The bright moon was misty, and after looking forward to it for a long time, she really heard it but became weak, and her words sounded over and over again in her heart, and the two of them didn't speak again, only hearing the sound of the tide accompanied by the chirping of seabirds, and the unextinguished candlelight on the rocky shore on the sea.

Mingyue was going to row the dragon boat on the second day, but he was reluctant to leave, so he took the stall and sent them home, grinding at the door, grinding the tips of his shoes on the ground, staring at Shi Gui and refusing to move.

Shi Gui was a little embarrassed, but Xizi was happy, and begged Qiu Niang to let Mingyue sleep with him: "My bed is wide, I can sleep." Looking at her mother, she knew that it was only useful for her sister to nod her head, so she couldn't stop sweeping Shi Gui.

"Ming'er Boat Race, your Brother Wu wants to go with his comrades, you leave him, what can you do if you make a mistake?"

Although Xizi was a little disappointed, the reason was clear, and he agreed to go to see him early in the morning, and the dragon boat was launched at noon, and he had to perform some juggling in the morning.

Qiu Niang pulled Xizi in, there were only two people in front of the door, Mingyue and Shi Gui, Shi Gui lowered his head, he didn't know what else to say, but Mingyue said: "You Ming'er hang up the lock, okay?"

The silver lock is thick, and it is not a lady, when he goes out, he has a Yingluo collar around his neck, Shi Gui laughs when he thinks about it, but he nodded: "You go, have a good night's rest, and you have to race the boat tomorrow." ”

Mingyue deserved a sound, his feet were weak when he walked on the road, his heart was happy, and he was a little ignorant, the moonlight shone on him, he laughed all the way to the door of Wu Qianhu's house, and greeted the door, the porter was very familiar with him, and the two wines didn't know how many times he drank them, seeing him laugh happily, he quipped: "What is a good thing?

Mingyue only heard him when she entered the door, and smiled back to her senses, "It's even better than that, much better." He went to the guest room, and lay on the bed and could not sleep, and he had been sticking pancakes on the bed all night, but his eyes were bright, and he was about to be happy when he thought about it, and he was faintly faint as if he had drunk wine.

When this momentum passed, I remembered what Shi Gui said about buying a house, and I was overjoyed at that time, and when I thought about it, I wondered how there was a person who bought a house and half of it, and asked for a daughter-in-law to marry in, but since he married in, the house was naturally prepared by him.

But then I thought that Shi Gui was so strong, and it was ordinary for him to refuse to rely on him, and then I thought that it was really worse for her family to buy a house at this time, did she want to marry early, and her thoughts turned a hundred times, and the better she was, the more she couldn't sleep, she opened her eyes and went outside to the rooster crow, jumped up, took the sword and waved it in the small courtyard.

There were four or five people in the same courtyard, none of them got up earlier than him, Wu Qianhu got up early, sat in the pavilion and read the military book, and when the servant served tea, he said a mouthful, he smiled and nodded, if it wasn't for his wife's refusal to agree, he would have spoken early, but thinking that Mingyue was indeed a little short, and he was promoted in two years, it was not too late to open this mouth again.

He instructed his subordinates to feed more food to the people in the small courtyard: "Let those who are solid and be full, and give less water to those who are soup." "He came to Suizhou, and the matter of suppressing bandits has not fallen on his head, and the people above would rather use his own series of generals than use him, and when he is transferred, there is always a chance to show his strength, but he didn't even think that he couldn't even touch the warship, if he couldn't show his face in martial arts, he didn't know how long he would sit on the cold bench.

The port of Suizhou is huge, and there are three or four hundred cargo ships a day, and there are many water bandits along the coast, robbing ships and robbing goods.

Because of the strict coastal defense, these water bandits do not become a climate, but they also disturb the people, and because there are few people and small boats, they rob things and leave, but they start in the dark, kill all the goods, and when people are thrown into the sea, the corpses cannot float, they dress up in disguise, take the road of the merchant ship and lead them ashore, they act as merchants, and they also trade normally, and they will leave when they earn a vote, and then go ashore with a different face next time.

Wu Qianhu wanted to make meritorious contributions, and he had been in Suizhou for almost a year, and he had not made an inch, if he performed well in martial arts this time, Shangguan would naturally ask, and it would be time for him to show his face.

Mingyue practiced knives, and the rest of them also got up, seeing that his eyes were red, and he was happy: "Get up so early in the morning, carefully get on the boat and fall asleep." "There is a water tank in the courtyard, and I pick up a scoop and pour it on my body bare-chested, and after wiping it once, I think it is washed, and everyone is dressed in the same rowing clothes, and the red cloth is rooted on the head, and I go to the dock first.

Shi Gui fell asleep, Qiu Niang still felt that this daughter was too big, and she didn't look like a little daughter at all, so she covered the door for her, and went back thinking about giving her a dowry, Mingyue was only afraid of difficulties if she wanted to hold a banquet, but fortunately, they were foreigners, and there were no relatives in the local area.

Qiu Niang thought far, not only to get married, the decoration of the house is not as delicate as at the beginning, there must be two boxes, and there is kung fu, thirteen pieces of furniture can also be done, this can't be bamboo, it has to be made of wood, she didn't even have it when she got married, and when her daughter wants to get married, she has to do it for her.

Mingyue is an orphan again, no mother, no father, not even an elder, and no one is married, everything has to be done by her, such a son-in-law is an extra son, and I thought about it once, that is, my husband can't find it for a while, and I'm not afraid of being bullied.

Shi Gui slept soundly, but Qiu Niang didn't sleep well all night, wanted to make a dowry and wanted a wedding room, and planned for Shi Gui for a night, and got up a little dazzled the next day, and woke up early in the morning after eating a cup of strong tea.

Ye Wenxin came over early in the morning, invited Shi Gui to take a break and went to the women's school, today is the Duanyang Club, to see if she is doing well, Shi Gui is a little apologetic, she has always been busy with the restaurant, and she is buying a house, she is not idle every day, and she didn't even ask how Ye Wenxin Duanyang Club is doing.

Ye Wenxin didn't care at all, but it was a pity that Song Yintang and Ye Wenlan couldn't go over to see it with their own eyes, Baisui came to wait for her at home, and she took Baisui to the women's school.

Shi Gui looked at the green calyx and pushed her: "I'll go, let you go early, you have to stay and help, you don't have much to do today, you hurry up and follow the girl." ”

Green Calyx couldn't let go of the restaurant in her heart, but Qiu Niang persuaded her two more words, and she caught up with a red face, Shi Gui took Qiu Niang and took Ah Zhen Xizi to the restaurant.

Before dawn, Wang Niangzi got up to chop pork, Zhang Sanniang came early to help, and couldn't make new clothes, only wore the velvet flower Damselfly, but the pine basket was still the old clothes, only two new yarn flowers were tied on the head, one was five poisons and one was a bean lady, Qiu Niang took the color rope and gave her the eight treasure flowers, because of the familiarity, the pine basket dared to laugh in front of her, the corners of the mouth were pursed, the big eyes were full of smiles, and the voice was still thin: "Thank you, the owner." ”

smiled and pursed her lips, quietly leaned over to Wang Niangzi, and showed her the new bean lady, rubbing her fingers, and she liked it but didn't dare to wear it, or Shi Gui put it on for her, she tilted her head and reached out to touch it, and when she touched the spider's feet, she didn't dare to touch it anymore, touched it gently, lowered her head and laughed.

It turned out that Mo said that it was the Duanyang Festival, that is, she didn't have a new thing for the New Year, knowing that her mother was busy with work so that she couldn't cut new clothes, and there were still materials sent by Qiu Niang in the house, and the grass pattern of the cloth, she never wore it, and she cherished it very much, and from time to time she had to turn it out to take a look, waiting for Wang Niangzi to be idle and make new clothes for her.

The meat filling is finely chopped, kneaded into balls and ready to go down to the oil pot, the oil paper wraps and fine bamboo sticks are ready, and when the sun rises, the gongs and drums outside sound, and the dragon dances on the pier and picks the green out, the meatballs are out of the pot, a bucket is fried, the lid is covered, and it is quickly pushed out while it is hot.

Qiu Niang gave Xizi two, Xizi took a bamboo stick and ate it, and saw the pine basket standing outside the door, as soon as there was something to eat, she hurried back to the house, Xizi stopped her, saw that she was born with a weak face, gave her her own one, and asked her: "Are you going to see the dragon boat?"

Songluo naturally wanted to go, but she felt that her mother was too hard, so Qiu Niang pulled the two of them: "Go, follow your sister, don't get separated, take pictures of flowers carefully." ”

Songluo was frightened, and he didn't dare to go, Xizi pulled her: "With me, don't be afraid, follow me and call me big brother." He had so many younger brothers, but he didn't have a younger sister, and he knew that Songluo used to be beaten often, and when he saw her cautious appearance, he felt pity for her and took her to play with her.

After blowing up a pot and coming out, I can take a break first, rest the stove and go out, all the people went to see, pushed the cart to the wharf, the people have been surrounded in a circle, the officials saw that the dragon boat was on the high shore of the Wanghai Tower, this piece is full of people, and some people have already carried food to sell.

As soon as the lid of Shiji's small croquettes was lifted, people came, and everyone was willing to spend money during the festival, and the children circled around the car, and after a while, they sold about 20 copies.

The people who eat are all live advertisements, fried meat is not much more fragrant than zongzi flour cake, one eats all of them are greedy, Ah Zhen also took a big pu fan to fan out the meat smell, smelled the aroma of meat and immediately someone came, there was a circle of people in front of the car, Shi Gui collected money, Wang Niangzi guarded the stall, and saw that a bucket would soon go down to a layer, and she was in a hurry to go back and fry some more.

Shi Gui pulled her: "Don't worry, it's not time yet." "At this time, a small number of people came, and when the boat race came, there were really many talents, and the meat she ordered was enough to sell, so let Wang Niangzi accompany the pine basket to see the juggling.

Qiu Niang touched twenty copper plates to Xizi, to give the pine basket, the pine basket refused to take it, Qiu Niang touched her head, looked at her and remembered that her daughter was a child, her temperament was completely different, but Qiu Niang just felt that Shi Gui must have suffered when she was a girl, and she felt more and more pity for her when she saw the pine basket.

Kiko patted her chest: "I'll lead her, I'll buy ice and snow water." The pine basket really followed him closely, not losing a single step, Xizi also bought a bowl for her, she held it in her hand and drank it, went back to hold it up and gave it to her mother, the mother and daughter were next to each other, watching the red dragon and the black dragon step on the bamboo frame to grab the color ball.

People crowded forward, half of the meatballs in the bucket were sold, Wang Niangzi entrusted the pine basket to Qiu Niang, and went back with Zhang Sanniang, so that Dafa would push the cart back to load the meat after it was sold, just for a while, the silver box was full.

As soon as the drums sounded on the sea, the dragon boat lifted the rain cloth, revealing the dragon head and dragon tail, the hull of the boat is the dragon body, painted with scales, depicted with gold threads, a total of five, white dragon, black dragon, red dragon, yellow dragon, green dragon, Shi Gui thought that Mingyue was on the red boat, stretched his neck to look, and swept his eyes back and forth from a distance, and sure enough, he saw the bright moon on the bow of the boat.

Shi Gui reached out and touched the big silver lock hanging around his neck, and he didn't know if he could see it.
