Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Xia Youmi was also quite tolerant of Fu Shi.

The reason is that she has started to customize small jewelry based on Fu Shi's flower patterns, and also to paint for him when he goes on trips.

Originally, Xia Youtian was very magnanimous.

Her second older sister commissioned many pieces of jewelry for her and even collaborated with her on the designs.

but!

My second sister never drew a portrait of her!

When she saw the lifelike painting, she almost stared a hole through it.

A few strands of hair involuntarily popped out on the top of her head, and that annoying guy Fu Zhao even tugged at them and played with them.

That scene is too painful to recall.

"Tianbao, your second sister just happened to see painting tools on that painted boat. The scenery was so beautiful, and I just couldn't resist getting my hands dirty." Xia Youmi smiled pitifully at Xia Youtian, flipping through the cartoon drawings she had made for her one by one.

The above is a simple sketch depicting Xia Youtian's appearance from age one to fifteen. The earlier years are said to be based on her appearance, but in reality, it was drawn from the original body's memories and based on the actual young Xia Youtian.

She was indeed caught up in the moment, unable to resist the familiar and appealing paints, and neglected her younger sister's feelings. By the time she decided to continue painting Xia Youtian, there wasn't enough time, and the boat she was on had already returned.

It was naturally inappropriate to borrow the boat owner's tools again.

The owner was a friend of the Fu family and was not on the boat.

Therefore, they were unable to inquire about the source of the tools and paints. However, based on Xia Youmi's experience, these things were not something that could be bought on the market.

Most of them are exclusively supplied through a certain channel.

This "something" is very likely related to royal privileges.

When Xia Youtian learned that her second sister had returned last night and painted a picture for her by lamplight, she had already lost her temper.

She puffed out her cheeks, just wanting her second sister to coax her.

Now, when we see this unique and substantial cartoon again...

My heart is already bubbling with joy.

"This is beautiful, but... I also want a painting like Sister Fushi's."

"Definitely! Next time we'll secretly charter a boat, without inviting the two of them, just to paint for you, okay?" Xia Youmi coaxed sweetly, making Xia Youtian's chubby cheeks gradually deflate.

"OK then!"

"Actually, it's fine to take them along."

“I like all the paintings my second sister drew.”

Xia Youtian eventually accepted the Fu siblings.

In particular, Fu Shi often had very pleasant conversations with Xia Youmi.

Xia Youtian could only interact with Fu Zhao.

They went from being distant and awkward with each other to becoming familiar, letting down their guard, and teasing each other.

Progress has been slow, but quite solid.

Fu Zhao's affection for her was so obvious that everyone except Xia Youtian could tell.

just,

He was still in the stage where he liked her so much that he would pull her hair and deliberately try to make her angry.

Occasionally, even Fu Shi couldn't bear to look at it.

He acted as if he were the one causing trouble for his sister, and then made amends to Xia Youmi doubly.

Make people dumbfounded.

......

The imperial examinations are just around the corner.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became tense.

Whenever I go to Jiyilou for dinner, I see the betting amounts constantly rising, or I learn that the popular figures have extraordinary backgrounds.

Some restlessness is inevitable.

The waiter was a smooth talker; he would always launch into a long tale about a certain young man who was the prized student of a great Confucian scholar, whose essays had been praised by the emperor. Or he would mention a certain candidate from Jiangnan who, with his sharp writing style, had defeated several teachers and was hailed as having the talent of a top scholar.

But when you show some difficulty.

He will also lay some traps. After you launch a money offensive, the waiter will sell you some information about the candidates, including where they live, which high-ranking officials they are close to, and what their weaknesses are.

Xia Youmi and Xia Yibai had to pretend to be stupid for a long time to get all of this out of that shrewd waiter.

The more information they have.

The deeper the leak of their own information, the more convincing it is.

The number of people betting is merely the motivation to dig deeper into someone's background.

Fortunately,

They are all rather simple-minded.

I can quickly regulate my nervousness; if not, my two younger sisters will act silly and make everyone laugh.

A letter arrived from home saying that everything was fine.

They could just focus on preparing for their exams and having fun, and return the day before the third brother's wedding was fine. Next to it was a small, crooked note from Xia Yiliu: Don't listen to him, come back as soon as possible, and bring your little brother next time.

main room.

The people who read the letter all burst into laughter.

"Alright, Dad said you should all have fun and not stay cooped up at home. The weather is nice today, and Tian'er mentioned wanting to go boating last time, so this time your second brother will pay for it, and you can all have a great time!"

"Wow! Second brother is so awesome!" Xia Youtian grabbed Xia Yibo's arm, overjoyed.

Since returning from their last boat trip, they had gone to shops in the capital to buy all their painting supplies and paints. However, with the imperial examinations approaching, they decided not to go out. They wanted to stay home and keep their second brother happy, trying to help him relax.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yibai himself told them to go and have fun.

"However, don't go too far. You still need to have guards with you, understand?" Xia Yisong instructed from the side, while he naturally stayed at home to wait.

The younger sisters have played so many times without any incident, and I've even heard that they're close to the heir and daughter of the Marquis of Xiancang.

Maybe,

He should be able to relax a little from all the worries he's always carrying.

"Okay, big brother."

They brought a coachman and two guards with them. After the four of them were put on the boat, the coachman did not leave but waited at the tea stall at the dock.

"Sir, are there any other boats available for charter?"

"Replying to Miss, the weather is fine today, and all the boats have already been booked. However... there are a few customers ahead of us who want to rent a boat, but they can't afford the charter fee, so they are willing to share the cost with other customers."

This is already the busiest dock in the capital, with a very good reputation. They only rent exquisite and sturdy boats.

Changing docks doesn't guarantee safety.

"Second sister, it's fine to ride together, as long as we go to the same destination and it doesn't interfere with our painting!"

"This..." Xia Youmi was still a little hesitant. She wanted to charter the boat, but if she encountered someone with a different personality, she was afraid she wouldn't have a good time.

"Miss, look, those are the ones over there."

The old man pointed to a group of five people walking towards them. They had delicate features, but their faces showed no signs of being bad people.

Xia Youmi glanced at Xia Youtian's reaction and saw that she showed no resistance or dissatisfaction, but was even quite excited, so she agreed to the suggestion of sharing the boat.

Before boarding the ship, he sent a message back with the coachman.

They told their two older brothers about what was happening there.

After going up.

First, let the system scan the structure of the boat to confirm the location of the bamboo raft and the number of people on board.

In fact,

Despite trusting Xia Youtian's intuition, Xia Youmi, who had already developed the habit, would still take precautions whenever she entered an uncontrollable environment.

She prepared four "gourd waist boats," which are hollowed-out gourds that are tied around the waist as life-saving tools and have a certain buoyancy.

The two guards carried large gourds, but they could swim, so the gourds were actually meant for Xia Youtian.

Xia Youtian never learned to swim.

The main reason was that the couple wouldn't allow it, fearing that those who had passed the "water tribulation" would be attacked by the water god if they recklessly challenged him.

Xia Youmi was worried that she wouldn't be able to exert her strength.

Wouldn't it be incredibly awkward if she were bound by the power of the plot?
