Chapter 261: Gambling
Just as he was saying to go find someone, they came back.
Chu Ningqin smiled and rushed towards Xi Feng, "Sister Ah Feng, you're here." ”
He said, "You came so late, I specially urged Grandma to come over early, I wanted to talk to you early and go out to play, but I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you haven't come yet, fortunately, I have my second cousin and third cousin with me, otherwise, I will be bored to death." ”
Only then did Xi Feng know that not only did the second wife of the Chu family not come, but also Miss Chu and Miss Chu didn't come.
Today's dragon boat race, it stands to reason that the second wife and Miss Chu will not be absent, but she didn't see these three people.
Xi Feng wanted to ask Chu Ningqin, but she was afraid that Chu Lao'an would be too concerned when she heard it, so she suppressed the doubt in her heart and heard Chu Ningqin say that she was watching juggling below just now.
"Such a big circle of fire, the little girl who is a performer rushed over and turned over from the circle of fire, not a single hair burned, but it was really amazing." Chu Ningqin praised with a sigh of relief.
Here, Xi Feng accompanied Chu Ningqin to speak, and on the other side, Chu Lao'an asked Ruan, "Where did you buy the new house, not far from Chu Mansion?" ”
"Not far, in Sanning Lane, take a carriage to Chu Mansion, and it will be a stick of incense."
"That's good, if you have free time in the future, you often take Ah Feng to Chu Mansion to visit the door, and I haven't seen that girl for a long time, I still think strangely in my heart."
"I was negligent, after the lecture was over, I should have taken Ah Feng to Chu Mansion to ask Lao An for peace."
The conversation between the two sides was very lively, and Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chu San failed to interject a word, until the sound of gongs and drums came from the Grand Canal, and everyone closed their mouths and turned their eyes to the Grand Canal.
I saw that on the surface of the Grand Canal, there were ten golden dragon boats, which were full of sailors and helmsmen, and there was a drummer standing next to the dragon's head, beating gongs and drums vigorously.
The drums stirred people's hearts, and the sailors shouted and sang, and they were lively and excited.
Chu Ningqin muttered excitedly, "It's started, Grandma, Auntie, Sister Feng, it's time to start, our Chu family's dragon boat will definitely be the first this year, and it will take the lead." ”
He muttered again, "I was downstairs just now, and someone started the game, but I paid two hundred taels of silver to buy the Chu family's dragon boat." ”
When Xi Feng heard this, her eyes lit up, yes, why did she forget, every year in the dragon boat race, there will be people who open a gambling game to buy wins and losers.
And she has lived two lifetimes, remembering whose dragon boat has won in the past ten years, this is a good opportunity to make money.
Absolutely 10 bets and 10 wins.
Xi Feng immediately beckoned Su Ping to come forward, and gave her an order to her, Su Ping nodded and went down.
It didn't take long for the dragon boat race to begin.
Everyone stared excitedly at the ten dragon boats on the river, and Chu Ningqin shouted even more, "Come on, come on, come on, Uncle He, come on, come on, big cow come on......"
Uncle He is the drummer of the Chu family's dragon boat, and Da Niu is the helmsman, both of them are from the Chu family's shipyard, and they have also participated in the dragon boat race for many years.
The little girl's face was full of excitement, shouting, jumping at the same time, and almost stepping on Xi Feng's feet.
And Xiao Ah Yun, who was sitting on the other side, was also excited with a little face, staring at the dragon boat on the river without blinking, and pulling Ruan's sleeve and asking, "Ah Niang, who do you say will win?" ”
The dragon boat on the river is one step ahead of the Xu family for the time being.
Ruan Shi looked at it, shook his head and said, "Until the last moment, no one knows who wins and who loses." ”
