Chapter 122: Boat Race
As the name suggests, the mirror lake is shaped like a diamond bronze mirror, the water surface is smooth, and even when the wind rises, there are not many waves.
The lake is not big, and there are a few painting boats parked in it at the moment, which makes it even more exquisite. If you stand on the shore and look into the distance, you can see that there is a slip of water on the far left of the mirror lake, which is oblique and leads to the outer river. But according to the old people, this mirror lake was originally closed, and it was only after Emperor Jialong ascended the throne that he ordered someone to dig a road to connect the lake.
There is also a stone bridge on it, like a lying bow, with holes in the red railing, all of which are not exquisite.
After Ruosheng and his party got off the carriage, they were not in a hurry to get on the boat.
Due to the terrain, the Dayin Dynasty already had many waterways, and even the family was in charge of transportation, and the ships at hand were indispensable. Unlike the rest of the noble families in the capital, although there is no shortage of money and manpower, ships are still rare, especially such a large building ship.
The Dongyi people, who rarely cross the waterway, saw it, and they were afraid that it was possible to mistake it for a house.
The Lianjia painting boat docked in the mirror lake is spacious and bright, with heavy canopies, bucket arches and flying teeth, and it is like being on the twelfth floor of the nine-fold sky under the clear sky.
In one of the painting boats, the sound of silk and bamboo comes from time to time, which is melodious and moving, making the smell feel relaxed and pleasant.
As soon as the fifth girl Wanyin Fang stood still, she pointed to the ship and said, "I'll take this one and go." ”
The fourth wife, Lin, happened to come over, listened to it, and saw that none of the people on the side spoke, so her daughter looked arrogant, and she was also a little embarrassed, and she coughed twice and said, "It's okay, you can go with your mother." ”
There are still many small boats around the painting boat, but it is natural that even the masters of the family have to go to the painting boat.
The painting boat with the music team is the largest. The decoration is also the most gorgeous.
The fourth wife, the Lin family, is the only elder in this line, so she should take this ship.
However, the painting boat is large, and there are many people who can ride, except for a few people in the fourth room, there are still a lot of people who can go up.
After Lin finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the second and fourth girls standing on the shore, and asked a little perfunctorily, "Are you two on another boat?" ”
As for Ruosheng, she didn't ask at all, she had long decided that Ruosheng would definitely point to the best one.
When even the remaining girls in the family heard this, they all said that they wanted to take another ship.
Lin also shut up and didn't say a word. Just let people get on board.
But the crowd gradually went up. As soon as the Lin family turned around, he found that Ruo Sheng was still in place, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said suspiciously: "Ah Jiu, why don't you leave?" ”
Out of the corner of his eye, Ruosheng glanced at the boats parked around the boat. Wen Yan smiled. His eyes fell on the fourth wife, Lin. Said slowly: "The fourth aunt just goes by herself, and I won't take the painting boat today." ”
When Lin heard this, he was stunned.
It's so easy to react. She condescendingly glanced at the boats around the boat, and couldn't help but hesitate: "The race will be held, but you can't see it clearly by boat." ”
Stand tall to see far.
Everyone understands this truth, but if you don't come out here to watch the boat race, it's naturally better than a huge boat.
She shook her head: "It's okay, I can't see it, it's the same if I go up to the high platform to see it." ”
Since it is a competition, it is natural to have a judge.
High platforms have long been erected along the shore for people to watch.
In addition, the event was originally organized by the family, and with Ruosheng's identity, if you want to go to the high platform to watch, there is no difficulty.
The fourth wife, Lin Shi, thought that this was true, and then frowned, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let it go." Turning around, the fifth girl, Wanyin, came to her side and asked in a low voice, "The third sister doesn't come up?" ”
Lin nodded slightly: "I'm afraid that she wants to go up to the high platform to see it before she goes out, where is she willing to sit on the painting boat?" ”
The fifth girl stomped her foot when she heard this, and said unhappily: "She will be pestering her father again in a while!" ”
As long as she remembered that her father reprimanded and reprimanded her last time, and spoke kindly and softly to Ruosheng, she couldn't get angry.
"What if she gets entangled?" Lin Shi nodded heavily on her forehead, "That's your father after all, not hers." ”
The fifth girl was still unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to turn her head and talk to her brother.
Lin stared at her back, only to feel the green tendons on her temples jump suddenly, and her head hurt, so she didn't bother to stop her anymore, and was just about to go inside.
The accompanying henchman Sister-in-law lifted the curtain and asked, "Madam, do you really care about the three girls?" ”
Lin Shi felt more and more headaches, stopped and turned around to look at the shore from afar, but was shocked to find that there was no longer a figure on the shore, and couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "What about the three girls?" ”
"It's just on the shore!" Sister-in-law Niu hurriedly turned her head to see when she heard the sound, and when she saw that there was really no one, she immediately looked at the boats gathered around the painting boat, "Madam, the third girl is gone!" ”
The fourth wife, Lin, was looking around, and when she heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”
Sister-in-law Niu stretched out her finger a little farther away: "It's right there!" ”
"This girl's temperament is exactly the same as her father!" Only then did the Lin family finally see Ruosheng's whereabouts, "Don't give me trouble today." ”
It stands to reason that the painting boat goes first, and the boat follows nearby, but the flat boat that Ruosheng is riding on now has already flown out like an arrow from the string, "whoosh-".
Sister-in-law Niu persuaded: "Don't worry, Mrs., there are people from our family everywhere today, and the three girls are just messing around, and there will definitely be no major incidents." ”
Lin shook the curtain and walked in, "Big things can't happen, I'm afraid small disasters are still indispensable." ”
Sister-in-law Niu was speechless, and quietly turned her head to look at the water.
The flat boat, only a little stern remained, and it was gone in an instant.
And in the wind, the sound of drums could be heard in the distance.
In the daylight, the surface of the lake sparkles and shines like broken gold.
The boat got farther and farther away from the boat, and it didn't take long for it to reach the place where Jinghu Lake was connected to the Surabaya River. After a few sounds of water, the boat left the lake and sailed into the Surabaya River.
However, the four wives on the painting boat all thought that Ruosheng would order the boat lady to sail the boat all the way to the outer river, but they didn't expect Ruosheng to quietly go ashore when he was still in the inland river. The Surabaya River runs through the capital. Divided into inland rivers and outer rivers, today is a regatta, just the inland river is naturally not enough fun, so when the competition starts, these boats will be like arrows towards the outer river.
Everyone thought that Ruosheng would go out of the river before the start of the competition.
Who knows, she has no plans to leave the city today.
On the shore where the boat is moored, a row of willows is planted, dense and green.
However, pedestrians. It quickly became dense like an ant.
The people on the shore were dressed in all kinds of clothes. It didn't take long to overshadow the greenery of the willows.
Hu Qiuniang followed Ruosheng inch by inch: "Girl, this year seems to be more lively than in previous years." ”
There were bursts of voices in my ears, and gradually, it all became a buzz - buzz -
Ruosheng sighed: "No wonder I didn't want to come to ...... in previous years"
It's so lively that it doesn't look like it anymore.
Then. Hu Qiuniang suddenly lowered her voice and whispered to her: "Girl." Master Su is here. ”
Ruosheng was slightly stunned: "Why didn't I see it?" ”
There are too many people. There were also many chariots and horses, and apart from the different clothes they were wearing, there were men and women among them. Old and young, they all looked at each other, and she didn't see Su Yu.
Hu Qiuniang didn't notice it when she saw her look around, and she didn't dare to say that her master's eyes were not good, so she could only think that she pointed it out to her. But after thinking about it carefully, it didn't look like this stretching out his hand to point, so he had to say, "Girl, don't look for anyone, look at the carriage parked over there." ”
Ruosheng frowned when he heard this, and muttered: "There are so many carriages, can you tell which one belongs to whom?" He looked at the rows of parked carriages.
Su Yu came out today, and he would definitely not use the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion, so Hu Qiuniang must not have recognized it because she saw the word "Su" on the carriage.
She looked at the first car suspiciously, it should have been some years.
Looking at the cars behind them, they are all dusty, but some are covered with tarpaulins and some are covered, or the paint color is different.
Suddenly, a very ordinary-looking, black and blue carriage came into Ruosheng's eyes.
Ruosheng looked at it, and his eyelids jumped.
No wonder Hu Qiuniang recognized it at once!
The carriage was inconspicuous, not much different from the ones parked on the side, but the things on the canopy were very different!
The carriage on the side was empty, but on top of this one, there was a big cat, a fat cat with yellow and white fur and a body that was too big to look like a cat!
Suddenly, as if it had seen Ruosheng, it raised its front paws high, revealing its snow-white belly.
Ruosheng couldn't help but cover his eyes.
Hu Qiuniang asked in a low voice, "Can the girl see it?" ”
"It's so conspicuous!" Ruosheng sighed, "I'm afraid that only the two of them can do this kind of thing in the world." ”
Is...... Publicity......
Ruosheng lowered his hand, laughed helplessly, and walked towards the carriage.
"Oh boy, you can slow down, the minions won't be able to keep up-"
At this time, a few people suddenly appeared in the oblique stab, and they almost bumped into it, but fortunately, Ruosheng and his party dodged in time, and when everyone came back to their senses, the group of people slipped away and walked away.
The person who walked at the end dressed up as a small servant and shouted all the way, "Son, slow down", but the person who walked at the front didn't stop, and he didn't even say a word.
Ruosheng frowned and glanced at it, and suddenly felt that his eyes hurt.
He wore a red coat, a green belt, and a red gold collar around his neck......
What a dress up!
She was startled, turned her face to look at Hu Qiuniang, but saw that Hu Qiuniang was also in disbelief, shook her head and said, "I don't know which family's son, there is still such a dress." ”
Ruosheng also shook his head, "There are no wonders in the world. ”
There are also weirdos in the capital.
She continued to walk towards the carriage, and as soon as she got closer, Yuan Bao jumped down from the top and called affectionately, "Meow......"
Hu Qiu Niang said curiously: "The girl wears a power fence, how can this little thing be recognized?" ”
Yuan Bao called twice more, jumped into the carriage one by one, and slipped into the curtain.
Then, a hand reached out from behind the curtain and lifted the curtain slightly. (To be continued......) R1292
