Lin Yixuan's rude behavior just now, and didn't respond to Qingyu's words at all.She was wrapped in a thick cloak, holding Mrs. Tang in her arms, she felt hot all over and felt an indescribable stuffiness in her heart.

"It's too late, let's go back." She lost interest in watching the sea view, and returned to the cabin with Qingyu.
