Chapter 2424: Slip of the tongue
I still feel that my husband gave away the throne back then, which was a grace to the Murong family, not to mention my son?
At the end of the day, that's where the source lies. www.biquge.info Seven years have passed, and Chu Zhaohui still regards himself as the eldest princess in his heart, on an equal footing with the queen's sister, and has never faced up to his identity as a courtier.
Without the protection of her husband, she turned out to be the lady of the house, who didn't know anything, and sincerely wanted to mediate for her son and niece.
The yellow rice, red dates, and honey dumplings on that day were the niece's generous gestures to herself, Chu Zhaohui took the olive branch, and took the previous stroke with her, and the past few days have been somewhat reborn.
After concentrating on his thoughts, Chu Zhaohui refocused his gaze on the lake, only to see that Lord Taishou had already finished dotting the dragon's eyes with thick ink, and there were thunderous cheers on both sides.
After the sound of drums, the nine dragon boats were concurrent, and the painted dragon heads were particularly eye-catching. The long and narrow body of the boat is pointed, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, sliding the surface of Taihu Lake in a beautiful straight line, stirring up white waves, causing another burst of cheers on the shore.
Xia Yuzhi was heroic, standing on the bow of the boat and beating drums to cheer. Su Duhan was elegant and calm, shouting the trumpet and paddling the head oars, and the oarsmen of the same boat cooperated tacitly and evenly exerted force, their dragon boat was light and fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was half a body ahead of the other dragon boats.
Murong Wei and Xia Lanxin each have clairvoyance, and the grand scene on the lake is like in front of them.
The two looked out from the curtain that was lifted, and saw Xia Yuzhi's long body standing upright, his arms rounded, and the drum beat was thick and even, and the momentum was magnificent. Su Duhan, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, waved the oars, not arrogant or impatient, their dragon boat was the most eye-catching in the entire team.
With the sound of the trumpets of everyone on the boat and the deafening drums of Xia Yuzhi, their dragon boats became more and more courageous, and they took the lead in crossing the middle line.
The other dragon boats naturally refused to show weakness, and the dense drum beat urged, and the oarsmen worked together, and one of the dragon boats actually accelerated the pace, chased after them closely, and gradually equalized with them.
The speed of the dragon boat rowing was fast and powerful, and there was a tendency to catch up. Xia Lanxin stood up in a hurry, leaned out of the window, and stomped her feet heavily, annoyed that she couldn't help her brother.
Su Duhan was still calm and maintained a calm and measured mood. He patiently shouted the trumpet, quickened his row, and left the boat behind him.
On the two bows, one hung red silk and the other hung yellow silk, both of which were particularly eye-catching. The yellow and red dragon boats chased the lake like a see-saw, leaving the rest of the dragon boats far behind.
There are still twenty or thirty meters away from the finish line, Xia Yuzhi's drumming is more powerful, Su Dushi shouted the trumpet again, everyone worked together, and accelerated the frequency of the oars, and the advantage was established in the blink of an eye.
The team on the boat next to him had already fought to the extreme, and the boat pulp could no longer increase its strength, so it could only watch Su Duhan's boat rush away, and finally led the second dragon boat by a full position, and crossed the finish line steadily.
This year's dragon boat race is particularly beautiful, just two dragon boats chasing each other, there is a great tendency to ride the wind and waves.
The audience on the shore applauded and cheered thunderously. Xia Yuzhi's drumming and Su Duhan's orders were both impressive, and everyone quickly focused on the two people who had never shown up before.
The prefect sat in the stands, and his heart just followed the chase of the two dragon boats, and he was anxious several times. It was only when the dragon boat wearing red silk won the championship that he put down the big stone in his heart, and with a smile, he ordered someone to pick up Su Duhan to come up and lift the red silk.
Knowing that today's distinguished guests are gone, the color of the dragon boat race has also increased several times compared with previous years, and it is the jewelry shop of the Liang family, the richest man in Wuxi, which is in the spotlight today.
The string of 99 beads is all the best Taihu Lake pearls, which are large and round, and the color is pure and naturally bright. Su Duhan unveiled the red silk amid the cheers of waves on both sides of the strait, lifted the tray high, and signaled to everyone.
The huge pearls on the plate are uniform in size and crystal clear, which immediately aroused a burst of admiration.
After taking the pearl, Su Duhan raised a smile like broken gold, waved to the people around him, and waved in the direction of the official ship from a distance.
Xia Lanxin leaned out of the window and watched Su Duhan take a string of pearls. Because it was far away, he couldn't see the color, but he knew that it must be a treasure, so he asked Murong Wei with a fan cover, "Who is Twilight Han waving to?"
Before she could say a word, without waiting for Murong Wei to answer, Xia Lanxin was shocked to realize that she had made a mistake, and her words were a little out of place.
Putting aside the elders sitting down, Murong Wei is not the usual Murong Wei, and Su Duhan is not like Su Duhan earlier, the two are already far away from each other, and they are no longer the two little guesses in the past.
Talking and arguing all the way, it is not a quarrel of children's intentions, but each for its own interests. To this day, Mrs. Anguo is still caught in the middle, and she has become a pot that she doesn't open to mention.
Rashly apologizing would only want to cover it up, Xia Lanxin got up generously, picked up a snow-white bone-in abalone snail from the box on the table, and handed it to Murong Wei's mouth with a handkerchief.
By saying hello to Chu Zhaohui, Xia Lanxin covered up her mistake: "Madam, Du Han and the third brother won the championship, and they also took the lottery, and they are waving towards our boat." ”
Murong Wei had a snail in her mouth, and the corners of her mouth were always smiling, as if she didn't care about Xia Lanxin's ridicule and turnaround. She handed the clairvoyance to the little girl, got up and sat down and walked in front of Wen Wan to eat tea. Gently and softly, she didn't mention anything about Fang Cai, and poured her half a bowl of freshly brewed maple dew tea.
In the colorful shed set up by the Wuxi Taishou family, several local ladies with heads and faces are sitting with the ladies in the family, and they are hugging Mrs. Taishou and Miss Wu to watch the dragon boat, including Miss Liang Jinguan, the richest man in Wuxi.
This year's dragon boat has one more, which is already eye-catching, but who knows that the one who won the championship is one more.
Just now reflecting the sun, Su Duhan smiled brightly, and someone had already knocked on the side, holding Miss Wu to ask who these two distant sons were, and what their origins were.
Miss Wu doesn't pay attention to the looks of the two, and her heart only lingers on their identities. I do have some plans in my heart, but I am undecided for a while, and it is not good to speak to my parents.
Fang Cai was watching the dragon boat, but his heart was up and down, and he was really uncomfortable.
My father is over half a hundred years old, and he has no hope of promotion, and he will die here for the rest of his life. The elder brother has been in the Jinshi for a few years, which is a happy event, but because he has not been able to make up for the shortcomings, he has become depressed. Fortunately, my sister-in-law is virtuous and never cold-eyed, but always explains.
