Chapter 66: On the Anlan Pavilion
Zhen Zhen and his mother sat in the carriage and came all the way along the Yongan River, which was really lively. The banks of the river are crowded with people, colorful flags are flying, and the dragon boats waiting for racing in the shallow water on the riverside are connected end to end, and you can't see the end at a glance. On each dragon boat were twenty people, eighteen sailors, a helmsman, and a drummer. They are all dressed in short gowns and waistbands and knee-length shorts, but the colors and decorations of each costume are different.
Before the game began, the drummers were cheering for the drums, and the sailors' trumpets were shouting loudly.
It's a time for men to openly show off the beauty of their muscular strength, and it's no wonder girls flock to it. The carriages of the families have blocked the roads. Anlan Pavilion was not far away, but the carriage could only move forward at a turtle speed. Zhen Zhen and his mother got out of the car and walked, and Hongyun and Cuizhu walked one after the other. Zhen Zhen's Yuehua skirt was very long, almost to the instep, and she walked cautiously to minimize dust contamination. The steps on her head swayed back and forth, reminding her to walk slower and more steady.
There were already a lot of people watching the dragon boat outside the Anlan Pavilion, and it was impossible for anyone to enter through the sergeant standing guard without an invitation.
Zhen Zhen found that the four of them were the only ones who walked through the crowd to Anlan Pavilion. Someone made an impatient voice: "What to squeeze!" There is no place ahead for a long time! ”
Zhen Zhen took back the invitation in the sergeant's surprised gaze, and the group of four followed the sergeant's guidance and walked inside. A sergeant hurried in to report it.
When Zhen Zhen and the others walked to the pavilion door, the Duchess of Lu Guo Chen was already waiting.
Chen took them to a group of ladies and young ladies and said to the Zhen family's mother and daughter, "These two Qin family and Zhongyi Bo's wife Zhao from the Wei State Mansion saw them in my mansion last time."
Chen said to everyone again: "This is Mrs. Zhen and Miss Zhen, the chief bookkeeper of the country. Please ask Sister Qin and Sister Zhao to help me say hello. It's time for someone on the dock again. ”
Qin said, "You go." We're born and cooked once, and it's fine. ”
Then, the Qin family introduced the people around him, including the Duchess of Qi Guo Wang and Miss, the Duchess of Zhenguo Hou and her daughter-in-law, and Wen Zhenghou's wife Li and Miss.
Zhen Zhen's "hard practice" for several days finally came in handy, she was not in a hurry, and calmly blessed the people present, feeling that her movements were in place, and her expression was confident and friendly. Everyone present returned the salute.
Zhao took Mrs. Zhen's hand and said, "Let's go upstairs together, the scenery upstairs is good."
When we arrived at the third floor, Zhao said: "The third floor is the most spacious, the further up you go, the smaller it gets, let's sit here first, and then it's not too late to go up later." Zhen Zhen noticed that there were more than a dozen people who went upstairs together, some of whom were already out of breath.
There were some long wooden benches set up here, and a few people were already sitting there. Zhao brought Zhen Zhen's mother and daughter over and introduced them to both parties, the other party was the Korean Duchess Xiang and her daughter-in-law, and the Marquis of Zhenhai, Mrs. Zhou and Miss.
Old Madam Zhen said, "Let's sit here for a while." Zhen Zhen nodded and sat down, next to her happened to be the young lady of the Hou family in Zhenhai, who looked similar to Zhen Zhen's age.
The other party was also looking at Zhen Zhen, and took the initiative to introduce himself: "I'm Feng Qian, fifteen years old." What is your name? ”
"Zhen Zhen. Fourteen. ”
"I didn't see you get off the boat, how did you get here?"
"Take the carriage."
"Isn't that a big traffic jam?"
"yes, I almost didn't make it. You're coming by boat? ”
"That's right, there is a dock here in Anlan Pavilion, and it is very convenient to take a boat here from the upstream Mulongdu."
No wonder there was no carriage outside the Anlan Pavilion.
"I just arrived in the capital, and I didn't know that I could still take a boat."
"Don't you have a boat at home?" Feng Qian asked very strangely.
"Nope." Could it be that everyone on Anlan Pavilion has dragon boats to participate?
"Then wait for the dragon boat race, where do you look?"
"I'll just watch a hilarity."
"Then look at our Zhenhai Feng family." Feng Qian said proudly.
Zhao heard it on the side, and hit Feng Qian and said, "What year is it not the dragon boat of the Lu State Mansion to win the championship?" Miss Zhen is a guest of the Lu Guo Mansion, so naturally she wants to help the Lu Guo Mansion. ”
Feng Qian said, "Aren't you going to cheer for your Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion?"
Zhao stiffened his face and said, "It doesn't matter who I help, what I want to say is that I didn't ask Miss Zhen to help me."
Feng Qian's face instantly became a little ugly.
Zhao smiled and said, "Oh, tease you!" Miss Zhen is an atmospheric person at first glance, and she will definitely help cheer! ”
Zhen Zhen hurriedly said on the donkey: "I will definitely help!"
Feng Qian's face looked a little better, and she pulled out a smile and said to Zhen Zhen, "You don't even know those ships, do you?" I'll show you. ”
Zhen Zhen followed her to the railing, and when she looked down, she could see a pier paved with bluestone slabs. It happened that a two-story boat carved with a dragon and a phoenix docked.
The people on the dock below knelt down, and even if Feng Qian and Zhen Zhen had never seen the world, they could think that this was the ship of the emperor's relatives.
Sure enough, a big red figure appeared on the bow of the ship, and his eyes happened to look towards An Lan Pavilion.
When Zhen Zhen met his eyes and recognized the other party as Feng Hanzhao in court clothes, Feng Qian dragged her down and squatted behind the railing. The eyes of the two could still see every move on the pier through the hollow carving of the railing.
Zhen Zhen felt that Feng Hanzhao's gaze stayed in her direction for a while, and she even felt the warm current in his eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Feng Hanzhao came down one after another after a number of people, including female dependents and children. There were thirty or forty people in their group, and they followed an official towards the viewing platform.
Zhen Zhen gossiped and wanted to see what Feng Hanzhao's wife Wang looked like, but the makeup of several female dependents was very formal and grand, and they all followed Feng Hanzhao, and she couldn't tell the difference for a while.
After they walked by, Feng Qian whispered, "That was the King of Qingjiang of the Prince's Mansion just now, Feng Hanzhao. Last year, he was the one who came to preside over the dragon boat race. ”
Zhen Zhen didn't want to explain that she had seen Feng Hanzhao, so she asked, "Are those female relatives his wives and concubines?"
Feng Qian said: "I just entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the queen during the New Year, and I have seen it from afar, but I don't know it very well."
At this time, a smaller boat docked at the dock, and Chen led people to greet him. Feng Qian looked at it and said, "This is the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Zhang, and her two daughters."
"Do you know all the guests who are coming today?"
"Pretty much. However, there are some new changes every year. Some got married, some married in, and some reappeared after returning to Beijing. Aren't you the new guy this year? ”
At this time, the drums by the river were loud, and Feng Qian pointed to a boat in the distance and said, "The second one over there wearing red clothes is my family's dragon boat."
There is more than one red dress, and the distance is far away, so I can't see any fame, but Zhen Zhen can't really see it, and he also responds: "Well, I saw it."
"There are a total of 36 boats in the dragon boat race, divided into six groups, and the first place in each group will compete again to determine the final winner." Feng Qian said.
Zhen Zhen nodded to show his understanding---- the ancients did not have a watch to keep accurate time, so they could only use this relatively fair method.
