Chang'an City in summer is a little more lazy, the sun is hot, the thin clothes are swaying, and the walking has become lazy, but as the Dragon Boat Festival is getting closer and closer, the atmosphere in the city is like a wicker after a rain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

“... I want to eat zongzi..."

Nuan Nuan sat in the courtyard wrapped in zongzi while answering Xue Qing's inquiry.

"What else?" Xue Qing asked, she didn't start making zongzi, because the gentleman is far away from cooking, and as a boy, he doesn't do these things, although she doesn't agree with this concept.

“... Eat white balls.. Dough: Fragrant candy..."Nuan Nuan reported in one breath, while her saliva flowed.

Xue Qing smiled and patted her head with a dumpling leaf.

"Except for eating. She asked.

"Dragon boat racing. The voice of the cicada came from outside.

Xue Qing looked at the girl at the gate of the courtyard and waved with a smile.

Cicada Yi came in with a plate of corner dumplings.

"My mother just steamed it. She said.

Nuan Nuan didn't care about making zongzi and hurriedly brought them over to eat, of course, she didn't forget to peel one for Xue Qing.

"It's going to be very lively, and everyone is going to see it. Cicada Yi continued, "It's not far from your academy. ”

There is a small river at the foot of Liudaoquan Mountain, into which the spring water flows, and the small river meanders into a large river, which diverts water into a canal to feed the farmland around Chang'an City.

Xue Qing nodded.

"Then I'm going to see it. She said.

"Aoko, aren't you going to participate in the Keju Tournament?" Cicada said, "It's starting tomorrow, are you ready?"

The Keju Race of Zhang Liantang Changle Club was held the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, but compared to the Dragon Boat Race, these children's races are not so eye-catching, just as a warm-up for the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the location is also by the river of the Dragon Boat Race.

Keju is played by adults and children, but it was not long before the young people competed, originally there was a prefect's young master who loved Keju, and the local wealthy family in order to make good friends with the prefect, let some young children of the family accompany him to play Keju, and later the prefect and the young master left with the transfer of the prefect, and the teenagers played Keju has been maintained, and gradually became a way for young people in Chang'an City to make friends, especially the establishment of a special Keju Society, so that in addition to social study classmates, poetry club companions, young people also have an additional relationship.

Chang'an City has the four major clans of Pei, Zhang, Wang and Liu, the imperial relatives and relatives of Wencheng and Wugui, and the relationship is also complicated, and the interests are divided and combined.

The first to establish the Keju Society was the children of the Liu family of Wangxian Bridge, known as the Wuling Society, which gathered a group of children who had a close relationship with the Liu family.

"Wuling is young in the east of the golden city, and the silver saddle and white horse spend the spring breeze. Xue Qing said.

Cicada looked at her in surprise.

"Qingzi, are you composing poetry?" she was surprised in her eyes, "I will be composing poetry in the next few days of school." ”

Xue Qing smiled.

This should be Li Bai's poem. She said.

Although there are many differences, some celebrities still appear, such as Li Bai, who is still a poet here, but although Wuling is here, Chang'an is not such a famous Chang'an, and she doesn't know whether Li Bai made this poem or not, because there are too many books to read, and she has no time or interest in poetry.

Li Bai is really famous, and he knows it even if he hasn't read the book, so he read Xue Qing's poem again.

"That's how it came about. She said, "Qingzi, you really know a lot when you read." ”

Of course, this is not something that can be understood by reading books in the past few days, Xue Qing smiled.

"What about Young Master Liantang's Changle Society?"

"This, it's about contentment, or happiness in Chang'an City. Xue Qing said with a smile.

This sentence is better understood, it is a common saying.

"It's not as imposing as Wuling Society. She was a little disappointed.

Xue Qing put the last bite of zongzi into his mouth and licked his fingers.

"It's not like that. She said, "The vulgar is also elegant, and it is also more imposing." ”

The Wuling Society of the Liu family, just like its name, takes the high-end route, and most of its members are the children of nobles, and the non-four major families and eight families do not accept it, and the barrier formed by the status of the identity is insurmountable, and they can only look up.

But Zhang Liantang's Changle Club is different, although Zhang Liantang is from the Zhang family, but he likes to socialize with the nouveau riche and even the children of the commoners, which is quite a bit of a princely general Xiangning has a kind of taste.

Although it's just teenagers juju and having fun, there is also a hidden meaning underneath, revealing the choice and confrontation of each family.

Life is not easy anywhere, but fortunately she is just a bystander, just watch quietly and follow the stream.

Xue Qing wiped his sticky hands that had eaten zongzi and stood up.

"It's time for me to go and practice. She said, "Do you want to learn together?"

Cicada Yi covered his mouth and smiled.

"I will learn whatever you learn. She said.

"It's always good to learn more. Xue Qingdao smiled again, ".. But it's nothing if you don't learn anything. ”

She waved her hand and walked out.

Cicada Yi looked at her back with her face in her hands.

"Xue Qing really worked hard. She sighed, "It's not ugly... Why doesn't Miss Guo like it..."

It's always embarrassing for girls to say that they like boys.

Her face couldn't help but turn red, and she turned her head a little embarrassed to see Nuan Nuan on the side, and belched.

"You've eaten everything, be careful of your stomachache..."

"It's delicious... I didn't finish eating, I left it for the young master and aunt..."

..........

On the fourth day of the first month of May, it was dark, Xue Qing opened his eyes and got up as usual, but instead of putting on his usual long shirt, he put on the clothes of the Keju Society.

"Be careful. Xue Mu followed the advice that she didn't listen to all the way, "Don't bump into it, don't touch it, avoid people and avoid the ball." ”

Xue Qing laughed when he heard it, but before he could speak, there was a snort from the door.

"What kind of kick is that? ”

Xue Qing and Xue Mu looked and saw Guo Zi'an hiding in the morning mist against the corner of the wall.... The boy was waiting for her to come with him.

"Young Master Zi'an, please take care of Qingzi. Xue Mu said in a low voice.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm a substitute, not necessarily on the field. Xue Qing smiled and patted her arm, "I'll go." ”

After that, he walked to Guo Zi'an's side.

"Let's go. ”

Guo Zi'an sneered and didn't move.

"Let's go. He said, "I didn't wait for you, I waited for Ziqian." ”

Okay, Xue Qing shrugged his shoulders and strode away without speaking, and the sound of running footsteps sounded in the street.

Xue Mu looked at Guo Zi'an who was standing in place, and wanted to say a few more good words, but Guo Zi'an had already turned his head, and Xue Mu went in, leaving Guo Zi'an alone in front of the door.

.......

The morning dawn in summer, perhaps there are more people on the street near the Dragon Boat Festival, and the blacksmith shop is still busy, like a steamer in summer.

Xue Qing even felt that this blacksmith didn't rest all day long, she ran in front of the blacksmith shop, and soon came to the fish seller's side.

"Auntie—" This time the woman who did not wait for the fish seller to speak, she took the initiative to say hello.

The woman who sold the fish babbled.

"Don't call someone else's aunt." She said, "It's called big sister." ”

Women in ancient and modern times are the same, Xue Qing smiled.

"Eldest sister, I'm going to participate in the Keju Tournament today. She said, "Come and see." ”

Xue Qing participated in the Keju incident, and the Guo family didn't know much, and she didn't want to tell them, but she didn't know why she wanted to tell this woman.

It's probably because I'm still a little proud in my heart, and I'm more open to familiar strangers.

The fish-selling woman babbled again.

"Okay. She said, "Little brother, if you win, you should buy more of my fish." ”

Xue Qing waved his hand and ran away, leaving the city to slow down, although he didn't know if he would play today, but it was always right to save his strength and get ready.

This was her first social activity in ancient times, just like joining a club when she was in school, Xue Qing's eyes overflowed with a smile, and she walked slowly towards the location of the Keju competition.

The sky was already bright, and the Guo family had become a little noisy.

"Mother, hurry up, it's too late to get a good place. Guo Baoer urged.

Mrs. Guo put a hairpin on her sideburns and walked out.

"What's the hurry, and there aren't many people watching, how can there be no place. She laughed.

This is just a teenager to play, in the city is not a big event, and it is not a kind of juju that plays skills in vain, so it is not like the dragon boat race that attracts the whole city to watch, but the family and friends of the participating teenagers, as well as some women who love to juju, or take advantage of the festival to go out and walk around.

Although there are Guo Zi'an and Guo Ziqian, Guo Baoer didn't go to see it before, and he disliked a group of people chasing Keju and running was stupid and boring.

"Why do you want to go to Zi'an and cheer them on this time?" asked Mrs. Guo, pulling Guo Bao'er out of the house, and the maids and servants in the courtyard were gushing like water.

"I'm going to see that leper dog make a fool of himself. Guo Baoer snorted.

Mrs. Guo babbled, only then did she know that Xue Qing had also participated in the juju.

"It's Zi'an's arrangement again?" she frowned slightly, "Don't mess around." ”

Having said that, there is not much blame in his demeanor and tone, there is nothing to blame.
