Chapter 52: Dragon Boat Boat (I)

The Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race was organized by the Beijing government, and this year it was organized by the wealthy businessman Pei Jia. In addition to training the dragon boat team, many of the contestants www.biquge.info invited official or private prostitutes to add color to their dragon boat teams. Therefore, at this time, the major pavilions in the capital will receive a lot of invitations.

Yu Qingqing took the first invitation letter she received and went to Liu Hanyan's room to find her. In order not to offend anyone, the girls generally take the first letter they receive as the standard, and go to whom's house.

"Sister Liu, which one are you going to this year?" Pushing open Liu Hanyan's door, seeing that the tidbits were also there, Yu Qingqing said, "Sister Hua also received it, right?" ”

Tidbit picked up a red post on the table and shook it twice, saying, "I received it from Master Xu in Chengxi, what about you, sister?" ”

"The son of the Ma family."

"Yo, that's pretty good, Mr. Ma seems to be very generous with the money."

Yu Qingqing sat down next to the tidbits uninterestingly, brushed her skirt and said, "What's good?" I was expecting to receive the Pei family this year, they are the financiers. ”

Liu Hanyan smiled: "You are really greedy. ”

"Which one did my sister receive?"

Before Liu Hanyan could say anything, the tidbits hurriedly replied: "Which one else can it be, isn't it the son of the Yu family." ”

"Hmph, this Yu Gongzi is running fast."

Tidbit: "Hey, where do you say Sister Xie Yu will go this year?" ”

Yu Qingqing said: "If you want to take care of so much, Sister Xie will naturally have a good place to go." Anyway, the people who invite her every year are lined up at the threshold, and she picks whoever she likes. Look at the second son of the Jiang family, he was the first to come every year, and people ignored it. ”

Tidbit covered his mouth and smiled: "That Jiang Ergongzi hasn't seen Sister Xie Yu eight times out of ten, and he hasn't been running from time to time, and he hasn't stopped sending things." Mom didn't know how much he received from him for this. ”

"People just want to have money."

Liu Hanyan said: "Don't be so sour. Sister Xie Yu usually doesn't have much to do with us, just because you always say this kind of thing. She didn't get in the way of anyone, why did she suffer a lot of gossip for no reason. I think she should go to Second Master Qin's house again this year. ”

Trivia: "But I see that Second Master Qin hasn't been here recently, I don't know what's wrong?" ”

"Maybe it's busy with business, after all, the Qin family has so much business, and Second Master Qin will take care of it alone."

Xie Yu sat alone in the pavilion and played the piano, and the sound of the piano was sad.

There were two stacks of various red stickers on the side of the piano platform, both of which invited her to watch the dragon boat race. She has flipped through these posts several times, for fear that someone will miss it. But no matter how she looked, she didn't have the one she wanted.

Fang Ling walked in from the outside with her head down, holding a post in her hand.

When Xie Yu saw it, he stopped his hands, wanted to ask, and stopped. Because Fang Ling had already shaken her head and replied to her expectations.

"It's from Mishi-sama's."

Fang Ling walked over and stacked the posts in her hand on top of the others, and said, "Girl, are we still waiting?" It's the third year of junior high school today. Otherwise, I'll go to Qin's house and ask to see if the people forgot to send it. ”

Xie Yu smiled bitterly, "Forget it, let's go to Fan Gongzi's house." ”

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Yin family's workshop was also on holiday, and everyone had to celebrate the festival, so Yin Qianhe asked Yin Qianyi to buy some meat and send it to the workers as a festival.

Yin Qianyi wrapped the zongzi last night, hung the calamus wormwood, and waited for the festival. She originally wanted to invite Xiang Tianqing to have a festival meal with them during the Dragon Boat Festival, but the Wang family had already called him first, so Yin Qianyi gave up, after all, it was still the master's family that was important.

The dragon boat racing team got up in the morning to go to the Dragon Temple to worship the gods, and sent the dragon head of the dragon boat to the Dragon Temple to remove the obscurity, so Yin Qianhe changed his race clothes early in the morning and went out with the mighty team to the Dragon Temple.

The main purpose of sacrificing to the gods is to offer three animals and five grains, and pray for good weather this year.

After the worship is over, everyone will carry the dragon head to each dragon boat and nail it to the bow of the boat, so that the dragon boat race can begin, which is equivalent to obtaining the approval of the dragon god.

The dragon boat race starts at 4 o'clock in the morning, and this year there are more than 30 participants. The river section of the competition is selected from Kuiyuan Restaurant to Zhou Bridge, which is ten miles in total. In order to make room for dragon boats, cargo ships and private boats are not allowed to travel all day long in this section of the river.

After Yin Qianyi finished preparing the materials for lunch at home, she went to watch the game with Yin Hongchang.

When they came to the river, it was already crowded. Watching the bustle, selling food and knick-knacks, everyone wearing their best clothes, crowded the banks of the Tongji River.

The restaurant teahouse on the shore is also an excellent business, especially the location where you can watch the game, which has long been robbed. The father and daughter found a place where they could barely see the scene in the river.

The dragon boat was temporarily docked on the shore, and Yin Qianhe and the rest of the crew waited on the dragon boat.

The main body of the dragon boat of the Qin family is dark blue, not black, and the color of the clothes often worn by Qin Chong is almost the same, and the local blue and red colors are applied, and the flags inserted in the front and back are also according to the color of the boat.

The dragon head and tail are attached. The head and tail are finely crafted, the dragon head is high, the dragon tail is high, and the dragon scale carving of the boat body is painted piece by piece, very attentive.

A total of 36 people were rowers, drummers, helmsmen, flags, incense stickers, and gong beaters, all wearing Xuanqing race clothes and headscarves gathered on the boat, and the momentum of the entire dragon boat came out, which was completely different from the feeling during training.

Wu Xiaohu, who was hanging from one arm, brought them wine before the start of the game.

Yin Qian saw that he was alone, so he asked, "What about Second Master Qin?" ”

"The second master is waiting to watch the game in the Jufu teahouse near the state bridge, and I will come over later. Miss Yin, you have to behave well today, our goal is to be number one. ”

Yin Qianhe said: "You don't need to say it, this is a bargaining chip for me to negotiate conditions with your second master, how dare I slack off." Are you giving everyone a grand drink? ”

"Hmm. Come, everyone come to have a bowl, and only after drinking can you have the strength to row. ”

The crew cheered and cheered as they disembarked from the ship and rushed to get their drinks.

Yin Qian didn't compete with them, sitting quietly in the boat and observing the surroundings.

She looked at other dragon boats, red, green, blue and white, each of which was extraordinary. The delicate painting of the hull of the ship is even more dazzling in the sunlight.

There were also a few young women sitting next to some boats, all of them dressed up in fancy clothes, adding a bit of color to the dragon boat. Some are even accompanied by various musical instruments to play to enhance the sound.

"Brother Little Tiger, why are there so many girls on the side of those boats?"

Wu Xiaohu looked in the direction of her finger, "Oh, that's the Qinglou girl invited by the boat owner to help cheer up." ”

"Why don't we please?"

"Last year, I was invited, and the leader was still the interpreter girl, but this year I don't know why, but the second master didn't invite me again."

One of the crew members followed, "yes." The beautiful girl I invited last year made many people just stare at our boat, and our hearts were also beautiful. ”

Yin Qianhe knew the reason why Qin Chong didn't ask for explanations, so he didn't continue to ask. Just thinking about the bitter words, she must be very sad. When the dragon boat race is over, I must find a way to help her.
