When I returned to Taiping Village, it was almost dark. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou saw that the two of them bought a lot of things to make hot pot and came back, so he knew what they meant.

Roll up your sleeves and start preparing to cook the hot pot.

Boil the base material and make a fire for the stove, Shen Qiao watched it with great interest on the side.

She figured out one thing in the county town in the afternoon, although she couldn't cook food herself, but Zhou's would!

Since she can mention the big lady who sells oil cakes, she can also mention Zhou!

Anyway, she has a lot of things in her head, and when the time Zhou said is over at the end of this year, their mother and daughter will go to the county to rent a shop together, and they will be able to live.

Therefore, in the next half a year, she still tried to learn as much as possible, and she could also help Zhou Zhou when the time came.

A hot pot is very enjoyable, although it is not as good as the modern taste, but the dishes are very fresh and very delicious.

After Shen Qiao drank a large pot of plum wine, he went back to his room to sleep groggily.

The days passed like this, and Gu Xuan lived well here, and he didn't want to go back at all.

Zhou said to the outside world that Gu Xuan was her distant nephew, and he came to Qianxian to play, and lived in his house for a while.

No one in the village knew where Zhou's hometown was, so no one doubted Gu Xuan's identity.

Shen Laosan's cemetery was also repaired, and the Zhou family and Shen Qiao's mother and daughter were completely idle.

The clock was fast into May.

The fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

Early in the morning, Zhou cooked the rice dumplings and salted eggs that had already been wrapped, and asked Gu Xuan and Ah Wang to make glutinous rice cakes.

After breakfast, Zhou took Shen Qiao to the next door to deliver food.

Of course, when I came back, I also brought some food from Aunt Lin back.

"Auntie, Qiaoqiao, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, why don't we go to the town to watch dragon boating! At this time, you can still see the excitement! ”

Gu Xuan proposed.

Zhou looked at Shen Qiao and saw that she had no objection, so he also nodded and agreed.

So the four locked the door and rode to the town.

When they arrived, it was not yet noon, Gu Xuan asked Ngawang to find a place to put the carriage in order, and then took the mother and daughter to a restaurant.

Yunlai Restaurant.

It is the largest restaurant in Qianxian County, built next to the river, and the whole process of dragon boat rowing can be clearly seen in the restaurant for a while.

Therefore, there are a lot of people in Yunlai Restaurant on this day, and many people can't book a place.

When Shen Qiao saw Gu Xuan's calm look, he knew that this product must have asked Ah Wang to settle the position a few days ago, and it was not his temporary proposal to come out today, but it had been thought about a long time ago.

"Ah Xuan, the business here is so good, this private room must be very expensive!"

Zhou sat in the private room, looking at the beautiful scenery outside, and said a little worriedly.

"Auntie, I've been living in your house for almost a month, please come out and enjoy a dragon boat, where is it expensive."

Gu Xuan said with a smile.

These days, everyone is familiar with each other, and Aunt Zhou is not called Gu Gongzi, but Ah Xuan, obviously, Gu Xuan also likes this title very much.

"Mother, don't save for him, he eats and lives in our house for nothing, we have to slaughter him today, we can't cheap him."

Shen Qiao saw that Zhou was a little embarrassed, so he spoke.

"You kid! Ren Ah Xuan has helped a lot in our family, if it weren't for him, our mother and daughter would have to work for at least a month! ”

Zhou patted Shen Qiao's hand and said angrily.

"Don't, don't say that, auntie. I treat my aunt and Qiaoqiao as relatives. If my aunt sees me again, then I will have to move out with Ngawang today! ”

Gu Xuan looked pitiful.

Shen Qiao glanced at him.

Load!

You're ready to go!

also deceived her mother into being so soft-hearted.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say it. Let's sit down and wait a while to see the dragon boats. ”

Zhou took the words and didn't say that it was a waste of money.

After a while, Ngawang came, and the leaves were all on the table.

Gu Xuan ordered all the slightly famous dishes in the restaurant, and slowly put it on the table.

Shen Qiao was speechless.

Sure enough, it's your son, can the four of them finish this table?

However, the money was not from her, and she didn't bother to say it.

At noon, the dragon boat race began.

The men were wearing short fights and rowing hard, and the shore was full of cheering girls and children.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was still very open, although women also had to teach their husbands and children, gentle and virtuous, but there were no harsh regulations that they were not allowed to go out and not meet with foreign men before leaving the pavilion.

"I haven't seen a dragon boat in years!"

Zhou sighed as he watched the dragon boats rowing by the river by the window.

Shen Qiao also watched with interest.

Suddenly, she saw a woman not far from the shore shouting something in a panic.

Then the crowd all stopped shouting.

"Hey, something seems to have happened there!"

Ngawang also saw that side.

"It looks like someone on the shore has fallen and been injured!"

Shen Qiao squinted, but he still couldn't see clearly, only to see the group of people panicking.

"No, it was a corpse that suddenly appeared in the water."

Gu Xuan said with a smile.

"Corpses?"

"Corpses?"

Ngawang and Zhou exclaimed.

"Can you see clearly?"

Shen Qiao looked at Gu Xuan suspiciously.

Gu Xuan said with a smile: "Of course, this son's eyesight is excellent, not only good eyesight, but also good skills, but I don't have a chance to show it in front of Qiao Qiao." ”

"Don't laugh, be serious!" Shen Qiao didn't have a good air, then turned to look at the place and asked, "Is it really a corpse?" It still came out of nowhere. ”

Gu Xuan continued to grin and said, "That's right. In just a moment, the corpse inexplicably appeared on the surface of the river. How it appeared, I don't see, but the body, that's certainly right, the man is dead. ”

"Shall we go and see it?"

Shen Qiao thought for a while and said.

"Don't!"

Zhou immediately replied.

I finally gave birth for a month, but I encountered a murder again.

She really didn't want Shen Qiao to have too much contact with these things.

Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan looked at the panicked Zhou family, a little puzzled.

"That Qiaoqiao, my mother just doesn't want you to have too much contact with these things. When the person died, there was a county lord investigating the case. You're a girl, so it's not good to have too much contact with these things. ”

Zhou took Shen Qiao's hand and explained.

"Mother, I just want to go and see. Besides, the presence of a corpse does not mean that there is a case, in case this person dies by accident! It's boring for us to stay here anyway, so let's go check it out! ”

Shen Qiao said.

Her occupational disease, when she saw these things, she wanted to know the cause and effect.

"Auntie, it's okay, with me and Ah Wang, I will protect you."

Gu Xuan thought that the Zhou family was worried about Shen Qiao's safety, so he comforted him.

"That's right, auntie, don't you see that there are so many girls watching the excitement over there? Miss Shen didn't have anything in the past, let's just go and see. ”

Ngawang also said.

"Oh well! Since you all want to see it, let's go! ”

Zhou said helplessly.

Walking to the door, she grabbed Shen Qiao again, and said worriedly: "Qiaoqiao, you have to promise your mother, no matter what happens for a while, don't make a move!" This matter is in the hands of the county master, and it has nothing to do with us. You have to remember that we are ordinary people. ”

"Okay, mother. I'll just see, I don't interfere. ”

Shen Qiao patted Zhou's hand and comforted.

Gu Xuan on the side pouted.

The devil will believe you!

The big lady who sells oil cakes is stolen, you will come forward to help others catch the thief, if this person is killed, you can see the clues, you don't interfere to blame!

You just can't be idle, so you just deceive your mother!

When the four of them came to the shore, there were already officials who stepped forward.

There were a bunch of people around, more than I could see in a restaurant.

And the dragon boat race in the river also ended because of the sudden appearance of the corpse.

The men who were rowing the dragon boats, dressed up, also rushed over.

Because the first few people who saw the corpse at that time said that it was when their group of dragon boats rowed past that the corpse surfaced, so the head catcher of the yamen asked this group of people to come and ask about the situation first.

Shen Qiao found a better position in the crowd and looked at the corpse that had been fished ashore.

The deceased was a man of about twenty years, dressed in white, and looking at the fabric, it was not a material that ordinary people could wear.

The officials were pressing on the deceased's chest, but no stagnant water was coming out, indicating that the deceased was not drowned.

After a while, an old man in his fifties arrived with tools.

He did a series of examinations and concluded that the deceased was not drowned, but was thrown into the water after death.
