Yan Qi looked at Wu Changge.

"Don't want to know how strong the strongest archer in the world is today?"

"Yes," Yan Qi said, "but I heard that that person is not you. ”

"You'll see that person tomorrow. Wu Changge didn't think it was too angry, "Tomorrow there will be a shooting competition after the dragon boat race, and the person who wins the final will have the opportunity to challenge that person." You can try, and if you can get half of him, I'll allow you to quit the Zongwu Society. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it. "Yan Qidao.

Wu Changge turned around and walked out, and Yan Qi followed out, seeing Wu Yue, Lu Rong and Cui Xi waiting at the bottom of the steps outside.

"Uncle Twelve. Wu Yue casually greeted Wu Changge and then rushed straight to Yan Qi, "Xiao Qi! You are amazing! A female enemy and all men are not soft......!

Yan Qi squeezed Wu Yue's mouth and carried her down the steps.

"Why are Xiao Lotus's eyes red?" Yan Qi asked Lu Lotus.

"I'm excited and crying!" Wu Yue, who struggled out from under Yan Qi's fat clutches, laughed at Lu Rong.

Lu Rong waved her hand and patted her embarrassedly, and said to Yan Qi with a smile: "It's so good, I'm all boiling with blood." ”

"Yes, go back and smash the piano, Ming'er will follow us to practice bows and arrows." "Yan Qidao.

"The piano is my bow, my hand is my arrow, and I practice it every day. Lu Rong said with a smile.

"What about you?" Yan Qi asked Cui Xi, "You still want to join the comprehensive martial arts team, do you see the big guys of the opponent today?"

Cui Xi smiled: "The head of the martial arts sect has approved my application to join the company, and you will probably change positions in the next game." ”

"Huh, could it be that my twelfth uncle entrusted you with the heavy task of designing the position?" Wu Yue looked at Cui Xi in surprise.

"He only gave me one chance, and if the position I designed didn't help the team, he would kick me out of the club again. Cui Xi said with a smile.

"What a domineering president. Yan Qi sighed.

"How are you, are you okay?" Cui Xi looked at her.

"Very tired. "Yan Qidao.

"I'm too nervous," Cui Xi said with a smile, "I ran smoothly when I first came on the field, right?"

"Ah, you found out!" Yan Qidao.

"What, Xiao Qi ran on a crutch?" Wu Yue came over with a smile, "Is that so?" and imitated Yan Qi's running posture with a crutch posture, and almost tripped over his foot after running a few steps, and couldn't help but laugh and leaned back together.

"This evil obstacle is crazy. "Yan Qidao.

"Take the realgar wine. Lu Rong also joked.

"That's right, Ming'er is going to watch the dragon boat race!" Wu Yue remembered something important, and hurriedly smiled, "Last year, I watched it on the official boat, but this year it won't be my turn, I can only watch it from the shore, which of you can still watch on the official boat?" Take me one!"

Dragon Boat Festival is a very important festival in ancient times, in addition to the dragon boat race is an indispensable one, that is, the emperor Laozi as long as there is no particularly important event at hand, but also every year on this day with the civil and military officials to run out of the palace to see the lively, then will use the official boat, carry the hundred officials and their families, row on the lake to watch the game at close range, and because of the large number of people and few boats, and the limited space on the lake, each family can get on the boat has a fixed number, like the martial arts such as "big producers" It is impossible for all of them to get on the official boat, and even the officials with a slightly lower rank have no boat to ride, so they can only watch on the shore with the people, at best, there is one more temporary high platform that can sit higher than the people.

According to the regulations, the officials who are qualified to go to the official ship can only go to ten people at a time, including the number of people who are attached to them. So under normal circumstances, everyone does not bring people on the boat so that they can bring a few more family members. The martial arts family doesn't think about anything, honestly ten people go up every year, even Lu Lotus has a time when he can't get on the boat, Yan Qi can be on the boat every year, who teaches people to have a good Chinese uncle.

For Wu Yue's request, Lu Lotus couldn't give a reply, after all, her family was in such a situation, Yan Qi couldn't make a final decision, there were only ten children in the family, in previous years, Yan Xiao was ten years young, and he couldn't get on the boat, and now he is almost six years old, if he doesn't let him get on the boat, Mrs. Yan San is afraid that she will not be happy at first, in addition to the children, there are also old lady and his wife and two wives, Master Yan San brought students who want Qiu Yu in the academy, should not come to see it, then there is also a Yan Si master, there are sixteen people who are careful to calculate, who will get on the boat and who will not let anyone get on the boat? If you add another Wu Yue, Yan Qi has no opinion and no use, and the rest of the Yan family can be happy?

Cui Xi's family also has a large population, and the three of them didn't have a good time to give an accurate word.

Yan Qi finally thought about it, looked at the longing gaze that Wu Yue tried to hide, and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll accompany you to watch it on the shore." ”

"I'll be with you too. Lu Rong also said.

"I'll accompany Xiao Qi. Cui Xi said with a smile.

"Oh, no, no!" Wu Yue shook his hand, "There are more people in my family who can't get on the boat, and I will watch it from the shore with them at that time, so you can stay on the boat honestly, someone has to come back and tell me in detail about what happened recently!"

The three of them didn't speak for a while, and after a while, they heard Yan Qi say "yes", so they all looked at her, "Go and ask Governor Qiao for a favor." Yan Qidao, "He is the only one in his family, and he can bring nine more people." ”

"That's right!" Wu Yue clapped his hands happily, Lu Rong also pursed his lips and laughed in relief, Cui Xi only looked at Yan Qi with a smile.

"Master Qiao is still playing a single, no wife and no children at home, it's just great!" Wu Yue said happily.

……

"Ha-chirp-" Qiao Lezi, the prefect of Qiao's mansion, shook his head, sneezed loudly, rubbed his itchy nose, and continued to make arrangements for his subordinates, "Ming'er's security along the lake is the top priority, so according to the division of the party, each class guards its own jurisdiction, but anyone who provokes trouble will be tied up and escorted back to the yamen first! The saint will go to the lake tomorrow to watch the boat, and there must be no negligence, otherwise don't talk about your rice bowl, even this black yarn of the lord and mine, I'm afraid it will be lost overnight! Therefore, you all have to keep an eye on me!" Until the Holy Lord's return to the palace and the grand meeting is over, there must not be the slightest relaxation!

"Yes, my lord!" the officials of the Taiping Mansion responded in unison.

When I returned to the back office from the front hall, as soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw my little maid running up to report: "...... There are three young ladies and a young master, who are waiting for you in the flower hall......"

Huh? Who is this? Lao Tzu's Houya has always been deserted, and there is not a single female mosquito, where did the three young ladies come from today? Qiao Lezi automatically filtered "a young master".

Walking quickly in the direction of the flower hall, I saw a fleshy little fat man from a distance.

, why is this little fat girl! What about Yan Zike? Won't Yan Da Neuropathy also follow?! Qiao Lezi quickly dodged behind a big plantain and cautiously looked into the flower hall.

"Don't hide, see your head. I heard the little fat man in the flower hall rushing to this box.

...... "Paralysing Lao Tzu's head is a big obstacle for you?!"

Qiao Lezi had no choice but to walk out from behind the plantain and walked into the flower hall without much energy: "A few young ladies and young masters are here, what are you doing?"

Four, five, six, seven got up and saluted him, and then took the initiative to sit down without treating him as an outsider, and also commanded his little servant to pour him tea, Qiao Lezi couldn't help but look around suspiciously: Is this my family right?

"My lord, you will also go to watch the dragon boat race tomorrow, right?" Wu Yue couldn't wait to get to the point.

"Hmm. Qiao Lezi said concisely and concisely with the attitude of "I don't speak, I will quietly watch you be demons".

"Who are you going to take with you?" Wu Yue tacted.

...... "Paralyzed, did you deliberately form a group to come to the door to mock Lao Tzu's identity as a single dog?!

"Nobody. Qiao Lezi said dryly.

Five, six, and seven glanced at each other with delight.

Qiao Lezi came from the sorrow: Seeing that Lao Tzu can't get rid of the single, you are so happy to run to the big Puben, right? What about your parents? Ask them to come to see me! Except for the parents of the little fat man!

"That'...... Then let's discuss," Wu Yueqiang said excitedly, "Tomorrow...... Can you take me there?"

- Kouhu - what's the situation?!This little girl can't be- wouldn't she?!

Qiao Lezi's big head is all right: It's terrible! If you let Wu Changdao know that you won't screw his big head directly! He really didn't think that he had done anything that would win the heart of the little Lori! Does this girl usually lack father's love? At a young age, she can even hint at it, and the current child is really precocious! This kind of beautiful mistake that Fang Xin mistook really made him feel very sorry, he really didn't want to, but he had to cruelly refuse this little girl......

Wu Yue whispered to Yan Qi worriedly: "Master Qiao didn't agree immediately, can't this matter be done?"

"It feels like he's thinking about a lot of things in a flash. "Yan Qidao.

"Ahem, that," Qiao Lezi stared at the cup in his hand without sidelines, "There are still many things to do in this mansion tomorrow, the security of the city, the order of the people, the safety of the emperor and hundreds of officials, etc., etc., I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of anything else, so ......what about it?"

"Forget it," Wu Yue got up happily, "Excuse me, Lord Qiao, let's go." ”

A few people got up and saluted and walked out, and as they walked, they whispered: "No wonder Master Qiao can't marry a daughter-in-law......

"......" Qiao Lezi's blue tendons burst on his forehead, "Give me all back!"

……

As soon as Yan Qi entered the door, he saw a group of people who went out to buy carrying several large baskets of peach willows, sunflowers, pu leaves, Buddha Dao Ai in, a housekeeper stood on the passionflower stone rocks outside the weeping flower door and commanded people from all over the house to come and receive things, arranging this batch to weave wormwood, that group to make spiritual runes, and then another to make sachets, and another to pick orchid grass, wash mushroom leaves, divide medicinal materials, catch turtles, and carry toads, the gate was like a vegetable market for a while, people came and went, and the tense and lively atmosphere under the big festival was noisy.

After returning to the summer residence, I heard that her uncle Yan Zike had come early, and was waiting for someone to come back in the dining hall to start the meal, Yan Qi went to say hello first, and then went back to the room to change clothes, and then returned to the hall when the young master Yan Jiu had also arrived, and was chatting with his uncle about something, "Only the most holy in the world is to be wise and wise, enough to have a presence, generous and gentle, enough to be tolerant, strong and resolute, enough to be persistent, Qi Zhuang Zhongzheng, enough to be respectful, and to be careful in literature and science, enough to be different" and so on.

Yan Qi walked over and sat down next to him, looking like "Your Martian native language sounds so powerful".

"Good. Her uncle praised her brother and said to her, "Eat." ”

Our native language is better.

Today's dinner is the American vinegar mutton lactose fish, perilla shrimp and onion splashed rabbit, and the vegetarian dishes include green vegetables and chestnut meat roasted ginkgo seeds, impatiens stalk stewed tofu, and another Yunyang soup made of egg white with shredded meat and seaweed.

"Are you late to come back?" Yan Zike remembered to ask Yan Qi when he was eating.

"I went to Master Joe's house. "Yan Qidao, tell me the ins and outs," Lord Qiao finally agreed to take Ah Yue on the official ship. ”

"Oh. Yan Zi replied and ate a few chopsticks impatiens, "I'm going to be on the emperor's ship tomorrow, and I can't accompany you." "I looked at Young Master Yan Jiu," everyone. ”

Young Master Yan Jiu: "......"

"Well, you and the emperor have a good time. "Yan Qidao.

"You take a branch and take the place of Lord Joe. Yan Zi Ke said, looking at Young Master Yan Jiu, "There is also Xiao Jiu." ”

9. With Gifts: Yan: "......"

"Is the bow you use today?" the topic of his uncle has turned to a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

"The bow of the academy, I think it has been a little damp over time, and it is a little deformed, but it is not too hindered. "Yan Qidao.

"I'll give you a new bow. Swallow said.

"No, Yuan Chang said to give me a bow made by his master's hand. ”

"Oh. Yan Zike put down the chopsticks, drank the soup from the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief after putting it down, said "eat slowly", got up and left.

How can you say that you can just go?!Boiling Yu was stunned beside her, after so many years in the mansion, she still couldn't get used to the old man's style of saying that the wind was like a heavy rainstorm.

Get up early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the yard is lively, boiling rain and cooking clouds and boiling wind and soaking the moon with a few little girls are busy inserting mugwort leaves, mugwort flags, and pujian on the doors of each room in the summer residence, and a few mothers-in-law are holding the water room with mugwort leaves, calamus, and garlic to burn the front and back of the house, Yan Qi stood at the window, and the boiling rain outside said: "Go to the front and ask about the red pottery, and wear a tiger's belly pocket for Xiao Jiu." ”

Boiling Yu laughed when he heard this: "The ninth master is already an adult, and he will not wear a belly pocket for children to ward off evil spirits!"

"Ahh Yan Qidao, "Then I'll replace it too." ”

Maids: "......"

Boiling rain and cooking clouds came in to serve Yan Qilan Tang to bathe, dress and comb her hair, and for a while, a mother-in-law spoke outside the door: "The old lady gave the longevity wisp and the peach pomegranate kui worm, and asked the brothers and sisters to tie their arms and insert bottles of poisonous gas, and there are pomegranate flowers used to plug the sisters, red spirit talismans and cinnabar bags to wear...... The eldest lady gave the five poisonous sachets and the black hair oil incense ......"

Anyway, it's some evil and poisonous things, and it's like this every year, Yan Qi just takes care of being the shopkeeper, and the things that should be collected, put up, and hang are all handed over to a few girls to worry about.

Breakfast is the traditional food of the Dragon Boat Festival such as zongzi, rose cake and five poison cakes, the big kitchen in the house also sent cherries, mulberries, water chestnuts, peaches and apricots, eat and drink enough, step out of the door, the green carp is shouting under the corridor, it turned out to be a single garlic hanging on the door to smoke it, and there are tigers, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders and other five poisonous things made of colored silk, grass and so on are connected to the big wormwood leaves, hanging on the door, it is said that those snakes adopted by Young Master Yan Jiu only entered May and hid in the tank and refused to show their heads.

The ancients celebrated the festival really interesting, Yan Qi sighed several times a year after wearing it, and until now this novelty has not passed.

But isn't it, in the last life, she lived in such a place, and she only remembered a hundred years of loneliness, but it was difficult to get close to prosperity.
