Chapter 137: Dragon Boat Race

Rao is Yun Wenting has a good temper, and he is a little angry when he hears this: "Second brother, what are you talking about?" ”

The corners of Yun Wenting's mouth curled, he glanced at Yun Wenting, raised his eyebrows and said, "Did I say something wrong?" You were obviously very angry when you just saw that Wu Yiyu bullying Xiao Jinglin. But when he stood in front of people, he still forced himself to give people a smile, and invited people to come on board. Master Yun, aren't you tired? ”

Yun Wenting pursed his lips and was silent for a while, but he didn't get angry anymore, but asked calmly: "Oh? What if so? ”

Yun Wen tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then snorted, half-truthfully and half-truthfully: "If her stick hits the person I fancie, I will kick her into the river." Then he said to her, 'Get out of here, don't let the master see you again!' See once kick once! ’。 ”

Yun Wenting smiled when he heard this, shook his head and glanced at his younger brother tolerantly, as if he was looking at a willful child: "You! ”

Yun Wenfang raised his eyebrows: "What?" Thought I wouldn't dare? ”

Yun Wenting shook his head and said softly, "No, I know that you dare." Yun Wenting was silent for a moment, "However, you don't have to endure it, but the Yun family always needs someone to endure it." ”

Yun Wenting's voice was very soft, and it was still gentle, Yun Wenfang glanced at him, but he couldn't say anything sarcastic.

After passing the bridge hole, the boat will be unimpeded all the way.

"Sorry to frighten you. I didn't expect to run into them. After Xiao Jinglin sat down in the painting boat, she said to Ren Yao.

Ren Yaochi shook his head: "I have nothing to do." ”

Xiao Jinglin thought about it, and still said to Ren Yaoqi: "The woman's name just now is Wu Yiyu, and she is my aunt's only daughter, and she has always been in agreement with me. You are with me today...... If you meet her in the future, try to avoid her and don't let yourself suffer. ”

Ren Yaoqi smiled: "Are you still worried that she will harm me, a pond fish?" Don't worry, I won't stay in Yunyang City for a few days, and I won't go out much. In a few days, I will follow the elders back to Baihe Town. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to meet this Miss Wu. ”

Xiao Jinglin felt that it was right, so she nodded and said nothing more.

The boat went north along the river in the city, and after about an hour of incense, it gradually slowed down, and the sound of the boatman and the person talking came from outside, and it should have arrived at the gate out of the city, and there were people stationed here. Yunyang City is the first important town in Yanbei, and the garrison is sufficient. However, because the waterway was rarely used, the defenders of the two northern and southern gates were less than half the defenders of the four gates.

Xiao Jinglin took out a hand-written thing from her sleeve and gave it to her maid and asked her to take it out. I sat down by the window.

The defenders outside naturally knew that the people who could go through the north gate so blatantly must be from the palace. So he was very polite during routine interrogation, and after seeing the maid take out the edict, he glanced at the side face of Xiao Jinglin who was sitting by the window, and immediately saluted and ordered his subordinates to open the floodgates.

The boat went out of the inner city smoothly, and the river channel for boats gradually widened. Xiao Jinglin ordered the maid to open the curtains on both sides of the painting boat, so that the people in the painting boat could have an unobstructed view of the scene outside.

The sunlight shining on the wide river surface is like a layer of fine golden light, sparkling and dazzling. The wind blowing in from the window carried some watery moisture. It doesn't smell good, but it makes people feel refreshed.

The further you go outside the city, the greener the two sides of the river become.

Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin looked at the window on the side, as if they were attracted by the other scenery outside. Neither spoke, and the two were silent a lot of the time when they were together.

Until Xiao Jinglin ordered: "Just stop here." ”

Ren Yaoqi retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Jinglin.

Xiao Jinglin showed a rare smile: "I caught a few fish before you came today, and I have asked the people in the restaurant to clean them up." Shall we eat a potty here at noon? I don't know why Ren Yaochi felt that Xiao Jinglin's eyes were bright when she talked about eating, although her tone was still light. Ren Yaoqi felt that she was happy.

"Okay. I haven't eaten this in a long time. Ren Yaochi said with a smile.

The potty is a hollow bronze vessel, the hollow part in the middle is used to place the charcoal fire, and the large "belly" outside is used to hold the soup. Once the soup is boiling, you can put raw meat or vegetables in it and eat it.

The common people of Yanbei often eat this in winter, which is warm and convenient, and it is also lively for the family to sit around a table. The nobles of the family also eat this occasionally, and the hands are all serving maids. If it is used for a feast, it is a potty in front of each person, and you can also do it yourself.

The painting boat stopped on the shore, and Hongying and another maid came in one after another from outside, including copper pots, charcoal fires, sliced fish, mutton, meatballs, and some side dishes. It is much easier to eat at home than before Ren Yaoqi.

As soon as the soup pot comes in, the whole painting boat is filled with a special fragrance that makes people can't help but move their index fingers.

Ren Yaoqi's eyes also lit up.

Xiao Jinglin said while arranging the dishes by herself: "I asked people to go to the Drunken Immortal Residence to get the soup." ”

The potty of the drunken immortal residence belongs to the entire Yanbei civilization, but it is ......

"I remember that Drunken Immortal Residence doesn't seem to sell outside food?" Ren Yaochi asked curiously.

In Kyoto, some famous restaurants have some strange rules, but the more strange the rules, the more praised by some famous sons and daughters, thinking that this is a kind of elegance. There are also very few people who use their power to break the rules set by the store. Of course, there are some people who don't play cards according to the rules, but this kind of people are generally from nouveau riche families who don't understand the rules, and speaking out will also make people despise and ridicule.

Xiao Jinglin's two maids lowered their heads and silently set the dishes.

Xiao Jinglin said lightly indifferently: "Oh, I asked the guards to go directly to their back kitchen to grab it." It's just a pot of soup, and it's not that you don't pay money. ”

“……”

Xiao Jinglin was unaware of everyone's faces, frowned and instructed the maid: "I want chili sauce, not sesame sauce." ”

Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin's appearance, suddenly laughed, and put the base material in front of him in front of Xiao Jinglin: "This is for you, we will change it." ”

Xiao Jinglin waved her hand to let the maids stand back, not letting them help with the vegetables, and started to move herself. The clothes she wears today are arrow-sleeved, so it's easy to move. didn't greet Ren Yaoqi, he put the fresh fish meat into the pot, soaked it back and forth twice, and then put it in the dishes and ate it.

Ren Yaoqi's sleeves are wide-sleeved, and it is not very convenient to move. Apple leaned up and said, "Miss, the slave is waiting for you." ”

Ren Yaochi shook his head, slowly sandwiched a few fish fillets, and rolled up the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand as he practiced calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and made soup with meat.

She started this action with the same elegance as writing and painting, but the action of scalding meat was not rusty than Xiao Jinglin, and she was very comfortable.

Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but stop the movements in her hand and glanced at Ren Yaoqi in surprise.

Ren Yaochi winked at her, and then put the fish meat into his mouth.

When Ren Yaochi went to pick up the meat again, Xiao Jinglin reacted and continued to eat it unwillingly.

Xiao Jinglin's meal was still the same as last time, very fast, which made the people watching couldn't help but increase their appetite.

The two of them were silent, buried themselves in eating, eating profusely and sweating, and were very happy.

When the things on the table were almost eaten, Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but smile at Ren Yaoqi: "I ate really happily this time." ”

Ren Yaoqi smiled: "Thank you, the county lord, who thinks of me every time he eats something delicious." ”

The last time the two met, Xiao Jinglin took her to eat braised donkey meat, and this time she ate the potty she snatched. It's a special experience that is unforgettable.

Xiao Jinglin was in a good mood and talked more: "You are different from them. ”

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What's the different way?" ”

Xiao Jinglin turned her head and thought about it, and frowned a little childishly: "It's very comfortable to eat with you." Fortunately, I called you here today, if it was Xiao Jingxi, he must be more regular than a girl! Let people see that he can be full when he eats. ”

In the face of Xiao Jinglin's complaints, Ren Yaoqi could only pretend not to hear it, although she actually couldn't laugh in her heart.

But she really couldn't imagine Xiao Jingxi's appearance of sweating and eating potholes, she felt that he should not eat, not go to the toilet, and just smell the incense every day.

After the two finished eating, they talked for a while, and Ren Yaoqi suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers and drums on the river not far away, and couldn't help but look out a little strangely.

Xiao Jinglin said: "It's the dragon boat race that is about to start, and our boat will also pass, right?" ”

Ren Yaochi nodded: "It's the first time I've come, so it's good that the county lord is in charge." ”

"Xiao Jinglin." Xiao Jinglin waved her hand and asked the maid to tell the boat lady to row the boat over, and then turned to Ren Yaoqi and said.

Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, nodded with a smile, and said, "When no one is around, I call you Jinglin, you call me Yaoqi, okay?" ”

The corners of Xiao Jinglin's mouth were slightly hooked, and her smile was very light: "Okay." ”

The race course is the same every year, with high platforms built on the shore at the start and end of the race, decorated with red silk and lanterns, and seating tables. After another quarter of an hour of the painting boat, Ren Yaochi saw the high platform on the case.

Xiao Jinglin asked the boat lady to park the painting boat in a position with a good view on the shore, Ren Yaoqi looked out the window, and could see that on the high platform, Old Man Han and an old man of the same age as him were sitting on the top and chatting happily, Old Lady Ren was also on it, but it was not like Old Man Han sitting on the top.
