Chapter 27: Overboard

The custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty is to dry clothes at home every time on the Shangsi Festival.

Originally, it was just because in the spring it was necessary to dry the winter fur clothes and put them in boxes, and then take out the thin clothes to be worn in the spring, wash them, and dry them, ready to wear them next.

It is said that drying clothes on this day of the festival can prevent clothes from being eaten by insects, and over time it has evolved into a fixed custom.

Zhaoyi is full of people, and there are many heroes, and gradually this Shangsi Festival drying clothes has become a means of showing off wealth and fighting wealth.

On this day, the courtyard of the family is hung with silk and satin, which is as brilliant as clouds.

Zhong Manlang's family has nothing to dry on the four walls, but he is free and witty by nature, so he simply hung up his pants with the winter melon gourd, and the three old pants were displayed in the wind, attracting everyone's attention.

Now the Duanyang Festival is the same, his sparse little broken fishing boat is sandwiched between the big boats of many wealthy families, but he doesn't feel anything at all, he still drinks and eats dried loaches leisurely, and his interest is not reduced at all.

Hearing the winter melon and gourd complaining, Zhong Manlang smiled and said, "You two foolish things!" I managed to get this boat to take you two down the river, and I'm still chirping there. I don't want to think about how rare this opportunity is, how have you ever seen the skirts of these officials and noblewomen on weekdays? Now that you have this opportunity, why don't you enjoy it to the fullest? ”

Their small fishing boat was at least five or six feet shorter than the other people's boats, and it was really a beautiful sight to look at.

The Yonghe River is crowded with boats, and the most eye-catching is the Wei family's boat. The seven young ladies of her family are famous, and now they travel together, and both men and women, young and old, can't help but take a few more looks.

Today, the little prince of the Wei family is also on the ship.

This child was born extremely beautiful, and even ordinary little girls were not as handsome as him.

But those who know the details know that this child is like a puppet. Since he was a child, he didn't cry or make trouble, but no one has ever seen him laugh.

He listened to Wei Lanpei more, but no one ever listened to him speak on his own initiative.

Sometimes he slept all day, or stared at one place for hours.

Some people say that the child's soul was incomplete when he was reincarnated, and most of them were going to die young.

Now he is six years old, and he is still unable to eat and go to the toilet independently.

The Wei family has never stopped seeking medical advice for so many years, so much so that all the Fu Shui witchcraft has been tried, but none of them have been effective.

At this moment, the child was leaning against the window, quietly looking at the water, motionless.

Wei Yining took a sip of tea, she was a little tired of the lively scene outside the window, her temperament has been like this since she was a child, she likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, and she never likes to join in the fun.

However, the two IKEA sisters were lying on the side of the boat and chattering enough, without Bao by their side, and they didn't need to look at Wei Yiwan's face from time to time, so they were naturally more comfortable than usual.

"It's a pity that I didn't see the Yan family's boat," Wei Yijia said with some disappointment: "I still saw several sons of the Yan family during the Shangyuan Festival!" ”

"Alas! It's okay if you can't see it," Wei Yishu smiled bitterly and said, "So as not to give birth to wishful thinking." ”

The crown of the children of the Yan family is covered with Jinghua, which is not something that the concubines of the princely family like them can climb.

"I haven't seen the ship of the Feng family, and his family's eldest man Erlang is also a talent." We're not attached to one family.

The Feng family she is talking about is the loyal and brave family, and the two brothers Feng Yuchao and Feng Yuduo are also the merry children in the capital.

At this time, there was a whining outside, and it turned out that the river below was somehow blocked, and the boats had to stop.

Wei Yining frowned slightly, and among the many ships, she noticed a hint of something unusual.

There was a medium-sized boat in the direction of the Wei family's boat, which was nothing, but the doors and windows of this ship were all covered by dark blue curtains, and no one was seen entering or leaving, nor was there any rowing captain or boatwoman.

It stands to reason that the people who come out today are of course here to see the scenery, and even those who are drinking and having fun in the boat will lift the curtains.

After all, it's May, and if you stay in the cabin, you're sure to feel stuffy.

Wei Yining only felt that this ship was unusual, and there must be some ulterior secrets in such a secret.

"It's really annoying, a few miles further walk is the swallow slope, where the wisteria flowers bloom the best, it's a pity not to look at it!" Liu was holding his son Fu'an in his arms, and Xiao Chang's face was impatient.

She is only twenty-four or five this year, and she is very favored by Wei Zongyong, plus she has both children and daughters, and her waist is straight, which is very pampered and arrogant, but she is as obedient as a cat in front of Wei Zongyong, which is also one of the reasons why she is favored.

A low roar came from nowhere, Wei Yining got up in horror and said, "Everyone, come into the cabin!" There are tigers! ”

Everyone looked at her inexplicably, Wei Yimi was not angry, and said unhappily: "Who are you scaring about?" When this is the place?! It's not a wild place like Lao Linghe. ”

Wei Yiwu and Wei Yijia were already laughing, holding their stomachs and saying, "Oh, fifth sister, you are really joking!" If you want to scare us at this time, you can't say that there are tigers! You might as well say that there is a dragon in this water! ”

Before the two of them could finish speaking, screams suddenly rang out one after another outside.

It turned out that in the boat that Wei Yining thought was strange, a colorful tiger suddenly rushed out, with white forehead and eyes, full of wildness.

Because the ships were blocked there and could not move, all the people on board were in chaos.

In addition, there are more women and fewer men who come to play, and it is even more terrifying.

Wei Yining and the people on the boat were all frightened except for her, and the few people who had reprimanded and laughed at her just now all collapsed on the boat at this time, unable to stand up at all.

In the confusion, I only heard a plop, and someone fell into the water.

Wei Yining saw that it was a little boy in a red gauze robe, and the child obviously didn't know how to water, so he sank without two flutters.

He fell off the Wei family's boat, but because the Wei family was traveling with women, even the boating was the boat lady instead of the captain.

At this moment the tiger also jumped into the river with a thud, and the tiger knew how to swim towards the child with its claws.

Several sisters of the Wei family cried and cried, but they were all at a loss.

"This tiger must be hungry and wants to eat that child!" Someone shouted, "Run near the shore!" The evil tiger hurts people, what kind of old and young! ”

Wei Yining picked up a knife to cut melons, and plunged into the water, and the Wei family only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and Wei Yining was gone.

If it weren't for the fact that her shoes had been left on the board, no one would have believed that she had just jumped into the water.

"Are the five girls crazy?!" Mrs. Zhu trembled and said, "Why did she jump into the water?" ”

People rushed to the shore, and the Wei family was still crying helplessly.

The tiger was about to swim to the place where the child had fallen into the water, and Wei Lanpei rolled her eyes and passed out completely.
