Chapter 26: Dragon Boat Race on Bixin Lake

"Big brother, did you hear it? The ladies and ladies who are famous in the capital will come to see it, big brother will have to take care of it later, hehe, keep ......" Shen Junchun bumped Shen Junhao who was sitting next to him with his arm, and said cheaply.

Shen Junhao glanced at Shen Junchun with a helpless smile on his face, took a slow sip of tea, and waited until Shen Junchun couldn't sit still before saying: "We're just here to have a good time, it doesn't matter to us, don't think about it, this is not in our own house." ”

Shen Junchun said indifferently, "Although Ning Wangfu doesn't have much contact with us on weekdays, our in-law relationship is not fake, and besides, King Ning loves the fifth sister so much, and it is not good to look at the face of the fifth sister, this is just our own family, so why are we restrained?"

The Shen family also gave Princess Ning face, this time, in addition to the young master of the concubine, the five young masters of the Shen family are actually here, and they also brought two young masters, Xu Zhuxing and Xu Zhuqing.

Shen Junrui and Shen Junjie, two little guys, one is eight years old and the other is seven years old, and they are obviously not very interested in the topics of their brothers, but it does not prevent the two characters who like to run behind their brothers, so they rely on their brothers. Shen Junrui held a plate of pastries in his hand, and gave them to Shen Junjie while eating, not forgetting to stare at his brothers.

"Little fat man, if you eat it again, you won't be able to see your chin. Shen Junchun looked at his little brother Shen Junrui and the little hamster with disgust, "This is a guest, when someone is entertaining, the pastries on the table are just a look, you eat like this, I don't know that the Shen family is hungry for you." ”

Shen Junrui had just eaten half of the piece of pastry in his hand, and when he heard Shen Junchun's words, he stopped there, looked at his round body and looked at the pastry in his hand, and finally looked at Shen Junhao and Shen Junxi pitifully. Even Shen Junjie looked at his brothers a little bewildered.

Shen Junxi couldn't help coughing, picked up a cup of tea and silently looked away, Shen Junhao smiled and looked at the two little brothers who also had the intention of teasing.

"The two cousins just eat, this dim sum and tea is used to entertain guests, naturally it is for people to eat, if it is not enough, just call someone to add it. "Xu Zhuxing is an honest character, and he likes two cousins these days, plus he doesn't have such a big brother in his family, so he has always been kind and tolerant to Shen Junrui and Shen Junjie.

Xu Zhuqing also said lightly: "It's a blessing to be able to eat, Cousin Chun is not jealous of his brother's good appetite." ”

Shen Junchun couldn't help but roll his eyes, knowing that Xu Zhuqing would definitely take the opportunity to damage himself and not entangle, and continued to ask Shen Junhao: "Big brother, look at the meaning of Princess Ning letting her subordinates pass, it is obvious that you want each family to look at each other, you and the Cao family just happened to quit again, didn't you just show Xiàn, maybe the sister-in-law will be here in the future." ”

Shen Junxi saw that the eldest brother didn't seem to have the meaning to explain, so he said: "The third brother doesn't have to instigate the eldest brother anymore, you all know one and don't know the other, although this Dragon Boat Banquet is said to have the meaning of each family, but these are just foils, I heard that this time several emperors and grandchildren of the right age have come over, I'm afraid this is the purpose of this banquet." ”

"Doesn't the marriage of the emperors and grandchildren all need to be appointed by the saint?" Although Xu Zhuqing has been smart since he was a child, he is already the only male in the second room of their Xu family, and there are no male elders to teach him, so he doesn't know much about this kind of thing involving the court and the harem, but fortunately, his grandmother insisted on sending him to study in the academy, so that he could learn these things through the teachers and classmates of the Guò Academy.

"Although it is a triennial draft, there are not some lists that are set in advance, besides, although it is decided by the saint in the end, but the first few times are in charge of the ladies of the palace, if this really looks at which, if it does not hinder anything, the saint will not necessarily blame, most of them turn a blind eye. ”

Shen Junxi explained with a smile, and then continued: "Besides, who does this Dragon Boat Banquet mean, according to the temperament of King Ning and his wife, there are few such banquets." ”

Xu Zhuxing was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Then do we still participate in this dragon boat race?"

"Participate, why don't you participate, don't you play such a fun thing, won't it come in vain?" Shen Junchun immediately replied.

Shen Junhao smiled and said: "Isn't it possible to seat up to four people on a boat, I won't go, and the fourth and fifth brothers don't need to go when they are young, just go and have fun if you want to go." ”

Xu Zhuqing shook his head: "I won't go, I don't know water, and I will only drag you down when the time comes." ”

Shen Junchun said in surprise: "It's okay, it's fun, dragon boat Saiye, how rare, in the past, I could only watch from the shore." ”

"It's okay, Cousin Zhuqing happened to stay with me to take care of the fourth and fifth brothers, and it was just right for the three of you to arrive. Shen Junhao originally wanted to persuade Xu Zhuqing to participate, but suddenly thought of something and changed his words.

"These two guys need to be looked after somewhere. Shen Junchun obviously disdained Shen Junhao's excuses, but since Shen Junhao had made a decision, he didn't say anything.

It's just that Shen Junrui on the side was very depressed, he didn't say anything, how could he have decided something, and couldn't help wailing: "Why can't we participate, isn't there no age limit?"

Shen Junchun glanced at them: "There is no age limit, but do you two have rowing pole height?"

Shen Junjie, who was about to protest in a word, was instantly stunned.

Because the dragon boat race didn't start until the end of the day, Shen Junqian was not in a hurry, and walked slowly around Bixin Lake.

Bixin Lake looks at the area is really not small, probably to hold a dragon boat race, some platforms have been built around the lake, in addition to the west of the lake there is a three-storey attic, the high platform next to the attic is also two or three meters high, and the red silk is tied around, you can also see wormwood and other Dragon Boat Festival items hanging everywhere after walking a few steps.

Seeing that the circle was not finished yet, there were more people who slowly wanted to gather in Bixin Lake.

Shen Junqian thought for a while and asked, "Is the dragon boat race about to start?"

Wen Renyun estimated the time, nodded and said, "I didn't expect that we haven't finished shopping, it's just this hour, but there are still a few quarters of an hour to start, can we still shop?"

Shen Junluo couldn't help kicking his legs and said, "Let's find a place with a good view to rest, if we go shopping like this, our feet will be broken." ”

"Indeed, if I hadn't been chatting and playing with you all the time after a long time of shopping, I wouldn't have been able to walk so far today. "Lord Min is also a little tired, this mention of yì is simply deep in her heart.

Shen Junqian looked around, pointed to the attic on the west side, and said, "Shall we go there?" ”

Huang Shiyao was already tired and pulled her sister's hand, let her walk in front and pull herself away, glanced at the attic and said, "Let's go, let's find a room in the attic, we can sit down and rest, and eat something inside, it just so happens that I am a little hungry." ”

Seeing that everyone wanted to go to the attic, Wen Renyun led everyone to find a room near the lake on the third floor of the attic, and asked the next person to bring tea and snacks.

The location of Shen Junqian and the others was indeed very good, and it didn't take long to see the three Shen Junwei sisters and a few other girls coming over, anyway, the room was still big, and the people on both sides sat together.

Bixin Lake was bustling and lively for a while, only to see that all the boats participating in the dragon boat festival were ready.

Take a closer look, there are a total of nine boats participating in the dragon boat festival this time, and the boats will not have seats for four people, only the dragon head and dragon tail are complete, and the number of the dragon head is used as the distinction of each boat.

Shen Junqian and Shen Junluo were lying by the window, aiming hard, only to see Shen Junchun and a few people, and couldn't help but wave over there.

The platform directly south of Bixin Lake is the main venue for this dragon boat event, and there are also viewing platforms around the platform, where most of the ladies sit.

Shen Junying glanced outside behind Shen Junqian and said, "There's nothing to see, they haven't gotten to the lake to start the game yet." ”

Shen Junchun also saw his sister beckoning, and couldn't help but raise his head and chest, and prepared to show his heart.

When the big drum of the game "knocked and knocked", the nine boats rushed out quickly.

Wen Renyun looked out from afar and said to the sisters: "Of these nine boats, two of them are the emperor's grandsons, three are the little princes in the grandmaster, and the other four are all teams composed of sons of various families. ”

Shen Junluo excitedly pointed to the No. 3 boat that was rowing forward and backward and said, "Did you see it, did you see it?" That's my second brother rowing." As he spoke, he shouted to Shen Junwei: "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, come and see!"

Shen Junqian was also excited, lying on the window and staring without blinking.

The others were originally reserved, but they were infected by Shen Junluo and Shen Junqian, and they flocked to the window one after another and began to discuss.

"Look, it seems to be the third grandson of the second prince's family, who is with him, they are so fast, I'm afraid they are going to win the championship. ”

"That's not necessarily, you see the boat behind the three emperors, it's only a little bit about to overtake, who is the one sitting on the right, so handsome. ”

"You guys go out and give me this room. Everyone in the room was discussing it around the window, when suddenly a voice came from the doorway.

Suddenly interrupted by this voice, the originally lively room was silent, and the people inside couldn't help but look back.

As soon as Shen Junying looked at the person, she couldn't help but sneer, and said to the person who had just spoken: "Who did I think it was, such a big shelf, isn't it the cousin of the Ma family?

It turned out that the girl who spoke was the daughter of Ma's mother's half-brother, and Shen Junying was a cousin, because Ma was the only concubine left by Ma's original match, and she was not very close to her stepsisters, and the Shen Junying sisters were not very close to the brothers and sisters of the Ma family, and they often fought-for-tat.
