Many willows are planted on both sides of the Cao Canal, and at this time they have already given birth to emerald green leaves, and the branches hang down, like strips of silk, swaying in the wind.

The Du family didn't come early, and there were already a number of pleasure boats on the river, but they didn't stop in the middle of the river, and they leaned against the bank, which was used for dragon boat racing. Du Ruo helped the old lady to the deck, looked up, and saw that a pavilion in the east was not as bustling as other sections, it was crowded with people, it was very empty, and you could vaguely see soldiers wearing official uniforms, standing straight on the shore.

The people sitting in the middle should be Zhao Jian and the others.

The old lady said to Xie: "This canal is wider than I imagined, maybe several big ships can easily pass guò, it is really good, and there is no delay in transporting grain." She paused, "And who is the chief military officer of our Dayan Caoyun Mansion now?" They were all new to the post, and I don't even remember. ”

Xie Shi smiled: "It's Jiang Baoci Lord Jiang, in Qindu, we met Madame Jiang for the first time, she praised the Bodhi Zi you wear, Madame Jiang is a believer." ”

"You have a good memory!" The old lady's eyes were gentle, "As soon as you say this, I will remember," she turned her head to look at Liu, "You were there that day, why didn't you say a word?" It's just like I remember. ”

Liu was speechless.

Two daughters-in-law, one heaven and one earth, and the second room has Liu as the housewife, how can they hold it up? The old lady really didn't like her being on the stage like this, so she didn't look at her much, and walked forward holding Xie's hand. Liu Shi only felt that his cheeks were hot, and when he saw Du Rong, Du Ying was behind him, and said busily: "You take care of the old lady, I'll go and see if they can prepare tea, and they brought a lot of food today." ”

Du Ying pursed her lips and did not speak.

"Mother go first, I'll help you later." Du Rong's tone was brisk.

When Liu saw Du Rong, his heart was settled, and he turned around and left with a smile.

Du Ying coughed again, and Du Rong hurriedly pulled her to the cabin: "Grandmother is afraid that you will be bored at home, so I have to let you come, but I don't think it's better not to come, what if it freezes?" ”

"It's okay, don't you do this often at home?" Du Ying smiled, she looked through the wooden hatch carved with four seasons peonies, saw Du Ling and Zhang Fengyi also walked on the deck, and said, "If you are worried about me, just stay here with me, I am afraid I will not be able to go outside again." ”

"Okay." Du Rong agreed.

The two sisters were laughing in the cabin.

Du Ruo was still on the deck, and when he saw Du Ling and Zhang Fengyi coming, he stared at Zhang Fengyi, only to see that he was very respectful to the old lady, Xie Shi's greeting, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, he restrained the ruffian spirit all over his body, and stood beside Du Ling after greeting him, even his feet were upright.

Compared with the two of them on weekdays, the old lady took a look at it and said with a smile: "Your father and Yun Yan have a friendship with the robe, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Hearing this, Du Ling couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Zhang Fengyi would still be restrained? He couldn't help but look at Zhang Fengyi, who expected him to be really well-behaved, more like the younger of the Du family than him, so he was a little puzzled, suspecting that he was drunk just now.

But his wine shouldn't be that good!

The old lady stood on the deck for a while and was about to go in, Du Ruo was always the old lady's little tail at such times, but before she could enter the cabin, a girl on the boat opposite called her name affectionately.

When she looked back, it turned out to be Zhou Huizhao.

Zhou Huizhao leaned on the fence on the deck and beckoned to her: "Ruoruo, I didn't expect it to be you, I was thinking just now, will I meet you, we just happened to watch the dragon boat together, you come over quickly, I will ask someone to take the wooden bridge." ”

Du Ruo was a little hesitant, but the old lady had already heard it: "You and Hui Zhao are like sisters, since she graciously invited, let's go." ”

Zhou Huizhao did invite her at the beginning, and it was a little bad if she didn't go.

Xie Shi knew that she wanted to accompany her family, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's not difficult to build a bridge between the boats, you go to her first, wait for a while, and then invite her to come to our boat, isn't it interesting to walk around on both sides?" You little girls are hard to come out, don't you just want to have fun? ”

Mother is always very thoughtful, Du Ruo nodded again and again: "Okay, then I'll go." ”

Du Rong wanted to accompany Du Ying, and she was always in the cabin, but Du Xiu followed her: "I'll be with you," she walked to the deck and smiled at Zhou Huizhao, "Presumably Sister Zhou won't mind?" ”

Zhou Huizhao has always been easy to talk to, how could he refuse.

The two of them stepped on the wooden bridge and crossed.

Seeing that the dragon boat race was about to start, Zhou Huizhao said with a smile: "The boatman we invited has already looked at the location early in the morning, and said that when he went there, he saw the dragon boat most clearly." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the boat quickly went out and did not stop until it was near the nine dragon boats.

It was really a good place, Du Ruo smiled, "It seems that I didn't come to your boat in vain." She raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and could even see that the people in the pavilion were wearing robes, in addition to the golden and dazzling dragon robe, she also saw a cloud of darkness, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, thinking that He Xuan was actually good for wearing it like this.

Wherever he was, he knew it was him when he saw a color of black.

Otherwise, who would use this color on such a holiday? It only makes people think of bad luck.

He Xuan was indeed in the pavilion, he looked at the river absentmindedly, and in his ears was the conversation between Zhao Yu and Zhao Meng, two brothers. The difference between the two princes is two years old, and they are both young and promising, no wonder Zhao Jian is in a dilemma, and he has not established a prince, which makes all the officials have to be careful, watching people put down dishes, for fear of offending anyone, and they can't afford to provoke anyone.

Seeing that the dragon boat had started, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because it is the first time to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival after Dayan Xinli, the dragon boat is made overnight, it is extremely gorgeous, the dragon head is high, the carving is exquisite, even the tail of the dragon has not been relaxed, the paint color is bright, and it shines in the sun. Hearing the sound of gongs and drums, dozens of strong men dressed in various short fights walked from one big boat to nine boats one after another.

Then three gongs and drums shook the sky, the dragon boat race began, the white waves flew flowers, the dragon boat turned into a long snake and floated on the river, you chased me, very nervous.

There was a burst of cheers in the river.

Du Ruoli was standing on the deck, her eyes couldn't be taken off, she had also seen dragon boat races in Jinling when she was young, but who had the leisure and leisure to compare this with the war in the past few years, it was watched after seven years.

Zhou Huizhao and Du Xiu also watched their eyebrows flutter, and when a dragon boat won the championship, they couldn't help cheering.

"It's funny, but it's a pity that it's only once a year." Du Xiu sighed.

"If you really want to watch it more than once a month, you won't be interested in watching it twice more." Du Ruodao, "People say that the fragrance is far away and the smell is near, this is a truth, less fragrance and more smelly, like no matter how beautiful the book is, you can't read it every day, I only have Song Chen's "Looking for Fragrance" written by me five times, and then I can't bear it." ”

Zhou Huizhao smiled: "You are more affectionate than us, I will read the script at most once, and I will be impatient to see the result again." She held Du Ruo's hand, "After watching the dragon boat race, I'll send you back." ”

She told the boatman to turn around.

Who would have thought that after a while, the hull of the boat shook violently, and he couldn't stop, a little girl hurriedly came over and said to Zhou Huizhao: "Girl, the boatman said that he had hit a dangerous shoal, and the bottom of the boat had hit a hole, and there was water to flood up." ”

Ben was about to dock, but this kind of thing happened.

Zhou Huizhao panicked: "How is this good? ”

Du Ruo was also taken aback and asked, "Are you still in time to get to our house?" It's a dangerous beach, and it won't hit so badly, right? ”

But the ship sank straight down.

At this moment, a wooden bridge came up from the deck, Du Ruo was overjoyed, and said to Zhou Huizhao: "There are many boats on the river today, and they will definitely save each other when they see it, you see, this is not a ......."

When she glanced at the figure opposite, the words stopped abruptly.

Seeing that her face changed suddenly, Zhou Huizhao looked over and saw Zhao Yu, she smiled softly: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness, Ruoruo, if he really has a good relationship with you, I borrowed your blessings." ”

What blessings? She doesn't know what will happen in the future, where is Zhao Yu a good person? In the dream, he forcibly occupied Zhou Huizhao. Du Ruo pulled her sleeve: "Let's not go to his boat, men and women don't kiss, let's wait for other boats, isn't it better to have girls from other families?" Sister Zhou, let's wait. ”

But there was a cry of surprise at the bow and stern of the boat, and the water had spread up.

Zhou Huizhao grabbed her: "Ruoruo, hurry up and leave, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you come over, if I knew that I didn't invite you, you wouldn't be frightened." ”

It seems that she can't help but go, Du Ruo followed behind her, only to see that Du Xiu had already stepped on the wooden bridge happily, and she heard her shouting Zhao Yu, Brother Yu.

The boat is getting more and more tilted, and it is a little dangerous to walk on the wooden bridge, Zhou Huizhao held Du Ruo's hand tightly, for fear that she would fall, but when she walked to the deck, her legs were weak, and she didn't stand firmly, and leaned towards the side of the boat, Zhao Yu was next to her, seeing her so weak, she stretched out her hand to help slightly.

didn't touch the skin, and he could detect her slenderness through the sleeves, and he suddenly thought of Du Ying in his mind, this week Huizhao was a little similar to Du Ying, very cute.

But this thought also flashed, and he quickly moved his hand away, wanting to help Du Ruo, but where would Du Ruo let him touch it, and as soon as he reached the deck, he ran away.

When she sees him now, she will always change from a tortoise to a rabbit, looking at her back, Zhao Yu hated her teeth so much that he strode towards her. When Du Ruo saw him coming, he walked into the cabin, but Zhao Yu ignored the rules at this time and walked into the cabin, she thought that this was his boat, where could she escape?

"Ruoruo, I think it's time for us to sit down and have a good talk." Zhao Yu forced her to sit in the corner, his eyes fixed on her face.

After not seeing her for a while, her facial features opened, blooming like flower buds, and slowly revealing bright colors from the green. Although it has not yet bloomed, it is enough to make a man fall in love with it.

Especially now vigilant, dare to be angry but dare not speak, afraid but persistent, the watery eyes hook people want to pull her over and comfort her in her arms.

Zhao Yu said softly: "Don't be afraid, Ruoruo, I just want to talk to you." ”

Du Ruo bit his lip: "That boat, did you get it?" "He must have broken it and waited for the wooden bridge to be built, otherwise how could it be so coincidental? She rebuked, "I didn't expect you to be so mean! ”

"Despicable?" Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Do you really think I made it?" ”

"Who else is it not you?"

Her prejudice against him was so deep, Zhao Yu was a little annoyed: "What did I do wrong, you treat me like this?" ”

Du Ruo closed her lips again.

The two looked at each other, she slowly lowered her eyes, a little flustered, her fingers scraped lightly on the foot under the desk, making a little sound, Zhao Yu felt harsh when she heard it, and her face became more and more heavy.

Du Ruo felt that if he stayed any longer, he would probably pounce on her and grab her.

The scene was extremely weird, and Yuzhu said: "Great, Your Highness, can you let the girl go back to the deck, Miss Zhou, the four girls are looking for her." ”

"Yes, third sister!" Du Xiu ran in and sighed, "It turns out that you are really here, what are you doing with Brother Yu?" ”

was interrupted, Zhao Yu was also very annoyed, and said to Du Xiu: "You go out, I have something to say to her." ”

Unexpectedly rushed people, Du Ruo hurriedly said: "No, fourth sister, don't go, I don't have anything to say to His Royal Highness, I ......" She couldn't sit still, moved her body out, who expected that she had just taken a step and was kicked back by Zhao Yu's black boots, so painful that she almost screamed.

She thought to herself, what should she do!

At this time, the hull shook again, and I don't know whether it was hit or what, but I saw a person walking outside the cabin, as if blocking the sun, standing in the doorway, making the cabin dim.

Du Ruo was overjoyed and shouted, "Brother Xuan! ”

He Xuan said lightly: "Come out quickly, I'll take you back." ”

She seemed to have found a lifesaver, and there was no moment when she walked so fast, and she went straight to him and grabbed him by the sleeve.

When Zhao Yu saw this scene, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say a word.

He Xuan led her to the wooden bridge.

She still tugged at his sleeve tightly for fear of falling, and the wide sleeve was held by her, swaying back and forth, along with the long-lived beads on his wrist.

In the river breeze, a faint and pleasant sound is made.
