Chapter One Thousand and Thirteen
The recent days have been comfortable and peaceful, Xiao'er is quite unaccustomed, and she always feels a sense of depression before the storm.
It's been so many days since the last mad dog incident, and there is no further action from the people in the shadows, Xiao'er feels that instead of waiting for the unknown danger to arrive, it is better to take the initiative to expose it and let the enemy take advantage of it.
She prefers to take the initiative rather than wait like this!
In the evening, the two sat down to eat together, and Xiao'er said to Shangguan Xuanyi: "Brother Shangguan is going to watch the dragon boat race tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I'll watch it with you tomorrow. Shangguan Xuanyi nodded, and at the same time took a chopstick dish and put it in Xiao'er's bowl.
"I'm going to go by myself. Xiao'er said her purpose.
Shangguan Xuanyi naturally disagreed after hearing this: "No! I'll go with you." ”
"But I think if you were around, that person might not do it!" "That person is not stupid, he knows that the odds are not good, why should he startle the snake!"
"I'll go with you, and then I'll leave first and watch in the shadows when I have the chance. "The dragon boat race on both sides of the Huaijiang River will definitely be crowded, the more people there are, the easier it is to have accidents, how can Shangguan Xuanyi let Xiao'er go on an adventure by himself.
Xiao'er thought about it and nodded.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shangguan Xuanyi took Xiao'er to watch the dragon boat race, accompanied by Brother Ri, Yun'er, Jing Hao, Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu.
The only people Xiao'er is familiar with in this year's dragon boat race, Shangguan Xuanhao and Shangguan Xuanjun participated in the competition, and the others are people who know each other but don't have much contact.
This time, neither the Queen Mother nor the Empress came out to watch the game.
As always, today the banks of the Huaijiang River are densely packed with black human heads.
The two stood in the middle of the bridge, and Shangguan Xuanyi stood half a step behind Xiao'er, holding an umbrella for her. Xiao'er leaned on the guardrail and watched the dragon boats on the river, scrambling to glide towards the finish line under the competitors waving their arms vigorously.
People on both sides of the strait were in a roar, and the voices of cheering came and went.
"Watching other people's games is not as exciting as watching the game yourself!" Xiao'er couldn't help but sigh. Maybe she has participated in it herself and knows the fun, but just watching from the bridge like this, Xiao'er always feels a little less passionate.
But it seems that no one else feels like her, and everyone is interested in it.
"Yes!" Shangguan Wanru stood beside Xiao'er, hearing this, she remembered the situation when several of their women participated in the dragon boat race, the days at that time were really beautiful, carefree, and youthful!
"The best dragon boat race I've ever seen is the year my sister participated!" Xi'er sighed in Xiao'er's tone.
"You were still young at the time, do you remember?" Brother Ri'er asked amusefully when he saw Xi'er speaking in the tone of a little adult.
"Of course, I have a good memory, I remember that my sister and they even won the ......," Ciel told the game in order to prove that she had a good memory.
So everyone, you and I began to think about the topic of the year.
......
"In fact, women can also participate in the dragon boat race next year, and women will compare with women, and men will compare with men, which will definitely be much more exciting!" Fu Ranhui put forward an opinion.
"That's a good idea, maybe we can organize it. Xiao'er echoed.
Soon the game was over, and Shangguan Xuanjun's team won the first place.
Next, it was the turn of the Yum to organize the dragon boat race.
People on both sides of the strait have cheered for people they know.
The sun is getting bigger and bigger, Xiao'er glanced at the people on the bridge, there are a lot of guards, how can people do it to themselves?
She didn't plan to look any further, and then said to Yun'er: "The sun is too big, I'll go back first, you can continue to watch!"
Everyone else wanted to continue watching, so they nodded.
Shangguan Wanru was not in the mood to look at it, she saw that Xiao'er was leaving, so she said: "I'm also leaving, Zhuan'er is still in the house, I'm worried that he will cry if he leaves me for too long." ”
Xiao'er nodded, and the three of them walked off the bridge, and the guards opened a path, and they walked towards the place where the carriage was parked.
Next to the carriage, Zhao Yong came to their side and said to Shangguan Xuanyi: "Master, the emperor has something to summon you into the palace." ”
Shangguan Xuanyi heard this and said to Xiao'er: "Girl, do you want to enter the palace with me?"
"No, I still have something to do, I'll enter the palace in the afternoon. Xiao'er shook her head.
"Okay, then you try to be as early as possible, and you will have dinner with your father and queen mother in the palace tonight. Shangguan Xuanyi explained two more careful words to her, and then rode away by himself.
After Shangguan Wanru saw Shangguan Xuanyi leaving, she said, "Xiao'er, I'll share a carriage with you, just so we can talk." ”
Xiao'er came out with a mission, if Shangguan Wanru was by her side, what if there was any accident and hurt her, Xiao'er naturally couldn't agree.
But you also have to see if Shangguan Wanru has something to find herself: "Does the county lord have anything to say to me?"
Xiao'er's words made Shangguan Wanru's heart beat half a beat faster: Why did Xiao'er ask this? Could it be that she already knew? No, this is impossible, if there is no booklet for the flute, absolutely no one can understand it, and that person will not let Xiao'er know, Xiao'er should be concerned about herself, worried about what she needs her help with.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't promise that person to use Xiao'er's blood, how could she feel a little weak-hearted?
Shangguan Wanru eased her mind and shook her head: "No, I just feel a little stuffy when I ride the carriage alone, and I can still talk when I go back to the city with you." ”
When Xiao'er heard this, she said, "But I still have to go to my fourth aunt's shop to discuss business matters with her, and I won't go home, so we won't be on the way." ”
Shangguan Wanru knew that Xiao'er's fourth uncle had a restaurant on the bank of the Huaijiang River, and they had eaten there before, but Shangguan Wanru wanted to take the opportunity to ask Xiao'er about high-quality food, so she said: "Why don't I accompany you to see Aunt Shen, I have eaten with her before, and I haven't seen her for a few years." ”
Xiao'er was slightly surprised when she heard this, and then she was depressed, what she said just now was just an excuse! Her real purpose was to be alone, so as to lure the snake out of the hole, and Shangguan Wanru was inconvenient by her side.
So Xiao'er said again: "Isn't the county lord worried that Zhuan'er will cry and rush back to the mansion?" The child is still young, and crying for a long time is not good for health, you can take Zhuan'er in two days, and I will take you to see my fourth aunt again!"
"It's okay, cry once in a while, didn't you say you can practice that lung capacity?"
"....... "How can Xiao'er feel like she is moving a stone to hit her own feet!"
