Chapter 10 Dragon Boat Race

After lunch at noon, Shao Yu slept for a noon nap again, and when the sun was not so hot, he went to the shop with Cui'er to ask Shopkeeper Qiu if the twenty sets of clothes to be used for the dragon boat race had been done.

went out and hired a carriage and went straight to the shop, Shao Yu thought in his heart, there must be a carriage at home, otherwise it is extremely inconvenient to go out, and he has to buy two more maids and a small servant, and hire another person in the kitchen. I thought about things while walking, and soon arrived at the place.

Entering the shop, there were two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls looking at the material and looking at the dress, it should be a maid and a young lady. Later, I fell in love with a brocade and a silk veil. When I asked the price, I felt that it was a bit expensive, so the young lady put it down again and said, "Huan'er, let's go, I don't want to buy it either, and besides, I still have a few sets of clothes to wear." ”

Huan'er said with a look of grievance: "Do you have a new set of clothes?" There are no clothes to change when you go out, so what if you are so economical? She didn't say that you were not worrying day by day, so how could you be worrying about it, Miss? The slave maid saw that the second lady wore new clothes every day. Why don't you see her talking? I'm not even worthy of Miss I'm sorry. Speaking of the girl named Huan'er, her eyes were red.

"Huan'er is less talkative outside." The young lady said and walked out.

As soon as Shao Yu heard it, he knew what was going on, and hurriedly walked over and said: "This girl, please stay, our store is doing activities these days, our fabrics have discounts, these two horses will give you a 20% discount, what do you think of this young lady?" ”

The young lady blushed and said, "Thank you, no need." ”

Shao Yu did not give up: "In fact, in addition to selling cloth materials, our shop also tailor-made ready-to-wear for customers, with novel styles and cheap prices. I wonder if the girl can take a look? ”

The young lady hesitated, and the maid named Huan'er said, "How much silver does it cost to make a set of clothes?" ”

Shao Yu smiled: "It's hard to say, it's cheap for a few hundred wen, expensive for a few taels, and dozens of taels." ”

Shao Yu took the master and servant to the second floor, and hung several sets of the most popular styles this year on the wall, and the young lady was immediately attracted, there were wide-sleeved liuxian skirts, narrow-sleeved liuxian skirts, soft smoke Luo gauze skirts that rained over the sky, Yuehua skirts, pomegranate skirts, full-breasted skirts, etc., and later the girl made two pieces, a wide-sleeved liuxian skirt, a Yuehua skirt, Shao Yu gave her a 20% discount, a total of five taels and thirteen dollars. After paying the money and writing a note, Shao Yu asked her to get the goods in two or three days. The master and servant left happily.

The shopkeeper Qiu gave a thumbs up on the side and said, "Miss, it's really amazing, Qiu has been taught." ”

"When a guest comes, as long as he has the intention of buying, we can't let him go home empty-handed."

"By the way, Shopkeeper Qiu, I asked Xiu Niang to make twenty sets of clothes for dragon boat races two days ago, are they ready? It's going to be used the day after tomorrow, and it's best to do it today, if it's not suitable, you can still come and modify. ”

"Miss, it's done, the embroidery girls worked overnight."

"Okay, the wages will be paid next month, and the embroidery girls will be rewarded." Shao Yu said.

While talking here, Ah Shi over there had already packed his clothes and handed them to Cui'er. Out of the shop, Shao Yu looked at the sun, there was still an hour before the mountain set, and said to Cui'er: "This is quite close to Daming Lake, let's go to Daming Lake for a walk." I haven't been there for a long time, and there is a pastry shop there, and the pancakes in it are particularly delicious. Let's go, it's okay this time, girl, I'll take you to play. ”

The shop is about 500 meters away from Daming Lake, and the two of them walked there, and they arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. In fact, she had also been to Daming Lake in her previous life, but now she sees Daming Lake again, but everything is wrong. Shao Yu felt like a dream, she just had been to this place in her dream, and now she woke up from the dream.

The large green lotus leaves in the lake are like jasper plates, crowded one by one, and the pink lotus flowers are waiting to be released, exuding bursts of fragrance, like a fairy pavilion.

The water of the lake is so clear that you can see the fish and sand at the bottom of the lake, and the green water surface is as green as a piece of jasper. In the sunlight, it looks sparkling. The breeze blows, creating ripples. There are many dragon boats in the lake, and everyone is stepping up their practice, so they won the first place on the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Every time I come, I think Daming Lake is so beautiful, go Cui'er, let's go buy food, and go home after buying."

Shao Yu specially dressed up today, combed the flying fairy bun, and wore a purple soft smoke Luo Sa flower skirt. But I don't dare to show my face too much, after all, there are still many restrictions on women in this era, so I wear a hat and don't squint when I walk.

When passing by a tea shop, someone called her, and Shao Yu looked back and saw that it was his brother Pei Shaoli and several of his brothers, among which Xiao Zhan and He Yunzhi were naturally indispensable.

He Yunzhi smiled: "What is Sister Yueniang doing when she comes out?" Walking in such a hurry, my brothers are here, and they didn't even notice it. ”

Xiao Zhan only drank tea expressionlessly on the side and didn't speak, but since he knew that he saved his father, Shao Yu's impression of him has changed a lot.

"Hello Brother Xiao, Hello Third Brother He, I just came out of the shop, buy some pastries and go home. It's not early, don't dare to delay too long. Shao Yu lifted the curtains on both sides of the hat and said crisply.

Pei Shaoli said: "Sister, then go back as soon as you finish buying, I won't go back for dinner today." ”

Shao Yu nodded, and suddenly thought that the clothes for the game were just there, so he said.

"By the way, brother, the clothes are ready, here in Cui'er. You can try it out, and if it's not suitable, you can modify it. ”

"Brother Xiao, Third Brother He, brother, I'm going to buy pastries, it's not early." said that he was about to leave after saluting Xiao Zhan and He Yunzhi, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Xiao Zhan's dark and bottomless eyes, which seemed to have magnetic power, making Shao Yu unable to avoid it, but he wanted to run away.

Shao Yu panicked, pursed his lips and smiled at Xiao Zhan, and hurriedly left with Cui'er. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help patting his chest with his hand, secretly scolding himself for not being a weapon, and the number of years added together in two lifetimes was okay as his mother, but he was actually suppressed. But then again, Xiao Zhan has both a bad aura and an innate nobility, and when mixed together, the aura is very powerful, making it impossible to look at it directly, so every time Lu Luo sees her, she is also scared.

In a trance, it was the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shao Yu got up early in the morning, and today his brother Pei Shaoli was going to participate in the dragon boat race, and he had already left.

Although Daddy Peizhong's injury has been scarred, he can't walk, so he can only stay at home. Mama Zhang and Mama Wang are old, they don't like to join in the fun, they stay at home to watch the house, and the rest, Shao Yu gave them half a day off, Ah Jiu, Liu Er hastily ate breakfast and ran out to watch the excitement.

Lian'er also wanted to go, but Mama Zhang didn't let her go out, saying that her face when she went out was going to cause trouble.

Shao Yu accompanied his father Pei Zhong to eat breakfast, and Pei Zhong said: "Let Cui'er take you and Lian'er out to play, there is a dragon boat race in Daming Lake today, and it is lively." Let's all go out and play. Early in the morning, Pothos sent someone to spread the word that she had chartered a private room on the third floor of the cyclamen and asked you to see it. ”

"There are dragon boat races every year, and it's not too late to watch them next year. Daddy, your leg is injured this year and you can't walk, so your daughter is at home with you, or you will be so lonely alone! ”

"Oh, no, the pothos sent someone to call you early in the morning, and the little girl was disappointed if she didn't go. I'm not lonely, I can read a book, and I'm relieved to have Cui'er with you, so let's go quickly. "Cui'er and her younger brother Ah Jiu are both practitioners, and their martial arts are not weak, although Cui'er is a girl, but ordinary five or six people are not her opponents at all.

But there are many people on the street today, and if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, so Shao Yu changed into men's clothes, and let Lian'er also change into men's clothes, in order to be more like men, the two of them also tied their chests.

The three of them went out and went straight to the cyclamen, and the streets were really crowded with people, and it was very lively. When I arrived at the place, Monroe and Luluo were already there, and they were also wearing men's clothes, drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

As soon as Luluo saw Shao Yu, she smiled and said: "Sister Yueniang, you are also wearing men's clothes, this is the same as what heroes see, why are you here so late, the dragon boat race has begun." It's far away, and I can't see it clearly, but I know that my brother is wearing a black turban and red clothes, which is very recognizable. ”

Shao Yu smiled: "Who is the first now." ”

Meng Luo said: "I don't know, brother, they are currently fifth, and there is not much hope of winning the lottery." ”

Shao Yu gave Cui'er fifty taels of silver to bet, buy the Yamen team to win, forget if you lose, you can multiply it several times if you win. Because she always felt that Xiao Zhan and her brother Pei Shaoli couldn't lose.

As soon as I saw Shao Yu betting, the green pothos was also eager to try, and later took fifty taels, buying his brother He Yunzhi to win, so far, there are not many people who buy the Yamen team to win, and the people always feel that a group of sons and brothers are pampered and pampered The game is not good at all.

Several people were talking and chatting, and heard exclamations from downstairs, it turned out that Xiao Zhan and his brother had rowed from the fifth position just now to the third, and now they are getting closer and closer to the second, and they are getting closer and closer to the color mark, and now their brother Pei Shao is like an arrow from their dragon boat, unstoppable, all the way forward. The exclamations below became louder and louder, and in the midst of the exclamations, the Yamen team got the lottery bid and won the first place.

The green pothos was about to jump up happily, "Sister Yueniang, how can you guess so accurately, I'm going to get rich, hahahaha." ”

"Sister, be careful." Although Meng Luo said this, a smile appeared on her face.

According to the rules of the competition, the winning team had to row a boat along the lake and receive congratulations from the people. The people by the lake were happy and scolded, but when the girls and daughters-in-law saw three such handsome young men standing in front of the dragon boat, they immediately blushed and replied shyly. Some of them boldly threw the lotus flowers they picked into the dragon boat.

Shao Yu could see clearly upstairs, and followed the coaxing and whistle, who knew that Xiao Zhan and He Yunzhi looked up at her together, and she was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth, and He Yunzhi also waved at her. Both the pothos and Monroe laughed.

Shao Yu asked Cui'er to bet fifty taels, but the result was to lose ten to one, and she actually won five hundred taels, Lian'er was dumbfounded, and even the Mengluo sisters didn't expect to win so much silver.
