Dozens of dragon boats on the banks of the Songling River have long been ready to go, these exquisite and sturdy dragon boats are all spent by major families to hire people to build Seiko, and the boatmen who rowed the boats are also carefully selected. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The prince stood on the high platform of the river, and pointed to the tallest one in the middle, the dragon boat hull was painted with vermilion lacquer, and the golden dragon pattern flag was hung on the high mast, which was very conspicuous among the dragon boats, and he said proudly: "This dragon boat will definitely win the first prize." ”
The children of the family were not surprised, that dragon boat was specially built by the prince with a lot of money, that is, to win the first place in the Duanyang dragon boat race, even if the dragon boats of other families took the lead, I am afraid that they will not compete more. This time, Gu Yuan is doomed! Everyone shook their heads and looked at Gu Yuan, sighing a little, this gamble was completely impossible for Gu Yuan to win.
Gu Yuan got up, walked to the railing, looked at the dozens of dragon boats below, and stretched out his hand to point to a dragon boat in the distance: "Ah Yuan thinks that one dragon boat can arrive first and take the lead." ”
Everyone got up and looked, only to see that it was an inconspicuous ebony dragon boat, and the boatmen sitting on the dragon boat were all short and thin, compared to the prince's boat, it was a world of difference, Gu Yuan actually said that this dragon boat could come out on top! For a while, there was an uproar on the Wangjiang platform.
Wu Jun Shou laughed and said: "This sister-in-law is not confused, she actually said that such a tattered dragon boat can win His Highness, it is obviously nonsense. ”
The sisters-in-law also laughed, and the two sisters-in-law of the Zhang family covered their mouths and smiled: "I'm afraid that the previous few Lang Jun will waste five hundred gold in vain, this sister-in-law pretended to be a ghost and said that she could predict the blessings and misfortunes, but this time it was a slap in the face." ”
Zhu Jing snorted coldly, pulled Lu Xiu and said: "Ah Xiu, you still persuade Jin Lang, such a despicable person should not be taken care of, it is obviously just grandstanding, it is actually from a family, and it does not affect the face of our Wujun family." As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yun a little proudly.
Gu Yun's face was very ugly, but she had no way to refute it, she could only hate and hate, and she was even more annoyed with Gu Yuan in her heart, if it weren't for herself, why would she have been teased again and again, and she also affected Lu Jin, which made her feel even more ashamed and annoyed.
Gu Yao lowered her head at this time, did not look at the dragon boat under the stand, nor did she look at Gu Yuan, she seemed to be thinking about something, and did not pay attention to the open and secret battles of the sisters-in-law, and only looked up at the place where Lang Jun was sitting for a long time, but her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she looked depressed and delicate.
The prince listened to Gu Yuan's words, stroked his palms and laughed: "It seems that this game, Lone has won." His smile gradually turned cold: "Lone originally listened to their rumors, and thought that your sister-in-law was really capable." Now it seems that it is just a deception of the world and an attempt to deceive the orphans. When the report of the battle in the north comes, Lone will inevitably take your life! ”
"Your Highness, this sister-in-law is just a side branch of the Gu family, her status is low, stupid and ignorant, where can she predict the blessings and misfortunes, it's just nonsense!" Behind the crown prince came the sound of delicate talking.
Gu Yuan looked back, but it was Zhang Shiniang, who was dedicated to the crown prince before, she was already dressed as a woman, with a high bun, her face was a little haggard, and she looked at Gu Yuan with a dark resentment, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan blinked, he and this Zhang Shiniang just said a few words, and they couldn't even talk about it, why she was targeting herself so much, I really couldn't understand it. However, she didn't plan to have more verbal disputes with her, she had heard of this prince's behavior in her previous life, but she was afraid that Zhang Shiniang, who was dedicated to the prince, and the sister-in-law of the Zhu family would not be happy, and she didn't need to entangle and fight with these poor people.
Lan Ji on the side sneered: "Sister, you are just a concubine from a family, why bother talking about her like this." ”
Zhang Shiniang's pretty face was purple when she boarded, and she was so choked that she couldn't speak, she was angry and wanted to say a few words, but Lan Ji was the prince's favorite person, and she was just ...... She had to endure it, bowed her head and didn't dare to speak again.
"Your Highness, why don't you talk about winning or losing after watching this race?" Gu Yuan walked back to the side of the mat, flicked his sleeves and sat down calmly, reached out to take the ear cup, took a sip gently, and said slowly.
Perhaps a little curious about Gu Yuan's calm attitude, the prince raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let's see how long you can calm down." ”
"Knock knock......" Dozens of big drums on the bank of the river were beaten early, and the rhythm turned from slow to rapid to the hearts of the people, as if every drum beat was knocked on the hearts of the people watching the dragon boat, and the people on the shore breathed rapidly and shouted in surprise: "It's started, it's started, the dragon boat race is about to start!" ”
Dozens of dragon boats hoisted the flags of the major families, and the boatmen also tensed their bodies, firmly grasping the wooden oars, waiting for the horn to gallop out. Among them, only the dragon boat that Gu Yuan pointed to earlier did not have a flag, and he couldn't tell which family it belonged to.
Finally, with a crisp gong, the dragon boat race began! The prince's dragon boat really took the lead and rushed out, the speed was unmatched by other dragon boats, and the dragon boats of many families were not to be outdone, and the one that fell last was the one that Gu Yuan had his eye on, it rowed out unhurriedly, chasing after the other dragon boats.
"It's really funny that this can also come out on top!" Everyone laughed, "I'm afraid this sister-in-law is in a hurry, so she pointed to the worst dragon boat!" It seems that this time, several major families are going to be affected by her and lose the bet!
