Chapter 126: Flower Folding Competition
On the high platform, several people sitting with their backs straight suddenly stood up to the sound of drums. The person standing in the middle was Lian Zening, the fourth master of the Lian family, and after he stood still, he raised his right hand and made a gesture of stopping in the air.
The rumbling drums on both sides of the stand stopped abruptly.
The fifth girl, Wanyin, sat next to Ruosheng, and after seeing this scene, she turned her head and sneered: "Third sister, has you never seen the second uncle standing there?" ”
Even the second master has a child's temperament, so he naturally can't bear such a big responsibility, the annual regatta is a grand event, of course he will not come out, even if Mrs. Yun Zhen favors him, she will never ask him to stand on that platform to preside over the event.
So over the years, if it wasn't even the third master who came forward, or even the fourth master came forward, he never saw the second master.
Everyone in Gyeonggi knew the reason, and the fifth girl, as a member of the Lian family, certainly understood better, but when she saw her father standing there in high spirits, surrounded by all the noble clan relatives beside him, and treated him politely, she couldn't help but feel proud. It just so happened that Ruosheng was also looking at the platform, where could she still keep her mouth shut and not say a word?
After finishing speaking, she immediately added: "If I knew this, I should have called my second uncle to come with me this time!" ”
Her mother, Mrs. Four, sat a little farther away from their cousins, and she became a little bolder, and her tone became more mean.
"Third sister! Can't you hear me talking to you? Seeing that she had said a few words, Ruosheng's gaze was still fixed on the platform not far away and did not retract it, she was annoyed, "It's not that I'm sick again, right?" ”
Ruosheng was stunned, then glanced sideways at her and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The fifth girl shook the fan embroidered with silver silk and white peony in her hand: "That year, it also happened that my father came to preside over the event, and you followed early in the morning." As a result, as soon as she got on the painting boat, she began to cry, and she wanted to go home, did the third sister forget it all? ”
"When?" She really couldn't remember the slightest.
The fifth girl threw the fan on her lap, frowned and said angrily: "The third sister has not forgotten, I have forgotten all these things, and I don't know if it was intentional!" ”
If you think her words are sour, you will also frown. He lowered his face and asked, "I know that I am older than you." You need to call me a third sister, and now this is the way you should talk to your sister? ”
"You're getting more and more fond of putting on a show......" Xu is rarely seen such a gloomy Ruosheng, and the five girls were obviously startled. The voice also fell to a low level.
Ruosheng looked at her fixedly, but still asked, "Why am I crying?" ”
When the fifth girl heard this, she suddenly stood up: "It's not because of the fact that I fell into the water last year." ”
It's scared to cry.
The fifth girl glanced at her quietly and said in a low voice: "So I haven't come out at the Duanyang Festival for so many years." Don't cry anymore today. "When you are seen, you can't even save the face of your family.
Ruosheng is unheard. Hearing this, he slowly retracted his gaze, looked at the river, and then asked unintentionally, "In this way, when I fell into the water that year." Are you there too? ”
On the day of the fifth day, even the girls of the family are in the long room, and those who don't like to walk around will also come out to relax, according to the temperament of the five girls Wanyin. You shouldn't miss it.
Sure enough, the fifth girl immediately said, "Although it is here." But it has nothing to do with me, third sister, don't talk nonsense after many years! ”
"Why don't you have anything to do with it?" Ruosheng was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask without a trace.
However, when these words fell into the ears of the fifth girl, it immediately became a question, she didn't know that Ruosheng in front of her was different from the one she was familiar with, and she only remembered all of them clearly, and she had already discovered it, and she couldn't help but eagerly plead when she heard the words: "Why does it have anything to do with me?!" I didn't push you! ”
"You don't?" Ruosheng's eyes gradually changed.
The fifth girl grabbed the fan resting on her lap to cover her face, and turned sideways: "It's clear that you didn't stand firmly......
Many years have passed since the incident, and there was no maid and woman waiting for her at that time, who dares to say that the incident really has anything to do with her? What's more, isn't she even alive and well!
The five girls sneered and looked at the river.
The wide river, sparkling and full of painting boats.
The boats participating in the race on this trip stopped in an orderly manner on the river section in front of them, which was right in the eyes of everyone on the painting boat.
Because it was not very far away, the people standing on the boat closer to the painting boat could see clearly at the moment.
The fifth girl didn't know who she saw, and suddenly whispered: "Ahhh
The voice was not small, and the maids who were waiting on the side heard it clearly, and the fourth wife, Lin, who was sitting a little farther away, seemed to hear it, and turned her face to look at her. She hurriedly stopped her voice, but her eyes were still fixed on a small boat on the river.
She couldn't see much as she sat down, and suddenly she got up again without saying a word, and ran to the side of the boat.
The mother who followed her was shocked and hurriedly went to ask the fourth wife.
The fourth lady frowned and saw that the person had already run over like a rabbit, so she didn't bother to call her back again, and she couldn't sit still, so she only said casually: "Take care of it carefully, let her go." ”
At the same time, Hu Qiuniang, who was standing behind Ruosheng, grew taller and had a better vision, and when she saw what Ruosheng hadn't discovered yet, she suddenly leaned over slightly and said, "Girl, the disciple we just met is also on the boat." ”
Ruosheng was still thinking about what the fifth girl Wanyin said, and tilted his head when he heard the words, and the fox asked, "Why didn't I see it?" ”
Hu Qiuniang quietly pointed to a place.
Ruosheng followed the finger and looked at it from afar, and shook his head: "It's not a person, is it?" ”
"The slave and maid remember his face firmly, and there will be no mistake, not to mention that he is still with that little guy by his side."
Ruosheng had a bitter face: "After changing that eye-piercing clothes, I can't remember what he looked like." ”
Hu Qiuniang wanted to laugh a little, but in the end she couldn't help it, and only said: "The slave and maid just remember it for the girl, and the girl doesn't need to remember people by herself." ”
At this time, Wanyin, the fifth girl who was leaning on the side of the boat and looking down, suddenly sent someone over to call Ruosheng.
The little girl was respectful: "Third girl, fifth girl, please go over and have a look." ”
"See what?" Looking over the little girl's shoulder, Ruosheng looked at his fifth cousin who was not on good terms with him from a distance.
"The slave doesn't know, the fifth girl just said that you will know if you go over and see it." The little girl's voice became more and more respectful.
Her master is not a good person. This will order her to come and ask for someone, but she can't do it, and she will inevitably be punished if she turns back. Seeing that Ruosheng didn't speak or move for a long time, her face gradually became difficult to look at, and the hand hanging by her side trembled slightly.
Ruosheng happened to look at it.
So she got up and smiled, "Then go and see." ”
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled. Lead Ruosheng to the side of the ship.
But to the side. She still received two scoldings.
The fifth girl thought that she was useless, so she asked someone to spend a lot of work on it, and what could she be asked to do in the future. The sharp teeth and mouth were sharp, and the little girl said that she was tearful, and she almost couldn't help it.
Ruosheng said, "What do you want me to see?" ”
Only then did the fifth girl come back to her senses, and cautiously pointed to a small boat on the river to show her. Asked: "This person is His Royal Highness King Yu?" ”
Ruosheng was stunned: "King Yu? ”
According to my aunt, King Yu's eldest grandson, Shaoyuan, is not in the capital recently. Did you come back early?
She looked down at the river, and the people standing on the boat were also wearing regular clothes, Ruyi auspicious cloud pattern, which was very ordinary. It looks like he's just a son of a rich family, but ...... But he wore a white jade buckle with a bright yellow brocade around his waist......
Whether it's color or style, it's not available to ordinary people.
She groaned and asked the fifth girl, "Have you seen His Royal Highness King Yu?" ”
The fifth girl said happily: "You haven't seen it?
"Have you seen it?" Ruosheng was a little surprised.
The fifth girl made a disdainful sound. "Third sister, there will never be anyone in the world with a worse memory than you, right? Go to the beginning of the year when it snows. Let's go to the banquet together, didn't we happen to meet His Royal Highness King Yu at the banquet? ”
The corners of Ruosheng's mouth twitched: "Did you meet by chance?" ”
It's no wonder that she doesn't have the slightest impression!
The fifth girl fussed and said, "One side? How many people want to see this side and still can't see it! I thought you must have remembered, but you forgot all about such a tight matter. ”
When Ruosheng heard this, he didn't even have the heart to deal with her, so he just lowered his head and continued to look at the river.
Unexpectedly, this look finally made her see a person she recognized.
She didn't raise her head and asked, "Why are they all noble children?" "There was even the presence of the prince......
Hu Qiuniang replied: "The girl doesn't know, for example, the opening is the competition between the sons and daughters of the nobles and the clansmen, and the afternoon is the competition between the guards of each family." ”
The annual boat race has always been a grand event, and like the annual hunting, the participation of these children of the family is always indispensable, and winning is also a shameful thing.
At the end of the road, there is also a high platform, which is also decorated with red silk lanterns and other things, but the most conspicuous thing is a pot of flowers placed in the center of the high platform, a pot of flowers hastily transported from Pingzhou and specially cultivated.
Whoever plucks the flower first wins.
Therefore, the morning event over the years is also called the folding flower race.
Ruosheng looked at the young man who was standing sideways, and muttered, "He still has such interest......
No wonder he had a bunch of food in the carriage just now, and it was clear that it was not long before he finished breakfast.
But next to him, how could there still be a child who looked like a four or five year old?
Ruosheng was stunned, and heard the fifth girl muttering in his ears, "It seems that there are many fresh faces that I haven't seen in previous years this year." ”
Soon, the rumbling drums began again.
The boats on the river are flying down like arrows.
The fifth girl asked Ruosheng: "Who will win the third sister's bet?" ”
The hull of each regatta is painted in a different color, and it is said according to the color. The bet is just scattered silver and color heads, so most of the onlookers on the painting boat will choose one.
Ruosheng didn't want to think about it, and blurted out: "Blue." (To be continued) R655
