Chapter 170: Dragon Boat Festival
Through this period of observation, as well as Mu Zuo's behavior of pleading for the Yin family from time to time, Xie Yan naturally knew what kind of character the Yin family was, he nodded, said "can" and walked out of the kitchen.
After Mu Zuo came back, knowing that Yin asked Xie Yan, who had already entered the kitchen, to wait for the zongzi to be cooked before breakfast, closed his eyes, and stroked his forehead, Yin looked at her husband like this, and was a little nervous, "I...... Did you say the wrong thing again? ”
"It's okay, I'll go find Childe, you go down to the bowl of meat and bone noodles first." Mu Zuo said and went to Xie Yan's house to find someone.
After Song Xiaochi got up and took care of himself, he saw that Xie Yan had finished eating a large bowl of meat and bone noodles.
"Coming back so early?" Song Xiaochi asked, his eyes swept over the meat and bone noodles that had already been seen at the bottom of the bowl, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you go last night?"
According to Song Xiaochi's understanding of Xie Yan, unless he didn't eat the night before, or went out at night and didn't have a normal rest, he wouldn't be so eager to have breakfast early in the morning, since he went back to the hospital, he would definitely have to wait for him to use it together.
"No, I'm hungry." Xie Yan said.
Song Xiaochi glanced at him, nodded, and didn't ask much, there are many people here and it is not a place to talk.
"Hey, today's dragon boat race, I heard that the governor is coming, Ah Yan, isn't it?"
Cheng Shenyi took a zongzi and held it with his left and right hands, wanting to cool it down a little, and asked Xie Yan while shaking the zongzi.
Xie Yan nodded, "How do you know?" ”
"Listen to what Uncle Shao said, Uncle Shao said that Maoyuan Mansion also held dragon boat races every year during the Dragon Boat Festival every year, but it was not as large as this year, at most six to eight dragon boat teams were formed before, but this year twelve dragon boat teams were formed, if it wasn't for the fear that the Furong River was not wide enough, I am afraid that there would be a few more, it was because Governor Hu happened to inspect Maoyuan Mansion during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, in order to give the governor a good impression that Maoyuan Mansion was prosperous and prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the government paid special attention to dragon boat races this year."
Governor Hu, named Hu Bai, is a member of the second grade, inspecting the achievements of local officials, people's livelihood, border conditions and many other matters in Chaohuai Mansion, Closed City, Maoyuan Mansion, and Shaode Mansion.
Governor Hu has a very good reputation among the people, and many people say that Governor Hu is a generation of clean officials who can make decisions for the people.
Therefore his coming was welcomed by the people.
Cheng Shenyi was also excited to see the Qing official praised by everyone, and had already asked Cheng Lao for leave for this day, Cheng Lao also agreed, Song Xiaochi originally asked Cheng Lao to watch the dragon boat race together, but Cheng Lao refused, saying that he was old, and he had a headache from such a lively scene, so it was better to stay in the hospital to see people, and said that there will be thousands of empty alleys today, and many hospitals will probably be closed.
Sang Qiuyan didn't say no, since she left, she has been more and more comfortable in the hospital, and the things in the hospital have basically been started, and she is busy in the hospital all day long, except for helping Yin's buy vegetables, and then buying some needles and threads, she basically doesn't go out.
Song Xiaochi, Cheng Lao, and Cheng Shenyi discussed, and paid Sang Qiuyan one or two silver a month, but Sang Qiuyan refused, saying that when she suffered so much, they could take her in and let her have a place to live.
At Song Xiaochi's insistence, she only received 500 wen a month in the end, but she worked harder, as if she was afraid that she was not worth the 500 wen, Song Xiaochi Corals persuaded her, she responded in her mouth, but she was still busy.
This time is no exception, I want to stay in the medical hall to help Cheng Lao.
"Sister Sang, you and the girl and they go out together, there are me and my family in the medical hall, don't worry."
Mu Zuo persuaded, don't look at Mu Zuo who looks older than Sang Qiuyan, in fact, he is several years younger than Sang Qiuyan, but he just looks old, and he looks a little anxious.
Sang Qiuyan was about to shake her head, but was pulled out by the lotus root one by one.
"Sister Sang, let's go, I have to pick up Miss Qu and Young Master Qu, although it is said that the Qu family has set up a tent to watch, but if we go late, I'm afraid we will have to crowd to see the shed, and it will definitely be crowded, where the carriage goes, it's better to go early."
The lotus root has been practicing martial arts all year round, and her hand strength is not comparable to that of ordinary women, so Sang Qiuyan naturally couldn't break free, so she had to be pulled out by her obediently.
Xie Yan rode a horse, Cheng Shenyi drove the car, and Song Xiaochi and the four of them rode to Qufu in a carriage.
"Aunt is going too?" After the subordinates reported, it was not only Qu Wenshu and Qu Xinghui's sisters and brothers and the guards who came out of Qu Mansion, but the Jiang family also came out together.
Jiang is afraid of heat, and he doesn't like too noisy scenes, so he has always not joined in this excitement, Xie Yan didn't think that Jiang would be together before, but after thinking about it, he understood, "Is it because of Governor Hu?" Mrs. Hu is also going to see the dragon boat race? ”
Jiang nodded, "Exactly, I have met Mrs. Hu a few times before, and the friendship is okay, she gave me a post the day before yesterday, saying that she asked me to accompany her to watch the dragon boat, although Lord Hu has a house in Maoyuan Mansion, and there are also people to take care of the house, but this is not the place where he lives forever after all, and there are not many people, so the Hu family did not set up a tent, Mrs. Hu wants to come to our house to watch the shed."
Xie Yan chuckled, "Mrs. Lian didn't invite her to the Lian's house?" ”
Governor Hu himself naturally had to watch in the official shed built by the government with the magistrate of Maoyuan Mansion, and the female dependents could not enter the official shed, so they had to use other people's houses, but with the identity of Mrs. Hu, where did she need to open her mouth, and the people who wanted to invite her might have broken through the threshold of the Hu family.
"There are naturally a lot of people who invite her, but there are some that she can't go, and some that she doesn't want to go, so the Qu family should be the most suitable." Jiang smiled.
Song Xiaochi came down to meet Jiang, and Xie Yan helped Jiang into the carriage of the Qu family, Qu Wenshu and the nurse holding Qu Xinghui then got into the carriage, Jiang lifted the curtain and looked at Xie Yan and Song Xiaochi who were standing in front of the carriage, and instructed: "When you get to the shed, your uncle should call you over, let you meet Lord Hu, this is the Dragon Boat Festival, Lord Hu should not hold a banquet in the evening, you and your uncle-in-law will come back to eat on time for me, if you don't come, I will take Ah Chi back to the house, and I won't let her go back to the hospital in the future, I don't think you're coming? ”
Jiang threatened as if it was true or false, Xie Yan glanced at Song Xiaochi, Song Xiaochi was a little shy, and glared at him, Xie Yan hurriedly made a gesture towards Jiang, and said respectfully: "Aunt Aunt's orders, Yan dare not disobey, Yan will not only go by himself, but also drag his uncle-in-law home on time, I don't know if my aunt is still satisfied?"
Jiang Shi nodded at Xie Yan, shook his head and smiled, "You, you, this temperament is becoming more and more lively." Out of the corner of his eye, he looked very satisfied.
