Fang Zi'an sighed and finished eating a bowl of gnocchi, Chunni was originally going to cook a new bowl for Fang Zi'an, but Fang Zi'an is not the kind of person who is picky, and the taste of eating a bowl of gnocchi with this spicy noodle is not much worse.

After eating the noodles, Fang Zi'an got up and said: "Uncle Zhang, Miss Chunni, today's Dragon Boat Festival, there is a dragon boat meeting in the city, let's not talk about the details of opening the store today, I'll go and have a good time." I'll come back to you tomorrow to discuss the specifics. The two of you will discuss in advance what necessary preparations are needed, and then tell me when the time comes. You are still experts in these things, and I don't know anything. ”

Lao Zhangtou hurriedly said: "That's, that's, the son is out of money, how dare you let the son worry." Go back and Nill and I will make a list, and then discuss it with Childe. Yes, today's Dragon Boat Festival, the city is very lively, and the son goes to play. ”

Chuniel fanned her eyes and said, "Dad...... I also want to see dragon boat racing. Why don't we take a break sooner? ”

Lao Zhangtou reprimanded: "How can that be done? How can business not be done? ”

Chunnier puffed out her mouth and muttered: "People haven't watched dragon boat races for several years, and I can only watch other people's festivals." ”

Lao Zhangtou felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, since Chunni's mother died a few years ago, this Nier followed her to set up a stall in the wind and rain to make a living, and suffered a lot. She has no ability, and Nier can't even satisfy her wish to watch a dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival? That's just too much.

"That's it, let's go watch the dragon boat race, there is a dad watching the noodle stall, and my dad can cook noodles. However, if you are a girl's family alone to watch the dragon boat race, your father is not at ease. There are a lot of people watching the dragon boat race, and there are everyone. Do you still remember the incident when the daughter-in-law of the Li family was torn off her earrings while watching the dragon boat race last year? Bloody from the tear. Daddy is a little worried. Lao Zhangtou said.

"Isn't this a square son? I'll go with Fang Gongzi. Chuniel pointed at Fang Zi'an.

Lao Zhang looked at Fang Zi'an and said, "It's not good for you to trouble Fang Gongzi." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "It's not much trouble, it's really inconvenient for Miss Chunni to go alone." Uncle Zhang trusted me, so he asked Chunni to go with me. By the way, after watching the dragon boat race, let's see if there is a suitable shop along the street, and if you find a suitable one, you can set it. ”

Lao Zhang slapped his head and said, "That's great." Fang Gongzi is still thoughtful and does not delay in getting down to business. He turned his head to Chunni and said, "Nier, you go with Fang Gongzi, don't worry about playing, it's important to get down to business." Also, don't make trouble for Fang Gongzi, you know? ”

Chuniel was overjoyed, and even agreed, her face flushed with joy. At that moment, I took off my apron, washed my hands, and ran into the alley.

Fang Zi'an asked in wonder, "Where is Miss Chunni going?" ”

Chunni said: "I'll go back and change my clothes and comb my hair." Otherwise, it will be a loss of child's face. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "What's to be ashamed of?" It's just a dragon boat, so why bother. Walk quickly, the sun is getting high, and I can't see it for a while. ”

Chunni had to turn around when she heard this, but she also took a look at herself by the basin and cut her hair. Lao Zhangtou was shocked when he watched from the side, and said in his heart: This girl seems to have really moved her mind, and she is really a woman. It's a pity that Fang Zi'an may not be able to take a fancy to our Nier, otherwise it would be a good marriage. Fang Zi'an is a talent, and he knows righteousness, Nier, I'm afraid it's wishful thinking.

……

The sun rose two poles, and the wide royal roads on both sides of the middle river were already crowded with people. In fact, in addition to Zhonghe, there are dragon boat races in the forks of the West River and the East River of Lin'an City, but the first choice of the spectators is obviously the Zhonghe River. Because this is a dragon boat race held by the imperial court, and the current saints and civil and military ministers will also attend, of course, you have to come and see the style of the official family.

Fang Zi'an and Chun Nier were closely interrogated when they entered Zhonghe Imperial Road from the entrance of Hengjie. The soldiers and horses in front of the temple have set up checkpoints at all the forks, and the occasions that the saints want to attend today are naturally well guarded and not leaky. Moreover, the number of people in Zhonghe Royal Street is also limited, Fang Zi'an and Chun Nier came relatively late, and they were almost denied entry, because the east and west royal roads were basically full. According to well-informed sources, there are nearly 200,000 people present today.

Fang Zi'an took Chunnier all the way to the south side of the Zhong'an Bridge, because according to well-informed sources, the Zhong'an Bridge is the starting point of the dragon boat race, and the saints and ministers will arrive there. In order to have a better viewing experience, Fang Zi'an took Chun Nier all the way over. Along the way, people were crowded one by one, Chunnier was single, but fortunately, Fang Zi'an escorted her, squeezed a road with a strong and powerful body, and finally used her arms to enclose a small safe area next to the bridge railing, so that Chunni could gain a foothold.

The long streets on both sides of Zhong'an Bridge have indeed set up color platforms, and there are hundreds of soldiers who are closely guarded, and it does look like a big man is coming. The people flocked to the city, and the soldiers who had been maintaining the scene on the long street were given orders to whip their horses and drive them back. The scene was chaotic for a moment.

"It's good that we squeezed in, otherwise I'm afraid we'll be whipped." Chunni panted.

Fang Zi'an nodded and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that Chunni's expression was different, and he hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?" Why is your face so red? ”

Chunni's face turned even redder, and she turned her head and didn't answer, thinking: You almost held me in your arms, this posture is really embarrassing, but you came to ask me. It turned out that Fang Zi'an held the railing with both hands and arched his body to resist the wave of squeezing force behind him, opening up a space for Chunni to stand. Although the body did not touch, this posture was almost the posture of wrapping her arms around Chunni, Fang Zi'an's own attention was focused on resisting the squeezing force behind her, but in Chunni's feelings, she was protected by a pair of powerful arms. Sniffing the man's scent on Fang Zi'an's body at the end of his nose, how could he not blush and heartbeat.

Fang Zi'an saw that Chunni didn't speak, and thought that she was uncomfortable, and was about to ask, when suddenly the people around her were in a commotion, and someone shouted excitedly.

"It's coming! Here it comes! It seems to be coming! ”

Fang Zi'an and Chunni hurriedly turned their heads to look, but saw the horses' hooves on the long street on the east side thundering, and the crowd was in commotion. On the south side of the royal street, a group of cavalry with bright armor galloped in the distance, and the long whip in their hands crackled, and the people on the royal street cried wolf and hugged their heads and scurried. Behind the cavalry were the running infantry, who quickly set up a cordon along the gap cleared by the cavalry, and lined up side by side on both sides of the road to block the civilians. An empty passage several feet wide soon formed in the middle of the royal road.

"These soldiers are really so hateful, why do they have to beat the people with a whip and speak well? Look at the old man, his head was covered in blood. Is this beating us people as livestock? What is the difference between these people and the ruffians on the streets? Chunni frowned and whispered.

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly, this Chunni girl has a natural sense of justice, but unfortunately, isn't it just treating the people as livestock these days?

"It may be that the saint is coming, so the officers and soldiers clean up the road. Oh, how can such an act be called rejoicing with the people? Labor and money, tossing people is almost the same. Fang Zi'an sighed.

Chunni looked up at Fang Zi'an and said, "Young Master Fang, if you win the imperial examination and become a big official one day, you won't bully the common people." ”

Fang Zi'an looked down at Chunni's red fluttering delicate and round girl's face, and said with a smile: "Do you really think I can be a big official?" Is the imperial examination that easy? ”

Chunni nodded vigorously and said, "I believe it, I really believe ......"

Chunni's words were suddenly interrupted by shouts from the street.

"The official car is coming, no one is allowed to make noise, listen to the order, and do not lose the etiquette! The official car is coming, and no one is allowed to make noise and noise, listen to orders, and do not lose etiquette. ”

The voice of the shouter was shrill and piercing, the body was fat and the face was white and beardless, and he trotted past on his horse, shouting incessantly. Look at his clothes, the palace attendant at that time.

When the people heard this, they all looked in the direction of the long street on the south side, and the attendant shouted, the car of the Great Song official should really be coming. Many people have begun to straighten their clothes, and some have even fallen to their knees and waited.

After the tea time, a team of chariots and horses came slowly from the end of the long street, and the cavalry guarding them were dressed in golden armor, holding golden melons and golden hammers, and riding a high-headed horse of Yishui, which was really magnificent. The dragon flag is fluttering, and the canopy is bright. On the tall imperial chariot pulled by eight horses, four tall guards holding swords in their hands stood at the four corners of the chariot, and under the Huangluo umbrella in the middle, a man in a yellow robe and a handsome appearance sat at a high distance, looking forward to it, with a leisurely expression.

"The Holy One has arrived! Kneel, salute! Someone shouted in a loud voice.

On both sides of the street, on the railing bridge, the black-pressed people hula and knelt down one after another. Men and women, young and old, women and children, involuntarily bowed to the man under the canopy at this moment.

Fang Zi'an was looking at himself, although he had been here for three years, he was still not used to bowing to people. To him, the man in the chariot was just a man, and he wasn't ready to bow down to the strange man.

"Young Master Fang, kneel down quickly." A small hand pulled the hem of Fang Zi'an's robe hard, Fang Zi'an looked down, Chunni was looking up at him with a panicked face.

Fang Zi'an sighed secretly and had to fall to his knees like everyone else, he knew the truth of following the customs. No matter what you think in your heart, when you come to this era, you have to follow the rules here and adapt to the rules here. If you can't adapt to the rules of this era, you will be eliminated. Formal submission is nothing.

"Let's all be flat, no need to be polite, no need to be polite." The man sitting under the umbrella of Huang Luo smiled and waved his hand. He is Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou, the supreme ruler of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Flat! Shane! The loud voice sounded again.

"Thank you, Holy Lord!" The people shouted in unison, and then they all stood up.

The chariot drove slowly through the streets, followed by dozens of gorgeous chariots, among which next to the chariot was a large black chariot drawn by two horses. The four corners of the black velvet carport are red and fluttering in the wind, which is extraordinarily gorgeous.
