Chapter 14 The Young Anding River, a tributary of the Sanggan River, flows from east to west and rushes into the mountains. But this piece of river about ten miles away from the capital, but the water potential is gentle, the mountains on both sides are verdant, the trees are shady, and the dragon boat race of the Dragon Boat Festival every year is a grand event in the capital.

Dawu Dynasty Guotai Min'an, this dragon boat race is also getting bigger and bigger year by year, dignitaries and wealthy businessmen are spending money to charter the dragon boat team early, looking forward to grabbing the long red to win the jackpot on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that the gambling stalls have been betting for a long time, and every year some people win cups full of bowls, and some people lose so much that they don't even have their pants.

This year's lottery is bigger than any year, and there has already been a bet stall next to the Anding River, up to the famous sons, down to the peddlers' pawns, all of them have to run over to bet on a sum, if the bet is really right, the silver will be loaded back with a sack.

The reason why this year is more lively than going home is because the legend says that the twelve princes will also add color!

Although state affairs cannot be discussed in vain, the affairs of the twelve princes are known to everyone in the entire capital. This is because many years ago, the emperor list was posted in the capital to search for famous doctors to treat the twelve princes.

Legend has it that the Twelve Princes were frail and sickly, and when they were four or five years old, they were terminally ill, and the hospital was helpless.

Since the emperor's list was posted that year, the people of the capital have never heard the news of the twelve princes, but there is news in the palace secretly, saying that the little prince has not been cured for a long time and has been sent to a quiet place to recuperate.

Today, the saint has not yet set up a prince, and the matter of several princes fighting openly and secretly has long been spread to the people, as for the twelve princes who have been sick since childhood, there has been no news for many years, and he must have died a long time ago.

After many years, there was news that the twelve princes were going to see the dragon boat and add color, and everyone remembered that there was such a prince, and after so many years, he was still alive.

Jin Min is not a showy person, the Jin family is rich, but his official position in the household department is not high, so he is cautious and very low-key. But Changfang is different, as an imperial businessman, things like dragon boat racing will pay a lot of money, Jin Min scoffed at this and said a few cool words. Unexpectedly, these words reached Nie's ears, and when the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, he asked people to send a sign, and the big flower card of the dragon boat team was written with the names of Jin Yu and Jin Min in the east and west of the Jin family!

Nie's approach is obvious, if you dislike me as a merchant, then if I have a good deed, I will pull you as a noble scholar, so that you can remember that you are still a member of the Jin family.

Since he has his name, Jin Min also had to take out the silver and cast this dragon boat with Changfang. The silver was spent, and he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and when his colleagues asked him, Jin Min only said lightly: "The silver spent by the eldest brother added my name." ”

Unlike Jin Min, the rest of the Jin family's Xifu was excited. At the annual dragon boat race, those ladies and ladies are showing off their own dragon boats, and this time it is finally their turn to be in the limelight in Xifu.

Early in the morning, the ladies of the Jin family went out of the city, and at this time, the banks of the Anding River were already crowded, and there were people watching the excitement everywhere.

The river is wide, and there is a colorful platform on the bank, which is also the end point of the dragon boat race. There are more than a dozen painting boats on the color platform, which is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and no adult dares to blatantly buy a painting boat, so most of these painting boats are the homes of merchants, and the painting boats where the ladies of the Jin family are located are the east mansion of the Jin family.

The Biqu Pavilion of the Dragon Boat Race is www.biquge.info in the River Temple, about thirty miles away. At this time, it was past the end of the year, and the dragon boats had already set off.

In addition to the ladies of the Jin family, there are more than a dozen wives and ladies of the official eunuch family on the painting boat. The women hung their horses, and the ladies sat in front of the lattice window of the painting boat, eating melon seeds and chatting about the idle days.

Jin Yuan was dressed very outstandingly, wearing a magenta gown with gold thread, a rose-colored moon shadow skirt, and the golden step with many treasures and beads on her head.

The goose yellow twig pattern short skirt and pink skirt on Linglong's body were newly sewn a few days ago in order to welcome the Xu family, she was young, half a head shorter than Jin Yuan, and she was inconspicuous when she stood behind Jin Yuan. Those ladies were stunned when they saw her, so they glanced at each other, but they didn't talk to her, they were familiar with Jin Yuan, and they had already guessed who she was.

Linglong looked around, but did not see the two cousins of the uncle's family, Xuanji and Linlang, this painting boat belonged to the Jin family, but the guests on the painting boat did not know each other.

Jin Yu is only nine years old, and at this time, she is watching the horse hanging with the Song family, Jin Yuan and the ladies chat quietly, and from time to time let out one or two coquettish laughter.

A maid brought a plate of zongzi, and Xingyu peeled one for Linglong and put it in a small white porcelain dish. The zongzi is filled with glutinous rice, red beans and dates, Linglong is never picky, but like many little girls, she prefers sweets, and she eats a few bites of a zongzi.

After eating zongzi, Linglong took Xingyu to the side of the painting boat and looked at the scenery on the riverbank through the half-open lattice window. It's just that there are too many people on the shore today, and the black pressure is crowded, and there is no scenery to see.

"Miss, look, is that the third master?"

Linglong looked in the direction pointed by Xingyu, and saw that there was a painting boat not far away, and several young men were standing on the side of the boat, pointing to the color platform opposite, one of them was wearing a light green straight jacket, it was her brother Jin Zifeng.

In an instant, Linglong had already guessed what Jin Yuan was going to do. Jin Yuan is just a fourteen-year-old girl, and she is used to being pampered, and her mind is not difficult to guess.

Since Jin Zifeng is here, Xu Tingshen must also be here, I think Jin Yuan wants to disgrace her Jin Linglong in front of Xu Tingshen and the ladies.

Linglong just thought about this, and saw Xu Tingshen, who had just come out of the cabin, said a few words to Jin Zifeng, and looked at the painting boat where the ladies of the Jin family were.

Seeing him looking over, Linglong hurriedly walked to the other side of the painting boat, but saw a small boat sailing over not far away.

Compared with these painting boats parked on the river, this Ye Xiaozhou is inconspicuous, the three of them stand on the side of the boat facing the wind, standing in the middle is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with a cold face, a long body and a jade body, his robe is blown up by the wind, and from a distance, it seems that he is about to fly at any time.

"Hey, whose son is that?"

The ladies who were still chatting just now also looked at the window at some point, and they also saw the boy on the boat.

The boat was the most common on the river, small and old, and the young man's clothes were very casual, with a bronze face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but he stood there, like the sun in the morning, dazzling and radiant.

"I've seen all the sons of big families in the capital, but I've never seen him."

"Hey, you're not shy, you dare to say that."

"Shhhh

"What's the matter, people just turn the bow of the boat."

At this moment, I heard a maid shouting, "Look! The dragon boat is coming! ”

Linglong couldn't help but run to the window at the bow of the boat and pulled her neck to look out, only to see a few red dots in the distance were coming this way, the little girl's eyes were very good, this dragon boat was still far away.

When he returned, the boat and the boy were gone.
